SENATE AND HOUSE THE HSUER1E3 TREATY IN THI 6.FSATE THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE BEAD VA CANT SEATS IN THE HOCSK. i By Telegraph to the News and Observer. ', WASHtnaTOS, July 23 isat Mr. Dawes moved to proceed to lb consideration of the fisheries tront) in open executive session, and of ihf resolution offered by Mr. Morgan in relation thereto. A discussit n arE as td whether Mr. Morgan'b reyiu tion was an executive or lrgisl.vivt proposition, the presiding officer ex pressing, the opinion that it w is pend ing in legislative session, Mr. Mor-. gan insisting that it was pending in legislative session, Mr. Sherman sus taining the view of the presiding offi cer and suggesting that at all events the matter was merely a "moot" reso lution, Mr. Morgan remarking that if it were "moot"' it would not be muvb, but would be heard from because he would insist on a vote on the ques tion whether as the report of the coii mitteo on foreign affairB said, the t' me for negotiation with Great Britain on the subject of fisheries had passed. . The presiding officer defended the otnnion expressed by him, allud ing to the asperity of Mr. Morgan's. remarks, and the latter disclaiming any intention of asperity. Finally the presiding officer said that as Mr. Mor gan did not. desire his resolution td bs he eafter considered in connection with the treaty, his wish would be ob served. ! The conference report on the river and harbor bill was presented, read. and agreed to without discussirii or division. The Senate then at 1 o'clock, proceeded to the consideration of the fashery treaty m open executive ses sion and was addressed by Mr.; Dawes in opposition. Mr. Dawes said that the debate on the subject was well nigh exhausted, and that he would not have ventured to tax the weariness of the Senators still farther if he had not a few ob servations to submit. He then pro ceeded to discuss the treaty in detail and at great length, with occasional interruptions by Mr. Morgan and others, which gave the debate a col loquial character. An allusion by Mr. .Dawes to toe Baltimore Sun's interview with Secre tary Bayard, (particularly in reference to British apology for the act of Can adian officials in hauling down the Hag on an American fishing vessel) was taken up by Mr. Gray, who said that the Senator from Massachusetts could not have been aware, and that the Senator from Colarado, Mr. Tel ler (who quoted il last Saturday) could not have been aware that Bay ard had disavowed that interview, that it was not authorized and that it did not truly represent him. Mr. Teller said that thia was the first disa vowal of the interview he had heard.' Mr. Hoar asked Mr.Gray if he was au thorized by Mr. Bayard to disavow it- Mr. Gray replied that he had had no direct authority, but he had seen the disavowal published in the ialti- timore Sun. The Republican Sena tors were not inclined to accept this published disavowal as sufficient, and in the further course of the debate, after a speech in opposition to the treaty by Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, the Bayard interview was again brought and discussed by Messrs. Lvarts, Hoar, Teller, Hampton and Gibson. Mr. Ev'arts stated that it had been arranged on the Republican side that he should close the argument against the treaty, but he did not expect that the conclusion of the discussion would be reached before next Mon day. Then the Senate proceeded to legislative business. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, from the ju diciary committee, made a report in the matter of the Jackson (Miss.) election, which was ordered printed. A message from the President on the subject of civil service was pre sented, read and referred to the com mittee on civil service and retrench ment. Severs1 bills were taken from the calendar and passed, none of them, however, of general interest; and at 5 15 the Senate adjourned. . HOCSK. There were ft number of vacant chairs in the House this morning when that body was called to order; and an unusually large number of re quests for leave of absence waff sub mitted and granted. In a few words, explanatory of the importance of the immadiate passage of the measure, Mr. Crisp, of Geor gia, called up and the House passed the Senate bill to perfect the quaran tine service of the United States. A call of Slates for the introduc tion of bills having been dispensed with, the House proceeded to the con sideration of business pertaining to the; District of Columbia. ' A number of bills were passed per taining to the local affairs of the Dis trict of Columbia. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, submit ted the conference report on the bill requiring the Pacific Railroad Com pany to construct and operate sepa rate telegraph lines. Conferees on the part of the Hou6e agree to the Senate amendment which relieves the enmnmiv frnm thfl nfwPRsitv of COn- Sj structiDg telegraph lines where there are hni s already constructed, ihe repqrt was agreed to. The Houa,e then at 3 25 adjourned. -- Tercentenary of the Armada. London, July 19.

