Senator Jones agreed to the motion, and the proviso was stricken out. A new paragraph (198 J) was also inserted on motion of Senator Allison: "Eggs, i cents a dozen."

The para : graph embracing beef, mutton, pork, j bacon and hams was stricken from the free list and they became dutiable at 20 ' per cent, upon Senator Pelfer's motion. ; Paragraph 410 (books, engravings, t V. ) was found to be unsatisfactory to ; both sides of the Senate, and was, bv ' mutual consent, modified so as to admit ' free of duty "books, engravings photo ; graphs (bound or unbound,) etchings, ! maps and charts which shall have been I printed more than twenty years at the ; date of importation, all hydographic charts and scientific books and periodi cals devoted to original scientific re ; search, publications issued for their sub ; scribers, by scientific and literary asso : ciations or academies or publications of j individuals for gratuitous private circula ! tion, and public documents published by ! foreign Governments." The coal paragraph (441) was amended by striking out bituminous and shale" and by making the paragraph "Anthra cite coal, and coal stores of American vessels; but none shall be unloaded." Paragraph 518, placing iron ore on the tree list was, on motion of Senator Jones, struck out yeas, 43; nays, 4 leaving iron ore on the dutiable list. The nega tive votes were given by the three Popu late Senators Allen, Kyle and Peffer, and by Senator Hill. Senator Lodge moved to strike quick silver from the free list, and after debate , the motion was agreed to yeas, 38; nays, 20. This was the first instance in : which the Finance committee met a de j feat. Two Democrats, Senators Hill and Morgan, and four Populisms, Senators : Allen, Kyle, Peffer and Stewart, voted j for the motion to strike out. The result caused some excitement on the floor and ; in the galleries, and there was even a j slight effort at applause, j On a motion of Senator Perkins ! quicksilver was placed on the dutiable ' list at 7 cents a pound. A few more paragraphs on the frre list were disposed otf, and when salt was reached (008) the bill was laid aside and i the Senate, after a short executive ses sion, at t :2o o'clock adjourned until to . morrow.

As between the arctic-contracting policies of Messrs Sherman and Harter, and the tropical richness of Gen. Coxey's schemes, I pre fer the commonsense average temperate zone of finance. The difference between Mr. Harter and Mr. Coxey seems to be, that Gen. Coxey came to Washington from Ohio and was elected to serve twenty days in jail, while 3Ir. Harter was elected to come to Washington and serve two years in Congress. Which one serves hLs country best, God knows, I don't. Laugh tej. Mr. Sibley pictured t ie country under the demonetization c ; silver as a dismal swamp, and the brush was wielded with artistic effect. He was interrupted by his colleague, Mr. Robinson, Republican, of Pennsylvania, to ask if the dismal swamp he had been describing was the one in which President Cleveland had recently been fishing. Mr. Fletcher, Republican, of Minne sota, had read at the desk communica tions from dealers in and handlers of wheat in the Northwest, protesting against the passage of the bill. These writers gave statistics to show that farmers and producers were largely ben efitted by the practice of dealing in futures. The committee rose at 4:55 o'clock and the House then adjourned.

