He spoke on his bill and said that whenever any effort was made along the line of securing pure food, the news of that movement Hew over the country with lightning- like rapidv, and the adulterated food makers were at once on hand to pre vent the success of that movement. His bill had not been introduced three davs before the great concern of Fair banks Co., of St. Louis, had its rep resentatives here. They had been to him and said the passage of his bill would ruin a part of their business.

There are no farmers here, tliun dered Senator Moody, "lobbving for their interests. Thev (the farmers) do not attempt to sell anything under a false name. They take the products of their dairies if their pastures and sell to the consumer the pure article. Ihey meet grievous and ruinous competition in adulterated products, and that com petition is what we want to break down. I do not wish to prevent the sale of adulterated products: but when they are sold. I want the people to know w hat is being sold and what they are buying. As long as we surrender our markets to these fraudulent products. our own honest farmers must be at disadvantage."

The bill to establish, out of a part of Richmond county, a new county to be called Scotland, now came up for dis cussion. This bill had drawn to the city a large number of the prominent citizens of Rockingham, Laurinburg and Maxton. These were eagerly wait ing to hear the fate of the bill. For a long time, the people of this section, who are chiefly Scotch, have been try ing to get a county of their own named after their fatherland, but here tofore their efforts have been defeated. The rivalry betwen Maxton and Lau rinburg for the county seat has also been in their way. Laurinburg wants the new court house and so does Max ton. Leading men from Maxton have been working against the bill in its present shape and the Rockingham people oppose the new county in any shape. So there was much interest aroused, when the question came up for action before the House. The measure was discussed by Messrs. Williams of Craven, French of Xew Hanover, White of Rladen, Phillips of Pitt, and Young of Wake, in favor of the bill; and by Messrs. Payne of Robeson, Y'ates of Rich mond, Rurnham of Buncombe, Line back of Forsythe, McKenzie of Row an, Hunter of Madison, Smith of Gates and Ray of Macon, against it. Mr. Henderson moved to amend by submitting the matter to all the voters of Richmond county Mr. Ray moved to amend bv making the new county responsible for their proportionate part of all the indeoted- ness of Richmond county. The amend ment was accepted by Messrs. White and French. Mr. Rurnham asked which was the easiest way to get to Rockingham from Laurenburg or from upper Rich mond county? Mr. Yates explained that owing to Little river it was more inconvenient for people in upper Richmond than from Laurenburg to get to Rocking ham. Mr. French moved to amend the amendment of Mr. Henderson so aft to ubmit this question to the qualified voters within the bounds of the new county, He believed in local self-gov eminent and thought if the people in the territory of the new county wanted it, they ought to have it. Mr. Hunter, of Madison, spoke at some length. The new county would come into existence saddled w ith $9,000 mueoteuness, ana then there would be a new court houeto build new courts, new gTand-juries and new petit-juries to be provided for, causing additional indebtedness. Legal gentlemen tell me they would have ample time to clear their dockets at the regular terms, but it is not done because of delay and continuances made by the legal fra ternityand the court officers. Mr. Hun ter opposed the bill Mr. Smith, of Gates, followed in the ame deliberate manner that character ized the speech of Mr. Hunter. He dis cussed the proposition of permitting any locality to set up a separate county for themselves. Botn ot these gentle men talked very dehoerately and earn estly. Mr. Peebles : "I would like to ask the gentleman if, like other prophets, he is without honor in his own coun try?" Mr. Young thought the opposition to the bill came from people of Richmond county because they wanted to dodge the county debt. .Now, the people of this new county propose to tax them selves to pay this debt. 1 his new coun ty has a larger territory than any one of 2s counties already formed, and larger voting population than any one of 21 counties. Mr. Young began to read. Mr. Ray asked him how many people there were fn the county of Wake, and why he did not lorm several new coun ties out of Wake. Mr. Young replied that they would when their own people asked for it and proposed to share all the indebtedness and obligations of the county, as these people have done. At the end of Mr. Young's speech Mr. White called for the previous ques tion. 1 he call was sustained. The first question came up on the amendment of 'Mr. Ilenderun amended by Mr. French. Mr. Pmynr railed for the ajr and no. 3Jr. French' amrnnent tar ried, aye 4. noe 43. The next ote was on tbe paage of the amendment as amended. The vote Umm1 55 aye to 33 noe.

