Senator Washbprne Bows to the Inc able
and Consents to Postponement.
WASHINGTON. July 3O.-The attend.
ance of senators to-day was below the
quorum point, But attention was not
called to the fact. and routine business
was proceeded with. Mr.. Higgins
offered a resolution directing an in
vestigation of the Canadian Pacific
railroad company, its large subventions
from the Canadian and British govern
ments and its determinations against
American railroads. and a report as to
the propriety of suspending the privi-
leges of the transit trade, and such
other legislation as might appear nee
essary in order to protect the internal
and foreign commerce of the United
States against Canadian aggression.
Mr. Allison introduced, with an ex-
PLANTATION of the facts necessitating il,
a joint resolution continuing the ap-
preparations for the service of the
government. covered by the sundry
civil appropriation bill. up to and in
Guiding Wednesday next 1t was
passed.
Mr.. Washburne made another futile
attempt to get unanimous consent to
have the anti-option bill voted on next
week, and then adopted the suggestion
of Mr.. Gibson of Louisiana to let the
matter go over till next session as un-
finished business That course was
adopted.
After appointing a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Cameron, Carey and
German to attend Mr.. Craig's funeral,
and after the vice president was in
structed to telegraph absent senators
to return to the city and to notify
those who were in the city not to leave
until the business of the session was
closed, the senate adjourned.

All Government Printing Stopped for
Lack Of Funds.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-As soon as
the house met to-day. filibustering
upon the worlds fair amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
resumed and there was no prospect of
q cessation of hostilities-
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, offered .
resolution extending the appropria-
tions carried by the sundry civil bill Of
last year until August 4, but Mr.. Hop
kins, of Illinois, objected and the
speaker said that the resolution was in
nature Of an appropriation bill The
pending business was also an appro-
priation bill, and he did not think that
the resolution had any priority, but as
the question was q most important one
he would inquire further.
The house then adjourned, out Of
respect to the memory of Representa-
tive Craig. but not before a protest
had been made by Mr.. Reed, who
thought that the house should, in the
present state of business. remain in
session.
The sundry civil bill having failed
to pass and the resolution to extend
the appropriations of last year not
having been agreed to. work in the
government printing Office must cease
ut midnight. as, under a strict con-
struction Of the law, the public printer
will be unable to continue, but can
keep only q sufficient force to protect
public property. The work of the
office will be contested and even the
Recorder cannot be issued.

Born In B00nville, No., Deem
Der 25, 1891, Died There On
Saturday. July 80, 1892.

One morning, when fern-like leaves
and flowers, woven by the wind and
frost in the silent watches of the
winter night, were clinging in crys-
talline splendor to the window panes;
and as the Wild clangor Of the Christ
mas bells from the snowy church
steeples announced the anniversary Of
Christ's nativity, there was one house
hold happy above all others in that
pleasant city.
Like the bright coming Of an angel,
like the advent of . herald
from the pearly precinct Of
the Great White Throne,
q son was born unto these proud pa
rents. To them, in their joy, the stars
seemed to repeat the song heard in The
heavens of the Orient when the Savior
Of men first looked upon his future
field of tragedy and triumph. The
very flowers Of frost upon the window
glass seemed fragrant. and the clsmor
Of the Christmas oells grew sweeter
than the summer singing of forest
birds.
At this holiday-tide there may BE-
gifts Of gold and silver and precious
stones. Priceless fabrics of cunning
workmanship and costly volumes Of su-
preme magnifcence may be presented
in token of someone's love and loya'ty,
but these are all mere triAes compared
with such . gift from the hand Of God
bimself.
The winter waned away. the SPRING
time came and faded, the bloomy
depths of midsummer drew near, and
then the shadow Of this young couples
supreme calamity fell upon their
household. Death suddenly Get bis
deep seal upon the silent lips and in
iant eyes of their dimpled darling,
and it, cheeks, which had been %
richly rose-tinted, turned to the waxen
paieness Of lilies.
Ala, for this peerless and priceless
Christmas gift from God 1t has
been folded back to the bosom Of Him
who lay in the manger at Bethlehem.
and who has risen to yonder roseate
realms of everlasting existence to re-
ceive from . scene Of sorrow this pure
and precious darling, dead at des.
pairing mothers breast.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The names
of the members of congress whom Mr..
Watson of Georgia had in mind when
he wrote in his book about drunken
congressman on the floor of the house
did not come out this morning in the
investigation of the special committee
appointed yesterday to inquire into
the charges
Mr.. Watson was the first witness
He said that he knew enough to sub
stantiate the charges he had made.
He would regret to mention names
and would only do SO under compul-
sion. He had in mind two men,
bers present during the debate
on the silver bill at a night
session early in March, when he
wrote about members reeling on the
floor of the house in a state of intox-
ication. The phrase drunken speak.
ers debating grave questions" referred
to one speaker on one occasion only
the Noyes-Rockwell debate. In his
opinion that speaker was in state of
maudlin intoxication. In front
of the speaker was cup
and saucer. Its contents were
replenished several times and it
was noticed that the more he drank
the more he wandered in his argument.
He heard the speaker say to page:
''Bring me more of that stuff-that
whisky" He regarded the speaker as
a lovable and honorable man and one
who no doubt regretted the occurrence
as much as one possibly could Wit
ness would not shrink from mention
ing names II forced to the issue. His
hesitation came from desire to shield
the persons concerned.
Chairman Boatner said that the COM
mittae would consider whether or not
it would ask for names
Representative Otis of Kansas said
that he had seen evidences of intoxica-
ton on the part of members on two
occasions. Asked about the degree OF
intoxication of the member addressing
the house while under the influence OF
liquor, he said: HE was pretty
well set up. l thought the longer he
proceeded the worse he grew" Wit
ness told Representative Simpson that
most certainly he had noticed drink
ing habits on the part of members
Coming from a prohibition state It was
perhaps more noticeable than it would
have been otherwise.
Miss Dwyer, a congressional report
or of the National Economist, cOrrO-
borated the testimony of the other
witnesses as to the member under the
influence of liquor addressing the
house.
Representatives Halvorsen of Min
nesota, Butler of Ohio. Shell of South
Carolina, Clover and Davis of Kansas
and others testified to having seen
members intoxicated on different
occasions, and in one case while q
member was addressing the house.
Baker of Kansas recalled four in
stances.
MIR. Watson then wanted to prove
the existence of a bar-room in the
capitol building. but Chairman Boatner
would not let him and would not agree
that the record should show the re-
fusaL
BY a vote of Messrs Boatner,
Buchanan of Virginia, Wolverton and
Grout, against Mr. Simpson, motion
to admit evidence of drinking in the
house restaurant was overruled.
Representative Logan had gone home
and this closed the evidence Mr.. Wat
son had to present, except that he said
that if any point was made of the
words of ''maudlin rambling" he
wished to have the original steno-
