OWENS SARCASM.

The Hon. W. c. Owens, who is G. can.
didate for the seat now held by Hon.
w. c. P. Breckenridge, and who fsin
would seek nomination, is indulqinp
In some very sarcastic utterances at the
expense Of the colonel, but which are
very applicable to the pending issue.
Here are some extracts from his speech
made in Georgetown, Ky, the other
night:
That 1 may be elected it is unneces-
sary that you destroy the respect the
people OF the country have in common
with those of :hc Ashland district, for
tue courts OF justice Of this land. /. is
not necessary tor you TO believe. in order
to elect me, that these courts have been
converted into instruments Of injustice,
nor do l want you to believe that every
newspaper man in the country is base
liar.
To elect me, 1t Is not necessary to
charge that more than one-half of our
Democratic friends and the good women
of our district have become slapdersrs.
To elect me, it Is not necessary to tear
the vestments from the sacred altar and
proclaim that the ministers of the holv
religion have abandoned their high cali
ing and and entered into league with
the devil to destroy the Lords anointed
Tremendous applause and uproar.)
Mr.. Owens Is hitting the nail on the
head. and his SUCCESS is TO be conf

LAST NIGHTS POLITICAL MEETINGS.
Democrats do Not Come Tosether-Re-
publican Meeting.

Democrats do Not Come Toxether-Re-
publican Meeting.
The rain last night interfered ma
terially with the political meetings
that were to have been held. The
Democrats had contemplated holding o
meeting near the West End round
house, but abandoned the idea on &C
count OF the weather. They have also
decided not to hold meetings in the
different wards tonight as was at first
contemplated.
4. Randolph Hicks, chairman of the
Democratic executive committee, has
written to o number of prominent Dem
ocratS away from here and If he can
secure one of them to speak the Dem
ocrsts will hold q general meeting. II
none OF these speakers can be secured
the probability Is that no meetings
will be held.
The Republicans were moro fortunate
In their meetings. In the Fourth ward,
over Martins store on Tazewell street,
COL j. Hampton Hoge and some of the
candidates on the Republican ticket,
addressed an enthusiastic audience.
Colonel Hermanns, of Montgomery
county, was also present and addressed
the meeting.
meeting was also held at the old
Opera House, which was attended by
both Democrats and Republicans. q.
A. ellis, the Republican candidate for
Council in the Fourth ward, delivered
an address, as did also G. A. Pilsbury.
About eighty voters were present, and
they paid close attention to the re-
marks Of both speakers.
The Republicans will close their am
paign to -night with a grand rally at
the old Opsra House. Col. j. Hampton
Hoge will speak, as will also the various
candidates. An effort Is being made to
induce ex-Speaker Of the House of
Representatives Thos B. Reed to come

SOUTHERN pnEsBYTERrANs.
A Resolution Relative to the Breohin-
ridge Case Adopted.


NASHVILLE, May 2s.-At to-day's
session OF the assembly OF the Southern
Presbyterian Church the executive COM
mittee on colored evangelisation made
their report The report reaff1rms that
the establishment and maintenance of q
separate African church assures the
most successful measure of salvation OF
the negroes. It urges liberal support of
this work and asks that $4,000 be
raised for this purpose. The report
will be considered tomorrow.
Judge Lapsley presented report on
the resolution offered by Rev. DIR.
Woods, Of Baltimore, Md, yesterday
inridge case. The committee had
amended the report aud brought back
with the recommendation that it be
adopted.
AS returned the resolution says:
THAT as the supreme judiciary of our
church it would manifestly be highly
improper for the assembly to express
an opinion on q case which is before q
low court"
The resolution closes by saying that
the assembly does now, as 1t always has
done, desire and intend in all orderly
ways to promote, maintain and require
in Its people the personal purity which
Is the common foundation of the home,
the church and the State" The resolu-
ton was adopted.
The committee on organization hav-
Ing last night submitted report rec
ommending that the assembly decline
to open the question on organic union,
the report will likely be discussed to,
gether with majority report signed by
the Rev. G e. Campbell, who favors
union.

The Repu blicans in the Senate have
made futile bid for the support OF
Southern Senators by the proposed
amendment increasing the duty on iron
ore from 40 cents to 60 cents per ton.
The members were upon their guard
and the proposition was tabled. As q
matter of fact it has been shown that a
reduction from the present rate to the
figure agreed upon 40 cents) is just
what is desired and what is needed to
stimulate the iron ore business in
this section OF the South. With
the duty at 40 cents per ton,
1t will admit of the importation
of just such ores as are needed to mix
with the home article to form superior
quality Of pig iron. 1t sccelerates the
industry of pig iron production in this
country, and, at the same time, pro-
vides market for the homo product,
which otherwise would not be secured.
The duty is sufficiently high to allow
competition, and yet secure for the iron
ore miners sufficient profit for their
product. q Under the circumstances 1t
was no wonder that the Southern SEN
ators would not give the Republicans
amendment any OF their support.

the Deputies.
PARIS, May s2.-There was great ex-
element in the chamber OF deputies
when Deputy Guesde introduced the
miners eight hour bill and demanded

SENT BACK.
The Senate Tariff Bni Returned to the
Conference without Instruction.

COnItTouNc Wlbnuub hnotFucttous
WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The senate
at 8 o'clock Friday afternoon, after a
week of speeches, agreed to the fur
ther conference on the tariff bill asked
by the house of representatives The
test of strength came on Senator
Washburn's motion that the sem
ate recede from that portion of
the sugar amendment placing
a differential of one-eighth of a cent
on sugars above No. 10 Dutch stand
ard. After an hour and half of de-
bate on the pending points of order
| the president pro tenn, Senator Harris,
who was in the chair in the absence of
| Vice President Stevenson, sus-
tanned the point of order and
ruled the motion out. The de-
cision was Immediately appealed from
and a motion made to lay the latter
motion on the table. Both motions
resulted in tie vote, Senator Hill and
the populists acting with the repub-
licans in the effort to get direct vote
of the senate on Senator Washburn's s
motion. Intense excitement prevailed,
owing to the closeness of the vote. In
case of tie the motion is lost accord
ing to parliamentary law.
The failure to sustain the chair on
the appeal brought the senate to the
direct vote on the Washburn motion.
Upon the result hinged, perhaps, the
fate of the measure. But, though the
republicans scored the victory in Sc
| curing the vote on the one-eighth
differential, it developed that
they had no reserve strength and
the vote on the Washburn motion
also resulted in a tie, and conse-
Quently was lost. All the democrats
save Senators Hill and Irby, who were
paired in favor of striking out the one
eighth differential, stood by the caucus
agreement and voted against the mo.
ton. The republicans presented a
solid front. The three populists acted
throughout with the republicans.
After these votes no attempt was
made to delay matters, and the resolu
ton to agree to further conference
was agreed to without division. The
chair then appointed the conferrees
Senators Voorhees,, Jones, Vest
Harris, Sherman, Allison and Aldrich
and the senate, after transacting 9
little routine business. adjourned till
Monday.
The general impression about the
senate is that the conference now
agreed on will not be so prolonged a:
the former one. Senator's are of the
opinion that the committee either viii
agree on report within two or three
days after the sittings begin OIL
within that time decide to re
port another disagreement. The pre-
ponderence of opinion is, however, tha'
there will not be another report o
disagreement. In fact the democrati,
conferrees assert that another disa
greement means the defeat of the bill
The indications all point to the proba
bility that the sugar schedule again
will be the principal point of conten
tion and that but for the difference
on this point an agreement would b,
reached after very brief sitting.
