Some of the factories have started

The drinking here on Christmas eve
was worse than ever before and

the "bust head" they had in stock for
the majority of them have been sober

main features at the Presbyterian and

the main features at the Methodist.

ABOLISH RAILROAD COMfllSSION.
And Establish Commission of Rail.
roads. Banking and Insurance.
Those who claim to be on the inside
of things say that the legislature will
abolish the Railroad Commission and
establish in its place a commission of
railroads, banking and insurance.
This, my informant tells me, will,
like the present railroad commitsion,
consist of three members. The chair
man, however, will be required to live
in Raleigh and be continually at the
office. For this service he will receive
a salary of $2,500 a year. The other
two commissioners, like the present
railroad commissioners, may reside
where they like, 60 they attend the
regular meetings of the board. For
this service they will be paid $1,800 a
years.
It is claimed aleo that Hon. Thos.
J. Jarvis is slated for the chairman
ship and that the other members of it
will be men of experience and recog
nized ability.
In addition to the duties now devolv-
ingupon the railroad commission me
commission of railroads, banking and
insurance would, as its name indicates
have charge of the banking and insur
ance business of the state. The con
trol and examination of baaks is now
in the hands of the state treasurer, and
the insurance business is controlled
by the secretary of state.
To take from the treasurer the-bank-ing
business would relieve him of the
appointment of two examiners, and to
take from the secretary of state the in
surance business would be cutting that
official's salary half in two.
There are those who believe that
some such arrangement as the above
would be much more satisfactory than
the creation of a separate and inde
pendent office for the management of
the insurance business. News and

Resolution of The State Agricultural
Society, Last Night.
The state agricultural society held a
meeting at Raleigh last night, at
which a new set of by-laws or the gov
ernment of the society for the next

Theefficient president, Col. J. S. Cun
ningham, was not present, but his
suggestions and purposes were made
known to the society and duly ap
proved, and a resolution unanimously
passed, thanking him for his untiriDg
efforts for the welfare of the society,
and showing the high -appreciation in
woich he is held by his associates.
The following resolution was intro
duced by Capt. C. B. Denson and
passed without a dissenting voice,
showing that the members of the so

the leadership and guidance of their
energetic and popular president, Col.

annual exhibit of the society a great
fair and exposition such as will be a
credit to the management and an hon
or to the state:
"Resolved, that the North Carolina
Agricultural Society, recognizing the
importance, not only of encouraging
the agricultural, but also the indus
trial interests of the state, decides to
hold in the city of Raleigh a state fair
and exposition during the month of
October, 1899, and does hereby appeal
to the people of the 6tate to aid in
making this exposition a great suc
cess, not only in placing upon exhibi

resources of North Carolina, but also
in bringing the people closer together
by seeing the products of the common
wealth, and also by meeting each
other."
The patriotic and enterprising mem
bers of the socitjty and managers of
the Fair are to be commended for their
unselfish work and untiring energies

glorious common wealth we live in.
STARS AND STRIPES
Floats Alongside The Cuban Flag in
Havana.
Uy Cable To Tut. TiUBciRAM.
Havana, Dec. 27 Citizens of this
city read in the morning papers today
an order from Capt. General Castel
lanos, permitting the display of Cuban
and American flags inside the lines of
Spanish jurisdiction, in response to
which early this morning thestars and
stripe? and Cuban flags floated over
many public buildings in the heart of
the city and on streets where Spanish
soldiers still keep guard. The only
buildings excepted in the order are the
government offices.
Havana is therefore now bright with
color. Fire crackers are being explo
ded on streets and piazzas.
Robert Scott, ex-city treasurer of
Jacksonville, Fla., succeeded in get
ting a small cargo of flags into Ha
vana several weeks ago. Four cent
flags are selling for one dollar.
Capt. Gt neral Castellana's order was
issued after a conference with Gen.
Ludlow, and will be followed
tonight by an order closing
the cafes at ten o'clock. Fourteen
persons were accidentally wounded
yesterday by different kinds of wea
pons being fired in the streets.

TREATY WILL BE RATIFIED.
Opposition To Territorial Expan
sion Will Not
TURN SENATORS AGAINST IT.
Pritchard Favors Treaty Death of
Dr. Bitting In Philadelphia Tar
Heels in Washington.
Special to The Telegram.
Washington, Dec. 27 There ap
pears from present indications to be
no longer any doubt of the final rati
fication of the treaty of peace. Sena
tors and representatives who are in
Washington during the Christmas hol
idays are convinced that the opposif
tion to the policy of territorial expan
sion will not go so far as to cause sen
ators to vote against the ratification
of the treaty. Any opposition that
may develop to annexation of outlying
territory will in all probability be
postponed until after the treaty has
been finally ratified, and will probably
develop when the questi 'n of a new
form of government for the islands
comes before congress for considera
tion. The opposition will urge a form
of self government for the Cubans and
the Philippine Islands, as far as is
consistent.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, who is
in "vfashington with his wife, stopping
at the Baltic during the holidays, and
also Senator McLaurin, of South
Carolina, who returned from Charles
ton on Saturday, are both of theopin-
ion-that the treaty will not be reject
ed, although neither senator will defi
nitely state his position, or what course
he will personally follow until the
treaty comes before the senate for con
sideration. It is expected that the
president will send the treaty to the
senate soon after the reassembling.
It will be at once referred to the com
mittee on foreign relations, and the
committee wili devote a week or more
to its consideration, after which it
will be reported back to the senate.
The senators do not like to discuss the
treaty pending its consideration by the
senate, as it will be considered doubt
less in executive session, and it would
be improper for them to go into de
tails in advance.
Of the North Carolina senators it is
known that Senator Pritchard is for
the treaty, but the position of Senator
Butler is not known.
Monday was observed in Washing
ton as a legal holiday, nearly all of
the leading places of business being
closed from noon, and in many in
stances the merchants closed their
places of busin ss during the entire
day. On Sunday special services of
song and praise v.re held in most of
the Protestant, as well as Catholic
churches.
With two exceptions, Secretary
Bliss, who went to New York, and
Secretary and Mrs. Hay, who spent
thi day at Cleveland, Ohio, all of the
members of the President's cabinet and
their families remained in Washing
ton Sunday and Monday.
Of the North Carolina delegation in
congress, both ot the senators are in
the state. Rep esentatives Pearson
and White are in the city, but it is be
lieved that all of the remaining mem
bers of the North Carolina delegation
went home for the holidays.
The death of Dr. Bitting, which oc
curred at Philadelphia, is much re
gretted by Baptist clergymen in this
city, among whom he was well known,
having frequently visited Washington
city. Dr. Bitting was well known
throughout the south, having formerly
had important pastorates at Rich-
Lmond and Lynchburg, Virginia, and
Greenville, North Carolina.
Among well known North Carolina
people in the city is. Supt. Johjs J.
Blair, of Winston, who is stopping at
the Ebbitt House. He is on his way
to New York city, and expects in a
short time to take an extended tour
abroad, visiting England and the con
tinent. Mr. Blair is of the opinion
that the legislature will pass a law at
the coming session limiting negro suf
frage in the state.
