Mr. Reasran
Mr. Culloin: Then it should go to
the committee on inter-State com
merce, which has had a like bill al
ready referred to it the one intro
duced by Mr. Spooner.
, Mr. Reagan; The post-office com
mittee has had several bills before it
for the establishment of a postal tele
graph, and In lieu of any of them
thought it lest to report the bill regu
lating the telegraph system of the
country. jTwo committees might
trell have simultaneous jurisdiction
of the subject, but it would be hardly
just to the I post-office cpjnmittee to
refuse to coinsider the bill which it
has reported
Mr. Piatt argued that the bill re
ported by Mr. Reagan should be re
ferred to the inter-State committee.
He wbuld feel anxious either to have
that committee, of which he was a
member, discharged from further
consideration of the subject or to let
it have its untrammelled and unem
barrassed consideration. He pre
sumed the bill reported was not a
bill in the interest of the postal ser
vice, but in the interest of commerce.
Mr. Beck thought it hardly
the fair thing to take the control of
the bill from the poBtoffioe committee
and give it to the inter-State com
merce committee. The Senate
Ought certainly to have had a chance
to see the bill on the calendar, and
then if the Senate thought it should
be sent to the committee on inter
State commerce that might be done
hereafter. iThe discussion was fur
ther continued by Senators Oullom,
Ghaee, Blair, Reagan, Salisbury, Hoar
and Gorman.
Mr; Reagan said that the postoffice
committee,: in order to avoid a danger
ous experiment, had preferred to re
port the bill regulating telegraphic
transmission of news. The purport
Of the bill was to provide means of
regulating the rates for the transmis
sion of intelligence. The object
of the committee had been to frame
4 bill that would not do injustice to
the telegraph companies, but would
leave them secure in their rights,
Shile at the same time it would secure
le people against improper discrimi
nation and unjust charges.
Mr. liorman expressed his
regret that the post-office com
paittee had not confined itself to the
subject referred to it that of estab-
l- V-J 11 J-l t l
jisning a postal teiegrapn system.
The rapid transmission of intelligence
was how in the hands of a single cor
poration which had wiped out all
competition heretofore attempted,
and yet that great question referred
to the poBt-omce committee had been
set aside land the bill to regulate
telegraphy (with which the post
office committee had nothing to do)
substituted for it. The post-office
committee had gone beyond anything
referred to it, and he therefore hoped
that the bill would be sent to the
committee on inter-State commerce.
Mr. Oullom consented to withdraw
his motion to refer the bill to the
committee: on inter-State commerce
and to have the bill and the reports
laid on the table at present.
The Senate passed the House con
current resolution directing the Sec
retary oil the .Navy to aesignate a
national vessel of war to convey the
remains of ex-President Paez of Vene
zuela, from the port of New York to
the port i of LaGuayra, and it was
passed. I
Mr. (Jolauitt crave notice that he
would on Thursday next submit re
marks on the motion to refer the
President's message.
The utihnished business (pension
bills) was laid aside and the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill was taken
up for consideration. A great many
amendments recommended by the
Senate committee on appropriations
were agreed to, nearly as many strik
ing items from the bill as adding to
it, but a majority of them involving
small amounts. The amendment to
strike out the following paragraph
"And the public printer is hereby
directed to rigidly enlorce the pro
visions of the eight hour law in the
department under bis (the public
printer s) charge, having been reach
ed, Mr. Hoar inquired of Mr. Hale
why the committee had recommended
the striking out of those lines
Mr. Hale replied that in the first
place the committee had no know!
edge that the eight hour law was not
enforced in the department of pub
lie printing. There were persons em
ployea there worKing by me piece
who desired to work more than eight
hours; who preferred to work twelve
hours, unu the adoption oi the item
might bo construed to make these
iiu n stop work at the end of eight
hour. :TLo feiialt of (hat might hs
to ; compel good workinguien to
btop work after eight hours and to
allow new and untried greon bunds
to be brought in the office-- In; fact,
it had been said that the object at the
provision was to introduce 150 new
untried wen in the public printing
office. I
Arguments agaiiibt btriking out
the provision were made by Messrs.
TTnor TUar and Tilnir. the former
ttrtifpp'g ttrat to strike It 6tft would be
an indication that the Senate was in
different to the subject or that it did
not favor the eight hour law.
Mr.; Reagan argued that the com
mittee on appropriations was right
in recommending the provision to be
struck out. If it meant r anything it
meant that the public printer should
suspend all work at the end of eight
hours each day. If he did so a large
number of employees would have to
suspend work to their own great in
jury and to the injury of the
survice. f This was one of
those extraordinary things which
Congress ;was liable to do under a
sort of pressuro which could not be,
it seemed, resisted in either branch
of Congress.
Mr. .Lvaus said he was not dispos
ed to prevent the insertion of the
clause if the Senate desired it. He
only wished to know or what grounds
the Senate desired it. It did not be
long to Congress, he sf id.
