And there should bo an investigation, he was sure that nothing whatever would be discovered to authorize, justify or support it. Senator Gray objected to Senator Chandler's request that his resolution should lie oyer and retain its place.

Such an investigation as it proposed would be a long step in the direction of centralization. Senator Chandler thereupon withdrew the resolution, and immediately afterwards offered it anew, and then, under the rule, it wemt over till Monday, thns getting the better Of Senator Gray's objection.

The condition of the jwople is scarcely above that of fwrfs; indeed the recent rebellion in the Southern provinces, out of which has grown the present war was not political in itsi character but an uprising of a suffering people against a tyrannical and cruel governor.

The towns i are generally poor and squalid, though many of them are walled and have been important military centres. Seoul or Soul, the capital, is near the west coast, about thirty miles from the sea. Its population variously estimated at 150000 to 200,000 people. Its heavy walls were once formidable, and doubtless are considered so yet by an ignorant populace, but they are crumbling and broken, inadequately armed and useless as a protection against modern artillery. The streets of Seoul are narrow and very crooked.

The country round about the city is very mountainous. Chemulpo," the seaport of the capital, is on the west coast, thirty miles distant. It has a fairly g-xnl harbor, and will bft the base of Japanese operations and the anchorage for the foreign ships of war.

Indications Piat to the Haaa fact are In, the Sonth of all the Cotton 1. Grown Here. One of the most significant features of the industrial revival in the South has been the increase of cotton mills. With in the past fourteen years, indeed, the southern manufacture of cotton has in creased in the value oi it he annual pro duct rrom to 954,200,000. Where in 1880 there were only 842,048 spindles, there are 2,171,147 spindles merrily whirring to-day.

nearly all ot these mills are paving good dividends. and cotton manufacture has become one of the most inviting fields tor- industrial growth. The climate permits uninter rupted operation for factories all the year In view of the past year's record, it is not surprising to find Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith asserting that all indications point to the manu facture in the South of aU? the cotton grown here. Ihe South produces at present over 60 per cent, of all the cotton of the world. but only one-third of this staple is man ufactured in the united states, turope purchases two-thirds of the raw material.

If the South could manufacture its entire product, the gain in increased val ue would be SSOO.OOO.OOOayear; "which properly belongs to this country," declares Secretary Hoke Smith. Egyptain cottton and Russian cotton are also becoming formidable rivals abroad, and wis growing home manufacture will prob ably prove a remedy to some extent for their increasing competition in foreign markets. The bright prospect, which is held out in this hope for the South, can be best appreciated by quoting the Secretary's estimate that a complete domestic cotton manufacture would change the yearly value or ine crop irom wo.ooo,- 000 to nearly 1, 000,000, oou: Her Gor Dander Up.

That Bo by Saved from DNgrace only by the Tlce President's Casting Vote An Incident Which Threatened to Bring to Naught the Whole Tariff Work of the Senate Fnll Text of the Resolu tion.

Aug. 11. Senate To day's proceedings in the Senate were of a most interesting and exciting, involv ing as they did the success or defeat of all the tariff work of the session; and its was only by the casting vote of the vice-President that the party was saved fromfabad repulse, if not a conijibte overthrow. 1 he day began with a debate upon the resolution offered on Friday by Mr. Hill, instructing the Senate conferees on the tariff bill, to report whether tb- conferees of the two Houses were likely to agree; and if not to report a disagree ment.

Mr. Hill modified his resryution by inserting an additional clause requiring the bill to be handed to the Secretary of the Senate for such action as the Senate might desire to take upon it. The significance of this clause was hat it the bill were delivered to the Senate the House could not have the (which has been rumored as one of the possibilities of the occasion) to agree to all the Senate amendments and thus have the bill sent to the President without any further action on the part of the Senate. The debate for nearly two hours was directed to that phase of the bill. At last action was precipitated by a motion made by Mr.

Cockrell to proceed to the consideration of executive business. That motion was justly regarded by Mr. Hill as hostile to his proposition, and he promptly demanded the yeas and nays. These were taken and were watched with intense interest and excitement by Senators of all parties by an immense crowd or spectators in tne gal leries. The result was announced by the Vice-President as yeas 33, nays 35, and he promptly gave his vote in the affirmative, thus defeating the Hill resolution for the time being.

It has now gone to the calendar, whence it can only be taken by a majority vote, although a resolution may be offered at any time. Besides the seventy Senators who voted there were fourteen paired the only Senator left unaccounted for being Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who was present but maintained a position of strict neutrality. The three other Populist Senators, Messrs. Allen. Kyle and Peffer, with the two 1 Democratic Senators, Messrs.4lill and Murphy, voted with the Republicans.

All the other Democratic Senators remained true to their party fealty. The most intense interest and excite ment prevailed on the floor and in the galleries as the vote progressed. Then a pair was announced between Messrs. Irbv and Wilson, of Iowa, to.doubt the defection of his supposed A -J 1 1 t. 1.1 vl: OTl pairing witu mm a nepuuiaauu tin authority was soon forthcoming.

