The House .tons... r ;t- The caucus of the democratic mem. hers of the house of representatives last night was one of the tamest held in many a year. The all-important position 'ot speaker was filled by the unanimous selection of William Carey Dowd, of the county of Meck lenburg. The filling of this import ant position usually takes up several hours time of the caucus, but this year the contest was decided within a few minutes, in fact, everything hud been settled before the caucus as sembled and there was nothing loft but ofllcial action. : I lie nominations for thn oilier of- uces were not unanimous, except principal clerk, and though lor one position there were 'eight candidates. only one ballot was required to de termine the caucus' choice. I he caucus was called to order by Representative Harry Stubbs, of Martin county, who announced that the democratic caucus was ready for business. Representative McGill. of Cumber land, made a motion- that Hon. R. A. Dougnten, of Alleghany bo made chairman ot the caucus, but Mr. Doughton arose and stated that this was not the usual form of business and moved that Mr. Stubbs be made the presiding officer of the . caucus, which motion was unanimously car ried. Mr. Turlington, of Iredell, made a motion that all democrats be al lowed to remain in the hall during thr meeting, which was adopted. Mr. T. C. Cox, of Anson county was unanimously chosen secretary, PORTUGESE. REPUBLIC TOTTERING TO FALL '(By Cable to The Times.) Madrid, Jun. 4 The Portusucse re- T'Ublie--Uie youngest on earth is be lieved to be tottering to its fa.Il. Off- flat statements given fcut In Lisbon today and telegraphed to the various capitals of Kuropo show that the gov ernment heads are trying to appease the people. One move by the government Is the abolition of Octroi tuxes upon certain foodstuffs, directly affecting, the poorer classes. Taxes upon olive oil ami meat have been rescinded, taking $525,000 an nual revenue away from the govern ment but cheapening .prices' of those staples. . At the same time it Is re ported that the republican office-hold ers are compiling a bill to Increase taxes on the property of royalists. That a royalist uprising Is imminent and is feared by the government Is ehown by tho large number of troops which arc being; moved Into affected quarters, iilthninrh the people nro helm? kept In Ignorance of the true conditions, and a roll call showed 90 members proBcnt, which was . "' more than u quorum. A motion was made to limit the nominating speeches to five minutes and the seconding speeches to taree minutes, but this was amended to al low ten in in n t on for the speech nom inating the speaker of the house. Air. Dowd . Nominated. Hon. 15. M. Koonce, 'of Onslow county, arid one of the moat lalked-ol competitors of Mr. Dowd for I tie speakership, arose and said: "This is the first time 1 have eve been confronted with the knowlcdg that the speech 1 had prepared will not do at all. I am sadly disappoint ed. It is unnecessary to take ten minutes to nominate a presiding ofh eer. This is the first time I have eve had the opportunity to put inio pi.ie tice the Golden Rule, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you This is like the case of the nine little Indians swinging on a gate, (except there were only six) and one fell off which left hut eight, and so on down until there was only one left. Let ns join together and name the Big In dian of the general assembly of mil There has been no more faithful ser vant of the people of NorKh Carolina than the Honorable W. C. Dowd of Mecklenburg, Without : - regret, to the public, I nominate William Carey Down for the position of speaker of the house of representatives Representative Z. V. 'Turlington, of Iredell county, another prominently mentioned person for speakership, in a few words, seconded Mr. Dowd s nomination. He snid: I want to second the nomination of. a man who has always been my triend and to whom I have alwavs been a friend; a man who has done much for the people of North Caro lina as a mcniner oi -me general as sembly. As a member of the fusion legislature, tie rendered, signal ser vice to his state and his party: I must" heartily second the nomination of YV. C. Dowd for speaker of the next house of representatives " Representative R. A - .ougn ton, or Alleghany, - made a vuiotion to sus pend the rules and nominate Mr. Dowd by acclamation. This tNoffiHi was teotMe-1jy 'Tlti-eiijMfrfj' i ,'. Nelll, of Moore county. The nomi nation of Mr. Dowd -was made-unani. nious and vyas greeted with applause by the members and visitors. Chairman Stubbs appointed K.. M. Koonce , of Onslow; R. A. Doughton. of Alleghany, and Z.' V. Turlington, of Iredell, to escort Mr. Dowd to the lull. '-;. When Mr. Dowd appeared he was greeted with applause. Chairman Stubbs introduced him as the speaker of tlle muse, of representath ( and Mr. Dowd'1' responded .in substance; as follows: "'.'' "If 1 know niy heart tonight, to lie given the office of speaker ot this body, I care nothing for thai except as it represents the expression ot your confidence and esteem. I can not find words to express niy appre ciation of this honor. I have no 'pleasure hi iitanding here to sav I have .triumphed over my opponents men as callable or more so, to fill the position. Tho feeling of regret I have is that these other ..men had to meet defeat that 1 might .have suc cess, this cuntcsl m over. Ine friends of my opponents are my friends. We arc all democrats and are here to serve the best inti lists of the State of North Carolina. I be seech all of you to give me vour hearty.' co-operation: to overlook my mistakes and help make this the best session of the legislature ever held in North Carolina. I am not nisen sihle to the high honor you have con ferred upon' -me. By harmonious ac tion of yours and mine we should-do something that will cause all tho peo ple to say, 'well done.' I would rather not have the office than to have anyone feel that I have not been fair to all. I want the love and es teem of all you men who will be here with me for the next sixty Hays." Principal Clerk. Representative Spainhour, ot Burke, in a brief speech placed the name of Mr. T. G, Cobb, of Burke. before the caucus for the position of principal clerk. This was s conded by Representative Wooten, of Lenoir. On motion of Piivatt, of Caowan, the rules were suspended and Mr. Cobb was chosen hy acclamation. Heading Clerk, . Mr. F. B.
