Appointments in the Various Depart

THE SENATE.
The senate, Monday, began the fifth
week of its extraordinary session with
fair attendance of senators in their seats
and with a large audience in the galler
ic«. The rights of three senators from
the states of Montana, Washington and
Wyoming to seats in the senate was dis
cussed in affirmation of that right by Mr
Turpin. Another question as to a sena
tor’s right to a seat was raised by the
presentation of a petition from Joseph
W. Ady, of Kansas, asserting that Mr.
Martin, who was "worn i"
senator from that state at the openin
of this extraordinary session, was
not duly elected and that be, Ady, now
desires to bo admitted to the seat. Mr.
Stewart presented resolutions of the Ne
vada legislature in favor of the passa u
of an act for refunding the indebtednes
of the Central Pacific Railroad Company
to the government, provided that the act
did not interfere with the free and un
limited coinage of silver—the principal
argument being that if the property of
the company should pass into the hand
of the government it would be exempt
from Btate aud local taxation. The rcso
lutions were referred. Mr. Hour
offered a resolution declaring
it inexpedient to pass the joint reso
lulion of the last house of represeuta
tives for a con-tifutional amendment for
the popular election of United States
senators. The report of the committee
on privileges and elections, in favor of
the admission of the three senators sp
pointed by the governors of Wyomie
Montana and Washington was then
taken and Mr. Tnrpie made an argument
in support of it. He devoted a good
deal of his argument to tfle meanin
the words “vacancy” and “happening,’
as used in the constitution with referenc
to the senate and coutended thut they were
not to be construed in a narrow sense of
an accidental occurrence, but must be re
garded as used in the most geueral sense.
When Mr. Turpie concluded his speech
Mr. Vest took the floor to address the
senate on the same subject, but yielded
to a desire for an executive session. lie
made a motion to that effect and the sen
ate thereupon proceeded to the consider
ation of executive business and after
wards adjourned until Tuesday.
At Tuesday session of the senate con
aideration of the report of the commit
tee on privileges and elections in favor
of tho admission of the senators ap
pointed by the governors of Montana,
Washington and Wyoming, was
Burned. Mr; Vest made an argument
against their admission. Mr. Vest closed
his speecli and Mr. Chandler obtained
the floor at 1:15 p. m. The senate then
on motion of Mr. Vance, proceeded to
executive business.
There were two speeches made in the
late Wednesday on the question of the
dmission of senators appointed by the
governors of Montana, Washington and
Wyoming, after tho legislatures of those
states had failed to elect. Both were
made by members of the committee on
privileges and elections, and were on
opposite sides of the question, and the
speakers were Messrs. Chandler and
Palmer. At the close of these speeches
Mr. Peffer obtained the floor, and the
matter went over until Thursday.
At Thursday’s session of the senate Mr.
Peffer made an argument in opposition
to the right of the senators appointed by
the governors of the states of Montana,
Washington and AVyoming to take their
seats in the senate; and Mr. Hoar com
menced a speech in support of a resolu
tion offered by him last Monday, declar
ing the proposed constitutional amend
ment for the election of senators by tho
people of the several states inexpedient.
Mr. Hoar did not conclude his speech.
He yielded the floor in order to allow ac-
tiou to be taken on the resolution for the
election of officers of the senate. The
resolution was agreed to without the
formality of a division after the deliv
ery of some half a dozen speeches (all
but one coming from tho democratic
side) in warm commendation of the char
acter, ability and efficiency of the pres
ent incumbents. The resolution was
ngrecd to electing William R. Cox, of
North Carolina, secretary of the senate;
Richard K. Bright, of Indiana, sergeant-
at-arms, and William II. Millburn, of
Illinois, popularly known as the blind
preacher, their term of office to begin on
the first day of the meeting of the fifty-
third congress, whether in extraordinary
or regular session. Mr. Hoar yielded
for a motion to proceed to executive
business, and after that business was dis
posed of, the senate adjourned until to
morrow.

