IN THE HOUSE. After the reading of the journal, the House took up the special order, the mo tion of Mr. Quatles to reconsider the vote by which the bill to increase the salary bill was defeated, and to lay that motion on the table. Mr. Brown explained, by permission, that the friends and opponents of the bill had agreed to the reconsideration of the question, that the bill might lie amended to make the law operative after the next general election. Mr. Quarles obtained consent of the House to the withdrawal of his motion to table the vote to reconsider. Mr. Brewer stated that his position on this question was not in antagonism to the increase in the salary, but to the idea of increasing a salary during the incumbency of the official, and when the bill was amended as proposed, he would vote for it. The amendment of Mr. Quarles to fix the time of the law going into effect after the next general election, was adopted. The bill was read a third time and passed—yeas til, nays 31.

Long before the hour fixed for balloting arrived, it was quietly spread around the capitol building that Governor VY'atts ami Com missioner Kolb would he withdrawn from the Senatorial race and the joint session would elect, at its sitting, either Mr. Pugh or Mr. Seay. The truth of the rumor was evidenced by the fact that, there was au unusual ac tivity among the workers, and every min ute up to the time of opening the joint session was spent in work. When the roll call was commenced, the Watts men of the Senate wheeled into the Pugh line— and all the men who hail ever voted for Kolb, except Messrs. NeSmith and Smith, ot Mobile, went in their company. When the House roll was commenced, it was found that the Kolb men early in the call preferred . , Mr. Pugh to Mr. Seay, Speaker Clements special j leading off for Pugh, followed by Mr. Adams. The first Kolb man to go for Mr. Seay was Mr. Bain, w ho was followed by Mi Ars. Bevins aud Bishop, Davis of Fay ette, Parks, Peacock, Townsend of Lime stone. and Wilson. Mr. Guthrie, who never voted before in an open ballot, but who was a Kolb man, voted for Governor Seay. The only Watts man who voted for Mr. Seay was Mr. Webb. Those who have heretofore been voting for Mr. Seay, and voted otherwise today, were Messrs. Ilayes, changed after last night, and j ulie roll call, Foster and Sullivan, n the bearers of j anti-Allianee victory. He did not claim it as a viclory over any particular men or or ganization. It was au evidence that the Democrats of Alabama want an organized Democrat to represent them in the Senate of the United States.

London, November 28.-—In the House ot Commons today. W. H. Smith, Govern ment leader, moved that the Government business be given priority until the Christ mas holidays. It was proposed, he said, to bring up the Irish land bill for its second reading on Tuesday next. This announcement brought a chorus of “Ohs." from the opposition. I jibouehere protested that the rights of private members were being wrenced away from them. Gladstone insisted that the opposition was entited to demand a further ami fuller statement of the Government's proposed course of action regarding the time of the House after the Christmas hob ays. After further debate. Smith’s motion was carried by a vote of 223 to 175.

New Orleans, November 2S.—A dis patch from Bayou Sara says: When the fire on the steamboat T. P. Leathers was discovered yesterday, the boat was in mid stream under full headway. She was at once headed for Point Breeze landing, op posite Fort Adams, Miss. People gathered on the front deck so as to be as near the shore as possible, and waited there as long as possible while the steamer was being driven in under full steam. As the boat neared the bank, those of the rousters who could swim began to jump into the river, and before the boat was within a hun dred yards of the hank the water around her was black with struggling men. The officers of the boat stood to their post and did all they couid to prevent the frightened passengers from jumping into the river. When the boat got within a few hundred feet of the bank, even the fore-deck became so hot that it was impos sible to stay there, aud all on board were compelled to jump for their lives. Most of them were provided with life-preservers and it is believed all of those who waited until the last minute to jump got safely to shore. One white deck passenger, un known, and four colored members of the crew, were drowned. So far as known everybody else escaped. tives, and tht Assembly was called to order by President Ha rgrove. The roils of the two houses were called and 31 Senators and 98 Representatives answered to the roll call. Mr. Screws rose and in a well-timed ard complimentary speech withdrew the name of ex-Gov. Watts. Mr. Adams withdrew the name of Hon. R. F. Kolb. The ballot resulted: Pugh 90. Seay 39. The Senators voting for Mr. Pugh were: Hargrove, Berry, Block, Compton, Davie, Grant, Godfrey, Haralson, Hayes, Inzer, Miller, Parker.

