TWO IMPORTANT CASES ARcftjED BEFORE JUDGE ADAMS IN CHAMBERS. On. a Salt by the Governor to Compel the Auditor to Change the Poll Tax Clause of the Revenue Act-. The Other the Asy lum Beards Contention Ralelgh'sires for the Year Person Not Listing Income Tax Defects In the Revenue Act Mr I .McBee Editor of the Churchman. -. - Messenger Bureau, Park Hote , f . Raleigh, N. C, April 10. Two interesting cases were argu d at chambers here ) today before J ldge Adams, of the' Superior court, in the isupreme court room. One was a nan damus case in which Governor Russell seeks to make State Auditor Ayerj put in the printed tax lists blanks $1.; 8 as the rate of poll taxj thus correcting the error in the revenue act, wjhlch gave 46 cents as the property tax and $1.29 as the poll tax; whereas, the con stitution requires the poll to be thrice the property tax. The other case was in regard to pos session of the three hospitals for the Insane. The present incumbents, j rep resented bv a number of attorneys, declare the new law to be tinconstltuT tional and merely a "grab" at the 'hos pitals. Of course, this case, like the one, above referred to, goes to- the su preme court for final settlement. ( The annual report to the board of al dermen shows that during ' the 'year ending March 31st there were thirty eight alarms of fire here. The total loss was $58,000; insurance $53,500. An effort Is to be made to secure an issue of street Improvement bonds for Raleigh, .the money to be used in ma cadamizing streets. t . The state auditor says that the in come tax is not given in in perhaps a majority of cases. This is so in many counties. Gaston is an example of this. O nly three men in that county gave in incomes of over $1,000, j and among hese Is not one of the county officials. The auditor does not know how to secure this tax. ' - . i The revenue act has arrived for the I "M 1 1 J r nrintaru Tha ailHltn. oava it- la I pbulic printers. The auditor says It Is, as it has always been, without classi fication and without machinery for its proper enforcement. He remarks that it was "always the meanest in the United States." It is ascertained that, as compared with last year, there is "an increase in the number of mortgages in this county. The . big cotton crop which is sure to be' planted is, perhaps, a chief cause of the increase. Mr. Silas McBee, who for years has devoted himself to Episcopal church work in this state, now becomes editor of The Churchman, New York city.

Some of the people of Monroe appear to be up In arms , concerning the one there. There is a .whisper about a plan to have the railway commission increase the .assessment of the North Carolina railway to perhaps $4,000,000. , The republicans and, populists in this city had a conference last night and decided to indorse Frank Stronach, in dependent, as a candidate for mayor, against William M: Ruse. A LIVELY DAY IN THE HOUSE. Havieg Nothing to Do, the Members Have a Political Discussion Mr. Simpson At' tacks the Speaker, and Mr. Bailey Criti cises the Pledges of the Republican Party Washington, April 10. The house could not J resist the temptation to in dulge In political dte'bate today, as it had no business on hand. Interest was fooussed upon Mr. SumpsOn, or Kansas, who had announced a deter mination to obstruct to any legislation attempted without the presence of ia quorum. His policy was frustrated be cause the quorum appeared. ' Mr. Simpson found an opportunity, Wow- ever, to reiterate his denunciation of a concentration of power in the speak er's hands. Mr. IMngley declared the republican policy to be to do nothing but enact the tariff and left over ex propriation bills this session. Mr. Bai ' ley, the democratic leader, favored giv ing the republicans a free hand. ' :. In the course of a discussion on' the business before the house, Mr. Dingley salid that the session was called for a '. specific purpose, to provide sufficient revenue to carry on the government. The house had acted on that sugges tion. As the committees had not 'been appointed there seemed nothing else to do. "W are not inclined to insist upon the' republican party legislating, ' said Mr, Bajley. "We feel that the country suffers when the republican party leg islates. We have contended this all our lives and we sincerely believe, it. We have no desire to urge the repub lican party to make laws, -"but we -de? sire to understand their policy." ; i Mr. Simpson said the country was Remanding financial legislation and the republican party should be given a 'ehanea o Showwhat It could do- and should nt eit iMly for "two or th'reo months. H then repeated his recent attack upon the speaker's power, de claring that the mebers of fhe house by giving htan autocratle power, dis franchised the constituents who; fcad elected, them. "; , 'After Mr. Simpson naa suosiaea tne house drifted into a somewhat perfunc tory ooiitical discussion. The - debate f b democrats was concluded by Mr.Bailey, ..Hie ?a4d t.ne republlcapn had declared before Jhe election that, the "country needed only the restoration of confidence-Which the return of the republican party to power wOuld bring. If they succeed In restor ing prosperity tJhe democratic, party might as well 'make no nominations for the next election. If the republi os failed they might as well make no noBiiaations. He was so confident that they iwwld fail that he wanted to give them eveary opportunity to de monstrate what they fould do.

