FEW LAWS PASSED.
This Congress Hu Blockaded Nearly All
Legislation, Public mnd Private.
Washington, D. C, June 16. The
limited number of bills introdaced and
laws enacted by the present congresses
is almost without precedent. Up to to
day but eighty-five public measures have
been enacted into law and the private
laws are limited to the unprecedented
number of eighteen.
' The whole number of bills Introduced
in the house up to date is 7,453 which is
far below the average. Of these, 1,086
have been reported which is also far be
low the usual number at this date.
The falling off of bills, reports,
etc., has been so great that it has been
one of the main causes for recent whole
sale reduction of force in the government
printing office.
It is said that tiie former public print
er. Mr. Palmer, had established his force
with the expectation that the amount of
work to be done by this con crress would
keep pace with that of former congresses,
and that this in part accounts for the
large surplus of help Public Printer
Benedict found when he assumed charge.
The large falling oft in general legis
lation is attributed to the centering of
interest in the tariff and to the
depleted condition of the treasury.
Senators aDd members have known that
it was useless to pre9 bills for public
buildings and other appropriations in
view of the stringency at the treasury,
and they have refrained from introduc
ing or urging private measures.
At present there are 425 private bills
on the house calendar waiting a hearing,
which is ' in marked contrast with the
eighteen private measures which have
become laws. Owing to delays and ob
jections of various kinds only two pri
vate pension bills h;ive got through the
house and become laws.
The house calendar up to date is clear
of all appropriations bills, except the
deficiency an i the Indian, the latter be
ing about to pass. There were, however,
130 important general bills awaiting ap
pearing and eighty-five bills of a general
character not carrying an appropriation.
Of the more important measures lan
guishing on the house calendar are those
to admit New Mexico and Oklahoma to
statehood, to send a congressional com
mission to examine the Nicaragua canal
route, to finally adjudicate swamp land
grants, to permit pensions to non-residents,
to establish consular inspection of
immigants, to investigate the effect
of machinery on labor, to in
vestigate the wages of women
and children, to construct canals
from Lake Superior to the Mississippi
river and from Lake Erie to the Ohio
river to prohibit dealings in options, to
promote the efficiency of the naval mili
tia, to establish a uniform bankruptcy
system and to aid the southern cotton ex
position. Quite a number of these bills will get
a hearing, but the number interrupted
by adjournment will be exceptionally
large.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?
The Taking Down of McKlnlcy's X.in.
from the Masthead.
Columbus, O., June 16. Both wings of
the Republican party in this city are
greatly worked up over the action of the
State Journal in pulling down the flag
of William McKinley from its masthead.
"For President in 1896. William
McKinley of Ohio," no longer appears
in bold-face caps at the head of its edi
torial column, where it has shone like a
political beacon ever since the morning
following the election of 1893.
For some mysterious reason the star
of Napoleon, suddenly passed into an
eclipse. Whether it has been occulted
by Reed or Harrison is as yet uncertain.
The putting out of its light immediately
followed the elevation of Charles Foster
to the chairmanship of the Republican
etate convention, at which time a mys
terious conference was held between a
score of leading newspaper men, who
have since been prodding the McKinley
presidential boom with Parthian arrows
of sarcasm and thinly veiled ridicule.
A bitter and scathing review of the
governor's state administration has ap
peared in the Akron Beacon, and similar
sentiments are breaking out in the Re
publican press in all parts of the state
and where least expected.
BERNIIARDT'S NEW PLAY.
It Nam Is "Izeyl" and It Is Not Con
sidered Nice."
London, June 16. Sarah Bernhardt
will commence her season with "Izeyl,"
the four act "sacred drama" in versa by
Mme. Armand, Sylvestre and Moran,
which has had uninterrupted run of
eight performances at the Theatre de
La Renaissance in Paris.
The play passes in India at the time of
the coming of Buddha, with his new hu
manitarian go3peL "Izeyl" Is a courte
san, who tries in vain to win the new
prophet to her affection. The plot is one
which brings out every phase of Beru
hardt's talent,and from the actress' point
of view ia certainly the strongest in
which she has yet appeared.

Of Hood's Sarsapariila is that while it
purifies the blood and sends it coursing
through the veins full of richness and
health, it also imparts new life and vigor
to every function of the body. Hence
the expression so often heard: "Hood's
Sarsaparilla made a new person of me."
It overcomes that tired feeling so com
mon now.

Special Correspondence.
Washington, June 14. Personalities
go, even among the dignified gentlemen
who comprise our national congress.
