Second Day's Exercises at the Baptist Sunday School Chatanqna Indi cations of a Small Gottbn Crop Fairview Sale of Blooded Stock The Mill Owners V Derelict; in Furnish- , inj Statistics. ; Messenger Bureau, ) Raleigh, Aug. 23. J ; Hie second annual race meeting on the State fair grounds here, under the auspices of the North Carolina Trotting Horse Breeders' association are to be begin this afternoon. It is well attended and the interest shown in it attests the enthusiam which has been aroused among, horse lovers and the general public also. The ar rangements for the races were made by Capt. B. P. Williamson, the well known owner of Fairview ; stock farm, at Ral eigh, and he has done wonders in carry ing out the plan of securing horses from all parts of the State. Since these races are specially intended to develop North Carolina horses no others can enter. The track at the fair grounds has recently received a great deal of attention and is in, far finer order than ever before. : The second day's exercises at the Bap tist State Sunday School Chatauqua at Mt. Vernon Springs were opened to-day by a devotional meeting conducted by Rev. W. B. Morton, of Louisburg. The day's lesson was, "Paul Shipwrecked." and Mr. A. Allen, of Reidsville, illustra ted primary teaching,; leading a discus sion of kindergarten i work. W. A. Al bright, of Durham, delivered an address on how to hold young people in the Sunday school. N. B. VBroughton, of Raleigh, presided while many questions were 'asked and answered. Sunday school music was discussed and there was a song service. J. F. Wilburn, of Fayetteville, illustrated the best methods of teaching boys. E. E. Hilliard, of Scotland Neck, spoke on "The Teachei s' Preparation." The permon of the day was preached bv Rev. W. B. Oliver, of Wilmington.- the attendance showed an increase over that of Tuesday. ' An excursion to Richmond and Wash ington left here early, this morning over the Seaboard Air Line, with 150 people on board. Two cars filled with people from Durham were attached at Henderson. Four convicts from Mecklenburg county and six from Moore arrived yesterday. Four of those from Moore are members of a robber gang. iThe authorities are in pursuit of its other members. Five convicts from Edgecombe arrived this morning. . ' i s - : . The cotton oil mills here will not start up until about October 1st, Superintend ent u pchurch says, r ' 1 Capt.'Williamson tells me he people who expect a big cotton crop in this State will be disappointed.: He asserts that the bolls are not properly developed, con sidering the lateness of the season, and there are not enough in the forward stage to relieve farmers . from apprehen sions of damage to the crop by a cool spell of weather. .On sandy lands the crop is worse affected this way. it is better on stiff land. 1: The next sale of .horses from Fairview farm will be held November 9th, in this city. It is important to all the State be cause ft is the only large annual sale in North Carolina. It is the fourth. At the first, thirteen horses were sold, at the second, twenty, at last years, forty-two, and,this time seventy-five, at least, will be sold. Applications for horses are coming: in from outside the State. Dur ing the past thirty days no less than three nne colts troro this iarmghaye been sold, two going to Texas and one to South Carolina, the three bringing $1,100. This shows what can be done in the way of raising good horses. Last night a fine rain set in here. It was yery enjoyable and, of course, the benefit to the crops ls ereat. ! Mr. B. R. Lacy, Commissioner of La bor Statistics, says he &'et3 yery few re plies to his inquiries made of mill owners, The questions asked :as to farmers and miscellaneous industries are replied to in a very satisfactory manner.

There was a mass meeting held here last night to take action on the financial question, It re suited "in a disgraceful scene enacted by some of the principal citizens and at one or two points a pitched battle seemed inevitable - When iCol.-PaulB. who is acknowledged to be a Hogg Democrat, attempted a speech favoring tree ana un limited coinas-e of silver and I deuOUDC- ing President Cleveland for leaving the nl.itform. the row! reached its height, The Clark Democrats attempted to down him. The Hogg Democrats and i'opvr lists sprang to their feet and. yelled like Comanches. The more timia preseui, made for the door and for a time it seemed as though' a bloody row would ensue. The balance of the evening was attended withjsimilar wrangling. Kumer ous resolutions were offered and at mid.- nicrht the meetina-i was still going. on, with little prospects of a close before day light.

