II ALLS OF CONGRESS
DAILY PROCEEDINGS OF DOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
Wlmt Our Nnttonal Law-Makers are
Doing for the Country.
The house was in session five hours
i Friday afternoon, and the net result
j was the pnssage of a bill directing tho
| payment of SIO,OOO to Representative

upon the bill regulating tho printing
and publication of public documents.
Mr. Blair, republican, of New Hamp
shire, introduced a joint resolution
directing an investigation by
the department of labor into
the lynchings of the past ton
years, tho cause thereof, etc., which
wns referred to tho committeo ou
labor. The last two hours of the after
noon session were devoted to tho con
sideration of bills to reclassify and
regulate the salaries of clerks in the
railway postal service and in first and
second class jiostoffices, but no action
was taken on either of them. Tho
house voted to adjourn over until
Monday. At 5 o’clock, under the
rules, the house took a recess until 8
o’clock, the evening session to he de
voted to the consideration of private
pension bills. At the evening session
nino private pension hills wero re
ported with favorable recommenda
tion, and at 10 o’clock p. m. the house
adjourned nntil noon Monday.
The house, Monday, voted to non
concur iu the senate amendments to
the general deficiency bill, and asked
a conference thereon. On motion of
Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi, tho sen
ate was requested to return the con
ference report on the river and harbor
bill, in which an error was discovered,
a sheet of it having disappeared. Mr.
Paynter, of Kentucky, announced that
owing to the enforced absence of Mr.
Woodward, of North Carolina, who
made the report for tho minority in
the contested election case of Williams
vs. Settle, from the fifth North Carolina
district in favor of Williams, and
which had heeu set for consideration
during the day, it has been agreed that
the ease should go over until next ses
sion.
In the house, Tuesday, tho senate
amendments wero agreed to the bills
to subject greenbacks and national
bank notes to state taxation and to
amend sections 2,401 and 2,403 of the
revised Statutes relating to tbe survey
of public lands: also for the protection
of persons furnishing labor and mate
rial in the construction of buildings.
A concurrent resolution was agreed to
directing the secretary of the interior
to suspend the opening to settlement

ida. A senuto bill was passed to amend

ing excursion boats, plying between

Immediately afterwards Mr. (latch
ings, from the committee on rules, re
ported a special older setting aside
the day for the consideration of bills
from the committee on public build
ings and grounds, and Thursday for
business from the committeo on cluiras.
The special order was adopted.
the senate.
The last of the appropriation bills,
the general deficiency, passed the sen
ate Friday and will now go to a con
ference, in which the disagreeing votes
of the two houses will be reconciled
and adjusted. Seven out of tho four
teen appropriation bills have already
become law through the signature of
the president. These are the fortifi
cations, the pensions, the military
neademy, the naval academy, the post
office, the diplomatic and the legisla
tive. The other seven are some of
them in the president’s hands awaiting
approval and the remainder in confer
ence. Tho house bills for the admis
sion of the territories of New Mexico
and Arizona ns states were reported
from tho committee on territories and
placed on the calendar, from which
they may be taken at any time and
passed. The conference report on the
river and harbor bill was presented
and went over until Saturday. After
a short executive session tho senate
adjourned.
There would have been no session
of the sen'ate Saturday but for the suet
that there had been an earnest desire
expressed on Friday evening to have
action on the conference report on tho
river and harbor bill. It was discov
ered, however, that technical errors
had crept into the report, or into the
bill, and that it was necessary to send
the whole matter back to the confer
ence committee; and so the report was
withdrawn for that purpose. The ab
sence of any important business press
ing for action lurnished an opportunity,
tbe first time ibis session, of tuking
up the calendar and disposing of ail
private pension bills on it. There
was ouo rather important bill passed,
with very little discussion and with
no opposition. That was tho house
bill to subject to state taxation nation
al bank notes nud United States treas
ury notes. A few amendments of
form rather than of substance were
made to the bill.
The bill introduced by Davis, Fri
day, defining options and futures and
imposing special taxes thereon, was at
his request read the second time in
the senate, Monday morning, and laid
on the table. Mr. Mills offered a res
olution declaring that in the revision
of national taxation, these three prin
ciples should be observed: That all
taxes are burdens and can only be
rightfully imposed to raise a revenue
for the support of the government;
that when taxes are imposed on im
ported goods, the rule.- should be so low
aH not to materially r> strict the im
portation of kn article; and that in se
chosen, and that all those imported
for manufacture or re-manufacture,
should be oxempt from duty. It was
laid on the table temporarily at Mills’
request, Mills saying he would call it
up in a few days and make some re
marks upon it. Tho Chandler resolu
tion for inquiry into the facts eonuect
ed with the organization nud history
of tho Dominion Coal Company, of
Novia Scotia, wns taken up. ,
After au hour’s debate in the senate
Tuesday morning, on the claim of one
Leathers, for carrying tho United
States mail on the Mississippi rivor
before tin- war, the matter went over
until Wednesday nud the senate took
up the conference report on ihe Dis
trict of Columbia Omnibus Street
Railway bill nud ut 2:05 adjourned.

