Kates, eu perintendent of the Poftal Telegraph company, was before the Legislative committee which is investigating the taxation of corporations, and testified regarding his company. Mr. J. Di Bonshall, chief clerk of the State Aui- ditor, and Mr. Dibrell, auditor of the I Southern Expres3 compaoy, were ahd examined. j There wa9 a great deal of talk here to-day about the- Allicince news frojn Ocala, Florida Your correspondent observed a curious fact, which the United Press did not mentiocf. 'The telegram printed in the M.Louis Globe Memoes at of Novtmber 22d, purporting to have been sent from Atlanta, was a very long ouo. Follovciutf it was an otner special, dated at Kaleigh, con taining xyery harsh comments. This special was not sent from Raltigh, nor was it written here. Like the one from Atlanta, it was probably prepared in Washington,, It is charged that D. H. Rittenhouse, Polk's private secretarj", wrote these specials. Rittenhouse is a sharp fellow and lived for a time in Halifax county. Pennsylvania is his hNme. lie will now have to explain, ustas McCune will havexto tell "what lie knows" about that Georgia Senator- ship matter. McCune is pretty badly in the mire, it appears.

Holt was here to-day and he said he was informed that the hitch in regard to the building ofv the new depot herd had been straightened out. With the facts he was not conversant,x he stated, but would know next week. The new cotton factory, to cost $150, 000, is assured, it is now positively as serted. It will be locatedXon Mr. W. G. Upchurch's lands, a mile south of the city. During the eighteen months ending July 1st, 1890, 10,427 persons werex tried for criminal offences in this State. There were of this number 3,318 c6n victions. Many persons regret that the Board of Agriculture did not discuss and act upon the question of holding a State exposition next year. Tne Visit or, of this city, presents the name of Mr. Hal. V. Ayer, associate " editor of the State Chronicle, as that of the right man for the head of the exposition. Interest in the Smith case in the Cir cuit court today was unabated and some powerful speeches were made by coun sel on both sides. The case affords a capital subject for a novel. Each side introduced startling evidence. Mr. Harry Walters, of the Coast Line, has very obligingly promised your correspondent to give the First Virginia Regiment, if it encamps at vvrigntsviiie, tne same rates two thirds of a cent per mile each way) which is given the State Guard. The regiment will certainly go into camp; the place of encampment is not yet chosen. The signs of rain and snow all failed and the weather is very dry. It is also warmer, and the cold wave which last night's press telegrams referred to, did not materialize here, A commission has been issued to Stark S. Batchelor as captain of the Governor's Guard, Company C, First regiment. - To-day there was a very large as semblage of public school teachers and of friends of education, at the court house, to hear, addresses by Professor E. A. Alderman and Ma j. S; M. Finger, State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion. Very earnest efforts will be. made to induce the Legislature to extend more aid to the public school system.

