THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY. JULY 9. 1898. LAST HOURS OF 55TH CONGRESS Senate Closed Quietly, but ttie (louse Had a Lively Session. Mil. CANNON AND Mil. HAM IN DULGE IN HARD WORDB AND ARE WITH DIFFICULTY RESTRAINED KIIOM GETTING TOGETHER-MEMBERS JOIN IRRESPECTIVE OF PARTY IN CHEERING FOR M'KlN LEY, DEWEY, SCHLEY, SAMPSON, HOI160N AND JOE WHEELER. Washington, July 8. In a manner ro simple ns to be almost perfunctory the senate at 2.08 o'clock this afternoon adjourned without day. None of the dramutlc nnd exciting scenes usually attendant upon the ad journment of congress was enacted during the closing hours of the sen ate's session. It had been agreed, when the senate convened at noon, that the house resolution providing for the adjournment of congress at 2 p. m. today should bo adopted and un ex ecutive session should bo held to con firm the nominations in the military and naval establishments. No other business except of the merest routine nature, was to bo transacted. The ar rangement was carried out to the let ter. For nearly nn hour previous to ad journment, President McKIriley and all tho members of his cabinet, except Secretaries Duy and Long, were In the president's room, adjoining the senate chamber. During that time the presi dent signed a largo number of en grossed bills, many of which would have failed had it been necessary to send them to tho executive mansion for his signature. LIVELY HOUSE SESSION. The end of this session of congress In the house was marked by two no- table Incidents. One was sensational ly partisan, well nigh resulting In per sonal conflict upon tho floor of tho house. Tho scene followed a motion of Mr. Handy (Dem., Del.) to strike from the record portions of partisan re marks of Mr. Ray (Rep., N. V.) In a speech made yesterday. Handy con tended that Ray had not made the re marks which appear on tho record. Hay In reply declared he had uttered every word. Members clung to the hope of get ting their bills through In tho remain ing hour of the session nnd desired to have the Ray-Handy Incident closed. The house became excited and Cannon (Rep., 111.) denounced tho Democrats for delaying legislation. A vote was taken and the house declined to strike out the speech. Handy then called for division and demanded tellers. Cannon stepped into the aisle and again declared the Democrats were deliberately obstructing business. Ball (Dem., Tex.) addressing the Republican side, declared: "The record Is false and you knew It was a false when you voted against correcting It." "That is a lie," cried Mr. Cannon, and In an Instant the beligcrent mem bers were struggling to reach each other, wlille many others were pulling and struggling to control them. Tho house was UDon its feet. Mr. Marsh (Rep., 111.) seized Mr. Cannon and thrust him aside, and when Mr. Ball asked Mr. Cannon to "come outside" and the latter was moving to comply, Mr. Lewis (Dem., "Wash.) took charge of the Illinois member and restrained him. Meantime the speaker had been pounding hard nnd the sergcant-at-arms, Mr. Russell, had seized the big silver mace and was moving among the member where the greatest dis order prevailed. Order was restored slowly and a roll call proceeded. PEACE RESTORED. The roll call upon Mr. Handy's mo tion to strike out, resulted: Yeas, SO: nays, 106. Later In the session Mr. Cannon exdalned that Mr. Ball had addressed his remarks not to him per sonally and, therefore, he desired to withdraw his offensive statement. The house then passed the bill to re imburse the states for expenses In curred In transporting, feeding, cloth ing and caring for soldiers in aid of organization of the volunteer army. Tho second Incident referred to was r much more agreeable one. In the latter all members Joined, Irrespective of party affiliations. Upon the an nouncement of the adjournment of the house there were cheers followed by singing of patriotic songs. Representa tive Bromwell, of Ohio, proposed three cheers for President McKinley, which were given twlre over. Then followed cheers, Joined by the entire house, for Admiral Dewey, Schley. Sampson, Hob son and General Joe Wheeler. The whole house was one vast dem onstration and flags were passed about to every member and were enthusias tically waved while the members sang the close of the Fifty-fifth congress. TRAITOR TOSSED OUT. A Government Employe Who Cursed Nclile y far W inning. Baltimore, Md July 8. The first case on record of tho dismissal of n government employo for disloyalty nnd "the utterance of traitorous sentiments IsTthat of .Frank "Wlckham.. whom Col lector' of Customs Stone, of this city, today removed from the position of foreman of the custodians' force. Col lector Stone Investigated the charges against him. the accused being pres ent at the Investigation. It vat proved, says Mr. 