The WaihlDgton oorreepondeot of the Ealelgh Newt and Obeerver, writ Ine oo Monday, tays j Sanatort Orerman and Simrooni were before the Seriate Committee on Commeree today ia the interest of Senator Ofermso'i amendment to the River and Harbor bill to appropriate fifty tbotu&od dollara cash and author ize a oontiDoing appropriation of three hundred thoniand dollari additional for the improvement of the Caps Fear Elver from Wilmioglon to Fayette Tille. The oomvittee adopted the amend ment tor the fifty thousand dollars eash appropriatioo and left the oon -tinning appropriation to the next Con gress. Oar Senators are very hopeful that the necessary foods will be appro priated from time to time, to carry on and complete this great improvement, which it is estimated will cost about a million and a halt dollars. The Associated Pr ess telegram of the same date (February 27) says The Senate Committee on Commeree today completed the River and Harbor Appropriation Bill and it waereportedto the Senate. It esrriep appropriations agereeatine $38,018 367, an increase of $3,662,367 over the bill as passed by the House. Among the Items of in crease adopted by the Senate commit tee r-re i MeoBe and Trent rivers, N. U $25,000; Cape Fear.N. C, $50,000. Senator Overman's amendment was as follows: 68tb Congress, Third Seesion. H. B. 188809. IK TEI BINATI OT THE UNITED 8TATK8, February 14, 1905. ' Referred to the Committee on Com merce and ordered to be printed. AMENDMENT. Intended to be proposed bv Mr. Over man to the bill (H. R. 18809) making appropriations tor the construction, repair, and preservation ot certain public works on rivers and harbors, and for other purposes, viz : Insert the following : Cape Fear River, aboye Wilmington, North Carolina i Continuing improve ment, fifty thousand dollars : Provided, That a oontraot or oontraots may be entered into by the Secretary ot War for eneh materials and woik as may be neoessary to prosecute said improve ment, to be paid for as appropriations may from time to time be made by law, not to exoeed in the aggregate three hundred thousand dollars exclusive of the amounts herein and heretofore ap propriated. UK, PlNOe'8 AO COUNT. Mr. Pence, in bis correspondence in yesterday's Raleigh Post, says: The Senate committee on commeree today added to the river and harbor bill an amendment appropriating ou, 000 for work oo the upper Cape Fear. The snm of $350,000 was asked, but the oommittee took into consideration the fact that there is a $50,000 balance available for this projeot, wbioh would roally give the upper Cape Fear $100,- C00 should the bill pass, and thus per mit the beginning ot work ot a perma nent oharaoter on the proioot. Senator Overman looked after the upper Cape Fear project, while Senator Simmons gave bit attention to the inland water way survey, the fo.lwu appropriation for the Pamlico and Tar and $50,000 for the Neuse and Trent rivers, all ot bioh were added to the bill Saturday. Both the senators were signally sue oessf ul in bebalt ot North Carolina projeots, and Senator Clay, a member of oommittee, this afternoon said : They got about everything there was to be bad." The oommittee reported the bill to the Senate tonight with the new amendments, which oarry about four million dollars in exoess ct the House bill. Chairman Burton is quoted as saying the amended bill will never pass, and it it believed that when the measure goes to conference it friends will proceed to kill many of the Senate amendments. Hiven in tnat event tue obanoes for the passage of the bill are eonsidered very remote. Senators Allison and Hale, two ot the powerful members of the Senate, are known to be against the passage of the measure, and if they so decree it will be put to sleep. TO tXB BITIBS riBTOBI DOUBLI DfftT. Now that our Cape Fear River Ca- naliiition scheme is taking on mote and more a tangible form, the propo sition I, make the dams incident to suoh sohemes do double duty by sup plying eleotrioal power, and thereby paying for the oost ot construction, It ot local interest. The territory within the radios ot eleotrioal distribution from eaoh of the proposed dams on the Cape Fear river, would supply attract ive sites for unnumbered industries. A recent Washington dispatoh says that in the course of his remarks upon a bill providing general legislation re-' gardlng the construction of dams across navigable streams, Mr. Hepburn, chairman of the committee on inter state and foreign oommeroe, made some interesting statements about the oonservation of water power along navigable livers, and the policy to be pursued In dealing therewith. "There are a great mtoy people," he said, "who think that the power in our rivers Is worth more, or may be made so, than their use tor purposes ot nav Igatlon. A great deal of money, In my opinion, will be saved it we adopt this planar utilising the rivers tor power, and require the eonstruetion ot locks it it be desired at any time to improve navigation. For. tostaooei There is now it project being disoussed tor canalising th Ohio river at a cost ot probably more than $100 C0O.00O If wt ean give to individual oorporalions the power that oan be generated through the eonitrnotion ot these dams, at suoh plaoes and in such a wav ss will harmonist with a general plan, I have not a particle of doubl that that river ean oe to improved without the expenditure of a dollar noon lbs part ot the United States. 