TANCE LOOKING AFTER THE F1KHERS.1
Elilrcids to be Compelled to Haee Automatic Couplers
on Freijht Can.
Washington, August 25. The Senate
spent most of the day talking tariff. Mr.
Aldrich presented a proposition that the
consideration of the tariff bill be continued,
to the exclusion of all other business, except
appropriation bills and conference reports,
to and including September 1, as subject to
general debate, and during September 2, 3
and 4 subject to the five-minute rule in de
bate; that no Senator speak on any one ques
tion more than once, and that on September
5 and thereafter the consideration be con
tinued on the bill or amendments without
debate to and including the third reading,
when three hours shall be a'lowed to each
side for general debate, and then the final
Tote shall be taken on its passage. Mr.
Aldrich farther suggested that the general
debate close on September L At the' sug
gestion oi Mr. Gorman, Sir. Aldrich said he
was willing to continue the general debate
until September 3, which would allow of a
Tote being taken on the 8th.
Mr. Plumb objected to the proposition, as
he thought the time allowed for debate was
too short. Mr. Aldrich thereupon with
drew the notice, but said that he would
ask for unanimous consent to-morrow morn
ing. THE DUTY OS- LEAD.
The tariff bill was then taken up, the
pending question being on imposing a duty
of 1J cents per pound on lead ore and lead
dross; provided that silver ore and all other
ores containing lead shall pay a duty otl
cents per pound on the lead contained
therein, according to sample and assay at
the port ot entry.
Mr. Coke moved to amend by striking
out the proviso and inserting a proviso that
ores containing silver and lead, in which
the lead is of less value than the silver,
shall be admitted free of duty. He said
that the passage of the bill as reported
would destroy the smelting works in Texas,
.Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis; render
useless the refractory ores of New Mexico,
Arizona and Texas; throw a large number
ot men out of employment, and drive from
the United States the trade with Mexico,
valuable not only lor American manufac
turers but lor American farmers.
A QUESTION OF DISCBIMIirATIOS-.
Mr. Reagan and Mr. Carlisle followed
with arguments on the same lines.
Mr. Aldrich asked Mr. Carlisle if he
thought it fair to have one form of lead re
quired to pay a duty of ljf cents a pound,
and to have another form of lead free of
duty.
Mr. Carlisle replied that the question as
sumed that he was in favor of imposing a
duty of 1J cents a pound on lead ore
which was not the case. If he had his own
will lead ore would be free.
Mr. Plumb moved to amend the para
graph by reducing the duty on lead ore
from l cents a ponnd to of a cent He
thought that the Senate was coming to a
point where the system of protection would
result in breaking down certain home in
dustries for the benefit of other industries,
and where the large industries were to de
stroy smaller ones. The smelting interest
was entitled to as much consideration as the
cotton or iron industries, and that interest
was to be injuriously affected by the pro
posed duty. If the mine owners of Colorado,
who had derived so much profit from the
recent silver legislation desired to get still
more benefit by the tax on these Mexican
ores, why did they not propose a duty on
the silver ores ot Mexico?
A LEAD TBTJST MOVE.
Mr. Teller also advocated the adoption of
the paragraph as reported and asserted that
the contest was one between the Lead Trust
(in combination with smelters) and the
miners of the Bocky Mountains. These
miners were 50,000 strong, and tbey con
sumed more of the Hew England products
per capita than any set ot men living any
where else. They consumed more of the
agricultural products of Kansas and Ne
braska, than the whole of Mexico consumed;
and Kansas was indebted to the miners of
Colorado for whatever prosperity she en
joyed. He was not therefore, exactly
pleased when a Senator from that State
insisted that he wanted to secure the trade
of Mexico and was willing to put the labor
of Colorado, Montana and Idaho side by
side with the 40 cent labor of Mexico.
Continuing his argument, Mr. Teller said
that If the lead duty was thrown lrom the
bill there would not be a Republican in that
region in favor of that bill, and that there
fehould not be.
AFFECTING THE SILVER SUPPLY.
Mr. Jones of Nevada said that the most
important feature or the bill for the mining
industries of the country was the duty on
lead and lead ores. Hot only was many
thousands of persons engaged in lead min
ing, but 7 per cent of the silver yield of the
United States came from mines in which
that metal was found in combination with
lead. Of those mines the larger number
would not pav expenses of operation for sil
ver alone. "Without a duty on lead and
lead ores those mines would have tn
abandoned. This would not merely destroy
a great industry, but would seriously affect
the supply of the precious metals which
formed the money of the world. Mr. Jones
paid a warm tribute to the personal charac
teristics of the Americau miners and said
that their labors contributed largely to the
prosperity of the countrv.
At this point the consideration of the bill
was discontinued for the day.
PEOTECTION FOE FABMEES.
Senator Vance during the day presented
an amendment to the tariff bill. In his pre
amble he states that other industries have
been added by the Government, and he
thinks it is now time that the agriculturist
should be encouraged; therefore, he offered
the following amendment:

Extending the Free PoMnl Delivery.
"Washington, August 25.-The Senate

or to cities where the postal receipts amount
to $5,000.

