FIGHTING ON THE TARIFF BILL FORCED
Vsnk Tu Debate StIU oa in the Hotue,
And no Kad Yet Spied—Trojan Horae
Kmbarraaalnfly Spring* up
la the Senate End.
Washington, June 5.—The end of the
debate on the bill to repeal the law tax-
jpg the issues of state and other banks
and associations is not yet in sight in
the house, although an effort will be
made today to draw it to a close. It
has keen the desire of S, aker Crisp
and other democratic leaders, especial-
ly those interested in the management
of the appropriation bills, that today
should see the close of the general de
bate on the bill and there has been the
__work of bringing in an order from the
committee on rule to that effect. But
that has been opposed by the republl-
cens, who want the debate to exhaust
itself, and by a number of democrats,
of whom Messrs. Raynor of Maryland
and Harter of Ohio are types. The
former opposes repeal and the latter
favors it, but both agree that discus
sion should proceed two weeks at least,
as in their opinion that period of time
could be profitably spent in considera
tion of the subject. That the time
would be occupied is proved by the
length of the list of those who have
asked Chairman Richardson for time
in which to speak. It is probable that
the order referred to will be reported
by the committee on rules during the
day to test the question. If it shall be
agreed to, it will be taken to mean that
the repeal bill will past: if It shall
be defeated, the fate of the bill be to
be “talked to death.’’ In that event
the executioners may consent to re
duce the limit within which to perform
that duty and end the matter within a
day or two.
When the state bank tax bill shall
have been disposed of, the Indian ap-'
propriation bill will be taken up. An
unusually long discussion of its pro
visions is anticipated, because of the
many radical changes Mr. Uolmaa has
Introduced into the bill Next in or
der, of general legislation, will be thq
general deficiency bill for the year
ending the 80th instant, which will
have been reported to the house in the
meantime.
The Week In the Senate.
Two months of tariff debate have
passed In the senate and the end is not
yet within telescopic vision. Republi
can senators stated ten days ago that
the close of this present week would
find the sugar schedule still undisposed
of. The course of events in connec
tion with the facts elicited by the sugar
trust investigation of the special com
mittee as far as that investigation has
proceeded, and the facts which it is ex
pected will be developed In the further
sessions of that committee seem to
make it possible that this threat may
be verified. Some of the leaders on the
republican side insist that the rote can
not with decency be taken on the su
gar sehedule until the investigation into
the allegations of improper influence
to secure th<Tadoption of that schedule
have been disposed of. Several of the
populist senators and also Mr. Hill are
on record as favoring this view. The
•olid republican vote and the populists
or most of them, it is expected, will
rally to the support of Mr. Mandersons
proposed amendment to retain the
bounty on domestic sugar instead of
paying an increased tax on the impor
ted product Mr, Harris, the chosen
captain of the democratic cohorts on
the tariff question has given fair notice
of an intention to force the fighting.
It is understood that the republicans
will not oppose an extension of the
session to something like 8 o’clock, but
various threats are made as to what
course may be pursued if Mr. Harris
a'tempts to urge what the republicans
call “Extraordinary measures.” The
tactics pursued by the republicans last
week, were successful in drawing out
a number of democratic senators and
it is understood the same policy will be
continued this week, with the hope
that the .democrats will be compelled
to participate in the debate.
The fifteenth of June, at which
time the democrats have said the bill
would pass, is not very distant but there
seems little chance of a flnal vote by
that time. It can lie said with absolute
certainty that the sugar schedule will
not be dropped until the republicans
have had an opportunity to discuss the
testimony taken by the investigation
committee.
There is another matter that will
tend to prolong this debate about which
nothing has heretofore been said but
which will probably come to the front
very soon.
An amendment to the bill will be io
troduced probabl^ this week which
providea.for the repeal of ten per cent,
bank tax This may prove an embar
rassing “Trojan horse” in the camp.
It is argued that such an amendment
would be quite as pertinent to a tariff
bill as the income tax sections especial
ly as the repeal of this tax was one of
the democratic platform pledges.
Hobfood Acquitted But Ru-Arre»tud.

ABUNDANT YIELD IN TEXAS.
Ac-reufa Hie Largest, plant the nralthleet.
Cotton Prospect* the lirlxhtcat for Years.
Houston, Tex., June 6.—This morn
ing The Post, whose crop report last
season proved to be accurate as to
acreage and yield, publishes the first
rafiort of the crop of 1894. The reports
are from every cotton growing county
in Texas and are full and complete.
With scarcely an exception there ie
a general increase in acreage, aggrega
ting on a conservative estimate at least
ten per cent, son s of the l irgest cot
ton producing count es in t le state
showing an increase oi ah per cent. In
one county where no cotton was raised
last year ten thousand acres are how
under cultivation this year. Fabu
lously high prices for cotton seed last
season—814- to 118. a ton, stimulated
prices so that seven cent cotton meant
10 cent* a pound on old methods where
the seed was wasted. Resides this, the
immigration has been very large, the
new comers cultivating cotton through
necesaity and adding to the acreage.
At no time iu the states history has
there been promise of such an enor
mous yield. In the past few days sea
sonable rains have fallen over a large
area of country. All of the reports
give conditions as being fair to the best
ever known, the latter being in the
majority. The plant is healthy and
vigorous and the fields are clean and
in a good state of cultivation. No des
troying insects or worms have made
their appearance and the outlook is
generally for au early crop.
From present indications the yield
should exceed two and a quarter mil
lion bales. The crop of 1893-4 is be
tween 1,900,000 and 9,000,000 bales and
grown under the most unfavorable
weather conditions, the acreage being
over 4,000,000 : hence this seasons crop
will be difficult to handle by January
with an open fall.
Ten days ago bolls from Fort Bend
and Brazoria county plantations were
exhibited here.
WILL ISSUE NO MORE BONDS.
The Administration Ofticlullj Announces
It* Intrptlon to That Kffact.
'Vasw.noton, June; 8. —It is stated
th At the administration has concluded
ni t to issue any more bonds or recoup
the gold reserve, even if this reserve
should fall many million dollars below
its present figures, 874,000,000. This
i-nnouneeifient was semi-offieialiy made
last night. At tlie close of yesterday’s
business, including the 871,000,000 gold
reserve, the treasury’s slated net bal
ance was 8118,319,230. This gives a
workmg currency balance of $40,000,-
000 and even should the excess of ex
penditures over receipts continue, the
net balance wilt hardly fall below $98,-
090,000 before August 1st, by which
time hopes are entertained that tariff
uncertainty w ill have been removed as
a factor in making calculations for the
future in treasury finances. Those fa
miliar w ith the effect of tariff legiala-
tion on government finances do not an
ticipate any pronounced effect for six
mouths after the bill goes into effect,
but do believe that a halt will be called
to such a heavy decline iu receipts as
compared with last year. I he most
pessimistics do not believe with all the
changes against the treasury that the
net balance by October 1st next will
have declined to $73,100,000. It was at
this point when the last bonds was
made.

