Brunswick, Ga., is a notable instance of theellectivene-s of .Federal control of its quarantine. This city last year suf fered ail the horrors which a plague can iiossibly alllict upon a people, in carry ing many oif by death and driving many more away, completely paralyzing thote hemmed in by quarantine restrictions, and destroying for the time all business. Bat once the quarantine is removed, such is public confidence in Federal con trol of its quarantine, that people re turned at once and BruDswick s com mercial interests went ahead as if noth- ng had happened. Without National assistance it is pretty safe to say that the Port of Wilmington would be without the necessary quaran tine protection which is so imperatively demanded to preserve her commercial interests. The appropriations made by the State, $20,000, and the city of Wilmington, $5,000, if available and ready for use. would prove insufficient to provide a quarantine station for this port that would meet all exigencies. ?ut these appropriations are as far from aCtual availability as though they had never been voted or agreed upon, as ,t.h nnnronrih,wonof the city of Wuming ton cannot be ;sed owing tolawsgov rnine the- use oi city money for any . curDose outside of lt corporate Umits, ;and without Wilmihg'S expropriation . thft State's onuld not be toCCliea. . The Leader has alwavs urged a Na tional quarantine system, as the best and safest, one which thoroughly inspires confidence, a condition absolutely neces eary for indiyidual and commercial pres' ervation It is to be urged upon all who have any influence to hasten this quarantine matter and place the port of Wilmington in a Bafe and confident position in the matter of its quarantine. Southport BLOW PROGRESS BEING MADE ON THE TARIFF BILL'IN THE SENATE TwoParagrapns Disposed of in Two Days Resolution to Abandon the Government's Claim Against the Stanford Estate Ques tion of Government Aid to Denominational Indian Schools. SENATE. Washington, June 7. It required twenty minutes of the morning half hour to secure a quorum in the Senate to-day. Then Senator Hoar offered a resolution directing the Judiciary committee to in quire into the justice and equity of the claim of the United States against the estate of the late Leland Stanford, and to report as soon as may be whether it is expedient that such claim shall be forth with relinquished and put at rest. It seemed to him, he said, that the Govern ment ought at once to consider the ques tion of absolutely relinquishing and put ting the claim at rest. He did not suppose that anybody had ever seriously imagined that Senator Stanford's estate was liable for the debt of the Central Pacific Rail road company to the Government. But whether there was a technical claim, or whether there was a claim founded in law and equity, his great estate had been devoted to a public purpose. It was one of the most illustrious examples of public benefaction. He had met their late es teemed colleague in the South of France the year before last a few months be fore his death, and when the disease which terminated his life was already becoming master, and Stanford had then expressed his feeling in relation to the great property which he had ac cumulated, and had expressed the hope that every child on the Pacifis coast, of the poorest as well as of the richest, should receive a good education. Now whether the Government had a claim against that estate or not, it was certain that it would take twelve or fifteen years to have it settled in the courts, and would perhaps, imperil, embarrass and perhaps entirely destroy that great bene faction. If there was socialism which had truth or justice in it, it was the socialism which devoted the wealth of the rich to the education of the poor. Senator Blackburn opposed; the reso lution as unprecedented in the fact that ic directed inquiry to be made into a claim already asserted by the proper officers of the Government. He apprehended that all Senators shared in Senator Hoar's admira tion of the late Senator Stanford for the devotion of his vast es ate to purposes of education. But the question was whether he had given his own property and his own estate or whether he had diverted $15,000,000 which did not belong to him and did belong to the Federal Government. The Attorney General was reported in the public press to have have already taken the prelimi nary steps to test the question as to whether it was Senator Stanford or the Govern ment that had furnished the 115.000,000 hat went to the building and endow- rhof rrtoof W"t n o r ir r o I inofihi. tion on f-he Pacific, seaboard. If it should hn i nrertaltea ana reported Dy ine Judiary commftee that the Government had no equint