He favored increas ing the active circulation to $2,000,000,000 thus giving more and cheaper money. Mr. Adams—That is what the farmers want. Mr. Pugh stated that he knew lull well the needs of the farming classes ami would do everything in his power for their relief. He complimented the farmers and endorsed organization in their ranks for their ad vancement as a class; bill he cautioned them against arraying themselves in aiitag onism to the Democratic parly. Mr. Adams—The history of the organ ization shows that they have not done th. t. Mr. Pugh then stated that lie would go on .Monday to Washington to be present at the roll call, lie told the General As sembly that the Force bill would come up during the session, and he wauled to he there to fight it. Mr. Pugh outlined the history of the bill, and then explained the methods which the Democrats will use to prevent its consideration. He pronounced the present condition of the X itional Democratic party to lx* very good, and its prospects very bright. The late elections were in many cases the re- i suit of local lights, and the great Demo cratic victories cannot be taken as index as i to what will be the result in 1892, hut he | week iias been one was hopeful that in 18112, 7.00(),lK)0 Demo- 1 the iron trade, cratic voters would march to the poll elect a Democratic President. In conclusion lie pointed to the bright outlook aiieail for Alabama if the people of the State were left alone to manage their own affairs, ami ended by thanking the General Assembly for the honor con ferred on him by electing him for another term of six years. The business of the joint Session having been accomplished, the Senate retired to its chamber, amt the House resumed the consideration of its business. position of others to economize in view of the extensively reported advance in prices. Meanwhile, speculation has been reviving to an unhealthy extent in some directions, oil the theory that the troubles i re over ami things will improve. The money markets are thus loaded with an increased demand for carrying securities ami products at a time when trade especially needs more liberal supplies. At most of the in terior markets money grows more strin gent, ami the scarcity begins to affect trade at important centers, though the volume of business is still very large. Money is quiet at Pittsburg at ti to 7c, but Bessemer steel is 50c lower and the demand tor finished iron is smaller. Southern reports are less encouraging. Money is in sharp de mand at New Orleans, the movement of su gar being unprecedented; exceedingly tight at .Savannah, with commercial prospects less bright; more timid at Atlanta, ami in W -stern Florida the short crop ami the embarrassments of merchants cloud pros pects. But at Baltimore money is easy, manufactures-active, and the retail trade improved, though the jobbing trade slackens. The set back in wool at Boston averages 1 cent less on detaines and comb ing', but more on other kinds. Woolen manufacturers have lost hope of obtaining belter prices for goods. Cot'oil manufac ture is fairly maintained. The un- oertaity in the boot and shoe trade, on account of the reaction in leather, causes reduced shipments. The if peculiar dullness in i the tone is weaker, and j There is apprehension of forced sales by j some Southern furnaces, and one large transaction at $10 for Gray Forge is re ported nt Birmingham.

