Alluding to the receut naval dis- Hay at Pensacola by “5 old wooden hulks Hid a few torpedo boats” he said one of |he vessels, the Brooklyn, took fire, and >hat it took all the balance of them to put he fire out. W .i tbe torpedo boats ad lanced to attack the frigate the latter vas lound to be without electric lights ind was compelled to send up bombs to inable her officers to see the attacking sarty. BRITISH SUBSIDIES. Mr. Hale reminded Mr. Vest that the lascendanev o: the Kugllsh merchant nta |r.ne followed from a policy ol subsidies. Mr. Vest denied this. Subsidies, he said, made no difference. It was iu the construction of iron ships that Knglaud had lound her advantage. Mr. McPherson said the English to-day subsidized a mail line to south America to the extent ol $©6,000. He asked Mr. t est how he would get the trade of South America against such odds. Mr. Vest said he would repeal our iu famous navigation laws. Ho would also reform the tariff and place it on a revenue oasis, so as not to handicap one man for tne advantage of another. THK TRADE RELINQUISHED. Mr. Ingalls iw no reason why the men nf Maine or Massachusetts could not to day build shins and sail them. The lea sed they did not do so was because they couid m.ike more profit on their money in other directions. W# had not lost the cai rying trade ol the world. VVebailie liitquisned it. Great Britain’s carrying trade, statisticians said, did not realize 1 per cent, on the capital invested, one reason not yet men tioned for our small trade with Central and South America, was that, we did not attempt to sell them what they watited lo buy. Other countries off-red better articles at lest price, and what we hail tried to sell them by sample thegoo is lnd not proved equal to the sample. We bad also refused to give Central and Sou h American merchants the credits they needed. MR. COLQUITT’S OPPOSITION. Mr. Colquitt opposed the amendment. Pubsidies, he said, whereobnoxioustothe p ople. They were generally sought not by individuals, but bv graspiug corpora ims. Instead ot leaching business ven tures to relv ou tbeir intrinsic strengh wc were leaching tuem to rely on the govern ment Trade relations were not estab lished by mere mail facilities. The natural order was trade first and maiis afterward. Our present system ot hieh tariff and our navigation laws were woe lully defective methods of securing for eign trade. An average rate of duty of 46 per cent, against imports was Bird for commerce to overcome. THK LABOR TROUBLES. Endless dissertation on that subject in Congress and the press was to the effect that the protective tariff was for tho in terest ot the workingmen, and to enhance their wages. The assiduous efforts of manufacturers iu the interest of work ingrnen did not, however, protect work ingmen from the arrival in this country of European workingmen with their arms snd legs to reduce the wages ol the work ingmen of America. We had not beeu saved by our manufacturers, for whose lienetit the tariff jwas really made, from scenes of tumult, demonstration and rage on tiie part of laboring men, demonstrations now blanching theoheeks and moving the hearts ot our people. Manulacturers seemed to be doing little to re-establish good relations with their working. Tney retir and to their palaces and c .allenged the grateful acknowledge ments of tbeir working people ior what hey, tiie manufacturers, had done iu be tal! of American industry. considered serious. M r. Colquitt regarded the la l or troubles Is more than effervescent. Tnev betok pn il, ho thought, coining strife ,i*d cou 'ulsion. Mr. Colquitt believed tho pro tective tariff was partly responsible for the labor troubles, since tney restricted i:s to our home markets tor our manuiac hire-. The debate closed for the day and arrangem-nt*for a vote at 4 and then at 5 'slock to-day having been successively aside, it was agreed te ore adjournment, that at 3 o’clock to morrow the gen-ral debate on the bill •mould close, leaving to Mr. Plumb an ' in ur to reply to the attacks on the amend ment, and that at 4 o’clock tne vote Humid be takeu on the tqll. At 6 o’clock an executive session ot ten miiniles’dura tion was held, atter which the Senate ad touriied. building at a standstill. lYashlngton lVorkm*-u Ofttrh the In rectum of the Hour. Washington, May 3.—There was a '’fry general suspension of building Here to-day, out there was no evidence of trouble. The men who <iuit. work or are locked out kept off the streets and away r rom the usual planes of work. Wherever wont was in progress in the building trades it was ur.der the eight-hour rule. In gome trail s eight hours wore estab ished some timo ago—among the plaster ers as long ago as last fall. The number td Dion at work was very small com pared with tke usual number. There is almost a universal movement among workmen to enforce the winking card” system, and there are numerous ins'iiuces ol men stopping *mk because men of other trades etu ' eyed on the same jobs were non-union “'*• Another cause for the present dull r s is the scaroity or brick. It is ridenco that the unsettled condition of he labor i|uesiion bus virtually stopped ht undertaking of new building enter 'rises for tho present at least.