hundred and eight ballots had been
taken and State Senator Miles Crow

the first ballot as the democratic nom
inee for congress from the district.
This was the result of a caucus by
the Gresham and Lane factions.
The North Carolina democratic
state convention met at Kaleigh
Wednesduy, nearly every county being
represented. The convention will
nominate four supreme court judges
and a state treasurer. The incumbents
of these offices have no opposition.
The interesting questions are the sil

maries for the instruction of members
of the legislature for United States
senators, there being two to elect in
January.

stand at $50,020,015. Cold to the
amount of $200,000 was gained in or

Tho house democratic caucus of
Tuesday afternoon adjourned after de
ciding that the house conferees on tho
tariff bill should not lie embarrassed
by instructions of any character from
their democratic associates. This ac
tion was disappointing to the pro
moters of the caucus. Mr. llolman
presided. The roll call disclosed the
presence of 108 members, nu unusual
ly large number.
The “tomorrow” upon which the
tariff conferees havo been for some
weeks promising nu agreement at last
gives promise of fulfillment. When
tho tariff conferees adjourned at a few
minutes before 0 o’clock Wednesday
it was with the understanding that at
tho session Thursday morning all the
details should lie arranged and the re
publicans called in the afternoon and
informed of what their democratic
colleagues had done.
Acting under instructions from the
executive committee of the hoard, of
foreign missions of tho Southern Pres
byterian church, tho Rev. Dr. J. W.
Bachman, its representative at Wash
ington, called on Sdbretary Gresham
and the Japanese charge to ask that
measures he taken to protect the mis
sionaries of tho church iu the east.
Secretary Gresham told Mr. Bachman
that ho did not think there was any
immediate danger to the missionaries,
but that they would he protected.
A Washington special of Saturday
says: Another week has passed and
except for rumors the conference com
mittees on tho tariff are no ncarur than
when they entered the committee
room, Spoaker Crisp holds the key
to tho situation, It is he who is hold
ing tho senate at hay. The speaker
wants a bill more after the order of
tho one tho house framed and if it is
possible to get it, it will be hud. The
house conferees may not win out, but
they will not yield until tho spesV er
is thoroughly convinced that the bill
will bo lost otherwise. He has not
reached that conclusion yet. The
senato is yielding i»y inches. . It has
proposed a sugar schedule which gives
the trust a differential of about half
what the senate bill gave it. Tho con
ferees were oil this proposition all
day Saturday. One of tho conferees
gave out the information that the last
liar in tho fence might bo lowered at
any time and the committee get to

