THE LONG SESSION IS ENDED.
Both Houses OF the Fifty-sevsnth Con-
gress Adjourned Tuesday Evening NJ
$3.50 O'Clock-The Closing scenes.

Washington, July 2.-Both houses
Of the Fifty-seventh congress adj
journed at $3.50 Tuesday evening.
When the senate convened Tuesday
at II o'clock, for what appeared to
be the closing session of this term
Of the Fifty-seventh congress, there
were no indications of the exciting
scenes of Monday. Mr.. Bailey (Tex.)
entered the chamber from the demo.
cratic cloak room soon after the in.
vocation had been pronounced and
took his seat on the democratic side.
Mr.. Beveridge did not appear in the
senate in the early part Of the ses-
sion.
Mr.. Lodge, chairman of the commit
tee on Philippines, called up the con-
ference report on the bill to provide
for temporary civil government
for the Philippine islands. The agree
ment of the conferees, which already
had been published was read in full
and it was adopted by n strict party
vote.
The conferees on the naval appro-
priation bill agreed on compromise
on the disputed items as to building
warships in the government yards,
specifically providing that one battle
ship shall be constructed in n gov
eminent yard.
The house, which adjourned Mon
day night at II o'clock, met at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning. The chap
lain in his invocation prayed that all
the members might return in good
health to resume their duties in De-
cember. Immediately after the ap-
proval of the journal scramble for
recognition began. Members with
small bills of interest to their con-
stituency were exceedingly anxious
to secure action upon them. and a
dozen of them were almost constant
ly on their feet clamoring for oppor-
tunity to call them up.
The ways and means committee OF
the house met at two o'clock and Or
dered Chairman Payne to report the
adjournment resolution for $3.50 p.
m, although this was not done with
out a sharp political division. Repre-
sentative Richardson, of Tennessee,
the ranking democrat, moved an
allowing one week to
consider trust legislation. This was
defeated by a party vote.

BODY SERVANT WINS CASE.
Wyatt Ryans, q St Louis Negro. Secures
Judgment for Taking Care OF His
Former Employer.

St. Louis, July 2.-Final Judgment
has been rendered by the court of
appeals at Jefferson City, whereby
Wyatt Ryans, the old negro body SER
want of the late DR.. Charles II. Brad
ford, comes into possession of 1888.
The claim of Ryans against the es-
tate of DR.. Bradford has been in the
courts for several years. When it
was begun it attracted a great deal
of attention by reason of the peculiar
circumstances surrounding the case.
DR.. Bradford had been an invalid for
several years before his death and
required the services of body SER
want. No regular wages were paid
Ryans, who sued after his employers
death with the result just mentioned.

The Circulation.
HEAVY RAINS IN KANSAS.
Damage Being Done to the Crops-Much
Harvested Wheat In Pottawatomie
County Under Water.

Topeka, Kan, July 2.-The ex-
cessive rains are doing much damage
to the crops Of Kansas. In Potta-
watomie county over 700 acres OF
harvested wheat are under water.
The water reaches almost to the
top of the shocks of wheat and much
of the cereal will be destroyed be-
fore the water recedes. The rain
throughout the eastern portion OF
the state early yesterday morning
amounted to almost cloudburst.
Corn and other crops are making a
good growth, but the fields are so
wet that they cannot be cultivated,
and the crop will therefore not make
nearly SO much as was indicated by
the prospects two weeks ago. There
seems no immediate prospect of re-
lief from the wet spell.

Charles Francis Adams, in re-
cent address at the University of Chi
cago, proposed the erection by the
national government to Gen. Robert
T.. Lee. He would have it located in
Washington. He pointed out that,
while Lee was a rebel, the same thing
was true of Cromwell and Washing
ton. The English people, he said, had
so far overcome their aversion for
Cromwell as to give him a monument;
and he argued that the American
people ought to be equally mag
unanimous toward the memory of
Lee.

be sure, but it is 92,5Oo,OOo miles

There is a wide difference of opin-
ion regarding the actual wages OF
the striking anthracite miner. The
nominal wages as figured by the OPP
orator vary from $50 to SIS a month.
The actual wages as figured by the
miner vary from $50 to $Ss month.
This difference is due to the fact
that the operator figures on the
basis of full time, while the fact is
that the, miner rarely makes full
time. The report Of the Pennsyl-
vania bureau of mines for 1899 shows
that the average wages Of the miner
for that year was $2SS.

WENT AWAY HUFF.
Commander of the Atlanta Thought
Himself Insulted.

New York, March 12.-Much comment
is taking place here over an incident in
the recent maneuvres off Mar Del
Plata, says a Buenos Ayres dispatch to
the Herald.
The United States cruiser Atlanta
saluted President Roca of Argentine,
but the Argentine vessels did not re-
turn the salute because according to
international etiquette the chief execu-
tive officer of the state does not reply
directly by salvos, but sends an Off
Ger to express his thanks to the COM
mander of the foreign vessel
No officer could approach the United
States cruiser, which was continually
moving around. The Argentine officials
waited short time to fulfill the duty
of returning the courtesy, but the At
lanta without stopping sailed north
ward. 1t is believed that the COM
mander of the Atlanta was vexed be-
cause the Argentine vessels did not re-
turn the salute.

SUIT OVER KEITH TRACT
Administrator of Keith Estate
Wants 1t Sold.

Suit has been filed in the United
States circuit court here by James
Neville, administrators of the estate of
Morren c. Keith of Platte City, Neb-,
to secure an order from the judge of the
court for the sale of the property known
at the Keith tract, Immediately east of
the suburb of Potwin.
The case is complicated one and has
been in the courts for years. Mr.. Ne
Vile makes Eugene S. Quinton, Abram
Bergan, Thomas L. Ross, Mrs. E. s.
Poindexter and II. A. Hodgins, defend
ants to the suit
The bill of complaint sets forth that
there existed a contract between Nor
rell c. Keith and Eugene Quinton to sell
the property and the owner was to re-
ceive the first 900 from the proceeds
OF the sale and two-thirds of all over
$50, 600, the remainder to go to the agent,
ton.
The contract specifies that a sale can
not be made without the consent of all
parties to the contract. 1t is said E. S.
QuintOn wanted to make the sale of the
property while Mr.. Keith was yet alive
and when the property was worth about
100000, but that since the death of Mr..
kieth and the property has deprecated
in value, Mr. Quinton refuses to consent
to the sale for the reason that it will
probably leave him without remunera-
ton for the reason that the property in
all probability will not sell for more
than 100000.
Mr.. Neville will go before the court to
show that under those circumstances
Mr.. Quinton may keep the property tied
up indefinitely and will ask for an order
for the sale of the property. The late
Mr. .Kieth expressed it as his wish in
his last will that the property should
be disposed of to satisfy the claims
against the Keith estate
The case nrOniSPS n he long 61a zVT1
out and will probably be fought in the
courts for several wears.
