There's Kaiser Wil liam; he's a daisy cook, and if he lost his Emperor job could earn a living making soup. And there's Ambassador ttayard, who as a ter rapin stewist achieved renown be fore he began to put up dinners for English nabobs. A good many poli ticians "cook their goose," but when it comes to presiding over the range in on all 'round way they are "in the soup.".. Most people who have been able to get a breakfast have been eating breakfasts ever since breakfasts were invented and now comes a doctor to tell that we shouldn't eat any brakfast until we are hungry, in fact shouldn't eat at all unless we are hungry. Sometime ago we read of another doctor who said the break fast should be the solid, jolly, fortify ing meal, and now we are in a quan dary as to whether it iSjbetter, to run a deficit or a surplus. , The Legislature of South Carolina has passed an income tax bill, and the Legislature of Minnesota and in heritance tax bill on inheritors of personal property, graded in propor tion to the amount inherited: 1 per cent, on amounts , from $10,000 to $15,000; 2 per cent, from $15,000 to $30,000; S per cent, from $30,000 to $50,000; and 5 per cent, on from $50,- 000 and over. . A Minnesota statesman has intro duced a bill which provides for the appointment of several phrenologists to examine the bumps of persons in the penitentiaries, and reformatories and scholars in the educationnl in stitutions.

The W. B. Claik Comctm'i E:ttbliih ment on Front Street Entered and a - Quantity of Good Taken. The five and ten cent store on Front street, W. B. Clark Company, proprie tors, was entered by burglars early San day morning. Entrance was gained through a double side door by inserting a thin piece of iron or wood through the opening between the two parts of the door and raising the bar which held it. Among the numerous missing articles were 4 dozen nogs, l dozen watcn chains, several scarf pins, shirt studs, cuff buttons, etc And there was prob ably a good deal more taken that the prpprietors did not miss. The money drawers were riBed and about $1.50 Secured. Mr. Clark found out that burglars Jiad been about when he went down to the store on Sunday afternoon and on opening the front door saw the money drawers piled up one on the other1 in the! middle of the floor. There is no clue as yet to the guilty parties. . Appointed Truatee of tbe A. & M. College. Mr. H. E. Bonitz received a telegram last night from Governor Russell, bear ing the information that he had been appointed; a member of the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural and Me chanical College at Raleigh. This is a high compliment to our townsman, and is worthily bestowed. It came altogether unsolicited. Mr. Bonitz enjoys the distinction of being the first graduate of the college to be elected a ttustee. He was a member of tbe first graduating class, taking the degree of Bachelor of Engineering at the com mencement of 1893. His name was rec ommended for the place by the Alumn Association.

Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh. N. C, March 8. Comparatively few members of the Legislature left the city yesterday. Rep resentative Plott is the only one: re ported to have gone. It looks as if the lease people are de termined to sit the balance of the week, or longer, if necessary. Col. Andrews nor any of the Southern s counsel have had admission to tbe floor of the House Since Friday. On the other hand, Capt. W. H. Day, who has made his head quarters In the Governor's private office tor the last six days, is given free access to the. floor of the House. Ex-Judge Avery is also a privileged visitor. (governor Kussell is responsible for the proceedings of the Legislature, and it can well be dubbed Russell's Legisla ture. The Speaker is bis and cheerfully does his bidding. Cook. Lusk, Alexan der, Hancock and tbe two Suttons run from tbe Governor's office to the floor of the House every few minutes. The election law, which has passed the Senate, has got to pass the House before becoming a law. Right here it may be said that the election law, the Raleigh charter and much other vicious legislation is blocked unless the Senate substitute to the lease bill is concurred in. Senator Butler arrived yesterday from Washington. The Senator has nothing new to say. Special Star Telerram. , Raleigh, N. G, March 8.

