SENATE. V; . j Hv-
Washington, Aug. 14 The . Senate
had early . ! ; : 1 notification Ntoday of
the passage 7. o House last evening of
four bills placing on the free list sugar,
bituminous coal, iron ore and barbed
wire.x As soon as the reading of yester
day's journal was finished a message,
announcing the passage of those bills and
making ho reference to the Tajiff bill,
was delivered by the chief clerk. Subse
quently the bills Were laid before the
Senate, one after another, were read a
first time and went over until to-morrow,
on an objection by Senator Manderson,
-Republican, of Nebraska, to tL ir second
reading. ;
Senator Vest indicated a desire to have
them taken up at once for consideration,
but that was prevented by Senator Man
derson's objection. !
In connection with these bills notice
wa3 given by Senator Hill that he would
offer an amendment to each of them re
pealing all provisibns of law in regard
to an income tax. . !
An objection to the third reading of
the House joint resolution, extending the
general appropriations to August 4th
was made by Senator Aldrich, and that
measure also went over till to-morrow.
Senator Call, in connection with a reso
lution offered by him last week as to
llnited States citizens held as political
prisoners in Cuba, presented and read a
letter from J. M. Numez, a prisoner in
theCarcel Real, near Santa Clara, Cuba,
soliciting his aid. : .
Senator Hale offered a resolution to
print 5,000 copies of the Tariff bill as
passed, "to be known as the Sugar Trust
Tariff bill." ;
Senator Cockrell-Let tnat lie over."
Senator Vest, in a bellicose tone
Is that the title of the bill, or does the
Senator give it that title himself?
Senator Hale Of course it is not the
regular title of the bill; but it is the title
which it will receive iri popular accept
ance. Public sentiment will settle that.
Senator Vest I question the right of
the Senator from Maiue to say what will
be the popular acceptance of the bill.
He has no right togive itsuch an appella
tion. It is an outrage on the Senate to
do it. j -
Senator Mills I move to lay the reso
lution on the table, and let us have the
yeas and nays upon it.
The Vice-President The present con
sideration of the resolution having been
objected to, it goes over under the rule.
It is not before the Senate for considera
tion at this time. ' . 7
Senator Chandler's resolution as t.j the
AlaJiania election was taken up, but was,
in the absence of Senator Morgan, laid
over till to morrow.
Then unanimous consent was asked by
Senator Chandler to take up for consid
eration the resolution heretbfore" offered
by him as to the Dominion Coal com
pany, but objection was made by Senator
Berry. " - i
' After an attempt to transact other
business, which failed for lack of a
quorum, the Senate, at .2:15 o'clock ad
journed till to-morrow. - ,
THE GOODMAN TRIAL.
The Defendant on tne Witness Stand
His Graphic Account of the
Killing or" Col. Parsons, j
Richmond, Va., Aug. 14. When Good
man,the Chesapeake and Ohio conductor,
charged with ihe murder of Col. H. C.
Parsons, went on the stand at Coyington
this morning there was a ripple of excite
ment in the court room and thej judge
warned the crowd to be in order. He
told his story in a simple, straightfor
ward manner and was the best witness
yet on the stand. He began by telling
when the Parsons letter was first put in
his possession. He took a day to con
sider.sought the advice of LawyerCrump,
and Mr. Crump wrote the replyto Parsons'
charges. On his way to Clifton ?orge he
did inquire- for Parsons. He arrived at
Clifton Forge and went to Gladys inn,
where he was accustomed to stop. He
took a toddy at night and asked, the bar
tender if Parsons had been along lately.
In answer to a question the witness
here said it was his habit as an officer to
carry a pistol wnile on duty, lie had a
pistol as usual when he retired. He
arose next morning and went down
stairs, putting his pistol -in bis pocket
The train would leave at 8:30 o'clock,
lie brought down stairs a small satchel
he always carried, put the satchel on the
hat rack went into the dining room and.
ordered breakfast. He heard some one
clear his throat in the lobby, looked and
saw a man, he took to be Parsons. H
asked the head waiter, who said it was
Parsons. Witness said he would go out
and see the colonel; went and saw Par
sons at the partition in the; lobby
Witness took the satchel from the
hat rack, ,went into the read
ing room an4 took a copy of Parsons
letter from the satcLel and retired to the
lobby. Parsons was then standing with
his back to the fire place. The witness
walked up to hjm, but Parsons did not
seem to see him, anu to attract nis atten
tion. he took the lapel of his coat and
saidr "Come out to the front." Just
before we got to the door, I said: "Are
you the author of this ruinous letter, not
only calcinated to rum me, out; io ue-
strov the peace of my family?''
