not be secured without this block of
STOCK. On the other hand it is con-
tended by the present management of
the Seaboard and the Williams syndi-
cate that control can be secured with

Mr.. John Shelton Williams, head Of
the syndicate, said to-day:
do not apprehends that there will
De any serious trouble caused by the
ACTON taken by Mr.. Ryan. 1t may
postpone the full development of our
plan for short while
II was learned to-day that the scheme
or the syndicate includes the purchase
OF stock In q number of affiliated COM
panies and subordinate roads in the
Seaooard system. The price offered for
the stock of the old Bay Line is said
TO be $4,000 share. This figure is $500
more than was offered by Mr.. Ryan
TWO years ago. Until recently this
stock was quoted at s1.1OO. To-day
$1,000 was bid for it on the Stock Elk
chanSe. The par value is $1,000.
The price which is said to have been
offered for Raleigh and CASTOR stock
is $50. The majority of these securi-
ties Is owned by the Seaboard and
Roanoke, and would pass with it into
the hands of the syndicate.

Raleigh, N. c., January 5.-Two bills
were introduced in the House of The
North Carolina Legislature recurring
all railroads in the State to onero.a
coaches for white and colored passen-
gers.
One Of the bills is an exact cow of
the law now in froce in Tennessee
and which has been declared unconsti-
tutional.
The other bill is similar to II. ex-
cept that 1t provides that any first
class coach may be divided into COM
partmentS, separated by Il substantial
partition in lieu of separate coaches. A
bill was introduced in the House to
amend the State cons titution to the ef
feet that "all moneys arising from the
taxation of the polls and property Of
the white race for public schools shall
be appropriated to the support of the
public schools of the white
race. and all the moneys arising
from the taxation of the polls and
property Of the colored race. for pub-
lie schools. shall be appropriated to the
support Of the public schools of the COL
ored race"
The school fund is now proportional
according to population, the negroes
getting as much per capita as the
white people though they pay only
about ten per cent. OF the taxes.

PHILIPPINE INSURGENTS
Continued from First Page.)
HosTIL1TIEs PROBABLE.

The junta insist that a rupture Of the
friendly relations now existing between
the Filipino national government"
and the American executive is immi-
nent, and that hostilties are probable
unless what they characterize as the
unreasonable, unfair and overbearing
policy of the Americans is modified
They say the Filipinos would deeply
regret such a rupture, but would ac-
cept it as Inevitable"
In concluding the interview the
spokesman OF the junta representatives
said:
THE Filipinos appeal to the Ameri-
can people to uphold the rights OF man
Kind and to avoid bloodshed, assuring
the Americans of our desire to COM
plete friendly settlement through an
impartial commission of inquiry.
The Filipinos loyalty supported the
Americans against the common enemy;
ana they now Nook to the American
nation to fulfill the promises made to
Aguinaldo at Singapore before he pro
ceeded to assist Admiral Dewey. All
the Filipinos ask is the truest and best
rights of mankind"

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.

Mr.. Gallery. of Louisiana. continued
land practically concluded his speech
begun before the holiday recess in OPP
position to the pending Nicaragua
Canal bill.
Mr.. Caffery said in reply to a ques-
ton from Mr.. White that it was his
opinion that If the United States should
build the canal under the pending bill
in the face of the treaty the canal
would be absolutely neutral, and Great
Britain would have every right to use
The canal in time OF war. He thought
the treaty should be abrogated, and
that the United States should construct
the canal Independently of the MARI
time company.
Mr. White expressed the opinion that
the interests OF the human race de-
mand the construction OF the canal. but
said that In proceeding we should have
due regard for all interests. He
Thought, however, that we ought to be
able to devise scheme for proceeding
with the construction of the canal
without infringing upon the rights OF
other nations. and intimated that the
canal might be built and negotiations
with other countries conducted later
During his speech, Mr.. Caffery al
iuded to the statement which had been
made repeatedly that the opposition to
the canal was fostered and maintained
by those who were behind the trans
continental railroads as supporters.
This charge he repudiated, and he de-
clared he would scorn himself II he
could be supposed to be guilty OF it.
Prior to Mr.. Caffery's speech Mr..
Berry (Dem. of Arkaneas) presented a
protest from the ]. Ed. Murray Camp
OF United Confederate Veterans OF AR.
Kansas, against the adoption of tho
proposed amendment of Senator But
jaer tPopuliet. of North Carolina), to the
pension appropriation bill providing for
the payment of pensions TO Confederate
Nsoldiers.
Mr.. Berry said the members of the
camp deemed 1t unwise to adopt such
proposition. They say, said MIR. Ber-
ny. that they have provided for them
selves and their families for more than
generation, and they regard such n
proposition as that Of Mr.. Butler as un.
gracious.
