THE ROYAL GARDEN Rev. Dr. Ta81mtgn TalkA of tho Flowers of the ohurchi. BRoOKLYN, July 1.-Itsv. Dr. Tail mage, who is now nearing Australia on his round the world journey, has so lected a3 the Sullject, for his sermon through the press today "Tho Royal Garden," the text being taken from Solomou's Song V, I "I am come lito my garden." The world has had a great many bcauti ful gardens. Charlemagne added to the glory of ils reign by decrecing that they be established all through the realim decreeing even the names of the flowers to te planted there. Ienry IY, at. Montpellier, established gardens oi he. witching beauty and luxuriance, gathering into them Alpine, PSrencnu and French )lants. one of tile swcet eats spots on earth was the Larden of Shenstone, the poet. Ils writings have made but little impression oil tile world, but his garden, "The Leasowes," will be immortal, To the natural advantage of that place was brought the perfection of art. Arbor and terrace and slope and rustic temple and reservoir anm urn and fountain here and their crowning. Oak and yew and hazel put forth their richest foliage. There was no life more diligent, no soul more ingenious than that of Shen stone, and all that diligence and genius were brought to tile adornment of that one treasured spot. He gavo 1300 for it. He sold it for A17,000. And yet I am to tell you of a richer garden than any I have mentioned It is the garden of the church, it is the garden spoken of in my text, which b longs to Christ, for my text says eo. le bought it, Ie planted it, h1e owns it, and he shall have it. Walter Scott, In his outlay at Abbotsibrd, ruined his for tune. And now in the crimson flowers of those gardens yOu can almost think or imagine that you see the blool of that old man's broken heart. Tile payment of the last ?100,000 sacrificed him. But I have to tell you that Christ's life and Christ's death were te outlay of tils beautiful garden oh tile church of whlich my text speaks. Oh, htow, many sighs and tears and pangs and agonies! Tell me, ye women who eaw im hang! Tell me, ye executionera whio lif ted~him andI let him down! Tell me1, thou sunl that. didst hide ye r'ocks that fel! "Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. If, then, tile garden ofiche chuirchl belongs to Chlrist, certainly he has a right to walk in it. Come, thlen, O blessed Jesua, tis morning, walk up and clown tihese aisles and~ pluck what thou wilt of sweetness for thlySelf. The church, in my text, is appropriate ly comnared to a gardeni, because it is a place of choice flowvers, select fruits anld of thloroughl irrigatioin. Thlat would be a strange garden in whichl thlere were no ilowers. IF f no here else, thley will be a long tile borders or at tile gateway. The hlomellest taste will dictate something, if' it, be tile old fah.l ioned hollyhlock or daihia or dafl'odil or coreopsis, but if' there be larger means then you will find the Mexican cactus and (lark veined arbutelion and blazing asalea and clustermng oleander. Well, now, Christ comes to his garden, and 110 plants there some of tile brightest spirite that ever flowered upon the worild. Some1 of'thlem are violets, miconlspicuous, bult sweet in heaven, You have to search for such spirits to 11ind them. You (10 not see thlem very often perhaps, but you find whlere they have beenl by the brigh tenIng face of the invalid, and the sprig of geranium on tile stand, and tihe window curtains keeping out tile glare of the sun. light. They are perhlaps mOre like tile ranlunculus, creeping sweetly along aid the thorns and briers of life, giving kiss for sting, and many a man who has had in his way some great black rock of' troui ble h~as found that they have covered it all over Withl flowering jasmine runlning -In and out amid the crevices. These Christians in Christ's garden are not like the sunflower, gaudy in light,.but whlen ever darkness hlovers over a soul1 that needs to be comforted thlere they stand, mghlt blooming cereuses. Buat mi Christ's garden there are plants thlat may be bet ter compared to the Mexican cactus thorns without, loveliness withmn-men with sharp points of character, They wound almost every one thlat touches them. They are hard to handle. Men pronounce them nothing but thoi ns, but Christ loves thlem, notwithstanding all their sharpneses. Many a man has hlad very hard ground to culture, and it lhas only been through severe toil hle has raised even the smallest crop of grace. A very harsh minister was talking with a very placid eider, and the placid elder said to the harsh minister, "Doc tor, I do wish you would control your temper." "Ah," said tile minister to the ehier, "I control more temper in five minutes than you do in flye years." It is harder for some men to do rliht than for others to do right. The grace that would elevate you to the seventh hleaven mlight not keep your brother from knock lga man down. I had a iend who Acame to me and said, "I dare not join| the church." I