Washingtox, I) —The action ot tlie House in passing the international copyright 1, bill today is agreeably regarded. Such a measure com mends itself to the majority of honest peo ple everywhere. The provisions of the, bill are very broad and liberal. With such a law on the statute books, a better class of books reprinted from abroad will be put on tlie market, and one branch of Jack .Shepard literature will be suppressed. The course of the Senate in taking up the Force bill by a strict party vote indicates that the Uepublieans are united, at least on the question of imme diately considering that measure. It looks, too. as if they mean to pass the hill if they can. Mr. Hoar is in charge of it for his side, while the opposition is being led by- Mr. Corman. One Democratic hope is based upon the plan of holding out the sil ver coinage measure as a glittering bait to the far West Senators, who take a livelier interest in silver than they do in election measures. A smart member of the I louse said today that the Senate would pass the Force bill by substitute, and tiiat tlie House would then pro ceed to emasculate tlie substitute. He did not live a reason for the faith that was in him, but he is a man whose judg ment is good on all political matters. Senator crats toda opposition to the Lodge inquity. Judge Turpie is a great man and only lacks a voice to express himself. With that tie would be tlie foremost man in Congress. TOBACCO WORKS BURNED. TWO t -1KKMKN KII.I.KI) AN!) SKVERAL I ITU KItS INJURED. Detroit, Midi., December 3.—Tlie fine cut department of the Scat-ten Tobacco Works was destroyed by tire early this morning. It. was valued at $100,000. The stock was also a total loss, hut its value is unknown. Two firemen were killed and two others were injured. Tlie snow ren dered it difficult for the engine to reach the iiiv.

Nashville, Tenn., December 3.—A Birmingham special says: 'The striking coal miners were yesterday joined by nearly all the men who were at work Mon day. and all the miners are idle except where convicts arc at work and negro miners have been secured. At the Bloc- ton mines, where 2,00(1 men were em ployed, the conservative element tried to net all the men to return to work yester day. but failed, and those who worked Monday went out. $.000 miners are now idle, and the indications are that the strug gle w ill bo a bitter one.

The suppression of the colored vote in tin* South was the thing manifestly in question, affirmed on one side and denied on the other, but the suppression of the colored voter of the North was a thing without a question, actual, absolute, uncon ditional. The supremacy of the white race was not peculiar to any portion of the United States. South Carolina was not more completely under its sway than was Pennsylvania. Its supremacy was not one whit more firmly established in Texas and Arkansas than in Illinois and Ohio. Much might be said of the injustice of this su premacy. It was easy to write and print aphorisms, even to give them tlie shape of legislative formulas, that all citizens are equal. Political rights as between races might be granted, de fined and decreed, but political equities could only be adjusted by action. That action was everywhere wanting. It was everywhere withheld. The supremacy of the white race, had not been brought about by force or fear. It had not been wrested or seized from others, but. it had been given, granted, voluntarily ceded to those deemed for the time most worthy of its pos session. Especially tiie man of the White House, who sought to embroil the white and black races for purposes he could not conceal and dare not avow, was guilty of ail outrage ten-fold greater than any of these lie invented or described. The solu tion of tlie race problem was a process, not as abstract speculation, but of real experi ence.

Nashvili.r, Tenn., December 3.—A Chattanooga, Tenn., special to the Ameri can says: The Chattanooga Lumber and Manufacturing Company have made an assignment to Heorge II. fowl for the benefit of its creditors. The amount of in debtedness is supposed to be about $40,000. 'The schedule of assets foots up $14,000. The company was recently organized with J. S. Anthony, of Boston, as president, and, it is said, $25,000 was put in by New England capitalists, allowing the same sum for the plant of the old organization.

New Youk, December 3.—Futures opened unchanged on near and 2 points advance on la e months, closing steady at 7 to S points advance from yesterday's closing prices. There was quite a buoyant market during the morning hours. Tin* Liverpool market was 2 points better at the close, and tlie receipts at American ports were estimated at a compara tively low figure. These influences j caused the hoars much uneasiness, j and a rush to cover contracts was the consequence, and a smart advance fol lowed. Soon after the second call tin re j was some selling to realize, and for a time j the demand scarcely equalled the offerings. Still tiie close was well up to the best ! prices of tiie day.

Wil cox in this city yesterday removes another martial figure and hero of the late war. He was attached to Eongstreet’s staff and was a noted artillerist. He held some humble government place at the time of his demise. PERSONAL MENTION. Messrs. Grimes, Stewart and Carlton, have not reported for duty up to date.

