doing in the stock market to-day, The under
tone was strong. the efforts to create uneasi-
ness regarding the portion of banks in the
event OF revival of gold shipments being of
set by the more favorable trade reports, and
the decision of the ways and means commit
tee not to tackle the income matter on the
tarin bill This was considered as meaning
an early decisioa, so far as the Wilson bill is
concerned. The further accumulation of
money at this centre was another point in IA

refusal OF the general term of the supreme

tracts early IN the week. The general market
first advanced a to q per cent then lost most
of this gain, but in the final, transactions was

BLOODSHED on THE MOON.
WatteTSOn in Atlanta to Wipe Up the
Earth With Moran.

The Jonesboro Colonel as Big and as
Strong as Giant and a Stranger to
Fear-He and Secretary Hoke Smith
Once INDUCED in a Fight That
Would Have Done Credit to the
Arene-Mutual Friends Trying to
Keep the Belligerents Apart.
Atlanta, Ga, July 16.-The trouble be-
tween Editor P. J. Moran of the Constitu-
tion, and Col. w. L. Watterson of Jones'
boro is still unsettled, and friends of both
parties who have been trying to effect a
settlement all day, fear that the result
viii be serious. Col Watterson came to
Atlanta this morning to have it out with
Mr.. Moran, but friends prevented them
from coming together Mr.. Moran was
at his Office as usual, and had nothing to
say about the trouble, but is quietly de-
termined. Col Watterson is a man with
a record for daring and recklessness
If the two men meet there
is sure TO be a serious ending to their
newspaper attacks on each other.
Saturday, after the appearance of Col
Watterson's card, in which he gave Mr.
Moran the lie, the latter called him up at
the telephone, and in the language of the
street, cursed him out" Then followed
Mr.. Moran's card of Sunday, in which he
called Col. Watterson liar and a black
guard.
This was the condition of affairs when
Col Watterson arrived in Atlanta this
morning.
wATTERsON WRITES A SECOND CARD.
The interference of friends prevented
an immediate meeting, but did not pre-
vent Col. .Watterson from publishing an
other card in the Journal this afternoon.
In this second card he says he thought
his first card would have been sufficient,
as is usual among men who claim to be
decently respectable. But it seemed that
he was mistaken in the creature. -
Then, referring to Mr.. Moran's card of
Sunday, he says that the publication of
that card only brands him as an infamous,
cOwardly liar and puppy, and he de-
nOunces him as SUCH and will treat him
in future as he would a dirty dog" Col
Watterson is reported to be the kind of
man who enjoys fight. Some
years ago ne and Secretary
Hoke Smith had fight at
JOnesbOro over law case. Col Waiter
son is a giant in strength and size, equal
10 the big Secretary of the Interior, and
the encounter between them is said to
have been scene worthy of the arena.
At another time Col Watterson cleaned
up half dozen Atlanta policemen who
undertook to interfere with him when he
thought his rights were being imposed
upon. His friends say he is absolutely a
stranger to the feeling of fear, and is
reckless and daring besides. His griev-
ance is that Mr.. Moran quoted him
against his expressed wish, and put him
in false position on the pendin G congress
siOnal contest between Col. Livingston
and Col Gambler.

TREASURY FINANCES.
Large Receipts From Internal Rev.
enue Improve Them,

Large Receipts From Internal Rev
enue Improve Them.
Washington, July 16.-Treasury finances
show an improved condition, due solely to
large receipts from internal revenue,
which have reached for the half month
of July Sl5, O00,O 600, out of total of 500
100000 The expenditures for the same
period aggregate SIS, 900.
This places the treasury in a compare
lively easy position, with available cur
rency at large centers for delivery with
out having to transfer it from point to
pointrto meet prospective drafts
The receipts up to date indicate total
for the month of S35. 000, 900, while the ex-
penditures will probably fall below $780,
0000O0, the larger part of the pension
payment having already been made for
the month.
Customs dues still run at a very low
figure, and internal revenue receipts are
not expected TO continue to flow in at the
same rate, as much of the spirits in bond
have already been taken out in anticipa-
tion of the increased tax on whisky.
When the tariff bill passes the internal
receipts will, of course decline materi-
ally, but the customs receipts are ex-
pccted to respond to the changes in the
tariff bill, and resume their normal vol

priation Bills.
Washington, July 16.-After the trans
action of some routine morning business
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill was passed after the
longest and stormiest passage which any
of the appropriation bills have yet en-
countered in the Senate, and the District
of Columbia appropriation bill was taken
up. 1t took very short time to pass this
bill without material changes.
The conference report on the military
academy appropriation bill was presented
by Mr.. Brice, and agreed to.
The House anti-option bill was, on
motion of MIR. Washburn, rep, of Min
nesota taken from the table and referred
to the committee on agriculture.
The appropriation bill for the depart
ment Of agriculture was then taken up
for action.
A Senate amendment reducing the ap-
preparation for clerical services in the de-
partment of agriculture from $40, $50 to
$4,000, provoked a discussion, in the
course Of which Mr.. Dolph proposed the
novel idea of giving out the clerical work
of all the departments to contractors Just
as naval construction is given out, and
Mr. Harris favored the abolition of the
civil service and the civil service commits
sion.
Finally the amendment was agreed to,
and the'bill was reported to the Senate,
but not passed.
After a short executive session the Sen
ate at Cos O'Clock adjourned until to-mor-

quorum was not obtained, and on motion
of Mr.. Bailey call of the House was or
dered. Two hundred and seven mem Oers

their names and proceedings under the
call were dispensed with.
Mr.. Rays amendment was defeated,
and the yeas and nays were demanded on
the question of engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
After this call had been completed, and
before the announcement Of the vote, the
clerk read the names of those noted as
present and not voting Among them
was that of Mr.. Gear, rep, of Iowa
Mr.. Ray, one of the tellers, said that so
far as Mr.. Gear was concerned he had to
say that he was not within the range of
his (Mr. Rays vision until after the roll
call had been completed.
Mr. Bailey, the other teller, insisted
that Mr.. Gear was present, and that he
(Mr. Gear would not deny it.
Some further exchange of Numerically
diverse opinions as to the matter took place
between Messrs. Bailey and Ray when
the controversy was ended by the speaker
pro TEN (Mr. Dockery) declaring that
under the rule the tellers must agree, and
as they did not do so as to Mr. Gear, that
name would be stricken from the list
The third reading and engrossment of
the bill were ordered by a voteof 120 ayes
to 50 nays, one answering present and
four noted as present and not voting
The opposition TO the bill died hard,
and, although il was then half an hour
past the usual hour of adjournment, the
yeas and nays were demanded on the
passage of the bill.
The vote resulted-yeas 116, NAYS 81;
present and not voting 3.
The quorum had disappeared and Mr..
Bailey stating that he was satisfied that
at that hour one could not be obtained,
moved that the House adjourn. This
was agreed to, and at 500 o'clock the
House adjourned until tomorrow at u

Albany, Ca, July 16-The primary
election in this county tomorrow for
