Congress Adjourna-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The eventful second session of the fifty third congress closed In the senate without 6 ripple on the surface to mark the fact. The spirit of peace seemed to pervade the chamber, and the last days session was as dull as it was peaceful The greatest effort of the few enstors remaining on deck was to Kill time during the two hours inter vening between assembling and adjourn ing, and this they did by succession of short recesses. E-.
 The usual resolutions of thanks to the presiding officers-Vioe President Steven son and President pro tenn. Harris-were offered by Senators Quay and Manderson and were adopted unanimously.
 The close of the second session of the house of represen tatives for the fifty third congress was the tamest In years It was absolutely devoid of interesting features. Although the galleires were crowded, there were not more than 76 of the S5o members on the floor
 The usual committee was appointed to wait on the president and inform him that congress was ready to adjourn.
 A resolution to print copies of a com parison of the new tariff bill with the Wilson bill and the Mckinley law en- countered the enmity of Mir. Johnson of Ohio, who did not think the comparison (prepared under the direction of Senator Gorhan) revealed all the facts, and a deadlock ersued which forced a recess un- til just before 2 o'clock, when, after an unsuccessful attempt to pass several local bills by unanimous consent the speaker declared congress adjourned sine die.

 After that they sat there whenever they were alone together.
 So 1t was that, seated on a divan op- posite the long window, the princess saw kneeling before her him who was not yet her lover, but to whom she felt already that she entirely belonged
 'Ah. my life, how l love youp' he was saying.
 His arms were about her. Drawing her closer to him, he sought her lips. She was uneasy and made as if she would release herself, when, suddenly conquered by the convulsion which rent her heart, she closed her eyes, and her lips met his,
 Yam Barsouck watched. Before those swo young creatures rapt in an ecstasy of love he smiled
 This love, what was it? A pit into which man led woman, and she ran to it blindly, careless of her fate
 Yam understood this love No one could initiate as he could the moaning love lamentations of the otter to his mate How many had he shot, to save them from their doom" as he ex- pressed it
 Meanwhile, his eyes fixed on the count, Yann silently leveled his carbine
 Inflamed by the long, voluptuops em- brace and moved by the strength of his passion, Alexis arose Little by little he pressed closer against him the slight form lying so unresistingly in his arms With his impatient fingers he tore aside the silk folds of her gown
 But the princess stood erect The adorable modesty of her gesture, the look of amazement in her eyes, accom- panied by so much love, so much fear, reminded Alexis of his promise Fall ing once more upon his knees, respect fully, reverently. he laid his lips to the hem of her gown
 Barsouck saw all, even the look of mad passion with which the princess thanked Alexis. unconsciously promis- ing to repay him hundredfold for the sacrifice she now imposed on him
 A veil was suddenly torn away from the soul of the brute. His savage na- ture was electrified by the ray of un- derstanding which penetrated his very heart It was a new idea-exquisite. el- evating-that of woman's modesty,
 Now he understood purellove
 AS Alexis rose from his knees the prince entered Certain of satiatlng his hatred, gloating over the horror into which his unexpected entrance had thrown them, the prince advanced de- liberately toward the lovers, who stood trembling before him. He went eau tiously, like a caterpillar creeping un- der the petals of a flower.
 Alexis threw himself in front of the princess But quickly disengaging her self the woman boldly confessed all Then, with superb audacity, she stood staring in her husbands face.
 Old Horostienko was beside himself with rage Grasping the handkerchief which was to serve as signal to Bar souck, he threw it with the force of a blow in his wife's face
 Surprised to see the count still erect, he turned toward the window-and fell, shot through the eye.

 With materials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges, the cost of their product must be correspondingly cheapened. Thereupon justice and fair ness so the consumer would demand that the manufacturers be obliged to submit to such a readjustment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods as would secure to the people the benefit of the reduced cost of their manufacture and shield the consumer against the exaction of inordinate profits.
 Ut will thus be seen that free raw ma terials and just and fearless regulation and reduction of the tariff to meet the changed conditions would carry to every humble home in the land the blessings of increased comfort and cheaper living.
 The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and we'll for tariff re- form should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open war fare and constantly guarding against treachery and half heartedness in their camp.
 Tariff reform will not be settled un- til it Is honestly and fairly settled in the interest and to the benefit of patient and long suffering people. Yours very truly,
