Mr. Moody-of Haywood, opposed the amendment. 1 Mr. Moody said the pres ent code was almost -worthless. Mr. Fowler asserted that the present Code was arranged by three of the most emi nent lawyers in the State. He saw- no reason for increasing4he salary; it was not in the line of reform or economy. Mr. Dowd offered an amendment to make the salary $1,000. He said from what he j heard, $500 would be a big salary ior some 01 tne1 commissioners. Mr. Paddison 's amendment was adopt ed.

Mr. Monroe spoke in support of the bill, and of the importance of the protection against fire. which was proposed- Mr. Campbell said it was a duty to protect the insane from fire. Mr. Williams said t(jat the cost of $1,000 for the fire-alarm con nection was excessive; that he would give bond to do the work for $300. Mr. Monroe said that Mr. . Williams wpuld be given the contract at those figures. Mr. White, of Bladen, said the appro priation was most necessary. Mr. Buchanan offered an amendment reducing the approprfation $8,000. Mr. White antagonized this, and paid the economical administration of the asy lum a high compliment, and said the committee had not recommended any appropriation save what was necessary. Mr. Hack offered an amendment to re duce the total appropriation $5,000. Mr. Monroe said the figures for the fire alarm had been gone over by Senator Grant, an expert. The amendmeut to reduce the appropriation So.uuu was adopted,, and the bill passed second reading, 40 to 37. Mr. White, of Bladen, on third reading, moved to strike out the amendment just adopted. Me de manded that the yeas and nays'be call ed. Mr. Monroe said there would be 100 additional patients this year and that the appropriation aske.d for was only $1,000 more than the last one.

Mr. Monroe spoke in its support, saying the increase was only $4,000 a year, and that this year there would be 000 patients. He said there were 140 more patients than there were two years ago. Mr. Lusk said he was one 01 , tne- com mittee that visited the Hospital. and he fully concurred in Mon roe's remarks as to the splen did management of the Hospital. He said it was impossible to manage an jnstutition better. He said that 200 more patients coul3 now be provided for. Here is a new building, the walls of which are up, built ont of savings of the past two years, and that this will shelter 200 of the noisy patients. There are applications on file for the admission of 140 persons, who are in jails and wno need the care this noble institution gives. He said that it was charged that the f usioniss would cripple the asylums and schools, and that the lie jmust be given to this by a liberal policy. Mr. Bryan, Populist, said the appropriation was extravagant. The bill passed third reading, without a dissenting vote. Bill came up to let the quanneu vo ters of Cumberland vote as to whether the stock law shall stand. Tabled. The bill to amend the charter of Wil mington came up. Mr. French offered two amendments, which were adopted. One of these continues in qftloe the present administration. "He then offered another amendment. Mr. Ray said Mr. McClammy was absent and that he wanted to give him a chance; to be heard, and so moved that the bill be informally passed over. Mr. irench said that Mr. McClammy was to offer The last amendment that it was a com promise. At this moment Mr. McClam my came in and Mr. French caned on him to say whether this was true.- Mr. McClammy said that wnue he opposed any change in the charter of Wilming ton, yet Mr. Rice's bill ,lid not make such rradical changes as did other proposed bills. U He said that he did not favor any change. He spoke of the good government which the Democrats bad, since ls71, given the people of Wilmington. He declared his opposition to the bill and always opposed any change in the city's char ter. . Lineback asked what will be the effect on the city if the bill passes. Mr. McClammy said that he did not know what would be the effect. Mr. French said the bill conceded more to the van quished than any measure he bad ever known. lie called on Air. lineman to ter had been considered in the Populist caucus and it had been agreed on to support the measure. Mr. French said the whole matter had been agreed on in caucus. He called the previous question on the second reading of the bill. ! The vote was ayes 60, noes 39. Mr. French moved to suspend the rules and put the bill on its third reading, This failed by two votes. He then moved that the bill be made the special order for to-morrow at noon The . House took up the contested election case of Morphew against Craw ford from McDowell and decided in fa vor of Crawford. Then it took up the cases of Person and Garrett against Howard and ; Baker from Edgecombe and found in favor of the- latter, who are Democrats. In the case of Person aeainst Tomlinson, from Wilson, the report-was that the latter should retain hla seat. . " : Mr. Ewart rose to a question of per sonal privilege on a&editorial jn to day's Caucasian: charginr his elections committee with not treating Populists fairly, but showing partiality to Renub lican contestants. He said that he had fallen under the baa of the Caucasian, whether for what he had done or what he would not agree to do, he could not say. - He denounced the article as a lie as false and as black: as the gates of neu. lie attached tne editors i tne Caucasian, and said that attack was unwarranted and that mere was no Dower to intimidate him or force him to do-anything contrary to his views of MgDt and justice, tie said the Fopu lists on the committee had stood by mm always m decisions. . At noon the bill to appropriate $10. 