But Another Att'-mpt AA ill Probably !>«* Made Next Week to Pas* the Bill —Til -Vance Memorial Exercises on The lillh—Charlotte Mill Bet It* Public I* rk--Mr. Henderson’s Po*t otfice Hill--Kitnsont and Hill on I u- Iriendly Terms. Special to the News and Observer. Washington, 1). C., Jan. 15. Mr. Carlisle has not given up his finan ciai plan yet. Twenty-five members who* voted against the report of the Commit tee on Rules, say they are ready to vote for it with a few modifications, and ex pected to do so after having an oppor tunity to vote on the alternative proposi tion first. It is believed next week that, in view of the attitude of these gentle men, another attempt to pass it will be made iu the House, with more promise of success. But there is no way of predicting that is worth much. Every Democrat here wants to do something, but the differ ences of opinion are so radical that it is difficult to agree upon any plan. The Republicans, who can prevent ac tion in the Senate, are saying nothing, and refuse t*> lend any assistance to any legislation, preferring to wait till next December when they will be in power in both hou-es of Congress. If in thing is done at this session, the President will call an extra session of Congress to pass a measure. The Repub beans will then come to the bat. As a matter of fact, they are more in har inony with tin* President on purely finan cial questions than the majority of the Democrats, and unless prevented by the silver contingent in the Senate, they would withdraw all the treasury notes and pay them iu bonds. The President, failing to secure anything else, would doubtless approve the bill. That would be the measure of “financial relief” the Republicans would give the country. They would vote for such a measure now if the Democrats would push it, but the Democrats are unwilling to further re duce the amount of money in cireula tit n when the West and South are clam oriug for inflation rather than contrac tion. Ransom and Hill Out. In the lively debate iu the Senate yes terday between Senators Gorman and Hill, the question of caucus secrets came up Hill claimed that if a v t,.in eon tr ::>!> made by Gorman ai .« : u< the secret was kept better than any others. Just then Senator Ransom arose and iua tn<*st emphatic manner declared that one caucus secret had bean better kept than the one referred to, but per baps the New York Senator might not care to have it divulged. There the col loquy ended, but across the desks Gen Ransom and Senator Hill kept up the talk. It could not be heard in the gal leries. It is well known here that when the Democratic caucus was held to elect the pres* lit officers of the Senate it was re i ported that Senators Ransom and Hill k had a serious misunderstandi i g. N» it In r ■ would talk at the time. They are equally ■ reticent now, but things got danger- Hously warm yesterday V Likes the New* and Observer. W T.

He should pay t mm interest at 7 per cent on their sum and should give them a dividend • qud to the dividend he received. For the first two years no money was made the river being too low to float rafts of the wood. T**ak is very light but is not so that it can ll xit in very shallow water.

TO INSPECT DIAMOND SHOALS. A Light House to be Bail I off Ilatteras Costing Several Hundred Millions. Washington, D. C.. Jan. 15. —Captain Miliis, engineer, secretary of the Light house Board, left here this afternoon for Elizalx'th, N. 0. From that point he will take a light house tender and proceed to Diamond Shoal off Cape Matt eras, and a personal inspection of the shoals to determine, if possible, if they are of a shifting character. Last fall a temporary structure was I erected on a temporary foundation, to ascertain if the nature of the sands would permit of the erection of a lighthouse ;at this dangerous point. All reports re ' eeived here arc to the effect that the temporary structure aud its foundation have withstood the winter's storms well aud that it has been demonstrated that the character of ihe shoals are such that a ighthouse may with safety be erected thereon. The fact that it is contemplated to build a lighthouse that will cost- several hundred thousand dollars renders it im pel taut to ascertain iu advance the na ture of the sands before putting up such a structure on foundations that may be washed away at any time.

