The House took up as the special order of the day Williams' resolution providing a special committee of eight to Investigate and report on questions of law and fact and to mak examinations Into the acts, operations and other matters relating to what sre known as public service corpora tions, this Inquiry to be for the bene fit of the Legislature. Williams, In a brief argument, explained his bill, saying he was certain the report could be made In 15 dav nnrt it would be of Incalculable aid In the enacting of legislation and, In his Judgment, would greatly facilitate legislation. . Mangum, of Gaston, followed In advocacy of the reonlutlon. Manning, of Durham, strongly op posed it, saying he thought the work of the Legislature would be retarded Instead of hastened, saying that bills now Introduced and under considera tion could be enacted Into laws long long before this special committee could get Its data. He cited the Armstrong committee In New York, which took months In considering In surance conditions, and declared It would require months for this com mittee to collect anything like reli able information on the lines Indicat ed, while there would he thousands of dollars of expense. Boyd, of Haywood, favored the Im mediate appointment of the special committee, declaring that It would get immediately at work and discover enough In five days about railroad mismanagement and abuses to Justify the passage of every bill that had Been introduced. He evoked much Butuier oy aeciaring mat jn nis sec tion the. railway service was so bad and riding on trains so dangerous . tlN ...... . - M . a . . ... . ....

Dowd advocated the motion to re fer made by Gallater and said the committee could 'consider the resolu tion carefully and "reports Its con clusion, , f t , i Mldyotte urged the defeat of the resolution, saying his constituents al ready knew there wna greatly need ed relief from railway troubles and were determined to get It through their Representatives. He added that it would take at least, a month to hear from the special committee and then it would be too' late to enact any law, i Harris, of Wake, advocated reference to the' resolution to the reg ular committee. ,' ' ' , Laughlnghouse warmly advocated the Williams resolution and deolare that every fman- -who opposed 'lt had expressed sympathy, with Its . object. .but was very careful to. try to kilt It or . pigeon-hole it, v. He : wanted s special committee, and f wanted It 1 to get tight; down at work. , r, He; said that this plan of being In sympathy with a thing but killing Jt was an old one in legislation, but . had no weight with him. t'v ,'.i , ' Blount, of j Washington, In advo cating the resolution aald tbat sev eral tunes before In his legislative ex perience he had heard the. same kind of argument about expense, delay, etc, made against propositions like this, hut like MK Laughlnghouse, he strongly objected to dodging this res olution , by killing it with kind words or acknowledging that this Legisla ture' was thus early in its session, powerless in the presence of these great corporations.- Stevens favored Dowd's , suggestion, that the resolu tion be so amended as to give to the committee on public service corpo rations the powers proposed In the resolution for the special committee. FURTHER DISCUSSION. Galloway, of Greene, offered an amendment that the committee should make partial report each Monday. Yount, of Catawba,' said the peo ple demanded relief from railway extortion and outrage, and that it was up to the railroad to furnish In formation if they thought the bills now in hand were wrong. Douglas moved that further con sideration of the question be post poned until January 22, as he thought by- that time the standing committee would know whether tha railways were willing to furnish re liable Information or not. When asked by Wlnborne what objection he had to the resolution being re ferred to committees, Douglas re plied thst since opposition to the resolution came principally from members of that committee, there was some fear that If it went to the committee it might also go Into a state of perpetual preservation. Jacobson advocated conferring powers of investigation upon the pub lic service commission which this resolution sought to confer on the special committee. He declared that prompt action was desired for relief of the people against railway aggression, and It was feared creat ing a new committee would delay such action. Avery wanted the reso lution made a special order for next Monday. Dowd called the previous question, but after the call had been sustained, .Grant called attention to the rule that no one except the In troducer or manager of a measure could call the previous question. The speaker said this was correst, but that the House had already voted to sustain the call, before objection was made, and so the rule was sus pended. The first voU was on the motion to postpone consideration un til Monday. This was lost. The next was on Gallert's motion that the resolution be referred to the pub lic service corporation. This was adopted by a viva voce, the ayes be ing in a large majority. Bills were passed conferring on all the Superior Courts of Bertie Juris diction to try both criminal and civil cases, and the House adjourned un til Monday. SENATE.