000 to complete the Confederate mono ment same up as a special order. Mr. French said he favored the bill but would like to have it go over until to night, Mr. Lusk said he hoped there would be no delay in passing the bill. mr fTench then withdrew nis motion. A minority report against the bill. signed by Hileman, Bryan and one oth er, was read; also a letter from Marion Roberts Post, G. A. R. urging that the bill pass. mr. liryan said that tne senate had de feated a bill to make this appropriation out of the direct tax funds, but that it had passed a bill making a direct appro priation, tie entered his protest against tne passage of the bill and said the old soldiers in Chatham protested against It. Mr. Turner, 01 Mitchell, antagonized the bill, as did Mr. Henderson, both of these saying the schools needed the money. Both eulogized the Confeder ate soldiers. Mr. Ewart offered an amendment that the money appropriated under the terms of this bill should be raised by taxation of 5 cents on each gallon of whis key or brandy made in the state, tie said all the people of his name had lost their lives for the Confederacy. He said that the wealthy people of the State ought to nave raised this money long ago, and not force the Legislature to take the money from a depleted Treas ury. Mr. Lineback spoke eloquenty in sup port of the bill, and described pathetic ally his return from the war and his brother's death at Sharpsburg. He de clared that he could not vote against the bill, yet was as much in favor of educating the children as any man in the State. He said he wanted to help in the way of taxation to thus enact a monument to his brother. fApplause.l Mr. Hunter said his grounds for vot ing on this matter were different from those of others. His father had fought for the Stars and Stripes. His father was a member of a G. A. It. post. Mr. Lusk asked if this was the post which had asked this House to vote for. this bill. Mr. Hunter said he had no ani mpsity towards Confederate soldiers. He said he voted against the bill from no such feelinsr. ! Mr. Campbell sent up an amendment to Ewart s amendment that all thei funds raised over and above $10,000 be applied to the public schools. Mr. Ewart said he wpuld accept this. It was voted down by the House, however. Mr. Lusk said he opposed most earn estly any such thing as raising a fund from a whiskey tax to build a monu ment to the glorious dead of the Con federacy. Mr. Ewart's amendment was then voted down overwhelmingly. Mr. Hileman spoke in opposition to the bill, saying the condition of the Treasury would not permit an appro priation. He said that he did not be lieve that patriotism was dead in North Carolini.' and that the money ought - to be raised and could be raised by the people.-' Mr. Brvan gave notice that he would demand the yeas and nays on the passage of the bill. Mr. Lusk, who took the floor, told Mr. Bryan he could have the roll call a thousand times over. He then made an eloquent and forceful speech in support of the bill, and was generously applaud ed. He was greatly affected and there wese tears in his eyes. He said that in future years the people who saw it would say there is a monument to the memory of our fathers. He appealed to his fu-sion friends to stand by him. He said the Democrats would vote solidly for it. Mr. Campbell said he stood in a con vention in Tennessee when a resolution was introduced to disfranchise every man who had been in the rebel army. County after county voted aye, but he voted no, and there was a dead silence over the House. Mr. Smith, of Gates, made an earnest' speech in support of the bill. Mr. Woodward also spoke in favor of the bill. Several other speeches were made, Mr. Smffh, pf Stanly, mak ing an eloquent appeal. Mr. Ewart sent forward an amend ment that the money be appropriated from the direct tax fund now ia the Treasury. Mr. Hileman made a mo tion to table this, and demanded the yeas and nays upon his motion. The chair stated that if this were done it would table the bill. The vote was ayes 45, noes 61. There was great ap plause on the floor and in the galleries when the vote was announced. The question then wason Mr. Ewart's amendment. Mr. Peebles said that the House had passed the bill to place the direct tax fund in the school fund. Mr. Bryan said that the bill had not passed the senate but that the commit tee on education there had reported it unfavorably. He urged that the ap propriation be made out of the direct tax funth Mr. Ewart said that as there was some1 doubt as to the status of the direct tax bill he would withdraw his amendment. The vote was then taken on the bill on its second reading. Mr. n lie man demanded the ayes and nays. The vote was ayes GO, noes 38. - Mr. lineman moved that tne House take a recess until 7:30 to-night. Mr. Lusk moved that the rules be suspend ed and the bill be put on its" third read ing.' MV.tLiinebaek moved to table Mr. Hileman's motion. Mr. Hileman de manded the yeas and nays. The vote was ayes 53, noes 41. Mr. Lusk then moved that the rules be suspended and the bill put upon its third reading. Ew art insisted that the time ior adjourn ment had