Mr. Ou hwalte and Mr. Hull, of I<*w*. defended the report. They said it was not the intention of the Secretary of War to move those Indians confined at Mount Vernon for the commission of crimes, but Inten.led to give, the women and children the tame chance that other human beings have to do for them selves. Neither the Government nor the people of the country, they said, desired t^ keep two hundred women and children in prison all their lives for the slca of their'fathers.^ The report wa agreed to.

For. the only pretext advanced by, the Governor In support of hi* present condnef will noT bear Examination. He states In Ilia proclamation that tue Supreme Court "having adjourned without In any wise giving expression In regard to the„ Act of 1*93. the aald Act la In full force and effect and will be enforced In accordance with m yoath of office." Rut he haa not left hlm- aelf thl^ excuse.

I have'discharg ed the constables, ordered all dispensaries to close, and have quit business a* State barkeeper. Tho State bar has ol.iaed bns- Inoaa.” Tn another Interview puhlishot two days later he said: ."AJI I hnve to aay la that the Legisla ture'gave me~*urb«f!ty to enfo-ce the dla- pen*ury law. When-fhe Court* declared tho dispensary lave dead whv. of course, my authority to enforce It dies with It, I do not aee what right T have to nttonipt to maintain the eons'abulary to enforce a prohibition law If It Is such.” It was ‘‘the Dispensary law.'* not the Act of 1892 only, that he regarded ns “de clared dead.’’, and he Jield the same view when the later and .supplementary decis ion waa rendered In tho Florence teal eases. When Interviewed In regard to the effect of that declalon. on May 8. he waa asked "what he was going to do Jo aoe that flic law as construed by the court was enforced;" He replied; "I am very glad that we arc not ’eft an uncertain condition and we know what Is the full Intention of the Conrt.

John Barleycorn, when “for Knglnnd’s good he yields his blood" in the form of bitter beer, passes first through the sweet stage of malt. In which condition he can easily be eon- verted into the substance known a* maltose, or mwlt sugar. It is the same with palm jnlre. When simply tsilled down it produces paint aiigar, but when allowed to ferment it turns Into an excellent substitute for bass pale ale, called palm wine, or toddy. This is. Indeed, the only original and genuine toddy, all others being spu rious imitations.

According to Mr. AlfiM Russel Wal lace, this sugar palm Is destined in all probability to replace the' enjie in the next fifty years or so. It has the great practical advantages that It will grow on the poorest and rockiest soil, and that it can be cultivated with the light est and most intermittent labor—qualities calculated to endear It at once to thp mind of Qunshle. A tree which w+Il thrive onxneres of wasted ground, which will yield the best sugar at little labor or expense, and which is exaetlv adapted to the habits and manners of civilised people, ought to turn the tables at last on that objectionable and flavorless in- t^loper, licet root.AThe Crtrnhlll Mnga- A SRNRRLESS GRUSADE Speaking of the recent triumph of the American Protective Association In the NnshvIHe primaries.

Washington, July *27.—There were very few is-ofiue in the Senate galleries today, and the attendance on ine floor was small. Senator Harris occupied the ••hair. The rending of yesterday’s jour nal waa dispensed with and the > anal routine business proceeded. Then ’he conference report on the army appropria tion was taken up. In explaining tn# appropriation Senator Cockrell said lhat the bj; as It passed the House apprir priating $23,0X41,1)24 nnd as it passed the Senate, $22,5U2,.'W4. and that no agreed to by tbe conference the bi’l ap propriated $23,<’VU3,3S4.

Then at\l;lf» p. m. the House mes sage asking further conference on the tariff hill waa laid before the Senate the pending qeation being the point of order yesterday againot-the motion of Senator Washburn, of Mtunesqta, To In struct the Senate conferees to recede from the differential duty of one-eighth of a cent a pound on sugar, the point of order being that it ja not in order to 8 've instruction to a "full and fr#e con- renre." Senators Manderaon and f’latt argued agalnat the point of order. The decision of the presiding officer. Harris, waa 4u favor sustaining thp point of order nnd excluding the amend ment. The decision was appealed from by Senator Washburn and the motion to lay the ap|>cal on the table waa made by Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia. The vote was taken amkl great excite meat and it rnmlted in a tie—yeas. 32: nays. 32. The three Populists senator*. AJlen, Kyle and Peffer, voted with the Republicans, ao djd Hill. and . the vote of Irby was paired with Mr. Smith, New Jersey. The only senator who I being paired did not vote was Sena tor Stewart, Nevad*. He was present in the chamber, but . refrained from voting. The* net result was that the motion to !ay the motion on the tnhle not having had a majority failed. The question then was that the decision of tho chair should stand aa the judgment of the Senate, and it waa also decided in the.negative In the same way, the vote being identically the same as in tim first instance. The next vote was on agreeing to Senator Washburn’s mo tion. and it also failed from the same cause—the lack of a majority—the vote l>eing for the third time 32 to 32. the three Populists and Republican* voting aye, and the Democrats no.

On Hepyember 26, ifel, he says, “It was the writer’s good fortune to pas* the night with several oniitliologUts at the Bartholdi Statue lu observing the noc turnal flight or birds. The weather was most favorable for our purpose. From tbe balcony at the base of the statue we saw the first bird enter the rays of light thrown, out by the torch one hundred and ilfty feet above us at eight o’clock. Dur ing the two succeeding hours birds were constantly beard and many were seen.' At 10 o'clock a light rain Ivegan to fall, and for three hours it rained Intermittently. Almost simultaneously there occurred a marked Increase lu the number of birds seen about tbe light, and within n tew minutes there were hundreds where before there was one, while the air .was fllled with the calls and chirps of the passing host. The birds presented a singular ap pearance. Aa they entered the limits of the divergent rays of light they became slightly, luminous, but aa (heir rapid wlng^ heats brought them Into the glare-cf the tofeb Ttrey reflected the full splendor of tbe light and resembled enormous tireflle* or swarms of huge golden bees.

This horseless carriage competition was organized by the Petit Journal, with the object of ascertaining the best systeih of locomotion of the kind, which in France, where great districts are in adequately supp led with railroads, wou'd be of the utmost advantage.
