Col. A. ". Carter, State commissioner
of agriculture, is. in a pretty pickle.
The last legislature passed a resolution
requiring bis bureau to have Louisiana's
products fully represented at the
Atlanta Exposition, but failed to make
any appropriation to defray the ex-
peDses that such an exhibit will entail.
But the commissioner is not cast down.
He is determined that the State shall
be represented, and will appeal to the
public spirit Of the people and raise a
subscription. 1t is hoped that success
may attend his efforts, for it would be
unfortunate for the State not to be
represented at all.-Baton Rouge Sugar

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. The children
Of the late James G. Fair have decided to
contest their fathers will. One of the at
torneys for Mrs Herman Oelrichs and Miss
Virginia Fair made the statement in court
to-day that the probated will would be op-
posed, and the court allowed a contin-
uance of two weeks to inaugurate the con-
test. Fairs daughters ana his son. Charles
L. Fair. are acting in concert in this mat
ter The fight over the Fair millions prom
iseS to be long and bitter. All of the lead
ing law firms of the city are being drawn
into the contest on one sioe or the other
Governor Budd being one of Charles l..
Fairs special counselors. The executors
especially desired the probate of the will
before the contest so they could make the
fight out of the funds of the estate in
stead of personally advancing the costs of
the battle According to the terms of the
will any legatee making contest is to
forfeit his share of the estate.

BLAMES REPUBLICANS.
Springer Thinks the Minority Should
Have Passed the Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb 7.-Chairman Spring
err of the banking and currency committee,
was not prepared to say tonight whether
any further action would be taken or what
would now be done. He was very much dis
appointed at the result and blamed the Re-
publicans, saying if they had stood by the
bill it would have passed. If anything was
to be done new bill would have to be
brought in, as the bill voted on is beyond
recall. All other Democrats who We're for
the bill said that this was the end of any
thing in the way of financial legislation
There was some talk of a Democratic eau
Gus, but that did not seem probable. The
general impression prevailed that there
would now be another bond issue without
delay.
Ex-Speaker Reed, who tried to make an
explanation on the floor of the House, made
a brief statement to the press. He said:
II had, with the support of all the Repub-
licans, presented a proposition, which the
ruling powers saw fit to refuse. Neverthe-
less, had gone further and voted for bill
which contains things l do not approve of,
simply TO enable the matter to go to the
Senate, in hopes that something might be
done. The bill failed. / now desire to sug-
get that / have doubt this side of the
House would vote for the second section of
my substitute any other proposition
which had any practical chance of passing"

DEBATE AND VOTES.
Proceedings of the House in Detail
Reeds Explanation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE last hope
of financial legislation for the relief of
the treasury at the present ses-
sion of Congress went by the board
when the House this afternoon, by a
vote of 134 to 161, rejected the admins
tration bill to authorize an issue of $780,
OOO, ,006 gold bonds. The bill was beaten be-
fore it reached it's last parliamentary stage
This result was reached after three days
of spirited, and at times heated, debate,
and at the end of a seven-hour session.
From IL until $3.50 o'clock to-day, when the
bill, with the pending substitute, was re-
ported to the House from the committee of
the whole, amendments were offered in
rapid succession, most of which were voted
Gown as fast they were offered. Many
of them were designed to load down the
bill, and the votes thereon were in no
sense test votes. The Bell amendment, for
instance, to make the bonds payable in
gold and silver was defeated by the de-
cisive vote of 76 to 106, while the bill was
defeated by 1874 to ISL. Both the Reed and
Cox substitutes, with the amendments
thereto, We're rejected after the bill was
reported to the House. The Reed substi-
tute, authorizing the issue of coin bonds for
the replenishment of the gold reserve and
certificates of indebtedness to defray de-
ficiencies in the revenues, was lost, 100
to 1877. 1t was a party vote, save for the
fact that seven Democrats and Canaan of
California, voted for it. When the ques-
tion came up the third reading and
engrossment of the bill the whole oppose
ton concentrated while the vote was be-
ing taken, which resulted in the refusal of
the House to order the third reading the
interest centered in the vote of Mr. Reed
He sat quietly in his seat during the first
call and did not answer to his name but
on the second call he voted for the bill.
AS soon as the result was announced Mr.
Reed attempted to make an explanation
of the attitude of himself and those of his
colleagues who had voted for the BILL but
objections were made. He afterwards ex-
planned, however, that he had submitted
a proposition (his own substitute), which
he considered would meet the situation
The Democrats had rejected this, and then
he and many of his colleagues although
opposed TO features OF the bill, had voted
for il in the hope that it would pass and be
amended in the Senate. Mr.. Springer then
moved to reconsider the vote by which the
third reading was refused but this motion
was laid on the table--135 TO f23-and the
analysis of the vote showed that forty-four
Republicans and ninety Democrats
voted for the bill, and fifty-six Repu5ltcans
ninety-seven Democrats and eight Populists
voted against 1t.
Some routine business was transacted be-
fore the debate on the bond bill was re-
sumed. Bills were passed as follows: To
give homesteaders preference at the opening
