The senators then hll into line and preceded by the vice resident and secretary, and attended Dy ther officeri. who 'carried the boxes con- saining the certificates of the presidential jlectors, moved toward the hall of the ouse of representatives, lne sen- te returned to its chamber at 2:10 'clock and the vice president made a jtatcment of the vptcs for president and lice president of the United States. rhe bill appropriating $50,000 for an questriin statue of General John Starke, h Manchester. N. II.. was passed ana !he senate rwumed consideration of the ar coupler bill. No action was takeD, nd the Benate, after a short executive fcssion. ndiourncil at fi.dU o ciock. In the tnHte, Thursday, Mr. Frye, in eporting back adversely certain amend ments referred to the committee on com nerce (proposing river and harbor ap propriation Raid the sundry appropria ion bill already contained the river and iarbor appropriations to the amount of UOUt 16,0'JO,000 (under continuing on tract clause) and that the committee n commerce would not recommend any my fnrthcr river aud harbor appropria ions. On motion of Mr. Morgan, the enate at noon went into executive ses ion. ' When the doors reopened, Mr. Wolcott moved to change the hour of meetmsr to rioon. The vote was a tie and ho vice-president yoted' in the aflirina ive. At 1 o'clock p. m. the automatic bar coupler bill was taken up. The Benate calendar was taken up un- Eer rule tieht Fridav moroioir and a largo number of bills unobjected to passed general bills of a local character. - rhe vote by which the house bill to pro vide for fcuudry light houses and other lids to navigation passed some days igo was reconsidered; all amendments idopted by the senate to it were re jected, and the bill was passed with out amendment just as it came from the louse. The last calendar passed was the senate bill to amcud the act of August 13, 1888, in relation to the jurisdiction of circuit courts of the United States. It rprovides that any foreign corporation may Jbe Bued in anv district where it may be found. The railroad car automatic coup ler bill was taken up. After some dis- fcussion the vote on the bill was fixed for four o'clock S itnrday. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill Lwas presented and referred to the com mittee on appropriations. The senate at 5 o'clock proceeded to executive busi ness and shcrrtly uftcrward adjourned till noon. - The senate, Saturday morning, after some routine business, proceeded to con eider the bill fur the relief of the Ke weahnn colonists in California. The bill was not disposed of. At 2 o'clock the railroad car coupler bill was laid before the Btnate as unfinished business. A number of nmeadnunts were agreed to and the bill was passed. It now goes back to the house. THE HOUSE. In the house, Wednesday morning, the journal was read nnd approved. The speaker laid before the body the quaran tine bi'.l with senate amendment, and, Mr. Raynor, of Maryland, moved a con-' currence, which prevailed. On motion of Mr. Spriner,a resolution was adopted admitting to rhe floor ladies, who came to witness the electoral count, aud who having tickets to the reserved gnllcries, were unable to secure seats. A. recess was taken for a quaiter of an hour. Af ter reeves, and a few moments before 1 o'clock, Doorkeeper Turner announced the presence of the vice president and senate or the United States and the vast assemblage rose with one accord to dcthem honor. The vice president took the chair assigned to him to the right of the speaker, and the senators occupied the first four rows of seats to the right of the presiding officer. The counting of the electoral votes was then proceeded with and at its completion the senate re turned to its own hall. When thescna'e had retired the house resumed in com mittee the consideration of the legisla tive appropriation bill. Without dis posing of the bill tbe committee arose and the house, at 5 :20 o'clock, adjourned. The house, Thursday, recommitted the silver special order of the day, which was the consideration of the repeal of the Sherman silver act, to the rules com mittee, which kills silver repeal for the present. ,The hcuse went into commit tee of the whole for further considera tion of the legislative appropriation bill. On motion of Mr. Enloe an amendment was adop'ed providing that hereafter no building owned or used for public pub lic purposes shall bo draped in mourn ing. An amendment was adopted pro viding that the executive departments of the govirnracnt shall not be closed as a mark of nspect to the memory cf any deceased official of tho United States. A : proviso making it the duty of the heads , . 