NO PARTY MEASURES.
Present Session of Congress
Did Little Except Pass APP

Makeup Of the Senate Pre-
vented Tariff or Finan-
cial Legislation.
Adjournment Before the End
Of the Week Now Seems
a Possibility.

: WASHINGTON, June S.--If, as now
seems probable, the first session of the
Fifty fourth congress adjourns this
week, it will be the shortest so-called
"long session" since that of the Thirty
fifth congress and one of the shortest in
the history Of the government. This
record is probably partly due to the po.
htical difference between the senate,
house and president, which has fore.
stalled agreements on lines of legisla-
tion. and partly to the discrimination
with which the Republican leaders in
the house have carried into effect
Speaker Reeds caucus prediction that
the congress would be a do.nothing
assemblage. Foremost among the in
evitable and regular acts of congress
are the
Annual Appropriation Bills
for the support CT the government.
Their preparation has constituted a
large part of the work of the session.
OF tariff and financial legislation this
congress has accomplished none. With
scant margin of free silver votes in
the senate, and with majority of
nearly two to one against silver in the
house, it was evident from the begin
ming that no general policy could be
agreed upon The two bills framed by
the house ways and means committee,
one for the issue of short term popular
loan and of certificates of indebtedness,
the other to increase the rates of tariff
schedules on wool, manufactures Of
wool and other articles, were killed in

Senate May Be Unable to Conclude It's
Work This Week.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-Whether the
senate shall be able to conclude the
work of the session this week will prob
ably depend upon whether quorum
can be maintained Some senators are
opposed to the passage of the New gen.
eral deficiency bill with the French
spoliation claims and the store and sup
ply claims allowed under the Bowman
act omitted. Senator Harris makes no
secret Of his intention to demand the
restoration of these items to the bill,
and says that he will not consent to its
passage without them, except upon an
aye and nay vote. If he insists upon
this,
A Voting Quorum Will Be Necessary.
Several senators have announced their
purpose of leaving the city early in the
week and many others will depart
about the middle of the week for St.
Louis. Under these circumstances 1t is
possible that adjournment may be post
poned until after the Republican con-
vention, though there will be very
general effort to prevent this.
The other appropriation bills which
have not been finally disposed of are
the Indian, the District of Columbia,
the sundry civil, the naval and the post
office.

spot nearly peck of shells and gravel.
In other places in this suburb small fish
and turtles were found in large num-

California Iheater.

Tonight at the California Theater the
public win see the last performance of
Chauncey Olcott's prosperous engagement
at that popular theater. The bill for to-
night will be 1.-The Minstrel of Clare, -. the
same that has been entertaining audiences
during the past week at that well-known
playhouse. The performance is one that
offers an unusual amount of enjoyment
for lovers of this class of drama.
After closure of two weeks, beginning
with tomorrow night the California The
ater will offer a decidedly novel and sue
cessful melodramatic production, "On the
Bowery," which will bring out as the CEN
traI figure of many exciting and thrilling
incidents the famous Steve Brodie Be-
sides doing that it sets forth an exciting
sensational story and contains a number
OF most amusing character studies.
Some of the scenes are not only very
handsome but also quite different in de-
scription from any ever shown with any
other play. The saloon scene is unique
by reason of the peculiar decorations of
Brodie's place on the Bowery. The Brook
lyn bridge scene is novelty. The spec-
tator seems to look along 800 feet of a
northern driveway. This effect was OBJ
tanned by the scenic artist, John H.

The Columbia Theater.

''The Social Trust will have its first
production on any stage at the Columbia
Theater tomorrow evening. 1.-The Social
Trust is new play written es pecially for
the Frawley Company by the two we'll
known authors, Hillary Bell and Ramsay
Morris. 1t is comedy drama, the story
of which is founded upon the incidents
connected with the famous Cordage Trust.
The play will have the advantage of inter-
pretation at the hands of the Frawley
Company, including Wilton Lackaye,
Mrs. Thorndyke Boucicault, Miss Blanche
L. Bates and all of the important mem
bers of the Frawley Company, including
the temperance of T. Daniel Frawley
himself. For this production special
scenery and stage effects have been got
up, and it is not unlikely that following
the present engagement the play will be
taken to New York City for run.
The drama is replete with incidents.
The main spring of action is the marriage
of Frederick Brewster to Lii liam Cornell.
He is New Yorker of social posi-.
tiop and is the head of the Cordage Trust.
He married Lillian because it is necessary
to raise money to carry on his schemes,
although he is in love with Mrs. Hallock,
wife of the originator of the Cordage Trust,
and Lillian is in love with Charters King,
young auLQOT. l. ne marriage Is T6puRnanL
to Lillian, of course. Brewster's financial
schemes fail and he tries to blackmail his
wife. He has already risked her dowry.
There are striking scenes following
which include quarrel between
the husband and wife over the
refusal of the latter to attend Mrs. Hal
locks ball. The last act occurs in Brew
ster's library, ct l A NJ, directly after the
ball. 1t shows his frantic endeavors to
force money from Mrs. Morton, his wife's
aunt through an attempt at blackmailing
his wife's character. Mrs. Morton stands
firm, refusing to believe i'll of Lillian. Mrs.
Nelson, the one person who can sustain
his charge, and who knows that Lillian is
innocent, although she unwittingly fell
into the trap laid for her, is dragged
into the scene. After much diplomatic
hedging and equivocating she finally,
when pinned down, utters deliberate lie
and saves Lillian. Almost at the same mo-
ment Hallock discovers note written by
his wife to Brewster, and mad with jeal-
ousy and rage he shoots the latter dead.

