President Cleveland's last Sunday in
the executive. mansion. was a rather
busy one. There are a large number of
bills which have passed congress on
his table awaiting his action and he
spent some time in an examination of
their provisions. He remained in doors
all day. There are a number Of bills,
all of them said to be of minor i'm
portance, which have become laws
without his signature. But four days
more remain for the Fifty fourth con-
way for it's successor The close Of the
session promises no sensational Incl
dents, for only routine business is pos
sible.
AS usual the house awaits the end
with a clean slate 1t has finished
its work on the big appropriation bills
with which the senate is now strug-
Cling.
In the upper house these four days
will be full Of work. Indeed, 1t Is still
uncertain whether the senate will be
able to dispose of the bills by noon on
Thursday next. There are four of the
big appropriation measures to be voted
on. OF these, the naval bill and that
making appropriations for the District
OF Columbia may cause prolonged de-
bate. The other two, Notifications and
general deficiency bills. will go through
without trouble Meanwhile, the house
will sit merely to receive and act upon
conference reports, with probably night
sessions Tuesday and Wednesday. 1t
Will take skillful generalship, but the
senate leaders believe they will have
the slate clear on Thursday.

Signature.

senate found it useless to discuss that
proposition. One feature Of the SeS-
sion's record worthy of note is the
great number of private pension bills
passed, many Of them placing the
widows of officers on the pension rolls
at ratings ranging from $50 to SIS a
month. Private claims and war claims,
on the other hand, have been few. Sew
era1 of the pension bills were vetoed
by President Cleveland, but congress
enacted some of these despite the veto
by the necessary twO-thirds majority.
Several important bills are in the hands
or the president, awaiting his action,
foremost among them the immigration
bill, which establishes an educational
test for immigrants and bars out
laborers who maintain their homes in
other countries The anti-scalping bill
may be submitted to the executive for
his action within two or three days,
and since Senator Chandler has given
notice that he will move that the SEN
ate accept the house amendments to
the bill authorizing the president to
cali an international monetary con-
ference, it is likely that President
Cleveland will be given an opportunity
to sign his name to that. The bill for
the reorganization Of the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad company is also on the
presidents desk.
One act written upon the statute
books this session is noteworthy as be-
ing the work practically of one man.
That Is the act to reduce the cases in
which the penalty Of death may be in
flicted, movement to which Gen. Cur
tis, OF New York, has devoted the best
efforts of his congressional career. The
abolition Of the death penalty has been
a long cherished enthusiasm with Gen.
Curtis; now, after years of agitation of
the subject, he has succeeded in eras-
ing from the statute books all United
States laws imposing the death penalty
for other crimes than murder. rape,
treason or piracy, and endowed turies
with the power to stipulate whether or
not capital punishment shall be inflict-
ed for these crimes. An agitation by
dramatists, composers and theatrical
managers has resulted in securing a
law fixing heavy penalties for public
performances of copyrighted dramatic
or musical compositions and empower
ing all United States circuit courts to

Sanguilly Grateful to Lee.
On His Way to Washington to Take Place of Honor in
the Inaugural Parade.

KEY WEST, Fla, 28.-Gen. Julio
Sanguilly has arrived from Havana
by the steamship Mascotte He was
at first indisposed to say anything
further than what would express his
lasting gratitude to Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee, whom he described as
a truly noble American, and a man who
should long ago have been in Cuba.
Had he been there three years ago -
Gen. Sanguilly exclaimed, there would
have been less shedding Of American
blood"
He was very much agitated as he eX-
pressed his feeling toward Consul Cen
eral Lee. Asked how he was treated
during his confinement, he begged
earnestly not to be compelled to detail
his experience during the last two
years. Why" said he, Il have not
been allowed to read one solitary news
paper except those published on the
island. When l heard Of the death
of brave Gen. Maceo, it almost made
me collapse, not because 1 thought the
death of any one man would check the
progress of the Cuban cause, but be-
cause L knew that the butcher Weyler
would not be recalled as Spain would
try to pacify the people by pointing
to Maceo's death as a great victory

Speaking Of his plans for the future.
Gen. Sanguilly said: Il do not know
them myself, but I am now going to
Washington to attend the inaugural
parade, having been invited by the old
veteran boys to parade with them. I
nave been given a place of honor in
the parade. After that, I shall go to
New York to see my brother who has
worked so faithfully for my release"
Gen. Sanguilly's wife was equally
loud in her praise Of Consul General
Lee. He is the best of men," she
said. Also noble and firm in his con-
victions, and true. To him we owe the
final release of my dear husband, who

about a cession Of hostilities. Senior

Must Withdraw.
Cretans Will Not Lay Down Arms.
Declare They Will Accept No Solution of the Question
Which Does Not Provide for Union With
Greece-Fighting on the Island
Continues.

LONDON, Feb 28.-It is stated here
tonight that there is good authority
for believing that the result of the con-
ferences between the representatives
of the great powers at Constantinople
and Athens will be the presentation of
collective notes to Turkey and Greece
tomorrow.
Greece will be allowed four days to
recall her land and sea forces from
Crete 1t is reported from Canea that
several insurgent leaders have sent to
Vice Admiral Canevaro, of the Italian
fleet, a signed declaration that the
Cretans will accept no solution of the
pending question but political union
with Greece. Fighting continues be-
tween the insurgents and Mussulmans
near Retimo and elsewhere The Chris
tians besieged the Turkish garrison in
the blockhouse at Malata for several
days. Today a body Of Turkish regu-
lars and irregulars left Canea with a.
convoy to revictual the bIockhouse.
The insurgents attacked the column
and killed several of the escort, where
upon the Turkish battleship Fuad
opened fire upon the insurgents with
shells and continued the firing until
stopped by order Of the foreign ad-
mirals. The convoy was finally COM
PEELED to retire.
The latest advices from Canea report
that fighting between the besieged
garrison and the Cretans continues.
The villages of Trikalaria and Nero
kouro, in the same district, have been
it is reported, burned by the Bashiba-
zouks. Fighting continues also outside
Gambia. The Christians have repulsed
the Turks.
Dispatches from Athens state that a
number of Cretan deputies, headed bv
the bishop of Retimo. have presented
King George with memorial which
states in effect that autonomy, instead
of pacifying the island, will only pave
the way for another revolution later on,
and still further endanger the peace of
Europe; and that, therefore the Gre
tans are resolved to continue the strug-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Speaker
Reed and the other Republican leaders
of the house entered upon the final
session of theFifty- fourth congress with
the avowed determination that no legis-
lation which compelled great expendi-
lures of public money should be enact
ed during the session. They felt COM
PEELED to adopt this policy because of
the condition of the treasury, and they
have generally adhered to it, although
the regular appropriation bills for the
support of the government have
brought the total appropriations OF
this congress far beyond the billion-dol
lar mark, breaking the record of for
nler congresses. Many Of the appro-
priations were necessary to continue
works authorized by other congresses.
No public buildings have been started
by this congress and no new battle
ships or vessels of any description, al
though the creation of a new navy,
begun several years ago, has by no
means been abandoned.
The intention of the leaders was to
cOnfine the work so far as possible to
the appropriation bills, and they have
been successful in living up to their
policy.
THE LAST WEEK
of the session begins with several of
the appropriation bills not yet passed
by the senate. Much of the time of that
body has been consumed in the discus
sion Of the Cuban question, which the
house has dealt with only incidental
ly. Necessarily the policy of the house
to avoid new legislation which involv-
ed expenditures has been enforced
upon the senate. The Nicaragua canal

length in the senate, but not voted on,
