PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY SENATE AND HOUSE. IN HIOHT SESSIONS rOB PENSION BILLS THE MATTER Or imtlORATIOS. OTBIB KXW8. Br Telegraph it the Newi and Obaarrer. Washinqtok, July 12 Senate. The resolution to print extra cop ew of the report of the committee ou pensions in the case of seven vetoed pension bills was the text for some political discuBsioc, Mr. Cockrell tie Siring to have the last of the pension vetoes i (the Doherty case) printed among : jthe other vetoes, and M r. Hawley intimating that the publ:cn lion of that veto, would not help the President or his party with the stir yiving soldiers of the republic in view pf the assertion contained in it that there was reason to fear that the case in question would find a parallel in many cither oases that had reached a 'successful conclusion. . Messrs, Hawley and Blair criticised 'the language of the President's veto messages; scarcely one of which, they said, but I that was discourteous to Congress: Mr. Butler defended the President and, quoting one of Mr. Blair's remarks about the President, made a persbnal attack upon Mr. Blair, whom he accused of demo goguery. Mr. Blair in turn attacked Mr. Butler, intimating that he was a .traitor and indebted for his life to the mercy of his country. Without disposing of the subject the Senate at 2 o'clock proceeded to the conside ration of ' the fishery treaty in open executive session and was addressed by Mr. George in favor of its ratifi cation. : At the conclusion of Mr. George's speech the fortification bill was taken up and was by unanimous consent: postponed until after the passage1 of the' army appropriation bill. The Senate then took up the Senate bill referring io the Court of Claims the claims of laborers, workmen and mechanics employed under the gov ernment since June 25, 1868, for ex cess of labor over the eight hours fixed by the law of that date as a legal day's work. Mr. Cockrell offered an amendment providing that any amount allowed shall be paid only to the claimant (if living) or to his personal representa tives (if dead.) He said he wanted to cut off4 claim agents and attorneys from getting three-fourths .of the amount. ; Amendment agreed to. The bill was discussed! by Messrs. Blair, Cockrell, Payne, Vest and Stewart when, without action on the bill, the: Senate at 6 p. m. adjourned till tomorrow. f ; HOUSE- Sessions were ordered for next Wednesday and Thursday nights for 1 he consideration of bills reported respectively from the committee on labor and the committee on military affairs. 1 Mr. E. B. Tavlor. of Ohio, at tempted to obtain a night session for consideration of the general pension bills, but a call for the regular order made by Mr. Bland, of Missouri,' op erated as an objection. Mr. Ford, of Michigan, from the committee on military affairs, re ported back the resolution for the appointment of a speoial committee to investigate alleged evasions of the contracted labor law. Mr. Dates, of Alabama, spoke of the importance of the subject-matter of the inquiry and thought the com mittee Should be composed of the best men in the House. In reply to a question by Mr. Van diver, of California, Mr. Ford stated that the resolution' was broad enough in scope: to cover the subject of any evasion of the law against Chinese immigration- Mr. Go x,; of New York, called the attention of the House to the great necessity of this resolution to correct abuses now existing. Thar was an abnormal immigra tion to this country by men persuaded i to coma here by false and fraudulent pretenses. Italians were coming into this country at the rate of eighty thousand a year under influences that should be inquired into. There had come into New York in one month fifty thousand men who did not know our language ana wno auaea notn g to our wealth ana laDor. Mr. Morrow, of California, was glad that the House at last compre- nenaea me evu Deseuing iue coun try from unrestricted immigration. The Pacific coast has been confronted with the question for thirty years, and the representatives of that sec tiou had been declaring over and over again that Chinese immigration could not be assimilated. Now New York was confronted by the same condition of affairs. Immigrants were coming in there as slaves, precisely as the Chinese came into ban Francisco. Afterlan ineffectual report by Mr. Holman, of Indiana to limit' expenses to $3,000,the resolution was adopted The House then went into commit tee of the whole (Mr. Springer in the chair) on the tariff bill, the agreement being that no vote should . be taxen on the pending wool schedule to dav. Mr. E. B. Taylor said that the de bate would be greatly shortened if the maioritv should agree to allow a yea and nay vote to be taken in the House on the wool schedule, but Mr. Mills disclaimed any authority to en ter into such an arrangement. Mr. ruirhley, of Ohio, opposed the schedule as it appears in the bill, con tending that it would destroy the sheep-growing industry and incident ally make unavailable much of the poor land of the country, ice duly on wool, instead of being reduced, should: bo increased, and if this were done there would be iu the country one hundred million of sheep instead of forty million, and two million crdwers instead of one million. Mr. ; O'Douuell, of Michigan, did not characterize the present bill as sectional. He felt that it knew no north, no east, no west, it was all south. I The attempt to place wool on the frei list would injure one-fifteenth of thewopulation of the country in terested in wool-growing. He favored I nutting sugar and rice on the free list, cutting down the revenue $5 000,000 from these two articles of ne cessity. Then he would reduce letter postage to one cent and take off the exorbitant charges to the farmers for postage on seeds, plants and bulbs. This would save over $26,000,000 more, making $85,000,000 induction on these three articles. He thought this method should be tried to stop the growing surplus and this debate tad give the country rest Mr. McKmney of New Hampshire spoke of the value of sheep growing fox the purpose of improving poor land. There were three profits from seep; first, from their wool, second, from tbeir mutton, aud third, from tfeeir fertilizing ropc. u Iu the face A this fact the Uuurt- an at,ked to place a high pro.ee. i. 1u.a n. hlLjh nr.i m. 1 . . 