m m "? claim should be relinquished and set at rest, that report would not stop with the claim against tne Btaniora esiaie aioue, but would apply to tne ciaim agaiust Hopkins, Huntington and others. The resolution went over without action till to-morrow and then the Tariff bill was taken up. Senator Harris, in charge of the bill, asked unanimous consent in order to avoid lengthened sessions, that for the remainder of the agricultural schedule and for schedules on spirits and wines, cotton manufactures and nax, hemp ana jute.'4f rom page 43 to page 68, the debate J be limited to rive minutes to each Sena tor on each paragraph and amendment. There was a general disposition manir f ested on the Republican side to accede to this nronosition. but. ultimately, after a lpmrthened coloauy. objection was made by Senator Quay and the whole matter foil throuch. Senator Aklrich then addressed him self to a discussion of the paragraph put ting a duty of 20 per cent, ad .valorem on buckwheat, corn or maize, cornuieai, oate, rye. rye flour, wheat and wheat flour and of 15 per cent, on oatmeal; but ad- mitting each of those products free ol duty from any country which imposes no imDort dutv on the like product when Axnnrkrl from the United States. The 15 per cent, on oaf meal was offered as an amendment irom me luauue uuujujiii. Senator McLaurin. Democtat, of Mis- nni. caused some astonishment fcy tji'umr tart for the first time in the dis suasion Ha was led to do so, he said, because it had been charged on, the Re- nublican side of the Chamber tn&t tfce hill was sectional, and that it diacnmi natfid in favor of the South. So far as his State was concerned he asserted that that that was not true; that there was not a product of Mississippi protected by thp bill, and that the only two products of Mississippi which a tariff could bene fitwool and lumber.-were placed ou the free list. Finally, the discussion, which had lasted for six hours, came to an end, and the rote was taken on the committee amendment to reduce the duty on oat meal to 15 oer ceni. ad valorem. The amendment was agreed fg yeas, 30; navs. 24. At this point Senator Harris said, in his most sarcastic vein of humor: "Mr. President, I am so much gratified by the r .,... tliat between yesterday ana to-uay we hve disposed or two gmaii para- - - m .11 eranhs of the agricultural schedule, fhat I mOVe li.13,1' LUtI OtUUMS UU UYV JJUVECU tn th rnniuerauon oi execuwve muhi ness."

Most ! of lie evangelical denominations,. he said, had voluntarily withdrawn from the field, recognizing the inconsistency ff reeeiM national aid forineir eecia- rian schools, and he urged the House to take such action as would put an end to the system altogetherr Responding to questions by various members, Mr. Linton said that in 1893 the bureau paid to it Roman i Catholic schools $369,935, out of a total of $525,881 disbursed in that year for educational purposes. Other denominations receiving school aid that year numbered fifteen. He had no fight to make against any single de nomination or Church, but wanted all aid to church schools withdrawn. "When the bureau asked that the Government officials to name the text books to be used in church schools, arrange the course of study . and decide upon the requirements and capacities of the teachers, these conditions were ac cepted by all Churches but the Catho lic. The Indian was the ward of tie nation, and the Government ought not to make him a prey to sectarian influ ence. A union of Church and State had in the past led to serious trouble and bloodshed. He was not an alarmist, bus he asked the House to take warning from the records of history and to listen to the demands of the times for a total separation of Church and State. At 2:45 o'clock the committee rose, and five minutes later the House adjourned. SENTjTO THE PENITENTIARY. Bank. President Haughey Given Six Years The Judge Breaks Down While Sentencing His , Aged Mother Ignorant of ; His " Down Pall. ' Indianapolis, Ind., June 7. Thea dore P. Haughey, the aged ex -president of the . wrecked Indianapolis National bank, was given siv years in the peni tentiary this morning. A few month ago he pleaded guilty .to misapplying the funds of the bank and thereby avoided a public trial. In passing sentence Judge Baker broke down and cried like a child. He said that it was the most painful duty of his life. The prisoner was taken to the Northern penitentiary at noon to day. He will be assigned to the hos pital department and will be granted every freedom possible under the prison rules. Haughey was a member of one of the prominent churches in this city and a well-known Mason. Hi3 beauti ful suburban home at Mapleton ia all that has been saved.

