Senator Hill Makes Another Speech in Opposition to it Another In stalment of the Allen-Chandler Quarrel The Honse De votes the Day to Debating the Hatch Anti-Op- . ... . tion Bill. SENATE. Washington, June 21. At 10:40 o'clock the Tariff bill was taken up, the pending question being on the income tax sections, and Senator Hill addressed the Senate in opposition to the tax. He read hi3 speech from typewritten sheets, very slowly and in somewhat solemn tones and manner. Close attention was given to the speech on the Democratic sidc-of the Chamber, particularly by the two New Jersey Senators, McPheraon andjSmith, while the Republican Sena tQjs, with very few exceptions, seemed to take little or no interest in it. Among his most attentive listeners on the floor of the Senate ' e the t bree Ponulist Sen ators. Allen, i-- and Peffer. The gal leries contained a large audience. Sena tor Hill declined to allow interruDtions. stating his intention to take nart in the discussion of the various amendments. It took benator Hill lust two hours and Effi-3 toTf adbis 8P?ech clo8inS at 1:20 o cIock. It was well understood. he said in conclusion, that Senators in tended to vote on the income tax section, not accoraing to tneir convictions, but according to the decree of -a party cau cus. He trusted that such a humiliating spectacle would not be witnessed. It was even boasted by some, he said, that tne income tax was the best feature of the Tariff bill. If that were so. J;hen he could only say, in the emphatic language or cue senator irom new Jersey (Smith) God, help the Democratic party. The true statement of the case was that Pop- uiisuc votes were preierrea -to Demo cratic votes. He felt little personal in terest in the result. He was getting used to defeat in the Senate," and another de feat was a matter of supreme indiffer ence to him. But he would be false to his country, false to his party and false to himself if he did not raise his warning voice ana announce to his fellow Demo crats and to the country at large his con scientious and mature conviction on this important subject in such a great crisis of the country's and the party's history. benator Higgins, .republican, of Dela ware, followed with a speech against the income tax section. Another instalment of the Allen- Chandler Quarrel was here iniected into the debate. Fach of these gentlemen grows daily more bitter towards the other, on the floor of the Senate at least, and both passed the lie and "you're no gentleman" in parliamentary forms. An argument against the income tax by Senator Hoar followed. ine nrsc committee amenament was then agreed to (without a division) fixing the limit of the tax at January 1, 1900. Tne next committee amenament was to strike out of the House bill the words: 'Of every person residing in the United States or any citizen of the United States residing abroaa, aerivea in eacn pre ceding year," and . to insert in lieu of them the words, "received in the pre ceding calendar year by every citizen of the United states and every person re siding therein." After some colloquy the committee amendment was amended by making it read: "By every citizen of the United States whether residing at home or abroad, and every person re siding therein." Senator Peffer offered his amendment for a graduated income tax. Senator Harris moved to lay it upon the table and that motion was agreed to; yeas 45; nays 5. The negative votes were given by the three Populists Sen ators Allen, Kyle and Peffer, and by two Republicans Senators Mitchell of Ore- gon, ana leiier or. ioioraao. At this point two reports were made from the select committee investigating the connection of Senators with the Susar trust. The majority report certi fied the fact that Messrs. Havemeyer and Searle had refused to answer proper questions, and a minority report, by Senators Gray and Lindsay, certified the same fact as to Mr. Macartney, the stockbroker. A parliamentary controversy was started by a suggestion of Senator Hill, that the reports go oyer without action till to-morrow, while it was contended, cn the other hand, that the mere presen tation of the reports concluded tne mat ter and that the Vice President should ortifv the report to the district attorney, Nn mimer on tne bud ecv uau uwu maAo, when the Senate, at 640 o'clock, after a short executive session, adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Speaker Crisp being still unable to pre side over the House, Representative Bailey was again named to discharge the duties of the chair. After the transaction of some unim rrrtant business by unanimous consent, Mr. Hatch moved to eo into Committee of the Whole to consider the Anti-Option bill. Thf motion was aereed to. Much con fusion was occasioned over the efforts of various gentlemen to learn whether or not amendments to the bill could be of fered. Before yielding the chair, Speaker nrr tem. Bailey had refused to ruie on that Question, but Chairman Livingstone intimated his intention to admit amei m pt hn at anv time. Mr. Hatch protested that the commit tee could not change theterms of the (.rfipr ftcrppd to bv the House and Mr. r jpintrston refrained from making a rul- intriint.il Mr. Grosvenor. who had the uv,.- j - . . .

News was received here to-day of a double tragedy in Crawford county yesterday. Wert Dent, a merchant, and O. P. Wright, a lawyer, both of Roberts, had a difficulty m Dont'fl store.