The trial of Banto Cesario was con
cluded at Paris Friday. When the arg

gave these questions to the jury: "Did
the prisoner, Santo Cesario, assassin
ate President Carnot, and was the
crime premeditated? v The jury retired
at 12 :05 oeloek and was out just thir
ti en minutes. They returned to court
and presented an affirmative answer to
both questions. At the announcement
of the verdict the supercilious grin
which Cesario has worn most of the
time during the trial disappeared like
magic and his face blanched.
Attorney General Folchier demanded
the immediate imposition of tho death
penalty. ’I here was a silence for a

TRADE IMPROVES.
Ilraelstreet’* Report of lltislncss for
the Past Week.
Brndstreot’s Business Review of the
past week says:
“While little significance is attached
to the moderate improvement in trade
at Sun Francisco, Pittsburg, Balti
more, Augusta and Atlanta; when it is
added that clearing house totals foi
July report twenty-nine cities with
larger aggregates than in July last
year, contrasted with the June report,
which contains only eighteen cities
with aggregates larger than those in
Juno a year ago, it is perceived that,
there aro influences at work at the in
terior favoring an increase iu the vol
ume of business. Wool remains stendy
at last week's 1 cent advance,
speculation having been stimulated
by differences of opinion as to tbe
tariff outlook for that staple. Wheat
lias advanced, in sympathy with corn,
ou increased orders ami reports of
crop damage from abroad, while corn’s
charp advance is due partly to exag
gerated notions of damage from
drought. There is little likelihood of
tho corn crop being smaller than in
either of the two preceding years, not
withstanding our advices of 25 per
cent damage in Kansas and 40 per
cent in Nebraska. Southern crop
prospects generally are excellent.
“The improvement announced in
tho general trade at San Sraneiseo is
iu part based on the interest manifes
ted in tho war in Asia, provision deal
ers particularly anticipating larguly
increased trade.
“War between China and Japan has
not affeoted tho price of ten hero yet,
though there is an increased demand
noted at Now York, Boston and
Chicago, Cable advices are that crops
of tea are likely to equal those of lust
year. Teas are low now, and stocks
here moderate. If tea ports should lie
closed high prices would follow quick
ly. China exports lmt little rice, and
Japan’s rieo export season has passed,
while wo are entering upon a new crop.
Brices of rice would probably be sharp
ly affected should the war continue
another season. They may be moder
ately enhanced in any event.
“Added interest in wool has charac
terized the l’hiludelphia as well as
Boston markets, Slight iucrenses iu
the demand in nearly all leading lineH
are reported from Pittsburg, and at
Baltimore jobbers in dry goods, no
tions, hats and shoes report business
more encouraging. Providence jewel
ry manufacturers report orders vet y
small and the outlook not promising.
“Advices from southern cilice- re
port moderate gums and fair prospects
for the fall at Memphis, no improve
ment in Charleston, the trade selling
cautiously at Savannah, and business
quiet ut Jacksonville, where collec
tions arc slow. There is an improve
ment in the volume of Imoinc .s at Au
gusta, and jobbers at Atlanta are tilling
orders more freely, owing to good crop
prospects. Nashville, too, announces
an improved outlook. Chattauooga’s
July trade is reported larger than for
June, hut at Birmingham business is
quiet and collections nnimprovod.
Trade lias been slack at Now Orleans,
but the hoot and shoo business is im
proving and manufacturers nro busy.
Advices from Galveston and other
points in Texas continuo to report im
provement.”
A HI'.VVE ENGINEER
Thwarts Train Robbers by Rushing
Through an Obstruction.
Lake Bhore express train No. 12,
arriving from the west, puffed into the
union station at Cleveland, 0., Tues
day morning after having enjoyed a
most thrilling experience on the plains
of Indiana during tho night. An at
tempt was made to hold up the train
ut Kessler, Indiana, upon the iden
tical spot that the train was held up last
fall. The train was fast approaching
a split switch at Kessler when the
engineer noticed that the switch was
turned so as to run tho train on the
siding. A big obstruction of ties and
lumber was piled upon the siding a
few rods ahead of his engine. The
obstruction did not appear to be im
passable, and the engineer put on all
the steam and dashed through the pile,
passing safely on to the main line
through tho split switch at a high rate
of speed.
As the train passed tho obstruction
the engineer noticed a group of masked
men and as tho engine cleared tho
track of all obstacles the wcmld-be
highwaymen fired several shots into
the train, none of which, however,
took effect.
The United States express car was
attached to the train and had on board
a largo amount of money. It is
thought that this was known to the
desperadoes who attempted to hold up
the train. Their disappointment in
not carrying out their plans of stop
ping the train was evinced in their
firing of shots when they saw that
their plans had been foiled by the
boldness of the engineer in dashing
through tho heap of ties upon the
track.
MORE J A I*AN USE VICTO RIES.
Great Britain and Russia Fall as
Peacemakers.
Advices of Wednesday from Yoko
honia, Japan, state that additional
battles have been fought between the
Japanese and Chinese, and the latter
have been defeated. Seikioau has
been takeD by the Japanese with trifl
ing loss. The Chinese in this engage
ment lost 500 killed. The enemy fled
in tho direction of Koshin. The Jap
anese are in possession of Yashan.
An imperial ordinance just issued
permits Chinese to reside in Japan on
condition that they engage in peaceful
pursuits. Tho greatest excitement
prevails at Yukohoms, at Tokio and at
other towns, ns a result of the victor
ies of tho Japanese troops. Rumors,
however, are current that tho Japanese
naval forces have been defeated in an
engagement with Chinese war ships.

