Va8iiington, D. C, March 5. Ssn
ATM. a he Senate, atter some uDimpor-.
tattt preliminary business, took up the
education bill amendment offered by
Mr. Logan, which was agreed to, pro
viding; that the "secretary of the infe
rior is chanred with a croner admihls-
tration of the law through the commis
sioner oi education, ana tnose two on
cers are authorised with the approval of
the President to make all the needful
rules and : regulations not : inconsistent
with the provisions of the bill to carry
out these provisions." Mr, Logan said
his: object was to establish a sort jof
board, instead of leaving questions
arising; under the bill entirely to the
secretary of the interior. Other amend
ments were agreed to, requiring from
estate officers yearly reports of teachers'
salaries', the number of school districts,
the relative numbers, of white and-colored
children; substituting the census of
1890 si a basis of apportionment, after
that census shall have been taken; pro
viding that if any State should decline
or relinquish its quota of moneys under
the bill, the amount bo declined or re-
linlui8hed hould go to
increase
quota of the States accepting; requiring
the' secretary, of the interior to investi
gate complaints of unjust discrimina
tions iri the application of funds and in- 1
eluding the district of Columbia in the
bill A number of amendments, look
ing to a regulation of the studies in the
schools aided by this bill, were rejected.
Mr. :Plumb offered an amendment,
providing that no State should be enti
tled to any of this educational fund lyitil
it shall have filed with the secretary of
the' interior a sample of each school
book in use in its common schools..
After considerable debate, Mr. Plumb's
amendment was rejected as a whole, but
on his renewing part . of the amendment
requiring that samples of the school
books tie filed in the interior department
(without making the State's title to the
money depend on such filing) it .was
agreed to. Other amendments of detail
were made on motions of Messrs. Ed
munds,; Evaits, Hale, Dolph, Blair,; In-
galls, Teller;'' Eustis; Logan, Hampton
and Conger. The bill having thus been
perfected as in committee of the whole,
was reported to the Senate, and most of
the amendments made in oommittee of
the whole were agreed : to. On. motion
of Mr. George the section setting forth
thai ' the design of the act was ntlfrto
establish an independent school
ystem j in the States, but only to
extend aid to the State go vernment; was
restored by a unanimous vote. Mr.
Plumb iread some articles from theNew
York Bvening' Post to show that since
the agitatiod of the question of national
aid .the States of the South had not put
forth their usual efforts for education.
The bill was read the third time and
passed; , yeas 36, nays 11. A number
of i pairs were announced,' owing to the
neeessary absence of some Senators.
The vote in detail is as follows : , Yeas,
Messrs. Berry, Blackburn, Blair.Bowen,
Call. Colquitt, Conger, Cullom, Uolph,

Immediately on the passage of the
bill, Mr. Edmunds moved to take up
the resolutions reported by him from
the judiciary committee, expressing the
sense of the Senate on the refusal of the
attorney general to send to the Senate
copies of papers called for by its reso-
lution of January ZD, lo, (tnoxruskin

After the call of committees for re
ports of a private nature, the House
went into committee of the whole Mr.
MeCreary, of Kentucky, in the chair on
the urgent deficiency bilU
,b lr. lurns, oi Missouri, took up and
explained the provisions of the bill.
The total amount carried by the bill
was $63 4,452; the largest item was one
of 2251,863 for the armament of tour
cruisers. ine ueoate on wis item
tiirned upon the alleged violation of law
by bureau officers in creating obligations
in advance of an appropriation and
the transfer of moneys assigned to one
purpose and using them for another,
thus creating deficiencies where pro
vision had been made for i payment.
The debate on this litem and its collat
eral subjects occupied a large part of
today's session. At its ; close Mr. Mo
Adoo, of New Jersey, promised that the
committee on naval affairs would frame
ameasure to put a stop to the practice
on the part of government! officials of
entering into obligation not authorised
by law. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, said
that he would enter his protest against
the practioe by votinir aeainst the bill.

