COMMON COUNTRY.—NOTES.
In the house ou Wednesday the great
tariff debate was begun. At one o’clock
Mr. McKinley moved that the house go
into committee of the whole for the eon
sidertion of the tariff bill. In making
this motion he said that he would en
deavor to close the general debate by
Saturday evening. Mr. Mills, of Texas,
thought the time fixed was too short.
Two years ago the democrats conceded
twenty-three days for debate, and he re
monstrated against the short time now
proposed. Mr McKinley’s motion was
agreed to, and the house went into com
mittee of the whole, Mr. Payson, of
Illinois, in the chair. Ou motion of Mr.
Mills, the committee granted Mr. Mc-
Kinley the privilc e of speaking without
limit, and on motion of Mr. McKinley a
like courtesy was granted to Mr. Mills.
In the senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Gib
son presented a resolution of the Missis
sippi river improvement convention, late
ly held in Vicksburg, and of the southern
press association, recently in session in
Charleston, S. C., in favor of the levee
system and of the Eads system. Among
the bills reported from committees anti
placed on the calendar were the follow
ing: House bill to fix the regular terms
of circuit and district courts for southei n
district of Alabama. House regular ap
propriation bills for the army and for the
military academy. Mr. Call introduced
a joint resolution authorizing the inter
state commerce commission to investigate
cases of interference by railroad cor
porations (in free passes) with the
election of United States senators
and members of Congress. Bcferred.
A bill for the transfer of the revenue ma-
rine service to the navy department was
taken up by a vote of 30 to 34, but at 2
o’clock it was displaced, under Inst Fri
day’s agreement, by the senate bill au
thorizing the issue of treasury notes on
the deposit of silver bullion (the Joucs
bill). The bill having been read in ex
teuso, amendments were offered by Mr.
Hhcrman and Mr. Plumb. No vote was
taken on either side of the pending
amendments, and Messrs. Vest and Teller
gave notice of substitutes which they
would offer for whole bill. After execu
tive session, the senate adjourned.
After reading the journal Thursday
morning the house went into committee
of the whole (Mr. Payson, of Illinois, in
the chair) on the tariff bill. A lengthy
discussion was entered into by Messrs.
Dockery, of Missouri; Burrows, of Mich
igan; McMillin, of Tennessee; Milliken,
uf Maine, and Fiower, of New York.
Mr. Flower summed up his opinion of t the
bill by reeiting a legend that was found
penned to the corpse of the victim of
“Judge Lynch” in a western territory:
“He was a pretty mean man in some re
spects, but he w r as a blamed sight worse
in others.” All speakers during the day,
with the exception of Mr. Dockery, are
members of the ways and means commit
tee. At the conclusion of Mr. Flower’s
speech (which was greeted with ap
plause) the committee rose; and the
house, at 3:30, took a recess until 8
o’clock.
lu the Senate, on Thursday, on motion
of Mr. Morrill the house bill providing
for the classification of worsted cloths as
woolens was taken up for consideration.
The bill was discussed until 2 o'clock.
At 2 o’clock the silver bill came up us un
finished business. Various proposition*
were made on both sides of the chamber
as to the order of business, and finally it
was agreed, by unanimous consent, that
the silver bill should go over till Monday
next, and should then come up after the
formal business of the morning hour and
be continued as “unfinished business”
until finally disposed of; that the bills of
the admission of Wyoming and Idaho ns
States, should not be taken up until after
the final action on the silver lull; thattho
worsted bill should be resumed,and t hat af
ter final action on it, the appropriation bills
(army, military, academy and pensions)
should be taken up and acted on—Satur
day being devoted, as usual, to bills on
the calendar to which there is no objec
tion. j.fter this arrangement was arrived
at, discussion of the worsted bill was re
sumed Several amendments were offered
by democratic senators and all were de
feated, as was also a motion to postpone
until next December, by which time, the
subject of the bill would be disposed of
in the tariff bill. The bill was then
passed without amendment—yens 82, nays
20, and now goes to the president for his
signature. The pension appropriation
bill (appropriating for next fiscal year
$97, 05H), 701.) was then taken up. Amend
ments offered by Messrs Sherman and
Washburn, to increase the number of
pension agents from eighteen to twenty,
and twenty-one, gave rise to a long dis
cussion. As the vote disclosed absence
of a quorum (only thirty-four members
present) the senate at 5 p. m. adjourned.
