The railroad land grant forfeiture bill waa then taken np, tbe question being on Mr. Call's . motion to recon sider the rote by which the bill was passed. There seemed to be some question as to the amendment of fered yesterday by Mr. George and agreed to whether it effected the pur pose which he intended the protec tion of the rights of homestead and preemption claimants. Mr. Spooner explained the difficulty and faTored reconsideration;- of the vote so as to hare tbt matter cor rected, but Mr. Plumb mored to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. This latter motion was disagreed to yeas 23, nays 34, 4 The rote pass ing, the bill was then reconsidered and the bill again brought before the Senate. Tbe necessary amendment to pro tect o pre-emption and homestead claimants was then offered by Mr. Spooner and agreed to. Mr. Call offered an amendment con ferring titles of purchasers of cer tain railroad lands in Florida, lying vliacent to parts of railroad Hues constructed within the time limited in the granting act. Mr. George explained that there were doubts entertained by the courts and lawyers of ; Florida whether when the entire line of railroad was not constructed within tb.9 time limited or was not construct ed at all, the lands along the com pleted parts were not forfeited. The object of the amendment Was to re move that doubt. Mr. Plumb moved to amend the amendment by adding the proviso that a mortgage or pledge of land by any railroad company should be con considered as a sale. Mr. Call accepted the proviso, and his Call's) amendment was agreed to nd the bill passed. Mr. Allison, from the committee on appropriations reported back the pension appropriation bill, and the bill making the appropriuon- to ena ble the executive departments to par ticipate in the Centennial Exposition of the Ohio valley and central States in Cincinnati from July to Oct.- 1888, and gave notice that he would ask 4he ,Senate to consider those bills next Monday. Upon the motion of Mr.. Sherman the Senate 'proceeded to the consideration of the Hoar resolu tion "providing lot the pesence of an official reporter daring the discussion of the fiisiieries trey ty, and on motion of Mr. Edmunds, seconded by Mr. Hoar, the galleries were cleared and the doors .closed, ! the Senate being in secret legislative session.

Mr. Call introduced a. bill to with draw all the public lands in Florida from the entry except under pre-emption and homestead laws. Referred. The Conference report on the House bill authorizing the President of the United States to arrange the confer ence! for the purpose of promoting arbitration and riciprocal commercial relations with Central 'and South American States, Mexico and Brazil was presented and agreed to.

Brazil. Adopted. The explanatory report of the House conferees states that the only lm portent change in the resolution is that ten delegates on behalf of tho' United States shall be appoint ed, by the President. In the resolution as it passed originally the President of - the Senate and the Speaker of the House were autho rized to appoint two members of their respective bodies to act as dele gates. The appointment of the other six delegates was vested in the President- H Mr. Sayers, of Texas, called up the bill making an appropriation of $450, 000 to supply the deficiency in the appropriation for the expense of col lecting revenue from customs for the hscal year ending June 30, 1888. There is a clause in the bill repeal ing the permanent appropriation for the collection of customs. On motion of Mr. Sayers, an amendment was adopted appropriat ing $3,500,000 to supply the defici ency in (be appropriation for the pay ment of army and navy pensions to invalid widows and survivors of the war of 1812. On motion of Mr. Say ers, an amendment was adopted pro viding that the appropropriation of bought them a 9190,000 made by act of March 3, we offer them 1887, lor beatintr aorjaratas to b . . ...

