I- believe I am com mander of the situation. I can name myself senator by any co-operation I want to make, but, under the present conditions, by reason of foririer alli ances, I say I would not accept "or sup port dny "other populist, because by this action I believe I am serving best the' interests of my party in maintaining its Jlbnor, Integrity and good faith. I believe I am sustained Toy the unani mous repubfican party, by an over whelming majority of the populists and by all self respecting democrats who do not desire to play party tactics in order to destroy the populist forces of the state,- No national influences brought to l bear upon me can move me. j I met Wardell today arid he said he appreciated the fact that successful co-operation of . popu- lists knd republicans had been effected in North Carolina.

Committeeman Wardell arrived today in response to a call from Butler. This has made the bolting populists angrier, and they are urged on by re publicans who have all the w;hile back ed them.

At the meeting of the electoral col lege, all the ! electors present. R. B. Davis presided and thanked the senate for the use of its ' hall. C. R. Thomas nominated W. J. Bryan for president. Speeches seconding the nomination were made by all other electors save the chairman. The -speech of Klutta was ia-gem and was the finest of all. Applause was almost continuous. He said: "I had rather be Bryan defeat ed than McKinley elected.." Dr. York alluded to . his 22-year-old mule General Jackson, and said h brayed "Free Silver, Free Silver, Free Silver." ( Great lauehter.) Dr. York 'ridiculed the McKinley "Wave of Proa .ferity," and: said .it had" not reached North , Carolina, Eleven votes were then past for Bryan.

The first thing done was to dis- i j cusS the resolution offered by Mr. Par JfLor, of Perquimans, which was nnauy firithirawn, it being too, cumbersome", Several others were offered, ' but with drawn. an4 finally the following was adopted as the sense of the caucus: t? solved. That we inform J. W.

Remarks were made A? 8- ftifci D. Reid Parker and Gyl Tfrimpsoa a the line of conciliation; and all the I members of the caucus spoke. Interest was Intense;' MeCoskey says he never saw greater. The interest-manifested showed that most of this minority are Pritchard. men to the core. MeCoskey says he subordinates Pritchard and everything else to harmony, if it comes to this pass. He further says that the odds are very greatly in Pritohard's favor. He admits that if a- return to 'the main caucus is made and: a straight, high class populist Is nomi nated, some of the minority would in such case possibly desert Pritchard. There are signs late tonight of a re publican revolt against Pritchard. It must be , small, and possibly affects only two or three. Senator Butler is better and will be up tomorrow. The plan of the minority of the populists tonight is a bold one. Jf successful it gives them control of the patronage in the state. ; Governor Russell's staff will be an nounced tomorrow, "only one is knoiri, Lybrook, of Winston, aid-de-camp.

Then Dr. Parker with the resolution of -the minority appeared. It was by this time very late and the committee com posed of Clarke, Dixon and Whitener, was appointed to confer with the bolt-- ers' committee. The caucus also ap pointed a-committee to draft a reply to the bolters' resolution and this com mittee will report -at 9 o'clock tomor row morning. . - At 'midnight Senator Butler was ask ed he pointed question whether Pritchard or Skinner could be elected. and replied: "Pritchard can't beat and it is lextremely doubtful whether Skin ner is as strong as Pritchard." I (By Southern Press.) Raleigh, N. C, January 11. There has been no new move in the senatorial contest since the bolt of the Pritchard popuilists last Friday "night, except Senator Butler's, attempt to get a full meeting of all the populists, bolters in cluded, baturday afternoon at which meeting the bolters failed to material ize and not enough of the others as sembled to make a quorum, and in con sequence no "action was taken. The populists that walked out of the caucus firmly stand by Pritchard nineteen of them. ' ' . The Tribune will say tomorrow through its Washington correspondent mat I mere is a move on the Dart of the democrats to import influential . popu lists j or jdemocratlc-populists to wean back the bolters. , Money is said to be Dehind the scheme, but from the char acter of the men who bolted there is no hope for the democrat-populists.