said, "Why?" "Oh," pl,:"I have subh a violent temper. s' dy storning I was crossing very 'Ery at the Jersey City ferry, and I saw Sa milkman pour a 1.arge amount of water S ito the milk can, and I said to him, 'I Sthink that will do,' and he Insulted me, and I knock him down. Do you think I rptght to join the church?" Neverthe less that very same man. who was so hersh mn his be'havtor, loved Christ and could iiot speak of sacred things without - of emption "and affection. Thorns w) out, but'sweetness within-the best spepimen of Mexlcaa cactus I ever saw, There are others planted in. Christ's gardeda who0 are always ardent5 always radiant, always impressive-more like the roses of dee) bue ihat we .CcaslOn ally find called "glants of battle"-thO Martin LntberR, St. Pasuls, Cthrvsostoms WykIlis, Latlmers and Samuel Ruther fords. What in other nen is a spark, in ther is a conflagration. When they sweat, they sweat great drops of blood. When they praY, their prayer takes fire. When they preach, it Is a Pentecost. When they llght, it is a Thermopvhe Wheii they die, it la a martyrdon. You find a great many roses in thn gardens, but only a few "arlanis of battle." Men say, "Why don YO VO have more of them In the churchy' I say, "Why don't you have in the world more Naipo leons and llumboldst and Vellimnton?' God gives to some ten talents, lo another one. III this garden of Who church, which Christ has planted, I also find the snow drops, beauitiful but cold looking, sen ingly another phase of he winter. I me an those Christians who are precise in their ttees, imIIpassionied, lkmio as siowdrops nld its cold. They never shed any tears; they neverget excited; 0ho never say anything rashly; they never (10 anything pro. cipitatelv. Their pulses never flutter; their nerves never twitch; their ludigna tion never boilsover. They live longer than most ptople, but their lite is in a mior key. They never run up to "C'' above tho staff. In the music oftaheir life they have no staccato passages. Christ, p!anted them in the church, and they must be of some service, or thoy would not ba there. snowdrops, always snowdrops. But I have not told lou of the most beautiful 11 bwer in all the garden spsken (f in the text.. It you sen a "contury plant," your emotions are started. You say, I Why, this flower has been a hun dred years gathering up for one bloom, and It will be a hundred years more be toro other petals will come out." But I have to tell you of a plant that was 4athering up from all eternity, and that 1,900 years ago put forth its bloom never to -vither. It is the passion flower of the crosal Prophets foretold It. Beth lehem shepherds looked on it in the bud .he rocks shook at its bursting, and the lead got up in their winding sheets to 0ce its full bloom. ItIs a crimson flow :r-blood at the roots, blood on the Lranches, blood on all the leaves. its perfume is to fill all the nations. Its Louch is life. Its breath is heaven. Come 0 winds, from the north and wln-s from the south and winds from the east and winds from the west, arid bear to all the earth the sweet smelling savor of Christ, my Lord. His worth, if all the nations know, Sure the whole earth would love himl too. Agaln the church may be appropri ately compared to a garden, because it is a place of select fruits. That would be a strange garden which had in it no berries, no plums, no peaches oramricots. The coarser fruits are planted in the or chard or they are set out on the sunny hillside, but the choicest fruits are kept in tho garden. S-> in the world outsido th church Christ has planted a great many beauti fil thinigs-patieuce, c'arity, generosity, intogrify-but, he intends the choicest, fruito to b in the garden, and if they are not there then shame on the church. 4eligi is not a mere flowering senti mentality. It is a practical life giving, healthful fruit-not posies, but apples. "Oh," ssys somebody, "I dlon't see what your garden ol the church has yielded."~ Where did your asylums come from, and your hospitals, and your institutions of merc3? Christ pla'itod every one of them, lHe plantedi thorm in his gardoni. When Christ gave sight to Bartimcus, lhe laid the cornerstone of every blin~d asylum that has ever been built. When Christ soothed the demo niac ol Galilee, he laid the cornerstone of' every lunatic asylum that has ever been estaiblished. When Christ said to the sick man, ''Take up thy bad and walk,'' he Jaid the cornerstone of every hospital the world has ever seen. When Christ, said, "'I was in prison, and ye visited me,"' lie laid the cornerstone of every prison reform aussociation that has ever been forimed, Thbe church of' Christ is a glorious garden and it is lull of ruit. L 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 thait ought to be cut, down. I know there are some wild grapes that ought to b)e uprooted, but aire you going to (de stroy thec whole' garden because of a lit le gnarled fruit? You will find wormi eaten leaves in Fontainebleau