PUBLISHED WEEKLY.
~ The masical services at St. Paul’s,
London. is 3aid to be the most per-
teat'in the world.
Edison says there is more money
■made out of little discoveries than hi;
ones, and that it is better to keep the
secret of r.n invention than to have it
patented.
The Duke of Westminster does not
like it, declares the New Orleans Pie'
ayune, because under the term, “death
duties,” in the latest British budget
hin estate at his death must give up to
the government $6,200,000, and his
wretched heirs will havo to worry
sdong with only $80,000,000.
Within ten years, according to the
United States census, the valuo of the
entire product of the silk industry has
increased nearly ninety-nine per cent.,
while the amount realized by the man
ufacturers, increased from sixty-five
to seventy-one per cent., although the
rate of profits somewhat decreased and
wages fell far below the standard of
1880.
Efforts are making in Prance to sub'
stitute the birthday of Joan of Arc ns
tho national fete day in place of tho
If th of July, the anniversary of the
taking of tho Bastile. The Bastila
episode anniversary no longer excites
the same enthusiasm it did at the be
ginning of the present regime. And
then it is being pointed out that the
honor of having demolished the Bas
tile belongs to Germans and not
Frenphmen. History is quoted to the
effect that the siege and capturo of tho
famous prison “was more especially
tiic work of foreigners, of whom the
majority were Germuns,” and thus,
-mlds tho Chicago Herald, Prance has
been annually celebrating the shed
ding of French blood by Gormans.
Almost anybody who wants it may
be judge of the county court of St.
Clair, county, Mo. The incumbents
of the office have to spend their time
in jail for contempt of the federal
courts. Tho other day the three judges
got tired of it, and sent in their resig
nations to tho governor. For ten
years the county court has been
resisting a process of the federal
courts in the matter of making a levy
to pay interest on n railroad debt in
curred more than twenty years ago.
The dobt and interest now amounts to
about $1,000,000, some 33 per cent,
of the assessed valuation of property
in tho county, and the peoplo are a
unit against recognizing. the debt in
any shape. It is a case of repudiation.
A million dollars at six per cent,
compound interest amounts in 68
years to nearly $60,000,000, and this
announces the Seatle, (Wash.,) Tele
graph; is the amount of the bill which
tho Hawaiian government is going to
asA Uncle Sam to pay. One contem
porary adds: “In 1826 sorna excellent
missionaries, doubtless with a view’ oi
enabling tho wretched heathens of the
islands to see thcmsolve3 as they real
ly were, disposed of a job lot of look
ing glasses and hand-mirrors at prices
rnnging from $150 to $1,500 on credit
payment to bo made in sandal wood
and other native products. Payment
not being very prompt, the United
Stntee ship Peacock, with Commander
Jones in charge, proceeded to. make
collections, and, in the words of Jones
compelled the natives to pay nearly
$1,000,000 to worthy citizens of the
United States. Incidentally the Re
mand for sandal wood ^depleted tho
forests of the islands and completely
exterminated that product. The
modern llawaiians nro unreasonable
enough to call this forced collection
robbery, and nro going to ask Uncle
Sam to pay the money back again with
compound interest.”
Tho insurance companies of this
country lost $167,000,000 last year by
fires, figures the New York jilail and
Express. Connecticut companies
alone paid out $8,000,000, while their
profit for tho previous year was but
$1,000,000. These figures show the
enormous extent of fire waste of the
country. It grows every year. One
cause is carolessness. If we had a law
r.imilar to that onforeed iu some Euro
pean countries which fixes upon the
occupants of a building a large degree
of responsibility for fires this cause
would be greatly reduced. Secondly,
the inflammable material which is so
largely used in new places for the con
struction of buildings invites conflag
rations. In cities where iron has been
frequently substituted for wood, elec
tricity is said to be the greatest enemy
oi the insurance companies. There is
no reason for it. Electric wires can,
by insulation, be rendered harmless,
and such insulation should be renderod
compulsory. Doubtless another large
item of cost to the insurance people
has been the fires purposely started by
men who thought they had reasons for
“selling out to the insurance com-
panits. ” In other hinds the strict-
ness of the fire laws makes this sort of
speculation unprofitable. We need a
reform in tins <lirection.

