WILLIAM AND BIN WIPE DISCUSS
SERPENTS PRO AND COW.
A Time When Everybody Was Demor¬
alized Except Noah and Bis
Family.
The peafowls stirred up a small
garter snake down in the grove and
they raised such a rumpus as to attract
my wife’s attention. The reptile came
dipping along through the grass to¬
ward tbe house and she screamed for
me, of coarse. It came in the front
yard and I killed it by the atone step,
but ay wife never believes a snake is
dead as long as its tail wiggles. I had
to keep on killing it to satisfy her, and
then hang it up in a tree to make it
rain. It is awful dry up here, but
now I reckon it will just pour down
eome time. This is the second snake
that has ever been seen here, but my
wife says she knows that the place ia
just haunted with them. They always
go in pairs, she says. “Moses men¬
tions only one,” said I, “aid dident
mention any until after Eve was cre¬
ated. Probably Adam lived and
worked in that garden alone for many did
years and he got as sick of it aa
Bobinson Crusoe. Then Eve was
crested for Adam’s express company,
and they got along very well until the
serpent beguiled her,” “Yes, and the
poor woman has to bear all the blame
of our sin and misery," said my wife.
“Adam said *Tbe woman Thou gavest
me did give unto me and I did eat.’
Why dident Eve say the man Thou
didst make mo for did not protect me
from tbe wiles of that smooth-tongued
serpent. He let me eat first and take
•11 tbe risk of the danger. Tbs old
autocrat. No telling how long he had
bees acquainted with tbe serpent for
he knew all the animals and had
mingled with them and had dominion
over them and had given them all
names long before Eve was crested.”
“No doubt of It,” said I, “for Jose¬
phus says that the serpent lived in the
house with Adam and waa very hand¬
some and very smart and oould talk.
Perhaps they played marbles together
•ad went in s-waabing.”
«*Yes,” said Mrs. Arp, "and tbe
Lord gave tbe command to Adam

Eva was born.”
“She wsaent born,” said I.
“Pity aba was not,” said she. “Than
aka would have had a mother who
would have proteoted her from tbe
serpent and from Adam, too. Tbe

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Bradstrset’s Review of Business for
tbe Fast Weak.
Bradstreet’s review of the condition
and prospects of trade issued for tbe
past week says:
“There i» relatively lew improve¬
ment in general trade this week, the
present partaking of a between-seasons
character. Wholesale merchants in
staple lines in many instances look
ahead with confidence to the anlumn,
and in such departments as agricultu¬
ral implements, building materials
and hardware thero is reported s mod¬
erate revival in demand. More fa¬
vorable reports are received from
Pittsburg, where merchants have
had the largest week’s trade thus
far this Season; Buffalo, where tbe
feeling is one of more confidence, and
from Atlanta and New Orleans, where
request in wholesale lines is more act¬
ive. At Baltimore wholesalers annonnoe
only a fair business and that interior
dealers have not disposed of stocks as
rapidly as anticipated. The movement
of goods from Galveston is not active,
but in view of the large Texas acreage
of ootton, mors oonfldenoe is felt that
fall trade will meet expectations. New
Bullish speculation in the York

of gold shipments and the halt in the
London market caused by events in

Quotations for southern pig iron have
been ont, as are those for the few sales
of Bessemor pig and billets made by
middle men. In addition to changes
in prioes of Iron and stool, higher quo¬
tations are annonnoed for coffee, . oot¬
ton, petroleum and anthraoite coal,
while print cloths and lumber are
praotioally unchanged. Cotton goods
are depressed, notwithstanding the
strength of ootton. Lower prices are
noted for wheat, flour, corn,oats,pork,
lard and anger. The reaction in quo¬
tations for shoes has brought prices
down to the level of 1894, at whioh
the factories are fairly busy, and have

ROUTINE OF HOU9K AND SENATE
BRIEFLY CHRONICLED.
Summary of Bills aed Resolution*
Presented aad Acted Upon
THX HOUSE
The house was plunged almost im¬
mediately after it assembled for Wed¬
nesday’s session into a mild and
diminutive repetition of the debates in
the senate Tuesday regarding the
revenue and expenditures of the
government. McCormick, of New York, asked
Mr. light¬
the consideration of a bill for a
house on Orient Point, L, L, which
led Mr, Dockery, of Missouri, to
warn the house against appropriating that
money for any improvement indispensable.

The direct appropriations at
term of congress he figured up would
be $512,000,000, and of contracts au¬
thorized to be entered to $93,541,000,
making the grand tot^l for which this
congress would be responsible at this
term over $650,000,000. He deolared
that current revenue was not equal to
current expenditures, and bad not been

Bell’s right to tbe seat, was agreed presented to.

