The moderator ordered the roll called, and the minutes were then read and adopted. The stated clerk. Dr. Wilson, is quite ill and is confined to his room. Rev. Dr. Vance, of Asheville, offered a report on the Assembly .home and school at Fredericksburg, Va. A matter of great im portance is involved in this report. The school has entered into a contract with the pity of Fredericksburg in consideration Of ihe payment of iy,00o to furriish ten per petual scholarships, to be given to worthy pupils of the public schools of the cny. a special act of the Legislature of Virginia permitted this action. The presbytery of St. Louis, by overture, objects to this contract on the ground that it is the sacrifice of a time honored principle of the Church which forbids the acceptance of any aid from any State forthe maintenance of its work. After some debate upon the question, the consider ationof the report was made the special order for 3 o'clock this afternoon. - The committee on publication rpported through its chairman. Kev. W- H. Leavel, D. D.. of Houston, Texas, that it .was the unanimous opinion of the joint committees of publication and education -that it is not pxpedien't to' consolidate these forms at this time adopted The consideration of the election of the secretaries of home mission, education, pub lication and colored evangelization, with the reports on these causes, wrfs docketed. l)r Hemphill made several reports from the committee on bills and overtures. The following message was received from the Northern general assembly: "Saratoga, N. Y., May 25,1SHG.

John L.

The motion to docket the whole matter pre vented this action, which may be taken up later in the session. The committee on bills and overtures brought in several reports on the overtures placed in their hands. Ona from the pres by terv of Florida, asking if it be regular for a session to be moderated by other than a minister, the pastor being absent, was an swered in the athrmative Another asking as to whether on elder can ever constitute; a session, there bi-ing for ar y reason, nut the one, was answered in the negative. There was a division of opinion oa this ma'ter and it went to the docket. Overtures touching the licensure question were also answered in the negative by the assembly. l)r Smith, of the committee on foreign misM eis, rendered a lon repart which was docketed. " I)r Hitnav. of the commitfe on the liible, submitted a report as to Dr McLean's ad- ress on that cause, whicn was aaoptea. Dr. Morton submitted a report oiy sys tematic beneficence, which shows that of 70 ore-byteries !7 only report in which are 2 771 conures;ations, of which 308 give to all the assembly s causes, and '55b to none or them. .The sum paid to pastors is fb'J4,92"; to foreign-missions 93,0b2; and to" home missions 23,102. " The assembly then took recess to 3 o'clock p. m. At 3 o'clock art exciting discussion on the as-emblv's home and school at Fredericks burg, Va., was begun, which consumed the entire afternoon session. It was finally de cided to approve the management of the school and commend it heartily to the peo ple of the Church The discussion was all o,n the point as to whether it was in accordance with Presbyterian principles to enter into a contract with the city of Fredericksburg whereby in consideration of 10,0110 the school establishes ten perpetual scholar ships. The whole question of State aid to the Church was ably and fully discussed and the assembly finally decided by about a two-thirds yote-that the school had not Violated any of the principles of the Church in makine the contract. The discussioa was heated at times. A splendid speech was made by Dr. Woodrow, in oppostion to the report and a strong sentiment at one time , prevailed against it,. The assembly adjourned at 0 o'clock p. m. to meet at o clock to-morrow morning. A lii.ntisi.me Craft.