6everal executive departments, in the interest of tbe public service, of require of all clerks and other em ployes not less than eight hours of labor each day, except Sundays and public coiiaays, gave rise to a great deal of dis cussiod, but ho material changa was msde. The committee then rose and re ported the bill to the house. A motion to re-commit the bill to the committee on appropriations was lost and the bill was passed. The house then adjourned. In the house, Friday, general discus sion of annual appropriation bill was in dulged in. Mr. Mutchler, of Pennsyl vania, who had charge of the bill, made a two hours' speech, but elicited no un usual attention. Other members made speeches, but the bill, which carries more than $166,000,000, was treated as though it carried no more than 166 cents. With out closing the general debate the com mittee rose and the house, at 5 o'clock, took a recess 'until 8 o'clock, the even ing session to be for the consideration ot private pension bills. The evening ses sion of the bouse held to consider the private pension bill, was wasted in fili bustering, and at 9.30 o'clock, a motion to adjourn prevailed, no business what ever having been accomplished. In the house. Saturday, Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, offered, as a question of privilege, a long "preamble and resolu tion. The preamble says that the com mittee of electionshas refused to act upon the South Carolina contested election case of Miller against Ellio't. The reso lution instructs the committee to inves tigate the cmsc and report upon it with in five days. The republicans filibus tered against any limitation of the gen- erardebato on the appropriation bill. The democrats were compelled to yield, and the bouse resumed consideration of the pension appropriation bill, with no limitation as to the general debate. CAPITAL GOSSIP. It is practically settled that John G. Carlisle will be secretary of the treasury and Daniel S. Lamont secretary of war under Cleveland. - The Hawiian commissioners followed ur the distinct advantage pained by their official recognition Saturday by the pres ident, which gives them diplomatic standing, by calling in their new capaci ty as recognized envoys u on Secretary Foster at the state department. All members of the cabinet were pres ent at a meeting Friday which lasted nearly an hour. The principal topic discussed was the action of Minister Stevens in establishing a protectorate J over the liawadiian islands. In view of the fact that the next steamer leaving San Francisco for Monolulu is scheduled for Tuesday the 14th instant, it is not believed that any definite action will .be taken approving or disapproving Minis ter Steven's action until the day before the departure of the steamer for the islands. The announcement that Judge Walter Q. Gresham will be secretary of state un der the democratic administration is met with consternation by the whole army of office-seekers, who have been counting on consular and other appointments un der the next administration. It is said that under Judge Gresham's administra- tion there will be very few changes in I the consular service, and that all consuls now representing the United States abroad, whose records have been satis factory, will be retained in office, and that the question of partisan appoint ment will not for a moment be taken into consideration. The house committee on post office and postroads had decided not to consider the request of the Atlantic Coast Line for a share in the subsidy for ! ... ..... - . . I special mail facilities from New York to southern points, and now that the com mittee's appropriation bill has been re ported to the house, the Coast line peo pie will have to take the matter to that body. The postmaster-general is op posed to this Bppropriation which carries $196,000, and it is thought if it is in any way agitated in the house, some of the retrenchers will strike it out of the bill aud the roads who are to be benefited by it will be left out. The New York members of congress, all of whom worked and voted for the repeal of the Sherman act, say that the action of the house Thursday makes an extra 6.ssion of congress early in the spring an absolute necessity. They say they have no doubt but that Mr. Cleve land will call an extra session for the sole purpose of dealing with the money question. These men are, however, somewhat excited. They seem to fear a crisis in financial affairs. The con servatives, who are equally well posted, were in nOjSUch apprehension, and many believe that Mr. Cleveland, after consid ering the matter thoroughly during tbe next few weeks, will conclude that an extra session is not such an imperative necessity. Ctnitlni (he Totr. Immense crowds were drawn to the capitol, SVednesdiy, by the merely for mal ceremonies incident to the official counting of the electoral vote. The cer emonies incident to the counting