THE SENATE.
Ia the senate Monday, Mr. Gail intro?
duced a joint resolution to suspend the j
list of swamp and ovei flowed public !
lands ia Florida until further action of j
congress, aod asked for its passage.
Auer considerable discussion it went
ofer without action and the Senate took
lip the pension appropriation bill. The
pension appropriation bill passed with
but little discussion and without amend?
ment. The agricultural appropriation
bill was reported and placed on the cal?
endar. The conference report on the
military academy bill was agreed to.
A conference was ordered on the sundry
civil appropriation bill and Messrs. Alli?
son, Hale and Gorman were appointed
conferees on part of the senate. A bill,
local to the District of Columbia, was
under discussion when, at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, on motion of Mr. Faulk?
ner, business was suspended, in order
that fitting tributes might be paid to
thc memory of his late colleague, sen?
ator John E. Kenna, who died in Wash?
ington last January. Mr. Faulkner
offered the usual resolution of sor?
row and condolence, and went on
to deliver a eulogy on the dead senator.
Mr. Faulkner was followed by Messrs.
Frye, GormaD, Blackburn, Cullom, Gray.
Vest, Stewart, Daniel, Hawley, and by
Kenna's successor in the senate-Mr.
Camden. The resolutions were unani?
mously adopted and thc senate at 6 :
o'clock adjourned till ll o'clock Tues?
day.
In the senate, Tuesday, the naval ap- '
propriation bill was taken up with
amendments and reported from the Com- J
mittee on appropriations, being first act- .
ed upon. The amendmeit appropri?t- *
ing $300,000 for a naval review was <
agreed to after a somewhat caustic cri ti- 1
cism of the Vii lard petition for money j
to entertain foreign dignitaries in New '
York. The Hudson river bridge b:ll was J
then taken up, but it was displaced by -
the agricultural appropriation bill which s
passed with a few unimportant amend* '
ments. Mr. Teller gave notice that be *
would move to take up the McGarrahan '
uill Wednesday morning, and Mr. Hill 1
jave a like notice as to the Hudson river j
bridge bill. The senate then, at 6 o'clock 1
[>. m., adjourned. fi
Soon after meeting, the senate, Wed- J
lesday, on motion of Mr. Sherman, went *
nto the executive session without oppo- 8
;ion from the democrats. The doors J
frere closed for about half an hour, and k
ivhen they were reopened the routine 8
norning business was proceeded with. 8
lt the close of the morning hour Mr. J
lill, in pursuance of notice given Tues- j f
lay evening, moved to proceed to the j *
?ons?deration of the Hudson river bridge, j 8
ignoring the request of Mr. Teller to with- j9
Iraw the motion until the McGarra- j *
ian bill was taken up, it was laid '
tside temporarily (cot losing the j '
ight of way) in order to have a
he postofiiee appropriation bill consid- F
:red. The first amendment that pro- 1
'oked discussion was the one striking 8
?ut of the bill the items of $196,000 for a
pecial facilities on trunk lines. Mr. ; ?
?ali opposed the amendment, but moved j
0 strike out of the paragraph words | .
pec?fying the route as being ?*frcm { jj
Springfield, Mass., via New York and j J
Washington, to Atlanta and New Or- j 8
eau?," and also to strike out the proviso 1
hat no part of the appropriation r
hall be expended unless the T
?ostmaster general shall deem such .
xpenditure necessary in order to promote
he interest of the postal service. He j
rgued in favor of sending a fast mail by
he Tampa line. Mr. Call's proposition ?
ras antagonized by Messrs. Gordon, j ^
linton and Daniel, who argued in favor j j,
f retaining the paragraph as it came j ?|
rom the house. A conference was or- t r
ered on the naval appropriation bill, j
Hscussion on the postoffice appropriation j
ill was continued by Messrs. White, Cul?
bin, Gorman, Butler, Vilas, Pasco and JJ
Jail and was again interrupted in order *
:> have the conference report on the 8
undry civil appropriation bill acted *
pon. This action deprived the Hudson r;
iver bill of its right of way. Pending Jj
iscuesion, a conference was ordered on j 0
ae agricultural appropriation bill, and j*
lesars. Allison, Cullom and Call were
opointed conferees on part of the senate,
nd the conference report on the District c
f Columbia appropriation bill was *
greed to. e
The galleries of the senate were crowd- tl
d all day Thursday, but there was very tl
trie in the proceedings that could inter- ti
3t them. The postoffice appropriation t?
ill, which had been partlv considered t<
Wednesday was completed, the paragraph vi
1 relation to the southern fast mail g
aving been modified by the adoption
f the following substitute: "For ncc- c
.sary and spacial facilities on a trunk a
ne or line^, $196,614 : provided that the c,
ostmaster general shall select a trunk
ne or lines which shall carry the mails,if ^
e shall deem the expenditure a satisfac- c
)ry and profitable one." The postoffice f,
ppropriation bill was followed by the 0
ndian appropriation bill. This latter j,
ootained an amendment reported S1
rom the committee appropriating eight
nd a half million dollars to pay thc
?herokees for lands ceded by them in ^
ndian territory lying between Oklaho- a
ia and Kansas. Thc amendment pro- t|
oked some discussion but was eventu- .
Hy agreed to. Then the deficiency bill |

