the contracts previously let and making

of $500 to furnish and equip the build
ings. Work will be resumed at once and

Republicans COnsidering a Po,.t,
Proposition.

Raleigh, N. c., March 18.-Whethar -,
not there shall be fusion with the now,

was the question set for discussion 81
today's special meeting of the ren,h
lican state central committee. and o,a,,
which Hon. A. r. Holton presided r.
the election for state officers in 1904 :
republican-populist fusion resulted =,
the defeat of the democratic candidota
for chief justice by a plurality Of near-
ly $1,000. In the last presidential elac-
ton General Weaver received Ak ma
votes and the, republicans 100000 the
Cleveland electoral ticket CARVING ~,
$4,000. Since that time the popul,ats
claim to have recruited largely from tho
ranks of the democrats, and it is believ-
ed that fusion electoral ticket would
carry the state by 200, 900 or more over
the heaviest vote the democrats could
pull out. The populists, however while
willing to fuse on state officers. are in
clined to go it alone on an electora,
ticket, and in this position are strongly
backed up by the national officers and
members of the national committee or
the peoples party.

London, March 18.-There was big
meeting this afternoon of the bimetallic
league 1t was determined to continue
active communications with the bime-
tallists of France Germany, Austria
and Belgium in order to promote great
campaign in industrial centers. Sec
rotary MCNEIL, in conversation with a
representative of the Associated Press,
said bimetallists generally were satisfied
with the debate in the house of COM
mons yesterday evening as by it's vote
the house unanimously declared bimet-
allism to be of great benefit to Great
Britain and an International agree
ment was desirable. The gold party
he added, had not tried to challenge
either Of these points and had not ven
tured to move their amendment when
the crucial moment arrived. MCNEIL
also said Balfours speech encouraged
bimetallists by showing the govern
ment's desire for an International agree
ment and it would go to the utmost
length which public opinion would JUS
tify to promote that object.

LEGISLATURE FAILED TO DO THE

The legislature adjourned tonight, at

and the enactment Of legislation to save
the states financial reputation.
Governor Bradley has refused to or
der special session, and the state is in
q bad way. The senate special COM

threats to unseat the governor are con-
sidered, that even the demo crats
laughed.

ing the republicans, led by Deboe. made
fight to bring up the revenue bills for
consideration, but the democrats pre-
vented legislation by f1libustering. An
effort was made to unseat President
Worthington and place Senator Goebel
in the chair, in order that he might pre-
vent any consideration of the revenue
bills, and it was only prevented by the
republicans agreeing to allow the SEN
ate to receive the report of the special
committee, and then the democrats
were to assist the republicans and take
up the revenue bills.
After the report Of the special COM

Official calculations made in Russia
and transmitted to the State Depart
ment of the United States Consul-Gen-
eral Karal at st. Petersburg show that
the present years harvest of cereals in
the whole world is much smaller than
last years, and compared with 1894
the decrease is in wheat $50, 467, 900
bushels, and rye 1851 900 bushels.
Other grains turned out better. In Rus
STA the harvest was short 55,371 1873
bushels of wheat and SS, 345, 42S bushels
of rye. The financial ergan, therefore,
commends the policy adopted by Rus
STA dealers of holding back their grains
to obtain better prices later on. The
official estimates for next year place the
amount of wheat required to be i'm
ported at 513, 1928, 715 BUSHES and rye
at 81, ,791 bushels, of which Russia
will be expected to supply 121, 1853 1925

of rye. She will be able to export 49,

these resolutions were received with

eign affairs in both houses believe that
some definite action will be taken along
these lines by the present congress. Mr.

of the congress as the Pan-American