'We started upon this Sonera at this ttsiioB, wbtn we anthorlstd a dam across the Mississippi between Ksokuk and Hamilton, III. It we bad adopted it thirty years ago BIO UW UUU woma have been saved to the Ueasory. The government will seoore an infinitely better improvement and the people to whom the duty ot making the dam has been entrusted get a franchise of great valne to them and to the people. There will be developed there, at low water, 60,000 horse power, and at high water twioe ts much, from which ean be ois triboted a hundred miles up or down the river power sufficient to furnish eleetrio lights for a region 90 miles in diameter. I think we ought to oo&tieue tbit plan." lUOei OBaHaBI 01 IHB WAE0 BILL. Eal.lgbPortE.port. Mr. Graham of Granville, altbongh very hoarse from bis recent severe cold, spoke against the bill briefly, but very earnestly. He eoold not sec, he said, that the people at large wanted any sueb thing as this and he eoold not under stand why the adyoeates ot the meas ure were displaying all this enthusiasm about a bill in wbioh there was not a partiole of temperanoe. He himself always voted for all bills in whiob there was any temperanoe. Two years ago and in all legislatures ot wbioh be bad been a member many bills had been introduced iooorporating obnrohes and school bouses against the liquor trafflo in their vicinity, and he had nniformly voted tor every one of them, and in this legislature he had voted tor every bill tbat looked to temperanoe. He had voted to annihilate the stills at Hamlet and Hoffman. "Bnt this bill," deolared Mr. Graham, "bodes no good for the temperance cause and only danger for the Demo oratio party." As to the effect ot the Watts bill on crime, Mr. ttrabam said : "1 say now that the amount of crime in North Carolina found on the court dockets comes not from small localities in which whisky is sold, but from the larger towns where there Is police pro teotion. What is to be accomplished by driving liquor from the small towns and saying, 'You ean get all the liquor here from Kentucky if yon want it 1' This bill certainly looks very moob as it it bad something behind it. It looks as it the giant whisky trust is back of it. I know good people want it, but 1 believe they are misled. Not a gallon less whisky will be drunk because of it. Tell me why the advooates ot this bill are not willing to leave this matter to a vote of the people. Now that yen have deolared tbat you can't trust the country people, do you also say tbat you can't trust the people of the small towns either T There is no temperance and no Demooraoy in it." Mr. Mitoheil : "Was there any tern peranoe in the Watts bill 1" Mr. Graham "Powerfol little." Mr. Mitchell ''You did not support that either, did you I" Mr. Graham "No, I did not, and I have never seen the day that I regret ted my vote against it. That bill was misnamed. It ooght to have been oalled 'a bill to promote blookade die tilleries in North Carolina.' The reve one officers say there is more wbiiky being blockaded now than formerly, and it is because the oountry people are angered at being disfranchised and do not report these eases to the govern ment offioers like tbey need to do." Piedmont North Carolina, Mr. lira bam said, was simply overrun with blookade stills at tbis very day. He challenged the advocates of the bill to show that there bad been any decrease of crime on account ot the Watts aot. The challenge was not taken up. A DBSBBVID HOB0B. Ral.igh Nawi and Observer. That was a high tribute the House paid to Judge Graham last night when it adopted The Uode and the amend menta proposed by Jndge Graham's oommittee. Several members spoke in terms of warm praise of the great work done by Judge Graham a work of value to the State that bas not been surpassed by any publio man in North Carolina during this generation. A gentleman, who has bad exceptional opportunity to know the great work Judge Graham bas done for North Carolina dorintr the Legislatures of 1901, 1903 and 1905 said last night tbat it would pay North Carolina to maks Judge Graham a permanent member of the Legislature with a salary ol $5,000 a year. It would pay the State well. Abundant in labors, bohest and oonsoiencious, with a courage tbat knows no faltering in devotion to doty, with large information as to the needs ot the State, Judge Graham is a legis lator worthy ot this or any age, and deserves the gratitude ot the people of North Carolina for all that he has done to lead in shaping its legislation upon sound principles without speoial privilege to any olass.

