W hite II oil se Reception Thursday
Evening.
Special to t he News and Observer
Washington, D C , Jan 12
It, is now generally conceded that the
President will call an extra session of
Congre-s if the present seesion docs not
pass a flna'-eial measure.
Mr. Goiman's remedy of a bond issue
has many backers, chiefly Republicans,
but will it hardly get through the
Senate.
Senator Allen Inconsistent.
Last Sunday I commended Senator
Allen. P pul ist, for his light against the
Senate restaurant extravagancy The
Washington Post show’s the Senator up
in r it her a bad light in the following in
cident :
Yesterday Mr Allen was asked whether
he would like to go out to Illinois with
the remains of the late Representative
Post
“Yes,” be replied, “and 1 would like
to take my daughter wbh me ”
As it is not customary for Senators or
members to convert a funeral escort into
a junketing trip for their families, Mr
Allen's request necessitated a conference
between the officials of the S mate and
of the II >ußo. A messenger from the
ofllce of Sergeant at-Arms Bright saw
the Sergeant at Arms of the House and
finally it was concluded to allow Senator
Allen’s daughter to join the party.
night the Senator and the lady
appeare ' promptly at the Baltimore and
Ohio depot, just before 8 o'clock When
the Post repoiter saw them they were
occupying very comfortable quarters in
a brilliantly lighted Pullman car, wuih a
colored }M>rter attending to their wants.
“Does Muss Allen go at the expanse of
the government ?" as%ed the Post repor
ter of Assistant Sergeant at-Arras Moh
ler.
“O, yes ” was the reply.
“And Senator Allen has not bought a
ticket for her ?”
“Certainly not. She will return with
the party, so far as 1 know She is the
only lady brought by any member of th»
committee, although Mr. Post's widow
and daughter are going with us. and we
were afraid that, she might not find the
trip very pleasant.”
At exactly 8 o'clock Senator All *n and
his daughter left on their trip to the
southwestern part ot Illinois, at govern
meat expens* 8. And the starving poor
are still starving an l the toiling millions
are still toiling, and there is still the
same reckless disregard of the expendi
ture, not to s»y larceny, of public
money.

FLOOD IN THE CAFE FEAR.
Largest Overflow Since 1801—The
Water Still Rapidly ltisiug.
1 Special to the News and Observer.
Fayetteville, N. 0., Jan. 12.
Not since the big freshet in 1804, dur
ing ihe passing through here of Sher
man's army on its famous march to
; the sea, has there been such a flood in
it he Cape Fear river as there is now.
Toe present overflow will beat all forim r
r- cords if present indications go for any
thing. The river banks do not count in
j this record breaker.
The swamps above here are all sub
merged, the river is now sixty feet above
common water and rising at the rate of
four inches per hour, from 4 to 5 o'clock
this p. m there was a rise of six inches,
from 5 to 0 o'clock the rise was four and
i three quarter inches. Th6 river men fig
! ure that the water will reach its full flood
at 1 o'clock a. m to-morrow. The drift
is very heavy and numerous boatmen are
j engaged iu catching the valuable logs
j which have drifted from mills above.
The riv**r has backed up Mill creek and
Newberry's furniture factory, located
right in the heart of the city is entirely
j submerged and all machinery is stooped.
Niruook's roller mill is stopped on account
of high water, McLure and Greoamyer’s
large saw mill and dry kilns are all un
der water and the lumber yards are ex
pec ting to float away at any time. The
j damage to farmers and mill men along
the river is very large.

