From 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon to
3 o'clock this morning the joint session
of the General Assembly heard argument
on the cases of j. W. Wilson and s.
Otho Wilson, suspended from the Rail-
road Commission September 23d, 1897,
by Governor Russell AT the close of
argument a vote was taken as above.
Great interest was manifested in the
trial and the hall of the House was
crowded from the beginning of the hear
ing until the door-keeper unlocked the
door to let out the tagged and sleepy
spectators and members at half past
three this morning.
After j. w. Wilson and s. Otho Will
son had been reinstated as Railroad
Commissioners the resignation of S.
Ohio Wilson, which was handed in to
Speaker Connor the first part of the
session, was laid before the joint ses-
sion and accepted. Major Wilson would
have month yet to serve had not the
office of Railroad Commissioner been
abolished. Each will draw salary in full
from the time of his suspension. about
$4,000 for the two.
Counsel for the Governor and the Will
sons occupied the time of the afternoon
session. Judge McRae spoke first for
the Governor, Mr.. r. O. Burton next
for J. w. Wilson. Mr. Il. H. Battle fol-
lowed for S. Otho Wilson and Mr. w.
c. Douglas closed for the Governor
Each spoke A. minutes.
Judge MacRae began by stalking off
his claim.
II desire to state in the outset that
the Governor of North Carolina is not
the prosecutor in this case as was made
TO appear yesterday. The Governor of
North Carolina is today present here by
counsel, but it is not of his seeking. He
has in the discharge of the duties of his
position suspended certain officers. and
he has presented to this General AS
sembly his reasons for so doing. There
his duty ended
"But committee has invited him TO
send counsel here to represent him. He
is willing to take up the burden and
justify his acts. He is willing to be rep
resented here by attorneys if this body
so desires"
Having staked his claim the Judge
proceeded to build thereon by calling
attention to the laws under which the
Wilson's were suspended. He read
Article HI, section of the State Con-
stitution, which prescribes the oath the
Governor shall take before entering
upon the duties of his office; also section
$500 of the Code prescribing his du-
ties as chief executive. and provisions
of the Railroad Commission Act (chapter

REGULARS FOR MANILA.
Six Regiments Ordered There TO Re
Inforce Otis.

Washington, March 2.--Ina Secretary
of War has ordered the reinforcement
of General Otis by six regiments Tn, 50
are the Sixth artillery, scattered along
the Atlantic coast States; the Sixth in
fantfy at San Antonio; the Ninth in
fantry at Madison Barracks, Thirteenth
infantry in New York State, Twenty
first infantry at Fort Crook and neigh
boring posts in the middle West.
These regiments have been ordered
to make ready to proceed to San Fran
cisco and then to Manila.
In answer to the direct question as to
whether or not regular troops are in
tended to relieve a corresponding num-
ber of volunteer soldiers at Manila it
was said at the War Department that
whne this probably would be the case.
it was not possible yet to make a posi-
tive statement.
This means that if when the reinforce
ments arrive at Manila the conditions
are satisfactory the volunteers will he
brought home; but if Otis shall have
need for~all of the combined force then
they must wait
The reinforcements are made up of
troops who are not only regulars in the
full sense of the term. but who have
been through the Cuban or Porto Rican
campaigns. They know what it is to be
under fire; how to hunt Indians and also
how to fight in the tropical jungles.
With them replacing the same number
of volunteers General Otis will have n
majority of regulars in his command,
something the War Department has
earnestly desired to bring about at the
earliest possible moment. The position
of the American commander at Manila
also will be safe-guarded against the eff
feet of sudden and forced discharge
of volunteers by the ratification of the
peace treaty.

320, Laws 1S9D prescribing qualilica-
tions for a COMMISSIONER were read and
discussed.
Constitution: THE Governor
shall take an oath that he will
faithfully perform the duties appertain-
ing to the office of Governor :"
The Code, section 1920: He Che Gov
ernorl is to see that all offices are filled
and the duties thereof performed, or in
default thereof, apply such remedy as
the law allows, and if the remedy is im-
perfect acquamt the General Assem-
bly, Herewith"
Railroad Commission Act: Said
WailroaD Commissioner shall not
be the holder of any stock =, be the
agent or have any interest in any
way in such company, and shall so
continue during the term Of his office.
and i'll case any Commissioner shall
fail in this, or in case any one of them
shall become disqualified TO act, then it
shall be the duty of the Governor to
suspend him from office and report the
fact of his suspensions, together with
the reason therefor to the next General
Assembly. and the question of his re-
moyal from office shall be determined by
a majority of the General Assembly in
joint session."
And this" added Judge MacRae, lis
what brings this assemblage together
this afternoon And let it right here@
be understood that the Governor has
never undertaken to remove these men
from office. He has, in compliance with
the law and Constitution, suspended
them and has reported the case TO you.
Il beg also to call your attention to the
fact that this suspension was not made
in a corner. 1t was not done without
deliberation-an consideration and
careful inquiry. Nor was it taken
without legal advice The first notcie in
the case was issued ON August 24th and
the suspension was not made till Sep
tenber 23d. Do the facts brought in the
testimony disqualfy the Wilson's from
acting as Commissioner? If so you viii
say so and no more.
The main interest in this case clusters
around the Round Knob Hotel. at the
foot of the mountains. Historic SPOT!
Here it was great engineer once gath
cred up the water with which to sluice