Washington, December 3.—In present ing a petition for an amendment to the tariff bill in relation to the rebate on man ufactured tobacco, Allison said that tin* conferees on the part of both houses had agreed to that section of the tariff bill, as the conference report would disclose, but it had been omitted in the enrollment, lie had no doubt the matter would receive early attention. Cullom introduced a hill to reduce letter postage to one cent, which was referred. Call offered a resolution directing the Superintendant of the Libor Bureau tore- port as to the extent of the phosphate in dustry of Florida, the number of laborers I employed and the opportunities for cm- ] ployment of labor in the future del ment of that industry. i Plumb suggested that the enquiry should ! extend to all States containing phosphate deposits. Call assented to the suggestion, but th resolution went over until tomorrow. A long and interesting discussion took j place on the. subject of the threatened In dian war. apropos of a joint resolution to issue arms to the States of North and South Dakota and Nebraska, Voorhees | having charged the situation to the fact of j the Indians being starved and being re- | plied :o by Dawes and Pierce. T’ne debate was interrupted at 2 o'clock by the election bill coining up as unfin ished business. Hoar, in charge of the bill, said that, in view of tiie fact that in reporting tlie bill at the close of the last j session he had addressed the Senate upon j j it, he would now forego any opening of | j the debate, but would content himself j j with answering whatever objection should be made to the bill on the Democratic side of the chamber.

The returns of the election showed an abstinence from voting. A11 abstinence much greater in Massa- ■ ehusetts and other northern States than . elsewhere. The extremes, w : tli meagre majority, in both houses said that this was | proof enough of the suppression of the colored vote, and thereupon proceeds to ! revolutionize the whole method of con- I gressional elections. There has been sup- sotne must command and others must obey, this problem was being solved. The purposes of the national election bill, so- called, was, so far as related to the South, to wreck and destroy this pending condition of inter social adjustment. It proposed not to maintain the will of the majority but to overthrow it on the single issue of race, to make much of black men because they are black, and to establish gents ot complexion, not of opinion. The kernel and purpose of the pending bill was that the law of the land must be subordi nated to set enmity between tlie white man and the black man. The bill was not artfully framed. Its only art, was its absolute malignity. I’ass this bill, and the right of the people to choose their representatives, that right so precious and priceless to every lover of liberty, was lost—lost beyond recovery and recall. lie then proceeded to make a con stitutional argument against the power of Congress to pass a law regulating the elec tion of Representatives in the lower House of Congress; that having this power itself it could not delegate it to a Federal elec tion board. These boards would be a screen behind which tlie lowest forms of fraud and wrong would be practiced with impunity. Its effect on the colored constituency of the South would be most unfortunate. The negroes, stripped of all motive for further sell ex ertion, would become perpetual pensioners on the national treasury Facile and venal representatives would be ready for any as sault on the public coffers, taxes would he levied on the labor of tlie white men and women of tlie North for the support of negro constituencies, who, abandoning every thought of selt-improve- | ment, would idly wait for their annual date. The South had had for a period of years a rest, it had made great industrial pro- I gress ami invited Northern capital. This | had been the result of the re-establishment of the normal ascendancy of the white race. Should this bill become a law, the investor would find in many places in the South no dividends or income, but chilled furnaces, idle mills and smoking ruins. The future would intone a malediction exceedingly rare and vehement against certain men of our day, who would betray their own race, recreant to their kindred and lineage, beings of perdition, doomed to a reproach who h would darken in infamy as the past re ceded until time, grown weary of such fell remembrances, should cast their miscreant names a prey to the dumb forgetfulness of oblivion. At the conclusion of his speech, Turpie received the congratulations of his Demo cratic colleagues, and tlie Senate, at 2:30 o'clock, adjourned. kenridge of Kentucky, said that it was clearly inconsistent with any idea of tiie copyright to make it anything but ex clusive. The idea of tlie copyright was, that he who owned a copyright had the exclusive right of the sale of his book. He who owned property had a right to seil it according to his judgment. The copy right was nothing but a legal title under the statutes to the property of the man who wrote the book. Being his. he had right to dispose of it. It was dishonest to deprive him of that right. Oates inquired as to the clause requir ing tlie book to be printed from type set in the United States. Breckinridge replied that all legislation was practical and a matter of concession. The question was not whether t.lie remedy could be made absolute, but how nearly absolute it could be made. There wen- divers interests involved—tlie interest of the author who furnished the brains, tin- interest of the publisher who furnished ti: - capital, and the interest of the work ing man who furnished the labor All these interests must he combined in this biil and all were combined in it. He did not believe that cheaper books could be obtained now that could be obtained under this bill, but even if they could, this was a matter of justice and honesty, it was an old argument he bad heard of in Ki ntucky, when one old coiored man asked another, “Sam, how’s it you sell year brooms cheaper than me, when 1 steals de straw'.”’ “Oh. that ain’t noth in; .” was the reply, “I steals my brooms re; dy made." (Laughter.) lie believed that a man’s dollar belonged to the man vv' o made it, and society’s highest duty ‘a 10 protect that man in the possession o his dollar, whether that man was a for eigner or not. Kerr, of Iowa, opposed the bill, charac terizing the ideas as something intangible and referring to the pending measure as a great tariff law. It was a law for the pro tection id'printers. It was not a protect ive tariff, but a prohibitive tariff. The debate lasted two horns. Tlie other speakers in favor of the bill were Farquhar and Cummings, of New York, Me Ad 00, but IVti-rs of Kansas, moved to recommit the bill with instruc tions to tin- committee on patents to ri - port, it back with an amendment, limiting the life of a copyright to fourteen years. Breckenridge, of Ark.uisaw. moved to amend tile instructions tiy instructing the committee to provide for the importation of books of foreign authors at tlie rate now- provided by law. Lost- yeas !*5 n.tys 140, Peters’ motion was iost—yeas its, nays 13s. Tiie question then recurred to the pas sage ot the bill, and the vote resulted, yeas 130, nays 05.

