A Tight Place. / by It was a gay time in Congress one art night when there was an all-night mc session on the Mills tariff bill in 1SSS. tai ^ It had been difficult to keep a suffi- ] dent attendance, atid the House had coi adopted a resolution directing the ser- inc seant-atarms to pompel the presence thf of absent members. One by one they as were brought before the bar of the thf House, and after making all sorts of tbi excuses and explanations, were permitted to go unpunished. About miduight Congressman Hen- ] derson was brought before the Jik speaker. He had, he said, no excuse lac to offer. in * "I was at a theatre party," he con- mc tkiued, "when I was arrested and tur brought here.

N. F. Walker's Annual Report as Superintendent Submitted tc State Superintendent of Education. State Superintendent Martin has received the 56th annual report of the State institution for the education of the deaf, dumb and blind. The board of commissioners through the. chairman. Col. T. .1. Moore, have recommended that the legislature make the following appropriations for the year 1905: For support, J24.000; for repairs, |500; for insurance. $1,444. The institutions has departments for white and for colored children. There are nine teachers of the deaf and four for the blind. In addition there are teachers of painting, drawing and music, foreman of printing office, fore i man of shoe shop, master of wood shop, master of shop for blind boys and instructor of industrial department for girls. In his annual report, the superintendent. Capt, X. F. Walker, gives an interesting historical sketch of the institution. from which he makes the deduction that less than a hundred years ago the defectives of all classes were considered alike?mutes and imbeciles being regarded alike by the people at iarge. But the work of the State Institution at Cedar Springs has made it clear that the unfortunates defective in hearing and sight alone are people of a high order of consciousness and intelligence. "It is very gratifying for us to know," say6 Superintendent Walker, rhat a large number of our alumni are worthy and self supporting citizens and taxpayers of the State?preachers, teachhousekecpers. etc. The school is now well equipped in all its different departments for the advancement of the intellectual, moral and physical development of the pupils." During the last scholastic year 179 pupils were enrolled, 116 deaf and 63 blind; 122 white and 57 colored. There was only one death, that of little Mary Jones of'Saluda, a mute who had just entered the school. There was no other illness in the school and there has not been a case of continued fever in the school for 30 years. The appropriation last year was a little more than the amount asked for in the report, for a laundry, fully equipped, has been added to the plant, and other improve nients were made.

The railroad commission's decision made public last week practically dismisses the petition of the various commercial bodies of the State for the reduction in inter-Statee rates on the ground that these rates are excessive and oppressive and above what they are in North Carolina and Virginia, and therefore give Virginian cities undue advantage in this territory over Charleston and other South Carolina distributing points. The decision is a great surprise to those who have been working for a reduction in the rates now for over a year, as they had been confidently expecting a victory. In the standard cotton tariff a straight rate of 35 cents is made for over ten miles, in the fertilizer tariff the rate is made straight $2,75 instead of a rate ranging between $2,75 and $3,05 and in the rate of flour in barrels there is a paraller reduction of two cents on each haul period of ten miles.

