BIG NAVAL SENSATION.

CONCUR IN THE ACQUITTAL
or Vice Admiral Fairfax, c. b., Commander
David L. Dickson and Captain Hast
ings, of the Howe.

LONDON, Feb. PA sensation has
concurrence of the Lords Of theAdmiral-
ty in the acquittal of Vice Admiral Fair

ron, and Of Commander David l.. Dickson
and Captain A. p. Hastings, Of the IRON
clad battie-ship Howe. Of the same squad
rom which stranded on November I'd at
the entrance OF Ferrol Harbor, Spain.
Commander Dickson and Captain Hast
ings were acquitted of blame by the
court-martial which tried them, the
ground OF acquittai being that the charts
OF Ferrol Harbor used on the Howe were
very defective. 1t was charged against
Vice Admiral Fairfax that as commander
of the squadron it was his duty to sig
nal the Howe, and that ne failed TO do so,
although the Howe was Immediately fol-
lowing the flagship, and, therefore, the
strandiug was due to his negligence. The
couri-martial was said at the time to be
Il mere formality, and the vice-admiral
was acquitted.
The Lords of the Assembly. however
take a different view OF the matter. In
the minute recording that their iordships
do not concur in the finding, their lord
ships attribute the disaster, which proved
so costly to the British treasury, to I'M
skilfu management on the part OF Vice
Admiral Fairfax Commander Dickson
and Captain Hastings. and 10 neglect OF
the directions given in regard to currents
and TO neglect TO take bearings at time
and in u situation where 1t was an OBJ
vious duty to do so. The minute is re-
garded az a severe rebuke for Vlce-Ad-
niral Henry Fairfax, who holds the rank
Of c. b., and is highly esteemed in the

APPROPRIATION.
And IL Came Very Near Passing-senater
Day Resigns ~ . Result OF the
Printing Middle.

RALEIGH. N. c.. Feb. A.-Special.-
The Senate had its opportunity to-day to
show It's patriotism by passing the bill
to appropriate $4,000 to erect a monument
to the Confederate dead of North Caro-
lima.
The galleries were again crowded with
ladies' az was yesterday in the House.
and the bill was passed, but not before
somewhat sensational scene had been
enacted. Several eloquent appeals had
been made in behalf of the measure, and
the sentiment of the entire assemblage
was aroused In the interest OF the bill.
when Senator Parratt. of Lenior, arose
and offered an amendment cutting the
appropriation down to $500.
Then a hiss was heard and in an in
slant a perfect storm Of Kisses came
from the array OF female loneliness in
the gallery and surrounding Hobbies. The
Kissing aroused the wrath OF some Of the
senator's. causing them to vote in favor
OF the amendment. and 1t came near
passing. but was defeated by a vote OF
20 10 q.
The bill then passed without dissent
ing voice. Two amendments were adopt
ed-one providing that the monument
shall be erected in the Capitol Square, in
this city, and the other providing that 1t
shall be built OF North Carolina granite.
The House this morning passed a bill
upon its third and final reading. appropn-
ating $4,000 to improve and furnish the
Governors mansion.
Nearly all of the session was occupied
in consideration in committee Of the
whole of the Revenue bill. The chief dis
cussion was on an amendment allowing
liquor TO be sold by the quart by the
manufacturers. This was lost, but one
was adopted to allow liquor TO be sold
within one hundred yards Of the place of
manufacture.
An amendment was adopted giving
county commissioners discretion in grant
ing licenses. This provoked a long dis
cussion. The chairman Of the finance
committee said the amendment would
cause loss of $4,000 in taxes.
There was another development In the
public printing imbroglo to-day. Senator
Day. of Halifax rendered his resignation