CASIMIR-PERIER RESIGNS THE PRESIDENCY OF THE FREACH REPUBLIC. WILD EXCITEMENT IN PARIS. Being enable to Solve the Problem Presented hv the Resignation of Pre mier l)npay He Gives Up His Official Functions--lle had Hop' d to Remain Outside the Lines of Party Struvgle. and that He Might Have the Confi dence of all Parties Paris, Jan. 15.—M. Casimir-Perier has resigned the office of Presi dent of France. He announced his resignation this afternoon at a specially summoned meeting of the Cabinet, hav ing previously informed M Callimel- Lacour, the President of the Senate, of his inability to solve the prob lem presented by the resignation of Premier Dupuy. The news of the President’s resignation spread like wild fire throughout Paris and was received everywhere with consternation amounting almost to paralysis. In the newspaper offices the first report was considered absurd, but was soon eon firmed. Almost simultaneously crowds began gathering in front of the newspa per offices and in the public places, in quiring for further particulars and dis cussing the situation. The official com m urination, dictated or written by M Casimir-Perier, was made public before midnight: The Official Communication. “The President of the Republic has takeu a resolution to resign his official functions. Yesterday's proceedings and vote in the Chamber of Deputies are. in his eyes, but secondary incidents ot the struggle that has begun against parlia mentarv regime and public liberty. He had hoped that the President of the Republic being unprovided with means of action, would remain out side the lines of party struggles, and that the political confidence of all jar ties would give him the nee ssary force and authority. lb* had hop d that those, who, in spite of himself, had placed him in a position where he cannot defend himself, would undertake the defense <>f the first magistrate of the State. He has requested the ministers to withdraw their resignations provisionally in order to assure the regular transmission of his powers to his successor.” Interview with M. Challemel-Laeour. M. Challemel-Laeour, president of the Senate, courteously allowed himself to be interviewed by the United Press cor respondent this evening, knowing the great pressure of business suddenly thrust u him by resig nation. He said Trundle had not y.-trir 4 tided whether to convoke the national assembly to elect a successor to Casimir Perier on the 18t,h or 19th instant. He will probably announce the date to raor row. Casimir-Perier's reference in his pub lic communication to his inability to de fend himself in the presidency, may be explained by the fact that as he was a sub Secretary of State in the cabinet, which concluded the railway convention 1893, he regards the adverse vote on the subject Monday as a personal rt (lection u|x>n him, although he had no vote in the cabinet when the conventions were made Whether this be the true reason of Ids resignation or not, it proves to w hat lengths lie is prepared to go against t>e socialists, whom he regards as planning a revolution. When the Uni ted Pre>s correspondent left the Cham -1,, r of Deputies at 7 o’clock this evening, not the slightest allusion of Casimir- Perier's intention to resigu had been even suggested, so that the announce ment, when made, came like a thunuer clap from a clear sky Newspaper men received the news with jubilation. The editors of La Petite R* puhlique were wildly elated, but considered it certain that Casimir-Perier would lie le-elected if he would be a candidate again. Oih r wise, there is a concern-us of opinion ihat Henry Brisson is ceitain to be elec ted to the Presidency of the Republic. How it is Retarded in England. ! ondon, Jan. 15. —The Morning News will say : There is nothing to justify Casimir-Perier iu regarding recent events as proof of a want of trust iu him. lie has deserted his party at a time of diffi culty and auxietv, plunging France into a state of political revolution. The Morning Post will say: The French republic cannot progress while her leading men consider public life nothing better than a rehearsal of ama teur theatricals. French public life is vitiated by vanity, selfish ness, stupidity and folly. The result is that one of the few sane and sensible politicians iu France have found it impossible to keep things quiet. It is idle to talk of such men as Dupuy and Brissom. The time has come for a military leader of the Fibre of Bismarck or Giorko or Crispi. The Daily Chronicle: “Casimir-Pe ier proved to be a republican of unimpeach able integrity. If he persists in his res ignation it will be a bad blow for France. Charleston VV ill Send Aid. CHARLESTON, 8. C., Jail. In.

