A .-um.mrj'i y of Dr. Mott's resolution,
adopted byjtfie IC.'pur!ic;tn State Exe
cutive committee yesterday, was frent
you. The (full te-xt of the resolution r
as follows:
4V.voi7f,jThat a hub coinruiUee of
threi1; mernber of the Executive. -committee,
who shall a'pointone of their
number secretary, be appointed to. re
ceivc and tiake evie nce C4)ncerning the
regUtratiop of voters in the State, and
to prornotejand encourage regi-tration
of voters ir) the State, and to promote
and encourage registration in all the
precincts, and fur ther, to encourage a
county Republican ticket in each coun
ty in the State, for the purpose of se
curing a full and free vote and of af
fording evidence to the National Con
gress of the necessity or not, as the
case may be, for the enactment of a
national election law. I
Jit, sohed further. That the State Exe
cutive committee furnish money, so
far as it cab, to pay a canvasser in eacn
township ifi the Slate to secure regis
tration and ,furnUli evidence of obstruct
lion j
Dr. Mott made quite a speech in
pressing the adoption of this resolu
tion. He had a good deal to say about
the State election law, which the Radi
cals harp upon at, all times. They try
to make the negffoes believe it is a bad
law. Sotne negro preachers hav3
made it their business to speak of the
law, when really they knew nothing
at all alou( it. One of th-m so con
fessed to your correspondent, yet there
is good reason for the belief that, after
he was better informed he continued
his misstatements.
The executive committee. of the
trustees of the State University has
authorized! the purchase of apparatus
for the department of engineering.
The cotton mills here, though the
machinery is not all in operation, are
shipping loOO pounds of yarns daily tj
Philadelphia.
A joint, canvass of this county, has
been arranged to begin September '2(3
at Cary.
At the Department of Agriculture to
day it was learned that some com
plaints are coming in of damage by
rain to the cotton.
Eiist evening there were signs of a
storm, but there was only a squall.
Northwest of here there was a a high
wind and hail and a sharp fall in tem
perture. The weather here to-day is
much coojer, though fair and hne.
The ground is well scaked with water.
Cotton will be hard to pick oat. Con
siderable fodder has been lost, vet the
crop will lie the largest ever gathered.
Some of S the harmless, incurable in
sane havejnot yet been removed from
the insane asylum here to the counties
from wherjee they came. The reason
of this is: that some counties have no
place in which, to care for them.
Several counties have no poorhiouses.
The bid for the construction of the
new union depot will be opened next
Tuesday by Major Winder. Steps
have been taken by the Chamber of
Commerce to secure, if possible, the
entrance of the Albemarle and Raleigh
railway into this depot. There is no
manner of; doubt as to the fact that it
should be admitted.
The board of directors of the peni
tentixry njeets to-day. The statement
of receipt and expenditures for the
quarter just ended will be a good one.
The otlicial and private reports show
that the attendance at the public and
private schools here is now greater than
ever before. As soon as possible an
exact statement of pupils will be se
cured, so its to show what Raleigh is
ooing in an educational way.
Why is it that Wilmington does not
have a young men's Democratic club?
Your correspondent was pained to hear
while in Wilmington a day or two ago
that interest in politics was unusually
languid t,hat there was no such club,
that one could not be organised, and
that Wilmington would not be repre
sented at the State convention of clubs
here on the 24th and 2oth. Now the
fact is that Wilmington cannot afford
to be unrepresented at any State gath
ering, or in anvthing which concerns
North Carolina's industrial, political,
educational or social affairs. That isa
frank statement; and it is hoped it will
stii up the young men of the largest
town in the State. -
A Richmond, Va., band, which fur
nishes delightful music at the com
mencements, will be here at the State
fair. Mr.i Patrick is hard at work on
the fair. There will be many attrac
tions. A balloon ascension will be one.
There will be scores of shows at the
grounds. A bicycle race, 25 miles,
against a horse, will be a feature, if any
one accepts Will. Wynne's challenge
and such a race for a $100 purse.
A great deal will be done for the
benefit of I the Soldiers7 Home during
the fair. jOne of the special features
in this line will be guessing for valua
ble prizesJ There will be 20,000 guess
es. This 'department, of which the
press of the State will be in a few days
fully informed, will be in charge of a
committee of ladies, Mrs. Armistead
Jones, Mrs. Garland Jones, Miss Daisy
Denson and Mis9 Olivia Cowper.
Mrs. Armistead Jones will be secretary.
Three convicts from Pender county
were received at the penitentiary to

