PR<m FF 1)1 Nils IN DETAIL.
tty the Associated Press.
Washington. Sept. ’5. —There was such
a very slim attendance of senators in the
chamber this morning that after prayer
and the reading of yesterday's journal
Mr. Quay “ventured to suggest" the ab
sence of a quorum. The Vice-President
thereupon ordered tie* roil to be called,
and during the progress of the roll call 44
senators ibeing one inure than a quorum)
answered to their names.
POLITICAL HOT.
Among the petitions presented was one
bv Mr. Cullom. signed by a large number
of ex-soldiers, residents of his state, al
leging that they were beset by detectives
of the government, traveling in disguise,
secretly co-operating with those who
have been distinguished by their anti
pathv for those who fought for the flag.
It is alleged that the spies, with friendly
pretenses, visit the. homes of pensioners,
and with the basest hypocrisy and fawn
ing deception. seek to find some clew to
furnish information to the pension
office to deprive old veterans
of theix ]tensions. The petitioners ask
protecfion against the methods of govern
ment officers who seek to brand pension
ers as perjurers and criminals, without
the right of being heard in their own de
fense, and to be shielded from the false
and base imputation of those high in
power yvho seek to discredit and dishonor
the union soldiers of the late war. and to
be protected in their old age from the
severity and bitterness of party and polit
ical persecution.
HE AFFECTS TO CREPTT IT.
In presenting the petition, he said, he
had read it in full because it contained
very serious* allegations which, if true,
ought to be brought to light, so that the
country might know what is going on and
that congress may take action to protect
union veteran soldiers. He intended to
have moved for instructions to the com
mittee on pensions, but. as the chairman
of that committee, his eolleaguelHalmer),
was absent, he would not do so, knowing
full well that his colleague would take
proper action
On motion of Mr. Hoar, the privileges
of the floor were extended for one week
to Mr. Wm. Wirt Henry of Virginia, as
an eminent citizen who bore an illustri
ous name and yvho came to the city to de
liver an address at the ceremonies in cel
ebration of the hundredth anniversary of
laying the foundation of the capital.
REVEAL DEBATE RESUMED.
At 12:30 o’clock the Senate proceeded
to the consideration of the repeal bill and
was addressed in defense of the bill by
Mr. Lindsay, dem., Ky., it being his first
speech in the Senate, except some re
marks of an obituary character. He ar
gued that the repeal bill left unimpaired
the bill of 1800, so far as it affected the
coinage of silver in the future. It
was strange, he said, to hear
senators assort that the repeal of
the Sherman act would bo to demonetize
silver and to strike down the last hope of
those yvho held to the popular idea of bi
metallism. Stranger still was the claim
of the democratic senators, that the re
peal bill was undemocratic and in opposi
tion to the Chicago democratic platform.
The pertinent question "if we arc not to
coin silver, why purchase it!” had been
asked in July, IM'.h), vvhen the report of
the confereneo committee (on the Sher
man bill) was under discussion. It had
not been answered then; it had not been
answered since: and it eould not tie an
swered in accordance with the democratic
theory of the powers and duties of the
federal government.
TUE SHERMAN ACT TO STOP COINAGE.
It was clear that the Sherman act was
intended to stop the coinage of silver and
to purchase 4,500,(HX1 ounces of silver per
month for the sole purpose of giving a
market to those crumped in the silver
mining industry. Under it silver was
held as a commodity not to be coined into
money except to a very limited extent.
He quoted again the position now held by-
Messrs. Vance and Vest (against the re
peal bill) and the arguments made by
them in 1890 against the Sherman act,
and desired to know why those argu
ments wore not as good now as then. If
the Sherman act was another step in the
demonetization of silver in 189(1 it was not
clear to him (Lindsay) why its repeal
should amount now to the destruction of
silver.
QUOTING THE SILVER LEADERS.
He cited Mr. Vest in saying that the
passage of the Sherman act would be -an
absolute stoppage of the standard
silver dollar," to which assertion Mr.
Jones of Nevada added, "that is all they
want.” And yet these senators were now
opposing the repeal of that act. An
other quotation from Mr. Vest was this:
“There is no free coinage about this bill.
It is the demonetization of silver, abso
luteand unqualified-” Mr. Lindsay also
quoted largely from a speech from Sena
ator Morgan against the conference re
port of 1890, in which Mr. Morgan de
clared that it was more demonetizing
than the act of 1878. and then he asked
whether the condition of things which
Mr. Morgan had described should be con
tinued. and whether congress should take
the necessary steps in the restoration of
the public confidence.
The greater part of Mr. Lindsay’s
speech, occupying an hour and a half, was
devoted to the defense of Secretary Car
lisle from the imputation that he had
been a party to the conspiracy of New
York bankers to bring aixiut a panic in
order to compel a repeal of the Sherman
law.
Mr. Morgan defended the consistency
of his arguments against the conference
report of 1890 (the Sherman act) with
his position now against the repeal of
that law.
Mr. Higgins addressed the Senate in
favor of tiie unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law. In his opinion, the people
had fairly made u* their minds# that the
repeal bill ought to be passed and passed
without delay promptly.
At the close of Mr. Higgins’ speech,
Mr. Allen took the Ilnur, saying he de
sired to make a few remarks on some
phases of the pending question. He post
poned doing so, however, until to morrow
and the Senate after a short executive
session, at 5:35 o'clock adjourned until to
morrow.

