' He said the bill was in the same shape as when last reported and recommitted and that he would call it up for action at a very early day. In the bill asreported the provisions of the House bill for the transfer of the weather bureau from the War Department to the Department of Agriculture are atruck out " The Senate resumed tne considera tion of the sundry civil appropriation bill, the; pending question being On the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Call! appropriating. $10,00 for the recovery of property of the late Confederate States now held in ad verse possession to the government. After a speech by Mr. Call in support of the amendment Mr. Edmunds said that he had been a member of a com mittee a few years ago which had in vestigated that whole subject and be was satisfied that the appropriation would be a 'useless waste of money, and the wisest thing to be done with the assets of the late Confederacy (as with the late unpleasant ness itself) was to forget; all about them and let them go. The ships referred to might be located, perhaps, just as in old fox- hunting times the fox might be located in a narrow cave in the moun tain but the question was how to get him out. Every cent spent in the matter would be lost. ' Mr. Call suggested that things were not to be decided upon the mere statements of Senators without rea sons being given for them. Specific statements had been made by three distinguished officers M the United States n4vand of the Confederate States navy as to a vessel that had been built and paid for by the 'Con federate government. No attempt had bvkn . made to get that Vessel for the United States government, he did not know how much money had been paid to suppress informa tion or what Officials bad been cor rupted to betray the honor and inter est of the United States, but he ' did know tbV it was the imperative duty of every Senator to see that the prop erty of the United States was recov- ulummoWyP Veraon Mr nttiBon'.ODiJOsed the' amend meat, being convinced that on tne surrender at the close of the war; the Officers of the Confederate army : and navy had; delivered op au me public property under their con trol, lie naa naa u , of being a commissioner for thasur- randflr rf one of the armies,1 and lb ore willing testimony to the courtesy and kindness ol the commissioner ot the opposing army and to the generosity of the terms extended.

The amendment was concurred in: yeas 28, nays 11- The bill was then passed. Mr. Blount inquired of Mr. Allison as to the length of time which it would probably require (in view of necessarv delays of conference) for the sundry Jcivil bill to become a law. de baid iuai. he made inquiry with ueo'iject of learning the probable ifogtL of the continuance of the ses sion.

The former h.'vl been" partially considereii tiy thi House, but the fortifict lions Ln ' i had only been reported by tiie House within a day or two. Of course it was impossible for him to say how long it would take to finibh the sundry civil bill. But there were fewer im portant amendments put on by the Senate than on any similar bill for many years, so that it could be disposed of very readily, either by the House concurring in the Senate amendments or by a conference com mittee. He thought it might be safely assumed that all the appropri ation bills could be disposed of next week. Mr. Stewart asked Mr. Allison whether he had any appropriation bill for tomorrow ntimating that he (Mr. Stewart) would like to get up a Chinese bill. Mr. Allison replied that not only would he not have any appropriation bill to call up tomorrow, but that it was not likely that he would have any for several days, because the only two remaining ones were the general deficiency bill and the fortification bill. The Senate had passed a joint resolutiou last Saturday extending all appropriations till the 31st of August. As to the tariff bill it was not possi ble for him to say when it could be presented to the Senate but he could only say that so far as he was con cerned, and so far as he had heard, it was the intention of the committee on finance to bring that bill into the chamber at the earliest practicable moment and to have it considered with all due speed inconsistence with its careful consideration. Mr. Qibsonioquired of the chair man of the committee on finance (Mr. Sherman) whether the tariff bill was likely to be brought in next week nrJLhe week af ;er. one can tell. Mr. Pugh presented the minority report in the case of the investigation of the Jackson, Miss-, election and it was ordered to be printed with the maioritv report. After an unsuccessful motion to have the Senate meet at 11 a m , the Senate adjourned at 5 15 HOUSE. After disposing of the unimportant routine business on the Speaker's ta ble, the House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of Illi nois, in the chair) on the Senate amendments to the army appropria tion bill.

The pending amendment was non-concurred in without division, as were also the amendments appropri atiDg'$l,M)0 for repairs to the works on Old Fort Barrancas, Pensaco'a Bay, F)a , and appropriating $000,000 for the manufacture or purchase of cannon Rnd carriages. Mr Townshend moved to non-concur iu the amendment providing for thr eatttblitiuinent of a gun factory and for the purchase cf steel. Tho moti'. ti to non concur was agreed to, and the committee rose and reported its act on to the House. The recom mendation of the committee as to the n'ni r amendments was carried out fr).l the amendments were non con cun ed in. Mr. Sajers, of Texas, offered a rps okition 'Isolating that the lilouse will 1'ieist upon its disagreement to Sen it e amendments numbers 2G, 27, 33 and 35 (relating to foi tifications and ordnance), and that the House rt quests conference thereon, and further declar ing that it is the judgment of the House that the managers on the part of .the House should insist on disagreement and should not consent that appro priations for fortifications should be placed on the army bill, -as ;that sub ject has been referred to the commit tee on appropriations, and all such appropriations should be placed on the fortifications bill. !

