By this committee - the revision and perfection of 'he amendment was eptruisted to Horn George Roundtree, of Wilmington. To this task Mr. Round- tree brought a fine1 mind and an. exper ience and' zedS derived from the terrible state of affairs in Wilmington which forced him to abandon temporarily his valuable flaw practice and become a member of the legislature. Mr. Round tree is a student of constitutional ques tions and although his abilities have made him a distinguished lawyer in all classes of cases, it was unanimously agreed that he was particularly .adapt ed to deal with thle. . great question.

Cotter, K. Jones and T. A. Green' to govern, tfee town This bill was explained by M?i Gilliam, who said that under the pre ent fusion 3aw the republicans bad gerrymandered the town so that they had nine aldermen to two democratic members; that there was a negro cjy attorney and five negro policemen. The five trustees were named by a mass meeting of New Bern citizens. On the heels of this came another bill, also heralded as a bill to restore white government to Surry county by elect ing a treasurer who should perform the tax collecting duties now exercised by the sheriff.

FAILURE TO SECURE VOTE ON BACON'S RESOLUTION. Washington, Feb. 1. It' is probable that the senate tomorrow will pae the resolution of Sullivan, of Mississippi, providing that the ratification of the peace treaty shall ' in no wise dtermine our policy in the Philippines, commit the government to a colonial policy nor embarrass the establishment of an in dependent government in the islands. The treaty advocates expect to se cure the two votes needed for ratifica tion by the passage of this resolution, which, after all, really means nothing. Four senators are still on the doubtful lit. Thev are Bacon and Clay, of Georgia; Cluttom, of Texas, and Mitch ell, of "Wisconsin. All may , vote for ratification and Hale may do so if nec essary. The passage or tne resolution will at least gain Sullivan's vote. If enough votes are not secured then Bacon's more definite resolution will be passed.

Washington, Feb. 1 Miles', reitera tion in a statement printed today of the charges that the army beef had been poisoned by chemicals may have a decided' bearing on the commanding general's official future.
