Numerous Bills wtofen. and Others Tampered With' Democrats tte- ioieing at Disappointed Office Seekers Yet Sore Over the FredDonglasa Itesolars tion Another Sur prise In Store for Fusionists. - ' Messenger Bureau, ) RaIeigh, N. C, March 14. T There was sunshine and gladness to-day Nature and man alike rejoiced at the de parture of the fusion Legislators. Not a few of the members of that party were glad to. leave. There was never a more tricky Legisla ture since 1868.- Nobody knew what to ex pect. Bills .were stolen and juggled with in a disgraceful way. The bill to require rail ways to redeem unused tickets was stolen no less than four times. Yonr correspond ent has this on high authority. Senator Carver was as mad as a wet hen last night 'betariseAhe names' of the ifiye negro""" magis&ates oTTaeFlappar on the Cumberland list. A Republican says he knows the secret; that Republicans from that county had access to the lists and made the changes. It is said that the new (?) trustees of the penitentiary will, never meet. That whole business has fallen flat. Democrats rejoice greatly at the complete "knock-out" wnich Stanford, of Yadkin, got as State librarian "in his mtnd." They rejoice also that Sat terh&td never got that insurance commis sionership, even if he did guard that precious Ewart bill to create that office, with such zealous care. -.- The total number of acts ratified was about 800, your correspondent is told at the office of the Secretary of State. The Governor to-day accepted the resig nation of B. B Winborne as member of the House from Hertford, and commissioned him as clerk of that county's Inferior court, to which position the magistrates had elected him. Mr. Winbornewas one of the ablest and most popular members of the LegisV lature. Senator Moody told your correspondent the truth in the interview of six weeks ago, when he said the charitable institutions would not be hurt The extreme Republi cans, led by Fortune, wanted to grab the Western hospital, but failed utterly.. The most extreme fusionist in either branch of the Legislature was Bryan of Chatham. His record will not be forgotten. - The. Legislature made more campaign ar guments for the Democrats than ten tons .of party, literature could do. . The streets are so muddy that the shaft of the Confederate monument . cannot be hauled to the site until next week. -It is now on a truck two blocks from the site. The second fertilizer bulletin of the agri cultural department will be issued to mor row. This is the quietest wort of the kind ever done here, and is highly creditable to the agriultural department. Campbell, of Cherokee.really expects to be the next Republican nomineejfor Governor. Me enioys tne nappiness or being tbe crank" of the House. Last night he made a speech in which he said that as soon as he became Governor ne would build great nets into the ocean, miles and'miles and catch all the fish passing between the Gulf of .Mexico and Cape Cod. He is full of this idea. But he "will never come back." The Republicans are in a state of mind about the Liougiass resolution. A young .Radical from Monroe was here yesterday and was frank enough to say that it was stirring his people and ft was making them feel blue. Strauge to say, the Republicans, according to him, are cursing the Populists, about this business.. It is whispered that there is to be another surprise for the fusionists this week. The Massachusetts delegation was pleas antly entertained here to-day. Messrs. W. K. Ashley. A. A. Thompson, Charles E. Johnson and John B. Kenney, of the Cham ber of Commerce, took the delegation over the" city, visiting the cotton mills, car wheel foundry, etc. They also visited the State museum and were delighted and astonished. They were entertained handsomely by the Capital cjub. Governor Carr is better to-day, but is not yet able to go to the capital.. . Phillips, of Pitt,' Bryan' and Campbell, the eommittee to inyestigate Mrs. fattie D. B. Arringtoh's complaints .and charges, are at work on the matter. To-day twenty-three tents were sent to Golds boro for use at the Bentonsville monu ment ceremonies. . A student at the Agricultural and Me chanical college died to-day of pneumonia. Here are the most important acts ratihed last night: To require trustees and mort gagees to more particularly describe prem ises to be soldT to incorporate the towns of Creedmoor, Roxabel, Rennert; to extend tor two years time for settlement of State debt; to amend the charters of Hendersonville and Pollocksville: to give road working ays tems to Hyde, Madison, Wilkes, Rutherford, Mitchell, Sampson and Renoir; to appropri ate S8.-500 annually to the Soldiers' Home; to change the time of courts in the Second district; to increase "age of consent" to 12 vears: to limit tne punisnment oi larceny, first offence), pot over $ 20, to one year; to extend cnarrers ox ixmmerciai uaujs. ui Rutherfordton and Commercial bans oi Shelby; to incclporate the North Carolina Dairying assocMtion; to reauce tne ocaie Guard appropmation to.floO per company; to levy a speeisAtax in Sampson; to increase penitentiary appropriation to $45,000 for '95-0; to incorporate fierce college; to amenu charter of Lumberton and Lumber River railroad; to change name of i rench Broad bank at Asheville to First State bank; to allow Kinston to issue bonds; to reduce and fix bonds of county officers. . The annual meeting ot tne board oi trus tees' of the university was held here to day. The report of the president shows that this is the most prosperous year in tne nistory of the university. Four hundred and sixty three students are enrolled, representing twelve States, and being the largest enroll ment ever made. There are 306 under graduate collegiate students, 33 law students, 2d medical students, a graduates oi coneges, candidates for advanced degrees; 40 students in the summer law school, 62 students in the summer schools of geology and biology.

