Cameron offered a resolution, which was agreed to, appointing Mr Shermao chairman of the committee On foreign relations; Mr. Harrison, member of the same committee; Mr. Spooner, member of the committee on the District of Co lumbia; Mr; Stanford, member of the civil service' reform committee, and Mr. Mitchell of Oregon, member of the com mittee on additional accommodations for tbe library.' Mr. Piatt formally submitted his pro posed amendment to the resolution here tofore introduced by him in relation to the executive session amendment, re citing specifically the, Senate rule af fected by the resolution, Mr. Piatt's ob ject being to avoid the point of order on his resolution that it did not recite the rules which it proposed to amend. , , The amendment lies over under the rule, Mr. Piatt saying he hoped to ad dress the Senate on the subject-matter of the resolution Wednesday or Thurs day next. : The army bill was then placed before the Senate, the pending question being on Mr. Half's motion to strike out sec tion two, which provides that hereafter the army shall consist of 30,000 enlisted men. Mr. Plumb took the floor in op position to the bill. Mr. Frye made a queer Interruptiun. He said the Canadian fishery question ought to be settled and that this gov ernment should send ten armed vessels to the fishing grounds to protect our fishing veisels, inasmuch as the Canadian dvernmeni had forbidden American fishing vessels to enter Canadian ports for any purpose except the merest par poses of shelter. Mr. Morgan expressed his surpri that a discussion of the fishery question should be interjected into a discussion of the military bill. He supposed Mr. Frye. thought this a good opportunity to express his belligerent views.- The question involved, Mr. Morgan .said, was one of commerce and was capable of being handled without the interven tion of either an army or navy. , , Mr. Cockrell spolre in opposition to the army bill. He said 8,000,0W) to 10,000,000 volunteers could be pHtt in service. . Whenever the people of the States, with their own militia, aided by the President of the United States with the militia of other States, could not en force right And redress wrong in the sev eral states! then self-government would be a failure. - Mr. Cockrell asserted that greater fraternity of feeling existed in the United States today, from the lakes to the gulf and from- ocean to ocean, than had ever existed in lour history, and never had the sentiment of peace and good-will among ourf people been held in higher regard than it was held today. There might occasionally, he said, be some local turbulence, as there would be under all governments, but the public sentiment bf the country would suppress it, waul j ucueu ui ww way . of a: military organization was a small, compact organisation on the In dian border. Mr. Sewell said he fa vored the increase proposed by the bill,;! upon economic grounds. Mr. Logan again took the floor in reply to criticisms upon the bill.' At 4:40 the Senate went into executive session. At 6:30 the doors were re-opened and the Senate adjourned. Before adjourn ment Mr. Sewell gave notice that Mon day, lUth inst, he would call up the Fitx John Porter bill. . "i E0USI.

Mostoomxky, Ala., April 5. The board of revenue, of this county, in a communication to Governor O'Neill, stated that large numbers of people would have to be maintained for an in definite period and at public expense, and suggested that he memorialize Con- fress for such relief as may be needed, he Governor has replied that he thought local relief would meet the issue and did not believe tbe State of Alabama should ask alms of the government.

I he fllot'ii la Broken, However. itd Trains' fire Moving Freely ( Lat. St. Louis, Mo., April 5. It was gen erally believed yesterday that' .the freight blockade on this and the east side of tpe river would be raised and the resumption of traffic would be com pleted. There was but little interfer ence Saturday, with the running of freight trains from East St. Louis, and it was the expectation of the officials that they would be able to proceed with their regular business today, the same as though there had never been any trouble. Tbe, bridge and tunnel com pany announced yesterday that th- y would be ready to handle all business . given them. A joint notice, agreed upon at . a general meeting held Saturday, : giving the men until 1 o'clock today to return to work, evidently had the desired effect, as the superintendents were notified yesterday by many of their former employes that they Would be on hand today, ready foe; duty. President Touhey, of ; the transfer company, also received official notice from his employees that they would report for work in a body at the company's: stables this, morning. The striking Missouri Pacific Knights it is understood also intended to apply for positions to their former employers. At a very late hour last night the general executive committee formally revoked their order to the Knights - of Labor to return to work. This makes the outlook today less hope ful and the strike may not be so nearly ended as was thought. The Missouri Pacific has already employed a sufficient number of new men to carry on its business and the officials of that J in Keeping the road open and in spite of the re newal of the strike. ' In East St. Louis, however, the situation is different, for those who have ; already returned to work. ' as well as those who 5 an- nounoed their intention of returning tO- I day, are Knights of Labor, and are sub ject to kthe orders of the executive pom mittee: It is expected therefore : that those who have gone back to work' will today strike again and that the others will withdraw their- applications for their old positions when they receive official announcement of the committee's action. ; The Iron Mountain railroad Bent out five freight trains this morning and the Missouri Pacific an equal num ber, no; opposition being ottered by the strikers. The ' resumption of freight traffic on these roads may now be con sidered complete and the raising of the blockade on that branch permanent; 2 p; m. Larger crowds assembled this tnornitig around the relay depot in East Stii Louis than for several days past, but they were undemonstrative, perserved perfect order and ; of fered no opposition to the making up and Starting out of freight trains. The railways sent out lar,ge trains, loaded wih freight, no interference by the strikers being attempted. The t new ; switchmen and yardmen engaged since the strike began were actively engaged in making up trains to be sent out later in the day.

