Senator Chandler Let that resolution go over and be printed. I take occasion to suggest to the Senator from Nebraska that before he asks for its adoption it would be well to ascertain wheter or not the Secretary of the Treasure has the means of answering the inquiries. 1 am afraid the Senate will find that there are no immediate data from which an answer can be made; Senator Allen Answers to a resolu tion of substantially the same character were made bv the Secretary of the Treasury in 1886, based on the census of 1880. This resolution is not a new thing by any means. . The resolution went over till to morrow. At noon the Tariff bill was taken up and the progress upon it was somewhat encouraging. With no more discussion than Buch as had immediate relation to the items on the chemical . schedule, according as they were reached items from No 12 to No 28 were disposed of, leaving the rates of duty as follows: Chloral hydrate, 25 per cent, ad valorem; chloroform, 25 cents per pound; coal tar colors or dies, 25 per cent, ad valorem ; oxide of cobalt, 25 cents per pound; collodon, 40 cents per pound, rolled or in sheets, but not made up into articles, 50 cents per pound, if in finished or partly finished articles, ,45 per cent, ad valorem: coloring for brandy, wine beer or other liouors. 50 per cent, ad va lorem; drugs, such as barks, beans, ber ries, etc.. 10 per cent, ad valorem; sul phuric ethers. 40 cents per pouna; spirits of nitros ether, 25 cents per pound: fruit ethers, oils or essences, $3 per pound; ether of all kinds not especially provid ed for $1 per pound.

The only noteworthy points in the day's discussion were: A charge by Senator Vest tht the Republican Sena tors were wasting day after day in "In sectivorous" discussion; a declaration by i,: fkut tho Democratic Senators in tended to pass the bill if it took them till the snow fell, and a denial on the part of Senator Aldrich that any disposition had been or would be shown by the Repub lican Senators to do any thing except discuss the bill fairly and properly. There would be no filibustering, he added, on the part of the opponents of the bill. l , , , The Senate adjourned at 5:40 o clock p. m. after a brief executive session. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The Louisiana Lottery Condemned The Resolution on Liquor Traffic Reports of Committees Acted Upon. Memphis, Tenri., May 15 Bishop Fitzgerald called the conference to order this morning. Dr. James Cambell. of the Texas conference, conducted the morning devotional exercises. .After prayer the conference began disposing of regular business. The minutes of yesterday's session were read and approved. . . BishopFitzgerald announced the names of gentlemen appointed on the commit tee of the -.Peace Congress " They are: J. H. Carlisle, J. W. Heidt, and W. D. Palmore. Bishop Wilson then took the chair and ordered the call for reports of standing committees. . A resolution condemning the late Louisiana State lottery which, though driven from the country, still has a won derful hold on it, was read. The resolu tion also sanctioned the measures now pending in the Senate to exterminate this evil. The resolution went to its place on the calendar. The committee on temperance offered an amended report on the original re port of this committee. After many hours of speech making and arguing it was recommitted. Dr. Black moved sus pension of the rules in order that the re port could be acted on at once carried. Following is the report as amended and adopted : "Let all our preachers and members abstain from the manufacture of intoxi cating liquors to be used as a beverage, from signing petitions for such sale or manufacture, from becoming bondsmen for any persons aff' a condition for ob taining a license and fromrenting prop erty to be used for such sale. If any member shall violate any of the provis ions of this paragraph he shall be deem ed guilty of immorality. "Nevertheless, in the case of a mem ber who shall sign a petition for such sale or shall become a bondsman for any person engaged in the traffic or shall rent property to be used for such sale, it shall be the duty of the pastor to deal with tne onenaer as provided tor in chapter 7, section 5, paragraph 281, page 164," The committee on fraternal correspond ence concurred with the recommenda tions of the resolution that fraternal messengers should be appointed to the Canadian Government conference, and that the book agents be required to write a letter of greeting to the Wesleyan con ference in .hngland. The committee on col portage recom mended non-concurrence in the memorial from the Texas conference which asked that the depository system, be stopped, as it reduced the commission of the col porteur and the profits of the publishing house. Adopted. The report of the committee on educa tion, designed to accomplish what has been considered with increased favor at every general conference since 1882, was read. It embodies the action recom mended by our bishops in their address before several annual conferences, in memorials to this conference and by chief men among us in position to sur vey the field, such as Doctors Morton' Tigert, Hossen, Chandler and many others. It has the endorsement of our educators generally and was the unani mous report of the committee on educa tion. A motion to alter that part of the dis cipline which relates to the licensing of preachers and put the granting thereof in the hands of the district conference, caused much discussion. A minority re port was also offered. The previous question was moved and the motion pre vailed. The minority report was voted down and the majority report was im mediately adopted.

