waar even a question whether he
ought to do it at all. But of thia ac
tion he maxle no question. TWe Kentle-
[nan from Gwrgla (Crljp) alone was
to judge of his action. If (Che gentis-
nwa did not believe tlhiat the O’th'.r
membewi of thia committee on rules
were not adequate for the discussion.
Ft was for hhn to decldo when his pow
erful aid tftould be thrown into the bal
ance He (Reted) regretted Chat the
speaker had taken the floor, not only
on g-moral principals, but because he
had introduced Irtto the debate a oer-
tatn amount of parti®mship, thereby
fvho\v:u?r that although the rest of the
hou »e had survived ' the measures of
thia fifty-first congn es ait present the
speaker 'had not. To what had been
said about him personally he would
not reply, for he would not allow this
debate (to degenerate into a personal
question. (Republican applause).
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Sprinker. Boattncr and Hooker of Mlv-
^si«5:ppi, who contended that the trtem-
bershlp of the commit tea-'on rules
should be increased. Mr. Pickier, 'Re-

Senator Vnrhees. chairman of the
finance committee, reported back the
house hill repealing part of the Sher
man act within amendment In the na
ture of n substitute. He asked that
the bill be placed on the calendar and
r»*7tlcc that he ;bcj!^ ««v th« ven-
nte to take It up and consider It Imme
diately after the morning bu6ln03» from
this time on until final be taken. The
substitute, he said, was actually the
bill heretofore reported from the finance
committee. He understood that notice
of an Intention to address the senate
had been given by the senators from
Georgia (Gordon) nnd Sherman nnd h«
suggested that their remarks might be
made on the bill which he had Just rc-
yortel. He explained further that the
Mil as reported from the finance com
mittee was Identical with that passed
by the house, so far as concerned the
repeal of the purchasing clauses of the
Sherman act; and that from that point
on there was a certain matter which
In his Judgement Improved It and made
It more acceptable.
Senator Teller objected to the con-
sldcratlon of the repeal bill today and
It was placed an the calendar.
A resolution offered yesterday by
Senator Stewart was then laid before
the senate. It directs the secretary of
fhe treasury to Inform the senate
whether there Is danger of a deficiency
in the revenues of the government dur
ing the current year, and If so. what
the probable amount of such deficiency
and whether legislation is necessary to
supply suen deficiency. The resolu
tion gave rise rise to a long dtscsuslon.
Senators Sherman. Voortices, Mills.
McPherson and Harris opposed the res
olution as calling for problem'tlcal
statements aa calculated to. create
needless alarm, or aa reflecting on the
secretary-Of the treasury.
A motion' to refer the resolution to
the flnanace committee was made by
Senator Voorhees. That motion was
opposed by Senators Hill end Stewart.
Finally the resolution was referred to
the finance committee. Tens 40, naya

Gordon on tho Repeal.
Senator Gordon addressed the senate
In favor of the unconditional repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act. This wss. he said, one crumb
of comfort In the present caUraltlea
of the country, and emphasised the
damage done by congressional mis
takes. In the long list of financial
woes there was heard one oheertng
note. That note was the voice of the
people calling upon Democrats to re-
deertv their pledges. That was the pop
ular demand for the repeal of the Sher
man act and for the inauguration of a
sound and stable and liberal policy of
finances.
The Dejnocnstc party made for the
people four distinct, emphatic and une
quivocal ■promises. They wer»: To re
form the tariff; to repeal the Sherman
law; to place gold sod silver on an
equal foot Ag, and to remove the tag
on atarte bank*. Coupled sritb thee*
premia** t-hd* had been the one condi
tion ah art the people should turn out
(*!»> Republican* and turn the govern
ment over to tbb Democrats, and now
wv«i on anxious, even agonizing sus
pense. (ho people looked to the Demo-
cfat# to ms what they w*re going to
do. There was no escape for the party.
It had cither to redeem or repudiate its
pledges. The pledge as to tariff /atom
would doubtless be fulfilled in due timer
n»t eo as to hamper or cripple th* in
dustries of the country; pot an as to
phsc: obstructions in the pathway efch'-r
of infant or aged Industries: hut. by a
better disposition, a wiser adjustment,
possibly by free raw material, to help

