WORK OF CONGRESS.
BUSINESS OF THE TWO HOUSES
BRIEFLY CHRONICLED.
flytiop*!* of Measure* l)l*eu»»ed That Are
of More or I.en* Importance to
Uncle Sam’* Citizen*.
SENATE.
It was for Senator Cal), of Florida,
to furnish the only Cuban feature in
Wednesday’s senate proceedings. Ho
delivered a strong speech based on his
resolution asking for the papers in
the Sangiiilly case, lmt the Cam¬
eron resolution failed to materialize.
Mr. Call spoke on two resolutions—
one n simple resolution calling on the
secretary of state for copies of the cor¬
respondence in the mutter of Julio
Hanguilly, an American citizen con¬
demned by the Spanish authorities in
Cuba to perpetual imprisonment in
chains; and tlie other a joint resolu¬
tion instructing the president to de¬
mand Sanguilly’s immediate release.
The first was agreed to, and the sec¬
ond was referred to the committee on
foreign relations.
The senate disposed of much routine
business at the opening of the session
Thursday. The petitions as to Cuba
and for and against, the Loud bill,were
exceptionally heavy. Mr. Mills, of
Texas, offered the following resolution:
“Resolved, by the senate and bouse of
representatives, that the expediency of
recognizing the independence of a for¬
eign government belongs to congress,
ami that when congress shall so deter¬
mine the president shall act in harmo¬
ny with the legislative part of the gov¬
ernment. Second, that the independ¬
ence of the government of Cuba ought
to lie aud hereby is recognized, and
the sum of $10,000 is hereby appropri¬
ated for salary and expenses of a min¬
ister to that government whenever
such minister shall be appointed by the
president.”
HOUSE.
The Loud bill passed the liouso
Wednesday by a vote of 144 to 105.
A lively tight was made against it.
The bill was designed to do away with
certain abuses of the use of the mails and
relates especially to second class matter.
The principal features of the bill are
those denying the mails as second
class matter, sample copies of newspa¬
pers and serial novel publications and
withdrawing from news agents the
privileilge of returning to their princi¬
pals at the pound rate unsold copies of
periodicals.
Despite the fact that the house
Thursday entered upon the considera¬
tion of the Pacific railroad funding
bill the attorn..iyco on the fliv r was
not large. Great interest, however,
was manifested in the opening debate
by those present A large map show¬
ing tbe routes of the Pacific roads has
been erected in the area in front of the
speaker’s rostrum and were frequently
referred to by several speakers. Under
the special order adopted for tlie holi¬
day recess, the debate was to continue
until Saturday evening and the voting
to take place Monday.
The sensation of the day and the
sensation of the session of the house
Friday was the attack of Johnson, of
California, on Hearst, of The New
York Journal and The San Francisco
Examiner. This came out in the
Pacific railroad funding bill discussion
before the house. Johnson is a strong
advocate of the funding bill. He ran
for congress in November on this
funding bill issue, was fought hard by
The Examiner and was overwhelm¬
ingly defeated. Hence his attack. It
was of a personal nature, was vicious
in the extreme and called down severe
criticism from Johnson’s colleagues.
The evening session of the house
Friday devoted, under the rules, to the
consideration of private pension bills,
M as rendered of no avail by absentee¬
ism. At 10:30 o’clock the session ex¬
pired by limitation under the rules,
and the house stood adjourned until
Saturday.
The debate on the Pacific funding
bill closed Saturday night. The day
was devoted to debate under the five
minutes rule, which developed still
greater opposition to the measure than
the early debate had indicated. The
adoption of an amendment requiring 3
per cent instead of 2, as provided in
the original bill, is a strong indica¬
tion against the passage of the bill as
originally passed.
NOTES.
Secretary Carlisle is tho subject of
two contradictory reports. One of
these states that he is to go on the su
preme bench, Tho other story comes
from a source exceedingly close to the
secretary himself. This confirms the
oft-repeated and oft-denied rumor that
Carlisle is to go to New York and prac¬
tice law with Cleveland as senior part¬
ner of the firm.
Charley Crisp has secured a favora¬
ble report from the public buildings
committee of tbe bouse on the bill in¬
troduced by his father at the last ses
sion, providing for the erection of a
public building at Americas. The bill
carries an appropriation of $35,000.
