WASHINGTON. June 20. lS93.
The Congress to-day adjourned as a ma
tional token OF respect and sympathy for
France. the only other great republic OF
EARTH in her loss OF President Carnot.
The Senate and Chamber OF Deputies OF
France set this example for US, and estab-
lished this precedent when President Gar
field was assassinated
Senator Harris was distressed at the
idea of losing the day on the tariff bill.
but was. Of course. I'm favor of so doing.
a great many OF the senators had gone
out OF town on Saturday but expecting
TO witness the closing scenes on the tariff
bill to-day, they had returned. and near
ly a full Senate met this morning ana
cheerfully adjourned. as the heat IL WELL
nigh unbearable now I'm Washington. For
weeks no rain has fallen. and the heavens
are brass above. the dusty, humid atuios-
phere is Sitting. and the sweltering con-
gressmen are cussing just about as much
as the folks at home who are waiting Tor
something to be done"
Mr.. Mills AM sDNESr.
When the Senate meets tomorrow its
first business will be TO resume consld-
Grafton OF the amendment 10 the income
tax bill offered by Senator Hill on Satur-
htAt Nnltn PROVIDES Tor the VI
incomes derived from the interest on nom
taxable Government bonds. Mr. Hill de-
nies that the contract exempting the
bonds from taxation was intended 70 in-
clude the interest on them. and claims
that incomes derived from this source
are. as justly liable to taxation by the
Federal Government as those derived
from real estate. In this opinion he Is
supported by many able constitutional
lawyers although Senator Vest and other
members Of the Finance Committee argue
eh.. l..t.l AE
toll toll not. ote neither k$they spin, the Sem
ator argues that If the country Is 70 bear
the nrst persons who should be included
i'm its provisions, and his sentiments were
reflected to-day In the conversations ot
several southern and western Democratic
senators. II Is probable that had the
amendment been offered by any one else
IL would have stood some show OF pass
ing the Senate, but as his Demoerauc
ing more Of making and preserving q
symmetrical record for himself than OF
assisting in legislation for the good or nus
party. they propose 10 allow him undis-
puted possession of the isolated position
he has chosen, and IL is very probaple
that, Notwithstanding the indiVlduai opin.
ions OF senator's, when the vote Is s,,iia reaeiniea
on this amendment the superb discipline
which has hitherto been maintained py
the managers of the bill will be In .nowise
relaxed and this one T snare by he ne eenioe rao

rHg FINAL VOTE ON TARrVF.
The opinion several times advanced In
this correspondence that the end of tho
fiscal wear would find the tariff Dill In
the Senate, was endorsed to-day by sev- ..
friends OF the measure don't know at
what time the final vote VIII be reachedi
they simply hope" that the measure VIII
be disposed OF by Thursday. lf their.
hopes" are 10 become reallzations some
phenomenal work will be done by the
Senate I'm the meantime.
The anti-option law has passed tho
House and its friends I'm that body have
held their carnival Of boistercus con-
gratulations. This Is the last or H.. Tor
IL would be as easy for camel 20
through the eye Of needle as for this
legislation to pass the Uhited o'a'eS
Serate.
RFsTLFss REPRESENTATIVES,.
The members Of the House are begin
ming 10 grow very restless. with the eN-
ception Of the month OF November they
have been engaged here for nearly one
year, and, I'm fact, with the DemOcratc
majority, most of them have been almost
constantly I'm Washington since Mr.
Cleveland was inaueurated. and have bad
the laborious and thankless job OF dis
current labors In Congress. Just now, too,
many of them feel that they are being
misrepresented and undermined at home
by ambitious opponents. and there are al
ready several instances OF defeat for tho
present members, simply because they
have no opportunity 10 go before their
constituents. OF course, this Is perfectly
apparent 10 the Republicans, and they
are urging the senators TO fiibuster and
talk against the tariff bill day after day
for the sole reason or creating and In
creastng "A sentiment against the Dem-
Ocratic Congress.
The final adjournment or Congress IN
still a question OF considerable future.
for with the tariff bill out OF the Sem
ate by Thursday. or certainly tEis week,
there Is anywhere from nve 70 eight
weeks OF business now IN sight, Inc rem
