CONGRESSIONAL.
WHAT THE NATIONS’ i. Vtv-Jl A
KICKS ARK POINTS.
The Proceedings of Both Houses
Briefly Epitomized,
THE SENATE.
The senate began its 11 o’clock ses¬
sions Wednesday, rendered necessary
by the pressing demands of the appre¬
ciation bills. Mr. Junes, of Arkansas,
in charge of the silver bill, which
still held its advantages as the unfin¬
ished business, circulated among his
associates. Air. Platt, republican, of
Connecticut, Mr. Higgins, republican,
of Delaware, arid other republican
senators were evidently prepared to
carry forward the Opposition to the
silver bill and Mr. Higgins secured
the floor for a speech but Mr. Jones
soon came forward with an important
announcement ‘The friends of
too regular order-—the Wish silver bill,"
said he, “have no to risk
the danger of an extra session of
congress. They so stated at the out¬
set. The events have shown that this
danger might be incurred and that the
great, appropriation bills might be put
in jeopardy. For that reason, the
friends of the silver bill have author¬
ized roe to say that it will not bo fur¬
ther pressed at the present session of
congress.” The presiding officer pre
ented the Wolcott silver resolution,
declaratory ratio of in favor of silver coinage
at a lfi to 1, but stating that
it was inexpedient at this late day in
the session to take up the silver bill.
Mr. Call sought to take up the Indian
appropriation bill but it was cat off by
objection. Mr, Higgins thon address¬
ed the senate on the Wolcott resolu¬
tion. Ho argued that it was meaning¬
less and could effect nothiug. It
would not reccivo executive approval
even if it went through congress. He
said the repeal of the Sherman law was
notice to the world that the United
Btates would no longer bo the patient
ass to bear the burden of silver, At
12 o’clock, the hour of unfinished bus¬
iness arrived aud a sharp controversy
arose as to the precedence of various
bill* L’ho Wolcott resolution, under
the rules, went to the calendar Mr.
Gorman the fruitless appealed to senators to atop
discussion on tbo pending
Wolcott resolution, aud to take up the
appropriation bills which were de¬
manding attention, if it was hoped to
puss them. He then moved to take up
tho ludiiiu appropriation bill. Mr.
Butler, in charge of tho pooling bill,
objected, and demanded a, roll call.
The motion prevailed—55 to 12 rim
effect of the vole was to displace the
silver bill rs tbe unfinished business,
and to send it back to the calendar.
Tho riulian appropriation bill being
taken up Mr. Higgins continued his
interrupted speech on tbo finances.
There were just sixteen senators
present when the 11 o’clock session of
the senate opened Thursday, and Mr.
Walcott, republican, of Colorado, sug¬
gested the absence of a quorum. Sena¬
tors were hurriedly Summoned and
forty-responded, two more than the
necessary number. Mr. Irby, demo¬
crat, of South Carolina, presented cre¬
dentials of B. R, Tillman from South
Carolina, for the term beginning
March -1 next, Mr. Turpie, democrat,
of North Dakota, offered a resolution
from tho committee oh foreign rela¬
tions, expressing the high apprecia¬
tion of tho senate ns to the distin¬
guished honors accorded by the Mexi¬
can government on tho occasion of
the obsequies of the United States
minister, Mr. Gray, and directing the
secretary of state to forward copies of
tho resolution to tho authorities of
Mexic The resolution was agreed
to. The house joint resolution was
passed for tho suspension of certain
features of the law antheming tho
transportation of goods through the
United States to Iho free stouo of Mex
ico, so long as the Mexicm free zone
law exists. The senate rejected tho
motion of Mr. Gorman to reconsider
its action in adopting tho conference
report amending the income tax, and
then took up the Indian appropriation
bill. Mr. Gorman’s purpose was to re
quire corporations to make report * of
all iheir high salaried officials
The Rev. Dr. Milbnrn, the blind

n WE APPLAUD THE RIGHT AND CONDEMN THE WRONG.”
