How the Bill Wits Passed.
, After the reading of the house jour¬
nal Monday, Mr. Mayers offered a joint
resolution extending until the 24th in¬
stant, tho provisions of the joint reso¬
lution carrying forward tho appropria¬
tions upon the basis of those for tho
past year. The joint resolution was
passed. District of Columbia business
was undertaken, but discussion ot tbo
first bill called up was interrupted
by tho introduction of tho ex¬
pected order from the committee on
rules relating to the consideration of
tho tariffbill and cognate measures,
which was proposed by Mr. Cathings

questing a further conference on tho

ferees be discharged from further duty
in connection therewith, and that the
house agree to tho senate amendments
in bulk, which motion shall bo debated
two hours, when tho vote on its adoption
and tho motion shall bo indivisible.
General leave to print on the subject
is given for ten days. Second, that it
ehall bo in order after the introduction
of the order to present in the house
and consider, without reference to any
committee, bills for placing sugar,
ooal, irou ore and barbed wire upon
the free list. Thirty minutes shall bo
given for tho discussion of each bill
and then a vote shall bo taken. Mr.
Catohiugs moved the previous ques¬
tion, and Mr. Heed raised a point of
order against tho resolution, Tho
poiut of order, after a heated discus¬
sion, was overruled by tho speaker.
Tho question then being on agreeing
to the resolution, Mr. Reed demanded
a division. The speaker announced
the vote as 188, three more than a
quorum. Mr. Reed demanded the yeas
and uavs. The house order was adopted
—76 to 97, not voting 11. Upon the an¬
nouncement of the vote Chairman Wil¬
son immediately submitted in writiug
the motion provided for iu the order
Mr. Reed made the point of order
that the bill was not before the house.
The bill had been brought in, how

it would not recover for years to
come.” (Long and continued ap
piauae.) At the close of Mr. Crisp’s
frpt ech there was great noise, - con
fusion and excitement in the hall.
Then Mr. Wilson arose and cor¬
rected a statement ho had made in his
opening speech to the effect that $100,
(M I )( >,000 worth of raw sugar had been
purchased by t£e sugar trust in antici
of the p«w Kft 8 e °f the sugar
schedule of the senate bill. Ho had
been mistaken, he after* burned.
The trust had purchased I Hv’ 1 ' b>ns ’
amounting in dollars and cei .! H
about $25,000,000. In conclusion
Mr. Wilson said this was not a time
for democratic enthusiasm-, It was
plain democratic necessity. But H the
democratic party was to live—-if it
did live—It would not lay down itD
weapons until it had made it irapossD
bio in this country to lay burden* on
one class of our citizens for the e*»
richment of another. Mr. Wilson then
demanded a vote on the resolution.
1 he yeas and nays were ordered and
resulted—-yea* 182, nays 106, present
and not voting, 8. The democrats
who voted against tho motion were
Messrs. Cochran of New York, Gov

Louisiana, Price, of Louisiana, Tam¬

motion. During the afternoon there
were many senators present, and most
of them remained until the bill passed.
Among them were Messrs. Brice, Gray,

Mr. Wilson then immediately rose
and offered the first of tho separate

resolution adopted by the caucus. It
provided for the free admission upon
its passage of bituminous real, shale,
slack and coke. The vote upon the
bill by tellers was 78 to 47. Mr. Reed

The Tradesman, Chattanooga, Tenn., in its
report on the industrial condition of the South
for tho past week says: The week just ended
lias shown a considerable increase in the num¬
ber of newly established industries, indicating
that the rev.val in Southern deve'opement is in
active progress. The prosperous condition of
the farmers and planters, whose large crops
arc not grown this season as in form r years
by means of advances on mot gages, is having a
good effect ou all kinds of business. Cotton
will this vtar bo to a great extent a re-ady
money crop, and the needs of the Southern
people will be suppled with home grown bread
and meat to a greater extent than ever before.

The conference committee of the two
houses concluded the consideration of
the sundry civil appropriation bill late
Tuesday and will report an agreement.
There is a compromise on the senate
amendment for the payment of heirs
of the victims of the Ford theater dis¬
aster, which, however, provides the
necessary appropriation. The same is
true of the amendment for the Atlanta
exposition. The amendment concern¬
ing the donation of 1,000,000 acres of
lands to various arid land stales for tho
encouragement of irrigation remains
in the bill, but iu amended form.
Ii likely that the fate of General
Antonio Ezeta, ex-vice president of
Salvador, who is now a refugee on

Bennington, will be decided by the
courts of California. It is understood
that the state department has come to
the conclusion that the charges which
have been preferred against General
Ezeta and his three companions sre
too serious in their character to be
overlooked, and it has accordingly
issued a preliminary warrant to Dr.
Guzman for their arrest.