of the .... . . . vote are prescribed by a joint resolution reported by senator Hoar, in 188?, and had been made applicable to all succeeding elections and been incorporated in the supplement and revised statutes. Vice-President Mor ton some days since sppointed as tellers, on behalf of the senate, for this important ceremony Mr. Hale, of Maine, and Mr. Blackburn, of Ken tucky. Speaker Crisp appointed Judge Chipman, of Michigan, and Henry Catot Lodge, senator-elect from Massachussetts, as the house tellers. The actual cere monies were nearly the same as four years ago. There was the ceremonious open ing of the safe in the vice-president's room, and taking out the eighty-eight sealed packages supposed to represent the forty-four states,as received in dupli cate by mail and messenger. There was a solemn procession in the "goose step" of old Captain Bassett, who has participated in every presidential count for , more than sixty years escorted by a squad of capi tol police to prevent a raid being made upon the precious locked boxes contain ing the votes. .The boxes having been safely deposited in tbe house the senate in a body followed shortly before one o'clock. The vice president having call ed the joint assemblage to order, pro ceeded formally to open one of the boxes which contained the - returns of ' the electors of the various states. The first return that of' Alabama was handed to Senator Haley, one of the tellers, who, in a low, but distinct voice, read the statement ihowing that the eleven rotes of that state had been cast for tificates were presented without forma! reading, the letters merely stating the result. After the last certificate had been read and the result footed op, the vice president made the customary an nouncement that under tbe law this was sufficient declaration that Grovcr Cleve land, of tbe state of New York, was elected president "of the United States, and that Adlai E.. Stevenson was elected vice president of the United States, each for a term beginning March 4th, 1893, and that this result would be entered to gether with a list of votes on the journal of the senate and the house of represen tatives. The joint session was then de clared dissolved. The senate withdrew, and each house resumed business in its own chamber. COTTON FIGURES. 1 Estimates as Sent Oat by the U. S. Ag . ricultural Department. A Washington dispatch of Friday says: The February returns to the department of agriculture which relate to cotton give the country estimated , of the crop com pared with that of last year, the propor tion that has left the plantation, tbe av erage date of the close of picking, insect losses, etc. The consolidation of the returns of the comparative crops make the following state percentages: "Vir ginia, 55 per cent; North Carolina, 73 per cent; South Carolina, 75 per cent; Georgia, 74 per cent; Florida, 60 per cent; Alabbma, 65 per cent; Mississippi, 60 per cent; Louisiana, 55 per cent; Texas, 84 per cent; Arkansas, 58 per cent; Tennessee, 64 per cent. General average, 69.2 percent. No allowance is made for underesti mate of the crop or overestimate of dis tribution. The proportion of the crop received at ports, in the stocks of interi or towns, in the hands of merchants un reported and enroute from plantations is thus stated, as reported by county cor respondents: Virginia, 86 per cent; North Carolina, 85 per cent ; South Car olina, 87 per cent; Georgia, 89 per cent; Florida, 89 per cent; Alabama, 89 per cent; Mississippi, 88 per cent; Louisiana. 89 per centi Texas, 87 per cent; Arkan- sis, o per cent; lennessee, 80 per cent. General average, 87.9 per cent. The quality is fairly good as a rule, al though better on the Atlantic coast and Texas than in the interior areas. Ia the latter picking cotton was much discolor ed by the fro3t. In most of the states the average yield of lint is reported at 32 per cent. Tbe average dates of the close of picking are as follows: Vir ginia, November. 30th; North Carolina, December' 1st; South Curolina, December 1st; Georgia, November 27th; Floridn, November 15th ; Alabama, November 28th; Mississippi, December, 3d; L uis iana, December 4'h; Texas, December 15th; Arkansas, December 16th; Ten nessee, December 5th. The losses from insect depredations are relatively small. No losses were reported north of Georeia and the Gulf States. except in Arkansas. The boll worm did more damage than tbe caterpillar, mainly in Mississippi and the states west of the river. The caterpillar was especially in jurious in Alabama. relatively large. proportion of the seed ha -een sold to oil mills on account of the small size of the crop and high price of oil in svm- pathy with the advance of lard. The reported price varies according to the accessibility of mills from 15 to 25 cents per bushel.

