General Occurrences at the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Dee. lS.-This after
the Republicans, and Senators Vest and
Harris for the Democrats, had consul
tation on the question of adjournment for
the holidays, but came to no agreement,
and will meet again tomorrow. The in
dications are now that the senate will adj
journ for about ten days, and that it will
hold two daily sessions.
At the executive session of the senate
to-day the nomination OF Leon Fl Bailey
to be district attorney for Indiana was
under consideration. A request was
made for papers on file in the department
of justice containing adverse reflections
on him by the committee of 100 of In
dianapolis. The nomination will be Wig
orously opposed, and the probabilities
are that it VIII be rejected.
Senator Farwell to-day introduced a
bill for the reorganization of the navy.
The bill was prepared by w. J Farwell,
a surgeon in the navy, whose letter in
support of the measure was submitted
with it The bill is intended to remedy
the discrimination now existing against
certain officers, and to facilitate promo
tons.
a new movement towards woman SUI
frage was begun in the senate-this morn
ing. Senator Dawes introduced bill to
remove the political disabilities of Mary
W. Robinson of Middlesex county,
Mass. and TO declare her citizen of the
United States with all rights and powers
of citizenship, including the privilege of
voting and being voted for. Referred.

The Probability ofthe Capture of Stanley aud
En,in Bey.
BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-Inierest in African
affairs is for the moment all conferred in the
fate of Emin Pasha and Henry NJ STAN
ley. Lieutenant Weissmann at public
meeting in October, said Emin s position
at Wadelia formed a wall which sepera-
ted the Arabs of the SOudan from those
of the South, and that if the wall col
lapsed the whole Arab movement would
be so strengthened that it would require
hundred fold greater sacrifice to
master it. The greatest doubt is thrown
here on the report that Stanley has been
captured. 1t is argued that the alleged
tight must have occurred between the
third and fifth degred of north longitude,
between LadO and Wadelai. The dis
lance to Omdurman, Osman Digna' 8
headquarters, is 1900 miles, and thence
to Suakim is another 400 miles. The
swiftest messengers would take four
months TO cover the entire distance. The
result of discussions of the Emin relief
committee however, is the postponement
of the departure of Lieutenant Weiss
mann until news has been obtained of
Emin s fate, Lieutenant Weissmann urg-
ing that if the news of Emin capture
were true important notifications of the
plan would be necessary i'll view of the
increased difficulties he would be almost
certain to meet.

TENNESSEE RACE TROUBLE.
A Bloody Fight Between Whites and Blacks in
Magistrates COurt-The Negroes
Aiming Themselves.

JACKSON, Tenn, Dec. 18.-A desper-
ate fight between negroes and whites
took place in a magistrate IS court in one
of the districts of this county Friday last .
viii Hicks, a negro, sued Peter Brown
for settlement. While Mary Brown, a
sister of the defendant, was on the wit
ness stand Hicks questioned her in a very
insulting manner, and when her brother
Tom interpOsed and asked Hicks not to
insult his sister, the negro swore he
would say what he pleased and
knocked Brown down with a
stick. A general fight ensued,
in which several negroes were stabbed
and blood flowed freely. Peter Brown
was knocked senseless with stick, and
is probably fatally wounded. The ne
groes sent to this city Sunday for ammu-
milton, and are armed with several shot
guns, pistols and knives, and swear that
they will not be arrested. Officers went
from here yesterday to arrest them. The
result is not yet known, but serious trou-
BILE is feared.

The fear, which was formerly felt by
American train men when accidents sim

Mexico as in the United States. Only

instead of being placed in Jail as was
formerly the custom.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-The Honorable
Artillery Company, the oldest military
body in the world, and a portion of
whose members visited America recently,
has been disbanded. The prince of
Wales had become disconnected with the
manner in which the finances of the
organization were managed and also
with the lack of discipline which existed
in its ranks. He had urged the members
to abandon their charter privileges and
become part of the regular volunteer
force. This suggestion was opposed by q
majority of the officers, and as conse
quence the prince of Wales, the duke of
Poptland and others sent in their resig-
nations and forwarded complaint of the
condition of company to
the queen. Her majesty
withdrew the companys warrant, and
the effect of her action is to dissolve the
company as military body.

