The senate was in open se'sion only tea minutes Thursday morning, when, on motion of Mr. Daniel, it proceeded to ex ecutive budness. Mr. Call offered a res olution in regard to the commission to inquire into the several executive depart ments of the government. The resolution declares thit the provision of the appro priation act providing for appointment of three senators and three representatives tit. the 5yd congress, by the presiding officers of the two houses in the 52d con gress as such commission, is in deroga tiou of Ihe constitutional rights, privi leges, and prerogatives of each house, is otherwise violative of the constitution and absolutely null and void. The reso lution was ordered printed and laid on the table. After spendiug three-quarters of an hour in executive session, tne sen ate adjourned till Monday. The presentation of petitions at the present extraordinary sessdon was stopped at Monday7 session at the suggestion of Mr. Gorman, and those petitions thit may be received hereafter are to be filed with the secretary of the senate to be presented at the next regular session. The question as to the admisssion of the three men appointed as senators from the states of Montana, Wyoming ahd Wash-' ingrotjjwas subiniited in the shape of ma jority reports from the common privileges and elections in favor of their right to seats. Mr. Chandler -offered, two resolu tions, which went over till Tuesday, one cajling on the secretary of the treasury for copies of orders, regulations, manifests and certificates prepared and issued in execution of the immigration act of March 3, 189y, and the other instructing the committee on immigration to'iuquire into the con dition and character of alien emigrants and into the working of the new immi gration law w ith power to sit during recess and tend for" persons and papers.

After numerous conferences amen" themselves the republican members of the senate have decided that they will insist upon an investigation of the charges that have been mide in the pub lic prints relative to the character of Mr. Jlonch, recently elect d a senator by the .legislature of North Dakota and now occupying a seat in th - .senate as a dele gate. " The senate was in executive session Mnndiiv mnrnimf fnr liiiwonlcnf an nur nud tho .'greater part of that time wa3 consumed in :t discussion relative to the injunction of secrecy on the treaty with Russia that was recently r.Uilie l by the senate. The injunction was not, how ever, rek';wd although the majority of the senate in in favor of it, and the pro--position also inlets with the approval of Mhu frtate deparimeut. "I Secretary Carlisle, . Thursday, signed vouchers to the amount of $230,120 in favor of the world's fair commission, which is p iviible in souvenir half dollars. The commission up to this time has re ceived $1,920,120 of the $2,500,000 ap propriated by congress payable in sou venir half dollars. The secretary hns reserved $750,880 of the original appro priation until proper security, as pro vided by the United States, is given by the commission to the secretary of tho treasury. Secretary Herbert will soon take up the question of changing the color of warships. The present shade of white for vessels of tho American navy arc found to be doubly as eipenave as the former black. It is dirliult to keep the hulls clean in appearance, and the shade is not considered sufficiently deceptive, day or night, to elude an eye. -It is understood that tho paint experts will reccommend a return to blcek, and that after the re view should any of the vessels be re painted the hulls may come from the dock bearing the old-time color. Dr. F. O. St. Clair, for more thau twenty-seven years head of the consular bureau in the state department, has been rcinovtti. L.:t.f rs.it u.u.y aiieruuoa Sec retary Grc.shr. in sent a note to Dr. St. Clair notifying him that he desired him to ' tender his resignation at once, and further that his assistant, Mr. W. G. .Faison, of North Carolina, had already been appointed his successor, and would assume the duties of the office. This was naturally a surprise to Dr. bt. Clair, who bad never before dreamed that his official conduct had been called into question. He sought an" erp'anation from the secretary. The latter is said to have told him that he had been guilty of holding back ofiicial papers on the sccre that they were personal letters. The senate Thursday confirmed the following nominations: Theodore Kun yan, of New Jersey, us minister to Ger many; Walter I). D.ibney, of Virginia, as -solicitor for the department of state; Edward B. Whitney.'of New York, as assistant attorney general; James C.