CONGRESS ADJOURNS. A GIFT OF $2,500,000 TO THE CHI CAGO EXPOSITION. The Total of Appropriations Foots Up 9507,000,000 as Against 9403,000,000 for the First .Session of the hast Con gress—The House II ilarlous at the Close. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Thesth of August, 1892, will bo rememl)ored as a red letter ilay in the annuls of legislation aud in the history of the country, as it chronicles ad journment of the first session of the Fifty second congress and the passage of the World's fair bill appropriating $2,500,000 for that enterprise. The passage of the bill was without special incident, as it was a foregone conclusion. One hour was devoted to debate, mid the final vote resulted: Yeas, 131; nays, 83. A substitute of Mr. De Armond, of Missouri, allowing the World's fair managers to coin bullion to the extent of $5,000,000 in souvenir coins, the seignor age to go to the management (estimated at $2,500,000) and the premium on the coin, was rejected. The house not then being in a mood to PASS any general bills took a recess until 7 o'clock in the evening. The Night Session. Expectation of an adjournment filled the galleries of the house at its night session, and the same reason brought an unusual at tendance of members. Promptly at 7 o'clock Speaker Crisp called the house to order aud soon after the Durborrow World's fair bill was reported from the senate. Mr. Jolley, of South Dakota, secured the passage of a senate measure regulating the time for holding sessions of the United States courts in South Dakota, and then the private calendar was taken up. After the passage of several of these bills Mr. Holinan, of Indiana, presented the re port of the conlerees on the sundry civil bill. Mr. Holman explained the nature of the agreement, detailing the items in dis pute and the compromises effected. He said the bill as finally agreed to carried $27,837,428, being $9,600,239 less than the bill as it passed the senate and $2,614,246 more than its aggregate when it passed the house. Concerning the Pinkerton detective clause of the bill Mr. Holman admitted that the amendment adopted by the bouse was a lit tle too broad, and that in the interest of a speedy adjournment the house con ferees were obliged to accept the substi tute submitted on the part of the senate. The <&ief stumbling block had been the amendment offered by Mr. O'Neill, of Mis souri, and adopted by the houso, but cut out of the bill by the senate, to prevent any officer of the government having the power to make contracts with any corporation, Arm or individual who employed Pinkerton detectives. After considerable discussion the conferees agreed to substitute for the amendmont the following proviso: "And no employee of the Pinkerton de tective agency or any similar agency shall be employed in any government service or by any officer of the District of Columbia." This relieved the application to government contractors. Mr. Simpson, of Kausas, denounced "the act of the representatives of the house in surrendering to the representatives of the plutocracy of the country." He culled the Pihkertofi employees "urmed thugs, rob bers and murderers." "You'll hear from this in the elections in thd fall," said Mr. Simpson, "and any one that votes for this amendment should be left at home. You should not surrender to the representatives of wealth." The Closing Scene In the House. Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, offered a resolution (which was adopted) providing for the appointment of a committee of three members to join a like committee of the senate in informing the president that con gress was ready to adjourn aud ask if he had any further communications to make. The speaker appointed Messrs. McMillin, Fellows and O'Neill as the committee. Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, reported that the committee appointed to join a committee of the senate and inform the sresident5 resident that congress was ready to ad ourn had performed its duty, and the pres ident had said that he had nothing further to communicate. It lacked five seconds of the eleventh hour when a dozen members shouted wildly for recognition, waving papers in their hands, but they were too late. Speaker Crisp announced that the hour of 11 o'clock had arrived, and bringing his gavel down on his desk with a bang, de olared the first sessiou of the Fifty-second congress adjourned without day. A great shout weut up from the members on the floor ; great bundles of waste paper were thrown high into the airggnd fell in flhowers on the happy congressmen, while from the press gallery came the deep res onance of the doxology. "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow" struck a responsive chord in the floor and gallery, gnd dignified old members stood at their desks amid the showers of falling paper and joined in the hymn. A great shout of applause went up at its conclusion, and the press gallery choir re sponded with some verses about Speaker Crisp and ex-Speaker Reed being jolly good follows, and concluded with a musical query of Congressman Watson as to what constituted a congressional jag. Then thero was handshaking and many goodbys, and in half an hour the house of representatives was deserted. Senate Freceedlngs. Pursuant to an order of the day before the Bcnate met at 2 o'clock. Some business of a routine nature was transacted, when an executive session was held. When the doors were reopened the World's fair bill appropriating $2,500,000 was submitted, read and without a division passed, although several senators emphatically protested against its passage. Another conference was ordered on tne pendiug sundry civil bill and a recess was taken until 8 o'clock. Promptly at 8 o'clock, in a sultry utmost phere with well filled galleries, but a very sparsely occupied floor, the vice president rapped the senate to order after the recess. Mr. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, attempt ed to obtain a reconsideration of the vote which tabled his resolution authorizing a subcommittee of the quadrocentonnial com mittee to go to Chicago and to employ a clerk, etc. Mr. Coke, of Texas, at first declared that if that motion was pressed he should ask a yea and nay vote upon it (thereby disclos ing the absence of a quorum), but on Mr. Pettigrew offering to strike out everything providing for the employment of a clerk or involving expense to the senate the resolu tion was allowed to pass. Mr. Call, of Florida, was emboldened by this incident to ask consideration of his Cuban investigation resolution which was likewise laid over the other day. He also had amended it by striking out everything relating to the employment of a clerk and stenographer, etc., and also had simplified It so that the resolution simply authorised I the committee to "report upon thecommer < cial conditions of Cuba and the West India islands and the United States." The sen ate, however, would not assent even to this modified resolution. It was 9:25 before Chief Clerk Towle, of the house, announced the house agreement ou the sundry civil bill. Mr. Allison, chairman of the senate com | mittee on appropriations, was immediately recognized by the vice president to present the senate conference report, which was received in silence and elicited no opposi tion and was unanimously agreed to. The Appropriations. Mr. Allison said the appropriations for the first session of the last congress were in round numbers $463,000,000; for this ses sion, $507,000,000, showing an increase of $4-1,000,000. The principal increase for the present session was found in the appropria tione for pensions nnil the postoffice depart ment. There were some diminutions, not ably in deficiencies, which were $5,000,000 loss this congress than two years ago, und in miscellaneous expenses. Not a single public building bill had been passed by this congress. He would not stop to make any observation on the appropria tion for pensions, as he knew of no criticism which had been made as to these on either side of the chamber. Nor need he allude to the fact that $8,000,000 additional had been appropriated for the postoffice service. This was made necessary by the growth of the country, aud still left many absolutely necessary for the conduct of the postoffice department unprovided for which would have to be met by deficiency appro priations at the next session. Mr. Allison disclaimed making these re marks in a partisan sense, and stated that the appropriation committee had not di vided on party lines. He admitted that the increased appropriations were made neces sary by the growth of the country. Mr. Gorman, of Maryland, a member of the committee on appropriations, character ized Mr. Allison's statement as fair and cor rect, but again earnestly called the atten tion of congress anil the country to the ne cessity of action on the part of both houses of congress and the executive to return to a more economical basis of fixed expendi ture. Adjournment. Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, said in his judg ment the house had done its best to keep down appropriations. That they had been larger than many expected he did not doubt. Mr. Allison at 10:25 reported the house I adjournment resolution, substituting for | Saturday, July 80, at 2 p. m., "Friday, Aug. 5, at 11 p. m." The resolution was t agreed to, and the customary committee of of two (Messrs. Allison and Gorman) was appointed to wait upon the president of the United States. Thanks were tendered the vice prosident and the vice president pro tem. (Mr. Man derson) by motions made by Democratic sonators. At 10:50 the senate committee reported that they had waited on the president and he had no further business to lay before congress. The vice president paid a fitting tribute j to the two sonators who had died during I the session (Messrs. Plumb and Barbour) appropriately acknowledged the vote of I und thanks and then declared the senate ad journed without day. THE TREASURE SAFE. That 9*40,000,000 in Gold Now Locked Up In Wall Street. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. —The undertaking 1 of the railway postal service to transport | safely $20,000,C00 in gold from the subtreus- ' ury in San Francisco to the subtreasury in j this city has been successfully accomplished, 1 the vast treasure now being locked up in the massive vaults in Wall street. The shipment was the largest of the kind ever attempted for anything like the dis tance involved, and the precautions taken for its safe transport were of an extraor dinary character, making robbery practi cally out of the question. The treasure cars themselves were of steel and supposed to be bomb proof. Half u hundred and more trusty guards were aboard the train, each armed to the teeth, aud arrangements had been made whereby the authorities of the postal service were informed by telegraph ! of the location of the train every quarter or half hour of the total time consumed in the .

