hc Pontius Jto. WILMINGTON, N. C Saturday Morning, May 2, 1896 GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheit Declined on Steady Liquidating Oorn Closed Lower to 8ymptliy With Wheat-July IiHd Cloead Htghet-Bibi Zio-wer. ' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chicago. May 1 Most of this wheat found its war back into the bands of the elevator people, bat there was a good proportion of it handed oat to people who owned it, by reason of their holdings in May, bat who did not really want it and therefore were constrained to liquidate. If there had been any news of a bullish character received per haps these parties would have carried it for a while, but the absence of anything encouraging prompted immediate sales. July wheat opened at 64c; sold between 64c and 62S683c. closing at 62c 1MC under yesterday. Cash wheat was steady early, but was detrimentally influenced by. the weakness of futures later. Corn Deliveries of corn were mod erate, much of it coming for sale. Tra ding was not extraordinarily active however, and no great weakness was witnessed until the price of wheat took its final plunge, when the feeling in this market responded and a decline re sulted.1 There was a lack of confidence displayed and the inclination was to abide by the action of the leading grain. July opened at 30c. declined to 293c, closing at 29a9c under yesterday. Trading in cash corn was at steady prices, but a nominal loss at the close was quotable. X'. . Oats When the other grains set in to decline, there was prompt response in this market. July oats closed Hc under yesterday. Cash oats were steady early, but nominally weak at the close. Provisions The hog market con tributed the weakness which prevailed in product early, and wheat extended farther depression at the close. It was a notable feature that lard instead of de clining with pork and ribs, held firm and actually recorded again at the close in stead of showing a loss, as the other commodities did. Packers and profes sional traders express the opinion that with the continued heavy receipts of - hogs, there is little hope for product. July pork closed 25 cents lower; July lard 2 to 5 cents higher, and July ribs 5 cents lower. j BASE BALL. Beault of Qimai Flayed; Yeiterday Various Ploe. . .' .

A GLADIATORIAL CONTEST BETWEEN THE TWO SENATORS. Cleveland and HU Administration Attacked by Tillman and Defended by Hill Sen ator Butler Introduces a Beaolation Home Coateated Election Caiea Tbe Bankrupt Bill Disoassod. . By Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE." Washington,' May 1. The session of the Senate to-day was enlivened by two characteristic speeches a fiery and impetuous one from Mr. Tillman of South Carolina. Democrat, and a tem perate and suggestive one from Mr. Hill of New York, Democrat; Mr. Tillman, wearing in his neck-tie an emblem of his last speech in the Senate, a miniature gold pitch-fork, strode up and down on the Democratic side of the chamber, gesticulating forcibly and inveighing against the President, the Secretary of the Treasury and the bankers and money-lenders of Wall street, ana thrateQirjc the withdrawal of his State fmm the Democratic column if the Chi cago Convention should not declare in favor of free silver 16 to 1. Mr. Hill's reply to him was dignified but sarcastic He, too, spoke of the Chicago Con vention, declaring that -toe did not believe that Mr. Cleveland was a candidate for the nomination; said that he was not pledged to him or to any member of the Cabinet; eulogized Mr. Carlisle for his public services, while criticising him for his interference against he re-electiou of Senator Black burn; and closed a long speech with de claring that the policy of the Demo cratic party should be "in essentials, unity, in non-essentials, liberty, in all things, charity." Before the speech-making began, a vote was taken on Mr. Gorman's mo tion to reduce the number of battle ships provided for in the bill from four to two a reduction of $7,500,000 in ex pendituresand it was agreed to yeas. 81; nays, 27. Aother vote was taken on a motion by Mr. Allen of Nebraska, Populist, to strike out appropriations for these two battleships, but there were only thirteen Senators in favor of that proposition. An amendment was offered by Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, Republi can, appropriating $4,000,000 for two torpedo boats and for torpedo boat de stroyers; but a vote was not reached upon it. It was agreed, however, that the final vote on the Naval Appropria tion bill shall be taken before adjourn ing to-morrow, and the Senate, at 4 45 o'clock, adjourned until to-morrow. Before the Naval bill was taken up, Mr. Butler