come. He insisted on this and so the House adjourned. HOUSE NIGHT SESSION. J.t the night session of the House there was a lively discussion on a bill which makes an appropriation of $1 for every dollar raised by the people of Winston for a. colored normal school. It passed. - A substitute or compromise Dill regu lating building and loan associations was taken up. It was prepared after discussion before the committee by. for etgn and borne associations. Mr. McCall favored the bilL Mr. McClam my offered an amendment providing that -the premiums charged shall not exceed a greater rate than 6 per cent. He asserted that under , the provisions of the bill the foreign companies could charge from 12 to 18; percent if they desired; that representatives 01 foreign associations, did not ( Object to his amendment. A motion was made to table the amendment. This would. of course, carry the bul with it Mr. Peebles demanded the yeas and nays- The vote was ayes 21, noes 03. Mr. Ray spoke in support of the bill. which he said was drawn ia the interest of the home associations. Mr. Ewart declared that the profits of these asso ciations did not come from usurious in terest. : This bill in nowise conflicts with the 6 per cent. Interest bill, r.-It settles case bow In. - the Supreme Court on which that court had divided. Mr McClammy s amendment was lost. The bill passed ayes 57, . noes 22.

All the Democrats voted no and this put Mr. Henderson and his crowd I n hole.v They became quite scared wnen Mr. ifiwart said that they had just as weir turn the convicts loose on the State. Mr. French j at this moment moved' to adjourn and this prevailed, leaving the bill hanging in ine air. i AMERICA A'I SPAIN. The Relation Existing- Between the Two Countries Snows to Be Host Cordial. Madrid, March 7. Deputy ! Lema questioned the government id the Con gress to-day as to the attitude of the United States toward Spain in the mat ter of the Cuban insurrection. Senor Abarzuza, Minister of the Colonies, re plied that he had conferred with United States Minister Taylor on ly as to the penalties inflicted upon Americans in Cuba. The general relations between the countries were cordial, as . was proved by the manner in which the Nueva Espagna was received at Tampa.

Special from Tampa, Fla., says: Edward La borde who was arrested at Havana when the revolution broke out arrived here to-night. He is an American citi zen and the Spanish government re leased him from prison. He is a broth er of one of the medical students shot by tne government :n i7l and one or the leaders of the movement in the United States. To-night he and Quesada are closeted and neither one can be seen. It is rumored he has brought important news from the island for the secretary of the movement in the United States and further that that news is of an en couraging nature. Beyond that, noth- ng can be learned. Everything is quiet but it is evident that the Cubans are laboring under suppressed excite ment. The Story That Consul General Williams' Recall ia Desired is Not Credited. j Washingtos, March 7. The State! Department has received no intimation: either from the Spanish minister or any other source as to dissatisfaction with Consul General Williams. On the contrary, bis record at the department shows that he has been remarkably suc cessful in adjusting the numerous little difficulties in customs matters and other complications that have arisen be tween the United States and the Spanish authorities in Cuba. The cable dis patch from Madrid as to a demand for his recall is discredited at the depart ment. ADVENTURES OF THE ISTKIAN. She Finally Arrives At Kew Port News Af- . ter Being- 43 Days Oat. Nokfolk. Va., March 7. A special from New Port News to the Landmark says: After being out 43 days; the steamship Istrian came up t5 her pier this morning at 8 o clock with 2,200 tons of .cargo from Liverpool. Captain Creamer gave your correspondent the following history of his long voyage: We left Liverpool at midnight on the 24th day of January and had very se vere weather coming down the channel, being obliged to carry our pilot to Wa- terford island, as it was impossible to land him at the Liverpool pilot station on account of the heavy weather, j The storm continued till the 27th, when we bad it lair till February 2nd, when we again encountered a heavy gale from northwest, lasting nearly three weeks, it being so severe at times that my ship was obliged to stop, and we were at the mercy of th6 sea. . We were then six hundred miles from i Ber muda, on February 10th, for which point we were making, as there were only about 85 tons of coal on board and wc were burning 35 tons a day. Up to the 20th we experienced the most severe gales and the storm was indescribable For five days we had no ore at all. If we had kept -up steam during! this weather and had tried to make Ber muda, we would never have gotten into port. On the night of the 22nd we were again compelled to stop, letting our fires go out again. At midnight on the 23rd the ship started again. The wind being in our favor, we set sail and . put every man to work breaking up between decks, bulkheads, cargo, batting, spars. hatches and anything available" for wood. On the morning of the 26th we reached Bermuda with the last stick of wood burnt and could not possibly have gone 10 miles further. A Riot in ia Railroad Camp. ' Yakmouth, N. S.r March 7.

