THE ROYAL GARDEN Kev. Dr. Ttlmi Talks of !he Flowera ot the Church. - - - ~ 1 Brooklyn, juiy 1.?nsv. jjr. jl?image, who is dow nearing Australia on , his round the world journey, has Ee- , lected a* the subject; for his sermon! through the press today "The lloyal _ __ Garden," the test being taken from Solomon's Song v, 1 4'I am come Into my garden." The world has bad a ?reat many beautiful gardens. Charlemagne added to the glory ot his reign by dtcreeiog that they be established all through the realm? decreeing even the names ot the flowers . . to te planted there. Henry IV, at Moutpellier, established gardens of bewitching beauty and loxariacce, gathering into them A'pioe, Pyrenean and French plants. One of the sweet ests spots on earth was the garden of Shenatone, the poet. His writings have - - ?*- u made bat little impression on tae worm, but his garden, uTbe Leasowes," will be immortal. To the natural advantage ot that place was brought the perfection of art. Arbor and terrace and slope and rustic temple and reservoir and urn and fountain here and their crowning. Oik and yew and hazel put forth their richest foliago. There was no life more diligent, no soul more ingenious than that of Shenstone, and all that diligence and genius were brought to the adornment of that one treasured spot. He gave ?300 for it. He sold it for ?17,000. And yet I am to tell you of a richer garden than any I have mentioned. It Al? ?nVnrnh ih rhf. 1$ LIL13 gaiU3U vi DUO vaufcwu) garden spoken of in my text, which be lengs to Christ, lor my test says so. He bought it, he planted it, he owns it, and he shall have it. Walter Scott, in hia outlay at AbboLaford, ruined his fortune. And now in the crimson flowers of those gardens you can almost think or imagine that you see the blood of that old man's broken heart. The payment of the last ?100,000 sacrificed him. But I "?- have to tell you that Christ's life and Christ's death were the outlay of this beautiful garden of the church of which my text speaks. Oh, how, many sighs find tears and pangs and agonies! Tell me, je women.who saw him hang! Tell me, ye executioners who lifted him and i let him down! Tell me, tnou sun mat. didst hide ye reeks that fel! l,Chri3t loved the church and gave himself for it." If, then, the garden of the church belongs to Christ, certainly he has a right to walk in it. Gome, then, O blessed Jesus, this mora in?, walk up and down these aisles and pluck what thou wilt of sweetness for thyself. The church, in my text, is appropriately compared to a garden, because it is a place of choice flowers, select fruits and of thorough irrigation. That would be a strange garden in which there were no flowers. If nowhere else, they will be a long the borders or at the gateway. The homeliest taste will dictate somethiag, if it be the old fash, ioned hollyhock or dahlia or daffodil or coreopsis, but if there be larger means then you will find the Mexican cactus and dark veined arbuteiion and blazing azalea and clustering oleander. Well, now, Christ comes to his garden, and he plants there some of the brightest spirits that ever flowered upon the world. Some of them are violets, utconsplcuou3, but sweet in heaven. You have to search for such spirits to find them. You do not see them very often perhaps, but you find where they have been by the brightening face of the invalid, and the sprig of geranium on the stand, and the window curtains keeping out the glare of the sunlight. Thsy are perhajra more like the ranunculus, creeping sweetly along amid the thorns and briers of life, giving kiss frtf otinrr or>/1 monv a man whn hns had in his way some great black rock of trouble has found that they have covered it all over with flowering jasmine running in and out amid the crevices. These Christians in Christ's garden are noi like the sunGower, gaudy ia light, but whenever darknes3 hovers over a scul that ' needs to be comforted there they stand, night blooming cereuses. J3ut m Christ's garden there are plants that may be bettier compared to the Mexican caclus? thorns without, loveliness within?men with sharp points of character. They wound almost every one that touches them. They are hard to handle. Men pronounce them nothing but thoins, but Christ loves them, notwithstanding all their sharpneses. Many a man has had very hard ground to culture, and it has only been through severe toil he has raised even the smallest crop of grace. Avery harsh minister was talking with a very placid elder, and the placid elder said to the harsh minister, "Doctor, 1 do wish you would control your temper." "'Ah," said the minister to the elder, "I control more temper in live minutes than you do in five years." It is harder for some men to do rigLt than for others to do right. The grace that would elevate you to the seventh heaven might not keep vour brother from knock lag a man down. I had a friend who came to me and said, "I dare not join the church." I said, "Why?" "Ob," he said, "I have such a violent temper. Yesterday morning I was crossing very aarlv at the Jersey City ferry, and"! .jaw a milkman pour a large amcunt of water into the milk can, and I said to him, 'I think that will do,' and be insulted me, and I knock him down. Do you think I ought to join the chnrcfc?': Xever .heless that very same man. who wss so -?? harsh m his