S Wabhihoton, Sept. 14 Senate tf The House bill to grant right of way through the military reservation at Fort Morgan to the Birmingham & Mobile Railway Company waa takn from the calendar and passed. ! Mr. Piatt's resolution of yesterday in reference to the copper syndicate; was taken up, but the debate which followed had but little reference to the resolution. It was always political, and at one time took V the: direction of a discussion on the tariff. Mr. Vest said the House tariff bill had come over to the Senate on the 23d of July, and had not yet been reported. He remembered that Mr. Sherman had time and again stood in the Senate chamber and said to the Democrats: "Bring your tariff bill herefrom the House and we will take it up at once and dispose of it," Vherr he asked, was the Mills bill todayf What had become, of the declaration in the Republican plat form that the inequalities in the tariff were to be removedT No bill had been reported back from the commit tee on finance, and he doubted verjr very much whether any tariff bill, would be reported back. He was most anxious to Bee (when it did come back) that .knight,; armored in proof, who, like the4 disinherited : knight at ihe tour nament of As! by, would come-' into the arena and make good: thejetatement (in the "fat" circular); that strange votes and speeches would . be heard from the Republican side of : the chamber on the tariff question. The country was waiting for that de- nouement. Mr. Sherman took up Mr. Vest's challenge and declared that the com- j mittee on finance would report a Re-, publican tariff bill, designed to pro tect and foster American industries as against the free trade Mills tariff bill which was intended to and did weaken many of the industries of the country. He further stated that the bill to be reported bv the finance com mittee would be aeareful revision of the tariff laws and of the internal revenue laws. It would give to men engaged in the arts tbe use of alcohol untaxed and would "sweep away the tobacco tax,giving that great agricultural prod uct fair and free play in'this country."' But the committee would take its time about it. If the House of Regre-1 sentatives wished to prolong theses- . !! A 1 Til . i aion uniu a tarm dui was reported it would have to wai. until the com mittee was ready to report. Mr. Allison a:so took up the same theme. After describing the labors of the finance oommittee and showing that, even if there were no tariff mat ter pending, Congress was not yet ready to adjourn on account of de lays in appropriation bills, he said that in view of the surplus being re duced to twenty million there was not that exigency for the reduction of the revenue which had existed; but that, nevertheless, a tariff bill would be reported that would reduce the revenue at least $60,000,000. It was impossible for him to say when that bill would come in. it would be reported by the sub mittee to tbe full committee at the earliest possible moment, and bow long the full committee would take to consider it he could not say; but that it would be reported, he gave the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) ab solute assurance. At the close of Mr. Allison's speech the resolution was laid aside without action, and the . Senate took up the Chinese exclusion bill. A vote was taken- on Mr. Blair's motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed, and it re sulted yeas 18, nays 17. As there was no "o voting or likely to vote, it wsf&rranged by unanimous consent thOjtbe next vote should be taken at 1 0 clock Monday. The following was the detailed vote: Yeas Messrs. Bate, Blair, Brown, Call, Cockrell, Evarts, George, Har ris, Hoar, Jones of Arkansas, Mor gan, Pogh, Reagan, Saulsbury, Sher man, Stockbridge, Wilson of lows, Wilson of Maryland 18. Nays Messrs. Allison, Berry.Coke, Davis, Dolph, Farwell, Hiscock.Jones of Nevada, Mitchell, Piatt, Plumb, Sawyer, Spooner, Stewart, Teller, Vest and Walthall 17. The House amendments to the inter-State commerce bill were non-concurred in, and a committee of con ference (Senators Cullom, Piatt and Harris) was appointed. ihe discussion of Mr. Jflatt s reso lution having been resumed, Mr. His cock, a member of the sub-committee on finance contributed his quota to the tariff bill statements. He said Congress had been in session since last December and the Repub licans in the Senate owed it to them selves, to their party and to the conn- try to give to this bill all the attention and all the consideration necessary so to perfect it that it would give expres sion to the views, the opinions, tbe platform and the policy of the party which they represented. He was entirely willing to sit here from now until November in the prepara tion of. that