SEABOARD A RECORD BREAKER The House Passes 91 Private Pension Bills at One Session. SENATE. One Hundred and Forth Day After a brief debate the Senate agreed to the conference report on the Hawaiian civ il government bill, the provisions rela ting to the right of franchise and im prisonment for debt having been amen ded to conform to the ideas of the Sen ate. The agricultural appropriation bill was passed, carrying a little over $3,000,000. It aroused no discussion of consequence, although the committee amendment's reduction cf the amounts appropriated for farmers' bulletins and or the distribution of seeds were dis agreed to. The resolution declaring Nathan B. Scott to be entitled to his seat as a Senator from West Virginia was discussed by Mr. McComas, of Ma ryland, but its consideration was noc concluded. The Alaskan civil govern ment bill was under consideration for an hour, but no progress was made. At the conclusion of routine business Mr. Cullom presented the conference report on the Hawaiian bill. He ex plained that the principal changes were the elimination of the provisions requiring the payment of taxes before registration to vote, and imprisonment for debt for nonpayment of taxes. One Hundred and Fifth Day. Al most the entire day was devoted to the consideration of the right of Na than B. Scott, of West Virginia, to re tain his seat in the Senate. Mr. Pet tus, Alabama, who alone of the mem bers of the committee on privileges and elections is opposed to the claini of Mr. Scott to a seat, made an elabor ate argument to sustain his views. Mr. Morgan, Alabama, spoke in favor of his colleague's contention. Mr. McCo mas, Maryland, Mr. Turley, Tennessee, Mr. Chandler, New Hampshire, Mr. Teller, Colorado, and Mr. Allen, Ne braska, addressed the Senate in sup port of the resolution declaring Mr. Scott entitled to 'his seat. The case went over without action. A resolution introduced by Mr. Per kins, California, calling on the Secre tary of the Treasury to send to the Senate the imports by months and the rates of duty under the reciprocal agreement that went into effect in 189S, was adopted. One Hundred and Sixth Day. "ine Senate voted upon the resolution de claring Nathan B. Scott to be entitled to his seat in the Senate from West Virginia. The number of votes in the negative was only 3. Mr. Chandler gave notice that he would call up the case of Senator Clark, of Montana, on Wednesday of next week, but inti mated that he would not press con sideration until the Senators could have time to reau the testimony in the case. Mr. Money, of Mississippi, by unanimous consent, called, up a bill to amend an act to provide for the col lection of abandoned property and the prevention of frauds in insurrection ary districts within the United States. One hundredth and seventh day. The following bills were passed: For the establishment, control, operation and maintenance of the northern branch cf the National Home for Dis abled Volunteer Soldiers at Hot Springs in South Dakota, and appro priating $150,000 for the purpose. 'Requiring that the dam across Rainy Lake river, Minnesota, be com menced within three years and com pleted within five years from May, 4, 1S9S. Appropriating $2,400 to be paid cer tain persons for improvements relin quished to the United States for the use of Nez Perce Indians. To authorize Commander J. M. Mil ler, United State Navy; Surgeon O. D. Norton, United States Navy; and Ed win V. Morgan, formerly secretary of the Savoan commission and now sec retary cf the legation of the United States at Seoul, Corea, to accept pres ents tendered them by the Emperor of Germany. HOUSE. One Hundred and Forth Day Without preliminary business the? House resumed consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill. The item appropriating $725,000 for pneumatic tube service, an increase of $500,000 over the appropriation for the current year was the subject of two hours de bate under tne arrangement previous ly made. Mr. Little, of Arkansas, opposed the pneumatic tube service, which he held was unnecessary and the charges for service in New York, he said, were outrageously exorbitant. The govern ment was paying $37,000 a mile rental for 6-inch iron pipe beside the cost of operating the machines. After mature deliberation the House refused to pass the bill. One Hundred and Fifth Day. After iour days of discussion the House com pleted the consideration of the Postof fice appropriation bill and passed it. The attempt to strike out the $196,000 for special mail facilities from New York to New Orleans and from Kan sas City to Newton, Kansas, met the fate it has ever since the appropria