THE TARIFF DEBATE.

McCreary and O'Farrel1 For and Foran
 and Dorsey Against the BiD.
 WASHINGTON, May 2.-The house went into committee of the whole to consider the tariff bill and MT. McCreary, of Ken lucky Dem.), opened the days debate with a speech in favor of the Mills bill. He said the people were confronted by great public question of a rapidly increasing surplus in the treasury and useless and burdensome taxation. He charged the Republican party with having defeated every attempt made by the Democrats to reduce taxation. The war taxes still remain, and they are heavier to- day on an average than they were during the war.
 MT. Foran, of Ohio Dem.), followed with a speech in opposition to the bill. Mir. Foran thought the projectors of the bill were gov erned more by desire to cut and slash the tariff than by an honest wish to meet the condition the president expected them te meet. The bill he regarded as humiliating confession that all the evil things which had been said about the tariff were not true. He earnestly opposed the proposition to place wool on the free list, and touching the ques- tion of wages, declared that if the bill passed American workmen would be compelled to compete with English workmen, and receive the same low rate of pay.
 MT. O'Farrell Dem.) supported, and Mr. Dorsey Rep.) spoke in opposition to the bill, ard at 5:30 the house adjourned

mated for county delegate. There was no trouble in tho Litchfield county caucus William H. Barnum was nominated for delegate at large and Milo B. Richardson of Salisbury as county delegate.
 The only contest likely to occur in the First congressional district is over the delegate at large. Until to-day no other name was mentioned for the position ex- cept that of A. E. Burr. Tonight, how ever, it is rumored that A. P. Hyde had decided that he would like to go to St. Louis and there was considerable work done in his behalf in the corridors of the Allyn house. A. report that proved to be unfounded got abroad that MT Burr had withdrawn in his favor. It was finally decided to postpone the county caucus until 9:3O o'clock tomorrow morning, when it will take place in the Allyn house. The Holland county caucus will at the Park Central. It is conceded on all sides that Congressman Vance will be the county delegate.
 The democratic state central committee met in the Allyn house early this evening, every member being present. The first business was the consideration of the resig- nation of Chairman M. F. Dooley. Speeches were made by Congressman Vance, Allen of Putnam and E. O. Goodwin of East Hart ford against the acceptance of the resigna- tion, and when the matter was put to vote it was unanimously decided that MT Dooley should not be allowed to resign. He will therefore probably hold the office until the meeting of the next state convention, when new state committee will be selected. James Huntington of Woodbury, state at torney of Litchfeld county, was decided upon for temporary chairman, and he may be made permanent chairman al- so. He is prominent democrat, and has been several times member of the legis- lature The secretaries selected were Editor Sawter of the Stamford News, Bassett of New Britain, F. King of Norwich and Doolittle of Clinton

Cotton and Corn.

The southern press seems to have finally persuaded the farmers to abandon the all cotton idea, and to grow more grain. It has been calling their attention to this mat ter for some years, with little effect, but the farmers appear to have finally walked up to the fact that there is more money to be made by cultivating cotton and food products together, than by devoting themselves to the great southern staple alone. Diversified crops prevented an overproduction of cotton and low prices, and it freed the farmers from too great dependence on the west. Formerly nearly all the profit from the cot ton crops went for food products. Now that the latter are being raised on the place, the cotton becomes a surplus crop, with which the farmer can buy his clothing, sugar, coffee and such other articles as he cannot raise. The change in agricultural methods in the south is shown in the fact that last seasons corn crop was of nearly the same value as the cotton produced, the two standing-cotton, $264, 1852, ,000; corn, $213, ,662, ,920 Adding the oats, wheat etc., it is probable that the cereals raised in 1887 were equal, if they did not exceed, in value

A Mystery of the Mississippi.

There is another boat that frequents the river, chiefly in the autumn. It is a rude cabin or hut built upon a scow; stovepipe projects from the roof; long sweeps from bow and stern direct it's course. It floats idly with the current. The people on the river call these house boats. River children, when they first see Noah's ark, call it house boat. Who are the denizens of these hybrid crafta Whither are they bound? What the object of their voyages? In the south they may know these things. Up here they are of the mys- teries of the river. In September they begin their exodus; sometimes four or five are in sight at once, until the frozen river stops their procession. -Globe-Democrat.