Reported for the Observer. . j ; Raleigh. March 7. Last nisht after Lmidnight your correspondent met Col Harry. Skinner, lust as tne latter, jn company with Mr. Marion Butler and Maj. W. A. Guthrie, came out of the PoouUst caucus. Col. Skinner rave me the notes of his speech there which he said had -prevented the Change of the charter ot Wilmington, v , Yet this bill came, ap; In the House to-day and the Populists in many cases voted ror it.. Why ine change? Mr. French laughed and said it was not the first time that bklnner bad ' been run over. Capt. nitchin said to-day that in the caucus when & vote was taken on the matter there was no real count that lust as the vote was taken there was a motion to adjourn and the crowd swept out. Now this is. queer pro ceeding, j . i - Your correspondent this afternoon interviewed Harry Skinner, who gave out the news last ; night that there was a defeat in the caucus of the Wilming ton charter. Col Skinner said: "The only thing in which I was de ceived by the caucus was this charter matter. I know that a majority of the Populists in that caucus were opposed to a change of the charter, and I am surprised -and ! cannot j understand the influences which caused the pas sage of the bill, unless it may be that French and Russell have convinced the Populists that the real financial control of. the city remains in Democratic hands. French called on me to-day and said he was satisfied my opposi tion to the charter bill was en tirely upon the wrong i basis; that I did not understand tne bin, which was conservative and met the approval of at least one wing of the Democratic party in Wilmington; that if I would get the bill and make it a matter of thought my opposition would end; that be agreed with me generally, that it would be unwise politically to turn any cities over to incompetent management, but that his bill had been carefully pre pared with an eye single to the material interests of Wilmington, and that no harm would result fromits passage. Sena tor Forbes and Representatives Currie and Johnson told Mr. McCaskie, chair man, of the Populist caucus, that they be lieved the plan to amend Wilmington's charter bad been defeated. They did not impute any improper motives to Mr. McCaskie. It got through by a declara tion, from; the chairman that it 'had passed 20 to 10, when outsiders who were prssent were sure the vote was ust the reverse of this, and sd told Mr, McCaskie after the caucus adjourned." Col. Skinner spoke very frankly about j this matter. Your correspondent is : assured by some Republicans tnat tnougn umo Wilson gets the railroad commissioner- ship they will never vote for him. It was- decided at the separate cau cuses last night that there should be a oint caucus to-night. It is the. first joint caucus in over a fortnight; so7 the lion and the lamb have laid down to gether. The lamb, is of course, inside of the lion. ' While-It was decided at the caucuses lastnngfct'td adjourn next Tuesday, yet some members say to-day that adjourn ment may not be had until. Wednesday. To-night's caucus was for the ratifica tion of the division of the offices. The Republicans carry the day in the mat ter' of the code commissioners and hold on to two of them. It is said that the last Code cost 325,000, and the question is raised as to what neces sity there is now for this large expendi ture, y The Republicans get the second posi tion at the penitentiary, and this goes to Underwood, of Nash county. The fusionists are to evenly divide the pat ronage of the penitentiary and of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad, While Senator Grant, or Duncan, of Beaufort, is to be made , president of that road, yet the change 1 will Hot be made until next September, when the regular annual meeting is held, Senator Grant so informs me. The bill regarding this road provides for the election of State proxy and to equalize the stock so that the State will have the same representation as private individuals. 