I The patter of a new Opera House for Raleigh is gaining much headway, and some df our principal capitalists are dis posed ,o "come down" liberally. That it will be a paying investment if prop erly managed there can be no doubt, and it is apparent that such an improve-' ment ijs greatly needed.

The climate of this section of North Carolina is all that could be desired, and has only to be known to be appreciated. If proper efforts were made and inducements of fered in the way of liberal advertising many of the norlhern tourists who daily pass through our little city might find themselves in our midst on their return from the far South. The Benevolent Protective Order of Elks in this eity haye fitted up in handsome style a suite of rooms in the Messenger building.

" Railroad News. Atlanta, Jan. 31. It is currently reported that Hugh Inman, of Atlanta, will soon succeed E P. Alexander as superintendent of the Central railroad. It is announced in the newspapers that such change will occur in a few days. Inman, who is a director in the Central system ana brother of John H. Inman, president of the Richmond Terminal system, left to-day on a trip over the sy9tem. It is said that Gen.

Receipts of customs rectived in this city from Mon day last to last night exceed any pre vious like period for years past. They amount, foe imports and withdrawals from warehouses altogether, to $5,216, 198.: To-day's receipts will be about $300,000. The great increase was due to activity of importers in getting their goods out t f the hands of the customs officers before the operations of the McKinlev act, which were suspenddd until noon to-day.

I- : Washington, Jan. 31.senate. Senator Cullum presented j two resolu tions of the House of Representatives in the Illinois Legislature. He said that they in- structedj the Secators from that State to vote for the free Coinage bill and against the Force bill, and asked that they be I filed In the records of the Senate so ordered. The House resolution J for themp- pointment of a committee of nine to at tend the funeral of Secretary Windom was laid before the Senate and, Senator Morrill offered a resolution for the ap pointment of a committee Of seven Sen ators to join the House committee in attending the funeral and to take such, other action as may be appropriate in honor of the memory of the deceased. The resolution was agreed to and Sen- atora Morrill, Washburn, Sherman, 1 Allison, Harris, Payne and Gorman were appointed. 1 Senator Morrill also offered a resolu tion, which was agreed to, for the meeting of the Senate Monday at 2 p. m., to enable Senators to attend the funeral. I Senator ; Blair rising to a personal explanation said that he had observed circulating in the newspapers of the country what purp )rted to be a copy of an agreement alleged to have been en tered into by Republican Senators with reference to consideration! of the Force bill. The names of certain Senators were given as having violated the agreement and the allegation was made that all the other Republican Senators had signed the agreement without condition. As to that, the alle gationjwas so broad and so general as to Include him&elf among those who had i signed that agreement without condition. He desired to say that he had never signed such an agreement except with the clear gratification that it should not interfet e with his efforts for consideration of the Educa tion bill. i I -1 The Army Appropriation bill was then taken up and the j amendment of the committee on Appropriations, which was under discussion last Fri day, to strike out the j provision that Government transportation on lanaN aided by railroads shall not not exceed 50 per cent, of charges to private par ties was agreed to. The question then came upon amendment of committee to insert the provision that the Govern ment transportation on land -aider! rail roads shall be paid for on such basis as the Secretary of War may deem just and reasonable, not .to eyeje:- 70 per cent, of the'eharges for like service to private parties. The ! amendment was agreed to and the bill, was passed, j Senator Quay presented the resolu tions of the Pennsylvania Legislature in favor of the Federal Election bill, which were read and laid on the table. The Fortification Appropriation bill was then taken up, but it was laid aside informally and the pension bills on the calendar were proceeded with. There were 110 bills. , I I A message of the President in rela tion to the' vacancy created by . the death of the Secretary of jthe Treasury was laid before the Senate, read and referred to the committee on Finance. The Senate.then adjourned. house of representatives. The Military Academy Appropriation bill passedwithbut further opposition. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, from the committee on Printing reported and the House adopted a resolution for printing,30,000 copies of the Constitu tion of the United States for the use of the House. j ' The House then went into committee of the whole on the deplomatic and con sular appropriation bill, j Mr. McCreary of Kentucky, eulogized the Diplomatic and Consular service J cf this country, contending that it was I the cheapest and most effective in the J world. After a brief criticism of some of the details of the bill, he inveighed against the treatment accorded the committee on Foreign Affairs by the committee on 'Rules. Never before, in his experience on the committee on Foreign Affairs, had! that committee been refused a day of consideration of bills reported by it. This, he attribu ted, in part to the reluctance on the fart of the committee on Rules to air ow the House to pass on the Recipros -ity question. I The committee rose and on motion of Mr. McKinley it was ordered that the House shall meet at 2 o'clock Monday in order to enable the members to at tend the funeral of the late Secretary Windom. 1 The public business being suspended, the House proceeded to pay tribute to the memory of the late Lewis Watson, of Pennsylvania. Aiter eulogistic ad dresses by Mr. O'Neill,! of Pennsyl vania, Mr. Stone, of Pennsylvania and others the House, as a further mark of respect to the memory of the deceased adjourned. i N Lieut.

