WEDNESDAY, SEPT. @.

In the Senate another day was spent in
speechmsking.
After some routine business Mr.. Voorhees,
called up his resolution providing for the meet
ings of the Senate hereafter at II o'clock. 1t
was apparent that the Senator from Indiana
was much annoyed when he rose, and every
body was surprised when he announced that
after I" full and careful consultation with friends
of the repeal bill on this side of the Chamber
in whose ind gment / have been accustomed TO
confide, and whose wishes l cannot disregard,
will ask that this resolution go over for the
present. believing that If we occupy the time of
the Senate carefully we will make az much
speed. perhaps, as by its adoption. until at least
O later day" eos
The silver Senator's made aggressive move
ment through Senator Morgan calling up his
resolution providing for the creation of joint
committee of both Houses to consider the
financial situation. He made long speech as
to the need of some broad and comprehensive
survey of the financial situation.
Senator Voorhees, then moved that the Sem
ate proceed to the consideration of the Wilson
bill. After opposition on the part of the silver
Senator'S and n calling of the roll, which took
until o'clock, when the bill became the order
anyway, Senator Stewart resumed his speech.
Ats p. %. Mr.. Voorhees, asked the Nevada
Senator if he wished to continue his speech
that evening. and upon replying in the mega
tive, moved for an Executive session.
After the doors wsge opened the Senate, at
5:15, adjourned.
In the House the scene was fat and stale. A
wrangle over the rules occupied most of the
time.
The Kyle amendment striking from the rules
the clause making 100 members quorum in
Committee Of the Whole was agreed to.
Several amendments were considered and
lost, aud the consideration of the code having
been completed, the rules were adopted with
out division.
The House, at $50, adjourned until satur-
day.

ABOUT PEOPLE,

The youngest member of the House. Repre-
sentative Settle, of North Carolina, when the
time came made an eloquent and thoughtful
contribution to the financial debate. Mr. Settle
is the FIRST man born since the war to obtain
seat in Congress, and has already begun to ex-
hibit many of the qualities Iich distinguished
his father, the late Judge Settle.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-09-14

made. On the whole however much attention
was given to Mr.. Teler's speech, the main
point of his argument being an attempt to
provo that the financial troubles were not due
TO tho Sherman law.
At $50 Mr.. Teller was still speaking. Mr..
Voorhees, interrupted him to move an Execu-
tive session, and the silver Senator gladly
yielded.

MONDAY, SEPT. IL.

In the Senate, there were 10 Democrats and
Is Republicans when the proceedings opened
Mr.. Dolph presented a remonstrance against
the execution of the Chinese exclusion act
from the Oregon Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and he said that this petit
ton illustrated what he had said the other
day, that much of the criticism of the Geary
act came from persons entirely unfamiliar
with il; in this case Ire pointed out wherein
the Conference was mistaken as to the require
ments of the law.
Referring to the bill recently introduced in
the House to extend the requirements for one
year, Mr.. Dolph declared that he would have no
objection to that extension if the Chinese Six
Companies would advise the Chinese to regis
ter.
Mr. Pugh addressed the House in opposition
to the bill before the Senate. At the end he
limited at filibusterimg means to enable
the opponents of repeal to stand upon their
convictions"
Mr. Teller then finished his speech of the
day before.
The Senate, at sos, after short Executive
session, adjourned until tomorrow.

TO RESTORE THE OLD RULING,

Representative Meiklcjohn, of the Third Dis
trict of Nebraska, has introduced bill in the
House regarding the dependent pension law.
His bill says that Preceded, That if the dis
ability or disabilities rendering the claimant
unable to earn support are OF such degree
would be rated at or above SO aud less than
$12 under existing laws they shall. under this
act. be rated the same as like pensioDable dis
abilities of service origin, and all claimants with
a pensonable disability disabilities which
are Of service origin would be rated at or above
$l2 per month shall DO rated at sig per month";"

In the House, the attendance was small and
the interest weak. Several unimportant reso-
lutions were offered and referred.
Mr. Meiklejohn (Neb.. r. asked consent for
the immediate consideration Of resolution
calling on the Secretary Of the Interior for in
formation as TO the number of claims allowed,
disallOwed or suspended for pensions under
the disability act. Mr. Martin lind, d. OBJ
jected, and the resolution was referred.
At 1890 the House adjourned.

FRtpAY, SEPT. 8.

In the Senate the policy of the silver men is
one of delay. Senator Faulkner eloquently
delivered speech, that was but a part of the
plan of the silver men to kill time, although
the Senator declared himself in favor of repeal,
in the event that vote can be reached. His
proposed amendment indicates disposition to
delay final action. Every proposed amend
ment is excuse for further debate and time
killing roll calls. 1t would seem that the Senate
must adopt closure rule before unconditional
repeal can be accomplished.
After Mr. Faulkner closed his speech the
floor was taken by Mr.. Turpie lind, d.. who
addressed the Senate in favor of the principle
of bimetallism.
Mr.. Jones lark, d. was the next speaker.
He would vote against the pending bill and
would resist its enactment into law as long as
possible unless it was coupled with some meas

In the House there was less than 100 mem
bers at the opening. Mr. Murray asked for
the immediate consideration of joint rasolu-
ton appropriating $4,000 to enable the Sec
rotary of War to purchase rations and medi-
cnes, aud distribute them among the sufferers
from the August cyclones along the South At
lantic coast.
Mr.. Kilgore objected, and the resolution was
referred.
The House, at 12:40, adjourned until to-mor-
row.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The War Department announces that the
slir created recently over the exhibition of a
recruiting plscard of the United States Army
in an Ottawa (Csnada) store window, which
called for able-bodied men to join the United
States Army, was simply "a tempest in teapot"
The display Of the placard was unauthorized
by the War Department. and it is said that
the poster was obtained without authority by
unknown parties.