HAVOC OF

HURRICANE
(Continued from pa*6 1.)
i Irieli Potato Vines Are Reported
’runs Off By the Terrific Storm
of Sunday Night—Ilow Cot
ton Has Suflereds
Atlanta. Aug. 29.-(Speclal.)—'The
weekly crop report- of the weather bu
reau Issued today shows a derided
shortage in tto? cotton crop all over the
state. Rust has done more or less dam-
dgc lr. tVS» ocuuuu anu imr Luivlcaso
of Sunday night also did great dam
age.
A r-porter from the vldnty of Au
gusta is quoted as follows:
"The damage to cotton was enormous.
A killing fro*t could hardly have
worked more serious damage than Sun
day night's hurricane. Cotton was not
very good in eastern Georgia anyway
this year, and thia violpnt destructive
storm has ruined the prospects of many
a farmer for anything like a fair crop.
The picking of cotton is rapidly ad
vancing now and farmers will soon
know Just how short their crop is." •
Peas, sugarcane and potatoes con
tinue -to do moderately well. As thn
picking advances It becomes more and
more evident that cotton will be very
short this year, some think even Shorter
than last year. A small crop to the
large amount of rust on cotton Is at
tributed this year’s failure to secure a
good crop.
The past jveek in southern Georgia
has been very favorable for gathering
ootton. which is opening rapidly on
some plantation*. The crop will be cut
off one-third. Rust has caused the forms
and young fruit to drop off. Only at a
few places has the crop buen reported
to be In good condition.
Great havoc was wrought to planta
tions in the southeastern part of, the
state m Georgia’s coast counties by
the mioent hurricane. All crops were
injured and targe quantities of timber
were felled. Even os small things aa
Irish potato vines had their tops com-
piuoriy wrung on by the violent gusts
of wind. Pea vines and al) other small
crops, besides the larger crops, did not
escape the fury of the storm.
BRUNSWICK FEELS BLUER.
Brunswick, Auc. 2!).—(Special.)—
There are no mote suspicious cases.
Six days have passed and if any genus
are in Brunswick no one can find them.
So thoroughly satisfying were reports
from all the physicians today that It
was decided unnecessary to Issue 3.
bulletin. The health board's s.lence
Is significant and 00 more yellow fever
uk* will be reported.
Judge Alfred V Crovatt, a prominent
citizen, has returned and says uc looks
for a speedy resumption of Bruns
wick's growth. Dr. C. Fagct of New
Orleans, an expert, arrived today and
will take charge of the hospital at
Camp Hutton Is needed. He has been
tn consultation with the surgeons in
charge here and will remain until the
quarantine to raised.
Burgeon Hutton today said be would
push Camp Hutton to completion so
that It will be in readiness in toe event
that any new case* rcqu.rc its use. hut
as they have had six days indemnity
from any further outbreak of the dis
ease, things look favorable to a speedy
relaxation la quarantine regulations.
Dr. Uultcras has made a canvass ■
IVayncsviUe and surroundings, which
develops the fact that there to no sick
ness thereabouts of a suspicious nat
ure among the Brunswick refugees and
others.
Dr. Huttcn speaks encouragingly of
the prospect*. Dr. Gultcras rays It is
safe to presume that the fever has
been stopped by the system of thor
ough d.-pffuilati'jn nnd endorses Mayor
Lamb's action In issuing s proem nm
tkg> to the people to leave. Dps Hut
ton and Carter endorse Mayor Lnmb'a
proclsm.vt.oa and think his method of
ridding Brunswick of her people has
saved her from an' epidemic.

Little actual loss will result from it.
A vertical, cyclone, with all the ter
ror- which the word ha* for the peo
ple of this section, swept up the coast
and across Charleston yesterday. Early
Saturday morning the dreaded signal
was run up and the city held Its breath,
too Ring the storm might pass us by.
Saturday night a heavy northeast gale
started shortly after midnight and blew
for several hours, but as a partial lull
had preceded the dawn -and continued
throughout the early hours of the
morning, ft was t. -oed that after all
the dty would not fall wltlaln the track
of the cyolone. But the weather looked
exceedingly dirty yesterday morning
and the wind rose again to a gale and
came in fitful, angry gusts out of the
northenrt. A heavy canopy of clouds,
which during the frenoon drifted rap
idly across the heavens, began to set
tle down upon the city. It had that
muddy tinge which suggested there
was plenty of wind behind It. Seaward
a -necivy mist thickened until it be
came a avail of clouds. There was no
longer a doubt that the dreaded cy
clone was to descend upon the city In
all its fury.
'i'lie Cvnrt Took the Alitrin.
The craft lying at anchor In the bay
were the first to take the alarm, and
ftom all quarter* of the harbor they
came hurrying tn. All that could do so
found mooring along 'he wharves, and
other less fortunate moved higher Into
tho river and mala >l.t' beat anchorage
they could. The largest vessels, no less
than the smallest croft, nought protec
tion from the angry tempest. Fortu
nately there are comparatively few large
s.uns In nort lust now. else the damage
dor.c might have been multiplied many
t lines By 1 o’clock a special bulletin
from the weather bureau posted .tn front
of the News and Caurer building warn
ed the citizens of the Impending disas
ter. The few peap'e who were out in
the storm congrerated about the board,
nnd having read the dispatch, anxiously
Inqu-rsd for further and fuller parttcu-
lura For the mov |-uit, however, the
people had kept tn tntl- houses through
out the day. The attenoance at the va
rious churches wss small and few people
who were not ainolutely compelled to
do ro beyond their cash doors, but the
•nquirlea for further details of the hurrl-
can* Were anxious .and endless. The

«-.*>_ Ths veli.’t/ wa» estlmatoi at
from forty to sixty miles/ There was
nothin for the people but to calmly
await ttoe bursting of tint- storm. It did
not come suddenly, but after warning.
Increasing steadily but perceptibly in
force and fury the wind etrengttoened
sa with an increasing purposo from A
gate to a huricane, until before the
darkness finally fell with howling fury
over the houses and strewed the city
with wreckage and debris of every
kind and description.
It continued to come In those sullen,
anery'tuats. which mean so much to
;ls familiar wtlh the tenors of
such disasters. Tiling went flying in
every quarter until. It was unsafe to
walk the streets. Pedestrians venture
some enough to weather the storm
found thin calves drenched with rain,
their umbrellas turned wremgside out
and themselves 1 .almost swept off their
