SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., DECEMBER 22 1893.
AT THE CAEIT0L.
Report of the Proceedings ;of*the Fifty-
Third Congress.!
in Tjie sennto.
Sixth Day. —The expec to a political
debate on the Federal elec t! jn bill did
not materialize today. Mr . Hill ft c-
qieBcing to the suggestion ref « f Mr. Hoar
that tho bill should be erred to the
committoe on privileges’!ai question id elections.
'rho Halvailun was the all-
absorbing topic and an otli ,er resolution
ottered calling upon the president
for information. Tjie re solution went
over until tomorrow 1 - At 2:40 tho
senate adjourned.
o Seventh Day.-TMI i-i ■ irst gun of j. the ,
inevitable parliament the hr;y battle <>f the repeal in the
senate upon elLio, quest tan tired
of the federal i km laws was
today, aud it came 1 one of the
opponots Of repeal — Senator Cullom
of Illinois. Senator i Itewart of Nova-
da, in a short speech, advocated the
repeal of the election taws, and inci-
dentally gave express!, in to some of
his well-known views c w the financial
question. The resoiuti on calling upon
the president for additi oital informa-
tioa in the Hawaiian m atter was laid
over until tomorrow, in order that Mr.
Frye of Maine might sui unit some re¬
marks.-
Eighth Day.—T he liaiwaiian ques-
lion rlitii-iisJon* was a^tin the subicet of am mat-
pH in tho Sisnato haracterizecl lodiv
Mr. Blount’s report was <i
as containing “not one li.t e of wnvar-
nished truth” by Mr. Fry« • of Maine,
while Mr. Vest of Mist-ot tri declared
that while he was opposed tot the an-
nexation of the islands, the restora-
tion of the queen by force would be
an act of war. The resolution offered
on Monday by Mr. hoar, calling upon
the president for further information
in the Hawaiian matter* was finally
referred to the committse on foreign
affairs. The senate also listened with
attention to a tariff speech from Mr.
Morrill of Vermont,
9tii Day. —In the seuatef today much
business of a miscellaneous character
was transacted. The ho use bill re-‘
pealing the fedeial election) laws, re-
furred to the committee <>m privileges
and elections a few days ago, was re-
ported back favorably ant I placed °n
the calendar. Among tlm bills intro-
duced the most important was one by
Senator Voorbets,-ehairqian or the
committee on finance-, providing for
the coinage of the silver seigniorage
in the treasury at the rate of $2,000,-
000 month, and when that was
exhausted the purchase for coinage of
a similar hill amount providing of silver for monthly*, add*-
A hottse two
tionai associate justices of the su;:reu*e
courdof Oklahoma territory was also
passed. The resolution offered some
days ago by Mr. Peffer of Kansas to
rescind a recent order closing the sen-
ate chamber to visitors was considered.
It was provocative of much debate and
finally referred to the committee on
rules.
IOtii Day. —The Senate when it
adjourned yesterday was to •in net again
an Monday.
In The House.
Fifth Day.—T he inornitug hour was
spent in discussion of the Utah bill,
but the time expired without any ao-
tion being taken, and tlie house went
into committee of tlie whole on the
Torrey bankruptcy bill. Mr. Bland
of Missouri moved to strike out the
enaction clause, thus defeating the
measure, and after an excited debate
his motion prevailed. The motion to
strike out ttie enacting clause was car¬
ried on a yea and nay vote 142 to 111.
This killed the bankruptcy bill. The
Louse at 3 p. m., abjourned until Mon¬
day.
Sixth Day. —Tho session of the
house was brief aud uninteresting to¬
day. Several bills of minor impOfi-
lance were passed during tho morning
hour, and an agreement was readied
l*y which tomorrow aiul Wednesday
will be devoted io tlie consideration
of tho bill for the admission of the
territory of Utah.
Seventh Day. —The house today
discussed the question of pinning an¬
other star on the American flag. The
consideration of the biff for the ad¬
mission of Utah into the sisterhood
of states was begun. The principal
point at issue was whether tho enab¬
ling act should contain a provision
imposing pains and penalties for poly¬
gamous marriages, the contention on
the one hand being that the state
should come in on an equal footing
with other states; on tlie other that as
polygamy had been stamped out by a
statute, and as the admission of the
territory would repeal that statute,
congress should make it practically
a part of tho enabling act. The entire
day was spent in (lie discussion of
these questions.
8 th Day —The bill for the admis-
sion of Utah to statehood was passed
Without division by tlie house today
at the conclusion of tho debate, the
only amendment* of importance in-
by Mr. Powers p* * of Vermont, a<;t being
one pro-
poligamy forever, and anoth-
er by Mr. Wheeler ofAiabatna.re-
duciltg one-half of the Jand ”, "ranted (

the correspondence to 188

was expected that a livelv debate
would occur when this resolution was
reported back to tho house, but Mr.
U'tt tho author, refrained from crlti-
cizing and there was no explosion.
Mr. Boutelle of Maine, who manifest-
cd- u disposition to speak, was taken
^ his feet by tho motion to order the
previous question.
9 th Day. —There was no buai-
ness of importance attended to today.

