COCKRELL QUOTES SOME INTERESTING FIGURES. In Discussing the Resolution Fix ing the Daily Hour of Meeting— The Number of Bills Pending and Disposed Os. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, July 30.— Senate. —A resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Sherman fixing the daily hour of meeting at 10 a. m. was taken up. Mr. Cockrell said he would sup port the resolution and wanted to give a few reasons why. Some taunts had been made recently by the Sen ators from Rhode Island and Maine (Messrs. Aldrich and Frye) about the delay on the part of the Demo cratic minority; and the Senator from Maine had said something about having the previous question introduced in the Senate. He wanted those Senators to see the rel ative amount of work done in the two houses. The Senate had, up to the 28th of July, passed 946 bills, and 499 other bills had been acted on by the committees and indefinitely postponed, making the whole num ber of Senate bills actually disposed of 1,445. That was considerably more than one-third of all the bills introduced in the Senate. No such record had ever been made before. Out of over a thousand bills intro duced in the House there had passed only eighty-five. Out of all the Senate bills passed, the House had passed only 231, while of the House bills the Senate had passed 618. On the House calendar, of the bills pending in the committee of the whole, there were 381, of which 103 were Senate bills, while there were pending in the House 1,718 public bills, including 23 Senate bills, and 977 private bills including 186 Senate bills. Then there were on the calendar of unfinished busi ness 98 cases pending, of which 31 were Senate bills. That made a to tal of 1,617 cases pending before the House, of which 344 were Senate bills. On the Senate calendar there were but 309 cases, all told, of which only 61 were House bills. There were 341 Senate bills (acted on by the House committee) now on the House calendar, with the iron heel of the one-man power securely resting on that calendar. How, he asked, had bo much work been done in the Senate? Had the minority been interposing objections by unnecessary discussion? Had the minority consumed time (as the ma jority had done under the last ad ministration) in criticizing the Ex ecutive or in pleading the civil ser vice law to prevent the removal of Democratic officials before the end of their terms of office? Nothing of the kind. Had not the bills for the admission of Idaho and Wyoming as States been allowed by the mi nority to pass, although everyone knew that neither of them had suffi cient population to entitle it to a Representative in the House. Those bills had passed only through the in conceivable forbearance and con servatism of the Democratic minority, And yet Democrats were criticized the moment they wanted a little ex planation and a little light on tie tariff bill. If there was a Demo cratic majority in the Senate and had it made an attempt to pass bills for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona as States, the Senator from Maine (Mr. Frye) would have pranced up and down the centre aisle and the Senator from Vermont (Edmunds) would have raised bis voice. They would have roared like caged lions and screamed like chained hyenas (laughter) against the action of the Democratic majority. Why, he asked, had not the House disposed of more bills than it had disposed of ? The reason was that it ignored, in its organiza tion, and in its changed rules the fundamental principles of parlia mentary discussion. He quoted from a letter written by Mr. Thomas B. Reed, June 1886, and published in the Chataquan. It would be remem bered, he said, that Mr. Reed was once a member of the House of Rep resentatives. One of the sentences in that “remarkable production” was in these words: A full, free, frank discussion is the very life of intelligent action.” Another sent ence was: “Needless suppression of discussion is tyramcal, whether done by a king or a majority.” He chal lenged any Republican Senator to show an instance where a Democratic minority had attempted any unnec essary delay. The Democratic Sena tors had been in their seats when the Senator from Maine (Mr. Frye) was enjoying the refreshing hreezes of the lakes of his native State, and when the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Ed munds) was also rusticating. The Senator from New York (Mr. His oock) had stated yesterday that the Republicans had capturea the Dem ocrats. If the Democrats were cap tured, they would stick closer to their captors. They would (some to the chamber at ten in the morning, but they would pxpect the Republi can Senators to come too, and they would stay till six in the evening and facilitate the transaction of business, if they were treated as a decent and respectable minority ought to be. The resolution was then agreed to. The tariff bill was taken up and Mr. Morrill addressed the Senate. Party discipline, he said, appeared to compel the free trade Democratic Senators to assail the tariff bill with all their ancient sto k of vituper ative epithets. His calm and excel lent friend (Mr. McPherson) whose State was so much indebted to tariff protection for prosperity, after giv ing the bill a death blow in a set speech, came iu fresh every day to add another blow as a pnnishment after death. He (Mr. Morrill) hoped not to contribute to any consump tion of time, but as some Sena tors on the other side seemed to be provoked at the silence on this side of the chamber, he would claim a short time and would try not to thresh any of the old straw of the tariff debate. He then proceeded in a set speech to take up and reply to some of the arguments that have been presented in the pending debate by Democratic members against