Valdosta Xriru: We were shown, on Tues

eighty years, ft originally belonged to Joseph
book. Mr. Look's grandfather. It is well
preserved, but still shows its age. Its market
value is about $lO, but Mr. Look says he
would not part with it for any amount of
money. It is diainond-sha|>cd, amt one sole
is filled with strange lettering, with the
square and compass in the centre; <>n the
other side is the following: '‘Joseph Look,
Milledgeville. Ga„ 5821.” For several years
it was supposed to Is* lost. When Sherman’s
aruiy pa—od through Milledgevlllc tt was
stolen by one of the soldiers, and all hopes of
ns recovery were given up. After several
years it hapiK-ued to fall into the hands of a
gentleman in Portland, Me., who. being a
Mason, understood the lettering, and at once
sent it to its owner. It was sent to Joseph
Look, or his heirs. Joseph Look being dead,
it wet, delivered to Mr. Look's father, who
gave it to Mr. T. M. Look on his deathbed,
and Mr. t ook has had it ever since.
Hon. L. M Trammell, one of the Railroad
Loniin ssnmers, in an interview in the Atlan
ta i'onutitution, has the following to say in re
gard to the dis|H>sition of the .state road, for
the sale ul which a bill will be introduced in
the next General Assembly: “I think
the road should be re-leased for a
term of 20 years. It can lie leased for $40,000
or $50,000 per month. The bill providing for
the lease should make $40,000 jht month a
minimum price. This would be equal to the
interest on ss,uoo,ooo at 6 percent. |a*r annum,
an iat the end of $4 years the Slate would
own the road, w hich will, in ail probability,
tie worth double what it is worth to-day. it
should be leased subject to the present lease,
l ids would relieve the Btate of the question of
betterments which will arise between tie*
present lessees and the State, and leave that
matter to be settled by the two companies,
and would rid the State of the trouble amt c.\-
|s*tice of adjusting the same, which is a mat
ter of great importance to the State. There
is no question Is-fore the Legislature involv
i- gas much as this question does. It is of the
very gravest importance and should la* dis-
eus-ed bv the papers and disposed of I adore
it is too late. There is great danger of the
state losing this property if wise action is not
t.ikeu by the Legislature.”

the protection of one of the numerous tries
behind which his men were dodging to evade
the raiu of deadly missiles the enemy wa.-
pouring into their thin ranks. Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston, who wanted to see Wheeler,
and knowing he would find him where
the lighting was going on, sought him
on the skirmish line. When Gen. Jnka

Albany, N. Y., Feb. 27.—President
elect Cleveland states to the News corre
spondent that he does not intend to an
nounce his Cabinet before Tuesday. There
is the i>est authority for the statement
that at 2 o’clock this afternoon Mr. Cleve
land had decided positively on only four
members of his Cabinet—Bayard, Lamar,
Manning and Garland. What has been
said of New England and the navy still
holds true. Judge Eudlcott, of Massa
chusetts, has n;*t yet tioen finally decided
upon by the President-elect, hut he is
likely to t>e chosen. The selection of the
three remaining members of the Cabinet
is giving the President-elect no small
amount of trouble. Gen. John C. Black,
•if Illinois, will either be Secretary of
War or Commissioner of Pensions.
President-elect Cleveland, accompanied
by his brother, two sisters, anil Col. La
mont and family, will start for Washing
ton early on Tuesday morning and will be
there on Tuesday evening.
HOW BAYARD WAS INDUCED TO AC
CEPT.
Washington, Feb. 27.—When Mr.
Bayard was first invited into the Cabinet
he infoi nted the President-elect that he
would prtfet to remain in the Senate.
Mr. Bayard told Mr. Cleveland that he
might consider himself absolved from all
obligation growing out of the custom of
the successful cauuidate bestowing his
chief Cabinet honor upon his principal
rival for the nomination. Mr. Bayard
assured Mr. Cleveland that the incoming
administration would have his cordial
friendship and support, and that he was
inclined to believe he could tie of more
use to the administration in the Senate
than in the Cabinet. That conversation
tiM*k place not long after the meeting of
Congress, and Mr. Bayard preferred not
to commit himself at that time. He did
not know what Mr. Cleveland’s ideas of
administration might be, or what sort
of men hi* might select for his Cabinet.
Mr. Cleveland again invites Mr. Bayard
to visit him, and tiie Senator went two or
three weeks ago. At the visit the Presi
dent-elect confided to the Delaware Sena
tor all his views and his plans in regard
to his administration of the government,
tnd the two men found themselves in ac
cord upon the great principles. More
than that, Mr, Bayard was advised of the
men cont. ntplated for the Cabinet, and he
approved them. He ascertained that
Mr. Cleveland was honestly endeavoring
to make a Cabinet ol the best material in
his party, and to take those of national
distinction'iii whom the country has
confidence. In the light of this informa
tion Mr. Bayard gave his consent to ac
cept the portfolio of the State Department,
feeling that an administration made up
of men like Lamar and Garland could
not be a tailurc.
TO RESIGN TUK SEN A TOIISUIP.
The Wilmington (Del.) Every Evening
ibis afternoon publishes the statement, oh
entirely trustworthy authority, that
Senator Bayard will enter Mr. Cleve
land’s Cabinet as Secretary of State, and
that he will forward lus resignation as
United States Senator to the Legislature
next Wednesday.
GARLAND ACCEPTS A PORTFOLIO.
The Star says: “It is stated to-day. and
not questioned, that Senator Garland yes
terday received a letter formally inviting
him to accept the portfolio of the Depart
ment of Justice, and the Senator has
mailed his acceptance. While no doubt
has been entertained that Mr. Garland
would be appointed, it appears that the
formal tender ol the position did uot reach
him till yesterday afternoon.”
THE VICE PRESIDENT’S RECEPTION IN
WASHINGTON,
The Vice President-elect arrived in
Washington at 3:30 o’clock this after
noon, on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, two hours and a quarter behind j
time. A large crowd assembled at the
depot belore tno hour ai which the train
was due, and patiently awaited Us com
ing, receiving constant accessions as the
time passed until when the train arrived,
the assemblage numbered several thou
-and persons. The throng filled the de
pot, waiting room, and crowded on the
sidewalk in front of the depot, and the
members of the citizens’reception com
mittee and of the Indiana Democratic As.
-ociatioE, and a few newspaper reporters,
awaited the arrival ol the train on the
platform in the interior of the depot. All
the Democratic members of Congress
trom Indiana, except Senator Voorhees,
who was detained at the Senate, .and
Judge Holman, who could uot leave the
the House, were present as members ot
the Indiana Democratic Association.
Representatives-elect Bynum, Ford and
Howard, of Indiana, and Col. Bannister,
of that State, and Messrs. Niles and Mor
gan. of this city, as representatives of the
Indiana Democratic Association and
Litizens’ Committee, respectively, went
upas far as Harper’s Ferry to meet Mr.
Hendricks and escort him to the city.
It had been arranged by the Indiana
Association to meet Mr. Hendricks at the
depot and give him a cordial reception,
without speechmaking or any formality,
and the Inaugural Committee sent the
Reception Committee to meet him and
escort hint to his hotel. Unfortunately,
however, there was no concert of action
between the two bodies, and when the
train drew up in the depot and Mr. Hen
dricks alighted he was seized hold of by
Niles and Ciaggett, of the Citizens’ Com
mittee, and hurried through the crowd on
the platform towards his carriage without
l icing allowed to stop a moment.
As soon as the Vice President-elect was
recognized, many of the spectators on the
platform doffed their hats and applauded
him. As he pushed on toward the car
riage, down the length of the platform and
through the waiting-room to the street,
the applause grew until, as he reached
tin* street, it broke into enthusiastic
cheering, to which Mr. Hendricks re
sponded by raising bis hat and bowing.
The committee escorted him to a carriage,
but here the crowd surged about the ve
hicle and prevented it from being driven
off. while a score or more shook hands
with Mr. Hendricks. As the driver finally
whipped up ills horses and drove oft to the
hotel, the crowd cheered enthusiastically.
Mr. Hendricks was accompanied by
several gentlemen trom Indiana and a few
ladies of his family.
Mr. Hendricks dined quietly at Wil
lard’s Hotel to-night with Mrs. Hendricks,
and in the evening held an informal re
ception in h*s rooms in the hotel, quite a
large number of persons calling on hint
to pay their respects.

