BERRY CARRIES BENTON.

A yesterdays dispatch from Ben
tonville, Ark, announces that the
primary election Of Benton county
was held on Saturday, the 18th
instant, for the purpose of express
ing the choice Of the Benton county
Democracy for county and district
officers, as well as for Congressman
and United States Senator.
The indications so far as received
are that Dinsmore has carried the
county. Total vote polled $500.
Fishback developed but little
strength, some of the townships go
ing solid for Berry Fishback's
vote in the county will not exceed
300.
1t would appear therefore, that
Senator Berry has defeated his Sen
atorial opponent by a vote of 8 to 1.
In Gov, Fishback's own county, Sc
bastian, his majority over Senator
Berry did not exceed 3 to l, a decid-
ed difference in the relative strength
of the two men in their respective
strongholds.
Since the Benton county primar.
les were held another county has
been added to the Berry list, that
of Arkansas, which declared for the
gallant Senator by vote of to l.

GETTYSBURG, May IA, Maj VIM,
W. Rogers, of the Gettysburg Bat
tlefeld Commission, today said:
"The commission would like to have
the present address of all Confeder-
ate officers and men still living who
were in the battle Of Gettysburg,

letters from each of them, specifying
with care and accuracy what pre-
else points on this field they occu-
pied and fought over, and any 9th
er important matters concerning
the subject which they can state
definitely, would also be gratified
to have as many old Confederates
as can afford 1t to visit this field and
look it over with me.
THE United States Government
is seeking through us, as it's agency,
to locate and mark with permanent
tablets the lines, positions and evo-
lutions Of every command ON both
sides in the battle on each of the
three days-in fact to photograph
on the ground all the phases Of the
historic conflict in which both ar
mics displayed the utmost heroism
and won immortal renown.
"The commission has requested
me as its Confederate member to
give special attention to verifying
points and details TO the Conteder-
ate side We already have much IN
formation but desire absolute accur'
acy Those who will be kind enough
to comply with this request should
address me either here at Gettys
burg or at Statesville N. Q.

IN THE SENATE.

The course of the proceedings in
the Senate this week will probably
depend largely upon the result of
the Republican caucus held last
night. The Democrats are hopeful
that the caucus will decide upon
treating the tariff in what they
consider ga business-hke manner
and letting the bill proceed upon its
course without as much speech
making and without the effort at
delay which has been displayed by
some Of the Republican Senators 50
far in the debate.
There is unquestionably a large
element on the Republican side of
the Senate Chamber opposed to any
course which smacks in the least
of fillibusterirg. This element in
cludes large number Of Senators
from the West, also sprinkling of
the older Eastern Senators who feel
that they have a record to sustain
against dilatory tactics. The young
New England Republican Senators
are, however, almost unit in favor
of continuing the fight upon the
lines which have been pursued up to
this time. They contend that no
dilatory tactics have yet been re-
sorted to, and that none are necess-
airy and they will probably make a
strong plea to continue the pro-
gramme heretofore pursued in dis
cussing the bill.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Tariff in the Senate and ApprOpria-
tion Bills in the House, the Order
of the Week

The attention of the House will
be occupied by the appropriation
bills during the present week, as it
was during that just passed, unless
the State bank element should sue
ceed in its effort to secure the TAX
ing up of the Brawley bill, on to-
morrow.
Chairman Springer Of the Bank
ing Committee had hoped to take
up this long deferred bill which re-
lieves from Taxation certain bank
scrip issued during the currency
stringency last fall. The State
bank men are ready to offer an
amendment bringing up the entire
State bank question. In anticipa-
tion of the Wednesday debate Mr..
Springer has prepared a speech
which is said to be the most elabor-
ate on the banking system, since
National banks were established
during the war. But Representa-
tive Dockery and other members of
the Appropriation Committee are
not entirely willing to halt in the
good record thus far in hurrying
along the appropriation bills They
want the three remaining appro-
priation bills cleaned up before Civ
ing way tomiscellaneous legislation.
1t is probable this feeling will pre-
vail, although State bank men have
not given up hope of securing a
hearing this week.
