zGil} THE TOBACCO, BIT.s.E APPROVED. si;sf
!. AT hali-past o o'clock Tonight Speaker
Randall sent for Mr.. Cabell and informed
him that he had received Official tnforma-
tion that the President had signed the to-
bacco bi,j. and no one who saw how the face
OF this representative OF great tobacco dis
trict, who has labored as hard as apvman in
Congress has ever worked for any measure,
tighten up With pleasure, could help know
ing that there was good news for the tobac-
co-,iien. He went over to. the Senate imme-
diately and made Colonel Withers as happy
az a :widower, about to marry q girl of
eighteen; and our, Senator. had n right
to feel elated, for he has done all
that mortal man could do for5reduction.
When Tucker heard the news he Rugged
Billy Burwell, and was the youngest man
at the Capitol, and who could have done
more than he has. The glad tidings spread,
ona Ransom. Beck, Bayard, VOORHEES,,
| Thurman, Jones OF Nevada, and all the
earnest workers in the great cause, who
nave amid ali the perils that surrounded
tho question for two years stood true to the
n,osition that the tax on tobacco must be re-
ducea The information was carried to
sanotor Johnston in his sick-room, and he
onc,,rod bimsel, better. when well he
did his whole duty, never faltering
for one hour in his efforts to get the
bill through, and, though unable to
be in ut The end OF the fight, his
interest was Just as great as If he had been
in the Senate. cannot but add that everv
de,apate from Virginia in Congress helped
"a win the yictrv-somc OF course doing
more than others-and they deserve well Of
their State. 1t is needless to say that Colo
mel Burwell has done great work, and the
tobacco-people ought never to forget him.
SUGAR WENT Up IN BLAZE OF GLORY.
| No reader or 1neSC dispatches ms UCeH
led to b@ieyc that the sugar tariff would
pass. To-day Mr.. Robbins got it up and
moved that after an hours debate vote
should be taken. This Mr. Wood, who
wanted an hour for his own speech in op-
position. to the bill, with much feeling op-
posed, and discussion ensued that heated
the blood OF the members from New York
and North Carolina 10 such an extent
that when they went to the front
Of the Speakers desk to act as tel
!ers they omitted to shake hands accord
ing 10 usual custom. The House refused
to SUSPEND the rules and adopt Mr.. Rob
bins,s motion-ayes, "a; noes, 61-not two
thirds There being then no limit to de-
bate. Mr.. Burchard made one Of his mean
est speerhes, While he exhibited samples
of sugar, members with bills in danger grew
nervous, and at the conclusion OF bis effort
Mr.. Robbins, seeing there was no hope for
sugar this session, withdrew the bill. The
great refincrs have fought it with uutiring
diligence, and although it had majority in
the House it has never had an opportunity
to test its strength by a vote. .., ! 80
.......... THE YELLow-FEvER BILL. Fl
The House this afternoon took up the
Senate bill in regard to yelIow-fever and a
national board OF health, and the substitute
proposed for it by the House committee.
Dir. Goode opposed the Senate bill because
it interfcred with the quarantine rights of
States and established national board of
health at Washington, with dlrector-gene-
raj The ponublicsns fought for the Senate
hin because they wanted Dr.. Woodwork, a
wool.dyed Radical; director.general. At
balf-past 4 the vote was taken by ayes and
noes. when the substitute was adop,ed-
oves 1a5. noes. 113, Mr.. Young, OF Mem
pbis, wanted. as chairman of the commit
tee. TO fake charge OF the bill, but Mr.. Goode
would not consent to it, because that gen.
tleman was in favor OF the Senate bill, and
not in accord with the House committee.
Mo srhst;t,,. n tho Senate bill was
finally voted down, and this ends yellow
fever LEGISLATION for this session. - ,, -
