The police made an important
arrest here last week. A negro
named Frank Williams offered a
valuable lot of jewelry for sale at
store near the fish market. The
case looked suspicious and the
keeper of the store came down and
acquainted the police with the cir
cumstances. The negro was at
once arrested and locked up. He
made some kind of a statement
about finding the box of jewelry,
but it has been learned since that
he is just from the penitentlary,
where he served ten years sen
tence for stealing an overcoat. He
has two accomplices, which the
police hope to capture. 1t is sur
missed that a jewelry store in some
other town has been robbed.

The Democracy Is a Unit On the
Measure.
Fridays Raleigh News-ObserYer.
The Democratic joint caucus de-
cided last night to submit the con-
stitutional amendment to the peo
! pie.
The following resolution, draft
ed by Judge Connor, was passed
by the caucus:
"Resolved, That it is the sense
of the Democratic caucus to SUBJ
NIT constitutional amendment
on the subject of suffrage to vote
of the people of the next general
election"
The vote on this resolution was
by separate roll call, the Senate
voting first. Every Senator pres
ent voted for the Resolution. The
House voted at the completion OF
the Senate roll call.
More than the requisite three
ffths of the total membership OF
each house voted for the resolu-
ton.
This settles two questions oefin-
itely:
A constitutional amendment
will be submitted.
It will be submitted at the gen
eral election in 1900.
AS to the nature of the amend
ment nothing was determined at
the caucus last night beyond the
general fact that it will be sub
stantially the same as that sub
mitted by the committee and
printed in this paper on last Sun
day.
Some minor changes will prob
ably be made, but they will effect
details only and will in no wise
change the nature and scope OF
the amendment. There may be
some changes of dates.
The caucus will meet again to-
night to perfect the amendme ut
and formally adopt it. The reso :
luton of last night settled all but
the mere form of voting.
There was no opposition to the
adoption of the amendment, and
the caucus was harmonious
throughout. There was free ID
terchange of opinions, the keene st
interest being manifested.
It is expected that the amend
ment, after receiving the final
stamp OF approval Tonight, Will
be submitted to the Fl ouse within
the next few days, and it is not
improbable that it will pass both
houses within the week.
Some of the finest speeches oi
the session were III ade in the caua
Gus, and the amendment and pos
sible developments were fully dis
cussed. Among those who spoke
were Senators Glenr,, Eaves and
Bryan and Representatives Davis,
of Haywood; Leatherwood, of
Swain; Council, of C'atawba; Nc
Lean, of Harnett, ancl Judge Com
nor, of Wilson.

YESTERDAY IN THE SENATE.


The Senate yesterday made
slow progress on the laws relat-
ing to the Insane and the govern
ment of the hospitals. Another
effort was made to exclude ine-
briates, but without success. The
section permitting voluntary ap-
plication by inebriates was strick-
en- out.
The principle part of the dis
cussion yestesday was upon the
question of admitting any one ex-
cept INDECENT insane, compro-
mise having been reached by Sen
ator Travis's s substitute. Senator
Speight who has the bill in
charge and who evidently has
given it most careful thought, is
standing by the bill manfully.

and successfully resisting others
The main fight on the bill is ex-
pected to come to day, when the
sections relating to the crimina
and dangerous insane come up.
For the second time in the Sen
ate the fusionists have beer
routed by the provisions of thei1
election law of 1895. In each case
decided against them this ses
sion, the unlawful registration
cooked their goose without hav
ing to go any further into frauds