Special Star Correspondence Raleigh, March 8 At 10 o'clock the House met, Lusk in the chair. Dcckery asked for a two minutes' con ference. The following1. letter to Lsk from Speaker Hileman was read t "I am too unwell this morning to preside over the body, and I will'ask you to perform this duty for me." The following, signed by Hileman, was also read : ' I hereby appoint V. S. Lusk Speaker pro tent, of the House of Representative,; to preside as Speaker this, tbe 8th day of March. 1897. and to perform tbe duties of the chair." Alexander rose to a question of per sonal privilege as to his remark about Chapin; that he onlv meant to say that tbe majority had no principles. He said that if Chapin had waited a mo ment he would have explained this. Blackburn arose and moved concur rence in the Senate amendment and on this called the previous question. Allen seconded the motion. Hancock said that the matter was in conference. Tbe Speaker said a recess would be taken for a ten minutes' conference. The chair expressed the opinion that Black burn s motion was out of order. Black burn said 18 minutes had elapsed; that he had asked if there was anything be fore the House and that the chair said no; that Dockerv and the others hal come ont of the Speaker's room. Lusk asked Blackburn if be thought he was treating the chair with courtesy. Black- ourn said yes, with perfect courtesy. Blackburn contended that the chair bad first to announce that business was in order. Special Star Telerram Blackburn asked if anything was be fore the House. The Speaker replied no. Blackburn then moved to concur in the Senate substitute, and on this called the previous question, but was ruled out of order. Blackburn appealed from decision of tbe chair, and was again ruled out of order. McKenzie made the point that Lusk had some weeks ago ruled, when a protest was offered and the Speaker refused to al low it to be spread upon the journal, that tbe only ' recourse was an appeal from the chair, and yet to-day Lusk ruled no appeal could be made. Lusk made no reply. Blackburn moved that the lobbies be cleared, and said the people who represented the minority interest were present. Sutton, of Cumberland, made a motion to ad mit Col. A. B. Andrews. The latter motion prevailed. Cook sent forward three amendments, and gave notice that he T'ould call the previous question. These amendments were as follows: To add the words "or stockholders" to line 6, to make the rate of rental 9 per cent, and 8 per cent. Schulken sent up an amendment making the rate 10 per cent. Murphy insisted that his amendment, offered Saturday, was be fore the House. The Speaker assented. Duncan said be came here against the lease and voted for the original bill, but that he was now of the opinion that this matter could not be settled by this Legislature, and he moved to table the amendments, together with the substi tute. The question was put and de clared carried amid great excitement. Alexander moved to reconsider the motion to table and lay that on the table. (In other I words, to put on the "clincher"). McKenzie on this de manded the yeas and nays. Dockery said last night he was visited by Day and Avery with this proposition: That they be allowed to introduce three amendments, 8, 9 and 10 per cent., and that these be voted on, and that no dis cussion be allowed save in explanation of votes; that Murphy's amendment be also voted on without debate and that then 'a vote be had on the substitute without debate; that this proposition was this morning submitted to Col. Andrews and Blackburn, who declined it. It was clear that Duncan's sudden change of front was understood, for Murphy seconded his motion to table. The vote was very singular. Scarcely any majority men voted. The vote was yeas 49, nays 24. The chair declared the mo tion carried.- Both sides applauded; Mc Kenzie said, "We whipped you at -your own game." The anti-lease men said they were satisfied as they did not re gard the lease as validated, while the majority said the 99-year lease stands. They had a great deal of fun at the ex pense of Populists and Russell's friends, wnowenton record against the 10 per cent, interest amendment when they voted on Duncan's motion, to table. Cook and Blackburn shook hands. Col. Andrews and Judge Avery were in the lobby, both smiling and each surrounded by hand-sbakers. It was a love feast all around. Each side named itself winner. Dockery said, "It is a dog fall." Speaker Lusk was able to get order in five minutes, and the Goldsboro Police Commission bill was taken up. Parker, ofWayne.attacked the Police Commision bill, saying it was a strike at one of the bestfgoverned towns in the State and to make a radical change in one of the most orderly places in the State, where.the rela. tions between the races were of the greatest friendliness; that promi nent ne groes so say; that the town is very close' politically; that there were excellent schools for both races; that there was no gerrymander; that the mayor and alder men were voted for directly by the peo ple, and that the people should be trust ed to elect their ,own officers. Person, of Wayne.Jsaid that save at general elec tions, Goldsboro was quiet; that then there was disorder there and at all other towns; that the common people are driven and coetced into voting the Democratic ttcktt;, that the Democrats threaten to discharge em ployes and starve their wives and children ; that this bill was ta get around devilment; that the heat ing ot one-legged negroes must be stopped. He said) the! men named on the police board own as much property as any two men in tbe State. . Schulken said the Populist party was for the rule of the majority. Schulken ridiculed Person. The latter became furious. The vote on Schulken'i amendment to allow people to vote was, yeas 43, nays 80. There was applause at this. The vote was then on the passage of the bill as amended. Sutton moved to table the bill. There was a burs: of yeas, and on motion of Parker, pf Wayne, the "clincher" was put on while Democrats and Populists applauded. y Dockery. brought up the Senate amendment to the school lawthat ap propriated 50.000 to the public schools. The' House had appropriated $100,000. Dockery stated that the Senate would not give more. On Dockery's motion the House concurred. The bill to pro tect mocking birds! passed.

