the details Of the work done by the Chi.
cago directory; stating that Chicago had
done her duty in subscribing $40 900, 900,
providing a site for the fair and doing
everything possible to advance the work
and make a success of the mammoth dis
play of the handiwork of the fifty-nine
foreign nations which have already sig
nitied their intention to participate.
The report further states that the
whole matter now rests with congress.
Eight millions of dollars are necessary
to complete the work The board
guarantees that Chicago will subscribe,
if necessary, $3,000,000 of this amount
and congress ought tomake an appropria-
ton to cover the balance. 1t has been
suggested, the report says, that an appro-
priation by the government to secure
the completion and preparation of the
buildings in time for the opening
ceremonies should be in the form of a
loan to our corporation.
"Your committee believes that an APP
preparation by way of loan would not be
in accordance or in harmony with the
spirit of the law under which we have
prosecuted, to the present time, all work
connected with the exposition. We be-
lieve that such legislation would do vio-
lence to the theory of the relationship of
the government to the exposition; that
in effect it would be notice to the world
that after all nations had been invited to
cooperate in this international and
internal exposition as the honored
guests of our nation, congress has re-
fused all aid, all responsibility in the
matter, except as mere lender of
money with ample security and priority
of lien W. do not believe that the rep
resentatives of the people will subject
the government to this Humiliation"
After general remarks ON the subject
by Director General Davis and Director
Walker, the special committee on legis-
lation was continued in office with
power to act

Of private conversation almost drowned

When the journal was approved Mr..
Geary, of California. presented the con-
ference report ON the Chinese bill, and
demanded the previous question.
Mr.. Hooker, Democrat, of Mississippi,
desired to know if debate was in order.
The speaker said that fifteen minutes on
each side was allowable.
Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, opposed the re-
port. The agreement of the oonferees
was more satisfactory than the house
bill, but openly violated faith, and was
rupture OF our relations with China.
1t compelled every Chinaman to go
and get ticket Of leave Never before
in the history of civilized countries was
any such system enforced, except in the
days Of slavery This treatment was
outrageous aud a blot on our name as a
nation Of free people. He condemned
this kind Of antielection legislation.

Mr., Hooker, Democrat, of Mississippi
in opposing the report said there never
was a time when the writ of habeas
corpus was denied as in this bill. BY it
the judge was allowed to imprison the
party and deny bail, The Democratic
party was welcome to all the glory they
could get by the passage of such a meas
ure. For himself he desired to record
his vote against it. 1t was direct vio-
lation of the treaty of 1880.
Mr.. Geary, of California, who pre-
sented the report, said there was
nothing in the act which suspended the
writ Of habcas corpus, nor did it deny
the right of bail The bill simply said
the judge should not take bail in the
first instance. The bill attempted to
stop leaks in the existing laws and left
the final settlement of the question to
future congresses.
Mr.. Hooker demanded the yeas and

CHARLESTON, May 5.-The News and
Courier publishes special reports from
every county in South Carolina in re-
gard to the reduction of cotton acreage.
The reports show that in all sections of
the state there has been a considerable
reduction in the acreage planted in cot
ton. In some sections it will not amount

il is as high as 80 per cent. and in some
instances extensive farmers have not
planted a single cotton seed. Bread
crops take cotton's place.

turned to the jail his clothing was taken
from him and he was compelled to don

He was then placed in the condemned

that he would kill himself if the oppor-

kept upon hun in order that he can not

his fate, and after n short conversation
with the warders detailed to watch him
he threw himself upon the pallet in his
cell and slept calmly until Tuesday
morning. Much interest is manifested
in the biography that Deeming is writ
ing and upon which he has spent much
OF his time sincohe was imprisoned. 1t
is believed that the mans oyerweening
vanity will impcl him to confess in this
work all the crimes he has ever com

succeed in putting off hiseXecution for a

NOT A MONUMENT CONGRESS.
Even John Paul Jones Can Not Get an
Appropriation.

Appropriation.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Among the
bills recently introduced in the house is
one by Mr. Cummings, of New York, to
erect $4,000 monument to John Paul
Jones in Washington. This is not a
monument congress, so the bill is not
likely to become a law, but it is inter
esting because of the preamble which
gives as special reason why Jones
should be remembered that his was the
first ship to fly the star and stripes, On
the 14th day of June, 1777, the Cont
nently congress- in session at Philadel-
phia, resolved that the flag of the
United States "be thirteen stripes, alter
nate red and white; that the union be
thirteen stars, white, in a blue field,
representing the new constellation;
that flag of the United States was first
hoisted on the sloop-of-war Ranger by
Captain Paul Jones, of heroic memory;
and the Ranger was the first ship to
carry the stars and stripes to the shores
of Europe, and the first vessel to join
battle and win victory under the stars
and stripes in the capture of his majesty's
ship, Drake, in the waters of Great
Britain, April "a. 177S.
