After the routine morning business in
the Senate todj, motion made by
Mr. Sawyer to proceed to the consider
ation of private; pension eases was agreed
to- and such bills were taken up in their
order on th calendar.
Mr. Cookrell insisted on having the
reports read in i number of cases, and
had some of the 'bills that he considered
erf doubtful propriety postponed. In a
short debate on one of the ibills cover
ing a ease that bad been rejected by the
pension ofiioe, ' Mr Cookrell said the
chief of tdiTisio& in that office who had
rejected bo plain and well proved a case
ought to bo discharged frem the service
of the United mates.
Mr. Gibson addressed the Senate on
the subject of Mr. Piatt's resolution re
garding open executive sessions, fie
reviewed broadly the historic phases of
the element of secrecy as ' a factor in the
fovernment from the time when the
agUsh parliament prohibited the pub
lication of its ' debates to . the present
tidie when the Un He'd States Senate dis
cusses , treaties :?with closed doors and
conducts secret inquisitions into the
character of pefsons nominated for of
fice. Mr. Gibson denied that any ne
cossity now exbied for the discussion of
treaties in secret. I No public interests
required that ,any of the proceedings
of the' Senate ahduld be keDt. secret
irom tne people. ; A secret session was
as much' out of place and date at this
time as the sword (hat John Adams wore
when presiding over the Senate would
be if worn by the present presiding ot-
hcer, Messrs. Teflrr, Hoar and Piatt
This was a question which p,ut oe con
sidered by the general government, in
response to the demands of the people
of thfj States, who had petitioned that
action should be taken.
Tae committee rose and the House at
5 o'clock adjourned. . ''
also fepoke briefly upon the same subject.
Mr. Morrill said he expected to speak
against open executive sessions, and en
quired when the matter f was to be dis
cussed. ' . Mr. Piatt said he would move
to take his resolution up immediately
after the disposal of the bankruptcy
bill.. The matter of executive f sessions
was here dropped and the Senate took
up the bankrupty bill. f
Mr. Plumb opposed the bill, as being
in the interest 1 the great cities and
against -the interest of small dealers
throughout the country.; He regarded
it as k most vicious bill. ; Mr Hoar de
fended the bill,. differing entirely with
Mr. Plumb aa to its effect, and contend
ing that it waa deoidodly in the interest
of small traders; many of whom without
auob a jbaskrnptoy law, if overtaken by
misfWtun4, must get through j life
panperg dragging at each remoya a
lengthening chain.
Afteraome farther debate the Senate
adjounied. ; . jf ' ' p ;

agreed: to. Among the amendment

Frye amendment. The speaker an
nounced the appointment of Messrs.
Blount, Biggs and Bingham as conferees
on the postoffice appropriation bill.
; Under th call of States bills were in
troduced and refem d as follows:
By Mr. Bland, of Mo, to revive the
income tax, the; proceeds to be applied
to the payment of pensions.
; By Sir. Bennett, of N. C, to divide
thejeufplus money in the treasury June
I, 1880, among the several States and
Territories, for, educational purposes.
' Mr. J Tucker l from the committee on
judiciary, reported a joint resolution
proposing a constitutional amendment
on the subject bf polygamy.
; The House went into committee of the
whole on general revenue bills.; The
first measure of this character on the
calendar was the Morrison taritr bill.
frhlchi was passed over without objec
tion, but a contest waa made, over set
ting siide the next revenue bill, which
was one to reduce the number of inter
nal revenue officers. The matter was
submitted to the House for its determi
nation, and that body having 1 ciuu J,
136 to 86, to pass over the iD ten. al reve
nue bill the committee resumed its Bes
session and the oleomargarine bill was
taken up. j:
; Ir. Scott, ipf Pennsylvania, approved
the bill, Bayidg some legislation of this
cbaraoter wasiabsolubely necessary if one
of the chief industries of the. country
wjis to be spared from the doom which
now threatened it. 2Br. Hopkins said
the manufacture of bogus butter was as
destructive to public morals as the
counterfeiting of money, and he hoped
that Congress would lay a heavy hand
on this greatest of all modern decep
tions. Mr. Keagan said that it was
very plain both from the language of
j I the bill and from the arguments made in
ita support mat me purpose of . the bill
waa not revenue, but exclusion. It waa
legislation in favor of the people who
made butter and against those who made
oleomargarine. He said it was a viola
tion of the constitution. (Mr. aStruble,
erf lOwa, suggested that the constitution
Had been violated by Democratic votes.)
Mr. Keagan admitted this fact and ex
pressed bis shame at having to admit it.
He did not pretend to excuse itr Re
publicans might be excused, because
they did not believe there was any con
stitution. (Laughter.) Mr. Huseock said