The Kennrrij- Speech to b i:piinjr"l
Conferee at Work on the TrirT ' Hill.
Silver ami llond I' urch
Washington, Sept. 17. The con
ferees on the .Tariff bill were in ses
sion this morning about an hour, when
the meeting of the Hou-e required the
presence of its conferees and an ad
journment was taken until 1 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Hut little pro-!
gress was made at the session to-day.
Consideration of the Senate amend
ments Mri'dim was' begun but soon they
came to a place where agreement was
not possible at once and that p irajrrapli
was p issed over for the pre-ent, and so
it was with other paragraphs until the
conferees drifted into a general Ciscus
One of them said, after separation, that
in his opinion it would not be possible
to reach an agreement on all the ques
tions at issue in the bill by Monday
next.
Speaker Reed has at last signed the
River and Harbor Appropriation bill
and the announcement will be made to
the House at the first opportunity.
The next step in order will be to secure
the signature of the presiding officer
of the Senate and the bill will then go
to the Presidout for his approval.
Washington, Sept. 17. A meeting
of the House Judiciary committee to
day, called to consider the resolutions
censuring Representative Kenneiy, of
Ohio, for his speech against the Senate
and Senator Quay and to expunge the
speech from the Cfnnrfionul lin-md
was attended by all the members. Mr.
Kennedy was present and made a state
ment in defence of his action and an
argujnent to prove that the speech, as
published in the 11 cord, was within the
requirtanenV of parliamentary laws.
The committee decided by a majority
that was larre enough to permit Mr.
Adams, of Illinois, to refrain from cast
inga vote, he having already expressed
his opinion of the speech, and the duty
of the House on the floor to report a
resolution directing the Government
printer to omit the speech from the
permanent copy of the Record. A re
port will be made to the House this
afternoon.

The Secretary at Williamstbwn,
Mass., was in direct communication by
wire with Acting Secretary Nettleton
while the offers were being received
and acted on. An official of the Treas
ury Department this afternoon called
attention to the fact that including the
purchase of bonds to-day, the disburse
ments by the treasury in thirty-two
days had exceeded the receipts' by
$50,000,000.
Washington, Sept. 17. The total
offers of 4 per cent, bonds to the Treas

The World's Fair CoiumUiioneni.
Chicago, vSapt. 17. The WrorhTs
Fair commission met this morning and
President Palmer announced his selec
tion of an executive committee. This
committee will name the Director
General, and by virtue of its position
will be the most important in connec
tion with the exposition. The com
mittee will no doubt be accepted by
the commission without opposition, as
named by the president. The commit
tee is composed of thirteen Demo
crats and thirteen Republicans. The
salaries are fixed as follows: President,
$12,000.a year; Secretary, $10,000; Di
rector General, $15,000. It is believed
here that George R. Dayis, of Illinois,
will be made Director General, as his
supporters claim a majority of the
local directors as well as the support of
President Palmer, P. A. B. Widner
and other influential members of the
national commission.

New Haven, Conn., Sept. 17. The
Republican State convention recon
vened in the Hyperion theatre art 10

ary chairman, ex-Lieutenant Governor
Cook presiding and with 1,500 people
present. Senator Piatt, was made
permanent chairman. He addressed
the delegates in a ringing speech. At
one portion he referred in turn to
Blaine, Reed and Harrison. Blaine's
name created a perfect furore. Reed's

cheers and the mention of the Presi
dent was liberally applauded. Nomina
tions were next in order.

Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 17. At a
hi? church dinner at Callerine, Dayis
county, on Sunday, 100 negroes ate
some barbecued pork which had been
poisoned with arsenic by'unknown per
sons. Eight of the negroes are dead
and twenty others are net expected to
recover. Every effort is being made to
find the perpetrators of the crime. A
revival meeting was in progress at the
church, and the members gave a dinner
to ail visitors on Sunday. Plenty of
barbecued pork was pro rid ed, but those
who ate at the first table soon became
violently ill.

