Mr. Biddleberger UI will do so

The i presiding officer again re
quested Mr. Biddleberger to state his

Mr.l Vance
'retained his standing

The Senator from Virginia is agai
out pf 6rder,? the presiding officer:
declared), "and it is a question for the
Senate: to determine as to its correc-
Uon." 5 "i ij j X-
At this point -Mr. Ingalls resumed
the chair, and with a sharp rap of the
gavel, recognized the Senator from:
North Carolina. U j - i
Mr. Vanoe had not proceeded far in;
his argument when a , point of order!
was again raised by Mr. Biddleberger.
Th Maidinofficer (Mr. Iogalls)!
asked Mr. Vance to pause until th
point of order should be stated. x j I
"And take bis seat," interrupted.
Mr. Biddleberger. ; ! - !
"The chair wUl attend to thb enforce

presiding officer in a lone of rebuke ;
"The iSenatoJi from Virginia willj
state bis point of order." . I -
Mr. Biddlebererer did not persist;
much further but stated his point of i
order to the effect that the morningi

: The Presiding officer declared that i
the' point was hot well taken and di
rected the Senator from Virginia to

; Mr. Biddleberger, however, did not
comply With the order but persisted
in his objection i
- "If the Senator from Virginia does
not take his seat," said the presiding
officer, in a severe and resolute man
ner, "the chair' will call on the execu
tive officer of the Senate to enforce

There was no further contest, and
Mr. Biddleberger, with an air of pro
found disgust,; retired to 'a Seat j on
one of the sofas. :
Mr. Vance then proceeded with his
ar crament . and finished it without
further interruption. He contraated
the injustice of giving free raw ma
terial to; the manufacturers of per
fumery and oosmetios and refusing
free raw material to the agricultural
classes, whose; products constituted
34 per cent of all the exports of the

cations have been received here from
the Territories of Wyoming, Mob tana
and Washington, calling ; upon the
leaders in Dakota to take , steps to
ward holding an international' 'terri
torial convention that will . act in the
interest of the admission of all Terri
tories that are properly equipped for
statehood. It is quite likely!: that
such convention will' be' held. Da
kota is one grand mass meeting at
present and will so remain until she
becomes " a Stare. Every town and
city in the Termvrj- amutuis noe
ings and every orator is giving his
lungs abundance of exertion, h Every
man who owns a house' or an acre of
land feels confident thai statehood
will add to the value of his property,
and every community feels : that it is
being held back by the fact ihat .Ua
kotaia still a Territory. The legis
lature will convene January 8, and it
is expected that one of itu first acts
will be to call a constitutional con
vention and take other preliminary
steps toward statehood. In; nearly
every legislative district the members
have been instructed in favor of di
vision Of the Territory, and there will
be virtually no opposition to calling
a constitutional convention for North

acceded. ' On the anniversary: of their

the resignation of Mr. Eugene L. Htr- a

C. A. Mr. Harris has made a faithful
endeavor to establish for the asso
ciationafi plan of work which is gea
erally admitted to be ifa true sphere.
The rooms of the association will be
kept open ll to build up the :'

: yUsolipd, That in accepting the 1
resighatiori of Mi. E ugene L. Harris ! '
as the General Secretary of this asso-
ciation, the board of directors desires ,
to place on record a statement of their -esteem
and respect for one who has f
labored so faithfully and with such
remarkable self-abnegation for the j - '
good of the ybung men of Baleigh.
i: To this ; high work, Mr. Harris
brought a willingness of purpose, un
tiring real, the purest motives and! :
thorough consecration for this branch

I The directors are reluctantly forced '
to the conclusion that it is neither
wise or right to continue the oIoe of
General Secretary upon j the insuffi
cient aupport afforded the association. T
And although its revenues are at the
present time, somewhat larger than '
at any previous time In 1 its history,
yet they not only have been inade '
quate from the beginning but con- i
Unue to fall far short of the. amount ,
Which the requirements of the work
under Its present scope demand.
I The directors in conclusion further .
desire to state that in the necessity
for this step, the. way for which" has t
been made clear by the voluntary
resignation of Mr. Harris, nothing
but the. most t harmonious relations
nave existed and now exist between
them, and they part from' him with
Sentiments of . the highest and warm