V ermont and Texas, mere are u classes in the university persuing advanced elective e work in 18 dilterent departments of study and containing 386 students. The institution is specially strong in conducting advanced work and training students to make original investigations. The report also shows a remarkable spirit of ecanomy, and a strong manly system of self helb among the students. About 30 young men Bupport themselves partly or wholly bv labor, while at the same time rmrsiiins their studies, and over one 100 are living on money previously earned hv themselves. The average expense of living is about $250, and some reduce their pxnenses to less than 100. One hundred and twehtv-six students have scholarships, and loans have been made to 55, amounting to nearly f 5,000. The- money for loans was donated by Kev. Charles lev. Deems and Wm. K. Vanderbilt. Two beauests have been made during the vpjMvoneof $11,000 by Mrs. Mary Morgan Mason, granddaughter of one of the farmers who gave the land on which the university is located, and one of f 10,000 by Mrs, Mary Bran Speight, whose, iatner, joun a..

A Statement Under Oath of all the ::" ; JKacts by Capt. Grossman Called. ; For by (he Mate De ... '. " partinent. ' New Yoek, March 14. Capt. Crossman, of the" Allianca, which was fired on by a Spanish gunboat near the eastern point of Cuba while on her last trip from Colon, has received the following letter from the De partment of tate: " To Capt. James Crossman, Commander .of the Allianca: . ' " "Bin: I have received your letter of March,-without date, but which reached the departmedt to-day, March 13th, which re ports the circumstances under which the above named steamship on her homeward voyage from Colon. Colombia, to New fi'ork, off the north Cuban coast, on the 8th instant, "was fired upon by a Spanish gunboat. "The department desires to receive from you a statement of the facts in the form of an affidavit, accompanied, if possible,3y a sketch chart, showing the course of "the Allianca in passing Cape Maysi and the dis tance ot the yessel from the nearest point of the island of Cuba. The affidavit should be explicit upon these two points. 'Awaiting such, I am sir, Your obedient, Edwin F.Uhl, Acting Secretary." Capt. Cxossnian said that he would send a chart to the State Department showing where the attack occurred It was in lati tude 20.10 north, longitude 74.15 west. He said he knew his vessel was at least four miles off Cape Maysi, which is the eastern most point of Cuba. He continued: "The man-of-war which attacked us was broad off our port quarter. I will says right here, and this is a statement which I have not made before, that had the man-of-war signaled us with the international code I would have stopped immediately. She raised no such signals, however. Her fire was practically a command, and I am not a man to take orders from any body except my superior officers." A little more in regaro to the identity of the Spaaish man-of-war was learned this morning; Capt. Crossman said that he could plainly see tnat sne naa a copper bottom. In the opinion of experienced seamen this indicates that she must have been a wooden hulled ship, for copper bottoms arc, as - a general rule, used only on wooden ships. If that be so, the Alliauca's assailant was evidently one -of Spam s old ships, for fipain has not built a wooden ship within the last ten years. The State Department should, therefore, the maritime circle thinks, naye little difficulty in discovering the identity of the man-of-war. The Sun's Cotton IJeylew. New York, March 14. Tbe Sun's cotton review says: cotton advanced y to ll points, reacted slightly and then closed steady with sales of 200,000 bales. Liverpool advanced 2 to 2 points, closing very steady.

The Southern spot marketsswere generally steady to nrm.- To-day s ieaiures were: speculation was still humming with life, and prices were still on the move upward. The receipts at the ports and interior towns continued large, it is true, and some are skeptical "about a reduction in the acreage if the bull movement lasts much longer, but the bears were covering freely, partly because Liver pool, contrary to expectations, snowed an advance. Other items which contributed to the strength of the market to-day were the activity of the spot market in Liverpool, the stronger tone of Manchester, the ad vance in spot cotton at the South, a rise of l-16c in nrint cloths at b all River, an in creased demand foi cotton goods in this citv. buying 6f various months for Euro pean account, to say nothing of the- buying by New York and the South and the demand Irom outsiders. iae may aeai is in strong hands.