The exposition board of government
commissioners which had the govern¬
ment building and exhibit in charge
during the Atlanta exposition will
make its finally report in a few days to
congress, Only four copies of the re
port will be printed.
Secretary Herbert has ordered the
battleship Texas to visit Galveston on
February 16th to receive an elaborate
silver costing about $5,000, the money
having been raised by popular sub¬
scription through the state for which
the vessel Mas maned.

OUTLOOK PROMISING.
Dun Hi Co., Say IHin !!• «ln* XVItli a CIe*r
ami Hopeful Advantage.
R. G. Dun k Co. in their weekly
review of trade say that the year IK!.7
begins witli one clear advantage the
past year has swept out of the way a
great number of unsound concerns
which, in any time of activity, would
have been a danger to business. Of
the 15,280 commercial and banking
failures in 1890, with liabilities of
£270,815,749, a large share represent¬
ing crippling losses in previous years,
or the violence of speculative storms
in 1895, or the first half of 189(1, while
thousands more resulted from the fury
of the political tornado last fall. Bank¬
ing failures, amounting to $50,718,915
during the year, averaged $156,15(5
each, and were 115 per cent larger
than in 1895.
While banking failures have not
ceased at the west, apprehension about and
them has almost wholly subsided
no serious influence upon general
trade is now expected. Many sound
concerns were donbtless caught by
the epidemic, hut practically all the
important failures are traced to
disregard of law and of hanking
sense at periods somewhat distant.
It is felt at the west that all bus¬
iness will be the sounder of its
purging, and the return of money
to New York has exceeded ship¬
ments to the interior by $2,000,000 for
the week. Heavy disbursements by
the treasury and by great corporations
make money abundant, and banks and
savings banks are seeking good paper,
taking some formerly sold at Chicago.
Foreign exchange has risen a trifle, Mer¬ as
large Dills are about to mature.
chandise exports were 11 per cent over
last year, while imports were 27 per
cent less than for the same week.
Commercial failures amounted to
$226,096,831, a little over $1,000,000
having been added by the last day of
the year, hut the average of liabilities,
$14,992, was smaller than in some
years of great prosperity. The failures
of brokerage and “other” commercial
concerns averaged $58,118 each, in¬
creasing over 183 per cent over 1895,
while manufacturing failures averaged
$28,808 each and increased 34 per cent
and trading failures increased 18 per
cent and averaged only $9,606 each.
TRUSTS SURRENDKU.
Georgia’* Throw New Faw the cause* Them to
up Sponge.
Every trust operating in the state of
Georgia has succumbed to the Calvin
act.
As the climax of the effective opera¬
tion of that measure, the American
Tobacco Company, that monster mo¬
nopoly that so despotically ruled all
commerce in the divine weed, follow¬
ing suit after the potash trust, the
snuff trust, the coffee trust, the match
trust and all the other trusts, ad infin¬
itum, along that have been gouging Georgia
with the rest of the union,
i”l those jobbers and merchants
throughout (he state handling their
goods that the now famous anti-trust
bill made their contracts unlawful, and
they would, therefore, no longer be
considered by either party.
This throws the long closed market,
wide open to competition, and certain
reduction in the price of various com¬
modities—though maybe at the ex¬
pense of the jobbers. It solves at
last the problem of dealing with trusts
by legislation. It means the death
knell of all such monopolies.
The bill which directly accomplished
this is already famous and is entitled
“an act to declare unlawful and void
all arrangements, contracts, agree¬
ments, trusts, or combinations made
with a view to lessen, or which tend to
lessen, free competition in the impor¬
tation or sale of articles of domestic
growth or of domestic raw material; to
declare unlawful and void all arrange¬
ments, contracts, agreements, trusts*
or combinations between persons or
corporations designed, or which tend,
to advance, reduce or control the price
of such product or article to producer or
consumer of any such product or arti¬
cle; to provide for forfeiture of the
charter and franchise of any corpora¬
tion violating provisions of this act.
Ex-Governor of Maine Dead.
Daniel Franklin Davis, ex-governor
of Maine, died at Bangor early Satur
day morning rather suddenly.
He was governor in 1880, being
elected by tbe legislature after an ex
citing count-out contest, in which
armed men and cannon played a part.
He had for some years been engaged
in the lumber and law business in
Bangor. Governor Davis was fifty
four years of age.
