WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o.-The final
action OF the president on the tariff bill Is
the only thing that stands between the
senate and final adjournment.
1t is tho general opinion that with the
bill passed upon by the chief executive,
adjournment could be arranged within a
days time. The last of the appropriation
bills received the final consideration Of the
senate during the past week, and even
without the passing Of the Murphy resolu-
tion, there would not have been much prob
ability OK any general legislation owing to
the likelihood Of there being no quorum.
The last rollcall Saturday discovered
only 45 senator's, two moro than quorum,
In the chamber and the highest number
of the day was "a. Several have left since.
1t is probable, therefore, that the daily
sessions from this time forward will be
brief, and that only bills to which there is
no opposition from any senator or over
which there ID no contest will be taken up.
The Democratic managers hope to have
the bill repeating the provision in the tar
IN bill exenpting alcohol used in the arts
and in the manufacture of medicinal pre-
parations included in the list. FThere ap-
pears likelihood OF opposition on the Re-
publican side and, IL there should be,
this bill must necessarily go over until the
next session. The Democratic members
or the finance committee also hope to re-
port the supplemental tariff bills during
the week, but do not expect action on
them. Probably considerable time will
be spent In executive session In confirm
Ing nominations TO which no one objects.
The House of Representative
Is now ready to adjourn. Its work has
been completed it is only awaiting the
action Of the senate and the president. It
Is probable that IL will adjourn from day
TO day until congress adjourns
IL may be, however, that the time will
be partly occupied by giving days to the
several committees of the house to con-
slider such business as they care TO bring
before the house, but this question has not
been decided
Speaker Crisp Is at Old Point Comfort,
and Mr.. Outhwaite, one of the other mem
bers OF the committee on rules, Is out of
the city, and no program will be arranged
until they return. Today, under the
rules, is suspension day, as are also the
last six days Of the session, but as a resolu-
ton for adjournment will not be passed
until the president acts on the tariff bill.
the rule with reference to suspension days
will not 60 into effect until the date of ad-
journment has been fixed by both houses

results from making reduced rates for con-

Every summer there Is a continuous sue

is the general passenger business OF the

A Valuable Saurian.

The alligator was never beloved by the
people living in the regions where it
abounded. The farmers mathematical it
as a destroyer of young pigs, while every
one was agreed it was an ugly, useless
animal. But since the demand for its
skin for valises, pocketbooks, and a
thousand and one such uses, has resulted
in the almost entire destruction of the
alligator, the residents OF the bay and
bayou regions of Louisiana and Florida
have discovered the huge saurian's vlaue.
With its disappearance there has been a
great increase in the number of musk
rats, rabbits, raccoons, and other mis-
chievous animals, and in some parts of
Louisiana since the disappearance of the
alligator these animals have lately be-
come a dangerous pest. The rats burrow
through the levees built TO keep the water
on the rice fields during the growing
season, and do immense damage. Con-
slant watchfulness and much hard work
is required to keep up the levees, which
oftentimes are so honeycombed as to need
entire reconstruction. The rabbits and
raccoons make great havoc on the truck
farms, destroying lettuce. cauliflower,
and cabbages wholesale. Some farmers
have had to build wire fences about
their fields, while others have abandoned
the raising of these vegetables. Several
years ago law ,was made in Plaque
mines parish forbidding the killing OF
alligators, and with their increase the
destructive vermin decreased. But that
law has since been repealed. -[New York
