ESTABLISHED 1887. BUTLER VICTORIOUS The Senate Takes Up His Anti'Bond Resolution. > SENATOR HILL OBJECTED IN VAIN - 1 T - There Was a Notable Increase In Attendance IN ANTICIPATION OF THE DEBATE • Be Made a Speech In Opposition In Which He Declared U the Proposed Measure Became a L** It Would Be a Greater Crime Than That Alleged to Have Beiu Committed In '73. " Washington, May 22. —There was a noticable increase of the attendance in the senate in anticipation of an exciting debate. The chaplain’s prayer hardly closed when Mr. Butler (Pop., N. O.) made a motion to take up the bill pro- * hibiting the issue of» interest bearing bonds. After some sparring, Mr. Hill interposed the objection that this was too important a question to be consid ered “without a quorum.” This was the first evidence of a renewal of ob struction, but a quorum being found very quickly, the motion was adopted— yeas 34, nays 20, as follows: Yeas—Republicans: Brown, Dubois, Hansbrough, Mitchell (Oregon), Perk- . ins, Pettigrew, Pritchard. Shoup, Teller, Thurston, Warren and Wilson—l 2. Democrats: Bacon, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Chilton, Cockrell, Daniel, George, Harris, Jones (Arkansas), Mar tin, Mills, Pasco, Pugh, Turpie, Vest and White—l7. Populists: Allen, Butler, Kyle, Peffer and Stewart —5. Totol, 84. Nays—Republicans: Allison, Baker, Burrows, Chandler, Davis, Frye, Gal linger, Hale, Hawley, Mcßride, McMil lan, Morrill, Nelson, Sherman and Wet more—ls. Democrats: Oaffery, Gray, Hill, Lindsay and Vilas —5. Total, 20. With the understanding that the But ler bill should not be prejudiced, a bill was passed to quit title to lands in per sons who purchased the same in good faith without notice and for a valuable consideration and to enable the govern ment to issue patents on such lands • and that commutations of homstead en tries shall take effect from date of set tlement and not from date of entry. Mill* Wanted the Bond Bill Rushed. Mr. Mills (Dem., Tex.) then'gave no tice that h* would object to any busi ness until the pending bond bill was disposed of. Mr.-Pettigrew presented a partial con ference report on the Indian bill which, being privileged; was admitted and agreed to, the chair ruling that it could not be debated so as to displace the bond bill. Mr. Mills again demanded the “regu lar order” and Mr. Hill began his speech in opposition. He spoke calmly at first, gradually warming up in emphasis and “The alleged crime of 1873 will be as nothing,” said Mr. Hill, “to the crime which will be perpetrated if this bill passes and becomes a law.” “It is a bold proposition to repeal the resumption act, to repeal the only law which exists for the redemption of the paper currency of the country. By de claring that for no purpose whatever shall money be raised on bonds, this measure is in effect a repeal of the act of ’75. It is a startling proposition. It will not solve the silver question. It will simply put in peril the finances of the country.” The senator spoke derisively of this “self confes >d Populist measure.” It might pass this body, he said, but no senator believed it could pass the house; no senator believed it could receive the approval of the president. Doe* Not Yield Sufficient Revenue. z What he most regretted, he said, was that here in the senate he must differ with close friends on such a question as maintaining our integrity in the re demption of the paper money of the country. The present tariff law con fessedly did not yield sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the government. In the face of this fact vast appropri ations were being made. “How. then,” asked Mr. Hill, “can you expect to maintain a fund for the redemption of the outstanding reaper money of the country?” At 2 o’clock the Butler bond bill was displaced in the senate under the rules and a motion was necessary to proceed With its consideration; a iflotion to that effect was carried 29 to 27. Mr. Hill continued his remarks against the bill. Some senators who voted for the motion early in the day were absent and there was some changes The conference report on the river and harbor bill was agreed to in the house, 189 to 56. The speaker reap pointed Messrs. Hooker, Horman and Catchings as conferees. SPLIT IN THE 'RANK. th* ftafflnnlng a General Division <>t the Haights of Pythias. Milwaukee, May 22.