SENATE. Mat 25th. The debate on the tarifl bill begun in the Senate with crowded galleries, a large attendance of Senators and the tariff leaders of the House. Senator Aldrioh made the opening speech, jvhlcn lasted or almost ah miftrter. ftdnrittrio- an AftSv 'conversational style.

His speech was tf.flTY Tn 1 tfaa an1 in a oanoa rf Vrk 1 publican side of the chamber. Without making invidious distinction between the two bills, Mr. Aldrich clearly stated, as the belief of the finance committee, that the House bill would not yield revenue adequate for the needs of the government. Mr. Vest, one of the Democratic members of the finance committee, followed with a statement in opposition to the bill.

Mr. Cannon, of Utah, a silver Republican, closed the debate for the day by urging that the protection should be "so distributed as to aid the farmers. Mat 215th. The first vote on the tarifl bill was taken in the Senate. It came after a two hours' debate on the item of beracic acid, which, although comparatively unimportant, afforded an opportunity for the first alignment of the various elements.

Mr. Vest, of Missouri, a Democratic member of the finance committee, moved to make the rate on beracic acid three cents instead of five cents per pound, as provided by the committee. This presented a direct issue between the committee and the opponents of the bill. The amendment was defeated, yeas, 20; nays, 34. The resolution was agreed to authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to employ any suitable ship in forwarding relief supplies to India.

The final conference report in the Indian appropriation bill was 'agreed to. May 27th. The Senate made good progress on the tariff bill, disposing of about ten pages. Several votes were taken during the day, the finance com mittee being sustained in each case by majorities varying from 6 to 15. The drug schedule wa3 under discussion and the debate was largely technical.

Occasionally, however, it branched off to general phases of the tariff, although at no time during the day was there a speech of more than five minutes duration. Before calling up the tariff bill final conference report on the sundry civil bill was agreed to, including the provisions suspending until March 1 next the executive order creating ex-closive forest reserves. May 28th. In the Senate, Tillman, senator from South Carolina, made a sensational speech on the sugar trust in which he openly charged Senator Smith, of Xew Jersey, of speculating. He also presented a resolution for the appointment of a special committee of five Senators to investigate charges of speculation by Senators while the tariff bill was before the finance committee.

The resolution was referred to the committee on contingent expenses, and it is thought that an investigation will be ordered. Aldrich, in charge of the tariff bill, answered Tillman in a sweeping denial of all irregularity on the part of the finance committee and specific denial of charges that the sugar trust had dictated the sugar schedule to the tariff bill. Considerable progress was made on the tariff bill thirteen paragraphs being covered. Several votes were taken during the day, but the finance committee had a liberal majority in every instance. The Democratic members of the finance committee made a strong effort to reduce the rates of window glass, but their amendments to this effect were defeated.

May 29th, Progress on the tariff bill in the Senate was checked, the plate glass paragraphs proved a source of controversy lasting throughout the day. As a result, little more than a page of the bill was disposed of. The finance committee succeeded without difficulty in resisting proposed amendments from Democratic members of the committee, although each amendment was debated at great length. Senator Quay succeeded in carrying a motion to adjourn over the Decoration Day celebration on Monday. The debate on Senator Jones' amendment to the plate glass schedule lasted two hours, and on a yea and nay vote was defeated 21 to 29.

Senators Heitfield, Kyle and Pettigrew voted with the Democrats, and Senator Jones, of Nevada, with the Republicans. HOUSE. May 27th.

b. s. BOWHA.K. rTi.n, Soma time ago he had a severe Ulness which was cured almost miraculously. A reporter hearing of this, interviewed him regarding his experience.

Prof. Bowman was in the midst of his work when the reporter called, but he cheerfully gave him a hearing. "A year ago last fall," said the professor, "I broke down with nervous exhaustion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians but with no relief, and also used many different proprietary medicines, spending almost fifty dollars for these medicines alone. I then succumbed to a seige of the grip in the middle of winter, and was left in a much worse condition.

My kidneys were fearfully disordered, and my digestion became very poor. I was Indeed in a bad condition. "A minister tn conference learning of my condition advised me to tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard much about the wonderful curative powers of this medicine, but it was with reluctance that I was finally persuaded to try it, as it seemed that nothing could do me any good.

However, I procured three boxes of pills and took them strictly according to directions. By the time the last dose was taken I was almost cured, and in better health than I had been for years. I continued using the pills awhile longer and was entirely cured. I can cheerfully reoommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

Such was Professor Bowman's wonderfuj story, which was fully endorsed by the following affidavit: Habtsville, March 16, 1897. I affirm that the above accords with the facts in my case. B. W. Bowmak.

Raleigh Correspondence Wilmington Messenger. 1 The State's Collection of portraits has become to be important. It is Very neWj having been begun only twelve years ago in Governor Scales' time. The first portrait presented was that of Chief Justice Thomas Ruffin, a full length in oil, by Elder, of Richmond, the gift of Mrs. Paul C.

Cameron. This was kept in the executive office until the completion of the supreme court and library building in 1888, when it was placed in the supreme court room. In this fane and lofty room are now also the oil portraits of John Louis Taylor, the first chief justice, and Associate Justice Hall, both members of the supreme court as it now exists. It is to be regretted that there is no portrait of the other first chief justice, Leonard Henderson. The court of which these were the first members was constituted in 1818.

Before that it was called the court of conference. Chief Justice Taylor wears the old fashioned queue. He has a very fine face indeed. From another canvass the face of Archibald Murphey looks down. He was not only an eminent jurist, but was also the father of the public sohool system in this State and it was a fitting compliment to give his name to the Murphey public school in Raleigh.

Other portraits, all in oil, are of Joseph J. Daniel, (1832), Frederick Nash, William Gaston, (the author of the "Old North State," written in a little office building here, in a comer of the yard of Mr. Charles M. Busbee's residence) Matthias E. Manly, William H.

Battle, Richmond Pearson, Edwin G. Reade, Augustus S. Merrimon, Thos. S. Ashe, William N.

H. Smith, Joseph J. Davis and William T. Faircloth. It is to be most earnestly hoped that other portraits of justices will be presented to the supreme- court.

In the library room of the court there are portraits, some in oil, some in crayon and some photographs, of Edwin Graham, William T. Dortch, Moore. John Mflnninrr TTfmrv (chief justice of the old curt of con- IP 1 1 -w- -m ierence, wnose grandson, oseph JU. Seawell, is stenographer to the present court); Thomas Pollock Devereux, Patrick Henry Winston, Bartlett Yancey, Robert P. Dick, Thomas Settle, William B.

Rodman, George E. Badger, James Iredell, (associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States), Daniel G. Fowle, John Gray Bynum and Walter Clark. Charles E. Johnson, of this city, grandson of James Iredell above referred to, is the owner of the most valuable collection of letters in the State, and of one of the finest collections of portraits of North Carolinians of the revolutionary period.

He is also the owner of some very fine miniatures of that period. Part of this very choice collection was on view some years ago here, and was insured for 10,000, which gives an idea of its high value. The articles which your correspondent has compiled from the State's war records have attracted an attention which is gratifying. Interest in what is done-or attempted to be done always largely increases zeal in the doing. The home guard was organized uly 7, 1863; that is, the law went into effect that day and organization began.
