The bloody tragedy enacted on our
streets yesterday, the full particulars
of which appear in our news columns,
furnishes another illustration of what
is liable to happen at any time. This,
of course, lis only the end of an old
and desperate feud, but if all parties
had been obedient to the law which
forbids the carrying of concealed
weapons, two lives would have been
spared, and several families would
have escaped from the burden of
woe which hangs over them, and fills
many hearts with inconsolable grief.
The life of Will. Mabry, taken
months ago, night have been
spared, but for this indefens'ble
habit of carrying concealed
weapons. That bloody tragedy
led to this, and if all
the parties concerned had yield
ed obedience to the law which
forbids carry concealed weapons,
this would not have happened. y G
deeply regret the occurrence. 1t
does our community no good to have
it go abroad that such things are
possible on the streets of Knoxville
Taken as whole, our people are as
law abiding as the people of any
other community. Such occurrences
as this are rare, but if the Law
against carrying concealed weapons
could be enforced, until the habit il
entirely broken up, they would be-
come rarer still. We know some'
thing of the difficulties in the way o
its enforcement. What we want is
strong, vigorous public sentiment
which will make such a practio
odious, and disgrace the man VIII

THE HOUSE RULES AND MR.. WILLIS.

WASHINGTON July SIT is simply cues
ton whether the rules of the House or the gem
teman from Kentucky shall triumph. and
am determined that the rules shall have a
fair chance. For one, l object to having the
Congress of the United States turned into
bear garden" The speaker was General BROWNE
of Indiana, and the member who was trying to get
the better of the rules aud turn the House into
"bear garden y was that eminent Civil Service
Rcformer Mr. Willis, of Kentucky.
The House was in Committee of the Whoe,and Mr.
Willis wanted to makea personal explanation" and
he persisted in his attempt to do 1t after Mr.
Kasson the courteous chairman, had repeatedly IN
formed him that personal explanations could not be
made in Committee of the Whole. In his attempts
to proceed in violation of the rules Mr. Willis was
aided and abetted by Messrs. Blackburn and Thomp-
son, of Kentucky, and score of other members
who seemed anxious that tho Sundry Civil bill
should be laid aside. Mr.. Willis wished to explain
how he happened TO be nominated "by lot" as a
candidate for Congress, and also to present the
grounds of his belief that one OF bis colleagues is
possessed Of a devil, and in that respect,
at least resembles the four-footed swine,"
as he described them, mentioned in the Bible as
running down steep place into the seq. Mr. Wills
admitted that he and friend did toss a copper

Willis won the toss, and therefore, as matter OF
course, after passing through the formalIty of
nominating convention, triumphantly elected

Mr.. Willis. as appeared from his remarks to-day,
has been close reader of Crudens Concordance, az
well as of the Bible itself and he therefore able
to cite great many Scrptural passages in which the
settlement of matters by lot " is mentioned. some
times with approval. After he had thus disposed OF
the lottery business Mr. Willis informed his fellow
members that they would please not regard him as
an owl-he preferred to be considered an eagle; and
to prove his right tins title he spread his pinions

THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
LEY rrLrGnArn TO LIE rRlnrNr.I


WASHINGTON. July s-The Hennepn Canal pro-
moters met with partial defeat in the Senate to-
day. although the action ombOdies promise of
ultimate success. Upon motion of Senator Butler
of South Carolina the authorization to begin ac-
tual work upon the canal was stricken out, leaving
only the authority TO make survey of the route
and an simate of the cost of construction and cost
of maintenance 4 majority of the Senate seemed
to be in favor of constructing this work at the ex-
pense of the General Government but definite
knowledge of the cost and the benefits to be de-
rived was demanded The Butler amendment was
adopted by a vote Of 20 to 81.
The Mississippi River Improvement section was
passed. an amendment rigdy prohibiting the use
of the money for any purpose whatsoever except
for the improvement of navigation, having been de-
feated by a vote of 16 TO 20.
Senator Ransom, of the Senate Select Commit
tee on the River Trout of W Washington, proposed an
amendment. by order of his committee. apprOpriat-
ing $500, 900 for the improvement of the Potomac
River in the vicinity Of Washington" 1t has
been matter of general remark since the River
and HarbOr bill was reported from the Senate com
mitee, after having passed under the careful con-
sderatiOn of a House committee and Of the House
ITSELF that of the nineteen and half millions ap-
propriated by the measure not dollar was TO he
devoted to the one public work upon rivers and
harbors which was universally acknowledged to he
of immediate necessity. Senator Mcmillan. chair
man of the Commerce Committee, raised point of
order against the amendment basng his objection
upon the ground that the Improvement was for san
itary purposes and not for the Improvement Of nav
igatlon.
Senator Sherman defended the amendment with
vigor calling attention to the fact that tie flats"
were gradually encroaching upon the Navy Yard,
and that the grounding" of Government and pri.
vate vessels was Of daily occurrence. lie referred
TO a recent attempt of the President and party of
gentlemen to make a trip down the river, on which
occasion they ran aground few minutes after leav-
ing the wharf and remained there until the rising
tide toated them of. Other Senators warmly de-
Tended the amendment and the point of order
when submitted to the Senate was Overruled. The
amendment will probably be adopted on Monday,
but dscusuOn Will probably first take place IN
regard TO the merits of the several plans of im-
pToyement proposed