—As an out growth of the decision by the national body of the military order of Knights of Pythias not to hold any national en campment this year, because of the ac tion of the Western Passenger associa tion, a union encampment by the brig ades of Wisconsin, lowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas and probably several other northwestern states will be held with Minnesota brigades at Minneapolis dur ing the first week in September. For this union or division encamp ment the oity of Minneapolis will carry out all the arranroments in to fv: THE ROHE TRIBUNE. the national gathering, including the raising of $5,000 in cash prizes for drills, etc. A similar encampment will be held about the same time at Columbus, 0., for the middle states, and probably another for the southern states at Nash ville. Among prominent members of the military department it is believed that this will be the beginning of a general division of the uniform rank into sec tions to be known as the eastern, west ern, northern and southern, the object being to hold union or division encamp- , ments every second year, and a national encampment every fourth year, instead of every three years 'as at present. MISS COUSINS VERY ILL. The Noted Woman Suffraglat Wa* Given the "Marble Heart" by Her Associate*. Los Angeles, May 22. —Miss Phoebe Cousins, the noted lecturer and woman suffragist, who came to this city a few. months ago on account of a severe at tack of rheumatism, has rapidly grown worse and is now very ill. While not in absolute want. Miss Cousins* ex chequer is somewhat depleted and in consequence she applied to the suffrage association for a loan in order that she might leave this climate, which does not agree with her. She wrote to Mrs. Sargent, president of the suffrage asso ciation at San Francisco and Miss Su san B. Anthony, but neither would come to her aid. Mrs. Sargent took no notice of the letter and Miss Anthony replied that they needed all the money they had for the campaign for woman suffrage in Cali fornia. Miss Cousins spoke pathetically of her neglect by Miss Anthony, to whom she said she had been a loyal supporter and defender. NORTH CAROLINA CROPS. Th* Inoreas* In Cotton Acreagr* la Sixteen Per Cent Over Ordinary Year*. Raaleigh, May 22. —The state agri cultural department summarized its May crop report, based on returns from 900 correspondents. The general con dition and preparation of farm lands is given as 104 per cent. The increase in the cotton acreage over ordinary years is 16 per cent. Corn is 2 per cent below the average. The condition of wheat is 92 and oats 87 per cent. It is the opinion of some correspon dents that the great increase in cotton acreage is by men who are in debt to merchants for supplies and who are forced by the merchants to plant what they term a money crop. The increase in tobacco acreage is 12 per cent. The Annual convention of the Protest ant Episcopal diocese of East Carolina met at Wilmington with 50 cletrical and 110 lay delegates. • • <MT Sal* In Thia Country.

The big gest state product was in New York, with 6,795,616 barrels an amount double that or Michigan, which comes next in quantity. What th* British Naval Annual Contains. Washington, May 22.—The new Brit ish naval annual, edited by Lord Bras sey, not only has a complete description of all the additions to the American navy during the past year, with com ments upon the qualities of our ships at Kiel, but has the following quotation from Thomas Jefferson as its motto on the title page: “No system of conduct, however correct in principle, can pro tect neutral powers from injury from any party. A defenseless position and a distinguished love of peace are the surest invitations to war.” Taubeneck'on the Rumored Fusion. St. Louis, May 22.—The announce ment from Indiana that the Populists of every state in the Union are to fuse with the Democrats in case a free silver platform is adopted, has excited much interest among local Populists. Chair man Taubeneck of the People’s Party national executive committee, when seen, said: “I know absolutely nothing of the story. No Populist, Bimetallist or silver Democrat has ever mentioned this to me. If the Populists of Indiana have agreed to a combination of this kind they have not taken any one into their confidence. So far as the national committee of the People’s party is con cerned, there is no truth in the report.” Fairchild In a Precarious Condition.* Madison, Wis., May 22.—The friends of General Lucius Fairchild are much worried over his condition and grave doubts of his recovery are entertained. General Fairchild was taken sick about three weeks ago with kidney trouble. He grew gradually worse and about a week ago was forced to take to his bed.

