A LONG SESSION.
Congress May Remain in Session
Until tho Election.
The House Throws Down tho Gauntlet to

1t IL Presumed that the senate
VIII Accept tho ChRllenge.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-A matter Of
great significance happened in the con-
gressional halls Wednesday. The house
has thrown down the gauntlet to the
senate, and the edict has gone forth
that congressman must make their ar
rangements to remain ut the capital
all summer. The house insists that the
senate shall recede from its amend
ments making increases in the impor~
tant appropriations for governmental
expenses, and the threat is made that il
the senate refuses to yield as suggested,
the democratic house will not permit
the important money bills to pass. Evil
dcnce of this purpose was given Wednes-
day by the second rejection by the
house of the conference reports, which
represented the best compromises that
could be arrived at by the committee
men on the part of the two houses
Anticipating similar action by the
house upon other appropriation bills
the democrats of the senate have seen
fit to refrain from carrying into effect
their declared purpose to obstruct the
passage of certain important amend
ments brought forward by the rcpubli-
cans--notably that to carry into effect
the ocean mail subsidy act; but to al
low those amendments to go upon the
bills, with the full understanding that
the house will make the fight to throw
them out.
1t is assumed that the senate will ac-
cept the challenge given by the house,
and, if so that the fight will continue
on that line all summer, and the pres
ent session of congress will extend well
upon election day. Wednesday the
house refused to accept the Indian ap.
preparation bill as reported by confer
ence, making, as stated, the second con.
ference report that democratic body has
repudiated. Upon the senate side there
is a determination to stand fast, anc
the president will encourage them tc
do so.

A Knotty Question,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Owing to
the Chinese exclusion law, Horn Bot, a
wealthy Chinese merchant, is unable to
land his wife, whom he but recently
married in China. Bot says that he met
the girl in Marysville, CAL, five years
ago and they became bethrothed. Her
parents took her to China for
proper education. A few months ago
they were welded. He came back
with his wife and her young sister. His
own papers were all right, but the GUS
tom house records had no mention of
the departure of his bride five years
ago, and Judge Morrow decided that she
could not enter the country. When she
learned that she had to return TO China
she burst into tears and refused to be
comforted. Her husband swears he will
spend a fortune, if necessary, appealing
the case to the supreme court

Tho Soourge Raging In some Parts OF
Notwithstanding From Famine to lie
Confronted by tho Dread Disease.
Er. PETERSBURG, June 29.-Consternas
ton prevails in some parts of the em-
pire owing to the rapid spread of chol-
era. At Balsu, capital of the govern
ment of BalSu, on the west const of
the Caspian sea, thirty-hve new case of
the disease were reported Monday.
BalSu is a great petroleum shipping
port. The streets are narrow and
crooked, and the town is generally ill-
built Sanitary rules are more hon
ored in the breach than in the observ-
ance, though since the ministry of the
interior has taken the matter in hand
some little Improvement is seen.
The city contains Parsee temples, to
which pilgrimages are made by that
sect, and 1t is highly probable that the
disease was introduced by the pilgrims.
Thousands of the workmen employed in
the city and at the petroleum springs
on the peninsula of Apsheron, on which
Baku is situated, have become so fright
ened that they are leaving in droves.
The quarantine commission at Baku has
telegraphed the ministry of the interior,
that though there is little betterment
in the sanitary condition of the city, the
regulations for preventing the spread OF
the disease are not sufficiently stringent
to effect the end sought. The commits
sion asks for further power in the prem
ises
The military physician at Dushals
has telegraphed that the disease there
has got beyond his control, and asking
that medical attendance and nurses be
sent to him. A feature of the epidemic
is the rapidity with which the persons
stricken with it collapse. One of the
guards on the Trans-Caspian railway
was seized with cholera and died on his
train before any medical assistance
| could be obtained for him.
