CONGRESSIONAL,
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1.-THE
Senate met at IL o'clock this morn-
ing. Senator Harris presented
memorial of the cotton exchange of
Memphis, Tenn, for the abolition of
the duty on cotton ties.
The committee of conference on
the Legislative, judicial and executive
appropriation bill reported as being
unable to agree. Senator Alison
stated that the conferees had agreed
upon nearly every item in the bill,
the main point of difference being
as to the rate of compensation to
be paid to House and Senate en-
ployes. The House insisted that it
had the right to declare what should
be the number and salaries of the
Senate employees, while the con-
ferees on the part of the Senate
asserted that that body was the best
Judge of the character of its em~
ployes, their compensation and the
number necessary to transact its
business.
After long discussion the confer>
ence report was agreed to and, new
conference committee consisting OF
Senators Allison, Dawes, and Davis,
of West Virginia, was appointed.
After statement by Senator Hale,
that he would call up the naval ap-
preparation bill tomorrow, the Sem
ate resumed consideration of the
internal revenue bill.
Senator Morrill, gave notice that
ne would antagonize the naval and
every other bill, until that measure
was disposed of.
Senator George advocated the
adoption of an amendment which he
proposed to offer, repeating the duty
on machinery for the manu-
facture of cotton or wool
en- goods, ON agricultural
implements and on cotton ties
Passing on to a review of the bill, he
said that it seemed to have been ex-
pressly framed in the interests Of
the poor.
The presiding officer stated tina
the pending amendment was tba
offered by Senator Beck, reducing
the tax on manufactured tobacco t.
10 cents per pound.
Senator Beck supported thu
proposition as being one of sub
stantial relief.
Senator Johnston advocated The

Attention, Grain Dealers!

Realizing that the wheat crop of East
Tennessee is the largest that we have had
for several years, Coffin, Mckinney & Co.
have laid in large supply of bags for the
use of grain shippers These bags were
bought low, before the rise in the price,
consequent upon the large wheat crop took
place-and they are offered lower than the
same article can be sold by any one in the
trade. Those who need grain sacks will
find it to their interest to call and examine
their stock and prices.

And Wheel Turned Out Which Will
Stand the Test of Time.
In making round through North Knox
vile yesterday, CHRONICLE representative
happened in at the works of the Knoxville
Car Wheel Company, situated on the line
of the Ohio division of the E. T., Va & Ca
railroad, and found matters in a flourish
ing condition, the operations of manufac-
turing car wheels in full blast, and a scene
of unusual life and stir. The company have
the advantage of decidedly convenient To-
cation, with ample and well constructed
buildings and surroundings, giving
them all the facilities for carrying on their
extensive works.
While at the works yesterday evening we
witnessed ''run" by the wheel moulders,
which was an interesting feature of our OBJ
servations. 'Tis true the place and the work
is one of burden and great. heat, causing the
perspiration to flow freely and in torrents
from the brawny and burly workmen,
yet they seem to enjoy it. The
boiling and seething iron, and the
scintilations of the stars from the red-hot
liquid, as it was poured from the furnace
into the immense ladies', and thence into
the moulds, from which afterwards emerged
the splendidly shaped and perfectly formed
wheel, formed sight that was truly beauti-
full to behold.

A Move in the Right Direction.

1t is well known that through the person.
al efforts of Miss Austin, housekeeping
department was established in connection
with the Austin school in this city. 1t was
success, as will be testified by many of
our citizens who witnessed its operations.
Miss Austin has recently been in consulta
ton with the board of education, with the
view of establishing carpenter shop in
connection with that institution. Mrs
Brooks has been authorized by
the board to solicit subscriptions
among the colored people for that
purpose. Miss Austin will also call upon
our citizens for aid in this laudable enter
prise, and we trust she will receive the sub
stantial encouragement it merits. She also
proposes to establish kitchen department
| in connection with the school, where she
will have dinners cooked by the school girls.
| This is practical sort of education, de-
serving more general attention, and we
trust it may be successful, as we have no
| doubt it will be under Miss Austin's man
agement.

TESTING THE WHEELS.


1t was our privilege also to witness test
of the strength and durability of the wheels,
made in the presence of number of prac-
teal gentlemen, who knlew what car wheels
ought to be- One of the wheels made by
the Knoxville Car Wheel Company,
was broken, requiring forty blows
from fourteen pound sledge
hammer, welded by the brawny arm of a
hurcelean darkey. This test exhibited, in
the rough and ragged edge, at once, the
toughness and beautiful chill of the iron,
the chill being uniformly about 5 of an inch
in thickness, all the way from the lange to
the outer edge. And, notwithstanding this
excellent chill, on the outer
edges, the hub was found entirely
soft and pliable enough to be readily turned
out for mounting, as was fully tested with a
cold chisel.
One of the wheels, it is proper to state,
had never been put in the pit but was left
out hot over night, and it was not burst
open, as usual, but had only the feintest
chill crack 1t had also to be submitted to
