Bender, In Charge of the government work, it was. learned that it will require ten to fif teen days more to finish the repairing of the New Inlet dam. ,The break oc casioned by the storm is not only being made good, but the dam is further strengthened and extended at the east end so as to extend well over on the sand reaches. About twenty-five men are on this work. The work on the Snow's Marsh- channel Jetty, also in charge of Captain Bender, is progress ing. Two thousand piles will be driv en along the west side of the present Jetty, making a close wall of piling. The 'reason for this is that it has been found difficult and expensive to keep the brush between the two -rows of piling and - that a single close row Berves the purpose 'better. The piles come from above Wilmington, all long leaf or yellow pine sticks. The steam holster. Black is used on the wor- the present lot of , 2,000 piles will be in by the last of March, but that number will not be sufficient to make the wa -solid the entire distance, now occupied by the brush.

They Carer a Bill That Will Turn Wil mington Over to the Babble. i In a circular- issued by F. B.,Rlce, chairman of the republican . county executive committee, a mass meeting of the republican voters of the city was called to meet at Ruth hall last night to consider a satisfactory and Judici ous manner in which to amend our city charter and ' recommend the same to our members of the legislature." ! In response to the call, about seven ty-five voters, all colored but two. as sembled at the hall. The meeting was called to order by County Chairman Rice who requested J. i E. Howard. secretary of the executive committee, to act as secretary. I Mr. Rice stated" the object of ' the meeting and said he had called it at the request of many republican voters He said, however, he regretted to see that it was not a representative meet ing, owing to the small attendance. He said whatever action the meeting took would be merely an expression of the sentiments of the meeting, as their action would be too late to affect any bill that could now be gotten through the legislature this late in the sessions Onj motion, E. J. Bell was' made permanent chairman of the meeting and J. E. Howard secretary. ! The chairman explained the object o' the meeting and called for a discus sion as to the wants of the voters. ; William Jordan, colored,- said he fa vored the bill which C. PJ Lockey had drawn up and forwarded to Represen tative J. T. Howe -to be introduced. The bill, he explained, provides for the election by popular vote of two alder men from each ward in the city, four aldermen at. large, the mayor, city clerk and treasurer, and the chief of police. ; -' . j. " ' ' jv Vi. : William Myers, colored said he was glad ! to see this meeting of' republi cans to protest against the action of the bosses. He denounced the bill which he said Governor Russell had introduced,, providing for the election of one alderman from each ward and the apoplntment of one alderman from each ward by the governor. He said it was -a blow at local self government and took away the rights' of the people to elect their own officers. He said: "We will not have anything to do with it. The negro is left out in the cold by this bill." The speaker was interrupted many times, and the meet- ing became so boisterous the chairman rapped for order time and again. , George itobinson, colored, got the floor and sailed into Governor Russell, and used so many cuss words that sev eral had him called to order a dozen times. He said the bosses didn't re irard the negro worth a d n. j While he was trying to speak he was inter rupted many times and bedlam ensued. Wm. H. Moore, the colored lawyer, made a plea for an orderly and decent meeting. He said' the negro had been free for thirty years and had bad school advantages sufficient to enable him to conduct a gentlemanly and in telligent meeting. George Peamon, colored, called on lawyer C. P. Lockey, to address the meeting. ' j Mr. Lockey responded in a red hot talk, and denounced the bill of the bosses to control the city. He said Wilmington had from 500 to 700 repub lican majority, but bad been democrat ic since 1877 by reason of a gerryman der of the wards by a democratic leg islature. He said he believed in local self government and wanted to see the majority rule. Two years ago, he said, there was a republican-populist legis lature, but as soon as they got to Ra legh they went to pie grabbing with the result that they' waited till the eleventh hour and then put a police board upon Wilmington and ' left a democratic board of aldermen in power. He denounced tihe police board and said it had never ben efitted he republican party, with the exception of two or three individuals! They had appointed democrats on the police force and had ignored you (the colored voters). He said the republi can voters were not consulted by the bosses two years ago as to whether they wanted this police iboardj or not, and this was the first meeting ever called to afford the voters an Opportu nity to express themselves. He said the voters were sick and tired of this treatment and demanded that ;they be heard. ' He said Chairman Rice was mistaken in saying this was not a rep resentative meeting and it was not too late to take action. He declared that the bosses would be obliged to pay attention to the demands of the voters. He