Committee Approves Navy Appropria tion Bill. Provides for Two Battleships and Six Cruisers. HOUSE RECOMMITS THE BILL TO PAT FOR MANILA-H ONO KONG CABLE CUT BY DEWEY QUES TION OP GOVERNMENT ARMOR FACTORY. Washington, March 30. Nearly the entire senate session today was taken up with the discussion of the propose Porto Rican tariff anxS the senate ad journed without action. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Jones, of Arkansas," directing the secretary to send- to the senate a copy of the proceedings of the court of In quiry called to investigate the commis sary department of the army was pass ed. When the consideration of the Porto Rican bill was resumed Mr. Proctor, of Vermont, addressed the senate. He spoke as an unalterable advocate of tne policy of free trade between the island and 'the United StaJtes. At the conclusion of Mr. ..Proctor's speechyMr: Pettus, of Alabama, ad dressed the senate on some constitu tional phases presented by the. bill. Pettus said: "The great error of those in the majority here is that they are in violation of all oxer notions of jus- tloe and comiIlon ""sense, ' They c take tneir .departure in tne sense tnat tine United States is sovereign, in the sense that some European nations are sover eign. It is not so and can never be. We are governed in our relations with these territories by the laws of nations, so they are applicable. The idea is that when territory is ceded to the na tion that the nation cannot necessarily exercise the powers of its former own ers. It must exercise sway in, accord ance with its own limitations. When we took these islands we took them with the limitation of exercising only such power over them as was possible in the conditions in the United States. Today in the house, under the rule, was set aside for the consideration of bills reported from the committee on war claims. Some preliminary rou tine business was transacted, after which the house went into committee of the whole under the rule. Without debate the bill to pay the eastern ex tension of the Australasia and China Telegraph company the cost of repair ing the Manila-Hong Kong cable, which was cut by Dewey, which was under consideration some weeks ago. was ordered recommitted. The ihouse committee on naval affairs today approved the naval appropria tion bill and directed its report to the house. As the bill will be reported it provides for two battleships, three ar mored cruisers and three protected cruisers of dimensions heretofore giv en, and the armor plate for ships of the Maine class now urgently in need of armor is authorized at a price not ex ceeding $545' per ton. The proposition fnr ft. s-overnment armor factory was again brought forward, but no conclus live action was taicen. me errorx was , . . tion of one or more of the new ships in the government yards, but the ma,t- tpr did mot Teach a vote.

I WILKlE & LaBARBE, Real Estate Agen ts, Phone 661 : -23 Patton Ave. RENT Senator Pritchard recently communi cated with the secretary of war with reference to having stationed at Ral eigh, during the next state fair a troop of United States cavalry. Today Sen ator Pritchard received a letter from General Corbin in which the statement was made that it hod been the prac tice in past years to permit troops of cavalry within a reasonable distance of places where agricultural fairs were be ing held, to encamp in their vicinity in the way of a practice march, and that occasionally bands belonging' to regi ments of the. army had been permitted to perform on such occasions, and sometimes 'had been ordered to do so-. General Corbin added, however, that it was impossible to say at this .time what conditions would prevail next Oc tober, but that the probabilities were that the request of the fair managers could be complied with. ' There are encouraging indications that something will be done regarding the establishment of the proposed Ap palac' ian national park soon. Senator Pritchard has renewed his efforts to have some action taken in the matter, and Senator Proctor, who is chairman of the committee that has the matter in charge, has assured him that, if pos sible, the committee will soon grant those interested a hearing. When this time comes a delegation from North Carolina will come to Washington and explain fully what is desired. 'Senator Pritchard has secured an in crease in the pension of S. C. Gouge, of Harrill's, and a pension of $17 a month for Dickson A. Everett, of Charlotte. The latter was a soldier in the Spanish-American war.

FOSTER HIGHLY INCENSED AT SENATOR CAFFERY. Being a Governor, However, He Can not Challenge Him. New Orleans, March 30. The statft campaign between the democratic aurl fusion parties, the latter composed of republicans, populists and independent democrats, is rapidly reaching a clos. The election is held in April and the campaign is becoming hot and bitter. This was emphasized today by an ex traordinary card published in the pa pers and signed! by Allen Jumel and C. Harrison Parker, personal representa tives of Governor Foster, in which Gov ernor Foster had submitted to them for consideration and action a speech de livered in this city on . Wednesday night by Senator Caffery, in which the governor is denounced in violent terms. Foster submitted the language of Caf fery to Jumel and Parker as a court of honor. Foster consulted these gentlemen as to whether he ought to demand an apol ogy for the language used or challenge Caffery to a duel. Both Jumel .and Parker declared that Foster, because he is chief executive of Louisiana, cannot challenge Caffery, and that he ought not to Tesign the. governorship to do so, and therefore cannot take action for the tht inference being that as . soon as he is ' free from the governor ship, which will be in a few weeks, he will be at liberty to challenge Senator Caffery. Foster is a candidate for the United States senate to succeed Caf fery and the indications are. that he will be successful . They are relatives and were close friends until a few months ago. Now they are the bitter est of enemies. A fin lot of Country Hams ju re ceived. Kroger, S2 Souta Main est. 7 ' . ' Htat Rtwincr medicine. Graaut'e A 11V pw- X Tonic, 75c, at Grant's. brant's Grant's.

ROBERTS' INACTIVITT. London. March 30. The reports that Lord Roberts will remain at Bloemfon- tein another month are probably in tended for Boer consumption, and the recent movement of troops and other indications point to preparations being well advanced . for a forward move ment. The entire silence of the cables this morning is regarded as significant. The Boers bombarded the town of Mafeking Monday and Tuesday, but dia little aamage, anu nyea ue culci- tainea tnat it rimy yiuvc iu umvc a final effort to reduce the place be fore raising the siege.
