A resolution offered terday by Sep. ator Sherman, demand an inquiry into of the seats, Pullman sleep- the charges for the berths and sections in iDg and parlor cars, wi aid before the Senate and agreed to. The House bill to de e and establish the units of electrical asure was taken from the calendar an assed, with some verbal amendments At 10:30 o'clock j.ann: Din was being on section taken up, the questi 104, abrogating the ciprocity treaties.

The discussion as to the abrogation of the reciprocity arrangements twas . re sumed and M as participated in by Sena tors Allison and Sherman in opposion to the sectionand by Senator Vest in de fence and pxplanation of it. One of the points made by him was that the abso lute repeal of section 3 of the McKinley act was td take away from the President in futuri all authority which he pos sessed unfler that section. Senattf Higgins Is it the Senator's proposition that in future the power to make jrtciprocal conventions will be left to' the treaty-making power, the President and Senate, and taken from the President alone? Senior Vest That is the object. Senator Vest's modification was agreed to without division. Section 104 now repeals the third sec tion of the McKinley act and provides that ' Nothing herein contained shall be held to abrogate or in any way affect such reciprocal commercial arrange ments as have been heretofore made and now exist between the United States and foreign countries, except where such ar rangements lare inconsistent with the provisions of this act." A communication from the Secretary of State, informing the Senate, at tbe request of the French Ambassador, that a religious seryice in memory of the late President of the French republic would be held at St. Matthews church, Wash- ington, next Sunday at la o'clock m., was laid before the Senate and it was re solved, on motion of Senator Hoar, that the Senate shall attend such religious service. ' The Senate resumed considering of the Tariff bill and Senator Peffer moved to insert an additional section levying a duty of $50 on every foreigner coming by steam or sail vessel to any port witnin the United States and on every alien im migrant crossing the border line between the United States and contiguous nations. Senator Piatt suggested the insertion of the words "to engage in any indus trial occupation" and Senator Peffer ac cepted the suggestion. Senator Harris arose to move to lay Senator Peffer's amendment on the table, but instead he moved to lay the Senator from Kansas on the table. Senator Peffer gazed over at Senator Harris with an air of mingled wonder and reproach, and the galleries broke out into laughter, in which the Senators joined them. The. Vice President, How ever; put the question in the correct form and the motion was carried. The last section, of the bill, repealing all laws and parts of laws inconsistent with it. was then agreed to thus nnish- ing the bill in Committee of, the Whole, except as to matters that had been re served. - All the committee amendments having been disposed of, Senator Hoar -appealed to- the Finance committee to aamit a paragraph putting a duty of 10 per cent, ad valorem on sea moss, or Iceland moss. He asked it in the interest of a few meri torious and hard working men on the coast of Massachusetts, Senator Harris joined in the appeal and Senator Jones, on behalf of the Finance committee, said that he could not resist the united appeal, and the paragraph was therefore inserted. many :otner amenumeuu wtro sug gested by various Senators, but they went over to oe onerea in me oeuaie. The bill was then reported irom tne Committee of the Whole to the Senate and it was ordered that the bill and amendments be printed.

