Chairman, of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, and point out that
only the other dsj that Committee was
criticised in an executive session of th
Senate an almost unheard of thing for
the manner it bad handled the Cuban
question. The belief, which b general,
thai Mr. Sherman was virtually forced
into becoming Secretary of State by the
exigencies of Ohio politics, will not add
anything to his prestige- ,
Senator Chandler, acting for Senator
"Woicott, Chairman of the Republican
Caucus Commilte baa introduced the
hiH prepared by that committee, author.
Izing the President, after March 4, 1897,
to appoint Reprcsetatives to any Inter
nal local CtxTerence called by the foiled
States or any other country, "with a
view to securing by international agree
ment. fixity of relative value between
gold and silver as money, by means ol
a common ratio between "those Vie tali,
with free mintage" at such ratio. Ii
will pass without opposition.
Few harsher criticisms against an in
dividual have appeared In a report from
a Congressional Committee than that in
a report made by the Senate Naval Com
mittee several days ago. This repor.
says: "The evQ consequences likely U
result frota allowing Navy officers to b
interested la patents, or employed by
the owners thereof, are well illustrated i
by the facts which appeared to the com
mil tee concerning Commander TVm. IL

section from stsv. i end with what
Is xnoaTi a Mu iii-ircea for fact I

and the various ptrnU issued there
for.! . : .
The report recites the assistance given
tSe Harvey Company by Folger m hi
official capacity, and says In plain word
that U was given . to -get the lucrative
employment from the company, which
Folger Las had since he resigned from
the Navy. It also gives other instance.
of Folger's having, been in private em
ploy while in the Navy. In lit ho weni
to Europe as agent foe the Oatfia Guu
Company, and drew a salary as sucL
far two years. Later be was employed
by the Simond Boiling Machine Com
pany, receiving as pay both money an-1
Stock in the Company.
Congressional Interest is greater in
the settlement of the Pacidc Railroad
question than it was before the Uouav
defeated the funding bill, but it it
doubtful whether the conflicting opin
ions can be suSdently recoacilcd to g
ny legislation. It all depeoas up n tb
llouse. The, Senate Committeo ha.
unaaimously agreed to Senator Gear
bill, providing for a commission o.
members of the Cabinet to settle the ui
dsbtedness of the Paciuc Railroads, am.

until the House acts upon a similar bit

Uai.eic.ii, X. C. January 10, '1T.
Matters were at fever heat hero bully
so far us tiie Senatorial contest 18 con-j
rei ned. The nomination of Cy Thoinpsnn
for Senator by the Populist majority1
caucus last night was u lold stroke. Dr.
Molt terms it a bomltshell.
The remark was made to your corres
pondent last week by Dr. Mott that in
every calculation of the Senatorial mat
ter the Democrats always entered as an
important element. He spoke wisely.
Tiday Populists and Republh'ans ai
asking the question: "Will the Demo
crats vote solidly for Thompson " The
Deni(erats in tho caucus last"- week
unanimously' voted to support any good
silver man named by the Populists. Thai
was a mast erf ul stroke. The Democrat
hold the key to the situation. They are
the balance of power.
Pi-publicans were today declaring that
some 1 lemoerats would not vote for
Thompson. The Democrats when asked
this, said no one had the right to make
the assertion.
The fight for supremacy between P.nl
ler and Pritchard has almost renched its
highest point. The Republicans were
wrong to have Congressman Skinner as
their Populist coadjutor and worker.
They also erred in allowing the Popu
dst bolteiB to holt too soon. The boll
ught not, according to good jolilies, to
cive . occurred until next Monday
sveain j. Tho Populists have hud two
lays to win!; on the 1(1 Populist bolters
and of the in have already returned to
he Populist caucus. Two more will do
o. McCaskey and Fugan.
1 1 is said Representative Rrower. Re
publican, will not vote for Pritchard foi
senator, but will vole for some pronounc-
si gold man. Rnnvr has all along hoped
che Senatorial ) iirlit n iiiir would strike
The legislative joint committee to in
vestigate the charges of bribing and
fraud in connection with the Senatorial
onlest is appointed. S hulken, Lusk
ind Nelson, (one of each parly; from the
House committee.
The fact leaks out today that the col
jred meniliers of the legislature, ten in
lumber, had n meeting and agreed not
to go for Pritchard unless soniethingub
Uantial was done for them. They declar
ed that they saw white Republicant
pouring in here, to get the patronage and
that it was their duty to lookout for
themselves.
John C. Daney, an influential negro
Republican, got wired of their movement
md hurried here. It is r.aid bv the per
on who cjves this bit ol news that ui
Dancv's Mi-s:esfioii Senator Pritchard
.milled up the i.."j;ro members and thai
hey signed an agi ecnient to nipport him
J pon his promise thai some North Caro
lina negro should cl the big paying
position of recorder of deeds of Ibe Dis

The Speaker of Houso has appointed

orial vote will Ik' taken.
Republicans are asserting today thai
t is Senator Puller's . earnest desire U
iave a deadlock in this Senatorial mat
er and prevent an election. They say
ie and Cy. Thompson are both front the
ast and that Thompson will in 19i)c

hitler's plain succeed there w ill be per
nanent end of all fusion of Republicans

The Republicans say they wish l.