'Stone, that .Wllckham had been guilty of cursing Ihe American naval forces at Santiago, had cursed Commodore Schley, and Bald that he was sorry the Spaniards had been defeated. He also talked In an unpatriotic manner nbout tho na tional flags displayed in tho collector's office. Mr. Stone considered the offense of sufllclent gravity to warrant Wick ham's removal, and promptly took that 'action. He sent n full report of the .case to the treasury department, ask ing that his decision be approved. The story of Wlckham's removal nnd the reasoas which led to It caused somo . thing of a sensation In the custom house, and wns n subject of general talk among the employes there. Tho action of the collector was generally - approved by both Democrats and Re publicans. Though tie dismissed man fs a Democrat, nearly nil the witnesses agalhsthim were members of the same party. nRE GRIDLEVS ASHES ARRIVE. Ilruiislu from 1 lie Orient In an Urn tor V, III Mile.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say tomorrow: Tho usual half yearly stntcment of failures by branches of business Is peculiarly Interesting because It shows that war and fears of war have not caused Increase In commercial disas ters. The fiscal year has ended with financial results a shade beyond gen eral expectations and the new war tax begins to increase revenue, not se riously disturbing business In any line. No reason yet nppears to appre hend that tho war revenue will fall below expectations. The cotton crop looks better nnd the prospect Is reflected In a decline of a sixteenth In the spot price. Tho man ufacturing works at the north are quite well employed more than usual during the vacation season nnd the demand for goods Is somewhat im proving. Abroad tho state of the manufacture does not encourage hopes of an extraordinary demand for tho raw material while the stocks held by millers are known to be unusually large. The south Is Increasing the manufacture rapidly and not entirely In place of northern mills. There Is no dlshcartenment In other textile manufactures and business Is good and growing In silks, bagging, hemp pro ducts und linen. The manufacture of wool hesitates, although distinctly better demand has appeared during the past ten days, because prices at which western wool Is held are too high for eastern markets nnd anpar ently too high for profitable manufac ture. Sales for the week at the three chief markets have been only 3,200.000 pounds, of which 2,200,500 were domes-' tic, against 14,120,500 last year, of which 6.939,500 were domestic. It Is not enough to dismiss the Iron Indus try with the bold statement that it Is using up more Iron, even at the slow est point of tho year than ever before. It Is getting bigger domestic contracts for agricultural implements nnd car materials and nlso for structural work, than In any previous year, but espec ially for plates, the demand for which quite over runs the cnpaclty of all the works and not mainly on govern ment account. Nevertheless the de mand has not pushed prices of mater ial upward for this Is the waiting and fighting period, and tho products of pig and billets have yet some prob lems to settle between themselves. Meanwhile no fall In prices appears, but a better demand for products with every expectation that within two weeks the producing capacity of the works will bo much more fully em ployed than It has been for six months. Failures for tho week have been 229 In tho United States, against 206 last year. BASE BALL. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Philadelphia, 5: Boston, 0. Pittsburg. 14 Louisville. 3. New York, 6; Brooklyn, 2.

Tho stock market today was dull, thouuh tho volume of transactions Bomtwhut exceeded that of yesterday. There were still no marked evidences of outside business and the list was by no means a broad one, though many recently Inactive Blocks were brought forward into the uctlve list. There was, however, a steady and quiet absorption of tho standard rullload stocks without ostentatious effort to ad vanco prices. The Vnnderbllts were con spicuous ns was the case yesterday nnd the buying especially of New York Cen tral was large nnd confident. Pennsyl vania also advanced sharply and the buying was rather more conspicuous than Is usual for this stock In the New York market. Tho coalers were un exception to tho strength from the start, not only on tho general depression known to exist In tho nnthraclto trade, but nleo on re ports of deep cuts In the selling price of coal and on prospects of a conflict of lutes. In the linal hour tho bears raid ed tho roalcrs with the purpose of unset tling the advancing tendency In the mar ket. Prices In the group crumbled away without much resistance, Reading Unit preferred losing over 1 points. New Jer sey Central 3 points nnd Dalaware and Hudson 2. This foimldnhle break In prices had little effect In the general list, scarcely any stock losing over half nnd a part of this was lecovered before the clcse, which wns remarkably firm In ficc of the slump In the coalers.
