BUSY DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Euormous Amount Of Business Transacted
in the Closing Hours.

Enormous Amount Of Business Transacted
in the Closing Hours.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-An enor-
nous amount of business was transacted
by the house during the day IN order
to clear the desks for final adjournment
The absence of Mr.. KEN permitted
members to pass bills in the closing
hours in which they were vitality in
terested. There was great clamor for
recognition. Fifty-three bills and joint
resolutions were passed, the most i'm.
portant of which, probably, was the
bill appropriating 5000, 900 for the trans
mississippi exposition at Omaha. Mr.
Allen of Mississippi, the wit of the
house, enlivened the day with hu-
morous speech. Chairman Cannon Of
the appropriations committee made a
gallant fight to induce the house to
Stand Out Against the Senate
public building items in the sundry
civil bill, but the members outvoted
him-1O0 to SO. After the conference
report on the District of Columbia bill,
containing its compromise on sectarian
charities had been presented, Mr.. Cam
non precipitated a heated discussion Of
the political situation, in which Mr..
Dockery Dem., Mo- and Mr.. Dingley
(Rep., Me- participated. The work of
the session was elaborately reviewed,
criticised and defended. The confer
ence report on the District of Columbia
bill was adopted. The senate resolution
for final adjournment at 4 p. III. was
passed. The house held brief session
at 0 80 to enable the speaker to sign the
enrolled bills.

Senator Thurston Starts the New Jersey
Mans Vice Presidential Boom.
ST. LOUIS, June u.-Senator Thurs
ton, member of the Republican national
committee from Nebraska, and delegate
to the convention, was among the early
arrivals. He appeared at the breakfast
table wearing the first presidential and
vice presidential badge which has yet
been displayed by any Of the Republican
leaders. 1t bore the faces of Mckinley
and Hobart of New Jersey.
'It is pretty well understood" said
the senator, "that I am for Mckinley
for first place. With his nomination
assured, as it is," the senator continued,
tive want an Eastern man as his run
ming mate, and ! believe Hobart to be
the available man. He meets the re-
quirements of the situation in all re-
spects. We want to keep New Jersey
in the Republican ranks, now that we
have it there. Furthermore Hobart is
strong in New York, where he is per.
sonally well known and much
esteemed"

AGREEMENT REACHED
Senate and House Settle Diff
ferences in Pending Appro-
priation Bills.
Last of the Measures Agreed
to and an Hour Set for
Adjournment.
Enormous Amount of Business
Transacted in Order to
Clear Desks.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Congress has
settled its differences and by a joint
resolution fixed 4 p. m. as the end Of the
session. The agreement came late in
the day just as the prospects for ad-
journment were beginning to look dark,
with both houses threatening to hold
out all summer before either would
yield a point to the other, with bare
quorum responding to the roll calls and
with final fare of partisan political
recriminations.
The victory, if there be one, rests
with the senate, for its dozen amend
ments to the sundry civil bill making
were accepted gracefully by the house,
while house leaders still insisted upon
the prerogative of their body to origi.
nate appropriations. Both factions to
the contest over government aid to
church institutions claimed to have
prevailed in the compromise Of the Dis
trict of Columbia bill which continued
for one more year the disbursals to
church charitable institutions.

CONTEMPT OF COURT BILL
Senator Hills Measure Passes the Senate
without Division.

without Division.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE senate
has disposed of the last of the appropri-
alton bills and has fixed p. m. as the
time for final adjournment. After be.
ing in session throughout the day a
night session was determined upon in
order to adjust the many minor differ
ences between the two houses.
A number of bills were passed during
the day including the bill giving trial
by jury and other safeguards in prose-
cution for contempt of court. The
measure has been vigorously urged by
the labor interests, particularly railroad
employees. The bill as passed continues
the power of summary punishment
when an offense is committed in the
immediate presence of a judge, but in
indirect contempts, such as violation of
an injunction, the bill provides that
the accused shall be given full hear
ing with opportunities to summon wit
nesses and offer a defense. Senators
Hill and PETER supported the bill and
Mr.. Platt opposed it as revolutionizing
the judicial system.

