Report OF Fertilizer CONTROL station.

Messenger Bureau.


Raleigh, y. c., February ;.
The decision Of the democratic eau
Gus hat the legislative session shall
end February 18th was not unexpected.
The argument was made long ago thai
1t might be very necessary for the leg
tsiature TO meet again in 1900 in case
there was n trouble regarding the
franchise amendment 10 the constitu-
ton which Is 20 be voted on in Au-
gust OF that year. The legislature Is
entitled TO sit 90 days. BY adjourning
or rather taking a recess, February s5th
IL will have about two weeks OF re-
naming life. II may be hat the ad-
iourned session Will not be necessary.
There are no cases Of marked i'm
portance 10 come up at the adjourned
term OF the federal court, which begins
here next Tuesday.
The oyster entry claims, which the
state treasurer has for two years de-
clined 10 pay amounted TO something
like $1,000, and were from Pamlico and
Carteret counties. The legislative COM
mittee allows $l,922.
Some time ago State Geologist Holmes
~was asked TO give his opinion as TO the
depth at which artesian water could be
obtained at Wilmington. and replied
between 1000 and LOO feet. He vas
today advised that water had been
struck al LOO feet, with a flow OF 200
gallons a minute, and that the water
rises seventy-five feet above the
ground level.
State Chemist a. W. Blair today rs
sued a report on fertilizer control dur
ing 1898. There were no less than S23
brands OF commercial fertilizers reg
istered that year and samples for anal
ysis were secured OF 531 brands, or
about 60 per cent. Of the total. The
registration was $50 brands greater
than in 1897. The increase in consump-
ton of fertilizer is very rapid. During
1898 il was 246, GEO tons, valued at Sc
Q0O,O0 against 20S 900 tons valued at
is manufactured in North Carolina and
Virginia. One out of every four sam
pies fell below the guarantee in some
ingredient n one out OF eighteen in
valuation.
The plans for the large addition t,
the state museum are nearly complet-
ed. Henry Z. Bonitz is doing the work,
under the supervision of State Geolo-
gist Holmes and 7. X. Bruner.
A. NJ. Mates has resigned as super
visor of public instruction of Vance
county and now the fusion county
board of ducation there is virtually
on trial for removing certain persons
without hearing. The state superin-
endent of public instruction is max
ing things lively for these people.
At a large mass meeting of Raleigh
people last night the new city charter
was amended in many particulars and
made very satisfactory. 1t is now be-
fore the legislature.
There are now about 80 criminal in
sane in the penitentiary. Over two
thirds are whites. The latter are in the
west wing which is occupied solely by
them, and their quarters, or ward, are
we'll arranged.

THEIR SEA rs VACATED
Finding OF the Committee OF Congress
Regarding Members Commissioned
I'm the Army

Washington February 3.-The inqui-
ry ordered by the house of representa-
tives as to what members had forfeit
ed their seats by reason of accepting
other offices ended today, with the
finding by the judiciary committee
hat Major General Wheeler, a mem
Der from Alabama; Colonel James r.
Campbell, of Illinois; Colonel David G..
Colson, of Kentucky, and Major Ed
ward E. Robbins, of Pennsylvania, had
vacated their seats in the house by ac-
cepting commissions in the army. AT
the same time the committee deter
mined that none of the members Of con-
gress serving on civil commissions had
therebN vacated their seats in the
house.
Mr.. Henderson, chairman of the COM
mittee, says hat throughout the in
quiry pa~rtisanship did not enter into
the question. The findings are embod-
led in a resolution which will be sub
mitted to the house with a report.
Mr.. Jenkins, of Wisconsin, voted in
the negative and Mr.. Parker, of New
Jersey, voted in the negative in the
case of Major Robbins the latter hav-
ing been mustered out of service.
General Wheeler was seen after the
findings was announced, but asked to
be excused from commenting on the
decision as it was in the nature of a
judicial proceeding.
1t is said General Wheeler and his
associates will take no action for the
present as the findings Of the commit
tee is yet to be passed upon by the
house. The fac that Mr.. Jenkins vot-
ed against ~unseating General Wheeler
and the others may lead to a minority
renOrt.

CUBAN PRIDE WOUNDED
BY Mckinley Offering the Soldiers
100000 Gomez Censured for
Agreeing to the Pro pOsal

Havana, February 3.-Among the
Cuban leaders who have given express
sion to their views on the subject, as
sert that General Gomez was not au-
thorized to agree to the DISARMAMENT
OF the army without consulting the
Cuban assembly and obtaining it's per-
mission. Indeed, when the report ar
rived hat General Gomez a accept
ed Mr.. Porter's proposition on behalf
of the president, many doubted it, re-
fusing to believe that he would act in
this fashion. A Cuban said today: IF
the news is true, the Cuban assembly
will nave grounds for proceeding
against General Gomez. The idea of
So, 200, 900 as a gift from the United
States to the Cuban soldiers is repug-
ant and wounds the pride of Gu
bans"
A number of interviews obtained to-
day with prominent Cuban generals go
to show the feeling in the higher mil
itary circles.
General Mayia Rodriguez, command
er Of the Cuban forces in the prov
inces of Pinar del Rio, Havana, Ma
tanzas and Santa Clara, and econd in
command in the Cuban army, said:
Il cannot think that General Gomez
would take this resolution regarding
~ A1A
portance as the payment and disband-
ment of the Cuban army without con
sulting the Cuban generals. Although
it is still believed hat the United
States will fulfill it's promise to give
Cuba her liberty, I think the Cuban
army should continue to aid in pre-
serving order in the island until this
promise has been fulfilled, and until
certain important matters have been
clearly Gecided, such as, for Instance,
who is g pay the cost CT the numer-
Gus and unnecessary American army
of occupation-Cuba or the United
States. General Gomez foes not hold
the power to disband the army with
out the authorization Of the Cuban as
sembly, and until after cor sultatior
with the generals"
Generals Leyte Vidal and Perraza
and others concur in the views Of
General Rodriguez.
Genera Enrique CallaZo said: The
Cuban army cannot and should not ac-
cept a gift or charity from any ma
ton. We asked for what is rightly
ours"