AVashington, Feb. 27. —In order to
keep out some contested election cases
which the Elections Committee wanted to
bring up in the House, the Republicans
delayed action this afternoon on the
recommendations of the Appropriation
Committee respecting the post office ap
propriation bill. The House agreed with
the committee in non-concurring
in all the Senate amendments
reached this afternoon, but all the
Senate amendments were not reaebed
owing to the Republican programme of
delay, and so the bill went over until to

instead of going to a conference commit

which was not reached was that contain
ing the $400,000 Pacific Mail subsidy. The
Pacific Mail lobbyists seem very certain
that this amendment will be kept in the
bill. They depend in tbo first place upon
the House’. They say that the majority
by which Messrs. Randall and Holman
struck the subsidy out in the House was
a very small one, and that they have
“converted” enough men to get a different
result when the question is again voted
on But, failing in the House, they will
fall back upon the conterenee committee.
It is understood that the conterees on the
part of the House will be Messrs. Hol
man Townsbend. of Illinois, and Horr, of
Michigan. Mr. Holman, of course, is
against the subsidy, and Towushend is
supposed to be, but still the Pwlnc Mail
lobbyists claitp fi majority of this sub
committee.
PROSPECTS OF THE BANKRUPT BILL.
Those members of the House who have
been foremost in support of the bank-
SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1885.
ruptcy bill are actively at work among
its Iriends to-night urging upon them the
importance of early and continuous at
tendance in the House to-morrow. The
programme agreed upon is the recognition
by Speaker Carlisle of Mr. Morse, who
will move to suspend the rules and pass
the bill.
Mr. Adams, of New York, says that it
is the belief of the supporters of the
measure that two-thirds can be secured
to suspend the rules, if the friends of the
bill will make it a point to lie on hand.
The trouble heretofore has been with the
absentees. It is the intention of Messrs.
Adams, Collins and Morse to notify every
man known to favor the bill, in order that
there may be no excuse for absence. They
are hopeful of success, but are not san
guine.
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
The River and Harbor Committee hav
ing come to the conclusion that the river
and harbor bill reported by it is dead,
offered in the House this afternoon a sub
stitute appropriating $5,000,000 to con
tinue work where it is necessary, in the
judgment of the Secretary ot War, on the
rivers and harbors appropriated for, in
the river and harbor bill of last session.
This the House passed by a two-tairds
majority,suspending the rules for the pur
pose. Of course the purpose of the
friends of the measure is to have the ap
propriation increased—doubled if possi
ble—in the Senate. They expect to get
at least $5,000,000 in the (till as it finally
passes, if it does pass. Its passage will,
however, be resisted at every step and its
chances seem to be slender.