bill at the very earliest moment that it could be prepared. He would favor its report to the ben ate if it should be the will of Con gress to remain in session so long,but he was entirely unwilling to be crowd ed into a hasty consideration that might force upon the country an illy prepared and illy-considered bill. The committee on finance would be able to bring a perfect bill before the Sen ate but it would I not be today or to morrow. He intimated that it would reduce the revenue quite as much aa the Mills bill proposed, but that it would do bo by a reduction of the in fernal revenue taxes. As to import duties 'some would be reduced and some would be increased. At the close 01 Mr. xtisoocrs re marks Mr. Piatt's resolution was adopted. A very bittdr and acrimoni I ous personal colloquy here took place between Senators Payne and Hoar in respect to Mr. Hoar's suggestion that Secretary Whitney was the represen tative in the Cabinet of the Standard OU Company. Mr, Payne alluded to Mr. Hoar's disingenuousness and Mr. Hoar char acterized Mr. Payne's style as more in keeping with the grogshop than the Senate. The presiding officer declared that the whole colloquy waa out of order, and added that the Chair has tad often within the last week or ten days to call attention to proceedings uhat Were disoiderly, and does not desire to be called upon daily to re buke violations of order. The dispu tation between the two Senators con tinued for some time longer and sev eral left hand k1 cnrnphmetits were in terchanged, but iiodh rn re notable than those alrt-arty quoted. Among the bills patsel were the following: House, bill proviln g boards of arbitration to settle the df ferenoes between inter-state railroads and their employees upon a written application of either party to the con troversy;! providing penalties for the violation of quarantine regulationa.

Many tele grams hare been-received here from eastern and western cities asking if it is true that yellow fever bad devel oped in Memphis.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD COLLISION. Passengers Deluged With Boiling Water Two Killed On'rlght. Massfield, Ohio, Sept. 14. The Baltimore & Ohio north bound pas senger train due in this city at 5.55 this morning was derailed by a switch at Ankeytown siding, 25 miles south of. this city, and collided with a freight train on the siding. The mail car followed by tbe express car, and two day coaches, s'ruck the engine and rolled over on their Bides, com pletely wrecked. Almost immediately the freight engine boiler exploded, throwing wreckage in all directions. The two coaches contained 110 pas sengers nearly all returning from the encampment at Columbus Hot water and the steam from the boiler poured into the coaches and the passengers that had not been hurt by broken timbers were scalded. The en gine of the passenger train, which with two express cars, had safely passed the switch was im mediately taken to Independence and Bellville, and all the doctors in those places were taken to the wreck. The Eassengers who were not held down y the timbers crawled out of the windows, and by the time the doctors reached the root all but four or five were out of the broken coaches. David Wilson, .baggage-maiter, and Harry Tomlinson, freight engineer, were killed. If. Luckens, express agent, Wo. Crinsley, freight brake man, and Mrs Edward Valentine, of Chicago, a passenger, are fatally in jured. The total number of injured is thirty-two, of whom only three of the above named are likely to die. The majority of the injured are mem bers of tbe G. A. R. Some of them were put in the sleeper ears and taken to their homes this afternoon. Those who could not be moved were taken care of at neighboring houses. St. Lonle anil tbe Bagging Trust.

At a meeting of the cotton factors of St. Liouis, called to consider the ques tion of cotton bagging, in which we and our customers are now so deeply interested, tbe following resolution was unanimously adopted : Whereas, The bagging combina tion of this country who now control the mills of the country and their pro duct, and the entire stock of cotton bagging, have advanced the price to a figure that will require the cotton producers to pay $3,000,000 or more in excess of its value to wrap the cot ton crop of this season; and, Whereas, Our Itepresentatives in Congress are showing a commenda ble seal in their efforts to relieve the cotton producers in their extremity, lleaolved, That we are in hearty sympathy with them in their efforts in this direction, and earnestly hope that they will be able to afford some immediate relief for the present cot ton crop, and as agents of the cotton producers of the Southwest we re spectfully urge upon them its imme diate necessity.

