To-day, after a session of more *'? :n two weeks, the Senate of I North Carolina, sitting as a High Court of Impeachment, adjourned sine die, and David M. Furches,! Chief .Justice, and Robert M. Douglas, Associate Justice, of the Supreme Court, stand acquitted of "high crimes and misdemean ors in office." On tlw first article of impeach ment 27 Senators voted "Guilty," and 23 voted "Not Guilty." All the Republican and Populist Senators, toother with the fol lowing 12 Democratic Senators voted for acquittal: Brown,Cur rie, Fousliee, Gl< un, Henderson, Leak, London, Long, McAllister, Mclntyre, StringHeld and Sugg. The respondents, Justices Fur ches and Douglas, were charged with violating the Constitution and the statute laws of North Carolina in issuing a writ of mandamus for the payment of the salary of Theophilus White, deposed Chief Shell Fish Inspec tor. The trial haw been one of the most noted in the annals of our i State history. The counsel on I either sfde are the ablest lawyers in the State. The closing speech for the defense was made by Frank Osborne, Esq., ex-Attor nev General. The closing speech for the prosecution wits made by j Hon. C. B. Watson, Democratic1 nominee for Governor in Both these speeches were able and convincing. In the opinion of many who beard all the speeches. Mr. James H. I'ou made tne greatest speech of the trial. Hisspeech was able, logical and convincing and showed careful study of all the law bearing on the subject. It j was the effort of a great mind and shows that Mr. Pouhasno! superior among all the great1 lawyers of North Carolina. It | was delivered with that earnest ness and precision characteristic of Mr. Pou and held the closest attention of ail present during the entire three hours. It was truly one of greatest speeches ever delivered in North Carolina. T. J. L. The News and Observer caught many an eye last Sunday in its special edition. Many flattering remarks come forth as page by page was turned in reading and looking for familiar faces of Sena tors and Representatives. The < )bserver is always on the alert and its patrons should appre ciate and do appreciate the fact that its able editor gets out so good a paper. The papers, with large heading announce the capture of Agui naldo. General Frederick Funs ton was the lucky man to find "Aggie'' in his hiding and land him in Manila.

(Thurs day)?General Frederick Fun ston's daring |iroject for tiie cap ture of Aguinaldo in hin hiding place in the Province of Isabella, Island of Luzon, has proved com pletely successful. Aguinaldo was captured there March 2.'lrd. Tin United States gunboat Vicksburg, Commander K. H. Harry, with General Funston and Aguinaldo onboard, arrived here this morning. How this daring capture was! affected is shown in the following dispatch from Manila under date of the 28rd instant: "General Funston is now en gaged in a daring project which promises to be the greatest and most romantic achievement of his eventful career. "In January, from his hiding place in the Province of Isabella, Aguinaldo wrote letters tuath ematizing the sub-chiefs who had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. Later, Agui-j naldo ordered certain insurgent forces in Southern Luzon to join j him at a rendezvous in Isabella1 Province. The rebel entrusted with these orders secretly negoti- j ated with the Americans. On securing necessary information, General Funston planned Agui naldo's capture and, with Gener-1 al MacArthur's authorization,1 proceeded two weeks ago to make the attempt. "General Funston, with Sur-' geon Major Harris,Captain New-' ton, of the Thirtv-fourth infan tr; Lieutenant Mitchell, of the Fortieth infantry: six veteran scouts, ami a company of na tive scouts, all picked men, em barked 011 the gunboats Vicks burg, and were landed 011 a re mote beach above Haler. It was arranged that Aguinaldo's emis sary with the native scouts should pass themselves off as in- j surgent troops who, having cap tured General Funston and otn ers were taking them as prison ers to Aguinaldo. At the right time, when brought before Agui-! naldo, General Funston was to give a signal when the tables were to be turned and Aguinaldo was to be seized." The Throne of the Sultan Tottering Threatened by Foes at Home and Abroad. London, March 27.?Advices] received here from Constantinople} are to the effect that affairs are1 rapidly reaching a dangerous pass there. Turkish finances are in inextri cableconfusion. All Government salaries are from six to eight I months in arrears. Upwards of a million Turkish pounds are{ due for war material, while the military expenditure is daily | increasing, in order to cope with the rebellion in the Province of Yemen, in Southern Arabia, and j the possible rising in Macedonia. There is no doubt that the Ottoman troops received a severe check at the hands of the Arab insurgents, who in a manifesto denouncing the Sultan, proclaim ed his brother, Monammed lteshad Effendi, to be Sultan, with the title ot Mohammed Y. The Young Turks party have adhered to the Arabian procla mation and the open enmity to Abdul-Iiamid, the Sultan, has spread to the palace and the ; Sultan's advisers. Izzet Bey is said to be preparing for flight. The patrols of Constantinople have been doubled. Moham medans and (Christians are arrest ed hourly, and large numbers j are daily shipped to Asia Minor. The tension between Bulgarians and Mussulmans in Macedonia is extreme. It is reported that an other band of marauders has crossed Bulgaria into Macedonia. Those who read Mr. J. H. Pou's s]>eech on the impeachment ol J udges Furches and Douglas, car attest to the masterly effort hf made.

