Are Felt for His Recovery.
Marcus D. Boruck has been lying i'll of
dropsy at his home, 2125 California street,
for the last four weeks. At first the dis
ease seemed to be only slight indispo-
sition.
About fortnight ago it assumed more
serious aspect Mr.. Boruck then grew
rapidly worse, and last week his physicians
abandoned all hope.
Within the last few days he has taken a
turn for the better. Yesterday he was so
much stronger that the doctors expressed
hopes for his ultimate recovery. He was
resting easily at late hour last night.

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

The conference report on the bill to regu-

terday agreed to- The Senate reccdes from

which was held to nullify the bill, and
gives vendors the right of trial by Jury
The House passed Senate bill estab-
fishing regulations for the harbor of Wash

The House also passed the Senate bill
giving the sealer of weights and measures
i'll the District an annual salary of 50 800
instead of fees, placing him under the con-
trol of the Commissioners, eSacting bond
of $4,000, and providing for the appoint
ment Of an assistant.
Mr.. Heard has introduced a bill in the
House, by request, providing that in all
cases where general taxes, assessments for
layingwater mains and other public inn
proyenents in the District shall be de-
clared invalid or void by the courts by rea-
son of any defect in the proceedings relat-
ing to the assessment the Commissioners
be authorized and directed TO reassess
such taxes and assessments with reference
to the value OF the property at the time the
original assessment was made.
The President has approved the act of
Congress authorizing the Commissioners
to appoint women as members OF the board
of trustees of the public schools, and for
this purpose the number of trustees is in
creased from nine to eleven.
The President has also approved the act
authorizing the Rock Creek Railway Com
pany to increase its capital stock and to

BETTER AN EXTRA SESSION.

Twenty-Five millions of dollars represent
the contributions Of the Senate from Uncle
Sans Treasury as riders to the sundry ciyl
and general deficiency appropriation bills.
This immense sum was added to the already
large amount appropriated by the House,
and is made up principally Of lobby claims.
Among them are the French spoliation claims,
the Malone lot steal, the Blaine property
purchase, and the Louisiana sugar bounty
claims
When the Senate stood out for the sugar
trust during the tariff controversy and in
sisted that IFS sponsor should be taken care
Of by Congress the House was obliged to
submit aud surrender its good name at the
command Of a few speculating Senators The
same result will follow this attempt &c
plunder the Treasury or an extra session Of
Congress will be necessary.
Under the circumstances the House COM
mittee conferees are justified in standing out
TO the end for honesty and loyalty to public
interests, even if the appropriation bills fail.
There is such a thing as carrying submission
to the demands Of speculating Senators too
far. The maintenance Of honor in this in
stance is Of more consequence than the ae-
commodation of a coordinate body. and the
House should not make itself responsible
for the misconduct ofthe Senate.
The expense Of an extra session Of Con-
gress is nothing compared TO the humilia-
ton Of giving up in disgrace, and the
country will prefer it to the abiect su mis-
sion Of the House to lobbying, swinding,
shameful misappropriation of public funds.

TEE SUGAR TRUST Has THE CHOICE.

The proposition of the secretary of the
sugar trust TO repeal the one-tenth discrim-
mating duty on raw sugar as a means OF
opening the ports OF Europe to American
meat products would be about as effective as
firing popgun at the moon. 1t is the one
tenth differentiaI on refined sugars that
caused Germany and France to retaliate
against this country. and nothing but a re-
peal Of this duty Will open the way to fur
ther commercial intercourse.
Both Germany and France are large beet
sugar producers and refners, and but little
raw sugar is exported from either country.
Without the difTerential their refined sugars
would find large sale in the United States.
and it was TO prevent this competition that
the duty was imposed at the instigation OF
the sugar trust.
1t is useless for this country to expect
reciprocal commercial intercourse when we
discriminate against foreign products. If
friendly trade relations are 10 be maintained
we must treat other nations as we expect to
be treated. If, on the other hand. no trade
intercourse is desired the tariff wall to ex-
elude foreign imports cannot be too high
and broad. Germany and France closed
their ports against Us and induced other ma
tions to follow their example because of our
differential sugar duty, and it must be re-
moved before we can expect their friendship.
1t is question OF choice b between the
sugar trust and the American farmer. At
present the sugar trust has the choice. and
it costs the farmer many millions Of dollars
each wear,

A ROBBERS BOOST.

