A bill has been agreed on, and will if
possible be brought: before the House, to
refujwi.tolthft.'SUtes.whicli hftvepajd it
the direct tax levied in 1862, and to remit
the tax to those States which failed to pay.
Twenty-eight States have sent agents here
to advocate the measure" and several State
Legislatures ' have desired their Senators
and Representatives to support it. Almost
all the States will receive some money
if the bill should become a law, though
tUa Northern States, most of which paid
in full, will receive the largest sums. Thus
New York paid and would receive back
nearly $2,235,000;- Pennsylvania over
$1,250,000; New Jersey, $382,000; Mas
sachusetts, $700,000 ; Ohio over $1,225,000
and so on. The Southern States all paid
a part of the tax, some of them only a
small part, but curiously enough South
Carolina paid $14,390 more than the
amount assessed upon her. She is the only
State which over paid. North Carolina
was assessed for $766,195, paid $576,195,
and will get it back if the bill passes. Mr.
Dowd, of the Committee, opposed the
bill, doubtless thinking that our money
could be put to a better use.
In executive session of the Senate on
Wednesday last Gov. Vance, the only
member of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee who opposed the favorable report on
the Nicaragua treaty, made a carefully
prepared speech acainst ratification. His
chief argument was the existence of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which he contend
ed was in full force, and forbade the
United States to do any such act as the
Nicaragua treaty proposed. Mr. Vance
wound up his speech with a motion to
postpone further consideration of the
measure untilafter March 4. This provoked
a spirited discussion. Mr. Bayard made
an earnest speech in favor of postpone
ment, urging both friends and foes of the
treaty to let it go over and not seek to em
barrass Mr. Cleveland's Administration
Mr. Morgan, who is heart and soul for the
treaty, without regard to party, talked
long and anxiously in opposition to the
proposition, and was seconded by .Messrs.
Edmunds, Conger, Miller of California,
and two or three other Republicans. Mr,
Saulsbury and other Democrats insisted
that Mr. Vance's idea was correct and
that the treaty should not be acted upon
at this session. Motion to postpone failed,
and then the treaty after another long de
bate was rejected. Thirty-two Senators
voted for it and twenty-three against it.
Thirty-seven yeas were needed. A motion
to reconsider is pending, but the treaty is
thought to be dead and with it all the Ar
thur commercial treaties. Even the Mex
ican treaty adopted at the last session can
not get bearing in the House for the
passage of a tmt to give it eliect.

The Dynamite Chief Shot by a Woman.
New TobkL February 2. O'Donovan
Rossa was shot this evening, on Chambers
street, near his office, at 5 :12 o'clock. ' He
is still alive. He was in front of the Stewart
building, on Chambers street, when he
was approached by a handsome young
lady, dressed in plain clothes. She wore
spectacles and had the appearance of an
intellectual looking school-teacher, ' She
drew a five-barrelled revolver from her
dress-pocket, and levelling it at him fired
one shot. Rossa threw his hands abovo
his head and cried ."I'm shot!" He then
fell heavily to the sidewalk. The woman
fired the remaining bullets in her pistol at
the prostrate man and calmly and uncon
cernedly walked off with the smoKing re
volver in her hand. She was followed by
a large crowd, while a still larger mob
surrounded the wounded dynamiter. City
Marshal James McAuley, in the absence of
a policeman, saw the revolver in the wo
man's hand and arrested "her. She was
conducted to tho Twenty-sixth Precinct
station house in the City Hall. Her im
perturbable gravity and coolness of de
meanor were remarkable. When arraign
ed at the sergeant's desk, Mr. McAuley
handed the revolver, a small calibre five
shooter, to the sergeant, and said he found
the woman brandishing the weapon on the
street. Citizens who entered the police
station with the prisoner said she had
iust shot a man on Chambers street. "Do
you know the man?" asked Sergeant Cass,
turning to the woman. "Yes, I shot
O'Donovan Rossa," said the prisoner, with
a slight English accent. She looked very
pretty as she stood at the bar, and betray
ed no excitement whatever. She gave her
name as leslet Dudley.
Rossa's wound is not regarded as dan
gerous.
Mrs. Dudley has been in this country
four months as hospital nurse. The shoot
ing was provoked by the dynamite doings
of Kossa.