A" special of Friday, from Denver, CoL, says: All railroads are badly blocked by the snow and t-ains are seri ously delayed. At Ouray, Col., an unusually heavy snow storm has pre vailed for Jtwo davs, blockading Silver ton rajlroad and cutting off communi cation with towns of Rad mountain and Ironton, besides blocking many of the Irails to the mines. Snow slides are numerous and fatal to life and much damage has been done, Thursday night word was received of a terrible av alanche that occurred between Ouray and Potter. Four men - were instantly killed and it will probably be months be fore their bodies can be recovered. They. were teamsters and.were in charge of four teams, all of which were buried and de stroyed. The names of the killed are: John Swan, Martin White, Hank Met calf and one unknown. GEN. BEAUREGARD ILL. He is the Last of the Full Generals of the Confederacy.

CLASH OF AUTHORITY. Sontl Carolina's Goyeraor at far witli Uncle Sam's Courts. He is Making a Determined Effort to Collect Railroad Taxes. A Columbia, 8. C. dispatch of Tuesda says: The clash has come and Governor Tillman and the federal court are in di rect conflict over the railroads situated in the 6tate. Governor Tillman has thrown down the gauntlet and bid defi ance to the United States court, and Uncle Sam has accepted the challenge. As stated in the press dispatches, the sheriffs throughout the state,, acting under instructions from Governor Till man in a secret circular issued recently, have levied upon the rolling stock of the railroads which have not paid their taxes as claimed to be due by the state, and have chained the cars to the track, thus blocking the proper operations of the road, delaying valuable freights in tran sit, amounting in value to several times the taxes for which the levies have been made, and which were declaied by the courts in 1892 to be illegal. After hearing the petition of the Richmond and Danville road concerning this "arrest of trains,'.' Judge Simenton of the United States court issued an order releasing all trains that have been tied up. and restraining sheriffs from further in terference with the property. This was ordered served upon the sheriffs Tues day by United States marshals. Dispatches from several of these points state that the sheriffs are paying no at tention to these orders. When the gov ernor learned of this procedure he called a conference with the attorney general, the assistant and Judge Samuel Melton. After a lengthy council of war the gov ernor telegraped the following instruc tions to the sheriff: Where the amount of taxes in execution for 189 1 and 1692 is less than two thousand dollars, hold the property to satisfy the execution, un less it is taken from you by force. Then sub mit to arrest aud we will take the case to the United States supreme court on habeas corpus proceedings and make this federal judge obey the decrees of that court. In regard to his p sition in the matter the governor said : "We propose to see that the state of South Catolina collects her just taxes Our present purpose is to hold all of the property on wnicn levies have been made, and let Judge Siraonton do his worst. Tuesday morn ing I telegraphed all of the sheriffs to hold the property on which they have levied. Our idea is that Judge Simon ton is in contempt of the state govern ment, and we want him to act so we can get the case to Washington as soon as possible and prove it by tbe supreme court. I think we can prove that hs i3 in contempt. What we want is for him to arrest the sher.ffs. If they are arrested the matter will go up in the shape of habeas corpus proceedings. If we are wrong that the state hasn't the right to collect her taxes the sooner we know it the better. Judge Simonton '-has just been told that he has no right to interfere in cases where the amounts are less than $2,000. We will resist tyr anny, or ignorance whichever it may be and bring the matter to a focus and have our rights established." THE TEXAS BURNING. Governor Hogg Wants Legislation Igainst Mob Law. A special dispatch of Tuesday from Austin, . Texas, says : A message con cerning the burning of the negro Smith at .Paris has been prepared by Governor Hogg for submission to the legisla ure. The governor says it becomes his pain ful duty to emphasizj the necessity of takinjr some steps to prevent mob vio lence in Texas. That the recent terri ble holocaust at Paris is but an illustra tion to what extent a mob will go when the laws are inadequate to check it. While tbe victim of that affair was guilty of an atrocious, barbarous crime, appalling and contemptible he was cer tain of full punishment under the consti tution and laws of the state. Civiliza tion stands a helpless witness to the most revolting execution of the age, in which a laree number of citizens openly, in broad day, publicly become murderers by methods shameful to humanity. . That crime committed at Fans is a pisgrace to the state. Its