Detroit, Mich., May 26 The cyclone which devastated the northern portion of Oakland connty last evening swept a path a half mile wide and sixteen miles long, from west to east, clearing thearth of nearly everything movable. About forty persona were tilled outright and fully that number were injured, some of whom will die. The cyclone hrst struck earth six miles iwestof Ortonville and passed half mile north 6i that village. In the six miles of devas tated country before Ortonville was reached 15 persons were killed and 20 injured, some fatally. At the Mitchell homestead not a trace of house and farm buildings remain but the foundations. There is nothing but foundations to show where the home of Abram uick stood. Six of the occupants of the house were killed, and one eeriously injured. Prescott Wilkins, one of those killed in the Quick home, had readied there on a visit but an hour before the cyclone tore its way through. The home of John .Milkie, on a line with, Ortonville, was un harmed, bnt his barns were wiped out. Mr. Milkie and his son John, aged 18 years, were in a barn when it was demolished. The son was inatantly killed, and the father is in a critical condition. In the next half dozen miles of the track of the storm only two persons were killed, and the damage was comparatively light. Three persons were probably fatally injured and ten less seriously hurt. The cloud struck Oakwood almost witheut warning, and there is little left of that vil lage to day. The Methodist Episcopal and the Congregational church, the town hall, practically all the business houses and most. of the residences were leit in rains, wine persons were killed in the village and many injured. ' The three miles stretch from Oakwood to Thomas is a scene of heart-rending desola tion and wreckage. Everything in the path of the cyclone was leveled. In and around Thomas the death list is large, and many are injured. A fter completing its work of destruction at Thomas the cyclone evidently separated, one section going northeast and doing an 'immense- amount of damage between Thomas and Dryden in Lapore county, and the other following a southeasterly direc tion to North Oxford. In this stretch nine persons were killed. After leaving North Oxford, the path of the southeast cyclone is marked at intervals until Mount Clemens is reached, where great damage was done and many persons injured. The next heard from the storm was near Walkerville, Ont, twenty miles due south of Mount Clemens. The cyclone evidently expended its force after striking Canada, as no other reports of damage have been re ceived. After passing Dryden and Whiteviile, in Lapore county, the next heard from the other storm was in Sanilac county, thirty miles -away, at the village or Amadore, which was nearly swf pt awav. The fun nel shaped cloud struck a mile west of the village and in a path half a mile wide and six and a half miles long to the shores of Lake Hnpj every building was more dr ies damagedftA lusro.'J )unty was also visited by a wind st' -.f cyclonic violence last even ing. ' every building in the path of the stof which started near Guilford and traveled uirectly east for six 'miles, was de stroyed. Jos Malburn was hit by a Hying board and instantlv killed. Wycliffe, Ky., May 26 -A cyclone struck this place this morning at S;30 o'clock, wrecking and unrooting a number of houses. The storm passed through the "southwest cbrner of the town, missing the thickly settte! portion. The two story brick store ot Neely, Harless & Co. was un--roofed and completely wjecked. J. A. Rich's store was blown down and several other houses were either totallv blown Sown or twisted badly. No lives were. lost, nut that much damage was dona m the sur rounding country is certain.

It is well known that Mr. W. A.

The lavish ex penditure of money by these concerns at the last L' eislature is fresh in the mind3 of the people.

