Mills Alone Voting in the Negsv s ; f tive A Field Day in the "'ll House Messrs. Cum-" '" 'V . mlngs , and' " Reed ', Iiock Horns. ..;.-. t SENATE. . ;-; Washington, May 11. A long com munication from the Treasury Depart ment, showing the difficulties of making an accurate statement (as required by a Senate resolution) of the cash value, of imports, was presented and was being read when a suggestion was made that the reading be dispensed with, but ob jection was made by Senator Quay and so some fifteen minutes time was con sumed in concluding the reading of the document, which was then referred to the Finance committee. Senator Quay introduced a bill to es tablish a municipal code for the District of Columbia, and call for the first read ing of the bill at length. ..- The clerk began the reading of the bill, which contains 320 printed pages; but had only read a couple of sentences when he was interrupted by Senator Harris. Senator Harris I ask the Senator if he thinks it will be a profitable method of spending the greater part of to-day, under the business pressure which is upon us, in reading at length a bill pro viding for a code for the District of Columbia? Senator Quay A much more profit able way to the State of Pennsylvania and to the country at large, than the manner in which the day is likely to be spent. Senator Harris Then the object of the Senator from Pennsylvania is simply to consume timer The Vice President Without objec tion to the bill being received, it will be read. - Senator Vest I object, to the reading of the bill because it will consume much time and because the Senator from Pennsylvania avows his intention to con sume time. Senator Quay The Senator from Pennsylvania has made no such avowal. Senator Vest lhat is the inevitable logic of his statement. The Vice President read the rule which provides that when a bill or joint resolu tion shall be offered, its introduction shall, if objected to, be postponed for one day. Acting on the cue thus furnished by the Vice President, Senator Harris ob jected to the introduction of the bill and the Vice President ruled that ob3ection being made, the bill went over under the rule. The reeolution heretofore offered by Senator Peffer for a select committee on the present condition of the country, with special reference to the prevailing business depression, was referred to the Committee on Rules. The Tariff bill was taken up at 12 o'clock the pending question being on the amendments off ered yesterday to the item of boracic acid, in the chemical schedule on the first page of the bill. There was no allusion to the question of boracic acid in the speech which Senator Stewart proceeded to make or in Senator Dolph's reply to it, both speeches being on the demonetization of silver, to which Senator Stewart ascribed the business depression,, while Senator Dolph took the contrary view. Senator Harris moved to lay on the table Senator Perkins' amendment to make the rate of duty 5c per pound agreed to. Senator Aldrich moved to amend the amendment by making the rate on bor acic acid 3 cents a pound instead of 2 cents, as proposed in the Jones amend ment. This was also tabled. , Senator Hoar moved to amend the Jones amendment by making the duty on boracic acid 40 per cent., equivalent to 2 cents per pound tabled. Then the Jones amendment was agreed to by a vote of 58 to 1 (Mills). So the duty on boracic acid was fixed at 2 cents per pound. The next item was "Chromic acid, 10 per cent, ad valorem." Senator Jones' amendment was to make it 4 cents a pound agreed to yeas, 57; nays, 2, (Allen and Mills). - The next item on the bill was "citric acid, 20 per cent, ad valorem." The Jones amendment was to fix it at 25 per cent agreed to, 51 to 1 (Mills). The next item in the bill was "tannic acid, or tannin, 35 cents per pound." The Jones amendment was to make it 75 cents. In the course of the discus sion which followed Senator Jonessaid he would modify his amendment and make the rate on tannic acid or tannin 60 cents a pound. No vote was reached up to the hour of adjournment At the request pf Senator Harris, unanimous consent was given that the Senate shall continue to meet at U o'clock a. m., instead of at 10 o'clock as proposed; that the morning hour shall close at 12 o'clock, and that then the Tariff bill shall be taken up and con sidered. The bill for a municipal code for the District of Columbia, which Senator Quay introduced this mtorniug with the purpose of having it read at length and thus consuming much time, wag with drawn by him. After a brief executive session the Senate afc !.:15 o'clock adjourned until to-morrow. " HOUSE OF REJRW?TATIVE8. After the passage of several private bilk and the call of committees, Mr. ijoud moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole on the private calendar, but by a vote of 109 to 59 this was refused, and on motion of Mr. Cum- minors, chairman of the Naval Commit tee, the House proceeded to tne ponsia rf the Naval Appropriation bill. A vigorous arraignment of the Repub lican administration of the navy yard by Mr. Cummings, including a reference of employment of a force at the forts mnnth naw vard for the benefit of ex- Speaker Reed, and the sarcastio rejoinder of Mr. Reed, were the principal features r.f the debate on the IS aval Appropria tion bill, which occupied all the day's session. . .

