THE BAyARD IMPEACHWEN {
vi CALI Resolution VIII be- Re.
porte d in Ii MHdiftt d Form.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The House
Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day
held a meeting and considered the
Barrett and Mccall resolutions rela-
tive to the speeches OF Ambassador
Bayard The committee decided to
report the Mccall resolution in IA
modified form, and it now calls upon
the President for information as to
the alleged utterances of Mr.. Bayard
and the correspondence on the sub
iecf. The resolution has been very
much tanned down and made mild in
comparison to what it was when in
troduced. II was thought that in view
of the present circumstances that it
would be much better to make the
resolution simply one of inquiry. The
Barrett resolution is thus complied
with to the extent of taking steps to-
ward the investigation which it direc-
ted. The investigation at present will
be confined to seeking information
from the State Department.
Another important question which
came forward was the Cuban reyOlu-
ton which was brought before the
committee through a resolution for
recognition of the insurgents, intro
duced by Mr.. Bigham, of PennSy1va-
MIA 1t was the unanimous opinion of
the committee that the Congress
should not take action until further
information regarding the status OF
the rebellion was i'm it's possession, so
resolution calling upon the State De-
partment for correspondence and in
formation ON the uprising was
drafted.
The case of eN-Consul Waller was
brought up and the resolution OF Mr..
Miller. OF Kansas, asking the State De
partment for records of the trial and
all correspondence with the French
government Will be reported To the
House.

The executive committee OF tn"

meeting of the Teachers Assembly.
but the place is yet TO be decided upon
For ten wears the Assembly has held
it's annual meetings at Morehead City,
and it has II large building there
erected for it's accommodation during
the summer sessions.
But Morehead City is not glued to

control of amusementS and the ike ut

The character, time and place of the

The burden of the discussion was
whether the assembly should again be
held at Morehead City. Opinion had
not crystalized on amy other place, ana
consequently the discussion was prIn-
cipallv negative. \ number OF places
were mentioned. but none was settled
upon. The time for meeting was fixed
at June nth, but the place was lelt
to a committee composed of the PreSI-

TAXES MUST BE PAID AT ONCE

The country people have paid their
taxes very promptly" said sheriff
Page yesterday" but never in my life
have ! known the people of Raleigh to
be SO slow. And it appears that this
is not only true as TO Wake county,
but the same condition seems to exist
everywhere else, if | may Judge from
IA circular letter which | received in
this mornings mail from the State
Treasurer. He says that there have
been 100000 of Pension warrants is
sued, and that they have been coming
in more rapidly than usual and must
be promptly met. There is also
$4,000 interest on 4 per cent bonds
due in New York January j. which
must be paid at once. This draws very
heavily on the State Treasury which
entered upon the new fiscal year with
less than $4,000 on hand. and makes il
necessary for the State Treasurer TO
call upon the Sheriffs TO collect the
taxes now due, even If by distress"
Sheriff Page has always been most
indulgent with the people of Wake
county iii the matter Of taxes, and ii
is To be hoped that they will, under
these circumstances, settle at once,
and not to force him to compel them to
pay extra costs. He is bound TO have
the taxes now due and have them at
once.

REFUSES TO PROSECUTE.
More Facts About Last Weeks Shooting
Affair

II will be remembered that last week
r.. Januaru, of Electric alley, was ar
rested for attempting to shoot Mary
Tomaine, q pretty italian woman VINO
b married. More facts about the anair
have been learned and 1t now develops
into a pretty romance. ~,
Rosario Januaro, the man who did
the shooting. Is handsome young
man. For many years he has loved
Mary Tomaine, who returned his affec-
tion. But Mary has a couple OF sisters
and a brother who wanted her to marry
another man. This person was To-
maine, and the influence that was
brought against MARY resulted in her
marriage to Tomaine.
Still she loved Rosario and her hus-
band had no place in her heart. Things
went on as before the marriage, Janu-
aro still making love to Mary. When
separated they kept up correspond
ence. and when in the same place often
lived In the same house. During sew
eral years Tomaine knew nothing or
what was going on. He did not see
that he had no place in his wife's affec-
tions and made no protest. Plans FOR
elopt mept were made more than once,
but were never carried out
This thing could not go on forever
though. and Tomaine began to get ink
lings of the affair. He saw he could
not stop 1t and. accordingly. determined
to go with his wife to Italy. where jan
uaro would not appear to bother him.
1t was on the day of their departure
that the shooting occurred, when Janu-
arc asked for his photograph which
Mary had and who refused to give 1t up.
The shots We're then fired and In all
probability were only meant to frighten
her, as Januaro says. He could easily
have hit her. as she was very near
him at the time and he is good marks
man. Most of the persons who saw
the affair now corroborate this state
ment and say 1t would have been i'm
possible for him to have missed had he
shot to kill. Mary now says she will
not proceed against Januaro, and so
he will pDtaly soon he at liberty. He
may meet with some rough handling
from his countrymen. though. should
he return. for they are very bitter
against him and 1t was all the officers
m charge could do to keep them from
lynching him on the day of the shoot