HOLT AND THE COTTON BAOOINQ WHICH HE HAS MADE FOB THE FABMER8 OF NOBTH CAB0LT5A. We were shown yesterday an ar ticle which can be seen at the store of Messrs. Barbee & Barbee, No. 305 South Wilmington street, this city, and which is to be u?ed as a substitute for cotton bagging. It is made by Hon. Thomas M. Holt at his mills at Haw River, N. C, for the farmers of North Carolina. The goods are strong and durable and make a most exoellent substitute for the jute bagging heretofore used; and by the use of them and like substituted our farmers will be enabled to throttle the monster known as the "Cotton Bagging Trust", by means of which a few northern manufacturers are op pressively seeking to suck the life blood out of our people. In the his tory of this country there has never been a more shameless attempt to extort the hard earned tuoney of our Southern farmers than the one this same "Cotton Bagging Trust" is now engaged in. Without any just cause or reason but simply because they thought they had the power the par ties engaged in this nefarious undei taking have wantonly and for the pur pose of adding to their already enor mous wealth put up tbe price of cotton bagging from 5 J to 75 per cent and at a season of the year when the cotton is in the' fields ready to be gathered, thereby adding to the expenses of the iarmera or the South in tbe market ing of their cotton crop at least the sum of 12,000.000. It therefore affords us great pleasure, to chroniole the fact that Col. Holt and th'e rest of our North Carolina manufactureis have come to the rescue of the agri cultural interest of our State, and have joined bands with it in its fight against this heartless "Trust." Col. Holt is himself one of the largest and most successful farmers in North Car olina and can always be relied upon to lend aid and assistance to his brother farmers whenever it is in his power to do o. .We say hurrah for tne manufacturers of North Carolina for their praiseworthy effort to pro tect tne leading interest of the State at a critical moment. Messrs. Bar- bee & Barbee say that the substitute manufactured by Col. Holt answers the purpose well and can be bought of them at a price which is from 3 to 5 cents less per yard than is now de manded for jute cotton bagging. Verily, we believe the farmers of North Carolina now have the "Cotton Bagging Trust" by the throat. This matter should receive immediate at tention, so that the mills can go to work on the . goods if they are ap proved and desired by the farmers. THK EDGECOMBE FARHKB8 AND THE JUTE BAOOIKO TBTJ8T. At a special meeting of the Edge combe County Farmers' Alliance held last week, with every sub-Alliance well represented, the.following reso lutions were adopted: lietocvd, That we, the Edgecombe County Alliance No. 614, unhesita tingly denounce the bagging trust and we are determined to resist it to the fullest extreme. Resolved, That we will not pur chase jute bagging under any circum stances, nor will we buy any substi tute in any way connected with said trust. We recommend tbe use and purchase of cotton goods for wrap ping cotton. We also ask the co operation of the Grange and all non Alliance cotton producers. Jieaolved, That the appreciative thanks of the Edgecombe County Farmers' Alliance be and are hereby tendered Senator Reagan, of Texas and Congressman Simmons, of North Carolina , for their services in behalf of the farmers of the South against the bagging trust. Elias Cabb, President. J. C. Powell, Secretary. A friend writes us from Tarboro that "many farmers who are not members of the Alliance have deter mined to use any thing except jute bagging.

The Newton Enterprise in speaking of Senator Ransom's speech at the Newton fair Wednesday says; "Senator Ransom was introduced by Mayor Witherspocn in appropri ate terms and spoke to the vast as semblage for about an hour. JHe spoke of the importance, dignity, independ ence and virtue of farmers. He re gretted that farmers were not making the money they should make from the amount of capital they have invested and the amount of hard labor they have expended on their farms, ard made a few suggestions as to how their condition could be improved.

Mr. Dockery has nOt yet referred to those special tax bonds, which he threatened to connect Judge Fowle with. Judge Fowle has been ready to refute any charge he might make in that line, but the radical champion has been mum.

