The Senate Discusses the Proposition,
But Don't Vote.

The Senate Discusses the Proposition
But Don't Vote
WASHINGTON, Sept. I'm the Senate
to-day the House bill to enlarge the
powers and duties of the department of
agriculture and to create an executive de-
partment, to be known as the department of
agriculture, was taken up-the question be-
ing on the amendment striking out section
5, which transfers the weather bureau
of the signal service to the
department OF agriculture. In
the course of the debate, which was partici-
pated in by Messrs. Butler, Palmer, Call,
Dawes and Plumb. The latter described
the competitor which American agricultur-
lists met and would continue to meet in the
markets OF the world from South America,
Australia, India and Africa, and declared
HE belief that unless the existing conditions
were changed, and markedly changed,
India wheat would sell in tho New York
mar get within five years duty paid in COM
petition with American wheat. Ii was,
therefore, desirable that the President should
have in his cabinet man who represented
the great agricultural interests of the coun-
try, and it was necessary TO diversity agri-
culture, and to look more and more TO tho
home market rather than to the foreign
market. In this connection he favored en-
enlargement of the production of sugar
from sorghum and beets.
The discussion was further continued by
Messrs. George, Blair, Vest, Butler and
Dawes. Without action the bill was laid
aside till tomorrow and the senate at $40
o'clock adjourned.

Enough Stump Speakers on Hand to
Talk the People to Death.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 17-Ex- Secretary
Ltchman of the Knights of Labor left this
city this morning to begin his canvass of
thes state. Eocles Robinson, John j. Jarrett,
A. L. Rankin, and other organized labor
orators take the stump tomorrow in advo-
cacy of the republican ticket. Anna DicIdn-
son makes her opening address at Richmond,
Ind, on the night of Sept. 81, and speaks
at Indianapolis Saturday night next. This
activity eli the part of the republican mana
gers is equalled in every particular by the
democratic managers. Just at this juncture
they may not have as many well-known
outside speakers in the field, but their local
orators are beloved to outnumber those of
the republicans. The great campaign in
Indiana may be said to be in full swing.
BEING TALKED TO DEATH.
The line of battle extends from the Dor
ders OF Lake Michigan to the southernmost
hamlet in Percy county, and it is estimated
that over 1900 speeches are being delivered
every night now throughout the state The
reports Indicate that SeDator Voorhees, is
addressing larger audiences than ever be-
fore greeted him. He speaks tonight at
Lebanon.
Congressman Roger Q. Mills, on his way
to Texas, will make five speeches in
Indiana, opening at Richmond Thursday
afternoon, Sept 20, and then speaking at
indianapolis on the night Of Sept. 81, at
Brazil on the afternoon of Sept %, and at
Terre Haute at night, at Vincennes on the
afternoon of Sept. "a, and at st. Louis on
Sept. 25.
GOING TO LOOK AFTER BIS OWN FENCES
1t is understood that the distinguished
congressman goes home to look after his
own fences, aud will return to Indiana In
October.
The democratic state committee announce
that Judge Thurman will speak at the Shell
byville barbecue Oct. Is, at the Peru barbe-
cue Oct. II, and at Brazil Oct. 20. Brazil
is in the heart of the coal-mining region Of
Indiana. The committee is reluctant to
abandon its original intention to have
Judge Thurman address great meet
ing at indianapolis, and to-day
determined to carry the matter of renting
Tomlnson Hall to the county republican
committee for the entire month Of October
TO the city council.
OWNED BY THE CITY.
The hall is the property of the city, and
the arrangement with the republican
county committee was made by the CITY
of the council, but major
ity Of the republican aldermen
are opposed to any action that would oper-
ate to prevent Judge Thurman from speak
ing here. Chairman Jewett, therefore. con-
fidently expects to secure the big hall for
Judge Thurman.
Ex-Congressmau Calkins, who has re-
Gently returned from participating in the

ADJOURNMENT PROSPECTS.
The Fate of the Oates Proposition
Still in Doubt.