C, SINKING Ol*' THE BERTHA LEE. A'l the Fasnsugorv K. cape—Death of Sir*. Markham, of Columbus. Columbus, Ga., May 3.—A telegram was received here this afternoon, stating that the steamer Bertha Lee had sunk Sunday morning at 9 o’clock, a few miles below the narrows, oras commonly called “moccasin’s slew.” As far as known the point where she sang is about 12 miles below lola, Fla., in the Apalachicola l iver. No lives were lost.but further than this little is known, as no particulars of the accident have been received. Cupt. Brockway, of tins city, was in command at the time of the acciiieut, and was only aeting temporarily in the absence of the regular master. The steamer was the property of Capt. B. F. Hall, and was en gaged at. the time of the acci dent in carrying freight nnd passengers for the Central lino ot steamers to Apalachicola. She was a very old craft, but was valued at several thousand dollars, she was to be condemned soon, it is said. As she was on her down trip she had only a few passengers and a slight consignment of freight. The steam er sank in about 30 feet of water and is probably a total loss. All on board es caped without injury. Most of her crew are en route to Columbus on the steamer Ellis. Tne real estate transfers recorded in the Clerk’s office in this city during the month ot April amounted lo $28,005. Airs. Timothy Markham, wile of Tim othy Markham,Treasurer of Muscogee county, died to-day. She was an excel lent lady, and leaves many friends who regret he*- death. The remains of Airs. Randall Jones, who died in Pensacola Saturday, were brought here to-day and interred in our cemetery. She was a former citizen of Columbus and was a very prominent lady. GUARDING AGAINST CHOLERA. The Vessels of the Revenue Marine to l'ntrol the Coast. Washington, May 3.—The Treasury Department is already preparing to meet the possible invasion of the United States by cholera aud yellow fever during the coining summer. In order to assist the local authorities in the maintenance of quarantine against tne introduction of infectious diseases the President has determined to establish, by means of the vessels of the revenue marine, a national patrol of the coast of the United States, so far as it may be practicable under the existing law, and consist-nt with the performance of the other duties confided to that sere vice. The report telegraphed from New York to-day to the effect that Secretary Man ning had resigned, and that August Bel mont had been selected as his successor, is authoritatively denied. It is untrue in both particulars Senator Colquitt made an admirable speech to-day in opposition to the pro posed SBOO,OOO subsidy to the steam shin lines carrying foreign mails. The subsidy will propably be voted into the post office appropriation hilt to-morrow. Senator Brown, who spoke for it last week, will vote for it to-morrow. The House will not agree to it. Continued by the Senate. Washington. May 3.—Tne injunction of secrecy has been removed from a long list of Senatorial confirmations to-day. Among them are J. M. Liddell, Marshal of the Northern district of Mississippi; E. VV. Booker, Collector of Internal Reve nue of Alabama; \V. McLaurin, Receiver of Public Moneys at Jackson, Miss.; P. L.