It is expected by the owning of the next cotton season that Charleston will have at least twenty-hve feet of water on her bar. There have been some misleading report 33 to the present depth of water on the bar, which are sutUeiently answered in the following .extract of a letter from the president or Jje Charleston Cotton Exchange to the ,'Juted States coast and geodetic survev at Washington: " The depth of water now on Charleston jar u officially stated to be seventeen " , -t at low water, which at mean high tfi , , "ouhi give twenty -two feet.

The Wonderful Growth of this Indus try in the South in the Past Few Years. Baltimore, May 15. The Manufactu rers' Record this week published a his tory of the growth of the cotton-seed oil industry in the South. Jn 1880 there were forty cotton-seed mills, with an ag gregate capital of $3,500,000. There are now 300 mills, having a combined capital of $30,000,000. At present about 1,500, 000 tons of seed are annually used by the mills, yielding to the farmers about $18,000,000 a year for a product which until recently was regarded as waste ma terial. The total output is about 1,500,000 barrels or 6O,0CO,00O gallons of oil, 500, 000 tons of cotton seed meal, 750,000 tons of hulls and 30,000,000 pounds of linters, the aggsegate value of which would average abot $20,000,000 to $30,000,000. The demand f or" oil is steadily expanding and as only about one-third of the total cotton seed crop is now consumed by the mills, there is practically an , unlimited room for the growth of this business in the "future. It is estimated that 500,000 barrels of cotton oil are used in the West in manufacture of lard compounds; 20, 000 barrels in Maine for packing sardines, 50,000 to 160,000 barrels in soap making; 200,000, to 300,000 barrels gQ to Holland for use in the manufacture Gf butter or eleomagarine and large quantities to Mediterranean ports for mixing with olive oil. Ten years ago the hulls were burned by the mills as a fuel as no other use could be found for them. Investiga tion proved that they made exellent feed for cattle and last year about 400,000 hil rJ rattle were fattened for the market on cott&nj3ped hulls, with 100, 000 milch cows were fed yn-fhe same material. Glyen a Hearing by the House Com mittee on" Appropriations-pThey i Want Government Approval of the Scheme Asking For a ! Half Million;DoUar Ap- J propriation for a Government Exhibit. Washington, May 15. Citizens, ac companied by a party of" representative business men of the South, to-day ap peared before the House Committee on Appropriations and explained the aims and purposes of the proposed cotton States international exposition to be held in Atlanta in the fall of 1895. C. A. Collier, president of the exposi tion, said the idea which induce those back of the enterprise to undertake it at this time was that the time had arrived for securing closer commercial relations with the South American countries. The great bulk of this trade now went to Europe, which was, by all laws of trade, business fchaV-belonged -to-tho United !" dU ."r. Shatea With nrnrmr otifmiracremptit. lhi 1 tUrO lghOUt, trade could be turned in our favor. The promoters of the exposition wanted the Government to give its approval. Such recognition was necessary for it3 suc cess, and especially abroad. They did not ask a Government appro priation to aid the exposition, but wanted the Government to erect a build ing and make an exhibit. While At lauta men had started the enterprise, it was in no way a local affair. All the Southern and Southwestern States had endorsed it, and promised their support. New York, New Jersey and some of the New England States bad already ex pressed a desire to participate. The ob ject was to make it an international and inter-State affair, and the Government should be glad to endorse an enterprise which was for the good of the whole country.The exposi-x tion committee desired Congress to authorize the erection of a $200,000 building and to appropriate $300,000 for transportation and care of a Government exhibit. So far, between $500,000 and $600,000 had been secured, bt the committee did - not want to go beyond the limits of their State for sub scriptions until the Government had given the movement its approval. Foreign Ministers in Washington had been consulted informally and had given assurance that as soon as the Govern ment had put the stamp of approval on the enterprise, they would present the matter to their Governments, Representative Livingstone, of Ga., said that the representatives of foreign Governments would not take part in the affair unless it was approved by this Government. In reply to a query by Representa tive Combs. Mr. Collier said that one of the main objects of the exposition was to show our people and those abroad our ability to compete with Great Britain and Germany in trade with them. Mr. Howell added that if we could im press upon the South American repub lics the advantages of dealing with us and our ability to supply them with goods, we would accomplish all we wanted. In doing this we would benefit the whole country. J. W. Labouisse, president' of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange said that body heartily endorsed the movement. If we wanted to extend our trade, the best wtty to do so was to show the wTorld what we could do. The great coffee steamers come to our ports, unloaded, take on a load of cotton for England and return from there to Rio and Santos with car goes of manufactured goods. Why should they not be loaded ana from our ports. S. M. Inman, of that the proposed exposition tendency Atlanta Of the Southern Baptist Convention The NextConyention to be at Aunsta Ga. Dallas, Texas, May 15. The dele gates and visitors to the Baptist conven tion commenced to leave yesterday and last night and this morningr. and oat going trains were loaded, many of them carrying additional coaches in order to accommodate the extra travel. There were, however, enough left in the town to-day to fill the tabernacle and make apparently as large a crowd as ever. The convention was called to order at 9 o'clock by Bishop Harralson. The us ual devotional exercises were gone through with, and the convention ad dressed itself to the unfinished business of the committee on home work, which occupied the convention all day yester day. When this was dispatched, several resolutions were called, among them one extending a vote of thanks to the press of the city for the exhaustive and ac currate reports made of the proceedings of the convention and for the kind treat ment generally the delegates and visi tors have received, It was ordered that 10,000 copies of the printed proceedings of the convention be distributed and that in future a full official programme in advance be printed and adhered to The vice president's report was then read, and as it was very volu minous, it took some time. The com mittees on foreign missions, on home missions, and on Sunday schools were re-elected for the ensuing year and their headquarters will continue at Richmond, Atlanta and Nashville respectively. The committee on basis of representa tion reported in favor of a reduction of the representation on x the ground that the body is getting unwieldly. A vote was taken on the suggestion, which was voted down. The Baptists have for several years at their conventions invited the whole world to fraternize with them on a Bible basis. In response to the invitation, a communication was received this morn ing from the Christians (or Campbellites) which was presented by Rev. T.x M. Davis, who represented a committee ap pointed for that purpose by the general conference of the Disciples. The paper sets forth that there is no difference be tween the two denominations on the point of Baptism, and there is no reason why there might not be organic unity between them. The communication was referred to a special committee of five with instructions to prepare a cour teous and fraternal response to the Dis ciples. The question of the consolidation of the home field and foreign mission boards was referred to a special com There being no further business before the convention, the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Loftus and while the whole congregation joined in "Am I a Soldier of the Cross" the con vention went into the committee of the whole on a grand hand shaking and fare well at 1:1 o o clock. While the next place of meeting has not yet been announced, it is a foregone conclusion that Augusta, Ga , will be selected. A telegram from the mayor of that city was received by the convention this morning extending an invitation in behalf of the citizens to hold the semi centennial meeting in Augusta, where the convention wasonennallv orsranized. The resolutions of Dr. Canfil, intro- j duced yesterday, condemning the Cath ! olic religion and warning everybody in and .out of office to lookout for a sudden i surprise which might suppress the entire i American eagle and which Was referred to the committee on resolutions, were not reported back, and thus has ended j the most memorable religious conven j tion that ever met in Texas.