said he was glad the leg islature had defeated the j bill to amend the' cfty charter. It would have kept -democrats in power too years more, and that was wh'at the powers that be at Raleigh wanted. He said he had drafted a bill and sent ft to Rep resentative J. T. Howe -- at j Raleigh with the request that he introduce it but he had not introduced it jnor an swered his letter about it. He called on the voters to 'demand their repre sentatives to heed this bill. Instead ho introduced Judge Russell's bill, to take away half . your rights. j John H. Webber, colored, told- Mr. Lockey this kick was made by white republicans wfho were disappointed in not getting ofHce. He asked Mr. Lockey what right: he had to draft a bill and dictate to the people. -He asked him if he had calledt a mass meeting to pass on his bill before it was introduced. Mr. Lockey answered no, and spoke on at length in denunciation of . tho bosses. The board of county commis sioners came in for a share of his de rision and scorn. He dubbed it a so called republican board, and said I had elected a democratic lawyer as county attorney and was practically run by him. He also declared that the chairman of the board was trying to get a board of audit composed of dem ocrats to boss the board of commis sioners. He made a long speech and stirred up his hearers .to a high pitch. At times the interruptions and ap plause drowned out his voice.- He fin ally offered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, we hold local self-government to be one of the cardinal doctrines and mudsill principles of the republi can party of North Carolina, in our Judgment no true republican should either vote or declare against any measure in harmony with said r!. trine and principle. We hold that if it is right for the majority of the qualified voters in the state to choose the governor and oth r state officers, and if it is right for the qualified voters of the county to choose the sheriff and other county officers it is equally right for the qualified voters of the city to choose the mayor and other . principal city officers. And whereas, a bill has been drawn and sent to Representative Howe; provid ing for the election of the mayor, city clerk and treasurer, chief of police and city attorney of this city, by the popu lar vote of the same, and for the elec tion of four aldermen at large by said popular vote, and we regard j1 ' as strictly republican in principle, and fair and Just, and , Whereas, said bill has not yet . been introduced in the house by said Howe, now therfore . i : Resolved, By . the republicans of Wll COLDS Munyon's Cold Cure cut es colds in, the head, colds on the lungs, old colds, new colds and obstinato colds, and all forms of grip.

The vote was taken amid confusion and the substitute overwhelmingly voted down. Mc. Lockey's resolutions were then adopted almost without a show of op position. The meeting instructed the secretary to wire the result to the representatives and senator at Raleigh. The meeeting then adjourned. Queer Talk About the Artesian Well at the Qurran tine Station. The Southportt Leader of February 25th says: ' - "The artesian well at the quarantinj station is attracting considerable at tentlon. Most of the talk has been on the quiet and considering all that has b-en said it is pow a legitimate item of news. As has been already told in The Leader, the failure of the contractor, Frank Baldwin, threw the completion of the Quarantine station into the hands of his bondsman, Wm. C Peake, Among the unfinished work was the boring of the artesian well. Mr. Peake engaged W. E. DeWitt, of Washing ton, to sink the well, and, in the em ploy of Mr. DeWUt were C. H.. Leach and Oswald Eis Watt. When the well was down' 300 feet, the depth that the contract called for, it was tested by Mr. Devereaux, the superintendent of construction, and found that the flow was inconsiderable and that the water was saline. There fore a further appropriation to sink the well 100 feet deeper was secured, and as a result water was obtained of fair quality, an analysis of which ap peared in The Leader of last week. - Upon the subject of the salt water flow that resulted in obtaining money to sink the well deeper, talk - has been going on. Mr. Leach says that he was told by Peake and DeWitt to "fix" the well at the time that it wa j down 300 feet. That he did so by flrl- Tklns-erlnsr th we'll tr toi th flow. which was in large quantity, nd that he then salted it, so that when it was tested on the 'succeeding dayt it was highly saline and unfit for use. ... Neither of the principals - are in Southport Mr. Leach is in Wilming ton. The remaintng one, Mr. 'Eisblatt, was seen and said: . "You may publish the matter if you wish to. Mr. Leach and I were tola to salt the well and we did it. A man usually does what his employer tell;! him to do. I believe there Is more than that about the well. The -piping does not reach the bottom. We put salt in the well under orders. Mr. Leach is now in Wilmington organizing a stoc) company to sink artesian wells and I am Interested with him." It is due to Messrs. Peake and. De Witt to say th?t this story of the well is not generally believed. It must be borne in mind, that these statements are made by men who themselves con fess to have done the dirty worK." March Weather for the Past Twenty-Six - Tears. -'" Weather Bureau, Wilmington, N.

