ThU fact waa taken advantage ot by all tbe backswoods statesmen, headed by law yers who could sot bleed tbe roads for fees, to arouse feeling against the corporations. All tbe prvjudioes of an tl-railroad agitation became concentrated In the Berner bill, which made It the duty of the State Railroad Commission to proceed against tbe railroad companies which combined interests, vlsltinc their charters with forfeiture In some cases and imposing drastlo penalties in other.

The bill passed th House by a good majority. The Senate took the measure np this morning, and by a vote ot 13 to 20 laid tt upon the table. Three speeches were made in favor of the bill and none against It, the Senators being weary of the agitation, which had taken up the attention of the House all Bummer.

Sttahan ot Millstone waa th oholoe of tha opposing or Blodgett faction. Both aid war firm and held their ground so persistently that it waa decided to adjourn the convention until to-day.

DISCOURAGING REPORTS BT THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. Atlanta, Ga, Oot 9. Tho universal opinion of tbe large number of correspondents of the Agricultural Department of tbe State is that the cotton crop of Georgia cannot exceed three-fourths of tbe full crop, while many maintain that the present condition does not even Justify this estimate. Col. T.

Neabltt, the Commissioner of Agriculture, who ha Jnstretarned from an extended tour through Southern and Middle Georgia, says: "From my trip through tbe State I am convinced tbat Instead of a crop exceeding 000.000 bales, as that of last year. It will not exceed 800,000. and it Is more likely to run several thousand bales below than above those figures. The excessive rain in August, followed by the hot. dry day of September, ha caused more dsmage than waa at first anticipated.

In many localities I found th crop almost entirely gathered, and throughout th state there will be no top or late crop made. Suoh being the case, the gathering of the crop will be over much earlier than for a number of years. In respect to the quality of the staple, the crop 1 superior to that of last year."

The Bank Examiner then pronounced th entry false. Pending further examination the defense aaked for time, and th hearing was continued until next Friday at Altoona.

TH1 LONG DEAD-LOCK AT UTICA BROKEN, AND WARNER MILLER'S FRIENDS BAYX ONE MORE EXPERIENCE OF THK TREA CHERT OF T. PLATT. Uttca. N. Oet 9.

The Senatorial deadlock waa broken at 3 :15 o'clock thl morning oa tha nine handled and thirty-seventh ballot, when the Otsego delegate withdraw their own candidate and eaat thalr solid vote for John E. Smith of Madison County. Th Herkimer delegates were for Senator Eheard to th last Th result la a distinct victory for Piatt Te only one ot the three candidate who eoold be relied upon to do Piatt's bidding la nominated, and this, too. In Warner Miller's own district Away off In Germany Senator Miller I awaiting a reply to his cablegram, Is heard to be renominated Piatt haa answered it now, but hardly to tha liking of the absent statesman. If there Is to be harmony among all taction In th state the evidence 1 not to be found in thl convention.

If th cablegram meant anything It meant that the renomlnatlon ot Sheard wa dear to the heart ot Warner MlUr. It was a small thing to ask, and It could have been easily granted had Piatt really desired. A Word from him and John E. Smith would have stepped down and oat, but th word was not given, al though Miller' support ot th State ticket seemed to depend on that word being given, and although Faaaett begged that Bboard might be saved. Thl only proves that Piatt' first care, even now, the Legislature, and be seems willing to risk his State tloket rather than give Warner Miller a foothold In the Senate.

He ha now beaten Miller In hi own district, and as It has Republican majority hit candidate Is. perhaps, thougn this la net decLdad, safe from defeat. The combination that finally brono-ht abont Smith's nomination wa only made at the last moment It Is generally understood that Mad ison agreed to suooort Wliber for nomination two years benoe. and it Is believed that Smith's successor as Assistant United States District Attorney will be an Otsego County lawyer. The Republicans In this district are In a despondent state ot mind.

Outside of his relations witn and rneadsblp for Warner Miller, th Senator from Little alls. Titus Sheard. ta looked upon as the most representative Kepublioan In the three counties that embrace this Senatorial district Herkimer, Otsego, and Madison. Hi mends and Warner Millers mends entertain to-day different sentiments toward tha State ticket from those they had two day ago. At tne itocnesier convention waroer Miner a friends were bunkoed by Piatt as thsv hava been In all dealings they have had with him slnoe 1885.

They wer betrayed into the belief that tbe nomination for Lieutenant Governor of John W. Yrooinan, a strong Warner Miller man. and tne injection into tne piatrorm ot the plank calling for Government aid for the Nicaragua canal meant a solidification or tn Katmnllean factions, snd that Piatt at last was prepared to make some sort of a division of party isvors witn them, me miier men anouia nsre known better. Piatt has deceived thm aad their chief repeatedly and successfully. He has again Deceived them when their eye were open to tne anger.

Mr. Miner waa personally eoneernea Mr. Sheard' renomlnatlon. He bad Intended to return home a week ago and deliver addresses for the Kepublioan ticket but the intimation wa conveyed to him that Piatt was to sell Sheard out. Hs prudently concluded to modify his In tentions.

Plstt beard of it He sent to Millar a cablegram aaklng It he would preside over a large rstltlostion meeting to be held In New-York City the middle of this month for asset! and Vroo-man. Mr. Millar replied by sending cablegram to a. cneney. he best part or taat aispaten wss suppressed.

