Mr; Teller mentioned the remarkable fact that the bill had been passed by the House j without reference to a committee, and that it hat t?en introduced j not by a member of the coninoif.ee on foreign affairs, bu$ bj a man who, iq no sense and under uo circumstances, had a right to pk for American labor. As the rietiitor from South Carolina (Mr. Uutler) had said yesterday with great frankness, the bill was a political movement. He did not find it stated in the record that the bill bad been drawn in the office of the Sol citor Geueral, but he heard h so stated outside, and that it was sent down from the Executive Department iu hot baste to be passed. It did not take much to make men believe that, there was something in the quick pass age of the bill through the House more than a desire to protect American labor against the incursion of Asiatic labor. If he were to look over the House to select a man who would most fitly represent the American people who toil, he would hardly se lect a man who bad succeeded in get ting that bill through the House in hot hat ti He had only succeeded because he was High Priest in the Democratic church, and because he represented the j President more than any other man in the Democratic party. It was said of him (Scott)' that he had given ten times as much money to the Democratic campaign fund as the President had given. I He (Teller) did not know. how true that; was, but he -knew that if that gentleman chose to give f 100,000 to the Demccrattc cam paign mnd be bad a tight to do it, as ie was said to hve made millions of dollars out of the laboring men of the Isountry. Iu this connection Mr. Tel ler sent to the clerk's desk and had cad Mr Scott's autobiogrsphical sketch in the Congf essioual directory, i Presiding Offiiejr (Mr. Ingallr) The chair akes occasion to rt-mark J,bar, while it ii undoubtedly in oidtr o retr to the acts of the $ther U 'use of ' Congress, gm pally, it is a violation of privilege io refer to the individual character or io the acts or conduct of members of tha. body. It interferes with the th iol ate independence which ought to IxisL between the) two bouses, aud She chair thinks that perhaps this debate has gone farther than it should liave gone. General parliamentary law on this subject lis so well define (hat the chair thinks it unnecessary de to it farther. air. Teller I will npt address my self any farther ti any member of Congress, but to a person acting in auoiher capacity as a member of the Democratic national committee. I At the close of Mr. Teller a speech t)ie Chinese bill went over without action and the Senate after a ehott session at 6 05 adjourned. I BorsK. Mr. Keller, of Pennsylvania, of fered a resolution directing the spe cial committee- investigating the con struction of the new library building to inquire whether any member of he House has, by himself or in combina tion witn otners, nougat- Dy persua sion, intimidation or corrupt or im proper, means to j influence J. L. naithmeyer, the - architect, in the re lection, acceptance br approval of in ferior or improper material to be used i the construction of the bu lding. In response to a question by Mr. Rlount, of Georgia, Mr. Kelley ata ed that he made the proposition to the House on information which he re ceived in the early part of the session, and which had been; corroborated by increasing testimony and additional f lets, lie would name the member when he appeared j before the com mittee. At Mr. Blount's suggestion the res olution was amefaded so as to pro vide that the inquiry shall be made by a new special committee distinct from i hat now investigating the con duct of persons engaged in the con struction of the library building As sQ amended it waa adopt xl. . IMr. Kelley resisted all efforts o in duce him to name the member he was after until he came before the com mittee. At that time he would do so. iOn motion of Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina, a bill was passed for the relief of certain: persons who paid additional taxes oh tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, assessed against them under the act of March 3, 1875; also a ill for the establishment of a dis trict and circuit court at Johnson City, Tenn ; also a bill punishing by a fine cf not more than $1,000 or im jpriBonment for not more than three years dealers and pretended dealers in counterfeit money or other fraudu lent devices for using the United States mail. The morning hour having expired, Mr. Townshend submitted the con ference report on the army appropri ation bill. An agreement nas been reached on all the amendments except tnbee relating to the establishment of Igun factory and manufacture oi ordnance. A lurtner conference was ordered on these amendments. : fThe House then proceeded, ss the spacial order, to consideration of the retaliation bill. ! PtMr. Belmont, chairman of the com' xnfttee on foreign affairs, opened the dejbats by recalling the fact that he had introduced a bill last year similar to that under consideration approaching tha terms of the Spending measure anil reoommendinsr its Dsssasre.

