THAT MESSAGE ARBIVES THE
RETALIATION BILL IN TH
HOF8E OTHER NIWS.
hf TeieKTaph t ths Hewn and Observer..
Wa8hikoton, Sept. 5 eSate.
The resolution heretofore offered by
Mr. Vest for inquiry into the case of
a Senate official (McKee) publishing
a campaign book was taken up, and
at the suggestion of Mr. Mitchell was
informally laid aside.
Mr. Hoar's resolution, offered j
terday, calling the attention of the
President to the previous recjuest of
the Senate to be furnished with cop
ies of communications to the British
Government in regard to the; fishe
riop, was taken up, and, at tne sug
gestion of Mr. V est, was laid aside
informally. Mr. Vest stating his un-i
dorstanding that a message would be
received in about half an hour, "and,
be added significantly "on this sub
ject." The Chinese exclusion bill
was then taken up and Mr. Vest, re
ferring to Mr. Dolph's denial of his
statement that seven Chinamen had'
been naturalized in Indianapolis in
1876 (under the superintendence of
Mr. Miller, law partner of Mr. Harris
on) and had voted the Republican
ticket, read a letter which he had re
ceived giving the particulars of. such
naturalization and showing that the
only mistake he (Vest) had made was
m giving the date as l7b instead pi
1880. He also sent to the clerk s
desk and had read corroborative affi
davits. He added that instead of Us be-
ing a fact that no uninamen naa ever
been naturalized in the United states.
some twenty of them had been natu
ralized in State courts in Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Indiana and had
been allowed to vote.
Mr. Dolph made the point that the
records and documents were not evi
dence of naturalization of the China
men but only of the declaration of
intention. The fact of naturalization
was one to be pet formed by a Court,
while the declaration of intention
might .be made before a clerk 1 or
notary.
5 Mr. Vest admitted as a lawyer, that
the acts referred to did not constitute
naturalization in the legal sense, but
he said in Indiana the declaration of
intention conJerred the right to vote.
:Mr. Dolph asked Mr. Vest whether
there was anything in the affidavits
to' sustain the statement that Harri
son's law' partner had anything to do
with the naturalization of f the Unina-
men in Indianapolis.
Mr- Vest admitted that there wa
not. On tbe contrary, he had learned
that neither ! cf the lawyers of Mr.
Harrison had anything to do with it.
At this point a message was re
ceived from the President of; the
United States and laid before! the
Senate, enclosing (as the only offioial
information at band in regard to the
Chinese treaty) copies of communica
tions ; from Mr. Denby, minister to
Pekin, the first, dated September; 6 tb,
in these words : "Believe the treaty
bas been rejected. Have demanded,
from tbe foreign office positive infor
mation some days since. Ho infor
mation bas been yet received"; and
the! second, dated September 6th, in
these words :i "Treaty postponed for
farther deliberation. 5 j
After the reading of the message
the, discussion of the bill proceeded,
Mr .', Mitchell taking the floor and in
sisting upon the propriety of pasting
the ibUl, even if it were an adminis
tration measure. The only criticism
he would make upon it was that it
did not go far enough. If he had his
will lie would make tbe exclusion ap
ply hot only to the four hundred mil
lion Chinamen in China, but to those
now in the United States.
The Chinese bill was passed by!the
Senate yeas 37, nays 3, (B.own, Hoar
and Wilson, of Iowa).
Mr. Blair moved to re consider the
votei "
pit. Mitchell was speaking rapidly
and vehemently when the gavel ijell,
and ike presiding officer put the
Question. "Shall the bill pass 1 '
Mr, Gorman; rose to speak, but had
got no farther than tbe words "Mr.
President, in i consideration of this
measure," when he .was stopped by
the announcement on the part of the
presiding officer that debate was hot
in order, unanimous consent having
been given yesterday that at 1 o'clock
today a vote should be taken on the
question, "Shall the bill pass ?" There
being some question as to the terms
of agreement, the report in the Record
was read.
Mr Gorman excused himself on the
ground that he was not present when
the agreement was made and was not
aware of it. He now moved that the
bill and the President's message be
referred to tbe committee on foreign
relations.
Mr.iTeller That is contrary to the
arrangement
Presiding otiioer rne chair holds
that the motion is in otder, and under
the rule, notwithstanding the agree
ment, the question was taken on Mr.
Gorman s motion and the result was
yeas 17, nays 19. No quorum. Messrs.
Hoar, f latt and Sherman votea wsin
the Democrats in the affirmative, and
Senators Berry; Payne, Turpie and
Vest with the Republicans in the neg
ative. Mr Morgan had voted "no,
but withdrew that vote because he
did not know how Mr. Evarta, with
whom he was paired, would vote.
On the call of the Senate forty-six
Senators answered to their names aad
the vote was again taken, resulting
in the defeat of .Vr. Gorman's mo
tions yeas 19, nays 20. Messrs.
lloar, Piatt and Sherman again voted
"aye" with the Democrats, ajjid
Messrs.! Barry, Payne, Turpie a$d
Vest "W' with the Republicans
The Question was then, taken cn the
passage of the bill and the result was
veaa i, nays 3. The negative
votes were given by Messrs. Brown,
Hoar and W dcon of Iowa. ,
Mr. Sherman did not vote at all
Mr. Blair asked the presiding offi
cer whether a motion to reconsider
I the vote, was in order and on being
! that motion He 6id that if it were
. reconsidered he would move an
j amendment to the bill providing that
; the act sbali cot take effect till the
bxpiration of iity days efter its
j passage unless tLe pending treaty
I shall be rejected by China within that
time but to taae enect immediately
on such rejection.
A general political discnsBion ioi-
lowed Mr. Blair s motion when it bad
felosed.
Mr. Teller moved, to lay on the
table Mr. Blair's motion to reconsider.
The vote resulted yeas 23, nays 11;
no quorum. A call of the Senate
having shown the presence of only
forty -four Senators, M r. Jones, of Ar
kansas, moved to adjourn.
Mr. Blair As the vote jast taken
is plainly indicative of the will of the
Senate I do not want to d-lay ac
taon and I therefore ak leave to with
draw the motion to reconsider.
Mr. Sherman I object.
. A vote was taken on the mo
tion 'o adjourn and it was de
feated, yeas 19, ;nays 22. A
vote was taken a second and th rd
time on the motion to lav on t'-ie table
the motion to consider, but each time
there was lack of a quorum Several
Senators took advantage of be
ihg paired to refrain from votiDg.
On the last of the votes the Sena
tors voting "No" were Meters. Blair,
Brown, Colquitt, Hoar, Reagan, Sher
man and W ilson, of Iowa, most of
the Democrats voting in the affirma
tive. j Finally the friends of the bill real
ized the uselessness of further at
tempts to end the matter, and the
Senate at 4 p. m. adjourned till Mon
day, leaving the bill passed, but the
motion to reconsider its passage
pending.