and in sects that sting~ in the fairy g'roves of' the Champs Elvees. You (10 not tear (down) andb destroy the whole gardeni because thiere are a few specimens of gnarled fruit. I admit there are men and women in the church who ought not to be there but let us be just, as frank and admit the fact that, there aire hundreds and thous ands and tens of thousands of glorious Christian men and1( women holy, blessed, usefiul, Qonsecrated 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 is not, a matter of psalm singing and chur.ch going. Tomorrow morning that religion wvill keel) them just as consistent and cousecrated on "exchange"' as it ever kept them at the aommunion table. There are women in the church of a higher ty pe of character than Mary of Bethany. They not only sit at the feet of Christ, but they go out nite the kitchen to help Martha in h sr work, that she may sit there too. There is a woman who has a drunken husband, who has exhibited more faith and pa tience and courage thtan Ilugh L~atimer n the lire. ie was consumed in 20 ninutes. Ihers has been a 20 years' mar tyrdom. Yonder is a man who has lain 15 years on his back, unable oven to feed himself, yet calm and peaceful as though lie lay on one of the green banks of heaven, watching the oarsmen dip their paddles in the crystal river Why, It seems to me this moment as It Paul threw to us a pomologist's cata logue of the fruits grwilng in this great gardon of Christ-love, j y, peace, pa tience, charIty, brotherly kindness, gen tieness, mercy-gorious 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 good while ago. When that tree was plantedlt wa so split and bruised and bredmen said nothing would ever grow upon it, but no sooner had that tree been planted than it budded and blossomed and fruited, and the soldiers' spears were Only the clubs that strtuck down that fruit, and it fell into the lap of the nations, and men be ~an to pick it up and eat It, and they found it an antidote to all thirst, to all poison, to all sin, to all death--the smallest clusterlarger than the famous one of Eschol, which two men carrIed on a staff between them, if the one apple in Eden kIlled iLhe race, this one cluster of mercy shall restore It. Aain, the chnrch In my iert Is ap propriately called a garden because It Is thoroughly irrfgated. No garden could prosper long without plenty of water. I have seen a garden in the midst of a desot, 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 bonutiful fountaius until every root and leaf and flower was saturated. That is like (he church. The church is a gar den in Iho tnidst 01'a great desert of sin and suifferite. It is well Irrigated, for "our eyes are onto thn hiullp, f-om whence c ometh our e From1Lhe mountains ol God's strength there flow down rivers of gladness. There is a river the stream wheroof shall make glad the city ol'our God. Preaching the gos pel is one of these aqueducts, The il blo is aother. Baptism and the Lord's supper are aqueducts. Water to slake the thirat, water to restore the faint, water to wash the unclean, water tossed high up in the light of the sun of right eousnees showing us the rainbow around the throno. Oh, was there ever a garden so thoroughly irrigated? You know the beauty of Versailles and ( hatsworth depends very much on the great E upply DI' water. I camo to the latter place (Chatsworth) one day when strangers ire not to be admitted, but by an in ducement, which always seemed as ap plicable to an Englishman as an Amer ican, I got in, and then the gardener went far up above the stairs of stone and turned on the water. I daw it gleaming on the dry pavement coming down from step to step; until it came so near I could'hear the musical rush, and all over the high, broad .tairs it came foaming, flashing, roaring down until sunlight and wave in gleesome wrestle 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, sanctilca tion from above. Oh, that now God would turn on the waters of salvation that they might flow 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 comingi 1 hear the voice of Christ, "I am come into my gardem." I say: "Come in, 0 Jesus; we have been waiting 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 ip to that old man and touches him and says: "Almost home, father. Not many more aches for thee. I will never leave thee. I will never forsake thee. Take courage a little longer, and I will stand thy tottering steps, and I will soothe thy troubles and give thee rest. Courage, old man." Then Christ goes up another garden path, and lie comes to a soul in trouble and says: "Peace; all is well! 1 have seen thy tears-, I have heerd thy prayer. The sun shall not smite the by day, nor the moon l night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. ie will preserve thy soul. Courage, () troubled spirit!" Then I see Jesus going ip another garden path, and I see great excitement among the leaves, and I hasten tip 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." ie