To a represen tative of the Gazette Senator Pritchard made the following statement toda3r: "While I am confident that the dem ocrats carried the state of North Car olina at the last eleotion, as well as in the August eleotion, by corrupt and fraudulent methods, at the same time - i I cannot support tne urumpacKer bill. "I am of the opinion that congress does not possess the authority to re duce North Carolina's representation, and can never exercise such power until lit As ascertained that a number of our citizens have been denied the right to vote. "Th rlause of the constitution -upon which the author of this bill relies is section 2, of the Fourteenth Amend ment, which reads as follows: 'Sec. 2. Representatives snail De rvnortloned among the several states a --. - according to their respective mjinue counting the whole number of persons In each .stete, excluding Indians not t.Yfl. But when tne ngnx 10 voie ai any election for the choice of electors forPresident and Vice-ITesiaem or me Uited StatesvRepresentatives in con- rPK. ithe executive and judicial omwrs of a state, or the members of the leg islature thereof, is denied to any or cne i- vn-K;nf i-vf nAh state, or m HIHIC llllMfcUi'iJa'" ij " ' any way abridged, except for partici pation in rebellion, or otner crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion wmcn rue member of such male citizens snaii bear to the whole number of male cit izens 21 years of age in such state. "This isectaon does not nndertaJke to confer upon congress the authority to act until it shall appear by ascertain ment in an official manner .that a num ber of our citizens have been denied the right to vote. This has not been done and upon the face of our election re turns It does not appear that a suffi cient number of our citizens have been denied the right to vote to justify the wholesale reduction which is proposed by Mr. Crumpacker's bill. "If the Amendment should be de clared constitutional and honestly en forced, all colored voters who could read and write would be entitled to vote, which would enable at least 40- 000 of the colored race to exercise the elective franchise. The bill provides that our representation shall be reduced to Ave members, and Is in this respect manifestly unjust. I have repeatedly warned the leaders of the democratic partty that we might expect legislation .v4 ViarattP-r if thv persisted in Llll . . denying to our people the rights to which they are entitled under the Con stitution of the United States. "The bill is also in the nature of a wnfesson that the government of the United States does not possess suffi cient power to protect its citizens in the enjoyment of their constitutional rights and is a practical endorsement of the conduct of those who seek to nul.lfy tne 15th Amendment. "There is a revolution of public sen timent in progress n North Carolna, and I am satisfied that republicanism has a firmer foothold in that state to day than at any time since 1872.

Capetown, Dec. 1. Sir Alfred Mil ner, governor of Cape Colony has re ceived the deputation appointed by th recent Afrikander congress to present to him for transmission to the British government the three resolutions adop ted by the congress. In reply to the deputation's spokes man he said: "I shall forward these resolutions to the imperial government with my strong disapproval. They are framed bv clever men now engineering ihe present agitaion and encouraging those who are carrying on ahopeless resistance." Of the .resolutions adopted at Wor cester the first demands the termina tion of the war with its untold misery, protests against the devastation of the country and the burning of tarms, which "will leave a lasting heritage of bitterness," and declares that tne independence of the republics will alon insure peace in South Africa. xne second urges the right of the colony to manage its own affairs and sensures the -policy of Sir Alfred Milner.

THE CITY GAILY DECORATED AND CROWDED WITH VISITORS V-ALL PUBLIC BUSINESS SUS PENDED PI, A.NS FOR THE NEW. V1JITE HOUPE. Washington, Dec. 21. The national capital is in gala attire today in cele bration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the seat of federal government at Washington, and for the time oeing tne wheels of government have ceased revolving-, business, pub ic and private is suspended, while the president and his cabinet sn,ort - MVtlWk and house of representatives, the fed eral judiciary, ithe governors of many states and a great concourse of citi zens and visitors join in the elaborate festivities if the day. Perhaps nevr again will this generation witness such a significant gathering of the heads of states and of the chief executive of the nation. One hundred years ago the transfer of the seat of government was made from Philadelphia to Washington and the site previously selected by President Washington was taken pos session of by the various branches of soveromentt, President and Mrs. Adams driving over from Philadelphia- h senate and house holding .their sessions nere ror the first time. For months Washington has been preparing for a fitting commemoration of this inter- ing historical event. From an early hour todav th ntrPtn were filled with an eager and expectant throng. Pennsylvania avenue was a blaze of olor from end to end, the uusmess nouses Deing nung with bunt ing, nags and patriotic devices. The rreat Public bulldinca artrteJt Tioli .. share to the brilliancy of the spectacle. The program of the day began with a reception at 10 o'clock by President McKinley and members of his cabinet to the governors of the states and terri tories in the executive mansion. This was followed by the unveiling in the east room of the model of the proposed enlarged executive mansion, which is to be a lasting memorial of today's celebration. ; . The other events of the day were a parade from the White House to the capitol, participated in by the president and other dignitaries and visitors and the district militia, and joint exer cises by the senate and house in the hall of the house of representatives. At night a reception was tendered the governors of the states and territories at the Corcoran gallery of art. The disitinguished guests .began to ar rive at the mansion some time before ten o'clock and half an hour later all of the larige public rooms .were com fortably fi'lTed, the brilliant military uniforms of the staff officers adding anuch to the spectacular effect of the scene. At just 10.30 o'clock the presi de nit descended the west stairway with. Secretary Hay at his side.
