Special to t he News and Observer. Washington, D. 0., Jan 27. The President's message followed by Mr. Springer’s bill was not favorably re ceived yesterday by the Southern delega tion in Congress. It was said that only extreme silver men were not pleased, but when talking to the more liberal men 1 found that the whole South, with probably one or two exceptions, was op posed to the measure. It is taken by Southern meu, such as Black, of Georgia, and Money, of Miss issippi, to boa hard blow to the South. “If the bill passes, which 1 fear it will in the House,” said Mr. Alexander, it, will cause great trouble in the South through the agricultural sections. New York will of course applaud the meas ure, but almost the entire South will vote against it. The hill, if it passes the House, will have almost the entire Republican vote.” Mr. Weing done for i silver by preparing a measure which j would prevent silver from ever becoming a part of the money system. j New Yoik Approves ol It. Mr. Traeey, (Democrat) of New York: ! “1 think the President’s message and the bill presented a sensible eolation for the problem If the Republicans will lay aside }>artisanship and support it from patriotic motives, it vviii pass . Mr Bailey. (Democrat) of Texas: “It is the cleanest cut proposition to place the ‘ country on a gold basis ever made, and j 1 am utterly and absolutely opposed to it.” “The adoption of the President’s i plan,” said Mr, Stewart, (Populist) of' Nevada, “means twenty cent wheat aud two-erut cotton.” Senator Wolcott, (Republican) of Colo ratio, remarked: “The President speaks of the tyrauuy of preconceived opinions, teeming to overlook the fact that he makes himself a proper subject of his own criticism.” Nr. Bland Doesn’t Like I* Mr. Bland, (Democrat) of Missouri, the silver leader: “A gold bond means i a gold standard, aud this is the first Pro idential proposition ever made that brings Ouigress to the direct issue be- ! tween the gold standard aud bi metal- j ism Silver is wholly ignored as a re- * demption fund for government obliga | ti<»ns. The Chicago platform said silver should be treated as a standard money j equally wi«h gold The message and the bill utterly repudiate that principle.” Mr Bryan, (Democrat,) of Nebraska: “That mes-age and that hill make the m vst abject surrender to the gold con spiracy ever proposed. 1 cannot eou- j oeive k»»w any friend of stiver who be lieves m biwetallwm now or hereafter j can advoeale it for a moment. It is the the Wall street idea iu parliamentary lauguage. ” Senator Toother*’ Rca««uring Words. Amid all the pessimistic talk which was indulged in yesterday, it is pleasant ! to turn to the reassuring words of Sena tor Voorheos. the chairman of the Fi- | nance Commit ee. Mr. Voorheos has during his arduons service as chairman of this most important committee, given much thought and consider- | atioa to the financial situation. He; dots not partake of the general j panicky fe*li .g which seems to have round voice iu the President’s message, j When ask* d by a representative of The Poet veaierday whether the present laws, ; income, and internal roveuue, would not produce a surplus rather than a deficiency of revenue for the fiscal year ' ending Juue 80, 1896, he promptly re 1 plied: “I am not alarmed on the subject of j the finances at this time, for the reason i that 1 know, a* well a* any future event can lie demonstrated by the experience I of the past, and by the most careful cal j culation, that as soon as our present rev enue laws get into full operation aud working order, the revenues of the government will be amply sufficient, ;*nd in fact more than sufficient to meet all government expenses. “I predict that this will occur within the next sixty days, and that the sale of , bonds, avowedly for the redemption of the currency, but in reality to raise tnonev to pay current expenses, will • then cease. Iu the meantime it is grati fying to know that there is a surplus of more than sixty millions of dollars in the Treasury, every dollar of it at par with gold, which can be used to meet : every honest and patriotic obligation of the go ver ament, thus tiding over the present temporary embarassment until j the Treasury is made easy and comforta | ble, as it will lie, under existing legisla ' tion.” % V * Although the snow was falling thick society people here made their rounds yesterday. Mrs. Col. Morehead’s was | one of t ile most popular places, and the bright face of the little hostess welcomed many visitors, Bhe was assisted in re ceiving by Miss Black, daughter of the Congressman from Georgia, and Miss Phiuizy, who is for the season Miss Black’s guest at the Elsmere. ** • * There is to be a Charity Ball given at i the National Rifles armony on February | twenty first by the “Ladies Southern I Relief Society.” The patrons and pat ; ronesses are of the first Southern pe pie i at the National Capital.

