The announcement 'h at, the H ouse had * concurred in the Senate amendment 4was made to the Senat.e at 3.10, hut it was 4 o'clock when the enrolled bill was laid on the Vrice-Presidenft's desk for his signature. Imrmediately alter it wias returned to the I louse commit tee on enrolled bills, which committee is charged with the duty o' delivering it to the P'resident for his signature. Th'le President cigned the repeal bill at exactly 4.80 o'clock this atterno)on, and one he--.r a,nd coltty minuoLs ater its passage. It was lirought t.o the~ White hlouse by .lepresenitat.ive Al bert ,J. P'earsion of Ohio, Chiairmian of the H- onsh Com mitte e ol enrolled hills, who had made the trip from the Capi t ol 'n a cable car. Pearson reached the White IIouse at ab'.ut 4,25 anOd was immediately admitted i[itO thie Pres-ueit'e office, while the President was examning the lgures on the re vised vote on the iina passage of the measure. Secretary Carlisle and At torney General Olney were present when the President attached his signa ture. Carlisle had come over to the White Hiouwt to see the final act in the repeal legislation, while Olney had *dropped in to consult the P.residIent on a matter aifectinig -his department. When Pearson presented the enroll ed copy oIf the balL to the President, ox plaining what it wis, Mr. Cleveland Im mediately took up his pen and wrote these words in the lower left band cor ner: "Approved November 1, 1803. Grover Cleveland," and the bill became alaw. I'' Tomorrow the Act will be enterred F , upon the official record at the White House and the engrossed copy of the measure will be sent to the State Do partment for pformanent keeping. Following is the~ more detailed ac count of the proceedings in the IHouse: Tlfere was a large attendance both on the floor and the galleries. Toe open ing prayer was made by the prospeoct. lve Chap lain, Rev. E. B. Bagby of the city of Washington, and the A rat act of the House after the reading of the journal was the adoption of a resolu tion electing him A-i C.haplaion and he immediately took the oath of 0111 The New York bridge bill wit the Senate amendment as paused in the i Senate yesterday was laid before the House. The amendments were non concurred in, and a conference was asked. The silver purchase repeal bill with the Senate amendment was laid before the House and the Senate substitute was iead. Wilson, who had charge of"the bill, moved to concur in the Senate amend ment and on that motion he moved the previous question. Ile assured the friends of silver that he had no desire to press for a vote immediately after the lapse of the half hour which would be allowed for debate on the seconding of the previous question. If the pre vious question could be considered as seconded, h9 was perfectly willing that the half hour might be extended to such reasonable time today as might be desired for debate-say to 3 or 3.30 o'clock. Bland, who leads the opposstion, said that he had no disposition to delay the flnal vote on the bill. Ile hoped, how ever, that its friends would permit it to come up in regular order and to be debated in a regular way. The gentle man in charge of the bill and a major ity with him and could under the rules of the House move the previous ques tion at any time. He did not see the necessity of his demanding the previ ous question on this occasich. It seem ed to him that the gentleman from Wesc Virginia should let the debate go on and when he thought, or when the House thought, that the debate bad gone far enough, he could move the trevious question. Wilson said that the parliamentary difliculty in the way was tnat if he did not move the previous question he would lose control of the bill and the deuate would go on with opportunities for the offering of all ,orts of amend ments. Livingston of Georgia suggest ed that the previous questions be con sidered ordered, that fIve minute speeches be allowed to members to ex plain their votes up to 4 o'clock this af ternoon. Ie did not desire that Wil son should lose control of the [till. Stockdale (Dem.) of Mississippi com plained that the members were in the hands of the member from West Vir ginia and had to get his permision even to make an tuquiry. Wilson said that he had no objection to an inquiry. Stockdale asked whether there were no rights for members of the House except for those who controlled the bill? Had members to ask any man for the precious privilege of exercising their rights as American representa tives? Livingston assured Wilson that the friends of silver did not intend to ob struct the