SUGAR BOUNTY GHoULs.

Washington. Feb. Representative
Of the sugar growing interests are MAX
ding efforts to secure from Congress an
appropriation of $1,04S.000 to settle the
balance OF the bounties which they
claim are due them under the act passed
in the last session of the Fifty third Con-
gress. This act gave the sugar makers
something over $5,000,000 for bounties
which were guaranteed them by the Nc
hinley law, but were cut off by the Will
son tariff law The sugar men now claim
that the appropriation of $5,000,000 only
covered about SO per cent. OF the amount
due them at the rate of eight-tenths of
a cent pound bounty.
To-day the Louisiana delegation in
Congress and representatives of the
Western sugar beet men appeared before
the appropriations committees Of the
House to ask for a paragraph in the
sundry civil appropriation bill to satisfy
their claim. Mr. Buck, of Louisiana,
spoke for the sugar growers.

Last year new plan was inaugurated

tom heretofore for the marshal to pur-
chase his own regalia. AS these regalias
were quite expensive, and were of service
to their owners only during the brief sea
son of commencement, many of the stu
dents began to fight shy of what they
felt was an expensive and rather empty
honor, particularly as it was united with
quite onerous duties during commence
ment To correct this feeling and to keep
these honors from going begging,
change was made a year ago by which
the societies were to purchase and hold
from year to year these regalias. The
change wrought the desired effect, and
quite rivalry developed itself among the
aspirants for places on the marshal's
roll This same thing repeated itself on
yesterday, when at the election a very
active competition was to be noticed.
The result Of the election was as follows:

MKENNA OR NOT MKENNA?

San Francisco, Feb. 3.--Judge Joseph
McKenna was to-day shown dispatch
from Canton, making positive announce
ment that he had been offered a place
in the Cabinet. He was asked TO state
whether or not he had accepted the
proffered seat. In reply he said: II do
not wish to seem evasive, but / cannot
say / have accepted any cabinet position
because none has been rendered me.
My position is very different from that
Of Senator Sherman, Mr.. Gage, or Gen
eral Alger, each of whom were offered a
portfolio. Major Mckinley has not said
to me: Twill you accept the Secretaryship
Of the Interior, or will you accept the
Attorney GeneralshipY He may have
made some statement attributed to him,
regarding me, with the exception of the
remark of Supreme bench, but he has
never made definite offer to me Of a
portfolio. II he should do so, / will
speak, but not until first a statement
comes to me from Mr.. Mckinley"
Mr.. McKenna's friends are neverthe-
less positive that he has been offered and
has accepted one OF two Cabinet posi-
tons, and that it is still an open question
to which he will be assigned. 1t is
known that the ladies Of HIS household

The regular monthly meeting Of the Phi
Illogical Club postponed from last week

represented by different forms, it was
shown that union of the two occurred.

Hence, in the Latin development. union
of these two functions of the Ablative

THE "BRIDGE-BURNERS.
The East Tennessee n-Sympathizers
Given Higher Pension.

Washington ID. c.. Feb. b. The East
Tennessee Bridge Burners have been re-
commended by the House committee on
Invalid Pensions as worthy a higher rate
of pension than other soldiers because Of
the periIous character of their duty and
the sufferings they underwent.
A number Of citizens of East Tennessee
in 1861 enlisted in the Union secret SER
vice as bridge-burners, understanding
that they would be hanged or shot II cap
tured by the enemy. They only consent
ed to undertake the work on condition
that the army under Thomas should at
once occupy Tennessee after the bridges
were burned in order to protect the men
engaged and this was promised. Bridges
were burned, but Thomas did not come,
having been recalled, and the burgers
were deserted. They attempted TO escape
into Kentucky, but were unsuccessful,
and disbanded. Some were captured
and shot, some escaped to the mountains
and others Joined the Union army. In
view of these facts the committee thinks
special recognition should be given them.
These facts are set forth in a report
from the House committee on Invalid
Pensions, upon a bill introduced by Rep
resentative Anderson, of Tennessee, which
provides that thirteen persons named
who were engaged in this service be
placed on the pension list at $24 month.
This amount lis recommended by the COM
mittee's report to be reduced to S12 a
month, which is to be taken in lieu of
other pension.