The British troops in the African desert
have beaten the Arabs again and opened

The Wilmington Bevicw says that the
elm trees and fig trees and some of the
rose bushes are already in bud and the
grass in some localities is springing up
vigorously.
Pittsburg is underlaid with natural il
luminating gas, which is used for cheap
lieht and fuel. A series of explosions on
Saturday killed six and wounded 19 per
sons, and wrecked several houses.
Mr. Randall visited Mr. Cleveland on
Thursday last and Mr. Carlisle on Friday.
They went by invitation, presumably to
discuss the cabinet and the party policy
generally. Neither will accept a place in
the Cabinet, each preferring to remain in
the House.
The election of Mr. Jones in Arkansas
completes the senatorial elections in all
but three States, viz. : New Hampshire,
which elects in June next; Illinois, whose
Legislature is in an apparently hopeless
deadlock, and Oregon, which began bal
loting for Senator last week.
Mr. Hendricks visited Mr. Cleveland on
Saturday. He refuses to talk of what oc
curred, but says that "Mr. Cleveland is
one of the frankest, most honest and no
ble men that I ever met. I am convinced
that he is going to have a magnificent ad
ministration. His opinions are founded
on common sense and they are uttered with
force."
J. P. Ward, of Columbus county, the
Wilmington Bevuw says, lately eloped
with his brother-in-law's (Elisha Prince)
wife. In Savannah the sight of a car load
of coffins friffhtened them, and returning
home the wife was reconciled to her hus
band. Ward's infatuation increased, and
on the 29th ult. he ambushed and shot
Prince to death. He then killed himself
by poison.
Lafayette Melton was hanged in Clay
county. Arkansas, last week, for the mur-

was proved on the trial that Melton was a
captain in the Kuklux brotherhood. Hale
had been talking about the order and a
nlot was formed to whip him. A masked
party found Hale ia the woods at night
nrl whinned him to death. Melton was
convicted chiefly on the evidence of H. S
Lawrence, one of the party who turned

"Anomalous, Curious and Novel."
New York Herald Money Article.
Reports as to the industrial situation are
conflicting, mills closing down in some
places and starting up in others. In the
iron industry there is evidence of revival,
although the improvement is mainly con
fined to Pennsylvania. The owners of
mills there are tempted to resume by the
present low and prospective lower price of
coal, and by the reduced wages which
their workmen are williner to accept,
There is no increase of activity in the
movement of merchandise, and no imme
diate prospect of prosperity.
The money market is anomalous. The
banks of this city continue to accumulate
surplus funds. Yesterday's statement
shows them to hold the unprecedented
sum of $54,000,000 over and above the
twenty-five per cent, of deposits the law
requires them to keep on hand. No more
startling evidence could be given of the
popular distrust in the "Gouldish" man
agement of our railways than the spec
tacle of these vast sums lying idle while
stocks at depreciated prices are left to the
exclusive manipulation of Wall street
traders.
Another curious and novel feature of
the monetary situation is the continued
advance in the rate for sterling bills in the
face of a very heavy trade balance in our
favor. The report of the Bureau of Sta
tistics just issued shows that the exports
for December amounted to over $ 91,000,
000, nearly one-half of this being repre
sented by cotton alone. Against this ex
traordinary export movement we brought
over onlv $42,000,000 of commodities
from Europe at least a third less than
the amount we import in good times
This leaves a balance of nearly $30,000,-
000 in our favor for that month alone, to
say nothing of the two preceding months.
And yet with all this money due to us not
only does the gold fail to come over, but
bills on London, as noted, go higher and
higher.

Col. Sloan lectures to-morrow night in
the House of Representatives on the "Bat- i
tie of Gettysburg," jn which he participa
ted. One of his objects is to draw atten-;
tion to his military history of North Car
olina, which he has ready for the press,
and to enlist the interest of the legislature
to the extent of an appropriation towards
the expense of publication. , This history
relates to every skirmish, every battle,
every incident in ivhich North Carolina
troops were involved in the army of north
ern Virginia. It gives the history of every
regiment and every company in that ser
vice. It has an interest for large numbers
in every county inj the State. It would
seem proper, therefore, that the State
should aid to do honor to her brave and
her martyred children.

The Kansas " Oklahoma Boomers" have
surrendered to the U. S. troops and gone
home. They express great animosity to
ward the administration, saying they are
determined to make a lodgment on the
disputed ground, and intimate they will
try the temper of the incoming adminis
tration, with some hope as to tne outcome.
Throughout Southern Kansas there seems
to be an idea prevalent among the sympa
thizers of the boomers that Captain Couch
submitted as a plan to gain time until
spring opens.
The Hocking Valley miners are burning
the mines from which they were lately
displaced to make room for cheaper labor.
The Plummer Hill mine was fired on Fri-
dav. It had iust been put in readiness for
the operations of the "blacklegs." The
mine is in the heart of a splendid coal
bank, and there are no hopes entertained
of extinguishing it. The entire mine- will
be destroyed. There is only one more
mine there now owned by the syndicate
, that is not burning. The hoppers of that
have been burned, and it is more than
probable that the mine itself will go.

The total receipts of cotton since Sep
tember 1 are 4,097,698 bales, of which
New Orleans has had nearly one-third.
Raleigh handled 363 bales of cotton last
week ; 62 more than last year. But dur
ing the season, the receipts have been only
28,770 bales, 347 less than in 1883-4.
Dun & Co. report 317 failures last week.
There is a decrease in every section of the
country, though the failures in the West
and South are still very numerous.
The total visible supply of cotton for
the world is 058,848 bales, of which
2,596,048 bales are American, against 3,
381,410 and 2,778,010 bales respectively
last year; crop in sight 4,863,697 bales.
