THE PUBLIC PRISTINO.
The House then proceeded to the consid
eration of tbo bill relating to the public
printing and binding and for the distribu
tion of public documents. The reading of
the bill, which is a very voluminous one,
consumed nearly two hours. But little at
tention was accorded to it, the first reading
of a bill being usually a pro forma matter,
and the members, as a rule, occupied the
time in reading papers, attending to their
correspondence, or ohatting pleasantly 1q
little groups, in which party lines were dis
regarded.
Mr. Mills of Texas entered the hall during
this practical recess and was warmly greeted
by his party colleagues.
'Speaker IVo Jem. McMillln, having
called Mr. Oates of Alabama to the chair,
went upon the floor and had quite a long
conference with Mr. Mills, who is looking
tnuch better in health than before be went
upon bis southern trip.
EFFECTS OF THE BILL.
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee made a brief
explanation of the provisions of the bill,
dwelling especially on the fentures relating
to the distribution of publio documents
The changes in this respect, he said, would
result in a considerable saving to the gov
ernment. He quoted statistics to show that
during the past ten years
the appropriations for public printing
hod increased from $2,017,00(1 to $3,f139,000i
It was time that some steps should be taken
to reduce the expenditures in this branch of
the public service. The matter was thou
laid over.
Mr. Turpin of Alabama introduced a bill
permitting national banks to lend money on
real estate. It was referred.
The llouso then adjourned.
BHSSION OF THE SENATE.
Peffer Wants Presidents Elected by a
Direct Vote.
Washington, Jan. 18.—Six democrats
and a dozen republicans formod the Senate
when that body opened its proceeding to
day. Among the latter was Mr. Sherman,
who appeared for the first time since his re
election. Among the bills introduced and
referred were the following:
By Mr. Peffer—Proposing an amendment
to the constitution providing for the elec
tion of the President and Vice President by
direct vote of the people.
By Mr. Teller—For the admission of Utah
as a state.
By Mr. Perkins—For a national bank
ruptcy law (identical with the Oates bill
heretofore introduced in the House).
Mr. Hfile offered a resolution callmg on
the Secretary of State for copies of ail
agreements with other countries relating to
Interchange of trade and for a report ns to
the practical effect of such agreements. The
resolution was laid on the table, Mr. Hale
giving notice of his intention to call it up
shortly for discussion.
THE LA AURA CLAIMS.
The Senate then took uo the calendar,
the fin-t bill upon it being one roporteil
from the committee on foreign relations to
amend the act of 1878 for the distribution of
awards under the convention of 1868 with
Mexico (referring specially to the l.a Abra
claims!. Mr. Dolph, who is in charge of
the bill, and Mr. Vest boro the brunt of the
discussion. During most of Mr.
Dolph’s remarks there were but two
senators seated on bis own side of
the chamber and about a dozen on the other
side, but there was little or no pretense on
the part of more than two or three senators
of feeling and interest in the matter. Mr.
Vest was still speaking at 4 o’oloek to an
audience of loss tt.an a dozen senators,
when he yielded to a motion to proceed to
executive session, and soon afterward the
Senate adjourned.

HOLES OF THE HOUBHI.
A Belief That tho Oodo Will Bo Sub
mitted on Thursday.
Washington Jan. 18.—Notwithstanding
the illness of the speaker, he has held a
number of conferences with democratic
members of the committee on rules with a
View of framing a code of rules for the
government of the House. The progress
has been sa'isfactory, and it is thought by
members of the committee that a report
can be made this week, probably not later
than Thursday. The report will be made,
even though the speaker is not well enough
to preside over the deliberations of tho
House during its consideration.
THE REQUISITE FOR A QUORUM.
Though nothing has been definitely and
formally settled, it cau now be stated that
the new code of rules to be reported by the
committee will not continue the practice
begun under Speaker Reed, by which 100
was constituted a quorum of the House
when in committee of the whole. There were
some of the members of the democratic side
who thought that in viow of tho fact that
the action in committee of the whole was
only of an advisory nature, not final, and
subject alwavß to revision by the Home
itself, there was no objection to limiting to
100 the number of members constituting
the quorum necessary to do business. After
full consideration, however, tho majority of
the rules committee have decided not to
recommend it, but to adhere to the practice
in vogue prior to, the Fifty-first congress.
INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
An Increase of $1,427,847 for tho
First Six Months of the Year.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The collections
of internal revenue for the first six months
of the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 189:?, were
$77,134,990, being an increase of $1,'437,847
as compared witn the collections for the
corresponding period iasi year. The receipts
for December, 1891, were £3,112 less thau
tho receipts for December, lt'JO.
LAND GRANT RAILROADS.
Their Rights as to Pay for Carrying
the Malls.
Washington, Jan. 18. —The supreme
court to-dav affirmed the decision of the
court of claims in favor of the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad Company for
$4,620 withheld from the railroad company
by order of the Postmaster General under
, the act of ISI6, declaring t at railroads
I constructed in whole or in part by land
grants shall for mail transportation receive
only 80 per cent of the compensation
! authorized. The Postmaster General
! originally ruled that the act
applied to such parts of the
railroad as had been aided by land grants,
and not to the unaided portions. This con
sTuotion continued until 1885, when P st
master General Vilas the ruling of
bis predecessors and decided that the act
applied to the whole line of railroad which
had teen aided by land grants for part of
its line, aid subjected the entire lme of the
Alabama Great Southern company to re
duced rates and made the decision retro
active.
THE NEW RULING.
The court, in an opinion by Justice Brown
in favor of the railroad, says that it thinks
the construction given the act bv six differ
ent administrations of the postoffice depart
ment (construction certainly consorting
with the equities of the case) should be con
sidered as decisive in this suit. The opinion
says it is a settled doctrine of the court,
that in a case of ambiguity, the
judicial department will lean in favor
of the construction given to the statute by
the department charged with its execution,
and if such construction be acted upon for
a number of years will look with disfavor
upon any sudden change whereby parties
who have contracted with the government
upon the faith of such construction may be
prejudiced.
RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANTB.
An Important Decision by the Supreme
Court.
Washington, Jan. 18.—An opinion of
importance in its construction of the immi
gration laws was rendered in the United
States supreme court to-day in the case of
Nichimura Ekln, appellant, vs. the United
States. Nickimura Ekln is a Japanese
woman to whom entry into the United
States was refused by the immigration off!
cers and collector at San Frauclsco on the
ground that she was likely to become a
public charge. It was alto alleged that she
was oorning to the United States for
immoral purposes. The ruling of the immi
gration officers was contested, and it was
sought to have the federal oourts, on au
application for a writ of habeas corpus,
review the facts in the case. The govern
ment contended that the ruling of the
treasury department with reference to
the entry of immigrants was final and
not reviewable by the oourts. This
contention of the government the supreme
oourt to-day sustained. It holds that tbo
court can only decide whether or not immi
gration officers were duly appointed and
acted in oonformlty with the directions of
the act, and their conclusion as to ths facts,
with reference to any immigrant entering
the United States, is reviewable only by
the treasury department.
CURRENCY CONTRACTION.
Representative Bankhead’s Bill to
Guard Against the Evil
Washington, Jan. 18.—The bill "to pre
vent contraction, reduce taxation and in
crease the volume of the circulation,”
introduced in the House to-day by Repre
sentative Bankhead of Alabama, provides
that whenever the circulation, or any por
tion thereof, of any national bank is sur
rendered to the goverraent the Secretary of
the Treasury shall issue in place thereof,
an equivalent amount of legal tender
treasury notes which may be redeemed
“lu oolu.” The bill also provides that here
after no import duty shall be levied on salt,
lumber, nails, cotton ties, bagging for cot
ton, binding twine, farming implements,
wool, tin, glass, crockery, cotton, woolen
goods of every description, and no import
duty in excess of 2D per oeut.
ad valorem upon any produots
manufactured from iron. To meet
any deficit in the necessary expenses of the
government that may follow the enactment
of the legislation proposed by the bill, the
Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to
issue legal tonder treasury uotes in the sum
of millions of dollars, for the redemp
tion of whioh the secretary is to ooln a
sufficient amount of standard silver dollars
out of the bullion now in the treasury.
