The golden eagiej so much ad mired by visitors .o the Zoological park, has been named "Volunteer." It is said that this name was applied to this "proud bird of liberty in hpnor of our district militia, a mem ber of which organization, it is claimed, presented the bird to the park. This impression is erroneous. This magnificent specimen of the golden eagle has an 'interesting "his tory. It is, in reality, the property of ex-President Cleveland, It was captured -on Bay's Mountain, East Tennessee, during the Christmas holidays 6f 1887, by a party of boys while out hunting. (The eagle had injured one of its wings whiie dart ing after a rabbit, and. was picked up by the boys-. '. Capt. Thomas Toralinson of f ates -Springs, in the Tennessee mountains, secured tfie eagle and sent it as a Christmas present to President Cleve land. In an autograph letter thank ing Capt. Tomlihsoni for the present, Mr. Cleveland expressly stated that the bird would be sent to the zoolo- gical collection in Washington for proper care, but that he would retain a property interest in the eagle. It ' would, he said, be placed on public exhibition in the park, where it was hoped it would quicken ' the patriotic impulses of the people a sentimen' apparently in need of a (.stimulant in the United States. Capt. Tomlin- son will take steps to have the bird's history and name properly corrected. - TUe Democratic Platform on the Force Bill.

New 'York Times. ."Speaking -of the tariff,". - said a New York merchant, 'take linens; On those that run over 100 threads to the square inch the duty is 35 per cent., on those that run 100 threads or less the duty is 0 per cent. . This makes a plain discrimination m favor of the wealthier classes, who ;can afford to buy a fine grade of linen. The poor people, who have to use the coarse and cheap kind, have to pay more" for it in- proportion than the wealthier citizens do for theirs. Of course the idea was to protect the American manufacturer of linen. The thing has been tried, but save for the manufacture ; of the cheaper grades of crash it has proved a failure. "Take worsted dress goods, too, on which we pay an ad valorem and a weight duty also. Here's some thing that costs 2s. 6d. on the other side. That is, 60 cents. . The ad va lorem duty is 50 per cent. that makes the goods cost 90 cents a yard. It weighs thirteeh ounces to the yard, aud the weight, duty is 44 cents a pound, or 36 rents per yard. So a yaid of the stuff costs us: - Original cost. . .60 I Weight . . .86 Ad valorem:. . .80 Total....;... .............$1.26 'That we sell for $1.50 per yard, and the cost of it in England was only 60 cents. .

'The same way, too, with coat linings; what we pay 14 cents for on the other side cost 30 cents landed here. " "In the face of all this, the manu facturers over there claim that they are making money. And the fact remains that we are selling more goods than ever; .the people need them, and it" shows that "the goods are not produced on this side when they continue to buy foreign goods so lavishly." WEATHER CROP-BULLETIN. For the Week Ending Monday, Aug. 1st, 1892. Central Office, Raleigh, N. C. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service, for the week end ing Monday, August 1st, 1892, show that the past week has generally been unusually warm and dry. The maxi temperature has been above 90 de grees every day andf eached 100 de grees at Lumberton on the 29th and 30tb. It has been one of the longest continued dry hot spells experienced in this State for a long time. Very little ram fell anywhere until last Saturday, when local showers oc curred and lessened the heat consid erably. The average rain-fall for this week of July is 1.36 inches. The prospects are now for occa sional shower and much cooler wea ther. - Reports are very diversified as to the injurious or beneficial effect of the weather on crops. Cotton has been improved: corn and tobacco slightly injured. The dryness has had injurious effect on upland crops; the heat has in a tew-cases caused corn and tobacco to turn yfllow. It is believed on the whole that the damage is slight. On the other hand, many crops have been improved. Threshing of wheat and bats is completed, and the 'yield good. Hay-making is in progress. The conditions have been similar in all districts. The following rams were reported: Charlotte, 0.51- inch; Greensboro, 0.20; Raleigh, 0.36; Weldon, 0.17; Wilmington, 0.16; Lumberton, 0.10; Saxon, 0.24; Oak Ridge, 0.64; Chapel Hill, 0.77; Davidson, 0.03; Asheville, 0.07; L'ewiston, 0.20; Fayetteville, 1.52.

