Tbe eleclioa law has paaaed tba flooae
and it famished tbe chief point of later-
yeaterday. There waa a big kick for
the Repnblloana aad Popoll.u to lu
paaaaga aad la fact It waa tba first alga
la a bg time that there waa Ufa la tbe
oorpaa.
Tba declarattoa was made by tlaaiptoa
that tba people weald repudiate thia
alectloa law at tba polls. He said the
worst of tba provisions waa that for
challenges at tba polls, and Williams
offered an amendment providing for
regialrars and poll-holders of different
parlies, lis declared that "tba great Re
publican party here la North Carolina
la not dead bat aleepetk." Prltchard of
Mitchell, said the 'Western people would
not aubmtl to such a law, that the white
men there would not be trifled with or
suffer their liberty at the ballot box to
be abridged.
These criticisms an tba aleclioa law
did not distnrb tba Democrats. They
smiled and whan all waa said Winston
explained In terse and vigorous style Ike
provisions of the new law. He aald that
he was under obligation to the opposi
tion, white and black, for Us concern,
expressed for tba future of tbe Democrats-
He aald the election law, with the
exception of tbe Bute and county elec
tion boards, waa tbe same as that In
effect np to 1893. He arraigned tba fusion
partv s election law. wbich It termed a
"fair" election law. The provlalone of
the law be said had been thoroughly
digested by the Democ ratio oanens aud
he called th previous question.
The amendments proposed by the
fuaioniats had first to be voted on and a
roll call waa insisted. This waa bad and
the first amendment was voted down.
Then the other amendments were voted
on without a roll call and each time the
(unionists voted "aye" and then tbe
Democrats followed with a "no" that
nearly raised tbe roof. It waa quite
funny.
The machinery act came np as a special
order. It was stated by Hoi man, upon
inquiry by Overman, that there were
very few changes from the old act, and
that these changes were of minor Impor
tance. ;
Overman then made a motion to dl
pense with the reading of tbe in lec
tions and 73 page of the :act. Bousball
aald tbe finance committee had in th
bill effected a saving of $10,000 In the
State by requiring sheriffs to make out
their own tax liata.
Winston ' offered an amendment to
section 18, which was adopted, "that any
person, corporation or firm who fails to
list tbe poll taxes or property taxes
required of them by law shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor."
A bill which was taken op wss to pro-
vlds for tbe government of the Agricul
tural and Mechanical College at Raleigh;
repealing all former laws.
Winston offered an amendment which
provide that the management and con
trol of the college abail be vested in a
board of 20 trustees, and tbe president
of tbe college is made ex-offlcio president
of Ibis board.. There are to be 7 trus
tees elected for 3, 7 for 4 and 7 for I years
It provides for tbe election at present of
a aulDcient number to make the number
XI, as the fusionisls whose terms do not
expire continue to hold office until ex
piration of such terms.
Justice said tbe main change from the
the old law ia th election of the trus
tee by the legislature and tbe provision
that the trustee are to meet on the 8nd
Monday in March and reorganize. The
bill passed its readings without debate
and by a unanimou vote. ,
. The penaion bill have been accumula
ting and yesterday 100 sucn were dis
posed of at once by being tabled. How
ever that was only fpr convenience for

There were no selection made for

caucua will b held Thursday night to
do that. It 1 said that a combine was
formed last night to elect a certain aet
and the postponement was made by th
oppoaltloa to give time to break the
combine which will probably be done.
The A. 4 N. C. R. R proposed aale to
Edwards is exciting considerable inter-
. The hearing before the committee
yesterday was given to Edwards aide of

road was in very bad condition, tbe roll

In the last atages of decay. ' Tonight tbe
oppoaltloa will be on deck and will tell
how fast the train run on th beautiful

near the road Is In apple pie order and
what a shame It would be to let the Stat

will decide to take np the matter. At

The fact that Gener.tl Otis finds it pos
sible to spsre men to go to other islands
of the Philippine group oulsi.le of truism
is regarded by the officials as tbe mosi
reassuring indication that has come to
the depanraent lately. It Is felt at the
War Department that General Otis
would not send soldiers to Negros and
to Cebd If he felt any doubt aa to his
ability to maintain himself at Manila.
It is said at the navy department that
there is no probability that additional
ships will be ordered to reinforce Admiral
Dewey. Admiral Dewey's purpose is to
make a determined attempt to cub off
further supplies of arms and ammuni
tion to lb insurgents. These, it
known, are going into the islands in
small quantities from Hong Kong and
Singapore: notwithstanding tbe efforts
of the United States secret service men
to prevent It.

Mr. Hull 1 outspoken In his criticisms
of tbe Senate bill as a whole and in (le
tall. - -"
When asked as to the plans for deal-
tbe bill
Irretrievably bad that it may be
best to accept It just as It Is. As It
stands tbe bill I au absurdity from be
ginning to end. It is impossible for tbe
House to whip it Into shape in the. few
remaining days of the session, so that It
is probably best for tbe House to let It
go aa Ibe Senate has seen fit to shape It."
Mr. Hull had a conference with 'the
President this eveulng concerning th
bill. It is understood that the President
shares tiie objections raised by Mr. Hull
te many features of tbe Senate bill.
At the same time there ia a desire to
avoid an extra session and for this rea
son the indications are that objections
to the bill will be waived and the meas-
' sure accepted.