LATEST TELEGRAMS
A Chicago special says: The sun
went down Thursday on by far the
most turbulent and critical day thus
far in the unparalleled rnilrond striko
and boycott. When it opened there
was a general feeling that its passago
would go far toward clearing tho at
mosphere, if, indeed, it did not prac
tically lift the embargo on commerce
which has held the city in its grip for
tho past week. That expectation was
chiefly based on the presence of fede
ral troops in tho most dangerous dis
tricts.
Lookiug nt the situation at tho close
of the day, however, it must, be con
fessed that the hope indulged at the
opeuing in this regard has not been
justified. The troops were few in
numbers at best, and when they were
divided into sqnads and distributed#!;
points seperatod by very considerable
distances, it soon became evident that
their prestige as overawing bodies had
been dissipated at the same time.
Instead of fleeing in fear before the
faces of the veterans, as was expected
they would, tho turbulent thousands
surged about tho little band of sol
diers, jeering and hooting nt them
casting vile epithets at them and lij!
ally played hide and seek with thfpni,
stopping trains at will, and generally
rendering the embargo iu the niilittary
district more effective, if possible,
than before.
The tlirougs of strikers did nol

Thus it was that the troops atftlie stock

spent the entire day iu a vain I endeavor
to get oue train load of dressed beef

Aside from the immediatelueighbor-

there was plenty of cxeitlmopt and

The tariff bill was finally passed by
the Benate at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday
night. -
It has been in the hands of the sen
ate since the first day of February.
For more than two months the senate
has devoted eight hours a day to speech
making and voting upon it. The work
has been a hard strain on many sena
tors and it is a great relief to them as
well as to the country that the senate
has finally voted upon and passed it.
The vote stood 39 to 34.
Every deniocrat except Hill voted for
it. Allen and Kyle, two of the three
populists, voted for it. Peffer voted
with the republicans against it. Before
the vote, and after Hill had been
turned down on nearly all of the
amendments he offered and defeated
in every flank movement ho made
against the bill, he arose and in a vig
orous and vicious fifteen-minute speech
denounced the bill as undemocratic
and populistic. When he sat down
not a sound was heard. Neither the
republicans nor the galleries applauded
hinn.
When the roll call commenced there
j was somo excitement in the galleries,
: and particularly so when Cnffery, of
| Louisiana, voted no. He, however,
has discontinued" "through "freight changed liis vote before the result was
trains. Local freight on the Louis
ville and Nashville, Nashville, Chatta
nooga and St. Louis are running as
usual. Sleepers to Chicago are still
discontinued.
A Columbia, S. C., special says:
The judiciary committee of the state
fnrmers’ alliance, is investigating tho
conduct of D. P. Duncan, manager of
the state alliance exchange. Duncan
is also a railroad commissioner, secre
tary of the national alliance and a can
didate for congress.
Tho fact that General Superintend
ent Y. E. McBee, of the Richmond
and Danville line has resigned his po
sition, has been made public. Super
intendent McBee has had control of
the Asheville and Spartanburg, tho
Western North Carolina, the Spartan
burg and Union, the C. C. k A. and
the C. & G. railroads.
A special from Denver, Col., says:
The engineers of the Rio Grande have
unanimously decided that their duty
to both their order and the railway re
quires them to perform every service
required of them as engineers by the
road. A majority of the firemen are
of the same opinion as regards them
selves.
A committee from Chicago has or
ganized branches at New Orleans and
brought pressure to bear from other
labor unions until it was decided to
force strikes in the city, beginning
with the Illinois Central and then tak
ing the Louisville and Nashville. The
commercial bodies appealed to Wash
ington to authorize the district attor
ney to tajje steps to protect interstate
commerce.
At a meeting in Montgomery, Ala.,
of the employes of the Alabama Mid
land railroad of the Plant system cm
bracing engineers, firemen, conductors,
brakemen, switchmen, operators, clerks
and freight handlers, a resolution was
unanimously adopted disapproving the
action of railway employes in striking
on account of a disagreement between
tho Pullman company and Its employes.
They also pledged their loyalty and
hearty support to the road.
The Popolo Romano, published at
Rome, Italy, says that the police in

