mien Before Congress.
Col. James M Gure, of Syraouee,
N. Y., talked to the tar If committee
about mica Three-fourths of the
mica used here was produced in the
North Carolina mirei, he said. Mica
began to be imported from India in
1882, and the amount brought in had
steadily increased, resulting in a very
heavy decrease of the American pro
duction. It was wholly a produot of
labor, and could be laid down in New
York from Calcutta at less cost than
from the North Carolina mines. The
prioe had been reduced fully 40 per.
The North Caroliia and New
Hampshire people could not compete
with the India laborers, and they
asked for a specific duty of 50 per
oent a pound on all mioa and mica
waste. A ton of mica, aa it
oame from the mine, might be
worth $lO or $2,000, and it w»f
difficult for an expert to estimate the
value within 1,000 per eent. It was
sold all the way from 80 cents to $5 a
pound. Mioa of the sizas need in
stoves sold for from 30 oents to about
$3 50 a ton.
001. Gere paid for mica in North
Carolina an average of perhaps sl,
000 a ton. He showed a parcel of
mioa out ready to go in a atov», and
Mr. MoMUin fiignred oat that the
daty he asked on it was about 65 per
oent. He never knew of better or
larger mioa than was found in New
Hampshire and North Carolina, and
there was an abundant supply for all
our needs.
Richmond’* Colonist 8011,

The coming society event of the
season in Richmond is the grand oo
lonial ball on the 29 h. It will be
given nnder the auspices of the ladies’
colonial assembly of Virginia, and
will be to Richmond what the New
Year’s McAllister bsll of the 400 was
to Nsw York. A small feminise so
ciety war has already grown ont of
it. Two of the lady committee chair
man are young married beauties end
queens of society. One of these for
mnlated.the programme of the dances,
and she proposes to open the ball
with the minuet, which she will lead
with ex Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, both
ladies and gentlemen, sixteen oouples,
appearing in full colonial oc s
tame. other queen, chairman of
the reception committee, also aspires
to tbe distinction of leading the
minnet, uot with ex Gov. Fits, but
with Gov Pnil McKinney. The letter
lady, not knowing of the arrangement
of the former to lead with exGev
Fitz, sent an invitation asking Gov.
Phil to open with her.
Here arose tbe conflict between the
society supporteis of the ex and the
actual governors, and now all upper
tendom in Richmond ia agog with the
merry war. Chairman No. 1, who
favors ex Gov. Fits, learning that
Chairman No. 2 had invited Gov.
Phil, wrote that lady a sharp note, to
which she received an equally curt
and keen reply. Gov. Phil acknowl
edged No. 2’s invitation and regretted
that he was inoapaeitated from danc

daring the war, and was foroed to de
oline. This, of course, will settle the
matter in favor of ex-Gov. Fi’z and