In the house, on Friday, Mr. Hill, of
Illinois, called up the bill granting a
pension of $1,200 a year to Delia T. 8.
Parnell, daughter of Admiral Charles
Stewart, with an amendment reducing
the pension to SSO a month. The
amendment ws agreed to, yeas 35, nays
26, and the bill, as amended, was passed.
The house then went into committee of
the whole (Mr. Payson, of Illinois, in the
chair) on the tariff bill. Mr. Fitch, of
New York, opened the debate, beginning
his argument with a charge against Mr.
McKiuley of inconsistency between his
speeches now and those of two years ago.
The bill, he said, was a make-shift to
meet the political situation. General
Wheeler closed the debate for the day.
lu the senate, on Friday, the annual
pension appropriation bill was taken up,
the question being on the amendment
offered Friday by Mr. Sherman, increas
ing the number of pension agents (salary
$4,000) from eighteen to twenty. It was
agreed to; ayes—2s, naves 19. The bill
was then passed aud the military academy
bill was taken up and passed, as was also
the army appropriation bi 11.... Among
the amendments reported from the com*
mitten on appropriations and agreed to
by the senate was a paragraph appropria
tion SIOO,OOO for buildings at the mili
tary posis for libraries, gymnasiums,
amusement rooms and canteens. Diseus
*ion of this amendment became a discus
sion of canteen system as against the post
leadership system, and of temperance in
the army, and occupied the remainder of
the day’s session. The senate then, at 5
p. m., adjourned till Saturday, leaving
Mr. Hale’s amendment to the amendment
to the army bill, and Mr. Cockrell’s
amendment to the amendment pending.
After the reading of the journal the
house on Baturdav went into committee
of the whole, Mr. Grosvenor in the chair,
for the futher consideration of the tariff
bill. Mr. Lanham, of Texas, especially
antagonized the feature of the bill which
places a duty on silver-lead ore, declsr
ing that it would have the effect of de
stroying the smelting industry of Texas
and neighboring states, and it would in
vite retaliation. Mr. Barnes, of Georgia,
addressed the committee in opposition tc
the protective system bill. He urged
that before the war no one contended foi
proteetio i except as an incident tc
revenue; that the present high tariff ays
tem was a mere measure, hut had beet
continued during a period of twenty
live years of peace to the enrichment ol
a few, ami the impoverishment of tin
great body of the people, and that undei
its ojierationg wealth was being concern
’rated in the hands of the priviledged
' lass. This country and especially the
fanners ot the country, were crying out
for relief and more markets. The only
ho|e of the country was in a reduction
f taxation on the necessaries of life, the
im|H>sition of an income tax
for pensions, and an increase
of eurreucy to an extent necessary foi
business interests. Mr. Andrews, of
Massachusetts, op|K>scd the bill. Mr.
Cummings, of New York, characterized
the present session of congress ns a rag
ing sea of ravenous legislation. The bill
struck at New York as though she were
a viper or au unclean reptile. On behalf
of her millions of people lie protested
against the passage of this bill. Mr.
Buckner, of Wisconsin, expressed h s
disappointment at the bill. Instead of
relieving distress and correcting blunders,
it greatly increased both. The commit
tee then arose. The speaker announced
the following committee appointments:
On rules, Mr. Blount, of Georgia; on ap
propriations, Mr. Mitehlcr, of Pennsyl
vania; on banking and currency, Mr.
Cooper, of Ohio; on railways and canals,
Mr. Featherstone, of Arkansas; on merch
ant m irine and fisheries, Mr. Springer, of
Illinois. The house then, at 5:45 o’clock,
took a recess until 8 o’clock. Mr. Per
kins, of Kansas, presided over the even
ing session of the house. The tariff de
bate was continued by Messrs. Chipnian,
of Michigan; Boatner, of Louisiana;
Walker, of Massachusetts; Grosvenor, of
Ohio; Henderson, of Iowa; Hayes, of
Iowa; Bliss, of Michigan; Wade, of
.Missouri; Brosius, of Pennsylvania; Me
ltin', of Arkansas and Mansur, of Mis
souri . The house adjourned at 11 o’clock
until 11 a. m. Monday.
