Washington Pout.
The Imllot law which it is pro
j! to piHi in Maryland is very
likely to bring to the attention of
Congress various so-;alll disfran
chisement laws, anI open up the
whole question of representation In
Congresri'on tho basis of men who
are not lejal voters understate laws.'
Thin Mtateme nt was made yesterday
by Senator Burrows, who will be
come tho chairman of the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Klec
tlons. "Congress does not desire," con
tinued Senator Burrows, 'to discuss
these suhjoets, hut in my opinion,
the questions will he forceil upon us
for determination by the unwise
action of some of the Siates. Sec
tional syniHlhies and prejudices
must be ltld aside to get a clear ua
derstaudiug of the imjMjrtanco of the
subject. It is a fact that there has
been some indulgence and toleration
In the past of the efforts of certain
States to avoid negro domination,
l'erhajw pymithy had more to do
with permitting the South to main
tain a representation in Congress,
which in many casts was on the
basis of disfranchised citizens, than
Justice or fairness. All this may be
laid aside to consider the more ser
ious phases of the situation.
"We now have before us the ex
ample of a great State endeavoring
to disfranchise some 50,000 citizens
in order to give one political party
tho control of tho legislature of the
State. There is no fear of negro
domination. That is not tho excuse
for the law. Certain Democrats
seek to control the affairs of the
State, and to accomplish this propose
to disfranchise a sufficient number
of the opposite party,
more than this.
It is nothing
WHAT KKI'UIILICANS might do.
"It is just exactly the same as
though the Republicans in Illinois
should pass a law giving a high-class
education test for voters in order to
disfranchise tho illiterate laborers of
Chicago. It may be assumed that
more of these are
Democrats than
Republicans, and that, therefore,
such a law would bo to the political
advantago of the Republicans. The
Pennsylvania legislature might pass
such a law affecting the illiterate
coal miners. Massachusetts already
has such a law, but I do not know
how man v it affects or what nolitical
mrtv trains an advantage, if any.
"The Constitution declares that
when tho riirht to vote is denied any
male inhabitants over twenty-one
years of age in any State the basis of
representation shall be reduced In
proportion to which the reduction
ahall Inar to the whole number.
This question has been passed over
once, but It will not be neglected if
iH)lltlcal iarties deprive citizens of
their votes solelv for the purpose of
er conshleratlons. In the State of
Mississippi the test for illiteracy in-
volves the ability to iuterpret as
I
well as read the Constitution. I do
not understand that tho census will
disclose tho number who are denied
the right to vote because they can-
not construe paragraphs of the Con-
stitution. But the census will show
how many males over the age of 21
cannot read or write. If such per
sons cannot vote, the census will
siiow absolutely the reduction. Con-
gress not only has the power, but it
is uemanueu oi congress inai re-

tisan success at the polls, regardless
of negro domination. It requires
no strong prophetic vision to see that
strong pirty organizations in other
States will devise plans to strength

large number of their opponents if
they know that no one will punish
them.
'At present the question is pre

effect disfranchisement has on the

House, the propriety of accepting
Senators in Congress who have been
elected by the legislatures selected
after a large number of voters weie

Lincoln, Neb., March 30. The
closing hours of the Nebraska (legis
lature today were made lively by a
fierce debate over General Kunston.
The matter was presented by reso
lution, and the Populist members
took occasion to fiercely attack him,
one member referring to him as
having degenerated from a courage
ous fighter In the oien to a "mere
spy and sneak."
By a strict party vote the follow
ing was adopted:
"Whereas, we have heard with
satisfaction of the gallant conduct of
Brigadier General Funston in plan
ning and carrying out an expedition
fraught with great privation and
danger, resulting in the capture of
Agulnaldo, the notorious leader of
the insurrection against the authority
of the United States in the Philip

the swhole nation over this achieve

This catalogue shows for this session
the large total attendance of 524
students. Of this number 391 are
enrolled in the Academic Depart