FOWLE AND DOCKERY AGAIN IN JOINT DISCUSSION. THE VjCTOBT WITH THE FOBMEB AS USUAL THE EXTHCSIASM OF THE DEMOCBATS OTHEB NEWS. .teelal to the News and Observer. Winston, N. C, September 14 Fowle, jthe superb, arrived here today on the noon train, and was met at the depot by tbe Young Men's Demo cratic Club, a large number of people from town and country, bands of mu sic, banners, etc. He and Col. Dockery spoke this afternoon to hundreds of people. Judge Fowle was 'in good condition physically, and made a splendid impression otS the people. ) His arraignment of the Re publican party for past acts and mii deeds wjss grand indeed, and his re marks epon the tariff and revenue were plain and convincing. It is the opinion pf every unprejudiced mind that Judge Fowle made many votes here today, aud that he got the beat of his opponent. No one will attempt to deny that Judge Fowlo kuocked the props from under every argument tha. Col. Dockery advanced. Col. Dockery poses as the farmers' and workiegmen's candidate, but Judge Fowle showed the fallacy of such an attitude; by quoting a resolution passed by the recent convention of the.Farmers' Alliance. Col. Dockery denied any knowledge of such a res olution but the facts and proof were against him and intelligent people were put to thinking. The Democrats are jub.lant over Fowle's success here today. His matchless eloquence, his convincing arguments ana winning manner have made for him many friends, aud caused those who have known him in times gone by to come nearer to him, and there is no doubt but that For syth county will give the gallant Fowle and his party a handsome ma jority. Dockery did not attack the lawyers nor did he refer to Mrs. Cleveland's kissing jcolored women. Public opinion bias improved him in some respects. - The Republicans feel very keenly Fowle's victory over Dockery today and express their feelings as follows an actual occurrence "Well, we could not expect any thin? else, for Fowle has always made his living Dy talking, and our man Dock ery, of course, can't talk like he can," Fowle was the recipient of a mag nificent floral offering at the close of bis address and when he took his seat the woods rang with cheers for r owle our next Governor. Hurrah for Fowle! is heard tonight on every side. Meeara. Stradwlek and Maaan. Cor. of tbe News and observer. Chapex IIill, N. C.f Sept. 14. Hon. F. N. Strudwick. Democratic candidate for Elector for the State at large, and Hon. Jas. B. Mason, Re publican candidate for Superintend ent of Publio Instruction, discussed the political issues here Tuesday. Mr. strudwick opened the discus sion with an interesting and erudite speech. Jlis assertions were so vigor ously sustained by known facts as re gards the present and past history of tne untrustworthy and incapable Re publican party that spread such havoc over pur people while in power that it would sem no self respecting, liberty-loving white man could vote otherwise than for the excellent nom inees of the Democratic party. He elucidated plainly and conclusive ly that the hjgb priest of that Jugger naut, the enormous war tariff, waa thoroughly imbued with iniquity and cupidity, and the fallacy that this syBttm was for the advantage of the workingmau; was a delusion concocted by men of such kidney as Carnegie, who employs Huns .Jo tbe exclusion of Americans and recc . 3 $5,000 per diem from his bounty-It J by pro tection steel-rail monopoly. He argued for the Blair bill and for the abolition of the Internal Revenue system with great force, but when he touched upon the county government system, which is such a boon to the eastern counties, he was especially eloquent and was roundly applauded. Mr. Mason followed with a narrow, illogical speech characteristic of the man. He discussed the fa: iff with great elaboration, but we have yet to find the man; who saw a tingle point he made. He charged that the Demo cratic party never fulfilled any of its pledges, that it was the cause of the ignorance and poverty of our people, and such nonsense; that it caused the defeat of the Blair bill and that it was antagonistic to anv legislation to remove the Internal Revenue. Mr. Strudwick replied briefly 10 Mr. Mason's sophistry as regards the maintenance j of the pledges of the Democratic party and explained their true attitude as regards the Internal Revenue and the Blair bill, and added that if the provisions ef the Blair bill were to allow Mr. Mason to be the criterion as to the illiteracy of the whole State j then North Carolira would get nearly the whole $79,000, 000. This was an exceedingly gocd hit and elicited great applause. Mr. Strudwick sustained himself as an able man, a master workman for the cause of Democracy. The good his speech did will be greatly felt in No vember when we predict that old Orange will redeem itself by rolling up a handsome majority for Cleve land, Fowle aud Reform.