At the Orpheum.

Another great bill of vaudeville stars and
novelties is announced at the Orpheum
for this week. 1t is some time since ma
gician has been seen in the Orpheum or in
the City, for that matter. One of the most
clever of such on the vaudeville stage has
been secured. Albini was seen here years
ago and was counted as exceptionally
clever at that time. He has just COM
pleted tour of the world and he returns
loaded with para phernalia, ideas and won
ders. Mr.. Albini is the inventor of all the
tricks that he performs Newspapers and
magazines have given a great deal of
space TO accounts of the mysteries of In
dia, oceultism, hypnotism and the mar
vels of magic. Albini devotes his time to
the marvels of magic and East Indian
mysteries and gives most pleasing enter
tainment.
Richard PItrot, an excellent mimic, will
appear in lmpersonations. He is wonder
full facial artist. 1t is expected that he
will make even bigger hit this time at
the Orpheum than he did a few years ago
at the Bush-street Gheater. Miss Nellie
Mcguire will appear in character songs.
Favor IL Sinclair, who made such a hit asst
week, have some new things to tell and
sing about. Mr.. Favor will, however, con-
tinue to sing "Girl Wanted" the song
that has won him so many encores. The
bill will also include Mildred Howard the
Trilby dancer; Sydney de Gray, Herr
Techow's trained cats, the Nelson Sisters
and others, including Biondi, who remains
for one week more, but this will positively
be his last appearance in this City. He
has been one of the greatest drawing cards
that the Orpheum has ever had. The new
Wein-Stube opens this week, and promises
to be popular as an annex to the Orpheum.

At the Baldwin.

The second and last week of "The Gay
Parisians" is announced at the Baldwin.
The hit the farce made can best be told by
the enormous business it did and it looks
as if the second week will be fully as large.
The company is a remarkably good one
and reflects credit upon Manager Charles
Frohman. w. ]. Ferguson, who made
ali impression long while since as Nor
timer, the valet in ''Beau Brnmmell," is
always comedian of the first considera-
ton. In this play he is the gay Partisan
who takes the other mans pretty wife out
for the evening. His conception of the
character of the man, momentarily
prompted to do something risky in spite OF
his own inclination to be henpecked, to
roll back twenty years of the past, eradi-
cate his wife, who Is an old bore, and
make g night of it, does not suggest
caricature, as is usual, but real bit of
amusing human nature. Mr.. Ferguson
keeps the humor of the situations nicely
balanced between comedy and farce and
his playing is very enjoyable throughout.
As the wife, the personal attractions of
such player as Sadie Martinot are in
keeping. Miss Martinot is well fitted to
appear at the head of such clever COM
pany of comedy artists. Her husband is
forcibly presented by Charles Wells. The
character of an old widower, who shutters
whenever the weather is damp, and who
besides has four young daughter dangling
about him, is enacted by a capital
personator of eccentric parts, James Bar
rows, who should be recalled in the char
acter of the old sergeant in Shenandoah"
In his way Mr.. Barrows is quite as finished
a comedian as Mr. ferguson. He con-
tributes great deal of humor to several
situations in this play. 1t is he who holds
the clew to all the omplications that seem
about to be revealed at the final climax;
but a thunderstorm gives hlm impedi-
ment Of speech at the critical moment.
This is neat bit of invention on the part
OF the playwrights. Mrs. e. ]. Phillips
does some excellent work as the wife of the
advice-giver. Margaret Gordon plays the
French servant with captivating chic,
and as matter of fact, there Is not a
badly played character in the entire piece.
The last performance of "The Gay Pari-
slams" will be given next Sunday night.
August 80.