Washington, I). CL, Jan. 12.—Mr.
Wilson, (Rep.) of lowa, was present in
the Senate Chamber for t'.e first time
this session. He had been absent during
the closing months of the last session on
account of illness. The only Senators
who l ave not yet reported themselves at
the present session are Mr. Jones. (Pop.)
of Nevada, and Mr. Irby, (Dem.) of
SouCi Carolina.
The fortification bill was reported
back with amendments from .the Com
mittee on Appropriations and was placed
on the calendar.
Mr. Teller ou the Fiuanicnl Situation.
The urgent deficiency bill was taken
up and Mr. Teller addressed the Senate.
He held the close attention for ever
three hours of a large audience on the
floor and in the galleries, as he delivered,
with great earnestness and eloquence,
his views on the financial condition of
the government. He held up to ridicule
and contempt what he called “the fran
tie appeals’ of the executive depart
rnent and said that those appeals showed
that that branch of the gover; raeut was
in wrong hands. He spoke of the Oar
-1 isle bill offered iu the House as a bd
which, for crudities and absurdities, had
had few equals in this or any other
Congress, and said that if it had been
introduced by a member of the Populist
patty it would have been regarded as th
height of lunacy. His own remedy for
the existing condition of things was to
enl irge the metallic basis of tne country
by the restoration of silver money. Lo*
prices in the United Sta H’s and in the
world were the result, ho said, of the
demonetization of silver. He declared
himself ready to join iu any coinpro
mise that was not a base surrender aud
abandonment of silver as a money, and
by which silver could be replaced in th*
monetary system of the United States,
and (through its agency) in that of the
world.
Silver and ihe Income Tax.
He was followed by Mr. Lodge (Rep ),
of Massachusetts, who announced hi.*
hostility to an income tax. not only be
cause it w’as bad in itself, but because it
was a great step toward the ruin of tin
protective system, and by Mr. Stewart
(Pop,), of Nevada, who sayv in the full
restoration of silver as money the only
possible remedy for the existing financial
troubles. Mr Stewart had not finished
his speech when, at 4:45, the Senate ad
journed till Monday.
TIIE DAY IN THE HORSE.
Resolution to Give Seed to the Drouth-
Mrieken North West.
Washington, D. C.. Jan. 12.—Mr
Hatch, of Missouri, in accordance with
the requ- st of the National Dairy Union,
expressed in a resolution adopted at the
meeting of the Uuion yesterday, at
tempted to-day io secure the passage of
Mr. Grout's bill to make oleomargarine,
butterine and other imitations of dairy
products subject to the laws of any State
in*, vhieh it may lie transported. The
effoitmet auce ssful objection and the
hour allotted for its consideration ex
pired b fore a vote was reached.
The division of the House upon the
preliminary question showed an over
whelming majority in its favor, so that
its passage, when it again c.>m»s up,
seems to be assured.
Seed L*r the Drouth-Stricken West.
Previous to the discussion upon the
oleomargarine bill, Mr. Kemp, (Pop .) of
Nebraska, presented a r- soluiion asking
the Secretary of Agriculture to give to
the drouth stricken regions of t ie North
vvtst as much as possible of the quota
of seeds alloted to him, the distribution
t> be made through the regularly ap
pointed relief committees of the several
States, but. the objection was made to
its present consideration, and it was re
ferred.
But one effort was made to pass a pri
vate bill bv unanimous consent. Mr
Latimer (S. O ) asked consideration of a
bill to pay Newberry College, S. C..
$15,000 for use of the buildings and
property of the College by United States
forces after ihe war had closed. He
made a statement explanatory of the na
tureof the claim, at the close of which
Mr Grosvenor (Republican) of Ohio, ob
jected and the bill went over.
Indian Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Holman reported the Indian ap
propriation bid for the year ending June
30th, 1890, aud Mr. Meyer (La ) reported
the bid to reorganize and improve the
efficiency of the personnel of the navy
and msr'ne corps.
Tho bill cxlifving the pension laws
and the four private peusi m bills favor
ably acted upon at last night's ses ion
were passe<l. The House then proceeded
to the execution of a special order, set
ting apart to-day for the delivery of * ulo
g:es upon the life and services of the
late Representative George B. Shaw, of
Wisconsin. Tributes were paid to his
memory by a number of his associates,
and at their conclusion, at 4 o’clock, the
House, as a further mark of respect, ad
journed uutil Monday.

