Two COmmittees Consider and Both Act
UnfavOrAbly.


UnfavOrRbly.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Blair ed
ueational bill came up before two COM
mittees of the House to-day and gave rise
to lively debate in both. In the Commit
tee of Education the bill came up as a
special order, but motion to further post
pone its consideration was carried by IA
vote of to 4, which is regarded as a final
indication of the disposition of the COM
mlttee toward the measure. Still, as one
OF the advocates of the measure raised the
point that the committee was not treating
the minority with courtesy in thus sum
marilv dispOsing of the bill, the members
reconsidered the vote and took up the first
section, pending consideration OF which
the hour Of 1 O'Clock was reached and the
committee adjourned, leaving the bill, the
unfinished business, to be taken up at next
Fridays meeting.
THE LABOR COMMITTEE.
In the Labor Committee the proceed
ings, while not so positive in their nature,
were more animated. Decided opposition
TO the bill in Its present shape was de-
velOped at the beginning OF the session.
Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia, offered a resolu-
tion providing for the appointment of
subcommittee OF three, TO which the bill
should be referred, with instructions to
report substitute making an apprOpria-
Jion of the proceeds Of the sales of public
land to the States for educational pur-
poses. Before action could be had upon
the resolution Mr.. James, of New York,
moved that the bill be reported fayOrably,
but the motion was lost by a vote Of 4 to
6. Mr.. James then endeavOred to have the
bill reported back without recommends
ton, but the committee adjourned with
out acting on his motion to that effect.
Mr.. Grain, of Texas, who is among the
opponents Of the Blair bill, VIII, on Mon
day, introduce in the House "A bill looking

annoying to the preacher, it certainly is an
noying to the congregation to have the SERVES
interrupted by the entrance of late corners,

OF the sermon. In other cities the ushurs
take their seats when the services begin and
those who come in after that, have to find
their own seats, thus they are encouraged to
come earlier next Sunday. The writer offers

A BIG BREAK.
More Tobacco in Winston Tuesday than
Ever Before in the History of the
Place.

Ever Before in the History of the
Place.
Never in Winston's history has there
been such a tobacco break as we have enjoy
ed this week. Early Monday noon the white
topped wagons began to roll in from every
direction, and by night the four warehouses
were full to overlooking. But still the wag-
ons came until the streets adjoining the ware
houses were literally blocked with them,
and it was fact commented on by many
that the wagons brought fuller loads than
ever before. The number OF wagons is es-
timated to have been about FIVE hundred.
A SENTINEL reporter in conversing with
Mai. Barham, auctioneer at Browns ware
house learned that Tuesday was the first time
in his knowledge that so much tobacco was on
the Winston market, that ii could not be sold,
with all of the warehouses running double
sales. The quality of tobacco was generally
above the average and brought very salts
factory prices as a glance at our market re-
port shows.
If Winston has many more such breaks
verify may another warehouse be expected
by this time next year.

This is a free country, and when man