Bonds In New York The j Grain and Provision Markets ! of Chicago. ' New York, Aug. 23. The stock mar ket was extremely dull throughout the day. The transactions dwindled down to the unusually small total of 119,000 shares, and very little disposition to trade was manifested in any direction. The room operators were bearish, and, with the aid of rumors that the General Elec tric company waa about to be placed in the hands of receivers, and the circula tion of stories affecting the solvency of a Wall street firm, managed to depress the general list i to 2$ per cent. Chicago Gas led tne downward movement, ine stock sold down from 501 to 484. The low est quotations of the day were touched ; shortly before the close, notwithstanding j t le i ace tnat tne unfavorable rumors re f jrred to failed to materialize. The de cline had little significance, owing to the paucity or business, 'ine decline in the premium on currency and gold and the further reduction in Sterling ex change exerted only a passing influence for the reason that Wall street ia looking only to the repeal of the Sherman silver law for relief. Pinal transactions were at a rcivery of 1 to I from the lowest and speculation left off steadier in tone. Chicago,' Aug. 23. The principal fea ture of wheat to-day was the narrowing of the spread between September and December from 7J down to 7c. ; ihe reasons given for tne narrowing of the premium between September and December are that there is more money being placed to carry , the wheat, ti e statement being made by some 8f the bankers that there will be no difficulty in carrying September deliveries to De cember and the buying, of shorts for September and putting it out again for December. Corn was steady until the estimated receipts for to-morrow were made. These, although not extraordinary large, were sufficiently over the recent average to have considerable effect upon a mar ket which stood in need of something to support it.'i In oats the demand was light, though after prices had declined i to i the bid ding i lcreased slightly, ihe close wr s weak at nearly the lowest point, with net loss of I to ic. 1 Under the influence of the receipts of 40,000 hogs at the yards, the provision trade dragged. .Late in the session Armour put brokers in the market to bid for pork and ribs and the decline was soon overcome bv the support thus af forded it. I Compared with last night, pork is up 25c and ribs 5c. Lard is 121c lower. ! NETJSE RIVER . LIGHT HOUSE. The Appointment of Shipp not Held up Liberal Construction of.

THE SENATE VOTES I AG3NST HIS RIGHT TO BE SEATED. A Motion to Reconsider Pending Bill for a Commission to Establish 1 I Gold and Silver Ratio The. ' Conduct of National Batiks The Silver DeoateCon tinned in the House -Yesterday. ; -" : ' . SENATE. Washinoton, Aug. 23. Senator Pas coe gave notice of his substitute to Sena tor Vest's minority bill for silver coinage at the ratio of 20: to 1. - j , ' j This substitute proposes a commission of three citizens of the United States to be appointed by the President to ascer tain and determine by January 1st next, a fair and just ratio between the actual intrinsic value of silver and gold as a basis for. the free coinage of silver. Af ter the result is reported to the Secretary of -the Treasury the weight of pure and standard silver to be contained in dollars, halves, quarters and dimes is to be fixed and determined by him, and silver is to be coined. . i ' : The resolution offered yesterday j by Senator Peffer, inquiring of the Secre tary of the Treasury as to the conduct of National banks in refusing to pay prompt ly in currency the checks of their depos itors, was taken up, and a motion to re fer it to the Committee oh Finance was made by Senator Hoar. . ; J This motion gave rise" to a long -and somewhat excited discussion: in which Senators Voorhees.Gorman and McPher son favored the reference, and Senator Kyle, Manderson and Hill opposed it. The discussion of Senator Hoar's mo tion was cut off by the expiration of the morning hour and the resolution ; went over without action. It took its place on the calendar, where it can only be reach ed again in the regular order or upon motion supported by a majority vote. : Senator Hoar I made V an j argument against Senator Butler's . amendment to the National Bank Circulation act the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State bank circulation. ! ! i : At the close of Senator Hoar's remarks the National Bank Circulation bill was laid aside without action and the report of the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions in favor of seating Lee Mantle as Senator from Montana . Was taken up. Arguments against the adoption of the report and the admission of Mr. Mantle were made by Senators Gallinger,- Re publican, of New Hampshire and Piatt, Republican, of Connecticut. Senators Turpie, Democrat, of Indiana and Chandler, Republican, of New Hampr shire, replied to some qf Senator Piatt's points; and Senator Pascoe, Demo3rat, of Florida, replied to Senator Chandler, The debate was closed by Senator Hoar, in favor of the majority report. Then, at 5:15, the vote was taken on the substitute offered ;by Senator Vance, de claring Mr. Mantle not entitled to the seat. The vote resulted yeas, 35; nays, 30. So the substitute was agreed to. Senator Manderson, who had changed his vote from nay to, yea in order to make a motion to reconsider, made ! that motion. j A motion to lay the motion to recon sider on the table was made by Senator Vance; but, without action on it, the Senate at 5:45 adjourned till to-morrow, leaving the Lee Mantle case still open. I HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, j ' The House met at 11 o'clock, but its proceedings were not opened with prayer the chaplain not having been advised of the change of the hour Qf nieetings. Mr. G. W. TStqne, ttepublican, of Penn sylvania, was the first speaker this morn ing upon the silver question. This ques tion, ho said, was too serious, to justify appeal to prejudice or to partisan J feel ing. He said what party platform, ; he might have said, what parties might have done in the past,-, mattered not. They had nothing to do ,witii the action of Congress now in the anomalous condi tion in which the country found itself. Had the present administration, instead of acting in a weak, vacillating manner, sternly and unflinchingly announced ; its intention to keep every dollar ' equal in value to every other dollar, the appre hension and feeling of danger through out the country would have been greatly alleviated. He would vo'te for the repeal, because it might in some degree relieve the distress i but he did not attribute to the Sherman law the existing condition of affairs. Together with' a number; of his colleagues he believed that the un derlying cause was the threatening j atti tude Qf the Demqcrajjia party : tqwards tie protected industries. Mr. Ryan, Democrat, of New York, announced his intention to vote against each and every substitute offered by the gentleman from Missouri (Bland) and to cast his' vote for the unconditional re peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher man acf. I ' : Mr. Covert.' Democrat, of New York. referred tq me Iurs cast upon New'Ybrk m some oi ine speecnef ana vigqrousiy resented, them. Silver was like a faith ful servitor who had served long and well. But, unfortunately, it was like a faitbfutaervitor who had grown unsteady in his habits. For this reason it had been shunned by some of its friends. When a servitor got into this condition, heroic methods were necessary. Silver should Le restored, but he feared that the habits into which it had fallen were so Btrong that nothing would accomplish this repeal except the gold cure. J Laugh ter and applause.!

