What more can be said? He was a great Senator and a noble man. He was ready to die. He had dis charged life's greatest duty. He was everywhere a gentleman.

Mr. Catchings. tbe leaning miuoi.tj member of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, defended the provision for the improvement of the Mississippi-river, so fiercely attacked by Mr. Hepburn, the other day, characterizing! as the most beneficent feature ofp hieasure.

Mr. Catchings replied at first to the charge made by Mr. Hepburn that the commerce of the Mississippi river is much less than it was forty years ag, and that it is still dwindling. The, gen tleman from Mississippi produced facts and figures to show the error into which Mr. Hepburn had fallen. The .character of the commerce, said Mr. Catchings, had in part changed, because of the growth of railroads in the Mississippi valley, but the volume and value of the river's commerce had wonderfully in ."fb nnd would continue to increase r,s the population and commercial im portance of the Mississippi valley slnll grow. He took , issue with those gentlemen who contend that the Hood waters cf the Mississippi may be held back by storagi reservoirs, at the head waters of the river. The great floods, Mr. Catchings maintained, did not come in great part from the bead waters of the Mississippi. In reply to a question by, Mr. Monfle.l). Mr. Catchings cited the reports , of , the Mississippi River Commission ' to ptpVe that the building of levees does -not raise the bed of the rivers, thereby necessi tating the continual beighteniug of tna levees.

The Narodua Skupsbtina' (national assembly) was opened today by King Alexander. In a speech from tke throne his , majesty declared that his. marriage had st a st.al on his life's happiness. He emphas ized the split with his father (former T.-,,.r Aiiismi sftvinsr that Milan had left tbe. country forever. Therefore he hoped regarding the surveillance of cadets at night and wound up with this: ; "As a matter of fact no officr hi supposed to be awake all night in order to see that these cadets do not get out of barracks?" He replied: "That is true." Colonel Mills also explained that" it was not the purpose Of such sentries of the regular army as were posted at night to observe and report the conduct of cadets. "Had you discovered at the time that Cadet BcVnder was detected in other de linquencies that he was a hazer, known among tne cadets as tne most vmu hazer- in the academy; that- he had a habit of shocking other cadets witn elee triet batteries?" . . The witness replied iu the negative. It developed in the inquiry that Cadet Bender was dismissed in F ebruary 1809. with Cadet Lane, both second class men. Wnkinir into - the almm&tratiou building and falsifying the records They not only took demerits from their own records, either to raise their-class standing, or to render a. Christmas fur lough probable, but changed the records of cloven other cadets. - It was -charged asrinst Bender and "'Lane also that they broke into the cadet fommissarv and stole" $100 wo,th of postage stamps, a .set of engineering instruments and" other articles. The colonel went on to say that in spite ot the vigilance of the tactical department but ttvo of the many fights that had been testified to as having been held here had come to the knowledge of ,he authorities since he became supermtc mi sjudge Smith asked if the enforcement of resulations Avas intrusted almost en t'relv.to the ten tactical officers at the academy ; out of the seventy-one sta tioned there? . " The colonel said that it was so. In de fense of the academy authorities he went on to say that he thought fighting would soon cease any way and that he i.i;t-0,i thnt if there had been "O necei- sitv for the two investigations of hazing, the evils-which caused' the creation of ilie military- court and the present com mittee would have disappeared in the lu-xt two vears. "I believe that the best thin" to do is to abolish hazing and hhtW is to create a sentiment in the (.orps "against thein. and that 1 " have striven to do;" said Colonel Mills. 'I i.-n-e represented to the cadets that the cmlv legitimate kind of a fight was that which followed the resentment of an in sult on the spot."

Monday. - ttM to whom -the bill was submit.'ied for "consideration, was unable to reach a' unanimous agreiement, so maioritv and minority reports will be submitted. Mr. Hayes of Chatham sub mitted .the majority, rpport, which was signed by. three members of the com mittee and Judge Graham of Granville -who is mmosed to the- increase in thy sala'rv of the Governor, asked that the matter go over until Monday in order that he might have time to prepare a miHorJiy report, setting forth the reasons of the minority for opposing the measure. The belief is tnar tno measure uo i. the- House, and a largo number of Kep-1-esen'tatives are in favor of amenduig the bill, which came over irom f -at, so as to make the salary of th Governor $5,000. Representative Hayes of Chatham brought the matter before the House in presenting the majority report, ' which recommended that the bill pass as it came ' from the Seriate. Oppostd by Grabwii he would offer a minority report. He said that tne -committee had the bill un- der consideration during the inorning, and that members were unable to reach a decision. He stated that the meosuro was one of the most;: important tnui , would eome before the. Geiieral Assem bly, and he asked that further considera--. Hon of the bill be' postponed until' Motl dav. Continuing, Judge "Graham a id: "We had to cocsider the bill hurriedly before the committ?e. The minority does not think that the passage cf the bill will help the administration. e do not think it is- an opportune time to take this action, and we do not believe tbe laws of the State will irmit it. We wish to have time to submit our objections in the form - of a minority report. The matter of increasing, the Governor's salary was considered in the fiftpn x-psiis niro.
