A Birmingham, Ala., special says:
The severe cold snap completely ruined
the fruit crop in North Alabama and
killed the well advanced gardens oat
completely. The peach trees had all
bloomed, the strawberries were form

leaf and spring had been announced by
vegetation in every way. Now the fo¬
liage suggests autumn. Many young
trees, almost all of the grapevines and
all of the vegetables are killed out¬
right, as the sap was well up in them.

A Washington dispatch says: The
situation at the white house presents
one strong feature of novelty in the
fact that it appears to be the scene of
a bloodless battle just now between
the congressmen on one hand, the
large majority of whom are urging the
signing of the seigniorage bill, aud
the great commercial institutions of
the country on the other; for twenty
nine out of every thirty of the com¬
munications coming from them pray
for the veto of the bill. The congress¬
men have the advantage of personal
pressure on the field, but the other
side is in evidence in great force in
the enormous number of letters that
burden the presidential mail and of
the telegrams that come so numerously
as to keep the wires hot and the white
house operator occupied to his
full capacity. These communica¬
tions by mail and wire are com¬
ing from all parts of the country
and are not, as might be supposed, al¬
together of eastern origin. For in¬
stance, there were appeals from Cin¬
cinnati, St. Louis, San Francisco and
Salem, Oregon. Virginia has also
joined the line, as was made evident by
protests against the bill from the cot¬
ton factors of Norfolk and the trans
portation interest© there, A very
thoughtful presentation of objections
to the bill has come from Richmond.
Of course, it is manifestly impossible
for the president to read in detail all
of these communications, but they are
carefully examined by Mr. Thurber
and any new point or suggestion on
either side of the case is brought to
the attention of the president. There
are all sorts of stories afloat as to the
president's disposition towards the
bill, and some have gone to the length
of reciting that he has already pre¬
pared a veto measure and that he read
a draft of it to the members of the
cabinet. The subject was discussed at
the meeting from all points of view.
But some of the members intimate
that the president is still open to con¬
viction.

In the house, Tuesday, Patterson, of
Tennessee, called up the contested
election case of O’Neill vs. Joy, from
the eleventh district of Mi.-souri, Mr.
Reed raised the question of considera¬
tion, and the yeas and nays were or¬
dered. The vote resulted yeas 169,
nays 1—seven less than a quorum.
In the house, Wednesday, an order
from the committee on rules was re¬
ported for the immediate consideration
of contested election cases of O’Neill
vs. Joy and of English vs. Htibern,
votes to be taken after two hours de¬
bate in each case. The vote on order¬
ing the previous question was, ayes
164, nays none. Mr. Reed made the
point of no quorum, and the yeas and
nays were ordered. A quorum was
finally obtained, and the previous
question on the O’Neill-Jov contested
election case was ordered.
At 1*2 :25 Thursday, while the roll
of the house was being called on the
contested O’Neill-Joy election case,
Mr. Pruden, the president’s executive
clerk, appeared at the bar of the house
nnd transmitted the president’s special
message vetoing the Bland seignior¬
age bill. As Pruden announced that
he was directed to transmit the mes¬
sage in writing and the president’s
approval of sundry house bills, for
a moment the democrats believed
that possibly Mr. Cleveland had
signed the Bland bill. Members
rushed down the aisles from
all directions and croweded about the
speaker’s desk. Speaker Crisp him¬
self broke the seal. One glance was
enough. “It is a veto,” said he and
word was passed from lip to lip. The
news was received with a mixture of
joy aud sorrow. Few of the eastern
democrats plumed themselves on the
accuracy of their predictions, but to
the vast majority the news of veto was
a severe blow', and their expressions of
disatisfaction in some cases were loud
and emphatic. The republicans seem¬
ed to be greatly eluted at the confus¬
ion and havoc created in the demo¬
cratic camp by the message.
THE .SENATE.
At 12:12 p. m. the senate, as a trib¬
ute of respect to the memory of the
late Senator Alfred H. Colquitt of
Georgia, adjourned till 9 o’Mock Tues¬
day morning, when the funeral cere¬
monies over his remains were to be
held in the senate chamber.
The solemn funeral ceremonies of
the late Senator Colquitt, of Georgia,
were conducted in the senate chamber
Tuesday morning. The hour fixed
was 9 a. m., and promptly at that hour
the vice president took the chair.
Shortly before then the casket con¬
taining the remains, and laden with
wreathes of flowers, had been carried
into the chamber and placed on a bier
in the^area in-front of the clerk’s desk.
In a few""m Afterwards, the offi¬
cials of tho ____ government, whoso
pres¬
ence had been invited, the speaker and
members of the house and cabi¬
net were in their seats. The la¬
dies of the family of the dead senator,
heavily clad in mourning, sat near
the coffin. The services were con¬
ducted by the senate chaplain, Rev.
Mr. Milburn, assisted by the chaplain
of the house of representatives. The
funeral services were conducted by the
blind chaplain in his most solemn and
affecting style. The address was fol¬
lowed by a benediction, and with that,
the simple, solemn ceremonies closed.
The coffin was borne out of the cham¬
ber by a dozen uniformed men of
the capitol police, preceded by
the members of the commit¬
tees appointed by the two houses
to take order for the funeral.
The members of the family, consisting
of the widow, daughters and son, fol¬
lowed ; and then the members of the
cabinet, members of tlie diplomatic
corps, justices of the supreme court,
the speaker and members of the house
of representatives. The immense au
dience which filled the galleries moved
out at the same time, and, as tlie usual
order was restored to the chamber,
Mr. Harris, after consultation with the
vice-president, moved that the senate
adjourn until NVednesday at noon. The
body of the late senator was escorted
from the capitol to the Pennsytva
lice, nia station followed by a squad ol capitol po¬
by the congressional
committee which is to accompany the
remains to their last resting place.
The funeral party left NVashington over
the Richmond and Danville railroad
for Macon, Ga. The home of Mr.
Colquitt is at Atlanta, but almost all
his family sleep in Macon, and he will
be placed beside them in that city.
In the senate NVednesday the bill to
provide for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, introduced by Mr.
Stewart, was laid on the table for the
present. Mr, Dolph introduced a joint
resolution declaring the Clayton-Bul
referred. wer treaty no longer in force. It was
The senate then went into
executive session to consider Florida
nominations.
The pension appropriation bill was
reported to the senate, Thursday, from
appropriation committee. The amount
carried is the same as carried by the
bill as it passed the house. An amend¬
ment making a pension a vested right
was added by the senate committee.
Funeral Services Over Kossuili.
The funeral services over the re¬
mains of Louis Kossuth were held in
the Evangelical church at Turin. The
city was crowded with sightseers and
the streets presented a most remarka
ble appearance, owing to the irn
mense number of Hungarians in
full national costume. The streets
through which the funeral procession
passed were lined by muncipal guards,
and on all sides w^ere to be seen
mourning emblems and crape-draped
flags.

