for any throat or lung disease susccp-
tiblc Of cure, who has not been made

Railway Association.

Neetfnx of the Southern Steamship and
Railway Association.
WASHINGTON, February 19.-The South
ern Railway and Steamship Association
began special meeting to-day, at which
reporters were excluded, but gentlemen
present furnished the following abstract:
The object Of the meeting was to adjust
matters of agreement between the Geor-
gia Central and the East Tennes-
see. Virginia and Georgia railways,
and to decide whether their associa-
tion's pool shall continue. Gentlemen were
present representing all the prominent
Southern roads and steamship companies.
The convention was called to order by
Senator Brown. The committee to which
was referred the present difference be-
tween the Central railroad and Eastern
ane Georgia Railroad Company made Its
report in the shape OF set OF resolutions.
Their purport was that a company
belonging to the association was en-
titled to the exclusive control OF hs
local traffic brought to eomPeuuve
points. The resolutions were adopteu.
Whereupon Fink, representing the East
Tennessee and Georgia Company, regard
ing the action as against his company, gave
notice that it would retire from the asso-
ciation. Haskell, president OF the Z. q.
A. Railroad Company, inquired what
| effect the resolutions would have. de re-
parded them as equivalent to dis
| solution of the association. Senator
| Brown replied that the withdrawal
| of one member would not necessarily
break mn tbs association. After a pause
a member moved that the existing move
ment he continued TO June lst and en-
| dsavor to arrange the difficulties, and IN
! the event OF failure to agree, the fril asso

pOrtant Amendments Adopted.
WASHINGTON, February 10.-The an
nual convention OF the Board of Super
vising Inspectors OF Steam Vessels has adj
journed sine die. The board adopted an
important amendment to the rules gov
erning the construction of safety-valves,
as follows: Lever safety-valves, to be at
tached to steam boilers or steam vessels,
shall have an area of opening not less than
one square inch for every two square feet
of CRATE surface in boiler and seats; all
such safety wales shall have an angle of
inclination to the center line of their axis
of 450. Spring-loaded safety-yalves shall
be constructed in such a manner as to
give an increased lift by the operation of
steam after being raised from theil seats
on the spring load. Safety-valves con-
structed in any other manner so as to give
an effective area equal to that of the afore-
mentioned safety-valves, may be used in
lieu of lever-valves on all steamers, and
shall be required to have an area OF not
less than one square inch to the square
foot of CRATE surface of boilers, and each
spring loaded valve shall be supplied with
a lever that will raise the valve from its
seat at distance not less than that equal
to one-eighth of the diameter OF the valve
opening and seats. All such safety-valves
shall have an angle OF inclination to the
center line of their axis OF 450.

CONGRESSIONAL,
The McPhersOn Bank Bill Discussed AT
Length tH the Senate.


WASHINGTON, February l9.-Sendte.-A
number of bills were introduced and re-
ferred, and some important business trans
acted, after which the Senate resumed
consideration of the Mcpherson national
bank currency bill. The debate which en-
sued was long one, and participated in
by Senators Bayard, Mcpherson, Plumb,
Vest, Allison and Mitchell. Bayard and
Allison's opposition to the Plumb amend
ments was based, iamong other things,
upon fundamental changes which those
propositions would involve in the charac-
ter of our government.
Senator Plumb withdrew his moditica-
ton of yesterday to the amendment,
which modification provided that the true
intent and meaning was that the volume
of paper money outstanding, exclusive oi
gold and silver certificates, should remain
as now existing.
After further discussion by Senator
Maxey, Beck, Coke and Pugh, Senator
Morgan said he proposed to otier
an amendment TO the amendment
of the Senator from Kansas, to
to provide that wherever any portion OF
the circulation OF a national bank be sur
| rendered in consequence OF the call and
payment of debts by the United States
government, an equal amount OF treasury
notes shall be issued by the government
in lieu thereof, so as to prevent shrinkage
| Of circulation.
After an executive session the Senate

There was good sale of seats yesterday
for the Annie Pixley engagement, which
opens Thursday night. The Nashville
Norld SAYS of Monday nights performance
there: "The coming of the ever popular
Annie Pixley is always welcome event
to her friends in Nashville, and as proof
the Masonic Theater was crowded last
night with one of the best audiences ofthe
season to greet the little favorite in Miss.
Like the rip Van Winkle' of Jefferson
and the Col. Sellers of Raymond,
Miss is creation that belongs exclu-
sively to Pixley, and it is one which, in
stead of getting stale, seems to improve
with age. Being so peculiarly American,
it appeals at once to the popular American
heart, and as long as it finds a representa-
tive in the person of the bright little star
who personates the central character, SO
long will it hold its place in the heart OF
the people. The support is, as usual, ex-
cellent."