1? nil Wftftl iri' order tha the Ohiu I irnjt-r might have better profits although he had i&ree prod is trouu hia cL t- alieady.. Would there be lues frtii ziog quali ties in sheep under free trade than under protection T It was his im pression that the sheep would know nothing about it, and wou d go on, fertilizing the ground as b-,fuio. lie! did not think that the pUcing of; Wool on the free list n iual deciea the price of wool in tM couutry but it. would secure cheap, t doihos, be cause it would enable American man-i ufacturers to compete ou an equality with foreign manufaciurers. Mr. Caswell, of Wisconsin, pro tested against free wool as having the effect of destroying the sheep raising industry in his State. That industry depended on protection and encouragement. Pass this b 11 and ic less than ten years there would not be twenty million sheep left in the country. ;:'Mr. BoothmaD, of Ohio, said that the placing of wool on the free list struck a deadly blow at one of the industries of his district, and for this, if for no other reason, he was opposed t6 the Mills bill. He favored a re turn to the wool schedule of 1867. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, asserted that there was no political party in the country which was hostile to American interests and he questioned the sincerity of the gentlemen on the other side when they charged the Democratic party with desiring to inaugurate English systems in this republic. When the interests of this country were arrayed Against those of foreign nations the American peo ple would be found standing as one man in support of their own land. He contraverted the argument that free wool would destry the wool growing interest. During the high tariff period from 1867 to 1883 there were varying degrees of wool production depending not on the tariff rate but on the great law of supply and demand. He said he would have more respect for the prophecies of the other side if they Lad not turned out so badly in times pst, as; for instance, when they had prophesied ruin and disaster to the country and j the re-establishment of slavery as a result of Democratic suc cess in the last Presidential election. Tf. I.ho ol3 Xsloaaia law wu in force today they would be stoned to death as false prophets. Democratic applause. AS to this talk about legislation hostile to labor it would be as fair to expect a mother to desert her babe as to ex pect the Democratic party to turn its back upon the laboring man, who had always constituted its bone and sinew. Mr. Allen, of Michigan, said that this country could and would pro duce all the Wool it needed if it were given a chance. The Democrats had protected all of the country south of Mason and D.xon's line and in the breath charged the Republicans with sectionalism. If they believed they could strike at Michigan through her great staples salt, lumber and wool, with impunity, they would learn better at the coming election. Mr. Lanham of Texas said the bill had received the endorsement and sanction of the Democratic party and had become essentially a party meas ure. He had some doubt as to the EroprMy of the wool schedu'o, but e had resolved that doubt in fa vor of the duty which he had owed to the party to which he belonged, and in deference to its counsels he would yield his own .feelings and de clihe to break its ranks. Mr. Brewer of Michigan said that tee nock raisers of the .country were receiving from 5 to 8 cents less per pound for their wool than they would be receiving had not the Mills bill been pending. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, said that if under free wool there would be a re duction in the cost of 'material, the farmer must suffer by it. If free wool made clothing cheaper it Was because it made wool cheaper and gave the farmer less return for his Wool. If it did not reduce the price of wool it could not reduce the price of clothing. Which horn of the! di lemma would the crentlemen on the other side take 1 Even should the price of wool be reduoed for a time it would not be long alter tree wool iraa crushed out the wool-producing in dustry in the United States before the foreign growers would take advantage of the situation and increase the price.

Since the Mills bill had been launched in the press, wool had declined seven cents a pound, it tue discussion of the bill had done this what would the bill itself do to the iaiurv of the farmer? ; . ii Mr. J. D. Tay or, of Ohio, recaruea the bill as a conspiracy for ultimate free trade and he attacked its general features and more especially that leH fcure ulacincr wool on tne iree uai- In the course of his remarks he suggested that the committee on wavs and means know that the bill could not be passed. If there was any hopeful member of that commit tee he (Tajlor) would tell him that (he bill would never become a law. Did the gentleman from Kentucky Mr. Breckenridre think it would! ' Mr. Breckenridge replied that he was under tha imDreaaion that the bill would pass the House, and. if it did that would be presumptive evi dence that it oucht to pass me oen ate. (Laughter). Mr. Tajlor Did you think it would pass the Senate? Ifr. Breckenridge I can hardly aay I did, because it is a Bepublican Senate. I only hoped that it would aee the error of its ways and would do'this good thing : to the disappoint ment of both sides of the House. (Laughter). Mr. Kennedy, of Ohio, directed bis speech to the consideration of the methods followed by the Democratic party in carrying elections in the South, declaring that they were car ried by fraud, outrage and intimida tion. The Southern elections, he said, were an infamous assault on the fundamental principles of Bepublican government. He knew that he would be , accused of waving the "bloody shirt." The man who believed in the purity of the ballot And was willing to plead for fair elections was called a disseminator of vicious doctrine whose arguments were to be treated with derision and contempt and who was to be branded as a traitor to the peace of the Union, but the demand for f ir .elections would not cease un til the ballot box in Georgia was as honest aa the ballot box in Indiana. The Republican party believed in f lir elections. It could afford to be defeated by fraud but it could not afford to succeed by dishonest meas ures. Pending further debate the com mittee rose and the House at 5 o'clock adjourned till 8 o'clock p. m., the evening session to be for the consideration of various private pen sion bills to which opposition has been shown in Friday evening's ses sions. Cong-res and the Trust. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, July 12 The House committee on manufactures, at its meeting today, decided to ' continue its investigation into-the subject of trusts. It will shortly report the evi dence so far taken in the sugar and Standard Oil trusts, and will then, in all probablity, within the next ten days or two weeks, begin an investi gation into the whisky trust. A great many people, said a member of the committee think that the protective tariff tends to propagate trusts. We have so far investigated a trust the sugar trust which is protected by the tariff, and we have investigated a trust the Standard Oil Trust unaf fected by any tariff. Now we pro pose to probe into the whisky trust, which is affected by an internal reve nue tax, so that we will be able to present to the country the results of an inquiry into all sides of the ques tion. a Fiend docs Frca.