Whisky Trust Leases.
The United States court of appeals
at Chicago has handed down an impor¬
tant decision in the whisky case. The
court decided that the leases made by
the old whisky trust cannot be en¬
forced and are void. This rids the
American Spirits Manufacturing com¬
pany of 50 leases running about 20
years and involving something like
$ 100 , 000 .
Georgians Off to Cuba.
A party of 18 Savannah, Ga., young
men have left that city for Cuba to
join the insurgents. Among them was
Clifford W. Anderson, Jr., son of Col-,
one! Clifford W. Anderson, of Savan
nah.
Steamboat Burned.
The well-known steamboat Belle of
the Coast was totally destroyed by fire
early Thursday morning at Carrollton,
La. The origin of the blaze is
known. The boat Mas valued at
000 and insured in various companies
for $20,000.
The Fertilizer Rate Stands.
The Georgia railroad commission has
adouted an order refusing to change
the recent circular reducing the rail
road rates on fertilizers.
IVASII 11 LUX WRITES.
HE ISSUES AN APPEAL TO POPU¬
LISTS OF UNITED STATES.
HeAdvl*e* lieliever* to Maintain Solidified
Hank* and Move Forward—The
Cate Campaign Reviewed.
George F. Washburn, member of tlio
people’s party national executive com¬
mittee and chairman of the western
headquarters during the late campaign,
has issued an appeal to the populists
of the United States. Among other
things he says:
We are to he congratulated upon the
growth of our party and the fact that
in the recent election nearly half the
voters of the union indorsed much of
our platform. Our party alone has a
voting force larger than that which
elected Lincoln and an able, effective
reform press of nearly 2,000 papers.
We hold the balance of power in the
United States senate and have four
times as many congressmen as ever
before;
“We united with the silver forces
in the recent campaign, not because
we believe free coinage of silver is the
solution of the financial problem, but
because it would better existing con¬
ditions, would meet with the least in¬
sistence and become the entering wedge
for our main issue, viz: full legal ten¬
der paper money, issued and regulated
by tb 3 government alone. Hav¬
ing proved our loyalty at tlie polls, xv e
are free to act separately on advanced
lines and to emphasize the real issues
our party was born to advocate. We
cannot lay down our arms and cease
our activity until tbe war for which we
enlisted has ended in victory for our
cause.
“The democratic party proposes to
continue the silver fight. Two parties
cannot exist on the same issue. The
greater absorbs tbe smaller There¬
fore, if we remain mere camp follow¬
ers of another party, disintegration
will result. Our party success alone
forced the democrats to adopt the
Chicago platform and nominate a
popocrat for president. Converts
made by party regularity cannot be
trusted with the reforms of the future.
“We are not democrats, and cannot
be classed as such. We simplyMriiited
for a single campaign. The demo¬
crats are but tlie rear guard of our
party. We do not stand upon redemp¬
tion money, but for a scientific dollar,
kept invariable by pro*ier regulation
of tbe money volume.
“Tbe millions of converts to silver
during the recent campaign must ad¬
vance. They will remain where they
are. We must educate them up to the
main issue, and the time to do it is
now, not just before a presidential
election. We must also hokVthe dem¬
ocratic party In its j-iixir
compel it to advance. /
“I also suggest that a national con¬
ference of party leaders and work¬
ers be held as soon as practicable,
that we may have a full aud free
expression of opinion regarding
our future work. We hope, there¬
fore, that the reform press will give
the fullest possible exposition of tbe
views on this important subject; and
our friends are invited to write me or
our national chairman expressing their
ideas on the independent party action
herein proposed.
“Shall we march to victory under
our own banner, or continue as strag¬
glers under another?
RACERS CREMATED.
String of Fine ami Valuable Horses Burn¬
ed at Norfolk, Ya.
A fire occurred Sunday morning at
3:30 o’clock in the stable at the park

WATSON VS. BLACK.
ArgumontM Ilegun in the Contest Before
House Flections Committee.
The arguments in the election con¬
tent of Thomas F. Watson, late candi¬
date for vice-president, against James
C. district Black, of the tenth congressional
of Georgia, were begun at
Washington Friday before the house
elections committeee, No. 1.