Parsons Shot and Killed by Conductor Goodman of the Rich mond aud Alleghany Railroad. Clifton Forge, June 29. Col. H. C. Parsons was shot in the lobby of Gladys inn this morning at 5 o'clock. The shoot ing was done by Thomas A. Goodman, a passenger conductor on the Richmond and Allegheny railroad. He never spoke after-being shot and died at 6:15 o'clock, Four! baUs from a double-action Smith & Wesson, Centered the body. One ball entered just under the right collar bone, one on the right and one on the left side of the abdomen, and one the left side of the head. Dr. W. A. F. Miller, railway surgeon, was summoned ' but could ren der no aid. After discharging his pistol, Conduc tor Goodman went before W. W. Davis, mayor of Clifton Forge, and gave up his pistol, remarking that when the public had become mtormed or all the circum stances connected with- the affair he would be justified by them for the kill ing Ho wired a message to Col. Beverly Crump, Richmond, his attorney, direct ing him to procure and take charge of a certain important letter bearing upon the case, which, it is alleged, (Joi. Par sons had written to General Manager Stevens, of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, seriously reflecting upon his official conduct and character. Richmond, Va., June 29. Capt. Thos, A. Goodman, the slayer of Col. H. C. .rarsons, wno resides mtnis city, is spoken of in the highest terms by his fel low employes. He is a man between 40 and 45 years of age, and has been con nected with railroads ever since' he has been grown. He is a married man, and bis family consisting of a wife and two bovs is now summering at Alton, Va, The following statements, made, by a railroad man who has been intimately acquainted with Goodman for the last fifteen years, and to whom txoodman often went with his troubles, are published in an afternoon paper: "Goodman's mind is evidently unset tled bv what he considers persecution from certain individuals in the Order of Railway Conductors and alleged efforts made by Col. Parsons to get him off the road. The trouble with Parsons, it is said, grew out of Goodman s insisting that Mrs. Parsons should show a pass when she traveled on Goodman s tram, Parsons wrote various letters to the com pany, it is claimed, which they turned over to Goodman, asking him toexplain. In one of the letters it is said that when ever Mrs. Parsons and her guests wished to travel over the line they would tele graph to know who the conductor was. so as to ascertain how to arrange about tickets. Parsons is said to have written in another letter that Goodman was so honest that he was a bore." Capt. Goodman also received anony mous letters, and after a while believed that his enemies among the railroad men and Col. Parsons were persecuting him, A few days ago the correspondence was shown by Capt. Goodman to a friend of his, with the statement that when he met Parsons he would make him retract what he had written or thrash him. The friend told Capt Goodman he was crazy and not to trouble himself about the mat ter, as he could refute all charges made. FELL INTO BOILING SOAP. Fatal Accident to a Liiltle Son of Mr. Jno. P.

GOVERNMENT- FINANCES: TRYING TO. KESP THE DEFI CIT BELOW $75,000,000. All Payments, Unless Absolutely Es sential, Deferred No Bonds to be Issued this Summer Senator Walsh Anxious to Succeed Himself Bills Found, Against the Recalci trant Brokers. . Washington, June 29. The statement is made to-day from an authoritative source that no issue of bonds will be made by the administration during the summer; that the President and I Secre tary Carlisle are in thorough accord on the financial policy of the treasury, and that an end to gold exports to Europe is believed to be about reached. The ad ministration expects the new Tariff bill to go into effect by August 1st., and af ter that date increased revenues are looked for. . During July expenditures will probably exceed receipts by $15,- 000,000, which will reduce theavailable treasury balance to about $100,000,000. The present outlook is that by deferring everything but absolutely essential pay ments, the treasury deficit for the cur rent fiscal year which closes Saturday, June 30th, will be brought within $75, 000,000. Less than ten days ago it was estimated that it would reach $78,000, 000. I Senator Walsh issues an address to the people of Georgia, saying: "Having been appointed by Governor W. J. Northen to nil the vacancy in the Senate caused by the death of the beloved Hon. Alfred H. Colquitt, I announce myself as candidate for United States Senator for the term beginnine: March 4th, 1895. He closes his address by saying: ' "Great as is the honor of being