CONGRESS IN SESSION.
The Daily Roatine ol Boi& Houses
Briefly Epitomized.
What Is Being Dodo to Allay Flnan
rial Depression and Bring Belief.
Twenty-Fifth Da*. —ln the senate,
Tuesday, a resolution for the daily
meeting of the senate at 11 a. m., was
offered by Voorbees.wbo said he would,
call itiipfor action Wednesday. An ex
traordinary bill was introduced by Mr.
Peffer for tbecreation of a department
of education, the construction of a
college of scientific, learning in the
District of Columbia, the appropria
tion of #20,000,000 for the purpose,
and the further appropriation of #BOO,-
000,000, the interest of which is to
form a fund for the support of the
college. It also provides that all edu
cational institutions and other matters
pertaining to public instruction shall
be under tlic supervision of tlie secre
tary of education. The bill wan re
ferred to the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. A concurrent res
olution for the appointment of a joint
committee to consider the question of
finance, seven senators and seven rep
resentatives, was introduced by Mr.
Morgan, and went over till Wednes
day. Tho speech began Monday by
Mr. Peffer was concluded by him, and
the senate was addressed on the silver
question by Mr, Stewart.
Twentv-Hixth Day. —ln the senate,
Wednesday morning, a bill was intro
duced by Mr. Cullom and referred to
the finance committee for the repeal
of all acts for the creation or mainte
nance of a sinking fund. A report
was made from the committee on priv
ileges ami elections for the payment
of #2,500 to each of the three claim
ants for acuta under the appointment
of governors, and it wos referred to
tho committee on contingent ex
penses. The resolntion for a 11
o’clock meeting was presented,
and Mr. Voorhees, who had
offered it withdrew it, stating that he
did so after consultation with the
friends of the repeal bill on the dem
ocratic side who thought that if the
time of the senate was occupied care
fully and Conscientiously, aa much
progress could be made. Mr. Mor
gan’s resolution for a joint select com
mittee on finance wdm taken up, and
Mr. Voorhees having suggested itH
reference to the finance committee,
Mr. Morgan argued ugaiuat the sug
gestion, stating that the purpose of
the resolution was to supercede tho
finance committees in each house and
substitute tho joint select committee
for them.
Twknty-Hkvknth Day.- In the sen
ate, Thursday morning, after the dis
position of some routine business, Mr,
Voorhees moved to proceed to the
consideration of tho bill to repeal tho
Sherman act. In connection with that
motion, Mr. Morgan said that al
though he had intended to iutk u vote
on his resolution for a joint select
committee on finance, he did not wish
to antagonize the chairmen of tho
tluauco committee. He hnd
conference with Voorhees, JKh had
agreed not to press his resolution. The
seuato then, without any objection,
took np the repeal bill, Mr. Stewart
being entitled to the floor to continuo
his speech. Mr. Stewart, however,
offered to forego his right tem
porarily in favor of Mr. Walthall,
who desired to address the sonate.
Mr. Walthall expressed liis willingness
to co-operate in prompt action on tho
bill, nud suggested a simple mode to
promote it that to put into the form
of enactment the declaration of policy
made in the bill. If that were done
the bill conld bo passed in half tho
time. Ho said the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law did not cause tho
present financial conditions, but was
tho culmination causes. Other coun
tries which hnd no Sherman law were
suffering just as much. He was sure
repeal would lead to a single gold
standard in America. The people of
Mississippi were bimetallists and bo
lieved in freo and unlimited coinage
of silver, (ireat interest was mani
fested in Walthall’s remarks,and there
were only a few vacant seats on the
floor.
Twknty-Eiuiith Day. Speeches
from demooratio senators in the seu
eto Friday on the repeal bill were
mode by Messrs. Faulkner of Virginia,
Tnrpio of Indiana and Jones of Ar
knnsas. All of them were in favor of
the repeal of the Sherman act, but
coupled with the condition that silver
should be restored to the position
which it occupied prior to the demou
etu/.ation act of 1878.
Twenty-Ninth Day. -The first two
hours of Saturday's session in the sen
ate were consumed in the discussion
of a resolution offered Friday by Mr.
l’effer to impure into the refusal of
the national banks of New York, bos
ton and l’hiludelphia to pay the cheeks
of their depositors in currency. The
discussion was unfinished when the
morning hour closed (at 2 o'clock p.
m.), ami, under the rules, the resolu
tion went to the calendar, whence it
cannot be taken except by a vote of
the senate. And so that particular
resolution will be heard of
no more during the present session.
The remainder of the day was occupied
by Mr. Teller in a speech, most of
which was devoted to a denunciation
of the newspaper press of the country
especially the metropolitan part of
it - for its impudence and mendacity,
tie was finally interrupted by Mr.
\ oorliees, who said that the senator
from Colorado, he knew, was suffer
ing from a throat cold. He had now
been speaking for nearly two hours,
and if the senator would yield to
him, he. Mr. Voorbees, would move that
the senate go into executive session.
The vice president announced the
following appointments to committees:
Mr. i crkiiis, republican, of Alnhania,
civil service and retrenchments, edu
cation and labor, naval affairs, Indian
depredations, select committee to in
vestigate condition of the t’otoimic
river. Mr. Quay, republican, of Penn
sylvania, pensions, Mr. Carey, repub
lican, of Wyoming, public' buildings
and grounds. Aft- 1- sn * x -entire s, s
sion. the senate at l ed o'clock ad
journed till Monday.
THE HOfSE.
TitRNTT-FiTTH DaT,—The aees.uu ot
the house vm taken np in the further
consideration of the rules.
Twenty-Sixth Day —There were not
more than a hundred members pres
ent when the house was called to order
Wednesday morning. Mr. Talbert,
of South Carolina, asked Jeavo to in
troduce a hill for the enlargement of
the volume of the currency. Mr.
Brosius, Pennsylvania, objected. The
house then resumed consideration of
the new code of rules, the pending
question being the Kyle amendment,
striking from the rnles the clanse
making one hundred members a quo
rum in committee of the whole. Mr.
Kyle’s motion was agreed to, 118 to
61.
Twenty-Seventh Day.— The consid
eration of the rules were continued in
the house Thursday.
Twenty-Eighth Day.— Though the
house was not in session Friday there
was a large gathering of representa
tives discussing the merits of the pro
posed amendment. A number of those
who voted for unconditional repeal
say that they are ready to vote for Mr.
Faulkner’s plan is accepted by the
Benate.
Twenty-Ninth Day. —The speaker
called a Very slim house to order Sat
urday, and it was a very languid one,
with no marked desire to transact
business. Tho only action worth
mentioning was a report from the
committee on elections, hy Mr. Payn
tcr, of a resolution granting the right
to Mr. Belknap—claiming a seat from
the fifth Michigan district—to file a
notice of contest against Mr. Rich
ardson, the sitting member. Mr.
Paynter said that this was the unani
mous report of the committee, and
the resolntion was adopted without
objection. Tho speaker then called
the committees for reports, but the
call was unproductive, and, on motion
of Mr. (’etchings, at half past 12
o’clock, the house adjourned until
Monday,