Washington, May 3. —ln the Sen ate to-day Mr. Dolph offered an amendment to the fortifications appropriations hill appropriating $16,056,- 060 for ihe construction of fortifications and other works of the coast detense in accordance with tiie recommendations ol the hoard ot fortifications or other dr tenses, to bo expended under direction of the Secretary ol War. Mr. Dolph saidii would be seen that this was an important amen intent, intended to commit Congress to recommendation ol a board of for tifications and other defenses, and to make an appropriation for the commencement ot fortifications. Preeiiiption of’ Cublic Lauds. Washington, May 3. In the Senate to-day Mr. Dolph reported from tho Com mittee on Public Lands tbe original bill to repeal all laws orov ding for preemp tion ol public lands, laws allowing entries for timber culture and for other purposes. He said it was desi ned to be offered as a substitute for the bill on the same subject already reported from committee, and lie gave notice that he would at an early day ask tho Senate to take up and consider the measure. Burglary at Adairsville. Adaiksvili.e. Ga..

I FULLER EX TRACTS FROM THE IMPORTAN T DOCUMENT. Grave Importauu* of Liberal Dissen sion* Not Underestimated—Secession on the Irish Policy Declursd * Perfect Babel—Liberalism’s Aim a Speedy Set tlement and Postponement tbe Plan of the Tories. London, May 3.—Premier Gladstone, in his manifesto mentioned last night, also says: “Gentlemen, you have before you a Cabinet determined in its purpose aud with an intelligible plan of its own. 1 see very little else in the political areua either determined or intelligible. 1 will now proceed speak of the state ot things within and without Parliament, and the nature and import of the noxt great step to be taken for the progress of my measure. I speak novy ot the home rule Bill, and leave the land purchase bill to stand on the declaration already made, adding only an expression of regret to find that while the sands are running from the hour glass Irish landlords have given no indi cation of a desire to accept the proposal framed in the spirit of most allowable re gard tor their apprehensions and inter ests. Ido not under-estimate tiie grave importance of the differences ot opinion among the Liberals. Some are inclined to rule the whole question against us. By authority they sav ‘surely such a number of able aud consistent Liberals would not have seceded except in obedience to the imperative dictates ot truth and reason. ******* ONK ADVANTAGE. We have at least the advantage of one voice. Secession, however estimable it may be otherwise, is a perfect Babel on the Irish policy. It is admitted an all hands that social order is the first of all political aims. To secure this in Ireland the Liberals, who are for secession, otter a hundred conflicting remedies, or else no remedies at all. These remarks are as ap plicable to the Tories as they are to the Liberals. The opponents to the government measure make a remarkable omission in their speeches. In each, whether sug gestive orcntieal.they fail to express con fidencein the permanent success ot their opposition. TUB TWO AIMS. To live from hand to mouth seems to be the height ol their ambition, while they suspect what we all know, that the step can ouiy end in the concession of borne rule. If this is so the real question is not the triumph of Irish autonomy, but the length and character of the struggle. Therefore we want to shorten, and they to prolonr, the struggle. We say ‘give freely,’ and they, by acts if not by words, say ‘let us oul’y give what we can no longer withhold.’ “VVe say: ‘Give now while the position of the kierdom in the affairs "f tbe world is free and strong.’ They prefer to wait for a period of national difficulty that we may yield to the Irish demand in terror, as we did in the war of 1778, as we did to tbe demands of the volunteers in 1782, as we did to Bonaparte in 1793, and as we did in the civil war in 1829. AN OPPORTUNE MOVEMENT. “We say act now when moderation of thought and language rules In Irish coun sels, when by the willing concurrence of all sides every arrangement lor reserva tion of tne imperial prerogatives can be made complete and absolute. •‘Tney would postpone till an hour comes when the demands may be larger and ihe means of resistance less. “We say: ‘Deal as with a matter be tween brothers—a matter of justice and reaaon.’ They renew the iale, ulus! too otten told, whoso prologue is denial with exasperation and resentment, whose epi logue is surrender with conditions and wilnont thanks. Now, however, anew terror is brought upon the stage—the ter ror of home rule for Scotland and, some add, ior Wales. NOT ALARMING. “This suggestion does not alarm. Only give us a little tiin-to look at this ques tion in its order ol inert. 1 am not sorry that Scotland and Wales have been named, because ail serious meaning of them serves to help our movement in tie halt of Ireland. 