The House resumed consideration

this morning much refreshed after
enjoying nearly thirteen hours of
almost unbroken sleep. His physi
cian says he is much be'ter and will
suffer no ill effects from bis slight ill
ness. Breakfast will be served in his
parlor and he will probably spend the
day quietly in his room, though he
may take a drive about town.

Naw Toek, Sept. 7 Judge Thur
man is all right and his only regret is
that he was unable to speak last
night. He arose at noon and ex
presses himself as feeling well, ex
cept for a little weakness. Much anx
iety Las been felt throughout the
com. try regarding the Judge' o condi
tion and ne is very grateful to people
for their interest in him and wishes
it to be explained In them that there
is nothing in his condition to exoite
alarm. He has simply suffered from
an attack such as the strongest is lia
ble to and is now all right. Dr.
Goldthwaite, who is attending him,
visited him shortly before 10 o'clock
this morning and found him awake.
He said the Judge was feeling very
well but would not rise for breakfast
until noon. After breakfast he ex
pected to be strong enough to re
ceive a few callers. Dr. Goldthwaite
sajs Judge Thurman is a hale and
hearty old man, but that his travels
have simply tired him out. - It is ex
pected that he will be able to fidfll
Lis engagement at Newark. f?o opi
ates were administered to Judge
Thurman last night, his Bleep being

said he had administered no medicine
since he had departed for Madison

many enquiries after Judge Thurman a
health at the desk of the Fifth Ave

noon before the clerks were in pos
session of any information on tbe

Jnrfga Fowls and Col.

