ACTION ON BANKRUPTCY BILL
Nelson's Substitute Is Passed
by the Senate.
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR GREECE

mouse Constuers senate Amendments
to the Indian Appropriation Bill
without Reference to Committee.
Washington, April 24.--The session
of the senate today was one of the most
eventful since congress assembled.
Allen offered resolution providing
that the chief executive express the
sympathy of the American people to
the government of Greece. The sena-
tor declared the contest was one be-
tween Christianity and Paganism.
During the debate, Davis, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations, to
whom the resolution was referred,
promised speedy action.
The debate on the senate committee
aroused Morgan to a speech of unusual
severity. He spoke of relationships"
and of the subordination Of public bus
mess to politics. He characterized the
condition of inaction in the house Of
representatives as the most gigantic
and unheard of filibustering ever at
tempted. In conclusion, Morgan said
that the speaker of the house. who
had been known as the great white
czar," would be hereafter known rs the
great white filibuster"
Another stirring chapter on the same
subject was added by Allen, who pro-
posed complete cessation of senate
business, except to consider appropria-
tion bills, until committees were filled.
The resolution led to another heated
debate, in which Chandler and Allen
participated. The resolution finally
went over.
The bankruptcy bill was passed by a
decisive vote of 40 to s. The bank
ruptcy bill as passed is the substitute
offered by Nelson of Minnesota. The
success of this substitute in displacing
the committee bill was a great surprise
and disappointm to the judiciary
committee, which had reported com
prehensive measure, known as the Tor
rey bill. 1t was regarded as a personal
triumph of Nelson. The Nelson bill
as passed provides for voluntary or in
| voluntary bankruptcy.
| The free homestead" bill was made
the unfinished business of the senate.
A committee of fifteen senators was
named to participate in the Grant cere-
monies.
| The announcement OF the death of
4 Representative Holman was made, and
the senate adjourned as mark of re-
spect.
The house today adopted special
ate amendments to the Indian appro-
| priation bill without reference to a
committee.
The Democratic dissensions again
came to the surface. Bailey and his
followers joined with the Republicans
on this proposition, after the special
order had been modified so as to cover
the other appropriation bills. Bland
protested vigorously against the course,
but only had following of twenty
four, not enough to get second vote.
Simpson is out OF the city, and there
fore was not in evidence.
I The senate amendments Of minor
I importance were concurred in, except
ing that providing for the removing Of
the Indian supply depot from Chicago
to Omaha. The amendment relative
to the opening of the Uncompahgre
reservation was not acted on today.
While it was being debated, the
death of Judge Holman was announced,
and as mark of respect, the house ad-
journed.

SNEAKING THIEF.
w-Ew


A large crowd always draws some
thieves. Amid the rush and jam it is well
nigh impossible to prevent a person who
is so disposed from taking advantage Of
this fact. The Harrison House has been
thronged with guests and, while the ut
most care was exercised there as well
as in the other boarding houses of the
city, thief managed to get in little
work. The fellow made way with an
overcoat belonging to Mr.. J. G. Ray,
who is here attending the meeting of the
State Board of Agriculture; and Mr..
Davis, of the Wilbur Opera Company,
also lost his coat and vest. However,
Mr.. Davis garments were found in the
possession of young white man WHO
gave his name as Jim Norris, from At
lanta. He will be given a hearing before
Mayor Russ this morning at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Rays overcoat has not yet been re-
covered.
No blame is attached to the managers
Of the Harrison House. The same thing
might have happened at any other board
ing house in the city this week.

POPULIST CONFERENCE LAST
NIGHT.

Members of the State Executive Commit
tee Confer With Butler.
Until late last night, in his room in
the Marlborough. Senator Marion Butler
was surrounded by some of his close po-
litical friends. A significant fact is that
no one is said to have been present
who was not a member of the Populist
Executive Committee. Congressman
Fowler, Strowd and Shuford, State
Chairman Fountain, Angus Shaw, j. B
Lloyd and others were present.
This conference of the Senator's lead
ing men in the Populist Executive COM
mittee at this time is not without sig
uifcance.
Campaign plans were discussed and
the policy of the Caucasian endorsed.
They all agreed, it is said. that the next
campaign must be a fight against corpo-
rations and railroads in particular.
The removal of the Railroad Commits
sioEers was referred to, and Congress
man Shuford is reported to be especially
interested in Caldwell since they are
from the same Congressional district.

not lost a days work or lost a meal.
Neither have I tasted or wanted to
aste liquor. and would not give the
njoyment I get from my meals for all
the liquor in the universe. When I
used to drink liquor I ate very little
and that without natural taste or ap-

my life at the time besides giving me a
new lease on it for the future

HARRY SKINNER'S MEN.
He Gathered Handful of the Boilers
Around Him Last Night.

