In conclusion he promised that tho con-fere- s would make a further report in a very short time. Then Sherman interposed a motion for an executive session. The galleries were cleared and the doors chssed. It was a quarter to 11 o'clock when the doors were reopened. The clerk of tho house appeared at the bar with a message announcing that the house had agreed to the con-ference report on the general deficiency bill. Immediately afterwards Hale presented the same conference report to the senate anil moved its adoption. Stewart asked w hat disposition had I cen made of the amendment in dis-pute. Ho was informed by Halo that the house conferees were so lirm in their resistance to these amendments t hat it became a question of giving up the amendments or giving up tho bill, lu consideration mainly of the largo pensiou appropriation which the bill contained the senate conferees receded from the amendments and tho amend-ments arj now out of the bill. The re-port w as agreed to. Morgan applied to bo excused from further service on the committee of for-eig-relations. Hoar objected and said it would be with tho great regret of tho senate ami country that the distin-guished senator from Alabama would withdraw from that important com-mittee. The senate declined to accede the Central Pacific railroad for tho transportation of troops and the French spoliation claims; report adopted. Cogswell of Mississippi moved thai tho house recede from its disagreement to the French spoliation claims amend-ment. Butterworth of Ohio, opposed tho motion vigorously and attacked the proposition to pay tho claims, lie was frequently interrupted and tho house fell into a tumult. Tho motion was agreed to, US to 80. Dackery offered a resolution directing the house conferees to insist on the dis-agreement to the Pacific railroad items; adopted. Tho house insisted on tho disagree-ment to all remaiuing points iu dispute.

Tho resolution was agreed to, yeas l.Y,', nays 114. A strict party vote. The republicans immediately burst into a volley of cheers, which were re-doubled when Mills inquired whether this was a part of the funeral services. Cannon submitted tho report on tho mineral deficiency bill, and while he was explaining the report tho speaker resumed the chair. His appearance was the signal for a wild outburst on the republican side, papers ami records were thrown iu the air; handkerchiefs waved and for a few moments tho chamber rang with cheers. But throughout tho tumult tho speaker was calm and with a few vigorousstrokes of his gavel restored order. Brockenridge of Kentucky, rising, paid a tribute of respect to the chair-man of the committee on appropria-tions. (Mr. Cannon), and said, "on the lloor, in committee and in personal contact, .Mr. Cannon earned tho grat-itude of the gentlemen on the demo-cratic sido. Loud applause from both sides of tho chamber. The conference report on the defi-ciency bill was agreed to, thus dispos-ing of tho last of the general appropria-tion bills. Funstan of Kansas moved to suspend the rules and pass the senate bill for the erection of a public building at Kan-sas city. Kansas, to cost not less than $1.V),000. Ju speaking to this motion, Springer of Illinois congratulated the country that the era of trea-sury raids was now at a close. The republican sido had but fifty-liv- e min-utes in which to put its hand into the treasury and squander the people's money. The motion was lost, not se-curing a two-third- s vote. On motion of McKinlcy the speaker was authorized to appoint a committee of three to join with a committee ap-pointed by the senate to wait upon the president and in form him that the two houses were ready to adjourn, unless he hail some further communication to make to them. McKinlcy, I'ayson and Mills were ap-pointed as such a committee. Belden of New York, moved to sus-pend the rules and pass the bill for the relief of Henry S. Rhodes. Tho yeas and nays were ordered but interrupted by the 'speaker with the statement that in enrolling the agricultural bill, the appropriation of $1."0,000 for the relief destitute persons in the west had been inadvertantly ..retained. He therefore asked tinanirrVus consent for the pass-ing of the joiiil! resolution rectilyingthe mistake. Pickler of South Dakota objected, whereupon Kunston of Kansas vigor-ously exclaimed: "Shame on you, shame on you, you villain, you villain," but Pickler subsequently withdrew his ob-jection and the joint resolution was passed. Speaker Rend then rose and said: Aftr two lotiR and stormy In some repets unpuralleled la a hundred years tho house of representatives of the tifty-tlr-- 't s will soon pass with a completed record into the history of the country and its works will follow It.

