The public haa become convinced that the committee's Investigation of railway matters la very searching, and so it is. Yesterday there was close and persistent inquiry into the affairs of he Raleigh and Gaston railway, which will in all probability lead to some im portant results. This morning Mr. Julius A. Gray, of Greensboro, was be- ore the committee and was questioned regarding the affairs of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railway and the North State Improvement Company which, controls it. There is no saying how long th6 committee will be in ses sion, but it has a great deal yet to do. The affairs of the Marietta and North Georgia railway will be carefully scru tinized, borne of the railway people appear to be a trifle nervous regarding the investigation. Next Tuesday a committee will meet rhere and make the final choice of the site for the Baptist State female col lege, about which there has been go much talk. It i a said that most of the committee favor a site in the heart of the city. That is their affair, of course, but your correspondent still be lieves that a large tract of ground in the suburbs, would be a better, site for such an institution. Tho State board of education has re ceived some $12,000 from the sale of swamp lands during tho current fiscal year. : It was learned last evening that next week the committees representing the Richmond and Danville, Seaboard and. North Carolina railways willmeethere next week and adopt the plan for the Union depot and that thereupon work will immediately begin. It is the belief that the negro exodus will be greater late this year than it was last winter. The strain of trans portation will fall heaviest upon the Richmond and Danville road, which handled most of the exodusters last year, though the Coast Line handled a good, many. There were times last win ter when the agents could not get cars. Several times solid trains of East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia cars were made up and left here. Next winter better arrangements for rapid handling of the negroes will probably be made.

Copyright.-1- J As the Emperor starts to-morrow upon ' a flashing tour of the various points of the country; which will continue until the eve of the meeting of the Reich stag, a council was held at the Schloss to-day to consider the ministerial pro gramme. I Although! the goverment officials now pretend to Ignore, the press .re liable communications are obtainable when the ministers deem them oppor tune. In this way It is known that the council .considered measures relating to reforms in the educational system, to the abrogation of the remaining May laws, to the strike movements and to the erection of monuments to the late Emperors William and Frederick. Although minister Von Gossler show ed no intention during yesterday's de bate in the Landtag to concede the full demands of the Catholic clericals he indicated the desire of theovernment to sweep away the last traces of the May laws. ! A section of the centre party not closely adhering to Wind thorst take jVon Goseler's assurances as satisfactory and will support the gov ernment. Leaders of the centrist minority. Barons Von Huene and Schorlemenast, are more ready than is Windtborst to form a coalition. The old government groups have al ready assumed a position leading to a combination with the conservatives, imperialists and right wing of the national liberals. The prospects of the government having a majority in the Reichstag are therefore good. Should the education measure before the coun cil extend to the clergy the control of the schools, the solid vote of the centrists would be secured thus assuring ah overwhelming majority. In to-days debate in the Unterhaus the free conservative speakers declared their intention of meeting some of the demands of .the centrists. Herr Seid litz speaking for the free conservative party announced its readiness to open negotiations with a view to supporting the desires of the clericals in regard to proceedure connected with the oath taken by the administrators of the bishoprics.) He could not, he said, con cede the ecclesiastical supervision of schools or tte creation of a Catholic de partment in the ministry of worship.