Here is the dispatch as it was given out by the people In charge of the Rapab- can State headquarters: DnBsncif, Oet 1, 189L A. C. Ckny, SrIIt Xmhonml Sank: Imnosslble to reach horn befora the 20th. hone all my friends will give a loyal aad energetic support to tb tlckst WARNER MILLc.lt. The most slgnlfleant word to th friend of Warner Miller were stricken oat They were: is Btteara to be renominated To the Miller man these word were the Index to their chiefs position.

From thl question they could understand that he was much concerned in tne weuare or his old mand. But Warner Miller." aald an Oneida County Republican, ought to have known Tom Piatt: he ought to have known that Piatt would tell out eheard 18H1, as He sold out Miller In th United Statea Senatorial fight ot 1887 and th Gubernatorial contest of 1888." This district la run on the ridiculous rotation prinolple. which means that a capable and experienced Senator this term must give way to another man. For tbe paat six year th district ha had three representatives John E. Smith of Madison for the years 1886-7.

Frank Arnold of Otsego. 1888-9; Titus Sheard of Herkimer, 180O-9L Sheard waa honest, capable, and Industrious. He was careful of the Interest of his constituent, and Invariably voted right on matters of interest to tb Stat. In many respects he waa an ideal representative. He wore no man's cellar.

Of all men in tbe Senate he deserved a renomlnatlon. He left the Rochester Convention with tbe assurance that he would have it, and the Miller people were elated. John E. Smith of Morrlsville, Madison County, Is a shuttling, weak politician. In 1885 was nominated for the Senate by tae power of Warner Miller' friends.

His term brought blm into the United States Senatorial contest of 1887. The Miilr people gave him no particular attention, for, coming from Mr. Miller' home district, his vow was regarded, as a matter of eourse, aa pledged for tbe Herkimer statesman. Before the contest had fairly begun a ooapl of cables were aeceary to keep him in line. HI attitude was so anoertaln that he waa olsssed as a Morton man.

and at one time Mr. Miller had every reason to believe that Smith bad gone against him. He waa finally whipped Into line, and mad th speech nominating Warner Miller. Mr. liber, the candidate from Otsego County, is the son of the late Congressman David liber, who for year was able to obtain from the dlatrlot anything he asked for.

He entered the ean ass with the assurance tbat be would obtain the nomination. Bat when John E. Smith resigned the ofiloe ef Assistant United State Dlatrlot Attorney. Wither realised that he waa to encounter an opponent who would enter th contest with th full support of the Hlaoock-Hndriek-Knyon-Onoaaaga combination. There waa no roason way either Wliber or Smith should have been favored with the nomination, and every roason why Sheard should hav been.

The friends of Mr. Millar have- good earn to remember Mr. Platf a defeat ot Davenport for Governor In 1885, Mr. Miller tor Governor tn 1888, th nomination of Mr. Wadawerta in 1891, and.

especially, tha treachery to Mr. Sheard yesterday. will Sheard be renominated I Thl waa th conclusion which Warner Millar pat to his recent eable to A. Chancy tn which he hoped that bis friend would rapport th Republican tlokst Thl Inquiry wa eaxe fully oppressed when th rest ef the eahlegram waa givsn out for publication at Mx. Piatt's om-mittee's headquarters.

Mr. Miller' question waa answered from TJtioa yesterday. Th dead lock wa broken, and Job a E. Smith wa nominated fer tho Senate, and Mr. Millar' friend, litus Sheard, waa left oat la the cold.

Tbe Hopklna-Soeiiee aetata to alao tbe owner ot a good slice of tb property. A new phase ef the matter arose to-day front th fact that tbe Poet Office cannot be built ea the Seventh and Mlaaloa Street It.

The ground waa originally a awamn. and in sMss tn uims a foundation tbe Government wUl nave to spend as much as tt proposes now to give for th property. The grouad is covered with a layer -of hard earth, over whloh sand ha blown, bat a few feot underneath thero to a boa, waieb would require aa normou amount of money to mak sufficiently solid to bear a building Ilk tbe pro posed Post Office. Thero are thousands ef persons In Ran Francisco who remember an old trestle bridge over which foot passengers had to make their way on Mission street between Seventh and Elghlh Btracta This bridge raa exactly la front of th proposed Post Offlo site.

In a northerly direction It passed undr th present Odd Fellows building and extended beyond tbe sew City The time and expense entailed In encoring a foundation for the Hall of Records Is matter ot history, while the Odd Fellows' Association had to go to heavy expense only twelve months ago to build a large private sewer aader it building In order to drain th ground. A concrete floor had alao to bo laid down In order to keep tho water oat ef the lower floor. The sewer wa -absolutely necessary la order to save th foundation.

Th argument la both briefs are based chiefly upon tb contention that the MeKlnley act 1 void because of the omission, by the enrolling clerk, ef the tobacco rebate section, which wa stricken oat of the original bill by tha Senate and afterward restored In conference. Many similar eaaee, decided by State court, are cited, emoaaj the in one by tb Baprem Court ot Michigan. Mayli. 1890.

The opinion of tbe Board ef General Appraiser sustaining the validity of tbe MeKlnley act against th protest ef the Importers that tha act wa void because of th mission ef the tobacco rebate section was written by Appraiser SomervQle. In reply to this, both briefs cite a deolsloa made by Mr. Somervlli while a Jaatleo of the Supreme Court of Alabama, In wbloU they claim be declared an act void for Just that reason. Tb importer also contend that tbe act la an constitutional because It contains the soger bounty clan. In support of thl contention both briefs cite the decision of the late Justice Miller ef tbe United State Snprom Court la which declared: "To lay with en hand the power of tb Government upon the property of tbe citizen, and with th other to bestow it apoa favored Individual to aid private enterprise and build np private fortune.
