FREE SUGAR AND FREE COAL.

House by Large Majorities Indorses Both Propositions. Washington, Jan. 25.— The house on Tuesday determined on the abolition of the duty upon refined sugar, which was passed upon just before the house adjourned Monday night as an amendment to an amendment offered by Mr, Robertson, one of the Louisiana sugar men. A way out of the confusion which existed as to the effect of the amendment adopted Monday night was found after a twohours discussion of the parliamentary situation by submitting the question to the house as to whether the Warner amendment placing refined sugar on the free list should be considered as a substitute for the Roberts on amendment This was decided affirmatively, and then by an overwhelming vote—l6l to 39—in which the republicans joined with the radical democrats against the sugar men and several members of the ways and means committee, the substitute was adopted. With regard to the sugar schedule, therefore, the committee of the whole has abolished the bounty and placed all sugar, both raw and refined, upon the free list When it came to consider the coal schedule, however, the committee fared much better and ail four of the amendments designed to place a duty of from forty to seventy-five cents per ton upon coal were beaten. The debate upon the coal schedule developed a great deal of feeling among the southern members, especially those from Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama, whose states are interested either in coal or iron ore. The iron schedule was next taken up under the order allowing three hours for its consideration. Mr. Oates (dem., Ala.) offered an amendment taking iron ore from the free list and placing a duty of forty cents a ton thereon. The discussion was not ended at adjournment.

SWEPT BY A HUGE WAVE.

Terrible Kxperience of Passengers and Crew of the Normannia in Mid-Ocean. New York, Jan. 25. —The steamer Normannia, of the Hamburg-American Packet company, which sailed from this port on Thursday of last week for Genoa and Naples, returned Tuesday so severely damaged by a “tidal wave” which struck the vessel early on Sunday morning that she was rendered unseaworthy and had to put back to this port in order to secure the safety of the passengers. The damage to the ship is estimated at from $50,000 to SIOO,OOO. A great wall of water towering mountain high swept down on the ship, devastating it in every part—tearing the steel plates on the vessel’s sides as if they were made of paper and rousing the passengers from sound sleep to plunge them into the panic of terror. Many of the passengers were lifted from their berths by the monster wave and tossed about on the crest like chips. Terror-stricken, the men rushed for the boats, while those of the women who did not faint fell on their knees and prayed. The officer of the ship had a struggle to keep many of the passengers from springing into the sea. No one was killed, but the second officer, E. Kaeding, was injured internally, it is feared. He was removed to a hospital as soon as the steamer reached her dock. Six seamen were more or less injured, although not severely. The wave was encountered 700 miles from Sandy Hook at 6 o’clock in the morning.

A Weak Digestion strange as it may seem, is caused from a lack of that which is never exactly digested— fat. The greatest fact in connection with Scott's Emulsion appears at this point—it is partly digested fat —and the most weakened digestion is quickly strengthened by it. The only possible help in . Consumption is the arrest of waste and renewal of new, healthy tissue. Scott's Emulsion has done wonders in Consumption just this way. , Prepared by Scott t Bowne, N. Y. All druggist*.