The Indian appropriation bill was
passed in the senate late in Saturday’s
. ! session, having occupied the attention
of the body for four full days. Its
i eeri.ilderaiic.iB was interrupted at 3
| o’clock p, m. by a motion bill, to take up
i and consider the pooling but that
. motion was defeated by the very de
I ciaive vote of 24 for and 42 against.
After the bill was thus shelved, for the
present at least, a somewhat angry dis¬
cussion upon it was started and was
kept up for nearly two hours, with
Senators Butler, democrat, of South
Carolina : Gorman, democrat, of Mary¬
land ; Chandler, republican, of New
Hampshire, and Wolcott, republican,
of Colorado, as the participants. At
1:30 o’clock p. m. while the Indian bill
was under consideration a message was
received from the president, and as the
sheet lists of of nominations yellow tissue paper on which hand¬
appear was
ed around among the senators nearest
the principal entrance door, it. was
known that it contained the nomina¬
tion of Senator Hansom,of North Car¬
olina, as United States minister to
Mexico. Senator Blackburn, ns soon
as he looked at the list moved
that the senate proceed to exec¬
utive business. There was no ob¬
jection; the galleries were cleared arid
the doors closed; and, within five
minutes the public was again admitted,
the nomination of Mr. Ratooni having
been in the meantime instantly and
unanimously approved and confirmed.
The pending business was resumed.
After the passage of the Indian appro¬
priation bill, the sundry civil appro¬
priation bill was laid before the sen¬
ate and became the unfinished busi¬
ness The sci r ion closed with, the de
livery of eulogies on the late Repre¬
sentative Shaw, of Wisconsin, and the
senate, at (5:85 o’clock, adjourned un¬
til Monday at 31 o’clock.
THE HOUSE.
At thc opeuing of tho session of the
house Wednesday some time was spent
in unraveling a tangle produced by
tho passage by the house under a mis¬
apprehension of a bill to increase the
pension of Thomas Corrigan, late
company B, 888 Illinois infantry, to
$50 per month. The bill was returned
to the house in response to a resolu¬
tion, and by unanimous consent the
vote was again taken cm the recom¬
mendation of the ooinmittea of the
whole that, the bill lie ou tho table.
Messrs. Hull and Larey, of Iowa, in¬
sisted that the bill was meritorious
and that the recommendation of the
committee of the whole should be dis¬
agreed to, and this action was taken
by a vote of 48 to 100. Mr. Savers’ ;
motion to strike out the provision in
the house for the three new brittle
ships in the naval appropriations bill,
was lost—43 to 121.
The house, Thursday, by a vote of
lit to 152 refused to concur in the
senate amendment to the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill, ap¬
propriating $500,000 for the H aw
aiiai) cable.
Four large American flags fluttered
from the dome of the American capi
tol Friday in honor of Washington's
birthday. * The house wore a holiday
aspect. When the speaker called the
house to order today at 11 o’clock,
less than fifty members were present. !
On motion of Mr. Bynum the senate’s
joint resolution was adopted, extend
tog to Mexico the thanks of congress
for the high honors paid to Isaac 1*.
Gray, the late United Slates minister
to that country. The speaker an

sum wore to bo published. Five years
bad elapsed, he said, and yet but two

JESUP, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28 , 189 ;)
FROM WASHINGTON.
NEWSY ITEMS PICKED UP AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITOL.
Sayings and Doings of the Otflcial
Head* of the Government.
Senator Milk ha* given notice of
the following amendment to the sun¬
dry civil appropriation bill; “And all
laws which authorize the secretary of
the treasury to sell bonds of the
United States for any purpose ere
hereby repealed The amendment
is intended to follow the paragraph in
the bill making provision for the col¬
lection, safekeeping, transfer and dis¬
bursement of public money, and for
transportation of notes, bonds and
other securities.
