More than two hundred members
wrre interviewed. The sum of the
matter it gives is that there is some
uncertainty among Democrats as to
just how far to go in reducing the
l arm, but they" will go a good way.
There will be so more piliag up of a
needless surplus. The Democrats
say it is high time that the TarifE is
arranged oh a common-sense basis.
From the WorhTs- interviews of
Congressmen wa quote the following
as to Democratic Senators:
Joha T. Morgan, of Alabamal. Thev

believe in so reducing taxation as to have
only enough surplus lo propeily carry on

ideas as expressed therein. ' '

Jos. (J. b. -Blackburn, of Kentuckv I
agree with the President fully on both the
tarur. question and tus necessity for the
reduction of taxation.
J. B. Beck, of Kentuckj That was a
splendid document.

Among tne articles exhibited in the

night, among the contributions of
the day, we noted a Japanese cologne
case, presented to Commodore John
Stodder, U. S. N., by the Emperor of
Japan "the Mikado" while he was
completing negotiations between
that country and the United States.
It is the handiwork of a Japanese
lady, and is considered by connois
seurs to be very valuable. The arti

Stodder, through Miss Jannie Kno

one of the oldest German A, B, C
books, -which was printed in German-
town, Pa., in 1776"; containing wood
cut illustrations which are not often
made better or printed clearer in the
present age; a Greek testament, bound
in vellum, and supplied with a Ger

Saxony, Germany, in 1730, by Chris

of the Lutheran Orphan Home, Leip-

Greek and Hebrew, and edited by
one of the first German doctors,
Elias Hutter, bearing date of publi;

thongs of leather; a large octavo vol

A Catting Scrape.
John Walker and Dave Hawkins,
yppmr colored men employed at the
ChampioCOtttytrOempreBs, engaged
in a fight yesterday morning. Hawl
kins knocked Walkor down and the
latter when he got up rushed at Haw
kins and cut him with a knife, inflict
ing a wound in the left side about two
inches in length. The cut is just be
low the heart and probably would
have been a fatal blow, but for the
blade striking a rib. As it is, Haw
kins wound is not considered danger
ous. A physician was at once called
to attend him, and after the wound
was dressed he was taken to his home
on Fifth and Walnut streets.
Mr. William Singletary, who wit
nessed the fight and endeavored to
8eparptethe combatants, received a
slight cut across one of his wrists.
Walker made his escape alter the
cutting and has not since been seen.
He is about eignteen years of age.
Hawkins is several years older.
Eastern Insane Asylum.
The Goldsboro Argns says that a
meeting of the Directors of the East

place last Friday, and adds: Dr. J. F.
Miller, of Goldsboro, was elected su
perintendent. .The election of stew
ard was postponed until March. The
assistant superintendent's time had
not expired, consequently there was
no election for this place. All the
directors were present. Dr. Miller,
as is well known, is a gentleman of
the very highest character and emi-
nenoe in his profession, and it would
have been impossible for the direc
tors to have done better. Dr. Roberts,
who has been superintendent for six
years, has made an able and efficient
officer, and is entitled to the plaudit
of "well done good and faithful ser
vant." Mrs. B. V. Smith was elected
matron.
