FIFTY-FIRsT CONGRESS.
SENATE.


WASHINGTON, April 29.-After the trans
action of some routine morning business of
little public Importance, the consideration
of the land forfeiture bill was re-
sumed on motion to lay the amend
ment on the table. There was not
a quorum voting-yeas q. nays H-but
as the call of the senate showed the pres
ence of fifty-two members, the vote was
about to be taken again when Senator
Sherman gave notice that whenever there
was quorum present and the vote did not
disclose the fact heshould insist upon the
sensible rule that any senator present and
not voting should be counted.
Mr.. Backburn-It is the purpose of the
senator from OHIO then TO disregard the
pairs of senators or TO disregard the rules
of the senate and authorize the presiding
officer to do that which the speaker of the
house has been recently engaged in doing.
Senator Sherman--I would vote to break
a pair but there are one or two senators
present whom will name for whom pairs
were not advanced and who did not vote on
the last vote. think it Is the duty of every
person who is not paired to vote, and that
is the position have always accepted: l
| never have been present (unpaired) with
oub feeling it my duty to vote.
Senator Blackburn agree to that.
Amendments were submitted by Senators
Eyarts and Vest and went over without
action. Senator George and Mr., Coke said

KEMMLER'S FATE.
HIS EXECUTION BY ELEC-
TRICITY ON THURSDAY.
A PLAN TO REsUsJITATE HIM
--latest Phases of the Carpenters Strike
in Chicago-Estimatss of the
Strikers on May
Day.

AUBURN, N. Y, April 2S.-Kemmler' S
last Sunday on earth was spent in much
the same way as the previous days of his
years life, if life it can be called, in solitary
confinement. He never sees living soul
outside of his two guards, his spiritual ad-
wiser and occasionally the warden's wife.
He occupies his time between meals in
studying his pictorial Bible and writing his
autograph on cards, of which he has
dashed off great many.
DIR. Fell, the Buffalo scientist, with a
patent resuscitating apparatus, has arrived
and is the guest of Warden Duston. He is
here at the request of the warden to see
that everything goes off smoothly. The
doctor tried his patent on animals which
were put to death by electricity at the
prison in January last. When the
machinery was first tested it failed at that
time to resuscitate the subjects and went far
towards convincing the electrical commits
sion that death and not mere suspended an
iinatlon was produced instantaneously. 1t
is understood he will also try the apparatus
on Kemmler after the latter has received
1000volts,
Warden Duston has yet to let fall the first
linking as to the precise day of Kemmler's
taking off. 1t is generally believed that
Wednesday will be the day, but certainly
no later than Thursday. 1t is also said the
execution will take place at a very early
hour in the morning, perhaps beftSa day
light, but these are mere surmiseD. New
York city newspaper men are here in great
force The warden is as unyielding as
adamant in shutting out press representa-
tives, but some of the doctors or guards al
the execution may. be prevailed upon to
talk after it is all over.

more of the situation than that the officers
of the United States are not suffered freely

condition of things cannot be longer toll

LINES FROM LAREDO.
The Boom Still Continues, with Business Of
All Kinds Increasing.

LAREDO, Tex, April 29.-The board of
directors of the Rio Grande National Bank
of Laredo have ratified the resolution of
the stockholders to increase the capital
stock of the bank to $250,000 and that the
stock be sold for s103 per share. This bank
opened for business in November last with
$100 900 capital, but the demand for money
consequent upon the rapid increase Of
business and the influence of population
has exceeded public expectations. Plans
are now being prepared for manificent
office building for this bank Mr. Patrick
Murphy of Ireland. q capitalist Of
large means, has been spending a
week in Laredo. Mr.. Murphy under
took the trip from Ireland solely
for the purpose of investigating Laredo
and its resources and advantages and in
vested heavily in real estate on the heights.
He expresses his opinion that the reserves
and many other advantages OF Laredo are
sure TO be the building up Of large and
magnificent city here. He looks upon the
remarkable development Of this place as
one of the most substantial evil
dences of American genius and energy
that he has ever encountered. A sale of
$4,000 worth of land adjoining the city
was consummated today. This purchase
was made by California capitalist, who
has also made large investments in Laredo
business property which he will immedi-
ately improve.
Capt. George T. Walker of the City Of
Mexico spent today in Laredo. He has just
arrived from England. where he succeeded
in raising capital for the construction of
railway from Mazatlan, Mexico. on the
Pacific coast to Laredo. This line will be
run in connection with the White Star
steamship line, which phys between Mazat-
Ian and Australia. The line will be
the shortest route between the Mexican
and Pacific coast and the trade centers of
the United States and also between Aus
tralia and England. 1t will develop
large section of the country tributary to
Laredo and will turn immense commerce
this way.
large supply for the line has been Sc,
cured and work will commence at once.

LABOR TROUBLES.
THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 26.-It is now
stated there will be no strike of pack
ing house employees at the stock yards
as was at one time feared-a strike which
would have involved about 1900 men.
There was a very strong sentiment in
favor of it but older and cooler
heads who had passed through
the disastrous strike of 1856
counselled against it as hopeless and their
counsel finally prevailed. The gas filters
went out on a strike this morning as had
been threatened. The prospect is not very
hatterlng for the strikers, and considerable
dissatisfaction is already being felt among
them.
The statement is published here to effect
the meeting of non-union carpenters who
have come here from other States was held
last night to take steps to secure protection
against intimidation from strikers. They
were advised that being from other States
they could call on the United States tc
protect them in default of protection by the
authorities of this State. 1t is further
stated that memorial was drawn up and
forwarded to Secretary Blaine, asking fol
the protection of the United States gov
ernment in the exercise of their coDstitu-
tlonal rights, now denied as they allege
Dy tne moo OF rlOtOuS OuJldWS VINO ueIy
the authorities, and who maintain reign
of terror over those who differ with them
on questions of trades unions.
In spite of numerous conferences to be
held today there is but little prospects that
the carpenters strike will be settled. The
Carpenters and Builders association re-
fuses to recognize the union in any way
and the strikers insist they will agree to nc
terms until this is done. when 1t comes
to treating with our workmen individually
President Golden said this morning 1--WE
are ready, but if the appointment OF an ar.
bitration committee from an organization
is constructed by them into a recognition
of the union then there is nothing to talk
about. We will not under any circumstances
or conditions recognize their society"

