ABOAT EXCURSION
Jolly Party on City of Mobile Last Night-Beneit of the
 Church

The Nipples of the Alabama" was enjoyed by two hundred pleasure seek CTS who. last night, went on moon- light boat excursion given by the ladies of the Court Street Methodist Church. It is doubtful if ever more success full entertainment has been given in Montgomery. The City of Mobile was taxed to it's limited capacity and there was not the slightest hitch ip the pro- gram.
 At S:45 o'clock the boat left the wharf. It went down stream ten miles and then returned nearly to the city, when it again turned its bow towards the Gulf. and after another short cruise returned to the city about mid night. after running a total of about twenty-five miles.
 A kAnd of music was on board and the young people took possession of the boat all four decks being crowded. Refreshments were served and a splendid breeze was continually blow ing and the fortunate ones on the boat forgot that the thermometer a few hours before. had been playing near the 100 mark in the city
 It is said that there were hundreds of persons who wanted to go on the boat ride. but were prevented from doing so because they were not able to get tickets. For fear of overcrowd- ing the boat it was understood that only 200 tickets were sold and these were disposed of in short order 9th CTS clamore1 for them hut they were not to be had

 Mir. Bulger sent up an amendment to the amendment to strike out the whole
 of Section 5. He said he believed Sec l tion provided sufficient suffrage plan | for Alabama. He thought it reformed
 suffrage and Section was unnecessary. The presiding officer. Mir. Jenkins, of | Wilcox, ruled that the amendment of
 Mn Bulger was not germane to the antandment of MT. Long and was con- sequently out of order
 Mir. O'Neal of Lauderdale, then
 moved to table the amendment of Mir. Long, and by an aye and nay vote of
 65 to 49 the amendment was tabled. Mir Williams of Fillmore, gave notice
 that he would move to reconsider the

MAC NELL AFTER EDITOR.
Wanted Publisher of London Mail
 Disciplined.

London, July 30.--The printer and puh. fisher of The Daily Mail of this city had narrow escape today from being ordered to appear at the bar of the House of Commons on Thursday next as the result Of observations made in connection with the War Secretary (Mr. Broderck's) boy colt Of that newspaper on account of it's South African disclosures The Daily Mail this morning characterized as base less and mean Mir. BFodericks assertion in the House of Commons yesterday that the paper had a habit of surreptitiously buying secret war office informatio add ing that if Mir. Roderiek ventured to re, peat outside of the House that the paper had stolen official documents, 1t would prosecute him for libel
 In the House of Commons this after noon Swift MacNeiIl, Irish Nationalist made a motion to the effect that The Daily Mails challenge was a breach of the privilege of the House. The Govern ment leader Mir. Ralfour, assented. But apparently not desiring to stir the matter up. he said he thought it was not neces- sary to press the motion. Mir MacN<ill, however. insisted and the motion was carried without division.
 Mir MacNeill then moved that the prin- ter and publisher be ordered to appear at the bar of the House tomorrow. The mo- tion was defeated-2SS to 12S votes.