Special to the News and Observer Winston, N C., Jan. 15. In an interview to day District At tor ney Glenn, of the Western North Caro lina District, said that the statements made in an editorial in the New York World last Saturday to the effect that Attorney General Olney had interferred with his suit against the American To bacco Company for operating in North Carolina as a trust was not strictly true. He said that some time in the fall of 1893 he was requested by the Attorney General to make a report in regard to trusts, etc., in this district; that in the fall of 1894 > e went to see the Attorney General with a view to indicting the American Tobacco trust for its illegal conduct in North Carolina, and was au thorized by the Attorney General to serve a bill if they were violating the law ; that he drew a bill, but could not get it prepared by the October court at Greensboro, and carried it in person to the Attorney General, with the request that he examine it and make any cor rections that he thought best. Afterwards he saw the Attorney General, and they thought it best not to serve the bill during the heated cam paign then in progress in North Carolina, and after the election still held it up to see the decision in the indictment against the sugar trust, which involved many charges similar to those made in the bill against the American Tobacco Company. The district attorney says that there is no court in this district until April Ist, when he expects to send in the bill of indictment \\ ith i he approval of Attorney General Olney, and will push it to a hearing. It was learned here to day that the American Tobacco Company sent an ex pert machinist from the North to Win ston a few we* ks ago for the purpose of examining the new cigarette machines used by the Winston manufacturers and against which the Wert has applied for an injunction. The stranger came here ami palmed himself off as a large cigarette jobber. He was permitted to go through one of the factories and examine one of the mu chines without suspicion. A few days after his departure the cigarette men here were notified to appear before Judge Simouton at Charleston, S. C. ANOTHER CHECKER GAME.

Chairman M alters Discusses t he Out look of the Association—He Doesn’t Think Rate-Catling Is the Reason lor So Many Railroads Having With drawn—\ Mass Meeting Soon to be Held in Atlanta. New. York. Jan. 15. —As a result of a conference of ten mem Iters of the Southern Perse utter Association held this morning at the Waldorf Hotel, it was decided to call a mass meeting within three weeks at Atlanta, Gu., of all persons interested in the Southern passenger traffic. “Several roads be longing to the Passeng* r Association,” said Chairman H. Walters, at the close of the meeting, “have given notice of withdrawal, and unless we can get them to remain and get in new members, the association may be dissolved. The conference was secret and re licence was observed by all interested. Embraces Twenty-Throe Roads. The Southern Passenger Assoc ation embraces the managing officers of twenty three roads south of the Potomac and Ohio rivets, and east of the Missis sippi. The annual meeting was to have been held to-day, but it was found that outside of the Commissioner and Abst ain Commissioner, but eight roads were repteseuted. This was three less than a quorum, the Association, with the C m missioner and Assistant Commissioner, haring a total representation of t wenty five, making a quorum of thirteen me essary. No in**e ing could, therefore, he held. It was tin u resolved to hold a conference and informally discuss the Association’s affairs. Those present were Commissioner K. P. Stahlmau, assistant commissioner, M. A. Slaughter and B. W. Wrenti, repre senting the Alabama Midland Railway, the Brunswick and Western Railroad the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, and the Savannah, Florida and W* stern Rail way; H. P.

Walters, pies ident of the association, who acted as chairman of the conference, made the following announcement: “No quorum being present, we re i solved ourselves ihto a general eonfer ; once, and according to ;t resolution pass j ed, a call is to be issued fora mass meet ing for all those interested in passeng* r traffic in the territory of the Southern Pass* nger Association, at Atlanta, Ga. The time for calling the mass meeting is limited to three weeks from date and resolution directs myself to decide on the date. ” Several Roads Withdraw. Mr. Walters declined to give either the names of the mover of the resolution or those taking part in the discussion dur ing the conference, but added: “Several members of the association have signified their intention of withdrawing. Their withdrawal would seriously affect the association, and for that reason we will issue a call for a mass meeting of per sons interested in Southern traffic and there make an effort to strengthen the association. That we can do if we suc ceed in persuading the would-be seced ers to remain with us, or get enough <>ti ers to take their places. Unless wo can succeed in doing some thing the Southern Passenger Associa tion may have to be dissolved.” “What is the outlook for the Associ i tion at present i" asked a reporter. “Well, I wouldn’t like to say,” an swere I Chairman Walter-, with some hesitation, “as 1 don’t wish my opinion to influence anybody, one way or the other. But I may say that the outlook for keeping the association ou its feet is a fair one.” Reason lor Their Withdrawal When asked the reason for various rail roads deciding to withdraw. Chairman Walters replied: “We will hold the mass meeting to try to find out. Nobody seems to kdow. There are alway s bound to be dissenting policies and views in an organization, but 1 don’t think people who wish to withdraw know the reason for their action. However we have to get the dissatisfied menders and help them to some sort of an agreement which will be satisfactory all around.” Chairmru Walters said he h d no rea son to believe that rate-cutting was the cause of the dissatisfaction, as very little of it had been done. Mr. Slaughter’s rei>ort for the year ending November 30, 1894, was distrib uted in printed form amor g those pres cut. According to that document eleven of the twenty-three railroads in the as sociation have given notice of withdraw al, to take effect six months aft r re e ipt. Names ot Tho*e W ithdrawing.