When they got to the door :both step-
p:d oh the porcn ana lacea eacn otner.
ParsoC heiu tn;? eiter iipu looKea at it,
threw it on the Hoot tiUQ Baid: ,bir
you nor your family are considered"
P.-iisumHthen started in, but the wit
nut. his hand on him and said: "Y'ou
lLusi reiraci iiutt ima ,-
Parsons said: "What i" and at puce
threw his hand to his hip pocket ; witness
here left the chair and eave a graphic
description of Parsons' attnude and now
the shooting occurred ;
When Farsons tnrew ms nana Deniuu,
the witness pulled his pistol with the
riKht hand, and being ieit nanaea, nreu
with the left liana tour snots in rapia
succession. Alter uie iourti irasons
irrabbed with the right hand the left
hand of the witness, in wnicn was tne
pistol. He held it 6p firmly the witness
had to wrench the piatol from rarsons
grasp and the weapon was accidentally
discharged. The fif th shot, which Good
man says was accidental, took effect in
Parsons' head, producing the wound that
Dr. Miller pronounced the immediate
cause of death. 1
-In shooting ducks 6n the river it was
the habit of the witness to break" the
pistol and empty the shells, and in his
excitement, he involuntarily did the
same thing after shooting Parsons. He
did not snap the pistol at Parsons after
the pistol was empty,
He went to see Col. Bryant, the station
master and told him to get another man
to take out the train, as he had killed
Parsnna. He did not tell .Bryant:
collared Parsons and gave h jm all I had
Y7. two h YrAnt down town
AU,C1 DDO i,:lTli
In answer to a question, he said he en
quired for Parsons because he wanted to
see him and ask a retraction. If Parsons
would not grant it he intended to go
before the Rockbridge srrand jury and
have him indicted for criminal libel. He
had already consulted Mr. Crump as to a
civil suit for damages. He was informed
that a judgment against Parsons would
be worthless, but he wanted, not money,
but-vindication.
When the witness left the dining room
he had no other purpose than to. ask a
retraction and believed he would make
it. With much emotion the witness here
said.'x"I cannot explain the deep sorrow
I felt that he should try to destroy my
family relations, the sunshine of my
life." He thought Parsons would give
him satisfaction, and did not expect to
shoot, even after Parsons had thrown the
letter down. The idea of shooting first
came into his head when Parsons threw
his hand behind him. Witness then
thought he would be killed. He would
not have drawn the pistol but for this.
He stopped shooting as soohx as he saw
Parsons' right hand. The lastx shot was
accidental After the shooting he picked
up the letter wheVe Parsons had thrown
it. . X - "v . .
. He was then questioned! as "to the
charges in Parsons letter and said all
were false, the letter and its substance.
Goodman's eldest daughter, a very at
tractive girl of 17 years, was in court to
day for the first time.
The impression at Covington to-day is
that Goodman will be convicted of mur
der in the second degree and that his
I punishment will be fixed at" from five to
ten years in the penitentiary.
COMMERCIAL NEWS
Stocks and Bonds in New York The
Grain and Provision Markets
of Chicago.
New York, Aug. 14. London prices
for American securities received before
the opening of business showed decided
gains and created quite a bullish feeling
among local operators. As a result,
there was an advance in the active rail
way list ot i to ljf per cerft., while Dis
tillers jumped 2 per cent, to The
rise brought out long stock, especially in
the case of American Sugar, which fell
to 106f under heavy offerings for houses
with Washington connections. This
'rather dampened the ardor of the bulls
and led to the canceling of buymg
orders. For a time the course of prices
was uncertain and trading was limited
in volume. After- midday, however,
the market was enlivened by a
sudden break in Sugar to 104f on
light sales. One reason assigned
for the break is that one operator
in the room discovered stop-orders and
offered the stock down at a lively rate.
