' CONGRESS. iEOCEKDINGS YESTERDAY .SENATE AND HOUSE. IN TUE MATTER Or OVERHEAD ILECTBIO POSTPONEMENT OF THH FISH- i ERIE8 TREATY DEFEATED THE rORTTFICATIO BILL PASSED OTHER N1WS. By Tdegraph to tbe New aod Obserrer. Washington, August 16 Senate A resolution concerning tbe erection of electric overhead wires for a street railway was taken .up. Mr. Morgan spoke of an electric steel railway in operation for the last two years in 1 Montgomery, Ala. He said the over head wires were great encumbrances; to the streets and excessively danger- ous. The Governor of Alabama rej cently nearly lost his life by his horoe stepping on a fallen wire, the hors being instantly killed. Since then thej citizens of Montgomery have been: gingerly in their patronage of the road and were now trying to get riq of the electric power and substitute' horse power or cable power, ki ter a long discussion, during which tbe danger to life from overhead wire was Bet forth, the matter went over until tomorrow. The Senate then (under the ordef of yesterday) went into open execu tive session on the fisheries treaty and voted on Mr. Morgan's resolution to postpone till December next. Res olution disagreed to yeas 2i, nays 27. Mr. Reagan took the floor to speak on the President's annual message. Mr. Allison.desiring action on the con-, ference report on army the appropria-" tion bill, represented the necessity for disposing of the appropriation bill in preference to other matter for which there was no immediate pressure. He said that six weeks of the current fiscal year had already passed by without any regular appropriation for the army. He would not, however, frinsist on going on with the confer ence report now, except with the as sent of the Senator from Texas. Mr. Ren g an said that he would not delay action on the conference report more than an hour, and he preferred to proceed with his remarks now and did so. The conference report on the army appropriation bill was then taken up and after discussion by uessrs. uor man, Chandler, Allison, Beck, Haw- j lev. Dawes and Plumb, was concurred I in veas 30, nayB 11. The House fortification bill was presented and referred to the com mittee on appropriations. The Senate then 'at 4 15 p. m. went ia open executive session on the fisheries treaty, and the presiding offi cer directed that the treaty be read by sections. The fiiBt article having been read, Mr. Gibson rose to ad dress the Sena e ' Mr. Hoar inquired whether the reading of the treaty by articles ought not to be continued till some amendment was offered .to the partic ular article when of course that amend ment would be debated, lbe pre- idinc officer directed that the rule bearing oh that question be read. Mr- Chbson then proceeded witn his remarks, and after speaking a half an hour he moved that the pending treaty be committed to the commit tee on foreign relations with instruc tions to report such amendments to the treaty as would remove the am- bi cm ties in it or else to report a plan of arbitration for the determi nation and settlement of all the diffi culties in connection with the fishery matter. Mr. Frve remarked that there did not seem to be much more' debate to take place on the treaty and he asked unanimous consent to an order that all debate on the treaty shall close Monday p. m. next and that a vote on the treaty and on such amendments as might be proposed to it should commence at 12 o clock Tuesday next. Mr Morean. "We Will take that; proposition under advisement, till tomorrow," The Senate then at 5 50 adjourned- HOUSE.

Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, called np. the resolution previously reported from the committee on invalid pen sions assigning May j 21 and 3d for the consideiation of general pension legislation with a proposed amendment changing tie dates to August ztHb and 30th. Vr. Morrill Rave a resume of the vai ious measures of general char acter which had been reported from the committee on invalid pensions ana urged the necessity of hxing a time for their consideration. Mr. Morrill demanded the previous question and. the vote resulted yeas lib, nays 1. rio quorum, and a call of the House was ordered. The roll call showed the presence of 174 mem bets, and the morning hour having expired, the resolution went over. .Mr- bpringer attempted to secure consideration of the Oklahoma bill, but tbe point 01 no quorum was raised against him, and he was forced to abandon- the attempt. Mr. Burns, of Missouri, brought forward the deficiency appropriation bill, and moved that the House go into committee of tbe whole for its con.' sideration, but on a division the point of no quorum was raised by Mr. Ly man, of Iowa, and the call of tbe roll failed to procure the requisite nun ber, the vote standing yeas 142, najs 3. Another call of the House was or dered. The call showed an at end- ance of 153 members, 10 lees than quorum. -Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, there upon made a motion revoking all leaves of absences except those granted on account of sickness, the reyecation t) take effect at the ex pir ation of live days. Much opposition was manifested to this action, it be ing contended that such revocation would work an injust'ee to tbe mem bers wbp had left the city relying on their leaves of absence. Mr. lilount, of Georgia, thought that there was no occasion for the harsh and unseemly measure pro- posf d by tbe gentleman f 1 om Iowa. The reason that there were so many absent was that the House had little business to transact, and could be ready for adjournment within three days. On motion of Mr. Cox, of New York, " r. , Weaver's motion was tabled. -Mr. Weaver gave notice that he would on Monday next if he thi House was without a quorum ie ne w-. his motion. .