STATE CAPITAL. NOTES.
The New Commissioner for Chatham—
State Colors fur the Inaasumt—Fall of
Residence—Minor Mention.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 27.— T0-day the
Governor issued commissions to the mem
bers of the Board of Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues of Chatham county,
which were mailed to-night. With one
exception the old board was recommis
sioned, and in his place Charles H. Dor
sett was appointed.
The management ot the inaugural cere
monies has made application to Georgia
for the State colors to he used in the pro
cession, stating that it did not know
what they were, and if not furnished a
flag of some other State, with the coat-of
artns of Georgia, would be substituted.
Adjutant General Stephens ordered one
made, in conformity with section 1103 of
the code, and to-day the colors were
shipped to Washington by express. Ad
jutant General Stephens leaves for Wash
ington to-night for the purpose of taking
part in the celebration.
A two-story residence on Cone street,
the foundations of which rested on a high
embankment made by lowering the grade
of the streets, tumbled over last night,
sending the occupants flying through the
air in their nignt clntbou and c-attoring
the effects in every direction. The owner
of the property will bring suit against
the city for damages. No one was ser
iously hurt, but the furniture was badly
damaged.
An enterprising policeman discovered
an old and almost forgotten city ordi
nance which prohibits passenger agents
from displaying their advertisements on
fences, lamp posts and bridges without
consent of owners, and arrested ten or
twelve passenger agents under this
charge. To-day Police Judge Andersou
tried one case to test the strength oi the
ordinance, and found the defendants
guilty. They all paid up at the rate ot
$5 and costs each.
some days since a cock-pit on Broad
street was raided by the police. The in
terested parties were arrested and made
to give bond for their appearance before
the Recorder to-day. when the last of
those directly engaged iu the sport were
fined. In each case Police Judge Ander
son fined the offenders SSO and costs, and
he held that the owner of the resort was
as guilty as the men handling the birds,
and the same fine was imposed on him.
L T ecil Gabbett, of the Western Railroad
of Alabama, who has control of the Union
depot in Atlanta, has posted the following
order in the depot: “No soliciting of pass
engers in this depot, by order of the
owners,” Among the passenger agents
this is thought to be a move to keep the
passenger agents from soliciting patron
age for the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia out of the depot.
No decision has as yet beeu rendered in
the contested election case trom Effing
nam county. To-day the contest over the
offices ot Ordinary, Tax Collector and

The Governor has heard and refused the
applications for a pardon for Powell
Howell, colored, of Fulton county, who
was sentenced for one year in the peni
tentiary service for burglary a short time
ago.
THE EXPOSITION.
The Weather Delightful and Everybody
in a Good Humor.
New Orleans, Feb. 27.—The news
that the bill granting an additional ap
propriation for the exposition had passed
the House, and the belief that the Senate
will act with equal wisdom by indorsing
it3 action, had the effect of raising the
spirits of exhibtiorsto the highest degree
ofjubilaney. With the public the result
of the good news was equally satisfactory,
and hence the attendance appeared great
er than yesterday. The weather was
beautiful, and to visitors who but yester
day were snowed up en route, the balmy
breezes and genial sun proved a most
agreeable surprise.
Tne Board ct Management now publish
daily receipts, those of yesterday amount
ing to $4,595.
The exposition is receiving its finishing
touches. The colossal group of statuary,
representing “Union,” “Justice” and
“Confidence,” was set up in the park in
front of the mam building to-day. The
ulass in the upper part of the dome of the
Mexican iron building was set to-day,
completing the dome, and the cases for
the mineral exhibits trom Mexico were
placed in Octagon Hall, directly under
the dome. The bridge to the miniature
island, permitting the access of visitors
to the life saving station, operated by the
United States Government, was com
pleted to-day.
The Exposition l’ress Association met
to-day and appointed a committee to at
tend to the entertainment of visiting
journalists. A party of journalists is ex
pected from Washington March 12.
The awards for fine sheep and goats in
the live stock department were concluded
to-day. Among the foreign exhibitors
who received the highest premiums lor
sheep were Robert Marsh, of Ontario,
Canada, and E. A. Stanford, of Sterning,
Suffolk, England.
Before the Bee Keepers Congress ad
journed last evening resolutions were
adopted thanking the exposition manage
ment tor their kind favors and the people
of New Orleans for their generous hos
pitalities, The meeting has aroused
much interest in bee culture in the South,
To-morrow the Mexican band will re
ceive at the depot a string band of 25 per
formers that will arrive from the City of
Mexico. On Sunday both bands will
give a concert at the Exposition Music
HaU.
Messrs. Jones & Loughlin, of Pittsburg,
through their counsel, Gilbert L. Hall,
to-day" filed a suit against the World’s
Exposition for $24,000. They ask for
judgment, jvith a mechanics’ and vendors’

