An AAA 1 . . J.'f '. . Bryan, of Chatham, asked why this appropriation bill was not referred to all the finance committee; that he had -never seen it , Johnson said the bill had not been referred to the fin ance couunittee at all, but his opin ion had been asked as an individual. Bryan said he knew the object of mi nority committees; that human nature is frail ; that he saw in the lobby daily men who were getting $2,500 alary from the state, lobbying for this bill; that Harry Skinner had bae tele graphed for to come here from Wash ington; that editor Bailey said he was told so. Dockery said that no lobbyist had been telegraphed for from Washington and demanded that Bryan prove it. Bryan said the ap propriation to the university wasde- nounced by tbeStfethodistsand Bap tists. Sutton, of Cumberland, said! "I deny this so far as the Methodist church is concerned. " Bryan said that in 1885 there was an appropriation of $15,000 for an agricultural department of the Uni versity, but no such study was- taught there. He declared that all professional men here favored this bill; but that he represented the farmers. He said the members could not go home with- their political money in their pockets and defend themselves for voting for. this bill." Murphy asked hhu what he meant by political money and Bryan said 'per diem." He said the bill was the most diabolical class legislation he ever knew. He said he wanted to return to his constituents with a clear record. Brown said it seemed to him that Bryan wanted to do this only and pay no attention to the needs of the state. Dockery told Bryan that the tax rate for the common schools had been Increased 2 cents; and this would raise $50,000. Lusk asked Bryan if the commi- tee had not reported the increase favorably. Ward asked Bryan if he had not introduced the revenue act himself. Bryan admitted that be had. He said he did not know the increase was in the bill. Lusk said that his ignorance was amazing ana J) e wanted to know hither Bryan endorsed the in crease. Bryan then attacked the professional men who were speaking hero today for tbisbill. He said he was bacltea by bis people in Ubat- ham; that he opposed the appropria tion in-toto. Lusk said he was glad to see Bryan taking the .stand he did; that he- always took the opposite side from Bryan, because he then felt sure he was right Bryan raised a great laugh by crying but: ''How were you on the senatorial election?" Lusk retorted by saving: "Where were you; were you with me?" "No, you were with me, "said Bryan. Lusk then asked Bryan where his party was on this question; if it had not tabooed him and kicked him and. kicked him out of its caucus, this causing a big laugh at Bryan's ex pense. ; .Lusk then spoke earnestly in sup port) of the" bill, saying that he was not ashamed, as Bryan said he was,, to return tc his people after support ing the bill, fjusk said the repub lican party was the party of educa tion. . He - ridiculed. Bryan 's state ment that the University was the rich man's school, and said there were 140 poor boys there who would not be at college were it not, for the aid they got He said the people had approved the action of tbe.legis-1 lature two years ago in increasing appropriations to all institutions; and that under, the republican ad ministration tbe University in 1896 was' morW prosperous .than ever, Lusk said that he recollected two years ago when Bryan tried to sneak through," little bill," and that he bad made thelnquiry which led tothe revelation that it, was a bill to take away k all th appropriation to the university that' he Tecalled .the occurrence distinctly; that ' Bryan Baft it was a "little bilL V , Bryan said he was merely joking with rep resentative McCall; that he did say I "little bill;" that Lusk got his idea from democratic newspapers.

Bryan said he wanted to have the bill taken up. : Dockery called the previous ques tion. It was ordered and Bryan, of Chatham, demanded the yeas' and nays.

Sontherp RaUroad Deteotiva Hans to Earth a Bold Gang of Thieves. A special from Louisville, Ky.. says: A daring band of robbers, under the leadership of a woman, was routed here to today, when Mrs. Mamie Carter, Patrick O'Brien, a junk shopkeeper, at 966 East Market street; Dad Hagerty.a team ster, John and Joel Bloom and John Da ?ern were lodged in jail on war rants sworn out by Detective D. F, Harbaugh, of St. Lsuis, in the em ploy of the Southern railway. For a year the detective has been working on the case and he has collected-evidence to show that during that time,.the gang had stolen goods from railroad cars to the value of at least 812,000. It is alleged that a railroad clerk is implicated in the plot and more' arrests are expected. The gang has confined itself chief y to breaking seals and robbing wheat cars. Disguising themselves as farmers, they took the grain to loca.1 mills and disposed of it at the topi market price - They tapped other car's for mis cellaneous goods, much of which was stored with O'Brien, the junk shop keeper, The operations of the gang indi cate that they had inside knowledge of the contents of cars, and this in formation is supposed to have come through the suspected clerk. t The woman leader of the gang is a noted criminal j and has operated in various cities of the country.