The Failure of the Passage OF the Tariff Bill to
Be Blamed Upon the Democrats,
Capital Occurrences.
about the Tariff Bill.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 1S.-Should the
senate refuse to take a holiday recess 1t
will be novel proceeding, and indica-
tive of desire of the Republicans to
pass the tariff bill and throw the blame
for its failure at this session upon the
Democratic ways and means committee.
This purpose is neither honest nor sim
cere, and is simply an attempt to gag the
senate with q sO-called tariff reduction
measure and make the body accept it.
This attempt will be strongly resisted by
the Democratic senators, who want Suf-
ticient time to intelligently debate the
measure and to give it proper study.
They are determined the bill shall not
go through the senate i'll an undigested
state. The senate is now probably a lit
tie more than fourth of the way through
the bill, but practically all this progress
was made before the Democrats adopted
their energetic policy of attack. Before
they took up this policy about thirty
three or thirtyfour pages were gone over
very rapidly. Since then not more than
seven or eight pages have been passed,
and the progress appears to be getting
slower as they advance. This is what has
led the Republicans to the extraordinary
efforts they are making. 1t is well I'M
derstood that the Democrats are not en-
gagged in temporary obstruction of the
bill, but viii continue their present policy
until the last line is read. When
they were once aroused to the contest
they took hold of it with determination
to acquit themselves so as not to be sub
ject again to the reprOaches of their
friends in the house. As they go on with
the bill those who are taking the lead are
awaiting themselves of every opportunity
to broaden their grasps of the question.
They are determined not to let the bill go
to the house for some time yet. The
fight will go on actively and it is regarded
as not unlikely that some of the apprO-
priation bills will be seriously delayed by

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 15.-At the
annual meeting of the cotton exchange
yesterday report was made on expert
ments conducted through the summer
with pine fiber cotton bagging as sub
stitute for jute bagging. The report
brings out some points which are consid-
cred important. 1t has been demon
strated that the pine fiber cotton bagging
can be manufactured at almost any
weight per yard. 1t will not rot or stay
cotton. 1t can be manufactured at less
price than jute bagging, even if jute
should be placed on the free list. The
committee under whose direction the ex-
periments were made think that with i'm
proved machinery the manufacture of
pine straw bagging will become one of
the most profitable industries in the
South,

WORK IN THE HOUSE

Meanwhile the house is making as
rapid progress as possible with the
appropriation bills, so as to relieve
them of the responsibility of an extra
session, and to make the show of being
ready to consider the tariff bill whenever
the senate shall send it to them.
Congressman Abbott hopes to get his
bill up for a public building at Fort
Worth soon after the holiday recess.
The speaker has signified his will
ingness to recognize Mr.. Abbott
to call up his bill, and if unani-
nous consent can be obtained it
will go through. The senate carries
$3.50 600 while the house bill names $50 -
600 as the limit of cost. But if the bill
passes the house this matter can be easily
adjusted in conference committee. Since
the establishment of a new postal divis-
ion at Fort Worth there is now more need
than ever of suitable public building.

Female ChivaIry in New York.


1t is much the fashion with the cheap
wits of the day, observes the New York
COmmer idi, to sneeI at chivalry as some-
thing compounded of whim and scare
crow. And thereby they demonstrate
both their own dense ignorance and the
great need there is in the world for the
thing they SO decry. For chlvalry in es-
sence is, not as they would make it out
ian astical gallantry, but consideration
OF the strong for the weaN, the youthful,
the hTlpy, the prosperous for the aged,
the III placed, Ne poor. A pretty de-
monstNtlon ~ 1t came off on Sixth
avenue elevated car the other afternoon.
The car was wolully crowded, as usual,
when 1t steamed up to Park place, and
among the passengers who squee ed on
was thin elderly woman, with a hard,
sour, grumpy face, yet pitiful tremor of
hands that belied her defiant countenance.
She struggled up the aisle, quite hopec, $
OF anything more than strap to which
she might cling, but ust as the car was
fairly in motion girl with the face of an
angel, the gown of Partisan, and a
package Of bon.bons, worth their weight
in nickel, stood up, tall and straight and
fair, and with n kindly touch put the
poor battered creature into her vacant
seat, while dozen men young, strong,
healthy and unburdened, lolled and
stared at her in unabashed ease.