behavior, loved Christ and could not speak of sacred things without tears of cmotioa and affection. Thorns without, but sweetness within?the best specimen of Mexican cactus I ever saw. There are others planted in Christ's garden who are always ardent, always radiant, always impressive?more like the roses of deep hn? ihat wis occasion any nna canea "giams 01 aaiue"?tae Martin Lnthers, St. Pauls, Chrysostoms Wyklils, Latimers and Samuel Rather fords. What in other teen is a spark, in them is a conflagration. When they sweat, they sweat great drops cf blood. When they pray, their prajer take? fire. When they preach, it is a Peniocost. When they fight, it is a Thermopile. When they die, it is a martyrdom. You find a great many roses in the gardens, but only a few "giants of battle." Men say, "Why don't you have more of them m the church?" I say, "Why don't yon baye in the world more Napo c leons and Kumboidat and Wellington*'?" God gives to some tfc tatenls, to another one. In lhi3 aarden of the church, which Christ ba3 planted, I al?o Cod the snow drop3, beauttful bat cold looking, seem inglj another phase cfihe winter. I I mean those Christians who are precise in their tastes, uuimpassioned, pure as snowdrops and as cold. They never shsd any tears; they never get excited; the never say anything rashly; they never do anything precipitately. Their pulses never flutter; their nerves uev&r twitch; their indignation never boils over. Thev live longer than most people, but their life is in a minor kev. They never run uo to ,kC" above the staff. In the music of their life laey Davs UU SUtCViiUV vuiwii planted them in the church, and they must be of 3ome service, or they would not be there. Snowdrops, always snowdrops. But I have not told \on of the most beautiful (bwer in all the garden spoken cl" in the text. Ii ycu see a "century plant," ycur emotions are started. You say, "Why, this llowerlns been a hundred years gathering up for one bloom, and it will be a hundred jcar3 more before other petals will come out." But I have to tell y&u of a plant that wa3 gathering up from all eternity, and that 1.900years ago put forth its bloom never 1 1 " i T?- e\ noooirm i] MTPr f>f !LO Yll?UCi . ill is wn |woiw U ^v. ?. the cro3&! Prophets foretold it. Bsthlehera shepherds looked on it in the bud the rocks shook at its bursting, and the dead got up in their winding sheets to see its full bloom. It 13 a crimson llower?blood at the roots, blood on the branches, blood on all the leaves. lis perfume is to fill all the nations. Its touch is life. lis breath is heaven. Come O winds, jr-;m the north and wln-'s from ice ?cuih and winas fcomthe east and winds from ths west, and | bear to all the earth the sweet smelling I savor of Christ, my Lord. His worth, if all the nations icnew, Sure the whole earth would love him too. Again the church may be appropriately compared to a garden, because it is a place of select fruits. That would be a strange gafdeu which had in it no berries, no plums, ao peaches oranricots. The coarser fruits planted in the orchard or they are set out on the sunny hillside, but the choicest fruits are kept in the garden. So ia the world outside the church Christ has planted a great many beautiful things?patience, c"iarity, generosity, integrity?but he intends the choicest I fraita to ba in the warden, and if ihey are not there then shame on the church. Religion is cot a mere flowering sentimentality. It is a practical life giving, healthful fruit?not posies, but apples. "Oo," ssys somebody, "I don't see what your garden of the church has yielded." Where did your asylums come from, and your hospitals, and your institutions of mercj? Christ planted every one of them. He planted them in his garden. When Christ gave sight to Bartimeus, he laid the cornerstone ot every blind asylum that has ever beeu built. When Christ soothed the demoniac cf Galilee, he laid the cornerstone of every lunatic asylum that has ever been established. When Christ said to the sick man, "Take up thy bed and walk," he laid the cornerstone of every hospital the world has ever seen. When Christ said, "I was in prison, and ye visited me," he laid the cornerstone of every prison reform association t&at nas everbeen formed, Tbe church of Christ is a glorious garden and it is full of fruit. I know there is some poor fruit in it. I know there are some weeds that ought to have been thrown over the fence. I know there are some crab apple trees that ought to be cut down. I know there arc some wild grapes that ou?ht to be uprooted, but are you going to destroy the whole*garden because of a Utile gnarled fruit? You will find worm saten leaves in Fontainebleau and injects that sting in the fairy groves of the Champs Elyees. You do not tear down " * - *- .