Mr. Hawley said that having been
absent during most of the discus
sion he would like to have it dis
tinctly understood that the nuroose
of the provision was to forbid a man
working mthe publio printing office
to work more than eight hours a day.
He had been for Keren years a mem
ber of the committee on printing and
to the best of his recollection, he had
never heard one solitary word of com
plaint from any one employed in the
printing Office concerning the en
forcement or non-enforcement of the
eight hour law. If tbo provision had
any meaning whatever it was an at
tempt to forbid a man to work more
than eight hours, and therefore in
behalf of the workingmen he pro
tested against it. It seemed to him a
piece of demagogism and nothing
else. It was an interference with the
natural rights of the workingman
and workingmen - who advocated
Buch a proposition were unwittingly
advancing themselves to a condition
of slavery.
Mr. Hoar objected to the sugges
tion of demagogism.
Mr. Hawley: l did not know that
the Senator from Massachusetts had
anything to do with it. It struck me
that it was an effort of demagogism
and I repeat that remark.
After further discussion by Messrs
Hoar, Hawley, Stewart, Hale, Allison
and.Reagan, without taking a vote,
the senate proceeded to the consider
ation of executive business and at
5-25 adjourned.
HOUSE
Orders were entered assigning the
22d and 24th of March for the con
sideration of measures reported by
the committee on the judiciary, and
the 27th and 28th of March for the
consideration of business called up
by the committee on commerce.
Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, from
the committee on printing, reported
back ! the resolution directing that
committee to inquire whether the
scale of prices in vogue in the gov
ernment printing office prior to Jan
uary 1, 1877, should not be re-established.
Adopted.
Under the call of States the follow
ing bills and resolutions wore intro
duced ana referred :
j Mr. White, of Indiana, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions:
Whirkas, There has been ii augu
rated a great strike on the C. B. & Q.
R. R. Co., which, if not speedily
checked, will end in widespread des
titution! and suffering, not only by
those immediately engaged in
it but to others who are not di
rectly connected therewith yet never
theless are greatly affected by the
prolonged strike and the continuance
of said strike,
Retolvtd, That a special committee
of five members be appointed by the
speaker to proceed at once to Chicago
and there investigate the condition of
affairs in relation to said strike, and
that they be empowered and request
ed to act as mediators between the O.
St Q. Railroad Company and Chief
Arthur and bring about a settlement
of tbo pending troubles and differ
ences which will be: amicable and
agreeable to both parties, so that the
strike will terminate.

to anticipate the payment or the in
terest on the bonded debt and to pro-
vde for a special deposit of the public
money.
The House then took up theMcDuf
fie-Davidson Alabama contested elec
tion case.
Mr. Maish, of Pennsylvania, opened
the case for the oontestee, and deny-1
ing the statement made in the mi-
nority report that the case involved
no legal question, proceeded to dis-
cubs the legal bearings of the contest
as well as the facts elicited in the tes
timony, which he contended were ut
terly msnmcient to prove the allega
tions of fraud made by the contest
ant. The committee had given a fair
and thorough consideration to the
case, and the majority had come to the
conclusion that the contestee (David
son) had a clear majority over McDuf
fie of 8,890 votes.
Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina,
followed with a brief speech on the
same side.
Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, said
the case illustrated the advance of
civilization in the fourth Alabama
district. Instead of resorting to the
jack-boot and sabre policy, the Dem
ocrats had resorted to fraud upon
the ballot box in order to overcome
the Republican majority. There was
evidence oi general iraud through
out the district, while the poll lists
of Selma precinct showed that
the "sheeted dead" were made to vote
Of course they voted the Democratic
ticket.;; He reviewed in detail the
testimony taken in regard to the votes
given at the various precincts to sub
stantiate the charge of fraud, which
he declared was found to exist
wherever it was probod for. For the
good riame of Congress and in the
name of honest elec ions, he believed
the House should reject the sitting!
member and seat tne contestant.
Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, conjjratu
lated the Republicans as to the prog.
lew iney nsu zxntuB m leva
as to what should be done with the
negro vote. Heretofore they had
been satisfied to assume and declare
that the negro vote belorged to the
Republican candidates, but here they
advanced a step farther and asserted
that the negro vote must be cast for
the Republican candidate, "but not for
the colored Ropublican. He referred
to thJ fact ' that the minority report
complained that while Turner
(the colored Independent Republican
candidate) did not receive 100 votes,
the returns had given him 2,519 votes.
He then proceeded to speak in sup
port of the majority report.
Mr. Rowell, of Illinois, briefly ad
vocated the minority report, and then
the case went over till tomorrow.