The first episode in what threatens to be a long series nf mighty upheavals wilt be dated the 22od ot January, 1905, and may be clashed by historians as a vio tory for the antooraoy. A Pyrrhic victory, a wanton massaore, a suicidal deed. It was the nation's baptism of blood, the first overt aot in the saogui nary struggle between monaroh and people, wbioh oan end only in the die appearance of one-man role in Russia. Troe the contest was eertaia to. be waged in any case, whatever attitude the government might bave. taken ou tbat bistorio Saoday The average observer who knew anything about nossiau aiiairs oarj long siooe loreirjeu the coming ot the crisis, and even the thort-iigbted oonld see tbat its advent was nigh. But the issue might bsve been tried aid deoided witbqtt the tffasioo of the innooent blood of the people, and the fateful idectifloa tions of aotoorat and autocraoy which are among the most painfnl results Of the crime and folly that obaraoter Z3d the fonrih Sunday of ibe new year. The Csardom in Rasna, which was a suffioietitly practical system of govern ment when first instituted, had long oeaaed to be felt as other than ao iik some burden. It had become a paraly zing drag on the activity, a terrible drain on the vital foroesot the people, and even the obtuse and igarant masses were rapidly becoming ooneci ous of the faot. For that reason edo cation, which was gradually opeuiu. their eyes to political good and evil, and enabling them to compare tbeii own material misery and spiritua1 darkness with the prosperity and en lightenment'of other nations, was sys tematically hindered in all its form?. And even people ot the upper claeee, learned only very late in life, it at all, tbat the Cztrdom, when first establish ed in Mosoovy, was essentially a limit ed monarchy, and tbat instead of de veloping oo those lines, instead of slowly and jadioiooely qualifying the people to govern themselves, it usurped and misused every known function ot authority, and deprived the multitude ot almost every vestige of right, ontil at last it seemed as if in Russia stale omnipotenoe were wielded by a weak llled boy and Church infallibility were claimed by a fallen spirit. What oan be urged in favor of a ooltural and Christian government wbioh in tbe twentieth oentury forbids profess irs of high schools to proclaim the faot that tbe Emperoi Piol was mordered by bis subjects, and orders tbem to teach tbe students tbat he died of a wound which he accidentally it fl e'ed upon bionelf while eating hi; die net; of a state which im prisons for thirty, forty, or fifty years in murky, dank, stone cells upright, conscientious Christians who bold tbat Luther's teaching is a nearer approach to tbe doctrine of Christ than Ortho doxy!