' I but objection was made. lpe House then went into commit toe of tho wbol (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair) on the tariff bill. . Mr. Turner, of Oeonna, criticized the Republican side for not having formulated Borne bill to revise the UYiff in the interest of the people and for havirjg contented itself with an effert to attaint the Mills bill and to attaint th0 whe wore its reputfd a-ithors audri f-fforc to-defend the general policy of protection Pemo cratb. Mi. Cntion, of Illinois, denied that the f-iaturrs of the Mijls bill would reduce the revenues ono cnt- His tory showed that as duties were low ered revenues were increased. The bill had been constructed with the principle iu view of letting into the country, duty free, such articles a6 were produced iu this country, and taxing such as could not be produced here. Mr. Wilkinson, of Louisiana, said he could not agree with the speakers who had held that an industry vhich required protection to bring it into existence was not worthy of cuHva tion. While the bill had not been framed to suit his views or those of his constituents, he would ayato the friends of honest reduction in taxa tion that hia people would not shrink from bearing their share in a reduc tion of the taxes now imposed on the people. Mr. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, Baid that Grover Cleveland, acting Presi dent oi the united States, bad sol emnly proclaimed a doctrine which was the spawn of the cotton combine of Wall street sharks, and of the Kentucky whiskey ring. By protec tion only could, fair remunerative wages be paid for labor. He was therefore for protection , and against class legislation in the interest of cotton, whiskey and Great Britain. Mr. Clements, of Georgia, depre ciated the unbusiness like treat ment which the proposition to revise the tariff a business mat' er had received from the Republican side of the House. The present condition would lead to certain financial panic and disaster. Should the House go on and quibble over who was to do the work of the tariff revision Democrats- or Repub licans House in the face of the great peril ? Would' it not be well to do ' this thing at once and together as Americans He asked what protection was doing for labor. The. American iron master got his labor as cheapiy as he could even if he had to go to other coun tries for it, even if he had to employ Pinkerton's detectives to keep the laboring men of America from re voltirjg against him. Tha'. was t practical illustration of- th great sympathy lelt lor Jabor. Talk about organized labor being peculiar to the North and not to the South was meaningless, xnere nau risen up in tne ooutn today great organizations of federations of farmers. There were labor unions of one kind or atiather, too. . All of them were the outgrowth of the condition in which the American people were placed today. Under the system of taxation they were ' not peculiar to one section or another, they were re- culiar to distressing conditiocs which surounded the laboring men of this entire country and Were pnly an uid cnuiuu wat mej were seeKrcpf in this and in that, way to better, wieir conuiiioa. ne adjured tUe gen tlemen on the other side to abandon their Idiscussion jof the confederate constitution and of slavery and to deal wrh this vital question which concerned the people of the whole country. At the conclusion of Mr Clements speech the commit! ee rose and the House at 5 30 took recess till 8 o'clock. The evening session is to be for the debate on the tariff bill. EXPLOSIONS OF NATURAL GAS IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO DESTROY A CATHEDRAL AXP CREATE ALA KM Tnac roHocx the cixt OTEHB jriws. By Telegraph U the News and Observer. Biukai..., N. Y., May 10, This morn' n was decidedly sensational and - dihar.rou. one in Buffalo. A number of t-xploaions of natural gas occurred, almost simultaneously, caused, ii I i'ixjed. by- over-pres- sure, f ivi nrwt'ed wicieopread excite ment. bi teH destroying the finest church in Uulfaio and -doing other damage. Siufc Paul's cathedral, the pri ie and glory of Buffalo, is in ruins: The entire interior is burned out and the roof gone, but the strong atoue walls and graceful spire remain. At 9 20 o'clock flames were seen burst ing out of the finest glass windows of the church at the junction of Main and Erie streets and instantly most of the interior was a mass of rlamos. An explosion had occurred in the basement, the furnace being supplied with natural gas and the force was so great as to tear off and blow out the Jieavy doors on the Erie and Pearl street side. People ran to see what was the matte1 and a few entered the vestibule of the church, only to be driven out by the flames. An alarm was at once turned in, to which the fire department quickly responded, but when it arrived nothing could be done to save the interior of the state ly edifice, as flames were bursting from every window. Streams were quickly brought to bear with but lit tle effect and the fire, in a few mo ments, had reached the heavily tim bered roof. A great crowd gathered and gazed awe-btrickea at the specta cle, while exclamations of sor row were heard on every hand. A. E. Perry says he hapjened to be looking directly at the church and was amazed at seeing the doors blown almost into the street. Up to this time, Mr. Perry says, there had been no smoke, but the blowing open of the doors seemed to have caused suf ficient draft and vent to give the ele ment .full play, and almost at once flames burst- through the doors and windows, and a minute or two later the handsome windows were cracking and bulging with heat. The church was valued at about $250,000. In surance, on the building $55,000 ; about $2,000 on memorial windows and about $6,000 on the organ. ALAB.U1A DEMOCRATS. Th. Republicans ot lb. West.

The report of the Department of Agriculture say: Low temperature and deficient rainfall, with dry winds and some frost, have reduced the condition of winter wheat in the central States. It has also been cool on the Atlantic coast, and not favorable to improve ment, and yet the plant has nearly held its own in this region. On tbe PaciSa coast only medium develop ment .is reported. Southern States changes are 'light, several averages beiner the same as last month. Penn sylvania shows a decline of 4 points New Yoik 10, Ohio .12, Michigan 12, Indiana 6, Illinois 7, Missouri 2; Kan sas 3. The general average is re duced 9 points from 82 to 73,! Last year the condition was reduced from 88 in April to 38 in May. State aver ages of winter wheat in the principal States are as follows: New York , Pennsylvania 87, Vir ginia 90, Ohio 5G, Michigan 61, Indi ana 59, Illinois 57, Missouri 80, Kan sas 93, Texas 90. bprurs plowing is not quite bo well advanced as usual. It is relatively Later in the more northern States of tho Atlantic coast slightly later than usual in the mid die Stat 68, and scarcely up td a ful average in ithe SouB. i s progress is an average in the Ohio valley, but late in the Northwest, especially in Dakota. . , Cotton planting was delayed by excess of moisture. In March, the Boil not being in condition for early planting, the delay was greatest in Texas and Louisiana. In Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina front four to six per cent less than usual was planted on the first of May. In the States on the '.coast, from South Carolina to Mississippi, planting is nearly up to its average advancement. Investigation of tbe rate of wages of agricultural labor shows that no material change has occurred since the las: previous inquiry in May, 1885. There is a Blight increase in New England, in the Northern States from Michigan west, and in some of the Southern States. There is no appreciable change in the Central States.