TIIE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS, IRAN'SMITTIXG THE FOURTH REPORT Or THE UNITED STATES CIVIL SER VICE COMMISSION By Trli-raiih to the New ami Observer. Washington, July 23. The Presi dent today sent to Congress the fol lowing message: To the Congress of the United S.mUs: Pursuant to the second sec ond of chapter 23, of the laws cf 1883, eutitied -'An act to regu'&te and im prove ti e civil service of the United State?,"'" I herewith transmit the fourth report of the United States Civil Service Commibsion, covering the period betweeu the Kith day of January, 18S6, to the 1st day of July, 1887. While this report has especial reference lo the operations during t he period men ioned, it contains, with its accompanying appendices, much valuable information concerning the subject of evil service reform and its growth and progresp, which cannot fail to be interesting and instructive to all who d 'sire improvement in the administration. During the time covered by the report 15,852 poisons wire examined for admission in tho classified civil service of the government in all its branches, of whom ten thousand and seven huudred and forty six passed examination, and five thousand one hundred and six failed. Of those who passed examination, two thou sand nine hundied aud seventy-seven were appointed to departmental service at Washington, tw thousand five hundred and foity-seveu were ex amined for admission to the customs service,! and five thousand iwu hun dred and twenty-two for admission to the i postal service. Daring the Bame p6-iod five hundred and forty seven appointments were made from eligible lists to the departmental service, six hundred and forty-one to the customs service, and three thon taud two hundred and fifty-four to the postal service. Concernining the separat one from classified service, the report only in forms us of such as have occurred among the employees in public ser vice who had bean appointed from eligible lists undor the civil service rule. When these rules took effect thoy d'd not apply to persons then in sorvice, comprising full complement of employees who obtained their po sitions independently of the new law. The commission has no record of separations in this numerous class, and discrepancy apparent in report between the number of appoint ments made ia the respective branch es of the service from the lists of the commission, and the small number of separations mentioned, is, to a great extent accounted for by the vacancies of which no report was made to the commission, occurring among those who had their places without exami nation and certification, which vacan cies were filled by the appointment from elegible lists. Iu the departmental service their occurred between the 10th day of January, 1886, and the 13th day of June, 1887, among the employees ap pointed from eligible lists under the civil service rules seventeen removals, thirty-six resignations and five deaths. This does not include fourteen sepa rations in tho grade of special pen sion examination, four by removals, five by resignation and five by death, in the classified customs and postal service the number of separations among those who received absolute appointments under the civil service rules are given for the period between the 1st day of January, 1886, and tho 30ih day of June, 1887. It appears that such separations in the customs service for the time mentioned em braced twenty-one removals, five deaths and eighteen resignations, and in the postal service two hundred and fifty-six removals, twenty-three deaths and four hundred and sixty-nine res ignations. More than a year has passed since the expiration of the period covered by the report of the commission. Within the time which has thus elapsed, many important changes have taken place, in furtherance of the re form in our civil service. The rules and regulations governing the execu tion of the law upon the subject have been completely removed in such manner as to render the enforcement of the statute more effective and greatly increases its usefulness. AmoDg other things the scope of ex aminations as prescribed for those who seek to enter the classified service has been better defined and made more practical. The number of names to be certified from the eligible lists to appointing officers from which the selection is made has been reduced rom four to three. The maximum imitation of the age of persons seek ing entrance to the classified service to 4o years has been changed, and a reasonable provision made for the transfer of employees from one de partment to another in the proper cascB. A plan also has been made paoviding for the examination of ap plicants for promotion in the service, which, when in lull operation, wui eliminate all the charge of favoritism in advancement of the employees, by making the promotion a reward of merit and faithful discharge of duty. Until withm a few weeks there was no uniiprm ciassincaiion oi em . m " 1 J 1 ployees in the different executive departments of the government. As result of this condition, in some of the di'Dartments, positions could bo obtained without a civil service exam ination because they were not within the classification of such a depart ment, while in the other department examination cirtihcates were necessa ry to obtain positions of the same grade because such positions were embraced in classifications applicable to those departments, wile the excep tion of