Washington, December 3.—Up to the present time the Deni .-ratic Senators, while unanimous in their opposition to the national election- bill, have not found it necessary to unite upon a dist inct party policy of antagonism.

The members of the fraternal relations committee were no tified that they were the press committee, and as such they have served until noon today, when the error in the noti fication was discovered. The press com mittee is now made up as follows: Stokes of Alabama, chairman; McDowell of Tennessee, Cary of Indiana, Langley of Arkansas, and Crum of Illinois. Colonel Livingston, of Georgia, w ho has up to this time acted as the mouthpiece of tlie press committee, iias extended every courtesy to the press and newspaper representatives here, about thirty in number. They said good-bye to him this afternoon with re gret. At the morning session of the nvention tlie committee on credentials made a final report, but this does not affect the personel of the body except in one or two instances where tlie representa tion from States was cut down, owing to i iecreaso in membership on account of non payment, of hues. Tito following order of business was adopted: Calling of tlie roils, reading of j minu cs, committee reports, uiitinistii d I business new business, reports of •'Hirers ; The reports of the national secre tary, treasurer anil executive board were not submitted at the morning session as promised.

December 3.—After tlie reading of the journal the Speaker stated the pending business to be the further con sideration of the copyright bill. Simonds. who was in charge of the bill, stated that the friends of the measure were willing to have the vote taken immediate ly, but expressed a readiness to yield any time that its opponents might desire. Springer argued that the bill changed the tariff law, in so far as the importation afte ami pression—suppression patent, well known, j of books was concerned, so that the effort undeniable and widely prevalent. The re cent census would show that in the States of Pennsylvania. Ohio and Illinois there were about 250,000 colored people: yet in those States no colored man has ever served as governor, or been elected to any department of the State government. There had been not only no proportional division of offices, there had been none at ail. The colored race in these States had been deprived of participation in official preferment. The colored citizen in these States was not barred by any constitutional statute; he the passage of the McKinley bill, after the election, it more impossible articles from abroad, notwithstanding th- statement of the Presidt nt that importa tions were increasing. Peters, of Kansas, expressed opposition to tiie character of the legislation involved in the bill. It was in the nature of quasi-special legislation, and, as a matter of fact, was the veiy 1 pro.-' Senators on tl amber to realize tin* nee*.- 1 party action.

The chaiic**s of tiie passage ot the bill, if it should re..eh a final vole, were can- \assed, and individual Senators expicss divers opinions as to tile ability of tie- Republican party leaders to keep tin-ir forces in line. The conclusion ivacneh was to maintain an unalterable o iposition to the passage of the eU-ci ions bill. The policy inaugurated today by Serator Tur pie will be followed, and : li<* minority will seize every opportunity to discuss the oil) exhaustively and fa:r!y, and strive to amend every objectionable feature as reached in the detailid consideration of the measure, as was the case with tin* tariff bill. I he opinion was expressed that, as the majority hail not yet signified anv intentitn to unduly restrict reasonable debate, it would be premature for tiie caucus to undertake tin- arrangement of a programme to meet the presentation of clature resolutions. It was made apparent however that the Democratic Senators in tended to resist the passage the of bill to the end. To secure harmony of action, the Democratic members of the committee on privileges and elections, which reported make | the bill will take charge of the debate import | and arrange the order of speaking There was some comparison of notes in the caucus to ascertain what Senator was prepared to speak. It appeared that few- bad set speeches on the bill prepared, but a number of Senators promised to be ready to meet any emergency in the shape of a dearth of debators. As to the further A LIVELY SENSATION. The sensation of the morning session was when President Livingston, of the Georgia Alliance, arose to a question ot privilege and said that in coii-eqtietiee ot certain rumors and reports grow ing out ot “special letters published in certain news papers’’ before tiie assembling of this con vention, insinuations had been made tiiat corrupt aim improper methods had been employed in tin* r. eent .Senatorial contest in Georgia.