on'a Opinion on he Blatter.
"Washington, August 25. Eepresenta
tlve Caldwell, of Ohio, from the Committee
on Eailroads and Canals, to-day reported to
the Honse the bill agreed upon by that com
mittee to compel railroad companies en
gaged in inter-State commerce, within a rea
sonable time to equip their cars with such
safety or automatic safety couplers as will
not require trainmen to go between the ends
ot the cars to couple or to uncouple them,
and with automatic brakes, so that the
speed of the tram can be controlled by the
engineer.
The report submitted with the bill points
out the fearful loss of life and limb oc
casioned by keeping in use the link and
pin coupling ana hand brake on freight
cars, and says that from statistics of rail
road accidents of this nature, ""We have
the terrible intimation that 20,000 young
men in the nation must suffer painlul or
fatal accidents from these two causes an
nually." The committee appends to its report au
extract lrom a message sent to Congress by
President Harrison, in which he said he
thought it was competent for Congress to
require uniformity in the construction of
cars used in inter-State commerce and the use
of improved safety appliances upon such
cars.
OUT FOB BEVEHUE.
Miles City's Cenini Ketnrna Satisfactory to
the Taxpayers.
rFROJt A STAFF COBBXSrOirDEXT.l
"Washington, August 25. The mu
nicipal authorities of Miles City, Mont.,
have received much comfort officially from
the Census Office. It has been noised abroad
in Miles City that the census enumerators
had only succeeded in finding 979 resident
within the corporate limits. The authori
ties and citizens had not expected that the
results of the census would show that there
were many more people than that in tne
town, but thev were anxious that there
should be at least 1,000 inhabitants, and
they fully expected that the Census Office
would easily find that number.
They had no desire to have as many or
even more citizens than Chicago or the
other big cities. Their ambition didn't run
in that direction. All they wanted was a
population of a thousand or more, so that
they could avail themselves ot the provis
ions of the State law which provides that a
low liquor license shall prevail in towns of
less than 1,000 inhabitants, and a high
license in towns above that limit "What
the City Fathers of Miles City were after
was revenue, and when the census office an
nounced that 1,021 persons had been counted
as residents within the city limits there was
great joy at Miles City.
GETHKG UTOTJBTRTATi STATISTICS.

tFBOX JL STAFF COEKESPONDEST. J
"Washington, August 25. Mr. Mc
Candless, of Pittsburg, was appotnted some
time ago to suspervise the collection of the
statistics of manufactures in Pittsburg.
Owing to a mistake at the time in making
out his commission, his jurisdiction was
limited to the city or Pittsburg alone. To
day this mistake was remedied and a new
commission sent him, covering the whole of
Allegheny county, including the two cities
of Pittsburg and Allegheny.
Mr. Albert B. Miller, of Pittsburg, was
to-day appointed a special agent to assist in
the collection of the coal statistics in Penn
sylvania, at the rate of S3 per day. Most of
these statistics have already been collected.
In fact, the returns from all the big mines
have been received, but there are a large
number of small coal producers, scattered
all over the State from whom figures cannot
be secured by correspondence, and agents
are necessary to get this material.
Mr. Cooke Devol has been appointed a
special agent to collect statistics of manu
factures at Parkersburg, W. Va.
BLAMIKG THE CAFIATK
For the Disaster to the Steamer Sea Wins
In Lake Pepin.
"Washington, August 25. Inspector
General Dnmont has received the report of
local inspectors Knapp and Yeager, who in
vestigated the case of the steamer Sea "Wing,
which capsized in Lake Pepin in July with
such fatal results.
After surveying the- evidence they say
that they are satisfied that nothing could
have been done to save the steamer after the
squall struck her, owing to its sudden and
violent character. They found that Capt
ain David Wetherin, who was
in command of the tteauier,
violated sections 4463 and 4467, and so much
of section 4450, as relates to unskilfulness
by starting out as he did, in the face of an
approaching storm. Also after he had
started out, by not running to the Minne
sota shore where there are good harbors every
mile or so, instead of up the center of the
lake. They therefore revoked his license as
master and pilot, and reported the case to
the United States Attorney for prosecution.
DESTITUTION IN OKLAHOMA.

Baylnc Silver tn Qanntltlei.
Washington, August 25. The amount
of silver offered to the Government to-day
was 1,020,000 ounces. The amount pur
chased was 450,000 onnees as follows: 200,

A HAY-TEVEE PBEVEHTTVE, '
The Ingenious! Device of One of the Many
Sneezing Sufferers.
Dr. "William Thompson, of Fourth ave
nue, is a hay-fever victim, and suffers ter
ribly about this season every year. Before
the 16th of August in each year, be lays in
five or six dollars' worth of medicine. The
fever was two or three days late this year,
but after calling on Prank Calhoun to ex
change notes, and hearing him sneeze, Dr.
Thompson began also. He has invented a
device which he thinks will eventually save
him the yearly infliction, but he didnt have
it perfected iu time for this season. It is a
padded steel sprinir, or clamp, which,
fastened on the nose, prevents the entrance
of the pollen of the rag-weed bloom.
The doctor caught this idea from witness
ing prize fighters whose noses were like
those of the heatbeogods the Psalmist talks
of tbey smelted not being rendered use
Jess iu the business prosecuted by the pugs.
The doctor thought that if a prize fighter
could breathe permanently through hli
mouth there was no reason why he couldn't
during the short time ot the reigu of hay
fever. Hence the invention.