laborers, watchmen, and mes sengers from the examination and classification gave opportunity, in absence of any rule guarding against it; for employment, free from civil sarvice, of persons under these des ignations who were immediately de- I tailed . . to i do i clerical work. ,1 The scope and purpose of reform have been much misapprehended, and this has not only given rise to strong opposition, but has led to invocations by its friends to compass objects not in the least related to it. . Thus par- ' tisans of the patronage system have naturally condemned it. Lhase who do not understand its meaning either mistrust it or when disappointed be cause of its present stage accuse those charged with its enforcement with faithlessness to civil service re form. Its importance has frequently been underestimated, and the support of good men has been lost by their lack of interest in its success. Be side all these difficulties, those re sponsible for the administration of the government in its executive branch have been and are still often annoyed and irritated by the disloyalty to tho service of its employees who remain in place as beneficiaries and reminders of the vicious system of appointment which tne civil service reform was in tended to displace. And yet these are but incidents of the advance movement which is radical and far reaching. The people are, notwith standing, to be congratulated upon the progress which has been made, and upon the firm, practical and sen sible foundation upon which this re form now reBts. With a continuation of the intelligent fidelity which has hitherto characterized the work of the commission, with the increase of favor and liberality which have lately been evinced by Congress in - the proper equipment of the commission for its work, with a firm but conserva tive and reasonable support of re form by all its friends, and with the disappearance of the oppositiou which must inevitably follow its better un derstanding, the execution of the civil serv cj law cannot fa 1 to ultimately answer the hopes in which it had its origin.

Coombs, who lives twelve miles south of this town, a few nights ago attempted to end his course by committing mutder and suicide. He first decided that his wife and himself should die by shooting, but upon examination of his tevolver found thai he had no car tridges. Then he mixed some paris green in a tumbler, and added to it a vial of carbolic acid quite enough poison to have killed a dozen men. Tho woman consented to die, and at Coombs' request drank a portion of the contents of the tumbler. Coombs then drank the remainder; but instead of dying both were se zed with vom iting. Since that time both have suf fered terrible tortures. The Coombs are well known in this town, and were married six months ago. Coombs has been jealous of his wiia. According to the woman a story she has for months been cruelly beaten by her husband. The doctors found her head pounded to a jelly and actually out of shape and her body black and blue. Under Coombs brutal treatment tne poor woman, who is said to ba naturally feeble minded, became tired of life and read ily consented to swallow, the poison in order to end her misery. The night of the tragedy their two hired men slept in the house. They heard the disturbance, but instead of inter fering they took to their heels and left the woman to meet her fate at the hands of the madman. Coombs will die, but the woman may recover. Like Father, I LIU Son. Buffalo Express, July 14. A dry goods clerk who recently disappeared mystanously has been heard from in Texas. Many years ago the father of the clerk disap reared, leaving his wife and son to shift for themselves. The grass wid ow secured a divorce and married a rich and popular citizen. A few years aero tne son married a most es timable young woman, but as the husband became a semi-drunkard the young wife's lot was far from happy. Two children were the result of the union. A few months ago the clerk received a note from a stranger, re questing an interview at a certain re sort. On going thither the father and son met face to face, after a lapae of over a score of years. The father, after deserting his wife and son, went West, finally settling in lexas, where he amassed considerable wealth. Re turning to Buffalo, he plainly showed the stuff of which he was made years ago. Strangely enough, the coward- Iv proposition was accepted. A few weeks later the younger man desert ed his pretty and faithful young wife and family, and joined his father in the Lone Star State. The deserted wife has returned to her parents' home. The Catholic I ulrtrilljr. Baltimore fua. From the advanced sheets of the Catholic World for August we are enabled to give through our New York correspondence a comprehen sive report of the present state of the Catholic University at Washington and its prospects. From this article it will be seen that the gifts, endow ments and contributions, which have been mainly devoted to building up the divinity department, already sum up $700,000 cash, with $100,000 sub scriptions available at any time. It is thought that in a few weeks the divinitv department will have to its credit a million dollars. It is pro posed to inaugurate this department in the autumn of 1889, when the cen tennial of the Catholio hierarchy in this oountry will be celebrated, and the rector is confident that the phi losophical faculty for the laity will be opened immediately thereafter without delay.

