WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-Another adiournfient
nm account of death. This makes six adjourn
,ments Of the House IN honor OF distin guishsd
persons since the holiday recess. Five deaths
within twenty days. The FIRST was that OF SEN
ator Gibson Of louisiana. the second that OF
Senator Kcnna OF West Virginia. Next was
the death of the Hon. Rutherford D. Hayes.
and after him that OF Judge L. Q. G. Lamar OF
Tho Supreme Court. Then came the death OF
that eminent statesman. James @. Blaine.
Mr. Hayes's death cost the House two ad-
journments-one on the day after his death
and the other on tho day Of his funeral.
BY the death OF Senator Kenna tho Commit
tee on Naval Affairs lost q day which had
boen specially set apart for the considera-
lion Of it's business. This loss may even-
tuate In the defeat Of the Revenue Ma
zine Transfer bill. BY the death OF Mr..
Hayes. the Committee on Immigration lost Its
special day. 1t wonld have considered tho
Stump bill. providing for q quarantine OF i'm
migrants In foreign ports. and also the 1mmt-
grafton bill The passage OF the Foreign
Quarantine bill might have defeated the Ma
tionai Quarantine bill Tho death OF Mr..
Hayes may send both bills to the wall. The
death OF Mr.. Blaine killed no special order.
Tuesday was set down for the consideration
OF the Torrey Bankruptcy bill. Watchdog
Holman ~antagonized 1t with the sundry Civil
Appropriation bill. But the House walked
ever the Watchdog. He Ind his revenge
when John NJ. Allen OF Mississippi announced
the death OF Justice Lamar. and the House ad-
journed out Of respect to his memory. No
member had tho hardihood to say nc. and the
Torrey people thus lost their day. There was
enough friction developed. however. to fore
shadow the flibustering @: the succeeding
days and to show that the Torrey bill cannot
pass the House without n cloture. Indeed. II
Buck Kilgore had not taken the lead Silver
dollar Bland had openly announced his inten-
ton Of resortIng to nlibustering. II necessary.
to defeat the bill.
When the House adjourned in honor OF the
late Justice Lamar 1t had passed only three
of the thirteen great appropriation bills. These
were the Army. the District OF Columbia. and
tho Notifications bills. There were upon the
calendar the Sundry Civil. the Consular and
Diplomatic. md the Military Academy APP
preparation bills. Six out OF the thirteen Grent
bills have therefore been reported. Seven are
still. in Restntion In committee. They are tho
General Deficiency bill the Legislative. Ex-
scutive and Judicial. the Indian. the Post
ONCE. the Pension. the Naval. and the Agri-
cultural Appropriation bills. Although there
IL no River and Harbor bill this year over
$4,000. 900 are granted under the law in Mr..
Holman's Sundry Civil bill.
Twenty-nine legislative days. including
Waahington's Birthday. are left for work.
The Senate has not as yet considered any OF
the appropriation bills. When you take the
time occupied in conference committees on
the different bills and the wrangling In both
Houses over the negotiations. 1t will be found
that there is very little time in which to do the
business necessary to keep the Government
In running order. aside from outside matters.
The Anti-Option bill has not yet passed the
Senate. It will meet with bitter opposition in
the House on its return. The Pure Food bill
has not yet shown It's head. and the Letter
Carriers bill is still In lethargy. There are
no signs OF a whiskey investigation. As for
tho thousands OF private bills. they apparently
stand no show whatever. Very few are passed.

jector. when unanimous consent is asked. Is