which was to have been paid for upon de

SUSPEND THE COINAGE.
MK. CL! VULiAND’S VIEW’S ON
THE SILVER QUESTION.
He Replies to Mr. Warner and Suggests
That the Present Purchase and Coin
age of Silver Be Suspended—The Two
Metals Must Not Part Company—The
Interests Involved.
Albany, N. Y., Feb. 27.—The follow
ing is the reply addressed by President
elect Cleveland to the silver coinage ad
vocates in Congress:
To th 4 Hon. A . J. Warner and other* , member*
of the Forty-eighth Congre **:
Gentlemen—The letter which 1 have had
the lienor lo receive front you invites, and
indeed obliges, me to give expression to some
grave public necessities, although in advance
ot the moment when they won and become ob
jects of my ollisi.il can* and partial respous -
biiity. Your solicitude that my judgment
shall have been carefully and deliberately
formed is entirely just, and I accept the sug'-
gestion in the same friendly spirit iu which it
has been made. It is also fully justified
by tne nature of the financial' e-isis
which, under tiie operation of the act of Con
gress of Feb. 28, 1878, is now close at band.
By compliance with the requirements of that
law all the vaults of the Federal Treasury
have been and are
HEAPED FULL OF SILVER COINS,
which are now wortli less than 85 per cent, of
the gold dollar prescribed as a unit of value
in section 14 or ttie act of Feb. 12, 1873, and
which, with the silver certificates represent
ing such coin, are receivable for all public
dues. Being tints receivable, while also con
stantly increasing in quantity at the rate of
2S.OcO.DOJ a year, it lias followed, of necessity,
that the flow of gold into the Treasury has
been steadily diminished. Silver and silver
certiflcates have displa-ed, and are
NOW DISPLACING GOLD,
and the sum of gold iu the Federal Treasury
now available for the payment of gold ob iga
tions of the United States and for Uie re
demption of United States notes called
“greenbacks,” if not already encroached
upon, is perilously near such encroachment.
These are facts, which, as they do not admit
of difference of opinion, call for no argument.
They have been forewarned to the United
States in tiie official reports of everv Secre
tary or the Treasury from 1878 till now.
They are plainly affirmed in the last
December report of the present Secretary
of the Treasury to the Speaker of the present
House of Representatives. They appear in
the official documents of this Congress and in
tne records of the New York Clearing House
(ot which the Treasury is a member), aud
through which the bulk of the receipts and
payments of the Federal Government and of
the country pass. These being the facts of
OCR PRESENT CONDITION AND OUR
DANGER,
our duty to avert that danger would seem to
be plain. I hope you concur with me and
with the great majority of our fellow citizens,
in deeming it most desirable at the present
juncture to maintain and continue
in use the inass of our gold
coin, as well as the mass of
silver already coined. This is possible by the
present suspension of the purchase and coin
age of silver. I am not aware that by any
other method it is possible. It is of moment
ous importance lo prevent the two inetals
from parting company; to prevent increasing
the displacement of gold by increasing the
coinage of silver: to prevent the disuse of
gold in the custom houses of the United 'tales
iu the daily business of the people; and to
prevent the ultimate expulsion of gold by
sitver. Such a financial crisis as these events
would certainly precipitate were it now to
follow upon so loug a period of commurcial
depression would involve the people of every
city and every State in the Union iu
PROLONGED AND DISASTROUS TROUBLE.
Tne revival of business enterprise and pros
perity. so ardently desired and apparently so
near, would he hopelessly postpone*!. Gold
would be withdrawn to its hoarding places,
and an unprecedented contraction in the
actual volume of onr currency would speedily
take place. The saddest of all, every work
shop, mill, factory, store, and on everv rail
road and farm, the wages of labor, already
depressed, would suffer still further depres
sion by the scaling down of the purchasing
power of every so-called dollar paid into
the hand of toil. From these impending
calamities it is surely the most patriotic and
grateful duty of the representatives of the
people to deliver them.
i am, gentlemen, with sincere respect, your
fellow citizen, Gkovkk Cleveland.
Albany, Feb. 24, ISSS.
GRANT BREAKING DOWN.
A Gloomy View of the General’s Con
dition—Said to be No Hope of a
Reaction.
Philadelphia, Feb. 27.—A special
from New Y’orlr, based on reliable medi
onl authority, says:
Notwithstanding the rose-colored report of
Gen. Grant’s health recently given in the
Medical Journal, the truth is that Gen. Grant
is a very sick man, and his death, apparently,
is not far distant. The public have no con
ception of the shattered condition of his
physical system. It is hoped that the aftlic
tion of the tongue may not prove fatal,
hut there is as yet no appearance to indicate
that it is not the development of a malignant
and fatal disease. Although somewhat better
now than some weeks ago, his enlarged and
inflamed tongue continues making it painful
for the General to sneak or swallow fluids,
the only nourishment he can take. In addi
tion t** this distressing malady, Gen. Grant
is a terible sufferer from neuralgia, ami it
seems to have taken possession ol lus whole
system He has had most of his teetli drawn
to lessen the neuralgic torture, and his injury
in the li ji. citt'OT by his fall a year ago, is
still a source of great sufferiug and forbids
Physical exercise. It is a fact that should no
longer hj concealed from the country, that
Gen. Grant is rapidly breaking down, appar
ently with little hope of reacting, and unless
there should be some unexpected re
lief lie ill not be long among the
living. He is wonderfully patiei t
and uncomplaining, and he profoundly
appreciates the expressions of sympathy
which have been called out by his recent mis
fortunes. He works every day with a band
aged head and in unremitting pain to fiuish
hi-* military autobiography or history of the
war, and hopes to complete it this spring. The
first volume is entirely finished, but not re
vised, ami the second volume is more than
half dote. He has not taken time to revise
the first volume because of his apprehension
that he may not be able to llnish the second.
A HORRIBLiE TRAGEDY.
A Man, Assisted by Ills Sony Hangs His
Wife—A Lynching Probable.
Louisville, Feb. 27. —Information has
reached the Courier-. Journal to-night of a
horrible tragedy in Union countv, Ky. A
farmer named Mose Caton, living near
Smith’s Mills, in Union county, and
his sons on last Saturday hung
Mose Caton’s wife, whom he mar
ried four years ago. She was
a widow before she married Caton, and
owned a small tract of land which Caton
wanted her to deed to him. She declined
to do so, which enraged him. On Satur
day, with his sons, he took her out and
hung her, after beating her terri
bly. They put the corpse in a box
and took it in the house. The neighbors,
in dressing the body for burial, discovered
bruises and a broken neck. They report
ed the matter to the authorities, who had
the body disinterred and ordered the ar
rest of Caton and his sons. Twenty
men, led by the county magistrate,
went to Caton’s house. On arriviug there
they met with resistance, whereupon they
tired upon them, shooting Mose Caton in
the ankle and John Caton through the
lung. Caton’s daughter Anuie, in at
tempting to shield her father by passing
between him and the posse, was shot in
the abdomen. Squire Lilly Anally stopped
firlntr. and asked Caton to surrender. He
ivould not, and they told him they would
buru the house down and kill him. He
then decided to give up. Squire Lilly
started off with his prisoners—Mose
Caton, Wesley Caton, John Caton,
Tom Caton and Joseph E. Fritz —
and landed them safely in jail at Morgan
ville. John and Annie are both badly
wounded. An attempt was made to take
them away from the Squire and posse and
lynch them while on their way to Morgan
ville last night, which was unsuccessful,
but it is the talk of Union county that the
villains must swing to-night.
A COBBTOWN TRAGEDY.
A Family Misunderstanding Causes a
Murder—A Broken Neck from a Fall.
Darien, Ga., Feb. 27. —Information has
just reached here that on Saturday last
Cobbtown, in Tattnall county, was the
scene of a double killing. Ben Collins and
Ratio Cobb were seated double on a horse,
when one William Holland caught tffe
