GOVERNMENT AiH GIVEN.
Department of War and Navy to DO All
They Can For the Sufferers

They Can For the Sufferers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 -Active steps
were taken this morning by Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, in the direc
ton of affording as much relief as posi-
Bile for the stricken people of his State.
Brawley, member of Congress from
South Caro.in called upon the Score
tarY of War, but was unable to see him,
but Mr. Butler was more fortunate.
The Secretary said he had NJ power
without an act of Congress authorizing
him so to do. to issue provisions, but
said he would gladly loan all the tents
the department had that could be of
any service. The nearest military post
is at Atlanta and Mr.. Butler at once
autographed to Verill, recorder of Port
Royal R. R., to know how many were
needed so the department could issue
an order for their transportation as
speedily as possible.
Butler called on the Secretary of the
Navy and urged him to do what he could
in the way OF relief. The Secretary
said there had been great deal OF
debris thrown upon and about the Port
Royal dock, although the dock itself
had sustained but little damage.
large force OF men would be needed,
however, he said, to remove this and
put the dock in order, and Butler was
assured that an order would be promptly
issued to the commandant in charge to
give work to as many people as possible

the means whereby they could help

Settling Down For the Wintar

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The cooler
weathef and the certainty made clear
by Senator Cockrell's aggressive tactics
yesterday that there is to be long
fight in the Senate on the silver bill,
are having their effect upon the Con-
gressmen, and they are beginning to
settle down for the winter Up to to-day
most OF the new Congressmens, and
many of the older Representatives have
given their temporary addresses at one
or other OF the hotels. Now they are
looking about for houses and private
apartments and are bringing on their
families for the season, all OF which is
significant that no adjournment of the
extra session, and possibly only brief
recess, can be looked for.

After waiting in the city two days for
q game OF ball, the weather cleared up
yesterday and allowed the Changers to
play two games with the R. A. c. team,
in which honors were even. In the first
game the homo team played like lot
OF school boys, making eleven errors,
Riley leading with Ave. Collihower,
outside of the second inning, pitched a
very strong game, but in this inning
four hits, with the aid OF several errors,
allowed the Stauntons to score Ave runs,
three Of which were earned. They
scored two more in the fourth on two
hits. sacrifice and an error by Riley.
After this they were unable to connect
with the ball, not making single safe
hit.
On the other hand Kissinger had the
home team completely at his mercy,
they making only Ave hits and Meade
getting three of these. In the seventh
inning they scored two runs on
hit by Collihower. sacrifice
by O'Hagan and passed ball.
These were all the runs they
scored during the entire nine in
nings. Wigmore, O'Hagan, McGinniss
and Boyd played their usual good game,
McGinniss, particularly playing a brill
liant game. Meade led at the batting

best batting for the visitors.
The fielding of Elsey, Johnson and

were the features of the Stanton's play.

Daniel in the points for the R. A. C.
boys and Fry in the box for the Grang-
ers. Boyd pitched mastery game,
only allowing one hit and striking out

safe hit was made off him and had he
received any kind of support in the
field the visitors would have been shut
out AS it was they scored two in the
first on base on balls, a sacrifice,

Wigmore made two base hit and stole

WASHINGTON, Sept, 2.-The Senate
has rejected the nomination OF Henry
c. Stuart, of Denver, COL, to be secre-
tary OF legation in Guatemala and Hon
duras and consul general to Guatemala.
Stuart was appointed during the recess
and nominated August 16 last to the
Senate. He succeeded Samuel Kim
berly, recalled.
There was no Senators prepared or
inclined to proceed to-day with the dis
cussion of the bill to repeal tho Sher-
man act, and that bill was informally
laid aside.
Before that was done, however, some
rather pointed remarks were made by
the chairman Of the finance committee
indicating his determination to press
forward all next week with the real
and earnest purpose Of bringing the
Senate to final vote on the bill with
as little delay as is consistent with full
and free discussion.
voorhees, slso gave notice after a sug-
gestion by Hale that he would ask the
Senate ON Monday to fix daily hour of
meeting att q. M, instead OF at noon
and III connection with the notice he
stated rather significantly that he
was possessed of an old fashioned idea
as to the right Of q majority to exercise
control in legislative matters.
Having thus disposed of the silver
bill, the Senate devoted the remainde-
OF the time to discussion on Dolph's
bill appropriatiug $500, 600 for the exc
cution of the Chinese exclusion act.
The bill was finally referred to the
committee on foreign relations.
The Senate adjourned at p. M, after
short executive session.
IN THE HOUSE.
The rules which will govern tho
House during the present Congress
again commanded the attention of the
House to-day, or rather that portion of
its members that saw fiji TO be present,
for at no time was more than quorum
in attendance, and on some propositions
an exact quorum voted.
The principal hinge upon which the
contest turhed was tho proposition TO
make quorum in the committee of the
whole 100 members and Catchings and.
Outhwaite, who are members OF the
committee on rules and who are cham
pions OF the measure, were twitted with
their want OF consistency, as they were
two OF it's most ardent enemies when it
was first proposed in the Fifty-frst Con-
gress.
They defended themselves on the
plea that they had had four more years
of experience since that time, and now
saw the utility of the rule.
Without disposing of the question
land after having agreed to the Senate
amendments to the urgent deficiency
appropriating billy the House at $3.50
! adjourned till Wednesday.

South Carolina, asked leave to intro