No Suspicion A boat the Vessels. Savannah,- Ga., March 14 The yacht Pedro Pablo, which arrived here yesterday from New York yia Norfolk, and Wilming ton, is lying at the Raurkes dock under going repairs and will sail as soon as the re pairs are completed. There xs no suspicion attached to the yacht and she is hot under surveulance. She is a new vessel and is being taken to Cuba by Capt. Greenwood, under contract to be used for towing logs. As is customary with all arrivals of south bound yachts, she was inspected by tne cus toms officers. Her Spanish name and the fact that she is on her way to Cuba gtfve rise to a rumor to-day that she was to take on board a number of suspicious boxes lvine at her dock. The customs authori ties were sent for and the boxes were 1 found to contain steam pipe belonging to a repair shop. Neither the customs authorities nor the Spanish Consul here have received any instructions in re gard to either the Pedro Pablo or the British steamship Elsiott, which has cleared tor Costa Rica for fruit. The Elliott has oeen running between -Savannah and Bluenekls for a year until a couple of months ago when she was laid up awaiting a charter. The customs authorities are annoyed by sen sational reports that have been, sent out from here in regard to the alleged suspicious character of the vessels. To Take th Negroes to Liberia.

FRIDAY, MARCH 15 1895. THRILLING ADVENTURES OP A CERTAIN BILL IN THE LAT5 LEGISLATURE.

Special to the Measenger.J Raleigh, March 14-One of Ihe leading Republicans in the State safd to-day that his party and the Populists ought to be ashamed to go home after the way in which the Democrats out generaled them yesterday. Representative Williams, Republican,, of Craven, tells me some history. He says the House journal actually showed that a bill to amend the-charter of 'the Atlantic and North Carolina railway had . passed the House and been ordered enrolled;the fact is, it passed its second reading and that Wil liams, co-operating with the Democrats, preyented its third reading !JSe" discovered. Ua lKfn,.an.1i. Kill i,U.Va office and struck it off. He tells me that two weeks ago the fusionists made their plan to grab this road and Senator Grant was to be State proxy and he, Rice, Abbott and Duncan were to be directors. The ar rangement for the grab of the North Caro lina railway was that Senator Moody was to be- State proxy. Afterwards George Smathers' name was put in. This bill WS9 tabled in the Senate. Yesterday morning in the House when Ray and the Speaker had an altercation, Ray wanted the journal read. - The clerks said they could not find it. Williams tells me that early yesterday morning he saw the journal and that part of it was stolen by unknown persons. It is alleged that thi8 was done to cover up the record regarding the bill to appoint trustees of Goldsboro Graded school. This is all Republican testi mony. The Graded school bill passed the Senate, but the House not only tabled it, but put the "clincher" on it. A day or two after this was done Monroe of Wayne, lound the bill was in the Senate op the clerk's desk. He asked Senator Grant to make a motion to have it returned to the House. This was not done. The Ilouse ordered the bill to be returned to it. The bill then could not be found. Yesterday Mr. Monroe found it was on the enrolling clerk's record book, but the enrolling clerk looked for it and said he could not find it. Monroe kept on trail and last night found the bill was in a batch brought in to be en rolled. He called the Speaker's attention to the facts in the case and thus preyented ratification of the bill. The bill creating the office of Judge of the "Circuit of Mecklenburg, New Hanoyer, etc., was not ratified until after the election of a judge was held. Ewart will bring suit against Judge Thomas . Jones of the Western Criminal circuit and to-day retained T. R. Purnell as his attorney. E. D. Stanford, of Yadkin, who wants to be State librarian, also re-' tained Purnell in a suit he ' will bring against Librarian Ellington. Lee R. Wyatt, grocer, dealer in farm im plements and laundryman and farmer, assigned to-day, assets f 30,000; liabilities $17,000. His assignment is due to insolvency of his partner. The student who died at the Agricultural 1 and Mechanical college was named Zoeller and was from Tarboro. His death was due to pneumonia. Killed by Falling Walls.

The walls, were being removed with this object in view. Tbe Agitator Garza Kilted. . Mobile, Ala., March 14. A cable from Colon, Colombia, printed in last Sunday's papers, gave a brief account of the rebel attack on Bocas del Terro, on Friday, last, by a band of insurgents, under Gen. Garza. To-night, upon the arrival of the steam ship Herald, the Register obtained from its correspondent at Bocas del Terro the full details of the bloody and desperate attack.