JANUARY 30. 1895. NO DISCRIMINATION THE SUGAR DIFFERENTI AL TA \ OF ONE-TENTH REPEALED BY THE HOUSE. ONLY SIX DEMOCRATS OPPOSE. The Hill was Passed by the Decisive Vole of' *39 to 31 All Amendments Except One Were Voted Down—The Financial Question Again llroucht to the Front iu the Senate—Senator Jlamiorson Introduces an Important Compromise Resolution. Washington, D. C., Jan. 29.—8 y the decisive vote of 239 to 31, the House this afternoon, at the close of an interesting session, passed the bill repealing the differential duty of 1-10 cent a pound imposed in the tariff bill on sugar im ported from countries paying an export bounty on that article. The represen tatives voting against the passage of the bill were : Republicans—Adams of Pennsylvania, Belden of New York, Bingham of Penn sylvania, Boutelle of Maine, Bowers of California, Curtis. Daniels of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Gillette, Hooker and Lefever of New York, Loud of Cali fornia, Loudenstager of Now Jersey, Marvin, Payne, Quigg and Ray of New York, Reed of Maine, Robinson of Penn sylvania, Storer of Ohio; Sherman, Van Voorhis, Wadsworth and Weaver of New York, Wanger of Pennsylvania. Democrats—Covert of New York, Davey, Meyer, Egden, Price and Robert son of Louisiana. While the bill was in committee of the whole all amendments were voted down except one, and that was pending when the committee rose. It was offered by Mr. Dingley, (Rep.) of Maine, and pro vided that the repeal of the differential duty was not to be held to imply that the United States surrendered its rights under treaties to offset bounties bf . the imposition of equivalent duties whenever Congress deems it desirable to enforce them. A yea and nay vote upon this amendment was had in the House, resulting: Yeas, 112; nays, 159. On this amendment the Republi cans and Populists, with the exception of Baker, of Kansas, voted aye, and the Democrats generally nay. The following Democrats voted with the Republicans: Barnes, Covert, Geary, Harris, Lester, Martin of Indiana, Mayer, Price and Ryan. An amendment offered by Mr. Hitt to repeal the 1-8 cent additional duty on refined sugar was rejected by a vote of 35 to 109, and an amendment by Mr. Van Voorhis. of New York, to place all sugar aud molasses on the free list was rejected, 75 to 120. This action was taken at the request of Mr. Wilson, Chairman of the Committee on Ways aud Means, in charge of the bill, who stated that the chances of its becoming a law depended entirely upon its going through the House an independent meas ure in the shape in which it was reported. THE DAY IN THE SENATE. Ai Important Compromise Financial Resolution Introduced. WashiSutoN, D. 0 , Jan. 26. —The financial question was brought to the from. early in the day’s session of the Senate by a resolution by Mr. Mander son, and which, after discussion, was referred to the Finance Committee. It embraced seven propositions which, Mr. Manderson admitted, looked like a hodge-podge, but which really were, he said, a compromise that might, be and ought to be embodied into law. Those were: A reserve of $200,000,- 000 in gold and $200,000,000 in silver; the issue of bonds payable in gold or silver; the destruction of legal tender notes when paid in gold or silver; the exchange, for five years, when demanded, of gold coin for silver coin, and of silver coin for gold eoin, the use of new bonds for national bank currency (of not less denomination than $10) the re quirement of the payment of the duties in gold bn goods imported from coun tries having a gold standard, and in gold or silver on goods imported from coun tries having a silver standard; and finally, the free coinage of gold and sil ver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and the en larged coinage of subsidiary silver coin. Interesting remarks on this proposi tiou, aud on the financial question gen erally, were made by Senators Mander sou and Teller. Mr. Hill presented resolutions of the Chamber or Commerce of the city of New York on the subject of national fi nances, and said he did so on account of the high standing of that body; one of the oldest organizations of that kind in this country, having been founded in 1858, and ou account of other consider ations. t The resolutions, which declare hearty concurrence with the recommendations of the President of the United States, were read and referred to the finance committee. At 5:25 the Senate adjourned. Blew Out Her Brains. Silks, 0., Jan. 29.