Among the bills reported and placed
on the calendar were the following:
Senate bill ; for the donation to
Tampa, Florida, of the Fort Brook
military reservation at that place.
Mr. Walthall offered a resolution,
which was agreed to, calling on tip
Secretaryipf the Treasury for infor
mation as to; what , steps have befn
taken for. the removal of the national
quarantine station from Ship Island,
Mies.
Mr. Allisoh, from the committee on
appropriatiops, reported back the
sundry civil ' appropriation bill
and said he would soon- call it ap for
consideration. : i
The Senate then took up and after
some discussion passed the bill to
place John C. Fremont on the retired
list of the army as' Major-GeneraL
The vote wa) yeas 29, pnays 2. The
Senate tbeQ presumed consideration
of the bill i providing for adj uat
ment of the accounts oflaborers,
workmen and mechanics employed by
the government under the eight hour
law. ' ; ! .V
'' Mr. Reaean ODDosed the bill. It
had been iokimea for it, he said,
that it Iwasi in the interest
of the laboring men. If it were
in the interest of all laboring men and
involved no? improper principle, he
would vote for it, but, as it was in
the interest of a few laboring men at
the expense bf j many laboring men,
it would ndt have his support The
bill was but tme small step in the di
rection of I class legislation,' and he
hoped that i would not pass.
Mr. btewat supported the but and
offered an amendment to prohibit any
officer of the goternment from making
any contract jprj arrangement whereby
any workman, laborer or mechanic
shall work more than 8 hours a day,
exeept in special emergencies.
air. ueorite; saia that as a member
of the committee on education and
labor he had dissented from the re
port on the billi There was not one
scintilla of obligation on the part of
the government to these 14,000 or
15,000 laborers who happened to have
been in a more favorable condition
than other" laborers in the United
States in being employed in govern
ment workshops. It was a mere
gift a donation. The money in the
treasury cam from taxation paid by
the laborers ;of the country. It did
not grow there. lie spoke of the
small compensation of labor at the
South. The laborer who cultivated

five bales pf cotton, which, when
cleanly gathered and ginned, brought
him forty d$&ra a bale at the nearest
market. If J he worked for hire and
fed himself he would not get one hun
dred and seventy-five dollars a year,
and tne man .who hired nun wouia gee
into the bankruptcy court. These
men "were entitled to some considera
tion. ' Therik was no justice in taxing
them in order to mace a donation to
other laborers I at . the North. He
quoted fronrhe adverse report of the
committee aa education and labor in
1878 on th House joint resolution
declaring the meaning of the eight-
hour .law, and from the speeches 01
Senators Buxnside and Morrill in
opposition t it as bing hostile to the
interests of t&e great mass of laborers.