atrocity, in humanity and sickening effect on the people cannot be obscured by a reference rlo Ibe previous act of the culprit in bru tally taking the life of Uia innocent child. V To contend that his executioners can neither be indicted nor tried in the county where the crime was committed is a pretense and mockery. He says if the legislature will enact suitable laws and place them at his commVnd every person who takes part in a mob shall be brought to tnaL or the strength ol tne machinery of justice shall be thoroughly tested in the effort. THE INAUGURATION. Preparations for the Event Going on Satisfactorily. A Washinc-ton sncial of Sundav aavs: The work of the committee having charge of the ceremomies incident to the inau guration of President-elect Cleveland is progressing satisfactorily. The governors of the following states have already no tified the committee that they will be in une accompanied by members of their staffs: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachu setts, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Louisiana and Wisconsin. There is every probability that the inauguration of March 4, 1893, will surpass all its predecessors . si ; : Movement of Specie. The steamship La Bretagne,j sailed from New York for Havre., France, Sat urday carrying $3,250,000 American gold coin, of which $3,150,003 was withdrawn from the snbtreasury. V The total gold- exports for 1S93, to!a.te, amounts to $15,650,000. Tbe steamship Scrria, also aailicg Saturday, carried 250.000 ounces of -silver and lOjlOOO Mexican dollars. Total shipments c? Yet for 1893, to date, amount to $ i CCO and 800,000. Mexican dollars. THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH Holes ol Her Prosress aM Prosperity Briely EtfWzei :; no imponani Happenings irons j i to Day Tersely Told. The North Carolina bouse of represen tatives, on Wednesdsy, passed a bill ap propriating $20,000 for the states exhibit at the world's fair. The entire east side of the square, which contained the finest block in Clarksville, Tex., burned Friday. Losses partial ' J ?ggngte $150,000. , There was insurance. A New Orleans special says : In re- sponse to an inquiry at tieoerai iseaure- gard'a residence, Thursday, tne mrorma- out of o:d 8tock 0 wintcr g0Kja by in tion was given that the general has al- terior merchants west, a check in demand most recovered from the attack of colic which he was prostrated with last Sun day. His physicians consider him en tirely out of danger. At Wheeling, W. Va.. Friday after noon, a street car manned by non-union men was attacked by a mob of 200 peo ple. Both the conductor and driver were terribly beaten, and the forem in, whose real name is not known, will prob ably die. The affair has caused great ex citement. Governor Tillman, o South Carolina, on Friday, appointed J. E. Brezeale, of Anderson, to revise general statutes of tne state under tbe enactment of loa'J and 1891. The salary for the work is $1,500. Mr. Brezeal will take the place of Judge Maher, whose iliness will pre vent finishing the work. Hon. John F. Dunn, of Ocala, Fla., aiea at noon Sunday oi mignt s disease after an illness of many weeks. He was born in South Carolina in 1844, but had lived in Florida since 1852. He was a soldier in the confederate army, and since the close of the war had held many public offices. He wras probably the most wealthy man in the state, and one of the most liberal and public-spirited. A New Orleans special of Friday says Secretary Hester's weekly New Orleans cotton exchange statement shows that the deficiency in the movement of the cotton crop, compared with that of last year.has crossed the two million nurk for the first time. The amount brought into sight for the week is over ten per cent under the corresponding seven days of tbe month last year and over 34 per cent un der the same period the year before The special message of Governor Hogg to the legislatnre on the lynching was not known in Prfiis, Texas, until the ar rival of the Thursday morning papers. The first impulse and expression was in dignatin that the govetnor should cm tinue to agitate a matter which he con f esses is without a remedy, but on better considerrtion this gave way to pity for the absurdities, as people called them, into which he had plunged. A Columbia, S. C, dispatch of Thurs day, says: It is stated officially that Governor Tillman has selected the first floor of the agricultural hall as the lca tion for the state liquor dispensary, which may or may not go into being next July. There is talk among the prohibitionists of callinsr a March convention for the purpose of preventing in the various counties the number of signatures to the petitions necessary to get a dispensary. A dispatch of Wednesday states that four thousand people in the Concordia and Cataraoula parishes in the northern portion of Louisiana, arc on the verge of 6tarvmg. Information received from that section shows that the people are in