Tha Jrrs- I.llr Crratrs Scntatlosi im Ktr 1 ork . New York I.etl.T. After Mrs. HarnTuesley's marriage the nut thing agitating Bocial circles is the query as to Mrs. Langtry ' standing therein The Lily set gossip in a whirl by appearing the other day at the wedding of. the daughter of Mr. L. B. Binse to Mr. Francklyn. Mr. Binse is one of the leading and moot exclusive reMgious people of the city, snd the appearance of the English actresq under his roof made a flutter in religious circles twice as big as the social sensation. The story of the wedding episode is told as follows by one who is said to be cognizant of the inside particulars : "Reginald Fpancklyn haa long been an intimate friend of Mr. Fred. Gebhard's, and when the wedding cards were issued he asked that one be sent to the Lily on Gebhard's ac count, The elder Binses greatly de murred, but the bride took the side of her prospective husbarxd, and after repeated assurances that .Mrs. Lang try would never think of coming and the whole matter was merely an empty formality, the cards were sent. After the ceremony, had been per formed Mr. Gebhard was one of the first to arrive, and immediately .fol lowing his congratulations asked in the same breath "if Lily had come yet?" The Binses gasped, but before any course could be decided upon in walked the Langtry herself large as life and twice a$ natural. She rushed up to tender her felicitations and murmured all sorts of pretty things to the bride about kindness and waiv ing formalities and sending her cards. The women guests stood aloof for a few moments, but finally one of some prominence moved forward and re quested to be presented to Mfs. Langtry. It was like an undecided flock wnen the bell wether makes up hiB mind at last to take the fence. Every ono insisted upon the eame honor, and the Lily had a perfect ovation. The bride was nowhere, and tha English woman stood flushed and triumphant wi h pleasure aa woman after woman was added to her list of acquaintances. Gebhard beam ingly supported her in her victory and when they went to bid the bride adieu she assured the pair that it was the most delightful afternoon ehe had spent since her arrival in America.

Mr- Bonebrake says he gave the letter to Thomas A Osborne, of Topeka, Kansas, chairman of the Kansas delegation, who wanted to read it, and that was the last he saw of it. Mr. Osborne says be received the letter, and after reading it, en closed it m an envelope and sent it by a messenger boy back to Bone brake. "That accounts5 for it then,"' said a Kansas man who knows both parties. - "Osborne's handwriting would defy any one to decipher it, and I guess the! poor boy in despera tion sought tha hrst newspaper man ho met to assist him m translating the subscription, and then the con tents of the envelope were found to be good to keep, and the public got hold of it.

The wa ters that have been sweep ng the val ley of the Monongahela and the waters of its tributaries for the last six'y hourb are again falling into their natural channels. They leave in their track scenes of desola'ion and ruin that have never had their coun terpart in the same locality. From Pittsburg to the mountains of Ran dolph county, W. Va., towns have, been ravaged, manufactories inunda ted, boats suck, houses and lumber floated off. , Tie'Aa of wheat and other growing crops have been de stroyed, families driven to higher grounds and in many instances the accumulations of years of toil and self-denial lost in an hour. The losses entailed by the flood will not fall short of $.1,000,000. a large propcr tion of which falls -with crushing effect upon the people of thriving counties on the Monongahela Ma rion, Taylor, Harrison, Lewi, Bar bour, Upshur and Randolph in West Virginia. In Pennsylvania the losses ore in the counties of Alleghany, Washing ton, Westmoreland, Fayette and Greene, the heav.est beiDg in Alle ghany, Washington and Fayette. These losses fall inott heavily upon the owners of coal property, the rail road company and the-faimers. Not withstanding the suddenness of the coming of the water and the area of the districts, the losses of flats, barges and smaller river craft have been comparatively small, and nearly all boat owners are congratulating them selves on their good fortune.
