THE SCHOOL BOOK BILL Report of the Snb-Commltftee to the Joint Committee-Mush Opposition (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, January SO. The sub committee on the Aycock school text book bill reported to the joint commit tee on education this afternoon its amended bill. The bill, as agreed upon. is substantially the original bill, re taining the features of committees of practical teachers to co-operate with the state board of education in the se lection of books to be used. Only two sections were adopted the first declaring for state adoption, the second providing for a uniform sys tem.

FATE OF TOT SHIP SUBSIDY BILL To be Settled Today In a Conference of Demoaratlc, Popallsc and Silver Re publican Senators. Washington, January 30. A confer ence of democrats and their associates of the populist and silver republican faith will be held tomorrow as a result of the declaration yesterday by Mr. Frye that he intended to push the con sideration of the ship subsidy bill to the exclusion of all other business, ex cept by vote of the senate. This con ference will determine the fate of the bill. If the opponents of the measure decide to continue a stiff fight, and de bate the measure at great length, It will mean defeat at this session, with the short time remaining to pass the appropriation bills. Some of the opponents of the bill on the democratic side feel that if the re publicans are determined to pass the bill the minority should not go further than to state their objections rally and vote against, but let the republicans take the responsibility which, is theirs. No one wants an extra session and that will be avoided If there is any pos sible way of doing so. It Is even said that the Spooner bill will be passed in order to avoid such session. Republi can leaders say that they believe an extra session can be avoided. They also say that the democrats must decide whether they will take the responsibil ity of defeating the subsidy bill and if they are ready to take that responsi bility then other necessary legislation will be pressed rapidly to avoid an ex tra session. - Pepsin preparations often fthl to re lieve Indigestion, because they can di gest' only albuminous foods.

SENATE. Washington, January 30. The shipp ing bill was kept at the front in the senate through the day. No apprecia ble progress was made, most of the time being occupied by Senator Turley, of Tennessee, and Senator Jones, of Ar kansas, In speeches severely arraign ing the bill's alleged favoritism. The senate agreed to a resolution in troduced by Senator Jones, of Arkan sas, requesting the secretary of war to inform the senate whether the execu tive council of Porto Rico has agreed to guarantee dividends to corporations doing business in that island and if so to report all details. The conference report upon the army reorganization bill was presented by Senator Hawley. Senator Butler, of North Carolina, in sisted, that there had been an increase of color sergeants in the artillery pro vision. Senator Hawley denied that there had been any increase of officers in any instance over the numbers per mitted in the bill as it passed either the house or the senate. When at 2 o'clock the shipping bill was laid before the senate as unfinish ed business, Senator Hawley sought to continue consideration of the army bill. Senator Pettigrew objected and Sen ator Hawley finally yielded and gave notice that he would call up the army bill tomorrow Consideration of the subsidy bill be ing resumed, Senator Aldrich gave no tice of two amendments, one providing that applicants for subsidy shall con tract to build a new vessel within the United States within three years and a second providing that the utmost limit of subsidy shall be fifteen years instead of twenty.

The anti-polygamy crusade which re sulted in driving Mr. Roberts, Utah's representative, from his s4at at the last session, had an echo in the house today during the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. When the section making the appropriations for agricultural colleges of the several states was reached Mr. Landis, of In diana, offered an amendment providing that no money should.be paid to the college in Utah until the secretary of agriculture was satisfied that no trus tee, officer, teacher or employee in the institution practiced polygamy. Mr. King, who succeeded Mr. Roberts, tried in vain to head it off but the house adopted the amendment. Mr. Landis said he was credibly in formed that one of the professors in the agricultural college of Utah had three vives and one two and that one of the trustees had seven wives who had blessed him with thirty-nine children. These statements he said had been made by one of the leading papers of Salt Lake City, and so far as he knew the official organization of the Mormon church had not denied it. Mr. King then retaliated by offering an amendment providing that none cf the money should go to agricultural colleges in any state where Instructors or trusteees have engaged In lynchinj or been guilty of adultery or fornica tlon. He afterwards modified it so as to apply only to the agricultural col lege of Indiana. It was, of course, over whelmingly defeated. Subsequently when the bill was reported to the house the Landis amendment was striken out by a vote of 69 to 19. The "friends or the farmer were very much In evidence during the day Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, chairman of the committee on elections No. 1 submitted the report on the contested election case of Walker vs. Rhea from the Ninth Virginia district. The committee found that while gross frauds and irregular! ties occurred in the election they fell "very far short," of changing the re sult. The committee therefore recom mended that Mr. Rhea, the sitting member, who is a democrat, should re tain his seat. Messrs. Linney, of North Carolina, and Samuel Davenport, of Pennsylvania, disssented from the con elusion of the majority and were given leave to file, their views. The report will be called up in the near future. The agricultural appropriation bill was passed and the house adjourned.

Pekin. January 30. The ministers punishment committee met this morn ing to continue the discussion of what measure of punishment to demand for provincial officials, where foreigners have been killed.