passage of the bill. They were just as anxious to get it out of the way and to go home as the others were. They wanted the Democratic party to be harmonized again if possi ble. [Laughter.] But at the same time the silver men wanted an opportunity to give their votes, and that could be done before 4 o'clock. Wilson said he had practically made that proposition. Livingston: As the chairman of the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures (Bland) does not accept that proposition, I. will accept it. [Laugh ter.] Bryan of Nebraska asked Wilson whether the object of the previous question was to prevent the House from having the chance to vote on amendments that might be offered. Wilson: That is one reason, yes. Bryan. I want the record , o show that those who are in charge of bill are-not willing to have am :.dients voted on. Wilson: The House hais alre;ady vot ed on all amend ments th at were offered on that side, Livingston: I understood the gentle man from West Virginia to agree that amendments might be offered. A chorus of members: Oh, no, noth ing of the sort, Wilson: I made no agreement about ihat. I do not understand whether the gentleman from Missouri, sneaking for his side of the question, has accept ed my proposition or not. Bland: I accept no proposition except the bill shall come up in tne regular way. The Speaker: Object,ion is made and now the question is on seconding tihe previous question. [Ories of "vote, vote."] As the Speaker put the question on Wilson's motilon, Bi-yan began a series of obstructive motions, the mrst being one to adjourn. That was voted down 26 to 180. Then came a motion for a recess till 3 p. in., which was killed, 21 to 191. Then in rapid succession (yeas and nays being refused, and tellers be mng also refused) came mot ions to ad Jouarn till Frilday and till Saturday, and motions to take a recess till various nlours nam"d. '1These obstructive mo tions~ were treated good humoredly by the llouse, and the Speaker countedi I he votes oni each occasion and an noum.cer them wimt h as much serious niess and regularity as if t.h3 imotons were imnportant one.. After some dozeu of them had b)een maide, anud dlisposed of, Wells of Wis ~ons5ini causdd genleral laughlter by in quiring wether the Committee on lllshdnot some ready made rule that would operate in tis case. Soon afterwards a motion was made by Henderson that the Ilouse take a recess of aive minutes in order that the Com mittee on Rules mnighlt bring on a cdo ture rule, but the Speaker said t hat he declined to put the motion. IhInider son's motion was repeatedi within five minutes by Morse of Massacuusetts, arnd Reed remarked that the Comn mittee on Rules had the right to act, "The Chair did not consider the mo tion of the gentleman of Massachusetts as serious,' said the Speaker. "I su pposed he was,' said Reed, and there was a laugh, Finally in the confusion of obstruc tive motions, the Speaker suddenly put the question and declared (amid much hanaclapping ann exultation) that the previous question was ordered. Wilson then took the floor and yield ed ten minutes to Bland. Bland sent to the Cierk's desk and had read an amendment which he had intended to offer, reviving and re-enacting the law of l17 for the unlimited coinage of silver, and wound up) his brief speech of protest by saying that the whole thing was a stock jobbing operation. Bland yielded three minutes of his time to dryan and two minutes tod Wheeler of Alabama. Both of these gentlemen spoke against the bill. Three minutes were given by Wilsnn ;o Springer to state his views in sup >ort of it. Livingston having had two minutes tranted to him, declared his reasons for roting against the bill. One of them was that its passage would enhance the ralue of money and depress the price >f products. Another was that it left I.e financial system of the country to )e determined by international agree nent and to that he was unyieldingly >pposed. After brief sDeeches by Reed and [racy of New York, both of whom fa ror the bill, Wilson closed the discus ion. The argument, he said, hat end ,d; and judgment had been recorded with an emphasis which could not be iiisunderstood. Nothing which could )e said now could either strengthen or weaken the position of the measure. lie had recognized from the beginning )f the contest that there had been an ionest difference of opinion on the nleasure-that those who had opposed .t and those who favored it were lion )st, sincere and patriotic. Which side was right, the future alone would in licate. If the passage of the bill ;hould bring about a small part of those blessings to the country which is friends proposed; if it would re store confidence and enterprise, and bring prosperity to the people, then the judgment of its friends would be jus. iled and its opponents would stand before history as men of honest, pa. 