Reports from Washington that a , free
sugar bill would be passed by the Senate
favored the operator in question. Lead,
in sympathy, dropped 2 per cent, to 42
and" Whiskey . 2 to 211. In the after
noon trading sugar recovered to 107
and left off at 107$. The railway issues
in the afternoon developed greater
strength and, cutting aloof from the in
dustrials, made the best figures for a
long-time. This is especially true of
Louisville and Nashville, St. Paul, New
York Central, New Jersey Central, Union
Pacific, Atchison and Denver and Rio
Grande, preferred. The heaviness of
Sterling exchange, due to the more lib
eral offerings of bankers' bills against
Sterling loans, foreign purchases of
stocks and future shipments of grain and
cotton, had much to do with the under-
vmg strength of stocks. London was
again a buyer, takingjabout 20,000.shares
of stock. Net changes show gains of i
to If per cent, in the railway list and
losses of f to 11 per cent, in the Indus
trials, bales were 66i,ll) shares, in
cluding 204,835 listed.
Chicago, Aug. 14. There was such
unanimous disposition to sell wheat at
the opening to day that for a few nu
ments prices were in danger of collapse,
but the very fact of offerings so over
whelmingly large early was one of the
beet arguments for the lease with which
the market rallied and advanced later.
The large receipts, 842 cars, was the key
note to the tone at the start, some weak
ness also coming from the moderately
large Baltic and Indian shipments for
the week, 3,008,000 bushels. Almost in
stantly after the early orders were fidd
there was a complete turn in the senti
ment and from that until the close of the
session a strong undertone ruled. Most
of the strength came f rom corn, although
there were many kindly to wheat on ac
count of the large export sales at the
seaboard, 108 loads yesterday and 30 to
day, and on the ground that the passage
of the Tariff bill by Congress was likely
to" be followed by the President s ap
proval. ,
Corn-lhe Iowa State crop bulletin,
which was posted on the blackboard
to-day, called attention to the fact that
the rain's which are now quite generally
distributed throughout the West, were
too late to repair1 much of the damage
that had taken place in that State from
the drought. That was the leading fea
ture of the strength shown by corn to-day.
The country was again buying; so were
the shorts, and there was a revival of
faith generally, m the value -of corn.
At times the buying was vigorous and
the tone buoyant. September was the
strongest future, offerings in that month
being light and the demand from shorts,
who are apprehensive of manipulation,
quite urgent. There were showers pre
dicted for to-day and to-morrow for the
West, but they made, no impression on the
market. The irriwne Farmer estimated
the average condition of the corn crop
on August 1st at 75 indicating a yield
of something under 1,700,000 bushels,
but stated that it was not possible to
state what further loss had taken place
during he first ten days of the current
month, .the drought naying continued
much loneer. May corn opened from
51 to 5lc, advanced to 531c, closing at
o3i to 53s c, If to ifc higher than yester
day. September closed c higher than
yesterday, tjasn corn was m gqoq ae

ALMOST THE SAME AS NEQO
TIATED BY MR. BAYARD.

sions Made to China as to Immi- w
gration Senator Allen's Service
Pension Bill Adversely Re
portedThe National Bank
and. Treasury. Notes 7
Bill Siened.
WashingtonX Aug;. 14. The new
Chinese treaty, to the ratification of
which the Senate agreed yesterday with
out amendment, is practically the same
convention as that negotiated during:
President Cleveland's first administration
by Mr. Bayard, and whichNhe Senate at
that time so loaded, down with modifica
tions as to render it obnoxious to the
Chinese Government and causedxitsfail-
ure. The action of the Senate j-esterday
is, therefore, regarded by the Department
of State as a complete vindication of Mr,
Bayard's attempt to provide a fair basis
of understanding between this Govern
ment and the Chinese, and is taken-as
fairly indicative of the advanced stand
the American people have taken; on the
Mongolian question.
