dent Cleveland pressing a button in
| the White House, which will illumi-

| travel through a coil of wire 10000
| feet in length attached to the Tyre in
the hall and this coil is to be clipped
| into small pieces. mounted on dainty

| inc Lohse- K1afsky, fest prima donna,

OF the army of singers who will take

| mentS were escorted to the headquar-
ters assigned them. A telegram was

WILL ADJOURN This WEEK.
CONGRESS WILL ACT SPEEDILY
ON APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Lodge Will Try to Call Up the Immi-
grafton Bill for Action
To-day.

WASHINGTON, June 7-Unless all
signs fail, Congress will adjourn this
week, and those in touch with the bus
mess of both houses appear to agree
that that result may be secured by
wednesday. Still, conditions are such
that hitch may occur at any moment,
which would protract the session for
another week. This, however, while a
possible contingency, is not expected.
The business of the Senate depends
entirely upon the headway made with
conference reports. Several of the ap-
preparation bills are to be disposed of
as follows: Indian bill, on which the
House refused to act favorably at the
conference agreed to in the Senate; the
Postofflce bill, the report on which was
agreed to in the House on Saturday.
and will be accepted by the Senate to-
morrow; the naval bill, which will
doubtless be disposed of speedily to-
morrow morning, as the conferrees
have already formulated a compromise
which they believe will be acceptable
to both houses; the sundry civil bill.
upon which the House and Senate seem
to be deadlocked over the appropria-
tiOns for the public buildings inserted
by the Senate, and the District bill.
numerous items of which are still in
dispute.
1t is confidently expected, however.
that all of these will be out of the way
within the next forty-eight hours.
The new deficiency bill which passed
the House Saturday will be rushed
through the Senate tomorrow with
all possible speed, it being the inten-
ton of the committee to move to Law
on the table any amendments that may
be offered, so that the bill will pass as
it comes from the House This motion
to lay on the table is the only motion
the Senate has, under the rules to cut
ali debate, and it will be appealed to
literally when this measure comes up.
The immigration bill is the unfin-
ished business, and Lodge will call it
up tomorrow for consideration, if an
opening presents itself. Hill. who is
in charge of the contempt of court bill.
a piece of legislation growing out of the
Debs case, is also anxious for con-
sideration and may lock horns with
Lodge for the right of way. Gear will
seek to fix a day during the next ses-
sion when the Pacific Railroad funding
Acts shall be taken up. In this he may
succeed, as both friends and opponents
believe that this subject should be
settled one way or the other All OF
these and other matters that NAV
come before the Senate will tend 10
make the next few days exceedingly
busy ones, and If Allen, Chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations, car
ries out his viciously expressed inten-
tion Of not reporting the adjournment
resolution until all the appropriation
bills have gone TO the President, there
may be ample time to discuss several
things upon which Senators desire to
speak. The course of business is there
fore uncertain and tthe forecast is
largely conjectural.

A FLAT DENIAL.
The United Press Not Responsible
for Libelous Report.

NEW YORK, June THE manage
ment of the United Press has noticed
that the Chicago Associated Press news
papers which have been sued for libel
by Tindal Palmer and have printed re-
fractions invariably refer to the alleged
libel as having been furnished by the
United Press.
The item to which Mr.. Palmer takes
exception was originally printed in the
Philadelphia Times" a reliable news
paper, from which it was taken and
used by both the United Press and the
Associated Press, the Times" at the
time being member of the Philadelphia
Associated Press. The United Press
had nothing to do with originating the
Objectionable report, simply acting as a
common carrier. 1t was in no way re-
sponsible for the story itself and the
persistent attempts of certain news
papers to create the impression that if
was are Intentionally and deliberately
misleading.

UNPRECEDENTED FLOOD.
General Hovoc i'm the Southern Black
Hills Country.

HOT SPRINGS IS. d. June THE
southern Black Hills country was Wis
tied with a flood yesterday, the like of
which has never been known. The Elk
horn track between Smithwick and
Fairburn was so badly damaged that
it is thought it Will take a week to re-
pair it. In some places the track has
been swept off the roadbed and twisted
up into fragments. The telegraph poles
and wires are swept away for half a
mile at a stretch in places and general
havoc and ruin has been wrought all
along the line Of the road. The Chey-
enne River is running over the top Of
the bridge at the railroad crossing and
unless a transfer is made via Crawford
to the Il. and NJ. it will be several days
before mail and passenger traffic is
resumed. Superintendent Harris and
men are working like Trojans to get
things Strengthened out, but little can
be done until the waters recede.