The forecast of tho crop returns of
the North Carolina agricultural de
partment for September shows a de
preciation of prospects of 25 per cent,
from tho August report. This is
caused by tho recent fearful cyclone
that passed over the state. The dum
ago was done by severe winds and
floods. Tobaoco suffered more than
any other crop. Corn and cotton also
were greatly damaged.
AJackson, Miss., special of Wednes
day says: Tho board of control, af

A Columbia, S. C., special says:
Governor Tillman Thursday afternoon,
made reply to the decree of United
States Girt Judge Simouton,imprison
ing his constable, Swanu, for seizing

decree is intended to bring tile admin
istration of the dispensary law into
disrepute and to paralyze the state

logical, prejudiced and tyrannical that

The President ami Mrs. Cleveland He.
eeiTe Congratulations.
A Washington special says: Another
girl baby was lioru to President and
Mrs. Cleveland Saturday. The birth
of a baby in the white house, was, of
course, an event in which more thau
usual interest was felt. In au incred
ibly short space of time the news was
known in congress and was spread
through ail the departments. The im
minence of the important event was
made known early in the day by the
issne of an order countermanding tho
usual Saturday concert by the marine
band in the white house grounds. Dr.
Bryant, who accompanied the presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland back from
Gray Gables and took up his quarters
in tho white house, was the attending
physician. The latest information ob
tainable is that Mrs. Cleveland and
her latest daughter were both doing
well. The baby is a bright-eyed,
henlthy looking vonng lady. This is
the first child born to a president in
the white house, though there have
been other births in the executive
mansion.
Immediately after the news had
been confirmed, members of tho cabi
net and their wives called to congrat
ulate the president and leave their cards
for Mrs. Cleveland, and there was a
general air of suppressed excitement
about the employes of the mansion.
Telegrams of congratulation were re
ceived from all parts of the country.
EUCHRE IS GAMBLING
Says a Judge in His Charge to the
Grand Jury.
A Chattanooga dispatch of Tuesday
says: Judge Moon, in his charge to
the grand jury created a sensation by
declaring that progressive euchre ih
gambling. He said: “Not only is
gambling carried on in regular gamb
ling resorts, but people of high stand
ing and respectability gamble. They
may not put down money, but they
set the example for others in playing
for prizes and awards. In these pro
gressive euchre games these persona
piny for fine pictures or gold-headed
canes. Examples .are set that are a
violation of the lair, and it is just as
demoralizing as common gambling.”

