Senator r1Organ.

WASHINGTON, May 3I.-The point
made by Senator Morgan in the Senate
that the present proceeding in the
House under the rule for semi-weekly
sessions with its adjournments for
three days are unconstitutional, is
giving anxiety to some of the Republi-
can leaders. The question was dis
cussed today by several republican
members of the Ways and Means
Committee, who were in the committee
room, and two of them expressed the
opinion that Senator Morgan's view
might prove to be correct. The
possibility that importers may stir up
considerable litigation over the Tariff
bill after it becomes law, following
the suggestion by Senator Morgan
that Congress would not be legally in
session when the Senate passes the
bill, is viewed with some apprehension
by minority of the committee, though
not by MIR. Dingley.
Speaker Reed, it is understood, does
not in the least share the apprehension
of those who think there is something
in the point and believes that the
House can'fx the days of its adjourn
ment.
1t is pointed out that on the occasion
when Senators desired to 60 to Monti-
cello, Mr.. Chandler on Wednesday
moved, and the Senate adopted the
motion, that when the Senate adj ourn
on Thursday it be to meet on the fol-
lowing Monday and that the whole
objections made in the Senate to the
proceedings the House were cover
ed in that order.

SMITAFIELD, N. c., June 2.-(Spe-
cial)-Gen. Ransom delivered great
speech to great crowd here to-day at
the commencement exercises of the
burlington Institute. Fully fifteen
hundred people heard him. Many
could not get in the large hall. The
speaker unfolded the problem of life
and the duty of young men and women
to their country with mastery eloqu-
ence. His speech lasting an hour and
half will live in the history of this
county. Solicitor Pou's introduction
was gem, captivated the audience
and deeply touched the general.
Prof. J. P. Cannady, of Durham, de-
livered splendid address to the old
students this afternoon, subject: "Dis-
covery of Man"
The burlington commencement has
been great success, this school is the
pride of the county.

The international Chess Contest.

WAsHINGToN, June 1.-The inter
national chess match between mem
bers of the house OF representatives
and the English house of commons
today resulted in a draw, each side
having won and lost two games and
one being drawn.
When the match was concluded by
Mr.. Shafroth winning his game and
tying the score, hearty cheers were
given on each side of the water for
the president and Her Majesty, the
queen.
The games yesterday resulting in a
winning by Mr.. Bodine, for America
and game to the credit of England,
won by Mr.. Plunkett, three games
remained to be finished today. The
games resulted in the loss of one by
Mr.. Plowman and the drawing of the
game between Mr.. Handy and Mr..
Wilson. 1t then remained for Mr..
Shafroth to save the day for America
by winning his game and the deepest
interest was manifested in every
move made. He started under the
necessity of making six moves in
thirteen minutes, but soon caught up
and had time to play studiously.
When the announcement of the re
suit of his game came the cheers of
the spectators filled the room for
several minutes.
The time made yesterday in trans
mitting messages in regard to plays
was surpassed today when message
was sent from Washington over the
lines of the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the Anglo-American
Gable Company, a move made in
London and the answer sent back in
forty seconds. =

Tennessee Exposition.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 31.-The
cold weather caused a diminution in
attendance at the Exposition to-day,
but tonight the attendance was very
good. Being bank holiday, a large
number of bank clerks from all parts
of the State visited the Exposition,
and these, with the South Carolina
editors and accompanying ladies, the
advance guard of the Travellers
Protective Association, and the
Southern delegates returning from
the Railway Conductors Convention
at Los Angeles, Gala, caused large
assembly of strangers.
In the woman's building, Miss Clara
Conway entertained a large crowd
with a discourse upon palmistry.
The Exposition, in every depart
ment, is working smoothly and June
will commence with every depart
ment in perfect condition. For May
the attendance has exceeded 100000.
Tomorrow will be an exceedingly
attractive day. 1t is Tennessee day
and Governors day. Governor
Russell, of North Carolina, with q
detail of State troops and his staff,
will attend. Lieutenant Governor
McSweeney, of South Carolina, is
here and will represent his State, and
the Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas
is expected. A parade will occur, in
which several companies of State
troops will participate, as well as the
visiting soldiers. Governor Taylor
and staff, in full uniform, will lead
the column.
Delegates to the National Travel
lers Protective Association, which
meets at the capitol in this city to-
morrow, are arriving Oh every train
and the attendance will be very
large. Much interest is shown in the
election for president, ]. 3. Lee, of
St. Louis, decling to again serve, The
contest promises to be a lively one.
The five thousand-mile interchange
able railroad ticket is the prominent
subject discussed by the delegates

