WASHINGTON, July S.-The Senate be-
fore adjournment went into Executive
session. Immediately after the doors were
closed an order was made upon motion OF
Senator Ingalls, that the public should be
excluded from the upper corridors, lobbies
and committee rooms, which order was
carried into effect at once. This resulted
in closing the offices of the Associated Press
and the Western Union and Baltimore &
Ohio Telegraph Co., and the ejectment OF
all the reporters from their quarters IN the
Senate wing of the Capitol. The adverse
report upon the nomination of Solicitor
General John GoOde was then taken up.
1t is said that programme ofoperations In
respect to this case had been arranged by
the Republican members Of the
Judiciary Committee by which
Mr.. Edmunds had assumed
the task of speaking upon the subject OF
Mr.. Goodies alleged incOmpetency rs

ment of Justice. To Mr.. HOar was assigned
the task of exploding Mr.. Goodies alleged

upon the Pan Electric developments and
Mr.. Goodies connection with the matter.
After long debate the nomination oil
Mr.. GoOde was rejected, there being four

NEW YORK, July 9.-The intervention
of what amounted practically to a double
holiday at this, the dull period of midsum-

Dor troubles throughout the country and
leading textile and metal industries are
busilY employed. Mercantile collections
have notably improved at nearly all dis
tributing centres. The demand for funds
is active at New Orleans and Boston
where money has been tight and
interest rates higher and is increasing at
Philadelphia and st. Louis. The supply
exceeds the demand at Chicago and Kansas
City. But the visible signs Of the reported
improvement are found in the hardening
tendency in grain, pork. lard, wool, cot
ton, brown and bleached cottOns and print
cloths. Iron and steel are firm, and while
not higher, are not likely to 20 lower.
In fact there is some gain in the tone to
the market. Higher prices for wheat were

firm tone and confidence shown in the dry
goods trade. The unfavOrable wheat crop

among Granger roads, and a iudicious ma

checked the advance in railway shares on

asking the deputy sheriffs in attendance
ON him to call him at 5 o'clock, he turned
over and went to sleep again. Shortly at.
fer the latter hour he was aroused and
dressed himself, after which he attended
mass in the prison chapel. He made re-
sponses in firm, clear voice, and was ad.

then taken up. Chacon walked with
firm tread between the two priests, who
have attended him during his confinement

The Board Of County Commissioners has
fixed the county levy for the ensuing year
at sixty cents on the one hundred dollars,
an increase of five cents rs compared with

levy at sixty cents was made by Mr.. Del
brugge, who pointed out that the appropri-
ations for the year were S107, 404.67, and
that fifty-fve cent levy would leave a
deficiency of sl.l2l.63, while levy Of
sixty cents would leave a surplus Of
$3.50 AZ after paying all appropriations.
There was opposition to the sixty cent levy
on the part of Mr.. Maxwell, who advised
the selling of all the railroad bonds held by
the county.
The local levy was fixed at % cents, an
increase Of five cents.

this afternoon. The manufacturers had
quite a strong organization at one time,

read which states that the object OF the
organization shall be to maintain prices
and exclude that competition which Is
sure to ruin the business. The session
to-day, which was long and animated one,
