Fifty Caffe, of the Free List—Palnt-
luff. and Statuary Remain on
the Latter.
Washington, June 20.—In the ab
sence of Speaker Crisp, Representative
Bailey was appointed speaker pro tern,
yesterday.
The house proceeded in committee of
the whole, to the further consideration
of the anti-option bill. Mr. Coombs,
New York, was the first speaker in op
position to the bill.
Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania advoca
ted the bill.
Mr. Sibley spoke nearly three hours,
time being granted him by Mr. Alexan
der of North Carolina and Pence of
Colorado.
Mr. Aldrich, republican of Illinois in
whose district the Chicago board of
trade is located, was the next speaker.
He had for a year been a member of
the board and spoke from the stand
point of experience. He defined trad
ing in futures, which the bill sought to
restrict If not to annihilate entirely,
and asserted that it was not to the
benefit of the producer.
In the Senate.
The fact that there is no further de
sire on the part of Mr, Quay to delay
progress on the tariff in the senate,
was indicated by his making a motion
to dispense with the reading of Mon
day’s journal. The tariff bill was taken
up at 10:30 o’clock, and the free list
reached at noon. No action was taken
on the paragraph as to when the bill is
to take effect, that question being left
open.
The amendment offered by Senator
Jones was agreed to, adding a para
graph putting on the free list cattle,
horses, sheep, or other domestic ani
mals, that have strayed or been driven
for pasturage across the border line be
tween the United States and Mexica

Paragraphs 378 and 370| “green ap
ples and dried apples.” was struck ont
Paragraph 392, “bacon, hams, beaf,
mutton, pork, and meats prepared or
preserved,” was struck out.
Fifty paragraphs of the free list have
been gone over with very little delay
or friction, except in the matter of
books, and the action of the finance
committee on that, as on all other sub
jects, has prevailed.
Paragraph 57%, paintings and statuary
not otherwise provided for was reached.
Mr. Allen, populist of Nebraska, moved
to substitute for it paragraph 485 of ex
isting law, placing a duty of fifteen per
cent, on painting and statuary. Con
siderable debate followed this proposi
tion but when a vote was reached, it
was rejected. Yeas, 15; nays 38. So
paintings and statuary remain on the
free list.
Mr. Lodge moved to strike quick sil
ver from the free list and after debate
the motion was agreed to -yeas 23!
nays 20.
This was the first instance in which
the finance committee met a defeat.

On the Battle Field of Shiloh.
The house committee on military af
fairs yesterday ordered favorably re
ported the bill of Mr. Henderson repub
lican of Iowa, appropriating #150,000 to
enable the Secretary of war to begin

park at the battle field of Shiloh.
Speaker Crisp is confined to his hotel
with a mild attack of indigestion. Ilia
physicians think he will be able to re
sume his duties in the house today.
afternoon about 3:30, a
good looking, well dressed man, with
smooth shaven face, entered the hotel
and registered as 8. J. Otrey, Atlanta,
Ua. He was assigned to a room on the
third floor. At 9:40, one of the guests
of the hotel heard a pistol shot and at
once notified the hotel clerk. An in
vestigation led to the finding of the
dead body of Otrey lying on the bed in
his room. The revolver was on the bed
by his side as was also a copy of the
book entitled "A Ruling Passion." The
police was called and took charge of
the case.
Among tne dead man's effects were a
white straw hat of late pattern with
the name of J. L. David A Brothers,
Charleston, 8. C„ inside. There was
also found In the dead man's grips a
new guide book of New York city. On
the fly leaf of this book was freshly
written the name apparently in the
same handwriting as on the hotel reg
ister, “8. J. Otrey. Atlanta, Oa., Au
gusta. Ua.,” a line having before been
drawn throu h the Atlanta, Oa. All
the linen in the man's grip was marked
“C. VV. McC" which Indicates that the
man might have registered under an
assumed name.
Twenty cents in money was all that
was found in the suicides pockets. The
dead man had black hair, was of fine
physique and the quality of his cloth
ing was good. From pieces of legal
documents found on the floor of his
room it is believed that the man was
interested in some suit before the
courts of Charleston which had been
sent to a referee,

the Treasury Gold Reserve.

to the Aealatanee of the tiov-
eminent tn the Matter.
Nkw York, June 20.—The presidents
of the leading banks of New York city
met at the Union Trust Company at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon to discuss
the question of supplying gold for ex
port. The treasury gold reserve has
run down to S68,»84.448. the lowest
point since the bond sale. The banks
have about concluded to come to the
assistance of the government in the
matter.
Among those present were President
Williams, of the Chemical; King, of
the Union Trust; Wright, of the Park
National Bank ; Tappen, of the Calla-
tin; Ives, of the Western National;
Clarke, of the American Exchange;
Carter, of the bank of the Republic;
Fahnestock, of the First National;
Simmons, of the Fourth National; Ba
ker, of the Manhatten ; Cannon, of the
Chase National; Sherman, of the bank
of Commerce, and Perkins of the bank
of America.
George C. Williams, president of the
Chemical National Bank, presided at
the meeting. He took a serious view
of the situation. He said that if the
gold reserve in the treasury were al
lowed to fall too low -to #50,000,000 for
instance an alarm might be created
which would be followed by serious
consequences. He said many manu
facturers were carrying on business at
a loss, believing it would be cheaper in
the end to do so than to shut down and
lose trade.
The proposition that the banks fur
nish gold prd rata to exporters was op
posed, and withdrawn.

