Both Houses Eope to BE Through With

WASHINGTON, June 4.-There is now
hardly any doubt that the senate will
agree to the house resolution to adjourn
the session Wednesday. The passage
of the last of the appropriation bills.
which was accom- piished SATURDAY.,
leaves no obstacle in the way Of final
adjournment, except the amendments
to those bills by the senate, and the
opinion is now almost universal that
these differences can be adjusted and
all the business Of the session concluded
by the time named. In the house there
is nothing on the horizon which threat.
ems to prevent final adjournment on
Wednesday.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers Of The EN-
oU1RER may begin with the following in.
stallment of this story, and understand II
lust the same as though they had read II
all from the beginning, we here give a
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Tom Broxton comes to Broxton Hall
from college, having been summoned to
his father, who is dying. Mr.. Matthews,
Toms guardian, passing Mother Spill
mans cottage, drops bag OF papers. The
next morning Matthews comes to look for
one of the papers which have been lost.
He does not find it, but Jimmy Martin, a
gardener, soon after brings it to Mother
Spillman, She pledges Martin to secrecy
and hides the paper in the back of an old
chair. Tom Broxton visits the room IN
which his father lies, finds some flowers
on an easel and among them an untin-
ished letter from his father to himself.
Through ground glass doors he sees fig,,
ure tampering with the papers contained
in his fathers desk. Before he can enter
the room the figure disappears. Approach
ing his fathers body lying in his coffin,
Tom looks for seal ring worn on the fin-
ger, but it is not there.

Congressman Cummings of New York, Gets
Applause Both Ways.
During the discussion of the Porto
Rico bill last Tuesday, Mr.. Cummings,
of New York, threw the house into
fever of excitement. He described
how he believed it to be the duty of
every man in crisis to raise above
party and support the government as
be had done during the Spanish war.
II believe now we should follow the
lead of the president" said he, en-
phatically, "aud I will vote for this
bill"
This statement electrified the house.
The Republicans, without waiting
for him to finish his sentence, rose en-
masse and cheered, while the Demo
Gratis sat stunned and dazed. Mr..
Cummings stood with arms upraised
until the Republican applause ceased.
81 will vote for this BILL" he con-
he continued, "provided it is amend
ed in accordance with the. advice of
the president for absolute free trade
with Porto Rico"
1t was now the turn of the Demo-
Gratis to cheer, and for several minutes
they made the rafters ring.