Cor. ot the News and Observer.
Roxbobo, Sept- 5, 1888.
Judge Fowle and Col. Docker y
spoke at Roxboro today to a large
audience the crowd being estimated
at 2,000. The Democratic clubs of
the county escorted Judge Fowle into
the totvn, with flags flying and the
greatest cheering and the procession
was a splendid one- The epeaJung
began at 1 o'clock. Mr. John F.
Woody introduced Uol. Doctery, who
spoke for an hour- His chief topic
was that the Uemoerats had not done
anything. At the conclusion of bis
speech Mr. John a- Cunningham in
troduced Judge Daniel G. Fowle. He
poke of him as being an honor to the
judicial bench and an ornament to
the bar of the State; that bo was the
candidate of the people, had always
been an advocate of civil liberty and
had at all times upheld the honor and
integrity of the laws of North Caro
lina. The Judge made a magnificent
speech, debating every point clearly,
and explaining to the people the is
sues of the campaign, lie showed
them that the Democratic party had
kept its pledges, that the Mills bill,
which was for the repealing of the to
bacco bx, had passed the Demo
cratic House and that the Presi
dent was ready to sign the bill
but for the Republican Senate whioh
would not pasB the bill. I never
heard the tariff made as plain. He
pointed out conclusively and to the
satisfaction of all how the people are
oppressed, and that the few were ben
efited at the expense of the people. He
then spoke of county government
and declared that as it now stood
it was for the best interests of the peo
ple of the State and should not be
chanred. He told the people that
Col. Dookery had voted for a colored
lawyer against a white man, who was
a farmer, which uol. i tocnery aia noi
deDy.
Our people were delighted with
Judge Fowle and I never saw a more
attentive or enthusiastic audi
ence. . He was frequently ap
plauded and ! the Democratic
partv in Person is aroused and
more united than it has been in years.
The Judge made a fine impression.
As a 'debater he is without a superior
in the State. He will carry Person
by a handsome majority. Judge
Fowle told tbe people that Col. Dock
ery was electioneering for himself as
a farmer at the expense of three mem
bers of;his ticket who are lawyers.
The Judge closed his speech amid
vociferous applause, such as has not
been heard in Person during thiB
great campaign.
After the Bpeaking was over, Judge
Fowleat in front of.lhe Court House
and shook hands with nearly every
white man present. Judge Fowle is the
great favorite in Person, and you
may count oh him for 500 majority.

town's churches and schools and
other evidences of refinement and
morality clearly indicate that Nashville
is on the up grade.
The building of the railroad from
Rocky Mount has done much to im-
Srove the business outlook and con
ition of that section of tbe 1 county
through which it runs and has given
Nashville ft boom.
A walk through the town with your
eyes open will show a fine corps of
business men and nice houses. I
made a note of some of the principal
ones. Among the merchants Messrs.
Battle & Co. and Boddie, Ward &
Co. take tbe lead. These gentlemen.
do a general mercantile business
which I was told was very extensive,
and seeping pace with the progress
of the town and county. Kicks Uros.
and C. L Boddie 4 Bros, supply the
town with confections. J. P. Arling
ton, the mayor of the town, keeps a
good livery stable. And by the way
I saw more nice buggies and carriages
in Nashville than in any -small town I
have visited. The horses of the coun
try are generally an index to the
prosperity, etc , of the farmers of the
country.
Mr. W. H. Wood keeps a good
hotel, at moderate charges. Drs. J.
J. Mann, J. M. Earle, B. N. Culpep
per, look after the health of the peo
ple, while Revs. J. M. Willougnby,
Baptist, and Betts, Methodist,
are the exponents of religion. Maj
Li. M. Oonyers is Superintendent of
Public Instruction, and also vice
President of the State Assembly of
Superintendents. Mr. P. H. Pender
is the versatile editor and publisher
of the Nashville Courier. Mr. Thomas
repairs watches, clocks, &o., and sup
plies the community with fine jewelry
at low prices. W. L. Thorpe, chair
man of the county, executive commit
tee, R. A. P. Cooley, and Ben. Taylor
mate ail the money they can prac
ticing law. They are popular and
successful. Mr. J. G. Sills, Register
of Deeds for the past six years, ib one
of the most popular men in the
county, and before this letter reaches
you will have been probably nomi
nated for the Senate
Dr. T. T. Ross, a gentleman every
inch of him, is Nashville s dentist
He has a very large practice.
Mr. V. B. Batchelor is the wealthiest
man of his section,-they say. He has
a magnificent estate just outside the
town, and also a large business in
town. He furnishes the whole coun
try with lumber of all sorts from his
large steam mill in town, and is also
building lar brick stores, &c
Tbe biggest thing in Nash county
is the gold mines. I met Mr. Camp
bell, the superintendent of the Mann-
Arrington mine, and one of the own
ers of the Oonyers mine. These mines
are being successfully worked. A
car-load of ore from the Conyers mine,
shipped recently to New York, sold
for $127 a ton. The impression
among experts is that there is a great
deal of undiscovered gold in old
Nash.
I spent one day at Philadelphia
Church, where Revs. Duke and liar
per were preaching to very large
audiences. Here I met many of the
best men of Nash county, whose
names I wish I could mention
i I desire to express my great appre
ciation of kindness shown me by Mrs.
Scott and her family, with whom I
had the pleasure of sojourning for a
few days. Cultivated, hospitable and
kind, they know how to treat a visi
tor. Long will I remember my pleas
ant stay with them.
Three cheers for Nashville ! May
prosperity and happiness abide con
unually with them.

