EASIER FEELING PREVAILS
Since The House Passed The BUI
Appropriating fifty Million.
THE MONTGOMERY" AT HAYANA.
mobilization of Fleet off Key West
Goes on Senate Will Pass Th
Appropriation Bill Today.
By Wire To Thb Tblbg&ax.
Washington, Mar. 9 A somewhat
easier feeling over the Spanish situa
tion has followed the passage of the
bill appropriating fifty million dol
lars for the national defense. The
general opinion seems to be that the
measure was one 'of peace rather than
war and that no incurrence since the
beginning of the Cuban controversy
has done so much toward averting a
conflict with Spain. The enthusiasm
which prevailed in the house yester
day has taken possession of the sen
ate today and the appropriation bill
will be passed before the day is over.
MONTGOMERY ARRIVES.

Washington, Mar. 9 The senate
committee on appropriations has just
decided to report the house bill favor
ably without change. It will be
brought up so soon as the senate
meets and will be passed today. No
arrangement has been made as to de
bate because debate in the senate can
not be limited.
MOBILIZATION GOING-ON.
By Wire to the Tilbg ram.
Washington, Mar. 9 The 'steady
mobilization in Florida waters of
naval vessels was increased this mora-
ing by the arrival of the torpedo boat
Porter at Key West. The Porter re
cently left Norfolk going south.

Later When the senate met Senator
Hale introduced the bill appropria
ting fifty million dollars for national

While the dg wa9 lying-in a yard,

Porter secured a gun, which had not
been fired lately, with which he intend

the hammer back it failed to stand and
the gun fired, a portion of the load
entering the face of Will Bullard, a
white boy, who had just come to the
door of his father's house.
Dr. Brown was summoned to look
after the boy and found that he was
not seriously hurt. Five shot had
entered his face, one of them penetrat-
ng an eye. It was not ascertained
whether the boy will lose the optic or
not.

President Andrews Coming.
There is little need to say anything
of President E. Benjamin Andrews,
who lectures on Robert E. Lee at the
Normal College, on the 15th inst. It
would be hard to' find ah American au
dience that does not already knowthat
he stands in the front rank of Amer
ica's educators, lecturers and think
ers. The Augusta Chronicle, speakiDg
editorially, says:
"It was a rare privilege which the
people of Augusta enjoyed last night
in listening to the lecture of President
E. B. Andrews on the character and
career of Lee. To say that his audi
ence was charmed,' would be but a
commonplace definition of the rapt
attention with which they hung upon
his clear and concise presentation of
the life of tee and the sense of de
lighted wonder with which they follow
ed him through the original views by
which his lecture was characterized."
President Andrews should and doubt
less will have a crowded house. Hacks
will be run for the lecture as usual.

in Brunswick, the county of his na
tivity.

versed freely on matters of State and
nation. Not least among the subjects
talked of was the probability of this
country becoming involved in war
with Spain. The question of drafting
troops from North Carolina interested

"Well," said that State officer,
official duties as Secretary of State
will preclude the possibility of my
taking up arms, however much I might
desire to get in the fight."
The Governor looked quizzically at"
his secretary of state, and remarked:
'The appointing power still resides in
the Gubernational chair and I see no
prospect of a change in the prerog
ative."
The laugh was on the secretary of
state, and none of the guests enjoyed
the joke more than the Governor. -
Before the roast was over Judge
Douglass was trapped in the same
manner, tie too stated in -a very in
nocent manner that his judicial duties
would prevent him from joining the