workshops more favored than they

The House than went into commit
tee of the whole Mr. Springer in the
chair) on the tariff b li, the internal
revenue feature being peuiing. On
behalf of the ways and means com
mittee, Mr. McMUUn, of Tenn seee,
offered an amendment providing that
the bond required, to be given by
cigar manufacturers shall b in such
penal Bum as the collector of internal
revenue may require not less than
$100, with, the addition of ten
dollars for every person prosed to
be employed by such manufacturers.
Adopted. 5.-
There were two pending amend
ments coming oer from vesterday,
one offered by Mr; Wise, of Virginia,
(repealing the tax on cigars, cheroots
and cigarettes) and onb by Mr. Sow
den, of Pennsylvania, (abolishing the
tax on spirits distilled from apples,
peaches and Other-fruits.) Mr. Wise's
amendment Was defeated 43 to 78.
Mr. Sowden's was withdrawn.
Mr. Nichols, of North Carolina,
offered an amendment repealing all
internal taxes. Rejected.
Mr. Farquhar, of New York, offered
an amendment' reducing from $3 to
$2 the special tax on cigar manufac
turers. Lost.
Mr. Sowden - again offered his
amendment 'abolishing the ; tax on
fruit spirits.'
In advocating the amendment, Mr.
Cowles, of North Carolina, referred to
the fact that the Republicans had re
frained from, voting yesterday on the
f roposition to repeal the tobacco tax.
nstead of fulfilling their pledges the
Republicans, had remained seated in
conscious peace, in company with the.
ways and means : committee. A re
mark of Mr.'Oowles, to the effect that
tbe Republican party was in favor of
squandering the! surplus in ill-deserved
pension, met with severe crit
eism from Messrs, Millikin, of Maine,
and Williams, of Ohio, the latter of
whom declared that every soldier
who could produce an honorable dis
charge deserved a pension. 1
Mr. McMfUin opposed the amend
ment declaring that there was no way
of preventing frauds in the revenue if
fruit spirits should be exempted from
taxation. .Grain i, spirits could be
mixed with fruit! spirits and thus
eaaaiM tarat.tnn. and
nn rMrt fit
there were : any such in tne nouse;
could detect the fraud.
Mr. Simmons, Of North Carolina,
while earnestly advocating, the aboli
tion of the' tax on fruit spirits, an
nounced his opposition to the total
repeal of the whisky tax if, in order
to effect that repeal, the burdens of
taxation would have to be retained on
the necessaries of life.
Mr. Sowden's amendment was re
jected 44 to 79.
Mr. Warner, of Missouri, offered
an amendment providing that the
special tax on wholesale ..-and retail
dealers in Oleomargarine shall be ten
dollars and five dollars respectively.
Reiected. s v ' f
Messrs. . Adams; of Illinois, and
Butter worth, of Ohio, criticised as
opening the way for evasion of pay
ment of the whisky tax tne provision
authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury in his discretion to allow
distilleries mashing less than twenty-
five bushels of grain a day to 'be op
erated without store-keepers ana
gangers. . " j;
Mr. Kelley, of s .Pennsylvania, re
garded all the administrative features
of the bill having relation to the col
lection of the internal revenue tax as
a well-devised plan for relieving the
moonshiners from responsibility.
Mr. Butter worth moved to strike
out the clause to which he had ob-
1'ected, and bis motion was advocated
y Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, who
argued that the clause mean free
whisky. Motion lost, 73 to vt.
Mr. Lawler, of Illinois, ouered an
amendment to abolish the tax on
oleomargarine. Rejected yeas 3,
nays 101. The last section of the
bill was then read and on motion of
Mr- Bynum, of Indians, the date on
whioh the bill Shall go into effect was
fixed as October 1st, 1888. The com
mit tee then rose. I
There have been a few paragraphs
of the bill passed over informally

ceeded with tomorrow. The vote afcd

Wabhisgtoh, N. 0-, July 16. After
all Potts cheats the gallows. Another
sensation swept over the city last
night. W. A. Potts, Jr., who was to
be hanged today for the murder of
Paul Lmcke,made the second attempt
to kill himself and succeeded. About
8 o'clock last evening he eluded his
keepers for a few moments and took
a dose of chloral and morphine, dy
ing about 12 o'clock. How he pro
cured the drug is still a matter of
mystery. There is much subdued ex
citement and feeling about the matter
and public censure is likely to be
visited upon certain parties.
Potts' body is now lying in his
cell ready for burial and large crowds
are passing in viewing the remains.
Almost the entire county believed the
tragedy would end as it has, but inas
much as he failed in the first attempt
to destroy himself, it was hoped that
sufficient precautions would be taken
to prevent the suicide and that the
law would be avenged. There is
much feeling in this county about the
manner in which this affair has been
conducted,' and the effect is not good.
So ends the last act in this horrible
tragedy. Potts is dead by his own
hand, but still public sentiment is not
satisfied. It is felt that the law is
not satisfied and justice is defeated.