When the I4(h of March broke upon the capitol I the corridors were almost deserted and ' tho galleries of both hoiisis well nigh tcnantless. The senate had taken a recess just before daylight until !) o'elovk and tho hall of the house was the nceno of litter and confusion. There was an unusually largo attend-ance of members but it was also an un-usually disorderly assembly. Tho speaker appeared to bo the most serene person in tho vast hall, saving certain representatives who tilted themselves back in t heir easy rhairs or had thruwn themselves upon the ample lounges and wero more or less advanced towards some slumber. 'J'ho sharp voice of the speaker rang out as clearly as ever, calling for order and in remonstrance with unruly members who sought to indulge in "horso play." As the day grew signs of life outside the hall of tho houses multiplied. Members who ha.f stolen off for tho night to their rot ins began to drop in quietly. The filiate doors were re-opened.

In the senate iorning. after the passage of the to supply artificial limbs to pensionvw every three years instead of every five years, the conference report of the bill for the reorganization of the artillery and infantry forces of the army was reported anil agreed to. Ilawlcy explained that tho report was merely for a change of organization and did not increase the army. The house bill to is.siio a commis-sion to Philip C. Johnson, as rear-admir-in the uavy and deliver it to his widow, was passed. A message from tho house proposing a further conference on tho legislative appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. At 4 a. m. Allbon returned to the chamber and presented the conference report on tho legislative bill, tho senate receding from the amendments as to senators, clerks and session committee clerks, leaving them still at per diem compensation. Tho report was then agreed to. Tho conference report on the de-ficiency bill was presented, Hale said nearly all the items in dispute had been arranged. Still unsettled wero the questions as to tho Pacific railroad claims; payments to widows of Chief Justice Waite and Justice Miller; tho French spoliation claims and the claims of states for moneys expended in the lute war and the war of 1'Jl. While the report was being discussed, Pascoe called attention to tho fact that there was a motion to reconsider the vote on the copyright bill and request the house to return the bill until the senate, bill had been signed by the speaker of the house and laid on the table of the t. He asked, pending action to .Morgan s request. On motion of Kdmunds a committee ot two senators was appoiuted to join a like committee on tho part of the botist to wait on tho president and inform him that congrtss was ready to ad-journ. Kdmuuds and Gorman were appointed on tho part of the senate. Hansom offered a resolution which was unanimously agreed to, tendering thanks to tho for the courteous, dignified ami able manner In w hich ho had presided over tho de-liberations of the senate, Tho house bill for tho protection of the lives of miners in tho territories was passed. A resolution was offered by Mitchell instructing the judiciary committee to inquire ami report as to tho date when the laws relating to Chinese restriction expire; whether in or 1WI4; also when the Chinese exclusion act of 1HSS shall expire. He explained that his object was to have new legislation on the subject before the existing laws ceased to operate; resolution agreed to. OAt Jialf past eleven, McPherson, clerk of tho house, presented tho senate de-ficiency bill, enrolled and signed by the speaker and it was immediately signed by tho and carried to the president. Allison asked and obtained leave to have printed iu the record a summary of the appropriations for this session. In the nature of the thing, he said, that statement could not be prepared in a few days. To a suggestion of Cockrcll's Allison gave reply that it would be a "lair, candid statement of tho situation, whatever it is" The manner as well as tho tone and language employed by Allison gave rise to laugh(ter among the democratic sen-ators. "I ktiw it will be .bad enough," Cockretadded, "but if it is fair and candid wie will be satisiod."- - Mr. E.fttxtndsj reported that tho com-mittee aApointed to wait upon the presi-dent iu conjunction with a similar com-mittee or the house, had waited on him and had informed him that tho two houses had coucluded thoir business and were ready to adjourn, and that the president had replied that ho had no further communication to make. He wished to tho president, senate and all its members a happy return to their homes and every felicity. Meanwhile t lie clerk of tho house had brought over a joint resolution just passed to correct an error iu tho enrollment of tho agricultural appro-priation bill. Tho joint resolution was passed, the last piece Of senate legisla-tion of the fii'ty-lirs- t congress but it was of no force or effect, for before it could be sent back to tho house that body had adjourned. When no other business remained to be transacted the arose and made his farewell speech. He said : I am admoniBhcd by the dial that the life of the lift c ingress Is ended and that the hour of separation an farewell has again ar-rived. The record is made up and has gone Into history. No one of us can be unmindful as we part of the fa--- that ail are not with us who answered to thn first roll-cal- l of this Tnree mem'.iers of this body, all taken irom one side of the cham'er, have answered tho last summons and g.'ne out forever fio.u the haunts of men.

