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 of the Norfolk Driving Club and Fair Association, one mile from Norfolk, Va., resulting in the cremation of thirteen fine horses and probably the fatal burning of Tony Brown, a colored hostler. Among the horses burned was Tid dley-Winks, John Mariner's $10,000 trotter, one of the fastest horses in the south. Two were line Kentucky ra cers owned in Georgia. The loss will f°°t up M least $30,000. Nebraska Hank Succumbs. The First National hank, of Alma, Neb., has been closed by Examiner Whitmore.

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¬ ance Judge Speer Confirms Sale. Judge Speer has confirmed the sale of the electric railway property at Sa¬ vannah to Herman Myers and J. H.

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. CHARGED WITH THE WRECK. Seven Negroes Itiver Jailed for the Cahaba Wreck, A charge of train wrecking has been formally made against Andrew Fagan, Lucy Fagan, Emanuel Billings, Tom Parker, Tom Ingram, Rome Scales and Nat Tranum, the negroes held in jail at Birmingham, Ala., under suspicion of having caused the Cahaba river wreck.

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. He got the laugh then all Paul Dispatch. & mm - i L 1 WBHm gjfjjsgg 5 !