The important point about the treaty
is-that it takes the place of the one sided
exclusion laws adopted by Congress, and
in satisfying China, inaugurates abetter
feeling between the two interested coun
tries. While it avoids the sting of ex
clusion, it really accomplishes more se
clusion than existing laws, in that it se
cures the cordial co operation of China
to the end of absolutely prohibiting all
immigration of Chinese laborers for ten
years, and in the second artice gives the
United States Treasury Department au
thority to make restrictive resolutions
for the future, which will permantently
prevent undesirable immigration j and
pecihcally prohibits the naturalization
of Chinese. v
( The only clause of the treaty not con
tained in the Bayard draft and the one
that has aroused the greatest opposition
is the fifth article, in which the United
StatCB recognizes the right of China to
enforce laws similar to our own exclusion
acts against United States laborers in
China, and provides that the United
States shall furnish the Chinese Govern
ment reports giving the name, age, occu
pation and place of residence in China of
all American -citizens, including mission
aries, rne apparent oDiertion to tuese
provisions readily disappear when it is
known that this information has been
regularly furnished to the Chinese Gov
ernment for many years; it being j the
custom of Americans to register at lour
cbnsulates, and of consuls to furnish these
lists to the local authorities in order that
protection might be afforded such mis
sionaries and travelers in case of necessity.
When such lists are furnished the
Chinese authorities assume full responsi
bility for the satety of such persons.
Tjiere is nothing humiliating about this
registration, as all American travelers
well know. Under the Swiss laws an
alien can reside only a fortnight in the
country except in public hotels, with
Governmental permission, and the laws
of Germany and France are extremely
stringent in the same direction every
alien being under surveilanca continually
in those countries. 1.
It is a maxim of international law tnat
an alien is amenable to the laws of the
country in which he resides, and by the
present treaty the United States has, j by
apparent concessions to China, secured
that country's friendly assistance to the
enforcement ' of our Chinese exclusion
laws and to the protection of Americans
in China, without making a single prac
tical concessionThe fact that the Senate
agreed to the treaty without amendment
and by an overwhelming majority, in
dicates the confidence of that body that
the interests of 3 the United States are
fully protected.
The President has approved the act to
subject to State taxation national bank
notes and United btates treasury notes.

sJnator Walsh's Views on the Tariff.
Washington, Aug. 14. Senator
Patrick Walsh, of Georgia, said to a re
porter of the Southern Associated Press
to-day : I
j'The Senate bill is essentially a com
promise measure, it represents the best
that could be attained during the pres
ent session, and the attainable should
always be accepted by conservative men
in 'matters of legislation.. This bill is
such an improvement on the McKinley
law that there ought to' be no question
among tariff reformers as to its bene
ficial effects upon the business interests
of the country. "The Senate bill is a long
step in the direction of the removal of
protective duties. It is the beginning oi
the end of the fight for tariff
reform. It is a1cornpliance with
the spirit of the pledges of the
Democratic party and the. contest
will go on until the letter is also fulfilled.
No Democrat should fail to accept the
Senate bill as the very best thing in the
shape of tariff legislation that could be
obtained from the Senate as at present
constituted," with the partips so evenly
dividedinthe Senate. Democrats should
rejoice that eyen such substantial pro
gress should have been made in the re
duction of duties and the removal of
commercial restrictions. Had the Dem
ocrats been united, it was possible that
the t Republicans could have filibustered
indefinitely aud thus haye prevented
tariff legislation duung the present; ses
sion. . i
"In place of damning the Senate bill
with faint praise, and bringing it int
ridicule and contempt, the Democratic
press should use its influence to create
a just public opinion as to the real merits
oi tne senate uui. v ften properiy pre
sented as the best measure of tariff re
form attainable, the conservative scnti
ment of the country will settle down to
the conviction that very substantial
progress has been made in the direction
of real tariff reform and freer trade with
all the nations. I
f 'Those wb.o nave been denouncing tne
Senate bill as McKinleyism in a modi
fied form thould bear - in mind that it
was impossible for the Democratic ma
jority to do otnerwise tnan adopt a
compromise measure. Great reforms are
not accomplished in a day. Protection
has been in existence thirty-three years,
and it will take time to remove it. : The
tree has been lopped of its branches and
limbs. The trunk and the roots will be
cut down and uprooted before the ad
ministration of President Cleveland
draws to a close. The Democratic party
will go before the country on the record
it has made, and it is confidently be
lieved that it will be triumphantly en
dorsed by the popular verdict at the
polls in the elections this fall for mem
bers of Congress."
Determined Effort to be Made to Pre
vent Tbeir Passage by the seuate
Their Passage Improbable.
