Colonel Gates kept bis word and de-

morning, but Mr. Breckenridge moved that
the matter be postponed until to-morrow,
which motion was adopted and Colonel

It is the plan to postpone it again to-

Senator Turpte returned from Indiana
last night Qe says the state has never in
its factory been in suoh a political ferment;
that SVen
women axd children
have organised into drum corps and socie-
ties to further the Interests of one or the
other parties, and that the state is one mass
of campaign orators. He says, however, the
democrats have already done the work, and
that Cleveland's majority will be between
10,000 and 20,000. Senator Turple is the man
who defeated Candidate Harrison lor the
senate.
The democrats of Washington are very

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS,
senate.
Washington, October 16.—The senate at
12.10 resumed consideration of the tariff
bill (there being twenty senators present),
and was addressed by Mr. Cockrell.
In oonnectlon with his speech Mr. Cock-
rell filed a communication from tho com-
missioner of internal revenue to the effect
that the removal of the tax on alcohol used
in the arts and sciences would lead to ex-
tensive frauds on revenue, as it would not
be difficult to demethylate the wood with
alcohol and make it fit for consumption.
Mr. Allison questioned the correctness of
the commissioner's statement and said that
the system of using methylate spirits in
the arts was allowed in England and Ger-
many, and that testimony in those coun-
tries was that the spirits could be deraothy-
lated only by distillation.
Mr. Spoouer next addressed the senate.
His speech consisted largely of extracts
from testimony given before the board of
trade and the other bodies before the Eng-
lish parliamentary commission, showing
that the results of free tradv lu its home
were not satisfactory, and that there was a
clamor for its overthrow apd a demand for
its abandonment. He intended to prove,
he said, that under the influence of free
trade in Great Britain there had been for
tho twelve years past, with slight intermis-
sions, a ."erious depression in industry and
trade, and a depression iu agriculture which
defied a parallel. As against it the picture
drawn in the report of the royal commission
of the condition of England under free trade,
he pointed to the" marvelous growth and
prosperity of the United States under the
protective srstem.
The house ameiylmenKto the senate joint
resolution authorizing tliS secretary of war
to protect the Washington aqueduct tunnel
was concurred in.
After a brief executive session the senate
adjourned. N.
HOUSE. \ v
Mr. Oates of Alabama called up hiat-enolu-
tion for final adjournment on the I7th
instant. He ottered an amendment fixing
the date as the 18th instant.
Mr. Snowden of Pennsylvania rnovfyi to
make the date tho 24th instant.
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee said that.it
had been the custom to refer such resolu-
tions to the committee on ways and mean^
and he moved the reference. \
Mr. Oates—Show me and show the house
tho committee on ways and means.
[Laughter.] It is not here.
Mr. Richardson—1 see four or five mem-
bers of the committee here.
Mr, Oates—That is not the committee.
Mr. Richardson — 1 am certain that a
quorum of the committee can be obtained.
Mr, Oates referred to tho tact that he had
_ offered an adjournment resolu-
tion, which had been referred to tho ways
and means committee and had never boen
reported back.
Mr. McMillan—I see that wben Mr. Oates
offered hit first adjournment resolution it
was the concurrent judgment of the demo-
cratic members, after mature deliberation,
that the resolution should not be reported
back favorably by the ways and means com-
mittee. There was not a democratio mem-
ber or person of that political faith In the
country who did not say that the action of
the ways and means committee in refusing
to report the resolution was wise. Had tho
resolution been passed congress would haVe
adjourned before the sonate committee had
reported the tariff bill, and the house bill
would have been fired at during tho cam-
paign. Now, the senate admitted that there
should be a reduction of $73,000,000.
Mr. Oates thought the gentleman should
should make some exceptions. There were
gentlemen who thought the action of the
committee unwise.
Mr. Breckinridge of Kentueky moved to
postpone further consideration of the re-
solution until to-morrow, whioh motion was
agreed to by a vote of 23 to 21.
In the consideration of the morning hour
Mr. Plumb of niinois, from tho committee
on labor, called up the bill to settle the ac-
counts of laborers under the eight-hour
law.
Mr. McMillan of Tennessee moved to ad-
journ, and on this motion the republicans
demanded yeas and nays and succeeded in
defeating it—yeas 27, nays 81.
Mr. Oates said that he had failed In his
effort to get the house to adjourn and he
Would now like to adjourn himself. He
asked leave ot absence for the remainder of
the session. This was granted, as was also
a similar leave to Mr. Lauham of Texas.
The house then at 1,10 adjourned.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL COLLEGE.
^rospect, for the Erection and Establish-
ment of tho Institution Good.
san ANtOoto, Tex., October 16.—About a
year ago it was determined to establish a
Methodist Episcopal college in this city, to
be kuown as the University of San Antonio.
It was the intention to purchase suitable
grounds, to erect handsomo and commo-
dious buildings, to secure tihe best faculty
obtainable, nnd in short to place it on a par
with the best sectarian Institutions in the
country. With this end in view Rt. Rev.
Bishop Mallatien engaged on behalf of the
churoh w fu/uish $50,000 in cash as soon as
an equivalent sum in money on hand was
obtained through Slibsejlption by the cltl-