HRATION BILL IN THC SENATE.
By Telegraph to tbe News and Observer.
Washington, J»n. 16
The Senate ha* passed a coue-,
resolution reported from t*-• **
mittee on finance, ieque«' n„ it.; * >
retary of the Treasury not to -
any steps towards mak ng a »*o.
lease of the seal fisheries un l
February 20th.
Among the bills reported from th*
committee and plaord on tu» calen
dar were the following:
Appropriating $40,000 for a statue
in Washington of James Malison.
For the removal of th* Indian
prisoners in east ((-Jeronimo’s land) to
Fort Sill, Ind Territory
The Senate then took up the bill
introduced by Mr. Butler on Decem
ber 12 th to provide for the emigra
tion of persons of eolor from the
Southern States.
Mr. Butler proceeded to address
the Senate. He proposed to diaouss
the subject, he said, entirely outside
of party lines and to make a frank
dispassionate statement of faots and
experiences. If others took upon
themselves to give the discussion a
partisan or sectional coloring the re
sponsibility would rest with them.
To his mind it was too grave a sub
ject to be distorted by party con
sideration or confined within the nar
row boundaries and limits of party
lines. It rose above party or cabal
and deserved to be held above Mo
tions. Cupidity had brought the
Africans here, cupidity had inveiled
the Chinamen heie and cupidity had
driven him out. The Indian
—*3ol stT —lere »nd would
not be reduced to slavery
and so the Indian was hdlßded and
corralled. He was hunted tfid cor
rolled now but he was still bert»* n d
a menace. Wnat was to be done with
the Indian?. Make a citizen of him?
Give him the ballot with full c vii
and political tightb? Why not? The
ladian was here before the white
man, African or Mongolian. He
spoke of the granting of suffrage to
the colored man as a or*z> which
came on him in time of battle but
as having been neither wise nor judi
cious. But the act was done, and he
could not now see how is w s to be
undone. He would not disease the
responsibility for it He would ad
mit, for the sake of argument, that
both sections and both politics' par
ties were responsible.
Some persons who held a high
rank in the intellectual world
held that in the history ot the Afrioau
race in this country was to be seen
the hand of Gjd for toe acojmpiish
rnent of a great purpose in another
Hemisphere. Events, Butler said,
appeared to be shaping themselves in
a manner to justify sueh oono’uaions
the race question raised bj tbe atti
tude of tne two races toward eaob
other was a burning evidence that
tbe issue was not oonfined to any lo
cality, section or party. What was
to become of the 30J 000 Indiana in
ch s country and tbe 100 000 China
men was a d.ffioult problem, bun the
most profound icqniry applied di
rectly the pending bil', and that was,
what was to be tbe fate of the six or
eight million negroes in this country ?
They were cit s ns; they had
tbe ballot, they had ail
civil and political rights
which white men had and which were
denied to other oolored races. Would
the oolored people in the United
States (-ie asked) be able to maintain
themseives on an equal f toting with
white men, and so aa not to jeopard
z* the wall being of Amerioan insti
tution.? The opinion appeared to be
growing that they could not. An
honest effort should be made to ascer
tain why not, and to determine what
was bast to t>9 done. <( The interests
of both races reqoired thft the prob
lem should be oarefully weighed and
fairly dealt with. He confessed that
the problem oppressed him with its
gravity and difficulties. It was too
serious to be tr fled with, and too
argent to be ignored or neg
lected. Mr. Butler referred
to the absenee of colored
people from all high positions in this
oountry, and saw in that fact proof of
unrelenting, unforgiving, inourable
race prejudice. If anjbody, he said,
had predicted before the war that the
Southern States would, withia a few
years, be represented in both houses
of Congress by men who were then
slaves, he wouid have been laughed
at and derided as negrophibist; and
if, after many negroes were in Con
gress, it had been preduted that, in
ten years, not one negro wonld be
sitting in either house, prediction
would have had few believers. And
so, if any oue predicted today that
within half a century, not a full blood
ed, genuine negro would ba fouud in
the U iited State, he would not
be believed; and yet there were men
who expected that very thing. It
was unsafe, therefore, to enter the
domain of prophecy on the ques
tion. Scenes shifted eo rapidly, and
events followed each other with such
anforseen precipitations that he be
came almost dumbfounded by his
one kaleidoscope and was impressed
with the profound sense of human
inability to shape and oontro ev ute

Mr. M K aley, from the eomdt&ee
on rales reported a resolution for the
appointment of a committee on the
World’s to consist of 13 mem
bers, which committee shall within
three days report a plan by which the
House can determine the site of the
proposed fair and subsequently re
port a bill providing for the fair.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, as a minority
of the committee reported substitute
resoiutiuos as follows:
Whereas, on the IB’.h and 20th days
cf December and at other time?, the
H . use referred to the committee on
foreign affairs divers bills, petitions

committee has g v«n an extensive

Res jived, That the committee on
foreign affairs be instructed to report
a re*o*u ion p oviding a method of
selecting ’he l;ca!itv of the World’s
Fair f 1892 by a vote of the House
of Riprr-sentstives
1 W net her said fair sfca'l be held
Etet’or Wcßt of t ee Alleghany Moun