tion was placed in the bill in 1893. No one demanded a separate vote upon the amendment striking out the pneumat ic tube provision, and the House by a large majority, stood by the amend ment to give extra compensation to letter carriers for work in excess of forty-eight hours a week, although the carriers were said by Mr. Cummings, New York, to be opposed to it. The bill to increase the salary of the Direc tor of the Census to $7,500 and the sal aries of supervisors of census by two per cent, or the amount" received by their enumerators was passed. The final conference report on the Hawa iian government bill was presented, uux not actea upon, owing to the ab sence of a quorum. One Hundred and Sixth Day. The House broke all records by passing 91 private pension bills. Among them was one granting $40 a month to the widow of the late Col. Jhon M. Stot zenberg, off the First Nebraska, who was killed in the Philippines. The con ference report on the Hawaiian gov ernment Mil was adopted, 118 to 114, and the bill now goes to the Presi dent. Saturday, May 19, was set aside for receiving the statute of U. S. Grant, presented to the government. One hundred and seventh day. The House broke all records by passing 91 private pension bills.Among them was one granting $40 a month to the wid ow of the late Colonel Jo!hn M. Stote enberg, of the First Nebraska, who was killed in the Philipines a year ago.

Winston-Salem, Special. Robbers broke into the postoffice at Moores viHe Wednesday night, blew open the safe and stele one thousand dollars in money and stamps. A hole the size of a lead pencil was drilled in the safe before the powder was applied. The explosion broke several glasses in the windows and the safe was turned over. Parties near tihe postoffice heard the expdiosinhtidshrdlu mbfwy vbgk qfdw explosion, but paid no attention to it. Dies From Poison. Charlotte, Special. Ulysses B. Wil liams, who came here from Wake county, slowly died Thursday morn ing from the effects of a drug taken witRout the knowledge of his family. His wife sat up with Williams until 10 o'clock and then went to sleep. She woke at 2 in the morning and found her husband struggling for breath. It is supposed that Williams took the drug in order to end his life. Death of an Inventor. San Francisco, Special. A. S. Hall die, builder and inventor of the first cable car system in the United States, died at his home from heart disease. He was president of the California Wire Works and a regent of the Uni versity of California. He was a na tive of Scotland, aged 73 years. Tar Heel Notes. Thomas Tyndall, aged 17. years, of Lenoir county, was killed by lightning, Thursday morning. A horse he was riding was also killed. Thus far in 1900 twenty-two cotton and knitting mills have been charter ed in North Carolina, with an aggre gate subscribed capital of $2,565,000. Judge Moore has decided in favor of the corporation commission and against the railroads in the case in vrMng a reduction of the freight rate on fertilizers that is making ten tons 'the minimum car load. The railroads will, of course, appeal. This decision applies to all the roads save the Caro lina Central, which has its case in the federal court. From what we can learn now about planting time the cotton acreage will' be considerably increased this year in this section. Some farmers will al most entirely abandon tobacco cul ture, while others will reduce the acreage in that crop, putting the dif ference in cotton. If they are going to make a big cotton crop and want anything for at, they should be es pecially interested in helping to estab lish cotton mills. Greenville Reflec tor. John Lucky, colored, came here from Salisbury to-day to have the mad stone applied to a wound on his leg, made by the bite of a dog, sup posed to be mad. Lucky came to Charlotte to have the mad stone ap plied, but when he got here he found that the stone, unlike the gospel, is not free to all,' an application costing $5. He phoned to Salisbury for the money, and as soon as it comes will have the stone applied. Charlotte News. ' , . . RICH COPPER MINE. It Was Worked Before the War andls Very Rich. Sparta, Special. Somewhere be tween 1850 and 1860 this country, though sparsely settled, invited into its borders some capitalists to develop its timber and mining resources. Be fore this we had no enterprise in our country to enliven the people and en courage them in lines of industry. At that period a. copper mine was discov ered near Elk Creek postoffice and af terwards known as Peach Bottom Cop per Mines. They were almost out of reach of any railroads being about fifty miles from the Norfolk and