The treat , so caulullv prepart d by able and conscientious gonlk-meD, wae rejected by the unanimous vote of the Republican Senators without ; an effort to recast or amond it. While the motive which prompted this ac ion might not be popularly understood, it was equivalent to giv ng notion to the President and the country that no trf-aly which could have been negot ated in regard to the Cacadiau troubles would be detuned i-atisfac tory by the Republicau Snpate lhat the time for negotiation was over and the time for re alittion had come. There was nothing left for the Presi dent now but reialiation. At some length Mr. McCreary described the motive of the various treaties aud toid of the causes which led to their nego- .istipn and- revocation. He also touched upon the ou-rages committed on A nerican fishery vessel by Cana dian officials. The bill now un der consideration enlarged the President's power of retaliation. It wai a strong but appropriate measure. The existing law did hot touch the transportation question nor did it authorize him to meet discrimination against our ships in Canadian canal?. He claimed that he waa able to show that a tide 29 of the Tteaty of Washington "(which it was aesetted by some persons was in conflict with the proposed legisla- on) was not in force. Congress Should not forget our obligation to the hundred thousand- meu ehgtged n the fisheries, a number Kufhieutaj U IU.U1D lULCira. IU lUCII 1TQII.IV.UUI legislation sbou'd prove that we are in earnest. The bill waa not a War measure, it was a : peace measure. When it became law be hoped that the usual wisdom of the Canadian and English govern ments would manileet itself and that the existing difficulties would be early adjusted.. But let the result be What it might the President would be supported by the people of the Uni ted states w thout regard to party. There would be no division on sec tional lines, but the men of the South and the men of the North would stand shoulder to shoulder in solid phalanx to defend American rights and American honor. (Applause.) Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, addressed the House, and commented on the fact that the President's fisheries message had been received with partisan ap plause and that one Democratic member had declared that it Was a good campaign docu ment. He was not willing io ao cept the proposition, coming even from a friend of the President, that the message was an electioneering device. It must still be considered a Presidential message. Mr. Hitt went into an exhaustive argument to show tbat Article 29 of the Treaty of 1871 had not beau ub rogated, and state ! that last jear the President had approved of the Bel mont bill, which contained an express recognition of the 29th article. . Mt: Chipman, cf Michigan, declared that 1 the honor of the country must always be asserted with that decorum which lecame her dignity She was so stiong that she might be forbear ing without being suspected of cow ardice, and patient without incurring the reproach of ignorance. It was in that spirit that the United States ought to treat the Canadian people It; was to the interest of both nations that their relations should be frieudly. Perhaps the Canadians had mistaken patience for fear. Perhaps the intense "jingoism of the party in power in the Dominion made it belive ih its power to drive hard bargains. How ever that might be, American citizens had been unjustly treated, and he fa vored the pending bill which gave the President power to resent such treat ment. Alluding to the suggestion that two years' notice should be given 1 1 England of the proposed action as matter of diplomatic courtesy, he' ; gave utterance to the follow ing epigram which was received with applause and laughter: "Ice nearer a man approaches the diplo mat in form the nearer he is to a fool, and the nearer he approaches one in substance the nearer he is to a knave," He did not want, he said, to be more polite to England than; self renut-ci i quired. Her foot had been on every weak neck. She had pressed her interests by the brutality of force or the meanness of diplomacy, as the circumstances of the case required. Everywhere she had been selfish and toilless, bhe was the monster money chancer in God's temple of earth. What the honor of our country re quired he would concede to her and not one atom more. This bill was in the pathway of duty and he would vote for it with a stout heart and a clear cn science. Pending further debate the House at ft. 20 adiourued. Messrs. Phelps and Belmont I will speak on the subject tomorrow. i ARKANSAS SOLID. VUV.

HS HDLDJ HIS WITS AND CHILD OUT OF A WISDOW Hf AD DOWNWABD. thrilling sceno was witnessed Sunday night by pedestrians who were; passicg along Springfield ave- n'vfe, Newark, N. J., shortly ailer ten o'clock. From the third story win dowWf No. 83 the figure of a woman was suspended head down, holding in her arms an infant only a few months old. In the window over- head and clinging with a tenacious grip to the limbs of the woman, stood a young man in his sleeves, his face and general appearance indicative of the wildest fury. Scream after scream was Omitted from tne Hps of tne wo man hanging there in such deadly peril of her life, and in a moment a d'jnfle throng of horror-stricken spec tators was oongrega'ed below. . . A number of men made their way np the stiira leading to the third floor and entered the room. The man at tha window paid no attention to the intruders, but appeared to take the most fiendish delight in listening to the piercing cries of the woman whose life be held as by a thread. As if bjf a preconcerted arrangement two jf the rescuers cautiously ap proached the window and when di rectly behind the maniac cleverly clutched the feet of the woman as they dangled from the window and called to her to have courage. ,At the same moment, fire men sprarjg upon tho would be murderer and bore him tu the tr round. He was speedily vurpowered and securely bound and then, Tfith the utmost care, the almost exhausted woman was lifted in safety within the window. The child, to whom she had clung, was siaken from her arms when within reach of the eager hands stretched forth to save it. The unhappy wife and mother was tenderly carried to a sofa, where the strain .upon nature proved too much and Bhe fainted. Dr. Lehlbach, of Washington street, was summoned ard restoratives were applied. When she had sufficiently recovered she stated that the man who had attemDted to take her life aud the life cf her child was her hus band, Max Groose, a German jeweller, twenty-nine years of age. For sev eral days past he had seemed to be unusually irritable and, contrary to his customary habits, had treated her witn great cruelty. She did not sus pect that his mind was, affected until last night, when, in a fury over some unknown matter he suddenly seized the child and lifted it from its crib and rushed lor the window, with the evident intention 'of casting it out upon the sidewalk below. Mrs. U loose, a delicate woman of twenty-four years, had sprung after her husband, and with a strength born of des'pair had succeeded in tearing the babe from his arms.