 WASHINGTON, May 2.-In the past twenty years of the senate's history, no such excite ment has prevailed as that of yesterday, nor has there been such utter disregard of the dignity of the senatorial office. Grave sena- tors shouted at each other in defiance of the rules of parliamentary debate. ssLiar1 and ''scoundrel" were bandied, while the packed galleries alternately hissed and applauded.
 One senator announced that if a political opponent acted in the police court as he was rock pile as "drunk and disorderly."
 The confusion on the floor was equalled only by the confusion in the railways and corridors where hundreds of eager men and women, unable to obtain an entrance into the galleries, stood and strained their ears to catch the stray phrases that foated through the haf-closed doors
 Again aud again senators sprang to their feet to demand order, and again and again the presiding officer threatened to have the galleries cleared if order was not preserved. The sergeant at arms was instructed to ar. rest any one making noise, but still the crowd which filled every seat, crowded the aisles and lined the walls of the gallery, ap- plauded, missed and laughed uproariously.
 Promptly at o'clock MT. Ingalls rose and said he would make some remarks on the presidents message.
 ''Mr. President" he said, Ion the 11th day of January, 1883, Maj. Gen. Fitz John Porter wrote letter from which will read"

BISHOP TAYLOR


 EARL cRAsTUN. JOHN H. VINCENT.
 The convention will last a month. One of the most important questions before the con- vention is one which affects the rights of women. Are women eligible us delegates to general conference of the Methodist shurchl This is the issue which confronts she convention at the outset, and as it is one that, in whatever way settled, will establish an all important precedent, it is not to be wondered at that the scholarly men, the grave and reverend seniors of the Methodist church, are sinking all other considerations, for the time being, until this vital question Is disposed of.
 Of course, there are among the delegates at the present convention a vast number of emi- nent diyineS and prominent men connected

Dry Rot Contagious.

It is said that dry rot the enemy of build CTS, is sort of contagious disease. Good authorities state that it can be carried by saws and other tools which have been in con- tact with affected wood, and that such con- tact and impregnation is often the cause of the mysteriously rapid decay of originally sound timbers.-C Chicago Times.

 with the Methodist Episcopal church Among them are: J. M. Reid, R. s. Rust, J. M Bulkfey, A. J. Kynett, Earl Crastun, John H. Vincent, c. c. McCabe and Bishop Tay- Tor. Some of the prominent lay delegates are: Governor Phineas c. Lounsbury, of Connecti- cut; Congressman John B. Storms, of Phila- delphia; Isaac Bailey, of Chicago: Gen. Clin- ton B. Fisk; Alden Spear, of Massachusetts, and John D. Slayback, of New York When such well known and public spirited men as these appear as delegates to a religious convention laymen of all sects and beliefs are of necessity obliged to be interested.
 The session commenced with devotional ex- ercises. Bishop Bowman opened the confer ence, and a prayer, signed by all the bishops, was read, postponing all discussion of the eligibility of female delegates until later period of the proceedings. In view of this, the reading of the roll call: by Dr. David L. Monroe, secretary of the last general confer ence, proceeded uninterruptedly.
 After the roll call motion was made that Dr. Munroe be constituted permanent secre- tary of the conference. This was seconded and carried.
 Dr. Hamilton, of the New England con- ference, was the first to actually name the question which absorbed the interest of the assembly.
 A motion had been made providing for the appointment of committees to report on the eligibility of "certain delegates" Dr. Hamil- ton said plainly that there should be a special committee to examine and report upon the eligibility of women delegates.
 This motion was finally accepted, and the committee directed to render its report to- day. Miss Francis E. Willard, who is one of ths five women delegates elected, has unfortu- nately been recalled to her home by the ill., ness of her mother. She is representative woman and president Of the Woman's Chris tain Temperance union She had come from the Rock River Qlls) conference.
 The other four women are Amanda C. Rippey, of Kansas; Angie F. Newman, Nebraska; Lizzie D. Van Kirk, Pittsburg, and Mary C. Ninde, Minnesota The fact that when these delegates handed in their names and credentials to the committee Mon- day they were assigned to hotel quarters without question as to their eligibility is ac- cepted by some as an indication that they will be admitted to the conference, but the general belief is that the opposition is mighty and will prevail Addresses of welcome were delivered yesterday by ex-Judge Fanchcr and MT. Phillips.
 The rest of the session was devoted to the al- lotment of seats to the several bodies of dele gates. A glance at the lists which were pre- pared shows most conspicuously the far reaching and wide spread character of the assemblage. For the delegates from Bengal two seats are required; California. has two seats; Colorado, thrse seats; Dakota, two seats; Florida, two; Foo o-Chow, China, two seats; Italy, two seats; Japan, two; Norway, two; Puget Sound, two; South India, two; Sweden, two; Switzerland, one; Texas, two; Wyoming, two, and Liberia, two. There are upward of 450 delegates in the convention.