PBODCCISO SECTION AT TUB MKBCY OF THE MONSTER. Hy Ti-le iiraph to Uie Newt and Observer. St Louis, Mo., Aug. 1. It now seoms that the jute combine has se cured sufficient control of baggii g manufactures to control the market. It iu claimed that Warren, Jones and Gratz are at the head of the trust, and they decline to deny or affirm the statement. They own the Southern and Standard mills of St. Louis snJ mills at Muncil, Ind. Several of the largest Eastern mills are in the com bine, the most prominent being L. Waterbury & Co. and Nevins lfc Co , oT Boston. The mills shut down are at Su Louis; Peru, Ind ; the Crescent Jute Company, New Orleans; W. J. Tar p & Co., Louisville; the Hart Bil ging Co , Ilrookljn, N. Y , and a num ber of small mills in Illinois and Indiana. The output of all the mills. is fifty million yards of bagging sufficient to cover a crop of soven. million bales of cotton. The present crop is expected to exceed seven millions and the demand for bagging will be brisk. The Ludlow Bagging Company, of Boston is the only concern of any magnitude run ning independently and its output is but six m llion yards, nearly all of which has already been placed at about seven cents. The price fixed by the combine is 11 J cents or an ad ditional clear profit of 4J cents per yard. There is no scarcity of raw material to justify the increase, but the cotton producing section seems to be at the mercy of the combine. Sictnlre Heat In Kansas City.

Washington ("or Baltimore Hun. In the Senate the Republicans grow so bold as to propose to crowd the direct tax bill, appropriating $20, 000,000 on to the sundry civil appro priation bill. i'To do the thing hand somely" it was' also proposed to add to the same bill something over $9, 000.000 for public buildings through out the various State., in addition to what nas already ben appropriated for public buildings. Senator bpooner was selected to pilot these gigan .ic schemes through. He first gave notice of the direct tax amendment, and proceeded to intro duce daily several public building amendments, giving n otice that at the proper tints he would call them up in the Senate for action. He would have been successful so far as the Senate is concerned had "not special a' tent on been drawn to the enormity ot tne proposition by Democratic Senators. The tirct test was made on the Atchison (Kansas) public build ing amendment', and the Senators, at least a majority of them, saw a', once that it would never do to open the doors of the treasury to the public build ng promoters, so the amend ment was voted down. Senator Spooner saw that he was probably going too farso he gave notice that he would not press the ether amend ments under his care' The fight on -the direct tax amend ment was brief, but decisive. As soon as it had been read for informa tion, Senator Harris raised a point of order against it on the ground that it was. general legislation. The President pro tempore, Mr. Ingalls, promply sustained the point of order, and the friends of the direct tax bill in the Senate and the numerous inter esiea attorneys in tne galleries were so surprised at the rapidity with which the subject was disposed of that they did not recover from the shock in season to enter an appeal from the decision of the chair. It was supposed that a protracted figh would occur over the proposition and the amendment would finally be sustained, and a numbci of persons who aie deeply interested in the mat ter were on hand to watch the prog ress and the result of thia debate The revised statu es were overhauled, the rules of the Senate were carefully scanned by senators, but no attemDt was made to override the ruling the en air.

Charlotte Chronicle, Ut When Captain Kirkiand, conductor of the passenger train from Atlanta arrived here at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, he reported to the train dis uatcher that taere waa a rough Bouthern axniwV3 er- l ceptibly as the" paseea that place. I Later in the morning a telegram was received here stating that Captain ' Kirkland's train had run over ant killed a colored man named Tom RichardB at Buffalo bridge. The track was all right, but what the con ductor and crew of the train thought a rough place in the track, was noth ing more than the wheels of the car grinding a human body to pieces. It transpires that the colored man was stealing a ride oa the t.ain, and was seated on a brake beam under the baggage car, rfnd it ia supposed that he lost : his footing and fell under the wheels as the train neared the bridge. Capt. Geo. Roberts was in the cab, and he says that he did not see any one on the track, noither did he notice any jar of his engine while appruiic'''g or pass ing the bridge. Had tho gine run over the man, its ponderous weight would have crushed his body so that no jolt would have been felt by those on the cars. The jolt was felt by those on board the baggage car and the Becond-claes car, so it is believed the man fell from the forward trucks of the baggage car. Capt. Kirkiand reports that his train was fairly in fested by tramps, beating their way from Greenville, and that be bad to drive them off sev-rnl i-s . Once the engineer lighted bin tl wnbeau and went forward to .drive them from the pilot of the engine. The darkey on the. trucks, however, was overlooked, and rode on to his terrible fate.