The bill provides that the auction fees shall be fifteen cents per pile for each pile of one nun- dred pounds or less, and twenty-five cents for each pile in excess of one hun dred pounds. Another provision is that the gross commission on sales shall be 2 per cent. The bill is to go into effect in October laSto. Considerable discussion was indulged in on the measure. Senators Sigmon, Forbes and Abell were for a re-refer ence of the bill to the committee for further consideration. Senator Bellamy,who introduced the bill, said he was from a tobacco-grow ing district containing sixty thousand population a district which took the prize for tobacco at the World's Fair over all competition. He had met the parties who had been here, and they had all expressed themselves as satis fied with the provisions of the bill. He read a number of letters from parties favoring the bill, which were of a char acter similar to this : Nashville, N. C, Jan. 26. Hon. J. C. Bellamy : 'I hear so much about your tobacco bill that I want to say to you again. press your bill. You hav a man up there, Mr. , who is doing all he can against it, and is calling on some men here to get a few good I'opu lists to go there and prevent the bill from passing. A few warehousemen and their bosses are doing all they can to send up some of our friends to wors against the bill. Mr. belongs to their ring, and is sent up as the tool that he hai always been. You know that what the ring opposes is to our in terest as farmers, and we ask you to take care of our interests. If those who oppose our interests want to leave the state, let them go." These letters were presented by Senator Bellamy as a part of his re- tti ,rtfi marks. The bill then passed its second read ing, and, under a suspension of the rules. Dassed its third reading by a vote of 35 to 5. The senate adjourned till this morn ing at 11 o'clock. HOUSE. The House was called to order at 10 a. m-, arid was opened with prayer by Rev.

In-fore daylight this morning at a point mi:ur thirty miles from the Hook of Holland. The tirst intimation of the disaster came from Lowestoft, Mi t! oik. one of the chief Knglish fishing port. Late this afternoon a despatch was received from that plai-e say ing that it was re. ported there that a trans-Atlantic line steamer had been SI NK IN HIK NORTH KA, ami that the lss of life was very irreat. The first dispatches stated that there had Ih'cii three hundred and fifty jht soiis on the Kllie, and that only nine teen had )een saved, the rescued hav ing been landed at Lowestoft by tish iug smacks. Later despatches to the Kxchange Telegraph company and to Lloyds continued the report of the loss of the steamer, and still later it was learned that the ('rat hie, the steamer that sunk the Kibe, had put into Ma.i Luis, Holland, in a damaged condi tion. She reported that she had lieen in collision with AN I N K Now N Hi KAN STKAMKK. Tow ards evening, over two hours and a half after tbe news bad readied the Loudon ollices of the Associated Press and had lceu cabled tit America, the agents in this city of t he North Ger man Lloyd Steamship Company re ceived the following cable message: "Most deplorable news from Lowes toft. It states Kllie sunk through col lision; six this morning. Koat No. 3. with third otlicer Stallburgh, Purser Weser, Kngineer Neiissell and nine teen persons landed at Lowestoft. No further news so far." It was at lirst hoped that the reports of the disaster had been exaggerated and that most, if not all, the passeng ers and crew had escaped, either by means of the ship's lMats,4r by being picked up by passing vessels. But, as time wore on, it was ap parent that the first re ports of the sinking of the steamer HAD MI.MMI7.KI TIIK HoKRoKS of the disaster. Many dispatches were forwarded to Maas Luis, to- the com mander of'the steamer Crathie, asking him if he had rescued any of t lie Ki be's passengers. I'p to a late hour, However, no answers were received to these dispatches, and the belief grew that the Crathie, after the accident had rather sought her own safety than to rescue the people on the doomed Ki be. From the details now at hand, it is learned that the K11m was proceed ing along at her ueiial rate of speed and keeping the ordinary look-outs. TIIK N Hi UT WAS DARK but there was no gale. Suddenly the forward look-out on the Kllte reported to the ollicer on deck that the lights of a steamer were close aboard over the port bow. Before the course of the hi Ik? could be changed, so as to sheer her otf from the approaching steamer, the latter struck her just abaft the en gine room, going through tier plates as though they were paste board, and sticking her nose almost COMPLETELY TIIRorr.ll THE Ht l.l. of the Kibe. For a time the Crathie held the Kibe on her uose, but then her engines were reversed and she backed out of the aperture she bad made. As she did so, the water rushed into the Lib; in a torrent and she began mime diately to settle. The officer in charge of the ship at once saw that she was doomed, and gave hurried orders to CLEAR AWAY TIIK LIFE BOATS for launching. Three of the boats were cleared, swung outward on the davits and lowered: but one of them. I shortly after it got clear of t he steamer, capsized and it is thought that all of its occupants were drowned. I he first boat contained the third omcer, chief engineer, purser and about twenty of the passengers. I hese are the passen gers who were picked up by a fishing smack and taken to lAiwestoft Mr. Karl lIortmanii,of ('rand Islrnd, Xeb., is among the survivors. He is in a condition of terrible distress from the LOSS OF HIS WIFE IMi POX. He pathetically exhibited, tothe repre sentative of the Associated Press, a gold watch that his wife had slipped into his hand as she parted with him to go to the starboard side of the steamer when the order to that effect was given. He said: A SL'VIVORS STORY. "We left Bremerhaven on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Our cabin was one of the second class and was within six feet of the spot which received the full force of the shock. My wife, child and I were asleep, when I was awak ened at 5:30 o'clock by what seemed to be the ringing of the gong that is used to call the passengers to meal9. Find- ing that it was dark, I jumped out of my birth, but heard nothing to warn me. I went back to my birth again and immediately heard the RCSHIXG OF FEET AND SHOUTING.