The attendance of Senators thismorn- ing was not indicative of any great suc cess haying attended the telegraphic summons of the Vice-President recall ing ' absentees. , The Vice-President stated, however, that no less than 31 such telegrams had been sent out, and he laid before the Senate four telegrams received by him alleging sickness as the cause of absence. These, were from Messrs. Wilson. Casey.Dolph and Faulk ner. Leave of absence was granted, be sides, to Mr. flatt tor the remainder of the session, and to Mr. Gibson for to morrow. ' ; On motion of Mr., Hawley, the invi tation of the Executive Committee hav ing in charge the reception of the G. A. K. at the encampment in September was accepted on the part of the Senate, and a committee of five Senators pro vided for. . The House joint resolution extending the appropriations included in the Sun dry Civil bill till next Thursday, was received from the House, lafd before the Senate and passed. , ' . - No question came up that required ascertainment of the fact whether there was a voting quorum present or not. If it had been necessary to test that point the result would probably have been a demonstration in the negative, but there d uuiuiuj; in lu-uay a tiin.ccuuig9 mat. required any formal vote. X he. loint resolution extending till next Thursday last year's appropriation for the Government bureaus covered by and included in the Sundry Civil Appropria tion bill (still pending in the House) was passed without a word of remark and without any division. Almost all that occuDied the attention of the Senate were speeches on the tariff question, by Messrs. Hawley and His cock, advocating and defending the pol icy ot protection and the statement by Mr. Vest, respecting the profits of the Arlington wool mills. 1 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Hoi man moved to suspend the rules and pass the joint resolution ex tending until August 4th the appropri ations made by the Sundry Civil act of last year. The joint resolution extending appro priations until August 4th was passed without opposition, but us passage was preceded by a rather spice y discussion, Hardly had tne speaKer announced its passage, when there was an exodus ot Government printers from the public gallery, i .The House has passed a bill changing the date ot dedication ol the building ot the World's Columbian Exposition from the 12th to the 21st of October. It had required a call of the House before yesterday's Journal could be ap proved, and now, after passage of the Sundry Civil extension resolution and the bill changing the date of dedication of the World's Fair building, the quorum vanished. Mr. hoi man moved to suspend tne rules and pass the bill appropriating $50,000 for the relief of the Mississippi flood sufferers. Mr. Kilgore raised the point of no quorum, and but 138 mem bers responding the House adjourned. A Democratic caucus was announced for this evening at 8 o'clock. . SENATE. : Washington, D. C Aug. 2., The attendance of Senators to day was still smaller than yesterday or during most of the last week. .There were pre sent during the opening proceedings ten Senators on the Republican side and six on the Democratic side. These numbers, however, were gradually increased until they we nearly doubled. : The Vice-President laid before the Senate the resolution reported yester day from the Committee on Education and Labor for the appointment of a select committee of seven Senators on the employment ot Pinkerton Detec tives in labor troubles. Mr. Sherman stated the reasons why he thought the question should not1 be tatcen up now In the first place the House of Repre sentatives had already in a very lair and dispassionate way taken up the question and examined into the matter., ihen the subject involved to some extent the domain of a sovereign state, urtences referred to in the resolution had origi nated in an old and well-ordered com munity. . The third reason why it should not be acted on now was that the Senate itself was halt alive and half dead, waiting to close its session in peace, and with hard ly enough Senators present to constitute a quorum. Still he was bound to say that the principal question raised, as to whether any man or corporation mignt employ armed men, was a very import ant one. He doubted whether any cor- ooration had the right to hire such janizaries. He hoped that the resolu tion would be pllowed to go over till next session. Mr. Palmer replied to Mr. Sherman's objections and favored the proposed in vestigation, saying that the importance of it could not be over-stated. The country would be startled at the amount of the information that would be collect ed as to the extent to which such dan gerous semi-political and semi-military organizations, . responsible neither to God nor man, were employed, They ought to be hunted down as "enemies of mankind." i Mr. Vest also favored the