has been settled that each" of the two
regiments are to have three battalions.
The following scraps of war news is
taken from the Charlotte Observer, un
der date of the 0th:
While the President called for 2,CG7
men from this State, the allotment by
the Secretary of War is only for 2,20;
in other words, for two regiments of in
fantry and a heavy battery.
There will be three companies of ne-.
gro troops and this battalion will, as
already stated, be encamped at Fort
Macon. Jim Young, of Raleigh, it is
said is-to 'be promised the command,
with rank of major.
Tho Adjutant-General says the pay
of tho volunteers dates from April
27fh, the date of the order of mobiliza-,
lion.
The Adjutant-General says Acting
Quartermaster R. C. Marshall, U.S.A.,
leceived a telegram from the War De
partment ordering all arms and equip
ment in tbe possession of the 2sorth
Carolina National Guard to be sent to
Raleigh and directing him to receipt to
the State for the same. The Adjutant
General has telegraphed the Secretary
of War that eighteen companios volun
teered while only twelve failed to vol
teer, and that the latter are needed as a
police power for the State. He request
ed that the arms held b3T them be not
ordered in. He expects a favorable re
ply. It is probable that all these rifles
are being called in to be sent to Cuba
for use in arming the insurgents, as
10,000 havo been called in fromthemil
itavy schools for the same purpose.
An order was received from the War
Department reducing the number of
enlisted men in each company from
eighty-four to eighty, and there was a
dropping of forty-eight men. Quite a
large number of these "left-overs" are
here ready to joiu other companies if
they are needed. '
The followiug is the formation of the
batallions of the First Regiment:
First companies. A, C, D and B;
second companies, E, G, II and F;
third companies, T, L, M and K.

there.
All of the companies that have been
ordered to Raleigh have been examined
and mustered into the United States
Army. The number of men being re
jected by the examining physicians
were very few, which goes to show that

Ex-State Printers' Answer.
Stewart Brothers, of WTnston, former
State printers, have filed an answer to
the complaint filed some time ago by
State Treasurer Worth, and in said
answer they deny specifically the
charges contained in the complaint of
the State Treasurer, and setup in detail
a long counter claim, in which they
allege that the State owes them the sum
of $18,000 or more.
Appointed a Referee.
Samuel P. Mordecai, of Raleigh, is
made a referee in the case of the State
Treasurer against Stewart Brothers,
ex-public printers. It will be remem
bered that the Treasurer got judgement
against the Stewarts for something
like $20,000.