of North Carolina. Populist, introduced a bill to make the Mexican silver dollar, the Japanese yen and the ttade dollar equal in value to the stand ard silver dollar of the United States and a full legal tender to any amount for all debts and demands, public or private; and he made an argument in support of it. The gold standard he characterized as the ' standard of Sbylock." He ar gued that under the clause of the consti tution which forbids the States to make anything but gold and silver a legal ten der they had a right to make gold aad silver coins a legal tender; and he ex pressed the hope that if the United States did not do so the individual States would. He would certainly strive to have the State of North Car olina do so. The bill was referred to the Finance Committee. The Tillman-Hill debate came about while Mr. Chandler's torpedo boat amendment was under discussion. De voting only a few sentences to the amendment and then leaving the ques tion of speeches, Mr. Tillman said he would follow the precedents set in the resalution and talk of the financial question in answer to various speeches made at d fTerent times and places by various men, some Senators and some not. He proceeded to criticise one of the speeches made some time ago by Mr. Hill in defence of the administra tion in issuing bonds. He characterized Mr. Hill's argument on that point as "the tyrant's plea of necessity." : "With the representatives of the peo ple in session," he continued, -the President overrides all decency, over rides the will of his own party, and ac complishes by indirection what he has no authority ta do directly." He complained of having been com prised by Mr. Hill with Senators whom the New York Senator had ridiculed by comparing them with the "Tailors of Tooley street," who issued their pro clamation beginning with "We, the peo ple of England." Mr. Hill assured Mr. Tillman that he had not comprised him among the Populists of the Senate. The Senator, he said, had a right to define his own position, and if he had defined himself as a Populist, he (Mr. Hill) should be entirely content. 'If I was in the company of Pooulists," Mr. Tillman soon rapped out, "I was in better company than some Senators who pose as Labor Democrats and are nothing but Republicans in disguise. And I will prove that they are Republi cans before I get through." Mr. Tillman went on to speak of the politics of South Carolina and said that he could tell what Sooth Carolina would do "and that." said he to Mr. Hill, "is what you cannot do." ! "Would the Senator have ns infer from that," Mr. Hill asked in his mildest tones, "that he can take the Demo cratic State of South Carolina over to the ranks of the Populists," "1 will tell you," Mr. Tillman replied, "what the Democrats of South Caro lina propose to do. I can speak tor my State, and you cannot speak for yours. Whether I represent the State of South Carolina or not, I want to show you what the Senator from New York repre sents and what he claims to represent. You," he said, addressing Mr. Hill with all the contempt he could pat into his voice and manner, "represent the people; yes, you represent the bond holders and bankers of New York city and nothing else." He went on to declare, on behalf of the agricultural classes, that they would repudiate botb the principal and inter est of the bonds. "And if not," Mr. Hill said with sar casm, "we will have bloodshed, I sup pose.'" "You can force the bloodshed," Mr. Tillman shouted excitedly, "I tell you that we are desperate." "That is very evident," Mr. Hill inter posed with a sneer. "Yes." Mr. Tillman retorted, "and be fore It is done with we will make some body else desperate, my friend. I know whereof I speak. There is a greater feeling in the States west of the Missis sippi against the bond holding people of New York and the East than there ever was against tne people oi tne aontn. I paraphrase the remarks ot Charles Sumner, 'Gold monometallism is sec tional; free silver is national.'" Mr. Tillman went on to contrast the two Democratic leaders, Calhoun and Cleveland, and said that Calhoun stood up for the people at large, while Cleve land was the exemplar and tool of the money classes and represented only the almighty dollar. .He sneered at Mr. Cleveland s veto of small pension bills while he "turned over ten millions dol lars to one Jew." Laughter. Mr. Tillman declared that Mr. Cleve land bad no financial policy except that of Senator Sherman, and said that Sec retary Carlisle and Senator Sherman had exactly the same notions. When ever he mentioned Carlisle he meant Sherman, for they were interchangeable, except that the one was honest to his friends the