Washington, June 19. When the Tariff bill came up Senator Sherman called attention to a discrepancy be tween paragraphs 21 and 48. Paragraph 21 makes the duty on ink and ink pow ders anil printers' ink 20 per cent., and paragraph 48 makes the duty on the pigments from which the ink is made 25 per cent. x ' - Senator Vest recognized the dis crepancy, and agreed to have the duty on ink 'made 25 per cent., and that was dojjc. Senator Allison moved to go back to paragraph 190 (making the duty on buck wheat, con . ". 15 per cent, ad va lorem) and u, . e out the proviso that these products shall be admitted free of duty from ary country which imposes no import duty on the like product when exported from the United States. Senator Jones atrreed to the motion, and the proviso was stricken out. A new paragraph (19&J) was also inserted on motion of Senator Allison: "Eggs, 3 cents a dozen." Paragraph 308, as to parchment papers, which was reserved yesterday , was taken up and Senator Jones moved to strike out the paragraph and to insert a new paragraph making the duty . n parch ment papers dO per cent, ad y lorem, and on lithographic and photogiaphic prints 40, 80, 2 , 8. 6 and 5 cents a pound in proportion to weight, size ana thick ness agreed to. At 12 o clock the free list was taken up. jno action was taken on tne para graph as to when it is to take ettect, that question being left open. The para graph embracing beef, mutton, pork, bacon and hams was stricken from the free list and they became dutiable at 20 per cent, upon Senator Peff er's motion. .Paragraph 4iu (dooks, engravings, etc) was found to be unsatisfactory to both sides of the Senate, and was, by 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 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 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 free 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 listsSenators 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 f inance committee m-t a ue feat. Two Democrats, Senators Hill and Morgan, and four Populists, Senators Allen, Kyle, Peffer and Stewart, voted for the motion to strike out. The result caused some excitement on the floor and in the galleries, and there was even a slight effort at applause. On a motion oi oenaior jrerjuua quicksilver was placed on the dutiable list at 7 cents a pounu. A few more paragraphs on tne iree list were disposed off, and when salt was reached (60S) the Dill was iaia asiue anu the Senate, after a short executive ses sion, at 6:25 o'clock adjourned until to morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. In the House in the absence of Speaker Crisp, Representative Bailey was ap pointed Speaker pro tern. in Jersey City nee t 19 Stocks and Bonds in New York Grain and Provision Markets -in Chlcaffo. New York, June 19. There was a further slight falling off in business at the Stock Exchange again to-day and trading throughout was sluggish. The only feature of the day's work was heaviness of securities of bankrupt roads. These were freely press 3d for sale and a number of stocks now in the hands of the receivers made new low re cords. The assessment exacted from New York and New England holders and the announcement that the Atchison stockholders - will have to contribute about $12 per share, has frightened owners of Union Pacific,Northern Pacific, Beading and Erie, and considerable long stock came out to-day. In the case of Union Pacific it was said that it would need an assessment of at least $20, to put the property in good shape. Union Pacific fell from 12i to 9, Erie from lo to 12, Atchison from 7 to 6, Reading 16i to lSi and Northern Pacific, preferred, 15 to 13. The-sreneral market held hrm dur ing the early trading, the Grangers be ing notably ttrong. St. Paul rose to 60i and Burlington and Quincy to 78. The Industrials at this time were in demand, especially Sugar, Chicago Gas and United States Cordage preferred. Sugar ad vanced to 99, Chicago Gas to 79J and United States Cordage, preferred, H to 41. The rise in the last named was stimulated by rumors that the company had acquired control of the Pierson Cordage company, of Boston. In the afternoon the depression in the bank rupt stocks had an adverse influence on the general list and a decline of i to 1 per cent, took place. Just near the close there was a rally of i to i per cent and the list left off firmer. In the inactive stocks Adams Express sold up 10 per cent, to 150 from the last reported sale. Net changes in the active list show losses of i to 2 per cent. , Union Pacific lead ing. After the close of business the lead ing bank presidents of the city held a conference to discuss the advisability of furnishing gold needed for export. The sentiment is that the bankers will adopt this policy and in the future will provide exoorters with the metal. The bond market was lower. The sales of listed stocks aggregated 96,000 shares; unlisted, 16,000. Chicago, June 19. The boom was out of wheat to-day and prices were almost as weak as they were strong yesterday. They did not break as quickly nor with such nervous excitement as they dis played when advancing, but melted away gradually under' the pressure of long wheat that did not all come out at once. Yesterday's enthusiastic buyers were cautious sellers to-day and the sea board let go of immense quantities throughout the session. New ork led yesterday in strength; to-day it was the weakest market. There was some chang ing from July into September, with a re sultant widening of the difference be tween the two options. July opened at from 60i to 601c, sold down to 58c, re covered and sold back to 59ic. where it closed, with a loss of If c from 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. There was not as much decline however, as would have been, comparatively speaking, had it not been for a good cash demand which held prices from breaking seriously. July corn opened from 41f to 41ic, de clined to 40c, rallied to 4 lie, where it closed, a fraction under yesterday. Cash corn was firm, pnees not showing much chanare. j . Large commission houses were the best buvers of oats to-dav. The theory was that the buying: represented the sea board demand as well as local orders, the former nrincioallv. The tone of the market was strong, with the J une deliv ery the star option. The other futures were hiarher from svnioathy. Some of the late longs were the sellers to day. June closed lie higher than yesterday, July ic. Cash oats were strong, prices closiner 1 to lie higher than yesterday Provisions were easy, with a moderate amount of trading. The tone was formed from the combined effects of a lower hog market and decling, prices for wheat, the latter having but an indirect influence The close was almost at the inside quo tations for the day. July pork showed a loss of 7ic from yesterday, July lard 7ic and July ribs 5c. A CATHEDRAL GHURGH.

