NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 4.-"You are
an infamous liar" came theh retorti in
in the Senate chamber this morning,
and Immediately the sergeant-at-arns
was called to prevent personal COM
bat between two senators, Alexander
and Riley, almost in front Of tho chair
mans stand.
Order was soon restored, and the
rwo senators afterwards made up and
apotogized to the Senate. The trouble
arose in q debate over resolution
brought by Mr. Alexander providing
that reward be offered for the appre-
hension and conviction OF Messrs.
Irish, Ingraham, Merrill and Haymak-
er, the committe from insurgent miners
OF Briceville, on the ground that these
had melted lawlessness and rebellion
against the State. The exciting episode
served to divert attention from other
proceedings OF the session to some ex-
tent to the House resolution appointing
committee to investigate the alleged
incendiary conduct OF Commissioner Of
Labor Ford and Representative Allie
man, and the House resolution declar-
ing the general assembly powerless TO
abrogate the lease were adopted.

him to be the most eloquent and logical

as to what the verdict will be, both
from the amount OF money involved

Lumber nusInoss Interrup.ed.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 4.-The early
closing down of all the lumber mills at
the head Of the lake is probable. The
cause is lack of logs in the Aminicon
and Middle rivers. There are 12,000,0 900
feet Of logs belonging to three mills
here hung up. The trouble is peculiar.
Early in the spring the logs werefroze to-
gether solidly in the streams and were
not thawed until the spring treshets
passed and tho stage OF water became
too low to raft. A great many men will
be thrown out OF employment.

New York, Sept. 4.-The Norwegian
steamer Alert arrived here this morn
ing from Hayti and reported that a
climax in Hayti's disturbed affairs
would undoubtedly be reached soon.
Orders were issued by President
Hyppolite that if the exiles returned to
the city and made successful attack on
the palace the guns were to be turned on
the city. So strong is the belief that q
revolution will soon break out in Hayh
that many OF the foreign residents have
moved out Of Port au Prince or are
sending their families away. On the
day OF the Alerfs departure President
Hyppolite's family was leaving Port au
Prince for Cape Hayti. From what can
be learned OF the insurrectionists they
are still at Kingston, actively preparing,
1t is said, to leave that place to make q
descent on the Haytien capital.

Tho Amount stolen.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 4.-The
bandits who robbed the Southern
Pacific express train at samuels on
Tuesday night secured more booty than
the reports of the robbery stated. In
each Wells.Targo car there are two
safes, one for local business and one
for through business. The latter is
locked at Houston and opened here, re-
locked here and not reopened until it
reaches San Francisco. The messengers
do not know the combination and the
contents are generally very valuable
1t was that safe which tho robbeas blew
open. The loss is therefore much
heavier than at first reported. Instead
Of SO, 900 it will reach $4,000, and may
even go higher. The manager OF the
Texas division admits that the amount
secured is over $4,000.

John NJ. Oakley & Co. received the follow
ing: "Tne weakness of last nights closing
prices was reflected in the lower quotations
from London this morning. This in turn
had its effect on the opening of our market.
The bear element have become more en-
couraged; they draw comfort from even st.
Petersburg, where the condition of the
money market is causing grave apprehen-
sions, and rumors are circulating there af-
fecting the stability of q number of their
leading banking houses. the reflection Of
this trouble will, it is indicated, be felt on
the Paris Bourse and the London Exchanges.
At the latter the market for Americans was
quite weak to-day because of forced sales
accompanied by rumors of financial difficult
ties there.
"The rumor f1end is quite active. He had
plenty of ma aterial floating about yesterday,
but holders of substantial American securi-
ties need not feel disturbed; the prices OF
such may be dragged down for time, but

"In the meantime we are being treated to
a cleaning out process in banks and houses
that have been conducted on speculative
basis or irregular business methods, and this

condition of fairs.
"The bank statement showed a larger de-
crease in reserve than was expected, but the
deposits did not show as much decrease as
was previously estimated while the leans
showed larger increase, and notwithstand-
ing the statement, the market held fairly
well at the close. 1t is a good market to

General Seymour was gallant officer in

graduated from West Point Just in time to
enter the service for the Mexican War.
There he won the Iank of Brevet Captain