Cette was the centre, the object being
to take the lives of the heads of the

Lega, in accordance with this plot,was
delegated to kill Premier Crispi, anu
Cesario was chosen to kill M. Carnot.
Lega came to Rome from Cette when
he made an attempt to shoot Signor
Crispi.
The striking railroad men at San
Francisco, Cal., have placed Oakland

masters of the ferry system. They

that way because he was not satisfied
with the repeal of tho sugar bounty,
but as it was the best bill that could
be gotten and was a democratic meas
ure, he would vote for it. Blanchard
wanted to explain his vote, but there
was objection, and he contented him
self by voting “yea.”
APPLAUSE IN THE GALLERIES.
When the vote was announced and
the vice president 6aid, “The bill is
passed,” the galleries sent up a hearty
cheer and the democratic senators,
with one exception, applauded. Then
the senate, after the conferees were
announced, adjourned until Friday for
a much-needed rest.
This bill now goes back to the house
and the speaker will refer it to the
ways and means committee. That
committee will report back to the
house and then the conference com
mittee will be appointed. The honse
will fight the sugar, wool, coal and
iron schedules and the prospects are
that tho conference committee will
make material changes in them. The
bill should, however, become a law by
the 1st of August. In that event
congress will adjourn by the 15th.
SUMMARY OF NEWS.
DECIDED BY LOT
And Santo Selected to Assassinate
Carnot.
A dispatch from Marseilles, Prance,
announces that a soldier detained in
the military prison at that place, upon
hearing of the assassination of the pres
ident, gave the authorities full details
concerning the plot which was hatched
at Cette, and also furnished the
names of seven anarchists who,
after the execution of Yaillant
and Henri, drew lots in order
to decide who was to kill Carnot. The
lot fell to Santo Cesario, which now
seems to be the real name of the as
sassin, the mistake in the inversion of
his name having resulted from the
Italian custom of writing the family
name first. Cesario is described as
having been “wild with joy” when
found tfiat he had been selected to
commit the murder.

Tuesday afternoon the grand jury
of Washington city brought in indict
ments against Messrs. Sbriver and Ed
wards, the newspaper correspondents,
for refusing to nnswer the questions
propounded by the senate committee,
and both gave bail for their appear
ance when wanted.
It was exactly 1:30 when the tariff
bill was returned to tho house Thurs

democratic side. There were no man
ifestations of any character from the
republicans.
A new source of demand for United
States gold has developed in an order
from Canada for $25,000 in gold. This
was taken out of the New York sub-
treapury Saturday and sent north. In
addition to the Canada order, $1,225,-

