JUST WASTED AWAY
No Excitement in the Closing Hours Of
Congress
Mr.. Cleve1and's Letter Excited Little
Interest, Although Some Were
Enthusiastic Over 1t.

The closing Congress today was about as
quiet and undressing as can be imagined.
If it had not been for the large assemblage
of visiting Knights Of Pythias, who crowd
ed the galleries, most Of them to see Con-
gress in session for the first time. the ses-
sion would have gone out almost unob-
served. For weeks the Congress has been
simply wasting away. until at the last
hours there was no vitality left and 1t
simply expired without the twitching Of a
muscle.
When the journal was read there were
only about 80 members on the floor Of the
House. and at the very start point of no
quorum was made to cut of unanimous
consent to legislation. Less than a fourth
of the Senators were in attendance upon
the Senate. On neither side was there any
of the hustle and excitement usually at
tending the closing hours of a session.
Mr.. CleVeland's Letter.
The letter of Mr.. Cleveland to Repre-
sentative Catchings of Mississippi was the
only thing that excited any interest and
was the one subject of comment during the
day. The interest in that even was languid.
1t is needless to say that the letter was
not read with great satisfaction by Sena-
tors. 1t was almost impossible to get any
of them to say a word about IT. Inc stereo-
typed reply to a request for an opinion was
that they had not read IL. his Was Sdiu
in a tone of languid contempt. to indicate
that they did not care.
Amorg members of the House there was
very general expression of qualification.
The republicans generally dismissed the
matter with the suggestion that 1t was none
OF their affair, and a few democrats eX-
pressed dissatisfaction, either in terms or
by ill-natured silence.
Some We're Enthusiastic.
But most of the democrats praised the
letter with more or less warmth. and those
most given to enthusiasm declared 1t to be
the best letter he had ever written and one
calculated to help them in the campaign.
The more prominent members of the party,
almost TO a man, spoke of the letter as
Surprisingly apt, and worded 50 as to do the
party the most good possible under the
peculiar circumstances. They regard the
letter as giving them good campaign ma
terial, picking out passages which they think
they can quote in the campaign with effect.
The challenge of the trusts and the filings
at the traitors" are regarded as particu-
larly well-sounding for the stump. Some OF
the democrats who have been most urgent
that he should sign the bill read the letter
and say that they reckon he did the best
thing, anyhow

Heavy Receipts at the New York
Custom House.
CONVENTION OF DELAWARE DEMOCRATS
Fifth Maryland District Repub-
Iicans.
PRES. NEWELL'S FUNERAL

NEW YORK. August 2S-Receipts at the
custom house today will foot UP larger than
for the whole Of the preceding year. This
is the result Of the change In the tariff
law.
Three hundred custom house brokers re-
ceived a license to act as such yesterday
and every one Of that 800 had customers
who wanted their goods out early today.
The consequence was that the brokers were
rushed yesterday and last night to get the
goods entered.
In order to accomplish that a number Of
the brokers made II worth the while Of the
clerks In the custom house to remain after
None Of the offices of the brokers closed
before midnight last night. Some did not
close at all.
The custom house doors were opened to-
day half an hour earlier than usual.
y fair idea of the increase of business can
be gathered from the fact that while ordi-
trily about 10 Withdrawals pass through
Sle division in a day, one firm alone pre-
sented close to 800 Withdrawals today. and
Il is estimated that 5000 Withdrawals in all
Eif have been presented before the day is
done.
As fast as the papers reached their hands
the clerks numbered them and tossed them
into big waste paper baskets that were
Srnptied every minute or SO. and refilled
Rapidly.
Then the brokers and their clerks would
fight their way out of the room. while others
pushed and hauled each other to get closer
to the windows

CLEvELAND'S RINGING PHRASES.
A Suggestion of Plagiarism In His
Latest Literary Effort.

President Cleveland has achieved a
worldwide reputation as a coiner of ring
ing phrases through the means of his pub
lie papers, but not always without being ac-
cused of plagiaristic tendencies The
charge by certain metropolitan journal
that the President has dipped into the en-
cyclopaedias for not only his facts but his
phrases is well known to most citizens
who may therefore be prepared for the IN
timation that maybe the Presidents latest
literary prcduction-his tariff letter to Mr.
Catchings, written yesterday-is not free
from the suspicion that the chief executive
has gone into standard English literature
for some of his word effects. The sentence
in question is as follows.
The Most Striking Phrases.
Il take my place with the rank and file
of the democratic party, who believe in
tariff refor N and who know what 1t is: who
refuse to accept the results embodied in
this bill as the close of the war; who are
not blinded to the fact that the livery of
the democratic reform has been stolen and
worn in the service of republican protec-
ton, and who have marked tae places
where the deadly blight of treason has
blasted the councils OF the brave in their
hour of might
Reference to Tom Moore.
The reader familiar with the works of
follow the sound of the phrase: 1.-The dead
ly blight of treason has blasted the coun-
ellis of the brave in their hour of might"
In the original letter there were no quo
tation marks to distinguish these words from
any others. Therefore, the following qua
train from THE Fire Worshipers'' seems
to furnish the inspiration which perhaps
has caused the peculiar paraphrase in the
Presidents letter to Mr.. Catchings:
20 for tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like deadly bnght,
Comes Ger the councils of the brave,
AMI blasts them in their hour of might"
1t will be roted that the letter does not
strictly follow the verse, but is a rear
rdngement of the most striking phrases
OF the rhyme. Explanation, therefore
would seem to be now in order In this
connection literary Congressman are to-
day quoting the words of Milton in his
lconOclaSte:', chapter %, where he says:
For such kind of borrowing as this. if
1t be not bettered by the borrower among
good authors is accounted Plagiare"