COMMERCIAL NEWS.- Stocks and Bonds I n New York The - Grain and Provision Markets; ' ' ; of Chicago. ' New York, May 11, It was almost in sufferably dull at the Stock Exchange to-day, only 90,000 shares having been traded in during the entire session. At the opening the market was weak for the Industrials and firm for the rail ways, but the changes were unimportant. The market ruled steady until after 1 o'clock, when Sugar receded H, General Electric 1 and Chicago Gas . These' were the greatest fluctuations outside -of Manhat tan,' which dropped : from .125 to 122. The last named , was soil' down on the statement for ' the ' March quarter, which shows a decrease " in gross of f215,712, in net of $183,911, and in surplus of $170,241. It was also re ported that the East side lines were being injured by the cable roads; neither the gold exports nor the poor railway earn ings for the first week of May to hand to-day had much influence on the share speculation, as both were expected. At the moment the market appears to be in the hands of the room traders, the blD nnfra.torn n avinr " amAemti-r' raTf tired from the field until some thing definite is known regarding the face of the Tariff bill. United States Cordage stocks, which were listed on Wednesday, were quoted for the first time, the common at 20 J to 21$; the pre ferred at 39 to 40, and the guaranteed at 67 to 85. The preferred sold at 40. Net changes for the day show declines of i to 1 per cent., except for Manhattan, which lost 2 per cent; Rock Island gained f and Delaware and Hudson per cent. Railway 1 and miscellaneous bonds were dull and weaker. Sales of listed stocks were 69,000; unlisted, 27, 000. ' Chicago, May 11. Wheat suffered from an unexpected break to-day. There had been too much buying during the past few days and everybody seemed to be fixed for a bulge in anticipation of the bullish Government report, instead of which the crowd were treated to gen uine surprise in the form of a weak and declining msrket. There was some good buying near the close, much of it by holders of "puts." July opened at 59c, declined to 59jc and closed at 59J to 59c, a net loss of c for the day. The corn market declined under free offerings by receivers and sales of long wheat in liquidation.. The feeling was imbibed from wheat, although prices did not fare quite so badly as they did in that market. The range of prices for July was between 39c and 38f c, and the close was jfc below that of yesterday at 38jc to 38jc. There was a fair demand fo'r cash corn. Prices were about ic lower than yesterday. In oats, May option was again the weakest delivery. The rest of the mar ket was easier, in sympathy with it and wheat. Offerings were very free and shorts are recovering their courage. At the close May was c under yesterday and July to fc lower. Cash oats were weak and i to ic lower. In provisions, on a light trade, the market for product was firm. The hog market was firm and higher. Conse quently a like tone was shown by provis ions. The best buying of the day was by the Cudahys, and their purchases con stituted the only feature in the dull mar ket. July pork closed 5c higher, July lard 7lc higher and July ribs 5c higher. There was a fairly good cash demand for home consumption, but other, accounts were dull. Sun's Cotton Review. New York, May it. The Sun's cot ton report says: Cotton advanced 8 to 9 points, closing very steady, with sales of 91,200 bales. The Liverpool market ad vanced lj to 2 points and lost part of thuu closing quiet and steady, with spot sales of 1,000 bales at hardening but un changed prices, The. supply of cotton for Great Britain during the past week has decreased 22,000 bales, and is now 100,000 larger than at this time last year. In Manchester yarns were quiet but steady, for cloths offers were scarce. New Orleans advanced 10 to 12 points. Spot cotton here was l-16c higher; 141 Dales sold or ;: spinning. South ern markets were, steady or hrm. The receipts at the ports were 4,074 bales, against 1M65 this day last week and 4,346 last year; total for the week, 23,018, against 41,557 last week and 28,201 last year. New Orleans receipts to-morrow are estimated at 1,200 to 1,500 bales, against 1,591 on the same day last week and 757 last year. Local, Southern and European buying here, in conjunction with an advance in Liverpool and small crop movement, as well as stronger markets at the South, caused a firmer tone m the New York market.