the general policy of the bill and against its distinctive features. In conclusion, Mr. Morrill said that any amendment offered in good faith that would improve ’he bill would be cordially received, but that all attempts to engraft thorns upon it would, he hoped be re jected. He was persuaded that when the bill became the law of the land it would give stability and new life to all the business interests of the Amer ican people, courage and hope to the American workingmen, and cover the republic with countless blessings. Numerous amendments for a re duction of the proposed rates.on sul phuric acid, tannic acid, alcoholic, perfumery, carbonate of ammonia, blacking and borax were offered, discussed pro aud con, and rejected. Wheie amendments were voted on by the yeas and nays, the votes were divided strictly by party lines. Mr. McPherson continned to offer amendments for a reduction of rates on articles in the chemical schedule, but none of them found favor on the Republican side of the chamber, and they were all mercilessly rejected by a party vote. The only change made in the schedule was the reduction (on motion of Mr. Aldrich) of the duty on chloroform from 40 to 25 cents per pound. Mr. Vest moved to reduce the duty on iodoform from $1.50 to $1 per pound. He could not understand the sense or humanity of increasing the tax on medicine, particularly when only twenty-nine pounds of it was imported. The amendment was rejected by a party vote—yeas 18, nays 29. After a brief executive session the Senate, at 5:30, adjourned. house. The Speaker laid before the House fifteen requests for leave of absence. Mr. Cheadle, of Indiana, inquired whether, if these leaves were granted, a quorum would be left in the House. The Speaker announced his ina bility to answer the question. Mr. Buchanan, of New Jcney, thought until this question was de termined, it would be better not to grant tr*. ve . Consequently the reqi e .u> fe leave w’» e passed over for ♦’ 'resent. iu.. .at omas, ■ ! inryland, called up the c-,. wonce report on the Dis trict of Columbia appropriation bill, Mr. Cann< .1 resigning his right to call up the sundry civil bill, for the reason that sickness in Mr. McCo mas’ family necessitated his speedy return home. Mr. Mutchler, of Pennsylvania, opposed the report on the ground that if the bill passed in its present form there would be a deficiency iu the revenues of the District ot Co* lumbia of between $275,000 and $400,000. In the course of debate Mr. Can non said that the statement had been made in some place he would not mention, (alluding to the Senate) that it was an unheard of thing to extend appropriations for more than ten days and in this place which he would not mention, the responsibility for the delay’in the passage of the ap propriation bills was laid upon the House. In this place which he (would not mention) it had been stated that there was 3ome place under the shin ing sun that there was deliberation, etc., etc, To judge from the rec ord (without answering anybody) this was the fact about it. During the first session of the Fiftieth Congress, an extension resolution foj nine of the regular appropriation bills had been passed for tnirty days. This had been further extended thirty days, then thirty days rqore, then fifteen days, then ton days and agtyn fifteen days. The present Douse had passed the sundry civil bill June V?. Two years ago it had been passed 27th of June. Two years ago the District of Columbia bill had passed May 28; this year it passed House January 28. Although this House (sarcastically) could not be called a deliberate bod/, it could stand by the record it had made. The Speaker afiou,t (0 put the question on th® adoption of the con ference report when Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, requested that he in form the M°h se the question waa upon which the vote was to be The Speaker informed the gentle- man that the vote was to be taken on the conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill, “two hours’ debate,” he added, “not har ing revealed the fact.” (Laughter.) The conference report was agreed to, and then the House went into ex ecutive committee of the whole for further consideration of Senate amendments to the sundry civil ap propriation bilL Pending action the committee rose and the Speaker announced the ap pointment of the following members on the committee to investigate the charges against Commissioner Raum: Messrs. Morrell, Sawyer, Smyson, Goodnight and Martin, of Indiana. The House theu at 5:05 p. m. ad journed. Another I’ottloitn-e Clerk Short. Wilmington Star. Shortly after the end of the last quarter it was discovered that John Kennedy, the stamp and registry clerk of Wilmington was “short” in his cash. Postmaster French called Kennedy’s attention to it, and the latter promised to make the amount good in a few days. At the time stated, however, Kennedy absconded, and it was then discovered that he had stolen three registered letters, containing quite an amount Os money, evidently for his traveling expenses. A warrant is out for his arrest, the postmaster says, and the inspectors have traced him to a point about five hundred miles from here. Kennedy will without doubt bo cap tured, though he may put the officers to some trouble. One of the packages stolen con tained SIOO and the other $125. The amount that Kennedy was discovered to be “short” in his accounts was $220. Os this he refunded $l5O last Saturday and promised to bring the remainder in a few days. Sunday he was at the Postoffice and attended to his duties as usual. That night he went to church, and afterwards was seen going to the railroad with satchel in hand, and it was found that he had taken the southbound train on the Atlantic Coast Line for parts unknown.