The remainder was
in committee of the whole in discuss¬
ing the bankruptcy bill, that bill being
supported by Mr. Connolly, of Illi¬
nois, and antagonized by Mr. Stone,
of Pennsylvania; Mr. Newlands, of
Nebraska, and Mr. Broderick, of Kan¬
sas. Mr. Newlands made a 16 to 1
free silver speech, asserting that that
alone would afford substantial relief.
At 5:05 p. m. the house adjourned
until Thursday. Mr. McCall,
In iiabS&ohuseets, the bon?*, Thursday,
of chairman, reported
from elections committee No. 2 the
resolutions agreed upon by the com¬
mittee in the contests of John A.
Brown versus John M. Allen, from the
first Mississippi distriot; of W. P.
Radcliffe versus John E. Williams,
from the fifth Mississippi district, and
of A. M. Newman versus J. G. Spen¬
cer, from the seventh Mississippi dis¬
trict, declaring the oontestees—Allen,
Williams and Spencer—entitled to the
seats severalty occupied by them. The
resolutions were agreed to without dis¬
cussion or division.
The ground of oontest in eaoh case
was that a oertain section of the Mis¬
sissippi constitution relating to emo¬
tions contravened the law of congress
providing for the representation of
Mississippi in the house, and that no
valid eleotion was or could have been
held under ftst section. It was thought
best and right to odnfirm tbe titles of
the sitting members to their seats.
Five hours were devoted to a further
consideration of the bankruptcy bill,
daring which time the general debate
was closed. The discussion developed
the foot that the house of was praotioslly providing

THU HEHATK.
After tiie senate had disposed of the
naval bill at Wednesday’s session the
remainder of the day was Mr. given up to
political speeches. Teller an¬
nounced iu unmistakable terms his
resolution to break away from the re¬
publican party, if its action in the St.
Louis convention did not suit his views
and sentiments on the silver question,
while Mr. Sherman deolared his readi¬
ness to conform his action on that
question to the decision of the Ameri¬
can people at the polls next December.
Without any action on the naval bill,
the senate, at. 6 o’clock p. m., .ad¬
journed. busi¬
Immediately after the routine
ness in the senate Thursday the naval
appropriations bill was taken up, the
pending question being the amendment
offered by Mr. Gorman Wednesday re¬
ducing the number of battleships pro¬
vided for in the bill from four to two,
and the amendment to that amend¬
ment by Mr. Quay to increase the
number to six. *•
The naval bill had the undivided at¬
tention of the senate but when
the session closed no progress had been
made upon it beyond the exclusion,
on a point of order of Mr. Quay’s
amendment to increase the number of
battleships from four to v six. Mr.

number to two held itB place before

Ben Tillman and Dave Hill crossed
swoards in the senate Friday to the
great amusement of the senators and
galleries. Senator Tillman took the
floor 1 early in the day and chunked
thaf brick he had been carrying in his
pocket for Senator Hill. Indeed hs
chunked a pocket full of bricks at the
New Yorker, and Mr. Hill responded
with vigor. The fight lasted nearly
four hours and was altogether the fun¬
niest display seen in the senate
season. While stinging words were
exchanged, both men kept in good" tem :

great amusement of the republicans.
After all it was a displayof buffoon¬

and was so thoroughly
that the entire senate was

Mr. Tillpan that

He did not know where he would go.
He oould not go into the populist party,
but he would get out of the
party, for such aotion would mean
it was dead.
Hill replied that he would be
in the democratic party whatever
its platform, apd that be would

“If you keep on the way yon are

While Mr. Hill was replying,

Mr. Tillman declared
Cleveland has no financial policy ex¬
cept that of Senator Sherman, and said
that Secretary Carlisle and Senator
Sherman had exactly the same notions.
Whenever be mentioned Carlisle he
meant Sherman, for they were inter¬
changeable, except that the one was
honest to his friends, the bankers,
while the other had proved treacher¬
ous to his party.
“If silver coinage were established
Lv congress,” he said, when he got on
another stack, “there would be an ef¬
fort by the shylocks to foreclose their
mortgages and thus reap the fruits of
their roguery. They are now swallow¬
ing us by degrees and I would prefer
to be swallowed all at once, like Jonah,
and be done with it.” (Laughter.)
“The senator from New York,\ Mr.
Tillman continued, “asked me what I
was going to do with South Carolina
at Chicago. I will say this to him. I
expect to do my level best as a demo¬
crat to keep my party back oat of the
woods of repnblicsnism, and to throw
off all the slough and rottenness that it
has accumulated during the last thre<
years. Bat if boodle is to win at Chi¬
cago, then I am willing to take my hat
and bid the senator from New York
and all like him a long farewell.”
This sentence was declared in such a
ludicrous manner as to provoke a gen¬
eral laugh throughout the chamber.
The debate came about while Can¬
dler’s torpedo boat amendment was
under discussion. Devoting only- a
few sentences to the amendment, then
leaving the question of ships, Jur, till

various speeches made at various times
and places, by various men, some sen
ators and some not.” He proceeded
to criticise one of the speeches made
some time ago by Mr. Hill in defense
of the administration in issuing bonds,
and characterized Mr. Hill’s argument
on that point as the “tyrant’s plea for
necessity.” bill, whioh
The naval appropriation
has been under consideration in the
senate daring the entire week, was
passed Saturday and now it will be for
ti conference committee to reconcile
the disagreement between jthe two
houses.
The chief of these disagreements is
the reduction of the number of battle¬
ships provided for. The house fixed
the number at fotlr, the senate at two.
The ships are each to cost $3,750,000,
exclusive of armament.
The discussion during the day Mr. was
over an amendment offered by
Chandler, appropriating $4,000,000
for twenty additional torpedo boats.
Speeches were made in support of the
amendment by Senators Hawley and
Lodge, and against it by Senators
Wolcott and Gorman.
When the vote was taken the amend¬
ment was defeated by a vote of 39 to
23. The further amendments made by
the committee to the provisions for
the increase of the navy were agreed
to. The bill was finally reported from
the committee of the whole to the sen¬
ate, where all the amendments were
agreed to in bulk, except those special¬

were not tbe fault of tha contractors,
but were due to the aotion of the gov¬
