largest and most destructive fires that
ever visited the water front of Baltimore,

throughout the adjoining five buildings
The six large buildings were stocked with
H,202 bales of cotton, belonging TO the
leading cotton firms OF Baltimore, and
valued at about $S50,OO0. With the ex-

The senate.

Certificates Of election of electors for
President and Nice-President Of the
United States were presented from the
States Of Texas, North Carolina, Ala
bama, Illinois and Maine, and were or
dered TO be placed on file.
Mr. Daniel Dem, Va offered a resolu-
ton calling on the civil service commits
sioners for a succinct statement Of the
Government positions that are inside and
outside Of the civil service rules; the
methods Of application and examination;
the quota Of each State, filled and vacant,
and what positions are open TO appoint
ment outside of civil service rules, the
purpose being TO procure in compact
form information for the use OF those
desiring to enter the Government service
The resolution went over without ac-
ton.
Mr. Vests joint resolution for a COM
mission to make an agreement with the
five civilized tribes in the Indian Terri
tory for taking lands in severalty was
taken up and debated until o'clock,
when it was laid aside. Those partici-
pating in the discussion were Senators
Jones Of Arkansas, Platt Of Connecticut
and Coke of Texas.
Mr.. Teller gave notice that he would
ask action tomorrow on the Presidents
veto of the McGarrahan bill.
At =. NJ. the Anti-Option bill was
taken up and Mr. George proceeded to adj
dress the Senate in support Of 1t. He said
that there has been much discussion of the
subject since last session. and that efforts
had been made I'm various cotton markets
Of the country to depress the price of cot
ton, based on the fact that the bill was
pending.
Mr.. George cited the regulations OF the
New York Cotton Exchange TO show that
quotations were not fixed according To
the actual trading on the market but that
the price of "midding" being ascertained,
the relative prices Of ali the other grades,
thirty in number were fixed by sliding
scale. established by a revision commit
tee, which met only once month; that
quotations for "spot" sales were made
where no sales were made. and also as to
sales for future deivery-in other words,
that prices We're fixed in the New York
Cotton Exchange without reference 10
aansactions, and New York dominated
and controlled every cotton market, not
only in the United States, but sometimes
in the world.
Without finishing his argument Mr..
George yielded for a motion for an eX-
ecutive session, and soon afterwards (at
39O) the Senate adjourned till tomorrow.

not to be had, and he gave it up, and lay

boy, seeing how his comrade had Jared,
ventured to add another I, as follows: "E

set down, from the school commissioner.
"NeXt bye with no better result The

90 down in disgrace on egypt, asked the
redoubtable school commissioner to be al
lowed to see the word, as the scholars GER
tainly did not understand it, whereupon
the school commissioner showed Egypt"
