SENATOR TUUPIfi! Concludes His Speech Greater Secur'y to Sailor Against Brutality Itl 1 for a Com mission to International Monetary Con. frreuce Discussed Another Bill passed Orerjthe President's Veto- : f SENATE. J Washington, January 26. In the sen ate today a very positive denial was given by Senator Frye to the charge of labor associations that the effect of one of the bills, recently reported from the committee on commerce and passed by the senate, would be the restoration of flogging in the merchant marine. On the contrary, he asserted that its effect would be to give greater security to the sailor against the brutality of any "wicf vi r umcer at sea. Senator Turpie resumed and brought to a conclusion the speech began by and spea'k. His line of advice is that not. as was expected, attempt to pillory iRS ln future ln tne Past, to co-op-Secretary Olney for denying the right erate with all members elected as pop- or congress to recognize a new govern- " . new nation; Dut confined himself to the arromcnt that snoin had failed; and would fail, to suppress the insurreitlon, and that it was the right and duty of congress to recog nize the iniependence of the republic Between the close of Senator Turpie's speech and the close of the morning hour, there was a period of some forty minutes which was utilized by Senator Chandler in getting consideration for his bill for a commission to an inter national monetary conference. Senator White made some jocular re marks on the subject of Senator Wol cort's mission as an envoy to Europe, and intimated that it was merely an ef fort of the republican party to make the people believe that it was anxious to carry out the pledges made in the St. Louis platform in favor of interna tional bimetallism. He said there would be no objection to the passage of the bill and that the fullest chance would be given to redeem promises, buf that the attempt was doomed to certain failure. The commission, he said, if appointed, would never come home, be cause it wouia never eo abroad: and the republican party feeline that its pledges as to international bimetallism had been carried out, would proceed to relieve the people by the addition of more taxes. Senator Cannon said that he would vote for the bill although he regarded it as entirely too nebulous and lamnt ably weak In leaving to the president discretion upon a question concerning which he had (before and during the campaign) preserved the silence of the seven sleepers combined. . Notice was given by Senator Stewart of an amendment to the bill, making It the duty of the secretary of the treas ury, one month after the failure and adjournment of the commission to coin all gold and silver brought to the mint for the benefit of the depositors the silver into silver standard dollars, and the gold Into gold coin. The bill went over, with notice from Senator Chandler that- he would en deavor to have speedy action on it. The remainder of the day's session was occupied by Senator Daniel In a speech against the Nlcaraguan canal bill as being "ln fraud of the contract." The senate then went into executive session and at 5:45 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. -Another presidential veto was repudi ated by the house today. A bill to re store Jonathan Scott, a veteran of the Fifth Iowa cavalry, to , the. roll from which he r was dropped by. the bureau in 1894, at tne rate of $72 i a month for total blindness, failed to re ceive Mr. ' Cleveland's approval. Upon recommendation of the committee on invalid pensions, the house, by a vote of 137 to 52, passed the bill over the veto. Mr. Hitt reported the diplomatic and' consular appropriation bill, whiph was placed on the calendar." The rest of the day was spent in com mittee of the whole in the consideration of the Indian" appropriation bill. There remained thirty of the eighty-one pages of the bill undisposed of when the com mittee rose, and the house adjourned at 5:10 o'clock. - TO OUKK A COLD IN OE DAY Take Laxative Bromo -Quinine Tab lets.