Washlngton, February 25.Wlth. an apparent disregard whether the ap propriation bills, still unacted on, by the Senate, are to be passed at the present session? or. are to be deferred to the house In extra session, the senate, today by a vote of 40 to 27, laid aside the Indian appropriation bill, which had already occupied three days, and took up the Joint resolution which had been reported yesterday from the com mittee on foreign relations, demanding the ' Immediate and . unconditional re lease of Julio Sangullly from a Cuban fortress. It came up in the first in stance, as part of the morning busi ness, the vice president- deciding that, under the rules, a motion to take up the Indian appropriation bill was not in order until after the morning busi ness -was disposed of, and when at 1 o'clockp. rn., the morning hour did expire, a motion to proceed-with -the Sangullly olnt resolution rwaa made by. Senator Allen,' and, although it was resisted by the chairman' of the -committee on appropriations (Allison), and was voted against by the' chairman of the . committee on foreign . relations (Sherman), it prevailed by the vote above mentioned.:- The debate from the first was of a rather exciting character. Senator ; Allen :spoke of Spain as a "decaying monarchy, a blot on ,r the map of the world, and a disgrace to civilization." f . Senator Daniel, a member of the committee on foreign relations, went over the story of the case. Sanguilly, he said," was wounded, sick and in prison. He had been treated rigorous ly,: harshly, cruelly and brutally In a manner that was a disgrace to this century and to civilization. Not onfv that, but the ' American consul had been treated arrogantly by the Span ish authorities not only in his own person, but in his country. He had been told by a Spanish officer, high in authoritv to whom he had made a most polite and courteousappeal, that bis conduct in presenting an interven tion in favor of Saneullly. by order of the stnte depnrtment. was a disgrace to the TJniteo Stntes and to the Ameri can flaer. "Tf that oon"l." Sanao" Daniel declared, "had demanded his passport, and if the Spanish govern ment had failed to apologize for that insult to our representative and to our flag, and an American fleet had been sent to Havana to demand it, I do not believe there is! a single citizen of the United States who would not have re joiced at it." ,.' .. -Senator Hale asked Mr. Daniel wheth er the purport of the Joint resolution was the release! of .Sangullly. "That is the purport of it," Senator Daniel admitted. Senator Hale Has not this whole matter been the subject of direct diplo matic negotiation between the state de partment and the Spanish government for the purpose of securing the release of Sangullly? If so, will the senator state what has been the result? Is it not a fact that at the present moment the state department has conducted the negotiation ; to the point that it is expecting the 1 release of Sangnilly within a few days?" Before Senator Daniel had time to answer the question; Mr. Lodge cross ed the area, and made a whispered suggestion to him, and then Senator Daniel replied j that he had no such knowledge.- Senator Hale Has there been no communication f from the . secretary of state to the committee on foreign rela tions stating that he is expecting that Sanguilly will be released, through the ordinary efforts of diplomacy within a few days? "Not within my knowledge," Senator Daniel replied; and Senator Lodge also added his negation. Senator Hale I ask the' senator, and I ask the senator from Ohio, (Sher man), whether he has not a letter on that subject from the state department- ! Senator Daniel I must decline furnishing information which can be easily got at the state department. Senator Hale But the senator will recollect that the committee on foreign relations is the organ of this body.' Senator Daniel I am not bound ' to yield my time on the floor on that ac count. I am the organ of the state which I am representing; and when I get through, I will yield to any organ that may desire to be heard, whether it be the organ of the captain general of Cuba, of of the Queen of Spain, or any one else. - - When a laugh followed this pointed allusion. Senator Daniel promptly dis claimed meaning anything offensive. Senator Hale I could say something offensive if I wanted to, but I will not do so. f - Senator Daniel I cpuld not, even if I desired to. Senator Hale I ; hppe that, before the discussion.; ends, (and it will not end in one or two hours, or in one. or two days), the committtee on foreign relations will put the. senate in pos session of what the state department is doing in the way of the release of Sangullly, if that be the object of the Joint resolution. Senator Daniel The state depart ment has been dealing with this mat ter diplomatically for two years; and