IN THE SENATE.

A Bill for a Settlement of the Ac-
counts With Florida.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-In the Senate to-
day among other bills reported and placed
on the calendar were the following:
For settlement of the accounts between
the general government and the state of
Florida.
To amend the act relating to. those who
participated in the civil war and have since
enlisted in the army or navy and become
disabled
MONEY FOR DAVIDSON.
Mr.. Vance offered resolution, which was
referred to the committee on contingent ex-
penses, to pay s.. 200 to Mr.. Davidson, the
contestant for Mr.. Calls seat in the Senate.
The joint resolution as to the payment to
the state of West Virginia of her proportion
OF the direct tax was again taken up in the
morning hour. When Mr. FRYE called at
tention to the disregard Of the rule limit
ing the debate 70 five minutes, and said
that, knowing the capacity for debateIot the
senators from the two Virg lnias, Messrs.
Daniel and Faulkner, the discussion would
be apt to occupy the morning hour for the
remainder of the session, he therefore gave
notice that he would object to its continua-
ton after to-day. The discussion was in
terrupted at 2 O'Clock, when the printing
bill came up as the unfinished business. Mr.
Faulkner made an effort to have the West
Virginia bill made the special order after
the printing bill, but Mr.. Paddock objected
strenuousiy as the pure food bill occupied
that position. The West Virginia bill went
over without action.
THE PRINTING BILL
The bill providing for the public printing
and binding and the distribution OF the
public documents was then taken up as the
unfinished business. The clause authorizing
the franking of official matter gave rise to
some difficulty as to the correct phraseology
TO be adopted, and various suggestions were
made. Finally it was fixed in thess words ::
THE Vice President. members and mem
bers> elect Of, delegates aud delegates elect
to congress shall have the privilege of send .
ing free, through the mail matter to anv
government official" An amendment. Of
fered by Mr.. Dawes, to strike out the words
ITO any government official" was rejected
without discussion.
At 4:45 o'clock the consideration Of the
bill, so far as the committee amendments
were concerned, was concluded. The bill
was still open, however, to general amend
ments.
Mr.. Coke moved en- amendment to iu-
crease the extra copies of the agricultural
report from 800 900, as proposed in the bill i,
to 100000. Without action on the amend
ment the bill went over till tomorrow.
MIR. German presented the credentials of
his colleague. Mr.. Gibson. When they
were read, the two Maryland senator's
stepped to the clerks desk and the oath of
office was administered to Mr.. Gibson by
the Vice President
After brief executive session, the Sem
ate, at 5:l5 o'clock, adjourned.

ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 10.-After escaping
the penalty of his crime for thirteen years
Alfred Clark was arrested In Admission yes
terday and lodged in the Jail here this
morning. He is charged with the murder

The time Of the tragedy was in the employ

GAMBLING IN GRAIN.
4 Merchant of St Louis Backs the
Auti-OptiOns Bills.

a Merchant of St Louis Backs the
Anti-OptiOns Bills.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Mr. Forbes OF
the Duluth Board Of Trade appeared before
the House committee on agriculture to-day
with an argument against the passage of
the proposed anti-options bills. He argued
upon the same line taken by the other
north western grain men who have hereto
fore been heard against the options bills.
Mr.. Howard, a merchant OF st. Louis,
favored the bill, declaring that dealing In
futures was the most subtle kind OF gam
bling that had ever emAnated from the brain
OF man. IL was the greatest curse that had
ever struck the great nation Of America
The hog products Of the United States for
the past ten years had not paid the cost Of
the hog, and yet the hog packers Of Chicago
had become millionaires. They had become
so by gambling in futures. The grain ring
was the strongest ring in existence in the
country. and was impOverishing the nation.
ovERsHADows ALL OTHER QUESTIONS.
This question rose above the question Of
politics or religion, for any politics or re-
ligion which permitted the poor man 70 be
deprived Of the fruit of bis toll did not
deserve to be sustained. He did not want TO
cripple commerce IN any way; he desired 20
prevent gambling. II be sold man 1000
bushels OF wheat he wanted it 70 be wheat
and not l 900 bushels Of wind. If this vilest
system Of gambling was not put stop TO It
would lead to revolution. There was no
difference between a board Of trade and
a bucket shop, except that one sold a
bushelful and the other a buckettul. The
bucket shop was only an offshoot Of the
board Of trade. Throughout the country
there were bank failures and defalcations,
and nine-tenths OF the money stolen went
into this pot of futures
When Mr.. Howard had concluded the
committee adjourned.

FRUIT AT FORT VALLEY.
Buds on the Trees Remain Longer Dor
msnt Than Usual.


FoRT VALLEY, Feb. I0.-The uniform
and continued cold weather this winter has
caused the buds in all the trees in this sec
ton 70 remain dormant longer than for
several winters past Even at this time
buds show very little. If any, life. This
status Of things causes the fruit men of this,
the largest fruit section in the south, TO in-
dulgs in many bright antIcipations Of a
peach crop TO equal the one of 1889 In every
respect. The orchards were never in as
good condition TO produce and mature a
large crop as they are at this time, and
great preparations are being made to handle
the crop.
Farmers, as a general thing, are unde-
cided as to what kind of a crop TO plant this
year. and the breaking of land broadcast"
Is universal, which the farmers say is
because they do not know whether they
be waiting for something to turn up that
will decide them. Very few have made
decision yet, and where they have they will
plant much less acreage in cotton.
One thing all good farmers have done in
this section Is to plant much larger oat
crops than usual. People from other states
as well as Georgia continue to invest in
fruit and farming lands around this place.
In the past eleven months something over
$4,000 mas been paid out here for lands. to
say nothing Of the amount spent in inn
prOvements on these lands.
This expenditure in some degree causes
less stringeLcy IN money matters here than
ele where In Georgia. People live in ex-
pectation Of other investments and the wall
of hard times" is heard from no source ex-
cept chronic croakers and mossbackers.
This whole section is about evenly divided
as to Cleveland and Hill for the presidency.
In fact there is very talk on this question
by any one. County politics heretofore was
lively at this time, but now they are in a
deep state Of letharRy, on account Of which
the people are in better condition and are
attending To work

of many other books and of one IA

used to delight, SO the story goes at
Cambridge, to catch mice with his fin
