The morn J ing of the second day of the enatorial fight to the Maryland, legislature found the situation practically unchanged as far as surface indication go. No material change from yesterday was anticipated, but the belief is very strong that a crisis 1s approaching. During the early morning hours a well defined rumor became prevalent to the effect that the national leaders of the republican party meant to take hold of the fight in Maryland and apply the par ty lash in the -interest of Judge JIc Comas. One of the effects of this rumor ha.s been to seriously check several very promising booms. Another story is that a large delegation from the western por tion of the state in which Judge Mc- " Comas resides are on their way here and that methods similar to those which re sulted in the election of 'Senator Wel lington two years ago are .to be employed in the intearest of the administration candidate. Upon the other hand the elevens members of the house of dele Kate who arc? unalterably opposed to McComas insist that under no circum stances can they be brought into line. "Without them, no republican can be Q .elected. With their votes and those of 2?' their democratic allies an election in joint convention can be had or indefinite ly postponed. Today's ballot resulted as follows: Mc Comas CO, Shaw 11, Shryock 2, Millikin 2, . , Uarber 6, Urner 1, Gorman 46, Findlay 2, J-"arran b, Jxwndes 1; total 113. necessary to choice 57 A caucus of the republican maioritv will almost certainly be held tomorrow mignt, ;inct an attempt will be made to force the reealcitrantui into line. Thirty' one signatures have been appended to the call amd it is asserted that six more will be added before midnight. Thirty four are necessary to secure a majori ty of the republican1 members and sena tors of the general assembly. Indications of an Attempt at coalition between the 'faithful eleven" nd the democratic members 'for the purpose of electing a Baltimore man are growing stronger every hour. Tonight it is free ly asserted that the only thing that stands in the way of it is the inability of il?fi-dfI!S,(cl!at,c.IederL,to eef &orrie oE mrii luuuwns .u iw me marK, ana me possibility that some of the eleven may refuse to go Into the scheme. DEATH SENTENCE COMMUTED The Governor Commutes to Life Impris onment the Sentence of Den Field Con victed of Murder by Poisoning (Special to The "Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, January 19. The gov enor commutes to life imprisonment the death sentence of Ben Field, color ed, who was convicted of murder in the first degree last November in the crim inal court of Edgecombe county and sentenced to be hanged yesterday. His victim FVed Keel. harkPr. Virtx swore tbat Alford, a. white man, gave him a capsule to give Keel, telling him it was harmless. The governor makes the following endorsement: "This coon mutation is granted at the request of Judge Sutton, who tried the case and Solicitor Daniel who prose cuted, arid upon the petition of the clerk of the court, sheriff, treasurer and other officers of lEdgecombe, Coun- ty Commissioner Leigh and ex-Chairman Williams of the board of commis sioners; of 'Drs. Baker, Bass, Norflet, "Whitehead, Wynn and Julian Baker, of .most of hank officers of Tarboro, of the "--foreman of the grand Jury, of the chief of pel ice of Tarboro, of General John W. Gotten, of Chairman Gatlin, of the county comisionsers; of John L. Bridg ers, of ex-Judges Howard and Philips and other lalwyers of the Tarboro har and of several hundred other best cit izens of Edgecombe. It appears 'by the certificate of the solicitor that the prisoner i3 very ignorant, stolid and ' stupid, completly under the sinister in fluence of his co-defendant, Alford, who iwnas unjustly acquitted; that he was a tool in the hands of Alford and that 'he carried out the design that was con ceived by Alford. It was also contend ed by counsel for the prisoner that in giving the capsule to Keel the prisoner did so without the guilty knowledge of 113 conten ts ana mere ttaia I erable doubt on this point.