The roll-call was finally completed and the result figured up. It was announced by the Vice President in these words "On agreeing to the motion to proceed to the consideration of executive bust nesa. yeas 85, and nays 35.

The following Senators were paired: Butler and Cameron; Irby and Wilson Ronton and Piatt; Morgan and Quav: McPberson and Morrill; Voorheea and Woleott; Daniel and Squire. Mr. Stewart sat mute.

The executive session was brief and the Senate at 2:10 adjourned until Mon day. Mr. Hills resolution after its final modification reads as follows: That the conferees on the part of the Senate who are now considering the differences be tween the two Houses on the tariff bill report to the Senate if they are likely to come to an agreement, awl, if not to retwrt the principal items of disagreement, delivering said bill to the Secre tary of the Semite for the further action of the Senate thereupon. iSelore going into the tariff matter, the ice President laid before the Senate the resolution offered yesterday by, Mr, Chandler for an inquiry into the fair ness of the recent election in Alabama. Mr.

Chandler remarked that the count ing ot the votes in Alabama was not yet finished, and that the senior Senator from that State had not returned to the city. He therefore proposed to ask that his resolution might go over, retaining ns position, jie expressed the hope that the resolution; would be ultimately agreed to, as he feared otherwise there might be two legislatures, two governors and three United States Senators from Alabama He believed that with a close investigation of the question by the wmmiiuw rnvueges and Elections that great calamity to the State of Alabama would be averted.

ANOTHER CAUCUS CALLED. The Ilsiue Coulden the Sudry aril Appropriation Bill Amendmeat Dl- iretisg Purhase or Kew Site for GoTernmeat Priatlag i Office Defeated. Washington, D.G.,' Aug. 11. Theses-, gion of the House to-day was cononed to the consideration of two items in the sundry civil appropriation bill upon which the conferees had found themselves unable to agree.

The first related to the irrigation and reclamation of arid land, and as to this the House voted to recede from its disagreement to the Senate amendment, with an amendment of its own. This amendment proposed to give to each of the States containing these arid lands a million acres upon certain conditions, the chief one being that $3 per acre should be expended by the States in irrigating the lands. The amendment directing the Becre- tary of the Treasury to purchase the i Mahone lot for a site for the govern" ment printing office, at a- cost not exceeding $250,000, was the bist remaining item of disagreement to be acted upon. Motions were made by Mr. Brotz, Democrat of Indiana, that the House recede from its disagreement, with an amend' to locate the printing office on what is known as the "fish commission and by Mr, Bankhead, Democrat of Alabama, to purchase the lot adjoining the present site, and extend the building over it.

The discussion alto gether related to the question of digit ability ot sites, it oeing conceded on all -sides that a new bnuding was a crying necessity. i The proposition to purchase the Mahone lot (The Senate amendment) was defeated 127 to 52. The proposition to erect the printing office on the "fish Commission Reservation" was also da feated 105 to 75. The proposition to purchased ground adjoining the present site and extend the- building there on was agreed to 133 to The House agreed to a conference on the items still in controversy; the old conferees were re appointed, ami the House at 4:40 o'clock adjourned until Monday: I Immediately after the House adjourned a call for a caucus of Democratic members fo 10 o'clock Monday morning, was read.

C. Aug. 11, 1894. The Republican county convention met at 1 o'efock today. The convention was very smalt and composed mostly of colored people.

CoL W. A. Albright was nomi nated for the Senate, so mention was made of county officers. A prominent Republican said this evening that a sub sequent convention would be called to consider the nomination of county officers: The features of the week here has been the congressional and judicial conventions for the fifth district. A large number of the best men and staunchest Dem-ccrata in the district have been here, and have given a stimulus to political talk and work.

The nomination rof A. W. Graham for Congress gives marked sat isfaction. His sterling character and personal worth give him the confidence of the people. The re-nomination of Capt.

His denunciation or presi dent Cleveland is the same sweet tune that be sang before the President's re- nomination in wun a tew grace notes thrown in. 4 The butchers have left all their fix tures, books, dec. stacked -up in heaps on the publio floor ot, the market house, and say as the town has taken charge of them they da not dare attemot to move them.

The nark was prettily illuminated. the arrangement ot the booths and stands was tasty and effective and affair was a marked success.

The entertainment was the work of tho ladies of Trinity Church. Sometime ago the municipal authorities rented out the marked stalls at auction, and outsiders, one of them a Raleigh butcher! systematically shut out several stall ocrtipants. The present occupants of the stalls claim to have entered for a period of two years and that their lease extends to 1895. The town author ities think otherwise.