West ern on the noirth and about one hun dred miles from what is now the Southern on the south, but they work ed constantly for many years, when they concluded that the inconvenience to shipping points rendered it impos sible to work the mines ith any pro fit, and it was closed eighteen years ago. For several years since the mine and the property around has been mi tigation in the case of Maxwell vs. Long. This case was carried from the Superior court to the Federal court, and from there to the Court of Ap peals, where it was decided in favor of Maxwell. Large sums 'have foeen offered for the property but no sale was consum mated till last fall, -When under the supervision of Mr. Geo. Sshley, from New York, the property was pur chased at a large sum and is now known as the Carolina Mining Com pany. The old shafts have been cleaned out and work will probably begin next month. The directors will meet at Grand Rapids, Mich., at an early date to discuss the working of the mine and the reduction and con centration methods. Over one hun dred hands will be given employment. The mine is 150 feet deep showing a nine foot vein of ore and can pro duce from 100 to 200 tens per day as soon as hoisting machinery is plac ed. The ore and water are now be ing hoisted by horse-power, but later on a pump will be used for water and ore "will be raised by steam and cages. Compressed air drills will also pure chalcopyrite. When concentrat ed, it will run approximately, 34 per cent, copper, 31 per cent, sulphur and 35 per cent, iron-the admixture being a very ismall amount of lead. The injurious ingredients, such as arsenic, antimony, and zinc, are only found in traces, which enhances the value of the ore. When concentration has be gun it will be reduced from 15 tons to one. Gold and silver are also found in" small quantities from two to four dollars per ton. It is said that the ore contains a viously tried, and also leading only producing a sulphate of copper. It is large percentage of nickel. Options have been taken about four miles on this vein and it looks as if the coun try would soon be in fine shape. The company is also' interested in timber They own about 740 acres cf land 200 of which is fine timber land. They have recently prospected cn graphite mines near here and own several oth er mines, but the work s.nd develop ment of these will be discussed at the meeting of the directors. It will be interesting to note that the copper in the cannon used by General Page during the civil war came from this mine. The State geologist will be furnish ed with a report and man of the mine later on. Mr. George Schley, under whose supervision the mine is being worked, and who is vice-president of the company, is a native born south erner was raised in Georgia, and is in full sympathy with the South. He lhas had much experience in mining having been in the business over twenty years. Completing his course in Germany foe came back to Ameri ca at twenty-one years of age and has worked in various of the United States and Mexico. The people among whom he has come think the com pany could not have entrusted its work to a better man, and they alsd admire him because e is a cousin tc Admiral Schley. We have a fine coun try here amd only need capital to de velop it. News Items. Judge Simonton has made permanent the appointment of Mr. P. S. Hill oi New York, as receiver of Blackwell's Durham Toibacco Company of Dur Hiam. The son of Lord Chancellor Ash bourne, of Ireland, favors a return to kilts the Green Isle's original uni form for the new Irish Guards. Additional concessions have been given the United States at the Paris Exposition. The Sublime Porte is reported from Constantinople to have made certain promises with relation to the claims of this government, but they have not been received at the State Depart ment. Attendance at the Paris Exposition continues large. The Senate committee on appropria tions has compxeted consideration of the fortification appropriation bill. Tho total appropriation is $7,733,628. The additions include an item of $135,000 for the building sites on Sullivan's Island, Charleston harbor. Advices from London say that the Sublime Porte considers its offer to rebuild American missions will close tiie question. The Sultan believes that Russia would oppose any attempt on the part of Americans to enforce a payment. Ex-United States Minister Terrell, in an interview, defended the iSultan and declared him a much ma ligned and an honest man. Representative Stokes, of South Car olina, proposes the collection and pres ervation, at Government expense, of the public records of the States and Territories.