for shipment to Europe. With these
engagements de’dncted, tho treasury’s
net gold reserve stands at $64,828,815.
All the members of the cabinet,.ex
cept Secretaries Carlisle aud Morton,
were present Tuesday at the cabinet
meeting. The strike situation iu the
west occupied most nil of the time, and
the members of the cabinet as a whole
are understood to be iu thorough ac
cord in sustaining the president and
the attorney general in the steps which
they have taken to suppress the dis
order aud bring about resumption of
interstate traffic. The consensus of
opinion was to delay, if possible, the
use of the United States troops nntil
terms of the iojnction obtained in
Chicago were made known to the va-
rions striking organizations. If, after
that has been done, the disorder and
violence continue, then the United
States troops will be undoubtedly used
promptly and with firmness.
The question has often been asked
why the Army cadets at West Point
wear a gray uniform, while the uni
form of the Army is blue. The origin
of this distinction dates back to the
War of 1812-14, when the Commis
sary-General ot the Army could not-
procure the blue cloth required for
General Winfield Scott's brigade, and
so they were clad in gray. So dis
tinguished was the conduct of that
brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chippe
wa that when, after the War of 1812,
a reorganization of the West Point
Military Academy was made, out of
compliment to General Scott and his
brigade the uniform of the eorps of
:adets was changed from blue to gray.
Lite is not so short but there i?
always time enongh for courtesy.
CONGRESSIONAL.
DAILY PROCEEDINGS OF BOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
The Discussion of Important Measures
Briefly Epitomized.
The house agreed Monday that when
it adjourned, it be to meet Thursday.
After the transaction of minor business
the body went into committee of the
whole to consider the bill providing
fo£ a hall tor the keeping of records in
Washington, D. C.
THE .senate.
In the senate, Monday, Mr. Call in
troduced a resolution for the appoint
ment of a select committee of five sen
ators to inquire into and report the
cause of the existing strike of the rail
road and Pullman car employes and
the justice of the demands of the work
ingmen, and report such legislation as
may secure justice to tho working
men and be reasonable and fair
to their employers, and secure
the 6afe transportation of mails,
freight and passengers without inter
ruption. Mr. Kyle offered a joint
resolution providing that no warrant
or other process shall be issued by any
United States commissioner or out of
any circuit or district court of the
United States against any person or
persons for alleged obstruction of nny
railroad train or trains unless it shall
appear that such persons have obstruct
ed or hindered in such a manner
as to interfere with the safe and
convenient movement of a part of such
train that is essential to the safe and
convenient transportation of the mails;
also, providing that the detachment of
a Pullman or other parlor or sleeping
coaches from railroad trains shall not
constitute any offense ngaiut the laws
of the United States. Both resolutions
were laid on the table for the present.
At 10:30 the tariff bill was taken up,
and it was agreed that amendments
to which no special objection is
made be voted on in bulk. Mr.
Sherman asked that the entire
wool and woollen schedule be reserved.
Mr. MeLaurin demanded a separate
vote on the amendment excluding the
salaries of the president and United
States judges from the income tax.
Separate votes were demanded by Mr.
Hale on the lumber schedule, Mr.
Kyle on the sugar schednle, Mr. Gal-
linger as to hay, Mr. Chandler as to
the date when the law is to go into ef
fect; also as to borax, lead, iron
ore, barbed wire, lead ore, rice brandy
and spirits of wine, silk and silk
goods, the income tax and reciprocity.
Mr. Jones, for the finance committee,
reserved the several dates mentioned
for the bill to go into effect; also ns to
glass ware, plate glass, nuts, laces,
waste wool, ready made clothing, in
grain carpets, etc. Then the resi
due of the unreserved amendments
adopted in committee of the whole
were concurred in in bulk. Mr. Hill’s
amendment in the senate, mak
ing the repeal of the sugar bounty
take effect “on the passage of that net,”
instead of on tho first of January,
1895, was agreed to; yeas 35,
nays 32. Mr. Kyle moved to strike
out one-eighth of the differential given
to the sugar refiners and the one-tenth
discriminating duty on sugars import
ed from couu tries where the export
bounty is paid ou refined sugar. It
was defeated by a vote of yeas 34,
nays 35.
The senate met at 10 o’clock a. m.
Tuesday in continuation of Monday’s
legislative session. -The tariff bill was
taken up at once, and action on the
amendments of the committee of the
whole occupied the whole of the day’s
session. First came the motion made
by Mr. Mills Monday evening to place
burlaps and grain bags made there
from on the free list. It was carried
by a vote of 28 to 17. Next came
the famous “collars and cuffs”
amendment fixing the duty on those
articles at 30 cents per dozen and 30
per cent ad valorem, and on shirts at
50 per cent, equivalent, according to a
statement made by Mr. Chand
ler to an ad valorem rate of
from 80 to 125 per cent.
Then the great wool schedule came up
for action, Mr. Sherman offering an
amendment to [dace wool on the duti
able list at 30 per cent ad val arem.
The amendment was defeated by a vote
of 37 to 32. And so wool remans on
the free list. The committee amend
ment placing bituminous coal on the
dutiable list at 40 cents a ton and coal
slack at 15 cents, was agreed to by
u vote of 57 to 7. The six were Messrs.
Allen, Hill, Irby, Kyle, Mills and Pef
fer. All the committee amendments to
leather schedule were agreed to, ulso
all the amendments under the title of
miscellaneous manufactures.” Tho
committee amendment which has been
originally offered by Mr. Hill, exempt
ing the salaries of the president of the
United States and of the judges of
United States courts from the income
tax, was rejected. All tho other re
served amendments up to the close of
the bill were agreed to withaut oppo
sition. The date when the bill is to
go into effect was, on motion of Mr.
Jones, fixed at August 1, 1894, with
the understanding that, if necessary,
a later date can be fixed hereafter.
A congratulatory message from the
Brazilian chamber of deputies was laid
before the house Thursday by Speaker
Crisp. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, rose
to a question of personal privilege.
He denied the statement published
that in a recent speech in Georgia he
described the tariff bill as it passed
the senate ns practically the same 83
the Wilson bill, “with some immate
rial changes. ” A joint resolution was
passed, authorizing the secretary
of the navy to employ, until
July 31, certain mechanics and la
borers employed iu the navy yards on
the increase of navy construction aDd
machinery, who were discharged by
the secretary at the end of last month,
because of a doubt of his authority to
keep them at work. At 1 o’clock
ikeretorj Cm appeared, and being an
nounced, reported that the senate had
passed the tariff bill with amendments
in which it asked a conference, and
that Senators Voorbees, Vest, Harris,
Jones, Sherman, Allison and Aldrich
were named as the conferees on the
part of the senate. The bill was con
veyed to the speaker’s table amid ap
plause ou the democratic side. No
action was taken on the measure.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Past Week.
The review of the industrial situation in the
south for the past week shows that the unsettled
condition of labor still continues in somewhat
less degree. The min rs are returning to their
work at some points aud at others they aro
sure of finding employment. The Sou'hern
railroads, other than the Illinois Central, liavo
not as yet been affected by the Pullman strike
and it is not believed that the trouble will be
extensive in this section, although a strong ef
fort will be made to call out the men on tiio
line of the Queen and Crescent.
In other respects there is no change to report
in the industrial situation. Much depends on
the crops, the condition of which is more favor
able than formerly. Hot weath(* is bringing
forward the cotton which has been backward
for the season.
The following are the most important of tin
fifty-one new industries report'd by The Trades