two years is long enough for this gov ernment to get a United States citizen out of prison. ' When senator Hale read a telegram from Havana, stating that Sanguilly's appeal to Madrid had been withdrawn so as to facilitate his release, his col league (Frye) ! denounced - that with drawal as a"Wlcked and unjust act on the part of Sanguilly's counsel and de clared (with an accompaniment of ap plause from the galleries) that if he had his way a ship of war would start forthwith for Havana . , Senator Hale regarded that outburst as telling the whole .story. What his colleague .and ' other ; senators - wanted was war; but the. country' would not be drawn Into war In the next seven days if he (Hale) could help it Senator Hoar showed from the com mittee's own report that Sanguilly had been only two months, Insteadof five years, in the United States when he got his naturalization papers; had then left the country and had never returned since, having lived in Cuba for, the last eighteen years: that the naturalization papers were fraudulent, and that Sangullly was no more an American citizen than' Senator; Daniel was a subject of Turkey. Senators Lodge and Daniel 'denied th right of the senate to go between the record of the superior court of New Yorw from which the papers had been issued. - ! . ;" " . Senator Teller characterized the con duct of the state department as "pusi lanimous", and said that he expeeted nothing better from the next adminis tration. He declared that he would make every power in the world respect American citizens if it shoufd take all the money, all the ships and, all the men that the country had. When Senator Teller finished his re marks Senator Allen ; alluded to the fact that the discussion had been going on for the last hour on the Indian ap propriation bill, and he moved that the bill be laid aside- and that the San guilly resolution be again taken up. The motion was agreed to yeas, 40;, nays 27, i j " , Allusions by Senators Hill and White to the inconsistency of Senator Sher man in having the Joint resolution re ported yesterday, and expressing the hope that the senate would pass it to day and then' voting today i against taking it tip, brought Senator Sherman to his feet. He said: t "The senator from California gems to desire to drag me into the i debate, although I do not care to enter upon it. I am in favor of the pending Joint reso lution, and I think it ought to com mand the unanimous approval of the senate.. I believe that gross injustice almost barbarous injustice, has - been done to a naturalized citizen of the United States who has a. right to. pro tection from the -president; - I am -not in favor of passing this resolution at this moment. : But as it stands In th.e way of appropriation bills, I have io voted and will bo vote again. I trust that . after the debate has gone on a while the senate will see clearly the necessity of taking up the appropriation bills and passing them- I do not, think there is any , inconsistency in tnat. x hope that senators who are opposed to the resolution will not stand in the way of a vote. It is great injustice to say that we who are in favor of the resolution are opposed to the passage of the! appropriation bills. I intend to stand by the committee on appropria tions from this day to the end of . the session; but that shall not prevent me from doing what I think is right in be half of the policy of the United States to protect its citizens agains unlawful and insolent treatment. I trust - the time will never come when an -American citizen can be wronged or perse cuted by any power, great or small. That is the way I feel; now. I am in favor of protecting this American citi zen, though he is a naturalized citizen. I am opposed to wrong and violence and. tyranny wherever it is exercised, and when it is exercised against an American citizen I will stand up for him. even if I am alone." The house bill to amend the act as to the appointment of receivers of nation al banks was taken from the calendar and passed without amendment. - At 6i o'clock a recess was taken until 8 o'clock p. m. HOUsIe OF REPRESENTATIVES. By a vote of 144 to 46, the house, after two hours', debate, passed the bill of Mr.! Johnson, of Indiana, authorizing national banks to take out circulation to the1 par value of bonds deposited to secure it, an increase of 10 per cent, over the limit now allowed. - Early in the -session the. Wll was passed to confer upon postofflce in spectors in the enforcement of the pos tal laws the same powers as are pos sessed by marshals and sheriffs In the several states. "'. The resolution agreed upon today by the. committee on foreign affairs, call ing on the president : for the corre spondence -relatiner to the arrest and punishment of American citizens by the Spanish authorities In Cuba was presented by Mr. Hltt and agreed to.

