ward developed that the amendments
were Of so little Importance that there
had been division on only three of
them.
If the Democrats thought the Repub-
Mr.. Bailey, they should urge them to
go to work; if not it was midsummer
madness to goad them to action.
Prosperity was what every one
wanted; if the Republicans gave pros
perity they would be given a vote of con-
fidence; if they did not, return to BIZ
metallism was assured.
A substitute was submitted by Mr..
Fleming Dem., Ga.l, for the resolution
reciting that under the rules already
adopted it was the Speakers duty to ap-
point the committees within a reasonable
time unless otherwise ordered by the
House.
The only speech made for the Republi-
cans was by Mr.. Dingley.
He did not believe it was wise at
this extraordinary session to enter upon
general legislation or do more than take
up such incidental matters as might arise,
connected with the revenue. The country
desired to avoid such discussions as the
Democrats had INDUCED in to-day. To
make the issue clear, Mr.. Dngley offer
ed n substitute amendment for the res
olutions which was:
Resolved, That the Speaker be di-
rected to immediately appoint the com
mittees of the House"
The Dingley substitute was adopted
and the vote on the resolution, as amend
ed was taken by roll-call, and resulted
ayes, 80; nays, 124.
The vote was chiefly interesting be-
cause displaying the division in the Dem
ocratic ranks and that division was near
ly equal, 33 voting against the resolu-
ton, under Mr.. Bailey's leadership, and
81 with Mr.. Lewis for it,
The only Republican who voted for the
resolution was Mr.. Low, of New York
All Populists and Fusionists voted for
the resolution, and the Silver Republicans
refrained from voting. The Democrats
who voted for the resolution were: Myers
Norton, Ogden, Pierce, Rhea, Richard
son, Rixey, Settle, Terry, Zenor, Allen

herd, Dayey, DeArmond, Dockery, Flem
ing, Fox, Handy, Hunter, Kitchin. Lamb

A PULASKI EARTHQUAKE
ROMEYN TRIAL CONCLUDED.
The Sentence Yet Secret, But 1t Is

noon at O'Clock. At that time the
thirteen officers composing the court had
reached a verdict in the now famous case.
which cannot be divulged until submitted
to the General commanding the depart
ment Of the East and approved by him.
The argument was very short, but decid-
edly to the point. Captain Henry Ro-
meyn, the accused officer, spoke for forty
five minutes and reviewed the case. He
claimed to be justified in all he had done.
The old warrior told to the court many
incidents Of his military career, and said
that in his record he had nothing to be
ashamed Of. Judge Advocate Carbough
replied in a speech of eleven minutes
His remarks were very impressive, and
no doubt carried great weight with them.
1t Is the general opinion here that the
verdict OF the court will either be an ae-
quittal or light punishment, although ei-
ther offence with which Romeyn h
charged Is punishable by dismissal from
the service. The officers Of the court win

Newbern, n. c., May 3.-(Special.) >
Truck shipments to-day were larger than
ON any previous Monday since the season
opened. About six thousand packages
left this county alone by special truck
trains and steamers.
Strawberries were a big feature of to-
days shipments. Geo. n. Ives & Son
shipped from their fruit farm below the
city over one thousand quarts, second
picking from three acres. Friday last
was first picking, when about nine hun
dred quarts were realized from the same
beds. This is considered remarkable for
the number of acres and is due to the ex-
tension of fertilizing.
This fruit has a about reached it's highest
yield and lowest prices now, pretty as
ever was seen sold at five cents quart

Monday is off day for large shipments

THEY WIN JONES OVER
The Nevada Senator Will Vote to Take
the Tariff Bill Out of Committee-His
Demands Partly Conceded.

Washington, d. c., May 3.-The sub
committee of the Senate having charge
of the tariff bill has agreed to concede
an advance of oranges and lemons, pro-
viding for a duty on them of cent a
pound. This is in accordance with the
request of me California growers as pre-
sented by Senator Jones. There will
also be an increase ON borax and soda
and their preparations, but it will not be
so great as the Nevada Senator reques-
ted. A duty ON hides and a slight in
crease on third-class woods are also as
sured.
Senator Jones will certainly vote to
take the bill out of committee. He takes
the position that the silver Republicans
want the bill passed even though it may
not afford all the protection they desire
and while he may not get all he asks, will
vote to put the bill in the Senate.
The bill will be presented to the full
committee at 10 o'clock tomorrow, but
the present plans do not contemplate Civ
ing it to the public until it shall be pre-
sented to the Senate.

second place, we were sure of as much

half across Europe, for of course our circle
was to be very much wider than that
