WASHINGTON, May 22.-The senate had
an hour of much excitement with q resort
TO obstructive tactics and several heated
personal controversies at a late hour ycster-
day. The early portion of the session had
been given to the routine of agreeing on
conference reports on appropriation bills
At ) o'clock Butler of North Carolina
moved TO take up his bill prohibiting the
further issue Of intercst-bearing bonds.
Hill Immediately moved an adjournment,
securing an aye and my vote in order to
gain time. The motion to adjourn was
defeated, whereupon Chandler followed
with n motion for an executive session.
Pcttigrew asked leave to offer a supple
mentary conference report on the Indian
bill. The consent being given Hill immc-
diately demanded the full reading of the
vcport. This was an unexpected move for
delay. as the report was very voluminous.
Pulls q Quo warranto on Allen.
The presiding officer (Faulkner) ruled
that Hills demand was regular and di-
rccted the clerk TO proceed with the read
ing Of the report. Butler Stewart and
Allen intcrposed chorus of protests.
Allen said he hoped the senate would not
| violate every decency and propriety by
these obstructive tactics. What right
have you to the floor?" asked Hill sharply
addressing Allen personally. Then ad-
| dressing the chair Hill added: He has
| no rightfo the floor"
Yes l have, too,' declared Allen. Il
have the right to speak, and l propose to
do so''
Riot Breaks Out More Fiercely.
"Others have rights as well rs you"
responded Hill. The tone of the sena-
| tors showed much feeling. Allen
was allowed to proceed, and said this OBJ
struction was manifestly aimed at n Pop
| ulst measure.
II am glad it is admitted to be Popu-
! list measure intcrjectcd Hill.
| AT this point more heated colloquy oc-
| CURED between Hill and Allen. The lat

agreement of the senate to be violated, and
the senator who committed such a viola
ton now would regret it.
Who Are You Abiding at, Anyhow?
| Il would like to know if the senator re-
fers to me" said Hill rising quickly.
| There was a momcntary silence, owing to
| the suggestive tone OF Hills inquiry.
| What does the senator want to know
for?" asked Allen with equal significance.
| Il want to know if the reference is to

FRIGHTENING BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
Home Securities Are Stiffening-The Audito-
 rum Site Question.

Business men for the past few days in Birmingham have considerably bright ened in hopes and spirits over the inn. provement in the situation. There seems to be general confident expectation that a very decided turn for the better will be taken all over the country after Feb ruary D. when the pending federal bond issue shall have been disposed of.
 MT. A. M. Shook, vice-president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway com pany, to a State Herald representative last night said: "Yes, we look for de- cided improvement Affairs locally have already much frightened"
 Bank clearings in Birmingham have been increasing every day, and the past weeks figures will show big improve ment over the total for last year.
 One of this city's banks has sold over $200000 worth of home securities within the past thirty days, with indications of a still greater stiffening in that form of investment.
 An apparently excellent proposition has been made to the auditorium committee by a property owner. He proposes to give an ample site easily eligible to citi- zens generally and subscribe $400 besides, provided the auditorium company will for ten years pay all taxes on the ground. The name Is withheld until the matter, which is under advisement, is settled.

Winston, N. C., Jan. 3O.-Particulars were received here tonight of sensa- tional fight between revenue officers and moonshiners on Monday in Carroll coun- ty, Virginia, near the North Carolina line. United States Deputy Marshal Wor- rell and Deputy Collector William Thorn ton were enticed by moonshners to go near Fancy Gap to cut up an illicit dis tillery. When the officers arrived within 100 yards of the still house they saw a number of men leaving there. The offi- cers called upon the supposed blockaders to halt whereupon the latter began fir ing on the officers, who returned the fire, and a fierce battle followed. Marshal Worrell was shot down. His deputy, Thornton plead for some time with the moonshiners before they would allow him to care for Worrell. One of the block aders later assisted Thornton in remov- ing Worrell to an old house. The dep uty went after physician for his friend, but on his return home moonshners set upon and beat him unmercifully, If not fatally. Great indignation exists over the action of the moonshiners, who are considered deSDerate men.