nr. Calhoun Silent.

HAVANA, June 2.-Mr. Calhoun, the
American special commissioner to
watch the Ruiz investigation, main
tains strict reserve as to his opinion
of the case, and says that the nature of
his report to the government cannot
be made known except through the
government. He has. however, stated
that his own mission here has not the
Importance given to it in some sections
of the American press, which greatly
eXaggerate the actual condition of Gu
ban affairs, Mr.. Calhoun says that it
is very difficult for him to form an
opinion as to the real conditions in the
island, owing to the contradictory re-
ports made by both sides.

to the United States that Spain

to the United States that Spain
needs neither their benevolence nor
their commisseration. Those who
ask for a policy of clemency and
pardon for men who have desolated
the country with torch and dynamite
must be convinced that against such
a policy all true Spaniards will be-
come more and more resolute.
"These yankees are never satisfied.
They are far more guilty of hard
ness of heart than the Cubans them
selves. After our denying atrocities
invented by the American press after
our releasing various convicts
charged with high treasnto demon
strate to the American people the
generosity which can look upon such
people as amendable to the laws of
civilized warfare; after all this, the
American still believe these fakes
put up against us and believe that
we fear them.
1T is necessary to prove to the
americans that we care nothing for
the insulting and aggressive stand
taken by the American senate. A
country where the old have less
judgement than the young is a
degenerate country, a country of pre-
mature civilization which will rot be-
fore it ripens. Let us tell them, Or
better still, let us prove to them, that
we can laugh at their braggadocio.
Foreigners cannot own property
in the United States. Let us re-
ciprocate. There, pirates are over
looked let us do the same here.
There are not wanting brave auda-
cious mariners, who would patrol
Americas seas and occasionally do
what they pleased. The Americans
would file their claims Our courts
would sentence the offenders to 10
cent fine and three nours' imprison-
ment or release them under a fictitious
bond. Really, the airs put on by
these Americans require energetic
action on the part of the Spanish
people. At the very moment when
the revolution is almost suppressed
they appear again with their
belligerency declaration. We care
nothing for it. They can go ahead
on this line if they please. 1t will
only more clearly define the situation
and our heroic navy may yet prove
what it can do with our enemies. Let
it be demonstrated, aside from diplo-
matte methods, that the Spanish
people despise the jingos of the Uni
ted States and know how to spit in
their faces one hundred times"

Tillman's Resolution.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-There will
be an effort on the part of some Sena-
tors to have the Senate Committee
ON Contingent Expenses to amend
the Tillman resolution for an investi-
cation of the charges that Senators
have been specializing in Sugar stocks
so as to have the inquiry made by
standing committee rather than bv a
special committee as provided in the
resolution. Objection is made on the
part of soma Of the Republican
Senators to having the Craftsmanship
of the committee go to a Democrat,
as it would if the author of the
resolution should be given this post.
While this is parliamentary practice
it is not always followed in the Sen
ate. The resolution under which the
inquiry of 1898 was conducted was in
troduced by Senator Lodge, though
thesoriginal resolution leading up to
the investigation was presented by
Senator PETER. Senator PETER was
not given place on the committee
and Senator Lodge was given the
place next to the last. 1t is suggested
by those who object to a special COM
mittee that the investigation should
be made either by the Committee on
Privileges and Elections OF by the
Committee on Judiciary.