THE ASYLUM CASES. The Arguments Heard by Judge Adams. A 8ynopsls;of the Complaint and Answer, and of the Pleading of Counsel on Both Sides. ' . .'. : (Special to The Messenger.) j Raleigh, N. C, April lO.-Ujudge Ad ftms guve notice this afternoon that at midnight lie would end yie bearing of the insane hospital . cases. There were speeches ".this afternoon and at 8!30 o'clock argument was resumed. ! . C. B. Aycook, specially sunirraarizecl for your correspondent contention of the defense and J. C. (L. Harris summar ized the contention Of Che. plaintiff si Plaintiffs contend that the offices in Question are statutory, absolute crea tions of the legislature as- contradtefcln- gnushed from such offices as those lof governor and. state offices, judge and solicitors, which are mentioned in. the constitution. The latter are beyond control of the legislature. The terms of an officer cannot be shortened or their salaries reduced by the : legislature. The former may be aboWahed, terms shortened, salaries reduced, and duties may t pe diminished. Three corpora-, tions created by the ialst general as sembly are public corporations entirer ly. No .private Individual or private rporation has any Interest "in the business or 'management of these cor porations. No contractual relations ex ist between them and the state, and, therefore, the legislature has the right to repeal the charters whenever it sees fit to do so. Any person who accepts office under One of these public corpor ations takes It with full notice of the power of the legislature to repeal the charters, abolish the offices, reduce the salaries, and diminsh the duties of the offices. The office of superintendent Is abolished in so many words, and the contention of the defendants that the repeal of the charter Is but a reaffirm ance of1 the former charter because the act re-enacts certain sections of the former chanter as found In volume 2 of The Code, Is wlthouit force because there Is a change of duties of the prin ; 1 : ,3 . i I i lj. cipal and resident physician as he is known under the new charter; ; a change of term of office from six to four years; a change of term of trustees from two, four and six years, and three classes, to one class with a term of four years. These . changes show clearly the motives -of the legislature repealing the charters and these changes show that the act of the last legislature Is"absolutely repugnant to the, former charter, and this fact would work a repeal by implication were not a repeal made. In so many words; so that there Is no foundation for. the contention of the defendants that there is no repeal of the former charter, hut simply a reaffirmance of the former law and that the' repealing act endeav ors to transfer the offices to another without abolishing the office, because the former charter is repealed in erms and the 'offices of superintendehtt 1 is abolished inso many words. Befendants contend that repealing the charter and abolishing: the super- intendency is not in fact a repeal be cause, in the same act the old law is substantially re-enacted. The new act differs from the old law only in tlhe change of name of the several Institu tions arid their respective officers, if "that much, while retaining all their right, powers, privileges, duties and functions.. For this position the de fendants; rely -upon the cases of the- State vs. Sutton, 100 N. C. R., State vs. Williams, 107 N. C R., and State vs. Baldwin, 45 Conn., and a great array of other au'thorities. Defendants . furtheu contend they are in under a contract vfalid and binding upon, the legislature iThey admit the power of the legisla ture to abolJsh. useless and unnecessary offices They deny, however, the pow er of the legislature to change the name of the office merely and . leaving all of Its positlone intact to transfer that office from one "man to another. For this -contention they cite Hoke vs. Henderson, 4 DeVereux and every caso 'decided by the supreme court of North Carolina since that year (1833). Defend ants saV-4here is nothing In the con tentlon that these a-r statutory and not cOnetitu tional offices, 'because, they are as i much oonstftutional offices as 1 "was the office of clerk of the superior ?and county court, which was the subject in controversy In Hoke vs. . Henderson, wherein the great principle was estab lished in North Carolina that an office cannot be taken from one , person and given . to another while the office and "term ; exist. Defendants futher con tend, that tthe offices of principal and resident physician and trustees are