Arrangements About Complete For The Funeral of Senator Morrill. Will Take Place Saturday. Special to The Telegram. Washington, Dec. 29 The reports coming from North Carolina to the effect that President McKinley will appoint Senator Pritchard judge, in place of Judge Ewart, wllose nomina tion is now pending in the senate, is not believed by North Carolina people coming to Washington. In the event of the appointment, of Senator Pritch ard to be judge of the federal court, it would make a vacancy in the senate, which, of course, would be filled by a democrat, as the legislature which is about to convene is democratic in both branches. Neither Senator Pritchard nor Governor Russell, it is believed would be willing to allow this to hap pen, and if they should, President Mc Kinley would not consent to Senator Pritchard relinquishing his seat to a democratic senator from North Caro lina at this time. The Senator's term will not expire until March 3rd, 1903 As to the chances of the confirma tion of Judge Ewart, there is a differ ence of opinion among the democrats and republicans from the state. The prospects are it is thought at this time that Ewart will be confirmed, if a vote can be secured on the nomination. Senator Pritchard stated just before the adjournment of congress" for the holiday recess that a vote would be reached within a short time after the NewYear. The opposition of Senator Butler to confirmation is earnest, but it is thought that several southern senators, including, perhaps, Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, will vote to confirm the nomination. The opposition being principally political, many southern democratic senators do not think that they are called upon to take a hand in the contest, by favor iDgoneor the other faction of the North Carolina republicans, and will therefore probably vote to confirm Ewart, and put an end to the lonjj controversy over the nomination. Arrangements for the funeral of the late Senator Morrill have been about completed. The public ceremonies wi'l take place on Saturday morning from the senate chamber, and it is ex pected that a large concourse of peo ple will be present. President McKin ley, members of the cabinet, supreme court justices, and diplomatic corps will be present, and will occupy seats on the floor, of the senate. Owing to the absence from the city of both vice president and speaker, the committee on arrangements has not vet been an nounced, but will probably be made public today. It is thought both Vice President Uobart and Speaker Reed will come to Washington immediately, so as to be here on Saturday. , Senator Morrill's death, after an illness of only one week, is much re gretted by his colleagues in the senate and house. All day yesterday at the residence there was a steady stream of callers. Telegrams were received by the family during the day from a large number of distinguished .senators and representatives who have gone to their homes to spend the holidays. To most of the members of the senate the news of the illness and death of Mr. Morrill came as a great surprise, for he was in attendance at the sessions of the senate up to the day of adjourn ment, and- was regarded as being in his usual health. It is expected that the occasion of the address of Hon. William J. Bry an, before the Virginia Democratic Association, and the banquet under the auspices of the association, on the 22d of February, will be a notable oc- casion. rne aemanu ior invitations to the banquet has been very great. Altogether it is expected that about six hundred invitations will be issued. Among the speakers will be Senator Daniel, of Virginia. Among North Carolina people in Washington is Dr. Jones, who is spending.a portion of the holidays in the city, stopping at the National Ho tel. Messrs. W. M.

Baptists Want Appropriations to Public Schools Increased. Rev. John E. White, the secretary of the Baptist State Mission Board, who has been identified with past movements against state aid to the University, will oppose any attempt to increase the appropriations to high er education. Mr. Whitewill urge the legislature to devote all available funds to the public. Mr. White is in accord with the Bap tist denomination, as the following letter and resolution, which is being forwarded to the General Assembly, will show : At its recession in Greenville, N. C, the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina unanimously passed the enclosed resolution and memorial, and instructed me, as corrssponding secretary, to place a copy of the same in the hands of each member of the general assembly. You will allow me to' add my ear nest plea that the matter it presents will receive, as I am sure it will, pri mary consideration at the hands of so distinguished a body as the coming general assembly promises to be. Resolved 1. That the Convention of North Carolina Baptists reaffirm its unalterable faith in Christian educa tion, and its conviction that our Bap tist boys and girls should seek their training in Baptist schools and col leges. 2. That as citizens we believe that the state's policy which neglects the common schools the schools of the people and appropriates public mon ey for the benefit of the few in higher education, as undemocratic, unjnst to taxpayers, unfair to private at d de nominational beneficence, without ex cuse, and that the cause of education in all its branches would be greatly advanced by a reversal of that policy. 3. Therefore, exercising our right of petition, we. the Baptist State Conven tion, respectfully memoraliza. the leg islature soou to assemble to appropri ate every available dollar of public money, however small the amountmay be, to the improvement of our public schools, and tllat the policy of pro gress in this direction be set up and maintained until the reproof of illiter acy be removed from our State, and until the 000,000 boys and girls whose hope for enlightenment is in the public schools, are afforded an oppoutunity to receive the primary instruction necessary to fit them for the duties of citizenship.

THE COAST LINE THE BIDDEN The Cape Tear & Yadkin Valley Railway Sold THE PRICE PAID, $125,000 The Sale Took Place in Fayetteville This Afternoon There Were Three Bidders in the Field Greensboro people have manifested considerable interest in the sale of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail way, which took place in Fayetteville this afternoon. There has been much speculation concerning thesale of late. It has been eaid that, the present receiver-of the road, John Gill, being a stockholder in the Seaboard Air Line system' had formed a combination with the Baltimore bondholders to buy the road and lease it to the Seaboard. This has been the rumor. Another report or rumor has been' to the effect that the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern were pulling together and had formed a "combine" to beat all Other bidders. The Telegram, however, has been of the opinion that ihe "longest pole would knock the persimmon" and that seems to have been the case. The sale commenced at 12 o'cIock today and ended between one and two. The bid ders werei- The Southern Railway Co., the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Liire, the latter becom ing the purchaser at 3,125,000.
