prospect That the Debate Upon 1t May BE
Terminated Speedily.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-There is some
prospect this afternoon that the almost
,uterrniuable debate on the anti-option
bin may be brought TO speedy and unex-
pected end. The large majority IN favor
of consideration of the bill disclosed
whenever the formal motion has been
made 20 take it up greatly discouraged the
opponents of the measure, and they were
Obliged TO fall back upon the last resort of
a threatened minority IN the Senate-a
talk AGAINST time, hoping to protract the
debate and prevent action upon the bill
until final adjournment.
But certain elements have been az work
i'm direction favorable TO the opposition.
Mr. Whites speech, unlike the majority of
set sueeches. undoubtedly made some con-
vorts 10 his slde Of the controversy, and
the numerous remoustrances that have
been pouring IN from the leading CONNER
cial and financial bodies IN the United
states have also had their effect. Further
aid 10 the opposition has come from tho
extremely warm weather, which has made
tho temperature in the Senate chamber al
most unbearable and has weakened the
purpo.e OF the senators who were resolvsl
10 have vote on the anti-optlOn bill re
fore they left Washington for the am
To.dav II was suddenly announced by
some Of the opponents o. the bill that the
senator above referred to would secure
the opuortunitv they wished for, and right
snpedilv. too. This announcement was
soon followed by the proposition to the
Senate from Mr. Wolcott 70 refer the bill
10 the Finance Committee. Among tie
considerations urged 10 favor of reference
are the following: The original bill was
certainly a revenue bill, and its revenue
features had never been passed upon by
line Finance Committee. Amendments
nave also been added 70 the original bill
in such numbers and of such scope that
frw senators are prepared - assert
that they understand exactly what the
bill IN its present shape means. This TACT,
II is urped. gives reason for the reference
OF the bill to the Finance Committee in or
dor tnat an authoritative declaration may
he had As 10 ITS probable effect upon the
6uances of the country. Using these and
other arguments the opponents OF the
auti.option bill have been making inroads
upon the strength of the measure, ana
t6is afternoon il was asserted that when
tho vote is taken upon MIR. Wolcotts mo-
ton II will prevail: but If il should not
the opDopepts OF the bill will have lost no
0round; they will be Just where they
now are-in a position to talk against time
10 defer action ON the bill until next ses-
sion. ~
Mir. Wolcott fully expects that Mr.. Alli-
son will tomorrow rencw the motion ne
made but Withdrew to-day to lay the mo-
tiou to refer the bill on the table, and that
will bring the matter TO head lmmedi-
ately ana test tho strength of tho opposi-
tlon TO the plll.

ATTACK ON COOPER.

ATTACK ON COOPER,
Mr.. Lind, of Minnesota. in opposing the
resolution. turned his attention chiefly TO
Representative Cooper, OF Indiana, and the
part Cooper bore In tho investigation.
Mr. EnlOe, one Of the authors OF the in
vesticating resolution, spoke in favor of
the report.
The debate, which was very unin-
tercsting one. was interrupted at this time
by Mr. Sayers, who submitted disagree
ing report on the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill. and the report was agreed
10.
sir. Holman then moved that the House
reccde from its amendment granting TO
the widows or legal representatives Of de-
ceased members the balance of the salary
which such members would have received.
Mr.. HAYES, Of Iowa, moved TO lay the
motion on the table. Lost--yeas. SO nays,

lhen Mr.. HAYES moved o reconsidera-
tiOn. and pending that, moved an adjourn
mont, pending which Mr. Enloe moved q
recess until tomorrow at 1890. his object
being to keep tho legislative day in exist
ance. No quorum yOting-yeas, 2; nays,
l1s. Mr. Sayers moved a call of the House
and Il was agreed TO.
Tne call OF the House was dispensed with
an1 the House adjourned.
The report of the Raum Investigating
Committee will have no special standing
before the House until the Committee on
Rules reports another resolution setting
aside day for its consideration.
The wORLD's-PAIR MATTER.
Mr.. Holm0n's motion is regarded by the
friends of the WOrld's-Fair amendment TO
the sundry civil Appropriation bill as the
beginning OF an attack all along the line
against the S5,0y0,C0J appropriation. They
are indignant and declare that If the ap-
preparation is flibus;ered against thoy
will resort to thesamo methods of legislation
and use every parliamentary means known
10 the rules Of the House 10 prevent action
on any JOINT resolution further extending
the appropriations for the support of the
government. Then if the deficiency and
sundry civil bills fail they say Mr. Holman
and his followers will be responsible.

