 WASHINGTON, June 13.-With the ther- mometer in the eighties, the end not yet in sight, as far as the tariff bill is con- cerned, and Coxey, Browne and Jones re- leased from durance vile, the national capital is keeping its end up and furnish ing amusement fer the weary slaves who have to labor seven hours a day in the departments.
 WILL NOT PASS BY JULY l.
 While the 3Oth of June names the time when the fourth draft of the pending tariff bill shall become law, 1t is not at all probable that the bill will become law by that time, even if 1t has passed the senate, and an adjournment of congress Is not looked for before the middle of July or the first of August.
 PRoTRACTED DEBATE.
 It is not likely that the spirit, cotton and wool schedules and the putting of raw wool on the free list will be disposed of, as the two latter schedules are bound to call ont protracted debate, especially the wool schedule. After this will follow the taking up of the silk, papers and the sun dries schedule, where coal will be found, which, with pearl buttons and gloves, will be made the basis of lively debate. Two or three days at least must then be spsnt on the free list, and stubborn fight is sure to ensue on agricultural implements, lumber and raw wool. Even when tho bill has been finally considered and reported to the senate from the committee of the newed, as we'll as over several other mat ters left open pending the time when the bill shall properly come before the senate. PUBLIC INTEREST ON THE WAYNE. Like most other things in this world, tariff debate, and 1t is rarely now-a- days that over dozen people occupy the public galleries. Of course the sightseers drop l in for minute as usual, but even during 1 the sugar discussion last week, when 6 series of important votes were looked for, | and some lively episodes expected, the rows of empty seats were painfully ap- | parent. As matter of fact the weeks which have dragged along since the tariff 1 debate began have not offered very enter taining return to the patient audience, and l even the habitues of the galleries are be- 1 coming very tired, while on the floor 1t Is aleo apparent that the long struggle Is be l ginning to tell on the senators.
 IN THE HOUSE.
 The house this week will consider appro. l priation bills and district matters, while | the only outside matter to be taken up will be the Hatch anti-option bill, which will | probably provoke extended debate, but which I understand will hardly psss the l house.
 | A JOYOUS OCCASION.
 | Yesterday morning at g o'clock Coxay, Browne and Jones left the district jail free men, having served out their terms o1 twenty days each, during which time they had languished in jail, fed on the best the country affords, while their cells during | the time of their imprisonment were per l feet bowers of roses gent by sympathizers 1 and admirers of these law-breakers. II l was the intention of the wealers to meet the leaders at the jail and have tri l umphsl march to the camp, but this was not allowed by the district commissioners
 When the leaders left the jail they were driven in carriage to the outskirts of the city, where the army were awaiting them
 when the horses were unhitched and rope
 attached to the carriage pole, and amid cheers and cries of long live Coxsy. the
 carriage was drawn by the men to the
 camp at Bladensburg. At the camp Coxey
 and his aides were fed on salt pork and
 bad coffee, which after his high living al
 the jail he no doubt greatly relished
 During the afternoon both Coxey and
 Browne addressed the men and encouraged
 them to look for great things in the neal
 future. Coxey, when seen by your cor
 respondent, was leaning against the fenc:
 pressed himeelf as being quite sure thai
 he would win congressional honors in thu
 coming campaign.

 While Ccxey has been in jail the army

 in numbers, though most of thu
 men who first came with the army are nc

 the army has seemed to hold together. o

 five of the Sweetlsnd army, which started
 from Connecticut, gre here, although theil
 leader has bsen busted because he wanted
 the men to carry a nonsensicsl banner.

 This famous developer of sea ports art

 There is nothing new about these panics. They have come on regularly at intervals l of ten years for the past sixty years 1 with the exception of the period cover ing the war. The worst source of trouble in this country is the labor unions. They could do sn enormous amount of good in steaO OI eFil IT tney WouIu o0ly pfOceeu along right lines. Instead of helping and befriending the weakest they are engaged in trying to tear down the strongest. They would reduce all to dead level of infsri- ority. Political demagogues are also re- sponsibls for great deal of the unrest and dIsquiet now prevailing society. For my own part I sympathize with the lsboring man. I have toiled as hard ss any of them in the sevsrest forms of manual exertion, often orowding two days work in one.

 "There is. too, @ foolish kind of hostil- 1 ity against the rich, a feeling of envy that Is utterly uureasoning and illogical. Were 1t not for the expenditures of the wealthy the poor would have no occupation. The luxuries of the rich are the existence of the poor. In the natural order of things, some msn will acquire wealth, and when this ceases to be the case civilization will be at an end"
 BABY RUTH ALL RIGHT.
 The foolish talk which has been circulat- ing around the country for the past few weeks to the effect that baby Ruth Cleve- land was not right mentally, and which started probably in the inventive mind of some fake newspaper man, Is without