1 can draw no vi'al dis tinction of right between the case of Ire land and other cases, but there are many distinctions of circumstances. Kor many years I have hoped it might be found practicable to apply the decentralizing 1 process, even perhaps to portions ot dil terent conditions. Each case which will naturally require differences of treat ment will remain subject to primary im perial obligations. THE STANDARD OF GOOD GOVERNMENT. “1 believe that the standard and meas ure of good Government in Scotland and Wales will be eventually determined by public opinion In Scotland and VVa'e-i. This 1 say without painful disparaging of the circumstances of this controversy, with which we arc threatened iu case ol i Ireland wh *se wofui history lor centuries embolden -some ot us to treat her as if she had hut a limited share in the great inheritance of human ngnt and none at ail in ordinary privilege or immunity. ******* “I more and more find it vital to observe tbe point st which the divining lines are drawn on the *id>' adverse t<> the govern ment and are found in proiuse abundance, wealth and social influence, s'atiuti, title, and the professions,nr a largo majority ol them—iii * word, Uie spirit and power ol clusx. Nor is this all. CLASS DEPENDENTS. “As the knight* oiold had squires so in the great armv of class eicpF soldier ha* dependents. Lord Hartiugton remind'd us, snd I cordially agree with him that this question, winch may he turned over a thousand ways and placed in a thousand partial Ugbta, can only be settled by the nation. From the first I stated, snd I think 1 may speak for the government at large tbut here is my main and capital chance. 1 rely upon iny colleagues, upon an uprlgnt aud cnllglitcnol llousu of Commons, upon the effect ol free discus, sion, but tbe heart rest, tbu beKinipng and ending of my trust, Is in the wise and generous justice ol the nation.” EDITORIAL criticism. Tbe Halt Matt G >zeUe. commenting on Mr. Gladstone's msnlteto says: “Tbe documeutcontsins h menace to throw tbe land purchase h-ll to the wolves, and promises to r‘-uni'o Ibn Radicals over the body of the Irish land lords.

Tho St. James' Gazette, in Its remarks on tbe msnilesto. sav*: “An old pariia tnentsrian has played ble last card, lie appealed to man's basest and most sordid passions. His flagrant Immorality will SAVANNAH. TUESDAY. MAY I. 1886. unseal the eyes of his most infatuated supporters." A DESPERATE CAUSE The Globe says:“The manifesto suggests ! consciousness of a desperate cause. Mr. j Gladstone will find that his speech and j inuiiilestoes have not charmed the nation j out ol its sense, and they are of no more | avail to stem the rising tide than was Mrs. !\,rtmglou's broom to push back ! the ocean.” The Echo says: “The manifesto sounds ! nolo* ol alarm and defiance, it will not conciliate the Premier’s opponents, but j will tlx and determine the vvaim zeal of ! those whose opinions arc formed. The ! cry of despair in this trumpet call (or ac- 1 tion, and the flinging of defense at tils S foes’ feet, are more signs of conscious | weakness than of strength, it may lie magnificent, but it is not.s‘a*e*manship.’’ THE 8., D. AND W. RAILWAY. How it Is Regarded by Ilarvllle Man. Hakville, Ga., May I I have not as yet seen anything from any person on the line of tbu proposed Savannah, Dublin I and Western railroad expressing the in terest that our people Icel in this great enterprise. It has beer*an exciting topic with no during the last mi mouths. Many have had no confidence iu the suc cess and reality of the mad., while a lew of us have been sanguine. But no*v a day view begins to dawn on all, and every buy in our community can give informa tion on railroad matters from the appli cation for charter to the driving of the silver spike. If we are crazy uimn any subject it is on a railroad through our sec tion. This line will, when built, be iu a most inviting piuce, and it will be the most remunerative road of the same length in Georgia. It will penetrate the finest tunbereil belt, the liest general agri cultural sectious, and the best supplied stuck range in our Sthte. THOCSANDSOF DOLLARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVESTED IN TIMBER for turpentine purposes around llar vilie, in contemplation of having the road in the near future, aud investments are vet being made. Tbe naval store and lum ber business will be immense. Savannah should not hesitate to aid an enterprise that would be such a source of revenue to her. One thing we regret is that the prelim inary lines only touches tbe southern cor ner of our county. II we could have the road through Harville and Excelsior it. would be more to the interest, of our county and the railroad, the curve would b slight, and the freight greatly increas ed, nnd wc would at once tiave railroad towns at Harville and Excelsior in easy reach of Savannah. Tbo present lines • through our country runs parallel