Highest of all in Leavening T3E REBELLION IN SAMOA.. Rebels Gathering in Great Porce-A Half Caste Indicted for Charging the Novelist Stevenson With Vy-Farnishlne Arms to the Kebels. . - Sah Fbaitcisco, Cal., March 14. Corre spondence of the United Press, per steamer Arawa: Apia, Samoa, Feb. 27th. The rebel party lias gathered in great force at Leulu- moega, on the Aana. They are 3,000 strong and well supplied with arms and ammuni tion. They are to meet in council to-day to determine the course to be pursued. It will doubtless be the usual programme; impos sible demands made up on King Malietoa in reference to his abdication, or a suggestion of divided authority. These being naturally declined, war will ensue without any doubt whatever. The missionaries from the out lying ; stations say that nothing is being planted and that nothing in the nature oi worK in any way is being done. A half caste named Tavlor recently cir culated a report that the late . Robert Louis Stevenson was some few months ago in some way connected with the importation and sale to Atua rebels of a auantitv of rifles and ammunition. Lloyd Os bourne, the departed novelist's steoson. in a letter to the local press, has resented this attempt to yiiiiy tne dead, and the public generally discredit the report. Tavlor has been arrested and charged with crirxunaljibel. To Reorganize New YnrkV P iUpb --it . ;- 'Prtment. Albany, N. Ym March 14. A meeting of the Lexow New York city police investi gating committee was held in the Senate Judiciary room late this afternoon The committee decided to report two New York city police bills, Senators Cantor and Brad ley dissenting. After the session Senator Lexow said it had been decided to make t he-present police commissioners themselves the reorganizing body. After Mayor Strong's regime the commissioners are to be elected. It is provided that no political organization shall nominate more than two commissioners, also that the two receiving tLemghest votes shall be declared elected and the two othe's receiving the next high est vote shall be appointed without refer ence to their party affiliations, thus giving a third party a chance. " Senator Lexow called particular attention to the changes made with a view of in creasing the efficiency of the force. The superintendent is hereafter to be known as the chief of police and is given largely ex tended powers He will have absolute con trol of all assignments and. transfers; he may suspend without pay, and no promo tion can be made except on his recommenda tion "and under civil service rules, which have already been decided upon. A Lostery Broker Arrested. W1LKE8BAEBE, Pa., March 14 A sensation was created in this city to-day when Chief of Police Briggs and a squad of officers raided the commission brokerage office of John Wurzberger and the inmates. Wurz- berger is known all over Northeastern Penn sylvania as the '"lottery king of Luzerne county," his brokerage business being only a blind. For the past fifteen years he has been selling tickets openly, and it is esti mated that he did a business of over $120,- 000 a year. Wurzberger was taken before Mayor Nichols and after a hearing, was fined $50 and held under a $500 bail for court. The police found several thousand dollars worth of tickets of all the lotteries doing business, and also lists of his regular customers, showing that bankers, doc tors, lawyers and prominent busi ness men were spending large sums monthly through Wurzberger's agency. The raid was made at the instance of the Wilkesbarre Times, the editor of the paper appearing as the prosecutor, The Times to night states that it has . proof that the late ueorge A. Looman put i,uuu m tne lottery shortly before he committed suicide, and that ex-Banker Rockafellow, now in the Eastern penitentiary, sunk thousand of dollars in lottery tickets. Wurzberger had agents m surrounding towns, and it is alleged also used the United States mails extensively in conducting his business. Investigating the Killing of the Italians. , . Denver, Col., March 14. Of the men who were killed ..near Walsenburg and in the jail there, Joseph Wellesby was an Ameri can, 23 years of age and unmarried. Seafto, killed on the road, had lately come from Italy, where he left a wife and four chil dren. He had taken out first papers. Francisco Bonchetto, killed in 3 ail, was an Italian citizen, unmarried and 30 years old. Antonio Lorenzo, killed in jail, was an Italian citizen unmarried and 25 years old. Of the others, Giaccibino and Vittar had taken out first papers. Mr. Guneo, acting Italian consul, started for Walsen burg to night, having received instruction from the Ambassador, Baron Fava. The message re ceived from the Ambassador was in Italian and the only interpretation the doctor would give was that he had instructions to start for Walsenburg at once. 1 am ready to go,' he said, "and wiu en deavor to carry out the instructions of my uovernment. 1 anticipate no trouble, ior tne effort which Governor Mclntyre has been making since the news was received from the scene of trouble is quite assuring that he has the matter under complete control.'1 Winchester Under Arms. Winchester, Va., March 14 For the second time since' the, war Winchester is practically under military control. On the 5th instant Thornton Parker, colored, was arrested for attempted criminal assault on Mrs. Melton, a respectable married lady, near Middletown, this county.' The details of the crime are disgusting. Parker, after being fully identified as the assailant, was lodged in jail here and indicted on Monday by a special grand jury and his trial set for to-morrow. Threats of lynching have been made and the negroes of this city have ex pressed their intention to rescue the negro and burn the town. Suppressed excitement and indignation have been manifest for several days, especially when the negroes paraded the town in groups on Tuesday night and were disbanded by the -police force. The . municipal officers,- therefore, decided to place the city under military pro tection to-day. Three companies, seventy five men of the Second Virginia regiment, under Col. J. C. Baker, arrived here on the 7:30 p. m. train and are virtually in charge. Everything is quiet at 8 o'clock to-night and the presence of the troops will probably prevent any further disturbance. . ..-.