TRADE REVIEW.
Report of Business for the Past Week
by Dun & Co.
It. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: “The great strike of coal
miners has ended at most points, but
another threatens to interrupt business
more seriously for a time, though the
number of hands engaged is compara
tively small. The resumption of
work in the mines and mills
has made good progress, but
the demand for product is
yet smaller and lees urgent than was
expected. Buyers apparently wait for
lower prices of iron and steel pro
ducts, which manufacturers are slow
to give in view of the increased cost of
materials and production. After
suspension of half the working force
for more than a month, it was expect
ed that orders for products would
be very large, but instead there is
general complaint of dullness and nar-
norow demand, and prices of Bessemer
pig and some finished forms are a lit
tle weaker. Although the working
force has evidently increased, several
establishments have stopped for want
of orders, or because no settlement, re
garding wages for the coming year
has yet been reached.
“The-volume of domestic business
as shown in clearing house payments
is 27.3 per cent smaller for tho week
than last year, and at New York the
decrease is 36.1 per 1 cent. There is
some improvement in the demand for
commercial loans, especially from the
south, and 6ales of foreign exchange
against products to be exported hereaf-
ter.have much increased. This, with
foreign buying of Btocks after the ac
tion of the New York banks, has
weakened exchange so that gold ex
ports for the week have been only $2,-
570,000. But customs receipts for the
month have been only $8,551,407 and
the year’s deficit will be about $80,-
000,000. A considerable deficit is ex
pected in July.
“This week the failures have boen
214 in the United States against 307
last year. Of late tho number and
importance of failures have increased
a little, as is usual near tho close of a
half year.”
PRENDERGAST NOT INSANE
Anil Will Be Hangcil for the Murder
O* Carter Harrison.
The jury in Judge Payne’s court,
after two hours’ deliberation, Tuesday
afternoon, returned a verdict finding
Patrick Eugene Prendergast not in
sane or a lunatic, and therefore re
sponsible for the murder of Carter
Harrison. If no other technicality
intervenes, the assassin will be hanged
on July 13th next.