Many killed 1 and in jured are reported. Physicians were called for from Chicago and a relief train was sent to the scene of the dis aster. At the offices of the Illinois Central the Assistant Superin'endent said there was no loss of life so far as he had been advised by train men at the wreck, though he believed there were some persons seriously injured. The accident, he said, occurred in this way : About S o'clock the Cincinnati passenger train of the Illinois Cen tral, due here at 6.45 a. m , ran into a freight train of the Grand Trunk at South Lawn, about fifty miles from the city. As soon as intelligence cf the disaster reached the city the Master Mechanic of the railroad started for the scene on a special wrecking train. It is now stated that two postal clerks and three passen gers are badly hart, and that all oth ers escaped injury. Rolling Hill Skat Down. By Te'esraph to tbe News and Observer. Chicago, Aug. 16. The plant of the North Chicago Rolling Mill Com pany at North Chicago is to be shut down for sometime, f if teen hundred men have been paid and laid off. The blast furnaces are unaffected by the oraer ana win continue in active op eration. The ciuee of the unexpected turn 01 anaira due directly to the lack bf orders on tho books of the North Chicago Company. Manager C. E- Potter said: There is no par ticular reason for any excitement or alarm over the closing down of the mills, The suspension of work is bat a temporary one, and affects but a part of the plant. The railroads are withholding their orders on account of the present state of politics. As our deliveries have been made it became necesearv to shut down for the time being. We have some August deliveries to make and it it quite probable that we shall resume the latter part of this month. The olat furnaoes will continue to operate as usual.

Until a few days ago the f aimer was rather disheartened over the unfavor able prospect. The continued drouth gave grounds for anxiety and serious apprehension. But now the outlook is brighter and tbe husbandman more hopeful. The man of toil (Utiles once more as he looks over his! fields of growing crops, lhey are refreshed and revived by the good season of rains.

It is conceded that scarcely more than a half crop of corn will be made. The dry weather dam aged it very materially.

Congressman Sunset Coxj says one little sentence from his lips would adjourn the House instantly. What Mr. Cox means is best explained by the following statement made by him to a llerald representative today : "Last xnursday, Mr. uox began, "I ran down to Morehead City, N. C , to obtain a few days' rest, j Return ing to Washington yesterday my train was detained at Greensboro to await the arrival of the Jacksonville and Florida Express. My ; presence on the train had been telegraphed ahead and when I alighted at Greens- boio I found a large crowd ip attend ance, who insisted upon my address ing them. I spoke for about thirty minutes to as intelligent and respon sive an audience as I have ever faced. "When the Jacksonville train came in and we started North again I nc ticed that I had fallen among the most scared and most forloru looking people on earth. Suddenly! I heard one man propose to another that tbey should go forward, but his friend re plied that they would not be permit ted to.. This rather surprised me up. til I found upon inquiry that the ma jority of my fellow-paBsengers were flying from the plague-stricken city of Jacksonville. "They were all bound ifor New York, and I imagine that half of them are carrying the germs of tbe yellow fever in their systems. This is what I mean in saying that a word from me would adjourn the House in stantly, but out ef regard for the feel ings of my colleagues I wi;!l forbear to speak of it."
