Huffman, the oitflwsr two directors, remain In of fice until 1901. Senator Smith said that ha .thought that the caucus ought to rnaita the nominations, and that the Seiiat ehould not proceed hastily In ' ' -thia matter He intimated that there ''had been a plan to keep ro mthe hoard a man Whom he considered eminently qualified , a director Dr. J. C. Her- rii of Columbus, Senator Justice counselled delay in the election of the ' " 1 director. He also had a candidate to " ' , nominate a dt. ector.

Senator Mc- P Intyr afctakea Herring. Vho ho said J : had been appointed by "Russell I years " ago tn the deaf and dumb board. and had immediately commenced an effort to tight the "Democratic memDers of the committee. He believed 'Herring was back of the statements made against Rlchardeon He did not think : any new member of the board need toe ap pointed, the present directors were good men, i'nd he considered the insti tutlon at Morganton one of the best managed properties owned by the State. Smi'h defended Herring and ex tolled him as a man and a Democrat Senator Osborne could not understand why in the v-orld a Dern"rat should be criticised because he was 'Russell's appointee. Hv considered that when a pemocrat was offered a position by the Governor It was his duty to accept it. It meant a 'iilbute to the party, and signified that Russell, after looking .in vain aver the ranks of the fulonlsts was forced to turn to the 'Democrats to select a good man. The raembira of the Senale and the spectators were fast coming to the con clusion that i'l. is matter should have been settled in caucus, and welcomed Senator James' motion that the special order be postponed until next "Monday. Thf bill to c.eate (he new county of Scotland came up on second reading. .Senator Mclntyre opposed the bill and said that the 'Democratic party would be hurt if tli" division was made.

Senator Glenn said that he was in favor of 'the creation of the new cojnty. He believed that the new county would be sufficiently large to stand on Its own strength, and on instancing counties thut nad separated and become Rreat he mentioned Dur ham. 'Wilson, Pender and others. He did not think that the division for the county would hurt the Democrat!,'- par ty, and he beiiived that in considera tion of the matter the Senate should leave out the clement of politics. Glenn made an elegant plea for the new coun ty, and was loudly applauiied by '(he Scotland contingent, which had filled the lobby and the galleries. Senator Hicks also mace a speech for Scotland, as did Sena-tor Travis The discussion of the bill was protracted. At 2:30 Senator "Cocke, chairman of 'the. committee on counties, cities and towns, callel for the previous question. Upon the roll being called the vote on the bill stool ayes 38, noes 4.

MANILA, Feb. 16. In the critical condition here Gen. Otis was warned of a plot to rise against the Americans to night and burn the city so the sentries are doubled and extraordinary police precautions taken. Last night the pro vost goard se:;.ed 100 armed plotters conspiring in a house at "Blninudo. a suburb. The house proved to have arms and ammunitiot. in large quantities. These were seized by our soldiers. Much money a found, together with a large ejuantity f uniforms, paraph an a 11a, and numbers of incendiary documents. Aguinaldo's spits are scatcred through out the city. They are -onstantly be ing arrested trying to flip the Ameri can lines. There is do doubt that a general upns'ig was planned and only postponed in consequence of American vigilance. The withdrawal of the Cali fornia outpo-iis and contracting the American lines is due to the harrassing tactics of the natives Gen. Otis cables for reinforcements. OT.'.S- MESSAGE.

Will be Presented at 'the Academy ..f ic Tonight Go and Enlov Mu Yourself. For ,-e'Veral years the name of Charles Hoyt has had a magic, sound in the us c't' the American theatre-goers. Al ways fresh, unhackneyed and tilled with new unconventional situations, odd and mirth-provoking, his merry -ome- lies have long held a firrt place in the affections a great portion ot the play- oers of this country, and the mere an nouncement of al presentation of a Hoyt play is always enough to set the- cn'tire immunity ago, and it is an event look ed forward to with a great ileal of pleasure. Mr. rloyt sends to the- Academy of Music tonight his "A S'irangei- in New York." whie-h Is known to be his pet creation. This comedy is popular with our theatre-goers by reason of its enor mous success when last presented in Washington. Sinse its last visi't to Washington Mr. Hoyt has given it his up-to-date touch and in many ways greatly improved it. and -it Is now said that '"A Stranger in New York" in its present form reflects its talented eiu thor's iersonality more than anything else he has written. It teems with crisp dialogues and witty (lings that give it the 'true 'Hoylian flavory it is original in every line and situation, the unexpected always happening, and no sooner does one laughable situation go by than the auditor is suddenly plung ed into another before he has scarcely ceased laughing at (the last. It is by this constant keeping the Interest at the extreme tension that one secret of Hoyt'e success may be discovered. The audience never knows what to expect The well known comedian, Mr. John D. Gilbert will head the company. The coming of "A Stranger in New York" will be one of the important the atrical events of the season, and tha't this fact is fully appreciated by amuse ment seekers is pretty- well evidenced by the early and brtek demand for seats In advance.