Ralkioii, N. C., June 20.—The demo
cratic executive committee is consider
ing a proposition, made by Senator
Thomas J. Jarvis, who is filling the
seat made vacant by the death of Sen
ator Vance, under appointment by the
Governor, to call primaries whereby
senators. Mr. Jarvis announces that
he will not be a candidate before the
legislature next winter for the two
years of the nnexpired term of Sena
tor Vance. He will be a candidate for
the fnll term of six years to succeed
senator Uanson. Senator Ransom, how
ever, is anxious to succeed himself and
a hot fight is in progress between the
friends of the two men. Mr. Jarvis
wants the people to say which of the
two candidates they prefer, the one re
ceiving the most votes at the primaries
to have the long term. Senator Ran
som is not unalterably opposed to this
method of election and it is probable
that the convention to be called by the
state executive committee will order
the primaries.

SUICIDE OF A CONGRESSMAN.
Shot tllmarlf lu I hr lleatl—Tb« Act In
duced by Fear.
WAgHfNOTON.June 18. — Ex-Congreaa-
raan Thomas M. Bayne, of i’ennsylva-
nia. shot himself through the head
this morning and expired instantly.
Colonel Bayne retired in his usual
health laat night. YVhen he waked
yesterday morning he called the ser
vant's attention to what he thought
was blood on the pillow. It was blood
and Bayne said he thongt he had hod
a slight hemorrhage from the lunga.
He began talking in a rambling man
ner of the expected return of his wife
this afternoon, and asked if anyone had
gone to the train to meet her. The ser
vant reminded him that Mrs. Bayn*
was not due to return until 2 p. m. He
then quieted down, but the servant,
becoming uneasy, spoke of it to the
other servants when she went down
stairs. About 10:16 a shot was heard,
and when the attendant
reached Bayne's room he was
found in bed with a gaping bole
through his head, and a large revolver
grasped in his right hand. The bullet
had plowed its way through from the
right temple to the left, death of course
being instantaneous. Dr. Sowers was
immediately summoned and gave as
his opinion that Mr. Bayne became so
frightened over the hemorrhage from
his lungs that he became demented.

Atlanta, June SO.—In a tenement
fire at l o'clock thia morning two small
children of Alt Williams, colored, were
burned to death. The alarm was sent
in at 12:30 from box 81, corner of Au
burn and Courtland streets. The
blaze started in a colored settlement
near and as the small wood buildings
were easily inflammable, made rapid
progress. The tenements are in close
proximity to each other, and a large
space was burned.
The house of Alf Williams was one
of the first burned, and the occupants
of the building were asleep. It was
impossible to rescue the two children,
and they were cremated tn the flumes
in the view of hundreds of people.
YVilliams is a hard working, respect.t-
hie negro and has many aympathizci--
among the white citizens of Atlanta
who will aid him in his sad bereave
ment. The fire companies were quick
to respond, and checked the flames as
soon as possible with the disadvantages
attached
A POLITICAL BLUNDER.
Orepkluridge Follower* Now Regret Their
Booming of Settle.
Frankfort, Ky., June 18.--The con
gressional race it duller in this part of
the district than it has been at any
time since the fight began. The Breck
inridge boom, which went up during
his recent visit to the district, has com
pletely collapsed, and his followers
have been listless or disgusted. They
now admit that they have made a po
litical bluuder in boosting Evan Settle,
who, instead of making accessions from
the Owens line, has gained nearly all
of his strength from the rsnks of the
present congressman.
The Breckinridge men. however, will
not yet admit that their man has lost
all hope of victory, but from their move
ments it is evident they fear defeat and
realize that their greatest hope now is
to hold a balance of power and defeat
Mr. Owens, who, by his aggressive
campaign, has gained the animosity of
the Breckinridge forces almost to a
man.
There is a deni of speculation going
on as to the result in the event of a
final narrowing doifn of the contest
between Settle and Owens, and it is
generally conceded that the vote in that
event would be pretty close. The Set
tle men claim they will fail heir to the
entire support of Breckinridge, and
that this would be sufficient, with the
vote he now has, to give Settle * com
fortable majority.

A large crowd witnessed some very in

TRAGEDY IN CAROLINA.
Th. Brltl.li Knibasaador at the Coart off the
KaUer Withdraws From Service.
Bkkmn, June 2a - It is reported that
Sir Edward Malet, British embassador,
has sent his resignation to his govern
ment in Ixmdon stating as the reason
for his wish to retire that it is impossi
ble for him to longer successfully rep
resent the interests of England at the
court of Kaiser, since, owing to recent
acts of the British cabinet, the confi
dence of the Kmporer has been lost.
It is said that the Kaiser, has bitterly
reproached the British cabinet for tak
ing unfair advantage of his straight
forwardness in dealing with England
and also accused Sir Edward Malet with
having countenanced the English cabi
nets duplicity. Sir Edward Malet, it
Is asserted, protested to the Kaiser
against the accusation, declaring that
he was as much surprised as the Kaiser.
The emporer, then according to report,
informed Sir Edward that England
oould thank herself if henceforth he
should reserve the friendly policy of
Germany and return to Prince Bis-
marcks distrust of everything English.