-J and destroy tne wnoie garueu uc^auso there are a few specimens of gnarled fruit. I admit there are men and women in the church who ought not to be there" 1 bui let us be just a3 frank and admit the j fact that there are hundreds and thousj ands and tens of thousands of glorious Christian men and women holy, blessed, useful, consecrated and triumphant. There is no grander collection in all the earth than the collection of Christians. There are Christian men in the church whose religion i3 not a matter of psalm singing and church going. Tomorrow morning that religion will keep them J i- J nr\ I | ]QSt- as COUSiaieuu auu vu | "exchange" as it ever kept them at the communion table. There are women m : the chnrch of a higher type of character than Mary of Bethany. They not only sit at the feet of Christ, but they go out into the kitchen to help Martha in hsr work, that she may sit there too. There is a woman who has a drunken husband, who has exhibited more faith and patience and courage than Hugh Latimer I m the fire. He was consumed in 20 J minutes. Hers has been a 20 years' martyrdom. Yonder is a man who has ! lain 15 years on bis back, unable even | to feed himself, yet calm and peacelui as though he lay on one of the green banks of heaven, watching the oarsmen dip their paddle3 in the crystal rivei! Why, it seems to me this moment as it Paul threw to us a penologist's catalogue of the fruits growing in this great garden of Christ?love, .j 3y, peace, patience, charity, brotherly kindness, gentleness, mercy?glorious fruit, enough to fill all the baskets of earth and heaven. I have not told you of the better tree in this garden and of the better fruit. It was planted just outside Jerusalem a nrKilo aern Whpn ihftt tree WES TT UUV F T ? planted, it was so split and bruised and barked men said nothing would ever grow upon it, but no sooner had that tres been planted ' than it' budded and blossomed and fruited, and the soldiers' spears were only the clubs that struck down that fruit, and it fell into the lap of the nations, and men began to pick it up and eat it, and they found it an antidote to all thirst, to all : *.11 ein trt oil r?AQfVl t.hft tu an oiU) fcv/ Mil uvmvu KMV smallest cluster larger than the famous one of Eschol. which two men carried on a staff between them. If the one apple in Eden killed Lhe race, this one cluster of mercy shall restore it. Again, the church in my text is appropriately called a garden because it is thoroughly irrfgated. gardeo could prosper loag without plenty of water. I noire sAPn ? <rarden in the midst of a deseirt, yet blooming and luxuriant. All around was dearth and barrenness, but there were pipes, aqueducts reaching from this garden up to the mountains, and through these aqueducts the water came streaming down and tossing up into beautilul fountains until every root and leaf and ilower wa3 saturated. That is like the church. The church is a garden in the midst of a great desert of sin and sunermg. it is weu irriijaieu, iur "our eyes are onto the hills, from whence cometh our help." From the mountains of God's strength there ilow down rivers of gladness. There is a river the stream thereof shall make glad the city of cur God. Preaching the gospel is one of these aqueducts, The Bible is another. Baptism and the Lord's supper are aqueducts. Water to slake the thirst, water to restore the faun, water to wash the uncIeaD, water tossed high up in the light of the sun of righteousness showing us the rainbow around the throne. Oh, was there ever a garden so thoroughly irrigated? You know the beauty of Versailles and Chats worth depends very much on the great supply cf water. I came to the latter place (Chatsworth) one day when straogers are not to be admitted, bat by an in- | ducemen!, which always 3eemed as ap- | plicableto an Englishman as aa Amer- j ican, I got in, and then the gardener went far up above the etairs of stone and turned on the water. I saw it gleaming on the dry pavement coming down from step to step; until it came so near 11 could hear the musical rush, and all over the high, broad stairs it came 1 - - - ? j ? ?.j 11 ; foaming, nasDing, roaring uowu uuui i sunlight and wave in gleesome wrestle j tumbled at my feet. So it is with the church of God. Everything comes from above?pardon from above, joy from above, adoption from above, sanctification from above. Oh, that now God would turn on the waters ci" salvation that they might ilow down through his heritage and that this day we might each find ;our places to be "Elims," with 12 wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees. Hark, I hear the latch at the garden gate, and I look to see who is coming! I hear the voice of Christ, '1 am come into my garaem. i say: - ^uuie m, v Jesus; we have been waitiuz for thee Walk all through these paths. Look at the flowers; look at the fruit. Pluck that which thou will for thyself." Jesus comes into the garden and up to that old man and touches him and says: "Almost home, father. Xot many more aches for thee. I will never leave thee. I will never forsake thee. Take courage a little longer, acd I will stand thy totteriog step3, and I will soothe thy troubles and give thee rest. Courage, old man." Then Christ goes up another garden path, and he comes to a soufin trouble and says: "Peace; all is weli! I have seen thy tears; I have heerd thy prayer. The " ^ ' 11 ? ? r?Tr tho sun snsn cob suiue bue uy u?y, uut kuc moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. lie will preserve thy soul. Courage, () troubled spirit!" Then 1 see Jesus going up another garden path, and I see great excitement among the leaves, and I hasten up that garden path to see what Jesus is doing there, and. lo, he is breaking off flowers, sharp and clean, from the steam, and I say, "Stop, don't kill those beautiful flowers." He turns to me and says: "I have come