The verbiage of the resolution au thorizing the erection of monuments to Generals Nash and Davidson Is such that It has raised the question as to whether- or not. the two monuments can be located at dififerent places. This question was sprung today after a careful reading of the resolution, and one member of Congress took the posi tion that tixe. governor -ainl the secre tary of war could not" locate "one of the monuments In Raleigh and another in Charlotte. The section of the reso lution that has brought about this question reads as follow?: "That the site for the location Of said monuments, the designs for the same, the conduct of the work of erection, and the disbursement of the money hereinbefore appropriated, shall be un der the direction of the secretary ot war. who" shall, however, act jointly with the governor of the state of North Carolina, as far as may be practicable. in tne selection 01 a location ior wmilwn disappointed in the stock that monuments."

The contention is advanced that Congress has artrt tlarily imposed on the governor and the secretary of war the duty of select ing one location l(rslte for the. two monuments, which "are linked together in every movemeiniade In Congress since the introduction of the original resolution before the""ontlnental Con gress.

Shares ihi Sam Fate Philipine Jar- iff Comes Up for, Consideration- Washington, March 3. When- Mr. Hoar called up in the Senate this morn ing the .conference report on the'bill to protect the president, Mr. . Bacon de clared that the alleged conference is a bill which, with one single section, had never been read in the Senate. The bill. , he said, is far reaching in its cba-acter. and absolutely subversive of the fundamental principals upon which the government is founded. Mr. Hoar replied that the conference rrport was the Senate bill In its entire--ty with the exception of the matter nentainlng to anarchists. Mr. Bacon criticised the bill, saying that it discriminated in the matter of gravity of a crime committed against an officer and an individual. - Mr. Piatt of Connecticut interrupted to saythat while he recognized the right and duty of the government to protect a citizen, there was an addi tion. I duty on the part of the governj njnt to protect its officers, that being protection of the government itself, j "Mr. Hoar contended that the bill does not punish a crime against the official more than against the citizen. , Mr. Toller flatly told him the bill would be defeated, and Mr. Hoar let it drcn. A resolution was adopted continuing until the next regular session -the stand ing and select committees of the Senate The conference report on the sundry civH'bill was agreed. to. , Mr. Teller asked Mr. Aldrich whether he proposed to press the Aldrich finan cial bi!!. "It is not my purpose to keep the bill long before the Senate." replied Mr. Aldrich. "After the statements made last night publicly it is apparent that the bill can not pa, but Iwish per sonally to make a statement wnicn i think it is due to the committee to h$ar." Mr. -Cjuay I venture in all -humility of spirit to make a request that I think will clarifv this situation: that at 2 o'clock this afternoon a vote-be takai on the bill knovru as the omnibus state hood bill (laughter); that after that a vote be taken on the bill proposed by the -Senator from Rhode Island; that after that the conference report of the Senator from Massachusetts (the an archy bill) be taken up and disposed of; that then the Philippine tariff bill be discussed and voted upon: that then the pure food bill be considered. That is a program that will admit all these things and keep the Senate busy dur ing the rest of the session. Mr. Carmack Does the senator's pro gram include the Lirtlefield anti-trust bill? (Laughter.) '. Mr. Quay No, but I will include that. (Laughter.) Mr. Foraker got the floor by unani mous consent.. He argued in favor of Mr. Quay's request that "the Senate should do business," he said. Mr. For aker said he took advantage of the op STRIKE ORDERED Wabash Sy stent Obtains Pro tection from the Courts St. Louis. March 3.