the same as supermtendent and directors, they having the same fypctions and dtfties, citing Nichols vs. McKee, 68 iN, C R. People vs.'Raymond, 37 N. Y.,and other authorities; that even conceding that these were legislative offices, yet the right held under the legislative grant Is as Inviolable as aconstitutlonal one, again cijin'g Hoke vs. Henderson. They , admit the power ;of the legisla ture to repeal i the; charter and thus to destroy the Instlta'tloa and to ahoj ish the offices of superintendent r di rectors and thus pipt '$a.ea. toi their taniire, h't they jpeoy the legislature has the right or gowep fo ' leave (the offices In. existence and transfer Tthem from the. presen.

Voorhees Passes Away at His Washington City Residence His Death, Though Apprehended, Came Sud denly to Anxious Frlends-An Kventful Life Closed For Nearly Half a Century m Prominent Figure in National Politics. Washington, April 10. Daniel Wolsey Voorhees, ex-Uhlted States senator from the state of Indiana, 7 died at 6 o'clock this morning at his home in this city, No. 105 Maryland avenue, -N. E. The senator had been in poor health for several years, and for at least two years had taken little part in the pro ceedings in the senate. He had been a constant sufferer from rheumatism of the heart and his friends, therefore. had come td. expect that ' they might hear of his death suddenly. The last reports of him, however, were that he was showing some signs of improve ment, and his death, therefore, while not entirely unexpected, came with the suddenness of, a shock. Mr. Voorhees' death -was caused by an attack of angina pectoris.; .The sen-- a tor's health was so poor, during the recent political campaign that he could not participate in it, but after his re turn to Washington In November he seemed to improve in health. ' Two weeks ago the old rheumatic troubles returned and three days ago they be came even more alarming, but the sen ator still did not confine himself to his bed. and his family felt no immediate alarm. It was not, indeed, until half ah hour before the final summons came that anyone realized that death was near, The senator's son, Reese N. Voorhees, had remained in the room with his father during the night and was awak ened about 4 o'clock this morning by his father, who was then suffering great pain in the region of the heart. He refused, however, to allow a physi cian to be called, saying that the pain would pass away. Half an hour later he. appeared much better and got out of bed to walk to the bath room, his son being with him. When they en tered the hallway the senator was at- attacked by a more severe spasm than he had yet experiencd and fell in a semi-conscious condition into his son's arms. The latter carried the now dy ing man back to his bed and sum moned Dr. Shoup, a neighboring phy sician. It was too late, however, for any aid to be of avail, and the ex-senator passed away without regaining full consciousness. Only his son Reese, his daughter. Miss Hallie Voorhees, and the physican were present when he died. The remains will be taken to Terre Haute, Ind., the senator's home for so many years, for Interment, but just when is not yet determined. When the news of Senator Voorhees death became known at the capitol to day expressions of deep sorrow were heard. The senator had been so long in public life that he was known to every employe about the building, and all felt an affectionate regard for him because of his uniformly, kindly treat ment of them. v Senator Voorhees was 70 years of age last September, and prior to his re tirement from public life on March 4th last had been for many years one of the most picturesque figures in he sen ate. He was born in Liberty town ship, Ohio, and in his earlv infancy was carried by his parents to their pioneer "home in the Wabash valley in Indiana. . In 1848 he graduated from the Indiana Asbury (now Depauw) uni versity, . and, studying law, begun Its practice in 1851. His first public office was entered upon In 1858, since which time he has been almost continuously in the public service. That office was United States district attorney for In diana. His congressional career began In 1861. He served In the house of rep resentatives for five terms. In hls au tobiography he said that he was de feated for the Forty-third congress only by the nomination of Greeley, on his, the democratic ticket He came into the senate in 1877 by appointment to fill; the vacancy caused by the death of Oliver P. Morton, and because .of his - long experience in the house, was assigned immediately