THI COUHTT COMMISSIONERS OEOSA A VOTX
TO BS TAKIN THEREON.
At this meeting of the board of Wake
county commissioners there was a matter
4f special importance considered. This
WM tne question oi tne oraering oi an
flection in rvaieigu buwusuip on tne
question of "liquor" or "no liquor."
The law on the subject Bays that upon
petition of one-fourth of the registered
voters of a township, the commissioners
shall order an election upon the question
The work of securing signatures to the
petitions here was very quietly done,
The city was not, it is stated, thoroughly
canvassed. Tuesday the promoters of
the prohibition movement presented the
board with two lists, one signed by
white, the other by colored voters
These two bore 904 signatures, of which
481 were colored and 424 white. Sub
sequently there were filed supplemental
lists, containing zvv signatures, bring
ing the total up to l,llo. It was found
that there are 3,327 registered voters in
Raleigh township, o that the necessary
fourth would be 832.
Wednesday afteruoon the board be
gan the work of comparing the names of
the signers ot petitions witn tne names
of voters as contained m tne registration
books. It was a task involving much
labor and trouble. In all 228 names on
the lists; were rejected, by reason of the
fact that they were not found on the
registration books. This reduced the
total of i petitioners to 885, or 53 more
than the necessary fourth of the regis
tered vote.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock
the board completed its task and ordered
the election to be held the first Monday
in June, the time set by law. The re
quirements of the law were in all re
spects observed aud the board exercised
the utmost care in all the matter.
The campaign will now begin in earn'
eat. no doubt. The white and colored
advocates of prohibition are not demon
strative. but they claim that they will
carry the township. What steps will
be taken by their opponents has not yet
been ascertained. The oonU st is sure
to be warm and interesting and doubt
less the public will have food for con
TtrtatioD fcr the next three months.

Njcw York,; March 5. The grand
"tie-up" of all the surface lines of the
city, ordered by the executive board of
the Umpire protective association, took
place this morning. At 4. 02 o'clock
the first car for the day on the Sixth
avenue road should have left the depot
at 431 Ktreet. The car did not do so
and as the night men arrived with their
cars they ran them into the stables
The men stood around, quietly laughing
and chatting in the best of humor and
did not attempt to resort to any violence.
The last car left the Broadway railway
depot at 3.50 o'clock-. The next one to
arrive entered the depot and did not
come out again. The men were very
quiet. Thjey did not intend to "tie up"
until 4.50 a. m., but as agents from the
Km pi re protective associations arrived
and ordered the men to leave they did
so on the instant.
They assembled in orderly gangs and
prepared to march to their hall, on West
&3d street, where they will remain dur
ing the day. When car No. 204, of
the Third avenue Ike reached the depot
at 05th street, at 4:20 o'clock, the driver
turned from the main track into the sta
bles and unhitched his horses. Every
car that arrived subsequently did the
same. There was not the slightest ex
citement or noise. At 4:45 o'clock
there were only fifteen men about the
depot. They all belonged to the night
force, for the day men simplified matters
by not reporting for duty. President
Lamb, of the company was immediately
notified, but he decided not to do any
thing until he calls the directors- to
gether during the day, when it will be
decided whether it will be worth while
to make an effort to : run the cars. A
few pelicemen were sent over from the
59th streegt station but their, services
were not needed, for everything was
quiet. r
It was said at police headquarters
that the presidents of the car companies
were holding, a meeting this morning,
and that it was the general opinion that
they will advise Richardson and the
directors of the Dry Dock, East Broad
way and Battery railroad company, to
accede to the demands of the men. Chair
man "O'Donnell, of the strikers commit
tee was in Brooklyn. The local com
mittee here, it was Bald, will not order
the "tie-up" to be loosened ;un til they
hear from O'Donnell tLat the demands of
tho men on Richardson's Brooklyn roads
have also been granted. At 4:30 a. m. the
cars in Brooklyn were all running on
schedule time, except the Atlantic
avenue line, which went out Wednesday.
There was no trouble at any place in
the city, the strikers ( having dispersed.
At 5:30 every line in the city had tied-up
At 10.30 no disturbance had been re
ported to the police. Not a car was
.running and the city appears as if dead.
Mo thing like it has been witnessed Binee
the worst days of the epizootic, a'doien
ye.trs ago. in .Brooklyn seven, roads
operated by the Atlantic avenue rail
road company tied up but no violence is
reported." The New York police is
thoroughly organised and confident of
its ability to repress promptly any dis
position to riot or disorder. ?ery man

club'waa ordered on dutv durine the
night, and 1,500 men can today be con
centrated at a moment s notice at anv
point where danger may threaten. Head
quarters looks like an enormous bivouac
of uniformed men; held in readi
ness to answer calls : from any quarter.
squaus oi u or policemen were
dispatched early to guard all the rail
road depots and stables. Mounted men
patrol Grand street and the route ef the
Dry Dock road from end to end, to keep
the route clear in ; the event of an at
tempt being made to run a car over the
road, as was done yesterday to save the
company's charter. Superintendent
Murray is determined to suppress a rep
etition of yesterday's scenes. No trou
ble, however, is apprehended. The
strikers preserve an attitude of quiet
leterniination, awaiting the result of the
confercnOe no being held between the
executive oommittee of the Empire as
sociation and railroad , commissioner
O'Donnell, who arrived' from Albany
this morning, in answer to a dispatch
demanding his presence. - It will be fol
lowed by a meeting between the com
missioner and representatives of the
railroads that will decide the line of
future action.
Railroad commissioner O'Donnell,
after his consultation with the executive
oommittee of the Empire association.
took a cab and went over to Brooklyn.
where he met President Richardson, of
the Atlantic, avenue line, together with
the directors. A proposition was sub
mitted to the commissioner, contained in
the following resolution, and directed to
Joseph O'Donnell, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee Of the Empire Mutual
Protective Association :
" Resolved, That the Atlantic Avenue
j iV 11 Ml