Jordan, of Columbus, Ga,,spoke of the railroad facilities of the South. The exposition would largelyjlevelop the resources of the Southern States. Mr. Howell referred to the interest peo- taken in the matter by the colored pie and introduced Bishop Gaines, of the Ueorgia ooiorea ju. c cnurcn. uisnop Gaines endorsed the statements of the speakers before him. Nothing he said, could be brought to bear which would be of more good, especially to .the col ored race, than the exposition. The colored men are not going to Africa, They were American citizens and in tended to stay here and help develop the country. They wanted to bring exhibits to Atlanta and let the world see what they could do. They would turn the light on the bright side of their race and show what they could do the dark side had been often shown. Bishop Grant, of the colored M. E. Church of Texas, said that those present knew the colored people and what they could do. He wanted to correct the im pression that they were no good.

Sinners who desire to see picturesque Mexico for a small sum of money may join the ex cursion and enjoy all rates and privileges enjoyed by the Baptists.

Roughly 6tated, about twelve acres have been burned over. from fifty to sixty buildings destroyed and some 500 families made homeless. The fire crossed Tremont street, but was confined mainlv to the section bounded bv Sterling "Burke and Corbet streets. Several firemen were injured and Chief Webber was badly hurt and taxen to the hosDital. Several nieces of fire appa ratus had to be abandoned. - Probably the most valuable buildings burned were the grand stand on the ball grounds, which cost 75.000. and the Franklin ! school on Tremont street.