With every show of (authority, the Pall 31 all Ga zette this afternoon print's prominently an article purporting to give the in wardness of the Dreyfus case, an'd ex plains that (the document, in addition t to the "bordeaux" on. Which the gov- eminent 'found the prisoner guilty, was obtained in the following manner from the German military attache Von Funckle: "Nine 'o.r t'en months before the ar rest of Dreyfus, Von Funckle Was sud denly removed from his post. The ex planation oi his removal is of the high est imprt'ance and throws a curious light on the Dreyfus case and explains in some measure the 'attitude of the i government. I have the facts on in disputable authority that when his pre decessor, Baron Von Heune, left Paris, he handed Von Funkle a list of persons in France who were in relation with the German intelligence department, enjoining him never to let it out of his own hands. Von 'Funckle carried the document in a leather 'bag around ibis neck. Shortly afteT entering upon his duties, an accident occurred whereby a woman of ill repute obtained the docu ment and took it to the foreign office, where it was hastily photographed and ; returned to her, she returning it to Von I Funckle who, in the meanwhile hJad j discovered his loss and like en honest ! soldier an'd attache hastened! to in 1 form the German government of his I mishap, hence his recall "Curiously enough, the woman refus ed compensation, though ta large sum was offered her, 'but she caused amuse ment at the foreign office 'by remark - ' ing that What she had done was for la patrie (the fatherland). '"With the photograph of the docu ment, the French government Went deliberately to Work, and I am 'assured, on authority, that this leaves no room for dou'bt that the name of Dreyfus lappeared on it, but it 'being a common name in both Germany and France, suspicion did not immediately fall on the officer subsequently condemned. Later it served 'as confirmatory evi dence." Why Cleveland Did Not Annex Hawaii Washington, January 19. -Senator Morgan continued his speech in ad vocacy of the ratification of the Ha waiian annexation treaty in the exe cutive session of the senate today. He announced at the conclusion of to day's session that he probably would Vequire one more day in which to com plete his representation of the sub ject. Senator 3Ibrgan dealt today with the questions of the agricultural and com mercial possibilities of the islands, with the character of the present gov ernment and with the. position of the residents of the island on the subject of annexation. He repeated his asser tion that President Cleveland was fav orable to the acquisition of the islands and again expressed the opinion that it was his intention to have restored Queen Lilioukalani and to have nego tiated with her a treaty of annexation. He' elaborated his views on this-subject at considerable length, saying that while he believed it -was 3Ir. Cleve land's intention to have annexed the I Islands. "h naturallv changed hia in- k , :,z - ttTlllJUll LU MV Ui9 kill vuil tilt l t7fcvi rion of the queen when she made known'her blood thirsty disposition to ward those who had dethroned her.

THE FIGHT FOR CUBA RENEWED BY THE DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE Several Amendments According Belllger eot Bights Offered to the Diplomatic Appropriation Dill All Defeated by Strle: Party Tote on Points of Order A Final Test to Day on Motion to Re commit the Bill New England Senators Hear Something About High Tariff aad Idle' Cotton Mills SENATE. Washington, January 19. A spirited debate was precipitated In the senate to day by the introduction of a resolution by Senator Hoar, providing for an in quiry by the committee on postoffices and postroads concerning the recent or der of the postmaster general reducing the force of letter carriers in several cities of the country Senator Hoar declared that the order had had the effect of a dynamite bomb in creating consternation among busi- ness men throughout the country, while apparently all that was needed by the postoffice department was an appropria tion of $150,0X to fully maintain the effi ciency of , the carrier service. The debate took a wide range, Sena tor Wo'.cott, chairman of the committee on postoffices and poastroads, insisting, that many New England people repre sented by the senator from Massachu setts (Mr. Hoar), were responsible for the deficiency in the funds of the post office department, because they insisted that the government should carry( second class mail at an enormous loss. Senator Allen, of Nebraska, charged that the government was annual'ly de frauded out of millions of dollars through the under-weighing of mail mat ter. He spoke sarcastically of the good times the people of New England were having under the Dingley law, with their strikes and lockouts. He thought that a good many of them would now have time to go to the postoffices to get their mail if it was not promptly delivered by a carrier. He thought the great point involved in the discussion of the postof fice finances was the charge that there was an annual leakage of from $S,000,000 to $10,000,000 on account of the under weighing of mail matter. "It is most