It was expected NIr. Watson would
be present, but he did not put
in an appearance. The sitting
member, Judge Black, was among
those who heard the arguments
of a formidable array of counsel,
Messrs. Gross, West, Glenn & Roun¬
tree, appearing for Watson, and
Messrs. Cummings, Lamar, Cohen and
Kriglit for Black. Mr.Glenn, in behalf
of Watson, argued that the entire vote
of the city of Augusta should he thrown
out because of a number of alleged ir¬
regularities in registration and of bal¬
lot boxes, lack of representation on
the boards, etc.
On behalf of Black the entire regu¬
larity of the election was argued by
Mr. Cummings, who maintained that
the entire theory of Mr. Watson’s case
that a widespread conspiracy of fraud
existed, was not justified by the facts.
Contrary to the usual routine while of
election cases, the argument*
following the lines of the printed
briefs and the general statements
heretofore published, were neither
dull nor dry. They were marked by
spirited tilts between the counsel for
Mr. Watson and for Major Black, and
the committee gave unflagging atten¬
tion.
BLOCKADE CHARLESTON.
Many of Uncle Sa'in’s Powerful Battle¬
ships H ill Knviron the City.
Admiral Bunce’s squadron of evolu¬
tion is to blockade Charleston, S. C.,
early in February.
The admiral had a long conference
with Secretary Herbert and other
naval officers at Washington Friday,
and as a result his plans for drills and
maneuvers, of which the rigid block¬
ade of Charleston is the chief feature,
were thoroughly approved and all
necessary arrangements for carrying
out the proposed operations will at
once be inaugurated.
The scheme involves the mainte¬
nance of a strong blockading fleet off
Charleston harbor and the assignment
of one or more fast vessels, including
the Vesuvius, to duty as blockade run¬
ners. Stores and coal will be massed
at Port Royal as a base for the smaller
blockade cruisers, but tbe battleships
and perhaps the big cruisers will have
to take turns going to Hampton Roads
for supplies unless it proves feasible
tc# serve them on the high seas.
The fleet will be the most powerful
gathered in recent years, including the
battleships Massachusetts, Indiana,
Maine and Texas, the cruisers New
York, Brooklyn, Columbia, Newark,
Raleigh, Montgomery, Marblehead and
Castine, the ram lvatahdin, the moni¬
tors Puritan and Amphitrite, the tor¬
pedo boats Cushing and Ericson, tlie
dispatch vessels Vesuvius and Dolphin
and the transport Fern.
BLAZE IN SYLVANIA.
Tlie Court House and a Number of Stores
Swept Away by Flames.
The business portion of Sylvania,
Ga., was fire swept Friday night. The
loss is estimated at $50,000.
The fire started about 10 o’clock in
M. 0. Well’s livery stable. Hilton’s
cash store cauglit next aud his other
store on the opposite side of the stable
caught about the same time.
P. A. Mock’s store was next in line
and it was soon a burning mass. A. J.
Laricey & Co.’s drug store, next door,
went down in very quick order, fol¬
lowed by M. T. Wells’ large store on
the corner.
The flames then leaped across the
street to J. F. Loveless’s store and
from there to the courthouse square.
The Telephone building,Pfieffer’s store
and a dwelling house also caught and
■were quickly burned. T. G. Smith’s
small paint shop next to The Telephone
building was swallowed up in a few
minutes.
The loss is covered by $8,000 insur¬

KILLED BY A POSSE.
SJMON COOPER’S CAREER ENDED
BY WINCHESTER BULLETS.
Ilia Moody Record Stump* Him a* South
Carolina’* star Criminal—A XVeek
of Horrible Crime*.
Simon Cooper, the red-handed South
Carolina desperado was killed by a
sheriff’s posse near Sumter, Friday at
noon.
Cooper’s record of crime was inau¬
gurated on Emancipation Day. He
was a crack shot, anil so he proved
himself when he attended the celebra¬
tion at Magnolia, in Sumter county.
He fancied that some one was trying
to drive over him, end started a row.
The negro in the buggy Anally
shot him inflicting a slight wound in
the neck. Other negroes tried to
seize Cooper, and Grant Davis, one of
them, was shot dead by Cooper. After
emptying his pistol, Cooper retired
under a culvert and quietly reloaded
his pistol. Then he came out and
deliberately shot down five men, among
those who had troubled him.