serious results growing out of the

The evidence before the coroner's
jury of inquest in the case of the kill
ing of Win. Porter in this city Friday
night is still going on and the verdict
has not yet been rendered. The evi
dence in brief, as thus far given in,
is to the effect that Bud Anderson,
who is in custody for the crime, was
refused credit by Mr. Porter for some
barbecue, whereupon Anderson
abused him in cursing language, and
later returned with a jagged stone in
his hand and when a good opportu
nity afforded itself while Porter was
bowed d far his tray cutting a piece of
barbecu struck him and rapidly
ran aw. to the corner of John and
Walnut streets, where he changed
hats with a friend of his named Long,
and afterwards returned to the scene
of the killing as if drawn there with
the crowd that gathered. He was
immediately recognized by several
who Baw him strike Porter and run
off and was promptly arrested by Spe
cial officer it. L. Spicer. This is the
evidence in brief of one of the most
unprovoked and brutal murders of
he several that have of . . ears
been perpetrated in Wayne cuouty by
white men and thus far, every sin
gle villain of those who perpetrated
the deeds have gone unwhipt of jus
tice, although the law has seemingly
settled the question of their guilt.

Marshal Marsh and two deputies
brought Informer Bowles this morn
ing to test the truth of his story that
a dynamite cartridge had been placed
on the Burlington track northeast of
here and subsequently, in conse
quence of fear of the results, had
been concealed in a hedge near by.
The officers and railroad officials and
a number of municipal officers nd
citizens went to the depot that Bowles
indicated and after considerable dig
ging found the dynamite cartridge.
It has caps at both ends. It is now
in the hands of the railroad officials.
The sheriff and other officers then

a State warrant. Clark made no re

There are four Regimental camps
forming a square; so arranged that
each regiment mounts its own guard.
There are 287 tents, each with a ca
pacity for five men. The enlisted
men are to occupy wedge tents, whilst
the officers will be provided with wall
tents. Within the enclosure of the
four regimental camps there is an
ample court, and the company tents
vre so accurately dressed as to make
the avenues open upon this coirt
in straight vista. Each pamp opens
outward that is, faceji from the
court so that there is H clear view
from each of the four approaches.
The Fourth Regiment, from the ex
treme western part of the State,
and unaccustomed to sea views,
has had its camp pitched facing
the Sound, where views of
old ocean may be had at all hours
from its tents. The Camp of the
Second Regiment faces headquarters,
toward the south, and in the direc
tion of the point formed by the junc
tion of Bradley's creek and the tide
waters of . the sound. The camp of
the First faces west, or nearly so, and
takes in the Wilmington approach on
the pike, Bradley's creek and the
pike with glimpses of the Hammocks
and one of the inlets to the north.
In the rear of each company street
is its kitchen, fully equipped wi h all
culinary utensils, water barrels,
pumps, etc. Drinking water, pure
and abundant, will be obtained from
a cistern near the old hotel on the
grounds. There are 27 companies
divided into four regiments, and one
troop of cavalry. The cavalry camp
is pitched in the angle between the
camps of the First and Second regi
ments, nearest headquarters on the
south The flag-staffs bearing the
stars and stripes and the State Hag
are located upon the apex of the pro
montory in front of the old hotel
building, and occupy the highest
point of ground on the camp field,
besides being fifty feet in height
themselves.
The quarters of the Adjutant Gen
eral in command of the camp are lo
cated immediately adjoining the col
ors. Next is the tent of CoL Carle A.
Woodruff, of the Fifth Artillery. Col.
Woodruff, in respect to his profioien-
ct and rananoe as an omoer, was
specially requested by Got. Scales to
attend the encampment, and his tent
has been supplied with every comfort
possible to camp life. Inspector (ien
eral (Jameron a quarters are next in
order, and in juxtaposition to the
headquarters tent, where all the busi
ness of the encampment is to be trans
ected. At right angles to these quar
ters, and in a charming position facing
the Bound, are the quarters of the
Quartermaster General, Surgeon Gen
eral, Commissary General and
rrineer in Chief.
The parade and drill grounds are
exceptionally fine; far beyond the
most sanguine expectations of those
who had looked upon the rude patch
of briars aud thistles, from which the
fair plain now shown has been ex
humed. They extend from the west
rise of the knoll upon which the ho
tel stands, clear around the point
and up the trend of the Sound to the
pike on the northeast. mere is
ample room and a splendid opportu
nity for display.

