Before taking his seat he expressed the f hope that tomorrow or next day the Senate- would fix upon a time for taking a vote on the bill. Mr. Clay (Dem.) addressed the chair, and Mr. Frye who' was still on the floor, responded, "The Senator from Georgia," and-instantly, amid laughter, r.polcgized for his having forgotten that he was not in the chair. The Jill was laid aside as the unfin ished business after Mr. Clay had given notice that he would address the Senate tomorrow. The Legislative Appropriation bill was reported from the Committee on Ap propriations by Mr. Cullom (Hep.) who gave notice that he would call It up tomorrow. At 3 p. m. the Senate pro ceeded to executive business, and at 3:10 adjourned until tomorrow. Raral Delivery In the Hon Washington. March 4. When the House met today tlie pending question was on the adoption of -the conference report upon the Philippine Tariff bill. On a rising division the vote stood ayes, 00: noes. 6.". Messrs. McCall of Mas sachusetts, Heatwole of Minnesota and Littlefield of Maine (Republicans) voted with the Democrats against the adoption of the report. Mr. Payne, the majority leader, then demanded the ayes and noes and the roll was called. The report was adopted 138 to 109. Messrs. Littlefield. McCall and Heat wole voted with the Democrats against the adoption of the report. The House then went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the hill to classify the rural free de livery service and place the carriers under the contract system. Mr. Landis of Indiana, the first speak er today, opposed the bill. Most of the shame and disgrace cast upon the gov ernment in the pasK he Jjaid, had been in connection with te contract system. Mr. Maddox of Georgia also spoke against the bill. He predicted that if the contract system was established in the South negroes would carry the mails below Mason and Dixon's line. Mr. Smith of Kentucky advocated the passage of the bill. He thought that policy would continue to cwutrol in the appoiutmeut of carriers; nevertheless, ha believed the bes- and cheapest service could be obtained through the contract system. ..... In a colloquy-with Mr. Landis. Mr. Gardner said the question of salaries with city carriers was not involved in the present consideration. He warned jthe House against the-growing political 'in fluence of th rural carriers, already in his opinion, dangerous in the House. The bill was antagonized by Mr. Hill of Connecticut who advocated the con tinuance of the salary system with horse and wagon allowance as the best and fairest method of dealing with the ser vice. The day's discussion was closed by Mr. Williams of Mississippi in support of the bill, at the conclusion of which the committee rose. At 5:05 the House adjourned until tomorrow. build a bridge across Xeuse river at Kiustonj It i necessary to secure sucti consent to build bridges over naviga ble streams when? the government has made improvements.. Mr. .J. W. Lynch, president of the iroad, wants to begin work right away, and Congressman Kkchin will exert himself to hurry up the wheels of legislation. The North Carolina delegation has not conferred about the report of the House Itiver and Harbor Committee, which is a disappointment to practically the entire delegation. . As soon as Sen a:or l'ritchard and Congressman Bella my return a meeting will likely be held. It is especially desired that an appro priation be" made for the improvement of the upper Cape ' Fear -towards Fay etteville. A fight to accomplish this will be made in the Senate. Few states have as much coast as North Carolina, and yet the state., is not represented on the Kiver and Harbor Committee. Speaker Henderson had signified his intention of appointing Mr. Bellamy on the House committee, but unfortunately no vacancy has occurred. As soon as one does occur Mr. Bellamy will' be assigned to tho committee, and he will then be in a position to look out for North Carolina's interests in the House. 1 Congressman Claude Kitchin said to day that the reason no appropriation was made for the improvement of Ro anoke river is that there is a balance of several thousand dollars remaining in the treasury for that purpose. For that reason the chief engineer did not. recommend an appropriation. No appropriation is made without such recommendation. The-engjneer reported that the 'Fkshiug Creek project had been completed, but Congressman Kitchin wiil offer an amendment iu the House for a two, thousand dollar appropriation for Fishing creek. . Frank Koonce of Onslow is here. lie has a claim for seven thousand dollars for property destroyed during the war. Today he was given a hearing before the sub-committee on Claims of which Claude Kitchin is a member. The Philadelphia National. League team's will train in Washington. N. C. The Phillies will leave for North Caro lina by steamer March Oth and return April 10th. Congressman Bellamy has gone to Raleigh. Before leaving he paired on the rural carrier bill, being opposed to the measure. Cen. Julian S. Carr was registered at the Raleigh "today, but lert this after noon. Other arrivals are Dr. D. II.

