THE LINES ABE CLOSELY DRAWN Quay and His Lieutenants Appear to be Hopeful, but the Facts Seem Quite' Antagonistic. By Wire to Thb Tslsorau. Harrisburg, Jan. 30 It is believed there will be no change in the sena torial vote until after Quay's trial is over, which is set for Feb. 20th. The lines are closely drawn-and it is hope less to expect a break under the exist ing circumstances. Quay and his lieutenants declare withevery show of confidence that he will be re-elected but the facts seem antagonistic. A quorum today would be greatly to Quay's advantage, but the democrats and anti-Quay republi cans will not participate in the vote for fear of some trick. Later No quorum. The vote stood: Quay, 35; Jenks, 4. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT. The Local News From Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau ) High Point, N.

OPPOSES THE DISPENSARY. Mr. Cone Says It Is Sure to Impede Our Progress. Greensboro, N. C, Jan. 30, '99. To the Editor: Dear Sir: I was busily engaged in New York last week endeavoring to organize one of the largest manufac turing corporations yet located in Greensboro, when my attention was called to the present agitation for a dispensary law. I could not believe it possible, in these days of advancing civilization and respect for the per sonal rights of the individual, that a town which I have been telling every body is the 'coming town of the state, should so deliberately enter upon a path certain to stop4ts progress. I have been explaining to prejudiced northern investors that North Caro lina has turned a new leaf, that there will be no more repudiation, no more populism, no more attacks on pros pert or individual rights in the state and that, especially in Greensboro, the stranger will be welcomed with liberality and open-handed- hospi tality. I have never known a town in which this question was constantly agitated which prospered, and we all know that when the "dispensary" is established, those of us opposed to it will agitate for its discontinuance, and finally, it will be discontinued, all of which will be bad for the town. The business men, however much they, as we all do, desire the good will and friend ship of the preachers and church, do not want to see our business go down and our prosperity interfered with over these personal questions. The church cannot prosper and do good and increase in membership and pros perity when there is no prosperity in the community. Every one knows how unsalable real estate was in Greens boro three years, ago and that today it has a mar net value. Are holders of property willing to see the former condition of things return? Let them pass dispensary law, and they will find themselves accommodated. The mer chant, the real estate owner and deal er, the lawyer, the banker, the clerk, the carpenter, the laborer, in Greens boro is today in better prosperity, comparatiyely, than in any other town in the state. Are they going to put an end to all that? Dispensaries may be all right for small, provincial, back-woods towns, but not for enterprising and up-to-date cities. We all know how the traveling public feel on this subject and that enterprise will not settle in a com munity when one part of the people try to regulate the personal rights of the other. What investor will come here with his money under such circum stances? I would much rather see absolute prohibition than this "dis pensary" method of forcing men to regulate their appetites. I say frankly that of all the enter prises I am connected with, and have directly or indirectly influenced to come to Greensboro, not oue would have come had we thought such laws would be sprung on us. If there is anything that will kill a town, when others, its competitors, are enjoying all the rights and privileges of an ad vanced civilization, it is when similar rights and privileges of its own citi zens are limited and curtailed. Can not any one see how Raleigh, Dur ham, Winston and Charlotte would each benefit at our expense, with such a law in operation here? Can any one imagine the progressive, public spirited, liberal, up-to-date, city of Charlotte passing such a law? I do not believe that when the time comes, a majority in this community can be found for this proposition, and if it can, it will be unfair, it will be wrong, for such a majority to take away from the minority personal rights and liberties of this kind. Very truly yours, Moses H. Cone. Getting In its Work. That article in our paper of Satur day (and, by the way, the same thing will appear today on local page) is getting in its work. The dispensary is not getting all the attention. You may argue as you will, it does not change the fact that your boy must wear clothes. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that there are clothes and clothes, but the fact that the Mrs. Jane Hopkins' make are at the top cannot be denied. The article above referred to is headed Sunday reading. Give it your attention. A Splendid Sermon. Rev. Howard E. Rdndthaler, of Salem, preached a very interesting and timely Bermon last night to the young ladies of the State Normal and Industrial College. The sermon was filled with wholesome advice and was much appreciated by those who heard it. Mr. Rondthaler is one of the state's foremost young divines and Dr. Mclver did well to secure him to preach to the young ladies. Cure a Cold In One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

People Turned Adrift In the Streets With Scant Clothing Heavy Financial Losses. By Wire To Ths Txlboram. Chicago, Jan. 30 The Mahogany yards, Raynor Morgan and Fulton & Austin's box factory were burned this morning. The loss is estimated at three hundred and twen'y-five thous and dollars. The Smith boarding house, adjoining, was destroyed, and twenty-five lodgers in scant attire, were forced into the streets with the mercury below zero. .Ten firemen were compelled to jump from the burning buildings to the street, and one of them severely injured. FIRE IN PITTSBURG. Pittsburg, Jan. 30 The Simon building, occupied by the New York Biscuit company, was destroyed by fire this morning. Loss one hundred thousand. The extreme cold weather greatly hampered the firemen and dis abled some of the apparatus. GRENSBORO BOND BILL PASSES. Also Mr. Winston's BUI flaking Co habitation a Felony. Raleigh, Jan. 28 The senate was called to order at 10 o'clock. Prayer was offered by Senator Jones. After reports of committees and the intro duction of bills, the Calendar was taken up and bills as 'follows passed final reading: To repeal chapter 112, laws of 1895, and chapter 172, laws of 1897, relating