The president of the senate to whom last thp mntlnn was addrAad. refprrm. tha Thursday declaring the expediency of the indeDendence of the re public of Cuba and appropriating $10,000 for the salary of a minister to the new republic. Much of his speech was argumenta tive, and was supported by precedents in the cases of the Spanish-American republics arid of the repubjicof Texas; but the principal part of it and that which attracted the greatest attenion was in severe criticism of the president and the secretary of state and in angry denunciation of the Italian and Spanish statemen wno venturea 10 sussrai ... interference by European powers witn the government of the United Ptates, in case of the recognition of Cuba. in the course of his invective he described Italv as a power whose symbol or greatness was a monkey and an . organ rinder. Several other senators tooK nart in the discussion, but only - the question of the exclusive power of the r resident to recognize ioicikh 'wua. Senator Mills began his speech on the Cuban matter at 1:30 o'clock m., with thirteen democratic senators ana ciir -rprmblirans In their seP". He spoke without notes, in the high keyed voice natural to him ana wnicn u is so difficult to' maintain in a long-continued address. The public galleries were about half filled. At tne outset senator muis the position assumed oy rrwiucm Cleveland In his annual messaee on the Cuban question, and when interrupted bv Senator Gray, democrat, of Dela ware, who asked wnence tne senator derived one particularly pungent ex tra rt he was readinsr. Senator Mills answered that he was reading from the message .of President Monroe. , Senator Mills had numerous dooks spread out on the two desks he occu pied 'for the time being. He drew into . i a . TI w. . ntaw - An drew Jackson and made a noint on the rpcnenition of the independence r "Vt as wnose representative x "i in said, but immedlatly corrected himself by "adding: "One of whose representa tives I have the honor te be." rie .s erted with much emohasis. after read ing an extract from President Jackson's message on the Texas question, mat the power to recognize foreien govern ments was ln the province of congress and did not rest with the executive. To' this Senator Gray retorted by reading the concluding sentence of An drew Jackson's message, which saidf that, while he thought expediency might vest the matter in congress he did not express any opinion on the subject. Senator Hp'- republican, of Maine, then came into the discussion with a number of questions interjected into Senator Mills' speech, to which he sub mitted with good grace for. a time, but Anally asked Senator Hale n wait "an hour or so" till he got to the end speech and then to answer him in toto. Senator Hale promised not to inter rupt further, but within five minutes propounded from his seat three or four more questions which went . far to break up the continuity- of Senator Mills' argument. Senator Mills quoted the action of congress in in regard to the French intervention in Mexico, when coneress, by a vote of 126 to 86 practically admin istered a reproof to those great states men so dear to the- republican heart, Abraham . Lincoln and Will'am H. ceward ar-d asserted that congress ad the constitutional risrht of recosmlzing foreign governments.but that the time and method of so doing belonged to the executive department. He 'i a lausrh on - the- floor among democrats and republicans alike by saying that among those who voted for this reso lution were Senator Morrill, of Ver mont, the Nester of the senate and Senator Allison, of Iowa, who. accord ing to newspaper report, was to be the next secertary of state and no more capable man could be found on the re publican side. p - Warming up as he approached the ,nd' of his remarks. Senator Mills said, with much bitterness of tone, he did not envjr' Mr. ' Cleveland the compli ments he Was 'receiving from Castelar and Weyler and at the same time these officials were denouncing the snte and house of representatives of the United States. Senator Milip repudiated with horror and indignation the statement of the president that the people of the United Ptatps looked with admiration upon the "fforts made by Spain to suppress the Cuban insurgents, and said that if he bad the power he would send the id fleets of the United States to prevent the butchery of American newspaper correspondents and American citizens. Tf it were not for the gamblers of the "tock exchange it might be -ossible for the government of the United . states to show some virility. God Kr he said passionately, that the day may ime sometime when the people f the United States will be relieved ttia hakles of the mercantile spirit and will compel all th people of this earth to respect the rights of its citizens. Senator Hale, republican of Maine, eloped the di-icusston by saying that the whole question, so grave and f-'tical. would come before the senate sooner or later when the resolution of Rptor Cameron, reported from the foreign re intioTis committee, came up for action. TTptil that time h declined to answer th" senator from Texas (Mills). Senator Mills' resolution went over without action. Senator Bacon, of t YTtrTtiaet Af all In f . , j-cvciung otrengtn.