proposed investigation and said that the fin leer ton force had ceased to be a detective bureau, and was now a' standing army, He described the foray and raide made bv the Pinkerton force ' into Missouri when the homestead ot the James orotn ers was surrounded, ana wnen in me i . -.i most cruel and cowardly manner hand grenades were thrown into the house where women and children were sleep ing. Mr. Uuay said that it tne select com mittee ceald go to Homestead and in fluence adjustment as to wages it would be welcome there; otherwise people of Homestead were not anxious for it. Mr. Galhneer did not think there was any force in Mr. Sherman's objection. It was full time, he believed, that Congress,, by bill or otherwise, protect the people! of the country from the invaision ot an illegal, unauthorized and murderous moo of men. V- Mr. Call also favored investigation, oni the ground that the invasion of a State by Pinkerton's forces was "treason within the constitutitional definition o the term. - Mr. Sanders contended that the firs question presenting itself in the matter) was the question of jurisdiction. And where authority rested to prevent the passage of armed men, intent on a spe cific errand, as described in the. resolu tion. He thought, however, that the in- nuirv might be made. Useful. It would be a contribution to good government if it should be found that Congress had no mirar to nresenbe ' a remedv but that absolute and supreme power was in the States themselves. -. ' i Mr.' Morgan stated that the trouble and exasDeration at Homestead arose from the fact that foreign men from other States collected from the slums of large cits toughs and vagabonds had been hired to take possession of the works where the "Homestead people contended thev had the -right to be These people had been faithful and dilk gent in business, economical and frugal, and thev had conceived the idea that they had the right to fix with their em olovers a certain basis of wages; -i Mr. Hawley argued that the questions involved were capable of settlement within the lines of the State. power; but said that there was no panacea, no nos trum, no modern invention that would settle them. They could ultimately only be settled by common sense on the part of the employer and common sense on the part- of . the employed. - There was out one effective remedy for them "The Golden Rule." The remarks of Mr. Palmer some time since, that the Homestead workmen were entitled to stay - there and to be employed there were exceedingly- distasteful to him. They had no such right; but. the em ployer who would turn out men who had been long in his service was a brute. a beast. . At 2 o'clock discussion was suspended and Mr. Butler offered a resolution for reference ot general Appropriation bills at the next session and thereafter to a standing committee having the subject matter in charge, leaving only to the Appropriations Committee the Legisla tive, Executive and Judicial Appropria tion bills, the Sundry Civil bill, the Pen sion bill, and the Deficiency bill. He asked that the resolution be laid on the table, and he gave notice that he would call it up at the beginning of the next session. - ' '-'. 'X.:Jr Mr. Gorman asked . leave ot absence for Mr. Hill for the remainder of he session, and it was granted. The Pinkerton resolution was then further discussed and finally adopted without division It provides for a select committee ot seven Senators to investi gate and report the" facts ; in relation to the employment for private purposes ot armed txjdiea of men or detectives In connection with the differences between workmen and employers, the reasons for the creation ot such organized bodies of armed men, their character and . uses. where, when how and by whom they have been employed and paid, and under what authority. . : Several private bills were passed and the Senate adjourned.. . : HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Immediately after, the reading of the Journal and reference of a dozen Senate bills, filibustering .began over the World s Fair amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. The House. by unanimous consent, at the suggestion of Mr. Dockery, took a recess for fifteen minutes to give an opportunity to the Democrats - who - were at caucus last night to explain to their absent col leagues the object of the action taken. At the end oi the recess, at the sugges tion of Mr: Bankhead, another : recess was taken for half an hour. - The second recess terminated at noon, when the House was again called. to or der, only to take a further recess for an hour. This recess was taken by unani mous consent at the instance of Mr. Mc Millin. At the conclusion of the third recess it was found that not more than a hundred members were in their seats, but in a few moments this number was augmented. The Democrats utilized the short vacation in holding a conference in