Wa-hingion, November 28. — tnal presentation lo the President officers of the Brazilian squadron took place at the White House this afternoon at 1 o'clock. The building had been speci ally decorrted for the occasion. All the rooms were illuminated, the electric lights being used in the Blue parlor for the first time. The full Marine Band was sta tioned in the main corridor, and during th- ceremonies played patriotic and other inspiring airs, prominent among which wa* the Brazilian National hymn, Hail Colum bia, South American dances am! the march, “Pro Palria Ei Gloria,” by Palm. About noon the distinguished visitors met at Secretary Blaine's home, where were gathered Admiral Walker and his aids and representatives of the Depart ment of Slate. An hour was spent in con versation, and at 1 o'clock the party start ed on foot for the Executive Mansion, but a few hundred yards distant. The visitors numbered twenty-five persons. Secretary Blaine and Admiral DeSilviere led the. party, Admiral Walker and Captain Noronha coming next, and the other visitors with the Brazilian Minister bringing up the rear, escorted by the State Department and naval officers. Arriving at the Executive Mansion, the party was shown at once into the Blue room, where were gathered a number of prominent offi-ials of the Government. After the formal ceremonies of presenting to the President the Brazilian commemo rative medals and accompanying letter, and the President’s speech of acknowl edgment, Admiral Walker introduced the Brazilians to the company indivi luailv, and the visitors were escorted to a lunch eon prepared for them in the State dining room. It was alter 3 o'clock when the party separated. The reception given tonight by Presi dent and Mrs. Harrison, in honor of the visiting Brazilian Admiral, was a most notable occasion. It was a full-dress affair and was attended by many persons prominent in political, military and naval circles. The arrangements were most ample and complete, and everything and the and con if there terferenf proposed new affiliations are vcre no chance e by Western 1. railroad alliance •minted upon a l unfriendly gi-l.iiuivs. T in is heard, as a stimulus to speculation, much talk of the passage ot a bill for the free coinage of silver at th)- next session. The Treasury has not been able to give any assistance to the money market dur ing the past week, but has put out $1,500.- (KXl more silver notes, nearly balancing the net withdrawals of $1,$<K)JKH» of other money from circulation.

Chicago, November 28. — Wheat—The difference between December and May ile- livt ries widened as the session advanced, and toward the end Jc was the prevailing charge. In the last few minutes, prices were at their lowest. At the close. May wheat reacted to 101, and December was nominally worth 934c. Corn was firm when wheat was firm, and continued in sympathy when the re verse condition was applicable to the latter eerial. The opening price for May was •744e, and it advanced during the first half hour to 54;.'. The closing quotations were 55J to 55 jc. There was much more [ pulling out of further short lines, how ever, than the covering of those previ ously existing. Local receipts amounted to 155 ear loads. Oats were fairly active for May, but near delivery was neglected. The weakness in other grains, and increased offerings by the longs produced a decline of ;e. The market closed quiet, almost at inside figures, and about the same as on Wednes day. Pork The trading was moderately act ive and the feeling was somewhat unset tled. Prices fluctuated considerably. The opening prices were, made at 2] to 5e de cline. and prices rallied 12^ to 15c. Later, prices gradually receded 15 to 17k', closing at about inside figures. Lard—-A fairly active trade was reported and the feeling was somewhat nervous and unsettled. Prices ruled 2) to 5c higher early in the day, but gradually settled back 5 to 7)e and closed quiet. Short Rib Sides—The trading was mod erately active. Prices ruled 24 to 5e higher early in the day, but later the advance was lost. The market closed steady at. about inside figures. SUN’S COTTON REVIEW. New Y'ork, November 28. Futures opened at ti points decline, closing quiet and steady at 5 to ti points decline from Wednesday's closing prices. The decline today was due mainly to the absence of the sustaining influence which was appa rent Wednesday, namely, the covering of contracts anil manipulation. Liverpool was weak and unsettled, giving no encouragement to the bulls. It was as serted, however, on the floor of the Cotton Exchange that some leading bears had taken advantage of the situation to cover their contracts. Pcrhajn the advance in silver ha<l a supporting influence in later dealings. The weather at the .South was generally reported so severely cold as to prove a serious obstacle to picking. Spot cotton here was dull. who is ruts friend:’ London, November 28.— A dost- friend of Parnell, who declared that Parnell re gards the movement to expel him from the leadership of the Nationalist party as a radical revenge for his support of the royal grants last summer, says that this view of the case can be supported by documentary evidence. This friend considers that the Irish pirty, if resolved into its elements, would have no cohesion. Gladstone, he says, has had his revenge on the man he imprisoned in Kilmainhaim jail and who. later, compelled the Liberal leader to con sider the demands of the Irish people. The meeting against Parnell's leadership, this friend declares, was carefully planned. THANKSGIVING DAY IN BERLIN. Berlin, November 28.—Thanksgiving Day was celebrated here yesterday by 400 Americans, who attended a banquet given at the Kaiserhof.

Co'eman also gave a toast to President Harrison, which was responded to by Rev. Mr. Sherwood, of New Y ork. GUILTY OF ML'UDKK. Marietta.