A Washington special of Sunday says
As a result of the controversy between
Mark W. Harrington, chief of the weath
er bureau, and J. B. McLaughlin, ex
chief of division of the bureau, Mr,
Harrington has demanded of Secretary
Morton an immediate and full invest)
tion of the administration of the bureau
McLanghlm was suspended by Harring
ton for insubordination and recommend
ed to the secretary for dismissal. Me
I. au;hlin responded by filing charges
of corruption against Harrington. The
investigation is expected by the man
agement of the bureau to be made at
once.
Secretary Carlisle is having prepared
list of the employes of the treasury de
partment with the salaries they receive
and will have it arranged by states
When completed it will show the number
of employes credited to each state, the
aggregate salary the people from the
states receive, and a column showing
apportionment the states should receive
The list has been prepared already to
such an extent as to show a great dis
proportion among the states, some of the
s ates having many more clerks than is
allowed. The District of Columbia is
credited with 1,000 out of 4,000 em
ployes when its quota, it is said, should
only be 11 per cent. Secretary Carlisle,
it is understood, intends by every means
in his power to reduce the District oj
Columbia’s list of employes that the
states may receive their proper quota of
appointments.
The senate was in secret session Mon
day afternoon for more than a hour, and
at the end of that time only a few post
masters were given out as having been
confirmed. This was, however, the
most unimportant part of the session
The Behring sea conference and the cases
of the two governments were submitted
to the senate, but not read. The Rus
sian treaty was then taken up and de
manded ihe attention of the senators for
some time. The recent criticisms of
this treaty in the newspapers of the
country have given the instrument some
thing of a political tinge, and the senate
is no nearer a solution on the question—
whether or Dot to release the injunction
of secrecy—than it was a week or ten
ago. The discussion hinges upon
just what amount shall be made public.
No conclusion was reached when the
senate adjourned.
The following nomination were sent
the senate Monday: William Edmond
Curtis, of New York, to be assistant
secretary of the treasury, vice Genio M.
Lambertson, resigned; Charles S. Ham
lin, of Massachusetts, to be assistant
secretary of the treasury, vice John A.
Gear, resigned; James H. Eckies, of
Illinois, to be comptroller of the cur
rency; James F. Meline, of the District
of Columbia, to be assistant treasurer of
the United States; T. Strobo Farrow, of
South Carolina, to be second auditor of
the treasury; John B. Brawley, of Penn
svlvania, auditor of the treasury for the
postoffice department; James G. Willie,
of Florida, deputy fifth auditor of the
treasury. Postmasters—Jones G. Moore,

WHAT DUN BATS.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review says:
The fact of the largest influence in the
record of the past week has been the in
creased distribution of goods. The strin
gency often seen about April 1st does
not appear at New York, nor are other
money markets close. But while im
ports greatly exceed exports, it is not
safe to calculate that the outgo of gold
will not again disturb confidence. Hence
the break in speculation has its hopeful
side.
Instead of rising after the close of the
Lancashire strike, cotton fell 3-8 of a
cent, which may accelerate exports,
though stocks of American cotton in
Furope are still a third larger than usual
at this seasoD. Wheat at Chicago had a
sudden fall of 7 cents in one day, but as
prices there have been 15 to 20 cents
higher than at other western cities and
8 cents higher than at New York, mar
kets were little affected anywhere else.
The price in Great Britain is the lowest
ever known. Corn fell 2 1-2 cents with
small sales, and oats 112 cents aud the
break in hog products reached 75 per
cent per barrel in pork, and 1 cent in
lard. Exports in four weeks at New
York have been $75,115,000 less than
last year, indicating a total for the
month not far from $76,000,000, while
the increase in imports at New York
alone has been about $115,000,000, indi
eating a total for the month of more than
$67,000,000.
This great excess in imports, follow
ing the excess of $36,000,000 in January
and February, is the basis of doubts
about the immediate monetary future.
Failures in the first quarter of the year,
3,202 in number, were fewer than in
either of the past years, and though in
amount of liabilities larger, the average
of liabilities is still quite low, less than
$14,800.
The iron and steel business is a shade
firmer, with improved demand for bar
plates and structural forms aDd then raffs
do Dot sell. Bessemer iron is firm and
steel stronger. The strength in the shoe
trade is unabated. Copper is a shade
weaker; heavy supplies of tin have
checked the advance, while lead is a
shade stronger.
Coal is naturally weak with some dis
satisfaction in the pool. Lumber and
building material are everywhere in
strong demand, but the week’s receipts
of cattle at the west are rather small.
At Pittsburg the demand for finished
iron is large; glass is more active and
the coal stock has ceased. Rolled and
pig iron are in larger demand and high
er at Cleveland, and in Cincinnati the har
ness and carriage trades are fully at work.
Trade at Detroit exceeds last year’s. Chi
cago reports an increase over last year in
the trade for the quarter. Collections
have improved and the market is easier.
Receipts of wheat and butter are
larger than last year, but other products
smaller, especially of grain and
wool. Trade at Milwaukee is good, but
collections unusually low. Minneapolis
reports fair trade with a large output of
flour, and at St. Paul more life. Busi

A Nnshvillespecial of Wednesday says:
It having become generally understood
that, at an early date, United States Dis
trict Judge D. M. Key, of the middle
and eastern districts of Tennessee, would
retire, candidates for the place are com
ing forward rapidly. Around Sliddle
Tennessee applicants so far announced
are John House, of Frankiin, and John

A southbound through freight train on
tbe Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
railway was wrecked Wednesday night.
The enuine turned over on Buffalo Bluff
drawbridge, six miles below Palatka, and