City of Mkikh, Jan. A tele gram was received here todav, from (Guatemala, verifying the rumor that the Associated Pr,es has had for the last ten days. Dial a confederation of the Central American republic had been formed. Central America will stand united to repel any invasion from Mexico. TheCota Ki. ari minis ter arrived soon after the meeting, to gether with President I'arrhe. of liua teiuala. and is of the same mind as the other Central American republics. The war cloud hangs heavy over Me tic to day. It is feared from the outlook that Mexico has no recourse left hut to de clare war against the federation of Central America. President Iiaz is for peace, hut still stand boldly for Mexico's right's. The President and cabinet are still in ses-1 ion. I At the Mexican Jocky club, of which the President father-in-law is presi dent, upon t)e subject of war with (Guatemala being broached, a subscrip tion was st arte! toward the inaugura tion of the war fund, and in less than five minutes over $.. was subribed. V collecting committee was then ap pointed with Mayor Camacuo a presi dent, and Pablo Martinez del I'ioas secretary. It is rumored that hundreds of thousands wil) tie fort Ix-om ing from this source at short not ice.Itot h ide are massing troops on Die frontier, and non-combatants are leaving hit sec tion by all manner of conveyances. The citizens of the I'nited Mate of Mexico seem unanimous with Presi dent Diaz and hit policy, and wili spare no means or expense in the way of arming and equipping soldier. I he rumor a lew davs ago that two Americans, Thomas Murphy and Col. ,. K. Dun, were killed while en route to the Guatemalan railroad wit ha drove of one hundred mule, w hich were to be used in connection with the con struction of that road, has been con firmed. The mules were stolen; it is not known by whom. DIONT DO IT. It ! Denied TTaa4 t'atto Sam Haa XeddJed With tbe Mealeo-GoateMiala Affair. Washixotox, Jan. 31. It is learned that the official denial of the Mexican government that the L". .S. ha inter vened in the dispute between Mexico and Guatemala, is technically correct. Tbe part played by the United States, has been, as stated in these dispatches, limited strictly to friendly advice to both parties. In diplomacy, this is something entirely distinct trots in tervention or arbitration. The fact that Secretary Gresham.in bis dUpatch to tbe Mexican government, urged io behalf of President Cleveland that the two coun taies settle their dispute) be tween themselves if possible, is evi dent that tbe United States has not undertaken to become between tbem and pass on tbe merits of their respec tive claims.
