FROM WASHINGTON CITY.

Representative Cultivate of Ohio is
the latest to verify the report that Con-
gress will convene in extra session in
September next. Cultivate does not
take any stock in the statement that inn
me1iately after the appointment of the
House committees recess will be taken
until the first OF December. He said;

in continuous session, barring the usual

1t was learned at the State Depart
ment that the refusal of the Russian
Consul in New York to wise the pass
port issued to Mrs. Sadie Schwartz by the
State Department, on the ground that
she is a Jewess, is in accordance with
the laws OF Russia. Ii Mrs. Schwartz
should make complaint to Secretary
Gresham, she will, OF a necessity, be in
formed that he can do nothing in the
matter, because the rules governing the
Russian consular officers prohibit them
from countersigning any paper intended
for use In Russia by Jews.

The astronomers of the naval observa-
tory have looked all over the world for
spiders webs. Such gossamer flaments
spun by industrious arachnids are util-
lied in telescopes for cross lines extended
at right angles with each other across
the field Of view, SO as to divide the lat
ter into mathematical spaces. Threads
of cobweb are employed for the purpose
because they are wonderfully strong for
their exceeding f~ineness, and also for the
reason that they are not affected by
moisture or temperature, neither ex-
panding nor contracting under any con-
ditions.
Specimens were obtained from China
because 1t was imagined that the large
spiders Of that country would perhaps
produce o particularly excellent quality
of web. However, 1t was found that the
best web Is spun by spiders Of the United
States, such as are plentiful in the neigh
borhood Of Washington. Accordingly

The Amerlcan League.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE news
papers which support the Hawaiian
monarchy have lately had much to say
about the political organization known
as the American league. This league
is said to be society composed of
American residents of Honolulu, pledged
TO maintain the provisional govern
ment in oil things except compromise
with monarchy. The members are also
said to be pledged to armed support Of
the authorities against riot or insurrec-
ton pending the establishment of a
stable government.
The organization is said to favor
the increase of the police force and the
reduction Of the military to volunteer
basis and popular representation in the
advisory council, also to favor the
preference Of American citizens as can
didates for Office. The league is q
secret order, and is supposed to have
10 or 80 members.

THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH

1t Is Said Another Operation VIII BE Per-
formed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Again there
is much talk of President Cleveland's
health. One authority gives it to be
understood that another operation on
the presidents jaw has been determined
on. DR.. Bryant, who cut the cancerous
growth out several months ago, has
been at Woodley within the last week,
unknown to most persons, and was Sc
cretly driven back to the station.
Cleveland's refusal to see many prom
inent men is now apparently accounted
for.
He gave out that he would have no
more to do with appointments, and that
such matters should be left to his cab
met ministers.
1t was distinctly announced that all
communications with him must be
made through Mr.. Thurber, and since
then he has kept exclusively to himself
at his country place.
Says Secretary Lamont: "All talk
about any serious illness of the presi-
dent is nonsense. He had some trouble
with his teeth, and an operation was
necessary, but he was never in better
general health"
Others offer The explanation that the
president is glad to get away from the
danger of cranks, several of whom
have been reported near the White
House lately.
Says correspondent: "If Cleveland
is in good health he doesn't look it.
His face has haggard look"

United States Revenue Officers After
Elicit Whisky Dealers and. Makers.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Nov. IA
United States revenue officers are after
the many saloonkeepers and proprietors
of unlicensed liquor houses in West
Virginia for selling moonsnine whisky,
and the arrest of hundreds of violators
of the law have taken place.
Two hundred and ten more United
States prisoners were taken to Charles
ton yesterday This makes the total
number from the back counties of Nc
Dowell, Mercer, Logan and Wayne
nearly 400. All are arrested for moon
shining, Illicit retailing, etc.
The present move. which is the most
extensive of its kind ever commenced
in this section of the country, is due to
the capture of large band of moon
sinners in Culpepper, Va. The leaders
of the band, it is said, have confessed,
and their statements have implicated
many well known people in this Sec
ton, where the "mountain dew" was
sold