In the senate particularly, as soon be
comes evident to a habitue of the gal
leries, each honorable gentleman has
his own private opinion of some of hi3
colleagues, which only the most power
ful sense of senatorial courtesy restrains
him from- uttering, and not always
then. It is snrprising, too, how differ
ent is the appearance of a body of men
when looked down on froirf above and
when seen on the same level by one of
themselves. The frequent visitor to the
gallery soon notes many little tricks of
manner in every senator, many little
peculiarites which are recognized at
sight, but cannot be described. There
ia a defect in our language in that par
ticular; there is a certain impression
which every man of marked, character
istics makes " upon us, for which we
have no words. We notice the peculiar
turn of Mr. Hoar'3 head when a Demo
crat rises to speak on the tariff, the
somewhat self conscious manner of Mr. ,
Mauderson, the way Air. Crice vaiks
down to his seat, and. the quite indivi
dual way in which Mr. Harris rises
and sifs down, but there is no language
to convey our impression to the distant
reader. Many things, however, of a
rather pointed in fact, critical nature
are commonly said about the capital,
and among them these: '
Noted and Quoted.
That certain senators show an ex
treme sensitiveness about their personal
history. One, for instance, begins his
biography with his admission to the bar
SENATOR BLAVCHARD.
and never alludes to his previous life
even in private conversation, not because
it is not highly honorable, but simply
that he desires to be known to the pub
lic only as a jurist and statesman.
That Mr. Martin, although he went
to Kansas in 1855 and was an official
of the first or so called "border ruffian"
legislature, never lost caste by reason
of it, has been popular from the start
with the other side, counts some of his
warmest friends among them, and as a
candidate has always run ahead of his
ticket. Kausaa men tell us that he is
the only one of "that set" of whom
this can be said.
That Mr. Blanchard took one stand
In the house to represent his district and
quite another in the senate to represent
his state and is proud of being able to
do it consistently.
That in the home city of Senator
Voorhees all distinctions in politics, re
ligion and social standing instantly dis
appear when any Terre Haute institu
tion is threatened, and, most of all, the
big distillery. "If," says an Indiana
man, "the Fairbanks party says, 'Ex
tend the bonded period for whisky,' it
must be done, though the Democratic
parry be busted."
That Mr. Lodge has had to contra
dict as senator several things that he
wrote as an author.
That Mr. Vest has never been out of
politics of some active kind since 1853
and was never once pulled down.
That Mr. Manderson is as suave,
hums as softly and is as smooth running
as a buzzsaw and quite as safe to fool
with.
That Mr. McPherson is the most care
less business man in congress, allowing
orders for $30,000 worth of sugar stock
to lie around his house like receipted
grocery bills.
That Mr. Roach of North Dakota is
the quietest man in either house, and no
body knows the reason, though it Is
charitably ascribed tp his natural mod
esty. That Mr. Harris is peculiarly sensi
tive about his age and will not let it be
known, but it is certain that he is 75
years old, for he had to state his age
when he was admitted to the bar in
1841. It is asseitod by some that ho
has never stated it since, but that is
probably an exaggeration.
That Mr. Bate is also sensitive on
that subject and never carries his rem
iniscences back of the time when he was
a private soldier in the Mexican war.
In the Heat of Debate.
These are little things, but they con
sole us as proof that great men have
their little oddities of character as well
as the rest of us. Of course all senators
speak good English, but in the heat of
debate one occasionally gets tangled in
a sentence, which would look very
funny in The Record. During the tariff
debate, when any particular schedule is
reached and the Democrat chiefly re
sponsible for it cornea forward in de
fense, the whole Republican side usual
ly joins in having fun -with him, but
none has been so hardly beset as the
Louisiana senators. It was known a
week in advance that the first decisive
test votes would come on the sugar
'
schedule, and so the galleries were fulL
and the tormentors on the Republican
side put in moet of their time for three
days in having fun with Messrs. Caff ery
and Blanchard. The latter seemed to
have lost much of that ready self pos
session he showed in the house, and in
his principal speech he mired in the
second paragraph - and got his persons
and tenses very oddly mixed Indeed.
After he had held it three days for re
vision it went into The Record thus:
"The senator from Rhode Island, Mr.