Ill auanlna; : Man Discovered In tbe WooSi near Kalelgb. ; i Thomas Ryan, a young white man 22 years of age, whose home was at No. 18 South Swain street, is added to the Jong list of suicides, lhe morning of lues day, March 23, he was seen in a bar- loom on South Wilmington street, where he exhibited a bottle which he said con tained laudanum and he then and there declared that he would take it contents and end his life. About 8 o'clock the 3am iiiorning he went to. the house of a white woman named W atkins, on .hast llargett street, at Camp Russell. He quarreled with this woman and before departing showed her the bottle' and again said he would swallow the lauda num and end bis life. . The home of Ryan's family on South Swain street is a small cottage. His father, John Ryan, is a stonecutter, and so is brother, Fat rick Ryan. His mother, quite -ad old woman, is of unsound mind and has U ice at least made threats of taking her life; Her sons Pat: and Tom were years ago, when small Doys, einpioyea at the farm of Father MoManiara, near Maj. Gatling's pond. There . was 1 11 r.tl a good aeai oi irouoie grow ing out of McNamara's control of the boys and his alleged harsh treatment of them. Both: boys were well known. Tom became j a moulder, and for four years or more had been ' employed at the shops of Allen & Cram, corner West Hargett and : Sf uth West streets. He had not been at work' for some days. He was a good workman, a steady young fellowordinarily. well liked by his fellow-workmen, and the police speak of him as a quiet and unobtru sive man. For five days before March 23 he had been out of work, and he was drinking March 22. TUS SEARCH FOR TUX MISSING.. After the disappearance of Ryan, as aforesaid, the noiice betran a search for , r o him. As he was last seen in cast Ral eigh the police naturally looked around Gatling'a pond for any traces of him They kept up the search for two or three days and all of the night alter . his dis- appearance, fat. xvyan r,ememoerea that his brother was not at work and that once before he had left "the city in search of employment. This caused him to believe that Tom had not committed suicide, but had left Raleigh. Tbe search was discontinued and this belief becoming .general, people ceased to think of th occurrence. But the man had carried out his threat of suicide. TBI VINDINO Of TUC DEAD. Sunday afternoon a negro boy about ( fifteen years , old, Willis Harrison by nau.e, employed by Mr. George Shellem, came to police headquarters and stated that he had found the body of a dead man in the pine woods east of Gat- ling's pond : and about three hundred yards southwest from Mr. Shellem s nouse. A reporter questioned Harrison, who said that as he was was walking I through the woods he saw some buzzards fly up from a clump of small pines and going thither, to see if any cattle; were dead, he found the body of a white man white man. I There was an instant suspi cion that this was Ryan's : body. At 6.15 p. m. Dr. James McKee, chief of police Heart, omcer Usborn and a re porter of the News and Observer, went to the scene, Driving past the national cemetery, the road, which leads to Mr. Shellem s and runs due east, was follow ed until the. woods were reached. These woods were entered. The outline of a road led through sombre pines standing rather thinly under a murky and lower ing sky. There is little undergrowth, save here and there little clumps of small pines The carriage stopped at a' cleared: space on the crest of a hill, fresh with bright j 8 8 green grass. The party alighted and went die east a hundred yards. There, in fifty yards of the fence which : is the eastern boundary of Mr. Shellem's field, was a place where the branches of little Dines, thickset, sweat auite low to the ground. There, were already a few pea Die present and two policemen on -duty Parting the branches of the little pines the body of a man was Been, LYING OH HIS FACE, on the soft straw which lay thick under the trees. The spot had been we): chosen by the suicide. No search or would have been apt to have looked foi him there, yet it was the most secluded spot in the woods, as nowhere else did the branches of the trees droop so near the ground. Officer Osborn as soon as he saw the body said: "That is Ryan. 1 would know him anywhere. Other fa vstanders also identified the remains The dead man wore an overcoat of rough tweed, light brown in color. Ilis trousers were dark, almost black. His hat,. a black slouch, lay near his head, onuli pine straw. He lay on his breast, hi hands thrown toward the head, the left: one partly under the face, the right one, with the fingers partially bent, a fdbf I ITOm tne iace. lue iace, oy reaaou p days and hights of rain and sunshine had become a blackish yellow, very hor rible to see. It was evident that de composition was far advanced. The body had not been touched by the bus tards which the boy Harrison had fright ened away. -THK DEADLY POISON. The identification being complete and all the evidence tending to make the - case surely one of suicide. Dr. McKee. the county physician, and ivr. : it Li, u:r r i t : ,i Members of the dead man's family that thev coui,j tKe the body. Dr. McKee made a search for the bottle, and in the right overcoat pocket found a two-ounce bottle of laudanum. The label on the bottle was as fresh and bright as if it had not been there long. Just half the eon tents of the bottle had been taken, evidently. The bottle had been restopped by Ryan and placed in his pocket. Presently he must have begun to grow sleepy from the effects of the norcono ana laueu over on his sides. Afterwards he had turned on his breast, placing his hands under his forehead. In that position, in that lonely ; place, under the odorous pine boughs and on a carpet of nature's own making, death came to him. ' ' , TilK LAST SERVICES. There were hundreds of visitors to the place by 9.30 o'clock, tor was. not until that hour that the body was placed in a coffin and taken away. By 7 Vcloek rain had begun to fall.f Ryan'i father and brother took charge of the remains. The poor mother was not-told of her son's terrible fate. Yesterday morning the body was buried in Oak wood, ceme tery. The pall-bearers were Messrs. H.- F. Hicks, George B. Fleming, Charles Mitchell, C.