the. committee 'room, but the unper turbed Republicans attended to their correspondence, or indulged in desultory conversation. - A question came up on a motion to adjourn until Friday. This was defeated 22 to 72 and Mr. Kilgore raised the point of no quorum. A call of the House was ordered. One hundred and eighty-three mem bers havibg responded to their names, further proceedings under the call were dispensed witb. On motion ot Mr. Lanham, of Texas, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved. That the condition of public business imperitively demands the im mediate presence of all absent members of the House; that the Speaker be and he is hereby requested to urge all such absentees to return at once; that all leaves of absence heretofore grant ed are j revoked; that it any ab sent member shall fail to return or notify the Speaker that he is en route to the Capitol within the next two days, the Sergeant-at-arms shall in person or by deputy proceed at once to the resi dence of such absent member and en force his attendance. 1 In obedience to this instruction, the Speaker, sent the following telegram to each of the absentees: "I urgently . re quest your immediate attendance here, We cannot break the dead-lock without a full attendance and we cannot adjourn without disposing of the Sundry Civil bill. All leaves of absence are revoked, Adjourned. . SENATE. Washington, D. C, Aug. 3. There were very few Senators present when to-day's session opened, nor did there appear to be any pressure of bust ness belore the body. Leave of absence, on account of ill health, was granted to Mr. Kenna. The resolution offered by Mr. Petti. grew calling on the Secretary of-War for reports as to all army officers who have been tried by court martial during the past ten years, their rank, offence, verdict rendered and punishment imposed, was the subject of considerable .discussion. Obiection was made to it by Messrs Hawley, Call, Bate, Manderson. Palmer, Sanders and Proctor, on the ground that full publicity had been given- to each case at the time it occurred, and that the effect (if not the motive of the resolu tion) was to renew scandal and to expose the officers concerned and their rela tives to further disgrace, pain and mor tification, without the possibility of any good being done by the publication. l be resolution was advocated by Messis. Pettigrew and Davis, the for mer arguing that the public had the right to know the " facts, and the latter claiming that the report might form the basis of a radical and philosophical re form of military jurisdiction. Finally. on motion of Mr. Manderson, the reso lution was referred to the Committee on Military. - The resolution offered by Mr. Call on the lath ot May tor appointment ot a joint committee of the two Houses to examine and report on tne commercial and political conditions of Cuba and the West India islands, and their relations, to the United' States, was laid before the Senate. Its adoption was opposed by Mr. Sherman as unwise in every aspect, and as an unfriendly act towards the Government of Spain, and be sug gested a comparison between the pro posed inquiry and like proposition on the part ot the British (government to inquire into the condition of Utah. It went over again without action. Resolutions were reported from the Committee on Contingent Expenses, an thorizing the Committee on the Quadro Centennial ;to visit the grounds of the Worlds Exposition during the recess and employ a clerk; for appointment of a select committee of three to visit In dian Territory to investigate complaints of the Chocokees against intruders, and authorizing the Committee on Printing to sit during the recess and take testi mony in regard to the selection of a site for a new building for the Government Printing Office. The first two were ob jected to and went over without action. The last was agreed to. The President's message vetoing the. Senate bill amending the act of March 3. 1887, conferring on the Court ol Claims jurisdiction in contesting land patent cases, was laid belore the Senate. The President intimates that the sweep ing effects of the measure had not been discussed by Congress, and says that it would interfere with rapid settlement of such claims now going on in the Land office, and be an expense and burden to claimants. . The 'bill was so radical and so indefinite in its provisions that the President could not give bis approval, The bill! and veto message were re. ferred to the Judiciary Committee. - The Vice-President, aunounced the aDDOintmeht of Messrs. Gallineer.' Pef fer, Hansbrough, Tilton, banders, White and Hill as the select committee on the Pinkerton detective force, and of Messrs. Hawley. Manderson, Quay, Palmer and Vilas on the select committee on the re- ceotion to the Grand Army. , - After a short executive session the Senate at 1:40 adjourned. HOUSE OF .REPRESENTATIVES. Filibustering over the World's Fair Appropriation was 3 resumed in ' the House, and no quorum voting, on a mo tion to taite a r recess the House ad journed ano a Democratic caucus was announced, for 2 q clock. t WASHINGTON NEWS. A Compromise :- Agreement as to the -, "World's Pair Appropriation. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.- - Washington, August 3. An agree ment has been reached as to the World's Fair by the. peace committee, on this basis: The House shall vote down the Bingham motion and shall reconsider its action on the Sundry Civil bill. The senate . S5.UUO.00u world s Fair amend ment shall be disagreed to and the bill sent back to the conference, with the House insisting that this item shall be eliminated from the Sundry Civil bill. The Durborow World's. Fair bill shall be taken up, and on (August 6th, Saturday, snau oe voted oni ibe amount carried by the bill, however, i)elore the vote, shall be reduced lrom $3,000,000 to $2, 500,000, and mad a direct gift. All the memoers ot the icommittee except Mr. Dumorow voted lor the agreement. Mr. Durborow votes against it. Ibe committee simply submits the agreement to the caucus, and the mem bers are not bound to vote in favor of Mr. Durborow's! bill. Thev simDlv agree.'if the caucus adopts the proposi tion, not to filibuster against it, and each man reserves the right to vote for or against the Durborow bill. The under standing is . that the. vote on this bill snail oe nnai. and that the item is not to go(back into the Sundry Civil bill. It is presumed that the Senate will hold up the Sundry Civil (bill in conference until action is had on the Durborow bill. Meanwhile according to the - terms of agreement, appropriations are to be ex- lenueu. Mr., Reilly made a brief speech in which he explained the report and its purposes. He said that as all members knew, there was parliamentary deadlock which had continued for some time and threatened to keep members here inde finitely. The committee had carefully canvassed the situation and had en deavored to reach a basis on which there could be a general agreement of detailed the terms of Democrats. He the agreement reached, and said that in his opinion it was one which should meet the approval of Democrats gener ally. There were a number of questions asked, and the result was that Messrs. Kilgcte, Bailey and Anthony (successor of Mills) left the ball of the House, re fusing to remain and abide by the decree of the caucus.. Mr. Durborow left the hall and remained in the lobby and Mr. McGann, anotheij- Chicago member, also refused to remairj in attendance. Considerable time was taken up in in terrogatories of Mr. Reilly as to the nature and effect of various propositions in the report, but when the question was put on approval ot the report of the committee there ws a loud response in the affirmative from many members and no response whatever when the negative side was called for. Mr. Reilly was congratulated by a number of members on the success thus far attending the labors of the Peace Committee. I The caucus adjourned after having been in session 1 about fifty minutes all .... i torn. Mr. Kilgore, who has been one of the pronounced filibusters," said after the caucus that he would refuse to abide by its decision and that he would filibuster against the carrying out of the proposed programme. He said that he would have agreed to abide by the decision of caucus at which all oroDositions were taken into consideration, including pro positions to throw the matter over to December; but that he would not agree to go into a caucus the only binding part of which was that men should not filibuster. The caucus took no action with re spect to bringing a rule forcing the Dur oorow Dill on its passage and the ques tion must yet arise, it Mr. Kilgore and others continue filibustering, whether a cloture rule shall be brought in to put an end to it. It lis expected, in view ot the general sentiment of the House in favor of the termination of the dead lock, that such a rule will be reported, if necessary. Mr. McOann, who did not remain in the caucus, said later: "It is not at all satisfactory to me. 1 propose now to wait and see if they can deliver the goods. I have held all along that .they could not, and believe there will be hit bustering on the bill to appropriate $2,- 500,000, just as there was on the Senate five million dollars amendment to the Sundry Civil bill. It the amount is sat istactory to the worlds fair managers, it is satisfactory to me; but I don t be lieve it . is - satisfactory. I have been against compromising. We have the parliamentary advantage, and the appro priation -was passed by a majority of the House. This; resolution did not pro pose to carry out the expressed will of the House, but was giving in to a small set of filibusters. m COTTON futures: The New York Futures Market Yesterday. ; By Telegrapi to the Morning Star.