with the Uanoocbee river, which has been nav igable for timber manv years, aud the supply b. tweeu the preliminary lines, and the river is comparatively exhausted. Then other freight* ami. passengers are somewhat barred < n the south side bv tne river. We trust that before tbe road ! is finally located the directors of the com- j pany will carefully consider this matter and let us have tho road through the above named places, oras near them as pi acticable. The nearer the eeulre of our county the better lor the road and the people. President. Ltnderman is certa'n- Iv a man of great executive ability. The rapidity with winch he has dis patched business of such magnitude has shown him to be a man of power, and a great headlight in railroad circles. Cuiet engineer Arthur l’ou is also a gentleman of superior anility and untiring energy, and by ms courtesy makes many friends on his'travels through our midst. He is familiar with our country now and knows the most practical route. We have no desire to dictate. What we want is tbe railroad to develop the resources ot our isolated country, and perhaps tbe compa ny’s object, is Hi- shortest line. So let her come anywhere that will give us better facilities than we now enjoy. On this line at, the Ohoopee river we can stand fur ther from a railroad point tha* at any place in our State. Geo.

Chicago, May 3.—The freight denots of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company were early this morn ing surrounded by curious crowds. Among tho number were the striking Weight handlers of the road. Fifteen minutes before 7 o’clock a special train of three passenger coaches and an engine ran into the yards, and fourteen special detectives of the company in citizens clothes ami decorated with stars appealed first, and following them marched 200 men brought iu by the railroad compauy from different points on its Him. They were at once surrounded by strikers who urged them In all manlier of ways not to go to work. There was no wuve’iiig on the part of tbe new men, however, and they entered tho freight houses in a body. The leaders of the strikers seeing that no impression was being made on tbo men. called off the for mer, and alter a few moments’ parleying the entire crowd marched off in a body to the Burlington yards lor consultation, to obtain, possibly, an enlargement of their (orces. A CONFLICT. After a mass meeting of tbe working men this afternoon a conflict took pluoe with tiie police. The meeting was ad dressed by Socialists who had tho matter entirely in their hands. One German speaker particularly inflamed his hearers. He said to Hum: “Quit the Knights of Labor. They will never do you auy good. Join the Central Labor Union whioh will help you to your rights and freedom. Anarchy is tiie only wav for workingmen to break the chains ol slavery in which they are hound by capitalists. It is your only wav to fres dom—freedom, l suy, with revolver in one hand anu your knife in tbe other, and bombs in your pockets. March on to re volution and freedom. Every working man must starve together and eland together, and fight together lor his rights. After this harangue, the mob promptly began tearing up paving stones, anil throwing them at noigbboring houses. ON TO THE REAPER WORKS. Boon, ms with one impulse. 6,000 men started tor McCormick’s reaper works i he workmen attempted to escape, but a few who got outside by the roar doors were driven hack. One poor fellow was caught by th mob aud nearly beaten to death. The works were riddled with mis siles of all kinds. At first only two police were at band, but squads' of others dropped in until 190 were on the spot, and dubs were used vigorously and pistols fired in the air. The mob used pistols liberally, and soon discovering that the policemen’s tiring was harmless received it. only with jeers and scoffing. Then tbe police fired lower and with better results. The mob scattered and McCormick’s workers were escorted beyond Its reach. The riot lasted over two hours. Four wounded rioters were picked up after the battle, and several had previously been clubbed to helplessness and made priso ners, A ROl’E ABOUT HIS NECK. One officer wascaught by the mob away from his companions a rope put around his neck and he wras about to be strung up to a lamp post, when be broke av/ay and reached his friends, it. is n u known that any rioters were killed outriebt, but many were carried from tin field by their friends aud hidden. During tbo even ing a circular printed in Ger man and with an Kuelisn transla tion was distributed broadcast in many sections of t' e city, it opened: “Revenge! Workingmen, to arms. Your masters sent out their bloodhounds, the police. They killed six of your brothers Hi McCormick's this afternoon. They killed the poor wretches because they, like you, had the courage to dishonor tbo supreme will of your bosses.” GRKSHAM'N JURISDICTION. The IVsbaih Itnad Applies for Protec tion of the Courts.