2. The se’eciiion of the plaoe for
the location of said fair.
After such vote shall have been
taken, the oommfttee, at the earliest
possible day, shall report a bill pro
viding for the World’s Fair in 1892,
to be neld at the plaoe selected as
above provided.
Immediately a lively debate began
in whioh the friends of eaoh of the
four oities contesting Tor the location
of the fair took part.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, favored
the majority resolution. He said
that prior to the appointment of the
committee on foreign affairs, the gen
tlemen representing the competing
cities had entered into e oompact
that a special committee should
be created. All that St. Lonis
asked was that the speoial
committee should b) appointed by
the Speaker and that fthat committee
should contain an equal numbar of
friends of the four cities competing
for the fair. The gentlemen might
rest assured that no representative of
Missouri or no friend of St. Louis,
would ask that that oit* sbonld have
any advantage. She needed none. If
her friends could not secure the site
without violating their oompact, St.
Louis did not want it. He asked thst
the agreement b 9 carried out in good
faith, aud that the majority report be
adopted.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, denied
that there has been any oompaot be
tween the representative of the com
peting oities. It was true that they
had agreed to request the
Speaker to call a meeting of
the Oommitee on Rules in order to
create a speoial oommittee, but the
only intention of that agreement was
that the oommittee might sit during
the holiday recess.
Mr Hstohcharacterize 1 Mr Spring
er’s argument as the “speoial plead

The Representatives did not know
the gentlemen they had treated with
wure looking around tor loop holes
though whioh to crawl out of an

Vl*. Spri get denied 'ha there had
ba- * 6 J u m H* denied the
oi any gcnt**iacn so paeet in
a hotel parlor and make a oompact to
bind the members of the House.
Mr. Hateh replied that if the Rep
resentative* of Chicago had not in
teuueu so keep the eompsot they
should never have invited honorable
men to meet them.
Mr Turner, of New York, strongly
opposed Mr. Cannon’s proposition
that the Honse shall first vote on the
question of loosting the site east or
west of the Alleghany Mountains. It
was an unfair attempt to force mem
bers living west of the Alleghenies
(where the first ohoioe might not be
the marvel by the lake) to vote to
hold the World’s Fair west of these
mountains, and then the friends of
Chicago expected those living east to
f’O to their help. Who had ever be
ore heard of dividing the East
against the West? It was bad enough
when the South divided against the
North. Here was a proposition to
form another sectional line and it
oame in the gnise of fair play, and
those who were unfortunete enough
to be in a minority (though it was a
stroßg minority) who lived east of
the Alleghenies stood in their place
to objeot to unnatural alliances
against their rights- (Applause )
Mr. Crisp oritic'zed Mr. Cannon’s
proposition that tbe House should
vote the fair, east or west
of the Alleghenies, as being unfair to
Washington and New York. Tbe oom
pact between the representatives of
four oities was again brought into
discussion and some sharp sparring
occurred between Messrs. Hatch and
Cannon, finally Mr. Cannon modified
his resolution by striking ont the
olause requiring a vote to be first
taken on locating the fair east or
west of the Allegheny Mountains.
The vote was then taken on sub
stituting Mr. Cannon’s resolution for
that reported by Mr- McE uley aud
it was defeated. Yeas 14 J; nays 142
Mr. Springer, rising to a question
of privilege, said that he had kept a
dose tally of the vote and his tally
did not agree with the official tally
without impugning anyone be asked
far a recount.
A recount reversed the former re
suit and a substitute was agreed to;
yeas 137, nays 134
Then much confusion ensued as to
tbe next str%p to be taken in parlia
mentary proceeding- Many members
contended that tbe n? xt vote should
be taken on the M -K Dley resolution
tib amended by the eubstiin
tion the_Oannan resolution but
the Speaker' 'heitr~
stated that the next vote was upon
sabstitnting the majority resolution
(as amended) for the or<g nai reso u
tion referred to the Committee
on Rules. . The vHe was
watched with intense interest
and when it was known at
the end of the roll call that the reso
lution had been defeated by a tie
vote, Mr. Springer, who in
the affirmative, changed his vote to
tile negative is order to be ab'o to
move a recoDs : deration The substi
tute was rejected —yeas 133, uays 135
Mr. Springer moved to reconsider,
and Mr. McKinley moved to lay that
motion on the table, pending which
the House, at 4 50, adjourned.