horse by the tail and gave him a kick
which caused the animal to jump, throw
ing both riders, Cobb fell on his head,
breakiug his neck. Ben Collins got up,
and with a piece of scantling killed Steve
Collins, with whom be had immediately
engaged in a quarrel concerning some
misunderstanding between the ladies of
the two families. Wesley Cobb, the father
of Ratio Cobb, who is now here, says he
will pay a reward of SIOO for the appre
hension of Ben Collius, who at once fled
the country.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
A Committee Substitute for the River
and Harbor Bill Passes the House Un
der a Suspension of the Rules.
Washington. Feb. 27.—The Senate
took up the naval appropriation bill and
its reading was proceeded with.
At 1 o’clock the unfinished business,
being the anti-silver coinage bill, was
laid before the Senate, but was tem
porarily laid aside and consideration of
the naval bill was continued.
In the ilisiMis'O n on the bill Mr. McPherson
favored the building of larger cruisers than
were provided for, and on the suggestion of
Mr. Miller, of California, without obj ction
bv Mr. Hale, the limit of maximum tonnage
for the two new cruisers recommeuded hr the
Senate Committee was made 5,000 instead of
4,000 tons.
An amendment offered by Mr. Ilale was
agreed to, appropriating $112,000 for the pur
chase of Ericsson’s torpedo boat Destrover.
With this exception the hill was then passed
substantially as reported from the Senate
Committee on Appropriations.
At 2:15 p.m. the Senate went into execu
tive session. At 3:40 p. m. the doors were re
opened ami legislative business proceeded
with.
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, moved to re
sume consideration of the House bill limiting
the tune for the presentation of claims against
the United States.
Mr. Morrill called for the regular order, be
ing the trade dollar bill. Mr. Morrill said
that "after demonstrations made elsewhere”
there was no probability that the section re
pealing the standard dollar coinage act would
been me a law. He thought, therefore, it
would he well to take a Vote on that section
without debate, and then the Senate could
dispose of the trade dollar bill as it might
choose.
Mr. Cameron’s motion was agreed to— ay. s
34, nays 21— but the claims bill was tempo
rarily laid aside and a number of pension
bills were disposed of.
The House substitute for the river and har
bor mil, appropriating a gross sum, was laid
before the Senate, anu having been read once
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, objected to its
second reading, so the bill lies on the table,
not having been referred to the committee.
Mr. Morgan asked unanimous consent to
take up tiie bill for the relief of Letitia Tyler
Semple, daughter of the late President Tyler.
The bill would give her a pension of SSO" per
month. The lady named, Mr. Morgan said,
is now blind aud dependent upon the charity
of W. W, Corcoran, iu the city of Washing
ton.
Mr. Kiddleberger objected, as he saw no
reason for pensioning President’s daughtets.
Mr. Cockrell a(so objected. He thought it
a crime agvinst the people to pass such bills.
It was the beginning of a civil pension list.
Mr. Morgan cited instances of Presidents’
widows au*i daughters who had received pen
sions. He thought it would gratify the peo
ple of the United States to provide for this
poor blind lady, a lady who, in her dav, had
been the lady ot the White House, and had
filled that place with credit to the people of
the country. The vote on tne bill resulted—
yeas 11, nays 17. No quorum haviug voted,
no decision was reached.
The Senate then, utti p. m., adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House, on motion of Mr. Dibrell, the
Senate joint re.-olution was passed author
izing the Secretaries of War and Navv to loan
certaiu flags and hunting to the Committee
on Inauguration Ceremonies.
Mr. Keagau asked unanimous conseut to
take front the Speaker’s table the inler-State
commerce bill for the purpose of non-concur
ring in the Senate amendments thereto, but
Mr. Kean objected.
Mr. Rosecrans, from the Committee on Mili
tary Affairs, reported the bill for the retire
ment of Gen. H. G. B right with the rank of
Major General.
Placed on the priv. te calendar.
As the regular order ol business the House
proceeded to a further consideration of the
Sunday civil appropriation bill.
Mr. Horr, ol Mulligan, offered an amend
ment providing that the money appropriated
to aid tiie Neiv Orleans Exposition shall be
used, first, in payment of tne indebtedness
now outstanding of the exposition which is
due to persons living outsideof Louisiana, in
cluding debts to foreigners or foreign nations,
and such as are due to States and Territorias;
and second, in payment of all premiums
awarded by the exposition. Adopted—yeas
2ufi, nays 58.
Mr. Potter then moved to strike out the en
tire clause and tiie motion was lost—yeas 122,
nays JSS).
Mr. White, of Kentucky, demanded the
reading of the engrossed bill.
A short debate arose as to whether it was
necessary that the engrossed bill should be
read, the practice of tiie House being to have
the bill read a third time by title, without its
having been engrossed.
The Speaker expressed some donbt upon
the question, but made no decision, as Mr.
Randall informed the House that ho had
taken the precaution to have tiie bill en
grossed in advance. He moved, however, to
suspend the rules so auto dispense with the
requirement of having the bill read at length.
Mr. Randall’s motion was nureed to —yeas
224, nays 54—and a third reading of the bill
was dispensed with. The bill was then
passed—yeas 168, nays P'7.
The Senate amendments to the legislative
appropriation bill were non-concurned in,
and Messrs. Holman, Hancock and Cannon
were appointed conferees.
Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, moved to suspend
the rules and put upon its passage the bill
appropriating $5,(00,000 to be expended under
direction and with the approval of the
Secretary of War for the continuation and
completion of works designated in the last
riv#r aud harlor law.
Mr. Willis briefly explained that it had
been thought best not to allow the present
works of the government to go to waste and
ruin on account of the lack of appropriations.
For this reason he had, after consultation
with a number of gentlemen, brought in a bill
appropriating $5,000,000, or one-sevcntli of the
amouut which the corps of engineers had
stated could be profitably expended during
the ensuing year. The bill was submitted as
a compromise, because he knew that a discus
sion of the regular bill would consume valua
ble time and might endanger the passage of
other appropriation bills and cause an extra
session.
After some debate the motion was agreed
to and the bill passed—veas 100, nays 88.
Mr. Turner, of Georgia, called up the con
tested election case from North Carolina, in
which the prhna facie right of T. C. Skinner
to the seat is involved, but the House refused
to consider it.
The Committee on Appropriations reported
the post office appropriation bill with the
Senate amendments, with a report recom
mending concurrence in some and non-con
currence in others of those amendments.
In order to prevent Mr. Turner calling ut>
any contested election case the Republicans
demanded a separate vote on each amend
ment, and though the recommendations ol' the
Appropriations Committee were in each case
agreed to (the clause relative to ocean trans
portation was not reached), they consumed
time till 5 o’clock, when a receSs was taken
until 8 p. m„ the evening session to be for the
consideration of pen ion bills.
The House at its evening session passed 30
pension bills, and at 10:20 p. m. adjourned.
CONFIRMED.
The Senate in executive session to-day con
firmed the following nominations: George U
Craig to be United States District Attorney
for the Northern and Middle Districts of Ala
bama. and Wm. S. Scruggs, of Georgia, to he
Minister Pieuipotenary to the United States
of Colombia.
TWO MORE REVENUE DISTRICTS.
The President has directed that the number
of internal revenue disiricts in the State of
North Carolina be increased from two to
three, to be numbered Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth districts. Isaac J. Y’oung has been
designated as Collector or the Fourth district,
and Thomas N. Cooper as Collector of the
Sixth district, It is not expected that the
vacancy in the Fifth district will be filled
during the present administration.
A SMALL REDUCTION FOR FEBRUARY.
Owing to tne heavy payments from the pub