Oca la, Fla., Dec. 5. One of the Kansas delegates introduced and had passed at 2 esterdaj's National Al 'a ce meeting; a resolution reciting that tfce United States census returns with re epect to farm mortgages was grossly incorrect and calling upon alt county and ub alliances in all the States of the Union to take immediate steps to ward Mcuring accurate statistics from cointy r c rds and make prompt re ports thereon. T. R. Carikaden, of West Virginia, offered a resolution in favor of closing the Columbian Exposition on Sunday which provokdd no terious opposition, and was pasted unanimously. The National treasur submited his annual report last night, but it is in complete, owing to the constant pay ment of sub-Alliance dues during the sesoion. During the past year 1009 new charters were ioaued to sub-Alliances as follows: West Virginia, 2SJ; Colora do, 152; Indiana, 132; Michigan, 108; Virginia, 95; Illinois, 87; South Caroli na, 83; Ohio, 61; Pennsylvania, 59; New Jersey, 20; Minnesota, 8; Iowa, 0; Ore gan, 1; Oklahoma 1. State charters have been issued to the following states. Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan, WestxVirginia, Oklahoma and North Dakota. i The feeling over the pasfage of the anti-Election bill resolution of Wednes day was high, and there is a strong pressure being made for the the intro duction of a resolution to expunge it from the records of the Alliance. The Third party movement is gain ing ground rapidly. The presence here of so manv renresentatives of National NLabor, and Industrial organizations strengthens the opinionx that the en tire "reform" element inthis country will join this new movement. Western and Northwestern delegatesxare said to be practically united on endorsing the Rice-Davis call, and it is predicted that they will demand of the Southern Democrats in the Alliance that they join in the movement this in payment of the debt incurred by the latter to Western Alliance men who sat by and raised no protest against the passage of the anti-election bill resolution. It U not believed, however, that the Southern members will renounce one partiele of their allegiance to the Dem ocratic party. This Third party pro ject is the uppermost topic of discus sion in hotels and everywhere in the city outside of the Alliance hall. Some question having been raised as to the uuanimous endorsement of the Su Louis platform by the National Al lianee last year,"Livingston,of Georgia, this morning moved its adoption by the present body. Some debate followed, but the motion w-as adopted with an amendment so as to demand Govern ment conirol of railroad and telegraph lines aud if this shall not result in re lief to the masses and in checking or curing existing evils, the Government shall became th9 actual owners of such lines. This platform does not include the sub-Treasury bill. Colonel Livingston made a report which is to furnish the basis for an ul timate union between the National Farmers Alliance and the Industrial Union an (i Farmers Mutual Benefit As sociation which ,has an organization with a large membership in the west ern states. Under this proposition the MutualBenefitAesociation is- to still maintain Hs separate organization, but to be entitled to representation in the National Alliance council and the Ex ecutive committee of each orgar ization is to meet hereafter arid arrange the detailsof thisunion. The report was adopted without dissent. This ac tion' undoubtedly means thex absolute consolidation of these two organiza tions in the hear future Mr. Wade, of Tennessee, offered an amendment to the platform that every Alliance lecture r, State and National and all newspaper organs of the Alli ance shall support the H. Louis and Ocala platforms or suffer suspension from the order, and urtht-r, that no candidate for any National political office shall bo supported by alliance members unless, he endorses this plat: foJm and any sub-Alliance not comply - mg with these restrictions may be sus- pended at the pleasure of tl'e prt-si- dent. This was adopted and the whole platform as amended, was adapted unamraouslv. A Steamboat Collision. Chester, Penn.,Dec. 5. The steam- er Gulf Stream, Capt. Hines, from Richmond to Philadelphia, was- run iu- to early this morning in thick weather on the Delaware river off this citv by ! the steamer General Cad walader, Capt. Lock, of the Baltimore line and was considerably damaged. The t adawia der struck the Gulf Stream a midship?, port side, starting; her 6heeis above and below the water line. When ihe Cai walder backed out the Gulf Stream made water rapidly and Capt. Hines ran bis vessel aground on the upper end of Chester Island, . where she now lies in a favorable posit ion She was laden with a cargo of general merchandise, and lighters are at work lightering her so as to float her, and make repairs. It is impossible to tell the extent of damage to her cargo ui til it is removed. The Cadawlaoer bad her stem bent, sheets started and waist torn away, but all above the water line. She proceeded this morning to Balti more. It is difficult to tell who is to blame if there is at y blame. The Gulf Stream is a new b at owned in Phila delphia. It may be several days before she can be floated. Church and Schoel B a rued. PrrrsBURO, Pa., Dec. 5.

DUNN fc CO'S RENIEW ANO SUM MARY OF TRADE Removal or Canaoe of Commercial Deprei Ion For lea Commereo Heavily la our Favor-Heavy K pot -The Volame of Trade Sorpalncly La HE Average Ad vance In Price. New York, Dec. i-The weekly circular of R, G. Dun &" Co., ays: Tho stringency in commercial loans noticed Lu-t week as the chief cause of the pre tent disturbance Is now dmot the only remaining cause. The Influence of r.urooeao troubles has passed. The Bank of England has reduced its rate to 5 per cent, gaining 3,5fc.5,U00 in gold for the week, and the Bank of France 130,000 in gold. Foreign commerce is heavy in favor of this country, while imports at New York for November exceed last year's, which were unusually light, by 12 per cent, the increase in exports here has been 8i per cent, though last year's were remarkably heavy, so that the excess of exports for the month was probably over 30,000,000. Thus, no pressure cr difficulty should now be felt here if foreign influence only were operative. In domestic affairs there has been a distinct improvement in disposition of banks and money lenders to give neces sary support to legitimate business, curtailing speculatve advances as far as possible. There was the disposition shown, not only in much larger issues or the Clearing House certificates, and larger loans here,but also in despatches from many other places. The volumes of trade is still surpris ingly heavy. The legitimate business of the country should soon recover its normal state of health Reports from other cities show that the cheapness of cotton at the South, and the delay of winter weather at the North have somewhat reduced transac tions and caused more tatdiness in col lections than heretofore, but colder weather and the approach of the holi day season already begin to haye a favorable effect at many points. In general, the volume of trade throughout the country is so heavy that," with the advance of 7J per cent, in prices since a year ago, larger sup plies of money are absorbed. The amount of currency in circula tion is now over 1 1,504,000,000, being 87,000,000 larger than a year ago. The treasury has taken in about $2, 400,000 more than it has paid out for the past week. Industry is remarka bly well employedVat fair wages. Business failures of the week number 282 against 271 for the corresponding week last jTear. The Third Party Call. . Ocala, Fla., Dec. 5.