a member of the United States Senate, I would not accept the office merely for the sake of the dis tinction. As a position for usefulness in promoting the welfare of Georgia, and in securing relief for the people from op pressive legislation and the exactions of unjust and burdensome taxation, a seat in the Senate affords an opportunity for the exercise of the highest wisdom and the most exalted patriotism. Should I be deemed worthy of this office by the people and Legislature of Geergia, I would consecrate every faculty of my mind and body to the service of my State and country." I he passage by the Senate and House of the joint resolution extending for thirty-days after the expiration of the fiscal year, to-morrow, all existing ap propriations, it is thought, removes the only formidable obstacle to the Presi dent's contemplated 4th of July outing. The President approved the resolution as soon as it reached him. A new source of demand for United States gold has developed in an order from Canada for $250,000 gold. This was taken out of the New York, sub-treasury to-day and sent North. j.a addition to the Canadian order, $1,225,000 was en gaged for shipment to Europe. With these shipments deducted the gold re serve stands at $64,828,815. . lhe Louisiana Senators are understood to be strongly antagonistic to the modifi cation of the sugar schedules that were made by the Democratic mem bers of the Finance committee yes tarday. This modification changes the time when the schedule hall go into effect from January 1st to the date of approva1 of the bill. It also continues a part of the bounty tor the present year, giving a bounty .9 of a cent a pound on sugar above 90, and .8 cent on sugar below 90 and above 80 polariscope. Another change is that authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury hot to impose an additional duty of .1 per cent, upon sugar imported from countries paying an export duty. The grand jury this afternoon brought into court indictments against Elberton R. Chapman, broker, of New York, and John W. Macartney, broker, of this city, two of the witnesses who ref used to answer the questions of the Senate com mittee. Some comment was caused by the failure to return any indictments against the newspaper men, Sh river and Hidwards, whu were the hrst witnesses certified by the Vice President to the grand jury, but it is understood that the Government expects to make the brokers' cases test cases, believing it has' a better chance for their successful prosecution than it would have in the cases of the newspaper men. . Bradstreet's Report. New York, June 29. BradstreeVs to morrow will say : v hue there is no actual improvement in business through out the country, there are more favorable prospects and better feeling among mer chants, with an increased number of in stances where trade has been stimulated. The ending of the great coal strike is promptly followed by a sympathetic strike of railway employes, which threat ens disastrous effects on business by rea son of interference with distribution and travel. - Other unfavorable features include a conference of Rhode Island cotton mill owners as to the advisability of shutting down; heavy arrivals of wool at Eastern markets, where stocks are already large;' delay in settling the coke strike, which prevents many industrial establishments from starting up; and ex tremely restricted volume of business among wholesale dealers in clothing at Baltimore, 4d per cent, of what it was m the first half of last year; delayed orders from country merchants in Georgia and South Carolina, where crop damage has been threatened, and a sharp restriction in the volume ofgeneral trade at Chicago. where the railroad strike centers. At New Orleans trade in all lines is smaller. At Nashville and Birmingha it is dull and without any sign of early improvement. There is an improved trade at Memphis, Jacksonville and Charleston, due pri marily to the effect of rain on the crops. Atlanta announces the volume of trade for June about equal to that in June last year, and that country merchants are ordering for future den very. There is more activity m nearly all lines of business at Augusta and the 'de mand for cotton is heavier. Continued improvement is reported from Galveston where collections are easier. Savannah Base Ball Club Riled. Savannah, June 29. The manage ment of the Savannah base ball club is riled at being fired from the league, and, unless something is done to soothe their injured feelings, promise to make it hot for tne league magnates, .a. representa tive of the club left to-day for Chatta nooga to confer with President Nicklin and, if possible effect a compromise.