I.BOV TUB BtlLBtlDa WOT, Ealelgh News and Observer, F.b'y 28th. The LtUKbioghoose bill prescribing that passenger fares in North Carolina be put at three cents first-class, two and a half oents second-class, railroads less than seventy-five miles exempted, and also providing for interchangeable milage booki with tbe railroads to tbe 8tate, was yesterday given an unfavor able report by tbe Senate Committee on Railroads. The bill originated in tbe House, passed tbe House Commi tee aod by a big vote won in tbe House. It was argued yesterday before the 8euate Committee by Mr. Laughingboose, of Pitt, in favor and oy representatives of the railroads and Representative Boney, ot Wilmington, opposiog, Tbe debate was animated, Mr. Laughing house being tbe only opponent against combined forces. Tbe vote to report nnfavorably was a unanimous one, eleven members of tbe committee being present, these being Messrs. Fonsbee, MoLean, Vann, Ma son, of Gaston, Mason ot Northampton, Borton. Arendell. Wrivbt, Loner of Iredell, and Taylor. The membets of the oommittee who appear to have been absent are Messrs. Sinclair and Scales Obs Xbeoommiiioe was nrst addressed by Mr. James H. Pju, in opposition to the bill. - Mr. Laoghinghouse spoke in favor of his bill, first paying a tribute to Hr. Pod's ability. He held tbat in ten years the railroads bad so grown tbat the grocs earnings then equal the net earnings now, the inorease being in mil ions. Tbe railroads, be declared. were fighting bis bill just as they had fought tbe formation ot tne rtailroad Commission, tbat now they were fight ing and crying out rum, ooohieation, poverty, which, if believed, he would chip in $5 to aid them. As to ability to oarry people, he said tbat years ago free pastes were homed to legtsia tors, and that ha had less respeot for tbe roads that did it. At to the At lantio Coast Line it oried poverty when taxes were songht from it, but with all its oty and watering ot stock it waF paying 25 per cent, on its watered stock, the bed rock stock having in creased 40 to 1. The lower rates, be believed, wonld be a bussing to tbe roads, as travel would increase and tbe roads receive more money. As to sel ling bonds It would not hurt as much as suggested The selling ot mileage books showed that no one believed that this was to get the little interest, not even the roads themselves. As to freight rates, Mr- Laughing- house said tbe customary rule ot rail roads is tbat jott a i soon at railroad taxes are inoreased, or freight reduced in price the sohednle is changed and freight put in a different sohednle, thus charging a higher rate. Mr. Laugh inghonse denominated at "miserable concerns" tbe railroads wbioh felt ao interest in tbe people as long as it could bleed them," in telling ot the rates in freight and ot the discrimination in rattt to various pjints where eompeti ' To Mothers In This Town.

This caused Mr, Langb ingbouse to query Mr. Miller again as to the salary of tbe President and Vice President of tbe Southern. Mr. Miller did not tell tbis and Mr, Laughing house said it was $100,000 and $50,000 respectively. Here Mr. Ryan thought the Seaboard was referred to and got into the debate, saying it was a far less amount. He said he did not feel that he should be asked to tell snob tbings.

Editoh : At the reqdeat of several ot my ooU leagues of tbe board of aldermen, ao oompanied by Mayor McMillan, I attended tbe meeting cf tbe Senate Committee on Propositions and Griev anseej and, iu as courteous and eom preheosive a way as I possibly could, presented tbe petition of tbe oity gov ersuea( oaen.J h?a petition of nearly allot oor leading business inei., Kibirs tbat tbe citizens of Fayetteville be. granted tbe same political rights and privileges enjoyed by tbe oitisens ot Wilmiogton, Raleigb, Greensboro, Charlotte and other towns of our class, in regulating and governing thjir own oorpoiate tffairs, as guaranteed by the Watts Law and re-smrmed by tbe Ward Law, and doubly guaranteed to the citizens living in incorporated towns and cities by the great Demo cratic convention held in Greensboro last June. Every member of either body of the Hoose, with whom I talked, assured me ot tbe justice of our request. Tbe bill, however, was opposed before tbe oommittee by Coonty Attorney Hall, presenting tbe resolution ot tbe county oommisiioners; by a letter from Clerk ol the Coort MeKethan, and by speeches from Senator 8ioolair and Messrs.