The Senate to day confirmed the nomination of F. M. Simmons, collector of internal revenue for the Fourth district of North Caro-f Una; also Caroline A. Youngblood, post master at Chf ster, C. J. Sandon, at Cam den, and J. S. McKensie, at Florence, S. C. 1 The President to-day sent to the Sen ate the following nominations: Charles D. Walcott, of New York, to be director of the geological survey, vice John W. Powell, resigned, and Wm. P. Huffman. 'pustmaster at Hickory, N. C. The treasury net balance is stated at $122,813,000, of which $92,301,000 is in gold. The treasury this afternoon is notified that $2,900,000 in gold has been engaged at the New York sub-treasury fdr shipment to Europe to-morrow. This will reduce the gold reserve in the treas ury to $89,500,000. Since the last bond issue in February the treasury has sus tained a net loss of nearly $20,000,000. Comparisons by weeks show the gold exported during April and May of last year and this' year. These figures show that the exports for the past six weeks have exceeded the exports for the cor responding period of last year nearly 4,000,000. Last year, however, gold ex ports began earlier and up to May 15th were heavier by several million dollars than they have been this year. Secretary Carlisle to-day compromised the case against Postmaster Gannaway, of Slaughter, Va., for violation of the internal revenue law by accepting as penalty $925, a fine of 90 cents a gallon on 2,111 gallons of brandy. It was ex pressly stipulated that the compromise did not debar criminal action against him and applied only to his case so far as the official investigation had gone. Acting Secretary Wike, of the Treas ury Department, to-day remitted the fine of $900 imposed some time ago on the British steamer Buckingham for per mitting three stowaways, who were de barred from landing, to escape and sub sequently land in this country. The Buckingham first touched at New York from Liverpool. The stowaways were refused a landing and subsequently with them on board the vessel sailed for Sa vannah, Ga. There the stowaways were put by the captain of the Buckingham on board a vessel bound for London, Eng. The stowaways escaped. The Buchingham on her return trip stopped by Norfolk, Va., for coal and was then fined $300 for each stowaway, which she paid. . This case has been the sub ject of an opinion by Attorney General Olney and of correspondence between the State Department and the British Minister.

Baltimore Dealers Adopt Heroic Measures New York Ordering Welsh Coal The Serious Sit uation in Philadelphia. Baltimore, May 11. The coal situa tion is daily growing more serious. Dealers to-day resorted to heroic meas ures to obtain a few hundred tons of fuel for their customers. A number of cars were standing on the piers at Locust Point, which the Baltimore and Ohio officials ordered hauled to their yards. An engine was dispatched to the piers, but employes of the dealers removed several yards of track. The cars were then hastily unloaded into scows, which were soon safely anchored in the harbor. Although the news from the mining districts has been favorable for a satis factory settlement of the strike, the rail roads continue to confiscate for then own use all the coal on their lines. Fac tories have been forced to use other fuel or to" shut down entirely because of of the scarcity of bituminous coal. Thus far the steamers have been supplied with coal, but not a pound is being shipped from this port, several partly j loaded vessels being unable to complete their cargoes. Advices from the Maryland mines to day are to the effect that but little work is being done. New York, May 11. This city is already feeling the effects of the strike in the coal regions. The scarcity of soft coal at this port has precipitated heavy imports of Welsh bituminous coal. Heavy orders haye been sent from here and already thousands of tons are on the way. Among the companies ordering is the Berwind White Coal company. It was compelled to order 15,000 tons of bituminous coal from Cardiff, Wales, and 5,000 tons from Nova Scotia. Philadelphia, May 11. The strike of the soft coal miners is having a tempo rarily disastrous effect on the coasting trade of Philadelphia, in which the coal shipments form a most important item. So great is the scarcity of bituminous coal that the Greenwich Point piers of the Pennsylvania railroad, which are exclusively devoted to this trade, have had to suspend operations entirely, what little coal there is in transit having been taken by the railroad company for use in its locomotives. The same state of affairs prevails at the Port Richmond piers of the Reading railroad, and all the coal destined for the pier of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has been seized by that company. News Items from Kinston. Correspondence of the Messenger. Kinston, May 10. Memorial day was observed here to day and everything passed off pleas antly.

It was a pleasure to him to introduce the "scholar, statesman and soldier. I am sorry I cannot give you CoL Wad dell s speech m lull, we expected some thing good and were not disappointed. He spoke to the large audience in his usual fine manner, and how glad we were to hear such words of beauty and praise come from one whom we admire and love. The speaker was listened to by the large audience attentively, and our ears drank jn the words of beauty as they came from th.e lips' of him who should be Senator.
