The Unlucky Breaking Up OF an AL
askan Expedition.
(By United Press).
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-An Alaskan
exploring expedition passed through
here five months ago en- route to the
northwestern territory. The party in
cluded E. J. Glave, who was with Stan
ley in Africa; w. II. Wells, Cincinnati
journalist; New York newspaper man
and several Others. Glave returned from
the North few weeks ago. Nothing
was heard of Wells or the others OF the
party until Saturday, when private let
ter from Janeau was received here, which
stated that the members of the explor-
ing party had serious trouble in their
| camp. The explorers quarreled and di-
vided into three parties. Glave started
| for New York in disgust. Wells and a
md of natives pushed on the interior.
| At last accounts they were showed IN
| for the winter with but forty pounds OF
flour in their camp. Others OF the ex'
dition took another route, striking over
land for southern Alaska.

The N. c. Allancemen Have Come
ant RecOllectiOns.
North Carolina was we'll and fully rep
resented at the meeting Of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union.
It carried off the highest honor in the
triumphant and unanimous reelection
of Col. L. L. Polk to the Presidency. 1t
was great honor to him to be elected to
that position last year. His re election
by acclamation last week was still
greater honor, and one which Col. Polk
must appreciate most highly. It must
be especially grateful to him to have re
ceived this endorsement when he had
the opposition of DR.. Macune and his
coterie of railroad tools and traitors to
the Alliance.
It was delegation ofleading citizens,
and North Carolina Was proud to have
such representation. Thy enjoyed an
elegant excursion through Florida, and
at every point an ovation was given
them. All are enthusiastic about Flori

THE SUBSIDY BILL.
Its Aims and PurpOses-.-And What
1t Will Cost the Government.
TBY United Press

lBY OnlCeu PreSS.
WASHINGTON, Dec Is Mr.. Farquhar,
of New York, chairman Of the House
committee on merchant marine aud fish
cries, reported the subsidy bill to the
House to-day With report recommend
ing its passage. The committee in it's
report calls particulr attention to GER
tain details of the bill. First. as to the
distinction made in favor of vessels per-
forming voyages Of 1000 miles, or less.
Those will be mainly, it says, to ports
in the West Indies, Mexico, and
Central America. Over seventy and
under five hundred miles the bounty will
be ten cents regardless of tho exact
distance sailed. Also, over 500 and un-
der 1000 miles it will be 30 cents with
out regard to precise measurement.
This adjustment has been carefully
framed, not only to equalize the advan
tages and facilities of Northern and
Southern ports, but to make sure that
the neighboring countries of our cont
nent and it's fertile islands may have
increased trade with the United States,
and especially to secure the gateway OF
of the Gulf ports to the shipping that
should hail from them.
The committee appends to its report 8
letter from Mr.. Bates, the commissioner
of navigation, showing that the tota
payments under this bill for the frs
year, under the provisions of this sub
stitute bill would aggregate 50, 100, $50

LEGISLATIVE SUGG ESTION.
dallas Eagle.)

We think that our next Legislature
would do we'll to pass law requiring
the railroad companies to provide separ-
ate cars for white and colored persons.
Such laws are in operation IN some OF
the Southern States, and should be IN
all. If a negro wan to ride in first
class car and pays first class fare, he
should be allowed to do 50 without IN
truding upon the whites. We believe
that if the railroad companies would pro-
vide equal, but separate accommoda-
tions for the races, it would be pleasing
to the seIt-respectlng members of both
races. There is no necessity for the In
termingling of the races in railway cars
and we would be pleased to see our next
Legislature pass law requiring the
railroad authorities to provide separate
cars for each race.

determined that the four to FIVE
million Russian Jews shall not be

HAD Few Weeks Ago--And Tells
the Radicals How They Stole About
$500 200 900.
By United Press.l
WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 15.-In the
Senate to-day Mr.. Colquitt and Mr..
Vance addressed the Senate on the Fed
eral election bill.
Mr.. Colquitt characterized the bill as
a complicated and mischief making sys-
tenn of political machinery. 1t created
an Irresponsible power; confounded all
the departments of the government; con-
verted merely ministerial powers into
executive aud Judicial functions. It
created swarms Of petty offices; appro-
priated millions ouC of the treasury for
the erection of corruption fund in the
form Of large fees and salaries. and was
scheme to take possession of the South
ern States and to subject them by indi-
rectlon and false pretences and dis
guises, to negro ascendancy and party
despotism.
Mr.. Vance said that the people of
North Carolina had right to look with
suspicion on this measure because it
proposed to have the laws for the cleo
| tlon OF their representatives executed at
| the dictation Of others. Speaking of the
efforts OF the Republican party to prove
that through it alone was state
of political purity to be reached, Mr..
Vanne said the history of the party
should be quoted to prove its exalted
qualifications. This was the party which
had lnaugurated reconstruction, a car
nival of corruption and fraud. A COM
mittee of Congress had estimated the
| plunder under carpet-beg rule, in five
short years at $500, ZOO, 900 in the shape
of increased debt alone He spoke
of the recent election as a warning
which should be sufficient for any one
The bill was intended, if possible, to
resurrect the moribund carcass of the
Republican party. 1t was framed for
taking possession of all the political u4a-
chinery in the Democratic States so that
the Republican agents might commit
frauds to inure to the benefit of thel,
party.
| A long and interesting discussion took
place and had not come to close when
the Senate proceeded to executive bust
ness, and at $3.50 adjourned till to-mor
row at 10 q. m.
| House.
| WASHINGTON, D G, Dec. 15.-Tht
House to-day adopted resolution Call
ing for information about government
deposits in national depository banks.
Mr.. Mckinley presented resolution
to extend the bonded period of the tariff
bill, but Withdrew it when Mr. Culber
son, of Texas, wanted to debate it.
Mr.. Enloe having made the point 0
no quorum, the House adjourned.

squad were struck--one, John Dunbar,
was fatally wounded; another, Joo
Foster, got bullet through his arm
above the elbow that shattered tho
bone, passed through and tore open his
side, exposing his vitals and carrying
away part OF two ribs. Mr.. Lewis
had bullet through the knee. Foster
lay for five days without care, and
when found at last a cupful of maggots
was taken from the wound in his side.
The bone had to be removed from his
arm for few inches above the elbow;
yet within five weeks from the day no
was shot he reported for duty.
Mr.. Lewis, like many others of tho
twenty-five thousand wounded in that
awful battle, lay eight days without
any thing but water which wounded
companion brought in his canteen. Yet
no one seeing Mr.. Lewis to-day would
think that he was in delicate health.
There was another fellow in our reg
iment by the name of Waite" said Mr..
Lewis. "Ile got the end of his little
finger shot off and it caused his death.
He was a beer drinker, and it was the
state of his system caused by the beer