Editor Obsbrtib : A oommoniiatioD signed "Deposi tor," in your issue of 28:h alt., seems to demand ao answer, which woold have appeared sooner but for the ab sence from the oity of one of our corn mittee. Tbe names ot oor committee were nnblisbed the day of our appointment. None of us being uo&pptoachable, we gave all information tbat we thought necessary to allay tbe fears of alt de positors as to the safety ot their money in tbe suspended bat k Soon after the bank closed its doors tbe streets were fall of rumors calculated to alarm de positors, and oi.ase tbe more timorous to sell their deposits at a saorifioe When these rumors reached tbe ears ol the direotors tbey immediately appoin ted a committee of three business men, having no official connection with the bank, to examine tbe assets for the purpose ot allaying the fears of un ueoessanly frightened depositors. The undersigned oommittee aocepted tbe unpleasant task, and tbe assets of tbe baok were placed before os, in the presence of tbe bank examiner, who, together with the president and other direotors, assisted us most cordially. We were very properly told by the direotors that it woold be a cocfidential matter, so far as liabilities of tbe bank's customers were concerned; and, even bad ws not been told so, we should have so regarded it. Tbe bank exami ner, onr names baviog been published and we being accessible, advised us tbat no published statement, such as "Depositor" seems to bave exseoted, was neoessary. Fearing, however, tbat "Depositor's" communication, if un answered, might cause uneasiness on the part of other timid depositors, we simply reiterate hero what we bave stated to all wbo have approached us: "Tnat iu oor opinion there is no danger of the depositors losing a dollar of their money;" and we believe that the direc tors, since the ahortasre was discovered. in the closing ot the bank audin their other actions, did what tbey believed to be for the beet interest of the bank, ita eustomert and depositors.

BalalghPoat. Many good people in Nnth Carolina are today beiog deceived by a mas querade performance nnder the guise of temperance. We are well aware of the responsi bility we assume in making tbis state ment; but it is tbe truth, and by tbe truth we will stand or fall, knowing tbat truth crushed to earth will rise again tbe eternal years of God are her's. Ringing words and fbry fights of eloquence portraying tbe evils of the liquor trafflo and proolaiming the Ward bill as a measure of salvation to poor rdm-eoaked humanity bave caught tbe attention and enlisted tbe support ot many of onr best people who bave not stopped to analyze its provisions. Tbe Ward bill simply prohibits tbe manufacture of liquor in towns tbat bave less than one thousand inhabi tants. Tbat, in a nutshell, is tbe snm total of this improperly named "tem peranoe measure." Ic does not prohibit tbe tale ot the ftary fluid anywhere. As Mr. Frank 8 Spruill well sayt In au article printed on tbis page, it is the consumption of whisky tbat blights lives and destroys homes. J. he Ward bill oootains no restriction against the oonsumption of whisky. xet some of its advocates bave claimed to tbe publio tbat it prohibits the sale as well as the manufacture ot quor. An examination of the bill will show you that yon have been erroneously iofotmed And by supporting it you are perpetrating an aot of clear die crimination against home folk and in tavor of tbe whisky trust of Kentucky acd other S.ates, without any attempt to reduoe aod restrict th sale and consumption in tbis State. Tb" eae and consumption, so far as tbe Ward bill is concerned, will go right oo in North Carolina. Is this temperanoe legislation T I it not rather tbe mask of temper ance behind which is the greed of the wnisxy trustT We do not plead for any man who was exempted from the provisions of the Watts bill two years ago. Oar position io regard to tbat doable deal and outrageous deception is well known. There is an honorable, direct way to oorreot blondere and mistakes. as repeatedly pointed oot in these col umne. Bet tbe reeord straight. Relieve tbe Watts law of the burden and odium of disorimioation by repealing those special privilege oharters; aod let the manufacturers there take their chances nuaer tbe Watts bill.

