that even if it should be held by this
court that the debts against the town of
Fayetteville were not extinguished by
the repeal of the town charter and that
they are valid and good against the
city of Fayetteville. yet the officials OF
the new corporation are not only not
authorized to levy taxes to pay those
debts. but are prohibited from doing so
by the very terms of the act of incor-
pOration, and that the power of tax
a;ion is legislative. and cannot be eXer-
cised otherwise than under the author
lily of the legislature"
But that the power of taxation which
is vested in the legislature is such Il
power as the defendant contends for
cannot he maintained. The power is
subject to the qualification which at
tends all state legislation; that is. that
it must not be exercised to impair the
obligation Of contracts. thereby con-
flicting with the constitution of the
United States and that of North Caro-
lima.
If the time which elasped between the
repeal Of the charter of tho town of
Fayetteville ana tho act of 1892 which
incorporated the ely OF Fayetteville.
and during which time the territory
was a taxing district. is to he countoo.
then the statute OF limitations Oer
years. will be Il bar to the action: If
that time is not to be counted, then
the statute will not be a bar to the
action. We are of the opinion that the
time should not be counted. Affirmed.

THE HOUSE

Washington, January 6.-The anti-civil service reformers scored a victory in the house today The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was taken m for consideration and when the appro- priation for the civil service commission was reached MT. Evans rep. Ky), made a moton to strike it out. This motion has been made annually for dozen years or more, but has invariably failed.
 But today the opponents of the law laid great stress on the fact that they could not get direct vote upon the proposition and were therefore compelled to seek it's notification in this manner. Even these appeals failed to bring out the full strength of the opposition, though the motion to strike out carried by a narrow majority 67 to 61. This was in committee of the whole, where no record is made of the vote. MT. Moody (rep. Mass.) gave notice that he would demand a record vote in the house. where the friends of civil ser vice expect to reverse the decision.
 Extra Pay for Volunteers
 At the opening of the session of the house today, Mr. Marsh (rep. Ill) asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a bill to grant to officers and men of the volunteer army, upon their muster-out, two months extra pay, if they have serv- ed beyond the limits of the United States, and one months extra pay if they only served within the limits of the United States This extra pay to be in lieu of furloughs or leave of absence. It has been the practice to grant these furloughs or leaves of absence so that in reality the bill only sought to do directly what has here- tofore been done indirectly.
 After this explanation, Mr. Bailey (dem Tex.), announced that he had no objection to the measure. The bill was passed.
 The house then went into committee of the whole, MT. Payne, of New York; in the

STORM AT MOBILE.
Squall Burst Over the City With Great
 Violence.

Mobile, January 6.-After intervals of rain during the night and early morning, the atmospheric conditions of a heavy storm were noticed here between and 10 o'clock this morning.
 At the latter hour a heavy squall, ac- companied by rain, came up from the northwest and burst over the city with great violence.
 The winds velocity was computed to be forty miles an hour.
 Property in the northern parts of the city which were exposed suffered severely. Over a score of tall smokestacks were blown down, along with sheds, stables saw mill buildings and several brick walls.
 Light vehicles were overturned in the streets, and in two instances dama ging runaways resulted.
 On Davis avenue three wooden buildings, including a colored church, were entirely demolished.
 The full force of the wind was expend- ed in the cotton district and on the river, where several vessels were unmoored and impelled at rapid speed towards the bay. The rigging of fifty craft was destroyed.
 Trees have been uprooted in the city, and all Western Union wires east of here are down through the demolition of the iron roof of the Mobile and Ohio freight sheds.
 Two men were blown from the wharves into the river, but so far there has been no loss of life reported.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS.
Secretary Wilson Complies Report on
 the Subject.

