NO LONGER A MAJORITY.
Democrats Now Constitute Just One
Half of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2,--The Demo
cratic steering committee is having
difficulty in reaching conclusion on
the order of business for the re-
mainder of the session The friends
of the bankruptcy bill are making
strong efforts to prevent it from be-
ing displaced by any other than ap-
preparation bills, while there is also
a sharp conflict between the terri
torial bills and the pooling bill for
precedence when the bankruptcy
bill shall have been disposed Of. 1t
was believed that the entire mat
ter had been arranged on Thursday,
so that programme could be pre-
sented to the Republicans, but Sen
ator Harris and others objected to
the displacement Of the bankrupt
cy bill, and have 50 far succeeded IN
preventing an order for its sum
mary dismissal, Senator Butler
and others have contended for the
first time after the bankruptcy bill
to the pooling bill, instead of the
territorial bills. These contentious
have caused delay in reaching a
conclusion, which may not be reach
ed before the beginning Of next
week.
In the meantime the Republican
Senators call attention to the fact
that since Senator Mantle Of Mon
tana took his seat today the Demo-
Gratis are no longer in the majority,
their strength only being equal to
the combined vote Of the Republic
cans and Populsts, and they are
therefore contending that the Dem
ocrats can no longer continue to
dictate the order of the proceed
ings of the Senate,

FRENCH WINE CROP.
Its Values For 1894 Estimated by
United States Consul Wiley
At $l86, 100000.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23. --Ac.
cording to United States Consul
Wiley at Bordeaux, the French
wine crop for 1894, including Corsi-
ca and Algiers, amounted to |, l27,
$40, 600 gallons, valued at $lSb, 800,
900, at 16 cents per gallon. The
crop was smaller than the preced-
ing year by 296, 542, 900 gallons in
France proper owing to rain, but
was still in excess of the average
crop. The quality cannot be fully
determined, but the price augments
every day,
We reproduce the above state
ment in order to show what there
is in the wine culture. That French
wine sold at the very low price OF
l6 cent per gallon and brought the
manufacturers of it $lS5, 800, 900.
Now this country gets for its wine
on an average, $l,5O per gallon, or
ten times as much as the people OF
France do, and yet, will say they
cannot make living here. The
trouble with this country is, the
people have gotten to believe that
cotton is the only thing they can
realize any money out Of, The
above statement regarding the
wine crop of France is authentic
and not fictitious, as it comes from
the u. S. Consul to France, $50 Eli

Whenever there is a shooting af-
+! fray in any part Of the South, those
engaged in it are described as eth
er leading citizens" or connected
with the best families, 1t is such
stuff as this that brings the south
into disrepute and subjects the
Southern people to unjust criti-
cism,
AS a rule the people Of the south
who commit murder or attempt to
do so are not the decent and self
respecting people, and are not en-
titled to be classed as "leading citi-
zeRs, nor or they connected with

There may be IN the south as there
are in many other sections of the
country, black sheep Of good fami-
lies, who were born bad or who have
become bad from association with
bad men, but these black sheep are
in no sense representatives OF the
south,
In Atlanta all the bank thieves
and other well dressed criminals are
according to the dispatches from
that city, in the best society of that
town, In fact they circulate
among the 400, The impression cre-
ated by this effort to make the dis
patches more sensational, by giving
the criminals a social standing they
do not possess, is incorrect and does
Atlanta an injury. There are plen-
ty of good people there, honest, de-
cent and God fearing, but according
the writer's Of the dispatches they
do not belong to the "best society"
They are regarded, probably, as
belonging to only the second or
third grade society
In the future the reporters aud
correspondents of Atlanta ought to
be careful TO make clear The STRAIT

who was paid the cash on Mayor
Turner's approval before council
allowed the bills,
A discussion arose on electric
light bill The council having
cash contract with the company to
pay them monthly and to receive
reduction OF $40 off. The failure to
allow the full bill at last meeting
had the effect on the company to
put in bill last night for full amount
$4,000. The council, on debate
decided that owing to the fact that
their contract with the light COM
pauy would expire in sixty days
they would act up to the contract
and pay the cash in full as per
agreement.
Charles Block had two pieces of
scrip of 81, each issued in 1891.
It had been registered but he failed
to have it re-issued, Much talk
was indulged as to the advisability
ofpaying this scrip of, as some
$4,000 or more is held in this city and
the precedent Of paying this scrip
would open the pigeon holes where
other scrip lies, now mouldy with
age for payment, The vote was
taken as to whether this scrip
should be paid and the vote stood
five against two for paying Alder
man Tierney made an appeal to
the council to pay Oft old scrip ac-
cording to it's number. He said a
fund had been set aside for this
purpose and he knew that there
was money in this fund to pay all
or part Of the outstanding scrip.
He made a motion to this effect,

Reid said he had voted for the amend

would like to see it reconsidered and put
in different shape.
Rowell said that no bill before the
House had been more carefully consid-
cred than this. 1t was the result of con-
sultation by sportsmen from all parts Of
the State, and not of the sportsmen's
clubs, as had been claimed. If the men,
bers want the game protected they should
reconsider this amendment. If it is not
reconsidered, there will be no protection
for fish and game, and the State will soon
have none.

the amendment. He spoke for the poor
sportsman and against the millionaire

Republican Caucus.

A joint Republican caucus was held
last evening, and Waymire's Lexow bill
was up for consideration. Waymire
moved that a committee of five be ap-
pointed to confer with the Governor upon
the advisablity of passing the bill, as it
was understood he was throwing his in
fluence against the measure owing to
that section which provides for recount
ing the vote of San Francisco TO the ex-
clusion of other sections of the State.
Senator Mahoney asked if the bill had
passed both houses of the Legislature,
and was informed that such was not the
case. He then sprung the question as TO
what business the Governor could have
with bills that had not been so passed.
Another member suggested that if
Waymire's motion prevailed it would be
as we'll Tor the Legislature TO adjourn,
turn all pending bills over to the Gov
ernor, and allow him 10 both pass or re-
ject, as we'll as to approve or veto them.
1t being impossible TO arrive at an
agreement, the caucus adjourned to meet
at the call of the Chair.

ANTI-LYNOHING

Miss Ida b. Wells Lecture To-pioht at
the Congregational Church.
Miss ida B. Wells will deliver a free
lecture in the Congregational Church this
evening in aid of the effort to so kindle
sentiment in the United States that lynch
law will be unknown in the land. She
speaks especially in behalf of her own
race. the colored, but, as she said in San
Francisco in two lectures there. ''the de-
mand is for fair play for the law; for order,
and for the punishment of the guilty only
by orderly processes, be the offenders
blacks or whites.'
The San Francisco Call of yesterday
said of her Sunday lecture in Grace
Methodist Church, that Every seat was
occupied. The people came to hear one
speak in defense of the many whose
lives have been taken without process
OF law. They had their desires
gratlhed, for the blood-curdling details
OF mob rule, which are matters of
record, caused many of the women in
the audience to pale as the facts were
stated IN clear, ringing voice as the
speaker progressed. For forty minutes
Miss Wells held her audience spellbound,
though at times her voice was choked
with emotion as detail after detail was
related"
The one thing in which Miss Wells
erred and offended was in beginning her
crusade in England, and inducing forma-
ton of societies there which sent out
meddllng committees to investigate in
the United States. This the American
people generally resented, and in the
South the investigators met with cool re-
ceptlons. Americans prefer to correct
home evils without the Intervention of
foreign peoples.
