delegation was present and MI. Hender-
son wss the only one of the North
Carolinians present In q few moments
Mr.. woodland came In. There has been
nothing to make Il necessary for the
congressman to remain In the city DUR
ing the past week, and as SO many hao
campaigns on hand they went TO their
respective homes.
Over in the Senate the attendance was
even more slender. The few who sat
around the chamber were merely waning
for the final adjournment.
The Presidents letter was OF course
the subject Of general comment at the
Capitol to-day. A variety OF Opinions
could be heard. AS a rule members sui
regret that Mr.. Cleveland could not see
his way to approve the tariff Dill. HIS

NORFOLK DISTRICT REPUBLICANS
S.ver,t Renublicans from Norfolk and
that Mr.. Borland, who was Attorney ioi

moo for Congress in the Second District.
Thev talk as II he Is perhaps the pes'
| nan in their party for the factions u

Bowden. they say, would antagonize 'he
other crowd, and IL ex-Congressmah
Harry Libbey were TO be placed IN the
field. there would be a row, Also MI t1'p-
| hey. IL is said, has never been ANXIOUS J,

ord no certainly does not care for IL now'
yyi,b the uncertainty OF the Walton eiec-
,;or.iaw which ne has doubts ABOUT
when IL comes to giving the Repupiicahs
as much show as they had under the
Anderson Mccormick law.

senator's appointed to-day to wait on 'he
President lust before the Adjournment
| TO ascertain whether or not the Execu-
| tive had any further communications 10
| submit to Congress. Many times during

The report that Senator German Is
going TO Europe appears to have no foun-
dation. He Is at Saratoga, where he
proposes to remain for a month, and then
he will go TO his country home. In Mary
land. The Senator Is at present in poor