into my garden to gather lilies, and I mean to take these up to a higher terrace and for the garden around my palace, and there 1 will plant them and in better ----- m, _i?1) i- KM*rr(ifar sir's xuey suctu jjui iviwu unguwvi leaves and sweeter redolence, and no frost shall touch them forever." And I looked up into his face and said: ''Well, it is his garden, and he has a right to do what he will with it. Thy will be done"?the hardest prayer a man ever made. JL notice that the fine gardens sometimes have high fences arouud them, and I cannot get in. It is so with the king's garden. The only glimp3es you ever get of such a garden is when the king rides out in his splendid carriage. It is not so with this garden the king's garden. I throw wide open the gate and tell you all to come in. No monopoly in religion. Whosoever will, may choose now between a desert and a garden. Many of you have tried the garden of this world's delight. You have found ic has been a chagrin. So it was with Theodore Hook. He made all the world laugh. He makes us laugh now when we read his poems, but he could not make his own heart laugh. While in the midet of his festivities, he confronted a looking glass, and he saw himself and said: "There, thati3 true. Hook just as I am, done up in body, mind and purse." So it was with Shenstone, of whose garden I told at. thA hwrinninc of mv sermon. He sat down amid.those bowers and said: "I have lost my road to happiness I am angry and envious and frantic ana despise everything around me, just as it becomes a madman to do." Oh, ye weary souls, come into Christ's garden today and pluck a little heartsease! Christ is the only rest and the pardon for a perturbed spirit. Do you not think your chance has almost come? You men and women wno have been waiting year and after year for some good opportunity in which to accept Christ, but have postponed it 5,10, 20,30 years, do you not feel as if now your hour of deliverance and salvation had come ? Oh, man, what grudge hast thou against thy poor soul that thou wilt not let it be saved? I feel as if salvation must come now to some of your hearts. Some years ago a vessel struck on the rocks. They had only one nieDoat. m that lifeboat the passengers and crew were getting ashore. The vessel had foundered and was sinking deeper, and deeper, and that one boat could not take the passengers very swiftly. A little girl stood on the deck, waiting for her turn to get into the boat. The boat came and went?came and went? but her turn did not seem to come. After awhile she could wait no longer, and she leaped on the taffrail and then sprang into the sea, crying to the boatman: "Save me next! Save me next!" Oh, how many have gone ashore Into God's mercy, and yet you are clinging to the wreck of sin! Others have accepted the pardon of Christ, but you are in peril. Why not this morning mate a rush for your immortal rescue, crying until Jesus shall hear you and heaven and earth ring with the cry: "Save me next!" "Save me next!" Completely Ex jnerat 3d. Columbia, S. C., July 5?The judiciary committee of the State .Farmers' Alliance, consisting of Norman Eld er of York, Ool.D. K. Norris of Anderson, the Rev. J. A. Slight of Newberry and John Gadson of Aiken, met^in this city yesterday for the purpose of invesigating the management of the A PvftVion hxr P/?] T*i 1* OLfcilC X3LlliC*Lll/U JLiAUUC*H5^ *j j vv* Jhr* . . Duncan. The investigation was asked for by Col. Duncan. The committee, after a session of several hours, during which it went through all of the books of the exchange, made up its - report, and will for ward it to the president of the Alliance, Senator W. If. Evans. The report will show that Col. Duncan's management of the exchange has been entirely satisfactory and that none of the charges brought against him are true. For some time the Piedmont Headlight, the organ of Stanyarne Wilson, who is opposing Col. Duncan for Congress in the Fourth district, has been maklnc all kinds of charges agaiDst the manager of the State Alliance Exchange. In tbe issue of June 2 several columns were devoted to these changes, and some of them were particularly heavy. .Because the Alliance Exchanee advertises its price list in the Cotton Plant at a cost of $480 a year, Gantt charged that this money had been used by Col. Duncan to buy out the Cotton Plant as his organ to be used tor his political purposes. Gantt also charged that Col. Duncan tried to extort from the Ailiancemen a profit of 61.85. per ton more for guano than private parties bought the same goods for. Gantt also charged that Col Duncan had oeen selling sewing machines at $19.75 which bad been bought by outside parties elsewhere for less than $16. and which Duncan had confessed had cost only $17. He charged that Duncan had been making $2.75 clear profit on each machine, and that not a nickel of the profit had gone into the treasury of the exchange. He charged also that Duncan had been lending out money from the Alliance treasury and pocketing the interest. Gantt then made the charge that Duncan used his railroad passes, in violation nf the State law. to travel on busi ness. He scored him, too, far allowing the railroads in this State to charge ' higher rates than are allowed in Georgia. The rest of the charges were devoted to Col. Duncan's record as a j lleformor.

