senate.


WASHINGTON, September l5.-In the
Senate to-day the House bill to grant
the right OF way through the military
reservation at Fort Morgan to the
Birmingham, Mobile and Navy-Cove
Harbor Railroad Company WAS taken
from the calendar and passed.
Mr.. Flatt' S resolution Of yesterday IN
reference 10 the copper syndicate WAS
taken up. but the debate which followed
mad but little reference to the resolution.
1t was a~lWaNs political, and at one time
took the direction Of a discussion upon
the tariff.
Mr.. Vest said the House tariff bill had
come over 70 the Senate on the 23d OF
July and had not yet been reported. He
remembered that Mr. Sherman had time
and again stood in the Senate chamber
aud snid u the Democrats A: " Bring your
tariff bill here from the House and we
will take it mp at once and dispose OF 1t.
Where, be asked, was the Mills OIL TO-
dav? What had become OF the declara-
tion in the Republican platform that the
INEQUALITIES in the tariff were TO be re-
formed ? No bill had been reported
back from the Committee on Finance
and he doubted very much whether any
tariff bill would be reported back. he
Was most anxious to see (whenever 1t did
come back that the knight, armed IN
proof who. like the dlsinherited knight
M the tonrnamentO Of Ashby-de-la-Souche,
would come into the arena and make
good the statement lin the "fat circu-
lar hat strange votes and speeches
would be heard from the Republican
side Of the chamber on the tariff queS-
ton. The country was waiting Tor that
QenOHcUeht.
Mr.. sherman took up Mr.. Vests chal-
hinge and declared that the Committee
on Finance would report a Republican
tariff bill designed 10 protect ana foster
American industries as against the free
trade Mills tariff bill, which was intended
n. and did. weaken many o the industries
of the country. DE further stated that
The bin TO be reported by the Finance
Committee would be a careful revision
of the tariff laws and OF the internal
yevepue laws. IL would give to the
men engaged in arts the use oil aicoho
untaxed and would sweep away tobacco

Memphis Healthy.

MEMPHIs, September 14.-Many tele-
grams have been received here from
eastern and western cities asking if it is
true that yellow-feyer had developed in
Memphis. TO ali such inquiries the re-
plies have been emphatically mol"
Neither is there any grave apprehension
Of the visitation OF the dreaded scourge.
Memphis has suffered too much 10 the
past TO cause her TO lessen the vigilance
necessary to keep the disease from enter
ing her limits. The City Council yes
terday afternoon at a general meeting
adopted and put in force tho most
stringent quarantine regulations. Every
thing is being done to protect the lives
OF tue people, not only of this city, but
of the Mississippi Valley to the south,
who look to Memphis for precaution.
If a case should develop here the fact
would be promptly noted through the
Associated Press, and until such publi-
cation is made the outside world should
respect the assertion that Memphis was
never healthier than at present.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., September IL
Quite q mysterious case developed here
to-day, and is causing somewhat of O
sensation. A man giving his name as
Otto Nerwis came here about two weeks
ago, saying he was from New York.
Two young girls about thirteen and nine
years old were with him, whom INerwis
claimed to be his relatives. He
gave their names as Flora and
Pauline Brix. Nerwis had money.
and rented a store-room for the purpose
of opening q bookstore. When asked
by the parties whom he rented from for
reference Nerves said 81 cannot give
you any reference. but I'll pay my rent
monthly in advance" Accordingly he
planked down the cash for the first
month. in a few days his goods began
to arrive. He set everything about his
store in frst-class order, had signs
painted, and began TO advertise freely In
the newspapers, paying for everything
in advance. He certainly appeared
10 mean business. In conversation
with the Dispatch correspondents he said
he intended to become a permanent resi-
dent OF Charlotte. but, strange to say,
Just as he seemed to be getting every
thing in order he left Charlotte between
two suns. Early yesterday morning the
store was closed. Nersis was seen only
once during the day. This evening DIR.