Judge Rumsey Declares the Act to He Unconstitutional and Void. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Aug. 6.— Justice Wil liam Rumsey, of the supreme court, ren dered his decision in the case of the people ex rel. Charles F. Pond against the board of supervisors of Monroe county, involving the constitutionality of the act of the last legislature making a reapportionment of the senate and assombly districts of the state. The court holds that the law is un constitutional, and for that reason declines to issue a writ of mandamus requiring the board of supervisors to reapportion the as sembly districts of Monroe county us de clared by the act. Judge Rumsey cites many cases to show that the provisions of the constitution of the state of New York in regard to chang ing the organizations of districts are man datory and not discretionary, and says: It is by virtue of the constitutional provision that the apportionment act was passed, and the objections to it based upon these sections are: First—That the enumeration upon which it was based was taken in 1H93 and not a tenth after 1885. Second —That the extraordinary session at which the act was passed was not the session aftor the return of the enumeration within the constitutional provision. Third -That the apportionment is unconsti tutional because in estimating the uuinbor of inhabitants in the new senate districts the per : sons of color not taxed were included. Fourth-- That both senate and assembly ap- I portlomnents are unconstitutional because the the senate districts are grossly unequal in num ! ber of inhabitants, and the members of the assembly are not apportioned among the coun ties as nearly as may bo according to the num ber of citizen inhabitants, but that command of the constitution is ignored.

Governor Buchanan Commutes nis Sen tence to Imprisonment for Life. MEMPHIS, Aug. 10. —Colonel H. Clay King, who was to have been hanged on Friday next for the murder of Luwyor Poston in connection with tho scandal of Colonel King and the widow of General Pillow, has es caped the gallows. Governor Buchanan has commuted the death sentence to imprison ment for life. Houghton King, a son of the condemned, rccoived the glad tidings from a telegram sent by his mother, who has been in Nashville for the past week plead ing with the governor for the life of her husband. Houghton King immediately went to the county jail and gave the welcome news to his father. Colonel King did not seem to be affected by the intelligence. Strangely enough the first news of the commutation was received in this city by Frank Poston, the brothor of the murdered man, he receiving a telegram which ran as follows: "I have commuted King's sentence to im prisonment for life. J. B. BUCHANAN." Mr. Poston was terribly taken aback. The governor had allowed matters to pro ceed so far without giving any notice of his intentions that the Postons felt assured that the sentence would be carried out and their brother's murder avenged. Mr. Poston at once carried tho news to The Appeal-Avalanche office and expressed himself in a most bitter manner against the governor, saying at the same time that his action was a license to ovory man to buckle on his six shooter and go to killing his ene mies, with the assurance thut he would not bo hanged for it. When the news was heard on the streets Governor Buchanan was almost universally condemned as a weak sentimentalist, who hud allowed a woman's teal's and prayers to swerve him from his duty.