The Race a Thirty Mile Triangular Course Off Cannes The James Gordon Bennett and Ogden Goelet Cup the Prize The -Ailsa Shows the lsritan hta Her Heels Prom Start to Finih In creasing the Iiead.. Cakkes, March 14. The thrice postponed race for the James Gordon Bennett and Ogden Goelet challenge cup No. 1, for all yachts over; twenty tons, was sailed to-day over the old triangular course from Cannes to a mark boat off the Island of St. Hono rat, thence to a mark off Point d'Aguille and back to the starting point, three times around. The total distance is about thirty miles. The starters were the Ailsa, the Britannia and the Corsair, and again the new boat proved her superiority over the Prince of Wales' cutter. The promenade and the yachts in the harbor were filled with eager sightseers and the interest in the race generally was greater than in any previous contest here. The French rules governed the race and according to the French measurements the Ailsa allowed the Britannia one minute and thirteen seconds, and the Corsair nineteen minutes and forty-two seconds. The wind was very light from the southwest and the sky was clear. When the boats! came up to the starting mark they carried all their head sails and jworking top sails. The Corsair was first to cross the line and head for the- St. Honorat mark. The times of starting were as fol lows: Corsair 11:00:21, Ailsa 11:00:39, Bri tannia 11:01:07. Af teftf rossing the line it was a beat of two miles to the St. Honorat mark boat. The Corsair tacked first and the Ailsa next. The Britannia kept on further and went about ten seconds after the Ailsa did. The Ailsa had drawn away from her competitors and upon reaching St. Honorat clearly showed the effect of her haviDg lessened her ballast since her previous race, in the manner in which she had gained on the light wind The times of rounding St. Honorat mark were: I Ailsa 11:32:27, Corsair 11:33:00, Bri- From the St Honorat mark it was a four miles to the Point and the Ailsa increased nnnn rnnnHino (In, - broad j reach of d'Aguille mark. her lead so that , - 1 - w ......... mc nxaxrL she was one minute and fifty -five seconds ahead of her rival, while thp Dnraxir far astern. The times of rounding this mark were: Ailsa 11:54:55, Britannia 11:56:50, Corsair 12:00:15. x From the Point d'Aguille mark the yachts had a long, leg and a reach for the club housej On this reach the Ailsaatill further increased herlead and rounded the club house mark two mirratesand one second ahead: the boats turned in this order- Ailsa 12:25:06, Britannia 12.-27:57, Qorsair 12-34 00 The Ailsa was sailing splendidly and on the second run to St . Honorat she' still further increased her lead. The mark boatCwas turned as follows: Ailsa 1:07:50, Britannia 1:11:00; Cosair 1:28:00. -T Thus the Ailsa was three minutes and ten seconds ahead of the Britannia in beginning the run home on the Eecond round. The Ailsa iwas six minutes and" thirty-three seconds ahead of the big cutter when she turned the mark boat to make 8t. Honorat for the third and last time, and continued to gain throughout the remainder of the race Tbe new boat made a splendid run to Point d'Aguille, which the boats passed as follows Ailsa 2:19:19, Britannia 2:28:34. . ! The run home from Point d'Aguille was much like the race had been throughout, the Ailsa steadily drawing away from the Britannia, and the Corsair hopelessly fall ing in the rear of the Britannia. The lead ing boats crossed the finish line thus: Ailsa 2:47:31, Britannia 3:00:44. The Ailsa, according to these figures, won by thirteen minutes, thirteen seconds, actual time, and by twelve minutes, conceding one minute and thirteen seconds to the Britannia.