Last night as the crowd was returning
from the theatre where Mrs. Potter had
j been knifing to death the murderous
Marat, there was discovert d in the upper
; ball of the Yarboro House a crowd of
people running to and fro in an excited
way as if blood had been spilt in some
one of that series of now famous rooms.
Plots have been going on thick and dark
during the week.
List night the Republican caucus,
f reed by Pritchard and his triends, de
veloped into a scene that was t umultuous.
The Republicans of the llou*e and
-senate were all th* re in j uut caucus for
the purpn*e of nominating a Senator,
! end Ewart and Holton were determin* *1
| that that Senator should not be Pi itch
ard.
If it lie true, as is claimed, that
i Pritchard threw down the gaunt et of
| the caucus, then it would seem that last
night's rapier match drew blood from
th** mountaineer man of Madison
But of the pr. ceedings: Ewart was
called to the chair, Pritchad's friends
, say temporarily, and the attempt was
i made to bring about a nomination. It
was the method of the mountaineer pur
i sued itt the audacious, rugged way of
■ the mountaineer The sta wart Son of
the Smokies opened the Jack-pot- and the
other side went in, anil got a
betting hand. Pritchard ma te his bet,
which was raised, and the raise went on
for a score or more < f ballots, and ad
journed until Monday night, when a de
cisive “call” is looked for. Can anybody
be holding a Royal Flush?
The tiist vote for adjournment stood
29 to 29, with Chairman Ewart not vnt,
ing Ttm full attendance of the Repub
licans was there.
“That tie was the lowest Pritchard
vote,” said Jim Young, until the Pritch
ard forces voluntarily retired, for tin*
reason say some, that at least three of
their number namely, White and Me
i Caul-y, of Alamance, and Henderson, ot
Wilkes, were by reason of age aud f »tigue
unwilling to sit longer in the turmoil
I saw \lr. White who, as to himself,
confirmed this story, s tying t »at it was
Suurdiy night but that on Monday
night it would be a finish tight and that
tie thought Pritchard would he nomi
! nated.
“But, Mr. White, are you not for Jim
Boyd ?”
j “I am a Boyd man, but l am for
Pritchard as against the other crowd.”
Bets were fr« ely exchanged in the ex
i citement iu the hall, and 1 >ud cri**s of
SIOO wagers were echo d along the dim
! way. One of these bets was closed he
tween Tom 8* tt e and Mar-hall Mott, the
former having bet that Pritchard
j wouldn’t be nominated, Moody being
stake holder.
One dramatic incident, mention of
which cannot be made here, showed to a
dead certainty that Butler is a warm
Pritchard partisan, and it may he that
the Wizard's wits may l>e put to the r
! best to day in away to deprive him
! of the same amount of pleasure in the
! gosp> 1 that h * seemed to take last night
m the play of Charlotte Corday.
Pritchard is confident and so express'd
himself, and s > was Major Grant. Sc a
j tor from Golds’ oro, who claimed that
there were about fifty ballots, though one
Pritchard man said there were not more
than a half dozen or so. Nobody seemed
to remember, so great was the tenseness
of friends and candidates
As l slid, Ewart in the chair did not
vote to un ie the tie, and “why not ? ’ 1
asked Mr. Ewart, who was closeted in
his r K)m with Z-b Vance Wal-er, who,
: str mgely enough, must by the logic of
the situation, and his vote and fight last
nighr be counted against Pritchard
••Well,” said Mr E vart, i*l was against
i the caucus to-night because it was S it
ur.iay night, an t because I never have
known of such a caucus being held uutil
the Thursday before election."
“Were you not also anxi ms to g t, the
E Igecombe e'eetion cases settled ? This
is charged by rhe other side ”
“Not exactly that: for the Edgecombe
eases o m not be settled before the 23d,
but l did think that should any of the
cases be settled in favor of the con
that it w uil*l be but right for
th*‘m to vo’6 for Senator.”
“Why did you nor vo'e, Mr. Ewart?’’
“I was in a delicate position, being as
you know a candiaate. and I was to
have been nominated last night.”
After Mr. Ewart left the chair, Mr.
Lusk, one of Pritchard’s strongest, sup
porters t >ok his place, and it is said that
Ewart, voted only once on the floor when
the vo’e stood 31 to 28. The lowest was
30 to 29 au 1 it is confidently claimed
that Pritchard has 34 votes.
Pritchard sdl: “If 31 beats 28, I
shall l>e nominated when the caucus
reconvenes. The bdlotiug show* that
the combined opposition cannot defeat
me. ”
Major Grant said: “We took forty or
fifty ballots and we voted down the fili
bu-tering motions every time by a vo*e
of 3t to •J’*, but finally consented to ad
jouru, knowing that it would not effect
PrPehaul's chances."
Dr. Mott said : “They only adjourned
b cause Sunday was approaching and
those who favored a ballot did not want
to run the ctueus into Sunday. It was
NUMB R *4B
n>t a victory torth>>ett ■■ Holton com