A of Ten’s Eighteen Wives. A correspondent of the Indian Daily News has furnished the de tails of an extraordinary case of polygamy. A Brahmin of Bengal gave six aunts, eight sisters, and four daughtets in a batch in marriage to a boy less than ten years old. The ages of the brides of three generations varied from fifty years to three months, and the baby bride was brought to the marriage cere mony on a brass plate. Among the Kulin Brahmins, it is said, the man who receives in marriage the major ity of the daughters of a family is also bound to have the rest, other wise the minority must suffer a lifelony celibacy. The correspondent concludes : “Hundreds of instances like the above might be given if needed,” A Terrific Explosion. By Cable to the News and Observer.

Fifteen Acres of Ground Covered with Three Story Blocks Com pletely Swept Over—The Lohk Estimated at $1,000,000. By Telegraph to the News and Olwerver. Syracuse, N. Y., July 30. —A special from Seneca Falls says : The Pew building, against the erection of which three or more years ago such an earnest protest was made, fulfilled its mission as a fire trap this morning, and it is feared has also proven a death trap. A few min utes after 4 o’clock this morning, the building which was directly op posite Hoag’s Opera House, in Fall street, was discovered to be burning in Southerland aud Squire’s restau rant. In a few minutes the entire structure was on fire. At 7 o’clock the fairest commercial portion of the town was in ashes or in fiames. The Pew building was approachable from but one side, and the atmosphere quickly became so hot that the firemeu could not endure it. The splendid Phoenix Block, in volving the electric light plant, the electric railway plant, postoffice, ex firess office, Reville printing estab iehment offioe, and the Western Union telegraph office succumbed to the flames and within four hours fif teen stores east of it, to Sheldon block, were ruined. The flames spreading across the street to Hoag’s Opera House, that was consumed, with all Fall street ou that side east of Sheldon block, while on the north side the Co-operative Block was the limit. On State street the fiames extended to and included Kellogg’s livery stable, but all of this stock was saved. The sufferers, with some ap proximate losses on real estate prop erty given below, probably being a fair average insurance : The Phcenix block $73,000, electric light $30,- 000 (not wholly destroyed), Sylves ter Pew $3,000, Johnson block $16,- 000, Howe block $12,000, Deskey block SIO,OOO, on Sheldon block $7,000, Hoag Hotel damaged prob ably $15,000, Hoag’s Opera Honse and block $40,000, Daniel’s block $13,000, the McCormick block $4,000, McCatin’s block $6,500, Mil ler block $2,000. Auburn, N. Y., July 30.—The report received here places the loss at Seneca Falls at $1,000,000. Fif teen acres were burned over, covered principally by three-story brick buildings. OLIEI) TO THEIR KEATS. A Good Reason Why the Congregation Re mained Seated After Service. Fort Dodge, la., July 28.— When the contribution plate was passed at the dedication services at the new Congregational church at Moorland yesterday, not a single person arose to leave his seat. One reason was because the varnish on the seats wa3 not sufficiently dried, and the entire congregation were tightly glued down. At the close of the service it took three-quarters of an hour to free all the prisoners. All the ladies’ toilets were ruined, and large por tions of them still decorate the newly varnished pews. ■> ■». M LEMON ELIXIR. A Pleasant Lemon I>rink.