Trrope Preparing to Advance. Chicago, Dec. 5. A special from Pine Ridge agency says: the situation is not materially changed. The hostile Rosebud Indians sleep upon their arms, prepared constantly for an attaca. They have three lines of signal couriers between the agency and the camp acd any movements of the troop can be known in a few moments. They. have taken all. they wish of the Government beef herd and burned buildings and corrals. They are living high and are happy. They have moved to the edge ot the Bad Lands. The military prep arations proceed rapidly. Unless the Indians come in within a very few days the troops will be equipped and in po sition, when advar ces may be ordered. Dlamater A Co.

LONDON, Dec. 5 In accordance with the instructions of the United Labor council of the port of London, the union seamen and firemen on the. ves sels of Shaw, Saville, Bienn & Co., the British Indian Steam Navigation company and the New Zealand Shipping company went out on strike to day, their grievance being tho em ployment of non-union men by the com panies. The Shipping Federation is supplying crews in place of the striker. In consequence of the recent brutal at tacks upon the black-legs, a force of police has beun stationed along the wharves to protect the non-union men. The Railway Taxation Committee. Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 5 Special. The Legislative committee on rail way taxation adjourns finally to-mor row. Its report, after a month of in vestigation of the officers of tho various corporations, was finished to dav, and your correspondent is specially given synopsis of it to night. 1 he report begins with the Raleigh and Gaston railway, and the cemmittee finds that it has for several years earned over 8 per cent. Its charter provides that if after fifteen years from the granting of the charter in 1833 it makes over 8 per cent, profit after deducting all expenses then the Legislature may tax each share of 6tock twenty five cents. The committee recommends the taxing of its 6hares in accordance with the char ter. A nice question is submitted to the Legislature as to whether or not the stock held by this railway in tho Carolina Central railway shall be sub- Meet to taxation. YV Dlie tne Carolina Central stock is valueless to Individual stockholders, yet the Raleigh and Gas ton having a majority of the shares, as a corporation makes them profitable. The committee recommends in the case of the North Carolina railway that the assessment of its road bed be re duced largely. The higher the assess ment upon this road, the lower tne tax is. The committee finds as to tho At lantic,Tennessee and Ohio railway, that no taxes can be levied on It until 1802, as Its charter exempts it for twenty years from its completion in 1872. As to the Wilmington ana vvciaon railwav the committee finds that Its 1 shares and property are exempt from taxation by its charter and, by a decls- ion of the United States Supreme court: that only such of its property as i 19 not aciuauy USCU in opt;ruilU ilk is liable to taxation. There Is a doubtful Question with the committee whether certain lands bought along the road for tho purpose of supplying I fuel for its engines are not property ao- a t -M a 1 tuauv usea in ope raung ine roau anu I there is the same doubt as to property on which there are gravel pits. If this I property is liable the State will receive about three thousand dollars yearly in I taxes. The committee after reciting all these facts recommends that the rHslature accent the proposition of the Wilmington and Weldon railway made last June to be assessed 18,000 per mile on its main line and 4,000 on its branches which will yield a tax of 120,- 000 yearly. Heretofore not a cent has been paid. To part of this recommen dation Senator Aycock of tho commit tee will file an objection. The committee recommends a license tax on express companies in jlleu of a tax on gross earnings ana alfo recom mends a mileage tax on telegraph companies. This was decided upon after examinations of JW. Kates, of the Postal Tel graph and Auditor Dib rell of tho Southern Express company. , Loea of Ufe at a Fire. Pittsburg, Penn., Dec. 5.