Coxey, Carl Browne and Jones, notwithstanding all their professions to the contrary, are tired of martyrdom. Jones, the Phila delphia leader was only sentenced to twenty days; the other two had the option of serving ten days more or pay ing each $5 fine. If they ever had any serious intention of remaining in jail ten days they have changed their minds now, for this morning when Richardson Anderson, the van driver, went to the jail to get prisoners for the police court, he was handed $10, sent to him by Coxey,, with a request that the fines be paid. This the van driver did, and the three Common wealers will be turned out of prison Saturday, probably about noon. Jes3e Coxey . and "Oklahoma Sam" again tried to-day to get a permit from the police authorities to parade their ragged army in celebration of the release of the leaders. The police refused a per mit and the matter was appealed to the District commissioners.

She f 8 to Be Provided For by Them in an Ample Manner Senator Gor don Explains ibe Action Taken by the Veteran Association at the Birmingham . Reunion. Washington, June 7. During the recent Confederate reunion at Birming ham, Ala., a dispatch was sent to some of the newspapers, representing, in effect, that the Confederate veterans had abandoned all efforts to aid Mr. Jeffer son Davis, on the ground of her tempo rary residence in New York. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, who is commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Vet erans, and who presided over that meet ing, says: , "The dispatch was not only a gross perversion of the facts, calculated to deeply wound Mrs. Davis, but is an out rage on the spirit and manhood of the Confederate association. The facts briefly stated are these: The committee appointed at a previous reunion to me morialize the Southern States in refer ence to a pension for Mrs. Davis re ported at Birmingham that the States could not grant such a pension on ac count of certain clauses in the States' constitution. Not one word of criticism was made of Mrs. iDavis on account qf her temporary residence in New York, nor was one thought entertained of aban doning the purpose to provide for her in the most unostentatious but ample man ner. All the Southern people know that Mrs. Davis and her daughter could not live alone at their home, and her inti mate friends know that there existgrave reasons for their stay in New York at present. It is also generally known, I think, that every dollar .of money raised after the death of Mr. Davis, for the benefit of Mrs. Davis, was, at her earnest request, devoted to payments of hia debts."

The commmittee appointed for the purpose of selecting histories for adoption by the public schools of Virginia pre sented their report, recommending that a committee be appointed to wait upon the State board of education and urge upon them the adoption of Chambers' and Shinns histories. Comrade Cussons, of Richmond, moved an amendment that essays on the Southern wars, its cause, etc.. be prepared for use in the public schools, not as a substitute for histories which may be adopted, but as auxiliaries. The report and amendment were adopted. Comrade T. C.

Gov't Report. 1 A COMMERCIAL NEWS Stocks and Bonds in New York The Grains and provision Markets of Chicago. New York, June 7. Speculation at the Stock Exchange was less active to day, the sales amounting to 176,000 Bhates, against 217,000 yesterday. The same causes which operated in bringing about higher prices yesterday held good again to-day and the railway list scored a further improvement. A belief that the soft coal strike is nearing an eod, the better condition of . the market for wheat, and the comparatively favorable yearly reports of the Rock Island and the 'Chicago and Northwestern all tended to change the temper of specula tion and widen the market for stocks, especially for the railway issues. London was a disappointment, inasmuch as the foreigners did not respond with larger buying orders in view of the rise here. Local operators, however, set to work early and soon established an advance of