T 3E HOT FIGHT BETWEEN THEM ' GROWS FIBItCKIl HOURLY. Bntler Attempts te Force Republicans Urciile Brtwrro the PopuliM Faetlo The Cancan Replies Ircliuln to do Pritchard Says he ill Stand by the Bo -tm-Tom ffalMil'i Opinion of Itutln . Patching op Division of Offices Kuroll Ing Cleric Swlnson in a Tight Place. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, January 26. Senator- Pritch ard arrievd here today to endeavor to reconcile the differences between the populists and republicans." -'- The populist enrolling clerk of the legislature today received the following telegram from Tom w&tson: "I thank you for your Information on. the sena torial question. Senator Butler Is a very despicable character and his crushing defeat will cause no - grief in any party." Interest in what is really the greatest fight between , Pritchard and Butler deepened hourly today. Both men are sparring for position. Butler, wan iaJa force Pritchard to decide between the majority and the minority "populists, while Pritchard wants to force Butler to draw the line between these fac tions. This is the gist of the whole matter. ' Senator Atwater, of the populist ma jority caucus, said this afternoon that the populists were demanding that the republicans should, at tonight's caucus, answer the request of the populists to know with whom they intended to co operate, and that no answer at all would be positively construed to mean the republicans favored the minority. Senator Prltchard's room was crowd ed today." All the bolting populists called on him, and they had a long con ference. A plan of campaign was quickly decided by him. He found the bolters frightened and the republicans uncertain what to do, as Butler's de mand had really rattled them. Some republicans did not like Pritchard's hurrying here at this juncture. They feared he and Governor Russell, who favors recognizing the majority popu lists, might clash. Senator Pritchard was especially in- vited to- attend the republican caucus ulists. vet it was no business of the republicans to settle the populist dif ficulties that have arisen or may arise. Some republicans say Butler would really be glad to have the republicans recognize the bolters; that he aspires to be leader of .the democrats and to unite his faction of the populists with them, but that if he made this attempt half his populists would leave him. 1 h major.ty iw pulists announce this evening' they are forty-one strong and entirely solid;" that three of their num ber, who were backsliders, have re turned, among them being Person, of Wayne. ' The republicans say If Butler would leave here they could reconcile thepop-ulists;-but Butler remains. They add that there will be a row as iong as he Is here. Pritchard gave the bolters to under stand plainly that he would see no harm came to them and would stand by them. Republicans rallied here to day to aid him, while populists came in to help Butler. - Lusk tells me a telegram from Mon roe says Judge Norwoou is nuyelc&aiy drunk there. This settles his fate. His impeachment is certain. It is learned that Representative Per son of Wayne, is a -special applicant for the superintendency of the Eastern hospital for the insaue at Goldsboro. Before the house committee on privi leges and elections John Cunningham, member from Person made an admir able speech this afternoon, urging the committee to set the case of Broughton against Young, of Wake county, for a hearing at once. He carried his point and by unanimous vote the committee decided to hear the case next Friday. The Baptist board of missions met to night and -apportioned $2,000 to mis sions." . Populist Sheriff Harrington, of Pitt, is here and says the populists in that county are disgusted with the action of the bolters in supporting Pritchard and condemn Harry Skinner most hearty. Tbe governor and Mrs. Russell left for the university this af ternon, escort ed by Professor Gore, whose guests they are . The governor makes a requisition on the governor of South Carolina for a Syrian named. Nackley Schahid, who is wanted at Wilmington for seducing a Syrian girl under promise of marriage. , A. B. Youngston, assistant grand chief of the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, delivered an address here this evening. Among today's arrivals are Chairman Clement Manly, President Chadwick, of tht AMant'c a i ICorth Carolina rail way, B. H. Griffin of Goldsboro, Ed. P. McKissick of Asheville,' W. D. Mclver of Newbern, Frank S. Spruill of Louis burg, Thep. F. Davidson of Asheville, S. F. Craig of Southport. - At the republican caucus tonight, after Senator Pritchard had spoken, a resolution, prepared under his direction, was adopted. Otho Wilson, on behalf of the populists, asked for an answer to their inquiry. The republicans sent the following: "Replying to your Inquiry as to whom we will co-operate with during the pres ent session of the general assembly, we beg to say that we have at all times co-operate with the populist party, and that we are wiling to co-operate with all the members of the general assm bly who were elected as populists and we beg to state that it is not our pror ince to : settle matters of controversy that now exist or may have arisen ln your party." This reply also contains the gist of the resolution which was-unanimously adopted. The actloVthus taken by the republicans leaves it for Senator Butler to define the status of the bolting pop ulists.

It was after 110 cf clock when the re ply already referred to was sent to the populist caucus. Some republicansf tell me the answer iven really suits (file populist majority. When asked .why (they thought this, they said that ai j the conference be tween Senator Grant and Hal. Ayer to day a sort of inforiiial plan had been ar ranged by which the populist majority ivas to take half of the offices, the othei half to be equally! divided between the republicans and thej populist voters. " It was asserted iby some of the ma jority . populists that the republicans had themselves niade this proposition for a division. i is also ascertained that at the re- lican caucus there was a lively time regarding assistant enrolling clerks. It was arranged that .the populists were to have the enrolling! clerk, and they named A. L. Swinsen. They got stuck, too, at least the majority populists say so, for Swinson turns out to be a red hot anti-Butler mari. Populist majority men say Swlnson fooled Maxwell, his senator, into minKang ne was a straignt populist. It was a Dart of! I the populist and re- publican deal thatj the assistant en rolling clerks wetje to be divided, so when the republicans named their por - HI tion they put on them W. H. Quick,! two negroes, one of r Richmond county. Swlnson refused point blank to have any negro clerks i his office. So, to night, aJ 1 committee, composed of Cook, Hancock; and Dockery, was raised to call on ; winson and notify him he must accept these clerks or stand the consequences. Swinson is in a pickle. ' The bolting; popalists conferred to night and appd.inte3 the following com mittee to confer with the republicans and see what arrangement can be made: McCaskey, Early, Brown, Bryan, Yarborough, Cariaon, Barker and Wakefield. .

