SasATa. -Mr. Hoar offered a resolution caliiog the attention of the President re spectfully to the resolution of tL Senate of the 28 th of August request ing him to communicate to the Senate oopies of all communications ad dressed by his direction to the gov ernment of Great Britain remon strating against certain unfair treat ment of American . citizens, and re questing him to furnish such infor mation as soon as possible in order that it may be considered in actiqg on pending legislation. ! Mr. Vest suggested that . the reso lution lie over till tomorrow, because it seemed to contain an insinuation of intentional delay on the part of the administration. He presumed that it was not so. It was only nine days since the resolution was adopted. He had no doubt that the Secretary of State could give some good reason for not sending the papers. Mr. Hoar Let it lie over. I think, however that the administration might have got its eyes open in nine days. Mr. Vest-r-That remark is exceed ingly witt and facetious. I do not kno what the facts are. The resolution Was laid over. The Chinese exclusion bill was taken up and Mr. Sherman spoke for some time in deprecation of the haste on the part of the Senate, calling at tention to the fact that neither house of Congress possessed any information beyond a mere, rumor that the treaty had been rejected, and expressing the opinion that it would be found that the treaty had aotually been ratified. He therefore asked the Senate to let the bill stand over for a day . ot two till the facts were ascertained. He asked that, by unanimous consent, the .bill might be informally laid aside. - Mr. Stewart objected. Mr. Piatt said that if the bill were pressed to a vote he i would vote for it, but he should do it under protest He did not like the way the bill had eome before Congress, and he wished to say so as emphatically as he could. While Mr. Jflatt was speaking one of the president's secretaries ap peared and announoed "several mes sages in 1 writing." It turned out, however, that among the messages there was not one in j answer to Mr. Sherman's resolution! of yesterday. - r Mr. Piatt then went on with his re marks. If the President had notice. government had rejected -the treaty, that notice had been studiously kept and concealed from every Republican member of, the Senate and from every Republican. . v. Mr. Gray remarked that if any such notice had been reoeived it had beec kept just as studiously from every Democratic Senator.! lie knew of no; ground on which the 8enator was au- thonxed to make sucn a remarx. Mr. Sherman "A gentlemen who has had business witn the Chinese legation told me that he did not be- lieve that tne legation nao iniorma tion of the rejection of the treaty;: that the Chinese minister is on nis way, here, and that there has been no objection I (so : v far' i as ' known) to the amendments ox tne treaty, On the contrary the ? minister himself asserted to them at the timst they were offered j and it was pre sumed as a matter pf course, that the treaty would be ratified. I feel free tossy Georgia nication President of the United States in re gard to the treaty." 'The debate was continued by Sena tors Plumb, Brown, Reagan, Call, Mor gan and Blair. : j ' . ; Mr. Brown repudiated the idea that the bill was an administrative meas ure.

Surgeon General Hamilton returned to Washington last night from a visit to Florida and Georgia. In speaking of his visit to an Associated Press re porter this afternoon he said: "Camp Perry is to be enlarged and arrange ments have been made for the erec tion and furnishing of a number iof small wooden houses known as 'rail' road houses, rive will be put up today, ten tomorrow and an equal number ! from day to day hereafter until a sufficient number have been established to accommo date all who eome to the camp. It is proposed to double the capacity of the camp and to improve the servioe as much;' as possible. 1 am satisfied, after personal inspection, that the stories published regarding the con dition of the camp are gross exagger ations, based on a desire to break down the regulations requiring ten days' detention. A yellow fever camp has been established about half a mile from Camp Perry for the treatment of sneh cases of yellow fever as may de velop among the refugees. There werej two cases 'under treatment when I! was there. There were 145 persons at muster at 9lW$, ZVn JSZ$7 .morning, dav and one person was discbareoa! There were also five persons returned to Jacksonville for insubordination at the fever hospital. If there are any imnrboar characters at the oamo.it certainly is not the' fault of the Gov ernment I told the authorities 1st Jacksonville that if they sent disre putable;i people to the camp they could not criticise us for their pres ence. It seems that while my oourse in this matter has been very unsatis factory to the people of Jacksonville, it has been entirely satisfactory i to everybody else. Iam constantly ' in receipt iiof communications like this one from Mayor Reese, of Mont gomery: i i "In the name of the citizens of Montgomery, I return you most grateful thanks for the energy dis played in trying to suppress me yel low fever ua Florida., Your recent orders in the establishment of refu- hearth approval of the entire State.'

Br Telegraph to ttaeHi and Observer. Chicago, Sept. 6 A special from Si Augustine, Fla, sajs : A i letter has been received in this city disclos ing a terrible state of affairs in the town of Bajard, a small settlement on the line of the Jacksonville and St Augustine Railroad, about twenty miles north of here. William Ortgus, the son of a farmer lining at Sampson, five miles from Bayard, had occasion to visit the latter place. On n earing the settlement he was attracted by a strong stench emanating'from the vi cinity oi a nouse supposed to be va cant. . Through curiosity he pro ceeded to investigate. On rea chine the house a ghastly spectaole met hisj eyes. Stretched ou a couch was the body of a woman and in the same room were the bodies of five children. They had evidently been dead several days. Ine boy, on realizing the hor ror of the scene, fled, and mounting his hone, rode back to his home and told the startling story. As St. Augustine is strictly quarantined against Bayard and that vicinity, the news did not reach here until several days after the occurrence. The coun try people are horror-stricken and even if it were known that any one was occupying the houBeit is unlikely that any one of them could have been induced to go near it if he knew there was a case of yellow fever. It is sup posed that the unfortunates were ref ugees from Jacksonville and were stricken with the disease after leav ing that town.

Mr. John W. 8tarnes, recently nom inated for the Senate by the Demo crats, has, in consequence, resigned his office of superintendent of publio schools. The cause of education loses a brilliant light, indeed; one that has impressed his individuality deeply and strongly upon the peda gogic profession of the State. He enters the field iof politics now, and will be heard from upon the floor of the Senate next winter, if he secures the honored seat for which the Dem ocrats of this district have seen fit to name him.

Tbe County Commissioners held their regular meeting today. ; There is a little spark of interest may it become a flame in the prospect of a railroad through the centre of the oounty. The commissioners' room today was crowded by outsiders who pressed in to hear the formal presen tation by Col. Beasley, of Oxford, of the petition of some hundred free holders, preying that the question of I railroad or no railroad be submitted to the voters of the oounty. The proposed road is to run from Reidsnlle, on the Piedmont Air-Line, via Yanceyville to a point on the Ral eigh A Gaston. From Reidaville it will run west to a point on the East Tennessee, Virginia 8t Georgia Road, thus opening direct communication between Norfolk, Va., and Memphis, Tenn.
