The Senate Bent on Delaying Con-
hrmation as Long as Possible.
WASHINGTON, May 14-The Senate Ju-
dietary Committee preferred to consider at
its session to-day the nomination of Thomas
F. Miller to be Police Judge of the District
of Columbia, rather than the nomination
of Melville W. Fuller. to be Chief Justice
of the United States. Accordingly the nom
ination Of Mr.. Miller was ordered reported
favorably, while the nomination of Judge
Fuller still lies on the table. 1t has not even
been referred to a subcommittee MIR.
Ingalls, moved after the discussion over it
last Monday, that the nomination be re-
ferred to subcommittee, but the COM
mittee did not reach a vote upon the mo-
ton. The members of the com
mittee who thought the nomination had
been referred TO a subcommittee had LETT
before the meeting was over. Next Mon
day the nomination will be referred to a
subcommittee, probably by the fol-
lowing Monday the subcommittee
will report favorably, and probably
by the next Monday after that the full
committee will adopt a favorable report
The final confirmation Of the nomination is
at all events confidently expected at this
session by Senators on both sides of the
House.
The Supreme Court adjourned to-day
until October, when Chief Justice Fuller
will take his seat.

SAVANNAH'S SNUB.

Senator Brown Asks That the Harbor
Appropriation be Increased.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-In the Senate to-
day Mr. Brown gave notice of an amend
ment to the river and harbor bill, in refer
ence to the channel at Savannah, Ga, Ito
increase the appropriation from 800, 900 to
S250,0O0) and submitted statement on the
subject. He gave figures comparing the
commerce of Savannah with that of
Charleston, Norfolk, Mobile and other
Southern ports and said he did not come to
ask favo,' for Savannah, but to demand
at least d semblance of justice, and to pro-
test against the favoritism and partiality
displayed in the bill as it passed the House.
That bill seemed subject to the objection,
that its purpose was to serve local interests
and to promote local prosperity in a few
places at the expense of other places of
much greater commercial Importance,

tax on occupation, however, is really
tax on the business, and the court says
that the case is parallel with other cases in
which tax has been declared to be uncon-
stltutionaL. AS to the case on which the
court below relied, namely, that the Su-
preme Court had held in 1872 that tax on
express companies was not unconstitutional,
the court says; I'm view of the course of
the decisions which have been made since
that tlme it is very certain that such an
ordinance would now be regarded as re-
pugnant to the power conferred upon Con-
gresS to regulate commerce among the
several States.n
THE SUMMING UP.
After review of the decisions of earlier
justices, the court sums up its opinion as
follows: such construction of the constl-
tuition leads to the conclusion that no State
has right to lay tax on interstate COM
merce In any form, whether by way Of
duties laid on transportation of subjects
of that commerce, or on receipts
derived from that transportation, or on the
occupation or business of carrying it on !;
and the reason is, that sucn taxation is a
burden on that commerce, and amounts to
regulation of it, which belongs solely to
Congress. We may repeat, what we have
so often said before, that this exemption of
Interstate and foreign commerce from State
regulation does not prevent a State from
taxing the property of those engaged in
such commerce as property of other citi-
zens is taxed, or from regulating matters
of local concern, which may incidentally
affect commerce., such as wharfage, pilot
age and the like. The Judgment of the
Supreme Court of Alabama is accordingly
reversed. The opinion is by Justice Bradley.

OIL CITY's BIG BIZ AzD.
Huge Islands of Burning Oil Floating
Down the Stream.

huge ISlandS OF Burning Oll FAOatinR
Down the Stream.
PITTsBURG, PA, May IA special from
Oil City, Pa, received this morning, says:
THE fire is now believed to be under con
troll. The great overflow, which was
watched for with so much terror, occurred
shortly before o'clock this morning. The
tank vomited its flames and its contents
forming huge islands of burning oil, some
of them hundreds of feet in diameter,
floated down the creek. A fierce mass of
fire swept on, burning several dwellings,
the Western New York and Pennsylvania
railroad bridge, two miles below, and a
large barrel factory. The loss is estimated
at $3.50, 900. There was very little sleep in
the city last night. 1t was feared that the
town would be destroyed. All night moth
ers with babes in their arms,
young girls, with shawls thrown over their
heads, frightened children and grave men,
silently watched the onward march of the
flames. Little was said, but much was
feared"
THE TOTAL LOSS ONLY $4,000.
PITTsBURG, PA, May IA, s P NJ
Another dispatch from Oil City, Pa, says:
Greatly exaggerated reports have been
sent out concerning the fire. The total loss
is less than $4,000

so well known that it was not necessary for
him to point them out. He only wished to
present petition from hundreds of people
in his district protesting against the passage
of this most unwise and uncalled for
measure.
Mr. Cowies, of North Carolina, said that
revision of the tariff by reducing the duty
on imported goods to revenue basis would
increase importations and produce all the
revenue which the government required,
and that the odious internal revenue law
should be repealed. He was in favor of a
tariff for revenue only, and a revenue by
tariff only.
The committee then rose, and on motion
of Mr. Simmons, of North Carolina, the bill
was passed appropriating $4,000 for the
construction Of road from Newoern, n.
c., to the national cemetery near that
place. The House then adjourned

the Emperor's strength improved he hoped
he could be removed shortly to Potsdam.
The Emperor is in the habit Of
mind common to all chronics who
alternate between the belief that
they will live IA couple of years, when they
mentally plan for the future, ana the fear
that all win be over with them in IA few
days. Although apparently robust his
majesty has not much recup arative power,
and this circumstance would have rendered
fatal the operation proposed in May Of last
year. DR. Mackenzie said in conclusion;
1.-THE Emperor is certainly suffering from
perichondritis, which with disease Of the
cartilages is very dangerous, though not
nece- sarily fatal. IL he also has cancer, that
will necessarily prove fatal sooner or later"

tions existed among the friends Of the vari-
Gus candidates. The charge was denied and
reasserted amid much excitement and a
general effort to secure recognition by the
chairman.
Rev. B. E. Wheeler, of Wis
consin, said there was suspicion
in the minds of the people that combina-
tions did so exist, and he could make state
mentS that some members would not like to
hear. This aroused the House, aud cries
came from all quarters: 'Make themp'

Ex-Gov. Cum oack # Indiana, succeeded
in getting the floor. He said that it was
evident that if the discussion continued it
would only reflect on the conference and he
moved that the previous question be taken
up and voted for. There were number of
amendments offered, and when the vote
was taken everything was voted down, and
the discussion was closed.
A delegate tried to bring the question up
again in another form, under suspension
Of the rules but be was voted down.

cars. Three persons. one woman and two
men were killed by the explosion and
twelve or fifteen persons were wounded,
but none very seriously. There is a hole
in the ground, where the car stood, about
80 feet in diameter and Is feet deep. Two
cars were burned and sixteen, together with
the locomotive, were more or less wrecked.

Wha. Am to Do?

The symptoms of biliousness are
unhapp;ly quite too well known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A bilious man is
seldom a breakfast eater. Too fire.
quently, alas, he has an excellent APP
petite for liquors, but none for sol
ids in the morning. His tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any
time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out of order and diarrhea or consti-
patiom may be a symptom o the
two may alternate. There are often
hemorrhoids or even loss Of blood.
There may be giIdiness and often
headache and acidity or hatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not
effect a ell try Green's August
Flower, il costs but a trife aud
thousands attest it's efficacy.