Greetings Between Members, the Great Floral Display and Numbers of Beautifully Gowned Women Among the Visitors Made a Familiar but Always Interesting Scene? Resolutions of Respect For Deceased Senators. Washington. Special.?With the Senate in session 12 minutes and the House 53 Minutes, the last session of the 58th Congress was assembled today. The time of both bodies was devoted entirely to the usual formalities attended by scenes, familiar, but always interesting. There were the greetings between members, the great floral display and the hundreds of visitors, with beautifully gowned wo men predominating. Corridors, committee rooms and cloak rooms were thronged. The hustle extended even i to the floors of the chambers, although no weighty legislative problems await- ; ed solution. Reading of the Message. ! After listening to the residing of the j | President's annual message to Con ' press the House adjourned until Wed- , ' nesday. During the first 10 minutes I of the session two minor routine mat- ; | ters were disposed of. but out side of ; these no other business was transacted. Shortly af'er the clerk hegan to read j the message printed copies were dis- j tributed among the members. Democrats and Republicans alike gave close attention to the utterances of the President and with the aid of the pimped copies intently followed the cierk in the reading. Upon the conclusion of the leading j of the message, which consumed one | hour and S3 minutes, there was loud I applause from the Republican side. The message, on motion of Mr. , Payne, was referred to the committee . of the whole House on the State of the Union, after which the House ad', j journed. In the Senate. The Senate was in session for mora i than two hours, and in addition to ! listening to the reading of the President's message received a preliminary report from the merchant marine com* i mission, witnessed the induction of Senators Knox and Crane into office, and in executive session referred thd presidential nominations to the proper committees. Work of Wednesday. Upon the conventing the House, Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, from the committee on appropriations, reported the legislative, executive and judicial bill, and gave notice that he ; would call the bill up for consideration j , immediately after the reading of the ' ! ionrnal. The House, on motion of Mr. ! , Payne, of New York, went into com; mittee of the whole for the purpose of | referring certain portions of the Pres; ident's message to the respective comi mittees having jurisdiction of the several subjects. As soon as this was done, the House adjourned until tomorrow. In the Sentate. The Senate Wednesday reached a decision to take a vote on the Philipj pine civil government bill, providing I for the construction of railroads on the I islands on the 16th instant, and in ad: dition transacted considerable other I business. Mr. Piatt, of New York created something of a stir by introducing a bill providing for a reduction of the congressional representation of the Southern States on the ground that many of the citizens of those States are deprived of their right to vote, and Mr. [ Scott plunged the Senate into an ex- : j ceptionally early debate by attempting 1 I to secure the passage of the bill grant- I J ing pension to the telegraph operators j ; of the civil war. The debate was not concluded. A large number of bills and joint resolut1on3#were introduced, and many petitions presented. Tlie discus- j sion of the time for voting upon the Philippine bill brought out the fact that j there is a general understanding that ! j the Christmas holiday reecss will begin j on the 10th instant. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. The annual fight on the Civil Service j Commission was begun in the House Thursday during consideration of the legislative appropriation bill. The opposition came from Messrs. Bartlett. of Georgia, Hepburn, of Iowa, and Grosvenor, of Ohio. The legislative bill was scrutinized carefully in consonance with the President's recommendation against extravagance, Mr. Bingham, in chaise of the bill, was required constantly to explain some particular appropriation. The pay of the stenographers to committees of the House was reduced from $5,000 per annum to $3,000, and the T4/ii>ca Tpfiiwii to acrynt the Drovision increasing the pay of the secretary to ' the Civil Service Commission. But: little progress was made on the bills. ; The House Friday passed the legis lative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill practically as it came from the committee and adjourned until Monday. With the disposal of the provisions relating to the CiviJ Service Commission, winch yeeterday caused so much discussion and critir cism. there was no Jengihy debate on any item today. Throughout the session the policy of retrenchment held full sway, and all attempts to increase salaries failed. By the terms of a concurrent resolution, which was adopted, the House agreed to adjourn on Dec. 21 until Jan-' uary 4. 1905, for the usual Christmas i holidays. IN THE SENATE. The Senate h^ld only a short session j Thursday, and adjourned until Monday. ^ * I 4". I During the open session an attempt to secure consideration o; a pura food bill was defeated by a demand of air. Aldrich that the bill be read at length, which brought an objection from Mr. Tillman, who did not want the time consumed. Mr. Tillman brought the case of William D. Crum, the colored man nominated for collector of Charleston, a C., into prominence by asking for a report from the committee on judiciary as to the status of recess appointments, such as that made in Crums case in the first and second sessions of the present Congress.

