I The members of the General Asau$iblj will remember she tension lor one, cause ' if no other, the rain and the mud. Hal .. eighties claim that It Is years since 4 he streets have been so bad, in spite of the " Improvement, but probably tbsy are not ' so bad nr the mud so deep ss when Leg Islalors have been known to be carried aoross ilie street on strong men's bhoul ders at one dollar apiece. But this was In the long ago. There was no night session last night, out of compliment to the Blind Institn tlon, An entertainment was given in the new building to which the members ' were Invited. Many accepted and en joyed the prtfgram of music, drills and . band playing. The big hall 120 by 85 feet Is at the top of the building ' and contains 1,1)00 chairs. The b.iildfng is flro proof and a fine structure. . The alteudance at both llouso and Senate was very fair yesterday. Num bers of new bills were introduced. In the Senate, to give additional Justices of the I'esce to Craven Introduced by Sena tor Brown in the absence of t-ennt r Bryan, who is still confined to his rooms In the Uousu, a bill lopioxidu for the appoinlmout of directors and Siute -proxy for the A. & N. O. Kullroad by Leak. The bill regarding directors of the N. G.R.K provides that they shall be elec ted by the Hlate board of internal im provements ami that that board shall also have power to remove them and fill the vacancies. The reply of the State treasurer to the resolution of inquiry ad to what sums ol money be bad paid out to the peniten tiary, fcc, was received and placed in the bands of the finance committee. The reply of the Governor was read to the Inquiry as to what vacancies there are on the board of directors of the pen itentiary. Tbo reply said there were two from the 7th and 0th districts. Win ston said one of these had occurred within the past 48 hours. lie then placed in nomination William O. Newland from .". the 7th and liar Ion L. Bryan from the . 6th. Newland and Bryan were elected. , The bill to regulate the bonds of offi cers In Craven county passed the House on a Jnnl reading. A bill was lutro ' ducetl by McNeill to reduce the ratss On ' tbo ferry at Wilmington across the Cape Pear river 23 per cent, to take the place of a former bill calling for a 60 per " cent seduction In certalu cases. Under the head of unfinished business In the genatetbo bill to repeal section , 8113 of the Code again came n p. This bill provides tbat a local option election shall be held once In 8 year on the pett- - tlon of one-third of the qualified voters ; of a county, and In any month of the - year Instead of Jane, as formerly. The majority of toe Senate seemed to be opposed lo the measure, and amend. ments excepting county after county was read by tbe clerk. 'i finally Senator Glenn asked permis sion to withdraw the bill he bad Intro duced It and tu allowed ft (to so.

The Joint flnanle committee, gave a hearing yesterday to the nil road people rejarriLng the proposed Ux on the grot earning of lh loads, varying from l to. save $10,000 for a building was necet Stptrccut. All the large railroads of eary. lie also said tbat 10,O K) wonh Ud Stale were represented., President Elliott of the A. O. Line spoke and Col Andrews of the Southern gave his rea sons against the tax. There ws much complaint that thia tax was being brought forward each year, anil that while efforts were being msde to cut down rates tholr taxes were being raised at the same time. Tbe committee has taken tbe arguments under consider ation. The merchants are still fulling for ward their best efforts to seedre tbe re peal of the Purchase Tax aid the com mittee seems td be weakening . untUft their attacks.' There Is talk of a license tax taking ' I ta place. It is generally called and considered sn "unjust" tax, but the revenue derived from It is too ffempting til thriiw away without some thing to take lis place. Tbe railroad gross. income tax wa supposed to nupply the deficiency, but a tlr Is being caused by tbat proposed taxation. ' A small meeting was held by the Wil son Railroad Commission committee. It seems as if it was about1 time to closcl that farce. Tho trivial style of teati-, mony brought forward, and the big lid it of the lawyors are both tiresome. Mean- timehe commissioners appointed for securing ' fresh testimony are scouring lite mountain country so that a frcah lot of rubbish will be draggeil down to the capital In a few days to wrangle over. A small but slowly increasing howl is beginning over the delay in providlff a Jim Urow law. There are so many propositions on the matter toat the com mittee has become tangled up.

( The cold snap has come and frozen up the mud and water, so that it is possible to travel tbe street dry shod. The change will probably improve the health of the Legislators, so many of them are laid up with grip. A sod death occurred vesteTdar when sirs. Davis, wife of Claude W. Davis, the Representative of Hyde county, died In this city. Mrs. Davis was taken with pneumonia last Tuesday and being In weak health, a fatal termination was the result. She was only 20 years of age and leaves a child S months old. Theremslns leavo here today for interment at ber former home. Mr. Davis himself is quite sick. Tbe various committees are kept busy and members are constantly being added to them, as the , work increases or the absence of some from sickness needs a substitute, Tho regular working com mittees arc so Increased that some mem bers are on so many committees that they bate a hard time to got around. Senator Jackson was yesterday added to the committee on banks and currency. Early yesterday a bill was railroaded through both Houses and became a law. frant tbe time of lis introduction to-4be final official signature was less than!, an boar. It was to take from the Agricul tural Department I he power to erect buildings. A new addition to themuaawTfl J la arranged for and. It, became known that In the afternodn the fusion admin istratlon intended to let the contract for the new structure. Ilenco the blU was nut through at lightning apeed 'rod be fore dlnaer a law of fhe State prohibited the agtlcultural department from mat Ing any agreement of the sort. While tbo fnn lasted messengers and clerks were kept flying back and forth with the document. Senator Brown- put it through the Senate and Winston pulled It through tbe House.

