Clearness. - , The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: "Assum ing the published outline of the two bill the Ways and Means Committee will introduce in the House to be sub stantially oorreot,- the DemooraU of both bouses are speculating as to the measure of opposition they can inter pose against the passage of the tariff bill. In the House it is expected the bill will be f orced through under a suspension of the rules, with no more debate than the majority choose to oonoede, thereby throwing the bur den of the opposition upon the Dem ocrats of the Senate. It is generally thought if the Republicans are in earnest obout passing their tariff measure they may also be able to get it through the Senate. The Demo crats, feeling confident the President would veto the measure, realise it oan do no harm and can hare no other effect than to define clearly what the Republicans would do it they re gained control of the government in the way of tariff legislation. The bill would furnish .in detail the tariff plank in their next national platform, and, whatever the action of their con vention might be, it would be upon the bill passed by this Congress that the party would have to make its fight. This would bring the tariff ques tion again tqaarely before the peo ple and would give Iheic an other opportunity to deoide betwatn the polici93 of toe two parties respect ing methods of taxation. The republicans are willing to make the issue, and it is argued that after tho democratic Senators have carried their opposition far enough to em phasize their position regarding the question involved they will permit the bill to pass. Some of the popu lists, including Senators Peffer and Jones, are expected to vote for the bill, so that if this calculation is oor- rect there will be little, doubt of a clear majority in its favor. The bond bill cannot pass the Senate, every one concedes, and the determination of tho republican leaders in the House to separate it from the tariff bill was reaohed after oinvass of the situation in the Senate bad revealed the fact that the bond proposition would defeat the repub lican tariff echeme if the two were united Suoa Westeren republicans as Senators Telller and Mitohell strongly advised the separation of the propositions. The division among the republicans of the Bouse on the money question also con tributed to the decision. Many of the Western men deolared that they would not vote f ir the tariff bill if it oontained a provision for bonds It is now tbe intention of the re publicans to pass their tariff bill by a strictly party vote and to depend upon the assistance of tbe sound money democrats for the success of tbe bond bill. CONCEALED AMONG APPLES. Two Hundred Gallons of Liquor Seised In a Oar Load of Applies. The Revenue people had informa tion of a new and novel seizur this morning. 1 It was a new triok tbat the moonshiner attempted to play and he deserves credit for his origin ality, if for nothing else. What purr- ported to be a car load of apples was shipped in a freight car from Wilks- boro to Fayetteville. Nothing was wrong about the shipment of a oar load of apples, but the information looked oat that among those apples were oonoealed 200 gallons of pure oorn whiskey. This intelligence was made known to the Greensboro de puties end when the ear passed through, a search was made, and the fromenU. wit found in the fruit.

The Liver pool market l closed for the holidayed New York opened S polnta off, im proved slightly, bat eased off again, being at 2 45 o'clock 10 to 11 poinla lower than Tuesday night. The In terior movement is larger than ex pected, especially In the Atlantic States, besides the market feels the lack of speculation. Receipts for December 95th, 81,600 bales. H ubbard Bros.

