VOL. XXI, NO. 23. DARLINGTON, S. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1894. WEEK IN WASHINGTON! Programme for the Coming Few Days in Both Branches. 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. Markdiam, Miss', June 5.—The trial of Colonel E. S. Hobgood, at Hatties burg, ended Saturday.

Baxbadoaa vastsrdav 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. BANK LOOTERS SENTENCED. r. CARS’ DEADLY CRASH Fatal Accidents on the Trolley Lines of Atlanta.

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.