They insulted Mr. Jame son's guest? and Mr. Jameson sent for the guard stationed ait the legation. In. the struggle an Italian was wounded. They were all arrested and turned over to the Italian authorities, who have re quested an explanation. The missionaries last night met and prepared final resolutions, which were presented to the British and United States ministers today. The preamble sets forth the fact, .. "not sufficiently emphasized in the note" that the Chi nese acknowledged that there had been no adequate rebuke for Ithe flagrant violation of treaties and that no in demnity, is asked for the Christian Chi nese who suffered heavy loss. Finally, the missionaries say nothing has been inserted in the note safe-guarding the missionaries and they earnestly request Sir Ernest Satow ana Mr. Conger to see that the former treaties protecting missionaries are re-affirmed ;that the government should be forced to allow Chinese of any rank to accept Christi anity without injury to their prospects; that the missionaries should be allowed to live In the interior, own property and possess passports compelling their official acceptance; that friendly inter course between the missionaries and of ficials be encouraged, and that relief should be found for the suffering native Christians. The missionaries earnestly hope that Great Britain and the United States will take a leading part in the coming transformation of China, help ing the rulers to enter lines of reform which alone can serve the country. BARROOM WHICKERS A Woman's Christian Temperance Union Party Raid a Kansas Town A Boston Wrecker" Comes to Grief Anthony, Kan., January 30. Mrs. Carrie Nation was outdone here today when a band of Woman's Christian Temperance Union women, headed by Mrs. Sheriff, of Danville, Kansas, com pletely wrecked the fixtures in four "jeints," smashing plate glass windows and mirrors right and left, and turned gallons of liquor into the gutters. The women, who were of the best families in Anthony, were accompanied by thei: husbands and sons or brothers, who assured protection. No arrests were made. a The band will, it is said, start out to morrow on a tour of destruction through Harper county, which is pro lific in saloons. Mrs. Sheriff, who led today's raid, is under bond to appear at Danville in April to answer a charge of saloon wrecking placed against her six weeks ago. She came to Anthony late yes terday and worked all night procuring hatchets, axes and other implements of destruction and it was 2 o'clock this morning before she had perfected plans for the raid. She enlisted fourteen women, all of Anthony. They began their attack shortly after daybreak, taking the sa loon keepers and the town officials by surprise. A drur store was the first point at tacked, but though demolishing costly bar fixtures and a register they were unable to locate the stock of liquor. The next place, half a block away, was thoroughly wrecked. The proprietor attempted to stop the work, but one of the husband body guard, with a -blow on the head with a beer bottle quickly rendered the irate proprietor hors du combat. Two more "joints" were visited in quick succession. Their furniture was demolished and the stocks of liquor emptied. The women then knelt and prayed They asked the Almighty to guide them to other dens of iniquity and di rect their footsteps to other rum curs ed towns in Kansas. Immediately warning was telephoned to adjacent towns by local saloon sympathizers who wished to warn their fellow saloon keepers. The mayor swore in extra police who placed under strict surveil lance the women engaged In today's work. As a sequel to the raid a number of young men and two or three smal boys became reeling drunk. Topeka. Kan., January 30. Mrs. Car rie Nation today organized a band of forty-six women to follow her leader ship and assist in wiping out joints.

Mrs. Mary Green, who seemed to be famil iar with themethods of Mrs. Carrie Nation, of Kansas, wrecked a Cam bridge street bar room last evening and today was sentenced to serve termat the house of correction. Mrs. Green not only laid the bar tender low with a plate, but alsa re duced the bar ware to molecules, shat tered several plate glass mirrors and drove the frightened patrons of the es tablishment into the wine cellar. "I'm Carrie Nation." she yelled, "and I'll leave no rum shop fn town when I get through." ' Pepsin preparations often fail to re lieve indigestion because they can di gest only albuminous foods.

Mr. Caho offered the other, to make the rate 8 1-3 cents on property and 25 cents on poll; that of this enough be applied to the soldiers home to give $200 per cap! ta, the remainder to be apportioned among pensioners. He estimated this tax would yield $200,000. A resolution was introduced that there be an appropriation of $5,000 for new buildings at the soldiers' home.

The de partment of state has now cabled to Mr. Conger very precise and detailed Instructions for his guidance in treat ing the question of Indemnity. The ministers have reached finally this im portant topic . which was one of two or three that the state department earnestly desired to have dealt with by other agencies, and at another capital than Pekin. Realizing that it is easily possible to destroy the Chinese government and bring about the partitidn of the em pi re, which all powers express them selves as desirous of preventing, by an Ill-judged effort to force terms as to Indemnity, the state department, it is believed has adopted a lenient attitude, and will lose no opportunity to influ ence other powers accordingly. fc - Such little pills as DeWftfs LiU'e Early Risers are very easily taken, and they are wonderfully effective "In cleansing the liver and bowels.
