MEMPHIS. Feb. S.-Four thousand
people in Concordia and Cataraoula,
parishes in the northern portion of Louis
ana, are on the verge of starving. Infor-
nation received from that section yes
day shows that the people are in a pitt
full condition, and unless relict is given
them at once many deaths from starva-
tion will result. The floods of the last
summer destroyed their crops, and the
water remained so long that it was not
possible to plant corn or anything else
beyond some quickly maturing vegeta-
bles. Hence hundreds moved away.
Thousands, however, were unable to
leave. Those remaining have subsisted
during the winter on wild game, but
now they have nothing to keep body
and soul together.
The presidents of the different exchanges
in Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orleans
have called a meeting of the organiza-
tions to raise funds for the sufferers.

PETER free coinage amendment to the
repeal bill on the table, and thus sud-
denly precipitated his era of business.
Senator Aldrich called for the ayes and
nays. Mr.. PETER asked to be permitted
to explain the amendment, but this
privilege was denied, and the roll call
proceeded with on the vote to lay on the
table. There was considerable sparring
during the taking of the vote, and when
the result was announced, it showed
that the senate was short quorum by
two votes. This was occasioned by the
announcement of pairs, and by the
refusal OF some of the silver men pres
ent to vote. Mr.. Villas made the point
of order that when senator was pres
eDt he was compelled to vote unless eX-
cused by the senate. A roll call was
ordered, and forty-fiye senators, two
more than a quorum, answered to their
names.
A SECOND EFFORT
was then made to secure a quorum on
the amendment TO lay the pending mo-
ton upon the table.
The reorganization of the vote showed
only forty-one senators present and
voting. The result was not announced
at the time and was delayed by Villas
renewal of his point of order that sena-
tors were present who had not voted
and that the rules required them to vote
unless excused by the senate.
Senator Dubois being the first senator
on the list who had not voted, though
present, Mr.. Villas directed his remarks
to that senator. The chair asked Du
boiS to explain his refusal. This he did
by saying tina. he considered the amend
ment too important to be passed upon
without debate. He said that Mr..
PETER had even been denied the priv
lege of explaining the amendment. He
did not want to be party to such a
proceeding.
On a motion to excuse Mr.. Dubois,
the ayes and rays were called and the
vote resulted q ayes and 90 nays.
Mr.. Dubois name was then called and
notwithstanding the vote of the senate.
he did not respond to the roll call. Here
followed discussion as to whether
Senator Dubois could be compelled to
vote, in which some techanical parlia-
mentary questions were involved, but
the point was quickly dropped. Mr..
Dubois sat in his seat all the time, but
his name did not appear in the list of
voters when announced, as did not the
names of the several other senators on
the silver side who were present all the
day. While this discussion was in pro-
gress the hands ON the
OLD SENATE CLOCK
were moving on, and the hour of 9
o'clock saw several senators present,
who had not been in the chamber for