PORTO Whether Our Neir Possessions Are or Ar Not Already Integral Parts of the Na tion Under tlio Constitution An Arti cle WliicU Clears Up tine Situation. "Keep the real issue in sight, and let the President anil the party be judged by that," is the wise conclu sion of a very able article in the Se attle Post-Intelligencer on the Porto Bican question. Obviously this ex cellent editorial treatment of a much discussed subject is the product of some knowledge and some thinking. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of a vast volume of matter that has found its way into print relative to the Porto Ricau topic. No writer has stated tho issue more clearly or more intelligently than it is stated by the Post-Intelligencer, thus: "It is not a question whether we ought to impose a duty of twenty-five per cent, or one of fifteen per cent, 01 none at all upon commerce between that island and the United States. It is whether this Government has con stitutional power to levy such a tax under any circumstances; whether Porto Rico is territory to be governed as all other territory added has been, by the disposition of Congress, or whether its people acquired, by the treaty of Paris, constitutional right? within the United States that couipe recognition by us and leave us n( choice but to acknowledge the new possessions as an integral part of th natiou under the Constitution, and finally to admit them as States." Eightly the Post-Intelligencer in sists that the contest is not waged on the question whether Porto Rican trade should be free or untaxed. The opposition to the bill is based upon no such consideration. It cares nothing about the question either of tariff or of revenue. Engineered by clevei free trade and anti-imperialist strate gists, the movement, intended solely to "put the administration in a hole," has secured the adhesion of a consid erable number of Republicans who seem to be unable to discover the use that i3 being made of them. They are apparently blind to the fact, so clearly pointed out by the Post-Intelligencer, that "the constitutional question is th real bone of contention. The Repub lican party cannot abandon its position upon that without reversing all onr precedents and destroying the practi cal possibility of buiidiug up a mighty commerce in the. Far East by exchang ing for the open door in the Philip pines the open door in the vast por tion of Asia under European control "We believe that those who have differed honestly from the party's policy in this particular will agree with it when they come to see what is in volved; and how cunningly the advo cates of retirement from the Philip pines have sought to make that neces sary by a pretended fight over the t,...- 't;,, t;flp 1 uiiu xbiuuu laiiu. If only the army of dissenters from the policy of the Republican adminis tration and the Republican party could once grasp the idea that a much big ger and more portentous question than that of twenty-five per cent., fifteen per cent., or no toriff at all is involved in the Porto Rican proposition, it would mightily help to clear up the situation. DIRECT CONSEQUENCE. Why Wage Earners Are Sharing So Lib. erally In Jim pi oyer 8 Profits. In the current news of the day occur two announcements of more than ordi nary significance. In a dispatch from Charleston, S. C, we are told that "The York Cotton Mills of Yorkville, this State, yesterday announced that they would on next pay day chip three percent, from the annual dividend and add it to the wages of operatives. The wages of some of the employes had recently been increased thirty-three per cent. These were not included in the increase- yesterday. President Ashe says: " 'We cannot help foresee that there must be an end of the present boom. some day, and if we ever get back to the depression of a few years ago, just as we voluntarily increase wages now we will be compelled to reduce them. ' " On the same date the following state mentis made in a telegram from Phila delphia. In accordance wito. their notice posted shortly after January 1, 1900, promising au advance to tneir em ployes, to take . effect April 1, 1900, the Berwind-White Coal Mining Com pany to-day notified aU their, miners of a general average advance of twenty per cent. The miners are now placed upon a basis of sixty cents per gross ton, nnd all day labor increased ac cordingly. This advance will make the wages paid the highest during the past thirty years, and in some in stances the highest that have ever ex isted by nearly seven per cent." This is what is aimed at in the sys. tern of protection to American labor and industry namely, that those who work for wages shall be the gainers through the profits accruing to their employers. As a direct result of the great prosperity which has come to the country since the election of Will iam McKinley, and the consequent reinstatement of the thoroughly Ameri can policy