there will be but a small reduction of the
public debt for February.

The Secretary of War Opposed to Creat
ing the Office of Assistant Chief for
Lieut. Greely,
Washington, Feb. 27.—The Senate
bill introduced by Mr. Dawes to create
the office of Assistant Chief Signal Offi
cer, the design of which was to provide
for the promotion of Lieut. Greely, hav
ing been referred by tne Military Com
mittee to the Secretary of War, the latter
has made a reply recommending that the
bill be not passed. The Secretary says:
It lias never been suggesteil to me that the
office of Assistant Chief Signal Officer is
needed for the public service in any aspect,
and it it shall be thought otherwise 1 urge
that the effice be made a civil office. No rea
son occurs tome why the incumbent perform
ing its duties should have a life tenure or be
a Colonel rattier than any similar official in
auotlier department. He would never be
called upon to perform any military
duties pertaining to the office of
Colonel, und his illness to perform
such duties would be a consideration of no
value in selecting him. If such an employe
of the government is to lie made Colonel, with
a life tenure and other incidents of such mili
tary office, the same reasons would make
Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Majors and
Captains of the professors of (he Signal Ser
vice; professor of electrical science, pro
fessor of meteorology, junior professors,
bibliographer and translator, meteorologist
and physicist, and expert editor and proof
reader, now assisting in the couUuet of the
bureau and of other similar officers
in other scientific bureaus of the
government, it is myview that the Signal
Service Bureau should he purely civil, and
that whatever of a military or permanent
tenure is now in it should be eliminated as
soon as may tie, with due consideration to
whatever may be of public obligation to the
present incumbents of military offices with a
life tenure, and consequently that no new
offices of that character should be created.
While upon this general subject attention
may also be called to the fact that under the
present system the Bureau of the Chief Sig
nal Officer, for no good reason, is alone ex
cepted from the operation of the civil service
act. By far the largest part of its clerical
force in the citv of Wa*hiugton are called en
listed men and are so treated by law, and they
enter the service by personal selection of its
chief or Ids immediate suliordinates, but they
periorm the same functions as any other bu
reaus of the War Department, and of all
other departments, which are performed by
men certified by the Civil Service Com mission
Under the law aqd regulations of the Presi
dent. This Is an anomaly for the existence of
which no good is apparent.

bers Vote Against the Government—
A Lesson to be Taught.
London, Feb. 27.—The House ol Lords
to-night adopted the Marquis of Salis
bury’s motion of censure by a vote of 189
to 68.
The House of Commons rejected Sir
Stafford Northcote’s censure motion by a
vote of 302 to 288.
Lord H.trtinzton, the Secretary for War,
said that whether the government was or was
not defeated on the finding, the motion for
expedition in the suppression of the Mahdi’s
revolt would be continued. It was due to
India to show the vast Mohammedan popula
tion of that country that Engla* and could not
be made to retire before the Mahdi’s fanati
cal hordes. The government aohered to its
pledges and would not leave the Soudan until
its objects had t>een accomplished. Therai'-
road irom Suakiu to Berber, he said, would
be used for commercial as well as military
purposes.
The amendment lo the censure motion of
fered by John Morley (Liberal) in favor of the
evacuation of the Soudan was rejected by a
vote of 455 to 112.
Lord George Hamilton’s amendment to Mr.
Morley’s motion to the effect that the govern
ment had failed to indicate a policy justifying
the confidence of Parliament or of the coun
try was rejected by a vote of 299 to 277. All
of the Irish members voted against the gov
ernment.
The government’s majority of 14 in the divi
sion on the censure motion iu the House of
Commons last night, has disappointed the
Conservatives. It is the lowest majority the
government has ever obtained upon any im
portant question since, it entered office. The
Conservative vote, which is nominally esti
mated at 245, was increased to 288 by the votes
of Mr. Goschen and oilier Whigs, and 24 Irish
members. The Peace Radicals supported the
government. The excitement became intense
toward the end of the debate when it trans
pired that a section of the Whigs an l Parnel
lites had decided to vote against the govern
ment. The report led a number of hesitating
Radicals to vote against the censure motion,
thus saving tiie government from defeat.
This evening Henry Labouchere gave notice
that he would move that the House regrets
that the militia has been embodied, because it
indicates a resolution on the part of Her Ma
jesty’s government to interfere in the Boudan
by force of arms.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Conservative, re
suming debate on the ce* sure motion, ridi
culed the idea of evacuating the Soudan and
treating with the Mahdi, after the experience
of restoring Cetewayo in Zululand, and laid
particular stress upon what he termed the
“vague statements of the government” wiih
regard to the present situation.
Mr. Leonard H. Courtney, advanced Libe
ral, followed in a similar strain.
Lord Fitzinaurice then spoke in defense of
the government. He stated in reference to
the Italian occupation on the Red Sea coast
that Italy last November asked the English
Government if it wat opposed to Italian
jurisdiction over Massowah.
Earl Granville replied that England w*ould
welcome il, but that the matter rested be
tween Italy and Turkey.
Lord Fitzinaurice said that although no
definite understanding existed, the rel'aiions
of England and Italy were those of closest
friendship. He looked forward to the time
when a stable government wouid lie estab
lished in the Soudan and thought that when
the Suakin and Berber Hailwav had been
completed the country would have a great
future.
Mr. Labouchere spoke in favor of Mr. Mor
ley’s amendment, and criticized Gen. Wolee
ley’s operations in tiie Soudan. He said he
would rather have Sfr. Gladstone in office
than the Marquis of Salisbury.
Mr. Forster said that Gen. Gordon’s spirit
would have revolted at the idea of a party
struggle over his sufferii gs. If government
'smashed the Mahdi, who would be put in his
place? Mr. Forster said he was opposed to
Mr. Morley’s amendment, but was unable to
express confidence in the government. It
was manifest that there had been two par
ties in tiie Cabinet on the Egyptian question.
The policy of vacillation was likely to con
tinue an*l he would therefore
support the motion for a vote
of censure. Lord Hartington, in his
speech, f ai'l that no doubt the present policy
would be followed, whichever party was in
power. Perhaps the government was wrong
in sending Geu. Gordon to Khartoum, but
public opinion had protested against the
abandonment of the garrisons in Soudan. He
believed the House of Commons would not
support the policy of undertaking the gov
ernment of New India in the heart of Africa.
All confidence between the government and
its military advisers would end if the sovern
ment were compelled to infoim the House of
Hie precise measures adopted for the Egyptian
campaign.
The Neu savs it is possible that the gov
ernment may resign, but it thinks the proper
course for the government will be to end the
present session as speedily a* possible bv
passing the redistribution of seats and the
registration bills, and appear before new
constituencies in November. Tbe Cabinet
will hold a counsel to-day to censider what
course to pursue.
T lie Standard, commenting on the small
majority by which the government escaped a
vote of censure, says that the Cabinet is bank
rupt in influence and that Gladstone has re
ceived a severe lesson.