Arrival of Congressman Martin.
Texarkana, Ark., October 16.—Hon. w.
it. Martin, congressman from the Second
Texas district, arrived iu town to-night on
his way home in Athens from his labors at
the national capital. A reporter who called
on the distinguished gentleman at his
rooms at the Cosmopolitan was received
with a hearty "howdy," as were a large
number of other callers who crowded into
the hotel to shake the hand of the fumed
honest Texan. He is in splendid health and
spirits, and politically expressed himself as
particularly happy at the present democratic
outlook. Ho feels no fears for Indiana, and
counts on at least 20,000 majority for Cleve-
land in New York state. Ho is a typical
farmer in the fullest sense. He will leave
for home at 12 o'clock to-night, and will ad-
dress his home constituency at Athens on
his arrival.

ries and Political meetings
Throughout tho Stato.
Houston, Tex., Ootober 16.—The result of
the primaries in this city in connection
with the reports from other counties whioh
have acted, make it evident that Colonel
Stewart will go Into the convention on the
23d instant with a very decided majority.
The time between the convention and the
eleotlon in November will bo so,'limited as to
prevent the entire restoration of party har-
mony after a very heated anil close contest,
and I think I can add a week to this limited
time, and aid thereby in restoring proper
fealty to the uomlnee by saying now thaj, lam
no longer iu tho race, and urging my friends
solidly on November 6
togd 'o the polls solidly or
and support Colonel Stewart.
That this letter may not bo interpreted
into an effort on my part to get credit for
this course, I datdre to say that I deserve
none and would not do this were I not de-
feated, and only do so to allay ns soon as
possible the passions engendered by a heated
contest.
I thank my friends hero and in tho dis-
trict for their zealous support and fidelity,
and beg them to forget the personal con-
test aha look only to the party to which we
belong. The fight has been long and the
fortunes of the contest decided in many
countics by a very close vote, but I trust to
see the ranks close up before Novembor and
thereby snow how democrats cau divide and
fight within the ranks aud yet close the
phalanx against a common foe.

1 suggest that in printing the tickets no
difference be made as to tho character of
electors, whether from the stftte at large or
from districts, and therefore tl
places of residence do not appear
upon the tickets. The heading of the tick-
ots should simply be Democratic Ticket,
next should follow electors for president

electors; as to the preparation of tho bal-
ance of the ticket for state, county and other
officers, of course that is generally under-
stood.

here and there,
a lively CONVENTION.
Woodville, Tex., October 18.—Last Sat-
urday was a big day to the people of Tyler
county. At an early hour the delegates from
the various precincts began to arrive, aud at
the time of calling the convention to order
the court-house was crowded to its utter
capacity with delegates and speotators.
After perfecting permanent organization
and appointing committees on credentials
and basis of representation, a motion was
made and carried to adjourn until 1 p. m.
After adjournment the assembled crowd be-
tan to call for J. H. Kirby to make an ad-
ress. Ho mounted the platform aud began
to talk, when a Stewart pugilist raised his.
voice to its height, began to curse and yell,
and swore by the 30,000 k rids
of Greece that no speech should bo
made. Mr. Kirby remaiuod silent for a faw
moments, but finally, when forbearance
ceased to he a virtue, ho uicked up a book
lying on tho rostrum and threw it with all
his might at his antagonist. The man
sprang toward him liKO a tiger, but no
sooner done than the Hon. J. H. Kirby
pulled his pistol, and had it not been for
the immediate Interference of friends aud
officials a serious rencontor would have
been the inevitable rer-uit. Times looked
squally. It reminded your correspondent
of the days:
When civil fury first grow high
And men foil out they knew riot why;
Whon hard words, jealousy and fears
Brought them together by their oafs.
Peace was finally restored and tho crowd
dispersed.
At 1 o'clock tho convention was again
called to order. The rcportsof tho different
committees were read and adopted, and on
motion tho delegates appointed to the con-
gressional convention were instructed to
vote first, last and always for Charles Stew-
art for congress.
Mr. Kirby was again invited to address
the convention, which iie did iu his usual
able manner. Adjourned.
