of monopolies. Wehave given the Senate
an opportunity to pass an Interstate

The House Finally Passes the Bill
and it Goes to the President.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The Speaker
laid before the House to-day the bill to
increase the naval establishment, with
the Senate amendments thereto, and Mr..
Herbert moved concurrence in the amend
ments. Messrs. Herbert and Boutelle
entered into a discussion as To the posi-
ton taken by the Republican and Demo.
cratic parties upon the question of in
crease of the navy, and charges and
counter charges of hostility to the naval
bill were INDUCED in. Then Mr. Reed
took a hand in the debate and
arralgDed in severe terms the Demo-
cratic majority Tor its delay in bringing
important public measures before the
House and preventing intelligent consid-
Grafton and discussion. The history OF
this House was history of refusal to
transact public business for tho purpose
OF enabling the Democratic party to show
on the stump figures which indicated not
economy, but failure to spend the money
OF the government to meet the necessities
of the government. During the
past week or two scenes had been
enacted here which ought to make legis-
lators blush. Bills of serious Importance,
after incubation OF SIX months, have been
thrust upon the House when there was no
opportunity for discussion. The Senate
amendments TO the naval establishment
bill were concurred in and the bill a tter
the signatures OF the Speaker and Presi-
dent OF the Senate have been attached
will go to the President for mis- approval.

count of Democratic Splits.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. 2.-The
state election to-day passed of quietly so
far as heard from. At Birmingham a ne
gro voter struck deputy sheriff with a
stick and riot was almost precipitated,
but the police dispersed the crowd and
the negro was locked up on a charge OF
ri0tous conduct. Seay, Democrat, for
Governor, was elected by large ma
jority, Bingham, Republican, and
tanner. pr0hlbitionist, receiving but
a small number of votes. The entire
state Democratic ticket is elected. The
chief interest centered In the local con-
tests. la many counties the Democrats
have split to pieces over Probate judge
ships, and the Indications are that sew
eral independents have been elected. The
strife among the Democrats brought the
negroes out, and the Indications are
that large negro vote was pOiI-d all over
the black belt. The negroes generally
supported the boiling local Democrats,
but many voted the straigAs Democratic
ticket for state officers.