to the -finance committee, a very unusual honor In the case of a new' senator. He retained his connection with that committee, being its . chairman during the last demo cratic era In that body, and was a lead ing figure in all debates Involving ques tions of finance or tariff. In appearance Senator Voorhees was one of the most striking figures in the senate. He was familiarly known, as the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash," by reason of his large and magnificently proportioned figure. As an orator he had few peers, commanding a magnifi cent vocabulary and imbuing his utter ances with a degree of earnestness and feeling that strangely Influenced his auditors.

AMOUNTS ALMOST TO AS ACTUAL DECLARATION OP WAR. The Turks Anxious for an Excuse to Ad . vance Upon the Greek Frontier loday the Anniversary of the Turkish Massacio of Greeks of Sclo Greeks Surprised at Turkey's Formidable Array on the Fron. tier Preparations for Qneen Tlctorla'S Jubilee. ; 1 r-; .-- (Copyrrght by the Associated Press.) London, April 10.-Short of an actual declaration otf war between Greece and Turkey, the situation could not possi bly be graver than it Is. Tomorrow is the seventy-fifth anniversary of a day the Greeks have only too great cause to remember with horror the massacro by the Turks of 40,000 of the Inhabi tants of the island of Scio, during the war of Independence. The memory of this, in connection with Che little the powers have done by their vaunted concert, is not likely to put the Greeks In the hu mor to withdraw, now, even though King George and his ministers are sur- prised at the Immense army Turkey has unexpectedly put upon the fron tier, well armed and organized, in spite of her supposed want of resources, and may foresee the futility Of fighting Tur key If the nowers are determined,; as they threaten, that neither combatant shall get advantage therefrom. Wheth er once the real fighting commences, the powers will be able to execute their threat is a question of the future. The danger of the situation is the fact that Turkey is undoubtedly anxious to give the Greeks a lesson and has only thus far been prevented from so doing by the influence of the powers. The orders which Edham. Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief, received from Constantinople when the Invasion became known were to speedily ascer tain whether any soldiers of the regu lar army were among the insurgents who crossed the frontier. Telegrams conflict upon this point; but it may be supposed that Edham Pasha will not stop to inquire too carefully if there are, as suspected, Greek Officers among them. The country around Kranxa and Grevena is very fertile, well : wooded and watered and crossed by narrow roads or bridle paths, where it Is im possible to move large bodies of troops, but extremely favorable : to guerilla warfare. The Turks , have an entire division of infantry, cavalry and artil lery at Ore vena, under the command of Hakki Pasha. Their positions are much stronger than those of the Greeks opposite and it is believed it will tax Prince Oonstantin to the utmost to preven t dome portion of his troops from flying' to the help of their compatri ots. . : - f . Interest in Crete itself will now lapsev and should war break out the Greek fleet will immediately proceed to at tack the Turkish Islands. The war ships of the European fleets already there will hardly sufflbe to prevent the Greeks- from taking action. - - An ominous rumor, received in Lon don today, is that the Duke of York who is a captain in the royal navy, is to Join the British channel' squadron, after leaving Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-chief of the British forces, at Gibraltar. The channel squadron was intended to form the mainstay -f the jubilee review; but In the event of war it will be impossible for the war ships composing it to take part in the celebration. . .. - Lord Charles' Beresford proposes to rearm with modern heavy guns the ob solete warships which are now In the reserve. This could he done at a cost of a little over 1.000,000 or the cost of two Ironelads, and t would make an exceedingly serviceable additional fleet. If this is not donu, it Is claimed these vessels ought to be soid and new ones built Lord eharies Beresford's navy agitation is meeting wih universal ap proval, i - l't has been decided to celebrate the queen's diamond jubilee by the simul taneous lighting of bonfires on the hills around' the coast at 10 o'clock on the day of the Sixtieth anniversary of bor accession to the throne, June 20, 1837.