—Mrs Louis Behan, a prominent church lady of this city, stood Ik fore a mirror this morning and blew her brains out with a pistol. She had beeu ill for some mouths, but when her husband left her this morning she appeared in good spirits. He had not reached the gate when the report of the pistol was heard. Rushing into the house be found his wife dead aud her little baby crying in her arms SPRINGER’S BANKING BILL. It Now Look* a* it' it Will Pa** Both llon*es of Congress. Washington, I>. C , Jan. 29.—“1t now looks,” said Mr. Walker, of Massachu setts, “as though the administration banking bill, introduced by Mr Springer yesterday, may be amended so as to make it acceptable to the business in terests.” “Appearances indicate that the bill will be reported from the committee in such a shape,” said Mr. Russell, of Connecti cut, “that it will receive the support of nearly all the Republicans in the House ” Both gentlemen are members of the House Committee on Banking and Cur rency. to which the bill was referred, and the declarations were made by them when the committee adjourned at 4 p. m . after being in session since 10 o’clock this morning. Several amendments were offered and debated at some length without any final conclusion. One was offered by Mr. Russell, of Connecticut, aud pro vides that all of the treasury notes can celled in anv one month shall lie offset by a corresponding issue of na tional bank notes. This amend ment was carried and then re considered. Another amendment offered by Mr. Walker provides that the reserve to be held by the banks shall con sist one-half in gold coin or gold certifi cates, and the other half in silver coin aud silver certificates. The discussion upon this proposition was purely an eeo uomic ane, and it turned upon the point whether the forcing of the banks to pre cure gold would not create a greater de mand upon the Treasury than now ex ists. Mr. Walker met these objections with the argument that it would put the banks in a more solvent condition by requiring them to keep specie on hand. These latter amendments will be con sidered to-morrow and the indication this evening is that the bill as amended will be ready to report to the House to morrow afternoon. The decisions did not follow’ party lines, and it is said that none if the several votes taken were what are known as strict party votes. Representative Tracey, of New York, who is a conspicuous champion of the administration, and who was active at the extra session of 1893, iu helping to secure the repeal of the Sherman silver law, says he believes the bill will pass both houses of Congress. All of the members of the committee were present at to-day’s session except Johnson, of Ohio; Johnson, of Indiana; pf Kentucky, aud Culberson, of Tex a?. JUDGE LONG’S PENSION. Judge Bradley Decides That the Pen sion Oilicc Hud no Right to Reduce it. Washington, Jan. 29 Judge Brad ley, of the District Supreme Court, to day rendered a decision that the pension office had no right to reduce the pension of Judge Long, of the Michigan Supreme i Court, aud issued a mandamus on the commissioner of pensions directing him to restore Judge Loug’s pension to the original figure. The opinion is similar to that delivered by Judge Bradley in the same case in j January, 1894. A nmudamus was then j issued ’against the reduction of Judge ! Long’s pension to SSO a month, but on : account of an error in the proceedings ; in the act of December 9, 1893, pre scribing certain forms of notice in cases of reduction, the pension had been re stored and there remained uo issue ex cept that of costs. A little later a suit was brought in equity against the commissioner asking an injunction prohibiting the reduction of the pension, in which the same Law’ was involved. This case was also deci ded (by Judge Cox) iu favor of Judge Long because the notice of reduction given was not thirty days, as required by law. In the matter of law, however, Judge Cox decided contrary to Judge Bradley’s decision of last January. On account of the technicality in the notice giveu, the case was not clear euough to take to the Court of Appeal*, and another petition for a writ of mandamus was filed. This is the case in which Judge Bradley ren dered his opinion to-day. Judge Bradley says he feels s-rength ened in the views to which Judge Cox could not agree and makes several sug gestions additional to those in his origi- ; nal opinion. These are that the issu anee of a certificate giving Judge Long a pension of $72 a month was justified by law and by the pensioners disability; that Commissioner Lochreu had no power to review and reverse the action of his predecessor upon the same state 1 of facts for alleged error in judgment, and no power to change Judge Long’s | status on the pension rolls, and that Commissioner Lochren, having no dis- j cretion in the matter, the court has a right to command the commissioner to j revoke his order reducing the pension. Secretary Hoke Smith was made a party to the action with Commissioner Lochren, but Judge Bradley dismissed the petition as to him, holding that no function was performed by him in the revocation of the pt nsion certificate, aud that no act is essential to be performed by him to restore J udge Long to his right. The case will probably be taken to the Court of Appeals. Everything Except the Corpse. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29.—The directors of the Committee on States Exposition will invite the Washington correspond ents to visit Atlanta. They will be pro vided with a spteial traiu, and all the accessories of a Congressional funeral, the corpse excepted. PLAY A DOUBLE GAME 1 | TIIE BROOKLYN STRIKERS \p. DEAL TO THE L\H WHILE riIEY DEFY IT. ACTION TO ANNUL THE CHARTER. The Strikers V*k That the Charter of the Road be Revoked Beoait*e of it* Failure to Ran it* Far*--The Os Keen* of the Company to be Arrested for Violating the Ten-llour Law— Ninny Wires Cut and Petty Disturbance*— Troop* Again Called Out. Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 29.—The strikers are playing a double game. i Through counsel they have appealed to the Attorney General to move against the Brooklyn Heights Company to revoke the charter for faling to operate the road. Through the agency of lawless mobs they have continued cutting wires, assaulting non-union employes, blockad ing tracks aud otherwise preventing the cars from operating. i On the one hand they invoke the law of the land; on the other they defy it even though there are 3,000 troops here to aid the police in preserving order, j Were the proceedings in the court brought by the citizens acting in good faith for the benefit of the community, the office!s of the company would un doubtedly he uneasy as to the result. | They now treat the matter lightly aud will make answer that the very men who j ask the aid of the laws are law-breakers themselves who have made necessary the calling out of the national guard. Manv Small Disturbances. The withdrawal of the first brigade ! was followed by many small distur- j bances. President Lewis declared with j much emphasis that it was a serious ! mistake to withdraw the brigade. He said that he had received anonymous in formation that if the remaining troops are disbanded sheol will break loose. He had a body guard of detectives about bis person and President Norton never moves without an armed man at his side. On the other hand, the mayor, Gene ral McLeer, and other officials believe that quiet is restored aud turbulence at an end. Master Workman Connelly still insists that the strikers are not beaten. There are no signs of a break in their ranks. Duly a few of them have made personal applications. Jlatidainu* Proceedings Begun. The formal tender of their services by j Mr. Connelly was a move upon which to j j base an application for a new writ of j mandamus. This was made against the j Atlantic Avenue Company to day and was the first proceeding in court against | that company. Similar steps are to fol- i low rgainst the Brooklyn Height Com pany aud Queeus county aud suburban. Officers to fie Arrested. ; The Brooklyn Heights Company was ! served with formal notice iu the man ! damns proceedings against them. They have twenty days to answer. They have also to appear before the Attorney Gen eral at A bany tomorrow’ iu the appli cation for action looking to the forfeit { ure of their charter. Iu addition to this, warrants are to be applied for to-morrrow before Justice j Tighe for the arrest of officers of the line for violating the ten hour law. One motorman has made affidavit that he was forced to work 11 hours and six , mi utes for the company. Violation of the ten-hour law is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of SSOO > for each offense, aud imprisonment for j three months. There are 1,500 em ployes who threaten to bring action. Still further proceedings w hich are on j the programme are suits by each ex- ; employe for one week’s salary, and suits j for damages by merchants whose busi | ness has been prostrated. While the strikers are pulling these strings to give trouble to the companies and force them to surrender, there are other complications. Troops Again Culled Out. Only once to day were the troops called ! out. At about 3p.m. a gang of men j placed a