A special of Wednesday says: The
house bills putting coal, iron, sugar
aud barbed wire on the free list have
gone to tho senate. No one believes
they will be enacted into laws this ses
sion. The trnth is, it was never in¬
tended by some of tho house members
iliat they should become laws. All
they expect to do is to trade for free
coal. Already senators who are inter¬
ested in iron, sugar and barbed wire
have been approached to trade these
items for freo coal. There is a strong
lobby ia Washington in the inter¬
est of the Nova Beotia syndicate who
are willing to do anything for free
coal. The senators ,say they are will¬
ing to give free coal if the Canadian
government will take the duty of 67
cents per ton off American coal, and
coal will not be put on the free list
unless this is granted. The otates of
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illi¬
nois aud Indiana could, if this were
done, supply all of Canada west of
Toronto with coal at cheaper rates
than the Nova Scotia mines can.

HOUSE AND SENATE.
What Our National Law-Makers are
Doing for the Country.
In the house Monday a joint reeolu
iou was passed extending until the
24th instant, the provisions of the
joint resolution providing appropria¬
tions for public purposes, on the basis
of those for the last year. The sedate
tariff bill was then presented and after
a lengthy discussion wns passed.
The first item of business in the
house Wednesday, after the reading of
the journal, was the announcement by
the speaker that the committee on en¬
rolled bills had reported that the
amended tariff bill had been properly
enrolled and that it had been signed
by the speaker. Several private meas¬
ures definite were passed and half a dozen in¬
leaves of absence granted
to members, all on account of
“sickness” in the family, Mr.
Black, democrat, of Illinois, asked
unanimous consent for the considera¬
tion of the following resolutions:
“Whereas, the balance of available
gold in the United States treasury on
August 1, 1894, had been reduced,
despite the sale of $50,000,000 of gold
bonds, to the sum of $54,975,607, and
whereas, there is in the treasury, un¬
used and available, an amount of silver
equal to $513,880,682 American stand¬
ard coin and value; and whereas, the
Income of the United States doee not
now- equal its expenditures; therefore,
be it resolved, that the committee ou
coinage, weights and measures be direct¬
ed to at once report to the house for its
consideration a bill providing for the
proper use and avail of the said sil¬
ver.” The resolutions were referred.
The second morning hour was given to
the committee on the judiciary.
Chairman Culberson called up the bill
to make any contract hereafter made
for the payment of money in gold, sil¬
ver or coin, payable in any legal ten¬
der of the United States. Considera¬
tion of the bill was interrupted by the
confereence report on the sundry
civil bill. Au agreement was reported.
Among the disputed items the ap¬
propriation of $105,000 for the fami¬
lies of the twenty-one killed at the
Ford’s theater disaster wns stricken
out and a commission njipointed to in¬

THE SENATE.
The senate at Monday’s session went
into executive session for the purpose
of taking action on the Chinese treaty.
After a full discussion of the matter
the treaty was ratified.
As soon as the senate journal was
read Tuesday morning the chief clerk
of the house appeared and delivered a
message, the announcing the passage by
house of the bills to place on the
free list, sugar, bituminous coal, iron
ore and barbed wire. The message
made no allusion to the concurrence
of the house in all the senate amend¬
ments to the tariff bill. When the
vice-president laid before the senate
the free list bills, Mr. Manderson
asked that they be read at length and
objected to the second reading of all
of them. Mr. Hill gave notice of
amendments to each of the bills, pro¬
viding for the repeal of all income
taxes. The senate, at 2:10 p. m., ad¬
journed until Wednesday.
During the routine morning busi¬
ness iu the senate Wednesday the chief
clerk of the house delivered a message
from the house notifying the senate of
the discharge of the house conferees
on the tariff bill, and of the fact that
the house had receded from its
disagreement to the senate amend¬
ments, and further that he (the
clerk) had been directed to pre
sent to the senate for the si g
nature of its president, the enrolled
tariff bill. Within a few minutes af
terwarua tlie vice president announced
that he had signed the tariff bill. Mr.
Quay gave notice that he would offer,
as an amendment to each of the four
bills, putting sugar, r iron ore
and barbed wire on ® free list,
the McKinley tariff bill. Mr. But¬
ler offered a resolution which was
referred, instructing the committee on
interstate commerce to inquire and re¬
port as to the freight and passenger
charges, differential, etc., of the South
ern Steamship and Railway associa
tions. At the request of Mr. Har
ris. each of the four honse
bills as to sugar, coal, iron ore
a barbed wire was taken up and re¬
ceived . its second reading. The for
quality having been accomplished, Mr.
Harris rose and said: “I deem it my