senator lilajr addressed the Senate
on me jynr. resolution proposing atu
amendment to the Constitution, con
ferring representation on the District
of Columbia in the Houses of Congress
and in the Electoral College.
t he Senate then devoted an hour to
bills on the -calendar to which there
was no objections. Among the bills
passed were the following: Senate
bill appropriating $30,000 for a public
monument in the city of Washington to
the memory of John Ericsson, inventor
and constructor of the Monitor; Senate
bill appropriating $20,000 for the pur
chase of certain manuscript papers and
correspondence of Thomas Jefferson,
now in possession of his descendants.
Senator Plumb offered a resjlution
to recommit the House Bankruptcy
bill to the Judiciary committee, with
instructions to amend it so as to pro
vide for a system of voluntary bank
ruptcy only, and to report it back so
amended at the earliest practicable
moment. He gave notice that he
would ask a vote on the resolution to
morrow
The private pension bills on the
calendar were taken up, and eighty of
them werepassed in thirty minutes.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. f
Mr. Haugen.of Wisconsin, demanded
the regular order, being the Langston
versus Venable contested election case,
but Mr. Payson interposed with a con
ference report on the Land Grant For
feiture bill.
Mr. Rowell, on behalf- of the com
mittee on Elections, raised the ques
tion Of consideration against the con
ference ".i port. On a standing vote
the result was 4S to 82 against consid
ering the conference, and Mr. O'Fer
rall demanded and the House ordered
the yeas and nays.
Mr. Payson then desired to withdraw
the report, but the Speaker ruled that,
the yeas andnays being ordered, this
could not beBone. The House decided
yeas, 62; nays, 117; not to consider
the conference report.
Mr. Haugen then called up the elec
tion case, against which O'Ferrall
raised the question of consideration.
During the roll call nearly all the
Democratic members deserted the
chamber, leaving but a bare dozen
present to look out for their interest.
The result of the vote was then an
nounced as yeas, 136; nays, 15; the
clerk noting a quorum,
Mr. Haugen immediately demanded
the previous question on the election
case, and the direction, "all go out
was given by the Democratic mana
gers, dug it was not necessary to put
this direction into force, for after an
emphatic protest by Mr. Cheadle,
(Rep.), of Indiana, against the stifling
of debate, Mr. liaueren withdrew his
demand and proceeded with an argu
ment of the case.
Mr. Cheadle, (Rep.,) opposed the
majority resolution and declared that
the Republicans of the House could not
afford to vote Mr. v enable out and
Langston in. The Fourth District of
Virginia was reliably Republican and
it had been carried bv the Democrats
-because of the Republican division.
It was a perfectly plain and natural
statement of the fact that the Republi
can partv in that district had been
beaten solely bv reason of irreconcilable
differences in the party. The Repub
licans had been fairlv beaten, and it
was beaeath the dignity of the Repub
lican party to revise the figures of an
election whicn had oeen 10
to it by thousands oi votes. He
was not his colleagues' keeper, but,
speaking for himself, he said that he
could not under his oath and with his
knowledge of the case, vote to seat the
contestant, and he hoped for the good
name of the House and for the good
name of the great party to which he
belonged, that there would be enough
Republicans voting with him to re
tain Mr. Venable in his seat.
When Mr. Cheadle concluded he was
greeted with applause by the Demo
crats. The case then went over until
to-morrow, Mr. Haugen stating that he
would call the previous question at 2
o'clock.
The Speaker announced his signa
ture to the River and Harbor Appro
priation bill, and then the House, at 5
o'clock, took a recess until 8 o'clock,
the evening session to be for considera
tion of bills reported by the committee
on Military Affairs.
The House at the evening session
passed a dozen or more bills, of which
only one was of general interest. That
was the Senate bill, with amendments,
transferring the weather service to the
Department of Agriculture.
It passed the bill providing that pro
motion to any grade in the army below
Brigadier General, subject to exami
nation, shall be made according to
seniority. The House then adjourned.

The most important event in the In
dustrial improvement of the South oc
curred here yesterday bv the success
ful casting of steel from Southern ma
terial, bv the Basic proces. The
result clearly demonstrate that South
era iron will mate steel and explodes
the notion that the iron contains too
much phospherous to be used for this
purpose. The first cast of twenty-two
tons was made in the presence of a
large crowd and was of superior soft
low-carbon steel, finely adapted for
structural work. The second fornace
will be put in operation "In thirty days.
The great Importance of this event U
the fact that it affords a market for the
lowest grades of Southern iron.