Speculation in the Stock Exchange was quiet again to day and the attendance at the board smaller than usual, many brokers and operators having left the street at an early hour to witness the Suburban han dicap at Sheepshead Bay. The tendency of prices during the greater part of the day was downward, owing to the engage ment of 12,000,000 gold for shipment to Europe on Saturday and a belief that next week's exports would be heavy. The reduction in the Wells, Fargo & Co. semi-annual and the Mexican Northern quarterly dividends, and the passing altogether of the one due on the stock of the Old Colony Steamship company, fol lowing so closely after similar action by the New York, New Haven and Hartford and the Northern Central directors, dis couraged small holders, who made little resistance to the somewhat feeble attacks made by the bears. It also directed atten tion afresh to the probable, action of New York Central directors to-morrow. The consensus of opinion was that no change would be made in the Vanderbilt divi dend at this time, and the stocks cer tainly acted as if the usual distribution will be ordered. Atchison started off firm, and at first the reorganization plan was favorably received; later on. London sold the stock and local holders also ap peared sellers.

Fears of a stubborn fight over the Sugar sched ule in the House accounts for the selling of the stock. The bears also tried then hand at Missouri Pacific and forced it from 27 down to 26i, but at the close a rally to 26f ensued. Denver and Rio Grande, preferred, dropped from 2$ to 25. London sold a little of the stock. The first mortgages - were offered down 2 points . to 113, but there were no transactions in the gold fours. The interest on the lat ter is due July 1st.

Chicago, June 21. Two ups and one down is the record for wheat to-day. tit was a market to give the speculator ac tion enough to keep him guessing. At the opening there seemed to be no possi bility of checking the advance and the close was scarcely less strong, but the between-time-trade j:-wa8 decidedly dumpy. The strength at the start, like that of yesterday, came from across the water and it was assisted by the Cincin nati Price Currents summary, which gave a decidedly bullish statement of the 6pnng wheat condition, although re porting the winter wheat in a favorable position. During tha time intervening between tne opening and the closing a large amount of long wheat was brought out by the sentiment evolved from bear ish advices from St. Louis. July wheat opened 60 to 61c, sold between 61c and 59ic, closing at 60f c, a net gain of f c over yesterday. Cash wheat was quiet. rrices were aoout lc lower, closing nrm. There was a fair amount of Belling of long corn, induced by the weaker wheat and oats markets. July sold between 42fc and 42 to 42 Jc, closing at 43$ to 43c, a shade higher than yesterday. Cash corn was in good demand. Oats were far from being as strong to day as they were yesterday. The most urgent buyers and bidders for June, then, were the best sellers of July to day. The demand for June had ceased to-day and that option fell away for that reason, while the force of selling de pressed the July and distant deliveries. Plenty of new oats are looked for towards the end of July; consequently, shorts plucked up courage again. July closed lc under yesterday. June lost 2fc in price as the result of the day's trade. Cash oats were weaker and prices lower. 1'rovisions held nrm tnropgh tne en tire session and advanced materially near tne close, pork developmg the greatest amount of strength. Scalpers and packers displayed the most desire to buy. The hog market at the yards was stronger and its beneficial effect was communicated to product. vJuly pork closed 22c higher than yesterday, July lard 7i to 10c, and July ribs 15c. There was a better cash demand for product on domestic account. Ramapo Wins the Suburban. New York, June 21.

Hon. Thomas M. Holt, who has just retired from the gubernatorial chair of the State, and who makes a success in agriculture, as he does in everything he undertakes, grew on eighty acres of land on his Davidson'county farm over forty six bushels of wheat per acre, which excels any wheat crop of which I have any knowledge east of the Rocky mountains. In 1872, at the Vienna ex position, North Carolina exhibited the heaviest wheat in the world; one bushel weighed seventy-two pounds and one weighed seventy-three pounds. In sight of the Capitol of this State Capt. B. P. Williamson has produced on a field 42, 561 pounds of a mixture of clover, tall meadow oat grass and orchard grass hay per acre at his Fair View farm. Capt. Williamson is also raising horses that are a credit to any State or community and are very much sought after. Maj. R. S. Tucker, of this . place, also has a fine farm within a few miles of the city which he has well stocked with fine horses, cows, and a splendid herd of sheep. Mr. Banks Holt, of Alamance county, is also doing most excellent farming and raising fine horses, cows, sheep and hogs. Capt. W. L. Kennedy, of Lenoir county, has also a farm of which any one might be proud, and is growing fine stock of all kinds, as well as making a success with his crops. Mr. J. W. Wads worth, of Charlotte, is noted for not only a fine farm but farms near the city of Charlotte, and also for the heavy crops of grain and grasses he produces. Messrs. Mac Harrison of Rowan, and Barnard of Macon county, are doing most excellent farming as well as grow ing fane stock. Hon. Llias Uarr, our present Governor, has a farm (his home in Edgecombe county) that is a thing of beauty and excellence. Mr. if. Li. Man eum, near Wake Forest, in Wake, is one of the most successful as well as one of the neatest farmers in the State. He makes no specialties, but farms all crops most successfully. "Indeed, we couldj nol undertake to name all the men in the State who are making -a success at farming, and whose farms would be a good object-lesson to any one seeking information upon the subject of successful agriculture. Then there are the truckers in the east ern section of the State, who are a suc cessful class of men and whose crops are so enormous frequently that it would be hazardous to a person's reputa tion, especially where they were not well known, to give the amounts pro duced by them. What would the editor of the Advocate think of one truck farm producing in one year oyer $84,000? They claim to nave sold over ixw,uw worm in the spring of - 1892 in ' Eastern North Carolina.

