Representative McClammy of New Hanover seems to have gone body and soul over to the f usionists. He was elected as a Democrat. The aggregate of appropriations made by the last Congress is estimated at about $2,000 less than 500,000,000. The largest item is $141,381,570 for pensions. , Among the many Democratic members of the late Congress who favor unconditional bi metallism are Representatives B. F. Grady and W. H. Bower, of this State. Queen Lil of Hawaii was sentenced to a fine of $5,000 and five years' imprisonment for conspiracy to overthrow that government. It may be modified. The chief conspirators are sentenced to thirty- years' imprisonment and heavy anes. Several are banished. The ladies constituting the Southern Me morial and Literaiy Society have decided to spend $13,000 in making fireproof the Jeffer son Davis maision,""fbrmerly the White House of the Confederacy, rnd to convert it at once into a museum for Confederate relics. V. K. Vanderbilt was divoreed from his wife Inst week, a lady of Southern birth and lineage, who is too proud and good to live with a libertine. She gets $3,000,000, three fine houses, her three children and may marry. He cannot marry. Mrs. V anderbilt was Miss Alva Smith, of Mobile and of excellent family. The Senate of New York disgraced itself, says the New York World, by passing a bill to re-establish the whipping post. Fortu nately there is a civilized Governor and a very considerable number of civilized men it the Assembly between the State and the final adoption of any such measure of blundering barbarism. - Editor Stov'all seems to be afraid the Con stitution is going out of the democratic party. On, the' contrary, says the Constitution, we propose to. yank-Editor Stovall back on the platform and hold him there. This same cry was made against, every true democratic pa per in this State by men who have turned out since to have been traitors. Skates were tetted against the bicyele re cently at Copenhagen. W. Henie, a Norwe gian champion skater, who is also a bicylist and won the 100-kilometre world's champion ship at Antwerp last August, raeed against the Danish champion, Svend Hansen, on a safety. At 500 metres the bicycle won in 55 3-5 sec onds. Henie making 61 seconds. In a race of five miles Henie won in 16 minutes 31 sec onds, but Hansen had broken his rear tire. President Faure of France is adding to his popularity by visiting the hospitals of Paris. He enters a hospital, speaks encouragingly to the patients, leaves money to be spent in wine aDd tobaeco for their use and frequently goes into the kitchen to taste the food served to the inmates. Whenever he leaves a hospital he finds a crowd of citizens waiting to cheer him as he enters his carriage. Faure has set out to endear himself to the people at any cost. The total number of newspapers published in the world at present is estimated at abont 50,000, distributed as follows: United States and Canada, 20,934; Germany, 6,000; Great Britain, 8,000; France, 4,300; Japan, 2,000; Italy, 1,500; Austria-Hungary, 1,200; Asia, ex clusive of Japan, 1,000; Spain, 850; Russia, 800; Austria, 800; Greece, 600; Switzerland, 450; Holland, 300; Belgium, 300; all others, 1,000. Of these more than half are printed in the English language. Ex-Congressman W. J.-Bryan, of Nebraska, addressed a large audience in Cincinnati the other day on bimetallism. In an - interview he said he believed the Democrats would nominate nilver men for President and Vice President and that in this event there would be no silver party. He described Thomas B. Reed as a magazine bimetallist and a legisla tive gold-bug, and declared that maoy Re presentatives, and Senators are just like him. Mr. Bryan speaks of Bland, of Missouri, as a strong possibility as a bimetallic candidate for the Presidency ' . . Consul Penfield's report that not one mer chant ship flying the flag of the United States passed through the Suez Canal in 1894 does not greatly differ from the reports on the sub ject in other years. For the decade 1870 to 1SS0, says the New York Sun, only fifteen ships flying the United States flag passed through the canal, and of these several were ships of the navy. Only one ship flying the United States flag was reported as passing the canal in 1883, and there have been years since when no American vessel of any sort passed through the canal. The appointment of Senator Ransom, says the Maxton Scottish Chief,, as minister to Mexico at a salary of $17,50d, and Wilson, of West Virginia, to fill the place of Bizzell, as Post Master General, is looked upon by the great mass of our people more as a reward for their devotion and fealty to the President's financial ("gold-bug") policy than their fideli ty to the best interests of their constituents. We are always ready to rejoice with North Carolinians in the elevation and promotion of any of her citizens, but the true sentiment of the mass of the voters of North Carolina is very poorly expressed in the promotion of Senator Ransom. The Washington conference, sitting in Rich mond, embracing the colored Methodists of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, the Dis trict of Columbia and a part of Pennsylvania, refused to hold a memorial service in honor of Frederick Douglass. The thirty-second annual session of the conference, over which bishop Mallalieu, of Buffalo, N. Y. presided, had just organized, when a resolution was offered to hold a Douglass memorial service with Rev. Dr. J. W. Bowen, of the Gammon Theological seminary of Atlanta, to make the address, it was voted down. Those white things, sitting at Raleigh, are lower in the scale of humanity than negroes.

'Seattle, Washing ton, has been agog with excitement for the past few days over a report that the dead bodies of two infants and a Chinaman bad been found in the main water reservoir in the most aristocratic portion cf the city.

The bodies were flesbless and had evidently been in the reservoir for some time. Miss Blarche Chapman, of Jacksonville, Fla., seventeen years old, the daughter of a day laborer, has just fallen heir to $100,000, part of which is invested in lands in Atlanta. It was left to her by her ancle, the Rev. H. B. Crystal, of (hat city, who died in New York recently. . The Four & easons Hotel of Middlesboro, Ky., was bought in by I. Untennyer, of New York, for $28,000. The original cost was $1,500,000.

During the past 20 years it has aided about 800 needy young men. by loans or scholarships. It is now giving free tuition to 126 stu dents, who eonld not otherwise be edu cated. Of these forty-two are preparing to teach. Fully one-third of the students in the University are aided by loans, scholarships or labor, and over one-third are supporting themselves by money which they themselves bare earned or have been forced to borrow. The spirit of self help is so strong at the University that thirtv-three students, even while par saiDg their studies, are at the same time supporting themselves wholly or in part by labor.

S GoTt Report THE rXIYERSITT COSTS THE STATE TEST LITTLE AND THE AVERAGE TAX-PATER CONTRIBUTES LESS THAN FOUR CENTS A TEAR FOR ITS 8CTTORT. The University received from the State last year $30,000, being $20,000 regular and $10,000 special appropriation. The regnlar appropriation, if collected per capita, would amount to less than It cents per annum to each inhabitant; bat the tax is paid entirely by property, and the mass of the people in the State really contribute notning to its support. A man who pays ooly poll-tax contributes nothing. A man lsted at $100 pays less than three fourths of a cent annually to the regular appro priation, at $500 less than 4 outs, at $1, 000 lest than 8 cents, at $5 000 less than 40 cents. About nine-tenths of the tax payers would pay less than 8 cents a year for an appropriation of $20,000 to tha sop port, of toe University.
