gratory birds, and are only to be found

trol all public meetings on the streets,
so as to disperse auy gathering that

the dumping .grounds of the -city for.
police purposes only. An important
bill for the schools and teachers of the
state was introduced by Mr. Fleming, of
Richmond. The bill calls fora direct tax.
Another important bill was introduced

cases, but does not make it compulso¬
ry for them to do so. The following
bills .were read the third time and

\ number of new bills were then in
trodueed. An important bill in the
interest of free and honest labor and
manufacturers giving employment to
sllcb labor, was introduced by Mr.
Martill> of Fulton. It is a bill pro¬
viding for the labeling of all merckan
dise sold, in this state and mauufactur
ed j n any penitentiary, reformatory
or other places where convict labor is
employed There was considerable
discussion over the bill of Mr.-Thomp
son) c f Madison, to amend the act
! authorizing pensions to the confederate
w idows of the state. The law as it now
I stands provides that a woman to draw
tbe pens i 0 n must show that she is the
widow of a confederate soldier who
died from the effects of wounds receiv
ed during the war. The bill of Mr.
Thompson was to change this law so as
to allow any woman to draw a pension
hereafter if she proved that she was
the wife of a soldier during the war, and
that she was his wife at his death, pro¬
vided that his death was caused by
wounds received during the war.
There was much opposition to the bill
and it was lost upon the final vote,
only 63 voting for it and 25 against it.
The bill of Air. Walton of Stewart to
pay election managers and clerks was
passed by substitute. Mr. Walton’s
bill provided that- all election man¬
agers should bepaid *2.00 a day in gen¬
eral elections and in county elec¬
tions to .fill vacancies, and that all
clerks at county sites should be paid
*1.50 a day, and clerks serving olse
where should be paid *1.00 a day.
The committee to which the bill was
referred sent in n substitute for it that
all election managers and clerks shall
be paid for the services, the sum to be
Axed by the county commissioners,
The house passed this hill almost
unanimously,

A Washington special says: Secre¬
tary Carlisle Monday ordered the rev¬
enue cutters Morrill and Bo'utwell to
render all possible assistance to the
Red Cross Society in carrying sup¬
plies to residents of the various islands
along the South Carolina coast deso¬
lated by the great cyclone.
Secretary Gresham decided Monday
afternoon to make public all the cor¬
respondence and the report of James
H. Blount, the special commissioner
sent to Hawaii by President Cleveland
to investigate the, revolution which,
dethroned Queen Liliuokalani and the
establishment of the provisional gov¬
ernment.
President Cleveland and his family
left their country home on the Wood-'
ley road Thursday morning and aro
now located, at the white house for the
winter. It was thought that the Presi
dent would remain in the country
until about the time for .the meeting

there and able to give more uninterrupt¬

forth-coming message- to congress.

lii Favor at an In conn- Tax.
The income tax is to be favorably
recommended' to the committee on
ways and means by a subcommittee
having the matter in charge. This has
at last been definitely decided and the
subcommittee ou internal revenue will
make such a report at the first meeting
of the full democratic membership
Tho stage has been at last reached, and
is frankly conceded, where the whole
policy of the committee depends
on the question ot the income tax.
So far, the great difficulty ot the com
mittee has been to reduce the tariff
without creating a deficit m the treas
ury; and this embarrassing condition
has all along been the chief hope of
the income tax men. The protests
that have come up from every industry,
as the contemplated tariff reductions
have been announced, and the open
threats of the southern democrats who
have lodged such vigorous objections
to removing the bounty on sugar, and
adding coal, irou ore and rice to the
free list, have finally caused the in¬
come tax theory to lie given that seri¬
ous consideration that indicates its
final adoption.
The English Coast Storm.
Advices from London state that up