It is reported that about 100 are drowned. J fi | PASSED THE SENATE. | THE TARIFF BILL NOW GOES BACK TO THE HCUSEPr. vision lor Free Wool?Oih?r Amendments ot Le*s Impa:?ince -Senator Irby Votca Right af La<st. ; Wasaington, July 3.?The Senate met at 10 a. mM in continuation of yesterday's Isgi3lativr se33ion by virtue of a recess taken last night. That obviated all delays incident to the formalities of the regular opening of a new day. The tariff bill was taken up at once and action on amendments of the committee of the whole occupied the entire day's session. First came the motion made by Mills on Monday evening to place burlaps 1 - ? *? ? ?? ^ nn f k a &QQ craiu Uiigb liiciutj uiici cnum uLk lug free list. It was carried by a vote of 28 to 7. Next came the famous collars and cuffs amendment, fixing the duty on these articles at 30 cents per dozen and 30 per cent, advalorem, and on shirts at 50 per cent., equivalent, according to a statement made by Chandler, to an advalorem rate of from 80 to 125 per cent. That amendment was agreed to (after a couple of satirical SDeeches directed against the junior Senator from Xew York, Murphy) by a vote of 43 to 5. Then the great wool schedule came up for action, Sherman offering an amendment to place wool on the dutiable list at 30 per cent, advalorem. The longest discussion of the day took place on this proposition?appeals being made by Republican Senators to Democratic Senators from wool producing States to supply even two votes fn- the. amendment, which would be enough, with the Populists' votes to carry it. But these appeals fell on deaf ears. There was not a single desertion from the Democratic ranks on the question of wool. The two Populist Senators who usually act with the Democrats. Allen and Kyle, did not vote; and the amendment was defeated ?yeas 32, nays 37. Wool therefore remains on the free list. The committee amendmet, placing bituminous coal on the dutiable list at 40 cents a ton and coal slack at 15 cents wa3 agreed to by a vote of 57 to 6. The six were AlleD, Hill, lrby, Kyle,Mills and Peffer. The committee amendment which had been originally offered by Hill, exempting the salaries of the President of the United States and of the judges of the United States from the income tax, was rejected after a brief struggle, by a vote of yeas 34, nays 36?ten De -J * - ?? ? ?if O T-? ofv mocrats vulcu iui xu quu giA Republicans and three Populists against it. The date when the bill Is to go into effect, was, on motion of Jones, fixed at August 1st, 1894?with the understanding if necessary a later day can be fixed hereafter. Barbed wire was a subject of some dispute. An amendment had been agreed to in the committee of the wnole that barbed wire for fencing, ... j -c _c nn?> snoma De aamitteu xrec ui. uu^y. j.uu amendment was rejected; and one off erred by Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska to place wire for fencing on the free list was also rejected?yeas 32; nays 38. And so wire remains on the dutiable 1 list, at rates according to gauge. Mica was taken off of the free list and put on the dutiable list at 20 per cent, advalorem upon motion of Kansom. Ransom's amendment prevailed by a : vote of 40 yeas and 28 nays. Some amnspment was had on the floor by the ' personal appeal of Hansom to Senators to support his amendment. His threeminute speech in favor of his proposition was the only one he has made on the tariff question and after he had concluded the Senators gathered about < him and promised support. After the ! vote, Ransom interrupted Morgan for i the purpose of, he said, "completing his amendment," which he proceeded j to do by moving to strike mica from , the free list, where it had been placed , by the committee. This was agreed to ? TTTft n ?Y"11 TT amia muca lauguter, wmtu ?? wm; increased when Chandler crossed the aisle, invaded the ranks of political ! enemies and grasped Ransom by the . hand and congratulated him upon his victory for the mica industry of North Carolina and Xew Hampshire. Morgan offered an amendment to come in as five additional sections at the end oi the bill, aimed at trusts and conspiracies in restraint ot trade ana , commerce or to increase the market price of imported articles. He made a , speech in explanation and defense of the amendment, which would have the affect, he said, of repressing "those trusts in all their multiplied hideousness." The amendment was agreed to without division. The first section of it is as follows: "Section 75. That every combination conspiracy, trus^ agreement or con tract is hereby declared to be contrary to public policy, illegal and void, when the same is made by or between two or more persons or corporations, eitoer of whom is engaged in importing any article from any foreign country into the United States and when such combination, conspiracy,'trust, agreement or contract is intended to operate in restraint of lawful trade or free com- " petition in lawful trade or commerce or to increase the market, price in any port of the United States of any article or articles imported or intended to be imported into the United States, or of any manufacture, into which such imported article enters or is intended to enter. Any person who is or shall hereafter be ensaeed in the importa tlon of goods or any commodity from any foreign country in violation of this section of this act. or who shall combine or conspire with another