(Correspondence of The Messenger.) j Fayetteville. .February 25. Not -to the strains of Mendellsohn or the peal of bells, but in the fireside light ana quiet atmosphere of home, were celebrated last evening two beautiful marriages. At 8 o'clock, at the residence of the parents of the bride, Mr. O. B. Wight- man, of the firm of E. B. Cuthbred & Co., a grand nephew of the lamented Bishop Wightman for years a tower of strength of the Southern Methodist church was united to Miss Isabel, daughter of Colonel J.. A. Pemberton, one of the- leading insurance men of the state. Rev. I. W. Hughes.rector of St. John's church, very Impressively rendering the beautiful ceremony. Very tasteful were the decorations of the handsome parlor, and the number and value of the 'presents attested the good wishes of the large circle of friends of the wedded couple. A collation was served to the guests, who consisted al most solely of the relatives of the con tracting parties. Mr. A. S. Wightman was best man, and winsome little Alexlhe HarreU was the pretty, flower girl, i Major W. F. Campbell, a former com mandant of the Fayetteville Indepen dent Light Infantry, and a leadliyr and influential democrats of this section, was wedded last evening at . 9 o'clock at the, residence of her sister, Mrs. Or rell, t Miss Loula, the lovely daughter of the late Edwin Glover. Rev. I. W. Hughes officiating and Mr. Fred' Glover giving! the bride away, who formed the central figure or a beauurui picture; her gown white silk trimmed in pearl. and the room elaborately embellished In green and white. The wedding gifts were numerous and valuable. i The I residence, of Mr. and, Mrs. John C. Haigh, was the scene, last evening, of a delightful gathering of friends giving eclat to the society de but, or (in old-fashioned parlance, which is better) "coming out" of their charming daughter. Miss Maud. This evening Mr. and Mrs J. J. Cros- well hold a reception at their residence on Masonic square, complimentary to their guests, Misses Crosswell, of Wil mington, and Mills, of Greenville, S. C. The! passage of the no-fence law for Cross Creek gives general satisfaction With its great extent of territory: and spacious yards and gardens, no town could be benefited more by such a measure. . If the police bill be finally killed,! Fayetteville owes much to Major Hale, chairman, and his committee. . Miss Annie Taylor, of Wilmington, returns home today, leaving many ad mirers here. At the target shooting Monday, Maj or E. L. Pemberton won the medal (of course). Captain Garrison is better today. Death of Col. W. 8. Frldgen, The Pender Star of yesterday says: This! esteemed citizen died at his home i in the Cain tuck section on Fri day last. He was about 80 years of age. It . pains us to note the loss of such a man. He was an old timed gentleman ripe in experience and looked up to by all who knew Qiim. His innuencfl was always on the side of right, and his record as a quiet God fearing citi zen was that of an honest man and patriot. Before the war -he was prominent in the affairs of New Hanover county, and during the turbulent times of the war he was true- to his people and to his country as the needle is to the pole. Business transactions with him during the past twenty years Justify our high esteem of his unsullied honesty . and purity of character. His example in life is his monument. SPECIAL NOTICES.