Unfortunately for Washington and for the
welfare OF many Of her young men the
race track at Alexander Island opened Fri
day. The association managing this track
is known as q pariah in the sporting
world anG has been refused admission 10 all
decent racing circuits. Among respectable
horsemen the management is believed TO be
thoroughly corrupt and disreputable. and
the wonder is that Virginia viii counte-
nance such a system Of racing robbery. =
On account OF its manifest dishonesty an
effort was made last winter 10 drive the
Alexander Island track out Of existence. but
its charter, probably obtained through fraud.
protected and continued its lease of life.
At that time it was shown conclusively that
the track was a disgrace and shapeful de-
bauchery OF Legitimate racing. and was used
exclusively to pluck the unsophistieafed and
plumber track followers who reposed con-
fidence in the management.
The Times not only warns the Washing
ton public against patronizing this track,

Secre tary Gresham Personally Urging
Provisions for Payment.
Secretary Gresham was at the Capitol
for some time yesterday urging upon
Senators and Repr resentatives the i'm

recognition of the Paris awards concern
ing the payment of claims against this
government.
He told them that if Congress could
not see its way clear to make the ap-
preparation for the payment of the $425,-
COO as rendered by the President they
ought to take some step looking to the
settlement of the claims, otherwise it
would appear that this government meant

Mrs. N. NJ Twitchell. wife of Louisville

at her residence, No. 715 d street north

Mrs. TwitcheIl was about fifty five
years Of age and had many warm friends
in this city. Last evening she was in the
best ofspirits and ate hearty dinner. She
retired early last night and did not get up
at the usual hour this morning but remained
in bed. About noon a servant had occasion
to go into her room. The latter thought at
first that Mrs Twitchell was asleep, but
seeing her eyes open OWNED the truth She
called members of the family and they
quickly discovered that she was dead, her
death evidently having occurred but a short
while before.
The deceased had been a sufferer from
heart disease, and that was probably the
cause of her death. Coroner Hammett was

HAD TROUBLE WITH A Buzz-sAw.


A few nights ago. TO use a phrase coined
from the language Of the Senators. the buzz
zard played with the buzz-saw and was
considerably hurt. In other words. Senator
Chandler undertook to cauterize the gan
CREME on certain reputations and was
himself nayed for his trouble Senator Hill
took up the controversy and made chopping-
block OF the Senator from New Hampshire
The language used by both Senators was
neither dignifled nor iustifable. but it was
characteristic. and a fair representation Of the
coIloquies indulged in by these gentlemen.
Senator Hill is the Charles O'Malley of
the Senate. He is always ready for scrim-
mage and hits every head in sight. In poll
tics be is freebooter that knows neither
party nor principle, andhis views on public
questions are Kaleidoscope and peculiar.
So far. he has been thorn in the side Of the
Senate. His changeable moods and hur-
rlcane methods differ from the settled. anti
quated ways of that body. Were it not for
his really brilliant qualities he would long
since have been shelved. se-far as influence
is concerned. along with Senator PfeifTer.
On the other hand. Senator Chandler is an
orthordox in politics. His reputation as a
partisan is as rank as a growth of iimson
weed, and az the time of his dissolution he
will insist on another whaek at Democracy
before joining the angel host. In debate
Mr.. Chandler is as caustic as aqua fortis.
His words sting like nettles, and he readily
descends TO billingsgate. Even the wasplike
language of Senator Harris has heretofore
failed 10 puncture the hide Of the New
Hampshire Senator and until the advent OF
Senator Hin he has literally held the fort
In the senior Senator from New York he has
more than met his match.

THE LEAVES ARE FALLING.

The leaves are falling, hear you calling
From out the years that slumber in the past,
Asleep or waking my heart is breaking
For one sweet love that thrills it to the last
The leaves are sailing and I'm bewailing
The lost affections OF my vanished youth,
When friends were nearer and hearts were
dearer,
And life was in the heaven of their truth.
The leaves are flying, the winds are signing,
And Nature in her garD of green and gray
Makes many changes Ger hills and ranges
A bride of beauty in her autumn day
Along the hours in golden showers
The leaves are falling over hill and dale,
Their ranks are broken, yoiceless token
That we shall follow down the fading vale
And perish like the leaves blown by the gale