Heport of the Elections Committee
Being Successfully Kept Out
Washingffm, Kept. 15.—i The order made
yesterday, revoking leaves of absence and
directing the sergeant-at-anjis to tele
graph for absentees, did not, when the
House met this morning, appear to have
been productive of very gratifying re
sults. The attendance was a small one,
and there were more empty iea t s on Un
democratic side than on tile republican
side.
the journal jutiieu awry.
There were numerous contortions made
to the journal, all referring to the roll
call yesterday, but tin-) gnv. Mr. Keen
an opportunity to say dryly that he re
framed to allude \o the obvious iucorroct
xie&s of the journal. Then cajuc more
correction*, and Mr K.s-i1 inquired, smil
ingly. how many errors had been found in
i the journal'
The speaker smilingly replied that he
had not counted then: up.
Mr Kissi There have been about seven
or eight corrections I just want the House
to notice, as an instance of the imperfiv
i tion of parliamentary machinery. (Laugh
i ter. 1
The speaker directed the clerk to call
: the committees for r<q>orts; but Mr Hur-
I rows saw an opportunity to put a small
l**bble in the cogs of the legislative ma
chine. He did so by demanding the "reg
ular order."
This is the regular order,” resi*onded
the Speaker
CONTEST OP CROSS PHI'FOSKS.
Hut Mr. Harrows dissented from this
opinion, and contended that the regular
order was his motion (made yesterday),
to dispense with the call of the commit
tees. On this motion the yeas and nays
had been ordered, and he thought
(though he had a doubt in his mind about
it and would like to have the speaker's
decision) that that motion was the un
finished business.
The speaker ruled otherwise, and held
that that motion was one that died yvlien
the House adjourned for the day.
Mr. Burrows blandly acquiesced in the
ruling; and then‘moved that thecallof
the committees be dispensed with.
On this motion the vote stood yeas 1;
nays 140—no quorum; and Mr. Tucker
moved a call of the Hbuse, which yvas
ordered. Two hundred and thirty mem
bers responded to their names, and then
further proceedings under the call were
dispensed with.
EULOGIES ON A DEAD MEMBER.
Mr. Clark, dem.. of Alabama made a
personal explanation in line with that
made by Mr. Hoatn r earlier in the day.
He denied that he had sided with the re
publicans yesterday. The federal elec
tion layvs could not oe repealed too
promptly or too speedily for him. Then
public business yvas suspended and (un
der a special order) the House proceeded
to pay a tribute of respect to the memory
of the late ,1. Ixtgan Chipman of Michi
gan. Eulogies were delivered by Messrs.
WVadnck. Powers. Curtis, Carutli. Mc-
Millin, Ilaugh, Denrmond and Covert,
and then as a mark of respect to the mem
ory of the deceased, the House at 3:20
o’clock p. m. adjourned.
OSBORNE'S ARREST.
It Has Stirred Up a Hornets’ Nest
Among Atlanta’s Workingmen.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 15.—Public senti
ment has taken a decided turn against
the city officials responsible for the arrest
of Labor Oganizer Osborne Wednesday
night to prevent him from making a
speech at the artesian well. Never before
in the history of the city has a public
meeting been suppressed by the jxilice.
Not ey’en when the legislature yvas de
nounced and threatened for refusing the
confederate home, or when Gen. Lewis
was burned in effigy: and the yvorking
classes are loud in denouncing the arbi
trary order of the police board. The
condemnation is not, however, confined
to those who believe in Osborne and
his doctrines, but is generally expressed
by conservative citizens, yvho say it yvas
nothing less than high-handed suppres
sion of free speech.
EFFECT OF THE SUPPRESSION.
Asa matter of policy the arrest is now
criticised. It lias placed Osborne in the
light of the leader of a principle or issue
between the classes. It is said on good
authority that the true reason why Os
borne was suppressed is that lie was too
severe on the convict lease system, and
this did not please those interested in the
lease. At any rate, the affair will lie used
for imlitieal purposes. The laboring people
say that if the city officials will not allow
them to hold their meeting witli the same
privileges accorded others, they will
carry the issue to the ballot box, and
there retaliate upon the men directly re
sponsible for Wednesday night’s work. ,
THE JUnag CATCHES IT.
Judfre Calhoun, who intjiosod the SIOO
fioo, comes in for a irood share of abuse.
The charge against Osborne was block
ading the street. In'such cases the fines
usually imposed are nominal, but, not so
when a labor orator’s mouth was
to he gaggqd. He was given the
limit. it is claimed also that
even this charge will not stand in the
higher courts, as Osborne was no more
guilty of blockading the streets than any
of the crowd around him, who were not
molested. The city ordinance says that
if a man or men is ordered to move on by
an officer and refuses, this shall consti
tute a blockading the street; and the
point is made that this specification was
not touched in Osborne’s case. A meet
ing has been called by the labor union for
to-morrow night at the court house to
take action on Osborne's arrest.
THE CONVICT LOTTERY.
Two Prizes and Many Blanks Drawn
From the Pardon Wheel.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 15.—The governor
to-day refused to grant the application
for pardon of V. Christopher, sentenced
to twelve mouths from Savannah for
keeping his place of business open on Sun
day. Christopher was released for a first
violation of the Sunday law upon a plea
of ignorance, but the plea would not go
the second time he was caught, and the
governor holds that his willful defiance of
law should justly bar him from executive
clemency.
MORE PARItON APPEALS.
Application of pardon for Charlie Hill,
convicted of assault with intent to mur
der, and of John Lewis, convicted of mur
der in Appling county, were also denied.
Hill was one of the leaders in a meeting
among the convicts, and this fact acted
against his pardon. Itowis escaped just
after his conviction, and is now at large;
but had the nerve to ask for pardon for
murdering his man, anyhow. John Hill
of Gwinnett county, in for manslaughter,
was also disappointed, while Harry Doty,
the 18-year-old son of a South Carolina
minister, was ordered set free. Young
Doty forged several checks in Atlanta
! and got several years for it. lie has
! served a year. \V B. Reynolds of Mitch
| ell county was restored to the rights of
citizenship. He was convicted for lar
ceny from the house.