'This, ot course, is to put the road in the hands of the State proxy, who, it was arranged, should be selected bv to-night's caucus. Senator. Grant assures me that tne University appropriation bill will pass without any trouble and also tne nor mal and Industrial School appropria tion bill. The State board of education to-day made nominations to fill the vacancies, which will occur in March next year, of the trustees of the Normal and Indus trial College. The board sent to the Senate these names: John Graham, Pop ulist, from the second district; Senator J. E. Fowler, Populist, from the third district, and J. O. Wihjpx, Republican, from the eighth district. The committee on magistrates, oi which Mr. Ewart is chairman, to-day bad a final hearing on its lists. Some changes will be made to-morrow, when the list will be made public. It is found that the railroad commis sion has power to deal with boycotts by railroads, and for this reason the Boy cott bill was unfavorably reported to- Abbott and r rencn. ooin nonaern men, to-day voted most heartily ior tne Confederate monument appropriation. Senator Moody, chairman of the in sane asylum committee, tells me posi tively that no change of management will be made; that some extreme Re publicans desired to break the1 agree ment with the Governor, but that these are completely overslaughed. . Messrs. f ortune, Walser, jswart, Wil liams and Petrie call themselves the "old guard, " because they have always been straight-outs and bitterly opposed to joint caucuses, ancr in favor of de manded that the Populists take second place in the combination. They say that the Republicans cast 120,000 votes and the PoduHs's not over 30,000. Sen ators Moodv and Cook have on the con trary been always ardent ror joint cau cuses. '--. There is a little bit of history in re cord to the bill to make .a new direc torate of the Western Hospital at Mor ganton. It was agreed that Mr.. Jbwart and Mr. Georee H.

She Xeft the Prince of Wales' Crack Yacht, The Britannia, la the Luren at Cannes. Cakses, March 7. The new" yacht,' Ailsa, sailed her "maiden race .to-day . and won It, fully justifying the confi dence iof her owner, Mr. A. B. Walker, ; and her designer, Mr. Will Fife, that she would give a good account of .her self. She not only did this, delighting her partisans, but she also surprised and discomfited rthe admirers of the Prince i ot Wales' cutter - Britannia. which they believed invincible. The weather 1 was clear and the sun shone clear andbright-,a balmy breeze promised a delightful day for outing, but not one for fast racing... The course was ' trian- Eular, from the club house I around the ' ilaod of St. Honorea to Point D'Aguille and back, ten miles, the course to be sailed over three times, makincr a total distance of thirty miles. The race was , for purses and medals as follows: The first, a prize of 2,000 francs and a gold medal; the second, 500 francs and silver. medaL and the third, 100 francs and a bronze medal. It The starters were the Brittannia, Ailsa and Corsiar. L The Britannia had the windward po sition as the yachts crossed the line. which they did in this order until Cor sair was 10:02:10; Britannia 10:05:05; Ailsa 10:00:10. ; ; il-' ..' The breeze was light to start with . but soon freshened. . ' ' -- The score in rounding the home mark at the finish of 'the first round was: Britannia 11:50:00;! Ailsa 11:57:10; Corsair 12:,10:50. : The finish of the sec ond round was:: Britannia 1:10':30; Ailsa 1:11:03. And the final finish was; Ailsa 2:21:40; Britannia 2:24:30. The Ailsa crossed the line two min utes and fifty seconds ahead of the Britannia.' , . , -- A ' The harbor was filled with boats' of every description, from warships to the humblest; craft containing interested . and enthusiastic witnesses of the races. . The Ailsa has proved herself a won- . derful boat. Her performance to-day, the first, day she has had her racing sails on, was marvelous. - Her owner, . Mr. A. B. Walker, and her designer,. Mr. Will Fife, were on board. : She was ' not well handled at the start, but after . a short time her crew seemed to get the bang of things,; and a decided change was noticeable. The Ailsa seemed to . work easy in stays and quick in going,. about, while she is as stiff as the Bri tannia. Old yacht captains are enthu siastic over ber, and declare that this was the best race ever seen here, i The Times correspondent in Cannes , says that in to-day 'B-raco the Ailsa was at a disadvantage in not having her There is no reasonable doubt, he says, that she will improve later.