Road lor 33 Years AT PRESENT RATE.9 BUI Introdneed In the Senate by Maj Grant, who baa Fought the Oover Dor's Bill Considered a Fair and Liberal Measure. Maj. H. L. Grant, who is one of the leaders in the fight against the bill attacking the North Carolina lease, today introduced a compro mise bill in the Senate, r The bill gives legislative approval to a lease tinder a reduction of term rith all the conditions of the present leasf,the term being for 30 years from 1901, the rate being the same as in the 99. year lease and all theother provisions remain exactly the same. It must be said that the measure as now proposed is a very fair and liberal one and ought to be accepta ble to those who oppose the lease. It is a conservative propositioD and one to wMcn, it appears to us, no weighty objection can be raised by those who are representing the inter ests of the state. ' THE MACHINERY ACT. Provision Taxing Evidences of Debt which First Appeared Id the Press-Visitor. The machinery act has been intro duced in the house and it is a veri table drag net The provision taxing evidences of debt is by far the worst feature in the bilL It wa? first printed in the Peess Visitoe more than a week ago and created a sensation among business men Amount of credits, including ac crued interest uncollected, owing a person, whether in or out of the state whether owing by 'mortgage, bond, note, bill -of exchange, certifi cate, check, open account due and payable; whether owing by any state or government, county, city, town or township, iBdividual, com pany or corporation, and all mort gages, bonds, notes, billsof exchange certificates,-checks, open accounts due and payable, and all other pa pers representing solvent credits, shall be non-collectable unless they bear some evidences of having been annually listed for taxation." Chairman Johnson, - of the house finance committee,-' say about this matter "There has beensome excite ment and anxiety all over the state about the proposed changes in the machinery act. I think a good many of the criticisms made have just foundation. Iu the first place, the changes referred to have not. been agreed to by the joint committees on finance, but the revenue act has been hurried to be printed. This course I do not approve. Jf or in stance, all after the word "corpora tion" was stricken out. That part nnjust to all classes of our people. My understanding was that this part is was to be stricken out. It was so declared by the committee, but yet in some way it has found its way in to theact." HENRY TO BE JUDGE If Sutton, of Cumberland, Can Be Elcoted Railroad Commissioner. An effort is being made to get all the candidates for railway commis sioner to withdraw in favor of Rep resentative Sutton, of Cumberland. Mr. Sutton is hungry after an office.

Grosvenor, of Ohio, who is One of, McKinley s closest friends and who has been oneof hisstaunch- est and most capable political sup porters, says:" . 'I believe that President McKin ley will revoke or suspend the sweeping order which toolc all tha offices into the civil service, classifi cation. I have been investigating the matter thoroughly and one of the ablest lawyers in the entire country has givenme an .opinion covering the case. 'He says that an executive can revoke bis own deeds, just as a legislatjve body can reconsider an act. "If be should choose to do so, President Cleveland might tomor row revoke his order. The execu tive may change his mind. He may order the army to Mexico and he may order the army to countermarch when be changes his mind, and he may send, the army to Lower Cali fornia, or wherever be pleases. "IMs not probable that Cleveland will change his mind on the civil service order, but it is within his power, .to revoke his own act. His successor ill not be . bound by Cleveland's action. McEinly will be president and willaelminister the executive branch of the govornment in his own way. He can revoke that odious order, and I believe that he will do so." Resolutions by IhoJrO 1' A M.

The Press-Visitor has from time to time published cuts and sketches of people who were at the time sufficiently prominent be fore the public as to justify it and it published the picture and skotch of Mr. Ayer, the newly elected Audor as we "did the picture of the new Governor and as we have published the pictures of other noteworthy people inthe state. Appreciating the compliment thus paid Mr Ayer, Mr Rivers, of the Caucasian, bad the ar ticle and cut reproduced in that pax per without the knowledge of Mr Ayer and through an Inadvertence, the publication appeared.ln theCau casian without oredit to the Press Visitor. The Article was written and the cut was obtained by the editor of theJPRESs-Visitor, and in justice to Mr, Ayer we wish to state that he knew nothing ,of it till it made its appearance in this paper. and he knew nothing of its appear ance in the Caucasian until he saw It there. - Stata CoanoU Jr. O I' A M.

He will be taken to Charlotte tomorrow. He accuses ihe penitentiary authorities of se verest cruelty. Are Yon Going '! Where?