RsmsviLLE, N. C, Sept 7. Messrs.
Fowle arid Dockery arrived last night,
the former by train-from Danville and
Jjockery by buggy, from Yancey
ville, with Mr. S. B. Adams, clerk of
Caswell Superior Court The weather
is wretched. There was a small crowd
yesterday in Yanceyville. Big pre
parations had been made here for re
ceiving Judge Fowle by the Cleveland
and Fowle Club. It was intended
to have a parade with beautiful girls
in floats, &o -, but overcoats and um
brellas are ijn demand. The candi
dates spoke; in Watt Bros.' Star
Warehouse, beginning at 1:30 p. m.
A good crowd was present for tbe
weather, with some attendance from
LeaksvUl, Ruffiu, Danville and other
points. Judge Fowle was escorted
in a carnatf e iirom tne noiei oy me

Settle. Dockery led off He pressed
tbe Democrats sorely on failing to
abolish tbe internal revenue and got
tbe laugh on Vance s recent revenue
speech as compared with his old grasr
hopper speeches, asking between
pauses, "Zeb, where are you?" But a
fellow in the rear of the audience turned
the shout against Dockery by singing
out "Who put the revenue there?
And who1 is! holding it there?" The
Democrats cheered and- shouted
Dockery was at home on the tariff, is
in good trim; and impressed the audi
ence as a forcible speaker.
Fowle. alwavs oortlv and hand
some, looks 'fully' himself, though
little hoarael and he complained o:
bis voice being bad.- He turned the
revenue racket on Dockery by citing
the Mills bill repealing tbe tobacco
tax. The President was waiting to
sign .it but! the Republican Senate
stood, a bulJdoe in the way, "and
that", said: he, squatting and point'
mg one finger," is what is the matter
with Hannah-" The point went home
and the crowd cheered. He said
Doy might, a$ well sit on the top ot
hill and wait for the sky to fall to
catch larks as to expect the Republican
party to repeal the revenue lie
gathered up the crowd with some o
his anecdotes, particularly tbe little
fat fioe Sandy, held by an old lady in
Virginia to; keep the fice from biting
Lee s army as it passed her house.
Jfoe, ft colored t.x legislator from
Caswell, asked J udge Fowle who was
Recorder in the Distiict of Columbia.
Fowle looked around and said: "Who
was that ?"i Pointing to Poe he said
"Fellow citizens, that's a negro. How
are you, Handy xhe crowd fairly
Jellel. Then he said if we had to
ave negroes in office let' it be in
Washington!, not here. Dockery said
Democratic lawyers talked of cheap
trace chains and half of them wouldn t
know a trace-chain from a black snake
if they were to meet both in the road.
He said he stopped law because be
could never; get to heaven. Fowle
replied it was strange he wanted to
send his son i'to the other place, for
he told him the other day he was go
ing to enter his Bon at law.
It is fair to say both speakers held
their own, and before a remarkably
large crowd for the weather. If the
day had been fair Heads ville would

eurred near Dijon Wednesday morn-
tug. Two eipress trains, one coming
from Marseilles and the other from

wedging the
passengers in among
the ruins. Their screams were fright
ful. Those who escaped began the
work of resouin? the dead and in..
jured, but a long time elapsed before
all were taken out. Some time elapsed
before they could be released. The
total number of killed is reported to
be twelve, ftnd many are injured,
some of whom cannot recover. Few
on the trains escaped bruises or con-
insions.
Later reports from the scene of the
accident show that forty people were
injured. They were removed to
Dijon and placed in the hospital.
The collision occurred between Malain
and velars-Sur-Ouche. Both engines
were hurled down an embankment -
and ' eight cars were smashed into
pieces. Several bodies are still in
the debris.
According to the latest reports
nine persons were killed, thirteen
severely injured and many more
slightly injuied. An American named
Boucher was seriously wounded.