wages on the track of the Fifth | Avenue line at Twenty First street and j mobbed the crew of the first car which arrived. The policeman on the front platform was powerless. He whistled j for help, however, and another officer j notified the 23rd Regiment boys at the station. The Board of Aldermen are seeking | for some means of demolishing the com- j panics; the labor organizations have do | cided not to ride in their cars; the grand j j jury is looking into the loss of life ami ; j limb due to violations of the laws regu- ; latiug speed of cars; the board of arbi- j tratiou has gone to Albany to report on j the causes of the strike, aud a new com- 1 mittee from the Legislature is on its way j to investigate the whole matter. All iu | | all, the lot of the trolley magnate is not | a happy one. The companies made a good showidg j iu the number of cars run and Hues op ; erated to day. They have shown that; all they need is time to engage and break • in new meu, and protection for the men j and property of the roads. Snow and , cut wires in the early morning gave j them some trouble, but by noon about j two-thirds of the number of cars oper- j ated previous to the strike were in oper- j atiou. Cars ran closer to schedule and later i at night than has beeu attempted in two j weeks. Action to Annul the Charter. Brooklyn, N. Y., January 29 - i The long-threatened action before the j Attorney General to annul the charter ; I of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad took j shape to-day. Congressman William | Sulzer, James A. Dennison and Delos NUMBER 6. McCurdy, counsel for the strikers, made formal application to Attorney General Hancock yesterday asking him to begin proceedings to dissolve the Brooklyn Height Company and to appoint a to cover to wind up its affairs Ihe Attorney General served notice on President Lewis by w ire last night and to-day William Sulzer arrived from Albany with the formal papers. The notice is as follows: Application was made to me this morning by William Sulzer, Janies Den nison ond Del xs McCurdy, representing | certain citizens of this Mate, to com menee an action against your road. I have adjourned the hearing until Wed nesday morning at 10 o’clock. Papers are to be served on you Tuesday morn ing. (Signed) T. L. Hancock, Attorney General.

SOUTHERN GENEROSITY. The Train Load ol Supplies Sent to Ne braska Sufferers Appreciated. Baltimore, Md., Jan. 29.- Mr. R. H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers’ Record, is in receipt from a letter from Rev. Luther P. Luddeu, general manager of the central relief committee, of Lin coin, Neb., in which he says: “I beg to acknowledge the receipt of twenty-one cars forwarded nuder the direction of ex-Governor North en. They reached here in good condition, and before I dictated this letter some of them have already gone forth into the destitute parts of our State. Others will go forward immedi ately. We are very glad indeed for the incident you refer to concerning Ne braska’s kindness towards Charleston at tho time of the earthquake and believe with you, that these things ought to strengthen the ties that bind ns together in one great sisterhood of States. 1 believe this donation will rc suit in an exceedingly friendly spirit being made manifest among many of our people for the South. I know we appreciate the spirit in which you give it; the spirit in which you have labored to make it so marked a saccesa. Your starting the ball rolling in the South awakeutd an interest in other places, and the full measure of the direct result of your efforts will not be known. It is not measured, indeed, by the carloads sent from the South alone, because our mails bring us indications every day that others,-seeing what y*.u were doing, have gone forthwith to imitate your no ble example, and car-loads have lieen offered as a result. Our free transpor tation upon miscellaneous supplies has beeu jcut off and we will probably need other car-loads of food supplies. Anoth er great need is grain. I believe should we ask for transportation on especially valuable shipments it would lie grunted. “On the behalf of the drouth suffer ers, to whom your supplies w ill bring much gladness and good cheer, wo ae cept them with hope and letting them know that love for fellow man is not yet dead. We desire to thank you and thank those who have been interested in making your donation such a grand success. “Believing that those who have given ‘will be reward* <1 in basket in store’ for all this kindness to us in this hour of distress, I am, etc.” •Tie Debs Trial Yesterday.