Washington, Jan 14 —Senator
Yanoe, of North Carolina, has very
deoided views on the “/aoe question/’
and he will probably give them to the
oountry in his characteristic style be
fore the present Congress terminates.
He differs from Senators Hampton
and Butler materially as to the best
means of settling the negro problem
He contends that nothing substantial
oan be accomplished in that direction
by the legislation contained in tbe
several bills now pending in Con
gress. “It is not a question,” says
he “that can be settled by long
speeches and complicated statutes,
but it is one that must be ltft en
tirely to the Southern people to work
out in their own way and in their
own time. Our Republican friends
on the other Bide of the Sanate cham
ber must have confidence ia us and
be patient with those men in tbe
Southern States who are honestly
and hopefully working to bring about
a better oondition of things. Those
of us in the South who have been
brought in contact with the negro
ever since we were born are batter
able to work out this problem than
those gentlemen on the other side of
the chamber, who are actuated en
tirely by political motives aud the
desire for personal notoriety. If they
will let ns alone an 1 keep their con
taminating agents away from the ool
ored people of the South the probli m
will work itself out to the satisfaction
of all concerned.
“It is this constant interference on
the part of Northern politicians,” con
tinned tbe Senator, “.hat causes most
of the trouble among the oolored peo
pie of the South. Why, at this mo
rn mt I hav * in my desk letters from
oolored men in my Sr ate asking
oue to see a certain republican Sena
-4* or about Eome money claimed to
ba due for political work
daring the .last campaign
I , appears that these oolored men
ware employed to do certain work for
the republican managers in the last
contest, aud were promised a money
consideration for the labor performed.
Times are bard and crops are not the <
best down my way, so these republi

the Senate, “I am almost too te*dfi£r
hearted to do such an nnoharitable
piece of business The question in my
mind is which will suffer tbe most?
The Senator, upon being brought
face to face with such an unrighteoae
debt, or the poor darkies being kept
ont of their bard earned money.”
The Senator does not believe in the
Morgan proposition to send the negro
back to Africa Such a scheme will
uot, in his estimation be sanctioned
by a m»j >rity cf the white peop’e of
the Souinern States. He does uot ba
lieve the negroes want or demand
equality, and thinks they sr -
satisfied to move along in
their own channels of life un
til the Northern politic '.a- s fi 1 their
minds with ideas of political su
premacy over tbe whites. ‘-It might
as well be understood mw.” adds
Mr. Vauoe, “that the white piople of
the South cannot and w.ll not submit
to anything of that kind. It would
block the wheals of progress in the
South* and would destroy that kind
feeling that slid exists in so many
plaoeft between the former master
and the servant. A large majority
of the colored people there are very
well satisfied with their present lot
snd if they are let alone they will work
out their own salvation among the
people who have aotnally done mor«
for them in the past than their new
and over zaalous political friends at
the North. If any of the Northern
leaders are anxious to have one-half
of the negro population of the South
transferred to the Northern and
Western States the Southern people
will not oomplain, but will ooutin ue
to treat well those who remain be
hind.”

Cairo, 111., Jin. 16 —Three hun
dred persons at Oarmiue have been
compelled to leave their homt<H by a
sudden rise ia tbe Little Wabash
river, and it is feared that still larger
numbers will ba foroed to abtudon
their dwellings and thk9 refuge on
high ground The river is out of its
bauks and tbe northern part of the
town is to a depth of twenty
feet in some plaoes and from seventy
five to one hundred houses have a 1
been vacated, people set king refuge
in the spare rooms of their neigh
bors in the southern part of the
town. Vast s o' lo wland and
tnaadow are under water, and a num
ber of animals have been carried
away or drowned, and other drift
borne down stream by the raging
waters indicate that tbe farmers have
suffjred freely. Much hay on the
bottom lands have been ruined. It
is reported that Iho worst is yet to
come and that the people in towns
along the Little Wabash are prepar
ing for the wcr.it. At Corwin it is
expected that the river will rise fif
teen feet higher. If this does hap
pen the result will be appaiiirg.