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The volume of trade is well maintained and manufacturers are better employed with some increase in demand, where increase was most needed, aud in dications are that the people do not be gin to think of reducing purchases. The treasury Has been regaining gold, in spite of exports of $500,000 this week and some exports expected, but. in view of the enormous excess of imports since January 1st, it is scarcely reasonable to hone that further outgoes of cold are to be avoided. The stringency in the money market at New York and "other points is largely due to slow collections, which ap pear to result rather from severe weather than from any other form of commercial soundness. At Philadelphia money is close with dull collections. Iron is in better de mand and wool very firm. At Pittsburg steel is in better demand and an advance in glass is talked of. The shoe trade at Cincinnati exceeds last year's 20 per cent and a better dry goods trade is seen at Cleveland; general trade is good, with large demand for structural iron, but col lections are 6low. Trade ' at Detroit about tquals last year's, and at Indianap olis diy goods are active and manufac turer's busy. General trade at Chicago is good and c .11. ctions fair except at some western points, but money is in strong demand and partly because of bad roads. Receipts of many products de clined wool, corn, and dressed beef 6 per cent, hogs 52, cheese 54-, cattle 24, barley and seeds 20 and oats 14 per cent. Receipts of wheat are 125 ner cent larger than -last-year r"T?e UO r&heep 3tr-imH hides 15 per cent. W either retards trade at Milwaukee and St. Paul. At St. Louis money is unchanged with a legitimate demand. Business is good at Kansas City and at Omaha trade is good. St. Joe reports a heavy trade. Business at Denver is fair and at Salt Lake it is im proving. . At most southern points improvement is seen, especially at Nashville and Knox' uille, though money is somewhat close, but at Louisville the outlook is favorable. At Atlanta collections are slow, at Mobile exports of coal and lumber increase and money is in a tight demand, but at New Orleans trade is dull. with' sugar in good demand and large exports of wheat re stricted by the lack of ocean tonnage. Though other iron is lessfiim at Phila delphia with more pressure to sell, Besse mer is strong, and at most markets the demand, for manufactured products of iron and steel seems to increase; Copper is slow at 11 3-4 for lake, but tin is ad vanced to 21 by speculation, while sales of lead has been large at 395. The western movement of live stock about equals last year's. The advance in carpets continues and trade in knit goods is larger. Speculation in cotton fluctuates ab surdly with rumors about the English strike, but the price is unchanged, though stocks in sight exceed the proba ble demand for the year. Wheat has de clined 1 with sales of 16,000,000 bush bushels at New York, though western leceipts in four days are-over 1,700,000 bushels and exports are only 66B,000. Pork and hogs are slightly higher, though lard is lower. Foreign trade continues to show a large adverse bal ance. Purchases in foreign account do not as yet indicate reviving qualities in American securities. The business failures occurring through out the country during the last seven days number 243 as compared with 220 last week. For the corresponding week of tawTjear the figures were 231. Sunday morning, at Tyler, Texas, fire destroyed the the VVimberly and Phillips buildings,adjoining each other. The total loss will reachj100. 000. shrinkage in the price of cotton has caused the failure of New berger Bros., ar. cattevsvine, 3Iiss. j They were tne most extensive cotton merchandise deal ers in Mississippi. Saturday the well known hotel, the Maxwell house, at Nashville, Tenn., was sold at chancery sale for partition. A. H. Ro'binson became the purchaser for $200,000, and assumed a debt of $53, 000. James Py Dobbins, of the firm of Dob bins & Dazey, cotton factors, at Nash ville, Tenn., which firm assigned a few days ago, has called a meeting of all the firm's creditors for April ll,in Nashville, with a view of arriving at a settlement of the firm's liabilities. A St. Augustine, Fla., special of Sun day says: Sevins Smith, J. C. Horsfall, William Sugdon, Quint Smith of Eng land, and C. n. Fillimer of Texas have just closed jthe purchase of the Jupiter Island Spanish Grant of 15,000 acres on the Indian river and have contracts to set it in pineapples. The reinterment of .TetTprsrm TWia' remains will take place in Hollywood cemetery at Richmond, May 30lh. A plot has been selected by Mrs". Davis and will be reserved for the Davis family. The Louisiana division will have charge of the ceremonies' at New Orleans and Lee Camp at Richmond. The railway commission of North Car olina heard an important case at Raleigh inursaay. it was the case of Ormond aaaiust the Richmond and Danville rail way, the complaint being that the rail way refused to refund the unused portions of two tickets from Winston to Go!dbo ro. The commission ordered the railway to refund. Sunday morning the thriving town of Lynnville, Tenn., was swepty a disas trous fire, which wiped om?x almost the entire business portion of the town. The total losses are $40,000; insurance not known. The Lyunville Bmk and Trust Company escaped. Lynnville is in Giles county, on the Louisville and Nash ville railroad, fifteen miles north of Pu laski. The Columbia, S.