Mr. Coombs, Democratic, of New York, was the first speaker in opposition to the bill- He said the depressed con dition of things, especially in the agri cultural interests, which the bill was in tended to cure, was not peculiar to the United States. The whole world was suffering from the same trouble and it is believed the United States was the most prosperous country on the globe. In an experience of forty years he had never known foreign markets to be so depressed as they are now. This bill would not bring prosperity to the farmer, but was fraught with danger to the other inter ests of the country. . Mr. Sibley, Democrat.of Pennsyluania, advocated the bill.

It is reported that Sir Edward Malet, British Ambassador, has sent his resignationto his Govern ment in London, stating as the reason for bis wish to retire that it is impos sible for him to longer successfully rep resent the interests of England at the court of the Kaiser, since, owing to re- Rfint acts of the British Cabinet, the con fidence of the Emperor has been lost, It is S3 id that the Kaiser has bitterly re- -rftched the British Cabinet for taking unfair advantage of his straightforward ness in dealing with England and also accused Sir Edward Malet with haying countenanced the English Cabinet's plic ity. Sir Edward, it is asserted, pro tested to the Kaiser against the accussa tion, declaring that he was as much sur prised as the Kaiser. The Emperor then, according to report, informed Sir Edward that England could thank her self if henceforth he should reverse the friendly policy of Germany and return to Prince Bismarck's distrust of every thing English. a t Weather Crop Report To Hold Teachers' Institutes Penitentiary Matters V Cherolcee Indian in the Penitentiary Wake Forest Items Raleigh and Durham Serenade Each Other by Telephone. Messenger Bureau, ) Raleigh, June 19. ) The weekly weather crop report issued yesterday 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 sufiesaag-greatly from drought. Itrig tod dry to plant yeas in stubble land. the wheat harvest is 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 uttie or no complaint of grass. 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 fund. 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 past twelve months there has been very little railway building. - 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 all leged ill treatment of Mecklenburg coun ty's convicts that the system of discipline was the same as that m the penitentiary. He says this is not the fact. Witnesses testified in Mecklinburg that the con victs were given fifty or'seyenty-five lashes. This is not the casein the peni tentiary. Kev. 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." Your 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. The diocese has bought the residence of the late Bishop Lyman for use as 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. The salaries of the Wake Forest fac ulty have been reduced 10 per cent. Resolutions were adopted by the Alumni association endorsing President Taylor's articles in opposition to appropriations to the university. Superintendent Scar borough spoke in opposition to these resolutions. - They were modified. Six teen hundred dollars will be expended this summer on waterworks at the col lege. The colored newspaper here says that its opposition to the circular issued by Chairman Eaves last week was because he had no right to issue and sign it un less a meeting of the executive commit tee was held and that there was no such meeting. Mr. William E. Pell, a grandson of the late Rev. Dr. William E. Pell, died here to-day of consumption. "He was only 21 years of age. There were only a dozen people on the Teachers' assembly special train which passed here early this morning on the way to Morehead City. The trustees of the Agricultural and Machamcal college spent most of to day there. Mr. Fab H. Busbee delivered the address betore the students, in lieu of Congressman Hatch. This morning a full-blooded