Earthquake.

At various places IN the State and
United States severe shock of earth
quake was felt Monday last. In many
places in N. C.5 crockery ratified and
hanging lamps swayed to and fro.
Advices from Raleigh state that CHM
dneys that were not securely fastene
to the houses were shaken down. In
Ohio buildings trembled to such an
extent that employees became frightened
and deserted their work. The shocks
lasted about 80 seconds and the undu-
lation was from East and West.

UNFORTUNATE COMPLICATIONS.

UNFORTUNATE COMPLICATIONS.
1t is unfortunate that the enthusi-
astic friends and promoters of the
Oglethorpe Bi Centennial should be
confronted at the outset by legal COM
plications, that threaten to involve the
project in lawsuit. The question of
the Interpretation of the terms of the
city 5 lease of the cotton factory prop
erty to private parties is properly one
for the court to determine, and it is
not probable that it will be settled
without the interpretation of the law.
The issue hinges entirely on whether
its present owners have ceased to use
it as cotton or wooden factory. THE
TIMES is inclined to the belief that the
city Is now the legal owner of the site,
inasmuch as it has not been used for
its original purposes in over two years,
and, further, because the owner is
making all haste to dispose OF it to
other parties.
1t would be much better, however,
to arrange the issue amicably. The
fair project has had an ausplcious
start, and the duty of patriotic citizens
is to help it along with their best
efforts. If the owner is disposed to
fight for her presumptive rights in
the matter, without disposition to
compromise, then it will be difficult to
make any adjustment outside of the
courts, and good citizens should give
all the assistance they can to the city
in the support of its claims. The fair
and its success should be the first con-
sideration of ell Bru1swlcklans.
THE TIMES hopes that the matter
can be satisfactorily arranged, In the
meantime, Mayor johnson has shown
prompt regard for the city's inter-
ests in preventing the further DISPOSE
ton of the property.

MR.. PLANTS VISIT.

The visit of Mr.. H. B. Plant, presi-
dent OF the Plant System, and his staff
to this CITY, and the entertainment
that was given them by Brunswick
leading social organization last night,
are Indications that the railroad mag
nate is getting closer to Brunswick
and that he IS disposed to regard this
city as most important portion OF
his field of operations.
The TIMES is glad that Mr.. Plant is
here, and that he has consented to
make his present stay longer than is
his usual custom. The reception last
night was a testimonial of the appre-
citation in which he is held by the
prominent people of Brunswick. That
Mr.. Plant reoiprocates this kindly
feeling can hardly be doubted.

Ths Coming Of Baby.

When q baby comes to the houss real
happiness comes. The care and anx-
isty count for nothing against the
oliDging touch Of the little hands and
the sound of the little voice. The
highest fuSction given to human
beings is bringing healthy, happy
children into the world. Over thirty
years ago the needs of women ap-
pealed to DR.. Pierce, now chief con-
sultiDg physician to the Invalid's
Hotel end Surgical Institute, of Buff
falo. N. Y. The result of his study
improved by thirty years of practice is
embodied in DR.. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription. 1t strengthens, purIfies
and makes healthy the organs dis
tInctly feminine. 1t gives weak
women the strength and health neoes-
sary for the production of healthy
children and it makes the bearing of
those children easy. 1t is sure to
cure any weakness of arrangement
peculiar to women; stops pain,
sootbes Inflammation, strengthens,
purifies, invigorates.

A HOT story comes out of the action
Of Chief Mcguire, of the Savannah fire
department., in mailing up the doors of
the city exchange of that city a few
nights since. The Savannah papers
have suppressed the story, but 1t is
published in the Atlanta Journal. The
chief gives as his reason the statement
that the city officials had been using
the municipal building for nightly
entertainments rendered their lady
friends. An investigation will be
held as soon as Mayor Meldrim returns
TO the city. The officials are mad.