Representa tive Richardson of Tennessee, minority j leader of the House, authorized the an Inouncement today that on account of 'his health he will not again assume 'the j chairmanship of the Democratic Con gressional C ampaign comtyittee. Sena tor Clark of Montana and Representa tive (Jriggs of (ieorgia are prominently mentioned among those most likely to succeed him. The eastern and nothern Democrats protest against Mr. Griggs, asserting, as the South is safely Dem ocratic, it would be berter policy to put in a man familiar with . conditions in the debatable sections. CHARTER ATTACKED Trouble in Another Quarter for Northern Securities ' Company Trenton. N. J.. March 4. Senator Geb hard (Democrat) of Hunterdon intro duced a bill in the Senate today to re peal and dissolve the charter and corpo rate existence of the Northern Securi ties Company. The bill has a long pre amble in which it is stated, among other things, that the company was organized to enable the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to violate the laws of several states and interfere with their revenues and also to destroy the competition in passenger and freight rates that existed between certain railroads. The pre amble goes on (to say that the organiza tion has aroused great public iudigua tiou and that the governor of Minnesota has already instituted suit to prevent the consummation of the illegal, injurious purposes sought to lie accomplished by the formation of the Northern Securities Company. The bill was referred to the commit tee on corporations. $ . . At Sea With Propeller Broken London. March 4. The British steam er Ottowa, from Philadelphia for Lon don, has arrived at Fayal. Azores Islands, and reports having sighted the Canard line steamer Etruria in tow of the British steamer' William Cliff, 400 miles west of Fayal. The Etruria had lost her propeller. Another report says the Etruria was picked up when 500 miles from Fayal, west-northwest of Strikers in Full Saving in Norfolk Cast Night Barricaded Streets After Stopping the Cars Clash Between Troops and Sympathizers Norfolk. March 4. There was a clash this afternoon between strike sympa thizers and the soldiers who are guard ing the property of the street railway company. One man was wounded.'; The crowd of strikers ' and sympathizers, driven from. Main and Bank streets, moved up Church street and there ob structed the passage of cars. A soldier tried to stop three of the rioters. L. Kel ley, James Elwell and Cohen from ob structing a car and stabbed Cohen with his bayonet, not seriously, however. Next a woman, Cohen's wife or sister, threw her arm about- Cohen and struck the soldier in the face. Whn Lieuten ant Gayle, commanding the detachment. came and interfered sh? struck him sev eral times in the face with her clenched fist. Cohen. Kelley and Elwell were arrested by the soldiers. After the fight in which Cohen was hurt and his wife struck Lieutenant Gayle with her fist the street was ob structed by the mob and the cars ceased running and were tied up in the btrn. Tonight probably four hundred strike sympathizers are barricading Church street so that it will require many hours to clear it. The troops were Withdrawn Slavery in the Philippines as Told by Governor Ta ft Washington. March 4. The extent of slavery in the Philippines was discussed by Governor Taft lvefore this House in sular committee today in response to Questions bv members. He said slavery was confined to tne sournern .uoru islands. The investigation made by Gov ernor Taft and his associates bad brought out that the slaves included men. women and children, who were slaves for debt, According to .state ments made by Governor Taft the slaves could buy their liberty, but until this was done the condition ran from genera tion to generation. The shwres were members of the family and the relation was comparatively mild, if it was possi ble to consider any form of slavery mild. Governor Taft said Dato Maud had al ready abolished slavery by decree. . 