MONDAY, JANUARY 4.
MR. MCMILLINMAY I'KKIIOK.
It Is not probable that Mr. Crisp
will be able to open the House to
morrow. The House will have to
elect a Speaker pro tern, and it is
likely that Mr. McMillin will he
chosen to preside until the Speaker
recovers. It is expected that there
will be little or no business trans
acted. They may adopt the resolu
tion, previously delayed by objection
providing for the appointment of
committee clerks. This will proba
bly be the only business done, and an
adjournment will be taken for thrci
days, unless the Chilean correspond
ence should not b received and there
should b nme reason for being in
session on Wednesday to receive it.
The committees ni l probably organ
Its and get ready for work.
Those in authority a to such mat
ters in Conerea have he n given to
understand that the i'resklent ha?
prepare ni ssnge to both house?
of CongresM ou the Chili an affair,
transmuting the entire correspon
dence between this count iv and
Chill There has been cnUlerabli
speculation a to the probability of
the President's sending in such a
message, but it seems now to be set
tled beyond question that tie ill do
o. This does not necessarily mem
war, but it points that way. If tin
firm standjtaken ' by thin country
makes such an Impression as to pro
dace an apology from Chili, thp n:ut
tot jIJl,.of otirte, be then settled
without a resort to arms. The belief
that there be a peaceable settlement
of the difficulty is based mainly upon
. aonvlcttou that tho Chilian govern
ment will not, when ii comes to the
pinch, be willing. to risk war with a
nation "o much her superior ia force
as Isftke United States. The course
of the United Htates, however, will
be such, it Is said, as to mako an apol
ogy necessary on the part of Chili to
avoid hostilities.
Gov. Humphrey said to-day of his
appoiDtmeut of Mr. PerkinB as Sena
tor: "Having in view the long ser
vice of Judge Perkins on tho bench
and in the lower House of Congress,
where he was by common consent
ontofthe acknowledged leaders of
theKaosasdeleifatioii.it seemed to
me thathisappointruent would prove
satisfactory to the people of the
6late. It might be said that my
motive in appointing Judge Perkins
was selfish in this, that It would re
move bim as a possible candidate for
Congress In the Third district In the
Interest of myself for the office. On
this account I heBitated somewhat in
' the matter, but the fact is that Judge
- Perkins was not in my way for Con
gress,' having pnbllcly Jdeclared as
well as privately to me and to other
, friends that he would not be in that
- race. ProWhis honorable career on
- the bench and in Congress I have
', the utmost confidence in his ability,
and am confident that he will serve
, - the State with great dignity and
honor to the United State Rejiate."

year a confident reliance on the val
or, skill, patriotism and experience
of the younger of these survivors of
the 1 t w.ir would uot have been or
would not be In vain. Senator Dan
iel's repeal the statue prohibiting
such services Is timely and should
not l overlooked In the work of l he
session. Tho penalties of the war
period have had suoh effect aa was
desired for twenty-six years. Neith-

these penalties, which, In view of the
removal of the other war disabilities,
ham tmcome illogical and inconsis

Fifty-two for Sherman.
Comtmbus, Ohio, Jan. 1. Presi
dent Alva Agee, of the'Farmers' AT-
llance and Industrial Union, arrived
here tonlirht and beRan the fight
against the re-election of Hon. John
Sherman to the Henate. His efforts
are without results so far as can be
seen. The (state committee or the
Alliance will meet here on Monday
to take a hand in the fight.
The situation today has been mark
ed by the vicious attacks of (iov
Koraker ana his lieutenants upon tne
Cuyahoga delegation. Tbe governor
made a speech to the gentlemen, in
which he rererrea in sarcastic terms
to the efforts being made by the army
of Federal office-holders In behalf of
Hherman. A desperate etrort was
made to tret Hen ator Oreeh, colored
and Representatives Doty and Pink
ney to sign a paper pledging their
votes for Koraker, but was unsuccess
ful.
Representative Axline, of Perry
who has been classed in the doubtful
list, with a probable leaning toward
Foraker, has declared for Sherman.
Representative Allen, of Greene, has
reached the city, an I confirms the
report that he will vote far Gov. For
aker. Thus the day's declarations
show no relative change in the sit
uation, the eight or nine doubtful
men still holding the key to the sit
uation.
The estimates given out by the
Sherman managers tonight give him
fifty-two votes, or seven more than
sufficient to elect, and accord Fora
ker but thirty-nine The ex-govern
or said tonight he ivould be elected
as sure aa the cauoas met unless
"unque influence" was exerted upon