to violate the same is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof in any court of the United States such persons shall be fined in a sum not less than $100 and not exceeding So,000 and shall be further punished by imprisonment in the discretion of the court for a term not less than three months nor exceeding twelve months. Allen then offered the amendment to the sugar schedule of which Jones gave notice vesterdav. but which he did not at any time today offer in the Senate. Jones asked Alien to withdraw it, but he declined. It was then laid on the table on motion of Harris?yeas 50; nays 22. At 8:45 p. m., a suggestion was made by Dolph that the Senate should either dispose of the bill quickly or let it go over till Thursday. He should hate to see the national day desecrated by the. passage of such a bill. "JNTothing could be so painful to me," Harris remarked satirically, "as to give the slightest pain to the Senator from Oregon. But I think that the bill should be disposed of before- the Senate adjourns?and X hope that every Senator will stay here until It is disposed of;" These amendments were agreed to: Increasing the duty on files (paragraph 141) from 30 cents per dozen to 35 cents; mating he duty on type metal (paragraph 171) % cent per pouud on the lead contained therein, and 15 per cent on new type; reducing the duty on ~~ J r-vH 1QQ\ -f mm 1 <Ji<3ciLlCU 1JLUC xcuy cent per pound to 8-10 of a cent. Pettigrew offered an amendment providing for a tariff commission. Rejected ?yeas 30; nays 38. An amendment was adopted to one of the income tax sections, on motion of Hill, approved by Vest, providing that all State, connty, municipal and town taxes paid by incorporations shall be included in their operating: and business expenses. At 10 p. m., there tfas an immense concourse of spectators in the galleries, most of them ladies, and all waving fans industriously, for the atmosphere of the chamber was hot and sweltering. Senators evinced great impatience at the unnecessary delay occasioned by the offering of amendments which had no show of being adopted, but which occupied time in taking the yeas and nays. There was much excitement as to the result cf the final vote and a rumor prevailed that t^i y to _ bill would be beaters. The chairman of the Honse committee on ways and means?Mr. Wilson?and Representative McMillin and Springer were Interested spectators of the proceedings and eager watchers of the last struggle. At 10 p. m. the bill was read the third time, and then Mr. Smith (Dam.) of New jersey ro3e and addressed the Senate in a" set speech against the "socialistic income tax," as he characterized it; but he should vote for the pending bill, because he is a Democrat. Hill declared ms conunuea aabagunism to the bill as a rag-bag prcdaction, a crazy quilt combination, a splendid nothing. The close of his speech was applauded. The calling of the roll on the final passage of the tarilT bill began at 10:25 and the vote resulted; Yeas 39; nays 34. Caffery voted no, and after the vote had been completed, made a brief explanation as to why he had done so, and then changed hi3 vote to one in favor of the bill.

Thft Vir.ft nresident anoointed the following managers on the part of the Senate as conferees: Voohees, Harris, Vest, Jones, Shermao, Allfson and Aldrich. It was no secret among those who had the confidence of the leaders on the Republican side that they expected to defeat the tariff bill and that they figured on a majority of one against it. The first break on the Democratic side came whe the name of Caffery was called and he responded with an emphatic "no." His colleague, Blanchard, did, not respond to his name at all when it was called. Irby, it was claimed, had promised to vo^e against the bill, but when his name was called, he responded in the affirmative, and all hope of defeating fViA Hill rroniahor? vug VUJL TUUIWUWI Caffery, then after a brief explanation and a protest against the way his people had been treated, changed his vote to one in favor of the bill, and Blancnard voted in the san^e way. Had Irby stood by the combination, the two Louisana Senators would hove remained firm and the vote would have been 37 to 3G against the bill. OF INTEREST TO TEACHERS.

West Chester, I'd., July 4.?Two tramps waylaid Miss Lizzie Painter, of Hopewell, and as a result one of them got a pistol bullet in his arm. Miss Painter is a music teacher, and was driving from one of her sclioiai's homes to Hopewell. In a lonely part of the road a man, evidently atrr.mp, jumped out from the undergrowth at the roadside and toid her to "crawl down out of that wagon." For an answer Miss Painter raised her reyolver and fired, and with a cry of pain the man dropped his hold on the horse with a t allet in his wrist. Just at this moment another man ran out to catch the horse, and tbe yonng lady fired at him, but missed. The horse was frightened at the reports and rushed down the road before the second man could stop it. Since then a diligent search has been made for the tramps, but they have not been caught. Saw Her^Baby Stricken, Winchester, O., July 5.?Mrs. Henry Wulford was sitting in her front yard sewing, when her baby, 3 years old, who was playing in tne grass, began to laugh and said: "Mamma, look!" Mrs. Wulford looked and saw a large rattlesnake with its head raised. The mother screamed and the snake struck, sinking its fangs in the baby's neck.