Complications That May Grow Out
of the Geary Law Abolishment of
an Ornamental Adjunct of the Cen
sus Bureau New Fads in Silver
and Pensions Many Bills to Erect
New Buildings Being Presented.
Washington, Sept. 15.—There is a
promise of something lively before long
in the House over the Chinese exclusion
matter. A few days ago, a bill was in
troduced into the House b,v Mr. Everett
of Massachusetts, the purpose of yvhich
yvas to post))one the operation of the
Geary exclusion law. This Everett bill
has assumed proportions of great import
ance. Although Mr. Everett is the puta
tiyre father of the bill, its real author is
Mr.Josiali Quincy, the assistant Secretary
of State. Whatever Mr. Quincy touches
necessarily becomes great. Not only so,
but it is understood that this bill was
drawn by Mr. Quincy after consultation
yvith the President; so that it may be
understood as the expression of the exec
utive mind. It is important enough to
have caused a conference of three hours’
duration, in yvhich the participants were
three cabinet officers, Messrs. Car
lisle, Gresham and Olncy, and Assistant
Secretary Hamlin, yvith Mr. Geary, the
author of the bill sought to be super
seded. The secretaries stated that the
President yvas very anxious that the Ev
erett bill should be passed as speedily as
possible in the House, and go at once to
the Senate, and be pushed through that
body as soon as possible. He is all the
more anxious about this because of the
protests of the neyv minister from China,
yvhich, if unheeded, might easily become
the cause of unpleasantness between the
two countries.
MR. GEARY DIDN’T SEE IT THAT yVAY.
All the arguments usod did not con
vince Mr. Geary of the importance of
setting aside his layv and substituting
the Everett bill in its stead. He ex
pressed himself in very plain terms, and
said that the Everett bill would be an
tagonized by every representative from
the Pacific coast. He insisted that a sec
tion should be added providing for the
photographing of every Chinaman as soon
as he enters this country, and that the
definition of yvhat constitutes a merchant
should be made so plain that there could
be no mistake about it. He also expressed
a willingness that the imprisonment
clause might be eliminated from the
former bill, and if these things were
agreed to, there yvouldbe no objection to a
reasonable time in yvhich Chinamen
might take out their certificates of regis
tration. He yvas willing that this period
should be made ninety days, and even
longer if the Chinamen showed any dis
position to comply yvith the law. Mr.
Geary further said that if these pro
visions were antagonized by the adminis
tration, every member from the Pacific
slope would stand ready to oppose dn
every way possible the passage of the
bill. The Everett bill is uow in the hands
of a sub-committee consisting of Messrs.
McCreary, Everett, Geary, Hitt and
Harmer.
PURELY ornamental. .
The division of disbursements and ac
counts in the census ofiiee will be abol