Oar market or-coed with salea of March at 8.01 and alter an advance to 8 ccnta rnled at 7.08 at 1 p. m. Without advleea from abroad the market has been governed by the movement of the crop, and the semi weekly receipts of 78,000 bales, against 13.000 bales In 1803, has eauaed the weakness daring the morning. Re ports from Savannah Indicate an In crease in the movement of the Atlantic crop, while the increase in the interior stocks leads many to look fir the amoqnt of cotton oomln Into sight to ciceed the movement of 1809 by 75,000 to 100,000 balea. There appear to be no speculative support to the market as in oompsrtsoa with other commodi ties. Cotton looks high to the ma jority of speculators Hubbard Bros A Co. A Generous Christmas Remem brance. Messrs Boyall and Borden, the famous furniture concern, believe in doing all things on a broad scale, and this was evidenced today by Mr. Miles Good It, manager of the -Raleigh establishment. Messrs. Roysll and Borden wrote Mr. Goodwin In structing him to pay to every man in the employ of tbe house aa a Christ mas present from them an ar nt equal to ten per cent, of hie month's wages. Mr. Goodwin wore a happy smile today as a Paast Visi tor man talked with him and the smile was oeeaaloned not only oy the generous thonghtfalness-of his firm but by the fact that tbe business he hat beea doing doling the holiday haa been a record breaker. Tbe aalea of furniture which they hare made have been something astonishing, and we hare no doubt that Messrs. Boyall and Borden feel gratified at the sw eets of the branch here. Continaed sneers to them. School Superintendent. This evening the meeting of school superintendents and prinoiptls con venes at the Centennial School A goodly number of educators are ex? pected to be present. The meetings will - oontinue for several days. Among those who arrived today are Messrs. C W. Toms,. of Durham; Harry Howell, of Washington, and D. Matt Thompson. Prof. Alder man, of the University, will be an honored guest of tbe superintend, enbs. f He arrived today.; pf; A feature of tomorrow morning's meeting frill be the' exposition of methods of teaching, drawing and manual exercises by Miss Beamis who teabhes these branches specially in the Durham schools.

Mr. Thompson's many friend la Raleigh attend their heartiest felicita tions to him upon bis good fortune s i w' h ism and his bride many TEACHER'S ASSEMBLY HERE. Not Yet Officially Annoanoed, Bat the Preas-Vleitor Ha tbe Tip. The next Tcaohers' Assembly will be held In Raleigh. That is tbe news which the Pebss-Vmitcr gives be fore it should be legitimately called news. It Is, therefore, all the more a particularly hot and pleasing tarn ale 'fit interest; for'.tbe executive oommittee has not yet officially an noanoed the ohange in the place of meeting. For the past several years the tsachers have Journeyed to Morehead where.in company with the hundreds who flooked there in response to the oheap rates, they have tumbled about in the sound and fished and sailed by day ; and danced and "spooned" and sailed by night. So large have been the crowds tbat the teaohers who went to the village by the sound for work and to take interest in the As sociations' meetings were swallowed up, so to speak, by tbe muob more numerous throng of pleasure-seeking pedagogs and their fun-loving friends. So, for the past year or so those who have the Association's welfare at heart have been thinking that there was muob laoking wbioh should attend tbe meeting ; tbat soft crab and Spanish mackerel are not gocd food for the brain. So next year, says tbe man wbo U nameless but wbo knows all about it. the Teaohers' Assembly will meet in Raleigh. Here they will get a hearty wel come; and kUid Raleigh will go and listen to psyoologioal discussions with a face solemn to tbe point of looking understanding. Here the teaohers may Iwork to their heart's oontent. If the Atlantio Hotel wants big June crowds, let them offer the same old one dollar rate. $4.25 TO ATLANTA. The Seaboard Slashes the Rate to the Lowrest Point. As was predicted, tbe withdrawal of the Seaboard from the Southern Passenger Freight Association has resulted in a ont in rates. Tbe slash came earlier than expected. The remarkably low rate of $4 26 will go in effect on tbe Seaboard to Atlanta and return, for parties of five and more. The tickets will be good for five days and will be likely placed on sale tomorrow. While the infor mation could not be offioiallv Klvan out at toe Seaboard headquarters, still it is reasonably sure from the source of the information that the rate will be offered to tbe public This is by far the oheapest rate yet offered and will likely induce many persons to go. Mr. Thompson Seee Hugh D'Anna. A special to the Chariot) e Observer from Hickory aaya: 'Mrs. C. P.' Thompson arrived here Toesdsy evening and demanded that the boy, Hugh D'Anna, be sent to her at once at the Charter House and that he be left with her during Christmas.

