SLOW TO VOTE IN THE SENATE.
ALLISON FAILS TO GET A TIME
FIXED FOR IT.

Senator Morgan, However, Expresses
the Belief That the Debate on the
Conference Report VIII He
brought to n Close To-day-Senn-
tors Chiffon, Jones aud Pettigrcw
Oppose the Report and Allison De-
tends It-TiIImRn Argues in Favor
of an Export Bounty on AgricuI-
turaI Products.
Washington, July 22.-Shortly before the
Senate adjourned to-day Senator Allison,
in charge of the tariff bill, made a strong
effort to have the time fixed for a final
vote on the tariff conference report. Fail
ing in this, Mr.. Allison gave notice that
the session tomorrow would be protract-
ed with a view to securing a vote 1t
was the first definite movement made
thus far toward bringing the debate to a
close.
Mr.. Allison's first proposition was for
a vote at o'clock tomorrow, but this
was objected to by Mr.. Pettus of Ala
bama. Then he proposed a vote some
time before adjournment tomorrow, which
was objected to by Mr.. Morgan.
met with like objection from Mr.. Morgan
The Alabam senator explained his last
objection by stating that he thought all
debate on the report would be exhausted
tomorrow, so that 1t was needless to
make an agreement in advance.
Finding that there was no disposition to
reach an agreement, Mr.. Allison finally
gave notice that hereafter while the re-
port was pending the Senate would not
adjourn until o'clock without an aye
and nay vote.
The debate on the report to-day was
participated in by Senators Chiffon of
Texas, Jones of Arkansas and Pettigrew
of South Dakota, in opposition while Mr..
Aldrich took frequent occasion to defend
the report against the criticism of these
senators.
The credentials of the new senator from
Tennessee, Thomas B. Turley, who sue
ceeds the late Senator Harris, were pre-
sented by his colleague, Mr.. Bate, and
the oath of office administered.
During the discussion of the agricultural
schedule, Mr.. Tillman was drawn into a
vehement argument on the benefit Of an
export bounty on agriculture products
The South Carolina senator declared that
the imposition of such a bounty was the
most effective means of destroying the en-
tire protective system, for If the farmer
got one drop of blood in his mouth he
would want to swallow the whole carcass.
and it would end in a scramble, overturn-
ing the whole system.
The TDuse joint resolution was passed
requesting the President 20 make inves-
tigation as to the exclusion of American
tobacco from foreign countries under the
reggie" contract system.
At o'clock, the Senate held an execu-
tive session and then adjourned.

FIRST SHARK OF THE SEASON.
Rig Catch Made by n Fishing Party
South of Tybee.


The largest shark of the season was
caught south Of Tybee yesterday. There
have been several parties from the interior
at the resort lately who wanted to have
some experiences at fishing. Among them
were Mr.. w. f. Tarver Of Augusta and
Mr.. and Mrs. f. p. Ayres, Of Macon. They
have expressed their desire several times
TO try their hand at the fishing and yester-
day they went out in the inlet south of
the island, and were having a good time
fishing when MIR. Grogan, who was with
the party, remarked that he had a good
shark hook and bait for shark They decid-
ed that while they were fishing for whit
ing and trout they would cast a hook for
shark, too, and did so. The bait was a
stingaree with the trimmings cut off.
The hook had not been cast out more
than fifteen minutes before there was a
frightful swing upon the stern of the boat
from which the line dangled. 1t was clear
that big fish had hold of the line. Mr..
Ayres, who Is associated with the Central
Railroad Company at Macon, became
aroused with the fear that the boat was
going to be capsized and instantaneously
pulled out his knife and offered 1t to the
man nearest the line 10 cut 1t on the mo-
ments notice. There We're ladies in the
boat and he was fearful of the conse-
Quences. But the others allowed the play
upon the line, and although the boat was
at anchor they allowed it to be dragged
for more than a mile. They held on to the
line and it was soon apparent that there
was giant on the other end Of it.
After a daring fight with the fish they
finally were enabled to haul him close be-
side the boat, when it was ascertained that
it was a shark of huge proportions. The
shark was brought into the boat and held
underneath the cross seats until they had
pulled back to a safe landing. Mr.. Ayers
said it measured feet inches and
weighed 242 pounds. 1t was pronounced
the biggest shark caught in that vicinity
and fishermen declared that the party
should congratulate themselves that they
had been so fortunate as to land him with
no further trouble than had resulted dur
ing the encounter with the fish.

JUST FIFTY YEARS AGO.
The Savannah Library and the GeOr-
gia Historical Society United.

1t has been just fifty years this month
since the Georgia Historical Society and
the old Savannah Library Association
united to form the present library.
Those who are not familiar with the
history of the society will be interested
in knowing the facts of the organization.
The Savannah Library Association was or
ganized away back in 1909, the first days
of the present century.
In the spring of 1899 the Georgia His
torical Society was organized by DR.. r.
D. Arnold, Mr.. I. K. left and W. B.
Stevens, afterward Bishop Stevens of
Pennsylvania.
1t was in 1S47 on July r. and just fifty
years ago. that the two organizations were
brought together. The old Savannah
Library Association had its hall in the
basement of the Chatham Academy for
a long time.
In 1889 banquet was given by the men,
bers of the Georgia Historical Society In
commemoration of the 5Oth anniversary
of its organization.

Prince was arrested in Beaufort on
emancipation day. A large crowd of Sa-

on that day. Chief McDermOtt rightly
calculated that Prince would be there and
asked Chief John Green of Beaufort to
arrest him. Chief Green complied
with the request and Prince was arrested.
II is the custom at Beaufort on account
of the general liberty of the Emancipation
day celebration, to release all .>risoners
arrested during the day before night, in
order that they may return to their
homes Prince was on to this fact. When
the mayor called for the crowd of pris-
oners to be brought before him, Prince
marched out with the rest of the crowd.
Chief Green was on duty on the streets.
and the policeman on duty neglected to
Jock Prince in his cell. He was released
with the other prisoners, who were
charged with petty offenses and at once
proceeded to make himself scarce. Chief
McDermott has since been endeavoring
TO locate him, and has at last succeeded.