turns to me anl says: "I have come into my garden to gather lilies, and 1 mean to take these up to a higher terrace and for the gardhon around my palace, and there I will la~nt them imd~ in better altr. They shall put forth brighter lealves and~ sweeter redolence, and no frost shall touch them forever." And I looked up into his face and said: "Well, it is his garden, andl lhe has a right to (10 what lhe wvill with it. Thy will be dlone"-thie hardest prayer a mnan ever made. I notice that the fine gardlens some times have high fences around them, and .I cannot get, in. It is so wvith the king's garden. The only glimpses you over 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. I1 throw wide open the gate andI tell you aill to comei in. No mon opoly in religion. Whosoever will, may choose now between a dlesert andi a garden. Many of yen have triedl the garden of this world's dlelight. You have found It has been a chagrin. So it was with Theodore Hook, H~e made all the world laugh. lie makes us laugh nlOW when we read his poems, but lie could not make his own heart laugh. While in the midet of his fest ivItIes, lhe confronted a looking glass, and lie saw himself and saidi: "There, that is true. I look just as I tam, done up In body, mind and purse." So it was with Sh~nstone, of whose garden I told you at the beginning of my sermon. H e sat down amid~those bowers and saidI: "I have lost my road to happiness I am angry and envious andi 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 heartseasel Christ is the only rest and the pardon for a perturbed spirit. Do you not think your chance has almost come? You men and we men wno have been waiting year and after year for some good opportunity in which to accept Christ, but have postponed it 5, 10, 20,80 years, do you not feel as if now your hour of deliver anice and salvation had come ? Oh, man, what grudge hiast thou against thy poor soul that thou wvilt 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 lifeboat. In 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 wont but her turn did not seem to come. After awhile she could wait no longer, and she leaped on the taifrail and then sprang into the sea, crying to the boat mnan: "Save me nexti 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 accept edl the pardon of Christ, but you are in peril. Why not this morning make a rush for your immortal rescue, crying until Jesus shall hear you and heaven and earth ring with the cry: "Save me nextl" "Save me next!" lirokco lin Nook.

Fro vislon for Fres Wool-Other Amend uents of Loan Iapow tance-onator Irby Votes itgiht at Last. WASAINOTON, July 3.-The Senate met at 10 a. in., in continuation of yes. terday's logislativr session by virtue of a recess taken last night. That obvia. bed all delays Incident to the formali ies of the regular opening of a new lay. 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 and grain bags made therefrom on the 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, ac cording to a statement made by Chand ler, to an advalorem rate of from 80 to 125 per cent. That amendment was agreed to (after a couple of satirical speeches directed against the junior Senator from New 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 dutia ble list at 80 per cent. advalorem. The longest discussion of the day took place on this proposition-appeals be ing made by Republican Senators to Democratic Senators from wool pro ducing States to supply even two votes for 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 de. sertion from the Democratic ranks on the question of wool. The two Popu list Senators who usually act with the Democrats, Allen and Kyle, did not vote; and the amendment was defeated -yeas 32, nays 37. Wool therefore re mains 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 was agreed to by a vote of 57 to 0. The six were Allen, Hill, Irby, Kyle,Mills and Peffer. The committee amendment which had been originally offered by Hil), ex empting the salaries of the President of the United Sta'es 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 mocrats having voted for it and six Republicans and thre 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 thu whole that barbed wire for fencing, should be admitted free of duty. This amendment was rejected; and one of I erred by Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska to place wire for fencing on the free list was aiso rejected-yeas 32; nays 38. And so wire remains on the dutiable list, at rates according to gauge. Mica was taken off of the free list and put on the dutiable list at 20 per cent, ad valorem upon motion of Ransom. . Ransom's amendment prevailed by a vote of 40 yeas and 28 nays. Some amusement was had on the floor by the personal appeal of Ransom to Senators to support his amendment. H is three minute speech in favor of his proposi tion was the only one he has made on the tariff question and after ho had concluded the Senators