'riotic, but mistaken judgment. If, on the other hand, it should bring jut one-tenth part of the evils which Its vnemies prophesied, then the judg ment of its opponents would be just., ind its friends Would stand before his 'ory as honest, patriotic, but mistaken men. [Applause.] Bland moved to recommit the bill with in4tructions to report back the imend nent which he bad indicRted reviving the free coinage Act of 1837). Ltejected. The question was then taken on con murring in the Senate substitute and it was concurred in. The result was an iounced acid heard without any de nonstration. After a few moments levoted to unimportant business, the [louse, at 4:15, adjurned until to-mior ow at noon. A Good Showing. COLU31A, S. C., Nov. 1.--Yesterday marking the close of the fiscal of 1892 M8 the Secretary of State compiled his trnuat report of the charters issued luring the year and a remarkably good 'howing, considering the hard timai is made as compared to the preceding year. Less charters were issued than Juring the year before, but the aggre gate capital invested in them exceeds the preceding year by over two mi lions of dollars. Last year 124 com missions were issued with a total of 79 charters. This year 122 com'nisions went out with a total of 72 charters. The aggregate capital invested in the 79 companies inaugurated last year. in cluding of course, the increase in capi tal stock of several concerns previous ly chartered, was $4,969,750 as against 17,413,000 for this year. This is a good showing, but it is impossible, of course to tell from these figures whether the various concerns have been making or Losing money on the capital invested. [t shows however that the people of :,he State have not been afraid to in vest ,heir money in new enterprises and ,hat South Carolina is still keeping up n the onward march of progress. The Attorney General has nearly completed lis annual report. It will be one of the most interesting to be issued this wear. The report of 'the Attorney [eneral on the Port Royal and Augus ta railroad case resulting in the unbot tling of Port Royal, will occupy a gooI leal of space. In this report, too, will be found a sketch of all the cases in which the legal department of the State administration has been con cerned. More cases have been handled by the present incumbent in oflice than by any predecessors and the summary will be interesting. The report will show a very heavy bill for thte print ing of briels, etc.,lin all those cases. There has hbeen so much of this that the appropriation has been insuflicient to meet the bills5. Adjutant General Farley and Superintendent oi 10duca tion Mayfield are both hard at work finishing up their reports and expect to have them through in time.-State. A Monster.

ALL ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THI COAT-OF-ARMS. Found In Dravton's Memoirs by Mr. Thec D. Jorvey--Exceedingly Interestinj Reading for Houth Caroliniana. COLUMBHA, S. C., Nov. 1.-Gover nor Tillman has been trying for month to get an accurate history of the coat c arms of South Carolina. A few dayi ago Governor Tillman heard that Mr Theodore D. Jervey could give him i great deal of Lhe information he was I search of, an1 he accordingly wrote tc him requesting him to send him what ever data he had accured. Yesterdai the Governor received the following re ply. CIHAULSTON, S. C., Oct. 28, 1893 His Excellency. B. R. Tillman, Gov ernor South Carolina. Columbia S. C: Dear Sir-Your letter of 27th was re ceived by me today, and I answer al once. In volume 2, Drayton's Memoirs, page 372, appears the following account which I quote: "So soon as the government unde: the constitution of March, 1776, wai organized, the necessity of having I public seal became evident and on mo ton in the General Assembly it wai resolved "That His Excellency th4 President and commander in chief, b. and with the advice and consent o the privy council may, and he is here by authorized to design and caulle t< be made a great seal of South Caroli na, and until such an one can be mad4 to fix upon a temporary pub.ic seal. "In pursuance of this esolution Wil ham Henry DrayLon and some of thi privy council were carged with de signing the great seal and causing ii to be made; and in the meantime i temporary public seal was adopted