THE EIGHT HOUR MOVEMENT.
The Reports Of a Colossal Strike in Chicago
Said to Be Sensational.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 2S.-The Times
prints advance sheets from city officials OF
the number of wage workers, male and
female, in the old wards of the city at tie
present time The statistics were secured
for the light they cast OH the anticipated
labor troubles predicted for May 1. The
Times says mere glance at the tables will
suffice 10 show the extravaganza of the
scared announcements made by some OF
the local newspapers. The tables include
all who would be likely to inaugurate an
eight hour movement. The gross number
is shown to be 3O4, 4,7O4 Of these 46,2Sl are
women. who, by common assent, are
wholly without organization and
not meditating a strike. Ac-
nording TO the reports that have been
circulated fully one half of the remaining
25S, ,423 will 90 out May l. When it is re-
membered that the cigar makers, paper
hangers, stone masons, brick layers,
plumbers and plasterers now have an eight
hour day. When it is further remembered
that all employees of the carrying trade, all
clerks. wholesale and retail, bakers,
brewers. tanners, professional men, bank
brokers and real estate employees, in short
ali except the few crafts that have pushed
themselves to public notice in the projected
movement, have no intention of striking.
The extravaganza of the reports alluded to
becomes apparent. 1t is thought actual
fgures will furnish but few of the 100000 or
10000 strikers expected by labor agitators
to participate in the strike.

THE BUTTERwORTH BILL.
Why 1t Will Be Ruinous to the Interests
the Cotton States.

New York, April pa protest against
the passage of Butterworth's bill has re.
ceived many signatures among cotton firms
here. 1t is addressed to the cotton growers
and business men of the South. After call
inG attention to the common interests in
volved, the circular calls attention
to the fact that a ruinous blow
in the shape of proposed law, known
as the Butterworth bill, now menaces
the property of the South. Under the
present system of trading, the cotton States
had been lifted from poverty to independ-.
ence. The biggest cotton crop we pur-
chased has been marketed this season at
very high prices and the next crop, which
promises to be still larger, is already in de-
mand at prices which will enrich the pro-
ducers and indirectly distribute wealth
among every community in the cotton
belt. If the Butterworth bill should be-
come law, the effect would be at once to
Danish from the American markets nine
teen out of every twenty men now buying
cotton, and the price would be just what
English and the Continental spinners
might be willing to make it. That would
mean lower market value for the staple
than has been known for years.

RED RIVER LEVEL WITH ITS
BANKS-BRAzOS RISING
ABOUT EIGHT FEET IN ONE DAY
Interruption to Trade in North Texas =
The Greer County Murder
Texas Ball and
Bat.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, April 26.-The rain
ceased last night, and the sun has been
shining brightly all day. Elm and Pecan
creeks are confined within their banks, and
all fear of further danger is passed. Red
river is still booming, and in some places
running over the banks into the bottoms.
The river is higher than it has lbeen since
1876. The damage throughout the coun-
try will be considerable. Many farms
are ruined and washed up; roads
damaged, culverts and bridges carried
away and fences torn up badly. Many
farms in the lowlands are In great meas
ure ruined. No trains yet running South
on the Santa Fe and it will take hard work
to make such repairs as are necessary to
start trains south tomorrow. The way is
open north on the Santa Fe and passen-
ger train went out at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. A passenger train is
expected some time tonight from Denison
on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road
which is not repaired west of here, and
trains will hardly run to Henrietta before
Monday. A number OF strangers from all
parts OF the country have been stopping
over today, being delayed by washouts.
The bad weather is seemingly over and
everybody reJolceS.
THE COLORADO FALLING.
COLUMBUS, Tex, April 26.-The old Colo.
RADIO that has been raging for the past three
days has fallen, and is now again within its
banks. Farmers in the lowlands are pro-
portionately happy. Considerable damage
was done by the rise, but not as much as by
the overflow of last year.
THE BRAzos RISING.
GRANBURY, Tex, April 26. 10 p. m.-The
Brazos has risen eight feet during the last
twenty-four hours and is still rising
slowly. 1t has reached point within four
feet cf the great rise of 1875 and six feet
over the rise of 1885. All of the lower val
ley farms are from one to four feet un-
der water and great damage is being
done, Some uneasiness is felt for the fine
iron bridge at this place. The water is
now within feet of the main iron span.
The railroad bridge is considered safe yet
The additional rise of or feet is expected
by morning.
CONSEQUENCES OF THE RAIN.
ABILENE, Tex, April 26.-Abilene had her
first train since Wednesday last today, the
same being local train from the West as
far as Big Springs. 1t is possible we may
get mail from the East by transfer al
Baird on Monday, but not before. The
Brazos is reported this evening as being
four feet higher than was ever known
before and is still rising. Fifteen bridges
are washed out east of Baird and it will
necessarily be some time before we have q
through train. Today has been beauti-
full day and it is hoped that the rain has
ceased. All the small streams near here
are now subsiding.
