No Change For the PrcsentTlio Visit Spoken of m a Graceful Act. A special from Washington, under dato of tbe Uth, nays: "Oen. Lonfj treot will have to 'wait until Oen. Wade llampion recovers from hii present indisposition, before there will be a change in the office of commis sioner of railroads. "One of the wont interesting inci dents of the day nt the White House was a call by Heuator Tillman, Senator MeLauriu, Representative Latimer and Representative Ktokes. of Boutu Carolina. Although silver Democrats of the deepest-dyed hue, they are on friendly terms with the President and visited him to request the retention of Oen. Wade Hampton, ft eold Demo crat. The President told them that he thought very highly of General Hamp ton, but said that he expected to make change in the office some time in the future. He did not expect, however, to immediately nominate a successor to .Oen. Hampton. As has been stated Oen. Longstreet is the man who has been picked for the position. To South Caro linians and to politicians generally, who re familiar with the relations that ex isted for years between General Hamp ton and the faction represented by the callers today, the visit is of deep inter est In 18'JO, when Senator Tillman was elected Governor of South Carolina after one of the most bitter campaigns ever known ih the South, an intensely hostile feeling between Governor Till man and General Hampton, then Sen ator, was aroused, resulting in the de feat of Senator Hampton for re-election, and the election by Tillman's efforts, of Senator J. M. L. Irby. The hostility between General Hampton and Governor Tillman was further in creased by the bitter attacks which Governor Tillman and his faction made upon ex-President Cleveland and the Chicago convention iu 18(J2, General Hampton being a warm supporter of President Cleveland. There has never been a reconciliation of any kind be tween Tillman and General Hampton, and the visit to the President today was a grateful act on the part of the South Carolinian. Senator Tillman and President McKinley are on won derfully good terms for men of such wide divergence of views. Senator Mo Laurin is highly regarded by the Pres ident. A HORK1BLK JOKE. Cause of the Suicide of Kit Bundy at Clio. It appears that the suicide of Eli Bundy at Clio, 8. C, was theresult of a practical joke. A large part of Clio was recently destroyed by Are, and some young mon jokingly aeensed Bundy of committing the arson, and told him that he and his son would be arrested and tried for burning Clio. Bundy was a harmless, conscientious and sensitive man, and being charged with so grave a crime bore heavily on his mind for sev eral days and drove him to self-destruo-tion. lie lived several minutes after his throat was cut, and managed to say two or three times, "Me and my eon are not guilty. " He leaves a wife and five or six children. WAl-SOS REPUDIATES BRYAN. Ihe Populist Heady to Go the Next Campaign Alone. An Atlanta, Go,, special says Thomas E.

" Slmonton Has the Ce. At Asheville, N. C, Wednesday the injunction case of the Southern Rail way company against Governor Rus sell, Attorney-General Walser and the . directors of the road was concluded. W. H. Pay, counsel for the defendant opened the argument, charging a case of corrupt ion, saying Russell was the only Governor who has ever gone against the Southern's will. Mr. Car lisle, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, took whack at the Governor, and spoke for an hour. Judge Avery replied in strong terms, and Judge Burwell argued for the old directors. The case is now in the hands of Simonton. and he says he will render a decision as soon as possible. Pleadings were also filed in the suit of the Central Trust company of New Yoik against the North Carolina railroad, and the case went to the court without argument North Carolina Doctors.