The Senate tabled tbe A Thief Arretted. Last August a lady1, while seated in a car at the Atlantic Coast Line depot in this city, had her hand-bag, containing a gold watch and a few other articles, snatched out of her hand by a colored man, who jumped Off the train and made his escape. The thief was recog nized as one John Dobson, alias Captain Darby, and a warrant was ' immediately issued for his arrest,! but he succeeded in getting out of the city, closely fol lowed by two detectives in the employ of Bruce Williams, Esq.. attorney of the Atlantic Coast Line. After staying away over six months Dobson returned to the city, and was promptly arrested by Dep uty Sheriff J. P. Flyhn and placed in jail. He will have a hearing Saturday morning. The stolen! watch was recov ered, Dobson having pawned it to a jeweler in this city, i j Didn't Xiike the "Backing" Ptooeca. Sunday afternoon the quietude in tbe neighborhood of Sixth and Church streets was rudely disturbed by the fir ing of a pistol.

One Hundred and Beventy-Tbree Miles in One Hundred and Seventy-Four Mlnntee AU Beoordt - Broken. ! The Columbia Slate of yesterday gives an interesting account of tbe great ran made by an Atlantic Coast Line train last Saturday. We give it below with two corrections, one of figures and one in number of engine, with the additional statement that tbe engine No. 154 is tbe one that was so much admired at tbe Atlanta Expositisn : On Saturday the Atlantic Coast Line's New York and Florida special train made tne greatest record-breaking run ever known in the South, overshadow ing the record for speed made by the famous flyer over the same track on Au gust 36th. 1894. It will be remembered that that train made the world's record long distance ran. Tbe run made on Saturday, so far as speed was concerned, beat that of the Pythian train for tbe same distance and is better than tbe re cord of the New York oumal s special, which recently went 228 miles in 237 minutes. j Tbe run Saturday was made by mogui engine No. 154, a big machine of tbe "trailer" pattern, in charge of 'Engineer L. Wacksmith. and a train ot six Pull man cars in charge of Conductor G. D. Pugh. Tbe train was heavier than the Pythian train, being composed of six 70-foot cars, while the Pythiau train had only four Pullman coacbes. ! Tbe record was made between Flor ence, S. C, and South Rocky Mount, N. C, a distance of 172 3 miles. The record books show these figures : Actual time between the two points..... 196 minutes Time lost bv stops. 22 minutes Actual running time .174 minutes The average speed was, tberefore, 59.3 miles per hour. The average speed of the Pythian fiver between these points was 56 3 miles per hour. Tbe record of this trip was as follows : Actual time between the two points 195 minutes Time lost by stops 11 minutes Actual running time 184 minutes This record was mad: oy Engineer . R. Bissett and Conductor W. J. Hill, the engine being of the same make and style as that used Saturday. The Coas: Line officials are necessa rily very proud of tbe feat which has been accomplished. .

Consternation Amost the Spaniards. Havana. March 5. A bold attack on Havana was made on Wednesday by the Cuban forces, commanded by Brigadier Arangneren. Simultaneous assaults were made on the suburbs of Jesus del Monte and Cerro, and the insurgents reached the capital itself, firing from the road of Jesus del Monte to tbe fort of Atares. At the Cerro thev entered by the main road, ransacking many stores and put ting the whole population in a panic. ' Tbe fort of Atares answered the fire of the Cubans, who, after two houas, re tired in the direction of Managua. It is supposed now that Arangneren is en camped at El Cotoxro, a few miles from the capital. Since the' beginning of the war this was the most Important engagement in the province of Havana.
