The Copyright Bill Passed by the Senate -The Postoffloe Appropriation BUI Taken up in the House and Various Matters Discussed. Ev Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. Washington, Feb. IS. The Copy right bill having been taken up as un finished business, Mr. Piatt yielded to a request of Mr. Davis to allow some Pen sion bills on the calendar to be passed. Some dozen Pension bills were taken from the calendar and passed, including a bill increasing the pension of the widow of Gen. Custer to $100 a month. The Copynqht bill having again been taken up a vote was taken on the Sherman amendment offered yesterday bv Mr. Power to admit copyrighted books, &c, printed in foreign countries on pay ment ot tariff duties.The amendment was agreed to yeas 36. nays 24. Thereupon Mr. Frye renewed his amendment re quiring charts, photographs, &c, to be printed on plates executed in the Uni ted States. The amendment was agreed to veas 41, nays 24. Finally a vote was taken on the pas sage of the bill and the bill was passed veas 36, nays 14. A conference was asked on the dis agreeing vote of the two houses, and Piatt. Hiscock and Gray were appointed conferees on the part of the Senate. A Senate bill for the erection of a new custom house in the city of New York was taken from the calendar and passed. The Senate then took up the substi tute for the House bill to provide for the adjudication and payment of claims arising from Indian depredations. Edmunds moved to strike out section ".. of the substitute which prohibits the allowance of any claim made by Indians on the testimony of any witness of the Indian tace. Walthall moved to amend the section bv making it read, "on the unsupported testimony of any Indian." Walthall's amendment was agreed to. On Edmunds' motion to strike out the third section, the vote resulted, yeas 22. nays 22 one less than a quorum. A motion to adjourn was defeated, and under the general order of two weeks ago, the Senate at 6 p. m. took a recess til S p. m. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. In the absence of the Speaker, who is confined to his room by a severe cold, the House proceeded to the election of a Speaker pro tem., and Mr. Payson, of Iiiinois. was elected and was escorted to the chair by Messrs. KcKinley of Ohio and Dockery ol Missouri, amid the plaudits of both sides of the chamber. A conference was ordered on the District (Columbia Appropriation bill and on the Military Academy Appropri ation bill. The House then proceeded to further c:.r.siceration of the Indian Appropri- f Perkins asked unanimous consent tr.a; the reading of the amendment to into eect the allotment agree ner.t with the Coeur Dalene and other tribes cf Indians be dispensed with, b jt Mr. Turner of New York objected. Trie reading of the amendment con sumed over an hour and a half, and it vras then agreed to. The bill was passed. On motion of Mr. Funston of Kan sas, a ioint resolution was passed ap propriating $105,000 for printing 100,000 copies of the report on diseases of horses, prepared under the supervision of the chief of the Bureau 'of Animal Industry. The House then went into committee of the whole on the Postoffice Appro priation bill. In the general debate Mr. Blount of Georgia took a position against the Shipping bill on the ground that all efforts to build a merchant marine by means of subsidy would prove futile so long as the present high rates of duty were maintained. He inveighed against the general policy of subsidies, and in stanced the Pacific Mail steamship sub sidy as being of no benefit to commerce, but resulting only in scandalizing our American Congress. Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, favored the Ship ping bill as tending to build up the merchant marine. Mr. Simmons, of Connecticut, spoke in support of the Shipping bill, advocat ing the fostering of the shipping in terests by generous aid. Mr. Cummings, of New York, ad dressed himself to an advocacy of his resolution protesting against the per secution of the Jews in Russia. Mr. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, submitted an argument against the Shipping bill. In the course of his remarks he touched upon the silver question, and in response to a question by Mr. Hop kins, of Illinois, as to the position of Cleveland upon that subject, he de clared that Grover Cleveland was deeper down in the heart of the Democracy of the country than any other living man. It might be that Cleveland's record on silver did not suit the Democracy. They were the views of an individual member of the Democraticparty. He, O'Fer ral, assumed that whatever Cleveland's position might be to-day on the ques tion of silver coinage, when the National Convention spoke in 1892 he would en dorse the principles of their platform, whatever tmy might be. He did not believe that Cleveland would surrender his convictions ; but there were ques tions of Democratic principle far para mount to the question of free coinage of silver. Several other gentlemen discussed topics entirely foreign to the bill before the House. - Without diposing of the bill the com mittee rose and the House adjourned. TERRIBLE AFFAIR. A Duel to the Death, with Hatchet and Knife. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. "" " Birmingham, Ala., February 18. An Age-Herald special from Bluffton, Ala., says: D. G. Good and Ford John son had a terrible cutting duel to-night. Good cut Johnson's left eye out with a hatchet and cut. into the bones of his face several times. Johnson cut Good's throat with a knife. Both will die." They were drunk and alone. CH1CAGO REVIEW. Fluctuations in Prices of Grain and Provisions. By Telegraph to the Morning Star Chicago, Feb. 18. The grain market started with a mild form of panic among the shorts. Wheat started with a jump of He over the closing prices of the previous afternoon; an easier feeling suc ceeded, and a decline to 98c had been brought about by 11 o'clock, then it broke, towards noon, to 97Jgc. bt. Louis speculators report it snowing there and the suspension of the American Loan and Trust Company of New York assisted the downward movement, and so did the fact that the bulls had, on the morning bulge unloaded .their wheat on the shorts. It only needed a little courage on the part of the bears to cause a further decline, and they gathered enough of it together in the last fifteen minutes to cause a drop to The corn market was just a trifle ex cited at the opening, and the price for May was advanced. There was good buying ,in oats early. May advanced from 464c at the open ing to 46c. A weaker feeling then manifested itself, and the price declined until the close. The opening of the provision market was quiet but firm, in sympathy with the grains, and there was no pressure of offerings. The demand for lard at a concession of 2c from yesterdays closing price was the feature on the call. The closing price of May lard was 2c lower than on Tuesday. Pork and ribs declined a fraction less than lard. COTTON. The New York Futures Market Yesterday. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, Feb. 18 The Suu's cot ton circular says: Futures opened lower, further de clined, but nearly recovered, closing steady at a decline of 3 to 4 points on this crop and 5 to 7 points on new crop months from yesterday's closing prices. A drop at Liverpool of 3-64 to 4-64d in the price of futures in that market, with great dullness in the spot market, was the signal this morning for a fresh at tack from the bears upon values of our Cotton Exchange. Prices were soon run down to 8.98c for August. "What! August cotton below 9c!" was the ejac ulation heard on all sides. Many be lieved that the rock bottom had at length been reached. Then there was some buying to cover contracts; a few went long some hundreds of bales. Then the interior - figures began to show up rather small, notably at Augusta. This increased confidence and buying became active and general, But if there were free buyers there were also free sellers, and the early decline was not fully re covered. Spot cotton was l-16c. lower and dull. BUSINESS TROUBLES. American .Loan and Trust Co., of New York Unable to Pay Depositors. By Telegraph to the Mornins Star. New York, February 18. The American Loan and . Trust Co. closed its doors at half-past i2 to-day; the im mediate cause being demand for a large amount of money which the Trust Company could not meet. Three sav ings banks one in Syracuse, one in Rochester, and the other an outside bank, the name of which is not known, demanded payment of deposits amount ing to 360.000. The institution could not pay, and at the request of one of the savings banks, the superintendent took possession. Later, he sent for Bank Examiner Cahill, who is now in Chicago. PRIZE FIGHT. Needham Whipped by Ryan at Minne apolis. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Minneapolis, Feb. 18. At half-past two o'clock this morning Ryan and Needham had fought seventy-three rounds," and the men were simply walking round each other, letting fly a blow occasionally. Needham forced the fight in the seventy-fourth round but did little damage. He got a smash on Ryan's face, and Ryan returned it almost scoring a knock-down. In the seventy-fifth round the fight was hot and fast, the men doing considerable in-fighting. The exact time of the fight was five hours and five minutes. Need ham was badly punished, especially about the face. Ryan escaped without a mark. The Chicago delegation went wild over the result of the fight and shouted themselves hoarse, hugging Ryan again and again in the ring. At the conclusion of the Jfight Need ham fainted away, and it took the united efforts of three physicians nearly an hour to bring him to. At noon to day he was resting quietly under the influence ot narcotics, but is still very ill. Ryan has scarcely a scratch or bruise. JOHN L. SULLIVAN. His Encounter With, a Colored Waiter at a Hotel in Richmond. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Richmond, Feb. 18. Tohn L. Sulli van ended a dramatic engagement in this city last night. While breakfasting at a hotel this morning, he became restless and began swearing at a negro waiter named Miller. Miller told him that he must not swear in the ladies' dining room. Sullivan then made a break for Miller; the negro had a coffee pot in his hand, and hurled it at Sullivan s head. Sullivan dodged the pot and jumped to his feet."" Miller crabbed at a chair and was about to throw it at Sullivan, but suddenly concluded that discretion was the better part of valor, and made a hur ried exit and hid himselfT EMBEZZLEMENT. A Boston Merchant who Got $34,000 from Banking Houses. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Boston, Feb. 18. James B. Kinsley is under arrest, charged with the em bezzlement of $34,000 from Boston banking houses. The arrest.it is said, was made at the instance of severa banks.

A Presidential Pardon Harrison's De parture for New Tork-The Status of the Silver Bill. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, February 18. The' President has pardoned Lem Burch, in dicted in Georgia with Wright Toncosh and others, for conspiracy to murder Forbes. He was pardoned because of the aid rendered the government in prosecuting the case The President and all members of his Cabinet, and acting Secretary Net tleton, of the Treasury Department, left here this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock in a special train for New York, to attend the funeral of the late Gen.

He will accompany the remains to St. Louis, as a special representative of the War'Department. The House committee to-day adopted a resolution to close hearings at 12 o'clock Friday, and to vote on the Sil ver bill in committee at 1 o'clock that day. The resolution was adopted after a long wrangle, by unanimous consent, the silver men agreeing to it as the best solution of these questions. If the programme outlined is carried out, it will make it impossible to pass this bill a second time if the President declines either to approve or disapprove it. The period of time between 1 o'clock Friday and noon March 4th, is just one hour less that the period of ten days, exclusive of Sunday, throughout which the President is permitted to retain the bill before returning it to Congress.

The Bor der Alliance met here to-day and passed a resolution recommending that an anti trust cigarette factory be established with a capital stock of $200,000. A committee was appointed to solicit stock. This movement is designed as an opposition to the American Tobacco Company, which has a monopoly of the cigarette business in Virginia and North Carolina, and which St is alleged has greatly depreciated the price of that grade of leaf tobacco known as cutters.