to the extension of the boundaries of Mt. Airy township. This bill practically enforces the col lection of a $25,000 bond issue, sub scribed for the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railroad; to authorize the treasurer of Haywood county to pay school claims; for the relief of Sarah McLeary, a colored school teacher in Cfrjrtkam county; to incorporate the town of Mt. Gilead, in Montgomery county; to repeal chapter 51, laws of 1697, relating to the prevention of fishing with certain nets in Albemarle county; to protect cattle from splen etic fever. (In explaining this bill Senator Fields suggested that the par ticular evil guarded against was the boophilus bovis, or a particular fever tick, which particu'ar tick is a disease, particularly contagious and deadly to cattle). A bill to repeal section 3,113 of The Code came up. This bill provides that a local option election may be held in any month during the year, instead of in June, as the law now stands, and on a petition of one-fourth of the citizens of a township, instead of one-half, as formerly. Though not germane the general principal of local option was brought nnder discussion. Senator Bryan did uot believe in local option. He said prohibition did not prohibit, and only led to evasion of the law and the curtailing of man's rights. High license say 8500 to tl.000, or even $5,000 was the best policy. Senator Mclntyre did not agree with this view. He said that ten years ago in Lumberton women and' children were not safe from drunken men and that general lawlessness prevailed. This was under the high license sys tem. Now, he said, there was local option in Lumberton; there were sobri ety and dency and not 100 arrests in a year. He urged that religion and the women and children of North Carolina be given the same chance, at least, as the barroom people of the state. Senator Ward said.. that he wished to propose an amendment to the bill, that cities and counties should be in cluded in the bill, in addition to townships, for, he said, as the measure stands, whiskey could be driven from one township to another where there was no police surveilance, and to be effective its provisions should apply more generally. The bill was finally re-referred to the committee. A bill to allow Greensboro to issue bonds passed final reading, so did bills to authorize the payment of school teachers in Halifax county for services rendered in 1897; to amend the charter of Gastonia; to amend chapter 159, laws of 1895, (this is Rountree's bill .and prevents judges fron issuing an injunction or restrain ing order on a quo warranto proceed ing against a defendant office); to lit corporate the Carolina Building and Surety Company; to amend chapter 108 laws of 1895, authorizing the commis sioners of Modre county to elect offi cers in case of vacancy. The bills to protect game in Chero gree, Clay and Macon counties and to amend the charter of Greenville, passed second reading and were placed on tomorrow's calendar. .Senators Hicks and Campbell were added ty the committee on engrossed 4illa. IN THE HOUSE. Many bills were introduced, among which was one by Mr. Alexander, of Rutherford, to create the "Vance tex tile department" of the Agricultural and Mechanical College. The bill simply amends section 9, public laws of 1897, chapter 410, by adding to said section: "It shall be the duty of said board to establish and maintain a de partment of the college in which shall be taught the manufacture of textile goods." - The bill introduced by Winston, of Bertie, to make cohabitation between the whith and black races a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the county, jail for not less than four months or in the state prison for not more than five years came up for con sideration with a favorable report from the committee. The bill evoked considerable discussion. Speaker Con nor called Hon. Locke Craig to the chair and took the floor in advocacy of the measure. Ex-Judge Allen and Mr. Justice opposed the bill on the ground that it would provoke black mail and fraud. An aye and nay vote was demanded on the vote. The bill passed second reading by a vote of 62 to 24. Ray, of Macon, objected to the passage of the bill on its third reading. Winston declined to give his consent to postponement and the bill passed its final reading. ' "A clincher" was then put on the bill by a motion to re consider and lay on the table, x The bill to regulate the measurement of timber came up with an unfavorable report. A substitute was, offered by the committee. Jones, ot Pender, the au thor of the bill, said that there was no uniform rule for timber measurement in the state, and that such laws were usual. Winston, of Bertie, offered an amendment excluding Berti and Hert ford from the operation of the bill. He declared that the proposed enactment would .work' a great injustice to the seller. Leatherwood opposed the bill. He said it would do Western North Carolina a great injustice and was the worst measure yet introduced in the legislature. He declared further that the bill if enacted, wbuld drive capi tal from the state. Rountree favored a uniform rule for the state. He said that such an important matter should be carefully considered, and he asked that the bill be recommitteed to the committee on propositions and griev ances. Council, of Watauga, declared that few, if any, states in the union had a law governing timber measure ment and he opposed the bill. It was agreed that the bill should go to the committee on propositions and griev ances for further consideration. The bill changing the name of the town of Wolsey, in Buncombe county, to Raymond passed all of its readings Mr. Craig stated that the town was originally named Raymond, in honor of an old citizen of the town, but that the fusion legislature changed its name to Wolsey, in honor of a republican. The house concurred in the amend ment adopted by the senate relating to the bill affecting quo warranto pro ceedings. The .bill increasing the number of county commissioners of Perquimans passed its readings. The resolutions raising a committee to name trustees of the University was adopted. Charlotte Observer. The Proposal Adopted. By Cable to The Tklbgbam. Paris, Jan. 30 -The Chamber of Deputies, 346 to 189, adopts the gov ernment's proposal to submit to a special committee of the chamber a bill providing that cases for trial re vision shall be brought before the united sections of the court of cassa tion. The report of Mazau the first president of the court of cassation on the Beaurepaire charges, will be read before the committee. Whole Family Drowned.