Active,
London, Feb. 27.—A dispatch from
Korti, of yesterday’s date, states that
Gen. Sir Redvers Buller, with his whole
command, has reached within a day’s
march of Gakdul wells. The retreat front
Abu Klea, where he had beeti intrenched,
was effected without the loss of a single
man. The sick and wounded of his col
umn are doing well, He is expected to
reach Korti next w T eek,
Telegrams from Korti announce that
Gen. Buller reached Gakdul wells with
his entire force yesterday.

abandoned, the whole force retiring to
Korti.
Gen. Stephenson was insulted on the
street in Cairo yesterday by an Arab.
The General went to the police station to
lodge a complaint against the Arab, and
was brusquely received, the officer on
duty pretending not to know the General.

feating Osman Digna, will come to Cairo
or Alexandria in order to avoid the risks
of the hot weather.
In the House of Commons last evening
Mr. Gladstone stated that no alliance or
plan of military co-operation had been
for men between England and Italy.
A dispatch from Korti says that ma
rauders still infest the hills between here
and Gakdul, but it is not expected that
they can muster sufficient force to attack
Gen. Buller.
Suakin, Feb. 27.—The act'vity of the
rebels for the last two nights has been
great and effective. They have succeeded
in wrecking three advanced redoubts, and
they managed to do this without explod
ing the mines which the naval brigade
and engineers had prepared in each one
of them. The rebels moved 3,00 Q of the
sand bags and caused much damage.
NEAL RESPITED.

Lease of Life.
Grayson, Ky., Feb. 27.—About 2
o’clock this morning William Neal re
ceived a telegram from acting Gov.
Hindman granting him a respite for
thirty days. Sheriff Armstrong doubted
the authority of the telegram at first and

begged the Sheriff to save Neal’s life.
The guards were aroused and
in a few minutes after
the reception of the telegram Neal, ac
companied by a heavy escort, started for
the Eastern Kentucky junction to catch
the train for Mount Sterling. The matter
was kept quiet till Ba. m. to-day. When
it became known much indignation was
expressed by the people, and but a few
expressed satisfaction. A large crowd
bad gathered here to witness the banging.
Neal was overjoyed at the reception of
the news.
Lexington. Ky., Feb. 27.—The respite
of William Neal, the last of the Ashland

THE SWISS ANARCHISTS.
Wholesale Arrests on Account of Dyna
mite Blots Against the Government.
Berne, Feb. 27.—1n consequence of the
adoption, in the Federal Assembly, of the
resolution to expel Anarchists from
Switzerland, the police made a descent
early this morning on the abodes of sus
pected persons. Wholesale arrests were
made, many persons being taken from
bed. In this city ten well-known Anarch
ists were taken into custody.
Later developments seem to Indicate
that the general police raid upon the An
archists throughout. Switzerland early
this morning was not due simply to the
anti-Socialist legislation undertaken
within the past few days, but was rather
precipitated by the fact that the Federal
Council has received positive information
of a desperate dynamite conspiracv, and
for some time past extraordinary precau
tions have been taken to protect the Fed
eral palace. These were induced by ap
prehensions on the part of the government
officials that a dynamite outrage would be
attempted for its destruction. It was be
lieved that the action of the Swiss Gov
ernment in expelling certain Anarchists
Irom the country had so angered the con
freres of these red-handed gentry who had
escaped expulsion that they would at
tempt to take swift vengeance by some
frightful outrage. These apprehensions,
as the event proves, wer fully justified.
The Federal Council has at last succeed
ed in securing incontrovertible evidence
of the existence of such a plot as had been
feared. This plot, as was anticipated,
was directed against the Federal palace,
and provided for the explosion of that
structure by dynamite.
Arrests of Anarchists continued to be
made throughout the day. Up to early
this evening 13 had been seized, in addi
tion to the 10 who were taken in the
morning raid.
By what means the conspiracy was un
earthed is not yet known, but the Federal
Council have full and complete particu
lars. The plot was prepared with a pier
feet mastery of every element likely to
contribute to its success, and every
minute detail was arranged and provided
for with cold-blooded precision. How
many persons were implicated in the con
spiracy has not yet transpired, but
enough is known to indicate that foreign
Anarchists were not the only persons en-
gaged in it. In addition to them, several
citizens of Switzerland are involved.
The authorities are fullv alive to the
gravity of the situation. Orders for the
arrest of persons believed to be involved
in the conspiracy were promptly issued
as soon as the Council understood the
purport of the knowledge that had been
gained. Twenty persons have already
been taken into custody. Among them
are several women. Arrests were made
not only in this city, but also at Zurich,
Saint Gaill and other centres. More
arrests will doubtless follow and the
government, it is believed, will proceed
vigorously with its efforts to prevent
Switzerland from continuing to be the
stamping ground of red revolutionists.
FRANCO-CHINESE TROUBLES.
The French Charter an Inman Steamer—
Annoyed with England.
Paris, Feb. 27.—The government has
chartered the steamer City of Paris, of the
Inman line, for transport service to China.
The French torpedo boats which, at
Sheipoo, on Feb. 15, sank two Chinese war
vessels and caused the loss of several
hundred lives, it transpires were of Eng
lish build. The British authorities at
first declined to allow the transfer of
these torpedo boats to the French, for
fear of violating the international comitv
existing between Chi:ia and Grea’t
Britain, but finally yielded.
The announcement made in the British
House of Commons yesterday evening by
Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, Under Secre
tary for the Foreign Department, that
France had been notified by England that
she could not assent to France’s declara
tion against rice as contraband of war in
China is proving very annoying to the
French Government. It is believed that
the attitude taken by the British Govern
ment in this matter will produce a tension
in the relations between France and Eng
land.