i to 1 per cent. Burlington and Quincy, the Grangers, Missouri Pacific and West ern Union all were prominent in the upward movement. During the afternoon speculation became vey quiet, but the rise noted was well maintained. New York Central was something of a feature at this time,' selling up to 99. In the Industrials the sales of Sugar fell from 87,500 yesterday to 39,200 shares. The fluctuations were on the same order,' the extremes for the day having been 105$ and 107i, with the final transactions at 106f, the latter a net loss of per cent, for the day. There appear to be a dis1 position to go slow in this stock until something definite is learned of the dis Eosition of the sugar schedule by the ouse. i Chicago Gas was firm through out at 75i to 76J. Operators generally belieyed that the Moloney proceed ings against this company have been abandoned. Brokers identified with insiders were again buyers of "Whiskey. General Electric was in better demand, rising 2 per ceut. to 38, with a reaction near the close to 37f. The reported appointment of receivers for the Fort Wayne company was con firmed, the stock selling at its highest point after the announcement. Later in the day Lead loomed into prominence and a light trading was indulged in. It rose about a point to 40. The market closed firm, notwithstanding the talk about shipments of at least $2,500,000 gold from this port and Boston on Satur day next. Net changes for the day show gains of i to 1J pei cent, except in the cases of Sugar, Union Pacific, North western and Reading, which lost i to i per cent. 5 The bond market was more active and strong. CHiCAGi), June 7. At the end of the Bession to-day wheat was off to c from yesterday's closing figures. The fluctuations and changes in the temper of the market showed a very unsettled feeling in7 the trade. There were vast quantities of wheat coming on tha j market throughout the entire day, while ! at the same time the buying gave evi-j dence of renewed hope and confidence in the minds of those who have tenaci ously clung to the bull side through the vicissitudes of the long drawn out decline that has just been brought to a close. This class of operators expressed satis faction that prices held as well as they did to-day, claiming that they had hardly expected the extreme advance, made yesterday, to maintain. July wheat opened from 59 to 59c, after wards fluctuating very severely between 59c and 59c, closing with the loss above noted, at 58 to 58c. Cash wheat was in good demand, with prices follow ing closely on the futures, y The feeling in the corn market and the changes in prices were controlled more by the action of the other grains than by the news directly bearing on themselves. The amount of business transacted was light in comparison with that seen in wheat and oats. Cables were to Id higher. July corn closed a shade under September and Jc under yesterday. Cash corn was in good demand. Offerings were moderate. Prices ruled Jc under July for No. 2 and J to ic over for No. 2 yellow. Oats, in continuation of the strength and buoyancy of jesterday's market, opened firm and higher this morning. June closed If c higher than yesterday and July unchanged. There was a good cafdi demand at higher prices. Provisions were neglected until the lastfgw minutes of the session, when prices became firm on some buying of pork and ribs by the Cudahy Packing company. Previous to that there was absolutely no trading of note. The feel ing was easy at the start, on a slight de cline in the price of live hogs. There after, until the buying already men tioned, prices held barely steady. . July pork closed ?ic higher than yesterday, July lard a shade higher and July ribs 2Jc higher. The Han's Cotton Review. New York. June 7. The Sun's cotton review says: Cotton declined 2 poinfcy but recovered this and advanced 3, to 4, then closed steady at a rise for the day of 3 to 3 points," with sales of 76,000 bales. Liverpool declined 1 point and then regained it. Spot sales were 10, 000 bales. . In Manchester yarns were quite but steady, cloths in moderate de mand.