BLAINE AGAIN ILL.
His Attack Similar to the One of Two
Weeks Ago but Not so Severe,
Washington, Jan. 18.—The friends of
President Harrison in and out of the cabinet
were expressing quite freely and widely
their regret at the fact that Secretary
Blaine is once more under the weather. If
it hail not been for this effusive and eloquent
sympathy few would have known that Sec
retary Blaine Had another attack of indi
gestion with vertigo and vomiting yester
day in his library at the red house. It
was not os had an attack as
that of a fortnight ago, and he was able to
go right to bed, so that to-day he was a
great deal better off than he was the day
after the former attack. He was ablo to get
up and might have been out if it had not
been for the wretched weather. Neverthe
less, tbo Harrisons paint the moral just the
same.
LYNCHBURG’S POST MASTERSHIP.
A Protest Against tne Nomination of
James McLaughlin.
Washington, Jan. 18 A small delega
tion of citizens of Lynchburg, Va., headed
by Col. Parsons of Natural Bridge, who are
opposed to the confirmation of James M.
McLaughlin as postmaster at Lynchburg,
Va, appeared before the Senate committee
on postofficos and postroads this morning
und stated their grounds of objection to
McLaughlin’s confirmation. It is under
stood that the objections were based upon
charges to the effect that McLaughlin was
not a republican, that he was a barkeeper,
a Catholic, and that ho had failed to account
for some campaign money given to him in
1882. The committee postponed action on
the case, but there is little or no doubt that
McLaughlin will be confirmed finally.
Nominated for Collector.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The President
to-day nominated A. A. Bowman to bo col
lector of internal revenue for the Second
district of Tennessee.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1892.
ABBEVILLE NEWS.
Good Citizens Pass Away—The Town
Going to the Front.
Abbeville. Ga., Jan. 18. —John Daisy,
one of tbs beet citizens of Wilcox county,
dial at.tie residence of his father in-law,
! Judge Stephen Bowen, in Abbeville Friday,
and was buried in l'iao View cemetery Sat
urday. Deceased was afflicted with
consumption and was confined to his bed
for several months before death relieved
| him of bis sufferings. Mr. Daisy was a
man of many noble qualities, and is
, mourned by a large circle of relatives and
friends.
Tray Johnson died at bis resi
i dence, near Cedar Cre*k, Saturday
1 morning, of dropsy of the heart. He
was the first sheriff of Wilcox county, and
has subsequently held ether offices of trust
and responsibility, all of which he filled
creditably. He was in his sUtb year. He
left eight children, many grandchihlrenaud
hosts of friends to lament his death.
Abbevilie is improving slowly, but stead
ily and solidly. Within tho past month
three handsome brick stores have been com
pleted, and tho material is being placed on
the ground for a handsome brick Methodist
church. The edifice will cost several thou
sand dollars, aud when finished will be
very attractive. An elegant brick
Masonic lodge is nearing com
pletion and other handsome structures are
in completion. The farmers of this section
are intelligent and thrifty, and are almost
unanimous iu their determination to re
trieve the errors of the past by cultivating
food crops, fruits and vegetables for the
future, instead of pursuing the suicidal
oourse of planting heavy cotton crops.
The Abbeville and Waycross railroad,
running from Abbeville Into Irwin county,
a distance of twenty miles, has Just paid off
all its Indebtedness, which amounted to
many thousand dollars, and is now abso
lutely free from embarrassing incum
brances. This information is supplied me
by S. T. Lasse ter, superintonde.it of the
road. The Abbeville and Way cross road
has been an important factor in the recent
growth, and will be a more potent one in
shaping the future of Abbeville. It is un
derstood that work will be resumed lu ex
tending the road at an early day.

new store building "on the hill” in a short
time, and will move his stock in and open

Beall has placed his order for material to
build a large warehouse near the depot at
once. Another new store will be opened
the coming week, and a merchant in Quit
man has beeu liegotiaiing for a store und
residence here lately. ()ur merchants are
doing a very satisfactory business,
notwithstanding the very low price
of cottou, and the loss of the watermelon
and pear crop the past year,
I)r. Boring, a prominent citizen
of this place, had an ae-cident
Friday night, from which on account
of his extreme age he may never reoover.
