It is under partisan'controL, it is true, and among the Senators r are some extreme partisans like In ' galls, Chandler, Hoar, Spooner and Edmunds, but there is more indi - yiduality in the Senate, more per sonal independence and less of the caucus whip, less will in(rnp5Q! .tn cnrrpnrlpr rrilpii - ihrfi' 'yiduality to boss dictatorship, and hence there is a'-freer expression of opinidn and more divergence of views even upon party questions in the Senate than in the.House. There jis also a great deal of human nature m the average Senator, which impels .him very often to govern his action by his personal interests and to ivote for. or against measures upon that ground. -The Republican!

There was friction al through, on the pension bills, on the silver bill. on the appropriation bills and the differences on each had to be settled by, conference committees, the House generally insisting and yielding; but little, if any, to the Senate. This bill will give some" of the Senators ' -who may be disposed to resent ithis, a splendid opportunity to do it; and hip Mr. Reed's pin-feathers at the 6ame time, by defeating his pet mea sure. It will give the silver Senators of the West a fine opportunity re turn their compliments and get even with him for the cavalier manner in which he handled the silver bill when it went to the House. 7 If they don't avail themselves of this opportunity they deserve to be cuffed. But aside from all this, there is a Senatorial courtesy which prevails and is by usage almost as strong jas law, and stronger than law some times, which concedes ' every Sena tor who desires an opportunity ito be heard on every question as often as he chooses, so that the Democratic Senators can talk oh this bill till next fall if they find it necessary, and talk it to death.

', DO THEY SPEAK FOR THE ALLI ANCE? ;l We published in the Star of yes terday the result of the conference between the Democratic County Ex- ecutive Committee and Captain b. W. Noble. President of the New Hanover County Farmers' Alliance, and T. W. Millis, representing the Alliance, in which they demanded representative farmers on the .legis lative ticket and representation in in the Congressional and State Con ventions. In the face of this demand. they not only refused ito promise to support the "representative jfarm- er" if put upon the ticket unless he shduld subscribe to the "Alliance demands," but on the contrary un hesitatingly asserted that they would "support the Republican candidate in preference should tie subscribe to the Alliance demands even though the Democratic party ;di vide its nom inees with the Alliance." If j these Alliance representatives truly Irepre sent the Alliance ot tnis country; ana speak by authority itj simply -means that i the Democratic party must abandon its ' distinct orgariikation, abandon its platformj make itself an annex of the County Farmers' AlliT ance, and stand on its piattorm. - 1 o say that this is a very broad and a is a very broad and very unreasonable demand is Ito put it very mtidly and to say. that it comes with (a very bad grade ifrom an Alliance which was organized since tne county convention was held, and the nominations f made, which does not number more than a few dozen bona fide least one of whose' on this occasion has! farmers,) and at representatives not acted; with the Democratic party in years, is putting it yery mildly, toO had the candor, hdwever, to They show their hands,! leaving no doubt as to where they stood, by openly declar ing that they would support 3 Re publican inj preference to a Demo crat if the Republican subscjribed to their pledges. I ; l I 1 This substantially, if it is to be the policy of the Alliance, will simply make the Farmers' Alliance an arfnex of the Republican party. In an edi torial on this subject a few (lays ago we asserted, the belief that every Re publican candidate! to whom these "demands") were 'presented would sign them, while Democrats who had more regard for honesty ; and sin cerity would refuse, and this would drive the Alliance ko the alternative of nominating candidates' of their own or of, supporting Republican candidates, a position which is sup ported by the declaration of! these two representatives of the New Han over Alliance, the first declaration of the kind which has been so far pub licly made. j ' ; Are the Alliance Democrats of North Carolina j prepared for this? Are they prepared to give their sup port to Republican candidates and turn the State over to the Republi can party because Democratic can didates refuse to1 play the sneaking demagogue and sign !any, which may be presented to paper ttfem. simply to catch the votei of the men who present them? The .man who would truckle that way and abandon principle to win the favor I of the many or few, is unworthy of confi dence and even of respect, and the Party that would do it isn't fit to live. ' ; ! ! - ' - We do not believe that these rep resentatives of the New Hanover Alliance voice the sentiments of the Democratic members of the Alliance in Worth Carolina; we do hot be lieve they voice 'the sentiments of the Democratic membejrs of the New ance ; we have too much confidence in the o-'ood SPn the conservatism and the patriotism of the Democrats in the North Car olina Alliance to believe that they will thus consent to i let. their order be made an appendage ; to the Re publican, party and ; themselves he. made instrumental in turning this State oyer to Republican1 rule. That is the logical result of ;; the j position taken by these representatives of the New Hanover Alliance. if it means fanything. If this is jthe pol icy to be pursued the people should know "it, and if it is! not, the Demo crats in the .'Alliance-who do not pro pose to be bound and delivered in that way should speak but I and re- pudiate itf STATE TOPICS, Charlotte now boasts of a public bath, out! in the suburbs, a pool where those frequenting jit may not only bathe1, but which is large enough to afford room for young people to learn ; to swim.