The Sim's cotton review says: Cotton advanced 4 points, lost this and declined 1 point, recovered this and advanced 1 to 2 points, closing quiet. Liverpool advanced 2 points, but lost about and closed steady, with spot sales of 10.000 bales at steady and un changed prices. In Manchester cloths were dull. New Orleans advanced 2 points. Port receipts were 1,844 bales, against 3,577 this day last week and 4, 131 last year; thus far this week, 5,084 bales, against 6,053 thus far last week. Spot cotton was quiet and unchanged at steady prices. Sales . were GOO bales for export and 363 for spinning. The Southern spot markets were gen erally quiet, steady and without variation from previous prices. To-day's features were: It was an irregular market within a small compass. There were rains in the region east of the Mississippi river. and Liverpool showed unexpected strength. There was no great pressure to sell, and some local covering left prices a shade higher than they were with the close last night. The crop news from the section west of the Mississippi was generally favorable. Lists of Sugar Stock Speculators Stolen. Washington, June 19. Three wit nesses were exarnlned by the Sugar Trust investigators to-day but the testi mony of none of them was important. Geo. W. Silsby a Washington broker, told the committee what he knew of the stock list on which appeared the name of Ransom ' (which was ascertained to be the son of Senator Ransom and not the Senator himself) as a buyer and seller. He said that he was notified bv the manager of one of his branch officers that two or three lists that contained the original entries of purchases and sales of stock had been stolen from the office and the witness had placed the matter in the hands of a detective agent and he thought he had the thief. Mr. Silsby confirmed Senator Ransom 8 statement that it was Geo. Ransam, the Senator's son, who had speculated in stocks through his office. ul7een reduced Messenger Bureau, 1 Raleigh, June 19. j : The weekly weather crop report issued yesterda' is partially favorable. The weather is very dry in the Central and Western districts, and, while there has been more rain in the Eastern district, yet it is not enough. The weather has been more favorable for cotton; corn is doing well, better than cotton, Gardens are suffering greatly from drought. It is too dry to plant yeas in stubble land, the wheat harvest 13 nearly over and thrashing has begun. The yield is small; in fact, there is only half a crop. Hay making is in active progress. The crop will be a large one and well cured. Clean farms are the rule and not the ex ception this year. There is little or no Cjpmplaint of grass. m The Superintendent of Public Instruc tion is now working on the schedule of this summer's teachers' institutes. The State no longer makes any appropration for these institutes and hence there is no allowance for them from the Peabody fiind. The institutes will be quite as numerous as they were last year. The Railway Commission will to-morrow begin the annual assessment of rail way, steamboat and telegraph property. There will hardly be any increase in the Valuation. During the pa3t twelve months there has been very little railway building. 1; Mr. A. Leazar, superintendent of the penitentiary, says all the crops of the State farms are doing well. He says he has seen the statement made in the course of the investigation into the al leged ill treatment of Mecklenburg coun ty's convicts that the system of discipline was the same as that in the penitentiary. He says this is not the fact. Witnesses testified in Mecklinburg that the con victs were given fifty or seventy-five lashes. This is not the case in the peni tentiary. ! Rev. Dr. W. S. Creasy, of Charlotte, preached the baccalaureate sermon at the Agricultural and Mechanical college last evening. His subject was the Removal ,of Mountains of Difficulties." jiYour correspondent had an interview with Rev. Dr. Pittenger, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd here. This church is to become the "Cathedral church of this Episcopal diocese. Th diocese has bought the residerAceof ' the late Bishop Lymanfor useas the per manent "see house," and there Bishop Cheshrie will reside. The use of the prop erty of the church of the Good Shepherd was offered as the site for a cathedral. The congregation has decided to pay off the debt of $3,200 by next Easter, and last week pledged the required amount. It is the plan to build a grand church. In this work the entire diocese will join. It will be the Lyman memorial church and it is said the wealthy relatives and friends of Bishop Lyman will make large contributions to it.

They did not break as quickly nor with such nervous excitement as thy -displayed when advancing, but melted away gradually under the pressure of long wheat that did not all come out at once. lesterdaj's enthusiastic buyers were cautious sellers to-day and the ea board let go of immense quantities throughout the session. New York led yesterday in strength; to-day it was the weakest market. There was some cltang ing from July into September, with a re- fOUtant widening of the dulerence be tween the two options. July opened at from b0$ to OOic, sold down to OSJc, re covered and sold back to 9$c. where it closed, with a loss of lfcfrom yesterday. Cash wheat was about lc lower, its re lation with the futures causing the de cline. There was a good demand. Corn was weaker to-day, the influence coming from wheat.

Whereupon, the Board of Trade of Gadarene came out and peti tioned him to leave their coasts. "And he did, said Mr. Sibley, "never more to return. And that's what the Chicago Board of Trade would ask if he were to visit them, fearing a falling pork market with no line of shorts out."

Notwithstanding the slayers were noti fied of the forfeiture this morning, they played this afternoon's game to show their appreciation and high regard for Manager Hill, who has sacrificed per sonal interests for them. The citizens will pay the players' far home. scheme hai oen perfect! to krrp up the diecudon until after June IJOth. A member of the cornrnitU who hxs been active in the mang-fn-rt of th lt.1 declared this morning that h did not expect the bill to Ucooj- a lw and go. into effect before August lt. -"id aakl that Con grem would hardly -n Uy- fore the middle of tint n.cntn. It ha been practically decid d that tin-re U to be a further revolution wf the ingar schedule. The sugar ftchedul, a it will finally be adopted, will place a duty of 40 per cent, ad valorem on raw sugars and tc additional on re fined and end there. The discriminat ing duty of 1-lOc againt all countries paying an export bounty on reflnrd sugars will be eliminaU-d from th bill, as it U claimed that th 40 p-r cent, gives ample protection to the rr finer to say nothing of the differential that b al lowed them. The sugar achedule w ill also ba further amended o aa to make it go into effect h-n th other parts of the bill go into effect immediately ujon iu jxunag. The committee has decided to amend th income tax feature of the bill In accord ance with the mjuet of the thouani of petitions tliat liave corne to the Senate, and will omit from the operation) of tho income tax the funds of all fraternal and beneficial organizations and aocietiea conducted on the lodge plan. Br an inadvertence the paragraph of the Tariff bill relating to w ool tops and ro rings was permitted to go through tho other day at 15 per cent, when it was intended to make this duty 25 per cenUThis mistake will be rectified. Another change will also be made in the wool schedule. As agreed to, the rate on the finished j product in men's clothing is fixed at 45 per cent, while the duty on cloth enter ing into the manufacture of the aaxxu grade of goods is fixed at 50 per cent. This is a discrimination against the man ufacture in this country that will be remedied by increasing the duty on the nni&hed product to 00 per cent. The committee also formally decided to per mit the administrative act of June 10. 1800, to stand and this will cut from tho bill forty-nine pages and remove a mat ter that would have caused much con tention in the course of the debate.