a a . as ... . .... pitiable condition, and unless relief is given them many deaths from starva tion will result. The floods of last sum mer destroyed their crops. Hundreds moved but thousands were unable to leave. Wednesday morning. Governor Jones, of Alabama, Bent to the senate the names of R. T. Simpson, of Lauderdale, and H. M. Somervilie and Aloczo Hill, of Tuscaloosa, as trustees of the Alabama insane hospital. He also sent in tbe name of Major Henry R. Shorter to sue ceed himself as president of the rail road commission. All the appointments were confirmed. There is another va cancy on the railroad commission to be filled for which there are about seventy applicants. Lanier and Burnett's grist mill, in South Nashville, Tenn., was destroyed by fire Wednesday nisht. The mill and feed sheds covered an acre of ground and adjoined the bier tobacco warehouse of Charles Dortch and the Nashville ware house and elevator, and were practically destroyed when tbe fire department ar rived. Tbe stock in the mill which is known as the Rock Ci y mill, was low and the loss was only $30,000, nearly covered by insurance, Tbe fire ongi nated in a boiler explosion, the cause of which is not known. A Savannah, Ga., spepial of Thursday, says: Securities of the Central railroad system are being deposited in the South ern bank gradually by their holders, who are desirous of oomiog in under the re- organizition plan. Eich mail brings in a number of securities from points io Georgia and other states, and vice-presi dent Crane is kept steadily basy attend ing to them. Oce trouble is the mistake of sending stock without the power xf attorney to authorize the action that the seeders desire, rendering it necessary to write to them for it. Atlanta, Ga., is to have a $1,000,000 land red lumber company.' A charter was filed in the clerk's office Friday with the following in corporators: Messrs. Stephen G. Clarke, Edward P.

Bradstreet's review of trade for past week v says :4 Features of the week in trade circles include a check to transpor- tation by rail of crain, other products and merchandise throughout portions of the central western states and in th northwest: an unnrc.ntd clearing for wool and the rapid develop ment or the gulf ports as exporters of wheat. Unfavorable weather and bad roads have had an effect in checking col'ections somewhat in the south, as well as the distribution of staples. This is conspic uous in Texas and tbe central southern states. There is good active demand for leaf tobacco at Richmond and orders for manufactured grades are being received there more freely. General trade at Nashville is active; that in hard ware and carriages and buggies notices-, bly so. There is less debating ahead throughout the region tributary to this center, and an increased disposition to discount paper. Some improvement is reported in Memphis in the movement of groceries and plantation supplies. Or ders are plentiful in most lines at Charles ton, but larger sales to interior mer chants are said to be on long time. While groceries and provisions are dull at Atlanta, there is considerable activity in the sales of dry goods and shoes. At Birmingham the volume of business nearly equals the average for the season. While trade at New Orleans has increas ed, it is expected to expand fuither after the carnival. Grain exports from that port are becoming more of a feature, but tugar is said to be quiet for the Erst time this season. There is also a good ex port demand for flour and wheat from Galveston, where leading jobbers report sales checked by unfavorable weather. dun's REroitT. , R. G. Dun & Cj. 'a report says: Two important events, the defeat of the anti- silver legislation in the senate and house, and tbe concerted deposit of gold by New York banks in the treasury in ex change for legal tenders, have a directly opposing but powerful influence upon the markets, and it is yet too early to de termine what the net result may be. The confidence manifested by the banks strengthened the markets on Thursday, but tbe decisive defeat of silver legisla tion in the house renewed the discour agement atd apprehension. It is not by all realized that the gold reserve of $100,000,000 not to be used except for the protection of note circulation, was expressly intended to be used for that purpose, and as far as it is so used, the notes go into the treas ury in place of gold taken out. The banksf by placing the gold they do not need in the treasury instead of notes, to the extent of $5,800,000 this week, rea sonably hope that their confidence maf lessen the disposition to withdraw gold. In other 'respect 8 the state of trade is satisfactory, except that severe storms and cold hive much interfered with trade, collections and transportation during the week, especially in the west. The southern and western trade at Baltimore is greater than last year in dr? goods, millinery, notions and shoes. At Pittsburg iron is in poor demand.
