In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Vest moved
to reconsider the vote by which the con-
ference report on tie direct tax bill was
agreed to Saturday and said the object
was to give reasons for opposing the bill.
After discussion the matter went over and
a message was sent to the house request
ing the return of the bill.
Cullom from the committee on territor-
les reported back the house bill to organ
ize the territory of Oklahoma and it was
placed on the calendar, Cullom giving
notice that he would call it up for action
as soon as possible.
Butler, member of that committee,
presented a substitute representing the
views of the minority. Platt, another
member, said he did not agree with the
majority of the committee, but would
support the resolution presented by But
Ter.
Sherman gave notice that he would to-
morrow move to proceed to the considera-
ton and disposition of the conference re-
port of the direct tax bill.
Frye asked the presiding officer what
was the position of the Union Pacific
funding bill and was told hat by the vote
TO take up the pending resolution re-
ported from the committee on privileges
and elections it had been displaced from
its order before the senate. Hoar said he
was quite sure that every member Of the
committee on privileges and elections
would be willing, the senator from Maine
having been absent on account of a DO
nestle affection, to have his bill restored
to all its rights and that it shall lose moth
ing whatever by the elections resolution
having been taken up. Frye then said
there would be a meeting Of the Pacific
railroad committee tomorrow morning
and it would then be determined whether
or not he will ask for a restoration of the
funding bill to its place.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the Texas outrages resolution and
Coke began his fourth days argument
against it.
At the close of Coke's speech the reso
luton was laid aside and Allison, from the
committee OF appropriations, reported
back the Sundry Civil appropriation bill
with amendments and gave notice hat he
would call it up o-morrow. The house
bill to provide for taking the eleventh and
subsequent censuses was passed and the
senate adjourned.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-Dunn of Ar
kansas, from the committee on merchant
marine and fisheries, called up the bill to
provide for the better protection of the
seal and salmon fisheries of Alaska.
After some discussion the bill was recon-
mited to report it back with an amend
ment reducing from twenty to ten years
the term of the lease of the seal fisheries
and authorizing any person to bring suit
every seal taken in excess OF that fixed
by law. Crisp then called up the Sullivan
Welton California election case.
McKenna OF California raised the ques-
ton of consideration and on a rising vote
the Republicans outvoted the Democrats
IS to IA, and the yeas and nays were or
dered. Then a body OF Republicans re-
Trained from voting and left the house
without a quorum, the vote upon taking
up the election case standing yeas 40,
nays IL. A call of the house was ordered
and 243 members responded to their
names. Further proceedings under the
call were dispensed with and a vote was
AGAIN taken on onsideration Of the cleo
ton case. Again the Republicans re-
Trained from voting and again the absence
OF a quorum was developed, the vote
standing yeas 1876, nays 6, and again a
call OF the house was demanded by Crisp.
The call was ordered and pending this
on motion OF Crisp a resolution was
adopted directing the sergeant-at-arms to
telegraph for the absent members. Then
Crisp called attention to the fact that the
representatives who last week were SO
anxious to proceed to the consideration of
one election case, were now filibustering
against the consideration of another
case.
Reed of Maine suggested that last
week the representatives had had some
confidence in this tribunal, but that that
confidence had been lost. The house then
adjourned

kilograms OF anxious inquiry were pouring
IN from every part of the country and the
friends OF those supposed 10 be in the
ruins were arriving on every train with
immense crowds of curious people from
surrounding towns.
The lower floor of a large wool ware
house was made a temporary morgue and
the bodies were taken there as fast as re-
covered and opportunity offered for iden-
hfication by friends. Those not identified
were taken in charge by the city. The
injured were promptly sent to the hospi-
tai. The recovery of the bodies was slow
owing to the immense accumulation Of
debris, but at nearly regular intervals one
or two parties were found during the
afternoon. They were recovered in the
order of the list given.
The catastrophe was devoid of harrow
ing details, and the hair breadth and
thrilling rescues generally attending an
uncontrolled confiagration. One terrible
crash. smoke, flames, quick rushing
streams Of water and all was over. For
this reason the disaster simply over
whelmed the people and the magnitude
OF the calamity annot be realized. In
fact, Its extent Is not yet known. The
register of the hotel has not yet been
found and Mr.. Perry. the night clerk, is
buried in the ruins. But from the best
estimates that can be obtained from the
landlord and others, it is probable there
were not far from fifty people in the hotel
proper. Of:these perhaps five may have
escaped uniniured amid the confusion of
the early morning hours, which would
leave forty five u~naccounted for. Ten
are in the hospital and up to this writing
(midnight) sixteen dead bodies have been
taken from the ruins, leaving nineteen
still missing, but there may be more than
that.
The complete list of bodies taken outup
to midnight is as follows: Dwight H.
Buell., George Gaines, colored porter,
George Engler of Hartford, John W.
Housman, commercial traveller of Boston;
j. O. Hill, commercial traveller of Buffalo;
Louis Ill. Bronson, secretary of the Hart
ford Stove company. his wife and child;
George ketchum, brother of the land
lord; Eddie Ketchum, aged IL, son of
the landlord; George w. Root, CONNER
cial traveller from Boston; A. S. Tillotson,
commercial traveller from Cincinnati;
Macmillan Galody, proprietor of the
Hartford Herald, and his wife; Mrs.
Andrew +. Whitney and two unknown
men.
The victims at the hospital are all doing
well, most of their injuries being superb
cial, although all are suffering from chill
and exposure. Some of the bodies of the
dead are much disigured and burned, but
the faces of most of them are not injured
and wear Il hfelike expression. Electric
lights have been put in and around the
ruins and the search will be vigorously
pushed all night.