BILL ARP’S LETTER.
WILLIAM IS DOWN ON SECRET
POLITICAL ORDERS.
Diligent Work Heats Alliance Grips
ami Passwords.
Our farmer.! are going to be in a bail fix next
winter. They wont have any nubbins to feed
•he steers on. I never saw such big fine corn
nor so much of it. I never saw such fine cot
ton in Bartow % county nor a* uitioh of it. Our
farmers made a fine crop of wheat and oats,
ami they will make a big crop of sweet pota
toes. The gardens are tine, the cattle are fat,
ami ths chickens an- juicy. A kind providenoo
and diligent work bea's the nllisnco and all its
► igns and grip.-* and passwords and resolutions.
I sco that some farmers in South Carolina have
recently parsed a resolution that they will not
sell their cotton seed for bss than 20 cents a
bushel. If they moan by that to put them
back in the land, it is good, but if they mean
to force the market price, it is as foolish as our
state alliance at Macm, that a few years ago
r< solved that they would hold their cotton un
til it brought 12 1-2 cents a pound Hut far
mers generally have quit such foolishn* as and
havo fallen back on hard work. They had :K?mQ
fun, nud a few of their leaders got into office,
but the masses nev r got their bands in the
sub-treasury iioi their cotton and grain in gov
ernment warehouses. I never knew any good
to come of 'heso secret-cits-* associations, 6x
cept win ro they ar ■ formed for charity. Those
formed for political purposes arc a menace to
good government, and an insult to outsiders.
I remember when the know-nothing party came
into being and Jor a few months hover, d over
tho country flk« a dark and threatening
cloud. Those who did not belong to it
felt. subdued and alarmed for they did not
know who th y were nor whom to talk to in
confidence, rom* morning* wo would find the
sidewalk spotted witii r«d pap* r tt iangles that
meant a secret meeting somewhere that night.
If a municipal election came * ff the. know
nothings never said a word, hut when the bal
lots were conn' od m« n were elected who were
not eindidafce*. Outsiders stood aghast. Many
would havj joined but wore not wanted nor in
rited. “Pm none but Americans on guard to
night” was tho patriotic shibboleth, and no
foreign-born citizen need apply- Protestant
preachers wcraall in, but no priests nor Homan
Ostlu lies. 411® soon the power of money began
to be felt ; of tlie woist men were nom
inated for office. About that time Aleck
HtephcuS had waked up to the situation. He
stumped the stale against tho now party, and
so keen was his invoetivo, so masterly his argu
ments, tiiat good men everywhere dropped out
of it, and their candidates were defeated. It
was withering and tragic tb ,-oo the little giaut
flash his dark eyes and boir him scream:
“How nowiye secret,dark and midnight bags!
What is it ye do? A deed without a name.”
Yes, a party without a name, a party that dark
moth counsel without knowledge, a starchom