Bills were passed Thursday in the North Carolina legiskture.providing that the speaker of the senate aud the speaker of the house shall be in the line of suc cession to the gubernatorial chair in case of the death of the governor. In the senate bills were passed ceding jurisdic tion over certain lands to the United States for the use of Chicksmauga Na tional park, and creating the office of pri vate secretary to the governor at a salary of $1,200 per annum. A telegram received at Tuskaloosa, Ala., Monday evening from New York, states that the purchase money for the Tuskaloosa, Northern and the Tuskaloosa belt railway has been paid, thus com pleting the Wooifolk deal, which will result in the extension of the Northern through the Warrior coal fields and the completion of the belt line. The tele gram further stated that bonds of the road have been sold and the money is now in hand to begin the work of con struction. , A Raleigh, N. C, special of Monday says: It has been arranged with the prosecuting officers of the state and the counsel of S. O. Wilson, chairman of the people's party state committee, who stands indicted for belonging to a sec ret oath-bound political organization, that Wilson shall, in the superior court, enter the plea of nole contendere, that no judgment shall be pronounced, and that Wilson shall pay the cast. This is a happy solution of this political prose cution, and is satisfactory to the people. The North Carolina railway commis sion fixes 25 cents as the rate for a ten word telegram from one point to another in the state. A message from Winston J was filed at Elizabeth City by E. P. Al bes, and an extra charge was made on the ground that the message was trans mitted via Richmond, Va., and thus passed outside of the state. The rail way commission held the extri charge to be unlawful. The Western Union ap pealed. M onday Judge Brown filed a decision in the superior court affirming the judgment of the commission.

A dispatch from iSt. Joseph, Mo., states that Compton jicCoy, a farmer re siding a few mile sonth of the city on the Missouri river banks, was duck shooting on a sand bir Tuesday evening, when he discovered i large dry good box floating with the current. He haul ed the box to the saore and, breaking it open, discovered that it was filled with dead bodies, in an advanced stage of decomposition, the remains being so badly decomposed that identification was impossible. It is supposed the re mains are those of a family of eirn grants, who disappeared in a mysterious manner from near Kulo, four miles north of tho tity, last fall. SNOW IN THE NORTHWEST.

The National Plate Glass? .Company was incorporated at Springfield; Ohio, Thursday. The capital stock of the new company is $8,000,000." The object, as stated In the charter, is to manufacture und deal in plate glass, etc: Dealers in glass look upon the new corporation with suspicion. Some think it is the begin ning of the consolidation of the .plate glass interest of the country. The striking miners of the Mononga- hela valley met at Monongahela City, Pa., Thursdav. and resolved unanimous remain out until the operators cone rswere evicted Trom company's nouses snd three more have been notified to vacate within ten days.