PETEIS 4^H Great Anti-Governmdht Derronstra-^ tion and Measure* Taken to Suppress It Caused Excitement Unequaled Since the Riots 1901? Previous Warning* in the Newspapers Only Served to Swell the Crowd of Students. Workmen and Young Women. St. Petersburg, By Cable.?A popular anti-government demonstration, tfc* participants in which included large numbers of students of both sexes, began at midday Sunday in the Nevsky prospect and lasted about two hours. Hundreds of police and mounted gendarmes, who were hidden in the court yard of the public buildings, emerged and suddenly charged the crowd at full gallop, duving tbe demonstrators in headlong confusion and screaming with terror upon the sidewalks and into adjacent streets. This led to serious encounters, 50 persons being more or less severely injured. Large numbers were arrested. Not since the riots of 1901, when Cossacks, stretched across the Navski prospect from building to building, charged down the boulevard from the Moscow station to the Neva, has the Russian capital lived through such a day of. excitement as this. The authorities lasi night got wind of the big aati-goveiw. ment demonstration planned for today by the Social Democratic party to demand an immediate end of the war and the convocation of a national assembly and this evening in every paper?Sin black-face type wa3 an explicit warning to tbe people, at their peril, to desist from congregating in the NevcL'l nrnc noet nmr r Vin l^ncnon Pith P dral. At the game time extesive preparations were made to quell any disturbance. The police on the Nevski prospect were increased six times over and the devorniks, or house porters, were marshaled in front of their respective buildings. Half a dozen squadrons of mounted gendarmes were massed in the rear of. the Gasean Cathedral, and battaliops of reserve police were stationed in several court yards out of sight. Minister of the Interior Sviatopolle-Mirsky gave strict orders, however, that no Cossacks should be used and the chief of police issued explicit directions to avoid harsh measures unless it should become absolutely necessary. Thfe newspaper warning, however, by giving notice to those not apprised of the prospect of a demonstration, defeated the very object of which they were designed, attracting seemigly the whole population of this vast city to the broad tbroughfare; and long before the hour fixed, despite the pleading of the poiice, who literally lined the J sidewalks, the throngs on the pave- ^ ments were so dense that movement was almost impossible, whilo the snowcovered boulevard was black with a tangled mass of sleighs, filled mostly r * - 1 T _ nn ?ha Willi toe curiuus. m tuiuu^a vu vu? sidewalks, were practically the whole student body of the capital, Including many young women, who have always been prominent in Russia in revolutionary movements, and also thousands of workmen belonging to the Social Labor party. Towards 1 o'clock the workmen and students seemed to swarm toward the corner of the Hotel Europe, opposite the Gasean Cathedral. The police, recognizing that the critical moment was approaching, tried in vain to keep back the human tide. ThM. when there was not a single mounted policeman in sight, on the strike o'clock, from the heart of the thickly*^ wedged crowd a blood red flag, like a jet of flame, suddenly shot up. It was the signal. Other flags appeared in the crowd, waving frantioally overhead; and they were greeted with a hoarse road, "Down with autocracy." The students surged into the street, singing the "Marseillaise." while innocent spectators, seeking to extricate themselves crowded into doorways and hugged walls. Dismounted police made a slnelfc attemnt to form their wav into tb? crowd to wrest the flags from the de monstrators. but tne stuaenis aim workmen, armed with sticks, stood close and beat back their assailants. , Then, like a flash, from behind the Kasean Cathedral, came a squadron of gendarmie. The doors of adjoining court yards were thrown back, and battalions of police came out. A double squadron charged the flank of the demonstrators with drawn sabres. Five other squadrons circled the mob, cuttins through tne frinas of sepctators. who gladly scurried to cover. The main wedge of the demonstrators stood fast only a moment or two. There w-as a sharp rattle of cudgels and sabres, though the wounds showed that the police struck principally with the flat of their sabres.- The women ~ acnooiniiv fierce In their resis WOIC toj/v,v?.v ? tance. Many were struck and trampled, and blood streamed down tbelr faces. While the mob stood, those within managed to throw hundreds of revolutionary proclamations over the heads of their fellows. The police urged their horses fiercely into the crowd, driving those who resisted into the court yards, the Hotel Europe and the Catholic Church. The intense excitement lasted about ten minutes, after which mounted squadrons of the ron'1 armaria ctreoia and the policemen devoted themselves to keeping the crowd movingj Considering the sharp fight the rioters had up, the police acted humanely with the crowd, avoiding brutality and roughness in keeping the throng moving, and showing really more consideration than the police of many cities would under similar circumstances. In the meantime those confined in the court yards, who were recognized as agitators, were arrestad, but others were allowed to go quietly home, the wounded first having t'aeir injuries dressed.