convicted bank looters, were arraigned
in the federal court here yesterday for
sentence. The defense, led by ex-At-
torney General Miller made a despe
rate effort to secure a new trial but
failed. Francis Collin got ten years
and Pereival Coffin five years, while
Reed, who was merely a tool for the
Coffins, was released on suspended
sentence, mercy being shown in his
case. The three men are accused as
officers of the Indianapolis cabinet
company with aiding Theodore P.
Haughey in wrecking the Indianapolis
National Bank, of which the latter was
president. The ambitious young Cof
fins gained the confidence of the aged
bank president and secured vast sums
of money from him on fictitious values.
Haughey will be sentenced Tuesday.

Atlanta, June 5.—In the frightful
wreck on the Traction line yesterday
morning, twelve persons were hurt,
and yesterday afternoon little Ralph
Arnold was ground to death under the
wheels of a Consolidated car.
The accident occured almost directly
in front of c.Mi South Pryor street,
where the parents of the unfortunate
littla fellow live. The father of the
dead boy is Mr. Garnett Arnold, who la
in the service of D. H. Dougherty A. Co.,
and who is a widely known young busi
ness man of the city.
At the point where the killing occnr-
ed there is a moderate grade and the
deadly car was rocking down this grade
at a lively pace when the little one was
eanght under the wheels. It is about
three blocks south of Georgia avenue
and just north of where the Traction
company’s Grant Park line is crossed.
Mortorman Ivy’s conductor left the
car at Georgia avenue as usjjal yester
day afternoon just about four o'clock,
and the car proceeded toward the
southern terminus of the line. There
were several passengers on the cer and
Ivy had to glance back frequently to
catch their signals when they wanted
to get off.
The car was moving down the slight
grade near the point mentioned and
Motorman Ivy had his eye turned to
wards the passenger*. As he stood
thus the car gave a lurch, there was
a sickening thrill, and a short crv. The
passengers started up in alarm and Ivy
instantly realising what had happened
reversed the current and hurriedly
turned on the brakes. The car atopped
a few feet from where tha horrible af
fair occurred and the motorman and
the passengers got off.
The sight that met the gaze of the
motorman was one that he will never
forgeL
With face and hands terribly man
gled, was the body of little Ralph Ar
nold, quite still. Unseen by any one
on the car, the little fellow had wan
dered upon the tracks, and at a mo
ment when the motorman’a eyea were
not upon the track In front, the car
struck and almost instantly killed him.
Fatality of the Traction Wrack.
Twelve persons were wounded in a
front end collision yesterday at 9:30
o'clock on the line of the Atlanta Trac
tion Company, three quarters of a mile
east of Decatur.
The following is a list of the woun
ded:
D. C. Heath, motorman, aged 30, leg
broken twice, arm broken, head bruis
ed.
Charles L. White, conductor, bruises
about the neck and head, and wrist

Mollie Scott, colored, of 106 Frazier

Resolution* by the National Strike Commit
tee Look to a Settlement.
Collhhus, (>., June 6.—The miners
national strike committee adopted the
following resolution at 10 o'clock last
night after being in executive session
since 10 o'clock that morning:
Resolved, that we, the members of
the national executive committee and
the district presidents, to whom was
delegated the power to act for the
miners at the last convention of th*
United Mine Workers of America, de
clare our willingness to meet with the
operators of the mines in the various
districts, to attempt and if possible ef
fect a settlement of mining prices.
Resolved, that the conference of rep
resentatives of the miners and opera
tor* of the different divisions be ar
ranged for and held not later than Sat
urday, June 9.
Many conferences will be held on
that day.
The resolution was opposed by both
President Me Brine and Secretary Mc-
Bryde Inasmuch as they have all along
declared that they would consent only
to a national settlement of the strike.
The resolutions looks very much like a
confession that the miners are beaten.

Montgomery, Ala., June - A valua
ble find of lead has been made In Dal

owned by a Mrs. Smith, a wiiow lady.
For years it has been found impossible
to plow a large portion of the land, the
ground being tough and evidently full
of some mineral. A few days ago some
of the earth was carried to Selma and
turned over to a chemist for analysts.
After a thorough examination hd de
clared the specimen contained 83 per
cent, of lead of the finest quality.
As the ore abounds in enormous quan

road to big fortune.
