VOL. XX. IKN, *( ryj 'lIA I1fIAP 9WU CONGRESSIONAL MATTER. THE APPORTIONMENT BILL PASSED BY THE SENATE. The Bill the Same as dopted by the House-Effoots to Increase the Nuimbor Voted Down.-Kolly Flaunts the 1sloody Shirt Which is Itesented by Several Democrats. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-In the -'en ate at the close of the morning hour the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the apportionment bill as "unfinished business," and Edmunds addressed the Senate, calling its attention to the fact that the bill took no cognizance what ever of the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, that in case the right of suilrage be denied or abridged in any State, the representa tion of that State should be diminished accordingly. The Senate then proceeded to vote on the amendments proposed by the mi nority, the first being to increase the representation of Arkansas from 6 to 7. The amendment was rejected -yeas, 32; nays, 33. All the Democratic Senators voted for the amendment and were re inforced by five Republicans-Senators Davis, McMillan, Paddock, Stewart and Washburn. The next amendment was to increase the representation of Minnesota from 7 to 8-also rejected; yeas 31, nays 32. On this vote Casey voted with the Dem ocrats, of whom two less voted than on the preceding vote. The next amendment was to increase the representation of Missouri from 15 to 16. Rejected; yeas 30, nays 38. The only Republicans voting aye on this amendment were Davis, Paddock and Washburn. Casey, McMillan and Ste w art voted no. The next amendment was to increase the representation of New York from :34 to 35. Rejected; yeas 30, nays 38, Davis and Paddock being the only Re publicans voting in the aflirmative. Davis then withdrew the amendment, fixing the total number of representa tives at 360. Berry offered an amendment fixing the total number at 359 and giving ai additional member to Arkansas, Minne 0sota and New York, and desired to have it voted on as one amendment. A division of it, however, was in aisted on by Hale. Hale then moved to lay the amend ment on the table, and that motion was agreed to-yeas 38 ; nays 29. The only Republicans who voted in the negative were Davis and Washburn. Vest stated why he could not vote for the bill. It was because a large amount of the population in Missouri. Minnesota, Arkansas and New York was left en tirely without represenation. Gorman also opposed the bill because, as it has been reported, it showed that . an error had been made in the city of Y New York, were there was a deficit of some 200,000 in the census returns, as taken, and because he believes that that State and the States of Arkansas, - Minnesota and Missouri should each have an additional representative. IlIe thought that in fairness to all the appor tionment should have. been left to be made in the next session. Jones of Arkansas declared his belief t1at for his State the census returns were very defective, and that if' the truth were known Arkansas had p)opi lation enough to entitle her to seven Representatives. Morgan spoke of the necessitiy of a specific declaration in the bill that the number of Presidential electors in 1892 shall correspond with the number of Representatives lixedl in the bill. Th'le -country hadl hiad enough of trials and troubles and difliculties in connect,ion ( with Presidential elections to admomishi Congress to exercise the most extreme care in the matt.er andl to make thie lawv 'perfectly clear and definite. The bill was then p)assedl exactly as if. came from the IIouse-y'eas 37, nays 24 a strict part,y vote. There was ciuite a rowv in the IIouse to-day. Matters ran very smoothly fo,r awhile, until the murder of Matthews, the postmaster at Carrolton, Miss., was brought up by Kelly in a speech in which he certiGled somne formail remarks made by Lewis, of Mississippi. iIe denied (as slated by Lewis) that the murdeir of' Matthews was attributable toothIer' th ani political causes. iIe had the aut.hority to say that Matthews had been killed be cause lie was a llepublican. The gen-. tieman from Mississippi premisedi his remarks with a qulotation to the effect that nothing butt goodl should( b)e said of the dea<f and1( hiad heaped slanders uploni the deadh man which lie would not have -heaped hlad the man been living, Ile '(Kelly) dleniedl the statements miade by the gentleman in reg 4rd to thme chlara'cr -of Matthews. Flower said that lie hadl heard till 'gentleman from Kansas make speeches pitching Into the distinguished gentle man frem Arkansas (fire.ckinrnfge.) 