In ft' preliminary way, for the' trip, which will occupy at least two days and possibly three. While at Norfolk and vicinity , the Governor will be the recipient of a great many attentions, particularly from North Carolinians who are so numerous and Influential In that k sec tion. Representative , Blckett, from Franklin county, the author of the notable bill, carrying an appropria tion of $125,000 a year for the next four years for providing special build ings and grounds for various classes of the insano, epileptics, etc., was here to-day and had a conference with the Governor. Your correspondent had a special interview with Mr. Blckett, who said that in the bill as originally drawn by him a commis sion was created, composed of the three Huperlntendents of-the hospitals for the insano and five business men, to be appointed by the Governor. It appears that some lawyers are disposed to question the validity of legislative acts because stencils were used in signing them. Large num bers were thus signed, particularly during the closing days of the session. Governor Glenn will hear next Tues day petli loners who bsk pardons for the brothers White, of Concord, con victed of murdering young Hherrlll In Rowan over two yeas ago. As yet no endorsement of such petitions have been made by the Judge or solicitor. KI'PKEME COURT OPINIONS.

Washington, March 20. Under the recent net of Congress making ap propriations for the postal service for the ensuing fiscal year, the Postmaster General may tlx the salaries of car riers In the rura Idellvery service at rule not exceeding $900 per annum, nfter July 1, 1 907. The highest rate now paid under existing law is $720 per annum. The readjustment of sal aries under the new law has not been fully determined, hut It Is proposed to allow the maximum rate $900 to all carriers on routes 24 or more miles In length. This will give approxi mately 22,800 or about 60 per cent of the carriers an advance in salary of $180 per annum. Carriers on tho shorter routes rang ing from 12 to 14 and 14 to 16 miles in length rfow receive $504 and $540 per annum, respectively, being propor tionally better paid than carriers on routes of 20 or more miles. The pay of substitute rural carriers will also tie Increased In many cases. This advance In pay for carriers and substitutes. It is estimated, will result In an approximate Increase of $5,900, n'l'i In the Cost of rural delivery ser vice. PI KM AM NT CHALLENGE (TP.

Attorney Francis S. , Heney says In substance: Of v the a 0ft : Indictments charging Abraham Ruef with bribery, 18 are for the alleged; bribing of the board of supervisors in connection with the granting of fight permits to, the eo called fight trust. Ruef is charged with having paid each one of the 18 supervisors 1600, and one Indictment was returned for each supervisor al leged to have been bribed. Eighteen Indictments against Ruef are tor bribing the IS supervisors to 'Vote for 85-oent gas Instead' of a 78 cent rate, It being charged that' each one of the supervisors was paid $750 by Ruef. Thirteen Indictments against him are for the alleged bribing of 11 supervisors In connec tion with the granting of a franchise to the Home .Telephone Company. The telephone -company bid and paid u, ,v, ,,,. tne nnn .v,. .nni.i. In connection with the same matter, 14 Indictments were returned against T. V. Halsey, formerly general agent of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company, for the alleged bribing of 'four eupervlsors to vote against. the .granting of a franchise to the rival company. According to Heney, Halsey is charged wlt'r' having paid 13 super visors $5,000 each, nnd to one James L. Gallagher $10,000. Halsey, It Is said, agreed to pay each supervisor $2,500 additional If the franchise was not granted to the Home Com pany. Of the 14 supervisors, who, It Is charged, were bribed by Hal sey, nine, Mr. Heney said, turned around and took money from the other company to vote for the fran chise. Mr Heney said all the supervisors wth the exception of Duffy, now pres Id.nt of the board of public works, have testified fully before the grand Jury and confessed all their partici pation In the acceptance of bribes. Duffy is willing to testify and will be before the 'grand Jury Thursday. Whether he will be permitted to do jo will depend upon certain conditions that we will put up to him. Henry said he got Sanderson's confession at Palo Alto last Sunday. EXPLOSION KILLS SIX MEN. Three Americans and Three Cnknown Italian Laborer Die In Disaster at Powder Mill Near Emporium, Pa.