Taylor's unanswerable discussion of the most important subject now before the people of North Carolina. My ob ject is to induce men, well qualified to appreciate a great discussion of this imr portant question, ham pressed wun important duties and great responsibilities, to do like Judge Armfield has done, take time to read thoughtfully How Far Should a State Undertake to Educate." I shall be glad to send a copy to any one who may wish to read it. U. DURHAM. Statesviixe.N.

July nth, 1894. Dr. C. Diiuiam: My dear Doctor, I am much obliged to you for a copy of Dr. Taylor's namnhlet entitled "liow far Should the State Undertake to Educate I have Ion? held opinions similar to those expressed by Dr.

Taylor; but I have held them in a confused and ignorant way, because I had not investigated the matter. I am under great obligations to Dr. Taylor for the vast amount of re search and knowledge which he brings to bear upon the subject. He exhaust the whole matter, and In my opinion, con clusively establishes everr proposition which he lays down. It appears to me that every candid and thoughtful man who carefully reads Dr.

Taylor's pamph let must come to the conclusion: 1st. That under oar constitution and form of government, the education paid for by the State must be absolutely void of religious instruction, even to the ex clusion of the reading the Bible in the schools, 2nd. That; unless infidelity and atheism are to dominate all higher i' education given to our people, the denominational ooUogas mnsi be maintained and sustained. 3d. That in order that the denominational colleges may be maintained, it is absolutely necessary that anymoney given by the State for higher education must be used for matters and things that cannot and will not come into competition with any work that can and ought to be done by tho denominational colleges; and that if institutions that receive State aid, do any work that comes in oompetion with work of denominational colleges, as to this work, then State favored institutions must stand on an exact equality with the denominational colleges; that is, for this work they shall have no State aid.

Nothing is more remarkable about Dr. Taylor's pamphlet than the fair, judicial temper in which it is conceived and expressed. It is in every respect an admi rable paper, and well worthy of the thoughtful consideration of every citizen, I am with much respect, Yours truly, F. Abmfield. THE HERMIT.

NATIONS. Sometniaf of the Manners, Cntttoms and Conditions of the People ot Corea. Poor and forlorn, with little remaining to tell of her former glories, still rubbing her eyes after a sleep of centuries, Corea has awakened to find herself famous, to discover that her geographical position hasj invested her with an importance that her native merit would never nave brought her. and what observers of east ern events have long foreseen has now come to pass, war; is inaugurated be tween China and Japan: the little "lior- mit Nation" will be the battle ground, and will suffer again, as she has in form er times, from the desolation 01 an armed conflict which only remotely interests her. What part she will play in the drama it is vet too soon to determine, but at best it jnust be a mmof one.

The United States naval officers, who lod the expedition against Corea in 1871 says Eustace B. Rogers, paymasters 01 tne United States Navy in Harmr't WttMu, bear witness to the bravery and' tenacity of the Coreans in battle, but at present their army is very small, only 5,000 men and though tntaned and commanded oy Americans, its fighting qualities are still untested. The nation is poor, it has no navv and its cities are defenceless. There is no popular ine higher classes are well versed in the Chinese classics. The missionaries have doubtless accomplished some good, but the time has been too short and the minds of the people so densely steeped in a low form "of Buddhism, mixed up with all manner of superstition and pure paganism, as to be almost without any true re ligious feeling.

In language and rase the Gorean Deoole are more nearly allied to the Japanese than to the Chinese. The civilization (such as it is) written enar- actors and culture, came in remote times Irom the Great Middle Kingdom, and were freely needed to Japan centuries since. In politics, social laws ana cus toms Corea differs from both her neigh bors. The trade of the country is still insig nificant. Foriefcf merchants have ex pressed the opinion that there is plenty of wealth in the hands of the people, but this is largely conjecture.

The Man Who was in all Sort pi Poll- Every one in the sultry waiting room at the union depot felt dull and languid under the July heat, but over on one of the seats two young men were engaged in a discussion of the present ses sion and the power of Congress to im prove the financial situation. A tall, lank man with a long red beard. stopped in front of the young men and. listened for several minutes. Then he touched one of them on the arm and said: The young men both nodded "W-a-1, I see you're a-foolin' with poly- ticks an' sich "Yes." I "Boysj I've bin here a long time." "It seems so." "I sometimes most ginerally knows a thing when I sees hit." The young men nodded.

"Now, I hev fooled with all sorts o' polyticks:" They nodded again. "I'm an old rat in the barn." Nobody spoke. "Yes, gents. I've been through the hull bhtmed business from fust to last, an hit dont amount to a blue bean, 1 tole yer hit don't" "Indeed "Jes ez I wus goin' on to say, gents, I have fooled away the hull o' my life with this here polyticks biznis, an' hit hain't never paid me wuth a cent.

The Populists in Mississippi have adopted the Coxey idea of conducting their various campaigns. A Congressional convention is soon to be held at some out-of-the-way town off the rail ways, and a line of march has been laid ont for each county delegation, eon verging at a point about ten miles from the destination, where all will unite and tramp to the place selected for the norni- nauon 1 "5 mm together.