The boy died and the whole family started to take the bodyto Canada in a boat.

London, Jan. 30 It is announced that the queen has granted license at the desire of Leander J. McCormick of Chicago, to Frederick E Goodhart of Hollow Castle, Tonbridge to as sume the name of IcCormick. It is said to be the first case on record where a Britisher has added bis wife's name to his own. Peculiar Contempt Case. Bj Wire to the Thlbqbajc Boston, Jan. 30 Judge Bond today fined the Boston Herald five hundred dollars in contempt proceedings for having on Thursday heaaea a report of the trial in the Mulory and Seal Ion's case "Guilt is Evident". As a consequence of this headline the case was taken from the jury. MR. KITCHIN IS EULOGIZED for His Speech on the Army Re organization Bill. THE BILL'S CHANGES NOT BRIGHT. Only Three North Carolina Congress men Favor It They are Messrs. White, Llnney and Pearson. Special to Ths Telegram. Washington, Jan. 30. The speech of Representative SKitchin, of North Carolina, upon the army reorganiza tion bill, which is now pending in the house, was one of the best that has been delivered by the opposition to to the measure. Mr. Kitchin has re ceived and is receiving many congrat ulations on account of his effort, and it is believed that it will be an impor tant aid in killing the measure in the house, if it is accomplished. So far as can be learned the major ity of the North Carolina delegation in the house will vote against the bill to increase the army. So far as known there are only three members of the nine who are favorable1 to its passage, Representatives White, Linney and Pearson. The adoption of the amend ment reducing the army from the original figure proposed, 100,000 to 50,000, will undoubtedly aid in passing the bill through the house, as many republicans, in view of the reduction will give the measure their vote to morrow, who otherwise would not have supported the bill at all. The vote upon the opposition wil' undoubtedly register their strongest vote upon a motion to recommit the bill, which will probably be made by Representative Hay, of the committee on military affairs, who is leading the opposition in the house. Upon a motion to re commit several republicans will join the democrats, but whether there will be enough to carry the motion remains to be seen. The chances for the passage of the bill through the senate, as it now stands, are not very bright. Senator Butler is opposed to the increase, and he stated the other day that he does not believe that the senate will pass the house bill. If any measure is enacted into law at this session, it will be a compromise measure. Among the petitions presented to the senate on Saturday was one by Sena tor Pritchard, of North Carolina, on behalf of the state senate and assem bly, reduesting that an appropriation be made to establish a light beacon at the Cape Channel in Pamlico Sound. In the house of representatives a similar petition was presented on be half of the state legislature, by Rep resentative White. Senator Butler, by request, has in troduced a bill in the senate to regu late the service, and fix the hours of policemen in the District of Columbia. The measure provides for the limiting of the hours of policemen to eight hours per day, .as a day's service. 'Senator Pritchard introduced one or two bills Saturday, for -Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, who was called home on account of the sena torial contest in West Virginia. One of the bills provides for an increase of salary for the second and third as sistant secretaries of state. The other measure provides for an increase of salary of the consul at Windsor, Nova Scotia. Among the late nominations con firmed by the senate is that of Ella C. Peace, to be postmaster at Oxford, Granville county, North Carolina. The nomination was confirmed by the senate late Saturday night, and she will be duly commissioned. It is announced that Mrs. James Baker, wife of assistant librarian of the senate, will not return to Wash ington for several weeks, owing to the death of her sister, Mrs. Hamilton Erwin, which took place at Morgan ton, North Carolina, on Monday Inst.