OIL IN THE SOUTH.
A florth Carolina Parmer Thinks He
Has Discovered on His Land
A EICH DEPOSIT OP PETEOLEUH.
The Fluid is Found in a Primitive Shaft,
Sunken Thirty Feet.
EXCITEMENT Iff A TAE HEEL TOWH
rsrscux. telxoram to the .dispatch. i
Geeensboeo, N. C, August 25. For
some days it has been rumored tbat oil had
been found near town, and there was much
excitement in real estate circles in conse
quence, but the location of the discovery
and the name of the owner of the land was
kept profound secrets. This morning,
however, it became known that the dis
covery was on a small farm belonging to
John J. Phoenix, one and a quarter miles
from town. Hundreds have visited the
place to-day, and everyone is convinced
that oil has been found.
Some weeks ago Phoenix, in digging
ditches, discovered oil indications and being
somewhat familiar with oil wells, prosecuted
his search quietly, in the meantime writing
to au uncle, an oil expert, in Pennsylvania,
asking him to come on. He did so and
after a thorough examination of the locality
advised his nephew to bore for oil, assuring
him that he would find it.
CRUDE METHOD OF tVOBKING.
Phoenix last week began to sink a shaft.
This shaft, a crude and primitive aflair, has
reached a depth of 30 feet, ana tne on indi
cations have grown stronger with the depth.
He proposes continuing the shaft to a depth
of 60 feet, and will then arrange for a bor
ing plant. The "find" is on a farm
which embraces 32 acres, and it seems
to be in a split in the granite formation
which runs through this section. The split
is perhaps a mile in widtn. Among those
who visited the shaft to-day were several ex
perts, who pronounced the oil "white sand
petroleum" of good quality, and expressed
the opinion tbat it will be found to be in
abundant quantity.
The smell of oil pervades the atmosphere
for'yards around the shaft, and every bucket
of earth dumped from it is full of oil, while
the oil floats on every bucket of water
brought up. The workman informed your
correspondent that thev were able to stay iu
the shaft only a few minutes at a time owing
to the gas which had accumulated since it
was closed up on Saturday, and that they
found seven feet of water, on which was a
coating of oil half an inch thick.
ADJOINING LANDS SECUEED.
Before he allowed his discovery to be
come known. Phoenix secured options on ad
joining lands and to-day he has been be
sieged with oners to ouy ana to iorm stock
companies to develop the property. The
discovery of oil on the Phoenix place has re
vived interest in the reported oil find near
Germantown, N. C, some time ago. Here
was fonnd a deposit of flexible sandstone
and oil, but the work of developing was
never prosecuted. At the foot of the Sua
ratown Mountains, SO miles from here, a
joint-stock company erected a derrick in
1867, and bored for oil with good prospects.
After reaching a depth of 900 feet the drill
broke off and the work was abandoned.
Excitement here has grown intense. This
afternoon and to-night nothing is talked of
on the streets but oil. Hundreds have
visited the office of your correspondent and
examined the specimens which were brought
from the shaft this evening, and the verdict
is that the oil is of good quality.

Arrest of a Man at ibo Barjjo Offlco
I Acenied of Murder.
New Tobk, August 25. Alexander
Phillipsen, a stout, middle-aged man, is a
prisoner at the Barge Office, suspected of
murder. His arrest recalls the ghastly dis
covery made at the Custom House a number
of months ago, when the hacked body of a
man was discovered in a barrel of lime that
was brought to this country from Denmark
and seized for duties by the customs officials.
The barrel had lain for some days in the
public store before it was opened. The
place from which it came was traced ,by
means of tags and marks on the barrel, and
the news of the discovery was telegraphed
to Denmark.
Phillipsen arrived here on Friday, with
His wife and two children, in the steerage of
the Hamburg steamship Normannia, and,
after registering at the Barge Office, went
with his family to an immigrants' boarding
house in Greenwich street. During a con
versation with the landlord yesterday, Phil
lipsen is alleged to have inadvertently con
fessed the murder of the man found in the
barrel and the shipping of the body to this
country. The landlord informed the immi
gration authorities of the case, and the ar
rest followed at about noon to-day. The
immigration authorities are reticent in re
gard to the affair, and will say nothing
about it until an investigation has been
made. Permission to talk with the prisoner
was refused.

Weak in Value.
Feel your way cautiously t
when prices fall so much they
astonish you.
Nobody's going to give you
$10 worth for $2, or twice $2 -either.
When clothing is
offered at such, queer rates
look into the quality. The
price mayn't look so low if
you do. The goods may be
quite inferior.and such as you
would have no use for. You ,
may think another reduction
wouldn't hurt them.
Expect cheap quality and
workmanship. They're both
partners in cheap grades of
clothing.
They stand no show if com
pared with our dependable
make. It's strong and high in
quality, while low in price.
All our prices for odd lots
are lower down.