Threatened Invasion of Her
Products a Menace to Our
Manufactures.
Cost Of Labor There Would Be
Starvation Wages for Amer
lean Workmen.
Result of investigation Of the
House Ways and Means
Committee.


Dingley of the house ways and means
committee has made report on the
menace to American manufacturers by
the threatened invasion of the cheap
products of Orientol labor and upon the
effect of the difference of exchange be-
tween gold standard and silver standard
countries upon United States manufac-
turing and agriculture, these questions
having been investigated by the COM
mittee. The report says the sudden
awakening of Japan from the Oriental
slumber of centuries is being followed
by an equally rapid Westernizing of her
methods of industry. The Japanese
standard of living would be regarded as
practical starvation by the workmen of
the United States and hours of labor
average r2 day. Such skilled work
men as blacksmiths, carpenters, masons,
compositors, tailors and plasterers re-
ceive in Japanese cities only from 26 to
83 cents, and factory operatives from
Five to Twenty Cents Per Day
in our money and nearly double. those
sums in japanese silver money, while
farm hands receive $1.44 per month.
Europeans and Americans, says Mr.
Dingley, are recognizing the profitable
| field afforded for investments and fac
tories and adds:
while your committee have not
found that any articles Of Importance
made by the factory methods in Japan,
outside of cheap silks, handkerchiefs,
NATIONS, etc, have as yet invaded
the markets of the United States. 1t is
probable that the rapid introduction of
machinery into Japan will within few
years make Japan and its factory prod
ucts, and probably fine cOttons, silks
and other articles in which the labor
cost here is an important element in
production, more serious competitor
in our markets than the products OF
Great Britain, France and Germany
have BEEN"
The Committees Recommendation.
The committee reports that it knows
no remedy outside of the absolute pro-
hibition enforced against convict labor
goods, except the imposition of duties
on competing goods equivalent to tie
difference of cost and distribution. An
argument for this policy is made, it be-
ing said to accomplish double purpose,
the collection of revenue to support the
government and the placing of competi-
ton in our markets on the basis of our
higher wages. This is said to be not
for the benefit of the manufacturers in
this country, for the manufacturer has
only to go to England or Japan to place
himself on the same basis as he is placed
here under duties on competing imports
equivalent to the difference of wages
here and there, but to secure to all the
benefits which come from home rather
than foreign production.

WASHINGTON, June l0.-The senate
subcommittee of the finance committee
designated to conduct an investigation

begin its work after the adjournment of
congress, and to admit the press to it's
sessions. It's first mind was to hold
secret meetings, but that idea has been
definitely abandoned. Secretary of the
Treasury Carlisle has prepared a state
ment for the committee, in compliance
with its request, but it is probable that
he will also appear in person to answer
questions. - -

/
There has been no general conference
among them, however, and will not be
until the arrival of Senators Teller,
Dubois, Cannon and others, who are
not expected until the latter part of this
week or the first of next.
Believed but Few VIII Bolt.
It is gathered from those who are al
ready here that the disposition to bolt
the convention is confined to but very
few. One of the most prominent of the
silver delegates said that the men from
the West felt that they had been elected
4 by Republican constituencies to meet in
convention to secure all they could for
silver, but that they were not authorized
to bolt If they found themselves in q
minority, and that the more they con-
ferred the more general was the opinion
that they should stand by the Republi-
can organization.
Among the representatives from the
West, the name of M. III. De Young,
member of the national committee from
California and strong advocate of free
silver, is already being urged in connec-
ton with the nomination for the vice
presidency. When Mr.. De Young was
asked for an expression of his views
i as to
he said: "The delegates from the sill
yer states are very determined in their
desire to advance the interests of silver.
They want free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to /. Some of them are very
radical and talk about leaving the con-
vention in case they fail to have their
views adopted. This action will not be
general.
"The silver men, especially of Colo
RADIO, Montana and other states, where
silver is an important factor, think that
II Teller would be nominated by the
Democratic party in Chicago there
would be no question of his endorse
ment by the two conventions that meet
In st. Louis on July %. If Teller is
nominated by these three parties my
private opinion is that he will come
very near being elected"