Among the Powers of Europe Russia to ; Take Italy's Place in the Triple Al j lianoe-Itaiy 1o Join France and Eng land Kmperor William's Discourteous Treatment of Prince Bismarck, j (Copyright by the Associated Press.) 1 Berlin, April 10. It is understood on re liable authority that another great shift ing on the political chess board of Europe is Imminent, the relations of France and Russia having steadily grown worse, to the extent that they are being artificially bolstered up, and the adhesion of; Italy to the drelbund being, since the financial preliminary impotence ' of Italy j became glaringly apparent ,'by the . Abysslnians adventures, but - nominal. Therefore a new arrangement of preserving the peace balance of Europe has been deemed necs sary. Since last September private letters on this subject have been repeatedly ex changed between Berlin, St. Petersburg and Vienna, and; in German diplomatic and political circles it Is considered a foregone conclusion that an understand ing has ' been reached. Italy will little longer belong to the drelbund, . even nominally, and the force of events is gradually driving her into the arms of Great Britain and France, and it is be lieved here, with .the probable speedy victory of the. radical party in Italy this change will be accomplished. On the other hand the czar and his ad visors are said to be decided that France is too fickle for a reliable ally and, on the best possible authority, the Asso ciated Press is informed that an Intente, which perhaps later will be followed by a formal, alliance., is to ; be reached in the spring and summer between . Germany, Russia and Austria. Some of the pre liminaries will be agreed upon between Emperor William and his ally. Emperor Francis ' Joseph, during the former's visit to Vienna, 'which is now definitely nxea ior April zzna. i -rnree days later Emperor Francis Joseph .will visit the ciar at St, Petersburg. Durlne these visits the preliminaries for - the under standing . between the emperors t will be discussed and will probably be : ratified. Emperor William's visit to the crar soon after, will serve the same purpose. The proposed agreement is directed! mainly against the dubious, I shifting nollcv of Great Britain on the eastern question and the maintenance of the European status qUO. . :' --.'' J V ' :t The fact, which nas now become known in spite of reports to i the contrary, that Emperor William sent neither a message or congratulation .or - otner greetings to Prince Bismarck- on 1 his birthday, has been generally, and severely commented upon by the German press and has ren -dered the emperor, for the time beiiur. very unpopular. Evenj the Centrist Press deems the omission to De an act of un pardonable rudeness and Prince Bis marck ia said to be so deeply offended that he will never forgive his majesty. An Interpellation of the government's intentions. In view of the new United States tariff and the reciprocity clause of 1891, will come up immediately after the Easter holidays. It will be supported by the conservatives, national liberals and part of the centre. i , . . I . . . .The Congress Parliament Chest Gams London, April 10. Four of the mem bers of the chess team of the; British house of commons which will i play a team composed of members- of the United States house of representatives have been selected. It is hoped that the match will be played as soon as possible after the Easter recess. -'Mr. Heaton In an interview said that when he conceived the idea of the match he wrote to Speaker Reed about the matter. ; Mr. Reed was greatly in terested In the suhject and placed h'iro in comm-unicatkm with Hon.