bankers, while the other had proved treacherous to his party." "If silver coinage was established by Congress," he said, when he got on an other tack, "there would be an effort by the Shylocks to foreclose their mort gages and thus reap the fruits of their roguery. They are now swallowing us by degrees and" I would prefer to be swallowed all at once, like Jonah, and be done with it." Laughter. The Senator from New York, Mr. Tillman continued, "asked me what I was going to do with South Carolina at Chicago. I will say this to him: I ex pect to go to Chicago as a delegate to the National Convention. I expect to do my level best as a Democrat to keep my party back out ef the woods of Re publicanism, and to throw off all the slough and rottenness that it has accum ulated during the last three years. But if boodle is to win at Chicago, then I am willing to take my hat and bid the Senator from New York and all like .hira'a long farewell.' " This sentence was delivered in such a ludicrous man ner as to provoke general laughter throughout the chamber. "As to where I will go," Mr. Tillman continued, "I do not know.- I will not so to Populism. But Populism is sim ply an expression of wrath and anger on the part ot the disgusted Democrats and disgusted Republicans. The Popul.sts were in error at the last Presidential election. 'They spattered themselves on the wall.' Laughter Those of us Democrats who have not been de bauched, or who do not allow gold to control us, will line up somewhere; but' we will not be, after the election, under the gold standard. If we do not get a recognition of silver at the Chicago Convention, then the Democratic party is dead forever. A new party will spring into existence. -- If we cannot beat you this time we will serve not ce on vou that we will tare America for Americans, and 'to hell with Great Britain and the Tories.' Lauzhter. "If we do not beat you in 189S, we will interest you in 1900." Mr. Hill spoke of Mr. Tillman's speech as a remarkable performance, which did not call for any special reply from him. It would have been wiser, perhaps, when that Senator gave to the Senate and to the country the spectacle which he did the last time he spoke, never to allude to anything he said. Possibly he (Mr. Hill) erred to-day in noticing some of his suggestions. The Senator from South Carolina had. not wholly ad dressed his remarks to the Naval Ap propriation bill, but had spoken of the finances, -of the bond issues and of the bond investigation and bad finally wound up by forming a new party all by himself and South Carolina. Laughter. 1 ' With much that he had said he (Mr. Hill) had no concern. In his criticisms of the administration he did not propose to reply. He had (as the Senate of the country knew) little in common with the administration. He had not been the recipient of its patronage or favors. Therefore he'did not propose to notice, except very brief!, some ot the gratuit ous, uncalled-for and undignified re marks of his friend from South Caro lina, who . loved him.'" Laughter and applause "If 'his friend,'" he. added, "was not on the straight road which led to Populism, he was on the straight road to some worse place." Mr. Hill went on to speak of the regular Democracy of the State of New York, and said that it could not be charged with responsibility for the nomination of Mr. Cleveland in 1892. "I recollect." he said, -that State after State in the South instructed their delegates for free silver and Grover Cleveland. They have not got free silver but (with bitter sarcasm) they got Mr. Cleveland. General laughter. The regular Democracy of New York pro tested against it, f but after the nomina tion was made, loyal Democrats as they are, thev went back and joined them in giving New York again to the Demo cratic column. And no matter what may be in store for ns in the next cam paign, come victory br defeat, come come sunshine or shadows.. I will be found in both, whoever may bj the Democratic candidate and in behalf ot whatever may be the National Dem ocratic platform. Applaos:. From this point and for two hours longer, the discussion continued in the same excited style, Mr. Tillman very frequently breaking in with his caustic remarks and Mr. Hill retorting in kind. At last the presi ding officer (Mr. Frye) insisted on the observance of the rule that a Sena tor who desired to interrupt should first address the chair. Mr. Tillman promised that he would comply with the rule, but Mr. Hill had not gone on another minute before Mr. Tillman again broke in to the great amusement of Senators and audience. Further on Mr. Tillman made a re mark as to Mr. Hill joining the Repub lican party. "If vou "de not go to the Populist party." Mr. Hill retorted, "until I go to the Republicans, you will never get there. You could not kick either of us out of the Democratic party." Mr. Hill alluded to Mr. Tillman's at tack upon the President. Because, he said, he had vetoed a pension Dill for some deserters of camps, and he added: "In my bumble judgment, he is not a candidate for re-election. Why trouble ourselves in regard to him ? Let us pre pare for the conflict against our com mon enemy. Let us not quarrel among ourselves. We should pursue this policy in essentials, unity, in non-essentials, liberty, in all things, charity." Mr. Hill closed his speech with these words, amid applause. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Codding of Pennsylvania, Repub lican, submitted the unanimous report of Elections Committee No. 8 in the case of Joshua E. Wi;s-n, Republican, vs John L. McLaurin, Democrat,, from the Sixth Congressional District of South, Carolina, that Mr. McLaurin was enti tled to his seat. The report was agreed to. Mr. Overstrect of Indiana, Republi can, from the same committee, reported the case of George W. Murtay, Republi can, vs. William Elliott, Democrat, trom the Fits: district of South Carolina, the committee finding that Murray (colored) who represented the district in the last Congress was entitled to the seat now. The minority of the committee was given leave to file their views and the caie went to the calendar. . Most ot the session of the House was occupied In discussing under the five minute rale and in Committee of the Whole the section in the Bankruptcy bill reciting the causes for which pro ceedings may be begun against a debtor. Two amendments were pro posed one by W. A. Stone of Pennsyl vania. Republican, abolishing altogether the involuntary feature, and one by Mr. Broderick of Kansas, Republican, limit ing the causes to all that are criminal or fraadnlent in their nature for proceed ing against a debtor. In the course of the debate Mr. Henderson of Iowa, Re publican, quoted ex President Harrison, in favor ot the bill, reading from a letter received to-day: "I think the impression that some of our Boards of Trade had upon the bankruptcy question was that, by reason of the nearness of our mer chants to their customers they had an advantage with the failing debtor over the distant creditor, and that this would be surrendered under a Bankruptcy bill It seems tonie to be a short-sighted view of the question." The propositions were pending when the House at 5 o'clock, under the rules, took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration of private pension bills. By a vote of 39. to 89, the committee refused to take corporations out of the operation of the bill. . The bill to give Alaska a delegate in Congress was discussed briefly and by a vote of 60 to 44 the House voted against the engrossment of the measure a prac tical defeat. A-bill was passed to admit free of duty articles of foreign manufacture intended for exhibition at the Nashville exposition iu 1897 and to admit persons engaged to care for such exhibits. THE STATE OF TRADE. BelatJvely Lass Improvement B sported by Bradatraet's Mora Favorable Beporta From Soma Business Centres. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, May. 1. Bradstreet says: There is relatively less improve ment in general trade this week, the present partaking of a between-seasons character. Wholesale merchants in staple lines in many instances look ahead with confidence to the Autumn and in such departments as agricultural implements, building material and hard ware, there is reported a moderate re-:. vival in demand. More favorable re ports are received from Pittsburg, whete merchants have had the largest week's trade thus far this season; Buffalo, where the feeling is one of more confi dence, and from. Atlanta and New Or leans, where request in wholesale lines is more active. At Baltimore, wholesalers announce only a fair business and that interior dealers have not disposed of stocks as rapidly as anticipated. The" movement of goods from Gal vtston is not active, but in view of the large Texas acreage of cot on, more confi dence is felt that Fall tiade will meet expectations. Bullish speculation in the New York stock market is checked by the renewal of gold shipments and the halt in the London market, caused by events in South Africa. Declines are moderate and traders., though expecting reaction, ;act cautiously on the bear side. Public in terest, however, is suspended and quota tior s are the result of professional activ ity. y ; There is an unexpectedly small num ber of strikes at this season. In iron and steel there are advances in