Senator Patrick Walsh ir, an inter
view by the Southern A.~. o_i.iied Press
about the national 'and international
importance of the Atlanta, Ga., expo
sition, said among other things:
“The Cotton States and Internation
al exposition at Atlanta for the dis
play of arts, industries, manufactures
and products of the soil, mine and
forest, will open in September and
close December 31, 1S95. The pro-
moteis of this great enterprise have
planned it on broad lines and will
conduct it on such a liberal scale as
to command the confidence and sup
port of the people of tho United
States. The exposition will uot he
confined to the South. It will em
brace the entire Union and will be
open to exhibits from Mexico, Central
and South America.
“There is no reason why this coun
try should not command the trade of
the Spanish-Americaii republics. From
the geograpical position of those coun
tries aud their.proximity to tho United
States, our manufacturers and mer
chants should be able to command a
largo part of their trade. The United
States should clo a profitable business
with tho 50,000,000 of people to tho
south of us. England, Franco, Ger
many and Spain control tho commerce
which for the most part belong to this
country. American enterprise should
at least command a fair share of it.
“The Cotton States and Internation
al exposition has this object in view,
and with proper encouragement from
the government and the peojde of this
country there is no, reason why the ef
fort should not be successful, Tho
purpose of the promoters of this na
tional and international exposition is
to make it bear the same relation to
the people of the American continent
that tho Chicago exposition boro to
the nations of the world. This is' tiio
object which the public-spirited citi
zens of Georgia and the south have in
view. All of tho southern states will
cordially co-operate in making it a
grand exposition of the industrial
progress of their section of tiio Union.
negroes to take part.
“The colored peoplo will take an
active part. It is in contemplation to
have a bnikling exclusively devoted to
them. This will contn : n their handi
work and show the advancement which
the raco has made in the useful arts.
They would haye made a most credita
ble showing at the World’s fair, but
Chicago was so distant as to make it
impossible by reason of the great ex
pense that would have to be incurred
in collecting the evidences of a^lteir
commendable progress in the numhan-
icnl and other arts. Tho ccntraftoca-
tion of Atlanta makes it "hertain for
them to do that which was impossible
at Chicago.
“In order to dignify and enlarge the
scope of the Cotton States and Inter
national exposition government recog
nition and aid are essential conditions
'to obtain and secure exhibits nnd at
tendance from the people of neigh
boring republics.
THE SOUTH DEMANDS IT.
“As an evidenco of tho public sen
timent of the south, I cite the unani
mous resolutions of the municipalities,
conton exchanges aud boards of trade
from Baltimore to Galveston.
“Atlanta is known throughout tho
United States as one. of the most pro
gressive cities in the south. ■ She lias
risen from the desolation of war to ho
a large, enterprising and prosperous
community. I remember Atlanta in
1865 when she had less than a dozen
houses and but few inhabitants. She
has now close upon 100,000 people nnd
more thau $50,000,000 of taxable
property, her growth has been rapid
and substantial. Knowing the’people
as I do, and appreciating their ambi
tion and their ability to excel iu every
great enterprise, I liavo no hesitation
in saying that the Cotton States find
International Exposition "with the rec
ognition and aid of the government
will he a triumphant success.
The dormant wealth of the South
cannot be exaggerated. Tire industrial
possibilities of the southern slates are
limitless in every field of human en
deavor—in agriculture, in mining, and
in manufactures—no other part of tho
Union affords like opportunites for in
vestment and profitable development.
In coal, iron, marble, granite, cotton
and timber and in climate and water
power, the South is the richest country
in the world.. These facts are forcing
themselves to thoattention of investors,
and there is no more certain way to
impress them upon tho mind of the
country than through tho iustrnmen-
tality of the proposed national and in
ternational exposition at Atlanta.
“Henry W. Grady, the brilliant and
accomplished young Georgian, whose
genius and. patriotism were apprecia
ted throughout the Union, died while
literally loving the sections into peace,’.’
but his spirit still lives among the peo- /
pie of Georgia and annimates them to
deeds of noble enterprise.
“The Atlanta exposition is national
and international in its aims and pur
poses, embracing all the states of the
Union aud the republics of Mexico,
Central and South America, Culm and
the West Indies. I consider it the
duty of congress to make the appro
priation, Were the sum twice as great
it could not be apropriflted to a na
tional enterprise more worthy of the
support of the federal government and
tlie patronage of all intelligent and
patriotic American citizens.”