gathered about him and promised support. After the vote, Ransom interrupted Morgan for the purpose of', he said, "completing his amendment," which he proceeded to do by moving to strike mica from the free list, where it had been placed by the committee. This was agreed to amid much laughter, which was only increased when Chandler crossed the aIsle, invaded the ranks of political enemies and graspedl Ransom by the hand and congratulated him upon his victory for the mica industry of North Carolina and New Hampshire. Morgan offered an amnendment to come in as live additional sections at the end of the bill, aimed at trusts and conspiracies in restraint of tradie andI commerce or to increase the market price of imported articles, 11e made a sp~eech in explanation and defense of the amendlment, which would have the affect, lie said, of repressing "those trusts in all their multiplied hideous. ness." The amendment was agreed to without divjision. The first section of it is as follows: "Section 75. That every combinat ion conspiracy, trust, agreement or con tract is hereby declared to be contrary to public policy, illegal and void, when the same is ma-Jo by or between two or more persons or corporations, either of whom is engaged in importing any article from any foreign country into the United States and when such comn bination, conspiracy,'trust, agreement or contract Is Intended to operate in restraint of lawvful 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 im. ported article enters or is intended to enter. Any person who is or shall hereafter be engaged in the importa tion of goods or any commodity from any foreign country in violation of this section of this act, or who shall com bine or conspire with another to violate the same is guilty of a misdemeanor andi 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 $5,000 and shall be fur ther 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 yesterday, but which ho (lid not at any time today offer in the Senate. Jones auked Allen to withdraw It, but he declined. It was then laid on the table on motion of Iharris-yeis 50; nays 22. At 8:45 p. mn., a suggestion was made by D~olph that the Senate should either dispose of the bill quickly or let it go over till TIhnrsday. le should hate to see the national day desecrated by the passage of such a bill. "Nothing could be so painful to me," Iharris re marked satirically, "as to give the slightest pain to the Senator from Or egon. Bunt I think that the bill1 should be disposed of before the Senate ad journs-and I 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 80 cents per dozen to 35 cents; making lie duty on type metal (para graphhl7l) % cent per pouud on the leadcontained therein, and 15 per cent. on new type; reducing the duty on cleaned rice (paragraph 193) from 1 cent per p ound to 8.10 of a cent. Pet tigrew offered an amendment providl ing for a tariff commission. Reected -yeas 80- .nays 88. An amendment was adhn~ to nen of the income tax sections, on motion of Hill, approved by Vest,.providing that all State, conn ty, municipal and town taxes paid by incorporations shall be included in their operating and business expenses. At 10 p. m., there Nas an immenee concourse of spectators in the galler les, most of them ladies, and all wav ing fans industriously, for the atmos phere of the chamber was hot and sweltering. Senators - evinced great impatience at the unnecessary delay oc. casioned 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 of the final vote and a rumor prevailed that the. bill would be beaten. Thechairman of the IIonse committee on ways and means-Mr. Wilson-and Representa tive McMillin and Springer were Inter ested spectators of the proceedings and eager watchers of the last struggle. At 10 p. in. the bill was read the third time, and then Mr. Smith (Derm.) of New Jersey rose and addressed the Senate in a set speech against the "socialistic income tax," as he charact erizel it; but he should vote for the pending bill, because he is a Democrat. 11111 declared his continued antago nism to the bill as a rag-bar produc tion. 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 tariff 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 ex planation as to why he had done so, and then changed his vote to one in favor of the bifl. Irby voted foir the bill, and Blanchard, who was denied the privilege of ex plaining his votLe, un an objection, contented himself with a simple "yea." 11111 was the only Democrat to vote agninst the bill. The 1opulists, Allen and Kyle, voted for it, and Pedfer against it. Following is the vote in detail: Yeas-Allen, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Blanchard, Caffery, Call, Cockrell, Coke, Daniel, Faulkner, George, Gib son, Gorman, Gray, Harris, Hiunton, Irby, Jarvis, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle, Lindsay, McLaurin, Martin, Mills, Mit chell of Wisconsin, Morgan, Murphy, Palmer, Pasco, Rinsom, Roach, Smith, Turpie.