Adjourned.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Cincinnati, Mar. 5. A special from
Somerset, Ky., says: A frightful col
lision occurred on the Cincinnati,
New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railroad
at Pine Knot, Kv.. about 3 o'clock
yesterday evening, which resulted in
tne Killing oi one man, the iatai inju
ry Of another and the Berious wound
ing Of others, besides considerable
damage to the railroad. The killed
and injured are: Fireman John Adams,
of Lexington, Va., killed outright,
body still under the cars; Sol Per
kins, tramp, "iDjured internally, will
die; Conductor Green, of this place,
badly bruised about the face; Engin
eer L. B. Murray, leg broken; brake
man Jas. Gogs, hip-joint dislocated;
brakeman Wm. Jones, leg fractured.
The blame is placed on Conductor
Taylor and Engineer Murray, of the
freight, who, it seems, attempted to
run to Pino Knot ahead of time. Con
ductor Green had orders to run to
State Line on freight No. 15, regard
less of No. 20. When No. 20 was in
a mile of Pine Knot, Green'B train
dashed from beyoud the curve and
went crashing into him before the
men of either train had time to jump.
The engines were shattered into frag
ments. Ten cars toppled over the
embankment and wero shattered
into splinters.
Drs. Warren and George of this
place, were wired for and went down
on a wrecking train to relieve the
wounded.
Taylor is a new man and came here
highly recommended. Green is from
this place, and is one of the best con
ductors on the road. Green had or
ders to run to State Line and Taylor
tried to make Pine Knot on five min
utes time and the above frightful ca
tastrophe was the result.
This is the second accident that has
occurred at that place since the road
was constructed- Trains will be de
layed until about noon today.
The killed will be brought here
some time today.

Fian.u- Night, March 2, 1888,
The tariff hill, whJc'i b:.n been pre
pared by the majority rf the Com
mittee of Ways and Means of the
lower house of Congress is mado
public, and will soon be formally pre
sented for debate , and action. A
strike on the Chic. B. & Q. road is in
operation, throwing Several thousand
men out of employment. The
weather has been spring-like, general
trade making good progress; but
speculation has dragged slightly,
most of the speculative staples show
ing little change in values. A. num
ber of destructive fires have occurred
in this city during the past week.
The market for lard on the spot
has reflected a steady movement,
without conspicuous feature. Today,
at somewhat easier prices, there was
more doing, closing 7 75o for prime
city, 8.02Ja8 07ic foi prime to choice
Western, 7. 90c for refined to the Con
tinent and 8.75o for South America.
The speculation in lard for future de
livery has also been comparatively
featureless, yet has latterly made
some show of strength in sympathy
with the better market for corn. To
day the opening was strong, but freer
offerings caused a slight decliue.
Coffee on the spot has been com
paratively dull, and prices have fur
ther declined, closing unsettled and
nominai even at the decline; fair car
goes of Rio are quoted today at 14a
14c, with nothing of moment done.
The speculation in Rio options has
been comparatively slow, at fluctu
ating values.
Raw sugam show somo further im
provement in values, the demand
having continued active; fair refining
Cuba is quoted at 4c and centrifugal
96 degrees test 5 9-16, regular, and
3 3-16a3c c. and f. The sales in
cluded a cargo of superior Manila at
4 1-lGo. Molasses is firmer at 21c
for 50 deg. test, at which two cargoes
sold. The tea sale on Wednesday
went off at rather easier prices for
Oolongs and greens.
The speculation in cotton for future
delivery at this market opened
stronger on the successful manner
in which it was reported the options
for March delivery had been disposed
of. But on Monday the Liverpool
report disappointed our bull party,
and the opening was weak; but there
was a quick rally, on the early report
from New Orleans putting receipts at
that port for the day only about one
fifth as large as for the correspond
ing date last. year. This advance was
soon lost, however, under increased
receipts at interior towns, and the
close was at the lowest figures
of the day prices continuing
to give way on Tuesday under fuller
receipts at the ports. The market
was unsettled for the next two days,
the reduced receipts at the ports
proving an dement of strength which
overcame some other adverse influ
ences, till near the dose of last even
ing, when (the lull interior receipts
(of which the arrivals at the ports
exceeding estimates) caused a sharp

aeenne. xoaay lue opening was
weak, in sympathy with the depres
sion in the Liverpool market, and in
the later dealings became almost

much space. So I give the choice of
the majority, for the respective offices:
For Governor, Hon. D. G. Fowle;
Lieutenant-Governor, Capt. S. B.
Alexander; Secretary of State, Hon.
W. L. Saudert ; Auditor, Senator
Duncan E. M elver; Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Prof. Alexan
der Graham, of Charlotte.
As to the remainder of the State
ticket there seems to de no prefer
ence. Of about forty gentlemen who
were interviewed, all favored Prof.
Graham for Superintendent of Publio
Instruction: A large majority for
Supreme Court Judges favor J. J.
Davis, the present incumbent, Judge
snepnerd and Judge Avery.
I give the above for what it . is
worth; and I think that the voice of
the old Cape Fear means something.
