From this morning's News & Ob server we take the following account of the passage of the Greensboro dis pensary bill through the senate: The Greensboro dispensary bill was the special order for 1 o'clock and im mediately when it was taken up Sena tor Bryan offered an amendment pro viding that the question of dispen sary or no d'spensary be submitted to a vote of the qualified electors. Senator Halrston, who had charge of the minority report on the bill, gave the amendment right of way, the issue being whether the dispensary should be established outright or only by a special election for it. Senator Wl'son epoke first and did not conceal that be was poorly pleased that there should be an attempt to amecd the bill contrary to the wishes of the representatives of Guilford county. Senator Wilson said it was a matter that effected his people, the people he was sent to represent. It was purely a local measure and he was responsi ble to his people. The question had already been submitted to a vote of the people. The negroes held the bal ance of power in Greensboro. The senator from Craven did not wish the negro to rule in Newbern, but was willing to give them an opportunity to rule in Greensboro. People had been induced by outsiders to come on the floor and declare that the people he represented did not want the dis pensary. He thought he was advised as to what they wanted. Senator Campbell denied that a ma jority of the white voters of Greens boro were in favor of the dispensary. Senator Lindsay said that all the representatives of Guilford county and all the senators living near Greens boro favored the dispensary. Senator Justice said the senator from Greens boro had made an hones', earnest ef fort to ascertain the wishes of his peo ple. He had declined to advocate the bill until the people had spoken in a primary. The primary was held and was overwhelmingly in favor of the dispensary. The negroes in Greens boro held the balance of power and their vote wou'd control on a high moral question. He stood with the good people of Greensboro. Senator Bryan said the negroes would not control under the new elec tion law. The question was not pure1 y local because it established a prece dent of allowing a minority to dictate legislation. Senator Glenn said if the represent- a'lves Oi me county wereuiviueu mere would be some excuse for interfering; but they all favored the bill. Greens boro was in a largely Quaker county; the people favored prohibition. It was the grand centre of female education in the state, the place where the future mothers of North Carolina were being trained. The dispensary deprived no man of his rights. Every man could drink to his heart's content but it put an end to treating. It put an end also to drinking after sundown, the great est curse of the country. It was said that the passage of the bill would hurt the Democi atic party. If the Demo cratic party had to stand upon such grounds then let it be swept away. There were 1,700 petitioners for the dispensary and only forty against it. Senator Hairston asked if part of the petitioners were not negroes. S-nator Glenn replied that if so it showed that some negroes were rising to a higher moral plane. The repre sentatives of Guilford would be un true t.- their oblit ations if they failed to support the bill. "Who favors the bill?" he exclaimed. "The good peo ple of Greensboro. Who oppose it? A man who a few years ago came from the North and settled outside of Greens boro. The citizens voted a tax to build an avenue out to his property. Now no liquor is allowed to be sold abo't his home, but he wishes to have i, sold near the homes of other people. Kr-nator Glenn declared that he had been warned not to favor the dispen sary as it would injure his chances of political preferment. Such should not Htpr him. He would cast his ballot for the dispensary regardless of con sequences to himself. Senator Franks said there could be no morality about legalizing the sale of liquor. He preferred the bar room to the dispensary. Senator Daniels had doubted the propriety of bringing in bills of the dispensary sort. He proposed to vote for the bill because the senator from Guilford assured him that the people wanted it. Senator Brown said the opposition had an opportunity to express their sentiments at the polls and had failed to do so. Now they should not open their mouths against it. He believed the dispensary was the solution of the liquor question. He would vote on th moral side of every Question as he saw it. Senator Smith said 9ince the senti ment of the people of Greensboro was for the dispensary he shonld support it. The election" couM not be held un der the new election law because it did nnt tm Into effect until iust before the next general election. Senator Cooley said he would sup- AGUINALDO'S MANIFESTO, Laments Hostilities. Which He Tried To Avoid. "HUMILIATING CONCESSIONS " "Corrupt Spanish Dominion Prefer. able to Odious American Domina tion." Manila Incendarles. By Cable to the Telegram. Hong Kong, Feb. 22 Aguinaldo has issued a manifesto, and accepted the situation caused by "the unexpect ed provocation of the Americans." While, lamenting 'the hostilities, which he says he tried to avoid by every means In his power, making hu- triMat'ng concessions and tolerating outrages by the army of occupation against the people of Manila," he adds that he is prepared to sacrifice everything to maintain his intregrlty and the national honor. He further alleges that the country is unanimous in his support and the people will perish rather than accept the odious American domination to which "even the corrupt Spanish do minion is preferable." The Philippine commission is con sidered a farce, Otis, Denby, Dewey and Secretary Harder being classed as pronounced annexationists, later being charged with having maliciously defamed the Filipinos newspapers and being especially obnoxious to the Filipinos government Finally, Aguina.do "wishes to pro claim to the world officially and dis pel the false rumors that Germany or any other power had rendered assist ance, moral or national, to the Fili pinos, nor have the Filipinos solicited aid." TRIED TO BURN MANILA. Manila, Feb. 22 Eighty houses were burned in an attempt to destroy the place, native men disguised as women being the incendiaries. When they arrived at the building marked as the starting point they told the inma'es what was intended, started a blare and departed without mole tat ion, laugh ing and jeering at the unfortunute householders. The wind, however, spoiled their plans, the flames beiug fanned toward the district occupied by rebel sympathizers. Hustlers They Are. We have before mentioned the hust ling qualities rf G.T. Kearsley & Co., teal estate and financial agents, of this city. Their latest stroke of enter prise, which has come to our not'ee, is a map printed ou the back of their let ter paper showing the position oi Greensboro with relation to other cities. The map embraces that part of the United States from New York to C hicago, then south by St. Louis and Memphis to New Orleans and Key West, thence north along the Atlantie coast to New York. Among all the cities embraced in this territory Greensboro shows up with railroad advantages and location equal to any of them. Contract for Plumbing. The Odell Hardware Company have contracted with Messrs. Wharton & McAlister to do a part of the plumb ing in the latter's new Dunaings on East Market street. The Odell Com pany's contract calls for $3,725. Mr. Wharton says that this will not near complete the work, none of the gas plumbing being embraced in this con tract. Work on the building was resumed yesterday and with good weather it will soon be ready for the plumbers. Something Original.

