RALEIGH'S BUDGET.
STRENGTH OF THE PARTIES IN
TIE LEGISLATURE.
The Senatorial Fight-A Denial OF
the Statement Tint Money Is Being
Used-Daptist Boys Brigndc-Per-
sonnI and General.

RALEIGH, n. c., January S.-(speciaD
The strength OF the three parties in the
Legislature is officially reported to be, as
shown by the caucuses: Republicans, ";
Populists, 20; Democrats. 20. The Republi-
cans have claimed Y and the Populists CO.
1t requires Sc votes to elect senator.
One Popullst member from western
county IS with the Democrats, having
been put down that way, and has not
been in the Populst caucus. The Popuiist
State chairman says this. and yet says
he is informed the member in question
was elected as a Popuist. There are
some Populists whose affiliations are a.
most entirely with the Republicans.
Judge Ewart bitterly denies the state
ment that money is being freely offered
to buy votes for Pritchard. Ewart says
there is not enough money here to buy
decent drink" Yet the assertion con-
tinues to be very broadly made. The
charge is openly made that promises OF
Federal offices are being held out.
II was learned this morning that the
Populsts propose TO have Senator Pritch-
ard 20 before their caucus. Pritchard
was very active to-day. His friends IN
sisted. Ewart among them. that his pros
poets were Frightening skinner has GER
talnly not helped Pritchard. on the con-
tTary, he has injured him.
State-Senator Rowland says that only
eight Populists will jump that party s
caucus and go for Pritchard ut all ha-
yards. He says he has this down 10
fine point.
ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
The statement made by Congressman
elect John +. Fowler that he does not
believe pritchard wants to be elected by
boiling Populsts, attracts attention. Some
persons say Pritchard does not care now
he is elected.
The printers are making an earnest de-
mand on the Legislature that only union
labor be employed in the state printing.
The street-car company, burned out
last week, will have its electric lights IN
operation next week.
The Office of the Tribune. the new Re-
publican daily. is almost in shape. The
paper appears Sunday.
The colored ofiice-seoker and hanger-on
is more in evidence around the Capitol
these days ard nights than at any time
in thirty years. A Populist confessed to-
day that the negro was thorn in the
side of most of that party.
HELD UP THEIR HANDS.
Nine Of the members Of the Legislature
in taking the oaths, did not kiss the Biole'
but held up their hands.
Joseph Alexander, Governor-elect fus-
sells private secretary to-day called on
Governor Carr and paid his respects.
Josiah Turner is here. Twenty-six years
NOW
he is a Republican. He has a claim for
interest on money due him for public
printing. and this will go before the Legis-
lature.
There IS a Baptist Boys Brigade here
IT is attached TO the sunday school Of the
Baptist tabernacle IS thirty-oight strong
and is uniformed in dark blue with white
facings, and in regular military style, and
has a drill master.

By order of the Cuban Junta the steam.
err Bermuda sailed from Fernandina,
Florida, In search of the missing steamer
Laurada which is known to have had on
board an important expedition in aid of
the insurgents. The Bermuda cleared
from the Custom House for SANTANA, San
Domingo but was acting under instruc.
tions from President Palmo, of the
Junta, who had been in consultation at
Jacksonville with Colonel Nunez.
1t is believed that tho Laurada has
broken down, and that those on board are
In need of assistance. The tug Monarch
has been started from Pensacola on the
same errand, and is now cruising among
the Florida Gays.
From Cablegrams received from Havana
1t Is almost positively certain that the
Laurada has not landed her big cargo of
munitions of war, and 1t Is reluctantly
admitted by Cubans here that her mission
has thus far been failure. The seizure
at Jacksonville of the steamer Three
Friends for violation Of the neutrality
laws is also the cause Of discouragement
to the friends of Cuba.

New York, March 25.-Russell Sage
said today regarding the decision of
the supreme court against the Trans
Missouri Traffic association that
four to five decision was not so alarm
ing after all. ut is bound to come out
all right in the end," continued Mr..
Sage. Brain and capital have ruled
the world since the advent of man, and
natural laws have not been changed
because of this one adverse decision
No human law can prevent the com
bination of interests in social or busi-
ness affairs. So called protective laws
are not needed by the public, for no
association or trust has yet been able
to operate at profit for any length Of
time when it attempted to oppress the
people,"

Robert Mantell, under the management
Of M. w. Hanley will be at the Opera
House tomorrow night. He will presen:
anew romance from the pen of Bicknell
Dudley, entitled, "a Gentleman. From
Gascony" The scenes of the drama are
laid in France during the reign of Henri
of Navarro, opening with the coronation
festivities, which were so quickly followed
by the massacre of the Huguentos on st.
Bartholomew's Day. Mr.. Mantell plays
Raoul de Puycadere,a Gascony adventurer
and Huguenot
OF course there Is love story which en-.
ables Gascon to WOO and win the beauti-
full Gabrielle de Vrissac, maid of honor of
the queen, and played by Miss Charlotte
Behrens. Love and intrigue alternate
rapidly through the story, and keep TWEEN
ty.six speaking characters and number
of auxiliaries pretty busy before the tale
is told. The entire equipment of the play
is new and 1t is safe to promise that this
will prove one of the picturesque p roduc-
tions of the season.