COLONEL MARYE ANSWERED HIM.
What the Negro Pays Towards His Own
Education.

Recently Colonel Morton Marye received
a letter from j. Garland Penn asking III
behalf of the American Association of Ed
ucation of Colored Youth information on
these points /. On how much real and
personal property Is the negro assessed In
the State2 2. How much money was an
propriated in 1891 for the maintenance of
negro public schOolsy The object of these
questions was 10 find out what the negro
race is doing towards its own education.
Colonel Marye has answered the letter in
an elaborate communication, and taxing
1891 as a basis gives, among other hGures,
the following striking ones
Annual am'nt received

In the item Of receipts from taxation
about $50, 900 is from capitatlon tax. In
the item of appropriations Tor puOiIc
schools IL not included $4,000 appropri-
ated TO the Normal and Collegiate lnsti-
tute AT Petersburg. The first three items
show tnat the negroes receive annually
from tine Commonwealth SiO9, $3.50 more
than they pay into her Treasury.
THE WHITE COLUMN.

These three items snow balance IN
favor of the whites of 81, 1872 ,3O6.1 ii, and
the whole exhibit demonstrates that the
negro in reality pays nothing towards ms
education IN this State. His SlO3o5
contributed in taxes is more than eaten up
by what he costs in criminal expenses. and
the whites paw the deficit in that item, the
cost of his education, the cost OF caring
for his insane, the expenses OF their own
public schools and asylums, the expenses
of running the government, ana the ih-
terest on the public debt.

PIrrsBurS, July 25.--Bergman talks oc-
cssionally and shows considerable interest
in learning how his act in shooting Chair
man Frick is regarded by the people
generally. When he heard that Mr.. Frick
was doing we'll aud would probably re-
cover he said no was sorry. He told the
warden of the Jail that he was born in st.
Petersburg and was educated at the Gym
nasium. one of the leading colleges of
st. Petersburg. He was satisfied that be
had many sympathizers. Heknew that his
life would paw the penalty If Frick should
die, and that # Frick lives he (Bergman)
will have long term of imprisonment.
He looked that all up before he started on
his enterprise and Is willing to stand the
consequences no matter what they are.
He said he had no confederates and want
ed all the credit that belongs to him. lie
speaks four languages The jail officials
express the opinion that Bergman IS not
crazy. He asked to see the newspapers
TO-DAY, but his wish has not as yet been
gratitied.
MYSTERIOUS TRAIN.
In regard to the general situation of af-
fairs TO-DAY everything seems quiet, but fast
mail express No. 7. west-bound. on the
ItuusNlNhu4h IOdNl, u .toP tuho
ing at a station not indicated on Its sched-
ules. This train does not carry passen-
gers. but this morning there were two
mysterious-looking dsy-coaches at.
tached to 1t. The blinds OF
the windows of these coaches were
drawn closely, and the doors at both ends
of the coaches were securely locked. As
the train neared Swlssyille station, near
the encampment of the provisional 6ri-
gade, the train came TO a standstill. The
day coaches were shifted 10 siding In
front of the station and then the tram
passed on to the city.
MRS FOR THE MILLS.
After the train had gone the doors Of the
cars were unlocked aud a number of men,
nearly 400 in all, allghted. IL was whis-
pered among the spectators at once that
the men were non-union workmen bound
for the Carnegie Steel-Mills at Homestead.
The surmlso proved TO be correct. as the
entire body marched down the road to-
ward the camp IT the Fourteenth Regiment.
The steamer Little Bill was moored at
the landing near the Clty-Farm Station,
apparently waiting 20 carry the men over
the river. The men are from Phlladel-
phia. New York. and Boston. and many
are said to be skilled IRON and steel
workers.
A man was arrested TO-DAY whom the
officers assert to be Bergman's companion,
but great reticence is observed concerning
him.
O'Donnell was released on bail this
afternoon.