Mrs. Alexander K. Shepherd, wffe of
tiie famous "Boss” Shepherd, lias arrived

Chihuahua, Mexico. Site is on a visit to
her children, who live in the northern
suburbs of this city. Boss Shepherd did
more to make Washington beautiful than
any score of other men combined. When
ever one speaks of the beauty of Wash
ington, he in voluntarily pays a tribute to
Boss Shepherd, although that worthy
was, in his day, one of tiie worst abused
men on this continent.
MR. BELL W VNT's TO IMNO IN SILVER.

bill to pay the coin obligations of tho
government in silver. Mr. Bell will be a

Avery large number of bills to erect

They represent every part of tiie country,
and call for amounts of all sizes. Bills
were introduced yesterday which ap
propriated nearly six millions for this
purpose.
CHURCH PETITIONS.
The churches are beginning again to send
petitions agaiust the enforcement of the
Geary law. Every church in this coun
try has a very great interest in tiie con
tinuance of amicable relations with China.
They all have missionary enterprises
there which are doing good work, the im
portance of which cannot easily be over
estimated, and which is taken into con
sideration too little by many of the men
who make laws. The author of the Geary
law is reported to have said that the
missionaries in China were little or no
better than anarchists in this country. A
man who can say such a tiling as that,
simply does not know what he is talking
about. This Chinese business is unfor
tunately looked at by most congressmen
as a purely political mat ter, in which each
party tries to see how much
lie can condemn Chinese im
migration, with the hope of thus carry
ing the states of the Pacific slope. It lias,
to a large extent, degenerated into a mat
ter of party polities, and a low’ order of
party polities at that.
TAMPA'S TARIFF INTERESTS.
If the Tobacco Tariff Were Reduced
Tampa Would be Happy.
Tampa. Fla., Sept. 15.—The question of
tariff on tobacco is being discussed this
week by Cols S. M. Sparkman and T. C.
Taliaferro, who have gone to Washing
ton to confer with the Tampa and Key
West committees. The tariff is exceed
ingly high and Florida's large tobacco in
terest demands that it should he reduced
at once. In Tampa alone, if
the tariff was such that
manufacturers could make a high grade
of cigars at, a small cost, fully 5.000 men
would be put to work and a dozen cigar
factories would resume active operation
! at once.