bj the President and privy council loi purposes of the State. "The first use of this temporary sea (which appears to have been the sea at arms of the President) was fo commissioning the civil officers of gov ernment and for a pardon Issued b President Iutledie, dated 1st of May 1776, in favor of a person who ha been convicted of manslaughter befor Chief Justice William Henry Dryton and his associated Justices at a cour commenced in Charleston of the 23< of April, 1776. In ihese commissions i was called his (the President's) seal, bu in pardoos and other instruments it wa afterwards called the temporary seal c the said colony or the temporary publi seal; and it was used through that tim of the year 1776 until about the 22ad o May, 1877, end on that President Rul ledge isued a pardon uuder "seal of tb said State,' omitting the word 'tempo rary,' whence there is reason for believ ing the groat seal was then made; an( from that time the temporary seal doei not appear to have been used. (Gover nor John Drayton remembers seeing the die brought to his fathur in Charleston. "The device for the armorial achieve ment and reverse to the great seal of the State of South Carolina is as follows Arms, a|palmetto tree growing on the sei 3hore street; at its base a torn-up oak tree its branches lopped off, prostra e; both proper. Just below the brnches of the palmetto two shieldf pendent, one o them on the dexter side is inscribem 'March 26,' the other on the sinister side 'July 4th.'

Under the prostrate oak is insribedl 'Meliorerr Lapsa Locavit,' below which appears it large fi'iures, '1776.'

The Notaries Public. COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 2.-Elsewher in The Register this morning is put lished a proclamation by Governo Tillman with reference to the Notarte Public of the State in which the con missions issued prior to 1889 are re voked. In a general way the proch mation is self-explanatory. In speak Ing of the subject more particularl Governor Tillman said that the com miesions of the Notaries P ublic havinj , no limitations as to time there was ii way of telling who they are or hoi many of them are in the State, some o the commission now in force datinj back forty and fifty years. Some o r the Notaries have abused their privi leges and are unfit to hold their com missions many of them being appoint ed in Radical times, It is an eas matter in many instances for Notarie Public to be guilty of fraud in colit sion with some one else, and the Gov ernor says there should be characl e behind these commissions as beliim everything else. The Governor's ac tion in this matter is unusual if' no unprecedented, but as the Notarie Public only hold ofice "during the pleasure of the Governor" he has thi right to do it in the exercise of his dis cretion and lie thinks he has sutticien reasons for his action in the premises The Governor will ask the Lezish ture to pass an Act limiting the term of Notaries Public to five years. I this way the State will be able to kee track more closely of the olicials : creates.-Register. Wasa Judgement. BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-Rev. Dr. Ier ry M.

To dislodge 5 them Gen. Margallo led out 2,000 Infan - try from the fort. The 1tiflins in the 7 trenches hell them in check until rein 3 forcements, G,001 stroncy, were brought up from the main body, about a mile back in the hills. The tribesmen' then had some 11,000 warriors. They ; stretched out their line, apparently for the purpose of securing Margallo, and at one time the fishting extended along a three mile frout. Margallo tried to ) break the centre of their line, and r charged with half his men, but was re pulsed, with heavy losses. Just as the order for retreat was given. Gen. MAirgallo fell tven his horse, shot through tue heart. iiis body was car lied by his men from the field, and lies now in the citadel at Melilia.

This morning he led out 3,000 men and drove the Itifl.Ans from the trenches which the hpaniards were occupying when the last dispatches were received. The coi nandcr o tile Spanish cuiser Conde de Venadito has telegr report, in which lie said: "The Arabs approacled so near at times that their bullets reached our deck."

Orders lave been issued for three regi ments of cavalry and four battalinns of infantry to eibark at once for Melilla. L,aIte this evening more details of the battle were made pulic. The Riffians despite the heavy artillery fire, came within twenty yards of Fort Cabrerizas. They maintained a constant fusilade, and foughlt throughout the ba.tle with auditeous bravery.