Herman Perls, veteran of the late war, one
OF the owners and publishers of the De,rtsehe
PFesse, the leading German newspaper at the
Capital, fell and broke his leg, on Wednesday,
Sept g. What makes this accident especially
severe TO COmrade Perls is the fact that when
soldier in a New York regiment he was
wounded so severely in his other leg at An
tietsm that he could hardly navigate. This
accident therefore, is especially unfortunate,
because the good leg is the one that was hurt
his time.

Comrade William d. Mack, who was unfor-
tunate enough TO lose both feet in returning
from the battlefield OF Gettysburg on the
4th of July last. was out driving last week, and
appeared in excellent health. One foot has
been amputated above the ankle, and the other
cut clean away, leaving nothing but the heel.
In very short time Comrade Mack will be
around with artificial limbs, and the Surgeons
predict that he will be able to get about with
out the least difficulty. II it almost a miracle
for man Of Comrade Maek's age to have re-
covered from such shock.

PASS ITARoUND.

There are some sixty-five thous-
and dollars lying in State Treas
urer Metcham's Office belonging
to the 5 per cent. road fund.
This 5 per cent. is of the sales of
public lands, granted when Ore
gon was admitted as state, for
internal Improvements. So far
the fund has been consumed by
the Oregon City locks and interest
on warrants issued therefor. But
now the Oregon legislators will

DEATH or W. S. LADD.

William S. Ladd, the well
known pioneer and millionaire
phllanthrophist, died of heart fail
ure at his home in Portland Fri
day morning January 9th at $50,
at the age of G6. His death was
sudden, but was not wholly unex-
pected, as he had been an invalid
for many years, caused by para
lytic stroke received over fifteen
years ago, which partially de-
prived him of the use of his lower
limbs. The day before, he went
out driving, and that evening was
quite jovial. He passed the night
very comfortably, and while dress
ing for breakfast, fell back and
instantly expired.
On account of his illness for
some years past the active man.
agement of his large banking in-
terests, both in Portland and else
where, have been transferred to
his son, William III. Ladd. The
personal management of his many
other great financial interests and
projects have been entrusted to
competent and trustworthy men.
and his death will cause no bust
ness disturbance.
In Wall street Mr.. Ladd has
been rated as high as $4,000, zoo.
The value of the enormous estate
is very difficult to- estimate, or the
properties to mention i'll detail.
Besides his great banking interests
and his holdings in many larger
corporations here and in the east,
railroad stocks, bonds, ETC., his
possessions are very extensive
and will probably reach $2S,000,-
900.
MI. Ladd was an earnest relig-
ious worker and was one of the pill
lars of the Presbyterian church.
He was prominent in charitable
Contribution, and was public spir-
tied pioneer citizen, as well as one
of the greatest fnanciers of the
Pacific coast.

AFTER all, it was probably much
better for congress and Secretary
Rusk to give the rain-making ad-
vocates another exhaustive trial,
after people generally were con-
vinced that there was absolutely
nothing in the theory. 1t cost the
government 5000, and some prl-
vate parties a good deal more, bat
the matter has now been def
nitely settled against the would be
rain makers. They were given
everything they asked for, and
they tired the experiments under
the most favorable conditions.
The failure was so utter that not
a word can ever be said again in
favor of the scheme. The thing is
settled for all time. Had it not
been demonstrated SO thoroughly,
there would have still been a
chance for sharps to swindle the
farmers of the "arid westn out OF
considerable money, on the five
cents an-acre racket. Now, the
farmer who would pay any money
to these humbugs would be so big
a fool that it would be useless to
try to save him from being swim

SuPERINTENDENT DOWNING deci-
sively contradicts the report that
convicts are to be allowed to have
newspapers to read in the peniten-

that professional criminal would

A PAPER WORTH HAVING.

The old saying that "nothing succeeds
like success" is well illustrated by the ca
reer of the Rural Northwest. which was
founded in Portland, Oregon, little over a
year ago, and has already established itself
as the leading agricultural paper of the Pa
ci6c northwest. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that the success of this paper is simply
the result of merit. It is no cheap concern
made up of stereotype plates and stale clip
pings, but is bright, crisp and clear, filed
with original matter which hits the condi-
tons that exist in the Pacific northwest.
Among fruit flower : it is an especial favor
ite, as it makes horticulture leading fea-
ture, and gives the best and fullest reports
published of he meetings of the state horti-
cultural societies of Oregon and Washing
ton, and includes among its regular contrib
utors in this department such men as Prof
Lake, of the Washington agricultural col
lege; Prof Washburn, of the Oregon agri.
cultI raj college. A. T. Hawley and others
of eminent ability. The dairy department
is maintained with no less vigor, as indi.
Gated by the fact that it's editor. H. m. Will
Hanson, holds the position of secretary of
the of the Oregon State Dairy Association.
Live stock and poultry are not neglected,
nd progressive agriculture is the spirit
which animates the general management of
the paper.
Among special features are its depart
ments devoted to the ssHome Circle and
Among the Farmers" The latter depart
ment is very popular and special feature
with this paper.
One of the peculiar merits of the Rural
Northwest is that everything is treated
from the practical standpoint OF the produ-
Ger. This handsome I6-page paper, pub
lished twice a month, Is a paper well worth
its subscription price of one dollar per
year. and one that every farmer, fruit
grower and dairyman should have and keep.