Cherakee Indian, Esaiah, was brought from Swain GOLD EXPORTS. Presidents of New York Banks Dis ease a Proposition to Furnish the Gold for Export The Treasury Gold. Reserve Very Ijow. - New York, June 19. The Presidents of all the leading banks of New York met at the Union Trust company at 3 o'clock this afternoon to discuss the questiomof supplying gold for export. The treasury gold has run down to $66, 984,446, the lowest point since the bond sale. The banks have about concluded to come to the aid of the Government in the matter. Among those present were President Williams of the Chemical, King of the Union Trust, Wright of the Park Na tional, Tappen of the Gallatin, Ives of the Western National, Clark of the American Exchange, Carter of the Bank of the Republic, Fahnestock of the First National, SimmoDs of the Fourth Na tional. Baker of the Manhattan, Can non ef the Chase National, Sherman of the Bank of Commerce, and Perkins of the Bank of America. George G. Williams, president of the Chemical National bank, presided at the meeting. He took a serious view of the situation. He said that if the gold re serve in the treasury were allowed to fall too low to $50,000,000, for instance an alarm might be created whitsh would be followed by serious conse quences. He said many manufacturers were carrying on business at a loss, be lieving it would be cheaper in the end to do so than to shut down and lose trade. The proposition that the banks furnish gold pro rata to exporters was opposed and withdrawn. TARIFF TINKERING. Davis & Zoeller's SUGAR AND INCOME SCHED ULES TO BE ALTERED. The Hun's Cotton Keporf. New York. June 19. The Sun's cotton review says: Cotton advanced 4 points, lostthis and declined 1 point, recovered this and advanced 1 to 2 points, closing quiet. Liverpool advanced 2 points, but lost about i and closed steady, with sot 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 6,952 thus far last week. Spot cotton was quiet and unchanged at steady prices. Sales - were 600 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 examined 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 by 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's statement that it was Geo. Ransam, the Senator's son, who had speculated in stocks through his office. The Macon Club; Disbands. Macon, June 19. The Macon base ball club to-day forfeited its charter to President Nicholin. Small attendance and inability to pay salaries is the rea- ann. The indebtedness of the cluD is about $600. of which $450 is due players, Notwithstanding the players were noti fied of the forfeiture this morning, they played this afternoon's game to show thfir anm-eciation and high regard for Manager Hill, who has sacrificed per nnnal interests for them. The citizens will pay the players' fare home. r The South Carolina Campaign. ncriBT.wsTOV. S. C June 19. The sec a mwtinfr nf the campaign was held at Yorkville to-day.

It is his second term. He served the first term for having with a pistol shot and killed a cow in order that he might get the bell which was on her neck. Forty-five convicts were to-day sent to the three State farms near Weldon. There are now 1,100 on these farms. The convicts in the penitentiary are making brick very rapidly. About a half a mil lion are sold monthly. Mr. Cronly, of the Wilmington ana Weldon railway, arrived here to-day and laid before the Railway Commission the returns of the road's property for as sessment. ... A. W. Haywood, attorney for the road, appeared before the com mission and will probably make an argu ment in favor of a reduction of the rate of assessment of side tracks. The latter are now assessed at the same rate as the main line. Mrs. William C. Upchurch of Kaleigh, is dead. Her family connection is ex ceedingly large. Her kmspeople in this county perhaps number l,uuu. The Durham band piayeu last nigni in its town for a Raleigh audience, which heard it by wire, and the Durham peo ple in the same way heard a itaieign mandolin club. Professor C. W.