Congressman Harry Skinner is in the
city. OF course this means caucus.
So last night he gathered what follow
ers he could of Pritchard Popuists
around him in consultation. The at
tendance was small and each one was
pledged to secrecy. An ordinary closet
could have almost held the meeting.
Among those present, it is said, were
Harry Skinner, Representative Hodges,
of Beaufort; Senator Cannon, of Bruins
wick; Zack Garrett, of Vance; Fer
tilizer Inspector Kelly, who is ). Ohio
Wilson's brother-in-law; Representative
Frank Brown, of Jones county; ana
Senator Wakefield.
The meeting was a signal failure in
point Of numbers. Where two or three
are gathered there is quorum in the
eyes Of minority Populists, but nearly
all of the little knot who whispered to-
gether last night are such small "pota-
toes,' so to speak, that the most san
guine Of the band couldn't count quo
rum. The leaders had expected large
meeting and they were sadly disappoint-
ed.
1t is understood that another meeting
will be held before many months when
they win make a desperate effort to
have larger attendance SO that they
can adopt some definite line of cam
paign, or rather try to adopt some excuse
for continuing the fusion with the Radi-
calls ia order to secure Offices for them
selves. I'VE shall be heard from later,
was the significant remark of one of the
participants in the meeting. An excuse
of some kind for continued fusion is
their deepfelt want.
1t was whispered that the distribution
of pie" to the Pritchard Populists by the
National administration was talked over
and until the boilers all receive their re-
ward they will say nothing.

MOST DISASTROUS FIRE.
HARP'S BUILDING A TOTAL lOSS--N0
Y INSURANCE.
Loss Estimated at About SO, 500.-Mf. T. a.
Bowen Occupied Part of the

Raleigh was visited by a disastrous
fire yesterday morning The total loss
is estimated at nearly $4,000 and there
was no insurance.
The scene of the fire was the large
four-story brick building belonging to
the estate Of N. s. Harp on Morgan
street, between the intersection of Will
mington and Blount. The fire was dis
covered from the rear shortly after five
o'clock Thursday morning and the alarm
was sent in from box number Il at
1920.
The fire companies were soon upon the
scene, but the fire had so far pro-
crossed with it's disastrous work that all
efforts to eNtinguish it or save any Of
the property were in vain. The roof soon
fell in and the bare brick walls alone
were left to show where the building
stood. The building was old and burned
like finder.
The half of the building nearest
Blount street was rented by Mr.. L. A.
Bowen. Here he kept a carriage, buggy
and wagon repair shop, and carried a
stock of these vehicles on the floors
above for sale.
to the extent of $500. Eight buggies and
three wagons and the machinery in the
shop were burned. Mr.. Bowen's loss is
between $1,000 and $500, with no in
lsurance.
| Mr.. A. f. Bowen had some Victor BIZ
cycles and other goods to the extent Of
$500 burned. They were not insured.
The other half of this building was
luSed as a store house
Mr.. Chas. Ferrall had stock of hard
ware stored here, which was valued at
over $1,000. He, too, had no insurance.
Mrs. Fasnach's furniture was stored
here. This was valued at 5000 and the
Insurance policy had become inopera-
tive
Besides the above, other goods, some
of which was owned by Mr.. Yancey, had
been placed here for safe keeping. These,
which were all burned, are valued at
$500.
This large building was erected by N.
is. Harp, Mr.. L. B. Yancey wife's faith
Ter, and was kept in trust for Mr.. Yam
icey's children until they became of age
Mr.. Yancey says that he valued the
property at $4,000, and it was not in
,sured.
The origin of the fire is not clearly
known. 1t seems to have started from
the rear. This fact it is, perhaps, which
causes some to assert that the fire origi-
mated in the shed behind the house, from
which it could easily have spread into
the house. However, no one seems to
know positively how it originated. 1t is
claimed that no fire had been left in the
repair shop.

CARMEN" TO BE SUNG TONIGHT
"Oliyette" Presented at the Academy Of
Music Last Night.

| Not to admire the singing of Margaret
Baxter, the delightful brightness of Su~
sic Kirwin, the quick wit of Clarence
Harvey, the beauty of Miss Ripley, Miss
Hare, Miss de Estley and a dozen others
of the Wilbur Opera Company, were
merely to evince deplorable taste. And
yet l must acknowledge that I thought
"Olivette," as presented last night, while
good, was not up to the high standard
attained by this company in its previous
performances.
1t lacked that life and snappy bright
ness that has been characteristic of the
troupe's work heretofore. OF course there
were good things in "Ohvette, plenty
of them-lines rich in wit and detfly
turned-but there were others.
Yet it was the fault of the piece rather
than the persons engaged in it's presen-
tation. Clarence Harvey, as Coquelot,
and Miss Kirwin, as Veloutin, did there
best to redeem the situation, but the linn
itations of the opera-the lack Of elbow
room-were apparent. Mr.. Harvey, as
always, was utterly amusing, but his
part was not as prolific in opportunities
as some he has previously filed. Miss
Kirwin looked sparklingly tempting, and
acted with a freshness and vivacity that
went far to redeem the fairness Of other
parts. Her version Of the song "Oh,
Honey, My Honey" with its rich pathos,
and echo-chorus, was a delightful thing
that the audience thoroughly enjoyed.
AS / predicted yesterday morning the
house last night was packed, every seat
was taken, all the standing room sold,
and yet hundred or more people were
turned away.
This evening grand opera will be SUBJ
stituted for comic. That charming opera
Carmen" will be presented and Miss
Kirwin's many admirers will have an
opportunity of seeing her at her best.