' . .; ; Washington, , Jan. ?v 12. Proposals opened by the canal commission to day for the entire ' construction -?' of the Panama canal were as low as had been expected by 1 experts on con struction work., For some time f it has been known that several mem bers, of the commission believed 7 per centum upon the estimated cost of the construction would be a fair remuneration for a contract, or un der ; the form of contract . prepared by the commission. . ; . , The lowest proposal, that of Wil liam J. Oliver, of Knoxvllle, Ten nessee, and Anson M. Bangs, of New York City, who offered to do the work for 6.76 per centum of the es timated cost, falls , even Jower than had been , hoped for. Granting that the estimate of 1140,000,000 for the construction of the canal, which had been frequent ly spoken of in Congress, is accurate, the remuneration of the Oliver Bangs combination would bo 19,460. 000 In case it were to be awarded the contract. Much discussion has been made In regard to the great difference In the only four bids received, as , they ranged from 6.75 per centum to 28 per centum. William J. Oliver and Anson M. Bangs have both been in the con tracting business for many years, and the statements they furnished with their proposal show that they have done much important work. Mr. Oliver states that he has com pleted 118,100,000 worth Of work In the past ten years and now has $31, 500,000 worth of work In progress. He gives his assets at $3,000,000. Mr. Bangs' gives his assets at $2,000,000. The other bidders were George Pelrce & Company, of Frankfort, Maine and New York City, who of fered to do the work for 7.19 per centum upon the estimated costs; the North American Dredging Com pany, of Los Angeles, California, who offered to do the work for 28. per centum of the estimated costs, and the McArthur, Gillespie Company, of New York, whose bid was 12.5 per centum. to occupy room west of Senate chamber during session. TOCTBLEBRATE LEE DAY. The House resolution to print Gover nors message was announced to have been rstlflf.d. The bill relatinr to hold ing courts In Craven county passed its mini reading;. The Joint resolution or Mr. Relnhardt providing for the cele bratlon of General Lees birthday 'was tut on its final reading and passed. It fprovldedl for the adjournment of "the Legislature on January 19th, the 10th an niversary or the birthday or ueneral Lee, and the appointment ot a- commit tee to wait upon Oen. R. F. Hoke, to Invite him to be present at a commemo rative service on the morning of January If. The bill to Incorporate the name of B8lem Female Aeademy passed Its linal reading. At 11:55 the Senate adjourned until 12 o'clock Monday. WILLIAMS BILL 8HELVED. The practical shelving of the reso lution of Representative Williams, of Duplin, by the House this afternoon was a great surprise to this gentle man. He said in speaking of the result that the proposition as em bodied in his resolution Introduced the first day was the result of a careful consideration of the railroad question by some of the wisest pub lic men of the State conversant with tlio situation and most anxious to devise a method whereby tho truth could be arrived at and reforms made in regard to the railroads' and other public Bervice corporations' re lation wU!i tu public could be in leillpontly, fairly and surely accom plished. His resolution called for the ap pointment of a special Joint commit tee of five on the part of the House and three of the Senate to consider and Investigate the whole question of rates, freight and passenger, to have power to send for persona and papers and examine fully Into matters and report its conclusions and recom mendations not later than February 10. The sending of the resolution to the committee on public service corporations after a long debate, really meant defeat. Since Its In troduction, this committee has been created, superseding the old commit tee on railroads. Leading the fight against the Williams resolution were members of this new committee: suggesting the comment they did not look with favor on the making of i another committee with almost iden tical duties with their own. If not with far more power Relnhardt's resolution Is that the Senate and House adjourn on the 19th In honor of the 100th birthday of R. E. Lee, and that In recognition of the Illustrious character of Robert F. Hoke, former major general In the Confederate army and now the rank ing officer of all those who served In the army of Northern Virginia, and a committee of two members of the Senate and three of the House ar range suitable ceremonies for the oc casion and call on General Hoke and Invite him to be present at the session at 11 o'clock on the morning of the lftth In the hall of the House or else where as the said committee may see fit In order that he may attend the reception tendered him on that occasion. HOKE .CHOSEN BY LEE AS SUC CESSOR. In this connection your correspond ent may say that Oeneral Hoke has at last broken his silence In regard to his tender to him of the position of commanding general of the army In case General Leo became unable to All It, On one occasion while riding with General Lee the latter told General Hoke that he very much feared his health would break down and that to guard against such a contingency that he had Informed President Davis and tho cabinet that In such an event he wished Oeneral Hoke to command the armies ofth Confederate States. It Is of course known that a cabinet ses sion was held, at Which this matter waa discussed ant all the arrange ments made, but Oeneral Lee's health did not give away and so (he step was not made necessary, Among the Important bills Intro duced in the Senate was one by Blair to regulate passenger, rates ana es tablish lnterchaneable mileage, pro viding for but one regular passenger fare, 2 11 cent, and that all roads shall Issue 1,000 mile Interchangeable books, good over all lines, at not over J 1-1 cents per mile, penalties not ,to exceed 42,000 nor be less than tSOO. .

A complaint has been read at the War Department from the Evangelical Ministerial As sociation of Atlanta. Ga., In regard to the Sunday baseball playing of the soldiers at Fort McPherson. It Is as serted that this pastflme leads to dis orders within the post and on tin roads leading to It.

' Just how many men were executed for the part which they took in the trouble Is not yet known, but seven -of ho ring leaders were shot to-day In the sight of hundreds of witnesses. - The shooting of these leaders, among who were Rafael Moreno, vice president,, and Manuel Juarea, secre tary of the Working Men's organiaa tlon, was dramatic. It was at 6:20 o'clock In the morning when 8, 000 of the already half-starved strikers determined to turn back to work. The factory whistle was blow ing and throngs of men were about to enter the nnen doors when they saw a squad of soldiers leading the .condemned men to the ruins or tne t ... stores that had been razed by the mob. Placing the men on tho piles of smouldering rubbish the soldiers stepped back the desired number of paces and the volley that roliowea closed this dramatic chapter of the strike. The throngs of dazed working men who unwittingly witnessed the hor rible sight, waited for a moment un til the smoke cleared away and then entered the mill. Later a workman, who apparently had been drinking, came to tho door to resume the work within and as he entered he thickly shouted: "Muerto," (Death). In stantly he was tired on and killed by a squad of soldier. All of the ex ecuted men were speedily burled. Great excitement prevailed last night in Santa Rosa, R16 Blanco and Nogalcs, when word was given out that all the houses In these three set tlements would be searched for stolen goods.