Chairman Hatch, of the agricultural
committee, says ho proposes to de¬
mand a vote in the hour® upon the
resolution to print the dairy tests
made at the World's fair, which reso¬
lution was adversely reported by the
committee on printing on account of
the cost involved, Mr. Hatch ways
that the results of these tests are of
inestimable advantage to dairymen of
all sections, and ha does not propose
to let the verdict of three men pre¬
vent the publicity of the tests.
For Increasing the Navy.
In the senate naval affairs comm ittee
a resolution was adopted by the unan¬
imous vote of the committee, reconi*
mending the increase of the navy as
provided in the new naval appropria¬
tion bill as passed by the house. The
action was taken merely as an expres¬
sion on the part of the committee to
the senate committee on appropria¬
tions. The committee agreed to report
an amendment to the naval bill for
the appropriation of $100,000 for a
dock yard at Mare Island, and another
providing that officers of the navy de¬
tailed for shore duty shall receive sea
pay while performing this duty. The
latter amendment passed the senate as
a part of the naval bill of last session,
but was defeated in the house.
Murray W as Too Late.
Representative Murray, of South
Carolina, the only colored member of
the house of representatives, endeav¬
ored unsuccessfully Saturday to secure
favorable action upon a resolution per¬
mitting the remains of the late Fml
Douglass to lie in state in the rodunta
of the capitol during Sunday. The
mat ter was brought to the attention of
Speaker Crisp too late to be presented
to the house before the execution of the
special order, the delivery of eulogies
upon the late Senator Vance, was en¬
tered on. He informed Mr. Murray
that had he given notice of his desire
to present the resolution earlier in the
day be would have given him an op¬
portunity to offer it for the action of
the house.
Uncle Sum’s Bond Account,
Here is a little table showing how
the bond account stands:
Face of loan, $(12,315,000.
Syndicate premium at 104.49—$2,-
797,943.
United States gets $65,112,943.
Wliat inside jobbers pay, $69,948,-
887
Inside Jobbers profit to 118—583,
US.
Tho public pays and the United
States should have received $73,531,-
700
The United Stales has lost $8,418,
Compounded as a sinking fund at 4
per cent for thirty years this lost profit
would be $27,028,076, or nearly one
half tho original loan.
Return DostriJ Cards.
The house committee on postoffices
and poBt roads has ordered a favorable
report on the bill to extend the uso of
the mail service by authorizing the
use of postal cards and envelopes with
return coupons attached. These cards
and envelopes are patented and owned
by the United States Economic Post
age Association, and before their cards
and envelopes are put in use they are
required to give a bond of §100,000 to
guarantee the redemption of return
coupons. The committee also author
ized a favorable report on the bill to
credit Irwin Tucker, postmaster at
Newport News, Va., with $4,196 tor
stamps and $83 for money order funds
stolen from hie office in February,
1894.
.loaes’s Bill Wlthclrawo.
Senator ........................ Jones and tha other silver ,
meu j, ave abandoned tho fight for the
passage ________ of _ the free ........... Coinage bill, or for
„ resolution declaring for free coin
age | n the senate. Thev did not push
the matter flirt her beoatm by so doing
|t might have delayed tho passage of
appropriation bills and have brought
about an extra session. Further,
there was nothing to be gained by
pushing the matter. It was evident
that owing to dilitory tactics no free
coinage bill could pass during the few
remaining days of this session, aud as
^ senate bad, by a maioritv of nine
expressed its sentiments in favor of
the free coinage of silver, -it was u«e
lews to push the matter further
The Secretary Notified,
United States Treasurer Jordan sent
this telegram to Assistant Secretary
Curtis Wednesday afternocou:
New fork February 20, n 2 :J0 p.
m.—Inform the secretary that the
syndicate has completed the matter of
the purchase of gold coin on this side
**»d bate now turned in $123,000,000
gold coin in exchange for United
Btates notes rn excess of contract.”
This is uudesstood to mean that
po.000,000 by the Belmont-Morgan in gold have been syndicate secured in
j America for payment of the l omuls,
! the balancri,nearly §35,000,090, having
j been secured m London, when inure
| than four times the allotment for that
«Ws we« tttprifHlfli tvtt f#f fi| r .