remarkable," said Senator Allen," that charges of such gravity should be made in the public prints, and yet the party in power should remain with reference to them as sflent as the grave. If we only .had the nerve to take hold of these rrau' ana eradicate tnem, we should have laoney enough to put a corps of ef ficient letter carriers in every city in the land. The resolution was lightly modified and; then passed. Senator st gave notice that he would more tomorrow to take up for considera tion the Teiier resolution reported by the finance committee providing that the bonds of the united States may be paid in standard silver dollars. Senator Vest's notice seems to indicate an intention on the part of some sena tors to displace, temporarily, the Hawai ian annexation treaty, as it is evident, as Senator White, of California, said, that the consideration of the resolution would "precipitate some slight discus sion." At 2:20 o'clock p. m., the senate went into executive session, and at 5 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. All day long thauestion of granting belligerent rights"to the Cuban insur gents was argued in the house. The de bate was precipitated by Mr. Brucker, democrat, "of Michigan, who asked unan imous consent for the consideration of a resolution instructing the committee on foreign affairs to report without further dielay, the senate Cuban belligerency res olution. Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign af fairs committee, made -a point of order which the speaker promptly sustained, and was about to recognize Mr. Hitt to call up the diplomatic and consular ap propriation! bill, when Mr. Bailey, de manded recognition. "One moment, please," he called, "let us first dispose of this question of order." "The chair sustained the point of or der, retorted the speaker tersely. "Then appeal," called Mr. Bailey to Mr Brucker across the hall, and the Mich igan member entered an appeal from the decision of the chair. All was instantly excitement and confusion. A dozen members were on their feet demanding recognition to debate the appeal, but the speaker recognized Mr. Dalzell, who moved to lay the appeal on the table This cut off debate and the speaker put the question. On a rising vote the re publicans stood firm and voted 107 to 94 to layHw-ppeal on the .table. The yeas and nays "were demanded! and obtained by Mr. Bailey. The majority presented an unbroken front. White, of North Carolina, the sol itary colored member of the house, when his name was called, .declined to vote at all, answering "present." But at the con elusion of the roll call he voted "aye." The motion to lay the appeal on the table was carried 168 to 126. The house then, on Mr. Hitt's motion. went into committee of the whole and re sumed the consideration of the diplomat ic and consular appropriation bill. As soon as the first paragraph was read the struggle was resumed. Mr. Williams, democrat, of Mississippi, orcerea an amendment to direct the pres ident to appoint three corrrmissioners to proceed to Cuba, and if possible, nego tiate a treaty cf peace, amity and com merce with the "republic of Cuba." and appropriating $15,000 for defraying the expenses of the commissioners. It was ruleu out of order. Immediately afterward Mr. Lewis, democrat, ot Washington, offered anoth er amendment, providing that to emnha size the fact that a state of war existed in Cuba, the consul general of the United States ait Havana, be withdrawn and the government of Spain be notified of a sus pension of diplomatic relations at that point. Mr. Hitt quickly raised a point of or der, which Air. Hepburn, In the chair, sustained. "I appeal from the decision' of the chair, said Mr. Lewis. "And I make the point that the appeal is dilatory'." exclaimed Mr. ralzell, re publican, of Pennsylvania. "The chair sustains the point of or der," declared Mr. Hepburn, who direct ed the clerk to proceed with the reading. The reading of the bill went on, inter rupted every few minutes by Ave minute speeches from the democratic side, on Cuba, Mr. Sulzer, democrat, of New York, offered an amendment directisns: the president to notify Spain that un less the war ceased in thirty days we would recognize the independence of Cuba and enforce our position by force of arms. Mr. WTlson, democrat, of South Caro lina, presented the Cuban question In still a new form in the hope to engraft it on the bill. It provided for a change in the salary of the United States con sul general at Havana, pending the con tinuance of the present war. He declared that it would be a blot on the name of the house of representatives If it pre vited a vote on the question of the war In Cuba a blot comparable only to that of the law written in blood and of the law suspended so high that it could not be read. Mr. Hitt's potnt of Order disposed of this last amendment. Mr. Hitt opened the general debate on the pending bfil with a brief, but impor tant statement as to our foreign relations with Spain and Cuba and the course of the administration. He sketched the course of affairs since Mr. MeKinley'a advent to power and told of rhe success ful efforts of the president in obtaining the release of all American prisoners in