Nays-Aldrich, Allison, Carey, Chandler, Cullom, )avis, Dlxson, Dolph, Dubois, Frye, Gallinger, Iale, Ilansbrough, Hawley, Higgins, 11111, Jones of Nevada, Lodge, McMillin, Manderson, Mitchell of Oregon, Patton, Peffer, Perkins, Platt, Power Proctor, Quay, Sherman, Shoup, Squire, Stew art, Tellr and Washburn-31. The Vice president appointed the following managers on the part of the Senate as conferees: Voohees, Harris, Vest, Jones, Sherman, Alltson 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 igured on a majority of one against it. The first break on the 1)emocratic side came who the name of Caffery was called and lie responded with an em phatic "no." Ills colleague, Blanchard, did, not respond to llls naie at all when it was called. Irby, it was claimed, had promised to vote against the bil1, but when his name was called, he responded In the affirmative, and all hope of defoating the bill vanished. Caffery, then after a "rief explana tion and a protest against the way his people had been treated, changed his vote to one in favor of the bill, and Iilancnard voted in the same way. Had Irby stood by the combination, tihe two laouisana Senators would hove re mnainedl firm and the vote would~ have been 317 to 34 against the bill. Completely Ex maatd COL .UMHi A, S. C., July 5.--The judi ciar-y committee of tihe State Parmers' Alliance, consisting of Norman Elder of York, 0o1. D). K. N orris of Anderson, thle Rev. J1. A.Siight or Newberry and .John Gadson of Alken, met in this city yesterday for the purpose of in vesigating the management of the State Alliance Exchange by Col. D. P. D~uncan. Tile investigation was asked for by Col. D~uncan. The committee, after a session of several hours, during wvhich it went through all of the books of the ex change, made up its report, andI will for ward it to the president of the Alli anice, Senator WV. D. Evans. The re port will sho0w that Col. lDtmean's man - agement of tihe exchange has been en tirely satisfactory and that none of thle charges brought against him are true. Fgor some time the Piedmont Ilead light, the organ of Stanyarne Wilson, who 1s opposing CoilDuncan for Con gress in the Fourth dIstrict, has been making all kinds of charges against the manager of the State Alliance E~x change. In the issue of ,June 2 several columns were dlevoted to these changes, and some of them were particularly heavy. Blecause the Alliance Exchange ad vcrtises its 'price list in the Cotton Plant at a cost of $480 a year, Gantt charged that this money had been used b~y Col. Duncan to b~uy out the Cotton Plant as his organ to be used for his political purposes. Gantt also charged that Col. D~uncan tried to extort from the Alliancemen a profit of $1.85. per ton more for guano than private par ties bought tile same goods for. Gantt also charged that Col D)uncan had been selling sewing machines at $19.75 which had been bought by outside parties elsewhere for less than $16. and which Duncan had confessed had cost only $17. IHe charged that Duncan had been making $2.75 clear profit on each machine, and that not a nickel of the profit had gone -into tihe treasury of the exchange. lHe charged also that Duncan had been lending out money from the Alliance treasury and1 pocketing the interest. Gantt then made tile charge that Dun can used his railroad passes, in vibla tion of the State law, to travel on busi ness, lie scored him, too, far allowing the railroads in this State to charge higher rates than are allowed in Geor gia. The rest of the charges were (1e voted to Col. D~uncan's record1 as a R~eformor. I nx )anger. JiiR-isToL, Te'nn., .July 5.-News comes from Rio do .Janeiro, Brazil, stating that Reverend Edward E.