052,370 in gold have beam received by
the treasury from the syndicate and
822,000,820 in certificates issued to it.
It will probably bo several weeks be¬
fore the bonds ara ready for delivery.
Fay tor the Sugar tirowers.
There is every probability that the
senate will pass the bill paying to su¬
gar growers of this country a bounty
on all sugar grown up to the time the
new tariff act went into effect and on
all that will bo produced under licenses
authorized prior to the repeal of the
McKinley act up to the time of the
expiration of those licenses, -July
1st next. An amendment to this
effect will be offered in the senate
to the sundry civil bill as a commit¬
tee amendment. The vote on this
question, when the matter was in the
committee, was a tie, owing to the ab¬
sence of Mr, .Callous, who is sick. For
this reason it was not made a part of
the bill, but the omission was made
with the understanding that an amend¬
ment should be reported in accord¬
ance with the views of Mr. (lullon),
and the amendment should have all
the force a-s if originally reported by
the committee as a part of the bill.
Mr. Allison is now engaged in drawing
up the amendment. It will carry an
appropriation of between $4,000,000
and $5,000,000, and will give a bounty
of 2 cents a pound on all sugar pro¬
duced up to August 28th and 8-.10 of a
cent a pound on all sugar made under
licenses that were granted prior to the
repeal of the bounty law.
COTTON AND FERTILIZERS.
South Carolina Farmer* Vote to Re¬
duce the Acreage.
A convention of ailiaucemea and
farmers called by President Evans to
consider the fertilizer and cotton
acreage questions, met in the hall of
the house of representatives at Colum¬
bia, 8. 0., Wednesday night. It in¬
cluded about fifty representative plant¬
ers from all sections of the stale. Con¬
gressman-elect J. William Stokes intro¬
duced a series of resolutions suggesting
that farmers purchase commercial fer¬
tilizers upon a contract to pay for
them in cotton currency on November
1st, For acid phosphate, 175 pounds
in middling cotton, or $10 in money
per 190 ton, was suggested; for kainit,
pounds or $11, and fo v ammonia
ted fertilizers 800 pounds or $17—
.these prices to be for the goods free
on board in Charleston. Freight, if
prepaid by sender, is to be paid in
cotton at 5 cents.
It was resolved, also, that planters
use as little commercial fertilizer as
possible, and several speeches were
made favoring its total, disuse. With
regard to the cotton acreage, it was
resolved fhat it bo cut down to the
point at which cotton may be produced
strictly as a surplus crop and without
interfering with the productions of
bread and meat and other supplies
necessary to Sustain farming opera¬
tions. A resolution favoring a hori¬
zontal reduction of 33 per cent, after
debate, was lost.
'i ho railroads were asked to reduce
the freights on fertilizers 20 per cent.
A committee was appointed to issue an
address to the farmers setting forth
the action of the convention, and, at
11.15 p. m., the convention adjourned.
It was declared in the convention that
the suggestions were to be considered
as merely advisory and not binding
upon those present. In ail the speeches
a strong sen timent in favor of reducing
the acreage was manifested.

THE MINES ABLAZE
AND TWENTY CONVICTS STIFLED
BY SMOKE.
two of Them are Dead—'Twenty
three Mules Also Perish.
A Birmingham, Ala,, special says
Shortly after 2 o'clock Sunday morn
tog the engine room in the rock slope
at Pratt mines was discovered on fire.
In the slope there were twenty con¬
victs and the first they knew of tha
fire was the dense smoke that began
filling the vacant space. The men
huddled in a bunch an! found fresh
air at the air shaft. It was decided to
stick together, and as the air became the
more and more suffocating with
hot smoke, they ail began to give up
hope.
John Patton and Louis Stevens de¬
serted the crowd and attempted to
make their way to the cage leading
out of the mine. They were not seen
alive any more.
In the stable in the mines wore
twenty-three fine mine tunics. As soon
as they began smelling the dense
smoke they set up a loud bellowing.