Raleigh, N. P., March 2(5.?In t lie Court of Impeachment today, James H. Pou spokeforfhe pros ecution and ex-(iovernor Jar vis and Hon. Frank I. Osborne for the defence. All three speeches were easily, in many respects, the most powerful yet delivered. The keynote of Mr. Pou'e argu ment was that Judges Furuhes and Douglas should lie impeach ed for manifesting a partisan motive in their construction of the White shell-fish commission case, and for issuing a mandam us on the treasurer. F.\-(iovernor .larvis said, in speaking for thedefence, he would not say there was politics in the prosecution, but would ask the Senatois on their consciences if the respondent judges had been Democrats would the impeach ment ever have been heard of? Osborne's speech for the defence was in progress when the Senate took recess until to-morrow, his is pronounced the crowning ora torical feature of the argument by counsel, and many pronounce his presentation of the case un controvertible. He defied the prosecution to show where the accused judges has violated the'r oath of office in a single instance; their record showing that thev had discharged their duty in ev- i ery instance to the best of their ability, and then if error had been committed?and what judge \ had not committed error?they c ' not in the light of any pre i *? be impeached. If* they v\ .... would mean the degrada tion and destruction of the judic iary. He spoke only about half an hour and will conclude to morrow. Hon. C. 1$. \\ atson will close for ' the prosecution. It is expected a night session will be held to morrow in order that a vote may be taken by the Senate and the trial formally concluded. It is generally con ceded that a majority will vote in favor of impeachment, but there is abundant doubt as to their being two-thirds majority necessary for impeachment. Raleigh, N. C., March 27.?I Interest in the impeachment j trial of Chief Justice Furches and ' Associate Justice Douglas is growing, The lobbies and gal leries were crowded and hundreds were turned away. Prominent! citizens were here from all parts of the .State to witness the clos-! ing scenes of the great trial. Hon. Cyrus B. Watson is now ! closing argument for the defence. He spoke two hours this after-1 noon and will close to-morrow, j The Senate will proeeed imme diately to roll call and ballot on the question of impeachment. * Opponents of impeachment, other I than counsel for the defence.' have not been at all confident of acquittal of the judges until to-day, but great confidence is manifested to-night; many who favor impeachment are ready to accede that the Senate will fote to acquit. This change is largely due to the masterly argument of Hon. F. I. Osborne for the de fence. in th t it has elicited ex pressions from various Senators by which their vote can be easily i anticipated. It is claimed bv | some conservative men that there ! will be not less than twenty-four I votes for acquittal; only sixteen | will prevent iinpeachment. Hon. C. R. \V atson's speech ad i vocating impeachment is a strong I effort and is being listened to I with close attention, i It is expected that the whole | afternoon to-morrow will be con sumed in taking a ballot, a# almost every Senator will claim 11 the right to explain his vote.