REINA MERCEDES RAIS ed
Trouble Feared to be Brewing a
Santiago

Santiago de Cuba, March 2.-After
considerable delay the former Spanish
cruiserReina Mercedes, which was sunk
in the channel of Santiago harbor dur
ing the bombardment by Admiral Samp-
sons fleet ON June 9th, has been raised
and pumped out, the Government tugs
assisting the wrecking company.
She was brought up to the city this
afternoon. Such repairs as can be
readily effected viii be made here. after
which she will probably :a towel to
Havana, though final orders as o her
movements have not yet been 2ceived.
A climax has been reached in the af-
Ialrs OF Santiago. The estimates for
February have been reduced from $40
600 to $4,000, and amounts aggrogntins,
SSo,0O0 expended last month have been
disallowed by the authorities at Havana.
For the month of March all expenditure
for the entire province must be kent
within $4,000.
Even those Cubans who are friendly
to the United States authorities saw
that this amount is less than was
allowed at any time under the Spanish
regime.
Tomorrow more than seven hundred
men VIII be out of work, circumstance
generally recognized as dangerous
menace to public safety at this juncture
and involving large additional police
force

YET received appointments. will, it is
reared, use the occurrence TO intlame the
minds OF the unemployed Inc result
Is difficult to forecast. AS straw
showing the way the wind is blowing, a
company of the Ninth immune regiment
has been ordered into the city. This
move is probably connected with the ex-
pected trouble.

KIPLING READS THE PAPERS.
His Children's Illness Said to be Not
Serious.

New York, March 2.-That Rudyard
Kiplings condition has improved very
greatly during the past twenty-four
hours is evinced by the fact that but
one bulletin was posted during the day.
That was of very satisfactory nature
and il was announced that no further
bulletins would be forthcoming until
tomorrow afternoon. The bulletin is
sued at the Hotel Grenoble at , o'clock
this afternoon was:
"Mr. Kipling has made satisfactory
progress. He has but a slight fever,
but is comfortable though weak, and res
olution is taking place in the affected
portions of the longs.
(Signed 'E. G. JANEW'AY,
'THEODORE DUNHAM." f"
Another indication that the patient
is getting along well is that tonight
he asked to be shown the newspapers.
and he seemed to be greatly pleased and
affected at the interest in his illness
shown by the American people.
Mr.. Kipling spent a comfortable
night. He slept for some hours and
rested we'll, and again this morning
he enjoyed an hour or two of sleep. In
this way he has in a great measure re-
cuperated his strength, and the promises
are very bright for his speedy rccOv-
cry.
According to the latest reports Kip
ling's two little daughters are not SO
seriously i'll as was at first thought.
The elder, Josephine, child of six. is
being cared for at the home of Miss
DeEorest, friend of Mrs. Kipling, and
tonight Miss DeForest said that the
little one was doing very nicely in
deed"
She is suffering from pneumonia,
and it is not known yet whether she is
absolutely out of danger. The younger
Of Mr. Kiplings daughters, Elsie, u
child of three, was said tonight by DR..
Doubleday to be suffering from nothing
more serious than severe bronchitis, and,
he said, it is hoped that the physician
will be able to save her from pneu-
monia. She is isolated at the hotel
Grenoble.

Parkersburg, w. Va, January 90
Mrs. J. P. Eddy died in Richie coun-
ty recently. Her life proves to have
been a very romantic one. She was
reared in luxury in Pennsylvania and
vas married to Eddy against the
wishes of her parents. She accompa-
MED her husband to a small cabin on
a rented farm in Richie county. She
adapted herself to her surroundings
and the couple were supremely happy
amid hardship. They were frugal and
industrious and were soon able to
purchase the farm, and additions were
made until the farm became a large
estate and the cabin gave way to a
more comfortable home. Later it vas
forud that the Eddy farm was splen-
did oil territory and riches poured in
upon them in a stream, but happiness
departed. Troubles ensued, engender-
ed by jealousy, and both parties sued
for divorce. Several weeks ago Mrs.
Eddy went to Harrisyille, where depo-
sitions were taken in her case On
her way home she was taken with a
chill and the next day she was suffer-
ing with pneumonia.
During all these years she had not
heard from her girlhood home in Penn
~svlyanfa. but. on the day before her
death a letter bearing the postmark of
her native town was handed her. 1t
was from a prominent attorney, a
friend of her youth. He wrote that
her father and mother were both dead,
and in the settlement of the vast estate
her share was $4,000. Her death oc-
Cured the next day, and the riches
pass to others.

They will probably go into the
question of eligibility of members of

publican members of that body who
can be clearly proven to be ineligible.
This phase of the situation will not de-
velop unless the Republicans override
law and precedent for partisan advan-
tage in the Senate.
In the House this afternoon, DR.. Tay-
lor, of Cabell, introduced a resolution
providing for the appointment of Hen
ry Stephenson to be door-keeper in
the gallery. 1t was accompanied by
a preamble reciting the fact that the
appointment was asked by the
UNITED MINE WORKERS
of West Virginia, and that the Demo-
Gratis, who are in the majority, have
always espoused the cause of labor.