THE SITUATION <i UOAVING SERI
OUS AT PHILADELPHIA.
Five Hundred Policemen Required to
Protect a Non-Union Workman—A
Proclamation from the Chief of Police
Urging Derisive Measures to Stamp
Out the Disorder.
Philadelphia, Feb. 27.—The riotous
scenes in the Kensington carpet mill dis
trict were repeated to-night. The crowd
of spectators, which before has never ex
ceeded 0,000 people, was Increased to
10,000 to-night. The Mayor had deter
mined to break up the riots, and nearly 500
officers were sent to the scene of the dis
turbance. Mayor Smith and (Jhiei of Po
lice Stewart were both present. When
the first detail of officers arrived at Lee
dom's mill It found the street packed
with people. After the other detachments
arrived a double line was formed, and,
working each way, they forced the crowd
back lor a square on each side of the mill.
Asa detail was being posted at each
end of the street thus cleared, a crowd of
men broke through the lines aud at
tempted to reach the mill door Irom which
Cameron, the loom fixer, was expected to
come. The police, with drawu clubs,
charged on the crowd and succeeded in
forcing them back beyond the lines. Dur
ing this encounter many persons were
clubbed, ami five arrests were made.
Shortly after 5 o’clock, five special offi
cers who were in citizens’ dress drew up
to the mill and Cameron, ruuning quickly
down the steps, mingled with them. They
sauntered down Howard street with Cam
eron a short distance ahead, their object
being to deceive the crowd. They were
successful only as far as the police were
concerned, for when the line of polidemen
at Dauphin street was reached, several
officers rushed upon the specials and their
charge and were about clubbiug them
back wben they succeeded in making
themselves known.
Wben Cameron and his escort reached
Otis street the crowd was so dense that
the police patrol wagon Uad to be driven
down the street to opeu a passage way.
Several snow hails were thrown during
the march to Cameron’s house, but the
loom fixer was escorted to his home with
out further molestation.
THE SITUATION GROWING SERIOUS.
This afternoon the strikers sent com
mittees to all the railroad depots to inter
cept workmen coming from Eastern cities
and persuade them not to go to work at
ihe carpet mills here.
The Chief of Police lias Issued a
proclamation declaring that the gravity
of the situation calls for stern and deci
sive action, and quick and effective efforts
must be made to stamp out the disorder
before it gains further headway.
Trouble was anticipated at Joseph Tay
lor’s mill at Howard street and Mont
gomery avenue, where two non-union
bauds are working, and one hundred offi
cers were posted there. A large crowd
gathered, but with the exception of con
siderable noise no outburst was at
tempted.
Carson’s mill at Trenton avenue and
Huntingdon street was also guarded by a
detachment of officers. There were no
disturbances to-night in the Manvunk
district, where three arrests were made
last nisrht for assaults upon non-union
employes of Scofield’s mill. A crowd of
t-sOO to 1,000 persons congregated there
between 5 and 6 o’clock
in anticipation ol a repetition of last
night’s riotous proceedings, but the pro
prietor of the mill had taken the precau
tion of closing the establishment an hour
earlier than the usual time, and all the
employes had reached their homes before
the sympathizers oi the strikers had ar
rived at the mill. The crowd, upon dis
covering this fact, reiiaiiied from any
demonstration, and retired '".d-humored
ly when ordered to di- pers : by the po
lice.
The employes ol Monta: in White
have quit work. They pay only 4% cents
per yard, but Lave Duckworth looms,
with which the weaver can gain a day’s
time in weaving a roll of carpet.
Information was brought to tne Knights
of Labor that Montague was interested in
bringing Eastern weavers here, and tho
Executive Committee of the order put the
hands on a strike.
The Weavers’ Executive Committee
have had 2,000 circulars printed, which
they forwarded to Lowell, Mass., for cir.
culation among the weavers there. The
circular reads:
Winters of Lowell: The strike among the
carpet weavers iu Philadelphia is still going
on. Keep away.
It is signed by a committee of eight
members of the order. It is net likely
that any more Eastern people will arrive,
as they, on investigation, find matters as
bad here as they are at their home.
Friendship Assembly, which is com
posed of weavers, met this afternoon and
denounced the disorderly proceedings in
the mill districts as being injurious to the
ultimate success of their strike. A mo
tion was passed requesting all union
weavers to keep away from the scenes of
the riot.

of Wages.
St. Louis, Feb. 27.—A Moberly (Mo.)