HCBAUD & ROTH, hMm- NO. 85. Report of the Proceedings from Day io Day. SENATE. Ji'nb7th. The Senate disposed of the lumber paragraph, which had been more s..ubKi'nly contested thon any feature of the bill, thus for, by defeat ing the motion of Senator Vest to place w hite pine on the free list. The vote was yeas 20, nays 88. The contest was mainly significant in breaking party lines, which have been maintained, with few exceptions, during the early stages of the debate. On the final vote eight Demooratio Senators voted against Mr. Vest's proposition, namely: Messrs. Baoon ana Clay, of Georgia; McEnery, of Louisi ana; MoLaurin and Tillman, of South Carolina; Martiu.of Virgiuia; Rawlins, of Utah and White. On the other hand, Mr. Carter, Republican, and Msssrs. CannoL and Mautlo, silver Republi cans, voted for the Vest motion. Pol lowing this, a vote to substitute the Wilsou lumber schedule was defeated, 21 to 37, and the schedule was agreed to as reported. The debate preoeding the vote was at times very breezy, ow ing to the break of political lines. The consideration of the tarifi bill was resumed soon after the session opened, and the dis cussion proceeded on the paragraph placing a duty of $2 per 1,000 feet on lumber. Mr. Allen, Populist, of Ne braska, moved to substitute the provis ions of the Wilson bill, which placed lumber on the free list. The Senator ipoke in particular about restoring white pine to the dutiable list, urging that the rates were designed to be pro hibitory against Canadian pine. There was nothing, he said, "in the clap-trap argument" of American high wages, as the wages of the lumbermen in Canada were, on a whole, higher than in the United States. Junk 8th. By the decisive vote of 42 to 19 the Senate adopted an amend ment to the tariff bill, placing raw cot ton, the great product of tho South, on the dutiable list, at 20 per cent ad valo rem. It is the first time in the history of tariff legislation that a duty on cot ton has been incorporated m a bill. The amendment was proposed by Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, on his individual responsibility, and without the approv al of the finance committee, which thus far has been requisite to the success of every amendment, except a minor one, which wont through by default. Early iu the day the sugar schedule was passed over and the agricultural schedule taken up. Less than two pages were disposed of. The para graph on oattlo went over, but the balance of the agricultural schedule, to and including paragraph 22H, was agreed to as reported, all amendments except that of Mr. Bncon being re jected. When the tori ft' bill was taken up, at 12:20 p. iu., Mr. Allison, of Iowa, requested that the snar schedule be passed, stating that it would be con sidered on the Nth. The agricultural schedule being next iu order, was con sidered. Junb 9th. The Senate had a period of tariff speeches, and as a result little progress was mode, on the bill. Butler, of North Carolina, spoke in favor of giving the farmers equal benefits with other classes. No mention was made as to when the sugar schedule would be taken up, and the debate proceeded on the agricultural schedule. On the rice paragraph, Mr. Allison, in charge of the bill, withdrew the committee amendments reducing the House rates, leaving the House rates to utand. Mr. Milh, of Texas, moved to strike out the entire rice paragraph, and substitute a new one, placing a uniform duty of 40 per cent, ad valorem on all grades of rioe; rejected, yeas 111, nays 40. Five Democrats, Messrs. Bocon, Clay, Mc Enery, McLaurin, Tillman, end four Populists, Messrs. Allen, Butler, Iloit field and Stewart, voted with the Re publicans in the negative. The rice paragraph was then agreed to as it came from the House. Rye and rye flour were agreed to as reported. June 10th. The long deferred debate on the sugar schedule of the tariff bill came up, after the Senate had disposed of the cereals in the agricultural sched ule. Jones, of Arkansas, opened the debate, to some extent answering Al drich's statement regarding the sched ule. Tho Senator held that the rates proposed gave the refiners an excessive differential, aud pointed out how they hud thrived on the k differential of the present law. Vest severely criticised the sugar trust aud argued that the rates were a further tribute to its vast resour ces. CufiVry, of Louisiana, also opposed the schedule as a whole. No final ac tion was taken on any feature of the schedule further than the withdrawal of the original Senate coiumitteo amend ments. This leaves the House provis ions of the bill with an amendment in creasing the House differential from .87.1 to .!).' cents per pound. Tillman, of South Carolina, made a lively speech in faver of the amendment-giving an export duty on agricul tural products. He took occasion in this connection to criticise his Demo cratic -associates who were giving a strict and literal construction to the Democratic doctrine of a tax for reve nue only. The bounty amendment was defeated 10 to 59.' , Jcsb 11th. The first test vole on the sugar schedule was taken in the Senate, resulting in the adoption of the Repub lican caucus amendmet changing the House rate to 1.95 per pound, by the close vote of yeas 82, nays 80. The af firmative -vote was made up of 29 Re publicans and one Democrat, McEnery, of Louisiana; one silver Republican, Jones, of Nevada, and one l'opulidt, Stewart, of Nevada. The negative vote was made up of 25 Democrats, 8 Popu lists and 2 silver Republicans. It was the closest vote thus far taken on an is sue of importance, and was accepted as showing that any amendment having the sanction of the caucus was assured of adoption Hoar gave notice for the appointment of the l'resident of a com mission of five persons who shall inves tigate and report at the next session of ' . . . 1 J. 1 1 congress on iuo most nuvunuufeouB methods of producing and refining su gar, and what method will give to the consumers sugar at the least cost. , ' HOUSE.