ford ; J. H. Olmstead, firemen, of Bir
mingham, and J. A. Lewis, of Boston,

The city of Florence, S. O., wa3 the
scene of a quarter of a million dollar fire
early 3Iond.iy morning. The fire broke :
out in the grocery store of D. F. Parker |
by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. At j
least a score of buiidings were destroyed. |
Among them are the Central hotel. Bank
500 to. Auditor Peeples for his service iu
the case, $1,800 to the slenoirrapher, Mr.
F. Cooled&e, $3,000 to Clerk Tanner for
court costs. $1,700 "for city and county
taxes, $1,000 for printing the various re
ports, $12,000 to himself for his services
as receiver, $15,000 for Bosser & Caitcr
and other ass ciates who filed the bill for
the receiver, and $12,000 for Calhoun,
King & Spaulding, the receiver’s attor
neys, and their associates. These various
sums amounted to $52,000, which left
$36,000 iu Receiver Kingsberry’s hands.
Of this amount about $20,500 is in the
Gate City National bank, and as yet can
not be reached. This leaves $9,500 out
side the bank,which is being distributed
among the creditors who had claimed
goods.
When Ryan failed claims were filed
for $180,000 worth of goods, which were
reduced afterwards to $120,000. On ac
count of these goods having Ryan’s name
stamped up:>n them, and on account of
their being shop worn, 65 per cent, of
their value was ordered set aside,
which was $78,000. These creditors
represented by the $7S,000 will get all
the money that is left, viz: the $9,500
in the receiver’s hands and the $26,500,
in the Gate City bank. The other credi
tors, whose claims amount to $280,000,
will get nothing but judgements against
Ryan.

TALK’S CHEA^. ■
There’s lots o’ quaint ol’ sayin’s
r ve noticed in my day—
Big truths and solid principles
Told in the shortest way.
My father ust to have one.
An’ this is how it ran:
“Talk’s cheap, my boy,” he ust to sift
“But money buys the lan’.’’
I own the sayin's homely.
Undignified and rough;
But then it tells jest what you meiva
An’ tells it brief enongh.
An’ when you git to tbinkin’
How short is life’s thin span,
It’s well to min’ “that talk is c’ufop, .
But money buys the lan’.”
’Twon’t do to boast an’ blustw
An’ brag an’ try to bluff;
An' don’t you git to thinkiil’
This world “ain’t up to sr.u J.”
It is; sin’ while you’re bloatin'
Your own bazeo, my man.
There’s some one sneerin', “talk is cheap,
But money buys the ian'.”

A Bonded Warehouse Containing 1,200
Barrels of the Ardent Burned Out,
At L misville, Ky., early Wednesday
•vening, the bonded warehouse No. 303,
it the distillery of Allcn-Bradley distil-
'ery company, together with 1,200 bar
rels of whisky, was destroyed by fire.
While four men were placing a barrel of
vh'sky in one of the tiers of the ware
house, tbe head of the barrel broke and
the contents ran along the floor to a lun-
tern and took fire. In an instant the
warehouse was in a blaze, and the men
were forced to fl e for their lives.
When the firemen arrived the big
brick warehouse was a roaring furnace.
Barrel after barrel of whisky would ex
plode, sending dimes seventy-five feet
up in the air. The fumes from the burn
ing whisky were so strong that the fire
men could hardly go close enough with
die hose to throw streams on the flames.
Time and again the big distillery caught
lire, blit the firemen, at the risk of their
lives, managed to save it, In addition
o the noise from the explosion of the
1,200 barrels of bourbon, seven thousand
cattle in pens were bellowing and the
roofs of the pens were on fire several
limes. It took (be united efforts of five
tire companies to keep the pens from
burning.
The distillery of the Anderson-Nelson
company caught fire, hut was saved with
but trifling damage, 'ihe whisky was
value i at $600,000, and was owned by
over two hundred different persons, and
is thought to have been well covered by
insurance, Tbe warehouse, valued at
$30,000, was fully in-ured. The damage
to the distillery in slight.
THE DUBOSE CASE
Still the Subject of Discussion in
Memphis—A New Sensation.
A Memphis, Tenn., special says: The
Dubose case continues to be fruitful in
sensations. Another was sprung on the
community Friday. Mrs. Manning, one
of the women who mode affidavit that
Judge Dubose had offered her indigni
ties, and which affidavit, with others
similar, was made the basis of impeach
ment proceedings before the legislature
has made another affidavit declaring that
she had been bribed to make false char
ges against his hnnor. She denies that
Judge Dubose offered her insult. Her
reason for recanting, 6hc says, are that a
member of the Law and Older League
who promised her “good money” if she
made the affidavit, anil “big money” if
she had to go to Nashville to testify, has
failed to pay her, though repeatedly im
portuned to do so.
A DEATH TRAP.
Five People Perish in a Burning Hotel
and Twenty-dive Others Injured.
The Higgins hotel, at Bradford, Pa.,
was totally destroyed by fire at an early
hour Saturday. The hotel was occupied
chiefly by railroad men, of whom there
were about seventy-five asleep when the
fire started. Many of the inmates jumped
from the windows into a creek and sev
eral people were badly burned. The
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg depot
and freight troupe was entirely destroyed,
also Leroy’3 grocery store. Five peop'e
are dead, and twety-five were injured.
A Newsboy’s Suit.
A Chicago dispatch says: It was fet
tled Wednes fay that the much-talked-of
millionaire suit of Eugene Dunnivant
against G. W. Poor will be tried before
Judge Wrenn within the w<ek. Dunni-
vant's attorneys will insift that the court

for $100,000 to $500,000. The case in
volving the alleged false imprisonment
of Dunnivant, a newsboy, for too ard

of the most sensational ever tried in Chi-