New Yo k, Jan. 12.
There was nothing in th ' news received
here f ami the South or Liverpool oalcu
laied to influence prices much either way
ami as the local operator w* re not in
dined to increase their interests the
speculati ns were very tame. As a mat
ter of f*ct it was aland the dullest Satur
day half holiday market we ha>e ever
had. The total sales barely exceeded
17,000 bales, and the fluctuations in pri
ces were confined within a range of two
points The receipts at New Orleans on
Monday are esumtitd at 13,00 to 16,0000
bales against 2,026 last w«*«*k and 9,028
last year. The total receipts at all ports
during the c tniug week are estimated at
18.000 bales against 21u,800 this week
and 159,6H1 last year
In Fall River, Massachusetts, the
market has been a git ited and unset t led
throughout. At the closing, however,
it is quiet and ea*y on a ha*is of 29 10
cents for extras, sellers having success
fully combatted the efforts of the buyers
to bring tho price down t.*> 2 12 cents,
the fi*west price in the history of the
country. Operations were <*n a more
extended scale. Production 210,000; de
liveries 226,000 pieces; sales 106,000
pieces, including 84,000 odds and 82,000
sixty-foursquares, of which 54.500 were
spots and 112,000 futures. Stock
98,000 odds and 50,000 sixty
four squares. Total, 118,000 pieces.
If the price should recede to 2jf
cents there m ly be a return of the trouble
experienced in August and during the
fall of 1894, but the depression in the
value of raw material offsets this in a
great measure.

Politic* or Cooking ?
Ruth Ashmore in Ladies’ Jou-nal.
Do 1 object to women speakin/ in pub
lie? I do, most emphatically. With
advanced woman I have no sympathw
and I think the t*est influence a wom<jp
can wield is in her own home, and fly
the example of her own good aud trjo
life. . . , ldo not think women <Mu
be good politicians and g >od mothfils,
wives and daughters, too. I do not think
a woman can speak on politics to nfcht
and l>e interested in having a dainty
dinner as a rest for her husband to rior
row night.

women had the right to vote you would
also assume the right to stand up in the
crowded street cars, all the same as the

street cars put on the tracks or they
would take the company’s privileges
away.”
A Compliment to Judge Shepherd.
The Elizabeth City Carolinian, Repub
lican, says in its last issue: “There was
one man on the last Democratic State
ticket that we felt so~ry we could not sup
port, and that was Hon. James Shepherd.
Knowing him for years, and having pro
found respect for him as a man, and for
his ability and his impartiality as a Judge
of both the Superior and Supreme
Courts, it was, we confess, with great
reluctance that we withheld our vote
from him.”.