Chicaoo, May 24. The employees in
Nelsont Moriris & Co. 's establishment at
the stock yards protest against going to
work at 7 o'clock, preferring an hour
later. Friday evening the employees
joined i the Knights of Labor ' and
Saturday appointed; a committee which
waited on this superintendent and made
known the workmen's wishes. The su
perintendent told the committee
that he expected the men to
go to work whenever it was necessary
and that it Was impossible to llaochter
cattle in the! heat of the day. They
were working eight, hours ' and
would be paid for over-time. . ihe su
perintendent Baid yesterday thai:, the
company waa losing; money at the rate
of $4,500 a week under the new scale
of hours and wages, and if the old scale
was not resumed the house would be
closed. ' j ' -
The freight-handlers held a meeting
yesterday afternoon, with an attendance
of more than 500 men. ? A large num
ber joined the organisation. It waa
concluded that there was little prospect
of securing eight hours, all the roads
having obtained what men they needed
it ten hours. ' Resolutions were passed
to persist in endeavors to secure the
shorter day. ! . ; l; ;
Late Saturday night a meeting'ofsash,
door and blind manufacturers was held.
1 he subject i under ' discussion was the
present standard of; wages and whether
Chicago firms could maintain the. same
and compete with other cities. " The
whole matter was thoroughly discussed
and the conclusion reached that the old
scale of work and .wages would either
have to be returned to, or the mill
closed.;; Accordingly it was resolved to
make an effort today to go back to the
old system and, that failing, to ahuti
down altogether. This resolution waa
discussed at a meeting of xthe wood car
vers and maehine hands' union yester
day and a vote on the question called;
By this it was decided that should the
manufacturers endeavor to go back to
the old standard today -the entire force

Savannah, May 24. A bill in 'qity
waa filed in the United States circuit court
in Savajpnah today by James A. Strong
and James J. Goodwin, trustees for the
holder! of the Becond mortgage bonds
of the Macon & Brans wiek railroad
company, a'gainst the said road and the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
railroad company and the CentralTrust
company, of New ; York, for the ' fore
closure of a mortgage to recover $1,100,
000, principal, with interest since 1871.
The- Macon & Brunswick railroad is part
of the East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia railroad system, which is to be
sold May 25th at Knoxville, when the
Central Trust company was applying
for a
mort-
to the late Judge Baxter
decree of foreclosure of its
gage on the whole of the East Tennessee,
Virginia & Ueorgia aystem at Knox
villa. ' The trustees filed a cross-bill in
court,'' but judge Baxter decided! that
hig court had not jurisdiction, because
the Macon & Brunswick is in Georgia.
In granting tue decree to Bell tne ays4
tern he required- it to be sold subject to
.any prior lien, ; this one : included.
should it be decided a valid lien: Tbe
bill filed alleges that the seizure and
sale of the Macon & Brunswick road by
the governor of Georgia in 187D was
wholly: illegal and hence tho secon