Washington, Aug. 14. There was
something of a flurry about the Senate
to-day during the earlier hours of the
session,; when the four separate -Tariff
bills came over from the House, for it
was reared that in some way action
might be forced and a showing of hands
compelled to be made. Especially was
true of the bill to put Bugar oh the
free nsts-JThere appears, however, to be
no hope! for any-ofJthese bilis to become
laws, as there is a disposition on the part
ui me itauera lo smotner tnem in com
mittee. The Sugar bQl of course pos
sesses the most political significance, and
it cannot be doubted but that there are
very many Democrats who would like
the opportunity to vote on the Question
of free sugar as an independent proposi
tion. 1
The Republicans can be depended upon
to do all they can to prevent the Demo
crats from carrying out any desire they
majr iinvc in mis uireeuon, ana taey
base their intention upon the statement
that it would be bad politics. One of
the leaders said to-night that the Repub
licans made free, sugar and gave the
growers a bounty and that the Demo
crats repealed that law. Now the Dem
ocrats wanted the Republicans to assist
tnem in putting sugar back - on the free
ist without the bounty. This the Repub
licans will riot do. ;j
It is believed that all these bills will be
sent to the Finance committee without
much trouble, thi3 being the usual course.
Should there be any effort on the part of
those anxious for free silver to attempt
to 'prevent this andx secure immediate
action, as Senator Vest suggested to-day,
tnen tne puis win oe called up one at a
time and made the basis for the forma
tion of another new Tariff bill.'
Senator Hill beeran that work to-dav
when he gav e notice of an amendment
providing for j the repeal of the income
tax. ' -7 .7, j i .
Senator Stewart is ready to!; lav before
the Senate a free coinage amendment for
each of the independent bills. , . .
senator Allen will offer as an amend
ment, the Peffer Tariff bill, and Senator
Aldrich will offer an amendment that
repeals the -nacting clause of the bills
which the House agreed yesterday. A
most determined tight will be com
menced, should there be any disposition
shown to treat these independent meas
ures with any degree, of seriousness, ii
in yiew oi the anxiety of members of
Congress to get away and secure the close
of all business, it does hot appear how
a quorum can be maintained to keep up
this sort: of thing, for the Republicans
would insist that the Democrats provide
the quorum with which x theKSenate
should do business. Already Senators
are preparing to leave N the city.
Senators: Teller and Dixon havinir
taken their departure. In the House
a number of members have gone and the
ririft lotion iq mulo in tVia Kanafii Kv Kfti
Democrats and Republicans that the end
of this week w ill find the Senate without
quorum. The only thing that now
keeps the Senate is the Sundry Civil bill
and the Tariff bill, which wilf reach the
President to morrow. With these two
things out of the way there would be no
reasori why an adjournment should not
follow, senators do not place much
faith iri the story that the House will re
fuse to adjourn until the Senate acts upon
the bwils-mentioned, but as Boon as mat
ters now; attracting the attention of the
Senate are out of the way the House will
be put to the test by the passage on the
part of the Senate of a joint resolution
providing for ; a time for adjournment,
sine die. Any attempt to frustrate an
adjournment means the inauguration of
a period of filibustering and the con
sumption of time by the Senate with the
inevitable result that nothing will be ac
complished.

Louisyille, Aug. 14. The passage of
the tariff bill caused wonderful activity
in the whiskey trade. For months the

remaining hour iu which the office of
collector of internal revenue was open
nearly 170,000 gallons of whiskey were

j Raleiqh, Aug. 14.
The August crop report, based on re
turns from oyer 1,200 correspondents,
was summarized to-day. It gives the
present condition of crops as follows:
Rice ttOi, corn 100S, cotton 94. tobacco
83J, field peas 93, sweet potatoes 91$,
peanuts 89, turnips 94, late cabbage 44,
late Irish potatoes 80. Apples are 21$,
peaches 15, grapes 83.
The reports of correspondents of the
weekly weather crop bulletin, issued by
the North Carolina State service, for the
week ending yesterday indicate that as
the season advances the condition of
crops is becoming more diversified. Yet
the prospects continue very fine. In the
southern and eastern part of the State
where there has been too much-rain the
land is drying out nicely.' The week was
generally very warm, with one of the
hottest days of the summer on the 9th.
Scattered showers occurred, chiefly in
the east. Since the beginning of the
publication of the crop bulletin in the
spring of 1885 there have never been so
few reports of " shedding cotton bolls.