men at the rate of ' two dollars per day
for twelve hours as a day s work for con
ductors and drivers, including half an
hour allowed for dinner, and after our
ears are running to submit all questions
of differences between employers and
employees to commissioner O Donnell

President.
On receiving this document, commis
sioner O'Donnell at once returned to
New York and went to Central Labor
U&iOB halloa East 8th street, where the
executive committee was in session. He
submitted the proposition to them and it
was accepted promptly. '
Delegates from the different roads
were started at once to notify the men to
be ready to to start the cars at 2 p, m.
.Down stairs, in the large hall, the
strikers' were in session. The terms of
the agreements were announced amid
a breathless hush in the room. When
finished there was a deep breath of relief.
A man threw his hat up and a yell broke
out which shook, the building. The meet
ing broke up and the men started for
work. Jos. O Donnell, of the strikers
committee, said to a reporter: "All the
surface roads will start at 2 p. m. The
proposition from Richardson was :. ac
cepted. Commissioner O'Donnell will
be arbitrator and We approve the choice.
It is a great victory for us."

A Car on the Fourth avenue surface
road was the first to reach the city hall
after travel was resumed. It reached
theBtand at 2:20 o'clock and was cover
ed with new brooms. Patrick J. Walsh,
who ordered the Broadway cars to "tie
up" yesterday, was arraigned in court
today and fined $10, which he paid. A
number of strikers who had been ar
rested yesterday for acting in the streets
in a disorderly manner were up in court
today. Some of them were fined and
some were discharged for lack of evi
dence. Tb Capital Club.
Editor or tux Nxws and Observer: A
few words more in reference to the Capi
tal club. "A member of the club"
labors hard in your issue of yesterday
to break the force of my article in re
ply to him, but every intelligent reader
can see that he utterly fails to show
wherein the club has been misrepresent
ed. He simply says so, but does not
prove it, and I can not retract what I
have said until he shows it to be in
correct. He brings in side issues, writes
well and dodges nicely. He defends the
club about as well as it could be done
and he writes in a good spirit. : His
talent is worthy of a better cause.
The burden of his argument seems to
be that the club is composed of "an
hundred respectable gentlemen" and,
therefore, is beyond the pale of criti
cism, notwithstanding the tact that it is
an incorporated body. He says, in
substance : we are respectable gentle
men, some of the best in the community,
and you must not eriticise any thing we
do ! The Knights of Labor, Masonic
order, the Odd Fellows, the Knights of
Honor, all these may be criticised, aye,
even the Church of Uod is not exempt,
but'you must not eay anything against
the Capital club ! No, gentlemen, you
can't brow-beat the moral sentiment of
the people with such chaff as that. : But
he is coming over by degrees. He first
admitted that one could get "wine aud
stronger drink," and after the by-law
is published he does modify his state
ment alout "treating," and he actually
says the "drinking feature" is "a some
what troublesome problem." If he
writes a few more articles he may come
"clean over" to my Bide.
But enough. I thank him for his
kind allusions to me personally. If I
knew him, I might reciprocate them. I
thank him for his complimentary men
tion of a portion of my article, which I
appreciate. Assuring my unknown
friend that I have no unkind thought
or feeling toward him, or any member
of .his club, and being perfectly willing
that the verdict of the public may de
cide as to the merits of the issue between
us, so far as I am concerned, "the jury
csn now take the case."
Yours truly, F. L. Rim.

New York, March 5. C. L. Greene
&, Co. 's; report on cotton futures says:
With higher Liverpool for a starter the
market made a further .gain of 17 to 18
points and then a reaction set in, this
market closing weak, 10 points under
last evening. Business has been re
markably large and a vast deal of new
interest is no w in the market, creating ex
citement and perplexity, but the general
indications are that the "long" side
wants to secure the accrued profits and
will be: aided by powerful operators,
recently free sellers. The natural in
fluences as to the Wants of spinners and
the movement of supplies have . not
changed materially, though interior
stocks show somewhat fuller than ex
pected, if anything.
