4 LENGTHY MESSAGE Was That of the Governor of
 North Carolina.
ONLY ONE COPY PREPARED
Some Peculiar Doings, Which Are Out Of the Ordinary.
 Democrats UnSeated.

RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 10.-Two hours of the time of the house was spent in lis- tening to the governors message, which contained about 2S ,000 words.
 The populists and republicans then in- troduced bills upsetting the election law and the county government system now in operation.
 The senatorial fight grows warmer if anything, and it is now thought that the field is combined against Je.er Pritchard, i, who is considered Butler's man, accord- ing to his alleged bargain with Congress; man-e elect Richmond Pearson before the election. Candidate Mott, who is consid cred by many probably the most sagacous of the candidates, says that the complex ion of the fight may changs when election time comes, and he said this with seeming sureness of effective opposition to develop against Pritchard.
 Only one copy of the governors m sssage was prepared, and it will therefore be read 10 the senate tomorrow. This was criti- cised by some.
 One member, in introducing his bill in the house, called it bill ito secure free ballot and fair count.' Another repre- sentative called his bill one "to find out whether the people of this state had right to govern themselves.
 A motion to amend the rules of the last senate until new rules could be adopted was defeated, and the senate proceeded to business without rules, whereupon the house amended the old rules. This is understood to mean that resolution will be passed taking the appointment of com mittees out of the hands of the president of the senate.
 Senator Abell, democrat, introduced a bill to make per cent the legal rate of in- terest.
 Senator Newborn, populist, introduced a bill to repeal the charter of the State Farmers alliance and to restore the old charter, which was amended by the last general assembly.
 This bill passed and was sent to the house.
 Senators Ayecock and Smith, democrats, who held certificates of election in the Ninth district, and whose seats were con- tested by Grant and Paddisop, fusiouists, were not present, and the latter were de- cared to be the duly elected senators and were seated without opposition.

 LONDON, Jan. 10.-The cabinet council was held at noon today but as yet nothing is known as to the character of the pro- ceedings.

 This was opposed by Sir William Har- court, as he was expendng large surplus aud wished 10 effect certain economies aud popular reforms.

LOOKING FOR A SITE.
The Huntsville Female College May Come Here if Suitable Guar
 ters Are Secured.

few days ago the Huntsville Female col lege was destroyed by fire. The college at present has practically no quarters, as there is not a suitable building in Huntsville since the college building burned.
 Dr. A. B. Jones, who is the president of the college, is looking around for more suitable quarters than the present one. He has communi icaled with Dr. Hosmer, the presiding elder oi the district, with view 10 bringing his college to Birmingham,
 Immediately upon the receipt of this communication work was begun towards securing temporary quarters in the event that the college is brought here. Dr.. Hos mer was shown through the Fifth Avenue hotel by MT. B. Steiner, who has offered them the building to be used as a college temporarily.
 Dr. Jones was notified of the results reached by the investigation, ,and an answer will probably be received this afternoon.