A special from Columbia, S. C.,

Dispatches from Grenada, Duckbill,
Utica and Hazelhurst, Miss., report
that ice, sleet and snow covered tlie
ground Thursday morning, completing
the destruction of all vegetaion that
frost can kill. The loss to truck farms
and orchards is very great. At Duck¬
bill the snowstorm was the heaviest for
years.
The rumored assignment of George
NY. Palmer, the millionaire, of Sult
ville, Ya., is positively denied by those
associated with him in business in
Lynchburg, Ya., and elsewhere. A
private telegram received from Mr.
Palmer says: “I have not made an as¬
signment, nor do I propose to do so.”
The story seems to have originated in
Richmond.

duction of 10 per cent in the wages of
all employes of the Queen and Crescent
railroad, to take effect April 1st, lias

pictures of the Lee family to establish
his identity, and seems w’ell educated.

canvassers is still considering the Izlur

upon by Stokes and heightens the
probability that Izlar will recieve the
certificate.

N ash vine Las tfew&pEV? SS^ther phase.
The grand jury has returned
ments against J. J. Anderson of
Nashville and Freeman NVrjght and P.
O’Connell of St. Louis, for conspiracy

tee investigating the charges of bribery

but the evidence pointed to tlie con¬
clusion that a conspiracy was formed
for that purpose but was not carried
out.
The grand jury of Burry county, N.
C., has returned true bills against nine
of the men who broke into Alleghany
county jail and lynched Dan Slaughter.
Bix of the men thus charged are from
Ashe county, two from Alleghany
county and one from NVilkes county.
Alexander Rose, the captured and
wounded lyncher, has been lorced to
turn state’s evidence, and will be re¬
leased on giving $1,500 bail for his
appearance from court to court, as
the state authorities are bent upon
punishing the lynchers.

States engineer in charge of the jetty
improvements in Charleston harbor,

proaches to Charleston harbor, which

deep water inside the bar. By the sur¬
vey of last December there was a shoal
of one thousand feet in width at the
inner end of the channel and this shoal
has been narrow-ed to about twenty
feet. In December there was a clear
channel of twenty feet and six inches
and in the hew survey there is a clear
channel of twenty-two feet and four
inches.

the late storm which continued a ter¬
rible blizzard for ofer seventy-six
hours without abating. The tempera¬
ture averaged zero and blinding snow
obscured the sky like clouds of dust.
Bnow drifted ten to twenty feet deep
in every direction and all roads were
impassable. The coach took five clays
coming from Clar Mone, thirty miles
distant on the Burlington road. Ranch¬
men from the outside are unable as yet
to reach the city but reports from
stockmen near by show that the loss
stock is terrible.

in Rome, Italy, in international con
ference. These great gatherings of the
medical and scientific rnen of the world

rious unforeseen circumstances this
conference was postponed to the pres¬

great attendance in Berlin in 1S90,
