C., May. 24. -Imme diately after the presentation of a few petltious and the introduction of a couple of bills tile resolution offered yes terday by Senator Kyle, declaring nett trality in the affaire of the Sandwich Islands, was laid before the Senate and Senator Kyle made a statement in ex planation and support of it. It was well khoffn. he sa.id. thnt It xras not the pur pose of the United States Government to use force for the restoration of the deposed queen, but he thought that, a declaration to that effect would aid very materially, in settling the affairs on the Islands. Senator Daniel suggested that In the absence of the Chairman of the Com mittee on Foreign; ittfatidn* no action •hould be taken. He was informed, how ever, by Senator Kyle that Senator Mor gan appro veil the resolution and had taken part In framing it. nnd he then withdrew all objection.^- He added that it was evident to all that there was no purpose in the present United States Government to exercise force to restore the overthrown government. The discussion was cut short by the Vice President laying before the Senate at 10:30 the- Tariff Mil. Notices of amendment to the Kyle resolutions were given by Senators Manderson. Teller nnd Palmer. The Senate - then proceeded with the consideration of the Tariff lull, the question being on the tin plate para graph, Item No. 121. The amendment originally reported by the Finance Com mittee was to reduce the duty from 1 1*5 cents a pound (in th House bill) to ft cent. This amendment was withdrawn, leaving the House rate standing. The rate under the existing law is 2 1-5 cents a pound. The pending amendment was one of fered yesterday by Senator Aldrieti to make the rate 1 1-2 cents. Senators Platt and Hale taking Sena tor Gorman's speech yesterday' for their text carried the heavy end of a long political debate that had to come before a vote oonld be reached. Finally Sena tor Harris stopped the talk by a motion to table Senator Aldileb’a amendment and his motion was agreed to—yeas, 3(5; nay. 20. (Allen, Trby, Kyle and Peffer voting in' the affirmative.) Paragraph No. 121 was then airroed to fixing the duty on tin plates at 1 1 5c. per pound as in the House bill. ‘ The next paragraph, 122, as to steel Ingots, die blocks, billets and bars, shafts, shafting, etc., was amended by striking out of the House hill the rate of 25 per cent, advalorem and inserting speHfie rates and classifications ranging from 3-10 of a cent a pound upon the above materials valued at 1 cent per pound or less to 4 and 7-10 cents per pound upon values atsive 1(5 cents per pound. The hexFparagraph 123 was amended so as to rend, wire rods, rivet, screw fence and other iron^'or steel rods whether round, oval, flat or square, or in any other shape, and nail rods in coils or otherwise valued at 4 cents or less per pound 4-10 cents per pound, valued over 4 cents per pound 3-4 cents per pound: provided that all round iron or steel rods smaller than- No. (5 wire guage shall tie classed and dutiable as wire) To the next paragraph 124 iron or steel wire. Senator Allen, (Pop.) of Nebraska moved an amendment to admit free of duty wire commonly used for fencing, bailing and binding purposes. Senator Jones, while favoring the object pro posed said that it was impossible- to dis tinguish the purposes for which wire was imported and that the effect of the'amendment would be to admit at! wire free of duty. Senator Allen con tradicted that statement and argued in favor of his amendment. He proposed to barbed fence wires and Senator Jones to modify it, however, so as to confine it expressed his willingness $o consent to that This-proposition provoked a polid cal debate but finally Senator amendment was added to amendment with the iiiule+standing that the phrae»>ology jvonfd be so changed ns to admit j^U-fSnee wire free of Muty, and thep^-Tfie whole paragraph (124) as was agreed to as follows: “Wire, round Iren or steel wire all sixes nog -.smaller than 13 wire gauge 1 1-4 cents per pound; smaller than 13 and not smaller than 16 wire gauge 11-2 cents per pound; smaller than 16 . vire gauge 2 cents par pound; all other non or steel wire and wire or steei, , - oonjuiouiy known, as crinoliue wire cor- * **4t wire dfilf‘rods. ne^dltfHrlre, piano wire, dock and watch wire, and »!T whether polished or u n polish- •rari wkm. hun■,(re foot (182), on cast iron pipe (133) fl-10 cent* per pound nnd on cast iron vessel*, s’ove pin tea. etc., (134), 8-10 cent j>er pound.

Many of tlnqn r<- turu from 4 to 8 per rent, for the six month* in dividends to their stockholders beside* carrying quite an amount to surplus. These earning* have lieen made during one >t the worst depressions in the cotton business the country has ever known, find during a time that the cot ton mills in N«*w England have hardly oeen able to get a new ddilar for an pld one, although many of them have tot |tfts*t*d th’dr div : dends, but paid them from their surplus. The fact that most >f the cotton -niiils in the South have been’ able to run and dispose of their goods during this long period of ^depres sion 1ms.been surprising to New England' manufacturera, whHe our mill* which Iinve had a long period of years to es- i at dish a high reputation, with every advantage to gain a foothpld Isith in J'o homo and foreign marketi, h ive been obliged to stop on account of inability to disjM>se of their goods. These facts Lav * sonic weight with the imm.-fpement of our New England _mi!ls and skouhl set them to thinking as to whether it is not .advisable to change their jsdicy as to tin* marketiiig of tlieir gtssls aliroad I bore is' a huge export trade that we could have by putting forth nn effort to obtain it. Tiis trade is a* present in the liaml of the English to a large ex tent, and tlery Intend to diold it if iiossi- hlc, but in most cases whore our gisxls have been sold in cbm|K*titioii they have giv<*n gmit satisfaction, and leaves no drmbt that could they be as easily M>- iained as the gosals of English uianu- faiture .they would have the prefer ence. The difficulty of ctituining our goods in' ‘many foreign countries is very ;i i*pl. Take the South Ame'de.in umr kets, for irfstanee.' In some of'th*“ large sencoast cities Amerieait cot on goods, to u limited extent, can be .Iniil, imt back in the interior, In most of those countries, it would be next *n impossitib* to.find a yard of the American product.

American eothm- mills slmuld (levote more attention to their export trade, and they can do it none t«si -soon for their Interesls. It can ’he nbrniritaf only by stationing smart, capable repr. sen- latives in those markets, and then lay ing iMrtieulnr atteuljou tu the manner in making* aud piitting'iip the g.*>ds fur different sect ions. There are very few who realize the aiuouTit of cotton good* that is sent abroad- by our Southern cotton miKs, and to tills, pertinin ns much ns any other one thing, can he attributed their success during the jiast six months. The Southern cotton mid managers should feel proud of these facts, and are to Ik* congratu’.at *d that, while Northern mills, on both white and colored goods, lave had to be operated on short time, and,in many cases stop ped entirely, not being able to sell tlieir product, iheir mills have in so many .notances been able to run at. a good prolit. and to keep their goods well sold nmerjs. o!ded that it would fee w)«o to have more troops than nt present in tiiis c*ounty, stationol at Knsley City, where they can \m m^ire readily used to prevent out breaks nnd InwlessnesH. whu-h now s»'ems inevitable.

He also confessed to having kill ed Pink Ryan, who was found dead under tiie shed of the Metropolitan Street Rati- way Company a year and a half ago and whose murder has always been shrouded in mystery. He further confessed that he had killed three othew men on tbe Ocmul- gee river and that he belonged to a band of Kuklux. The drop fell at 12:19. and he died In five minutes, his neck having been luroken. He made no confession of rellg on and said he could live as weIT Th beH a* an where else. He was defiant and sullen to the last and exhibited no symptoms of weakness on the scaffold.