The Emperor Subject to Xervousness Ad vised to Quit the Use of Tobacco A; Ke volt in Portugal Fighting In Oporto Gen. Booth Develops His Plan of Regen erating London Insurgents Defeated. Berlin, Jan. 31. Copyright. Count Von Waldersee retires from j his position as chief of the staff through his inability to' agree with the Em peror. The Ministers 61 the Court and official circles are past being surprised at anything that may happen in (the Emperor's administration; General Lezynski months ago wa3 the favorite of the Emperor. Ho was almost j ap pointed Minister of War. He was openly spoken of by the Emperor as among the most able of" the German Generals. ' Lezynski short "time ago dined with Prince Bismarck, The next time: he had to attend the Emperor was upon the occasion of his Majesty's recent visit to Cuxhaven. He was then treat ed with studious coldness, the Em peror affecting to be exclusively occu pied with the attentions of the Ham burg officers. ' The causes of Von Waldersee's re tirement are repeated differences with the Emperor and Chancellor von j Ca pri vi in regard to army questions, I His unnincning adnesion to tne set of ex- court chaplain Stocker, has, howeyer, irritated tne imperial temper more than any military dispute. Mr. Waldersee was present Thursday at the annual meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association in which Stoecker is a shining light. Besides these charges Minister May- bach has offeied his resignation to the Emperor, but the Imperial acceptance has been delayed. The Emperor's restless nature, spells of irritability and. uncertain moods are due to physical causes, which make him a difficult '. master to serve. The Post states that Count Von Waldersee desired to command an army corps. The Emperor, in ; the meantime, has given to hinionly a chain of the order of Hohenzollern., His successor as chief of staff will probably be General Von Haeszler, who has the highest reputation as a strategist. He was for a long time member of the general staff before he went to Metz. ;- i ne emperor s entourage concur iin the opinion that it.would be better for his Majesty if he smoked less. Those in intimate contact with him find,with out his being really ill, plain, signs of recurring nervous suffering. The court physicians have strongly advised him to cease the use of tobacco. The Emperor persists in smoking a dozen huge cig ars daily.

Couffe. This is in direct contradiction of the statement made Thursday last by Iiaphall, of this city, which paper stated that the committee had decided in favor of commuting Eyraud's ; sen tance to imprisonment for life. OPORTO. Jan. 31. A tremendous sensation has been caused hereby what may turn out tcbe a revolution against the authority of the Government. Three regiments of infantry openly re volted to-day. The remainder of the garrison, including the municipal guard, remains loyal to the Govern-, ment. The population of Oporto hold aloof from the movement at present. It is alleged that the. object of the mu tineers is to establish a Portuguese republic. The rebels and the loyalists are, as this dispatch is sent, fighting in the streets. Rumor has it that many have been killed on both sides. Citi zens are barricading their houses; and the report is circulated that the Gov ernment troops are being sent in haste from several points in this city. 4:30 p. M. The revolt has been sup pressed and order is once more restored to the city. Shortly after the begin ning of the revolt the insurgent troops and a portion of the Fiscal Guards, led by two non-commissioned officers, seiz ed Hotel Deville (town hall) in Dom Pedro square and proposed to there and then declare a Republic. How eyer a x strong body of loyal troops, composed of artillery j and fusiliers, promptly surrounded ! and laid siege to the Hotel Deville. When that building was well surround ed the artillery opened fire upon it and soon caused the bricks to fly about the head of the insurgents, who defended tne building. Tne Domoardment was followed by a combined, well led and cleverly directed infantry attack. The result was that, after a feeble resis tance, the insurgents surrendered un conditionally. The loss on both sides, so far as known, was slight. The in surgents will be tried by court martial and, in all probability, the ring leaders will be shot. u Made Permanent Keeeiver.

Sena tor Aid rich returned to Washington from Rhode Island this morning. Dur ing the morning-hour h'o was busily en gaged consulting a number of his Re publican colleagues upon the 'condition of the business of the Senate and the prospects of the successful outcome of a further attempt to secure the passage of the Closure rule and the 'Section bills. As already indicated in these dispatches, it was found that tl i-re was a pronounced indisposition' on l ie part of a number of Republican Senators again to enter upon what they re garded as a hopeless struggle, in View of fact that the Republican j "bolters" are still presumably oi the tamo mind as tney were wnen tney voted to lay the Closure rule aside. 'Consequently, it may be stated with positive n ess that the managers of the, Election bill have finally decided to abandon the meas ure in the interest' of the important public business remaining . to be acted upon. i a i. As the result ol tnis decision, it is conceded on both sides of the Chamber that the necessity for an extra session of Congress disappears. The decision has been communicated to the Demo cratic Senators. ' j I ' Washington, Jan. 31, The funeral services over the remains of Secretary Windom will be held Monday.