?as actci upon. Both thc Mc- tj
larrahan and New York bridge C(
ills were crowed out bv the appropria- a]

ciency bill thc senate, at 6 o'clock v
. m.. took recess until 8 o'clock p. m. n
"iie session was resumid at S o'clock and \

ee under a suspension ot tho rules,

recedes on the Sherman bond amend?
ment thc house conferees shall insist OD

or disapproval. Mr. Wise moved to sus?
pend the rules and concur in the senate

After agreeing to the conference re
port on the diplomatic and consular ap?
propriation bill, the house, Tuesday
morning, proceeded to the consideration
of the Alabama contested election case

The anti-option bill was finanlly de?
feated Wednesday by a vote of 172 to 124.
General Hatch took his last desperate
chance of its passage by moving to sus?
pend the rules, and agree to the senate
amendments. The motion required a
two-thirds vote. The opponents of the
bill were determined. Tinder a motion
to suspend the rules no leeway, how?
ever, is given for fiibustering and the
most they could do was to marshal their
forces for a vote. Tom Johnson, of
Ohio, assumed the leadership of the op?
position. The speeches of both sides
were exceedingly caustic. The vote re?
sulted 172 to 124, thirty-seven le3S than
the necessary two-thirds. The vote in?
dicates the strong drift of sentiment
against the measure since last June,
when it had twenty-five to spare on a
two-thirds vote. Before announcing ad?
journment, the speaker made the follow?
ing appointments : Visitors to the naval
academy, Messrs. Cummings, Blount,
and Robinson. Visitors to the military
acadenT Messrs. Wheeler, Gorman and
Bingham.
Beyond aa unusually large audience in
the jralleries and the great noise upon
the floor, there was nothing in the house
Thursday indicating that the fifty-second
congress is in its expiring hours. The
bouse is waiting for thc senate to act
upsn the appropriation bills. Mr. Oates
called up the message of the president
vetoing the bill to prescribe the number
c>f district attorneys and marshals in the
judicial district of Alabama. The bill
svas passed over the veto-yeas, 178: nays,
54. Senate amendments to the postoffice
appropriations bill were nonconcured in
ind the bill was sent to conference. Mr.
lolman suuraitte;. ihe conference repon;
m the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The sundry civil appropriation bill con- ?
limed the time of the house. There !
vas a fight over over the New York cus- j
om house provision and over the world's
columbian exposition admandment. The
eport was agreed to-yeas, 131, nays,
.19, but it is a disagreeing report. Mr.
?opkins moved to concur in the senate
imendment appropriating $236.375 for
he world's Columbian commission, fie?
bre the motion was disposed of 8 o'clock j t
irrived, the hour appointed for the house I 3
o pay tribute to the memory of the late j
senator Kenna, of West Virginia
>nd appropriate resolutions were
idopted. Resolutions relative to
he death of Senator Hearst, of Calt
oroia,were also adopted,but no speeches
vere made. The sundry civil appropri
ition bill was again taken up, and the
enate amendments relative to the world's
air were unanimous'y non-concurred in.
This was done in order to facilitate the
ransaction of business. The bill was
gain sent to conference. Mr. Dockery j
resented the conference report on the .
egislative appropriation bill. Ifc was ^
greed to. Unfinished business was ! j
, motion of Mr. Stump to sus- 1