The Fate of the Oates Proposition
Still in Doubt.
WASHINGTON, Sept NV. c. p Breck-
inridge and Mr.. McMillin are the only
democratic members of the ways and means
committee here They will probably have
to do all the fighting in the caucus to-
morrow night against Mr. Oates and his
followers, who want the House to pass a
resolution providing for a speedy adjourn
ment. The leaders of the democrats
are all against this plan, but most
of them are away on speaking tours, hence
there is possibility that Mr. Oates may be
successful, or at least that the caucus may
leave the matter so that Mr.. Oates can
bring in this resolution. The republicans,
in anticipation of this, have already agreed
to vote for the resolution, thus passing it.
OATES REASONS.
Representative Oates sums up the reason
why democrats should bring forward an
adjournment resolution thus: Everybody
knows that the republican senators do not
mean to bring in a tariff bill, and we
might wait here all this month and
all next month without passing that
republican tariff bill. The only object
of waiting is to affect the presidential cleo
tion. Meanwhile by staying hse we
imperil the congressional electors Demo-
CTaUS nave 10 SCdy mere WDOSe ulSUriCUS are
doubtful while their republican competitors
are getting in the votes that will elect them.
Now having made our record ON the tariff
bill, a record which the senate has failed to
meet and will fail to meet, let us adjourn
and go home.
REPLY OF THE OPPOSITION.
To this w. c. +. Breckenridge and the other
leaders who have managed the affairs of
the house so successfully during the
past ten months reply: 1--WE have
sent a tariff bill TO the senate.
The Senate republicans have announced
that they have discarded it and are prepar-
ing substitute for it. We may think that
the substitute will never be reported, but
we must wait and see. If we propose an
adjournment, the Senate will either agree,
and then say that we prevented tariff legis-
lation, or will vote our resolution down,
and while keeping us here will put us
in the position of seeming to run
away from the Senate BILL In other words,
by proposing an adjournment the House
would take the Senate out of hole and
then get in it itself As to the congressional
election. the democrats in doubtful districts
can go home whenever they want to, and
as a matter of fact they have mostly gone"
There are number of democrats who would
like to go home, but who will not support
Mr.. Oates against the leaders, who have won
their confidence by success. They may
turn the scale against Mr.. Oates.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept. 17.-George How
ard, alias Capt. Vanderbilt. son of the old
commodore. is in Jail here yet. 1t was I'M
derstood yesterday that he would ask for Il
preliminary hearing to-day, but up to
nightfall he had not done SO, but spent his
time importuning such citizens as he could
hear of as charitably inclined to help him
out of the mess. Had he made known his
lacv of funds he could probably have had
assistance, but the sentiment Is now strongly
toward making him pay for his fun in
Atlanta, at Old Point Comfort aud other
places. He sticks to the Buffalo Bill story and
yesterday sent, at the expense of kindly
disposed person, the following telegram:
Buffalo Biz, Philadelphia.
Isn't George Howard your agentf
Another telegram asked if George How
ard was authorized to make contracts. The
answer came back:
Howard is an imposter. BUFFALO BILL.
He is chatting terribly at his confinement,
and seems to have it in for the parties who
ran him down so quickly and cleverly.

AUGUSTUS BROKEN CANAL.
Engineer Holley's Estimate Of the Cost
of the Repatra

AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 1.-THE city coun-
Gil met this afternoon at O'Clock to listen
to the verbal report Of Engineer Holley OF
council to investigate the damage to the
city water works by the foods and make
suggestions as to repairing them Mr..
Holley was the engineer Of the canal
during its construction. There were
present a number of citizens interested
in the work He did not report in writing,
but went over his examination of the dam
ages. He thought that his estimate of
S75,0 would cover the damages to the
first level of the canal, if the money was
judiciously expended, The work might be
done in about sixty days after the COM
mencement Of operations Trouble would
arise from narrow and rather inaccessible
places needing repairs, which would not
allow any great number of workmcn on
the scene at once.
THE LARGEST BREAK.
The largest break wss near Warren
springs, about four miles from the city
and half way to the locks. 1t was 1000
feet wide and washed out to below the bed
of the canal Above this are three smaller
breaks. The dirt to do this work will not
be handy and will have to be wheeled
across the canal He estimates that 1000
men and 500 carts can be employed on the
work. Mr.. Holey will, if he can arrange with
the projectors of the Columbia canal, give
to the work of repairing his personal super
attendance. He left for Columbia this
afternoon to see about returning to Augusta.
In the meantime Coleman's and Roe's
creeks, which empty into the canal, will be
damned up to prevent the water from run
ming out through the breaks and directing
it toward the basin of the city's water
supply.

AUGUSTUS FLOOD.
The Signal ONCE Warning a Source

of Uneasiness.
AUGUSTA, GA, Sept. 1.-THE receipt of
the special bulletin of the signal service,
warning this section of a probable danger
Gus rise in the Savannah, and the fact that
heavy rainfall was reported up the river,
caused considerable uneasiness among the
timid portion of the community to-day, aud
even the drawer watched the bulletin
of the river with great interest. The
food of last week fell until Sunday
afternoon, when, at 6 o'clock it began
slowly to rise. 1t was IS feet at that hour.
By midnight 1t was nearly IA feet and ris-
ing rapidly. At 3 o'clock it was II feet
high, and 9 o'clock 20 feet nine inches. At
midnight it was % feet inches, at O'Clock
231{ feet and at 3 O'Clock % feet So inches.
IL will be seen that the maximum rise was
between 1 and 2 o'clock, after which it
lessened. At 4:33 o'clock this afternoon,
when the signal service officer took the
measurements, the register told off % feet
Q inches, and at 9 o'clock the community
was treasured.

AN ANTI-TILLMAN COMBINE.
A Dark Horse to be Trotted Out In
This Mornings Balloting.


AIKEN, S. c., Sept. 1.-THE Second con
gressional district convention met at Aiken
to-day, after three recesses The 425th
ballot was taken, without change.
A resolution was then adopted resembling
that passed at the beginning of the session,
binding delegates b. vote for none but the
three candidates, MessrS. Tillman, Aid :ich,
and Henderson. This was passed by vote
Of 90 TO %, being an ant-Tllmau vote
and a recess was taken till o'clock.
This it is thought, indicates an anti 1ilman
combination FOR dark horse. The conven-
ton at the afternoon session, however, ac-
complshed nothing and after balloting for
an hour or two adjourned till tomorrow
