is improving rapidly. He lives near Red

RALEIGH, n. c., May lS.-The Fourth
District Republican Congressional Con-
vention met here this afternoon. It's ses-
sion was marked by bitterness and dis
order. n. T. English, of Randolph coun-
ty, was nominated for Congress. This
action of the convention is regarded as a
defiance of the Populists. The present
congressman is Stroude, who is a Popu-
list, elected on the fusion ticket, and
English is a Republican. The convention
to-day refused to endorse fusion. and no
Mckinley endorsement resolutions were
introduced. Il. A. Johnson and w. IL.

that the weather there is fair, apparently
gives Governor Sayers great satisfaction,
for he carries broad smile with him

men about the map, and it is great
place for the swapping of stories about

Lynn, Mass. February 2.-Thers was a
decided sensation at the services in the
Lynn Labor church today over the sermon
of Rev. Herbert N. Casson, who con-
demned the administration of President
Cleveland in the strongest terms
The speaker commented upon the re-
cent action of Senator Tillman, and said
his address and actions in the National
House of Representatives, would never
fade from the history of this country.
The following resolutions were unani-
mouusly adopted at the services:
We heartily endorse the brave aud pa
triotic words OF Senator Tillman, and we
believe his charges against the Demo-
cratic and Republican leaders true and
easily proven. We pledge ourselves to up
hold him and his Few colleagues as long
as they defend the rights of the people
against the legal tyrannles and embezzle-
menus of the rich.

If so it will afford abundant opportunity
for debata. The majority and minority
report in the Dupont case involving the
seat of senator from Delaware, will
be called up as privileged question by
Mr.. Mitchell, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections at the first
oppor tunity. For routine matters the
Senate has three urgent deficiency and
pension appropriation bills ready for
consideration, niether likely to call out
ans great amount of discussion.
When the bond sale bill with the Sen
ate's free coinage amendment is report
ed in the House tomorrow, it will prob
ably be referred to the committee on
ways and means, if SO, Tuesday next
when that committee meets it will un-
doubtedly recommend non concurrence
in the Senate amendment. Whether this
bill so amended shall be permitted al
once to engage the attention of the
House to the exclusion of other business
has not been determined. The probabili-
ties are said to be that it will be sent to
conference without much debate. The
House bill will proceed with the appro-
priation bills. The District Of Colum bia
appropriation bill will come up Monday
for further, and it is hoped. final oonsid-
Grafton. The agricultural appropriation
bill is ready on the calendar and the In
dian and military bills are simply wait
ing to be reported from the committee
in charge of them.
The foreign affairs committee will be
ready almost any time during the week
to report the resolution censuring Am

burg and Boston, England, and an in
teresting debate will doubtless OCCUR

Capital Gleanings.

Washington, February 2.-The Senate
does not convene again until Tues
day. 1t has no unfinished business be-
fore it and consequently the course
OF procedure during the week may de-
pend largely upon the action or the
finance committee upon the tariff Dill.
The Republicans hope to be able to re-
port that measure Tuesday.
Mr.. Jones of Nevada, who holds the
balance of power in tine committee and
who has insited upon the sugar schedule
being raised in the same proportion as
other sched ules. stated yesterday that he
thought the bill would not be ready to
report Tuesday. This WAS said some
hours after the free silver amendment
passed the Senate, sand is therefore re-
garded as indicating that Mr.. Jones's s
opposition to the speedy reportings of
the tariff bill has something besides sill
YER back of it, Mr.. Dubois kept his reso-
luton providing for the distribution of
the appropriation bills amohg the vari-
GUS committees in the back ground be-
cause of his desire not to antagonize the
silver bill. That being out of the way
it's not unlikely he may call this regolu
tion up at an early day.

Washington, January 2-Talking about
the weather is no means confined to sew
ing circles, teas, or chance meetings of
neighbors on the streets and IN the cars.
The members of the House of Rspresen-
tatiyes are the greatest weather cranks in
the nation. And the Agricultural De-
partment has done it's best to humor
them. The Congressman who wants to
know what the weather is going to be
does not have to go out of doors and
watch the smoke descend from the ohinl-
neys, or mark whether the hens and
chickens stay in or go out, or sniff the
breezes and study the clouds. In the
House lobby that luxurious corridor
which the members share only with the
portraits of the line of Speakers, is hung
the weather map. 1t is a large map of
the United States and portions of the
British possessions and Mexico But 1t
differs from other maps, in that little
brass hooks are inserted in all the prin-
oipal cities, and that from these hooks
hang little pieces of pasteboard, made
in the forms of arrows and circular
discs. The discs are colored and the ar
rows point in various directions. A
black disc means rain, a blue disc cloudy,
"a disc with black and white stripes