The motion was agreed to-03 to 32.

ppropriation bill were non-concurred
n. Mr. Boatner moved to suspend the
ules and pass the joint resolution pro?
dding for private clerks for repr?sent??
mes not chairmen of committees, which

; ever and scene3 of violence arc just as
equent. Wednesday night a fire, sup
>8ed to be incendiary, broke out at the
x house of the company in South

wo hours later a riot occurred in the
me vicinity. The public is losing

ie fact that every labor organization in

arcd "boycotts on all who patronize the

TRADE REVIEW.
Dan k Co., and Bradstreet Talk of the
Business Outlook.
R. G. Dun & Co's weekly review ol
trade says : "The collapse of the coal
combination formed a year ago by the
Reading railway and a sharp depression
in Sugar stocks and a few railway stocks
has made the week one of unusual excite?
ment in speculative circles. But while
?3,000,000 in gold has gone abroad this
week and a half million more is ex?
pected to go at once, there is no increase
of apprehension about the monetary fu?
ture, and the business world pays little
attention to the action or inaction of con?
gress, though iccreasing probabilities of
an extra session are regarded with some
interest.
"The volume of trade has not been di?
minished except by severe storms and the
bo.iday Wednesday, and the activity of
great industries is unchecked.
"AtMemth/s trade is looking up and
business is fair. At Nashville, though,
collections are not quite so good. At
Atlanta trade is sued. Mobile reports a
fair trade and satisf jctory collections, and
at New Orleans general trade is only fair,
but building contracts are heavy. The
mills are having ali the orders they can
fill. Sugar is in light demand and rice
duli. Savannah reports a duli trade, but
an active demand for money, while trade
at Charleston is improving.
"Iron U still the weakest of the great
industries, and pig not of the best brand
is a shade weaker than a week ago.
Business in bars is unsatisfactory;' plates
are very weak, and while structural
works are full of orders, competition is
so sharp that prices have little chance to
improve.
"Cotton manufac'uring is thoroughly
healthy, the dividends at Fall River be?
ing the largest for four years, and some
advances are noted in the prices of goods,
while prints and print cloths are very
firm.'
"Business failures during the past
week number for the United States, 193;
Canada, 37; total, 230.
WHAT BRADSTREET SAYS,
Bradstreet's rep rt says: Trough
out the eastern and middle states favor?
ing conditions ia som? leading lines con?
tinue ti dominate. Th? improvement in
(he prices of iron and steel at Pittsburg
<eems to have checked buying, which is
now frc.m har.d to m uth again. Corn?
ai' rciai travelers from Baltimore are re?
turning, some having finished their trips,
there to meet southern merchants and
customers expected in Baltimore in large
Q\.mbers about inauguration time to
make the season's purchases in person.
The demand for staple cotton goods at
eastern mills is in excess of the supply.
Print cloths are firm at 4 cents,, with de?
liveries equal to the output and no stock
it the mill?, against 50,000 pieces on
land one year ago and 3i0,000 two years
?IT
Reports from the more important
southern commercial centers indicate
:hat continued unfavorable weather and
>ad roadways at the interior have exer
.ised a further unfavorable influence.
3usiness is steady at Nashville, but
;here is no rush. The weather
las improved, but is not en
irely favorable. Trade is fairly active
tt Memphis, partieu;ar!y for boots, shoe?
md groceries, and the like is true as to
laidware and of foo ? staples at Rich
noud, but other lines are said to be quiet
ind collections less prompt. Even* from
V.t?anta come reports of ir.ercantile el?
ections being visibly affected by bad
oadways and continued unfavorable
veather, and New Orleans report* that
tflgnatioa in the cotton market is result
ng in orders from country merchants.

AN ATTORNEY DISBARRED.
'peaker of the Tennessee Legislature
In a Serious Predicament.
At Memphis, Tenn., Saturday, Judge
!stes handed do^n a decision disbarring
peaker Ralph Davis, of th<s Tennessee
?gislature, from practicing as an attor
ey in the courts of Tennessee. Four
reeks ago a story was prin'ed which
sused this action "of the court. Nathan
imon was bondsman in the sum of
5.000 for Jacob Luehman, charged with
rson. Lachman fled and Simon secured
Javis' services to get the bond reduced.
:. is alleged that Davis paid $1,000 into
ie court, but told Simon he had paid
3,250 and collected from him $2,250.
7hen Simon learned the truth he made a
lotion to disbar Davis and it was sus
lined. Davis in the meantime had pro
ured an indictment of the editors of
ie paper which printed the story for
riminal libel and sued for $50,000 dam
ges. It is probable that he will be de
arred as speaker of the legislature and
spelled from the assembly.
UNDER FALLING WALLS.

