ported, fixing the rate on third-class wool,

SPLIT OF TARHEEL SENATORS.
No Truth In n Report that they Have
Joined Hands.

Washington. June GA report has been
floating around in the North Carolina coll
ony for several days past to the effect
that Senators Butler and Pritchard have
settled their political differences and form
ed combination to act together In the
future.
In view of the bitter personal attacks
made upon Senator Pritchard by his col
league in the last campaign, when Sena-
tor Pritchard was struggling for re-elec-
ton TO the Senate. the announcement that
friendly relations had been established be-
tween the North Carolina senator's caused
something of a sensation In national. as
well as state politics.
1t was said that Senator Butler, who is
anxious to succeed himself IN tho Senate,
made overtures to his colleague, and that
an agreement was reached between them
by whtAh %hey were to not only divide the
national aud state patronage, but they
,sere to work together in the future on
the most friendly terms.
The absurdity of the report was at once
established when the North Carolina SEN
ators We're interviewed on the subject.
Senator Pritchard gives 1t an emphatic
denial, and says the statement is without
lnt bHBHAtSL lQuHudAiOls dioO a0AAlo9
that Senator Butler has made overtures
to him since his reelection to the Senate,
either in regard to the distribution of pat
ronage or cooperation In the future. Their
relations are to a certain extent friendly,
and in dealing with matters of state leg
islation they endeavor to act together, but
otherwise they are as wide apart as they
were during the last campaign, when Sem
ator Butler made an unsuccessful attempt
to prevent the reelection of Senator
Prtchard
Senator Butler confirms the statement
of Senator Pritchard, and says that no
proposition has ever been made on either
side looking to an adjustment of their
political differences. In matters affecting
the interest OF the state they have voted
and worked together, but Senator Butler
has made no effort TO share in the patron
age of the state or to enter into an agree
ment to secure Senator Pritchards aid and
assistance In the future.

Lonestrcet's Estimate of Grant.

General Longstreet, who COM
manded q corps in Lees army, told
me, several years after the war,
that the evening on which news
was received that Grant intended to
give personal direction to the army
which was to operate against Lee
he had a conversation on the subject
at Lees headquarters. An officer
present talked very confidently of
being able to whip with all ease the
western general who was to con-
front them, at which Longstreet
said, "Do you know Grant2' mo, !"
the officer replied. "Well, I do, >"
continued Longstreet. II was in
the corps of cadets with him at West
Point for three years, was present
at his wedding, I served in the same
army with him in Mexico, I have
observed his methods of warfare in
the west, and I believe I know him
through and through, and tell you
that VIC cannot afford to underrate
him and the army he now COM
mands. We must mako up our
minds to get into line of battle and
to stay there, for that man will fight
us every day and every hour till the
end of this war. In order to whip
him we must outmaneuver him and
husband our strength as best we
can. General Horace Porter in

Grant Has q Monument at Last.

New YORK, Dec. 2S.-At the sug-
.gestion of Gen. Horace Porter, presi-
dent of the Grant Monument Associa.
tion, the board of estimate to-day
appropriated the sum of $4,000 to
pay the expenses attending the dedi-
cation of the Grant monument on
April 29. The money is to be ex-
pended under the direction of the
mayor and board of estimate.
In his statement to the board Gen.
Porter said that the ceremonies should
be under the direction of the city
authorities, as the dedication Of the
monument is to be distinctly city
affair. He said that the association
would turn over the monument to the
city on the day of dedication, ano
then their official connection with the
ceremonies would cease. Gen. Porter
said that the total cost of the monu
ment will be 100000, the largest sun
ever raised by popular subscription
for such a purpose. All of thit
money, except $4,000 he said, hac
been contributed by citizens of New
York city in amounts ranging from
one cent to FIVE thousand dollars. He
further stated that President-elect
Mckinley had agreed to be present al
the ceremony, and that all the mem
bers of the Cabinet, the diplomatic
corps, the Legislature, Governors Of
States and mayors Of all large cities
ought to be invited. TheGovernment
would invite all nations maintaining
fleets in the Atlantic to participate in
q naval parade.