'It indicates." said Governor Taft, "how willing they are to. consider the desires and the possibilities of eradi cating the system.' , f He had never recognized slavery iri any way, he said, and the military had always released slaves. But the slaves did not understand the advantage of liberty, and Governor Taft said that if we attempted to abolish slavery by force we would probably find- the slaves turn ing their guns against us. The influence of the United States Avas. however, growing stronger and stronger for. the eradication of slavery. Governor Taft - said hat he and his associates had sought to learn the num that port. All were well on board the Gunarder, ".which-, according to this re port, -bad; her .. propeller tdiaft broken. She was otherwise uninjured. Previous to the receipt of the news that the Etru ria had ' been sighted in tow the re insurance on the Cunard liner at Lloyds today wasr about four guineas per cent. Little busiues was Joiie at that rate. War Vessels Sail for Colon . Washington. Marcfi 4. Word has-been received by the navy departmentthat the North Atlantic Squadron sailed yes terday from Cienfuegos. Cuba, for Colon, Colombia.-. The squadron, including the battleships Kearsarge and Indiana, is the most powerful . ever assembled by the United States in time of peace. It will, it is believed, have a quieting effect, and will prevent damage to American property 'interests iu that troubled state. Two colliers are now proceeding- with coal from Norfolk, where they Avill meet and join the squadron, probably off Vene zuela. - GOODS ROADS IN VIRGINIA Object Lesson Road to Be Built and a Convention to Follow Washington, March 4. There is to be a big-time at and near Charlottes ville next month. The people down there have formed the Jefferson Memorial Road Association, and March 24th they will begin constructing what they cal "an object leeson road." The road is to be finished "'April 4, and on that day and the two preceding days there will be speeches and appropriate exercises. The Inter-state Good Roads, Association will begin its session in Charlottesville April 2. Invitations to attend have been extended to , President Roosevelt, the members of 'the president's'' cabinet, senators'. '-and representatives in Con grtes, the governors of all the states and territories and a host of other pub lic men. The Agricultural Department' has endorsed the "object lesson road" and Secretary Wilson will address he convention. Gen. Fitz Lee and Gov. Montague of '.Virginia will attend. Held for Murder Greensboro. N. CT. March 4. Special. John and Emily Hubbard, the negroes charged with the murder of Seymour Shoffner, a young white man, of . Greene township, ten days ago, were given a preliminary hearing this afternoon and were remanded to jail to await trial at the next tertaof Superior Court. from the streets in the city when the cars ceased running and the strikers have a clear field tonight within the city limits. They are not boisterous, but are quietly working. Driven away from one point by the police, they re sume operations at another one. Th?y declared tonight That they woild keep the bricks of which the burned Atlantic Hotel was constructed and use them in barricading the streets. They seem ed to consider this especially funny be cause the hotel was owned by the Wil liams interest of Richmond, which also controls the Norfolk Street Ralway. Some of the strikers said they would do something worse tonight. The po lice force is inadquate to guard the wide area over which the railway lines ex tend, and besides, they and the soldiers are largely iu sympathy with the strik ers. ' . ' Twelve strike breakers, imported from I-exing'ton, Ky., who arrived t.onigh: were waylaid as they passed up the street in carriages. Eight reached the car bam. one escaped and thiee were severely beaten by strikers and their frands. They were afterwards lodged in the stat'oii house to save them fiom the mob. The majority of the police and sol diers seem to be friendly to the strik ers' cause. There appears every indi cation of serious trouble before the strike shall be settled. ber of slaves with the idea that we might buy them and avert the exercise of force, but when the natives learned of it they all represented themselves as slaves. The governor estimated about one-fourth of this southern population as slaves, or from 250,000 to 300.000 in a initiation of 1,000,000 to 1,500,"00. When asked how many sultans there were Governor' Taft answered that sul tans and datos were as numerous as barons in Germany or justices of the peace in the United States. In reply to a question by Mr. Patterson Governor Taft stated that the slaves were punished by their masters and whipping was not unknown to them, al though there was little severity. The slaves were subject to sale, but he did uot know of any separating of mothers from their children. Governor Taft said that the Spanish trade in the Philippine had been larger since the American occupation than it had ever been before. In his testimony this morning before the Senate Philippines Committee Gen eral Hughes related iudetail the story of the massacre of American troops at Balangiga -last September. He stated that in Iloilo a soldier