The Southern Passenger Association was started in iss2. Chairman Walters said that then* were probably a hundred roads in the South, from which the as social ion could gain accessions. He was not prepared to say whether or not a rate war would result if the association was dissolved. DAY IN THE SEN ATE. Discussion of the Deficiency Bill lie- Mimed by M >mn. Vilen anil McCall. Washington. D C,. Jan. 15 Reso lutions were offered by Mr. Manderson and agreed to. calling on the Secretary of the Tre sury for information as to the quantity of spirits withdrawn from ware houses, and the quantity of sugar im ported each day during the two months prior to August 20, 1894, with the names of the owners and importers, and the amount of taxes and dutiis paid thereon. Two bills were passed authorizing the construction of bridges in Southwestern States, and then the Senate resumed consideration of the urgent deficiency bill. Speeches on the Deficiency Bill, Two speeches on this were made, one bv Mr. Call, and the other by Mr. Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska. Mr Call’s was di reeled largely to the unequal distiibu tion of wealth in the United States and England, and t<> the a< cumulation of enormous fortunes by a few families, which condition of things he attributed to legislation that created franchises and monopolies Mr. Allen’s speech aimed at defending the Populist party from the assumption that it was a party of vagaries lie as serted that there was no vagary in the Omaha platfoim, (not even the sub- Treasury) that could be compared with the Deuocratic vagary of the pro p s*d repeal of the tax on State bank cir culation. Ho was facetious and am us ing in his references to yesterday’s “love feast” betwt-t t leading • of the Detn o-Aatic and L. %übliean parses in the Senate; to their “falling on niecks and weeping’’; to Mr. Gorman’s “Macedon ian cry,” and to Mr Allison’s response with an offer of assistance. He s-dd that it had never dawned on members of these two parties that neither of them was to have charge of the government of the country, and that it wmld be turned over the Populist party in 1896; and ho predicted that this was to happen, the other two parties having confessed their inability to manage and control the affairs of the government. At the close of Mr. Allen's speech, tin* Senate proceeded to the consideration of ex* cutive business. At 4:50, the Senate adjourned. THE DIFFERENTIAL MUST GO. A Bill to be lleported Favorably Abol ishing the Duly oil Imported Sugar. Washington, I). C., Jan. 15.—The Ways aud Means Committee to-day by a striet party vote agreed to report favor ably the bill abolishing the differential duty of one-tenth of a cent a pound on sugars imported from countries paying an export bounty. Those present were Wilson. Montgomery, Bynum, Whiting, Stevens, Turner and Bryan, Democrats; and Reed, Hoskins and Dalzell, Republi caus. The v* te on the bill .was preceeded by a limning discussion which consumed the grater part of the session. The Re publicans opposed the bill. Their con tention was made that by passing such a measure the Unittd States would be acknowledging the claim of Germany that any leg'slation she may make in her country, relating t<» her people, van com pel us to change or modify our legisla tion respecting American duties, < r else break our treaty stipulations. The Republicans further contended that this legislation is general and re lates to all bounty paying countries and that if Germany puts herself in a posi tion which does not entitle her to the consideration shown to other countries, she must stand the consequence. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska, took substan tially the s;iine view of the case that the Republicans did, but when the roll was called te voted with his party as in favor of reporting ti < bill.