'That gentleman had been r'e.turnied to 'ongress while the constituents of' the gentlemian from Kansas had tuirned hium dIown. The more of such speeches the gentleman fromn Kansas made. the bet,temr it would be f.or the D)emocratic party. Lewis, in reply, said that while the people of the whole country were en joy ing 1,.e privileges of constitutional liberty, the r tentorian~ and stricken voice 'of' the gentleman from Kansas wasH .heard,crying, "Murder ! murder !"' ''Call tihe police !"' ejaculated Spiinoia, in a voice of' Modoc terror, and1 the con trast between the eariiest voice of' Lewis -and the timorous voice of' Spinola was .so apparent that for some miomencits Lewis was unable to p)roceedh on acconuf. -of tihe laughter. Lewis, continuing, said that, in the self-confidence and swvift witness in every killing that had occurred in Mussis sippi and Arkansas the gentlenman f'rom Kansas had sought to create the impres sion that the people of these States were in rebellion against the Constitution and laws of thme United States. Kelly--"IIe has proved it." 'Lews-"I want to say to hun that he. is In rebellhon against tihe mandate of' 'the people as pronounced at the last November election. I want to say that lie Is in rebeilioi against his own con stituents, who have relegated him to the shades of private hife. I want to say tha.t .he is inl rebellionl a111an1iSt thle peCOpIC of Kansas, who have just spokeu and whose voice has filled the cathedral of this hemisphere, bit which has fallen unheeded on his deaf ear. Kelly said that lie was not here to tradlice the character of any man. Ilie was defendin-g the character of the Re publicanls of the South who had been killed because thev were Iepublicans. IIe was sorry thal Mis.sissippi could not furnish a manl on this floor with enough of justic, in him to save him (Kelly) tle trouble of doing so. Hooker said that lie was getting a little tired of the broad cast acCUsations made against the people of Mississippi before a tribunal which hlad not, the power to try Ihem. Ile protested against the raising of sectional animosity. Cannon attempted to put an end to the political di.cigsion by calling atten tiou to the absolute uecessity of the speedy passage of tle appropriation bills, but his remarks had little ell'ect, the controversy being transf'erred from Mississippi to Tennessee, Williams of Ohio critici4 ilg and Richardson defeid mng the conduct, of Senator IIarr1q. After a rather stormy scene between the chairman (McCoinas) and Breekin ridge of Arkansas pertaining to the question of recognition, the committee rose and reported the bill to the House. .No utlorii appearig the House with out disposit in of the bill adjourned.

NiEv Yoitic, Jan. 31.-A short tim ago there was news that the action o the third party boomers throughout ti country would be governed, in a larg< measure, by the result of the grea struggle over Ingalls in Kansas. ifr t( Farmers' Alliance could not control t( politics of' a state in which it had . heavy majority of tle voters, It wouh have no prospect of success in a nationa movenict; 'but if, on the other hand. il should winl in its first serious caipagir ini a northwestern state, the fact wouk be proof fhat the time had arrived fot the organizition of'a new party in t( United States. Kansas was the pivotal state, and there the signal was to be hoisted. The Alliance had shown itself' to be all pow. erful in several southern states; but there was an imperative necessity that it should win a triumph in tle north, Its succees at Topeka this week is, there fore, an Incident of'tirst-class importatie to the third party boomers. Even President McGrath, of lthe Kan sas Alliance, who was last year opposed to tle formAtion of i iew party, lai changed his mind. The Alliance man. agers in Nebraska and Minnesota arc ready to follow i he leadership of Kansas, and several o! the Alliance leaders ir tle south are dIssirous of co-operatin with their northern brethren in a nation. al political movement. It i, believe( that tle four states of Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and South Dakota are budi cient to form a nucleus around whitl other states will yet rally. The Alliance boomers are to take ul the business of preparing for the Nation al Union conference which is to b( held in Cincinnati upon a date that hia not vet been fixed. The call for thi, conference, which was Issued in Decei ber last, bore the signatures of Ailiance officials In seventeen nortlierni am southern states, and all industrial or, ganizations were invited to take part it it. The Knights of Labor, will sent delegates to it, and half a dozen auricul tural associations, incuding the Color ed Farmers' Alliance, will be represent ed at it. The g,reatest of all the trad( union bodies in this country, tle Ameri can Federation of Labor, has given no tice that it cannot take any part in th4 conference or in the formation of a nev politIcal party. The extleriliment of bringing togethe the wvorkers in tle Cities and the tfillo,r of the fields in order to gami politi". ends was imadle in Washigton last we at a conference held by tle so-c1alled in dustrial Confederation, but the result c the experiment was not encouramg t those concerned i it. So far as can be learned by (le i ports from various states, tle platforr and the measures of the Kansas Farm Cas' Alliance are likely to find Fivor a tle Cincinnati conference, for Kansia carries the flag.