MARBIACE LAW IN CANADA.
Jed re ArralbaM HoUia I a at it U ClvU
Coatract.
Montreal, March 31. Judge
Archibald to-day dismissed the ac
tion of a former secretary of the
lieutenant governor of the province
of Quebec, named Del pit, who asked
to have his marriage annulled after
having lived seven years with his
wife and after she had borne him
children. The ground upoc which
he based his action was that though
Catholics, they were married by a
Protestant clergyman, therefore
there really existed no marriage.
The case was taken op by the
ecclesiastical court of the Roman
Catholic church, which upheld his
view of the case, but Judge Archi
bald dismissed the case on the
ground that marriage is a civil con
tract and that religious differences
cannot affect it.
This judgment establishes an Im
portant precedent, and is the first
serious instance of the civil law in
the province of Quebec, which is
molded on the old French law,
differing with the ecclesiastical laws.

TEE TRACK OF THE CYCLONE.

peal for aid.
8ial to the Charlotte Observer.
Durham, March Si. -The cyclone
that visited a section of Granville
county, last Monday night, left
a long path of destruction, deso
lation and suffering in its wake.
The first reports of the storm did
not tell half of the havoc and ruin
wrought by the winds.
The nearest point of the cyclone
district Is seventeen miles from
Durham and about an equal distance
from Oxford. Owing to the isola
tion of the section full particulars of
the damage done have been hard to
get, and it is the reports of yester
day and to-day that show he full
damage.
The cyclone started at or near
Fish Dam and from there to Wilton,
a distance of 16 miles, the ruin was
complete. Tne path of the cyclone
was about 150 yards wide and every
thing that was not stout enough to
resist the winds was destroyed. The
tornado went in an air line, scatter
ing t-ettlements, tearing farm houses
into kindling wood, cutting a wide
swath through timber lands, killing
and wounding tho who were un
fortunate enough to be in its path.
In all it is said that five persons
were killed, two near Creed moor
and three near Fish Dam, where the
cyclone started. All of those killed
were colored with one exception,
Paul Cannady, whose death was re
ported in the Observer at the time.
In addition to those killed many
were seriously wounded, some of
whom will be maimed for life. One
of those injured was a young man
by the name of Rogers, who was
thrown against a tree and his skull
cracked. Another is Miss Mary
Turner, leg broken. A score or
more of people were badly bruised
and skinned by the flying debris
and are yet unable to take care of
themselves.
At Wilton the cylone struck the
store of Walton Harris and it was
swept away, the merchandise going
before the winds like so much chaff.
He had a large stock of goods and
since the cyclone has not found more
than $100 worth. In addition to
this loss his dwelling and mill, in
fact everything he had were swept
away. In the store was a large iron
safe, weighing four thousand pounds
and this was carried more than one
hundred yards by the force of the
wind.
J fcanaerlord and Mr. D. P. Wag-
slaff have issued an appeal to the
ptople of this section for aid. They
have personally looked into the con-
dition ot the people along the whole
line of the stricken district, and say
4.1 A. a. i :n 1 a, A3t
were between thirty and torty fam
ilies who lost practically all they
had homes, stock, provisions, farm
ing utensils, etc. and of the entire
list there is but one man who is able
to rebuild his home. Among the
others there may be a few who can
raise money enough to build a home
by mortgaging their farm. But a
reat majority of the sufferers were
renters, and these have no place to
la" their head and nothing to eat,
except as the neighbors extend char
to them
so one can form an idea of the
extent ot the ruin only by visiting
ine section ana see ior themselves,
now houses were torn into kindling
wood and great trees snapped into
and carried hundreds of yaids.

Some hours elapsed before the
news ot Aguinaido's capture was
generally known. The fact that he
was a prisoner caused joy and con

The nativepopulation was apathetic.
There was no particular excitement
anywhere.