IN THE HOUSE OF IT'S FRIENDS.
Chairman Washburn Seemingly At
tempts to Take Silver From the Popu-
lists Issues

Washington, Feb. 3.-Populist mem
bers of Congress, it is said, do not take
kindly to the proposition Of National
Committeeman Washburn, Of Massachu-
sets, that the Peoples party abandon
the silver question and fall back upon
the two questions of government issue
of paper money and government control
of railroads. Likewise they are not in
favor Of calling conference Of the party
leaders to determine what shall be done,
as proposed by National Secretary Edger-
ton. Senator Butler and Senator Allen
and others are strongly opposed to-day TO
conference, and they are just as strong
ly opposed to any change from the issues
of the last campaign. Chairman Butler
expressed his opinion to-day that the Pop
ulist party is committed to free silver
as the main issue until that issue is final
ly disposed Of Then he thinks it will be
time enough for the party to take up other
issues.
THE logic of the situation won't permit
the party to cut adrift from the silver
question" said Representative Ken, of
Nebraska. THE Populist party is strong
er by reason of its support of silver"
National Committeeman Wardell, Of
California, who is in the city, said that
''the National convention at st. Louis
fixed the issues for the Populist party
The talk of changing the issue now is idle
We could not change the issue if We
wanted to-"
Representative Bell, of Colorado, said
that in his opinion nine-tenths of the
Populist party fully believe in the last
party platform in it's entirety, and added
mo. it is my opinion that we will not
divide the silver vote in 1900, or abandon
the platform of 1896, nor cease our et-
forts until the great middle classes are
recognized in governmental action, as
well in stump speech parlance. as the
bone and sinew Of the Republic"

The Populists will vote as unit
against the lease.
This statement does not necessarily ln-
.slude nor exclude Messrs. Maxwell, fer-
son, Hileman and Whitener.
But it includes 81 Popuhsts who were
present last night at the majority caucus
and two absent Ones who were vouched
for.
The vote of the Populists was unani-

the lease Of the North Carolina Railroad
xnder the present so-called contract
Among those present was, of course.
DIR. Alexander, Of Tyrrell, whose name
has been very unjustly mentioned among
certain Populists who would vote to sus
tain the lease.
DR.. Alexander, last night, accordingly
arose in his place and made statement
that every member OF the caucus was
bound by the action Of the majority and
he wanted it understood that he would
stand by rule Of the majority.
But such a statement was not neces-
sary. for DIR. Alexander, with the rest,
when his name was called, voted that he
would be found on the side OF the people
against robbery.
Some member moved, without thinking,
10 make the vote unanimous.

piled the Speaker. 'the vote is unanl-
NOUS
Senator Butler had arrived yesterday,
and was present. of course, at the caucus.
He was seen by News and Observer
reporter this morning just before taking
the northbound train for Washington,
and expressed himself as highly pleased
at the action Of the caucus, and said he
believed they were in to the death OF
for the protection of the people against
railroad magnates and corporate power.
Mr.. Butler would not state what was
the object of his brief visit, but one may
Judge somewhat from the fact that as
soon as the North Carolina Railroad
lease resolution was passed, he boarded
the train for the National capital.
This showing of 80 Butler Popuhsts
with 10 Skinner Populists who Skinner
said would stand against the
lease, makes fftyTeight members
Of the Populists The count Of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will be given more
definitely at another time. OF course the
emily strength the railroad crowd will get
will be among its Republican allies. The
railroads vice-president voted for Nc
Kinley, and it is only natural that certain
Republicans should stand by him in this,
his sore hour of need and distress.
There have been certain insidious in
auences at work among the Populists
but they have stood staunchly for their
principles, as was clearly enunciated by
DIR. Alexander last night in his coura.
geous and timely utterance.
