WILSON'S OVATION.

outhwaite's Proposed Resolution of
Revolution of House Rules.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-the gal
leries were crowded and the scene
was an animated one when the
House met today.
While the journal was being
read, Chairman Wilson entered the
room. His head was bound with a
white handkerchief and he was
evidently suffering great pain.
His appearance was the signal
for a great demonstration on the
Democratic side, the members
cheering wildly at sight of their
tariff leader.
AS soon as the reading of the
journal had been completed, Outh-
waite, Of Ohio, from the committee
on rules, offered resolution making
the motion in order that the House
insist upon it's disagreement to the
Senate amendments, Immediately
on the receipt of the report, debate
on the motion to be limited to two
hours, and if the motion prevail,
the speaker shall at once appoint
conferees and the matter shall then,
for the time being, pass from con-
sideration of the house.
The previous question was or
dered. This gives thirty minutes
for debate. II this motion passes,
the House will take position as in
sisting upon disagreements in bulk
and it will not be in order to move
that the committee be instructed
on sugar or any other separate
item.
WASHINGTON, July 10, 2:l2 p. m.
HOUsEl-Special-At l 30 the mo-
ton to insist on the House dis
agreement to the Senate amend
ment was adopted without divi-
sion and the bill was sent back
to the conference, the speaker APP
pointing the same conferees.

railroads shops on the Wyoming
and Idaho division Of the Union
Pacific, which were closed July I'd,
will not be opened for general re-

demand for motive power. The de-

Cleveland Helps Wilson.

WAsHINGToN. D. c., July 10
Intense interest was created by
Wilson's announcement, in the
House today, that he had a letter
from President Cleveland, which
latter had permitted to be made
public. The letter was then sent
to the desk and read, amid pro-
found silence. The letter was in
the presidents vigorous style and
was a stirring tribute to the Will
son bill and a direct blow to the
surrender to the Senate of the bill.

:, Officer: Bergin, was called out
early yesterday morning to the
open lot of a man living near the
Menges creek, east Of the city, to
arrest couple of supposed tramps
who were alarming the neighbors
by sleeping by the wayside. The
officer found his men and ques-
toned them before arresting them.
He learned they were two gentle
men who live in the city, but who,
are invalids from bronchial affec-
ton. Their physician had ordered
that they should sleep out of
doors in the country every fine
night, as il was almost
impossible for them to sleep in a
room and they had made it prac-
tice to take their blankets and
thus pass the nights in the open
air. The officer did not moles3
them and the nervous neighbors,
were Gained and surprised that
they had such fine dodgers so near,

Of gold would beyond doubt cause Sc.
rious financial trouble. The low price
of cotton is a very grave matter, and
should the decline proceed nluch fur
ther and the reduced range of values
be continued there can be no doubt that
very serious results will follow, which
will injuriously effect the interests of
the country.
"For many millions of the human
race cotton cloth is indispensable for
shirts for the living and shrouds for
the dead. The South will not yield
its control of the production Of cotton,
but the effect of the present depression
will serve to teach it anew the wisdom
OF following the advice of its best men
to give hereafter greater attention to
food crops and to make cotton sur
plus or money crop.
81 do not care to 60 into the question
Of the probable sizs of the present crop,
but l received yesterday letter from
the acting Secretary Of Agriculture
saying that after a careful Investigation
since February l Of the question Of
cotton acreage the conclusion had been
reached that the acreage Of the crop Of
1893 81 was 19, $4,000 acres. In June
the department estimated tbs acreage
of the crop of 1894 95 (aow coming in)
as six-tenths Of per ceat more than
the previous crop. This would make
the acreage of the present crop 1882
600 acres. The New York Chronicles
estimate Of this crops acreage is 20. .107..
600 acres, and some estimates are high
er. Some time ago the seatis5,clau Of
agriculture wrote to Elrops that he
was satisfied that the area uader cotton
in 1893 was somewhat over 10000 900
acres. It will be seen, therefore, that
the result of the Investigation By the
department has been to make the acre.

of present crop are about 10000 acres
