display of oil paintings at the State Fair says ::
Mrs. f. X. Pierce of Augusta, shows three
canvasses. The shadowv pool showing pond
lilies in foreground and stormy sky in the
distance, represents one of the gloomy as
poets of nature. The asters showing just the
top of the vase is a happy bit of coloring; but
the artist is at her best in the fruit piece,
showing two apples somewhat over ripe, with
a touch of decay, all of which with their vary
ing tints are successfully reproduced

GENERAL WALKER AND THE CENSUS

WASHINGTON, February 20.-A caucus OF
Republican Senators was held this morn
ing, at which there was full attendance,
and which remained in session for two
hours.
The action of the Democratsin in the House
yesterday in defeating the passage OF the
Interal Revenue bill, and the failure of Mr..
Morrilrs purpose to pass the Senate
bill last night, has created intense
anxiety among the Republicans upon the
subject of tariff legislation Under this
pressure the Republican Senators cohsid.
cred the subject fully in caucus, and while
there was no formal discussion, there was
free expression OF opinion in favor OF per-
severing in the effort to pass the Senate
bill. 1t was the conclusion OF Senators,
therefore, TO persevere in pressing its pass
age with unyielding determination. Sena'
tors who have recently returned from New
York report that in the great Central and
Western cities there is an urgent demand
upon Congress for definite action IN regard
to the revenue bills.
1t is conceded now that a special session
Of the Senate is inevitable. The Mexican
treaty will require consideration, and there
will be large amount of appointments re-
curing the action of an Executive session.
These are the reasons which are stated, in
dependent OF the necessity Of elecung q
President pro tempore.
At half past nine the Senate passed the
tariff bill as amended, by vote of AZ to 10.
The President nominated, as members Of
the Civil Service Commission, Dorman b.
Eaton, OF New York; John McGregOr, Of
Illinois, and Leroy ID. Thoman, OF Ohio.