I acknow.elgo wlih grateful the courtesy and kindness which. even in critical and complicated situations the mrmh'-r-of the scnite were accustomed to accord mi an the honor conferred by the resolution Just a.iopt'd in my absence from the chair. With the earnest hope that each memt et of this body may he blessed In every relation of life. on his motion, that the have his attention called to tho motion. The discussion, upon Pasco's motion to reconsider the vote agreeing to tho conference report on the copyright bill, occupied the attention of tho senate at intervals up to the hour of taking a re-cess. Pasco complained that notwith-standing his motion the bill had been hurried to the received tho signature aud was nw awaiting the president's. Meantime the conference report on the agricultural appropriation bill had been agreed to, and a partial conference report on the deficiency bill agreed to, a further conference being asked. At 0:15 a. in. the senate took a recess tilt 0 a. ni. Senate resumed its session at 9 a. ni. with tho in the chair, pascoe's motion made at the night ses-sion to reconsider the vote ngrceing to the conference report on the copyright bill and to recall the bill was defeated. A further conference report on the deficiency bill was presented and read. Stewart complained bitterly of tho action of the conferees in rejecting the amendment to reimburse California, Oregon and Nevada for expenses in supressing the rebellion, while provision was made in a bill for French spoliation claims, for which there was no judgement ot the courts. As soon ns he stopped speaking. Hale promised that the senate conferes on the deficiency bill would endeavor to secure as much as possible of action on I now declare the constitutional period of tho Fifty-firs- t congress as havin ' been completed and the rettate stands adjo. rned without day." There was a good deal of applause on the lloor and in the galleries at the conclusion of Morton's little speech which was at precisely 13 minutes past i. For the next half hour or so there were on the floor and in tho halls many hearty and probably sincere leavclak-ing- s of senators with each other aud with senata oflieials. HOUSE.

SOME SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES. The Government Guarantees the Payment of Interest on $0,500,000 of That Company's Stock. Ciii;o, March 4. A Montreal spe-cial says: The sensational disclosure was made last night from unquestion-able sources, that tho Canadian Pacilic is taking advantage of the predicament in which Sir John Maodotiald finds himself placed by the uncertainty of the outcome of tomorrow's elections and has found an admirable adjust-ment of the differences existing be-tween the railway and the govcrnmens. The government, it is slated, in re-turn for the assistance of tho railway company in the forthcoming elections, will abandon the $1,000,000 claim on the North Shore railway will continue permanently the government's guaran-tee of the Canadian IV'ilic railway slock, which expires in inn:) nnd will settle the claim of the company for if."), OUO.OdO in connection with tho Kam-loop- s or "Onderdonk" section of the Canadian l'aeitic railway in British Columbia.

Dis-gruntled and disgusted over the grant-ing of the lecp creek petition, the Her-ald cannot refrain from venting tho vile venom of its spleen in the most outrageous falsehoods, in an endeavor to prove that property here has depreciated. The facts aro these, on Dec. 5, 1880, Messrs.