Messenger Bureau, Park Hotel. Raleigh, N. C., Janury 11. Senator , Butler today Introduced a iew plan in the senatorial fight Iri an swer to tejegrams from him Senator Cannon anti Wardell, ofUCaliforhia, oi the national populist committee, and Congressman Stroud arrvejd here, j Senator Butler said to ime this . morn ing: 'T am absolutely tonfldent that the efforts to elect Pritchard senator will be unsuccessful regardless of what may be said to the contrary." S Congressman . Skinner keeps up the fight against Butler; and for Pritchard. This morninlg he said to-me, when ask- jed what he thought of' the appearance on the scene of Cannon, Warden and Sjtrowd: "I know I have at my back a"" majority of the national populist committee. Representatives Howard and Goodwin; of Alabama, Tom Wat son, of Georgia, and other promineni populist leaders are with me and sa are the great majority of the North bear the power of DODUlists from differ ent states tb assist me. I think Butler has weakened his case by calling 0:1 outside assistance. I know he is weak ening. I propose to whip In this fighi without any outside aid." He read a letter from Populist County Chairman jjong, or .rut, DacKing mm. Representative White, i of the legis lature, said this moraine: "When jPrit chard was shaky as to his re-elec tion (some time ago) I always believed Jhe would win. Once the past week ' 1 weakened, but now I am sure he will win. A popUlist who is in the Butlet caucus told! me he was for. Pritchard MnA 1 belieyfe others who are now of the populist iriajorlty caucus are of like mind. I know and Senator Pritch ard knows absolutely that the nineteen populists who bolted are for Pritch- ; 'ard, .- ' ! The Butler populists are made quit angry by an editorial in The Tribune. ine new rt-yuuuean paper, wmco strikes at them as aiders of the demo- . crats. I , State Auditor Furman today furnish- I ed State Treasurer Worth, for the lat ter's use and the use -;Of the finance committees I of the legislature, an ab !stract of listed taxables for 1896, on which the 1S97-8 taxes must be based. The valuation of real estate and per sonal property in 1895 was $230,861,131, and for 1896 $229,834,996; a decrease of $1,121,135. The railway taxes for 1896 are $26,576,096. The total is therefore $256,316,092, kgainst $257,437,227 for 1895. One cent on the $100 valuation will ; raise $25,631161, less cost of collection, and $225,000 .yearly may be expected from schedvile B and C taxes and oth- ! er privilege taxes, leaving $625,000! to De raised from property listed for j taxa4 tion. The auditor says a levy of 25 cents on the $100 will raise this, amount. ' Among today's arrivals were George M. Rose, Pt ul B. Means, T. B. Keogn. W. L. Lidddll, W. J. oocke, W. C. Max- -, well. ( Marshall jMot wants, the senatorship. This is today declared to be the case. Senator Pritchard said this morning: "The situation is all I could ask." Sen ator Butlerj said: "I am absolutely steadfast and confident of ultimate -triumph." ! Republicans are. cursing Butler. They j swear they will never vote, for any : man Butler names for senator. Members (of the minority of j the pop ulists (the bolters) say "We control the situation." j i ,1 Skinner says the bolters will not go back to thel populist caucus; that their members will increase to twenty-three. A republican added: "Yes, we will have in all twenty-seven populist votes for Pritchard." The Butler populists believe the mi nority of their party has planned to divide the patronage with the republi cans and lieave the Butlerites out in the cold; orj that else they will demand to be allowed to name the senator and in that case will put up Skinner. It seems jthat the populists are split forever. If jthe bolters go back to the caucus, it is said they will conjure up some pretext for leaving it again. The republicans are hinting that It is Butler's purpose to go to the demo crats; that he is pow dickering with fhe latter. The rumor that some democrats will vote for Pritchard is denied positively. All the democrats attended their party caucuses. I The populist bolters are now termed "assistant republicans" by some of their partyL j The bolters declare today that they had no caucus Saturday that Dr. Cy, Thompson called on them that after noon; that! they discussed the 4iffer ences and ! expressed the hope that these would be adjusted.' - !