a message from the Senate on some small
resolution or other unimportant matter.
Mr.. English On. j., the venerable author
of Ben Bolt" stood in the arena in front
OF the Speakers chair prepared to enter an
objection to business by unanimous consent
in case Mr.. johnson relented. Mr.. English
was baked In an effort to pass an appro-
priatfon for public building for Paterson,
N. j., Few days ago and was disposed to
take out his revenge on any and everything
legislative that showed its head.
Mr.. Johnson's objection to the resolution
was that the comparison proposed to be
printed had been prepared under the iirec-
ton OF Senator German, and was he claim
ed, misleading in certain particulars.
An Attempt to Compromise.
Mr.. Warner N.Y) made an attempt to
compromise the differences by the adoption
Of an amendment giving Mr.. Wilson, chair
man of the ways and means committee, the
privilege Of adding to the comparison such
statement as he might deem fit.
Mr.. Mahon Pa) objected.
THE resolution must be taken as II is or
not at ALL said he.
Mr.. DeArmond (Mo) submitted another
compromise proposition. but II was also OBJ
5ected to, whereupon, by unanimous con-
sent. the House agreed to take a recess un-
til LAS pm.
At las pm. the House resumed its ses-
sion. whereupon Mr.. Richardson withdrew
the pending resolution. The committee ap-
pointed to wait upon the President consist
ing of Messrs. Wilson. Holman and Hep
burn, then reported that the President had
no further communication to make to Con-
greSs.
The President also requested me-" said
Mr.. Wilson, Ito congratulate the House and
Senate on the close of their labors, and to
wish the individual members a happy and
prosperous vacation"
Mr.. Caminett Cali then succeeded in
getting the floor to ask unanimous con sent
for special committee to examine the
necessity for river and harbor improve
ments on the Pacific coast. but Mr.. Kilgore
CTex) objected.
Ended with a Bang.
Mr.. Doolittle Wash) asked unanimous
consent to consider a bill granting the
Tacoma and Yakima Land Company a
right of way through the Yakima Indian
reservation. but it went down before the
objection Of Mr.. English (N.J). Mr. Terry
CArkD asked unanimous consent for the
consideration Of a bill for the suppression
OF lottery traffic. but while the bill was
being read the hour of o'clock arrived
and the Speaker. with a bang of his gayel.
declared the second session of the Fifty
third Congress adjourned without day

SOME SHARP COMMENT.
Representatives Speak Their Minds
ns to the Presidents Letter.

Members of the House were not so rctf-
cent as the Senators in regard to Mr.. CIeve-
lands letter to Representative Catchings
Representative Sperry of Connecticut said
Il was in hopes the President would spare
his party the infliction of another letter
The tariff bill is distinctly party measure
and according to the Presidents letter to
Mr.. Wilson it is measure permeated with
perfidy and disholor. If that Is a correct
description of the bill L do not see ON what
ground the democratic party can ask to be
continued in power any longer. 1t seems by
the second letter to Mr.. CatchiEgs that the
tariff fight must be continued. This posi-
tiCn must be very disquietirg to all the
bus mess interests of the whole country.
The democrats this fall are placed on the
defensive by these two letters-iirst, in de-
Tending a policy of periidy and dishonor,
and. second, by threatening all the business
interests of the country with further at
tsmptS at tariff legislation.
Every campaign speaker this fall is COM
PEELED To defend mis- party against the allie
cations contained in those two letters, or
else TO defend the President against the al
legations in the letters themselves. My
own opinion OF the Senate bill is that there
is perldy or di.hOnor in the bill itself,
or in the motives of Senators instrumental
in its passage. 1t is a more mature and
equitable measure than the Wilson bill. and
will produce a revenue which the Wilson
bill. they professed, would not, and that is
what tariff bill is for
silent on Most Important Questions.
Representative Johnson (Ohio) - The
Presidents letter is conspicuously silent on
the most important questiOn-sugar. The
effect of his failure to sign the bill and
writing g letter will be to intensity and
continue the fight against protection-not
republican protection. as he puts it, but
democratic protection.
Representative Warner On. Y)-"The
Presidents letter will meet with unquali-
fled approval from all true friends of
revenue reform, especially on the party
policy there outlined. and the program of
aggressive action, first against trusts and
then in favor of free raw materials, and In
favor of every other democratic principle
to reach the fulfilment of which the ranks
Of tariff combination must first be broken"