By the falling walis of John York's

THE REPUBLICANS WIN.
Denn ai Kansas Sam Court ia
Regar? to tie Legislature,
The Republican House Declared to be
the Legal Body.
A Topeka, Kag., special says : Bj a
decision rendered by the Kapsas supreme
court Saturday, the republican branch is
the legal legislature, and Mr. Douglass
is the legal speaker. The decision must
be taken as final. The delivery of the
opionion by Judge Horton occupied an
hour and a half. In substance
it is said that the certified' members
alone were authorized to take part in the
organization of a house: that when a
house had been organized by those hold
ing certificates of election that it then
formed a judiciary tribunal, before
which all contested cases must
go, and the house as organized
then had exclusive control
of whoever should or should not become
its members; that any irregularity in the
election could not be brought before the
canvassing board which audits the elec?
tion returns, but that it must be brought
before the house after it was organized ;
that the organization must be made by
those holding certificates of election ; that
the Dun8more house, not having organ?
ized according to the rules of law gov?
erning the house, could not be legal, but
the Douglass house had been organized
in accordance with these rules. Certified
members alone participated in the or?
ganization, and therefore, was legal.
Governor LewelJing advises his party
to abide by the decision rendered, under
protest, others among the populist lead?
ers preach resistence, and they will not
accept thec.ourf s ruling except as puer?
ile interference beyond its rightful jur?
isdiction.
POPULISTS DECIDE TO FIELD.
A later dispatoh say?; The populitt
house members, after caucusing all day
Monday and a part of the night, have
finally decided to yield to the decree of
the court and recognize the republican
house. One of their members appeared
in the lepublican house during afternoon
and there was loud applause when he
addressed Mr. Douglass as "Mr. Speak?
er." The two houses will be amalga?
mated. The populist senators will also
recognize the Douglass house.
GOV. MCKINLEY'S TROUBLES.
E is Losses by the Walker Failure
Growing Larger.
A special from Columbus, O., says:
The financial affairs of Governor McKin?
ley become more entangled as develop?
ments progress, and, on Monday, the
amount of his liabilities, caused by the
Walker failure at Youngstown, was placed
at $200,000.
The governor has been the object of
sympathy all over the country. As the
story went he was an innocent and abused
party, and his persistent refusals to ac?
cept proffered aid from wealthy and sub?
stantial people throughout the east and
from many parties in the state have elic?
ited warm encomiums from everybody.
The latest statement concerning the
failure will cause the tongues of people
ail over the country to wag, because the
man involved in it is William McKinley,
Jr. The representations have been that
Major McKinley has been made a bank?
rupt through the treachery of a friend
who had induced McKinley, "his old
neighbor," to indorse for him, and fail?
ing had dragged the governor down.
He had relied on his friend's honesty
and had never kept account of his en?
dorsements, but had given them as
freely and rapidly as they were asked.
The story goes that Governor McKin?
ley's liabilities instead of being $118,000
are $200,000, and the governor is not
merely the endorser of the notes involved
in the transaction, aa first reported, but
the maker of these notes which are cir?
culating about the country in amounts
ranging from $1.000 to $1.500.
APPROPRIATION FIGURES.
A Statement Furnished by the Clerk of
the House Committee.
A Washington dispatch says: At the

ous matters, made by the house this ses?

AIDING MCKINLEY.
His Friends Inangnrate a Contribution
Scheme.
A Chicago dispatch of Tuesday says:
Trustee H. H. Kohlsait has practical?
ly decided to stop opposing the wishes
of Major McKinley's friends and to re?
ceive whatever fund they may decide to
send toward paying the $95,000 worth of

ed governor of Ohio. The $1 contribu?
tion scheme met with almost uprori
jus approval in thc major's own state.

svith the pertinent question as to Kol
saat's authority to reject thc token of cs
teem. So many have now endorsed the
thing that further objection will prob?
ably be waived.