B. E. Bedberrj's Boos. A Hulllisg Btory Wall Told. The following dramatic and striking story was told by the Ashsvllle cor respondent of the State press yester day, describing how a man saved a railroad train from probably a disas trous wreck; "At is well-known, there are manv points on the Southern Railway west of Ashevllle where the railway has forced a passage tor itsell between tbe French Broad river and the overhansr- lngcllfis. Opposite one such point, about five miles this side of Marshall, a man stood about 3:30 o'clock yester day afternoon, looking from his home across the river toward the precipice, scarred by the railroad's pick and dy namite, which towered above tbe steel rails. The man's glance, wandering from his vantage point across the riv er, was arrested at a spot on the clIS side. He was thinking that the west bound train would pass In a few min utes, and he thought he would watch. As the man looked, a huge rock was suddenly loosened by unseen forces from the side ot the cllfi, and went crashing downward, coming to rest upon the railroad track. Tbe horror of the situation burst upon the watch er, He was quite a distance away, the river intervened, the train was due. and a curve precluded the possibility of the engineer seeing the great stone until bis engine was upon It. "The man ran quickly to the river. ound a small boat some distance fiom the place, found a shovel, which he used as an oar, and rowed across as fast as he could ply it. Half a min ute or so in advance of the train, he reached the end of the curve around which the obstruction was concealed. As the train came in sight he waved his arms frantically. The engineer seems to have grasped tbe situation In all its gravity, for he reversed his en gine, applied the emergency brake, and jumped. One other man, the pos tal clerk, who saw the engineer leap from his cab, also jumped. The train went on, gradually losing speed, but before It came to a dead stop the cow. catcher was smashed, steam co:ks were torn off and In some way the whistle was broken. The engineer sprained his ankle, and tbe postal clerk had one side of his face skinned," An Important oviment, The following has been Issued with in the past two or three days from the Department of Agriculture at Wash ington city: "The old system ot boxing Southern pine trees for the production cf turpen tine snd rosin has very greatly reduc ed tbe pine timber wealth of the South ern States. Three years ago the Bu reau of Forestry determined that some thing should be done to eliminate so destructive a method of procurlog nav al stores. "Its three years of experiments to ward this end have demonstrated that a new system of turpentining, which requires the use of earthen cups and metal gutters, not only greatly con serves the life of the timber tapped, but also gives an increased yield ot resin, and therefore a greater profit than Is possible by boxing. The Bureau of Forestry feels tbat a still more conservative method of tur pentining can be found, which, con sistent with a maximum yield of tur pentine, will Inflict the smallest possi ble Injury upon the trees. With this in view, the bureau has begun an en tirely new line of field experiments, In order to determine to what extent tbe wound now made In tapping the trees can be lessened. "Through the co operation of the HUlman-Sutherland Land Company. of Jacksonville, Fla., a stand of about 40,000 pine trees In Clay county, Flor ida, wltn other facilities, bave, with out cost to the government, been placed at the disposal of tbe bureau for experimental purposes " This Is a very Important departure in the work of the Bureau of Forestry, and the outcome will be awaited with the keenest interest by the great naval store centres of the South. Should the experiments accomplish all that Is expected of them, they will still be too late to inure to the benefit of tbe oper ators in the turpentine section oi North Carolina, for tbe ploe forests are gone. But, should the no fence law come to prevail all over the naval store terri tory of the Cape Fear and Pet Dee sec tions, future generations may profit by the work of the Bureau of Forestry. Coatrait in Criminal life. There are now bat two prisoners in tbe Cumberland oounty jail both negroes, Henry Parker, wbo has been serving part of a term 00 the publie roads, asd Walter Partridge, condemn ed to death in about a month for the most terrible of crimes. Jailor Pate finds tbat tbey present a strange contrast. For Parker, it looks as it all of life's savor is gone, though no heavy penalty is awaiting him, tor he has had several hemorrhages, and County Physician A. S Rose has it in mind to ap peal to Gov, Glenn for mercy in bis case. Partridge, with the fatal noose dangling above his head, is absolutely oallous. A minister of one of tbe eity obnrohes, who went to see him to put him, if possible, in frame ot mind for his end, was met with indifference, al most laughter. If bis nerve holds, he will go his death, "foil of bread," reck ing not of bis doom. A Dinner Invitation.
