WASHINGTON, June 4.
SENATE.

The Senate met at II q. m. to-day
with view to expediting the tariff bill.
Two speeches were announced for the
day, one by Mr.. Mantle on the wood
schedule of the tariff bill, and another,
by Mr.. Butler, on his joint resolution
to amend the constitution so as to give
Congress the power to impose income
taxes. Mr.. Mantle vas recognized.
The attendance CT Senators was small
and at Ills q. m. Mr.. Pettigrew called
attention to the absence of a quorum. A
call disclosed 80 Senators present l3 less
than quorum. This brought business
to halt. 1t was half an hour before
quorum was secured and business pro-
ceeded. Before Mr.. Mantle resumed
the bill was passed appropriating $685.
600 for public builing at Wilkesbarre,
Pa, and the House amendments to the
relief resolution for the sufferers by
the Rio Grande river overflow were
agreed to.
Mr.. Mantle then resumed his speech
and spoke at length.
Mr.. Mantle closed at l:45, and Mr..
Butler followed Immediately on the
subject of an income tax. Mr. Allison
showed some Impotence at the delay
of the tariff debate, but was assured by
Mr.. Butler that he would not speak
long.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Butelr's
speech the consideration OF the tariff
bill by paragraphs was resumed.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

This has been another dull week in bust
ness circles and tho talk of hard times con-
tinues. But little is doing in monetary af-
fairs. In New York yesterday money on call
was easy at 1ltia11h per cent, last loan 1,
closed 1a1A per cent. Prime mercantile pa
per 31aa4 per cent. In Baltimore money WAS
easy and in slow inquiry, with call rates rul-
ing at 3a3la per cont, and bank discounts
and accommodations at and per cent. Idle
funds are steadily accommodating. Virginia
Century bonds were steady at CAS- which
was paid for $4,000. Railway stocks had a
narrow movement.

SCHOOL BoARD.-The monthly meet
inc Of the City School Board was held
last night The meeting was SHINY at
tended and in the absence of the chair
man Mr.. Marbury was called to the
chair.
Superintendent Kemper made re-
port in reference to the application of
several ladies for the use of room in
Peabody building in which to reopen
the Alexandria Library. He said the
room in which the books were now
stored was used as school room for
Miss Bruce's school, He thought it
would be q great relief to the room if
the books were taken out and the walls
whitened; this would add to the COM
fort of the room and to the teacher
AMI pupils whose eyes were being
affected by the darkness Of the room;
he thought the Assembly room could
DE used for library room as 1t was
proposed to keep open such room but
few hours each day. He recommended
that the books be placed in the assembly
room if they were to remain in Peabody
building
Mr.. Carne thought THAT the books
hid better remain where they were and
the school be removed to the Assembly
rooms, as the present school room was
lily suited for school purposes; the eyes
and comfort of the teachers and pupils
should be first taken into consideration.
The matter was laid over for future
action.
A number ofbills for repairs and sup
plies were ordered 10 be paid.
An application from Miss Lou Chew
ming, of Saluda, for position as teach
er, was received.
The Superintendent reported that he
had attended the recent meeting in
Il cbmoud ofthe school superintendent
ami thought the meeting had accom-
plished much good. He also reported
that he bad visited oil the public
schools of the city during the month
and found them to be in good working
order.
90 his recommendation the dates for
closing the schools were fixed as fol-
lows: Washington, June 22d; Lee, 23d;
Hallowel, 9th, and Snowden 25th.

Mr.. J A F0rney, of Coshocton
county, OHIO, who won the first prize
In the Breeders g. aEette corn raising
contest, raising 146 Is bushels on one
acre of land, thus describes the con
disions under which the crop was
grown:
The character of the soil was second
bottom clay loan, with a yellow clay

off on a slight raise in a practically
level field and as the past season was q
very wet one here this slight down
grade on all sides gave it the chance of
receiving abundant moisture without
allowing the water to stand on any
part of it. This small rise made fine
place for outdoor feeding and it has re

from that source in past years. Horses
and cattle had been fed corn fodder on
this ground more or less for FIVE years

This acre had not been under plow
in the last three years, but was in pas

and white clover from 1893 60 1895.
In preparing it or the corn growing
contest the past season about ten tons
of stable manure we're spread on the
ground in the latter part of April.
This manure was fresh from the horse
barn where I was fitting a bunch of
horses for the market was feeding
them dry hay and fodder, bran and
middlings mixed with steamed hay,
ear corn and about three pounds of
oil meal per head each day.
I plowed the acre with three horse
