By Vire to The Txxjdgbam. Montpelier, Vt.,TJec. 28 The news of the death of Vermont's venerable representative, Senator Morrill, was received this morning from Washing ton with expressions of great regret by all classes. The flag on the senate has been placed at half mast, and sim ilar action has been taken by the cus todians of the other buildings. Senator Morrill was born in Straf ford, Vt., April 14, 1810. In early life he was a merchant, and later an agri culturist. He was elected to the house of representatives in the 34th congress, and for the four succeeding terms. Then he was transferred to the senate as a union republican, taking his seat March 4, 1867. Since that time his service has been continuous, and he has the record of the longest unbroken term of service in the history of the senate. He has taken an important part in the legislation of the last thirty years especially on commercial and finan cial questions, his position as chair man of the finance committee giving him a leading part in all measures re lating to lhe tariff, banking or cur rency.

THE NAVAL PERSONNEL BILL Reported Unanimously from The House Committee. SENATE COMMITTEE FAVORS IT. Senator Butler's Pension Bill is Not Likely To Be Reported From The Committee. Special to Thi Tkl.bg ram. Washington, Dec. 28 A- strong ef fort is being made to secure the pas sage oi the naval personnel bill. For a long time this legislation has been demanded from congress, and , at this session the effort is being revived with much earnestness. The bill is before the house of representatives, Graving been reported unanimously from the house committee on naval affairs. Those interested in its passage are hopeful that the measure will be allow ed to come before the house after the Christmas holidays, and will ask that a day be set aside for its considera tion. The time for the consideration of the bill in the house, if the request is granted by the committee on rules, will probably be somewhere between the 4th and the 10th of January. The naval committee in the senate is, it is understood, unanimously in favor of the naval personnel bill, and if the measure is passed by the house they will make an effort to obtain consider ation by the senate. Among the mem bers of the naval committee is Senator Butler, of North Carolina. The sen ator is in favor of the legislation asked, and will aid in getting the bill before the senate for consideration. Among other senators who are inter ested in the bill now pending before the house are Senators Tillman and Martin. The latter, who is now in Washington, says he has no doubt but consideration can be obtained, provided the house acts promptly on the bill within the next two. weeks. The senator says that the housed bill ss it stands meets with the favor of most senators, and will be the bill which will eventually pass the senate, if any measure of the kind passes this ses sion. The rank and file of the navy, and many of the officers, as well as the offi cials of the navy department, have given their support to the bill and are urging its passage. On account of the opposition devel oped in the south to the bills intro duced by Senator Butler, of North Carolina, to grant pensions to those who fought in the confederacy, and of Representative Rixey, of Virginia, to admit ex-Confederates to the National Soldiers' Homes of the country, it is unlikely that either bill will be re ported from the committees to which they have been referred. There is al most absolutely no sentiment for the passage of the . measure of Senator Butler, which would greatly increase the proportions of an already over burdened pension list. The measure of Representative Rixey meets with more favor among south ern people, though there is a decided opposition to its enactment into law by many Representatives from the section. Announcements have been received in Washington of, the coming mar riage of Miss Elizabeth Bridges Cox, of Tarboro, North Carolina to Mr. Benjamin F. Finley. The bride is a daughter-in-law of General William R. Cox, the Secretary of the United States senate, and has many friends in Washington city where she has fre quently visited. The groom is also well known in this section, being a native of Virginia. He is now the state chemist of Georgia. The wed ding will take place at Raleigh, North Carolina, January 3rd. The mocking bird which was re ceived at the white house on Monday, is said to have been sent from North Carolina. The bird is a very pretty specimen, and is a fine singer. Those who have seen him say that he is one of the finest specimens of a mocking bird. Mr. W. T. Shaw, a business man of Weldon, North Carolina, is in the city for a few days stopping at the Howard House. Mr. Shaw says that the Christmas trade in his section of the state was not up to the average last week. Mr. Charles T. Meserve, and F. H Busbee, both of Raleigh, N. C, are at the St. James, having stopped over Monday on their way east. Marriage licence was issued in this eity on Tuesday to Mr. Thomas F. Holt, of Manchester, Virginia, and Miss Mabel P. Sutton, of Salisbury, North Carolina. Jeff Penn, of North, Carolina, is in the city on a business trip, being re gistered at the St. James Hotel. 1ST. V. Paterson. of Salem, N.

While the democratic executive com mittee, which met in Raleigh last night took no action with reference to the legislation that will come before the general assembly, the members talked freely in the hotel lobbies about the sentiment of the democratic voters in their sections of the state. Reporters of this interviewed most of the mem bers before the meeting last night. If tbey reflect tha sentiment of the 6tate, it may be safe to say that the demo cratic voters in the state are in favor of these propositions: 1. Submitting an amendment to the constitution, without any constitution al convention, embodying the main points in the Louisiana constitution restricting suffrage, or "something equally as good." 2. Enacting a law providing for white democratic primaries, regulated by law. 3. Enacting a Jim Crow car law. If there is any division of sentiment n favor of these propositions, I did not discover it in my interviews with most of the members of the committee. There is also a strong sentiment though not so pronounced, in favor of two other propositions: 1. Dividing the school fund to the races in the proportion paid by them. 2. Changing the time for holding the state election from November to July or August, and separating the state and national elections. If this s done, the idea is to submit the con stitutional amendment restricting suf frage at the "regular election" in Au gust. It was suggested that one mem ber from the central section of the state that this would secure the united support of all who voted the demo cratic ticket last November, whereas if the amendment was submitted at a national election there might be fric tion on national issues that would en danger the ratification of the amend ment to the constitution.