A T r ft R?I>rm Hill, th<it i^Oae thst Materially Rduce* tha Datl'* On Irti ports, i* Naw Ce*tiia ot Bel"C Passed by the Seaate. . Washington, June 29.?The reading^ the -Journal having been dispensed with, the House joint resolution extendj in? for thirty da??- the appropriations for the support of the Govern me".;', was taken up, and in the absence of Mr. Hoar, who had interposed objections on Wednesday and Thursday, was referred to the committee on appropriations and without a moment's delay was reported back by Senator Cockrell, chairman of the committee, res'! without any objec' tion passed. A resolution ottered yesterday by Senator Sherman, directing: the inquiry into the charges for the use of seats, berths and sections in the Pullman sleeping and parlor cars, was laid before the Senate and agreed t,o. The House bill to defice and establish the units of electrical measure was taken rom. the Callendar and pasccd with some verbal amendments. At 10.30 the tarifl bill was taken up, the question being on Section 104, abrogating the reciprocity treaties. Ssnator Hale moved to strikes out the section, but yielded to Senator Vest to modify it on the part of the finance committee, which he did by inserting a proviso that nothing contained in tbe section should be held to abrogate such reciprocity or commercial arrangements between the United States and foreign countries, excopt where such arrangements are inconsistent with the provisions of the Act. The discussion on this was temporarily suspended in order to permit Senator Hoar to ofier an amendment to Section 94, which would allow alcohol used in tne arts and manufactures to be tree from tax, under rules to be prescribed 4-Ua s\( 4V*a ri'ffioonT?rr on/l , ujr buc ovuul>aly u: buc j.l?ooui.| hum under a promise that if found to be impracticable he would afterwards vote with the committee to reject it. The amendment was agreed to with the consent of the finance committee. The discussion as to the abrogation ot the reciprocity arranger eat wa3 resumed and was participate. in by Senators Allison and Sherman in opposition to the section, and bv Senator Ve3t in defence and explanation of it. Oae of the points made by him was that the absolute repeal ef Section 3 of the McKialey Act was to take away from the President in the iuture all the authority which he possessed under that section. Senator Higgins: "Is it the Senator's proposition tnat in the future the power to make reciprocal conventions will be left to the treaty-making power?the President and Senate?and taken from the President: alonf?" Senator Vest: "That 13 the object?" Senator Vets'* modification was agreed to without division. Senator Hale moved to strike oui the whole section, and the motion was rej scted?yeas 24, nays 34. Section 104 now repeals the 3d section otthe McKmley .Act, and provides that "nothing herein contained shall be held to abrogate or in any way affect such reciprocal commercial arragenments as nave Deen nenoiore mauc auu uuw caist between the United States anc foreign countries. except where such arrangements are inconsistent with the povlsions of this Act." A communication from the Secretary of State, informing the Senate, at the request ot the French ambassador, that a religious seryice in memory of thfe late President of the French Republic would be beld at St. Matthew's Church, Washington, nest Sanday at 12 M , wa3 laid before the Senate, and it was resolved, on motion of Senator Hoar, that the Senate shall attend such religious service. The Senate resumed consideration of the tariff bill, and Senator P<Iier moved to insert an additional section levying a duty of fifty dollars on every foreigner coming by steam or pail vessel to any port within the United States and on every alien immigrant crossing the border line batween ths U nited States and contiguous nations. Senator Piatt suggested the insertion of the words "to engage in any industrial occupation," and Senator Pdi'er accepted the suggestion, saying that the idea was exactly right and in accordance with his own idea. Senator Harris arose to move to lay Senator Feller's amendment on the table, but instead he moved to lay the" Senator from Kansas on the table. Senator Peffer gezed over at Senator Harris with an air of mingled wounder and reproach, and the galleries oroke out into laughter, in which the Senators joined. The Vice President, however, put the question in the correct form and the motion to lay Senator Pefl'er's amendment on the table was carried, yeas 4G, nays 12. The negative votes were siven by Senators Gallinger. Hlggins, Hoar, Mitchell, of Oregon, Patton, Pefter, Pekins, Pettigrew. Piatt, Proctor Shoup and Squire.

A large number of amendments were offered by Senator Jones, Damocrat, of Arkansas, on behalf of the finance com mitiec, many ui meuu metei^ iviwbi, and none of them important enough to meet any opposition. All were agreed to. All the committee amendments having been disposed of Senator Hoar appealed to the finance committee to admit a paragraph putting a duty of 10 per cent ad valorem on sea moss or Iceland moss. He asked it in the interest or a few meritorious and hard working men on the coast of Massachusetts. Senator Harris joined in the appeal, and Senator Jones, on behalf of the hnftnc,fl committee, said that he could not resist the united appeal. The paragraph was therefore inserted. Many other amendments were suggested by various S?natcr3, but they w nt over to be offered in the Ssnate. The bill was then reported from the committee of the whole to the Senate, and it wa3 ordered that tbe Dill and amend ments be printed. A suggestion having been made of an adicurnment till Mondav in order to give ticce for the printing ot the bill and amendments, Senator Harris protested against the delay, stating that the coua- [ try was waiting anxiously to know what was going to be done with the tariff bill. He would not consent to its going over a single day or a single hour, The Senate then proceeded to.tbe consideration ot excutive busine33, and at 6,20 adjourned till Monday at 10 A. M. Filled.

