Tlx WtovnhtQ jifott WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morning, Jan. 1, 1891 FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION.. Election Bill Further Discussed in the Senate Four and a Hall Hours' Speech by Mr. George Able Defense of Missis sippi Beply by Mr. Hawley House not in Session. fir Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. Washington, Dec. 31. After some preliminary business the Election bill was taken up, and Mr. George addressed the Senate in opposition to the bill. Mr, George alluded to the statement made yesterday by Mr. Hoar, that there was not a line or sentence in the bill that would correct the alleged evils and wrongs growing out of the new consti tution of Mississippi, and said that nevertheless the time of the Senate had Vccn largely occupied by Republican Senators in the discussion of that con- ccdedly irrelevant question. Mr. George proceeded to review and to defend the course of the people of Mississippi in the adoption of their new constitution, and to discuss in that con nection the constitutions and statutes of other States on the subject of suffrage and of negroes. In winding up this part of his argument Mr. George said that he had thus gone through the his tory of the legislation and constitu tional provisions of Northern and West- em States, not with a view of charging their people with inconsistency. but with a view of showing the judgment of the American people that the negro race was incapa ble of slf government. This was before the adoption of the fifteenth constitu- tiofial amendment had prohibited dis tinction on account of race. Mississippi having a larger proportion of negro pop ulation than any other State, having one hundred thousand voters who are unable i ) read, and who are uninformed as to civil and tree institutions, had seea proper to call a convention to correct the evii not the negro suffrage per se. of ignorant and debased. suffrage. After speaking for four hours and a naif Mr. George said that he was weary :v,:' tired and would like to stop now, ur.d to lu-.ve the privilege of finishing his speech when the Senate meets again. No objection to his request came from t:ic Kepubhcan side of the chamber. Mr. Hawley made an explanation of .jme points made by Mr. George in con nection with the laws and political prac tices of Connecticut, and followed with another criticism of the new constitu- 'ion of Mississippi, which, he said, con tained a patent, open, acknowledged, de fiant device for disfranchising colored citizens of Mississippi. Senator George could not justify it, or could not an ' swer the papers of his own State that condemned it. The pending bill was in tended to remedy such a case as that. Perhaps it could not do so, but tnat clause or the Mississippi constitution was one oi trie most tremendous argu ments in favor of the bill. It seemed to hive been brought in by Providence, right in the very crisis of the contro- vcrsr. i Senate at 5.30 adjourned till Fri- d.-.y r.oon, 'vvitti the understanding th t;i further adjournment will take place until .Monday noon. WASHINGTON. Call for a Convention of Railroad Commis sioners. By Telegraph to the Moruing Star. Washington', Dec. 31. At a conven tion of railroad commissioners, held at Washington on the 6th of March, 1889, a resolution was adopted providing for an annual convention of said commissioners, and a committee was formed, of which judge Cooley is chairman, to designate the ti ne and place for the next conven tion. This committee to-dav issued a call, designating March 3d next as the tiine, and the office of the Inter-State Commerce Commissioner, Washington, as the place for the next convention. Railroad commissioners of all the States, and any btate officers charged with any i jty in the supervision of railroads or railroad iaterests, are requested to .-'-tend. i he American Association of railway .-counting Officers is also invited to u-c-t with the commissioners, or to send .:i 'ates to the convention for decision ! :-uch questions. of special interest to association as may arise at tha BANKERS FAIL. The Firm of Bateman & Co York and Washington, D. C of New Suspend -with Large Liabilities. !'.y Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, December 31. Arthur E. Bateman and Charles E. Coon, composing the firm of Bateman & Company, bankers, 57 Bioadway, New York, and 1,411 F street, Washington, D. C, made an assignment this morning to John A. Garver, without preference. Arthur E. Bate man also filed an individual, assignment to John A. Garver without preferences. New York, December 31. The statement that there are no preferences was a mistake. There is a preference of $45,000 to the Fourth National Bank for money loaned and advances, and an other of $25,000 to Baldwin, Farnum & Co., of Chicago, as margins. Lawyer Coxe, counsel for the suspended firm, said this forenoon that the assignee would have a statement of the firm's condition ready by Friday next. He also stated that the arnount of the firm's liability has been greatly over-estimated, and that they would not reach one mil lion dollars. Washington, December 31. The Washington office of Bateman & Co. is closed to day, and no one can be found at present who can give any informa tion as to the condition of affairs here. Parnell and O'Brien had a conference yesterday at Boulogne, France, but no announcement was made except that the conference would be resumed in a few days. THE INDIANS. The Catholio Misaionlat Clay Creek, Fill ed with Inmates, Fired by Buna way H o tiles A. Sharp Fight and Six Men Killed and Many Wounded of the Seventh Cavalry. By Telegraph to the Mortunz Star. Omaha, December 31. The Bee's correspondent at Pine Ridge telegraphs that Gen. Brooke has "just received news from the scene of the fight at the Catholic Mission on Clay creek, that six men ot the Seventh cavalry were killed and many wounded, further particu lars are not yet received. The first intimation of trouble at the mission was brought late yesterday afternoon by a courier who spurred in with the startling news that the mission building, where there are a number of Catholic priests and Sisters and hundreds of children, was surrounded by the hos- tiles, and had been set on nre. The cav alrymen, who had scarcely any rest ior four days, were instantly in the saddle, and with a couple of Hotchkiss guns, started on a gallop for the mission. As