COTTON INJURED BT STORMS
A Batch of New* From the Lively
Town of Statesboro.
Stab-ahoio, <Ja., Sept. 15.—Cotton is
coming in quite lively As our farmers
plant the sea Island variety al
most exclusively they are interested only
in prices of that grad* . and merchants
are paying about l'J cents for a good qual
ity.
Dr. .1 C. White after spending the sum
mer months in Chicago and New York
where he went to take a course of lectures
returned home athis week. The doctor
owns some very valuable real estate front
ing the eourt house square and will com
mence the erection of a handsome brick
block of buildings thereon in a few weeks.
He is also preparing to erect a hand
some dwelling.
This town, is soon to have a bank.
Messrs. H. S. HI itch, l)r Groover. B.
T. (Jutland and others are to be the prime
movers in the enterprise. The people
hope that the scheme will materialize. Mr.
(Jutland will build a handsome 2-story
fire proof building to be used by the bank.
A seasonable event of the week is the
wedding of Mr. J. (J. Franklin, a promi
ueut young man of this place, I to Miss
Julia, Akins one of Bulloeli county’s fair
est daughters. The marriage took place
last night at the house of the bride’s
father, Mr. Solomon Akins, who lives
about three miles from town. Eelder M.
F. Stubbsof the Primitive Baptist church
officiated.
Mr. W. P. Everett, formerly of Guyton
lias bought a home in this town.
The Statesbro Academy was opened
for the fall term on Monday.
One of the heaviest and most destruc
tive rains that has ever been known in
this county fell on Saturday evening,
about ten miles from here, and consider
able damage was done. It is said
the water ran over turpentine barrels ly
ing up on level land The cotton and
other crops are almost ruined for a space
of about ten miles square in that section.
On Tuesday nignt the mill of Mr. J. C.
Deloach, our tax collector, who lives
about twelve miles south of here, was
washed away and completely demolished.
Several sea island cotton gins, mill rocks,
in fact everything has been washed down
the run of the creek, and at last accounts
had not been heard of. The county
bridge lying just below the mill house
was also washed away Mr. Deloach had
contracted to keep it up for seven years,
which time would have expired next
March. This loss falls heavy on Mr. De
loach.
The cotton crop of this county will not
be over half what it was last year, and if
the farmers l*o not get good prices they
will be in a bad condition.
In some sections of this county some of
the people are almost afraid to take silver
money, believing the roport put in circu
lation by third party politicians that sil
ver money had all been killed.
BURNED REMNANT IDENTIFIED.
Quarrel Over a Shot Dog Causes the
Shooting of a Man.
Ocala, Fla.. Sept. 15. Yesterday, near
Flemington, John Phillips shot Robert
Ellison. The cause of the trouble was
over Phillips’ dog getting among Ellison’s
goats, when the latter shot the former’s
dog. Phillips, hearing of it, came for
Ellison, who, seeing Phillips coining,
broke for the woods, but Phillips emptied
his gun into Ellison’s side. At the time
it was thought the mail’s wound was
mortal. Both parties are prominent cit
izens and prosperous farmers. Ellison
was a nephew of Phillip s.
BODY IDENTIFIED.
It now appears that the name of the
cremated man was Boyd, and several
weeks ago he left Anthony for Springs

Geo. K. Kobinson umpired the game.
ROTTING IN THE BOLL.
That Appears to be the Condition
of Cotton in Middle Georgia.
Tennille, (la.. Sept. 15.—Tennille seems
to respond very re adily to the stimulant
offered to trade by the House’s action on
the silver-purchasing clause and great
things might be expected if the Senate
would only stop debating the matter and
consummate the plau outlined by the
President.
There are several cotton buyers ’here,
and as freight rates are in their favor,
Tennille seems to take the lead of
Sandersville as a market. Notwithstand
ing the weather has not been very favor
able for the picking of cotton, a good
deal of cotton is being soid here.
Asa result of the damage
done by tho storm and
continuous showers farmers are hav
ing to give as much as 50 cents per hun
dred for picking over that portion of their
farms that has not been gone over since
the storm.
I observed a lively contest overa couple
of hales of silk cotton the other evening.
Three or four local buyers wanted to
handle it, and bidding was spirited, the
contest resembling an auction. The cot
ton was sold for 91-16 cents per pound.
The crop has been injured 20 or 25 per
cent, by the storm and subsequent rains,
which still continue. So much water
with but little sunshine is rotting the
burr before the cotton can burst it.
Tennille Institute opened under favora
ble auspices, with some SO or 100 pupils in
attendance. Prof. McNaire seems to be
gaining the respect of the pupils.
Our town is blessed with ministers.
With the addition of T. J. Holmes, who is
to move iu from the country soon, we will
have six white ministers, and some four
or live colored.
