settles the debate of that measure.
The bill to allow the extension of the

The proposition of the Wilmington &
| Weldon railroad to surrender certain
charter rights in consideration of new
charter allowing it to increase it's capital
stock to $10,000,000, was defeated in
| the senate.
The senate devoted much time to dis.
cussion of the house bill imposing a school
tax of Ia cents ad valorem and so cents
on the poll. Every effort was made to
get an increase to liza cents, but all
failed and the house bill passed.
The house has passed the bill making
the apportionment of the house. Under
it Mecklenburg and Wake get three mem
bers each; Buncombc, Robinson, Halifax
Forsyth, Guilford, Johnson, Pitt, Wayne
lredell, Chatham, Cumberland, Rocking

TODETER GOLDSHIPMENTS
FIRST ACTION UNDER THE
NEW Law.

The Treasury Department VIII
Charge Four Cents Per Hundred
Dollars for ali Gold Bars Requir.
ed for shipment to Europe.
WASHINGTON, March 5.--The treasury
department has already been called upon
to act under the Sherman amendment to
the legislative, executive and judicial ap.
preparation bill authorizing the secretary
of the treasury to exercise his discretion
in an exchange of gold tor gold coin and
also to impose charge for such ex.
change.
Heretofore the statute regulating this
matter has been construed by the treas
ury department as against imposition OF
charges. Under the new law the policy
of the department will < to charge four
cents per hundred dollars in value for all
gold bars required for shipment and il
this fails to deter gold shipments the
question will then be considered as to
the advisabiity of refusing altogether to
exchange gold bars for shipment, thus
compelling shippers to use gold coin or
to obtain gold bars from private par
ties.
The ruling to this effect was first made
yesterday on a telegraphic order for
$500, 900, in gold bars for shipment from
New York. The director of the mint,
with the approval of the secretary OF the
treasury, direct d that a charge of $24O
or four cents per $103) be made for ex-
change, but he is not yet advised as to
whether the exchange was made on
that basis. 1t is assumed, however that
1t was. The treasury department is in
receipt of advices from New York to the
effect that there will be heavy demand
tor gold bars for shipment by steamers
sailing for Europe Saturday.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Among the

The Paddock pure food bill, the Nicar-
aqua canal bill, the Pacific railroad fund
ing bill, and the Interstate commerce

by railroad companies are among the
measures which failed to reach vote in

Among the measures on which neither

committees) were the sub-treasury and
farm mortgage bill. service pension bill.
Canadian reciprocity resolution, the bill
to encourage the construction of an inter
continental railway, postal savings
bank and postal telegraph bills, Butler

i'm q Few Days.

Maj. Robert Bingham, principal OF
Bingham's school, who is now in the
city for the purpose Of making the final
arrangements looking to the location of
his school here, went out yesterday in
company with several prominent gentle

Maj. Bingham and the gentlemen in
charge of the subscription to the school,
which will be settled in a day or two,

on the river front, about a quarter of a
mile south Of Pearsons bridge.

When wheat, rye and barley are seed

Was a New Testament.
Nearly all the standard historians OK

manifested in discussions on religious
subjects, says Nj. Y. Morse. Theirs was
no theme-not sven the science OK war
itself-which engaged his genius in
warmer or more sincere interest Our
own Emerson touch es delightfully."- this
feature of the warriors character.
Napoleon himself says he had studied
all religions. He had collected the
largest library of books relating to re-
ligions ever owned by any ruler. The
most conspicuous and most constantly
consulted of all his books was the New
Testament-this one of the few volumes
which he carried with him in all his
campaigns, and which was kept regu-
larly on his table for reference The
book was to him source of abiding in
terest and delight, if not of deep spirit
ual consolation.
His philosophy, if not his practice,
was based on its teachings, remarks the
Atlanta Constitution, and he was ever
ready to point a moral to adorn a tale
in some analogy from its sublime pages.
He had the profoundest admiration for
the sermon on the mount, and on one
occasion he settled dispute by requir-
ing the contestants to read that sermon
in his presence. Once when he was
asked what was the really sublime, he
responded instantly: "Read the Lords
Prayer
Napoleon rarely failed to quote the
authority and lessons of the New Tes-
lament when opportune occasion arose.
He was not only sincere believer in
Christ, but he had the profoundest rev.
erence for his character. The sublime
solitariness of this mans genius is with

whom he would acknowledge allegiance
to whom he would bow-saye the God
and the Saviour Christ.

he said on one occasion, land / bow

He constantly referred to Christ as
'sthe Master" Once, when he had laid
his conquering hand upon the silver
shrines and statuary of a famous re-
igious temple, he replied to the impor-
tunities of the priests, who begged that
the ornaments be spared, by saying:
''No; let this silver be cast into coin
and let it go about in the world doing
good, like the Master. Chicago News.
