Oulrages in Washington County Texas came up for

so frequently dIsgraced Southern elections, and to
enforce by statute, II possible tho purity Of the
ballot and an honest count of II Naturally enough
Mr. Eyars was DESTROYS OF presenting 10 the Senate the
Views Of the majority OF tho committee in regard TO

Mr. Harris. however the leader Of the Democratic

would lead at the present time to practical result,
and would interfere seriously with pending business
He pretended TO say that the violation Of ballot boxes

Mr.. sherman showed that the appropriation bills were

manner this was certainly the time TO examine the
methods by which Democrats In the South intend 10

After hasty consultation the Democrats concluded
rather than TO have the bill discussed, they would

RAILROAD INTERESTS.
NATURAL CAUSES THE REASON FOR THAT CITY,
EXCESS OF CORN SHIPMENTS,
pENIALs COME FROM BALTIMORE.

EXCESS OF CORN SHIPMENTS
baltimore, Feb. IL (speciaD. Baltimore grain
merchants were somewhat exercised to-day over the
article IN The Tribune regarding tho increased corn
trade of this city. The merchants and the railroad
men deny that any discrimination has been made
In rates in favor Of the Monumental City, but assert
that the large Of receipts here is due to the
fact that baltimore is the better shipping port and
always has been ahead Of Philadelphia and New
York in exporting Frank Harrou, freight
agent of the Baltimore aud Ohio said:
Baltimore has always been the corn market OF
the Atlantic States. The receipts every year VIII
show the relative in favor of Baltimore
There has been no discrimination in rates"
Alexander J. Godby OF GIN & Fisher, prominent
shippers, said Baltimore has always been the corn
market of the country. The crop last season was
large and by Of better facilities for shipping
the corn was sent 10 this market l know OF no
discrimination having been made in rates in favor
Of B3tImore."
Some of the shippers say that the corn shipped
from the West has bee1 graded mora fairly here for
the farmers than In New-York. Another cause Is
The better class OF tonnage which is obtained at this
port now and the fair scale OF freight rates given by
the railroads. 1t is known that Philadelphisos have
suspectng some favoritlSm of the Pennsy Nanla
Railroad In elevator charges at this point. a poml-
peut philadelphia firm has also been suspected OF
doing tho most OF its grain shipping from this port
under the name Of certain Baltimore firms.

fling. Then a suppostitious attack by
bo4le was made from the feet. The
mythical force was received by deadly
fire from the intantrymen, who until
this time had remained inactive. AS
the gunners needed the signal to cease
firing, the infantrymen advanced to the
breakwater, and awaited the attack in
boats. The effect of this attack was
produced by means of hundreds of
dynamite cartridges exploded On board
the mortar fleet in such rapid success
sion as TO resemble a tusilade
with rifles. The attack was re-
pulsed in gallant style. Then
the infantry fell back aud the can
nonading again began, resulting in two
vessels of the feet being so disabled that
the admiral of the feet ordered men in
dispatch boat to set them on fire, and
soon the torch had been applied to the
brigantine Holley, which was burned
to the waters edge. In the meantime
the dispatch boat had executed it's err
rand and applied the torch to the little
gunnoat Dexter. For moment or two
the fire fickered feebly here and there.
then it shot up higher, and as the
powder magazine was reached there
was terrific explosion that burst the
doomed craft into pieces. The explo-
sion resem bled huge ball of myriad
sparks that vanished in an instant and
let no. trace save a bit of burning
wreckage that foated hither and
thither on the water. The battle was
over and the victory was Milwaukee's.