The doctor, who is now in bis 82J year,

residence during the prevalence of the
storm whicli was on at tho time, got too
near the odge and lost his balance and fell
to the ground, a distance of several feet,
striking his head violently against the earth,
which came very near breaking his neck.
Ho was pioked up and carried to his room
and upon examination, his injuries were
found so serious that Dr. I’urcueof Thomas
vlllo was telegraphed for.
DeVilla, tho S-yoar-old son of Mr. Will
iams, one of the contractors and builders of
Dixie, fell from a high fence yesterday
evening and broke his left arm just below
the elbow. The limb was promptly set and
the little fellow Is doing well at this writ

We are having very oold and disagreeable
weather.

[ Two Cracksmen B.ow Open a Safe
and Get S2O and a Gold Cbain.
Griffin, Ga., Jan. 18.—Professional safe
blowers paid Griffin a call some time dur
ing lost night. Their job wus neatly exe
cuted, but they were poorly rewarded for
their trouble, though they thought they
were going to make agood haul. When E.
W. Dale, salesman for K. P. McWilliams it
Son, opened the front doors of the store
this morning and went back to the office he
discover' lAhe safe door wide open, a quan
tity of plaster of pans and alum scattered
around, and knew in an instant that the
safe had been robbed. He quietly closed
the doors, went to J. W. McWilliams
ami reported the matter. Mr. McWilliams
remembered two suspicious-looking men
hanging around the store Saturday, and is
convinced that they are the robbers;in fact,
he told his bookkeeper Saturday that he
as satisfied they were safe blowers. They
took In the whole town, visiting very nearly
every store, but made Mo Williams & Son’s
a place of rendezvous. Going into the
office one of them asked for a postal card,
while the other wanted a sheet of paper.
They were evidently taking a note of Mr.
Mc Williams' cash receipts, and wanted to
relieve him of the trouble of counting his
cash balance this morning by putting it in
their pockets.
THE MONEY SENT TO BANK.
They were away from the store, however,
about 4 o’olock, else they would have seen
that Mr. McWilliams sent to the bank for
deposit something like SI,OOO. all the cash on
hand except some change. Mr. McWilliams
describes them as follows: One was a large
man, about 5 feet 10, very dark skin,
black eyes, black mustache, full, round face,
with a prominent nose. He wore a suit of
blue clothee, with a saok coat. Tho other
was also a large man, with a rough face as
if marked by small-pox, high cheek bones,
prommeat nose and red mustache.
He had the appearance of being a stook
dealer and claimed to be one when asked
what bis business was. They spoke a
brogue, the former that peculiar to the
western yankee and the latter a broken
Irish. Mr. McWilliams says when the sec
ond one came into the office he asked him
what his business was in there, but he
evaded the answer by saying he was a mule
trader. To get the tools to do their work
they broke open a tool chest belonging to
J. E. Matthews, taking therefrom a ham
mer, brace, bit and chisel.
ENTERED BY THE REAR DOOR.
Their entrance to the st< re was effected
by prying open the back door. They care
fully placed all the papers, check books, oot
ton receipts, etc., from the safe on the desk,
showing that money was the only object of
their search, but if they find out they left a
s2>bill in one of the cheok books they will
feel like kicking themselves. Every effort
possible will be made to capture them. Mr.
Me Williams has kept the wires hot to-day,
notifying every city iu the country of the
occurrence aud giving good descrip
tions of them. It is quite likely this
is the same gang that operated iu
Austell a few nights since, and they may
be heard from somewhere below here to
morrow. Tho loss of Messrs. Me Williams is
about S2O cash, a safe valued at SIOO and a
ladies' fine natch chaiu, making a total of
SIOO. It is a small loss compared to what it
would have been but for tho suspicions of
the junior member of the firm.
St. Augustine’s Hotel Opening.
St. Augustine, Fla., Jan. 18.—This has