Gudger - no Populist Senator Gray Can cels His Kngagement ' Location of North Caro I Una Troops at I ' Hbarpsbnrg. Messenger Bureau, ) " I Raleigh. June 7. The dancing in the beautiful ball room at the university was kept up until a late hour last night. The company was a brilliant one. The ball room has hitherto been decorated at each commencement with drapery, which was expensive, as a renewal was necessary annually, but now the interior is painted, in white and blue and gold. On each side of the band stand is the emblem of one of the literary societies. Secretary Hoke Smith and Governor Carr remained until mid night. The testimony of all the visitors appears to be that there was never a pleasanter commencement. The stu dents, both personally and in regard to their orations, etc, acquitted themselves with marked credit. Secretary Smith came here at 1 o'clock this afternoon, from Chapel Hill, by in vitation of the Chamber of Commerce, through Charles E. Johnson, its presi dent, and was shown much attention. He expected to have gone to the Greens boro Female college yesterday afternoon, but was compelled to abandon this plan until to-day. He left for Greensboro at 4 o'clock, in order to spend the night there. The change in the weather yesterday was absolutely startling. The sun blazed in the morning and suddenly a cold wave came up, chilling people at work out doors, particularly on the farms. The Commissioner of Agriculture said to your correspondent this morning: "I never in my life saw such a , poor pros pect for the farmers. Everything is against them. The cold nights are about to destroy the cotton." v Considerable . rain has fallen! A high wind accompanied it, and this blew down some of the grain shocks. Persons who came to-day from Cumberland county report a phenomenally severe hailstorm there yesterday. Your correspondent is positively assured by a prominent gentleman who is a warm friend of Mr. H. A. Gudger, of Asheville, that the rumors of Mr. Gudger's joining the Third party are untrue; that he has no sympathy with the Populists, but is, as always, a Dem ocrat. . In about sixty days it is expected that operations will begin at the car wheel works here. The exact number of persons who went to Wilmington from here Tuesdav on the excursion was 1,273. It perhaps breaks the record m the State. Senator Gray, of Delaware, writes that he will be unable to go to Trinity college next week, to deliver the commence ment oration, i Deputy Collector Wallace reports the destruction, near Outlaw's bridge, Duplin county, of an 80-gallon illicit distillery owned by ' Pat Stewart, who was arrested, as was also F. B. Hammond, his assistant. .... It was a negro man who brought the news here that Orange Page was near Pine Level, Johnston county. He said Page had been working on a farm for about ten days. Two deputies immedi ately went after Page and the sheriff himself left early this morning. Vari ous rumors, all exciting, were in circu lation this morning, one being that Page had been killed, and a deputy wounded, uul upuu iiiveBugation no trutn couia do found in them. ' '' The tennis championship games be tween Richmond college and University of North Carolina were played yesterday, and were all easily won by the later. The players were Jones and Harrison for Richmond and Bridgers and Bryan f r the university. Though Harrison played a good game, the Richmond men were badly outclassed in both the doubles and singles. The University of North Caro lina team claims the Southern champion ship. Your correspondent is quite positively assured that Vice President Stevenson will attend the battle ground celebration at old Guilford Court House July 4th. Orders are in press for the encampment uf the Third and Fourth regiments near Morehead City, July 10 to 19, both days inclusive. The name officially given is Camp Vance. Gen. John W. Cot ten will be in command. 7 Returning from Cbapel Hill early this morning your correspondent, though half dead with fatigue, listened with much interest to the account by Mr John C. Scarborough of his trip to Sharpsburg. He found that the Confederate dead from that battle ground, that is 2,700 of them, are buried at Hagerstown, seven miles away; that the cemetery is beautifully kept, and a handsome monument marks the spot. Mr. Scarborough went on to speak of the workdone by the fifteen North Carolina commissioners present, who were most ably aided by Gen. Harry Heath, United States commissionr. The postiona. of all the regimenta in Robert Ransom's brigade were accurately lo cated, as was also that of the Sixth regi ment of Lane's brigade, and that of CoL Bennett, the Forty-seventh in "the bloody ane." Reilley's battery and the Twenty-seventh and Forty-eighth of George B. Anderson's brigade are all properly marked. Mr. J. M. Monie carefully located the position of the First North Carolina cavalry, as a special rep resentative of that organization. The Bank Scrip Jfot Money. Washington, June 7. Commissioner Miller said to-day that the defeat of the Brawley bill, to relieve certain South ern eorpoyatioas from penalties Incurred in the issue of scrip or so-called money certificates during the financial strengency last summer and fall, would not result disastrously to any one or to the Government. The Attorney General had rendered an opinion last fall, on samples of alleged money submitted to him, that they were not subject to tax and on that state of the case all efforts on the part of the internal revenue officers to collect the tax or ascertain how ipuch so-cauea money ceracatej er scrip had "been iaaaad oease. No such alleged money was now in use any where.