He spoke of the needs of the development of the cotton milling industry; saying it was a thor oughly practical question; that tbe hope of the State was tbe foBleriug of the inaaufaclteing interests, He said the battle of commercial supremacy would be won In i these textile schools. Ilia allusion to I Vance as "the loaf st mau was appiaaua, ana ai ma ciose 01 m speecn be was heartily applauded. There was considerable opposition to tbe bill. The chief reasou was that the DcmaLsratio-psrly came into power with the promise of cutting down expenses and it wis "Inadvisable" to appropriate mpjte ki ttfs time. Others got behind the idea that the money should go to the convtoon schools. The supporters of theTjill were good fighters and it was finally pnt to a vote at 2:30 o'clock and carried 67 to 37. The hearing of the Wilsons case beforv the committee was held in the fseuaie chamber in the afternoon. Some H?rogress, so to speak, was made; that is to say, tho same meeting need not be held again. Maj. Wilson loslitied staling that be had never asked for or received speclttl privileges from telegraph com panies or express companies: Major Wilson has many friends who will Bland by him through thick and thin. To the rcsl of the world this trial Is getting m ieut. The important hearing was before the ooinmitlee having tho Stevens anli-tiusl bill In cliarge. As much as possible has been said lnfavor of this bill, the rule at any price section of the press prais ing it to the seventh heaven. Tester tcrday It got some licks that it will have lo be tough to recover from. A. U. Itoyden of Salisbury, J. C. Stevenson of Wilmington, M. L. Mlchaux of Greensboro and Motes Cone, made remarks against the bill. Mr. Boyden said that people weuld buy where goods were cheapest, regardless of laws, and the Legislature could not prevent it Mr. Cone gave his views and said that bis people were planning to build a $280, 000 mill for manufacturing cotton flan nel, but if if lhc5th section of this bill was passed he aid not expect to remain Vta Nrth Carolina. Ue had a charter in New Jersey and that his firm was not a Jtrust.Tbe words of these gentlemen furnished food for thought to tho com mil tec. Iloblnson of the committee of fered this amendment, "Provided, that this bill shall not apply to any wholesale merchant or jobber doing business in North Carolina, nor shall it apply to fishing, trucking or canning lu North Carolina or persons, firms or corpora tions therein." So it appears that home tiusts are very good things. The merchants purchase tax was also under discussion and visiting merchants were freely expressing their views There is a decided improvement for the repeal or change of the law. The pro posed license will be recommended by the committee and the advocates are well pleased with the apparent results of their efforts. K. S. Finch Charlotte has been given an eplion on all tbe swamp lands of the State by the Board of Education. There are 800,000 acres of these swamp lands. The option price is 50 cents an acre. The caucus last night adopted the proposed amendment to the constitution. It Js practically as already outlined. The "grandfather" clause was moved up to the year 1008, before which time registra tions may be made. The bill will be brought into the Senate next Wednes day and as soon as posted will go to the House. -Evidence was brought before tho Ju dietary Committee in regard to the drunkenness Judge Norwood while on tbe bench. .

With tbe fine strategy for which the American naval commander Is noted, he placed bis vessel In a position directly In front of the city, between the Spanish gunboat General A lava and tbe German cruiser and the troops ashore. The significance of this wove will be readily grasped. ' This was a fight be tween Americans and Flllpinosaud no outsiders could be permitted to enter tbe ring, so Admiral Dewey constituted himself a sort of referee to say, "hands off", if It became necessary.

The same cablegram states that the situation at Manila is "rapidly Improv ing." Tho Filipino army, General Otin says, Is disintegrated snd natives (lis playing white flags are returning to the villages. Detachments of Filipinos still occupy In force the fortified towns of Pasig and Paranaque, near Manila. -The American lines were not material- extended yesterday and the troops bad their first rest since last Saturday. The victorious soldiers are in high spirits and, according to a cablegram from Manila, seem to regard their expe- lenca as a picnic rather than as a stein reality. A burly Colorado trooper, dis cussing the rapture of the Manila water works, said it reminded him of the Colo rado plains. The night attack on Caloocan was bravely make by Kansas troopB. Alter capturing the towu, they weie with drawn to prevent them from being anni hilated by Dewey's shells, w hich were dropping into the place.

DRIVEN INLAND, Ftllplnas HUH Brio- Punned. Will Be Cronhed At Once. The latest advices from Manila arc that the American troops continue to drive the Filipinos inland. General Otis' Boldiers have attacked Santolan, eleven miles northeast of the city. A brigade also captured Ihe Manila water works, which had previously been held by Ihe Filipinos. Some of the natives arc making a de termined resistance, but are poor marks men. The remainder of the Filipino army's Mirvivors are retreating. It has been decided to begin a vigorous and aggressive campaign against Hie Fil ipinos. General Otis is to move al once on Malolos, the capital of Ihe native re public, and General Miller is to attack Hollo. The cabinet at Washington has reached the conclusion that Aguinaldo's men be forced to lay down their arms if order Is to be maintained in the Philii Aguinaldo has issued a proclamation of war against the Americans. General Otis, in a cablegram to Wash ington, estimates that the Filipinos have lost 4,000 killed, wounded or captured This is believed to be below the correct figures. The General has sent additional cable grams giving the names ol the Ameri cans killed and wounded, bringing the killed up to 40 and the wounded up to 14S, He estimates that the Americans' total loss is 2 0.