THE MEMBERS WEARY House of Commons in Session Twenty One Honrs. , FINALLY ADJOURNED TILL JUNE I Nearly Two Days in Continu ous Setting WERE THE OBSTINATE COMMOUERS The Agricultural Rating Bill W*. Up and Mr. Balfour Said the Government Pro posed to Continue the Sitting Until. th* Measure Should Be Completed, and They Did—Several Members Suspended. London, May 22.—At noon Friday the house of commons was still in ses sion, having been sitting continuously for 21 hours, with the prospect of fur ther weariness of the members. The deadlock began Thursday after the discussion of the agricultural rating bill, providing for the reduction of rates on agricultural land. The house was in committee of the whole from 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon and at 3 o’clock Friday morning the closure was moved. But several members refused to enter the division lobby, whereupon the Speaker, Mr. Gully, was summoned and he named John Dillon, the anti-Parnel lite leader, Dr. Tanner, Donald Sulli van, David Lloyd, George and John Herbert Lewis, the latter two being Welsh members, for disobeying the chair. The members named were suspended for a week. During a later division Mr. James O’Oonnor, member for West Wicklow, refused to leave his seat and the ser geant-at-orms removed him in the usual manner. The Conservative’s leader, Mr. Bal four, moved the suspension of the mem bers named, and the motion was carried by a vote of 209 to 58. Michael Davitt and Daniel MacAleer, members for South Mayo and North Monaghan, respectively, persisted in re maining in the house, during the divi sion, whereupon the sergeant-at-arms was summoned by the speaker to remove them. This was done in the usual formal manner, Messrs. Davitt and Mac- Aleer repudiating any intention to show disrespect for the chair. . Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal leader, thereupon moved to ad journ the debate, claiming the house was not in a fit condition to continue the discussion, but the speaker deplined to accept the motion and the discussion was continued. Mr. Balfour said the government pro posed to continue the sitting until the bill should be completed. The secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the under sec retary of the foreign office, Mr. Curzon, the secretary of state for India, Lord George Hamilton, and Mr. Balfour oc cupied the treasury bench all night long in the evening dress they had worn on the previous night. Throughout the night suppers were in progress in the coffeeroom and from the fact that 1,000 eggs alone were con sumed, it may be judged that the ap petites of the members were’ sharpened considerably by their stay in the house. At 5 o’clock Friday morning the man ager of the coffeercom made a sortie and succeeded in purchasing the entire contents of a fishstore located in the neighborhood of the house. He loaded these provisions into a cab and conveyed them to the house. He then started on another foraging expedition and event ually returned with two cabs full of fresh bread, buttermilk, coffee, tea, rolls, sausages, bacon, ham, etc., and the prospects of starvation for the mem bers soon vanished. With a good break fast the commoners began to look at the agricultural rating bill in a more favor able light and amicable discussion was resumed. Repeated closures followed, and at 8:30 a. m. Sir William Vernon Har court, the Liberal leader, again tried to adjourn the house, declaring that the government’s “fatal passion for closure had destroyed the good feeling and faith of the house,” adding, “it is an evil day when the house can no longer rely upon the promises of the government. In my long experience I have never known a bill conducted in such an arbitrary manner.” Sir William. Harcourt’s motion was defeated. Finally, at 1:30 p. m., just as the members were getting hungry again and longing for luncheon with the man ager of the coffeeroom, preparing for another reconnoitering expedition, all the clauses of the bill were agreed to, and with many sighs of relief the house adjourned until June 1, and the mem bers hurried away to their clubs oi homes for luncheon.

Christian people were scored for their lax observance of Sunday. The resolutions, which were adopted, reaffirmed former deliverances as to the perpetual binding obligation of the Sab bath. They also commend the efforts made in Suudayschools and young peo | pie’s societies for the better observance of the Sabbath and appointed the last Sunday in October as a day for the special consideration of the subject and commended the work 'of the American Sabbath union and its auxilliaries. Elder L. P. Main of Kearney, Neb., introduced a resolution expressing “lai k of sympathy with the criminal prosecu tion of those persons who honestly and conscientiously observe the seventh day of the week, instead of the first,” but he met with opposition and his motion was tabled.

Ex-City Treasurer Bollen, Will Not Go to the Pen Until His Case Is Reviewed. Lincoln, Neb., May 22. —Attorneys appeared before the supreme court and applied for a suspension of the sentence of 19 years in the penitentiary of Henry Bollen, convicted of embezzlement as city treasurer of Omaha. The petition in error in which the su preme court is asked to review the case was also filed. The probable error on account of which the suspension of sen tence pending the review of the case was asked, was that the trial judge in his instructions said that if the treas urer “failed to turn over the money in his possession on demand” that act con stituted embezzlement. The attorney for Bollen contended that the instruc tions should read “on reasonable de demand.” An order was made suspending the sentence pending a review of the case. Bail was fixed in the sum of $50,000. THREE HANGED IN A ROW. Public Execution In T.xaa Witnessed by Twenty Thousand People.

