with its exception Wednesday morning.
When the speaker railed the h
order at noon there were not morn than
one hundrid and fifty members present,
nnd the galleries did not contain more
tlmn the usual audience. On motion Mr.
McMillin, of Tennessee, the house went
into u committee of the whole upon the
revenue bills, ltlount, of Georgia, being
do ignn'od ns tho wedding oflle r. Mr
McMdlnn addressed the house. He wni
followed on the republican side by Mr.
Dingley, of Maine.
Thursday.—The house committee on
public buildings an J grounds authorized
a favorable report on the following pub
lie building bills: Brunswick. Gn , $75,-
Newport News, Va.. $7.1,000; An

Friday.—In the house, on Friday, ....

two hours on Saturday wero set apart for
the consideration of private bills, and tho
linns j went into a committco of
whole, (Mr. Blount of Ooirgia, in the
chair) on froo wool, and was nddicssod
by Mr. Htevcas, of Massachusetts.
Monday.—After unimportant, routine
proceedings in the housi Monday,
fl ior was awarded to the committee
the D’strict of Columbia. Measures re
lating to the administration of tho local
vormnont occupied the greater part of
the day’s session. The hotiso then went
into committee of tho wliolo on the army
appropriation bill. Thcro was littlo op
position made to the measure, nnd Mr.
Cuthwalte, ol Ohio, who bad charge of

adjourned to Tuesday.
TUB BKNATK.
Wednesday.—lu the senate Mr. Hale,
from tho committee on appropriations,
reported back without comment the agri
cultural deficiency bill, and said ho would
call it up Thutsdny. He also reported
hack the hill introduced by him ou tho
2.1th of January to further increnso tho
naval department. It wa«, ho said, for
tho construction of battle-ships, const
defenses, gun-boats und eight first-
class torpedo boats. IIo reported
back with an amendment ap-
iropriatiug $100,000 for experiments
tho development of tnrpodoce
nnd iti the procuromcut of ataudar.
torpedoes. It was placed on tho calen
dar. Tho senate c >min'tteo on foreign
relations spent an hour in consideration
of the Bohring sea arbitration treaty.
Whilo it was practically decided that tbo
treaty should be reported to tho senate
with tho recommendation that it he ap
proved, no formal action of that naturo
was taken. As the committee believod
that the prudent roitrso would
to wait tho reception
from the president of Lord Salisbury’s
reply to his Inst proposition looking to a
renewal of the modus vivondi, it is learn
ed that many scnatois, without regard to
party lines, have determined that some
provision must he made for a ronownl of
the modus vivondi, as a condition prece
dent to the consummation of tho tronty.
The action of the senate upon the irealy
will be, of course, subject to construc
tion given to correspondence by individ
ual senators, and in view of the intense
interest in the subject manifested by the
public, an i ITort will probably be made
to have the proceedings of the senate in
ecutive session, considering the treaty,
ven to the public.
Tiiuhsday.—In the senate, Thursday,
Mr. Morgan offered a resolution which was
d to, ral iug on tho president for
opies of tho correspondence in regard to
the Venezuela awards Rince June, 18i»0.
Fhiday.—In the senate, Friday, Mr.
Stewart introduced a joint resolution
proposing a constitutional amendment
that, niter 1897, no person who has hud
tho office of president for the term of
>ur years, or any part thereof, shall bo
ligible (o that ofilco within four years
after the expiration of such term. Mr.
H ewart said that he had been considering
what committees should properly have
urisdiction of tho subject, nnd that ho
tad come to tho conclusion that it ought
to bo referred to the cojnmittce on civil
service reform and retrenchment. lie
thought an extension of the presided
tial term was objectionable, bccuuso that
would make the stake too great nnd might
some timo lend to revolution. Tho great
advantage of the amendment would lie
tho removal of all temptation ou tho part
of the president to nso the appointing
power for re-election . Tho joint resolu
tion was referred to tho committee on civil
service reform. The bill by Daniel, assent
ing to the privileges nnd grants given by
the states of South Carolina nnd Virginia
to the French Cable company was taken
Monday.—In the senate, Monday, a
inference was order d on the urgent de
ficiency bills, and Senators Halo, Allison
mid Cockrell were appointol conferees on
the part of the senate. Tho senate at 2
'Vook went into executive session.
When the doors were reopened, after be

