A very strong petition signed by more than a hundred representative business and professional men asking the General Assembly not to pass the city charter unless submitted to the people for ratification at the polls. was yesterday forwarded by tele graph to State Senator Morton and it serves as a substantial support to his contention all along that before a measure of so much moment and against which there is such a strong sentiment, should be put upon the I people, they should have the rights of L,,,, at Ug. It has shown that h wouid en. tail no further expense, time or trouble to have the people pass upon the measure at the pri maries ten days from date and as Senator Morton contemplates no fur ther amendments than submitting it to the people, this appears easily the best solution of a question which has been, widely discussed for the past two or three months.

A bill was introduced in the Senate by Aycock to day, the object of which is to put the A. and M. College under control of the Agricultural DtDart- ment, so the oollege can get the sur plus income of the department.

The only ones, notable were to charter the Atlantic and Northwestern Rail road Company: to establish a stock law in parts of Pamlico. A bill passed the House this after noon providing prohibition for Fay etteville and Cumberland county. The discussion was very lively. Curtis said the Assembly had enough of this Cumberland fight and moved to table tbe bill.-- The motion was lost and the bill passed final reading 64 to 33. If the bill passes the Senate it will abolish the Fayetteville dispensary and establish prohibition throughout the county. The general school law passed the House, with amendments exempting Bladen, Gates and Lenoir counties from the operation of section 16, as to qualifications of superintendents. The bill incorporating the State's prison and providing for its govern ment by a board of five directors. passed without material amendment It provides that the. Qoverno? appoint the directors and the chairman be superintendent A great portion of the . morning ses sion of the House was devoted to con sideration of the revenue act Much of the time was consumed by discus sion of &e income, tax, and it was finally lett opan for further discussion later. Sections 49 to 70 were consid ered and nearly all passed upon. Sec tion 68 was reconsidered and referred to a committee. "Ae following among other bills passed the House to-night: To allow Sanford to issue bonds for water works; to allow tax collectors to carry concealed weapons; to prevent live stock running at large in Bladen county; to incorporate the Wayne and Sampson Railroad Company; to incor porate CJarkton) making certain sec tions of Pamlico, Perquimans and Chowan counties stock law territory; to incorporate certain churches in Robeson county U7 incorporate Car thenian Lodge of Masons, ' Rocky Mount The bill providing for courts for sixteen judicial districts was consid ered this afternoon and ty-night fin ally passed, with an amendment that L.

The Joint Committee .on Finance, - Annrooriations and Education conn aidered appropriations for various'edu- catlonal irstitutions to-nignt anu no dded upon the following : TJniver- j zity regular, $50,000 j extra,:$30,000i total $80,000.

The Committee bri?- Privileges and Elections decided to; report ,fatoral forlthe sitting memberr Wilcox B. Seawell in the election contest from Moore county; The case, is unique because the decision was not reached until tbe last week beforedjournment of the House. Advocates and opponents of the Wilmington Pilotage bill reached an agreement to-day by which the bill will pass the Senate to-morrow with ah amendment that vessels pay the in ward and outward pilotage fee once, and then have license for ayear at 25 cents per registered .ton. This is a concession on the part of advocates of the bill to the extent of paying the first outward fee. . Messrs. Arringdale, Parsley and Uapt Adkins left for their homes this afternoon. RIVER AND HARBOR WORK. Failure of the Bill io Coagresf Results Seriously to Cape Fear and Other Improvement It develops that the failure of the river and harbor biU to pass the Con gress of . jthe.Unite4; Stwi ..wia. b.i seriouslyfeltlocaliy anof that it will result in a practical cessation of the river and harbor work here and in the thro wine; .out of employment of 50 or 60 persons. . This will not only be the effect of the failure of the bill to pass but all . over North Carolina and the country at large the force engaged in this work will be largely reduced. All the dredges, tugs, scows, stump pullers and . other floating apparatus in the Cape Fear improvement will be called in and their crews discharged except only a few men to have charge of the boats while laid up in the yards, which - for this .section will likely be at Wilmington or Newborn, j Another appropriation to begin the work is not possible before March,' 1902. It is quite likely, also, that the clerical force in the several offices will be reduced. A number of the men laid off, however, can secure work at Fort Caswell, the improvement of which will not be hampered by the cutting; off Of the appropriation. It, of course, necessarily follows that the plans for the mooring dolphins, upper Cape Fear improvement, deep ening of Northeast river, an inland water-way, and other projects, have all been shattered, to say nothing of the very material improvements that have gone on in the lower Cape Fear for the past several years.