Tho Store at Spamrtaiburg Cauge no Ent D of Trouble. SI'ARTANHUM; S. C., February. 1. The County Alliance met here yester day and were in session several hours. 'I'liir deliberations were behind close(d doors and outsiders know little of what was going on. It is well known, how ever that the "Alliance stores" at this place and Clifton were discussed. A bout, a month ago the Alliance had a statement from their couuty bi-iness arent, W. Mc Zimmerman, which was dI apparently satisfactory to them. They s iliposedI some restricting regulations V f on him, and authorized him to visit the t Alliances anl get up a joint stock com a !any so that he might conduct his bus- t ,f ines on a cash basis. IIe made the f r. rounds of the county, but did not get y the needed help. Meantime claims e against the Alliance store began to . come in and one creditor from Atlanta, r. who had sold at stock of clothing to the f store, came over and packed up the un y sold clothing and carried it back. It became evident to the public that a e crisis was near at hand, and the Alli- t anCe yesterday seemed anxious to have o an interview vith Mr. Zimmerman, but L lie was out Of town. After waiting p till about 5 o'clock tliey adjourned. e (I Mr Zimmerman caine in from the Clif s ton store abou t 1 o'clock. y A Ifairs are in a peculiar condition. t M Mr. Zimnerian is the county business t, agent. IIe has been cond tiding the af- V l lairs of the Aliance for more than a year. His acts have been recognized t - by the Alliance in its county meetings. 1 e Ihe guano trades were conducted e through him last season. Now the q luestion as to responsibility in all these transactions comes tip. Some of y the Alliance men seem to think that (I no one is respoisible except Mr Zim i-iermnan and that all creditors will e have to look to him for pay. A few I of them are a little nervous and are afraid that the Alliance will have to pay the claiins. Some of the creditors d are- sitting with folded hands, becatie they cI im that the Alliance will have e to pa allt debts of their authorized r Aigent lt'liey were doinr business as it firii anld had recognized Mr Ziminer - man -ts their agent and had in their I various metings endorsed his buying and selling goods. Taking that view t oU the case these creditors say they are * sure of their money with all costs and e intterests. Then in the case of suits in the Court the (Itiosition assiumes an other very important phase. All mem g ors of the Alliance would be interest ed in the suit. In fact they would be e parties to it. They could riot serve as >d jurors. By excluding then and all ti) persons i SVIlPathiv with thlem, it s wouli be ditlicult to get a jitry. The m prObabilit y is that some creditor will re bring suit in the United States Court, h so as to take the inatter out of this r, county. I L is getting to be a very in h, teresting affair. le Mr Zimierman claimed a few (lays >n ago that the liabilities of the Alliance t- stores woul aiount to aboitt $10,(XK), vt while the assets were S11,00. The Ie store has not been closed by any of the creditors, because they expect to get k, their pay from the Cotunty Alliance. i The ollicers of the Alliance did not take e. eharge of the store, because they say iti t hey are not. responsible. It is an ano >1* lmaious business condition that coii ii fronts the County Alliance.-News and s- Courier.