In the meantime a party of white
men had collected and decided to at¬
tempt his arrest. The negro cursed
them and dared them to come on, but
upon their approach he fled, after fir¬
ing several shots.
His whereabouts for a time was un
known.
Just after daylight Friday morning
he started out, but soon stopped at
the house of Thomas Boyle, colored,
and demanded that he let him have
his horse. He also, at the point of a
pistol, forced Boyle’s son, Isaac, to go
with him, saying he would send the
horse back by the boy. He rode the
horse and made the boy walk.
Thomas Boyle then hurried to Lynch¬
burg to tell the white people of Coop¬
er’s whereabouts. A party was soon
on horseback and when they arrived
about two miles from Lynchburg, at
the home of Mr. West Wilson, they
beheld a truly fearful picture.
Cooper had murdered Mr. West
Wilson, his wife, father and a colored
man, Preston Smith. Mr. Wilson,
Sr., was shot three times in the breast
and in each side. Mr. Wilson, Jr.,
was shot in the temple and in one side
of the heart and his head split open
with an ax. Mrs. Wilson was shot
once with a pistol ball in the back of
the head.
Since Thursday night sheriff’s pos¬
ses had been scouring the country,
using special trains where necessary,
in search of the desperado.
Leaving a trail of blood in his wake,
the negro defied arrest and kept on his
career of crime until surrounded in a
house near Sumter, shortly before
noon Friday, where he kept the pos
see at bay with his Winchester. Af¬
ter a terrible battle, lasting an hour,
the bloodthirsty desperado, embolden¬
ed by the success of daring, issued
from the house and was shot down.
Fist of Cooper’s Victims,
Killed—
HENRY DAVIS, colored.
JAMES ADAMS, colored.
WESLEY WILSON, white.
MRS. WESLEY WILSON, white.
BENJAMIN WILSON, white.
PRESTON SMITH, colored.
Wounded—
THOMAS ANDERSON.
WILLIAM ANDERSON.
JERRY STEWART.
HENRY ANCRUM and
JOHN DAItGAN, all colored.
Henry Davis was killed Emancipa¬
tion day and Janies Adams was wound¬
ed then, dying shot later, The other
wounded were on Emancipation
day. John Cooper states that Simon
also assaulted and killed a young wo¬
man named Alary Howell.
With the death of Simon Cooper
ends the career of the bloodiest des¬
perado in the criminal annals of South
Carolina, and probably of the entire
south. The record of his week of
crime defies comparison and is almost
beyond human comprehension. The
entire section in which the tragedies
were committed is convulsed with hor¬
ror, and men shudder at the name of
Simon Cooper.

It Was Funny.
When Duncan, the legerdemain ar¬
tist, who came to this country with
Chevalier, first appeared in New York,
he thought he would set the American
people crazy with his English humor.
While it is true he accomplished his
desire, it was hardly in the way he ex¬
pected. One of his exquisite bits of
humor ivas to step to the footlights
and ask:
“Is there a lady or gentleman in the
audience kind enough to lend me a fi’
pun note?”
Not a sound folloxved the question,
and Duncan was abashed. Relating
it to a party of American friends that
evening he complained of the Ameri
can lack of appreciation of good hu
mor.
“ ‘I’ll tell you a question you can of ‘;
ask tomorrow night,” spoke up one
the Americans, “and I’ll guarantee
you’ll get a laugh,” and he whispered
a moment into Duncan’s ear. He look¬
ed puzzled, but the American reas¬
sured him. On the following night
Duncan stepped to the footlights and
inquired, earnestly:
“Is there a lady or gentleman in the
audience kind enough to loan me a
twenty-five-dollar bill?” right.—St.

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Will cure the worst forms of female
complaints, all ovarian troubles, in¬
flammation and ulceration, falling and
displacements of the womb, and conse¬
quent spinal weakness, and is pecu¬
liarly adapted to the change of life.
Every time it will cure Backache.
It has cured more cases of leucor
rhoea by removing the cause, than any
remedy the world has ever known ; it
is almost infallible in such cases. It
dissolves and expels tumors from the
uterus in an early stage of develop¬
ment, and checks any tendency to can¬
cerous humors. Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Liver Pills work in unison with the
Compound, and are a sure cure for
constipation and sick headache. Mrs.
Pinkham’s Sanative Wash is of great
value for local application.