New York, May 22. —A special to The World from Madrid says: In con sequence of representations made by the American government the Spanish cab inet will try to induce Captain General Weyler to reconsider his prohibition of the exportation of leaf tobacco to for eign countries.

WERE PREPARED WHEN IT CAME Yankee Ingenuity Was Dis played in the Transaction WHEN THE CRAZE STRUCK ENGLAND They Purchased' All the Stock of Steel Tubes on Hand In England and Gave Or ders Sufficient to Engage the Output off Many of the Factories For a Long Time to Come—Britons Left In the Lurch* Washington, May 22.—United Stateg Consul Parker, at Birmingham, Eng land, has contributed to the state de partment a special report on the marked development of the business of making steel tubes at that place, caused by the great increase in the use of the bicycle. Incidentally, he tells of a shrewd yan kee business transaction, which has placed the British bicycle makers iu a bad plight. The American manufac turers, foreseeing a demand for wheels, not only purchased all the stock of steel tubes on hand in England, but gave or ders that engaged the output of many of the factories for a long time to come. And so it happened that when the “craze” struck England the British bi cycle makers found that they had been caught napping and were short of ma terial. Immediately there was a rush to start up new steel tube plants, and so many have been projected that over production is feared in the end, but meanwhile there is a stringency. To show the increased export of this tubing to the United States, the consul says that while the entire export for 1894 was $85,899, that for the first quar ter of this year amounts already to $231,2000. Meanwhile there has been a decrease in the exports of finished Brit ish bicycles to the United States and their value has fallen from $478,810 in the first six months of 1893 to $90,968 for to much of the current year as has expired. TO FAITHFUL slaves. A Monument I* Unveiled at Fort Mill, •» C.—The Exercise*. Columbia, S. C., May 22.—There was unveiled at Fort Mill, S. C., a monu ment erected in honor of the faithful slaves of the south during the war, by an ex-slave owner and an ex-confederate . soldier, the first public recognitipn of the debt of gratitude that the people of the south qwe to the negroes who, while their masters were away on the fields of Virginia and the west, acted m the pro tectom of the women and children left on t&e plantations, and were so loyal and’true to the trust that there are few if any instances of a violation of it. Captain S. E. White of Fort Mill, » wealthy planter and mill owner, con ceived the ideaeome months ago of pay ing this richly deserved tribute to these people, and as a result the monument, a handsome marble shaft was raised on the brow of a hill on the main street of the village 'lt bears the following in scription on the front: “1860. Dedicated to the faithful slaves who, loyal to a sacred trust, toiled for the support of the army; with matchless devotion and with sterling fidelity guarded our defenseless homes, women and children, during the strug gle for the principles of our Confederate States of America. 1865.” On the reverse side: “1895. Erected by Samuel E. White in grateful memory of earlier days, with the approval of the Jefferson Davis Me morial association. Among the many faithful: Nelson White, Sandy White, Warren White, Silas White, Handy White, Anthony White, Jim White, Henry White, Nathan Springs, Solomon Sprat.” On the two sides not occupied by in scriptions were carved first the figure of a negro woman holding in her arms a white child; and, second, that of a ne gro man seated ou a log in a Wheatfield with a scythe resting on his knees. The chords which removed the veil from the monument were drawn by four grayhaired ex-slaves, who were, as those whose names are inserted on the monument, formerly the slaves of Cap tain White. The oration of the day was delivered by Mr. Polk Miller, a well known dialect lecturer of Virginia, and the hearty ap preciation of the whole proceedings by a large audience composed, in a great part, of ex-confederates, testified to their sympathy with with the patriotic purpose and sentiment displayed by Captain White. Another monument was also erected by Captain White in memory of the women of the Confederacy, to whom these black slaves were so faithful and loyal. 3r«Kr6eN*i>£lighted With Liberia* Selma, Ala., May 22. —The first di rect news from the colony Os negroes from this section, which sailed from Sa vannah to Liberia last March, has jusL been received.