of the Twenty sixth I'nited States volunteers was caught by the people and killed. Before he died he was forced to eat rice mixed with offal. They disemboweled him and partially dismembered him. The Windy City Gives Prince Henry a Good Time A Reminder of the Father land in the Entertainment Provided by the Ger mania Club Chicago, March 4. The Chicago which Prince Henry of Prussia saw last night by the glare of many, lights was tre- sented to him today by the clearer light of the sun. The welcome which he re jcelved last night was repeated and em phasized, and he was given further op portunity to enjoy liis expressed desire to meet American citizens at close range. During the day he listened to an address from the Central Bund of St. Paul, placed a wreath on the Lineojji monu ment in Lincoln park and -enjoyed a luncheon and reception at tue Germauia club. The prince, contrary to expectation, arose early, but . he was no more ener getic than the crowd. By 8:30 o'clock fully 3.000 people packed the sidewalks in front of the hotel Photographers stood at every vantage point ready to take snapshots of the prince when he emerged. It was nearly 10 o'clock be fore their patience was rewarded. The prince, having two hours at his dis posal, concluded that a drive about the city would give him most pleasure. Fournier, the French chauffeur, stood ready to take the "prince for a-mile-a-niinute whirl about the boulevards, but the latter decided In favor of a carriage, in order that membersof his entourage might' also enjoy the bracing morning air. The first stop was made at the mag nificent new building of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank. President John W. Mitchell showed the prince through the institution. The Rookery, one of. the city's finest office buildings, was next visited. It is but a short block .from tne. -bank and the prince disdained to enter his carriage for the trip. With a stride which, a pedestrian might have envied he strode through the hall, while the detectives guarding him quickened their steps to keep up. ' Both at the bank and the Rookery the. stops were not so brief that the news . did not have time to fly up and down the street,-and in both instances when he came out crowds awaited him and cheered lustily. The prince seemed pleased at the dem onstrations and repeatedly touchedhis cap in a courteous manner. In the car riage with him were Robert T. Lincoln. Mayor Harrison and Rear Admiral Evans. The mayor and Mr. Lincoln pointed out the objects of interest which were passed. In .this manner the prince was shown through the retail and whole sale districts. A short stop was made at the public linrarj where the prince said to Mayor Harrison that the city was to be congratulated on possessing such a magnificent building. The presentation of an address by Governor Van Sant of Minnesota was the first detail on the day's official pro gram. The prince received the governor and a committee accompanying him in his private parlor after he had eaten breakfast. Governor Van Sant's meeting with the prince was marked by an amusing epi sode. The prince, after expressing h' gratitude and, thanks far the Governor's kind words, intimated that he would like to greet the members of his staff, who, attired in military uniforms, stood at a respectful distance. The governor was gratified and promptly said: "All right, prince, all -right." Then Minne sota's executive started toward his fellow-delegates, but observing -the prince hesitated. Van Sant. with- his finger, beckoned toward the prince and hur riedly exclaimed: "Come on. come on." The prince seemed somewhat astonished at the apparently unusual method of ad dressing him, but finally grasped the sitiwtion and advanced toward the colo nels of Minnesota and was introduced, receiving three cheers and a tiger for his . condecension. During the morning the prince receiv ed little BarlKtra Ozburii, 10 years Old. The little miss had been passed along the line by the kind help of tiie detec tives, with a portrait of the prince burn ed in basswood by her own hands, ready to present to the- royal visitor. Beam ing a smile of welcome, the prince ex tended a hand to his wee visitor and accepted the pictui'e. He spoke of its worth and how he would treasure i1' dearly, and then in turn gave Barbara. an autograph album with a parting sa lute By 11, o'clock all those who were to accompany the prince during the day assembled at the auditorium. Without delay the party entered the carriages waiting to convey it to Lincoln Park and the Germauia Club. In nearly every door and window along th 1 streets where the prince passed cu rious faces were to be seen. Handker chiefs were waved at him from the win dows and the crowds along the streets shouted greeting. The prince was kept