The campaign meeting at Lancaster to day was not unaccompanied by some excitement, al though it was not as lively as had been expected in view of yesterday's occur rence at Chester. Senator Butler made a fine speech,defending his course in the Senate and expressing regret that he had been compelled to reply to Gov ernor Tillman's charges in the spirit he had employed at Chester. He in sisted that he would not permit any one to slander and misrepresent him, and that he would discuss and dissect Tillman's public record when and where and how he pleased.- He denied the charge that had been circulated in Lancaster county that he was an infidel. His speech made a good impression. When Governor Tillman was called he was received with much cheering. He said, in beginning, that office had not been sweet to him; that the wheels of the State had dragged along a slumpy road, and that the records would show he had done more work than all the Governors since the war. At Chester he had not opened his niouth in reply to the indig nities heaped upon him by Gen. Butler, which were fouler and blacker than had been made against any man. Yancy S. Hervard, who was out in the crowd, cried out: "You took them." JSeverai hundred men at once sprang to their feet in expectation of a row and Upvernor xuiman snoutea oacK in repiy: ""Yes, I tell you, you cowardly hound, why 1 took them, and ill meet you whenever you want to. l took tnem De- cause, I, as Governor of the State, could not afford to create a row at a public gathering and have our people murder each other like dogs." The men around the stand were all in commotion and yelling for Tillman, and the women in the audience began to run away. Tillman, Butler and the chairman and others called to the ladies to come back, as the trouble was, over and they did so. Tillman waived bis hands to the crowd to sit down and then cried out "A few puppies around here can have their tails or necks cut off if they want to, or both." Gigantic Railroad Consolidation. Atlanta. Ga., June 21. It is reported here that a gigantic consolidation of railroad interests in the South in con templated. The new company, it is stated, will comprise the Richmond and Danville, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and the Cincinnati South ern systems. The Central Railroad of Georgia is already practically under, the control of the newly organized Richmond and Danville system and the Georgia and Atlantic and West Point roads, while seemingly under independent man agement, are really controlled through the Georgia Central and Louisville and Nashville roads. This will leave but three roads of the ten entering Atlanta outside of the Southern Railway com pany. : The tune fixed for the consolida tion is shortly before October 1st. A bl l I tK.uUNrLlh 1 , BETWEEN ARCHITECT CLARK AND A HOUSE COMMITTEE. Mr. Clark:' Resignation Called for and Refused Charges to be Pre- ferred Against Him A Salva dorian Refugee on the Ben nington Returns to La Liibertad Correspond ents Not Indicted. Washington, June 21. In conse quence of bitter differences of opinion between Mr, Walker, of Massachusetts, and other members of the House Com mittee on Acoustics and Ventilation, and Mr. Edward Clark, who has been the architect of the Capitol for nearly thirty years, on the subject of the defective ventilation of the House, Mr. Clark's resignation has been asked for by Mr. Shell of South .Carolina, the chairman, and Mr. Durburrow of Illinois, a mem ber of the committee, and refused. The matter will be brought up in the House, with a probability of charges being pre ferred against Architect Clark in con nection with the administration of his office. ; v The grand jury again adjourned to day without announcing the indictment of the newspaper men, Messrs. Shriver and Edwards. The officials in the dis trict attorney's office, who for two weeks past have been saying something would develop in a couple of days, now refuse to talk about the matter. Secretary Herbert, received a cable gram from Commander Thomas, of the Bennington, announcing that one of the refugees on his vessel, having complied with the requirements of the Navy De partment, had landed at LaLibertad. The man who has thus given himself up to the tender mercies . of the victorious revolutionists is a native of the United States named Jefferies. who served as an -aid with the title of general to Ezata in tne recently terminated conflict in Sal vador. It appears that he had received assurances from the new Government that he would not be molested if he came ashore, and he requested permission from Commander Thomas to leave the ship. On Monday the commander cabled the request to Secietary Herbert and, after the matter had been given full consideration by the proper officials, on Tuesday last a cable gram was sent to Commander Thomas authorizing him to release Jefferies, "upon his written request" Jefferies is said to be a reckless fellow with a very large following of friends in Salvador, and it would not be surprising to officials here if he became quite as prominent in the new Government as he was in the old one. It is thought that the revolu tionists would summarily dispose of Gen. Ezata if he surrendered, but that no harm would happen to any of . the other refu gees. The United States will, however, run no risks in the matter, and none of them will be permitted to leave the Ben nington except on their written requests, thus releasing this Government of all re sponsibility in their affairs. This has long been the settled policy of the United States and there will be no deviation from it. - 500,000 boxes Japanese Pile Cure were sold in 1893 in the United States.