Laws of 1887j also, portions of chap, 92, Laws of 1889. SPECIAL ORDER. Turner's bill to divide the crime of murder and to define the same was ex plained by its author, and passed its second and third readings. The bill to repeal chap. 299, Laws of 1887, and portions of chap. 92, Laws of 1889, in relation to the East Carolina Land and Railwav Company was called up from the calendar. Butler thought this bill should pass without argument because it embodied the two amendments he offered yester day to another bill. Gilman opposed the bill, because he thought it a very great obstacle to a railroad for his people. Bellamy submitted a substitute lor Butler's bill, providing $25,000 in cash to be paid by the East Carolina Land and Railway Company, to the school fund, for swamp lands in Onslow county. Lucas approved a part of the tJutler bill. He knew that the charter granted to the East Carolina Land and Railway Company was a fair, just and honest contract, made and entered into by the State Board, of Education and that m . , ... r . r company. 1 he suostitute oi tne sena tor ot New Hanover was proper and a good one. Twitty favored the Bellamy suostitute and the standing to the contract by the Legislature with the railroad company. Green, of Harnett, thought that it was not fair to now demand $25,000 in cash when the .State had agreed to take first mortgage bonds of the railroad company. Bellamy s substitute was adopted and the bill passed its second and third readings. Bin to allow K. a. jenning to register as a dentist; passed second and third readings, Bill to incorporate the town ot riuo, in Columbus county; passed third read ing. Bill to incorporate the Statesville Development Company; passed third reading. Bill to consolidate the Wilmington, Onslow & East Carolina Railroad and the East Carolina Land and Railway Company; passed third reading. SPECIAL ORDER. The Railroad Commission bill, the special order for 12 o'clock noon, was taken up. House amendment No. 1 to sec. 5 was concurred in. House amend ment No 2, to sec. 5 was also concurred in. House amendment to sec. 25 first, to oerm it witnesses and depositions to be heard in regard to killing live stock; second, that railroads shall be liable for three times the value of stock killed, was divided as above. Turner moved to amend by striking out sec. 25. He feared this section would invalidate the constitutionality of the bill. The right of trial by jury can not be abridged by the General Assem bly. It is a piece of great absurditv to jeopardize this bill by such enactment as this section provides. It was also calculated to heap up litigation and costs. Bellamy was peculiar in his ideas con cerning the killing of stock by railroads; he thought railroads shoud pay for killing of stock whether in the davtime or night time unless they fence their roads or are operating in stock law territory. He thought section 25 should be eliminated from the bill. Without reflection on the author of the bill, he thought there was no sense in the section. Avery also approved- the provisions of section 25, and thought it should be stricken out: but believed the Turner amendment was out of order, because it was not an amendment to an amend ment, but it was an amendment to the original bill. Butler opposed the Turner amend ment, because the bill without this stock killing feature in it would be very un DODular to a very large class of people Butlef was relating an incident of an old lady having a cow killed by a rail road in his county, who had supported herself and one child by the sale of but ter and milk, when Gilman interrupted him by asking how the old lady had lived since the cow was killed; which caused much merriment. Butler con tinued by stating that she had only been offered $7 50 for her cow or else to sue for her cow. " . , Aycock thought.section o snouia De efn.ten nnt Thi nrinciDal object Of this bill was to regulate freight and passenger tarjffs, and he could not see the good of jeopardizing the purposes ot the Din uy nangingon w ruenia.1 iuca ui iwnnug ox1" Turner s amendment to sinne out sec. 25 was lost.

To amend sec. 2589 of The Code the School bill increases taxation to lGc on the $100 worth of property and 50c on the poll, Sutton moved to amend so as not to apply to Cumberland county; he spoke of the heavy taxation in his county and remarked that the Committee of Fi nance had informed him that if the bill passed as it now stood the State tax would be over 51 cents on the $100 for the next year, if the appropriations necessary to run the State government were passed. The amendment was ruled out of order. Wood offered an amendment to the effect that the county commissioners might fix the tax in their respective counties from 124 cents up to 16 cents. Woollen moved to fix the tax at 14 cents. Alexander and Gilmer spoke in favor of the original bill and opposed the amendment. McGill said he desired to amend by permitting each county to levy a special tax of 4 cents. The Speaker ruled that as there were two amendments before the House it was not in order, but he was allowed to read it as part of his remarks. Gill thought the time consumed in discussing the measure would pay the tax and hoped the previous question would be called. Morton said he favored the proposi tion of the gentleman from Cumberland (McGfll) to allow the counties to levy a special tax if they thought fit, but not force this taxation on the poorer coun ties of the State. He favored education, but we should be just and reasonable. Mann took the same position- taken by Morton. Ray thought the Legislature was try ing to shift the responsibility to the townships of the State. We should cut off some of the other appropriations if necessary. Alexander called the previous ques tion. Sustained. Wood's amendment was lost. Wool len's amendment was then read. Stan cill called for the ayes and nays. The amendment was adopted by a vote of ayes 58, nays 53. Henry offered ,a substitute for the bill. Lost. McGill offered an amendment that each county may levy a special tax. Lost.