busy touching his cap in response. A dense crowd numbering thousands Wfls massed about the sombre statue of the great Lincoln when the prince and h's entourage came upon the scene. Cries of "Hoch der kaiser," and "Hurrah for lleinrich" were numerous, making a thunderous volume of welcoming sound. The representative of . the German em peror, grave'but of pleasant mien with al, bowed repeatedly from his carriage. Tightly stretched ropes Jcept. back the crowd while a circle of policemen dis couraged the attempts of the venture some who would have encroached on the ground reserved for his highness. The prince, with all gravity, entered the cleanly swept ground surrounding the monument and laid at the feet of the martyred president a wreath of lau rel as a token of respect:. The ceremony lasted, but a "few mo ments. The prince and his official par ty quickly re-entered their carriages and started at a brisk trot for the Ger mania Club, transformed for the occa sion into a bit of the fatherland. It ;has been carefully planned to make the entertainment of the royal guest at. the club the crowning event of the day. He was to be made to feel at ioma despite the formality with which sucb functions must be encumbered. A burst of music from a brass band heralded the'prince's coming, and in a few min tries, the "Prince Henry" of last night was "Unser lleinrich" among the en' thusiastic German Americans. Every pi ecaution had heen taken foe the safety of the royal gueet. The dubl house had been rigidly inspected from' basement to garret before the arrival? of the prince. The guests were stand ing when the prince and the o'tner guests entered. A string band, hidden behind a curtain played the "Wacht au Rhein"' ass the tU. quiet prince, in thtf, uniform of an admiral of the Germa'i navy, walked into the tooiu and wirf escorted to the eeat of lienor at 'tits head of the hall. At his end of th hall an immense American eagle spread its wings, while facing it at the soutTE end of the hair was the ecgle of Ger many. The whole scheme of decoration! was pronounced perfect in its har mony and in its symbols of the friend ship of Germany and the United States. While the first three courses were be ing served the orchestra discoursed ne gro melodies and strains from operas from the Italian and Spanish. At th end of the third course President Fisch er proposed the health of the President of the United States. Then the ' bana played "The Star Spangled Banner." The next toast, also proposed by Mr. Fischer, was to the emperor of Ger many. During the rendering of both, American and German pa'triotle music the guests remained standing. At the end of the fifth course Mr. Harry Rubens delivered tbespeech of the occasion in proposing the health of the cluXs distinguished guest. When the luncheon was finished Presi dent Fischer escorted the prince to the elaborately decorated ball room, where the prince received those who had taken luncheon with him.- President Fischer istood at his right, while members of hi staff and a committee of the club were ranged behind hiiu. It was during this reception that one of the most pleasing incidents of the day took place. Presi dent Fischer, on behalf of the ladies of the club, presented to the prince a mag nificent vase to be given his wife, the Princess Irene. The prince thanked the women in behalf of the princessl declar ing that no incident of his visit had pleased him more, and that he was sure the princess, his wife, would cherish it always among her treasures. The vase was of gold and cut-glass and was two feet high. - . . ' - nary VUlta tta Bear City . Milwaukee. March 4. Up .to the time he left Chicago Prince Henry was in ex cellent spirits and surprisingly fresh in view of the hospitality and hard travel which Le had gone through. Chicago, however, told on him. His face looked more weary this morning than any time since he landed in the country, and had lost a good deal of its frecsh. healthy color, lie was tired, and said he was tired. He had beeu on the go from the time he got into Chicago until he went to bed after 1 o'clock this morn ing. The stay in Milwaukee was from. 4 o'clock in the afternoon until .10 at night and every moment was filled. On his arrival at the station there was the firing of a royal salute from the lake front and greeting by 1.200 Germans, citizens, military, civic officials and mu sic. This lasted until 4:15 when a start was made for a drive through the pvu-, cipal streets of the city to the. exposi- tion grounds where there was a formal reception at ,1 o'clock. X banquet fol lowed at the hotel and at !:30 a drive through the illuminated streets again to the court of honor..- Then canie the final uproar of farewell on" the depart- ure of the prince's train at 10 o'clock in the evening.