the dispatch was being written the roar of guns could be heard, indicating that a hot fight was in progress. Two Strike, Little Wound, Short Bull and other chiefs ran away from the Agency Monday night, after hearing of the Wounded Knee fight, taking with them a hundred warriors. They also compelled the old chief Red Cloud to accompany them under a threat of death. It is these Indians who attacked the supply train and raided the Catholic mission. Pine Ridge Agency. Dec. 31. The Seventh Cavalry had just reached camp yesterday morning, aftei repulsing the attack made on their supply train by Two Strike's band, when a courier ar rived with the word that the Catholic Mission was on fire and the teachers and pupils were being massjered. In twenty minutes the weary.hungry and al most exhausted cavalry were once more in motion, lhey found that the fire was at the day school, one mile this side of the Mission. The Ninth Cavalry was an hour behind the Seventh in reaching the spot, and there found the Seventh in a tight place, surrounded by Indians. The latter disappeared, however, when they saw reinforcements arrive for the cavalry. Infantry were also ordered out, but were not needed. The damage done the troops is small. Lieut. Mann, of Company E, Seventh Cavalry, was wounded through the side : the First Sergeant of Company K was also wounded. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 30. A special to the Bee from Kushyille savs: A blinding snow storm which is fast assuming the proportion j of a biizzard. began falling here and at the Agency at 9 o'clock this morning. Advices are tha: a desultory fight was kept up nearly all night at the late battle ground, within a few miles of the Agency, until by reason of suspicious actions of alleged friendly Indians in camp near the Agency the troops were called in from the field. It transpired late yesterday evening that the large camp of friendlies located south of the Agency is made ud almost entirely of old men, squaws and children. The question is, what has become of the supposed large numberof friendly bucks located there until yesterday. A half- breed courier, who was through that camp last night, reports that nearly every able-bodied Indian in this friendly outfit had quietly slipped away after dusk and joined the hostile forces. The friendly Indians at Pine Ridge now, he says, are principally squaws and those not able to fight. Up to 1 1 o'clock ihis morning, however, everything is reoo. t- ed to be quiet, both sides resting on their arms and each waiting some move irom the opposing lorces. That further fighting will occur there seems to be little , or no doubt. If the In dians should make an onslaught during the storm, they would undoubtedly have great advantage. The danger is that they will now break away to the strong holds in the Bad Lands and will be rein forced by the Rosebud, Standing Rock and other Indians. Eight more dead soldiers were brought into ine Agency alter dark last nip-ht. being part of yesterday's fatalities. Losses to the Indians are known to have been great, but the definite numbers have not yet been ascertained. The two strangers who were murdered within two miles of the Agency yesterday! are now believed to be teamster-? from Rushville. Indian signal lights were again Dlainlv visible last night in the rough country twenty miles north. SELF-DEFENSE. Discharge of McBride, Who Killed the Postmaster p. t Carol ton.

Intensely cold weather prevails in Hungary. The Danube is frozen over at Budapest, and ice-blocks extend from Presburg nearly to Vienna. In addition to this there is a dangerous formation of ground ice. Vienna is menaced with a water famine, all of the springs which furnish the supply being frozen. London, Dec. 31. Owing to the cold weather prevailing throughout Great Britain a numberof leading in dustries are suffering. The Stafford shire potteries, for insUnce, have been forced to stop work, it being found im possible to obtain workable clay, thus throwing out of work a large number of people at a period of the year when want of money is most severely felt. Hull, Dec. 31. The dock laborers' strike at this place is rapidly extending. Conference between the strikers and chairman of the shipping federation took place this afternoon, and both sides hope that some settlement may be ar rived at before the old year ends. Glasgow.

Question as to Its Liability to Taxation in New York. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Albanv, N. Y., December 31. Miles Beach, Judge of the Supreme Court of New York, has granted a writ of cer tiorari on the application of the South ern Cotton Oil Co., directed to ,State Comptroller Wemple, returnable within twenty days. The Comptroller claims that this company is liable to pay ment of the New York State tax, and has levied $2,492 as the amount of such tax, claiming that the company is a State organization. The company has a- capital of $5,000,000, and has factories at Columbia, S. C, Memphis. Savannah, Atlanta, Montgomery, Ala., Little Rock, New Orleans, and Houston, Texas. The company says it has no factories in this oLdie, anu oniy maintains an agent at New York city. The principal office of tne company is at Camden, N. J., financial operations being carried on in r'nuaaelphia. tor these reasons the company claims that it is not liable to xew ork btate for the tax.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, December 31. The Sum's report of to-day's cotton market says: Futures opened higher, further im proved, and presently declined, closing barely steady at an advance of 3 to 6 points on near and 1 to 3 points decline on late months from yesterday's closing prices. The old year went out with a field day on the Cotton Exchange. Transactions were large and fluctua tions wide. Liverpool came 2 points dearer and gave our bears a bad scare. lhey rushed to cover and quickly car ried prices up 8 or 10 points. Some of the bulls loaded up for a further rise. The rise culminated soon after the noon call. Then came selling to realize, and some oi the more courageous Dears jumped on the market with both feet. Down went prices, distant months losing more than the early advance. Rela tively large receipts at the ports were an element of weakness in futures. The Southern markets were more active and in some cases dearer. Spot cotton was t dearer but quiet. A Jacksonville, Fla.. dispatch says Gen. F. E.