They knew each other too welLj Applause and laughter. He crit icized the action or tne new tors: banks, and declared that every one of them had openly and outrageously violated the law for the past thirty days. The remedy was to coin the silver bullion of the treasury. He then spoke in the most eulogistic terms of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and quoted a , newspaper report of 'one of jtheir meet ings wnen one: of the engineers was called upon to offer prayer. I His prayer, was an eloquent one. He said that the locomotive was on the track, the fires were lighted, the boiler ; was full, the men were in their places, th0 track was clear; "but, Ohl Lord, gives us inore sand to-help us go up an incline or come down a-hill in Bafety." . And, Ohl Lord, continued Mr. Hatch, what the Demo cretic party wants is more sand. Ap plause and laughter. J - i. j Mr. Cummings, Democrat, of New York, recognized -the fact that the peo ple of the country demanded action; and not talk, and he had not intended to trespass on the indulgence of the House until he heard the arraignment of the New York Democracy by the gentleman from Mississippi (Stockdale The New York Democracy needed no vindication at his hands but the Southern Democ racy needed vindication before thepeo ple when it arraigned j the jNew York Democracy.

He had left it to Congress tofind a prdper ratio for silver and gold, meanwhile ay voicing the popular ; demand that 'the Shermin act should be at once repealed. Mr. Daarmon, Democrat, of , Tepr essee paid a high tribute ito tlie !P- tnotism and mtegrity of the President, but regretted thai in this instance he tvas unable to follow his lead, arid should be obliged to vote against the Wilson bill.

Secretary Gresham and Minister Blount had another long conference over Hawaiian affairs ths morning at the State Department. They entered into a practical dissection of Minister Blount's several reports, Sec retary Gresham asking fuller explana tion of the various topics treated and Minister Blount giving his views in a manner plainer than he was allowed by his instructions to assume in the prepara tion of his official documents. It is learned that at the conference yesterday Minister Blount ; was told by the Secretary or that the two agreed, that there was no necessity for the Minister to go to Gray Gables for con sultation with the President. The situ ation will be considered by Senator Gresham and Minister Blount until the return of Mr. Cleveland, with a view, to facilitating the decision as to th recommendations of the administration. From the speedy manner with which the question was taken, tip after the return of Mr. Blount, it is believed that the President will send to Congress a special message giving his views on the subject of the relation the United States should bear to Hawaii before the present ses sion tomes to an end. It is said that the adminstration has come to no con clusion with regard to the policy it will recommend, ' After leaving the State Department, J&nister Blount went to the Interior De partment and had a long chat on Georgia matters with the Secretary of the Inte rior, Minister Blount will take the tram to-morrow morning for his home in Co lumbus, Ga.