The friends of poor Ed. Brim are to-day feeling very sad over his sudden death on yesterday afternoon. Butmoro particularly aro their hearts sore over tho unfortunate accident or careless-ness which hastened his death even if it was the direct cause of it A few days ago he was taken ill with that most dreaded of diseases, pneumo-nia, when his brother thinking to give him better treatment and nursing than he could otherwise secure, had him taken to tho hospital of the Holy Cross. It must have been sometime during Monday night that in his de-lirium he escaped tho vigil-ance of tho sisters nnd made his exit from the hospital, for a little after seven o'clock yesterday morning he was found completely exhausetd, and unconscious, hanging over a pate, on the corner of Sixth West and Second North streets. He was only clad in his night shirt, a pair of pantaloons and coat, but no vest. Hero is the peculiar incident in connection with his case: At about the same moment that thn delirious man was found in this position, Mr. Cermo, thn clerk at tho ("lift House, and his brother telephoned to tho hospital inquiring of his condition. The reply came back: "He is better this morn-incr- . The distance from the hospital to thn point where Brim was found is over twenty-one- , blocks, so that at the moment the message was re-ceived at the Clift he must have been absent from the instil ution for fully two hours as ho could not hsvn msdo the journey in less time in his weakened state. Mr. James Lynch found him and had him taken to the hospital, where he ex-pired at 1 o'clock, very generally re-gretted by those w ho knew hira. The announcement of his death appeared in the columns of last night's Timks. PRESIDENT WOODRUFF. The Keporti from IIU Itonme More Favor-able Today, Tidings from the sick chamber of the Gardo house wero more favorable to President Woodruff's comlition this afternoon. Careful attention has al-most succeeded in overcoming the bronchial trouble, and while he is yet feeble his strong will has served him as tho most potent of all panaceas. What-ever evidences there may be of possible gati itis they are not sufficient to justi-fy any serious alarm at this moment. His physician has been almost con-stantly iu attendance since Sunday night, at which time the situation e alarming. The reports of the president's illness that appeared exclu-sively in the columns of this journal notwithstanding the gravity and im-portance of the item, had tho effect of arousing considerable feeling through-out the city, and the result was that at au early hour this morning the wires wero again alive with inquiries from a score or more of sources. There is scarcely any reason for alarm at this hour. Wnvhlngton Not!. The senate yesterday passed 1C0 pen-sion bills iu a'little over an hour. The treasury department paid out nearly $10,000,000 in pensions yester-day. The senate confirmed the appoint-ment of Joseph Pinkham, to be United States marshal for Idaho. Tho senate finance committee was directed to ascertain and report the effect of the tariff law on trade, prices, wages, etc. Judge Beatty of Idado will not be confirmed at this session of congress, although the judiciary committee re-ported unanimously in his favor.

If it comes to a war between Kmper or William and Hismarck it will be war till the last weinerwurst expires. Omaha World-Herald- . Hismarck has earned the right to talk as much as he cares to, even if he does not always remember that the Emperor has tender cars f St. Paul Ulobc Prince Bismarck has declined anom inaliou for the reichstag. In that he probably shows his wisdom, because ha has a biting tongue which might get him into trouble were he a member. Rochester Herald. If reports are true as to the feelings of the (iprman emperor for Hismarck,. the instead of sending his papers over to Euglaodr-4ia- better have his anatomy shipped oiit of Ger 'T" many. New Orleans Delta. How Is this? Figaro says that th (lerman emperor proposes to briny Hismarck before a court martial, to which he is amenable, as he holds rank-- iu the army, and ask upon his honor whether he wrote certain articles attacking the government. If His marck has good sense he will refer the emperor to the managing editor. Kansas City Journal. It is scarcely to be believed that the kaiser is serious in his announced in-tention of bringing Prineo Hismarck to a court martial for objectionable talk. In American parlance it is more than possible that he isonly making a bold and characteristically sensational bluff'. Young emperors, even when strong willed, can sco limitations to their power. Troy Times. Tho European correspondents novr toll us that the young Emperor William is bent upon getting a rap at Hismarck by making friends with l rance. In so doing William would not only combat the whoso chief stock iu trade was his consistent hatred of Frauce, but would prove to an admir-ing world that ho is a statesman of the broadest gunge. Hume Sentinel. It is this complete reversal of his pol-icy that has made the Prince angry and has driven him to such extremes in de-fiance of the law. Hut the emperor's success has been so satisfactory to him-self, his people and the other nations of Europe that ho can afford to let tho wreck himself and ruin tha great structure of his reputation as a statesman. Memphis Commercial. The (lerman government will not prosecute Kismark for his sharp criti-cism. As Chancellor von Caprivi has said. "His personality, associated as it is with the creation of the edifice of the empire, places him above measures that might be taken toward less illustrious men." This is sound sense. What a strange spectacle that would be of the founder of tho (lerman empire being prosecuted in his old ago by its chief, The famous words of Cardinal Wolsey must have at this time a peculiar inter-est for Hismarck.