pricr s for spe cial grades of pig iron, due toths output of Lake ores required for their produc tion having been practically taken up by a few intercs s. The so called steel trust is reported extending its territory. Quotations for Southern pig have been cut, as are those for the f;w sales of Bes semer pig and billets made by middle men. . An addition to changes in prices of iron and tteel, higher quotations are an nounced for coffee, cotton, petroleum and anthracite coal, while print cloths and lumber are practically unchanged. Copper is easier and wool has been sold at concessions. Cotton goods are -de-. I pressed, notwithstanding the strength of cotton. Lower prices are noted for wheat, flour, corn, oats, pork, lard and sugar- The reaction in quotations for shoes has brought prices down to the level of 1894, at which the factories are fairly busy and have rather more confi dence, j---Total bank clearings amount to $982 000,000 this week, a decrease from last week of not quite 8 per cent, and a fall ing off as compared with the correspond ing week last year of 10 per cent. ' April bank clearings reflect continued quiet in business and speculation, the gain being only nine-tenths of one per cent, over April. 1895. Weekly totals of business failures throughout the United States, while averaging fewer than in weeks during the first quarter of the year, still attract attention. The total number re ported is 154 this week, against 240 last week and 206 in the last week of April, 1895. TREASURY STATEMENT. Receipts and Expenditures oi tne Govern mentA.

Paine's Celery Compound, the Great Spring Remedy, Made Him Well. A congressman is a public set van t in the full sense of the word. He is responsible to his constituents, to his party, to himself, the honorable office is full of hard, thankless work and heavy responsibility. Congressman William W. Grout is grateful to the friend who directed him to Paine's celery compound, when pro longed official work had well nigh ex hausted his health and strength. His letter reads : Committee on Expend 'resthe War Dept. House of Representatives, U. S.. Washington, D. C, Feb. 28. 1896. I found relief in Paine's, celery com pound for insomnia. Its action on the circulation and digestion was also bene ficial. Yery truly yours, , William W. Grout. There is somethieg wrong when one feels "tired all the time." It is contrary to every condition of good health. There ought to b: no necessity of Irumming into the ears of tired men and women who feel they are broken in health, and are every day losing in weight and strength, the urgent need of taking Paine's celery compound, now 'tis spring, to restore their spent nerve force and pu rify their blood. X Some of the earliest good result s no ticed trom taking Paine's celery com pound during these spring days is a re gularity of the bowels, a better appe tite, sound sleep, and good digestion. ; SPOTS AND FUTURES v ToUl Bet BMipta of Cotton at tha Porta Now York Sun' Beview .of the '.Cotton Market.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. U in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. A healthy blood supply is regulated by the nerves, and when these vital tissues become fatigued and badly nourished. the bad effect is seen in failing digestion, distressing, ringing sounds in the ears dizzy spells, depression, neuralgia and lassitude, bpring days afford every one the opportunity for shaking off old weakness and persistent disorders. Physicians of every school have been from the start arged to inquire into the formula of Paine's celery compound, that they might satisfy themselves of its wonderful power of making the sick well. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. u ll, u., as soon as he' pre sented Paine's celery compound to his fellow physicians, was always anxi ous to nave tne invigorator tried in cases that had resisted the usual meth ods ot treatment, that he might prove the truth ot every claim made for his newly discovered formula for Paine's celery compound. The great remedy al ways gave relief, and in 99 cases out of 100 made people well. Paine's celery compound cannot be judged by the standard of any ordinary medicine, sarsaparilla or nerve tonic. It is a great modern, scientific discovery, s'ngularly unlike any remedial agent that has ever aimed to effect a similar purpose to make people well. Paine's celery compound is the cne real spring remedy known to-day that never fails to benefit. Get Paine's cel ery compound, and only Paine's celery compound if you wish to be well. x THE TRUCK MARKET. New York Prloee For Southern Fruits and X Vegetables. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