from a trip across the ootftlSent. He was
appointed by the President one of the:
committee to examine and rt port upon
a completed section of forty miles, on the
Northern Pacific 11. R. Accompanied by
Mrs. Andrews he left here in April for
Washiugton and thence went to Chicago.
There ho met the other cinumissiotiers,
Col. T. W. White, oMlerjiando, Miss.,
who was accompanied by his daughter.
Miss Nellie White, and Mr. E. Prentiss
Bailey, editor of the Observer, Utica,
N. Y., who was accompanied by his wife.
The party devoted two days to looking at
Chicago, and left on the private car and
in charge of Gen. A. Anderson, chief
engineer of the Northern Pacific road.
They went to St. Paul, that wonderful
city, which with Minneapolis, is the
ride of the northwest.; But that
was a mere mile-post on their far wes
tern journey. On they sped, over
perfect track and through a
country which was ; really a natural
panorama, until in far-away Washington
Territory they reached Yakima, m the
Cascade 'mountains They found the
forty-mile section of n1 road to be in-
... .
spected xtended froi lakima to El-
nburg. It waa carotully examined
and found to be in excellentorder. All the
road is laid with 56-pound steel rail, and
the character of the work ia superb. All
the road is complete save a 200-mile gap
from Tacoma to Ellenburg. . They came
back to Pasco and thence by way of a
completed line went further west to Port
land, Oregon, thence . to Tacoma,; on
Puget sound, one of the loveliest sheets
of water in the world. Leaving Tacotia
by steamer they voyaged to Seattle.
There Col. Andrews found three North
Carolinians; one Mr. Albertson, of Elii
abeth City ; another Mr. Collins, of
Hillsboro, and the third Mr. De Wolfe
who was not long ago mayor of Charlotte.
The party left Seattle by steamer and went

On their return they stopped at Port-

land, uregon, a day, and thence came
home by the same route by which they
had made their way to the far-away-
shores of the Pacific ocean.
Col. Andrews' descriptions of the trip,
one of the most interesting ever taken
by a North Carolinian, are graphic. lie
saw all sorts of scenery in , going across
the continent; great stretches of prai
rie, with vast herds of horses and cattle
and sheep, barren . lands, mountains,
rivers and cascades He thought the
most beautiful views were those of Mt
Hood, Mt. Stl Helen's andMt. Tacomia,
all over 14,000 feet in height and with
their summits wrapped ; in perpetual
snow. The Rocky mountains were
crossed in Montana, t an el va
tion bf 6,000 feet, tl. grade being
116 feet to the mile (the Same as on the
Western N. C. road at the Swannanoa
gap.) The country out in that far wett
is settling up and evcty traiu carrus

journey or 3,4DU miles to JMienuurg
requires just seven days, traveling
ceaselessly, day and night, lhe total
length of their trip was rather over
8,000 miles. For over 400 miles they trav
eled beside that magnificent stream, the
Columbia river. They had delightful
weather for the trip. They saw; much
rsnow and in plaoes ran through
snow sheds and beside snow
fences. Between Portland, Ore
gon, and Pasco, they saw i sand
fences, to protect the track They saw
trees 300 feet high near Tacoma, Ptfget

Sr. Louis, May 24 In the Maxwell
trial (for the murder of Preller) today
pome sensational evidence was given by
a detective who under the direction
of the authorities, forged a check on an
eastern house and presented it at one of
the city banks, lie was arrteted and
placed in jail, being assigned a cell ad
joining that of Maxwell. He testified
that after his incarceration he intro
duced himself to Maxwell and worked
himself into his, confidence and about
ten days afterwards he became engaged
in conversation with Maxwell about the
murder case. During tbe conversation
the defendant told the witness that the
only point in his case about which
he I felt uncertain and uneasy was
thai concerning the , money, be said
that if he could only prove that he hai'
plenty of money when Preller came to
St. Louis he would no doubt have a
speedy acquittal. The itness offered
to fix that all right, but told the defen
dant that he must know all about tbe
case. or he could do nothing. Maxwell
made a free and full confession of all
the particulars of the case, beginning
his first acquaintance with Preller. On
shipboard hi noticed that Preller had
in his possession a large amount of
money They separated in Boston,
Preller going to Philadelphia and Max
well coming to St. Louis. The defen
dant in his confession said that the Fri
day night after Preller joined him in
this' city ' he told him (Maxwell)
that it would be impossible for' him to
pay the defendant's fare to Auckland,
New Zealand, whither they had ar
ranged to go to get bence. This, said
the defendant, lingered him greatly and
he determined to ' fix Preller for his
meanness.? Tho following night he
and Preller were sitting in the former's
room, when the latter complained of se
vere; pains in his side. Maxwell said
ObJ I can fix that all right. I nave
treated such cases before." He in
jected hypodermicxlly into his friend's
arm a sufficient amount of morphine to
render him unconscious. After he bad
been in this condition for some time he
bound a cloth completely saturated with
chloroform ever his friend's head, and
this; he confessed to the witness, "end
ed the- business." He secured all of
Prellcr's money, about $6,800, besides
mosi cf his valuable personal effects and
planned his escape, the details of which
are so well known. :