of first taking good care of Americans and of regarding the for tunes of foreigners as a secondary con sideration, wages and employment have increased enormously ia the United States, and the general rate of wages is in nearly all lines of industry the highest ever known. Tho 1(1 sins; Tide. Ho sectionalism in Prosperity. Mr. Jay O. Morse, the President of the Moss National Bank of Sandusky, Ohio, and a man who is connected with several railroads in that section of the country, says: "Manufacturers in our district are justas bnsy as ever, laborers are well employed, merchants report trade aclive and profitable, while the rail roads actually have more than they can do. There is, in short, no reces sion or depression." There is prosperity in a nutshell, or rather the story in a nutshell. The prosperity itself is manifestly too im mense to be confined within any bounds. It extends from manufac turer to day laborer, from the rail road magnate to the poorest brake man. It i3 he kind of prosperity which the country knows, which every section of the country knows when ever the American policy of protec tion is ia force. The prosperity which flows from protection knows no North,, no South, no East, no West, but only one country, the interests of whoso people are the eame and in which tho prosperity of every man is bound up with the prosperity of every other man. Bad Tor the Calamity Party. Prosperity stories have taken tho place of calamity croakings in Kansas, and Mr. Bryau is wondering what he 3an do to regain his former hold upon the ears of those who no longer find him interesting. The story is told of an old farmer who, at the point of a shotgun, compelled a creditor to ac cept payment of a note before it fell due. "Why did he do that?" some one asked the narrator. "Oh, he wanted to stop the interest," was tho reply. John W. Breidcnthal, the State Bank Commissioner, tells of a banker out in tho short grass country who wrote a letter csking if there was any law that would compel him to receive money for deposit ia his bant. "I wrote him," said Brei denthal, ' "that if ho had more money than he knew what to do with, I knew of no law in Kansas that would com pel him to take more. You see, they were paying their taxes, and tho County Treasurer wanted to make a depository out of his bank, but he would be mandamused befoio ho would submit to it." All this looks bad for the political party and candidate who hope to win by reviving the free trade cud free silver issues of tho Chicago platform. Smoke Drove lllm Away. An Iowa turkey roosted ou the top of a chimney, cut off tho escape of the smoke and gas and came near asphyx iating the occupants of tho house. Mr.1 Bryan has been spreadiug his wings over the stacks of tho New England mills, but the volume of smoke emerg ing from the furnace lires is too great to enable him even to approach the performance of tho Iowa turkey. Washington Post. Opposed to All Keclprocily Treutlen. The war to fierht theso treaties is not to spend all our strength in ex posing the gross injustice done to this State iu these particular cases, but to attack the principle involved. It is utterly vicious. Nd reciprocity treaty cau be negotiated whose effect is not to directly and without compensation .take money from one class of onr 'citizens and bestow it elscwhero at ithe caprice of tho negotiator of tho jtrealy. It is a relic of mediievali'Mu; it should have no place ou the statu t j jbook of any civilized nation. Fight 'not merely tbeso treaties but all lfcci procify treaties. Let us endlhewholu business onco for all. Saa Fiiiucisjo Chronicle. It Puzzles Bryan. Bryan says he cannot explain tho fact that in cities where he addressed the largest audiences in 1896 he re ceived the smallest vote ia proportion to the number voting. Wherever Bryan spoke he virtually proposed to pay off wage earners in fifty-cent sil ver dollars. Wherever McKinley spoke he never failed to tell the peo ple of the vast importance of work and wages for every American who needs a job. And it wouldn't sur prise some people to bs told that these little statements might accouut for quite a large proportion of the re sult at the polls. Howling Kryanlte Free-Trad era. Ia 1896 Eryanites yowled and screeched that prices were too low, and that if Bryan were elected higher prices would most surely prevail. Hat if McKinley were elected the Pnce of everything would fall aud business and the nation would be ruined. Yet now that prices are higher, but Mostly because higher wages prevail and everybody can have work, the eryanites are howling like wolves about high prices. Nothing on earth cau ever' satisfy JSryanite free-traders except low prices of foreign fabrics for genteel idlers. wuu one or two million wage earners 'ooiciug m vain for jobs while our cod- ",aa astocracy can buy things awful cueap, and everything will be as nico as can be, don'tcher know?
