The senate finance committee Tuesday
decided to iepi rt adversely Senator But

of the balance of the fuud of $500,000
appropriated for the payment, of the di
rect tax collected in South Carolina.
It has been agreed by both factions in
the house that a bill to rep- a! the Sher
man silver law will be considered on the
9th and lOtli of February. Several of
the free coinage men announced that,
while they were willing to debate it, they
will filibuster agamst i s passage unless it
can be amended to suit the views of the
free coinage democrats.
The senate spent four hours Wednes
day in executive session discuss’ng the

court of the District of Columbia. When
It came io a tote IK re was no atiempt to
filibuster, the vote Et Hiding 34 for con
firmation to 13 for opposition. Because
of the failure to adopt the usual lesolu-
tion notifying the president of the con
firmation the result was not formally an
nounced at the conclusion of the senate.
The republican caucus Tuesday after
noon decided by a majority vote to take
favorable actioD upon the admission of
the territories of Oklahoma, Utah and
New Mexico, but left Arizona out in the
cold. This result was not attained until
aftir a prolonged discussion. The cau
cus was called in pursuance of a request
signed by Senator Dubqis and several
others of the northwestern seuators, and
was devoted entirely to a discussion of
the proposition to admit these territories
to statehood.

provided for in ’he law for the current

committee leaving this appropriation out

Mr. Fellows’ resolution providing for
an investigation on the Panama railroad

limiting the inquiry to the effect of re

and providing for an examination of

continental railroads and their bearing
upon the stc mship subsidy act.
All the pepers relating to the resolu-
' i r, offered by Mr. Burrows, proposing
an ii vestigation of the whisky trust,
have bceu referred to Mr. Reed, one of

the judiciary committee for considera

is likely that this course will be
adopted. It will be conducted by the

The remains of Justice L, Q. C. La

home in Vineville, Thursday and Friday
ti:wiling, were viewed by a great many
of those who bad known and loved the
dead Justice. Many saw him, however,
for tbe first time, but even they had Vowe,
admired aDd respected him. Mrs. La
mar, the widow of the dead justice, was
still overwhelmed with grief, but with
that courage for which ghe is noted, con
trolled her emotions enough to see a few
friends and relatives. To her the loss
indeed a sad blow—the lover of her
youth and the consort of her declining
years lies cold in the embrace of death.
Her feelings must indeed be sad.

for pork, 15 cents fur lard, with a declin
ing tendency in rice and oaval stores.
The most serious t fleet of the extreme
cola weathei south is the practical stop
page of traffic by water. This was felt
unfavorably most conspicuously at Balti
more and favorably, probtbiy, at Birm

ments font New Orleans and Mobile,
present and prospective, have been met

and west and south, has been mate
rially restricted, isavanuan aud Charles
ton report low and unsatisfactory prices
for naval stures, due to overproduction,
but that the producer and dealer are ar
ranging to restrict the output and stiffen
prices.
At Chattanooga iron industries are rea
sonably quiet. At Augusta the cotton
mill prospect is good, but not equal to
that of a year ago, owing to higher
prices for cotton, while clothes have not
advanced in price proportionally. While
R chmond’s general trade is of good
value the movement oi produce, particu
larly tobacco, has been checked by tbe
cold weather, while iron, foundries are
unable to meet demands from a like
cause.
Georgia fa'mers, Atlanta wires, are
raising more cereals and will continue to
have to buy less, while higher prioes for

WHAT DUN SAYS.
Dun’s i’view says: Tbe volume of do
mestic trade continues larger than last
year, but exro*V* are decidedly smaller
from New York; in ’breo weeks of Jan
uary $8,592,861 below t-.6 same weeks
last year. As imports are meaawb'.’i®
very heavy for two weeks of January,
$8,919,130 more than, last year, the pros
pects of further gold exports canses no
turprse. 'Ihere is much hesitation re
garding the action of congress on vari
ous measures and the uncertainty about
silver purchasis. The repeal prospects
of the aDti-option bill and the defeat of
the interstate commerce act influenced
the markets and trade to some extent.
Tnere is also a somewhat general in
crease in complaints about collections, al
though money at nearly all markets is

says: Lord Ciomer called upon the kbe-

Mr. Gladstone intended to abandon
Egypt. Some surprise was expres
sed at the Dews from Cairo that
Lord Cromer bad expressed him