Kai.kigu, May 22.
In looking - through j the editorial
notes in your issue of this morning
always a pleasant and piquant Bauce to
my breakfast I saw what you said in
a semi-jocose way about the rush to the
gold fields of Honduras. It was all
very well from your Standpoint, but
from mine it is too weighty a subject
for flippant comment. That gold exists
in Honduras in large deposits is beyond
question. ine taci was provea witnia
the century that Columbus discovered
America, and many of the Spanish ex
plorers who followed where that bold
navigator led" ; found it, were made
rich ; by it, - and their descend
ants are the Spanish-speaking people
of which the ruling race of that republic
is composed. In the mountains of Hon
duras are hundreds of mines that were
worked by those adventurers after the
rude processes then in togue, and from
which fabulous wealth was extracted.
Why their descendants did not continue
the pursuit of gold and exhaust these
natural treasure-houses heed not be ex
plained, for the history of that and of
other countries conquered by the Span
iards tells the story. One believing in
that All-Wise Providence who rules
the world will ascribe their failure to
the same Divine plan that kept the gold
and silver of the ; Pacific slope
hidden from man's! notice until
they were needed j to advance
His great designs. But be this as it
may, these ancient prospectors enriched
themselves and then ceased from their
labors. The mines in which the native
Indians toiled under their stern task
masters were abandoned, and Honduras;
and what are now her sister republics of
Central America, ceased to be num
bered among the gold producing sections
of the globe. Meanwhile there grew
up in North America a nation unlike

providential plan, a part of its duty to
discover and develop the natural
ealth' of the continent it overran.
In the course of years the
small settlements that fringed
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts ' spread
throughout the interior and steadily
pushed westward toward the great
mountain chain that is the baexbene ot
this continent. Then in 1849, after two
centuries of progress, the gold of Cali
fornia was discovered and the world's
hardiest and pluokiest ben hurried to
the Pacino coast and began those pioneer
settlements that have ; since extended
eastward until the civilization of both
oceans has met and blended into one.
For thirty years after the first discov
ery of gold the Pacifio coast States 'and
Territories were the scenes of i mining
fevers such as were never before known.
Every new mineral; field created
ja fever among the prospectors. ' Ore
gon, Washington Territory, and British
Columbia, all in their turn, started
these epidemics, and when , their force
was spent, all retained a considerable
population, brought there while the ex
citement lasted. Then came the dis
covery of the gold fields of Australia,
and the consequent rush from tbe civil
ised world. Later, the diamond mines
of South Africa drew to that remote
region an immense immigration. As
it was in the United States, so in those
distant countries, civil institutions fol
lowed close after the adventurous
miners, and were established on-endur

cured the necessary i rights from the
Hondurean government and began
work. Their most sanguine expecta

story of their successes reached home
and other miners followed them. Then
capitalists from Colorado and Illinois

their recommendations acquired mining

Imboden, ung one of the active spirits
at Dahlonega, Georgia, heard

stories have been told in every Western
mining camp, and a steady tide of men
is pouring from them into Honduras.