The colored Agricultural and Mechani cal College, in this city, is making a good record. Although crowded for room, the attendance is larger tban on previous years' and -would be even greater if sufficient accommodations could be secured. President Dudley says that, with the exception of the last class, every graduate of the col lege is employed at ome useful voca tion and is earning a good salary. portunity to say; that it' would be little short of a public calamity if the Sen ate adjourned without passing some o" these measures. s "I hope," said 'he,' "that the Senate will in the early futuire adopt some kind, of a reasonable cloture rule." The Aldrich bill then ivas. taken up and Mr. Aldrich took "the' floor.. He had, he said, been greatly surprised at the attitude of certain Democratic sen ators. v The national banking system, he declared, is beyond the power of the senator from Arkansas and the sen ator from Kentucky to destroy. It is not here by their grace; or that of the party they represent. Facing the Democratic side, Mr.' Aldrich said: "We have appealed to you in a business-like way to give the treasury a chance to stop the process of contraction and to provide what is equivalent to' a means of expansion when it Is imperatively needed by the business of the ountrye, and yet you say 'no. we will talk your bill to death for political effect.'" A small lot. of men in. the Senate, he said, had deliberately, with malice aforethought, murdered this bill. '"The destruction of the bill by you gentle men." said he, speaking to the Demo cratic side, "assure as the sun wTill rise tomorrow morning will impair con fidence in business circles," and, he added, "he wanted to put the responsi bility where it belonged. At 2.30 this afternoon' Mr. Hanna asked for permission to present the new senators from Delaware. Messrs. Alice and Ball were invited to the bar of the Senate and-they appeared on the aim of Mr. Hanna and Mr. Aldrich, respectively. There was loud applause as the four gentlemen went down the aisle. The oath was administered by President pro tern Frye. Thus, for the first time in several years, the Senate has its complement of members. Mr. Aldrich resumed his speech and, after speaking at length, concluded by saying: .... , ". "Thisr;is not a political or ap artisan measure. It , was framed for the best interests of the country, without a thought of partisanship or political ef fect." Mr. Teller made a long' speech, be ginning in reply to Mr. - Aldrich, but running into a talk on the statehood question. He concluded his remarks at 3:45 and yielded to Mr. Elkins. On motion of Mr. Lodge, the Philip pine tariff bill was taken up, displacing thevAldrich bill, v " Mr. Elkins said he regretted exceed ingly that the bill just laid aside did not pass. A stringency would occur next fall, and "perhaps a financial dis aster would follow. "Next in import ance to the Aldrich bill," said Mr. El kins, "is the Philippine tariff bill. It, too, must fall, according to the notice given by the other side. Behind them are two important treaties that could not be ratified and rrfust go over to an extra session. What is responsible for these disasters? The responsibility for legislation is on the' Republican party. In my judgment it is the fault of the Republican party that these troubles have occurred.

Out of Mr. Watts activity in this respect grew the most sensational in cident of the present General' Assem bly. It was a protest in the form of a parliamentary inquiry by Mr. Walter Murphy of Rowan. Mr. Murphy said: ' "Mr. Speakef I rise to a question, of parliamentary Inquiry. "Is it parliamentary, is It right, is it ethical, :., decorpus and in good and chaste taste for. a member of this Gen eral Assembly to approach members on the floor of this House and try to In duce them to sign an agreement as to how they would cast their' votes on cer tain legislation pending in' this Assembly?"- - ' .' .

Mr. Murphy: "It Is exceedingly grati fying to me and to this House to learn that the gentleman from Iredell has a conscience, and I assure him that we rejoice very much that there is ro one here -who would accept the responsi bility' acting as guardian" for such an intangible and pliable thing ai the gentleman's conscience; but I do pro test against your action here.

A i i ' Speaker ".. :' 'jned to rule or the question inentary inquiry, stating thut th' .U:3Uon was too broad; but he add-d that she supposed the signing of such an agreement would be a matter entirely In the dis cretion of the individual" members. Mr. Watts- continued to solicit signa tures to the agreement, and the House passed on to other business. Trrrell C earl Ileaae BUI The victory gained a few days ago by Dr. Alexander, the Republican mem ber from Tyrrell county was short lived. He succeeded in getting ail amendment to Senator Sprulll's bill re quiring' the commissioners of Tyrrell to build a- new court house. The amendment provided for a vote of the people on the question, and as amended the bill passed Its second reading. It came up yesterday on third .reading and Mr. Blount of Washington moved to amend by striking out the Alexan der amendment, stating positively that Dr. Alexander's position was. not sus tained by the people of his county. Dr. Alexander spoke for the bill, as it stood. He did not blame the gentle man from Washington for wanting to j represent Tyrrell county. Mr. Blount had spoken forcibly in support of the amendment offered by himself and which left the bill as It passed the Senate. In doing so he eulogized Senator Spruill and charac terized Tyrrell county as "peculiarly the home of the Spruills." Dr. Alexander, in reply, said: "I have nothing detrimental to say of Senator Spruill except that he should have gone to the war ami, fought like f did for what I nelieved to be right. I am one-half Spruill myself, and was elect ed here by as good Democratic votes as there are In th state." Mr. McNeill of Scotland snid he couldn't see what going to the war had to do with the Issuing of bonds for a new court house. , Mr. Smith of Gates favored Mr. Blount's amendmerft, and spoke to the political phase of the question.. He said we need to strengthen our lines a little. The" success of the gentleman from Tyrrell in this Democratic body has given him undue prominence, and it is discouraging to the Democrat; in Tyrrell county..