The Means by Which an agreement Was Reached on the Measure by Senate and House Conference. " -r By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, July 7.T-The conferees on the part of the two Houses this af ternoon reached an agreement on points of difference on the Silver bill, This re sult, which was hardly expected to be reached so soon, was brought about in this way: After the first ineffectual conference last Thursday.the Republican members decided that an agreement eould be more speedily and satisfactorily reached by a party consultation rather than in a conference open to both politi cal parties. Accordingly Senators Sher man and Jones and Representatives Conger and Walker entered upon the task of drafting the compromise measure. They progressed so rapidly in this that the conference substitute was completed in all essential points save one and sent to the printer yesterday. The one point left open related to the amount of silver bullion to be purchased. Messrs. Sher man, Conger and Walker thought that four million ounces monthly would be a fair compromise, but Senator Jones- de clared for fouranda half million ounces. Such was the state of affairs this morn ing, when overtures were again made to Mr. Jones to accept four and a quarter million ounces. Western Senators are "in receipt of telegrams urging them to hold out for the full amount of four and a half ipillion ounces, and to insist upon a speedy disposition of the bill. So the jovertures were rejected, and when the proposition was made to take up the tariff bill in the Senate this afternoon the silver men manifested their power; to check the flow of party legislation,: Unless their demands were met. Soon afterward the Republican members of the conference were again -called to- gether; the words "five hundred thou -jsand" were added to the four million ounces contained in the printed confer ence substitute, and the agreement was completed and formally ratified, al though the Democratic members refused to sign the report.

About 330 p. m. yesterday this place was visit ed by the worst wind and hail storm ever known, demolishing houses tree, and upsetting things in general. A few itioments before the storm, which came without warning, the steam yacht Little Nellie, of this place, used for towing purposes, left this port with a pile driver, bound for the Vermont shore, distant about three miles. When about simile out she was lost to sight, and little hopes were entertained of her reaching a safe port to await the pass ing of the storm. As soon as the storm as over search was made for the miss ing vessel. Twenty boats left port f to lbok for her, but the search wAs in vain, as she had gone down. Capt. Geo. Claive, his son, and engineer Hill were drowned. But one man was saved, and he had a terrible experience. Being in the pilot house when the boat Capsized he also went down with the boat, but when she struck the boltom he broke through the window and made his way to the surface of the Water, where he battled with the wind, rain and hail for over an hour, being res cued in an exhausted condition. His hands and face were badly cut. For Some reason the man refused to give his name. Parties are searching for the missing bodies, but as yet without suc cess. It is feared there were other casualties, as several fishing parties on the lake have not yet put in an appear ance. -( I White Hall, N. Y., July! 9. A cy clone at Plattsbuigh last evening did considerable damage. , The wires are all down. The Hotel Champlain, at Bluff Point, escaped; no guests were lost or injured. , i Cleveland, July 9. The wind storm which swept this city last evening was perhaps the most severe, as regards de struction to property, ever experienced. 'The advance of the storm seemed to be a number of sharp, quick gusts of wind that wrecked chimneys, blew down trees, and sent everything .movable through the air. Its coming was shown by a cloud of dust, fully one- hundred feet 'high, which obscured the sun and made the streets as dark as at midnight. Not a single object could be discerned at a distance of fifty feet. The fine dust filled the eyes and sifted into the clothing land breathing to those on the streets was impossible without a handkerchief pressed to the nostrils. Then came the rain, in rushing, swirling sheets, and beat down many plants and caused an exceedingly heavy loss to crops. The rainfall.measured but 3.10 of an inch, however, and the precipitation was therefore insufficient to cause heavy floods. I : t j ; The storm probably destroyed more trees than any that has occurred here in years. In every part of the city large trees were uprooted as tnougn tney had oeen pulled from the ground, by I the force "of the wirlwind, and ! the streets everywhere were littered with broken branches and, there was no lack of evidence that the storm was of most unusual violence. The- course of the wind was uncertain and it shifted in eddies and whirling currents in a man ner best calculated to cause heavv loss of property. , - i ' WASHINGTON NEWS A House Bill to Establish Industrial Train j Jng Schools and Provide Land For.