Tho superin tendent refused and severajlhundred min ers went on a strike. TRADE’S PULSE. Two Opinion* or the Out'ook Flxpresaed by M aiiuracturers and llnsliiess Men, Philadelphia, May 3.—Two opinions are expressed by manufacturers and bus iness men aa to the immediate industrial business iuture of tbo country. One that tiie Bor 9 hour day to bo inaugurated will carry away enough capital aud enterprise to precipitate a semi-panic upon the in dustries and business generally. The other is, that the settlement ot labor dis putes, the fixing ol wages and the satis faction that will grow out of the (Reposi tion ot ull vexing questions will strength en confidence, increase Investments and lead to a general improvement iu busi ness. A lew days will tnrow light upon these opinions. Just at present a great deal of uncertainty exists as to the out come. Early in the season it was evident Unit a vast amount of money would be expended In house and manufactory building, in tho extension of plants, and tbe improvement of capacity of all kinds. AT A STANDSTILL. That improvement was begun, but mut ters are now at a standstill in many de partments ot Industry, la the iron trade iui-iii'-sh is only steady, and prices in dined to weakness. Nails have declined 10 cents per keg; bar iron $1 to $2 per tn. Bi-i l rails are a tittle weaker than three mouths ago, and. in general, quotations on iron and steel are u little off, although the consumptive demand is large, considering ail the surrounding uncertainties. Con tracts for 10,000 tons of bridge iron were placed tins week for export. Bridge building con tract* for bridges to be built across the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers will call for between 50,000 and Ou.OOo tons of material this year, and wilt likely be placed in time to impart needed vitality lo the industry. RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION. Railroad construction, so lm ihi* year, foots up 660 miles as against 340 miles at the same time lasi rear. The pipe skelp nulls are crowded with orders. The pig iron production is over3o.ooo tons ahead ol this time lasi year, and stocks are light. The textile manufacturers ol tbe New England anil Middle States are quietly organizing to protect themselves against the invasions of labor, and lar e sums of money tiave l>e*n put up particularly in M iiss'ichusetts and Rhode Island, for the pi>-.ose of throwing a certain percent si ■ of productive capacity idle wfcore strikes lake place, for the double purpose of restricting nroduetion and throwing strikers idle without explanation. TIIK LABOR QUESTION. It In probable that tbe action of tbe New York Chamber of Commerce in glvlug ex pression to its views upon the labor ques tion will lie followed hy Board* ot Trade and Chamber* of Commerce In other cit ies, should the B-linur reduction prove general. Employers are apprehensive that much ot tbe busiuet* waiting to be placed upon the market will ho driven off anil that tbe summer demand will be a dull one. One of the effect* of thin suspension of activity would be n weakening In prices, a curtailment of production and an in crease In the number of failures, which lor several week* have honn declining In number nnd importation. THE COAL TRADE. The anthracite coal trade Is vary aotl ve and employer* are hopeful tbst tbe threatened strike will not take place for eome weeks to com*. Bituminous coal Is vearoe, Is dear in Eastern markets, and the demand for enko ha* increased from 10.0 *) lo 13,000 tons per day. Traveling agents representing Eastern manufacturing interest* in tbe West and Houtb, report fair pro*|iects for tbe sum mer and tall shipment, provided no fur ther Industrial uncertainties arise. Hallway earnings continue light nnd traffic lighter, and confidence iu railway traallne weak. Wool Is declining in value under in creased Importation and uuovrtalntl** a* to the tall demand for woolen and swornted product* S v>RirKkio a year,} < 5 Lh.X In A COPY. ( END OF TIIE lIIG STRIKE.