The army appropriation hill was taken
iiji by the Senate on Saturday, the pre
ceding questions being Mr. Male's amend
ment, providing that no alcoholic
liquor, beer or wine, shall be sold and
i supplied to enlisted men in any canteen
or building in garrison or military posts,
and Mr. Cockrell’s amendment to it,
striking out the words “beer or wine.”
The latter amendment was disagreed to—
yeas 30, nays 13; a strict party vote, Mr.
Sherman stating that in order to make a
quorum, and with some doubts, he voted
aye. The hill was then passed. The
Senate bill authorizing the secretary of
war to purchase a lot in St. Augustine,
Fla., (the Hunt lot) for military purposes
was passed; also Senate bill granting
right-of-way across United States lands
in St. Augustine, Fla. The Senate then
took up the individual pension bills on
the calendar and passed all of them—lßs
—in a hour and a half. The Senate bill
for a public building at T-wnpa, Fla., (not
to cost more than $140,000) was passed.
After an executive session the Semite ad

tions of G. G. Smith ns postmaster at
Hickory, N. and Mrs. 11. L. Smithson
postmaster at Pulaski, Teuu.

The superintendent of the census has
issued an order, stating that it has been
brought to his attention that city councils
and boards of trade in certain cities have
appropriated money to aid their census
supervisors in the enumeration of the
population. He, therefore, instructs the
supervisors positively not to receive any
such compensation, nor countenance, for
one iustant, the payment of any sum of
money whatever, by municipalities, cor
porations, associations, or persons, to the
enumerators. He says that any supervisor
of the census who is not content with the
remuneration allowed by law (which is
double the niuoun‘ paid in 1880) should
at once resign. The eleventh census must
and shall be above suspicion. To toler
ate any action on the part of municipali
ties, associations, organizations or indi
viduals, no matter how powerful they
may be, which has for its purpose the
debauching, or which would even throw
the slightest taint upon the truthfulness
of the ri turns, would, in his opinion be
nothing short of a crime against the peo
ple of the United Slates,

CROP REPORT
AS SENT OUT BY THE AGRICULTURAL 1)E
--PARTMKN FOR MAY,
Following are the statistical returns of
the department of agriculture at Wash
ington for May relative, to cotton report,
the progress of planting and conditions
affecting seeding and germination : Plant
ing is late except in the Carolinas. In
Georgia it is scarcely up to the average
at this date, the delay being caused by
drouth, difficulty of plowing and slow
germination. From Alabama westward
serious delays have occurred from ex
cessive rains, which flowed over bottom
lands, and floods from the rise of great
rivers Replanting is necessary where
seed has rotted in the ground. A great
scarcity of seed is reported in parts of
Tennessee. Usually nearly seven-eighths
of the cotton is sowed before the close of
April. This year only three-fourths had
been planted. Proportions in southern
states are reported as follows; Virginia,
55 percent; North Carolina, 77; South
Carolina, 80; Georgia, 80; Florida, 87;
Alabama, 85 ; Mississippi, 65; Louisiana,
70; Texas, 75; Arkansus, 00; Tennessee,
57. Average 75.8 per cent. In Missis
sippi river bottom lands the floods, as
well as actual overflow, prevent planting,
which will be actively pushed as the wa
ters subside and the danger becomes less
imminent.
A HOLOCAUST;
AN INSANE ASYLUM BURNS DOWN —ONI
HUNDRED VICTIMS.
A dispatch from Montreal, Canada,
says: The insane asylum at Longue Pointe,
nine miles from here, caught fire at 11
o'clock Tuesday night, and was totally
destroyed. Nothing remaius standing
but blackened walls and chimneys. It
contained thirteen hundred patients, or
rather prisoners, and eleven hundred are
accounted for. Of the remainder a con
siderable number escaped to the woods
and bushes, and are scattered through the
country. What the number of dead is is
purely a matter of conjecture and can
never be ascertained, since no other record
is kept than that in the asylum books,
and they are also destroyed. Taking into
consideration the whole of the evidence
from the firemen, half the sane inmates,
the sisters in charge, bystanders and per
sonal observation, it is a conservative
estimate to say that a hundred victims
met their death, though some assert that
the number is double that stated, and
others place it below this figure.