A CRY OF DISTRESS.
Governor Tillman Appeals for Aid for
the Storm Stricken Sufferers.
A Columbia, H. C., special Thursday
says: The awful stupendity of tho dis
aster of the storm-swept coast of South
Carolina is at last realized. It proves
to be the calamity of tho century. A
death roll of several hundred persons
developos into almost that of thou
sands, while absolute destitution ex
tends to 20,(lf>0persons,nineteen-twen
tieths of whom are ignorant negroes.
Thoso awful facts have been ascertained
by Dr. J. W. Babcock, of Columbia, who
spent four days as the special repre
sentative of Governor Tillmau at
Beaufort and vicinity. In point of
fact,the whole truth is not yet known,
as, on account of the impossibility of
at present making a circuit of the
score or more of islands that make up
this archipelago, but enough has been
developed to warrant the foregoing
statement as to the death and devasta
tion. All these islands were sul>-
merged and the seething waters anni
hilated almost everything, scarcely
leaving a landmark.
TWENTY THOrsAND DESTITUTE.
These 20,000 persons are now con
fronted hy the terrors starvation and
pestilence. These facts have caused
Governor Tillman to give all his per
sonal attention to the situation and
lie is now working with might and
main to procure relief. Thurs
day night he issued a procla
mation to the people of the
United States appealing to them to
make contributions to the cause. He
states therein that these people will
have to be fed by charity for six
months and that it will take $75,000
to furnish them with bread alone. He
calls upon the whole people to aid him
and pledges his official word that their
charity shall not bo misapplied.
PHILADELPHIA’S GENEROSITY.
She Responds to (■’orernor Tillman’s
Appeal for Aid.
A Columbia dispatch say: Govern
or Tillman's appeal to the country for
aid for tho sea island sufferers is meet
ing with ready response. He recived
a telegram from Major Stuart, of

An Iron Trust Organized.
The organization was completed at
Duluth, Minn., Tuesday, of the Lake
Superior Consolidated Iron companv,
a corporation which will have mueh
the same relation to the Bessemer iron
ore trade of America that the Stand
anj Oil company has to the oil trade.
It will control fully nine-tenths of the
productive mining capacity for Besse
mer ores of the United States. The
company has made an agreement to
maintain a standard of prices. The
prices will be such as will preclude
the possibility of competition by tho
deep, hard ore minus of the older
ranges.
A Dispensary Deputy Jailed.
A Columbia, 8. C., dispatch of
Tuesday recites that Judge Simonton
lias filed a decision in the United
States district court at Charleston,
sentencing Deputy Swan, who took a
barrel of whiskey from the South
Carolina railroad that had been in
charge of that road before the dispen
sary act went into effect, to three
months imprisonment and ordered the
whiskey returned,
Cleanliness is Ve;y Important.
“There is much talk nowadays,”
said a trained nurse recently, “about
surgical cleanliness, but it seems to be
entirely confined to the hospitals. The
average woman, even the average in
telligent woman, does not appear to
realize that she can use some of it right
in her own home, and particularly in
the sickroom of her home if that apart
ment comes into existence.
“I have been nnrsing recently a sur
gical case where an open wound was
under treatment. Temporarily need
ing a softening ointment, I asked for
some and had brought tomtf an uncov
ered box of vaseline, tbisk with dust,
which I was told would not do any harm,
as it was merely ‘air dust.’ The
speaker meant, I suppose, by this that
it was the dust that had gathered by
exposure to the air rather than under
the active operation of sweeping, but
that it was fairly criminal to have any
dust on a remedial agent she had not
the slightest idea.
“It is this thoughtless ignorance
that often makes the household medi
cine chest a direat evil, and I have
thought seriously that a few r lessons
upon family surgery, particularly that
branch of it which teaches absolute
and chemical cleanliness, would not bo
a bad thing to include in the curricu
lum of girls’ colleges and schools.’’—

Sewing Women.
People who are old enough to re
member the advent of the sewing ma
chine cannot have forgotten the fears
entertained hy many conservative
persons that the novel invention would
put seamtresses out of fashion. The
first thought of inexperience on see
ing the rapidity with which the ma
chine ran npaseam was very naturally
that all the seams would be easily fin
ished, and that one time honored em
ployment of women would bo taken
from them. Nobody realized at first
that by the aid of the sowing machine
more frills, more flounces, more ruf
fles and tucks than ever before would
be added to our garments, and that
garments would themselves lie multi
plied.
The sewing machine did not do
away with the seam tress. It made her
instead more than ever a necessity. A
house in which there is neither a ma
chine nor a seamtreßS can hardly be
found in town or country, and sowing
remains, as much today as in former
period,woman’s peculiar work. The
machine is tlio seamtress’ best friend
as well as her beneficent fairy.—Har

Hauling Down the Flag.
P. P. Elder was speaker of the
house of representatives in Kansas
when Windom and General Sherman
died in 1891. Windom died twenty
four hours before Sherman, and the
flag on the statehouse was pulled half
way down.
When the news came of the great
general's death, the sergeant-at-arms
rushed in and asked Elder what he
iJiould do.
“Put the flag half mast,” said Elder
“But it is already at half mast for
Windom,” explained tho sergeant-at
arms.
“Then pull it the rest of the way i
down, you goose,” exclaimed Elder
petulantly.— ('hirai/o Inter-Oec,an.

“In another year,” says G. G.
Hartley, of Duluth, “you will bo able
to go from Buffalo to Duluth in fifty-two
hours. It is over a thousand miles by
water. New steamers are building
for exclusive passenger service. They
will be as fine rs the best ocean steam
ers, and will have a speed of over
twenty miles an hour. Next summer
you will find traveling on our great
lakes as comfortable as on the ocean.”
