1 - rUBLISHHD DAILY EXCEPT HONDAT r- bt ' ' , cllAS. B. JONES, Editor and Proprietor. 3 Eittbbxd at thb Poeromci in Chablott, N. C, a UtOOKD CLASS Matter. THK SENATE. Uusiness Tbat Will Engage ike Aliea - ttn ot the Extra Sestf 9d. Washington, March 16. The Serin ate is likely to devote some of its epare time daring the present week to the consideration of foreign affairs. It is expected that two or three trea ties of minor importance, and in re spect to which there can be little difs ference of opinion, will be reported from the committee an foreign rela tions, and taken up by the Senate in executive session during the week. Amone them will probably be the treaty relating to the boundary line I between this country ana Mexico, i tv nrovidine for the readiu- I lication of the Weil and LA ADra - jt . -wtT s T a l claim and the Manderson resolution calling for information in regard to Central American affairs may be reported and discussed. The more important of the pending treaties, however, , among which are the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty and that relating to the international patent rights system, will be held back until the regular session. The "backbone", resolution, offered Jby Senator Van Wyck, will doubtless be further dis cussed tomorrow. It is probable that all the public business which the Sen ate has in hand will be disposed of within three or four days of discus sion, and the body will then only await the pleasure of , the executive, and wUl adjourn as soon as his im portant nominations have . been re ceived and acted upon. SENATE YESTERDAY. 1 Senators Teller and Tan V yck Make j the Backbone Discussion Interesting. Washington, March 16. Senate. ' j, vBjair offered a resolution authorizing 1 a continuance of the investigation of - the differences between capital and j labor. He said the investigation was s r practically concluded, and the ex I tension was desired for the purpose or mating a report. Under objection by Cockrell, con sideration was postponed until to morrow. Van Wyck's backbone resolution was laid before the Senate and Eustis made a speech declaring the grant illegal. "Teller defended the action of the President in ordering, - and the In terior Department in issuing patents for the Backbone land grant. Van Wyckoon took part in the debate, which thereafter became largely personal between Teller and Van Wyck, the latter charging Teller .with acting in the interest of railroad . corporations,' in a number of in- stances, besides the one directly un der discussion, and Teller assertin that his action had been strictly legal throughout, and that whatever had been done or omitted to be done in the interest of of corporations and against t e public welfare was a fact entirely of existing law, and Teller charged that Van Wyck was fully , aware of the defects in the land laws ' and land grants but had done nothing in his official capacity to remedy these defects. This put Van Wyck on the defensive and the . debate became one of charge and counter charge between these two gentle men. Finally the Senate at 3:30 p. m. went into executive session and 20 minutes later adjourned. The Be-CI ended Eclipse. Washington, March 16, The day was cloudy during the greater part of the time the sun was in eclipse and but few photographs of the eclipse were secured at the Ntval "Observatory. Almost every body who exercised ' sufficient ' patience and was equipped with smoked glass obtained occasional glimpse of the obscured disk through occasional rifts in the clouds.' After the eclipse was over the clouds passed away and later the afternoon was perfectly clear. Very few points report unin -terrupted observation. An Exodus from Virginia Counties. Lynchburg, March 16. Hundreds of the inhabitants of the southwestern counties of Virginia, are emigrating to western States. The counties they leave consist of blue grais growing land and is fertile, but ow ing to the want of railroad communi cation and the disaster of last year's drought, the movement approaches an exodus. Fifty persons from one point and twenty from another boarded the same train on one day last week for the West. The moves ment has been going on' for months. A Surrender Demanded. New York, March 16. Formal notice will be served upon the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Rail road company today or tomorrow de manding the surrender of the Hems phis and Charleston Bailroad.

Dublin, March 16. The corpora tion of Dublin today, by a vote of 41 to 17, rejected the motion to present an address to the Prince of Wales on the occasion of his visit here on April the 8th. During the debate on the proposed address, Timothy Daniel Sullivan, Home Eule Member of Par liament for Westmeath county, de scribed the visit of the Prince and his family, as an attempt to political ly whitewash Dublin Castle.

Made a Response. .... , Washington, March 14. T. Stobo Farrow, clerk of the South Carolina Senate, by special appointment called on President Cleveland this after noon, and, in the name of Governor Thompson, presented to him an en grossed copy of the concurrent reso lutions adopted by the General As sembly of South Carolina in favor of civil service rerorm. xne rresiaeni. received Mr. Farrow in the library nri extended to him a cordial wel come. He said he had already heard of the South Carolina civil service resolutions and was exceedingly eratified to receive them. He said thev had particularly attracted his attention because they were adopt ed by the Legislature about the same time his civil service letter was given nnhlifiitv. Continuing, he said he fully appreciated and would treasure them because he naa aireaay learueu that South Carolinians are an active and nmcrfiSflivft rjeoDie. with ideas fully abreast of the times. Mr. Far row ventured the remark that true civil servi je in South Carolina meant the removal ' of the incumbents of nearly all the Federal officers in the State. The President replied that he hoped to remedy the evil at the proper time. The interview was brief but verv - satisfactory to the bearer of the resolutions. TliE SUPREME COURT.

" Alabanm Iron Interest. N Birmingham. Ala . March 16 Mr. Samuel Thomas, the great. Pennsyl vania iron king, who owns thousands of acres of valuable coal and iron lands in this country, is expected to visit this city in a few days. Hig visit at this particular time is quite xignificant, as he wrote to the New York Iron Age a few months ago that he intended to visit Birmingham in a short while, and would, during that visit, decide whether he would erect extensive works there. It is currently reported oq the streets that the Sloes furnace company will begin the erec tion of another 125 ton furnace this spring. These iron masters are as silent as the heart of their immense ore beds concerning what they pro pose doing, and it is next to impos sible to obtain accurate information of their movements.
