At 5:4r the Senate adjourned. Senator Priteliard appeared before the" committee amt. made an earnest, plea for Ewart. He contended that uion the evidence Ewart was entitled to a favor able report. Should that not be the opinion of the committee he submitted that i'jwart was certainly entitled .tu- have some kind of a report, so the Sen ate could vote! on the case. A general discussion followed Senator Pritchard's talk. Senators Teller and Hoar took the ground that -Ewart was not entitled to a report, that his name should have heen withdrawn long ago, and the Senate having wasted time on this ease, should waste no more, now that the. session was drawing to a close, and time was becoming more valuable each day. Other Senators said that if Judge Ewart and his friends desired a report they should have it. i As stated no vote was taken, but when the committee, adjourned it was with the understanding that an adverse re port would b 'submitted to the commit tee at its meeting next Monday,- and that every member of the committee would sign it; and thus signed it would oe reported to the Senate with unani mous recommendation' that his nomina tion as lederal judge for the Western district of Xorth Carolina be reject ed by Ihe Senate. In' the full Senate the case will then be fought out. Judge Ewart and his friends believing that he is much stronger there than in the .ju diciary Committee. Senator Pritchard will not filibuster against a vote. but. after reasonable explanation, will allow the case to come to an issue. There seen! s to le no reasonable ground for Supposing that the Senate will turn down the unanimous report of its own committee. It never has done so. at least iui recent years. So it would appear that Judge Ewart is almost cer tain to be rejected by the- full Senate. This being the situation, who will suc ceed Judge Ewart is being freely di cussed. 1 lie Post corresixindent i in a position to say that the vacancy will not be filled until after the August elec tion. This leajyos the situation wide open to speculation, whether contingent deals have already been made and whether Senator Pritchard himself may not le forced to take tin? judgeship in certain events which the future now holds, in order to harmonize discordant elements. The bill constituting Durham a port of delivery for Pamlico, passed the House todaf. " All it requires is the President's signature to become a law; Congressman Bellamy's family has joined him at the Aorniandie and will remairf until the close of the session.' The j statistician of the Agricultural Department has announced that no -report will be niade upon the new acreage of cotton until planting is practically completed.

The result, will at once be mado pSiblic. Senator Pritehard left here tonight for Winston, where, wilh Mr. Adams, he will speak on it he amendment Tuesday.

The Taylor authorities here were confident of a decision and strong were their hopes that they had arranged for a celebration in advance. The Beckham government and aunerenis. it anything. were more confident of the success they expected -from the decision of the Su premo Court and had-likewise prepared to celebrate. Every precaution had been taken to prevent a clash between the soldiers. Therpregress in the alleged conspiracy cases, so far as making i tuner arrests i- concerned, is likewise stopped.

Secretary Root was before the House Committee on Military Affairs today concerning th Army Reorganization bill recently pass ed by the Senate. He went over the advantages of the- measure, and was questioned at considerable, leifgth on the proposed increase of the artillery arm and the in-ovisions giiving Miles the rank of lieutenant general and Adjutant General Corbin the rank of major gen eral. The Secretary pointed out that the effect of the bill as passed by the Sen ate was to increase the arury o.OOO or 0,000 entirely in the artillery, this in crease extending over a penoil of years. While differing from the provision orig inally recommended. Mr. Boot approved the Senate amendment, as it would per mit the War Department to go to work and put the artillery in shape. The situation now, in caring for seacoast for tifications, was just as foolish and im practicable, the Secretary said, as would he that of a man who built a fine house, equipped in the most perfect manner. and then went away and left it to take care of itself. There are millions and millions invested in fortifications, he said, with no one to take care ofjtiiem Chairman Hull remarked that the de preciation was estimated at - per cent a year because of tin attention.