In making arrangements for the convention of Democratic Clubs, at Morehead City, to be held August 15th, it already appears that we will be able to secure a considerable re duction in even the present low ex cursion rates from all parts of the State to Morehead City. It ia in tended to have these tickets ran fif teen days, if possible, so that dele gates may extend their stay of duty into a longer one for pleasure, if de sired. Reduced rates of board have been cheerfully accorded by the Atlantic Hotel tor delegates, and provision made for as large a number as may attend. Members of clubs attending with their delegations will be entitled to the same rates of railroad fare and hotel board as delegates. The Assembly building at More- head City has been tendered us free of charge for the meetings of the con vention. We are indebted for this to the courtesy of Mr. E. G. Harrell, secretary of the Teachers Assembly. Arrangements are pending for a grand mass meeting during the con vention. Prominent visitors are ex pected from all parts of the State and frdm the country at large. Among the novel features of this celebration will be a torch light procession, oat to Bea and back, by all the vessels and yachts in the harbors cf Morehead City and Beaufort. There will also be a brilliant display of fire works on the water and a grand illumination of buildings during the procession of vessels. En. Chambers Smith, Chairman. B. C. Beckwith, Secretary.

Elizabeth City Eronomi-it. The visitors at Nag's Head both at the hotel and in the cottageB by the sea and sound are more numerous! now than at any season at this time. Beside our local visitors from the Al bemarle and Tar river sections, Ral eigh and Norfolk are lepresented and other sections are expected, so that from present indications this season will be no exception to the general role of success. It is said that no! season during its existence of morel than fifty years has there been a fail-; are to pay a profi', aud some seasons have been largely profitable. This is owing to the fact that the expense of living is cheap, that fish, vemson and! wild fowl are abundant and that the! place itself is heUTthy aud attractive.! Nag's He.d is the sanitary safety ; valve of our section It is one of I our most valuable institutions. It has brought us together and. made na one people, with common interests, pleasure and purposes. Thero is no question that it has adde-l.to our pop ulation, longevity, -health aud bsppi ness. It is the universal tee'imony that the table is well kept and the general management satinfactory. The old rivalry in health and pleasure between the nea and sound as a place of residence still ex ists, and will continue to exist so long as both are best. One is essential to the other and neither would be com plete without the other, The sound j is the market place and place of ingress and egress. ' It is neuter home I and perhaps a little cheaper and more ! convenient. The sea is attractive ! for drives, grandeur and contempla- ; tion, and perhaps a little healthier. : For families and children we would j prefer the sea, otherwise thr; sound. '; To raise a healthy, robust, happy and j hearty child with enlarged ideas and i far-reaching vision we would take ! him to the seaside, take off hi shoes, i put on him a loose fitting dress, put a bell around his neck and drive him up at meals, and at nighi and en courage a fondnesb lor gathering shells and runuing "fiddlers, and "throw physic to the dogs."'
