THE STORY ABSURD.
Reported Plan to Steal n March on North

WASHINGTON. November li-ln re-
gard to the statement that an effort
might be made 10 convene the existing
LEGISLATURE of North Carolina in extra
session for the purpose of electlng Demo-
cratic senators before the new Legisla-
ture could get together and do that

THE POP-GUN BILLS.
HARRIS TO CALL UP THE FREE ALco-
HoL MATTER.
FREQ Sugar and the Fight That VIII He
Made Against It-Porter Nomi-
nation Again.

WASHINGTON. d. c., November H.
Special )-Upon the assembling of Con-
gress Senator Harris, from the Finance
Committee, will first call up the House
''pop-gun" bill to repeal the free-alcohol
provision of the tariff bill. which provi-
sion was passed under an alleged mis-
apprehension.
The provision makes free all alcohol
used in the arts or for manufacturing
purposes. and although the Secretary OF
the Treasury Is invested with authority
TO prescribe rates and regulations gov
ernng the same. yet, as no appropri1-
ton was made to carry these regulations
into effect. they have not been pre-
scribed. Inasmuch az the free-alcohol
provision opens the doors widely to end
less frauds and deprives the Treasury o.
millions of revenue, the repeal will be
vigorously pressed.
Necessarily this repeal will be as vigo-
rously antagonized by the interested par
ties. but 1t will doubtless pass.
FREE SUGAR.
The next House "pop-gun' measure 70
receive the attention of the Senate Will
be the free-suIar bill. and this Will pro-
yoke exciting debate and the active an
tGgonism Of the Sugar Trust. Ii Is be-
lieved. however, that the Senate VIII
amend the bill so as to eliminate the
one-eighth-of-a-cent differential, and let
the duty remain at 10 per cent. fas.
leaving the tenth dlfferential against
bounty German beet-sugar intact.
Whether the House will recele from
free sugar Is very problematical.
1t Is understood that the President will
renominate Governor Porter. now Minis
ter to Chile, United States Judge for the
Eastern District OF Tennessee. This
nomination was not acted upon at the
late session because OF the determined OPP
position of Senator Bate and Senator
Harris's lukewarmness. The President,
however, IS determined that Governor
Porter shall be confirmed. and Il remains
to be seen whether the Tennessee sena-
tors will yield or again tie it up.
J. a. Peeler is appointed postmaster at
Faith. Rowan county, n, c., vice Frick,
resigned.