Chic 00, July 17. In a small frame
house in the vicinity of Ashland Ave
nue and Thirty-second; street, were
found twelve dynamite bombs, a re
volver and a knife, and; as the owner
of the articles stepped to the t-idis-walk
he was arresred by Inspector
Bonfield in peiBon and taken to the
police station. Two other arrests
were made later. When questioned
as to what the prisoners intended to
do, Inspector Bonfield confined him
self to saying: "There was a con
spiracy of long standing and it was
about to be put into execution. They
intended to use dynamite on Judge
Gary, Judge Grinnell and myself."
The chief prisoner is an old time
anarchist and was prominent iq the
scenes of the Hay market times. Be
fore making the first arrest Bonfield
had the house surrounded by five
picked officers. Just as daylight was
breaking the inspector was joined in
the vicinity by a stranger and in a few
moments later a man emerged from
the house. The stranger nudged
Bonfield and an order was given to
the officers who closed in on the man.
He made a desperategght but was
quickly overpowered and placed in
charge of two of the Officers. Bon
fied and the other officers then rushed
into the house. They were met on the
Btaiis by a woman, wife of tbe man
who had been captured, but she
was brushed aside and the poliee,
guided by the stranger, entered the
hall bedroom where, hidden in a cor
ner, the inspector found an even
dozen of dynamite cartridges wrap
ped in brown paper. Further search
of the room disclosed a large revol
ver and a dagger. Some letters and
other papers; which were also taken
care of by the police were found.
Then a patrol wagon was called and
the prisoner was taken! to tbe station.
The officers rzt went, to a house
sorne distance away which it is sup
posed was 3,016 Quinn;8treet Here,
too, ' other arrests j were made
and these were taken to the
central station. Inspector Bonfield
is reported to have said that the plot
was a well-arranged lone. About
twenty determined mjirderers were
in the conepirac), and jthey were at a
certain hour after midnight tonight
to be at tbe homes of Gunnell, Gary,
Barfield, Frank Walker, Gen. Stiles
and others prominent in the prosecu
tion of the anarchists. Dynamite was
to b3 placed beneath the houses of
these, and the powerful explosions
were to be touched off simultane
ously. I Tbe board of trade was to be

We again congratulate the people of North Car

principles as heretofore enunciated la the plat
forms of the party, it is hereby
" Besolved, Xbat no government has the right to
burden Its people with taxes beyond the amount
required to pay its necessary expenses and grad
ually extinguish its public debt; and that when
ever the revenues, however derived, exceed this
amount, they should be reduced, so as to avoid a
surplus In the treasury. That any system of tax
ation which necessitates the payment of a pre
mium of i70 by tne government on each Sl.ooo of
Its bonds, taken up with the millions that would
otherwise lie idle in Its vaults, and paid to bond
holders who purchased, la many Instances, at
less than par. & undemocratic, oppressive and ln
Iqulttouu, and should be reformed. The course of
oar Democratic Representatives In Congress, in
their efforts to give relief to Uie people lrom bur
densome internal revenue and tariff taxation,
meets with the approval of the Democratic party
of this State and we respectfully recommend that
If they And it impossible to give to our people all
tbe relief demanded, they support any Just and
practical measure presented in Cougress that
will afford a partial relief from suca existing
burden.
Kesuired, That while tbe details of the methods
by which the constitutional revenue tariff shall
be gradually reached are subjects which the rep
resentatives of our people at the nat ional capital
must be trusted to adjust, we think the customs
duties should be levied for the production of pnb
ellirevenue, and the discriminations in their ad
justment should be such as will place the highest
rates on luxuries and the lowest on the necessa
ries of life, distribute as equally as possible the
unavoidable burdens ef taxaUaa. and confer tbe
greatest good on the greatest number .
Resolved, That we, as heretofore, favor, and
will never cease to demand, the unconditional
abolition of the whole internal revenue system, as
a war tax not to be justified In times of peaos; as