Stocks and Bonds in New York Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. Chicago, June 29. The close on wheat to day was c higher than yesterday, but the tone throughout the entire session and until within a few minutes of the end of the day's trading was decidedly weak, and prices ruled to fc under Thursday's final figures. September wheat opened from 60 to 59 Jc, declined to 59Jc, recovered and advanced to 60fc, where it closed, with the gain above noted. Corn opened firm, the strength evi dently coming from yesterday's firm market, but the crowd speedily convinced themselves that there was nothing on which to theorize an advance. Prices became a little firmer late in the day in response to a similar feeling in wheat. September sold between 4lc and 41c, closing a fraction higher than yesterday. Cash corn was steady, prices showing no particular changei Oats had a yery bearish sentiment to contend with to-day. With everything el-e on the floor working downward, there was no hope for oats, in face of the reversal of the tenor of the crop re ports. July closed lc lower than yes terday, September ic lower. Provisions were weak to-day, losing most of the grain made yesterday. The speculative depression in other parts of the floor extended to private sales and prices suffered some. The hog market was steady, but it had no perceptible effect on provisions.- The close was 170 lower than yesterday for- September pork, 2c lower for September lard and 5 to TJC lower for ribs. But little inquiry was heard for cash product. New York, June' 29. The Pullman boycott, the engagement of $1,250,000 gold for shipment to Europe to-morrow, the poor. May statement of the Burling ton and Quincy and some selling for foreign account combined, brought about a lower range of prices at the Stock Exchange this morning. The loss outside of Denver and Rio Grande, pre ferred, which fell 1 per cent, was insig nificant, amounting to $ to per cent. Soon after the opening Whiskey loomed into! prominence and rose H per cent, on the announcement that the tax had been raised to $1.10 per gallon, the schedule to take effect immediately on the pas sage of the Tariff bill. American Sugar was vary erratic. It declined i per cent, to 99, then jumped to lOlf . During the afternoon it ranged between 100i and 101f and closed at 101, a net gain of 1 J per cent, for the day. The stock moved up and down according to the tenor of the advices from Washing ton. Chicago Gas declined from 73 to. 7&J and recovered to 78f to 78J. It is expected that Attorney General Malo ney's decree, with some modifications, providing for the separation, of the com panies composing the trust will be ap proved by Judge Windes to-day. The railway list, after the early decline, de veloped a little strength, especially near the close of business. Holders of stocks evidently believe that the strike is not as formidable as it appears on the surface and that a collapse is not far off. One thing is certain, that there is no pressure of long stock on the market and that the bears have been unable to .make any headway. The gold shipments, while disappointingly large, were said to be the last of an order sent earlier in the week when rates were considerably higher than tho3e ruling to-day. Not a sale of Lake Shore, New York Central, Big Four, Manhattan, St. Paul and Omaha, or Chesapeake and Ohio was re ported to-day. This is something un usual. In the specialties Long Island Traction dropped 1 1 per cent, to 12 J on heavy sales. Speculation closed firm with prices anywhere from i to 1J per cent, above yesterday's finals, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, Louisville and Nashville, Northwestern, Burlington and Quincy, General Electric and Lead to i per cent, on the day. Total sales were 88,000 shares. The bond . market was weak. The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, June 29. The Sun's cot ton reyiew says: Cotton declined 4 points, but recovered this and advanced 1 pcint, then reacted and closed steady at last night's prices, with sales of 78,200 bales. Liverpool declined 1-1 6d on the spot, and 2 points for future delivery, closing very steady for futures with the early decline recovered. Spot sales there were 10,000 bales. In Manchester yarns were in buyers' favor, cloths were dull. New Orleans declined 3 points, but rallied later and October advanced 1 point net. Port receipts were 1,327 bales, against 1,074 this -day last week; 4,479 last; wees and 4,os last year total for the week, 12,116 bales, against lz.oub last week, and 19,2247 for the same I week last year. Spot cotton was steady, with sales of 110 bales for export and 1,325 for shipping. One hundred bales were delivered on contract.. Southern markets were quiet and generally un changed. Mobile and Norfolk declined l-16c and St. Louis was easy. New Or leans sold 900 bales, Memphis 250. In terior receipts for the week were 1,718 bales, against 1,716 last week and 2,147 this week last year; shipments, 10.855, against 11,352 last week, and 19,733 last year, stocks, 73,399, against 79,939 last week, and 112,763 last year. To-day's feat ures were: First, the market moved downward to a moderate extent, owing to depression in Laverpool, rumors that continental mills were to run on short time, favorable crop reports, and foreign and domestic selling here. Then Liver pool recovered the early declined, aud local buying for short accounts caused a rally here.