A, joint meeting of the Howitzer battery and the Veteran Howitzer association was held this afternoon in the interest of the movement started by the former to erect a monument to the women of the South. Steps were taken looking to the appoint ment of a committee to report a plan of organization. Speeches were made by Mayor Ellyson ana Juage unrisuan, president of the Chamber of Commerce, endorsing the movement, but urging that the first duty was to erect the Davis monument, to which Richmond is pledged. Ordered to Open t he Mines. St. Louis, June 19. The receiver oi the Loomis Coal company, controlling the coal mines at Bevier, Mo., and other points, has been directed by the United States court, under whose orders he is acting, to resume work, at once, import ing non-union miners if necessary. In consequence the United States deputy marshals of this district are being con centrated at Beyier to preyent trouble when the mines are re-opened. Errors in the Wool Schedule to be Corrected Bad Condition of the Chicago Final Passage of the . Tariff Bill Deferred Low Figures of the Gold Re serve The President Returns. Washington. June 19. The , light house tender with President Cleveland on board, returned from her cruise down the lower Chesapeake bay and outside the capes at 6:30 o'clock this morning. The President remained on board until the White House carriage and Mr. Thur ber arrived, and was then driven to the Executive mansion, arriving there at 8:45 o'clock. He has been much bene fitted by the trip. " Secretary Herbert to-day makes public the findings in the case of the United States steamer Columbia, injured on her trial trip, the most important feature in the conclusions arrived at being that the speed at which the vessel was driven ought to have been slower, especially considering that the 317 tons of water she carried in her doable bottom at the time left a very small margin of safety. The communication is addressed to Capt. Sumner . and is dated June 18th. It closes by saying that in view of the courts recommendation that no further proceedings ba had the matter will be dropped with Capt. Sumner's acknowl edgement of the receipt of the report of findings. Admiral Erben has notified the Navy Department that he will be com pelled to remain at Antwerp for about two months in order to have urgent re pairs made on the boilers of the Chicago, costing about $10,000. Although the Chicago's boilers were over hauled about a year ago and were guaranteed for eighteen months, the chief engineer of the ship has discovered that they are in such dangerous condition that no fur ther use could be made of them without repairs. Admiral Erben will retire in the autumn, bringing the Chi cago home in the meantime, in order to haul down his flag at New York. The current Naval Appropriation bill con tains an item of $200,000 for commenc ing new boilers and engines for the Chicago, it being the intention to put the vessel out of commission in November for a two years' stay in a navy yard. Under these circumstances the depart ment considers it strange that Admiral Erben should be willing to spend so much money on repairing obsolete and con demned boilers abroad at this time. It is thought that the admiral must have been imposed upon as to the serious and immediate character of the defects by his subordinate officers.

Democrats, who up to this time have been sanguine of the speedy passage of the Tariff bill, have reached the conclu sion that the bill cannot pass before the end of the fiscal year and they axe now looking forward to the final vote about July 2nd, which is the first Monday in that month. This conclusion is Dasea upon rumors that have reached them that the Western and Northwestern Re publicans propose to make long com- paign speeches on the subject Great Bargains In Dry Goods, &c, at New York Cost.

WORTH LOOKING INTO, At no previous time in the history of American retailing have Dry Goods been sold at as low prices as now. The qualities, mind you, are the best, but the prices are away down to a point not dreamed of by the buyer of a couple of years ago. Of course, all dealers cannot meet this existing demand for low prices. It is the opportunity of the resourceful merchant. Capital to buy in quantities and capacity to handle goods to dispose of them in quantities, allow us to name prices that pos sess a marvellous fascination for the wisely economical. Do we speak the truth? Our crowded counters bear daily testimony. DAVIS & ZOELLER, The Leaders in Dry Goods, Cor. Front and Princess StsM Wilmington, N. C. Cleveland Endorsed. Savannah, Ga., June 19.

A member of the committee who has been active in the management of the bill declared this morning that he did not expect the bill to become a law and go into effect before August 1st, and said that Congress would hardly adjourn be fore the middle of that month. It has been practically decided that there is to be a further revolution of the sugar schedule. The sugar schedule, as it will finally be adopted, will place a duty of 40 per cent, ad valortm on raw sugars and $c additional on re fined and end there. The discriminat ing duty of l-10c against all countries paying an export oouniy on renntu sugars will be eliminated from the bill, as it is claimed that the 40 per cent, gives ample protection to the refiners to say nothing of the differential that is al lowed them. The suear schedule will also be further amended so as to make it go into effect when the other parts of the bill go into effect immediately "upon its passage. The committee has decided to amend the income tax feature of the bill in accord ance with the request of the thousands of petitions that have come to the Senate, and will omit from the operations of the income tax the funds of all fraternal and beneficial organizations and societies conducted on the lodge plan. By an inadvertence the paragraph of the Tariff bill relating to wool tops and rovings was permitted to go through the other dayiat 15 per cent., when it was intended to make this duty 25 per oentThis mistake will be rectified. Another change will also be made in the wool schedule.. As agreed to, the rate on the finished Droduct in men's clothing is fixed at 45 per cent, while the duty on cloth enter ing into the manufacture of the same 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 finished product to 50 per cent. The committee also formally decided to per mit the administrative act of June lu. 1890, to stand and this will cut from the bill forty-nine pages and remove a mat ter that would have caused much con tention in the course of the debate.