A Important Dcalalna fit ran by th ta
I oral ate Oumutore Oeromlaalitn.
The interstate oommerce commls-
slnu has -endcred an opinion lu the
case of the Huston and Maine rail
road, involving the question of the
right of the company to Issue passes
lo certain classes of persons specllled
111 the answer niea by the company,
as follows: Hick, Indigent andolher
charitable cases, men long eminent
In public service, proprietors of sum
mer hotels and large boarding
houses, wives of employe) and other
immediate members of their famil
ies, agents of ice companies and milk
contractors," the higher officers of
Htate in the Htat.es of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachu
setts and certain prominent officers
of the United States, like collector
of customs, members of the railroad
committees of the legislatures of the
Htates above named, trustees under
mortgage on the property of the cor
poration, persons whose good will is
important to-the corporation.
The commission has In this case
construed the act to regulate com
merce in respect to tno right or a
railroad company to give Interstate
passes to suoh chisses of persons.
The commission met the question
squarely, and In a convincing opin
ion discussed the statue and cited
authorities at sc me lonirth, and con
cluded that branch of tho case in
theso words:
"Without further citation authori
ty the construction wo Rive to section
2 of the act to regulate commerce Is
that where the service of the carrier
subject to theact is 'like and con tern
portneous ror iiiiierent passengers
the charge to one of a greater ur less
compensation than to another con
stitutes unjust discrimination and if)
unlawful unless the charge of such
greater or less compensation is allow
ed under the exceptions provided iu
section 22, and that where tho traffic
is'under subtautiaMy similar circum
stances and conditions' in other re
spects it is not rendered dissimilar
within the meaning of the statute by
the fact that such passniiKers hold
unlike or, as sametimes termed, un-
niual official, social or business po
sitlnns, or belong to different classes
as they ordinarily exists in a com
munity or are arbitrarily created bv
I the carrier."
There were other classes of pass
holders named in the answer, whose
passes, though in form free, were free
only in name,because in reality there
was some consideration for them,
such as those Issued to newspaper
men in exchange for advertising, to
hotel proprietors, ice dealers anil
milk dealers, and to some other per
sons who are claimed to stand on spe
cial ground of right.
As to these classes of persons tbe
commission said tuat the investiga
tion would have to bo extended to
enable it to pass a satisfactory judg
ment thereon, and that to avoid the
delay which a proper and full inves
tigation of these classes would occa
sion, and in view of their minor im
portance and yet perhaps greater
dinlcsulty of decision, and of the ur
gency that the defaiuisjnt should be
informed at this time fif the decl-ion
upon the leading (ti(Htioii involved
namely, the construction of the stat-
'ie upon the subject of free transpor
tation, the commission concluded to
hold the case as to such special clas
ses of persons for stuili further inves
tigation as might be neccessary to
put It in full posHession of all tho
facts before finally passing upon
them, and in the meantime to issue
an order applicable to the classes
fi rst named in accordance with tbe
construction of the law as set fort
this being pursuant to the practice
in other cases.
(!nv, IIolts Kmaiiclpatton Day Hpeech.
Raleigh News and Observer: Dur
ing the administration of Governor
Holt, he has been called upon to de
liver addresses in diirerent Hoctions
of tho Htate, and whenever he has
spoken, his political friends and
foes alike have recognized the emi
nent practical ability and sound
judgment whirh have enabled him
to discharge his official duties with
so much success and credit. His
speech in this city on Emancipation
day, is no exception. It should be
carefully explained to the colored
people of the Htate iu order that
there may no longer be any doubt
of the intention of the whites to' gov
ern North Carolina, but at the same
time their purpose to see that equal
and just laws are made, construed
and executed without regard to color
or condition. 1 lie Uovernor's
speech is based on broad lines, and is
free from partizanehip. It is the
speech of a man who always speaks
out noiaiy wnat no tiuiiKs or public
questions, and entertains no views,
necessary for him to express, which
he hesitates to make known to his
fellow-citizens. Wte have heard
Governor Holt's speech, delivered in
Metropolitan Hall on the 1st, very
highly commended by botli white
and black. The addresses by the
colored speakers on the occasion
were conservative. D. W Parker's
speech was considered by a fewl of
his colored friends as rather political.
but as the advancement of the color
ed poople greatly depends upon their
political course this speech in many
respects very appropriate, and. if the
advice given he followed, likely to be
attended with good results. The
speaker told the members of his race
present that they must devote their
energy and ability more to industrial
fiursuits, if they wished to be success
ul, and this is good counsel. Tno
much politics has been' the bane of
the colored people, and want of at
tention to other pursuits has kept
many from prospering. Parker un
derstands that alt the advantage In
contest . Detween the white and
black races for supremacy would be
on the side of tbe former, and he is
wise tn leu his colored friends the
whole troth. .