STRANGE STORY.
A. Freak of Nature by Which the
t hildCnunot Speak lo llie Father
Dr. George It. Uallewood of Birds,
eye, lud., relates the story of a 10-
year-old child of one of iiis parents,
who cannot speak to its father, though
perfectly glib with every one eLe.
The cause assigued may be gathered
from the following:
Previous to the child’s birth a differ
enee arose betweeu the parents, and
for several weeks tho mother refused
to speak to her husband. The offence,
whatever it was, was condoned, but
not till after the child was born. In
due time the little boy , began to talk,
‘but when with his father was invari-
.ably silent. It conliuued thus until
the child was 5 or 6 years old, when
the father, having exhausted his pow¬
er of persuasion, threatened condign
punishment for its stubbornness.
This was inflicted, but without elicit¬
ing a word, though his groans told too
plainly he could neither cry nor speak
and that he vainly tried. Those pres¬
ent joined in the opinion that the pre¬
natal effect of the parental quarrel
made it impossible for the boy to
speak to his father. Time has proved
the correctness of this theory.
Though on perfectly friendly re¬
lations with Uis father, attempts to
speak to him elicit nothing but sighs.

frimted by the sub-committee to
which the full committee on banking
and currency referred all measures re-

framed will be reported to the full

report to the House. It does not re-
peal the tat unconditionally, but pro-
videa that issues of currency shall be

of the Currency, and shall be limited

vision will prevent the issue of cur.

sues. It is understood that the bid
has the approval of the president, who
desires repeal, if it is surrounded with
proper safeguards.
Suff’o-i’ Bounty Under Discussion.
Mr. Harter of Ohio, has been talk¬
ing to a number of democratic mem¬
bers of the house in regard to a
change iu the proposed taxation oi
sugar. “Tiio sentiment,” said Mr.
Harter, “is rapidly growing that th*
statesmanlike treatment of sugar wit)
be to abolish the bounty and pnta uni¬
form tax of 1 per cent on all kinds oi
sugar. It would save next, year about
$10,000,000 to $12,000,000 in bounties
alone and put fro.n $30,000,000 to
$35,000,800 of revenue iu the treas¬
ury. iu other words, this change is
expected to produce a net, increase in
the revenues of from $40,000,000 to
$47,000,000 a year, which is greatly
to be desired.”
Argeniine Pleased With Free Wool.
That portion of the Wilson bill
which provides for the free importa¬
tion of woil into the United States
has been received with much favor in
the Argentine Republic. At genline
already supplies the United States
with a large proportion of bides that
enter into its commerce, and it is said
that if wool is placed upon (he free
list that trade with that country will
be greatly increased at once.
Another Plum for National Banka.
The House sub-committee on rank¬
ing and currency lias agreed to report
favorably the bill allowing national
banka to issue circulation notes to the
full amount of bonds deposited to se¬
cure circulation.
Some Cotton Future Figures.
Senator Baic of Tennessee, lias ar-.
rived in tho city from jmcw urieans,
where he and Senator George have
been acting as a sab-committee of tho
senate committee on agriculture in the
investigation of the present condition
of the market for cotton. Speaking
of their work, Mr. Bate said the com¬
mittee had succeeded to a great extent
in getting all the history and modus
operandi of dealers in cotton futures,
and the investigations developed some
remarkable facts, extending back to
1872, at which time the dealing in
cotton futures was inaugurated in
New York and New Orleans, which
will be brought to light when the com¬
mittee’s report is presented or in the
discussions iu the senate. They as-
certaiued. for instance, that 62.000,-

DUN’S REVIEW.
Trade of All Kinds Waiting to see
Result of tlie Tariff Rill
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review
ox trade, among other things says:
Trade of all kinds is waiting.
There is no visible improvement, and
Otl the whole the indications are a little
less satisfactory than they were a
week ago. There is a decided dispo¬
sition to wait until congress has acted
on the tariff question. Hence the days
of uncertainty are likely to last. some
weeks. Wheat has risen a shade;
receipts ot corn were unusually large
and the movement in cotton was not
encouraging to holders. The price
declined l-8e, with strong evidence
that the continued heavy receipts are
wearying to holders, Cotton tnanu-
facturing does better than other
branches at present, and yet it has not
a very healthy appearance. The de¬
mand is not strong and prices of goods
barely mantained. Iu woolen
goods the sense of disappointment is
very clear, and there seems no reason
to expect any decided recovery until
congress has acted on the tariff ques¬
tion. resumed (Hiring .
