A RESOLUTION TO MEET
ONLY TWICE A WEEK.
The Republican Policy is to Wait on
the Senate's Action on the
Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The House
to-day, by a strict party vote, all the
Repu blicans favoring and all the Dem
ocras and Populists opposing, adopted
a resolution providing that the House
meet only on Mondays and Thursdays
until otherwise ordered 1t was an
nounced to be the Republican policy to
wait on the Senates action on the
tariff bill
Bailey CD of Texas made strong
but unsuccessful fight to have the or
der modified so as to give early and
full consideration to the bankruptcy
bill.
The Republicans replied that they
would call up the bankruptcy bill and
hold daily sessions ON it after General
Henderson's return, but until then the
rule should stand.
After the adjournment rule had been
adopted in the House Barlow Cd Of
California asked for consideration of
his resolution calling on the Secretary
of War Ito communicate to the House
at the earliest date practicable what
if anything, had been done toward
building a harbor of refuge and COM
merce at San Pedro, Cal, as provided
for by law, and if nothing had been
done, why the law had not been carried
out and how soon bids will be invited
for the prosecution of said work, as
contemplated in the statute making the
appropriations therefor
Barlow was proceeding to explain
with some heat that the Secretary had
refused a personal request for this in
formation, to which Barlow thought
himself entitled, when several Repub-
licans objected.
At Dingley's suggestion the resolution
was withdrawn for examination.
Then as Dingley was about to move
to adjourn, King Cd of Utah be-
sought him to delay that he might ask
for immediate consideration of reso-
luton which he was waving in his
hand.
What is the resolution" Dingley in
quired.
For the annexation of Hawaii" was
the reply, Whereat the House broke into
shout Of laughter, and Immediately
at 2:O3 p. m. adjourned until Monday,
shutting off the resolution, which au-
thorized that the territory be received
into the United States whenever coded
by Hawaii. Congress is given authority
to make laws for the islands 1t is
specially declared that Chinese shall

AN AERIAL VOYAGER.
Prof. Barnard Takes Trip in His New
AirShip.

NASHVILLE, May 6.-To-day at the
Centennial Exposition grounds Pro-
fessor Arthur Barnard, physical in
structor of the Young Mems Associa-
ton of Nashville, began journey in an
airship constructed by himself The
officials of the exposition and the peo-
pie attending the exposition witnessed
the ascent of the aerial voyager.
The ship moved off in perfect order
and passed out of sight in a few min
utes. Professor Barnard promised to
sail against the wind after arising into
the air, and he did SO. The airship is
forty-six feet long and twenty feet in
diameter.
Mr.. Barnard, who returned with his
airship tonight, says that he has a
machine which will fly under ordinary
conditions. He said tonight that it was
not perfect, nor could it be perfectly
controlled, but he believed he could
perfect it so that its course would be
controlled.
After disappearing from view this
morning the ship circled around, the
navigator hoping to meet with a ia
vorable current. At last the ship be-
gan to sail to the west, and went. Mr.
Barnard says, as far as Watkins, a viii
lage fifteen miles west of the city,
where it turned, and when four miles
from Nashville the gas in the balloon
attachment began to give out He
then sought a safe place to descend
and came down easily. When aloft a
sudden gust broke one of the spans of
the ship. No other damage was done
The time he was aloft was one and
a half hours. He was returning along
the line of the outward flight when he
was compelled to land.

Nothing Sensational Developed at
Yesterdays Session of the Trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Nothing
sensational was developed during to-
days session of the trial involving part
of the estate of the late James G.. Fair.
The legal wrangling over the order in

direct examination of Clerk Stanford of
Crockers Printing House, by whose
evidence the plaintiff seeks to establish
the fact that the Notarial certificate
used on the Craven deeds We're not

Fairs alleged acknowledgment.
