He replied: “My frienthi have made me

Washington, I). 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 This amendment was withdrawn,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

U AUNJNfiS OF SOUTH FUN MILLS
Many Southern cotton mills have c’.os-,
isl their last six months’ accounts, which
show earning] that must be very satis
factory to the stockholders and pleasing
to the management. 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.
English. cotton mills ami English mer
chants have their agents located the
and they are constantly on thej)
extend their trade .•Mid pv
teresls in those sectJpiorF Tiny dictate
the manner inwdrt^lMlic goods shall he
put up aJ^tirFiui;! for their market, nnd
in Jjbi<W«y have smqveiKHl for years
monopolizing the trade and at a great
profit.
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.

troops than nt present in tiiis c*ounty,

serious riot and loss of life at Pratt CWy
when T went there to prevent the mob-
b’ng of n negro on trial before the Mayor
of that fity. Yon are also aware that
■oiie of the men who had begn at work
had lieen assassinated, and that in spite
of mv efforts and rour proclamation
armed hands, which it has lieen Impos
sihle for us to locate and capure before
they disperse, have lieen roaming in parts
of the country,- and that there is cthe
.greatest apprehension among those nt

DUN A CO.’S REVIEW.
New York, May 25.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
Storms and floods, prolonged strikes and
large export#'of gold, have done their ut
most this week to give business a vaca
tion. Rut the wants unsatisfied during the
past year belated and mucti lessened, and
yet greater than those of sny other nation
have caused a volume of trade quite large
for- the - season. White Che 4roo Industry
especially B and many others to some ex
tent have been restricted by- scarcity of
coal and coke the number of works resum.
ing has been greater than the number stop
ping from other causes- But it Is a
symptom not to be overlooked that’’ the
demand for manufactured products Instead
of Increasing appears for the moment
rather smaller than before and Indifference
of buyers is shown in cancellation of or
ders hitherto given. It Is a watting season,
but the disposition to wiflt is this year
much intensified. * ,
Works In operation’ are busy- In closing
up prders for a belated-spring demand,
but tliere la even more shrinkage in or
ders for the future than was noticed last
year aa the precursor a>f coming dullness.
Tncre appears no increased demand for
cotton goods and ■ manufacturer* hare
that the accumulation of print etoths which
now sell at 2.69 cents for 64’s miiist present
ly be checked by suspending’production.
Exchanges through eleartog houses .com
pare favorably for the week being only
18.1 per cent, smaller than last year.
Failures diminish In Importance, the
amount of liabilities for the'third week In
May being only $2,204,139. nnd the three,
week's $7,836,872 of which $2,642,687 were of
manufacturing and $5,025,007 of trading con
cerns. TM number of failures reported
thla week Is 18S In the United States
against 259 last year and in Canada 38
against 14 last year and again there are
noted scarcely any of importance.

was convicted was principally circumstan
tial and he denied the crime to the last,

was done and robbing the dead man's

ed Pink Ryan, who was found dead under

whose murder has always been shrouded

had killed three othew men on tbe Ocmul-

of Kuklux. The drop fell at 12:19. and he
died In five minutes, his neck having been

Noticing the objections to negroes go
Into business he said: “It is snggesvd
.as a possible-- reason why the negro**
have not entered largely upon those pur
suits of which f have been speaking,
that 'he white people of the South are
prejudiced against the negro' starting
business enterprise)*; that may he.
But. .Cnoilldly, ladles and gentlemen,
there are very few places in the fytuth
today where the negro’s dollar will no'
go as far as the white man'*, and -there
will t>e fewer, and In business matter*
pure and simple. I aqj, in lined to think

Where the negro’s dollar touches M e
white man’s dollar there grows - up a
union M Interest*, a similarity of destt-
n'ea; together with a consequent feeling
of mutual respect and good will.
Again, )t \ls said that If the negroes
of the South fit themselVes to e.nter the
trades s'ud the fields of skilled lalwm they
will find few place* open to thenj. and
a marked discrimination between .their
daily wages and the wages - of the white

As to the discrimination In wages
men for work should be recqgoir.ed; that
physicians and teacher* should 1st recog
nized as missionaries, and n't a* as 1
sLtants. It was also recommend d that
the assembly elect Rev. S. H- Chester,
secretary of foreign missions, for one
year: that the executive committee ar
range the expense of missionaries and
furnish a child's magazine for 25 cents
a yeor; that the executive commilt' <» be
empowered to employ'- a* man I o' Y’slt

cost not exceeding $l,5ftri per annum.