Deepersle Charat-tere Cut spCirra ' on the Train. There were S"tne high old liuirs along the North Carolina- Railroad yesterday morning, and some of tbe toughs from the cotton milling districts were taking Christmas af'er their own hearts. Pasengera who went op on the train leaving this city at 9 o'clock, passed through thrilling scenes, and before they got to Greensboro offered up a prayer of thanksgiving tbat they escaped villi their lives At Iltw River a gsog of deeerndorH 't. on. Tbey are well kn 'n in ilmt region as hard wads. When the ennddrtor came through nnd asked fur 'heir tickets they gave Lira profanity in re turn. 'I bey ere all armed, but Con duetor Pollock was nervy, and sum moning the train bauds he proceeded to stop the train and ditch the ob streperous toughs As the trsin palled out they fired s volley into tbe trsin from their pistols, but nobody was hurt, though the passengers were badly frightened. At .the neit stop another tough got on and tried the same game, and when the conductor reached up for the bell cord to put bim off be jimped from the train at full speed, and it is thought that he broke bis jaw on a cross-tie. Beyond Burlington the train ran through another drove of toughs, all of whom were very drunk. They shot Unman candles into the train, and some of them brandished pistols and br-.Hn sucks. It was reported -o the train that a man was shot and killed at Haw River night before last ALMOST A MUltDKK. Mollle lleainan Btruck Willi a Kock ana HcrlouHly Injured. Mollie Beaman, of "Bowery" aud Mayor's court fame, will be seen no more for some time to come before bis Honor, tbe Mayor, or in tbe sU tion house ; for it is in one of tbe line white beds at Res Hospital thit Mol lie will stay for days to come. Hhe ia a bad woman ; ber repulsive, hard ened features distort d with pain and disfigured by tbe bandages that biud her head make a strange contrast with her genteel surrouudiDgg ; but it is the hospital tbat will nave her life worth something anyway Christmas eve on the "Bowery"!

Julia Rope, wbo was at tbe wo man's Bide, said that tbe woman bad been struck with a rock. When tbe Beamau woman regained conscious ness she confirmed tb.s statement Neither she nor the Rope woman has any idea as to who her assailant is. Tbe irjured woman was struck on the forehead, between tbe eyia, and her skull fraotured. 8be wa-i uticon saiou.s yester lay, but is better today. As yet, however, her life is still in danger. Xraas at the Asylum. Oue of the most enjoyable oc casions of the Christmrs fativi ties was th- Christmas tree celebration at the Insane Asylum. A number of Raleigh people were in attendance aud through the kindness of Dr. Kirby and his excellent ife. Dr. Faison, Mr. Crawford and the attend ants, the evening was most pleasantly passed. About two hundred of tbe patients, male tnd female, were seated in tbe auditorum which waa beautifully and tastily decorated. All of the patienta were eieedlngly interested and en joyed the occasion equally as much as the apeetator. Dr. Kirby is very kind and thought fullnbls management of the unfor tunates. As evldeuce of thia fact all of the patienta speak of him in the highest terms. Presents and fruits were givn each of the patients snd none ere overlooked. If any of tb-m received such substantial articles of wear aa shoes Much credit is due Mr. Crawford for the ancceaa of the entertainment. He ad bia presence felt everywhere.

The Baltimore plan contemplated ths sale of the road aa a whi le, while the New Yorkers insist tbat tbe three divisions of the road upon which th ree series of mortgsge bonds known aa A B and C an outstanding, be sold separately for the benefit of the hol dere of the respective securities. It was agreed that a majority of the holders of the three series should be necessary to a di-cision. A majority ofthe New Yorkem.n dorsed the New York plan, vtbil- the Baltimore holders of the B and C series were in the majority and the vote as a whole was in favor of the Baltimore committee's plan, the total being, for the New Y'ork plan $010, 000; for the Baltimore plan $1,519,000 Propositious were received from the Seaboard Air Line and tbe Southern Railway Company for the lease of tbe road under the Baltimore and New York plans resrectlvely .