The Qrop Repor COLUMItA, 1. 0., June 4.--The fol lowing Is the crop ioport for the past week: The weather and crop conditions have changed materially and for the better during the past week. The tem peraturo ranged nearly notmal, being slightly below on the immediate coast, and slightly in the excess in the inte rior. Friday, June 29th, was very hot with temperature between 90 and 100 over the entire State, except on the immediate coast. The excessive heat was general over the entire cotton re gion of the United States, the average maximum of 132 stations being 97 de grees on that date. The sunshine was below the usual amount, averaging be tween 60 and 70 for the whole State,the deficiency having a tendency to injure cotton. The rainfall was wide spread, quite general, and in places ex cessiye. Drought conditions have been narrowed down to portions of Claren don, Fairfield, Orangeburg, Florence and Williamsburg counties. Overflows of creeks and washing rains destructive to crops occurred in Edgefield, Anderson, Abbeville, and Oconee counties. Destructive wind storms occurred in Barnwell, Laurens, Newberry, Lancaster and Fairfield counties. Destructive hallstorms oc curred in Barnwell, Laurens, Newber ry, Lancaster and Fairfield counties. Destructive windstorms in Pickens, Greenville, Edgeleid, Laurens, Union, and Anderson counties; the storm of the 23th being especially severe in Greenville and Pickens. Giving due consideration to the areas of damage by 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 and fruiting well, except in a few localities where it is going to weed; needs more sun shine, beginning to get grassy where to- wet to work. Rice improved Our ing the week and doing fairly well, but 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 scarce. Planting of sweet potato slips continues. Melons ripening fast but individual melons as well as the total crop will be smaller than usual. Pastu rage growing very fast. The crop prospects summed up are more encouraging 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 sun shine. The following placas reported rain falls above the weekly normals: Columbia, 1.84; iHardeville, 1.86; St. George's 3.14; St. Matthews, 3.72; Greenviile, 3.19; Cheraw, 2.44; Allen dale, 251; Batesbura, 3,27; Blackville, 3.20; Greenwood, 1.29; Watt's, 4 76; Lit tie Mountain, 1.19; Santuc, 3.10; Tren ton, 3.40; Ella. %.18; Longshore, 2 15; 1Port Royal. 3 98; Conway, 2.23; lle'ath Spring, 0.23; Statesburg, 1.09; Oakwood, 3.05; Camden, 1.40; Society 1ill, 4.38; Chester fi eld, 2.63; Liberty, 1.20; Reid, 2.75; Trial, -A.40; Hunters, 6.88; Easley, 4.55; McCormick, 4.11; 1lcau fort, 2.99; Charleston, 2.78; ('eorgetown, 1.00; Flint 114l, '.3; J0 ackson Station, 2.00; Hiagood, 1.18; Ited 11111, '1.00). Cou:rtnus nlepullc. (1. (apers was asked today b~y a .Journ al reporter as to what further replies he had received from county chairmen ila reference to General intler's request for separate boxes andl whether. Cnatr man Nettle's renly was a fair sam pie of the replies, Ile said the reply receiv ed from him was by no means a fair indication of the tenor of' thme replies. On the contary, they were in marked contrast, lie hal received r;eples from many counties and from many men ren presenting the Reform faction and they were courteous and1 conciliatory. For instance a chairman of a l.'iedl mont County who ia an ardent Tilinan ito and oflice holder under the present administration writes: Your communication of the 20th to hatndl. I will take great pleasure in pre senting your request to our exercutive commit tee when it meets on '.he 21st instant. 1 think your request perfectly fair and will use my in fluence to h ave In grantedl. ThIs comes very much nearer b~eing a sample of replies fromn Reform chair men. There seems to lbe a spirit of con servatism without regard to party fac tion wvhich Is not only encouraging for Senator Jhatler, hut for the peace a~nd order of the State. An Accident at Oakley TY', .July 4.-Recently amt the (down train from Columbia wats rapid ly approaching this place two negroes, Ned Wehiman and an unknown colored man, were run over and killed at what is known as the "JBroughton bwamp Trestle," about a half mile above the depot. Weh man, it appears, had clear e:1 the trestle, and upon looking back saw that the unknown man was in danger of being inj uredl. Hie sprang to his assistance, and it was in the at tempt to save the man's life that both were killed. As soon as the men were discovered upon the track every effort on the part of the engineer and those in charge of the train was made to avert the accident, but without avail. They were so close upon the men that it was impossible to stop in time. A jury was empanelled and an inquest held by Trial Justice Rt. W. Hains, acting as coroner, and a verdict was rendered in accordance with the above faots,no blame attaching to the railroad company. The wonder is that like acci (louts have not happened before and more frequently, for the negroes, make a public course of the railroad track and trust to luck to get out of the way of passing trains in time to avoid in ji ury. Hlack at ,Johnu (ary Evans, CULMnmIA, S. C., .Jutne 29.-Mr. James Norton, chief clerk in the of11ce of Com ptroller General and candidate for that office, yesterday gave the press the fol lowving self-explanatory card: I see it reported in the papers today that Senator John Gary Evans said at Chesterild yesterday that I approach him wIth poor mouth as to my salary. Mr. Evans is entirely mistaken if he made sueh statement. What I (did do wvas to call his and other members of the general assep-ibly's attention to the unjustt and apparently spiteful discrim inations in the Senate salary bill of 1892. I mentioned the special discrim ination against the office of Comptroll er General. This bill fixed his salary as $1,900 and current expenses at $1, 350.