Cuba. But the president had gone far ther. He had proiejted with such em phasis and energy against the barbarities of the war and the policy of concentra tion that General Weyler had been re called in disgrace and the policy of con centration had been abandoned. Fur ther even than this the president had gecu?. He had notified Sagasta that- the war must cease and proposals of settle ment made Within a reasonable time. The president's representations had been listened to by Spain and the scheme of pel f -govern me nt, modeled upon that of Canada, had been issued. He dwU upon the effect of the exten sion of belligerent rights to the insur gents, arguing that it would give Span ish cruisers the right of search and im pose a great hardship on the Cubans, who were without a navy. A declara tion of belligerency would allow Spain's warships to hunt our vessels on the high seas. On the existing situation good men, sympathizing with Cuba s cause. were constantly making their way to the islands. Supplies, guns and ammuni tion were going from the United States. Members, he said, might ask why with all these disadvantages in store for them, the agents of the Cuban republic in this city desired belligerent righits. He referred to General Lee as an offi cer of ability and experience, who could be relied upon to guard zealously our honor at Havana, and concluded with an eloquent appeal to the members of the house, though they might have had dif ferences, to drown all other voices as they did in the Venezuelan crisis and stand by the president and the country. While he; could not prophesy as to the future, he solemnly assured the house that the president would not disappoint the expectations of his countrymen. As Mr. J Hitt Concluded a roar of ap proval swept the floor and the gal leries. Mr. Dinsmore, of Arkansas, the lead ing minority member of the committee on foreign affairs, replied to him" and Messrs. Adams, republican, of Pennsyl vania, chairman of the Cuban sub-com mittee Of . the same committee: Berry, democrat, of Kentucky, and Wheeler, democrat, of Kentucky, also addressed the house during the general debate. The debate will close . tomorrow at 4 o'clock under the arrangement made to day, when a final test will be made on a motion, of which Mr. Williams, demo crat, of Mississippi, gave notice today, to recommit the bill with instructions to report back, the Cuban resolution as a rider. At 5 o'clock the committee arose and the house; adjourned. MR. GLADSTONE'S CONDITION Reports That It Is Critical-Others That it Is Serious The . Medical Statement is That Thefe is no Cause for Alarm' London, January 19. The Pari Mall Gazette this afternoon makes the follow ing announcement in big type: "With deep regret we learn on most excellent authority that Mr. Gladstone's health causes the gravest anxiety to those about him. His sojourn at Cannes has not had the effect of fortifying his strength as anticipated." The news placards of The Pall Mall Gazette read: "Critical Condition of Mr. Gladstone," The Westminster. Gazette, although minimizing the alarming report concern ing the health of Mr. Gladstone, is "con strained to admit the fact that Mr. Glad stone has suffered great pain most of the time he has been at Cannes, being una ble to leave his sofa." Continuing, The Westminster Gazette remarks: "So far as the vital organs are concerned, however, he is no worse. On the other hand, con tinuous pain in a man of Mr. Gladstone's age is undoubtedly a symptom to cause anxiety." An official medical statement issued tonight reasserts that there is no cause for alarm as to Mr. Gladstone's health, although it is not benefitted as much as had been 'hoped ait Cannes. The facial .neuralgic pains persist, with daily fluc tuations, owing- to the cold winds and wet weather; but the complaint is quite local. His physical powers have not suf fered'; his strength is good, his appe tite excellent; he joins the family at rneala and takes regular drives, weather permitting. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gladstone will go to Cannes on 'Saturday in accordance with an arrangement made weeks ago. Lord Stuart Randel, whom Mr. Glad stone is visiting, 'telegraphed tonight at 8:40 o'clock that Mr. Gladstone's health was unchanged. The Earthquake in San Domingo New York, January 19. The Clyde Xrne "steamer Cherokee, which arrived today from San Domingo ports brings details of the recent earthquakes which have occurred with frequency since December 20th last. Great damage has 'been caused throughout the whole country and the inhabitants Were, driven from their holes in panic. In Santiago a number of churches were rendered dangerous far use and will of necessity berefbuilt. The eem etary walls were ruii ed land the dhapel fell -as though it hl 'been struck by a bombshell. The government hufld ings were damaged to a great extent. The grand edifice of Santa Cerro, one of the oldest In the 'Western h-emis phere and dating from the time of Co lumbus, was "entirely destroyed. All over the island the shocks were felt. Almost every day since TecembeT 20th there have been shocks, but of compar atively harmless mature. As far as is ; known there has been no loss of human ' life.