Washington, January 6.-The secretary of agriculture has forwarded to congress a report on the work and expenditures of the agricultural experiment stations for the fiscal year 1898. During that time, says the report, the stations have, as a rule, stead fly pursued their Investigations, much useful work has been accomplished and the facilities for Investigations have been in- creased.
 In Wyoming and Arkansas the sub-sta- tions have been abandoned.
 Much progress has been made in the im- portance and thoroughness of the original investigations pursued and the number of . officers competent to undertake such in- vestigations has been increased.
 One of the most necessary features of future work is to have practical application of the results of investigations made so that farmers can be taught to make the best use of the discoveries. Aid from the states is necessary for this work. Much encouragement has been afforded by the lfberality displayed by the states the importance of the work conducted by the stations became more apparent.
 In some instances politics have had a baneful influence on the stations, causing unreasonable changes in the memberships of the governing boards and the removal of efficient officers.
 The results of experiments in Alaska are encouraging, as several sorts of grain and garden vegetables have been successfully raised.
 The Hawaiian islands now present new field for experiments, says the report, and the question of their agricultural develop ment is an important one. An experiment station is already in existence there hay ing been established at Honolulu in 1895 by an association of Hawaiian sugar men,

CROKER FAYORS
 COLONTALTSM Believes in Holding All Possessions Con-

THE MILLIONS SPENT FOR MISSIONS
Annually by United States May as Well be Spent in Our Own Colonies and Assist Inhabitants to
 Be Good Citizens.

New York, January 6.-The Journal and Advertiser will tomorrow print the follow ing statement given out tonight by Richard Croker:
 "I believe in expansion; believe in hold ing whatever possessions we have gained by annexation, purchase or war. This policy is not only patriotic, but 1t is the only safe one to pursue. Any other policy would show weakness on the part of
 the United States and invite foreign com plications. This must be avoided, hence our policy must be vigorous.
 Jefferson was an expansionist, otherwise he would not have favored the acquisition of Louisiana, with its foreign population,
 which in Jefferson's time was quite as re-
 mote as the Philippines. In this age or
 steam and electricity, distance is on argu- ment against expansion.
 Millions for Missions
 'We spend millions annually for mission
 ary work in foreign countries. Now we nave
 a chance to spend this money in our own
 possessions and make the people Of our own
 lands good, law-abding citizens, who In time will be loyal to our constitution ana our flag.
 Take England for example. The people of this little isle come pretty near owning the universe. Are not our people as intelli- gent, as, powerful and patriotic as the English people? The United States is the only country on earth superior to the Eng lish Why not illustrate to the world that we are fully able to cope with greater prop lens than we have had occasion to in the past and in the future dominate any emer- gency?
 "We have a popula ton of eighty millions
 of people; the country teens with young
 men full of life, hope and ambition. Why
 not give these young a chance to develop
 our newly acquired possessions and build
 up country rivaling in grandeur and pa-
 triotism our own United States? Insult to Americans "It is an insult to the American people and to our flag even to suggest that we abandon the peoples we have released from bondage, or what would be more disgrace l full, that we should offer to sell them to the highest bidder. Such a proposition places the American people in the same category with the Chinese, who have neither patriotism nor foreign policy and are in consequence utilized as a door-mat | by the powers of the world. q think the 16 to 1 question as outlined in the Chicago platform a decidedly dead issue. This was fully demonstrated in the last election. We did not embody the 16 to l question in our platform, and the result is that we elected every one of our con- gressmen."

IMPORTING ITALIANS.
Alabama Negroes Too Shiftless for
 Pana Mine Operators.

Ppna, H.. January c-Eighteen Italians have arrived here by rail from Chicago. It is said that ten of the leading coal op- orators have procured the services of labor agency to hire Italians to work in the Pana mines. The operators are apparently becoming dissatisfied with the negroes br us,l here from Alabama, so many of them proving shiftless and turbulent. The Italians, on arrival, were met by com mittee of union miners and escorted to the union headquarters or Second street. The Italians seemed to be greatly surprised on learning of the strike, and refused to work with the reg oes. Tie Mine:s' Dn'on and ci'isens are making up purse and will re- turn the Italians to CT icago.