The Democratic county convention held at Went worth today was one of the most enthusiastic jconventions ever held in Rockingham county. A large crowd was present notwith standing a pouring down rain all the morning. Men swam their horses (over the streams) in order to get to the convention. But for the inces sant rain the largestoonvention that ever assembled m the county would have been present. The following ticket was chosen with unanimity from one end to the other amid enthusiasm snd perfect harmony: A. L. Moore, for the Sen ate; T. W. Hopkins and G. T. Walker for the House of Representatives; A. H. Galloway, Sheriff; R. J. Leweilyn, Register; A. J. Whitmore, Treasurer; Thos. W. Hancock, Surveyor; John Mitchell, Coroner. This is a strong ticket and one that will win, and you may count on old Rockingham as the banner county of the second district of Noi th Carolina. ,The prohibition meeting, which was to have been held today at Went worth, was a complete failure. Only one person present, and he was more wet than dry. From all appearances there will be the largest crowd ever assembled in Reidsville at a political speaking on next Friday to hear the joint discus sion between Fowle and Dockery. rh IaUr-Stata Faratn' Caareatloa. Cor. ot the News and Observer. The two most interesting and in structive discussions had at the late meeting of the Inter-State Farmers' Convention were on the necessity for encouraging and protecting sheep nusoandry, and now best to carry on a college of agriculture and mechanic arts, such as the State of North Car-; olina proposes to establish at Raleigh, and such as is now in operation at Columbus, Mississippi. The remarks of Dr. Henry, a large and prosperous farmer of Mississippi, and the Hon. Mr. Hoar, the Commissioner of Agri culture of the State of Tennessee, were especially instructive and sugges tive. Dr. Henry was a member of the Mississippi legislature and on the committee to visit and examine into the woiking of the agricultural col lege of that State. He stated that of the 28 graduates of that institution 26 became lawyer or doctors and not one a farmer. Mr. Hoar asserted that the Agricul tural College of Tennessee had not as yet graduate! a single student. Both the above gentlemen seemed to think their respective State Institu tions for the education of young men to become farmers and mechanics are a failure. If those in cha-ge of ''our Agricultural College will profit by the experience in other States where these institution have been projected, the late meeting of these Inter-State Farmers will have done the State of North Carolina incalculable good in letting us know what mistakes have been made and how to avoid them. The result, up to now, seems to be one and the same. The boys who go to those colleges, instead of acquiring a taste for agriculture or some of the mechanical arts or trades, drift into the professions and become lawyers and doctors. Some, 'tis true, are heard of after wards as arcnitects and civil engi neers, but the technological schools of the country are much better fur rushed to give such educations than a colletre of agriculture br mechanic arts can be. How to protect our ag ricultural college from a fate like tbat of other institutions which hare the same end in view in the education of students, viz: to make scientific, prac tical farmers and skilled, expert me chanics out of those sent to the insti tution and educated at the public ex pense is the problem. I beg to sub mit the following suggestions: As it is not designed to make literary or professional men of these students, eschew literature, the classics and belles lettres in the curriculum. As far as possible mke apprentices of the boys. Benefit in this matter by the experience of the past, and treat the boys as apprentices and not col lege young men. But above all, as the sine qua non, without whioh no boy shall be admitted to the institu tion, require every one to enter into froper stipulations that for a certain ength of time, say five or seven years, after he has .graduated, he will work in that employment in which he has been taught at the col lege. If he has been taught with a view to becoming a farmer, re quire him to follow farming five or seven years after he graduates. If he has been taught with the especial ob ject of pursuing a tra 'e, require him to follow that calling within the State for five or seven years after gradua tion. It is not considered a hard condition to require a graduate at West Point to Berve in the army so many years after graduation as a re turn tof the country for bis free edu cation. The double good of such a requirement will be that when a young man has pursued a' calling from five to seven years after he has attained manhood, he is not likely to change bis avocation ; and what we want in North Carolina is educated farmers and skilled mechanics, and not liter ary or professional men.

BaltImobe, Md., Sept. 4. Shortly before aoon today the bodies of fire men Thomas Wagner and John Acomb jwere taken from the ruins of the Sharp street building in which their lives were sacrificed on Sunday morning. Their comrades have been searchingfor their remains constantly since the building collapsed, and had begun to fear that the two bodies had been consumed by the flames, but notwithstanding the intense heat to which they had been subjected, they were recognizable. The body of Acomb was standing nearly erect, just as he had gone down the fatal stair way in the crash, and had both hands outstretched as though to protect his head from falling timber. Immedi ately beneath him lay Wagner, stretched upon the floor with one arm bent over his head. The bodies of the seven men who were caught by the falling walls have now all been reoovered.