BaptiStS and Prohibition.

The Southern Baptist Convention.
which convened in Memphis on May
10th. and which embraces the Bap-
fists of Lincoln county among its
constituency, passed the following
preamble and resolution during their
session. as the sense of the Conven-
tion on the liquor traffic:
Whereas. the liquor traffic is a most
powerful hindrancc to the gospel of
Christ and an aggressive enemy to
social order: and whereas this traffic
is steadily cmcIoaching upon all that
Christian men revere and the human
heart holds dear; and whereas it
seeks to destroy the Christian Sabbath
and annihilate public morals and the
public conscience; and whereas all
Christian bodies should speak out in
no uncertain tones OH this question:
therefore.
Resolved, by the Southern Baptists
in convention assembled, That we ia
vor the speedy and entire prohibition
of the liquor traffic: that we oppose
license for this traffic in any and all of
its forms through which men buy the
right to dcstroy human hope and hap
pincSS and blight human souls, as an
otfcnse against public morals and a
sin against God.

Lessee Control.

of State Control Of the Penitentiary,

tenn:
AS will be seen by report of
DR.. Johnston published elsewhere,
only four deaths have occurred in the
PenitentiarN since December 4th, 1S-
SS, when the state Board assumed
control. The Clarion-Ledgcr is in-
formed that since the State took
charge of the convicts the mortality
has been at the rate of a fraction over
three per cent. per anuum-as com
pared with IA mortality of about six
teen per cent. two years ago, and of
about eleven per cent. one year ago.
At the meeting this week the first
payment into the State Treasury of
receipts in excess Of expenditures was
made, the sum paid in being $4,000.
The Brookhaven leader., 1889-05-30

We don't charge the present State
Treasurer with any thing wrong any
more than we admit that he is the
only honest man in the State, but it
would be good business sense for the
people to elect a new man to give the
books thorough Overhauling and
count the assets, which Il legislative
committee never does efiectually.
Polk of Tennessee, was trusted and
tried official until he coulC no longer
conceal his embezzlements and ran
away. Vincent, of Alabama, was
above reproach until he had appro-
priated large sum of the States
funds and absconded between two
suns for the West, aud Dick Tate,
"honest old Dick Tate of Kentucky,
who had held the money bags of his
State for 20 years, was never suspect
ed of anything wrong until he had
robbed the State of several hundred
thousand dollars and had his baggage
checked for Canada.

ventiun. The ticket nominated by
the State Convention, it matters not
by whom composed, will, with moral
certainty. be elected in November.
Therefore it is easily seen how i'm
portant it is that every Democrat who
wishes to have a voice in deciding
who shall hc the Democratic nominees
and afterwards our State officers,
should make use of the opportunity
afforded in the primary of expressing
his choice.

1t is idle to think of the Alliance or
the farmers getting representation in
the Democratic State Convention
otherwise than through their local
Democratic organization, and equally
idle is all thought of clectiug any in
dependent State ticket in opposition
to the regular Democracy.
Farmers and Democrats, these
things are worth thinking about when

seeking independents are trying to
get YOU ratified and make you fall

trite aphorism, and in IN agricultu-
raj country like this, it might as truly
he said that the voice of the farmers
is the voice of God: bat if the farm
ers allow themselves to be deceived
and divided and humbugSed by dem
agogues and otlice-hunters seeking
their own selfish ends, and who tell
them all kinds of lies to excite their
prejudices and breed disSension in
their ranks, then their voice is but as
IA tinkling cymbal and sounding
brass. In this State and county,
united and organized and speaking
through the Democratic party, the
farmers can have what they Will.
Divided by the misrepresentation
and stories of designing, self seeking
men, they tall easy victims to the
Vaccinations Of such men, and their
deceivcrs, enjoying the fruits of their
trick, secretly laugh the farmers to
scorn as SO many blOckheads.

to honor their party organization and
select beforehand men to he elected
in November, without the dictation
of the negro, independent and Re-
publican vote. or to waive any choice
in the matter until November, and
then with divisions among them
selves, allow the negroes, Republicans
and independents to decide at the
regular election who shall he the
county's officials for the ensuing two
years? BY uniting in the primary and
nominating their strongest men. the
Democrats can preserve their party
organization intact and elect their
ticket in November over all oppOsi-
ton. Neglect to do this, and' they
lose every thing

idea of placing his candidacy on that
ground. When they began to count