A St. Paul, Minn.?, dispatch of Sunday says: Two prosecutions will be begun at once against the parties charged with en gineering the coal combine. This was decided upon at a conference between At torney General Childa and the investiga ting committee. One of these suits will be in the state courts, and the defend ants E. M. Saunders and J. J. Rhodes, will be charged with perjury. The sec ond prosecution will be in the federal courts under the anti-conspiracy law and will have as defendants all the prime movers in the combination. A New York special says : Despite the various denials, a strong impression prevails among well-informed bankers in W all street that J. Pierepont Morgan, of the banking house of Drexel, Morgan & Co., who sailed for Europe Thursday on the Majestic, has a commission from the government to arrange the sale of bonds abroad. If an issue becomes necessary to replenish the treasury stock of gold the bonds would be issu-d under the re funding act, and would bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent. The bonds would probably command a premium of 12 or 13 per cent. A special cable dispatch of Thursday from Berlin, Germany, says:' The Prus sian government having issued an order prohibiting Russian and Austrian emi grants from crossing the frontier into Russian territory, and from buying tick ets that would give Russian and Austrian emigrants passage through Pruskian ter ritory to German ports, the agents of the Liverpool and Glasgow lines of trans-At lantic steamships have opened offices in Rotterdam, Holland, whence the emigrants who reach there will be shinned for America by way of Great Britain. The Elm street Methodist Episcopal church, at bcractoo. l'a.. wmeh was nartiv destroyed by fire December 31, last, at a les of $1 0,000, and which had lwn n'mmt ncntructd ajrnin, was burned Monday morning. The structure is now a complete ruin, coth- thing before the law, when this great country was first settled, and this abominable failure of a psople or a free government , was- established. Something has been said abAit a game that two cu play at, era rule that works both ways. Now think of these things. Our con gress in its wisdom has een fit and prop er to enact a statute known as the inter state commerce law, and several great big, bloated and gouty fellows are paid sal a- I hand by ries greater than the earnings of a dozen I prison honest men to see to nd enforce equality and justice to all subjects of the United States under this law. I don't like to repeat the old, old story of the unequal and unjust discrimination made against Florida in regard to transportation rates, but the state of the orange market for a large part of this and preceding years show that we cannot bear this unjust bad any longer. Takeup the catalogues oi orange saiea in tne rrun excimuge uihuuuhuj; centers,, for the past two months, and I venture to say that of two-thirds oi inose sales the transportation men get the larg estrhalf. Think of it! The lowest-priced, reliable route rate to New York, that I know of charges 78 cents, and to other points proportionally higher. For instance, to Chattanooga, the express rate from here is 88 cents, 75 cents to Washington! lean hardly say that there is such a thing as freight service. I can not think of that one trial of that. last season cured me for all time. )i ' For two months oranges have been quoted in Atlanta and Chattanooga at from $1.50 to $2.25. Let us "split this difference" and we have $1.87. Now give the transportation companies 80 cents to Chattanooga, and put down 40 cents for the expense of preparing for market, and then let's see who gets ithe ost the grower or the transportation company, we see tne mner hhw 80 cents, while we get 67, or- he gets about 20 per cent more than wo do. And so this is a sample case. Now, boys, Florida has a black eye. Orange growing is not satisfactory. We can't stand this racket a-iy longer. We must ask' our legislature to make a spe cial appeal to congress for legislative re lief the enactment o? a special clause in the interstate commerce act to enforce or provide living rates on Florida oranges especially. We are told that the reason wny this out-of-all-proportion-and-con-. sistency rate was put upon us is because we or our truck would" bear it or that we were so beastly stupid that we would not resent it. Udc thing mat ineso wiseacres may here be told is that while they are saving at the spigot the leak is glng on at the bung. "There is mora than one wayto kill a dog," as the boys fay and these outrageous charges and abuses of our truck are having their ef fect. This muttering of distant tnunder king was returning from the villa Broughese,wheie he had been spending a portion of the day, when a person, having the general appearance of an ItalUu workingmtn, threw a stote at the king, the missile almost striking. Several persons rushed npon the assailant and seized hi ra before he had another chance to make an at- tempt at violence. The assailant was promptly taken in the police and conveyed to Otherwise in all probability he would havn been killed by tne angry multitude. An immense crowd assem bled and cheered the kiog with frantic enthusiasm and all the way to the paUce the scene was like a triumphal progress. King Humbert gracefully acknowledged the ovation and was evidently deeply moved by the evidence of loyalty on the part of hi subjecs. Arresting the Saloon Men. - By order of Governor Leweliing, who had commissioned him deputy attorney general for the purpose. Attorney J. 1.