Aldrich, is, I believe, considered on
the other side of the chamber and con
sidered on this side of the chamber as
perhaps a better posted man as to tariff
matters than any other senator on that
Bide of the chamber, and considering his
reputation in that regard I was sur
prised at some of the statements of fact
which that senator made in his speech
on the floor of the senate today. I do
not mean the speech with which he last
entertained the senate, but the one pre
ceding the remarks submitted by my
colleague who last addressed the senate
on this side of the chamber. '
Somewhat Mixed.
Art emus Ward relates that when at
tending a war meeting where the speak
er got mixed he (Arteruus) rose and
ventured to "trust that the gentlemen
will not forget to say something about
the 'busy haunts of men. Mr. Blanch
ard was evidently determined to be
specific about the sides of the chamber.
'A little later he got mixed on the year
when Louisiana seceded and the date
on which the sugar crop for the preced
ing year should be calculated, but as
Messrs. Hoar and Aldrich were both on
him at once he must be excused, partic
ularly as he got it straight In The Rec
ord. The fact that the sugar crop was
calculated for the fiscal year and conse
quently not affected for 1861 by seces
sion was one which the New England
senators seemingly did not know, and
although Mr. Blanchard knew it they
got him in such a tormented state that
he could not tell it Even Senator Sher
man got mixed on the income tax at
least, it seemed so to the galleries
when he was aiming to show that it
was all right for the states. His posi
tion as well as that of Senator Hill is
thus summed up by a sarcastio Demo
crat: "The income tax is class legisla
tion, un-Democratic, un-American, un
just, socialistic and inquisitorial, revo
lutionary and diabolical; therefore it
should bo imposed by the states instead
of the general government. ' ' As the
girl said in camp meeting, "My jew
elry was dragging me down to helL so
I gave it to my sister."
The most attractive speaker on the
Democratic side, me judice, is Mr. Vest.
He certainly has no superior in a run
ning debate, and the way he holds his
own when it is evident that he is in the
wrong excited my special admiration.
His colleague, Mr. CockrelL is rather
more forcible than graceful Mr. Brice
is looked upon by the galleries as one
of the peculiar men of the senate. He
always comes in spick and span, with
hair beautifully curled and a red rose
in his buttonhole, his general getup re
minding one in' a vague way of an ad
vertising agent rather than a senator.
Of Mr. Allen, who is now "denounced"
as a Democrat, it has been said that he
ripens like a big russet apple (he some
what resembles one in features) that is,
getting better the longer he stays with
us. He has a clear voice, not unmusic
al, and certainly has improved in de
livery since entering the senate. Mr.
Hale also has a very clear and penetrat
ing voice, and with it gentility in ap
pearance and dignity of manner. Ho
speaks aggressively and drives every
point home. Mr. Frye is another ag
gressive speaker, somewhat more war
like than his colleague, while Mr. Man
derson has equal force and much suav
ity. Mr. Cullom has had little to say
in this long debate; but is a very influ
ential senator, and the same may be
said of several others who are rarely
heard from.
In the House.
In the house there was comparatively
little talent shown in debate after the
tariff bill passed until the discussion
began on the repeal of the state bank
tax, and tha brought out many able
members and was conducted on both
sides with very great ability and dig
nity. The defeat of the state bank party
was even more overwhelming than had
been anticipated, and in a full house the
adverse majority would certainly have
reached 90, as a great many absented
themselves to avoid voting. The decision
is admitted to be final, but has left
many hard feelings. The old heads told
us early in the session that many who
consented to the declaration in the Dem
ocratic platform would stave off the
vote if they could, but if cornered would
vote against the repeal, and so it turned
out. The present condition of the house
is so peculiar, what with strikes and
riots in all the mining regions and
members in a perfect fever over the po
litical results, that there is a great deal
of irritation, and some of the most genial
gentlemen on the floor are far from
pleasant in conversation. There is a
painful interest in all the inquiries be
ing made on labor questions, and Messrs.
McGann, Ryan and Pence are some
what in demand for information.
A Special Committee.
That the senate takes a very serious
view of it is seen by the fact that it
voted for a special committee without
regard to politics and with scaely a
hint at differences of opinion. From the
known character of the members of this
committee an experienced Washington
journalist might write both reports in
advance, for of course there will be
two and possibly three. The chairman,
Mr. Vilas, as everybody knows, ia an
advanced Democrat of the Cleveland
type, familiarly spoken of in Washing
ton as an unflinching 'cuckoo, ' ' and a
goldbug of the yellowest stripe. He
will, says a fellow senator, "join the
ether two Democrats in charging that
all the misery is due to Republican
misgovernxnent, and that not even a lit
tle bit of it is due to the scarcity of
money or the demonetization of silver."