Congress carries an appropriation of
$35,720,943. The bill makes all of th
items available nntil January 1st) 1899.
For the transportation of the army
and its supplies $6,000,000 is appro
priated. The fortification . feature of
the bill, including cannon, ammunition,
machinery, etc, carries 32,886,800.
A signffican feature is an, appropria
tion of $150,03-1 for the expeditionary
force to Cuba. With it is a foot-note
from Major General .Miles, urging that
the fuud is required with the least pos
sible delay. The largest item under any
head is $10,000,000 for clothing, camp
and garrison equippage.
THE SENATE.
May -2d. The Senate passed " the
emergency war deficiency bill, carry-
ing3o,720,943. Hawley, chairman of
the military affairs committee, secured
the passage of a bill providing for the
enlistment of a volunteer brigade of
engineers, and of 10,000 men in the"
South who are immune to yellow fever,
these- enlistments to be in addition td
those provided for in the President'
call for 125,000 volunteers. The toeri
will enlist "for the war." Two other
war measures were passed, one sus
pending for the duration of the war the
restrictions placed by existing laws
upon' the quartermaster's department
of the army, in order that supplies may
be purchased without the present form
alities, and providing that owners of
mining claims shall not forfeit them for
not performing assessment work upon
them, provided they enlist for the war.
The resolution presented by Butler, of
North Carolina, declaring there is no
necessity existing for issuing Jbonds to
provide funds for the war, and in favor
of the levying of an income tax, was
laid before the Senate, and after a short
statement by Butler in support of it,
was referred to the finance committee.
At 1 p. m. the Senate went into execu:
tive session. At 2:35 p. m. the doors
were opened and a recess was taken
until 3 to await the arrival of the emer
gency: war appropriation bill from the;
HonseL It was given immediate con-
aidexation and passed. The Senate then
at 4 o'clock adjourned until the 4th.
Max' 4th. In the Senate the confer
ence report on the fortification appro-;
priation bill was presented and agreed
to. Stewart, of Navada, offered an
amendment as a substitute for the loan
and bond sections of the war revenue"
bill which provided for the issuance of
8300, 000, 000 of Treasury notes. The
following resolution to the con
stitution, relating to the succes
sion of the Presidency, was adopted:
"In all cases not provided for by arti
cle second, clause fifth, of the Consti
tution, where there is no person entitled,
to discharge the duties of the office of
the President, the same shall devolve
upon the Vice-President. The Con
gress may by law provide for the case
where there is no person entitled to
hold the office bf President or Vice
President, declaring what officer shall
act as President and such officer shall
act accordingly until the disability
shall be removed or a President shall
be elected. " Mills, of Texas, proposed
an amendment in the shape of a new
section intended to authorize Congress
to lay a tax on incomes in such a form
as to meet . the requirements of the de
cision of the Supremo Court, but it
was defeated by a vote of 32 to 29. J
; May 5th. The Senate had under
consideration the postoffice appropria
tion bill. The measure carries $99,
221, 300 being very mach the heaviest
of all the appropriation bills. The
most important action taken upon the
measure was the adoption of an amend
ment offered by Tillman, of South
Carolina, reducing the number of de
liveries of mail in all cities to a num
ber not exceeding four each day. The
amendment waa sharply antagonized as
a blow to business interests in the
large cities, but the feeling of the
Senate wss such, that, despite
the vigorous opposition, it pre
vailed by a decisive majority.
The appropriation of $300, 000 for rural
mail delivery was stricken out. Just
before adjournment the Senate passed
an important war measure authorizing
the President and officers of the army
to supply the Cuban insurgents with
arms and munitions of war, and em
powering officers of the army serving
in Cuba to supply the needy inhabi
tants of the island with medicines and
subsistence.
f. THE HOUSE.
May : 2d. The passage of the emer
gency war appropriation bill was the
feature of the day in the House. The
naval appropriation bill, with the Sen
ate amendment approving the payment
of officers of the naVy for the use of
their inventions by the government
stricken out, was reported from con
ference and passed. It now goes to the
President. A number of bills bf minor
importance were passed, and the Alaska
land bill conference report was reject
ed. Dingley, of Maine, in advocating
the war emergency appropriation, called
attention to the probable expense ol
the war and the necessity for extraor
dinary revenue. He said the $50,
000,000 appropriated for defence had
been exhausted; that the present
emergency bill carried .3t, 000,000 and
the expenditures made necessary by
reason of the war would probably
amount very soon to $100,000,000. be
cause of the fortification appropriation.
The bill was then passed without di
vision The bill to increase the num
ber of surgeons in the army was passed.
It provides for an increase of fifteen
assistant surgeons, with the rank of
first lieutenant to be appointed after
examination by an army medical board.
It also authorizes the Surgeon General
with the approval of the Secretary ol
Wav, to appoint in emergency as many
contract surgeons as may be necearv.
May 3r. In the House the bill to
pay the Richmond Locomotive Works
a claim for $u0,5c0 damages forr losses
incurred by the claimant by reason o1
governmental delay in preparing the
battleship Texas for reception of ma
chinery, furnished by the company,
was passed. At the night session
twenty-two pension bills and a number
of acts correcting millitary records of
and removing charges of desertion
standing against soldiera, weie rassed.
May 4th. The House has adopted
the conference report upon the fortifi
cations bill. The remainder of tbe ses
sion was consumed with the considera
tion of the Alaskan land bill, and e
resolution for the passage of an act pro
hibiting the passage of importations io
bond through the territory of the Uni
ted State? intj the 'Tree Zore" ci
Mexico. The latter was passed, "but
the Alaskan measure went over.
May 5th. The House disposed ol
two important measures. The Alaskan
land bill extending the homestead laws
to,' and providing for, land railway
rights of way, as amended by the Sen
ate and agreed upon in conference, was
passed. The labor arbitration meas
ure, providing for the arbitration ol
labor disputes between employes and
certain common carriers, a bill which
had received very wide endorsement by
labor organizations throughout the
country, received the approval of the
House. A number of minor bills were
also passed. The House adjourned
until the 9th..
FIEE'S BUGLE

Revolutionary Lad.
A Special to the Charlotte Observer
from Greensboro, of the 6th, says: The
Gillies monument was unveiled to-day
at Guilford Battleground. Gillies (firs
name not recorded in any history) was
killed by Tarleton's dragoons near Oak
Ridge on the morning of Feb. 12th,
1781, during Green's famous retreat to
the north side of Dan river. He was
with a scouting party, buthad just been
dismounted and made to exchange
horses with the guide and had been or

and being outnumbered, dashed down
the road. The dragoons overtoolOho
bugler, who was left in the race owing
to the countryman's inferior horse, and
killed him with their sabers. The
Americans, now re-enforced, rushed to
his rescue, but too late to save him.
They killed eighteen of the dragoons in
the fight and captured the captain.
The literary societies of Oak Ridge
Institute have erected this cenotaph to
the memory of the bugler. It cost them
about $250.
- The bronze is very beautiful. At the
top is the figure of the bugler in uni
form of Lee's, Legion, superbly mount
