The concerned, but the Indications are mat a handful of Democrats over In the Senate propose to engage in a con- tlnUOUS taiKing penuuimutc, :. will postpone Cuban reciprocity until the regular session begins in -December. The North Carolinians were much disappointed when they learned of . the plans of the Teller-carmacK-Bailey combination,' for they had coed for adjournment by Thanks giving so they could return home for n couple or wees. The final vote on the Cuban reci procity measure m tne Mouse toaay was eclipsed in point of public interest bv the spectacular- performance offing in hopes that' fcenator ianna win (irrie Nation at tne otner ena oi me capitol and of the avenue. However Carrie's plunge before the Hme iiErht v.as of momentary duration and so far as Congress itself was concerned, was hardly noticed. Senator Overman was in the Marble room of the Senate talk ing with Prof. Burkett of Raleigh, only v.hen Carrie, who was standing a couple of feet away, broke out with her tirade against " saloons. She was talking to the venerable Senator Cockrell, who had quiestly urged hef to desist from talking so loud. ' Imme diately the hatchet thrower took cour- kge'and began to talk at the top of iher voice. Senaor Cockrell made his l;xit in a trot and Senator Overman Soltowed with as much dignity as pos sible. Carrie was close behind, but the privacy, of the Senate chamber pro tected them from the whirlwind in Ikirts. : Democrats were very proud of Minority.. Leader Williams speech In . :oncludlng the debate ' on Cuban reel-' procity. They gave him an ovation, applauding for some minutes. AH of the Tar Heel delegation voted for the bill save the two Messrs. Kitchin and I Mr. Small. Mr. W. W. Kitchin wa paired with Mudd of Maryland and f Mr. Small with General Grosvenor of Ohio. After Mr. Williams concluded hi? powerful speech in favor of tariff revision he and Representative Pou took lunch together. Mr. Pou learned from Mr. Williams that he will leave the latter part of . the week for Fort Monroe, , where, far removed from im portuning members, he will make out his slate of Democratic committee as signments. N That the North Carolina delegation will be well taken care of on the. com mittees seems to be the general Im pressiori of all the members from the state. Of course greatest interest is manifested in Mr. Small's ambition to become a member of the river and har bor committee. Despite the fact that there are seven candidates for the two vacancies on the committee, Mr. Small is considered a favorite among the knowing ones. The other candidates are John Westley Gaines of Tennessee, Shirley of Kentucky, two Texans one Mlssi??ippian and one Arkansan. It is thought a few dark horses are in the background. If the Republican party , carries out Its threats against the south, which are being made for . use in the presidential larrpaign, the south will be governed from Washington instead of the capi tals of those states. Another bill, in troduced in the House by a leading Republican today, is indicative of the feeling of this administration towards the south. The bill in question is fathered by. Mr. Morrell of Pennryl- vania and Is directed at. the Jim cww I legislation In vogue. The measure seeks to prevent discrimination by common carriers of passengers against j travelers between states on account of ! race or color. The south wilK be made j to feel the vindictive will of the Repub- Jeans should Roosevelt triumph in the presidential camoairn. This is. s-ener- Ulv undrRtnrwi hrA ' Tonight the remains of Samuel L.

He was never a slave and his family is said to have owned slaves. Such is the information given out at the . White House. Sena tors Tillman and Latimer will oppose confirmation, but- they have their hands full in the Crum. fight and a victory in this case is not encouraging. The anti-Roosevelt Republicans in the south, who have a foothoid in all the southern states, but who are handi- capped because of the use of the fed- eral patronage against them, are liv- tmv uui aa cuuuwm cc. for the presidential nomination.

"In the first place, I understod that when he went throughj Kansas last spring on his western trip he took in his train a dive full of liquors for himself and thorewith him.

When told by the reporter that he had never seen the president Indulge in cigarette?, Mrs. Nation retorted; "Well I was told that he smoked a cigar on the steps of the capltol f at Topika, and I must find if this Is so.

The oppon- cial session in the House. The last day of the debate in the House on the Cuban reciprocity bill I was entered upon promptly after the i reading of the journal of yesterday's ' proceedings. Mr. Broussard of Louisiana was the first speaker, being in opposition to the bill on behalf , cH the sugar producers of his state. Mr. Hepburn of Iowa followed, stat ing at the outset of his remarks that he would vote for the bill, but with reluctance. He said he was not one of those who believed we owe Cuba, anything. This country had spent $300, 000,000 or $400,000,000 and satriflced many lives that Cuba might be reliev ed from oppression. Mr. Sulzer of New York said , he would vote for the bill, as it was a little step in the right direction. Mr. Watson of Indiana closed an hour's speech with an eloquent perora tion on what the Republican party had done, which De Armond of Missouri, who followed, declared. was the grand iloquent e oration of an Indiana school boy. Mr." De' Armond repeated the as sertion that if the bill passed in its present form -without striking out the differential duty on ; refined sugar it would be another evidence of the fact that the Republican party was domi nated by influences at variance with the interest of the American people. . Mr. Thompson of Alabama favored the bill. The debate for. the Democrats was closed by Mr. Williams, the minority leader. Referring to the question ask ed by Mr. Watson of Indiana, "what is protection?" Mr. Williams said his definition would be "protection is a system of taxation whereby many are robbed in order that a few may be hot housed by legislation into artificial prosperity." (Applause.) This he illustrated by a repetition of what he called the "banana industry," descriDing how It could be evoked and maintained, and the result thereof. Referring to the matter of schedules, Mr. Williams said that all the talk said it reminded him of the advice of an old friend in .Mississippi who, like ! ;anpther mVLXl, talked magnificent ph II-.! osophy in very bad English. Said he, ; .ow, John, that, you're elected to j congress don't go to being a prophet.

Williams' in answering General Grcsvencr's defense of Secretary Shaw, 'was glad to see a. Republican presidenf J a Republican majority ' in the House participating in that lucidity. The bill was reported to the House. Mr. Williams moved to recommit the bill with instructions, which was ruled lout of order.- Mr. Yllllanis appealed, and after a brief discussion. Speaker Cannon saying he preferred to err. If he erred "at all, on the side of giving the House the right to express its opinion ort the question, entertained the appeal. (Democratio applause.)

Nov. 19. The inquiry of the Senate committee on military af fairs into opposition to the confirrna tlon of the nomination of General Wood to be major general In the army was begun today, and the hearing was behind closed doors. It haa been de termined that the sessions of the com mittee will not be public The objec tions made in the committee today were sufficient to show the disposition of senators on this matter." -j In addition to the members of the com mittee and the newspaper men. Sena tors Teller and Hanna and Major Es tes G. Rathbone were present, the three last named being prepared to pre sent . objections to General confirmation.- "Senator Teller Wood's said ha objected to General Wood because of the injustice that was being done to the army by - his promotion. Senator Hanna said, that the adtlon ol! General Wood in the Rathbone case was of a character to show his unfitness for high commnd. Both statements were very general in terms. I It is not Improbable that j General Wood may be ordered home ffom Mliv danao, Philippine Islands, to appear be fore the committee in regard j to char-, ges made against him. Secretary Root said today that he would send to the Senate committee anything that may be called for In connection with the case. He also said that if the commit tee found the war department records insufficient, he would, if requested by the committee, send for General Wood I to return to the United States.