and Baron do Steuben, if they wore here; a

L tme see. That was about forty years ago,
and now that same old party has conic to life
again under a new name—the A- P. A.’s— and
its vilification of Human Catholics is just liko
it was then. Th* papers sent mo from Duluth
and Rock Island teem with slander and lies.
They declare tho Iloinan C'&tholic priests to be
liber tin ss and tho convents bagni*s and the ed
itor of tho Duluth paper boldly charges that
tlm cells in the basement of me convent in Dn-
Juth mre built to imprison tho nuns who re
fused to submit themselves to the pri* sts. Tho
Dululh paper says that tho assertions that tho
Mieimans were Human Catholics is an infamous,
slanderous lie, and that if lion# era us, Mc-
Clellan and McDowell anti McCltnnard
were Homan Catholics they wore Utter failures
ns commanders; that out of tho 144,000 Cath
olic Irishmen in tho union army, over 100,000
of them deserted, and that it was Human Cath*
ol c infiueiico that caused tho assassination of
Lincoln and Gurfiold. They are awful mad
with Mr. Cleveland for«tt< tiding high mass on
the death of Carnot, and denounce the pope
for sending old J* IT Davis hi* apostolic bless
ing. The anathemas in these papers are fear
ful, anti I don’t see how they can keep up the
lick. When I was young I read a book called
“The Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk.” Maria
was un escaped nun from a Homan Catholic
e nveut in Montreal,and her pitiful story was as
startling a* is that of IdaWeJls on the southern
people. She sold 200,000 copies in a littlo
time, and wah a great heroine in the best so
ciety of New York and Boston. But by and by
the whole story was disproved by a committee of
Protestant clergymen in Montreal, and Maria
had to retire as a fraud and an impostor. But
she made a snug little fortune to retire on,and
that is what Ida is trying to do. The fools are
not all doad yet, and she knows it.
But no party can ride into power on the
waves of persecution, 04pecially religious perse
cution. The A. P. A-’s will only make the Ro
man Catholics stronger and more zealous. They
are strong nbw. They can stand alone even in
a sectarian war. The pope and tho cardinal
and aichbishops have recently made a declara
tion against the liquor traffic that will have a
wide-spread influence for good government in
this country. I wonder what Duluth will say
about that.* But persecution, boycotting, exil
ing, disqualifying for office and general ostra
cism for opinion’s sake has never been a lasting*
success, llamau thought he had the dead
wood on Mordecai and the Jews, but llamau
was hung and 75,000 of h s confederates were
slain with the sword.
But, what excuse can the people of the south
have tor this persecution of tho Homan Catho
lics? I gather from these organs of the A. P % .
A’s. that ono grevious comphpnt against the
Irish is that thuy vote the democratic ticket
and hurrah for Grover Oleve and, and are
against a protective tariff and are friendly to
southern traitors. This is about the sum of
their offen iiug. and lor this they are “not vo
hold office nor io bo employed in any capaci y
if a Pro:estant can bo obtained to do the work
nquind.” These two tilings constitute the
creed of the A. P. A’s. Then, how can any self
re p cting southern man join them or give
them aid and c mfort in any wa}?” Jefferson
said that ciror ceases to bo dangerous when
reason is left free-to ombat it—and there
never wai a time when reuson was as free and
as intelligent as it is now iu the United Htato*.
Iho whole thing is a republican scheme, but it
will not work in tho south. Our people aro
getting hard to fool with bait that do -s not
hide the hook*—Bill Arp iu Ailuuta Constitu