The senatorial igbt and the resulting split of the pop llist forces are the causes. The repub icans have tried and are trying herolo nethods to bring the populists together. Some of the latter resent any interfer ence with themselves. When Senator Sutler was told at midnight last night -hat the republican conference Commit tee had decided not to recognize either populist faction he fairly swelled with indignation. "Recognize," . cried . he. 'Recognize. Who asked anybody to recognize. What power have the re publicans to say who are populists and who are not?" Quite a lot of populists have arrived nere during the past day or two." The statement was made this morning by ex-Chairman" Ayer that the populist caucus would not recede an inch from the position it took when it expelled cne bolters. It is learned that three of me latter, McCaskie, Fagan and Har ris of Hyde, were present ia the ma jority caucus when the resolutions of expulsion were read. . They at once left, oefore a vote was reached. . .. The bolters have from day to -"day talked of issuing an address to the pub lic but have not yet done so- ' .' - Nine convicts arrived at the peniten tiary today from Cumberland, among them Charlie Johnson, a notorious ex convict. Three convicts came in yes terday from Durham. The chamber of commerce, of: this citymet this evening to consider -the question of resumption of street car traffic here. The burning of the plant and the cars has caused a great deal of public inconvenience, and at a time too when the city is unusually full of strangers. The cold wave materialized yester day, but today though one of the "cold est of the season, was delightfully brac ing. The farmers are killing great numbers of hogs. The winter so far has been very seasonable. Legislation regarding insurance Is now becoming plentiful. The odds are against the creation of an independent department of insurance, though the republicans may take that step as a cut at Cyrus Thompson, secretary of state,- because of his aid and comfort to Senator Butler. To a republican now the name of Butler is as aggravating as the flaunting of a red flag before a bull. j This morning ln the state treasury there was a full meeting of the house finance committee to hear argument by the volunteer firemen against the bill to take away the money given the firemens' association by the insurance companies under an agreement with the state. The bill was introduced by Person of Wayne, and it is said war on account of his personal feeling aginst the chief of the Goldsboro fire department. Remarks were made be fore the committee by Martin Newman, hief of the Wilmington fire depart ment; President James D. McNeill for the white firemen and by President Valentine Howe for the. colored fire men. The committee agreed by a vote of six to four to report the bill unfav orably. The Progressive Farmer, the organ of the farmers' alliance, puts down the populists who voted for Senator Pritch ard as "republicans." Republicans deny that they are pledged to recognize these "administration populists," but say they must stand by them and see that no harm comes to them. . , Seeley, Rich and Phlpps Indicted New York, January 26. The gran3 jury today Indicted Herbert "R. .Seeley. Theodore Rich and James Phipps. The indctment charges a misdemeanor, al leging that the men conspired to pro cure people to give an indecent per formance. Mr. Seeley, was lnd'- r getting up the dinner and Mr. Rich was accused of assisting him. Phipps is the' dramatic agent that secured the per formers. The men will not be arrested, but will be notified to appear in general ses sions tomorrow and plead to the in dictment and give bail for trial. District Attorney Olcott stated that the people present at the dinner as guests are not 'egally responsible and cannot be cons; red as having violated the law. No effort will be made to se cure their indictment. - . i The Pipe Trust Case : Chattanooga, -Tenn., January 26. The taking of testimony in the United Statedgovernment vs. . the iron pipe trust, was completed today in the United States circuit court, and the hearing will be continued tomorrow.- Interest in the outcome of this suit, which was brought unaer the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890, is very widespread, as the alleged trust embraced in its member ship the six largest pipe manufacturing giants west of the Alleghenies, and arere allied. It is charged, to maintain prices by-a system of bonuses paid pro rata by the firm securing a contract to each of the other members of the pool. . - Will Not PerformMracles But It Will Cure. DH.