But hereafter he wanted it under stood that he would oppose any dis pensary bill that came up. It was no time for every little village to be stir ring up the whiskey question Senator Hicks said the dispensary put an end to mixing drinks. Senator Justice said there were two sides of the question of harm from ag itation. It was dangerous to leave a question festering in a community. A roll call was ordered on the amendment and several senators ex plained their votes. Senator Fields said he believed the liquor traffic did more harm than any other one thing. He was for the bill. Senator Ward said he had found the senator from Guilford entirely trustworthy, he therefore voted against the amendment. The roll call on the amendment showed 14 "ayes" and 29 "noes." The vote on the bill was taken and it passed without further opposition. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT.

Democrats Are Not Unanimous In Supporting Butler In His Opposition to Ewart. Special to Thb Tklbgrax. Washington, Feb. 22 Senator Mason, of Illinois, who is a supporter of Judge Ewart in -his fight for con firmation, which is now pending in the United States senate, is of the opinion that provided a vote could be reached that Ewart would be confirmed by a small majority. In spite of the claims made by Senator Butler, Mr. Mason says that his own poll of the senate, if he is not misled, shows that a majority of the senate will vote, if permitted to do so, for confirmation. Senator But ler's course in declining to accede to a request for unanimous consent to take a vote looks as if there might be something in Senator Mason's claims. Senator' Mason in the course of Sena tor Butler's speech in the senate the other day, interrupted the North Caro lina senator, and challenged him to name a single lawyer of repute in North Carolina who is opposed to Judge Ewart's confirmation. Whether Senator Butler could or could not ac- ceptthis challenge, the fact remains that the invitation of the Illinois senator thus far has gone unuanswe,red, and the name of a lawyer opposed to con firmation has not yet been given by Senator Butler. From conversations with North Carolina democrats, it is evident that they are not unanimous in siding with Senator Butler in his opposition to Judge Ewart's confirmation. Judge Ewart has many friends among North Carolina democrats, and many of the latter say that much of the opposition, if not the whole of it, so far as Senator Butler is concerned, is for political purposes, and they can see no reason, after Butler has done all in his -power to disrupt and disorganize the dem ocracy of the state, why they should now help him out by opposing the con firmation of Judge Ewart, who has the confidence of the president and the department of justice. Senator Butler, of North Carolina, has introduced a bill providing for the erection of a public building at Elizabeth City, N. C. Senator Pritchard has introduced a bill granting a pension to Louise D. Smith, of North Carolina, which has been referred to the committee on pen sions. Representative Fowler, of North Carolina, has introduced a bill in the house authorizing the secretary of the treasury to defray the expenses of the contestant in the contest entitled Koonoe vs. Grady. The bill was re ferred to the committee on claims. Representative Crumpacker, of Indiana, will call up in the houce on Thursday the contested election case of Brown against Swanson. The democrats will again raise the ques tion of consideration, and it is said that quite a number of republicans will absent themselves for the purpose of enabling the democrats to get a majority to vote down consideration. Representative Swanson is very popu- ar with all parties, and no doubt is felt as to his retaining hi-- seat in the house. The comptroller of the currency has announced officially the following changes in officers of national banks of North Carolina: The National Bank of Newbern, no vice-president; the Blue Ridge National Bank of Asheville, E. Sluder, assistant cash ier. Among the ushers at the convention of the Daughters of the American Revolution are Missses Campbell and Ramsey, of North Carolina. The ushers are all young ladies selected from the thirteen original states. The convention is largely attended, three delegates from North Carolina being in attendance.

American Joint High Commissioners Will Give No Better Terms. Washington, Feb. 21. Without any purpose to start a flood of .recrimina tions the American members of the joint high Canadian commission feel that they have not been to blame for the failure to reach an agreement, but they are justified in the statement that they have made concession after con cession. It is supposed that reasons of inter nal policy, founded on the belief that they would be in a better position be fore the session of the Parliament just beginning if able to assert that they had refused to sacrifice Canadian in terests have animated Canadian mem bers of the commission in their course. It is just possible that better results may attend, a further conference of the joint body next summe, but while the officials here regret exceedingly the failure so far to reach an agreement it is positively stated that the American side has made its last concession and the Canadians cannot expect better terms hereafter than they have now refused.