Charges of Cruelty to Convicts Messenger Bureau. Raleigh, 3f. C, January 19. Lee's birthday,. a state holiday, was observed here by the closing of the banks and the capitol and the display of state flags on the ratter. The vari ous departments were open however. At the public schools there were exer cises appropriate to the day. Superintendent Mewboorne, of the penitentiary, said today. "I Avill in about ten days, or when all the cotton is picked, have all the female convicts sent from the farms to the penitentiary, so they can work In the ahirt factory. There are about twenty of them. I think the penitentiary the proper place for them. I think, with the open weather, cotton picking can be finish ed in ten days. The crop is 3,000 bales; on the Caldonia farm alone 1,800. I do not think we can permit any state con victs to work on railways this winter. We need all the money we can get and the convicts must bring revenue. Today before the governor there was a plea by J. C. L. Harris for the ivardon of Tom Robertson, the young white farmer. Who was sentenced to the pub lic roads in Wake for five years for se ducing Julia Hester. Robertson's peo ple raised $1,000 as a compromise. It is said that Miss Hester's attorney de manded $100 more. Yesterday afternoon a negro convict. who last Saturday was sent to the roads here to serve four months' sen tence, fell dead in the road just as the gang had started on the march to quar ters. Senator 'Butler in his paper today editorially calls on the governor to re move Robert Hancock as president of the Atlantic and North Carolina rail way, saying if the facts are as reported Hancock is not fit to hold any public position, and that he is sure if the gov- enar, upon investigation finds the facts to be as stated he will remove Hancock at once. Senator Butler attacks the Tecent convention of "middle-of-the-road pop ulists, saying their action was a prosti tution of the referendom vote which is part of .the populist platform. Today investigation of charges of cruelty to Rowian county's convicts be gan at. .Stttabury The charges are made by a newspaper and are direct. Postmster Clark, of Southern Pines, sues a paper here for libel. The suit grows out of a statement made re garding, his son who as stated lately left Southern Pines and resigned as United States commissioner. Young Clark is now in 'Raleigh. It is intimated that Senator Pritchard has already selected a chief clerk for Carl Duncan, revenue collector. The Bell Telephone Company in ex ceptions to the railway commission's order reducing rates says the two new commissioners are not the legal ones. This takes advantage of the fight of J. W. and Otho Wilson. Officials of the Stone. Mountain rail way say that bonds cannot be mar keted now, pending the trouble as to repudiation by certain counties. There is general pleasure at the injunction checking the Stanly county repudia tion. It is understood that the penitentiary report is now in hand. The public cer tainly wishes to see It. The directors met today. The night guard is taken off now at the railway commision office. The Baptist State mission board last evening appropriated $7,500 for its work Two months ago it appropriated a like sum.

The crew of the steamship Stockholm City, which arrived here tonight, had a desperate Jattle with fires, which started last Sunday night In the coal bunkers. They lost all of their effects and counted themselves lucky to es cape with tneir lives, the vessel's charts an'd coinpass, together with the cap tain's cabin, the wheelhouse and other wood wot k being consumed. No pro visions were saved except a small sup ply of potatoes and pork, on which the men subsisted until they reached here tonight. Captain "Richards says he managed to retain control of the vessel, although the steering gear was disabled and the man at the wheel driven from his post by thi heat. Knowing the latitude he was in, he kept the ship on her course. After a long an'd fierce fight the men succeeded in extinguishing the fire this morning and the steamer came Into port under her own steam. The stock holm City left "Manch ester on Decem ber 24th, light. She was bound for Newport News for a cargo. The dam age to the vessel will amount to S0, 000.