WILMINGTON, N, C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1896. A REVENUE MEASURE INJECTED INTO THE FILLED OHEP.SE BILL. The Motion to Table the Amend ment, Defeated in the Senate, Debate on the Bond Bill -Conference Reporra Tfte Hcne liepeala the Free AIco- hoi Law Keports . on Vetoes of Pnai-m . Bills. SENATE. . WAsniKGTON.May 26 The House measure known as the "Filled Cheese" bill came up before the Senate to day under the lead of Senator Sherman, Republican, of Ohio, who had reported it from the Senate Committee on Finance. Its object is to discourage manufacture and sale of an adulterated article of food, imposing a heavy license on manufacturers and wholesale dealers, and its supporters advocate its passage, not as a revenue measure, but as a protection to dairy men and the geneal public. It had not been many minutes before the Senate when it was converted from a merely nomial to an actual revenue measure by an amendment, adding to it a section imposing an additional tax of 75 cents a barrel on beer, ale and porter. This amendment was offeied by Senator Dubois, Eepublican, of Idaho, in order to offset Senator Sherman's criticisms of the Senate for proposing to ad journ without providing sufhcient. revenue for the treasury. If adopted this amend ment would bring into the treasury, accord ing to Senator Dubois' view, $25,000,000, about enough to supply the estimated de ficiency. - - - -Senator Sherman antagonized the amend ment as something intended to defeat the pending measure or that at least would have that effect; and he moved to lay the amendment on the table This motion was defeated by a yea and nay vote 25 to 32. Several Democratic Senators Cockrell, Hill, Mitchell of Wis consin, Palmer, Pasco. Turpie and Vilas voted yea, while an equal number of Re Rublican Senators Brown, Cannon, Carter, Dubois, Hansbrough, Pettigrew and Teller voted no. The five Populists Se'nalors present Allen, Butler, Kyle, Peffer and Stewart voted no, giving the preponder ance to the negative side. And so the Sen ate refused to table Senator Dubois amend ment, and it was discussed until the conclu sion of the morning hour, when the Pro hibitory Bond bill came up as the unfin ished business. The debate on the Bond bill did not pre sent many points of interest. Senator Pritchsrd was the first speaker. He inti mated his willingness to vote for his col: league's bill in a certain contingency, which contingency, however, would not present itself if Congress would before adjournment pass an act that would provide a sufficient revenue on the lines of protection to Amer ican industries. The Bond bill went over without action. The tinal conference report on the Legis lative, Executive and Judicial Appropria tion bill was presented, discussed and agreed to, and a partial conference report on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was also presented, agreed to, and a further confer ence ordered. The Pension committee reported back the vetoed pension bill of F. E. Hoover, with a recommendation that it be passed notwith standing the objections of the President. A bill to give Mrs, Spencer, widow of Gen. and ex-Senator Spencer of Alabama, a pen sion of 75 a month was passed. , At 6:15 o'clock p ni., the Senate proceeded to executive business, and soon afterward adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. With an amendment, the House to-day, by a vote of 1G5 to G'J, passed the b 11 to re peal section Gl of the Wilson Tariff law of 1894, which provides for free alcohol in the arts and manufactures. The altirmative vote was Composed of 104 Republicans, 56 Democrats and 5 Populists: the negative votes of 60 Republicans and 9 Democrats. The amendment adopted was that recom mended by the Committee on Ways and Means, providing for the appointment of a joint committee of three Senators and three Representatives to sit during the recess and investigate the suliect with a view to re porting to the next session of Congress a form of regulations under which the free use of alchol may be bad without danger to the revenues of the Government. There was vigorous opposition to the bill from the Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York delegations, in the interest of these and other States, but they were -ile to muster only sixty nine votes all told upon any proposition to amend the bill or to de feat its passage . . The House disagreed to all the Senate amendments to the General Deficiency Ap propriation bill except that making pro vision to pay te French spoliation and war claims allowed under the Bowman act, amounting, altogether to nearly $2 000,000. As to these, a vote upon concurrence in the Senate amendment will be taken to-morrow. A further partial conference upon the In dian Appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. It provides for the continuance of the Dawes Indian commission. The President's veto of the bill for the relief of B. F. Jones, ex-po3tmaster at Beauregard, Miss., was read and referred to the Committee on Claims. Mr. Daniels, Repu-bliean, of New York, reported the resolution adopted in com mittee in the contested election case of Aldrich, Republican, vs. Underwood, Dem-. ocrat, from the Ninth Alabama district in favor of Aldrich. The contested election case of Jphnson, Republican, vs. Stokes, Democrat, ffom the Seventh district of South Carolina, was taken up, and Mr. Jenkins, Republican, of Wisconsin, opened the debate in support of the committee's report in favor of the sitting member. '. Without concluding his speech he yielded the floor, and at 5 45 o'clock the House ad journed. f-patu Yields as to xportlt To bacco Krom Cub. 'Washington, May 2G The protest made by Secretary Olcey against Capt. Gen. Wey ler's prohibition of jtobacco exports from Havana has been successful. He has b? en officially informed that all - contracts for Cuban leaf tobacco entered into before the publication of the order prohibiting its ex portation will be respected, and they will be permitted to export the same ss heretofore. The removal of the pro hibition will prevent further friction between the Government of Spain and the United States. The word ' protest" has been used in reference to the rei presentations made to Spain on the subject by Secretary Olney,- bat the expression is a little too radi cal, Mr. Olney having confined his state ments to the ordinary diplomatic language employed in making a request for a redress of alleged grievances. It is clear, however, that the Spanish Government intends to allow the prohibition to stand aud that con tracts for leaf tobacco made by American citizens after the captain general's order .will not avail to secure the shipment ot the tobacco from Cuba. A Ferry Steamer Capa'zJd. Cairo, Ills, May 23 This morning shortly after 8 o'clock, the ferry boat Katherine capsized and eleven persons were drowned. The boat left her landing at 8 o'clock and was near the Illinois shore about a mile below here when the storm struck her. She turned completely over and remained in that position for some, time while her up per works were carried - away, nothing re maining but her hull and engines. The captain, John F. Hacker, Engineer George Magee, .Cierks Renly, Posey and Joseph Curry, a passenger, escaped from the wreck and they assisted Dr. Orr, of Wyckliff, an other passenger out from the debris and they all climed upon the overturned hull, which was partly submerged. .
