Marion Butler for the Lonsr Term
in United States Senate.
THE STATE LEGISLATURE CONVENES.
The Fusionists Control on Joint Ballot
With a Division of Honors Between
the Republicans and Populists.
Other Carolina News.
Eai.eigh, N. C, January 7. The
North Carolina legislature convenes pn
Wednesday with a populist-republican
fusion majority on joint ballot. . Zeb
Vance Walser, of Lexington, one of the
younger of -the republican leaders in
the northwestern section of the state,
will be speaker of the lower braneh.
, Marion Rntlcr,
This esr.ion of the legislature is espe
cially noteworthy in the fact that both
' the members of t ho United States sen
ate are to be elected: the short term to
succeed Senator Jr.rvis. appointed upon
the death of Senator Vance, and the
long term to sm-e.eed Senator Ransom,
whose term of ofiiee expires on the
fourth of March. Democrats having
lost control of the assembly, the longr
term in consequence of an arrange
ment made prior to the state election,
will go to Marion Uutler, the leader of
the North Carolina populists, and the
strongest chanviion of the fusion move
ment." The fig-it for the short term is
between Jetty Prftehard, a young re
publicanrdf the western part of the
state, and a-nunjber of other prcmi- ;
nent men in the councils of that party. !
The chances are in favor of the-former, !
as he has been the nominee of the re- j
publican minority on other occasions. !
A bitter fight will be made, however, j
with possibly disastrous results to the '
straight republican organization in
this state. '.
Marion Butler is quite likely to be a
conspicuous figure in the United States I
senate as well as one of the youngest.
members of that body. lie was bfern in :
Sampson county, North Carolina, in !
18(53, received a good . education and !
then accepted the principalship of the
village academy where he was. educa
ted. When a beardless boy Mr. Butler
boi'ame interested in the Alliance
movement, and has made it stronger in
Sampson and adjoining counties than
in any other part of the state. In 1890
Mrj Butler was elected to the state sen
ate. At the late election the populist,
through y fusion with the republicans
were very successful.
SENATORIAL ASPIRANTS.
A Great Swarm of Them The State And-
itor'g Keport.
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 4. All the re
publican candidates for the United
States senate save two are here. Bets
are offered that not one of the candi- j
dates will have as many as fourteen
votes On the, first ballot in the caucus. 1
None of the candidates claim over that I
number. The reports from Washing
ton that an agreement is made or about
to be made between, Tom Reed and
State Chairman Holton is declared to
have injured Holtons candidacy for the
senate. The positive assertion is now
made that the populists and republi
cans are to caucus jointly all questions
save senatorial choice, and that the
fact of a joint caucus for speaker will
causa the election of V. S. Lusk to the
Speakership.

GENERAL TRADE IS QUIET.
Bradstre.-ts Review of Business for the
First Week of the New Year.
New York, January 0. Bradstreets'
says: There has been no material im
provement in general trade. At large
eastern cities only a moderate volume
of business is reported. Buffalo and Bos
ton inclining to, regard the near out
look the more hopefully. Philadelphia
and Pittsburg are naturally affected
somewhat by later quotations for iron
and steel and Baltimore prefers await
ing orders from commercial travellers
before expressing opinions on the out
look. General trade -is reported quiet at
Charleston, Nashville and Memphis,
with mercantile collections ' fair only.
At Chattanooga and at Atlanta very
little is doing in wholesale lines, the
former reporting manufactures quiet as
a result of prolonged holiday , and the
weather. At Savannah trade is quiet
but improving, and collections are only
fair. Cotton manufacturers are mak
ing some new contracts but - merchants
will act with more conservatism. Au
gusta cotton factories report a fairly
good demand and improved collections
thou gh general trade shows no gain. -

. k
Washington, January 7. A call was
issued by Mr. Allison yesterday after
noon for a meeting of the republican
steering committee of the senate to be
held today in the room of Senator Hale.
The whole situation so far as the sen
ate is concerned,' will be destroyed and
a program on the part of the minority
will be considered. The great majori
ty of the republican members of the
senate are opposed to 0113' further agi
tation of the tariff and the transaction
of any business other than the passage
of the appropriation bills, and it -may
be assumed as a certainty in advance
that the steering committee will so de
cide at its meeting.

THE SENATE'S HAWAIIAN DISCUSSION
The Program in the House Dependent
Upon the Outcome of the Cancos
Upon the Currency Question.
First and Second Days.
Washington, January 7. The pres-
ent week in the senate will probably
be remarkable "more for that which it
will fail to accomplish than for any
thing that may be done. The most sig
nificant feature will be the precipita
tion of the debate that will grow out of
the proposition in the urgency deficien
cy bill, for the collection of the income
JO.l!i wlU. ;jnp come up. however,

There will be a continuance of the
incidental Hawaiian discussion, grow
ing out of the resolution of Senator
Lodge requesting the president to in
form the senate why this government
has withdrawn our warships from Ha
waiian waters, providing Senator
Lodge and those acting in concert with
him are able to carry out their pro
gramme. "
Senate's Unfln'Hhed HuneBd.
The Nicaraguan canal bill, which
seemed to be doomed to interminable
debate, still remains oa the calendar
as the unfinished business, and Senator
Mhchell. of Oregon, has thii iloor tc
address the senate on that subject
today.
But little business will be -.ransaetej'
Tuesday, for immediately afcer the
morning hour the senaie will listen tc
speeches in honor of the late Senatoi
Colquitt, of Georgia. .'
, For these reasons the urgency defi
ciency bill will not be reported to the
senate earlier" than Wednesday, or at
all events, it cannot be called up foi
consideration before that time.. Once
upva debate will commence that .will
continue through the greater part ol
next week, at the most conservative
estimate.
Frocram In the House.
The determination of the programme'
of business in, the house this week will
depend upon the outcome of the demo-
'cratic caucus to be held this afternoon.
In case the caucus should do what if
unexpected and decide againsttlhe pas
sage of the bill, the time of the honsi
can be engaged with the consideration
of the appropriation bill. One of these,
the postoffice bill, is already on tht
calendar, ready to be called up ; the na
val appropriation bill will probably lt
finally agreed upon at this week
meeting of the committee on naval
affairs. j-