Through the entire mines the noise of
the suffocating animals corild be heard.
As soon as possible an alarm, was
given on the outside. Willing hands
wont to work and were fighting the
fire.
Three hours after the discovery was
mads the fire was extinguished. The
fire was of incendiary origin, as no tiro
i» used in the engine, compressed
staam being the power, sent in from
the outside.
The fire, after destroying the little
room, caught to seven tram cars and
the oil that was about the place caused
the smoke to be thicker.
As soon aa the fire fighters could get
beyond the engine room a horrible
sight met their eyes. One of the
men’s heads was battered almost to a
jelly, as he tried to kill himself before
suffocating.
The mules had kicked one another
almost to a pulp.
The other eighteen men were gotten
out, and though none will die, several
arc in quite a bad condition. The
mules were worth $3,000.
The dead convicts were sent up for
grand larceny from south Alabama.
OUR NEW MINISTER TO MEXICO.
Senator Ransom, of North Carolina,
Nominated and Confirmed.
The president Saturday "sent to the
senate the nomination, of Senator Matt
W. Ransom, of North Carolina, to be
envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary Mexico. of the United States
to
Mr, Immediately after the nomination of
Ransom was received, Mr, Black¬
burn moved an executive session, and
the nomination was forthwith taken up
and confirmed by the uoaimous vote
of the senate.
Senator Ransom is admirably equip¬
ped for any diplomatic mission. He,
has served in the senate for nearly four
consecutive terms, is a born diplomat,
speaks French and Spanish, and is
Latin thoroughly ?it home in the Greek and
classics. He is sixty-eight years
old, but is strong and active. He,
last fall, made a most vigorous cam¬
paign of h: a "state, speaking nearly ev¬
ery day, and often traveling all night.
For twelve years he has been a rneta
ber of. the national democratic aud the
national executive committees.

A special dispatch from the city of
Mexico says The severe illness of
Emilo DeLeon, Guatemalan minister
to Mexico, lias delayed active negotia¬
tions on. tiw international boundary
question which has now resolved itself
largely to routine business, auditing
work and diplomatic correspondence.
It has been generally accepted bow for
over a week that there is not the
slightest prospect for war. unless things
should take an utterly unlocked for
torn.
General Louis Torres, governor of
riorums, w ho ban been emnluctiug tho
oatupaigu against the rebellious Yaqui
Indians, baa been summoned to report
in tiiis capital. It is thought his coin¬
ing lias a bearing on the Mexican
forces now on the Guatemalan frontier,
but as the amount of indemnity to
.Mexico is practically all of the ques¬
tion now fit issue between the two gov¬
ernments, this is denied as a reason for
hi* coming.

A BIG CHUNK' OF GOLD.
!'nele Sum is borrowing $,50,000,OCR)
in gold to chink up tho cracks in the
Trcusury How big a chunk do you
gooss this amount of gold would
make? If you could count a dollar
a second it would take you over a
year and allowing a half to merciy count it
over, no time for sleep or
meals.- It would make a solid cube
five and a half feet cm a side. If you
rolled it into ths form of a ball it
would be six and a half feet in dia
meter And yet it is over this com
panttively small mass of yellow metal
that tbo great American Nation is
now worrying.
! THE IK.Mffll OF A BAY
Perhaps you do not know that, the
quickest and readiest way to find tho
length of the day is to double t he
time of the sutr's setting. Tbe length
of ! lie night may be found in like
manner by doubling the time of the
sun s rising.
On the 21st of June, for example,
the sun sets at 7:30 o'clock in this
latitude. Twice 7:30 gives fifteen
hours, the length of that day I'ho
sun rises on ‘that day at 1:30, and
twice 4:30 gives nine hours a- the
length of the night. The fifteen
hours of daylight and the nine
of night make up tho whole day of
twenty-four, hours.
This rule is not exact to a minute
hut ,t is good enough for all pract:
cal purposes, —[Detroit Free Press.