C., June 4.?The following is the crop xeport for the past week: The weather and crop conditions have changed materially and for the better during the past week. The temperature ranged nearly normal, being slightly below on the immediate coast, and slightly in the excess in the interior. Friday, June 29ih, wa3 very hot wilh temperature between 9G and 100 over the entire State, except on the immediate coast. The excessive heat was general over the entire cotton region of the United States, the average maximum of 132 stations Deing \u degrees on that date. The sunshine was below the usual amount, averaging between GO and 70 for the whole State,the deficiency having a tendency to injure cotton. The rainfall was widespread, quite general, and in places excessiye. Drought conditions have been narrowed down to portions of Clarendon, Fairfield, Orangeburg, Florence and Williamsburg counties. Overflows of creeks and washing rains destructive to crops occurred in Edgefield, Anderson, Abbeville, and Osonee counties. Destructive windstorms occurred in Barnwell, Laurens, Newberry, Lancaster and Fairfield counties. Destructive hailstorms occurred in Barnwell, Laurens, Newberry, Lancaster and Fairfield counties. Destructive windstorms in Pickens, Greenville, Edgefield, Laurens, Union, and Anderson counties; the storm of the 23th beine especially severe in Greenville and Pickens. Giving due consideration to the areas of damage bv wind, hail, and overflows of creeks and to areas of insufficient rain,the crops are vastly improved and are in excellent condition. Early corn much improved, but was too far advanced toward maturity to receive much benefit from the changed conditions and it is estimated will not make much more than half a crop. Late planting very good on bottom lands, beginning to be grassy where not too wet to work. Cotton growing rapidly aad fruiting well, except in a few localities where it is going to weed; needs more sunshine, beginning to get grassy wherfe too wet to work. Rice improved during the week and doing fairly well, bufc there is still danger from salt water in Georgetown county, owing to the low stage of the river. A larger acreage of peas being planted than ever before in many sections, but seed is reported 9f?ar<>.A_ Planting of sweet ootato slips continues. Melons ripening fast but individual melons as well as the total crop will be smaller than usual. Pasturage growing very fast. The crop prospects summed up are more eneouraging now than they have been at any time this year, but would be still further improved by a rainless week with a high percentage of sunshine. The following places reported rainfalls above the weekly normals: Columbia. 1.84; Hardeville, 1.86; St. George's, 3.14; St. Matthews, 3.72; Greenville, 3.69; Cheraw. 2.44; Allen dale, 251; Batesbure, 3.27; Blackville, 3.20; Greenwood, 1.29; Watt's, 4 76; Little Mountain, 1.19; Santuc, 3.10; Tren ton, 3.40; Ella, 2.18; Longsnore, a id; Port Royal, 398; Conway, 2.23; Heath Spring, 6.23; Statesburg, 1.09; Oak wood, 3.05; Camden, 1.40; Society Hill, 4.38; Chesterfield, 2.(33; Liberty, 1.20; Reld, 2.75; Trial, 1.40; Hunters, 6.88; Easley, 4.55; McCormick, 4.44; Beaufort, 2.99; Charleston, 2.78; Georgetown, 1.00; Flint Hill, 2.43; JacRson Station, 2.00; Hagood, 1.18; Red Hill, 4.00. fatal Dash tor Liberty. Columbia, S. C., July 3.?The love of liberty was strongly illustrated yesterday afternoon when a young white * ' conyict maae a mac aasu uu uuvity ?uu met his death from a bullet which passed through his body. The young fellow roas only twenty-three years of age and bad but a few months more of his sentence to serve. It ?;eems that the poor fellow was the victim of a plot which he with many others had formed to escape and which he was the only one to attempt to carry c-o\ Tbe, story cf the young prisoner's d;a<h is about as follows: rha prisoner, James Hill, who was sent up from Edgefield county on the 15th of March last, under a sentence of twelve months for larceny of live stock, was one of a squad of twelye convicts, most of whom were white and among whom was Edwards, the young lawyer sent up from Sumter county, to go to the State farm, about two miles above the city, to load some wagons hauling pine straw. "ine squad was iu vi Guards La far and F. Hardy. They were walking along the r?;lrr>al track about a mile above the clt} utjfr the old rock quarry, just where there is a dense thicket on each side of the road. Without the slightest warning Hill suddenly threw down his rake and dashed off down a little by-path into the thicket. The guard fired at him as he cashed into the thicket, but missed him. Guard Hardy o(1- of nAmfi distance from the track and stood on the top of a high hill overlooking the surrounding ground. The convict soon dashed out the -edge of the thickel, 100 yards away and the i guard Heed at him. He fell and expired in a few minutes. The ball entered his back just above the hip, near the spinal column, and passed through the body. Ccronor Eoach was notified and held an inquest yesterday evening, the jury rendering a verdict that Hill was killed bv ~ ~ *? " 3 1 Ull liuara ?iaruy in me auscaarge ui u? duty. The penitentiary authorities think that there was a plot anion? all the white men in the squad to escape, and that Hill made the break before the others realized what he was about.

Columbia, S. C., July 5.?Capt. John G. Capers was asked today by a Journal reporter as to what further replies he had received from county chairmen iu reference to General Butler's request for separate boxes and whether Cnairman.Nettle's reply was a fair sample of the replies. He said the reply received from him was. by no means a fair indication of the tenor of tne replies. Oa the contary, they were in marked contrast. He had received replies from manv counties and from many men re presenting the Reform faction and they were courteous and conciliatory. For instance a chairman of a Piedmont County who id an ardent Tillmanite and office holder under the present administration writes: Your communication of the 26ih to hand. I will take great pleasure in presenting your request to our exercutive " ?' 1- .k/. 01 commmee wnen it meets uu aic Instant.