Special reports concerning the hay crop
from all oyer the State indicate in gen
eral, first, that the early crop was info
rior in yield to the season of 1893. The
late frost and subsequent drought cut
the clover cropi short in the northern
parts of the Western and Central districts
of the State. The crop was saved in bet
ter condition than in 1893. Second, The
fall crop of meadow hay will be housed
early in September. Owing to generous
rains in August the condition of meadows
is now on the average very good, and
the prospects for the fall crop are that it
will be larger than for the preceding
year. The crop of corn and -fodder will
be large, and a very large crop of field
field peas have been sown for cutting in
the fall. Hay is not one of the princi
pal crops of North Carolina, but it is
probable that less than usual will be
brought iri from other States this year.
At the Egypt coal mines 100 men are
now at work. The output of coal is now
about 100 tonsdaily. It is to be in
creased to 400x tons, daily September 1st.
A grape arid blackberry grower here
tells me that With only one-third of a
crop this season he has netted $1,250 on
thirty acres. V
There are thirty entries of horses for
next week's races here. Some of those
are the finest trotters in the State.
Deputy Collectors W. F. Gibson and
Wiley Jones last night made a raid near
Holly Springs and captured a 45-gallon
illicit distillery, It is said to have be
longed . to a negro, who was not cap-'
tured. The still was , "loaded," that is
ready to make corn whiskey to-day.
One of the largest firms of brick work
contractors here says that more work is
now in progress in this city than at any
one time in the past five or six years. .
Governor Carr and family, accom
panied by Gen. Cameron and Private
Secretary Telfair and perhaps two or
three other officers, will leave here to
morrow afternoon for Southport. to see
the. naval reserves. Secretary Herbert
and Assistant Secretary McAdoo have
been specially invited to be at Southport.
If either goes there the Governor may
remain several days; if not, he and his
party will return here Friday.
There is but, little talk about the Dem
ocratic Congressional convention to be
held here to-morrowr. It is a foregone
conclusion that Charles M. Cooke will
get the nomination on the first ballot.
There is to be: a large gathering of
farmers at Rand's mill, in this county,
next Friday. Dr. H. B. Battle and Pro
fessor Wi F. Massey are expected to
speak there. A barbecue will be served.
Your correspondent has had a talk
with some of the leading Populists, with
a view of obtaining their ideas as to
fusion, the vote, etc., and 'here i3 what
the principal one said:
"Our State Executive committee meets
at Raleigh next Thursday, ft is hardly
probable that it will put tip any one in
Judge Connor's place. His . name will
be kept on the ticket. You will observe
that lie did not decline to be the nominee
on account of business reasons, but sim
ply said he could not be. Yes, some of
our people do not understand our plan of
putting in the field a non-partisan ticket.
'We get letters from some of those let us
say 'kickers. But we know we haye
done just the right thing. You ask as to
whether the Republicans will fuse with
us, co-operate with us, vote with us. I
do not think they will put up any ticket.
All I haye to say is that there will be a
great many votes cast for our ticket.
For that one ticket those who are opposed
to Democracy will vote. As a rule, only
one ticket will be. put up. You ask as
to the colored yote. We will get a lot of
colored votes whether there, is fusion or
not. The Republicans cannot hold the
colored votes as against the Democrats.
I estimate the fusion majority at 50,000.
Not over 30,000 votes can be counted out,
so that will leave us 20,000."
Politics in Tennessee.
NASHViLLE.Tenn. ,; Aug. 14. The Demo
cratic State convention will meet here
to-morrow to nominate a candidate for
Governor. There is no opposition to the
re-nomination of Governor Peter Turney,
which will doubtless be made by acclama
tion. There is much division among
Tennessee Democrats on the silver
question, but the disposition among the
delegates who have ;SO far arrived is
towards compromise rather tban contention.-
This makes it probable that the
financial plank in the platform will de
Clare for the coinage of both gold and
silver at such a ratio as will preserve
the parity of the two metals.or some other
indefinite phrase that both factions can
claim as an expression of their views.
The Democratic majority in the recent Su
preme court judge' election over the
Republican" and Populists' fusion was
only about 16,000 and the Republicans
claim that they could have won if their
forces had been thoroughly aroused
sThey will make a determined effort to
elect the Populist nominee for Governor
iry November and this state of affairs has
awakened the Democrats to the ne
cessity of preserving party harmony, v