FREE BAGGING BILL.
The Report in lt« Favor as Prepared
by Mr. Turner, of Georgia.
Following is tho report of Mr. Turner,
of Georgia, from tho ways and moans com
mittee, in favor of tho bill to admit freo
of duty bagging for cotton, machinery
for manufacturing bagging, cotton tics
and cotton gins:
The bill proposes an set of tordy jus ico
to tlioso who rontrihuto the chief item of
our export trado. We sent abroad dur
ing twelve months ended Deoombcr 81.
1801, 5,1)27,852 bules of eotton, of tho
aggregate value of $227,088,511. The
concession which this measure contem
plates Is coincident with tho groateit do-
mission which tho producers of cotton
invo sufferod in a generation. Tho timo
is ripo forsomo mitigation of their bur
dens. Cotton, when sold in tho markets
of Europe, is subjected to
a tare, or deduction, for
bagging nnd ties. Tho Ameiiean prico
is fixed relatively to the prico paid for
cotton abroad. The cost, therefero, of
covering and ties, which incioso lint, is a
sacrifice inflicted on tho cotton grower in
both foreign nnd home markets. Tho
argument which inveighs against the ex
emption of tics from duty, while tho
bund, iron or stool, from which thoy nro
made is still subiect to duty, is
without forco under these clrcurn-
srnnees. The ptinciplu of tim
drawback applies hero in full force; bag
ging in covered by tho snrno sort of
equity. Tho right to resort to imported
hugging and ties will, it is confidently
believed, protect farmers nnd laborers
ongHgod In iho production of cotton
against corners ana combinations among
tlioso who, under the present tariff, con
trol tho Mipply of those indispensable nr
tides. Tho exemption of machinery used
in the manufacture of bagging, is pro-
losod in this bill for the benefit of Amer-
can bagging factories. Thoy already
ha c their raw materials free.
An additional reason is suggested by
the f.ict that, if these very simple ma
chines can be imported free, the Lirmers
Ihcmsclves can join in tho production of
bagging. They will thus have in their
own hands a final defense ngainst trusts
and monopolies. They nro still smarting
from ibc oppression which a very recent
combination imposed, the raising of the
price of bagging nearly 100 per cent.
The effect ol the McKinley rntis upon
bagging and ties has not yet been fully
•'(•veloped. The first result has boon to
ut r ir the importations of theso articles.
Ihe next step will be an augmentation
of price. Trust is always a possible sup
plement to pr Section.
A MOB’S WORK.
Three Negroes Shot to Death as a
Sequel to Saturday’s Row.
At 8 o’clock Wednesday morning a
mob, quietly organized, broke into the
Shelby county jail at Memphis, Tenn.,
for the purpose of lynching the negroes
concerned in Raturduy night’s trouble at
The Curvo.” Three negroes were taken
from jail and hurried oil by the mob.
There were twonty-seven in jail, churged
with assnult with intent to kill
and for umbushiog and shooting four
deputies. There were seven-five meu in
tho mob, all masked. They broko in tho
big doors, secured Calvin McDowell,
Tom Moss and Will Htuart, the leaders
of the negro gang. They carried them a
short distance and riddled them with
bullets. The mob turned about as soon
as it had completed its work and at the
first crossing separated and disappeared
as silently os they had as-einhlod.
Tho mob gained admission by the old
trick of two meu ringing the bell and an
swering the chalkngo by giving the narao
of a well-knowu officer, Hugh Williams,
of White Haven, and ssy ng they had a
prisoner for tho jail.
Great exeiument prevailed among ihe
negroes, and threats of vengeance were
free'y mad'.*. Latest dispatches, how
ever, givo no ir.timntiou of further
trouble, although word reached Mcm-
r this that tho negroes were assembling in
arge numbers ut “The Curve.” Judge
Dub^e immediately equipped 150 men
with Winchesters and they left for that
locality.

A New Yotk dispatch of Friday says:
The officers of the Richmond Terminal
Company will make no vigorous light
ugliest tin- movement to place the Cen
tal rni'roaJ in the hands of a permanent
receiver. They believe in the first place
that the fight is being made by Mr.
K uutrec and other lawyers simply for
the purpose of making a reputation for
themselves personally. They likewise
sty that n fight would be useless, because
it seems to them that Judge Bpeer has
already do.erm nod in his own inind to
appoint a permanent receiver.

THE CASE POSTPONED.
Judff* Speer will C onsider the Central

A Macon, (ia., dispntch says: The
United States courtroom was crowded
with attorneys and apoctatora Monday
morning »t 10 o'clock whon tho Central
receivership cose waa called.
Tho first motion after the court waa
called to order, waa a formal introduc
tion of Mr. Rountreo, of Mr. J. Lamb
Ferry, of Charleston. Mr. Erwin, as at
torney for Mr. Haiscltiuo, of lloaton,
asked to bo made a party to tho suit.
Then Major Bacon arose and aiked to bo
mndo a party, and presented quite
a lengthy bill, carefully drawn.
His bill lohoarsea all tin charges
made ng last tho Control and
Terminal; charged thnt tho Terminal
was now being managed hy oontlnentil
wreckers, nnd struck deep for blood
with many deelamatoiy paragraph*.
This bill is much larger tlmn the Roun
treo ami Ferry hill, and covers a greater
icopo. He charges distinctly insolvency
on the road* leasing tho Central, both
the Terminal nnd its leased roads —
nnd that tho purposo of theso roads
to bo to wreck tho Central.
Mr. Rountree said beforo announcing

Micoossor of W. L. Bragg, dacoaaod, for

fore tho president had docidcd to appoint
Mr. Clement*. Ho was about to aend tha
nomination to tho aonate when
a protest was inado. But for
this Mr. dementi would have been
unpointed a month ago. Since that
time tho president has made inquiries
about Mr. Glcmcnta and camo to the
oonclu ion that no better man could be
found in tho country to (ill this high
office. Il pays $7,500 a year, and Mr.
Clement* will have a private secretary at
$1,800 a year. The position rank# next

SOUTH CAROLINA FARMERS
Are Cautious tad the Cotton Aareaga
Will be Greatly Reduced.
The Intent statistics show tnat there
will bo a decrease of from 40 to 10 per
oent. in tho fertilizer trade of Charleiton,
8. G\, ns oom pared with list year. This
pees to show that there will be a decrease
in tho acreage of cotton, owing to tha
extremely conservative way in which all
merchant* throughout the entire south
must necessarily coudnot tholr business
during the present year, thus reducing
to n large exUut, the aid th* y have boon
ia the habit of extending to far

in their acreage. All indi
cations point to much leas ahipments
during March nnd April of this year as

nnd as numbers of essiern manufacturers
have reduoed their shipments to the
south very largely as compared with Inst
