dence was now before the House
Mr. Foushee, of Durham, amended it
to include also the printing of the testi-
mony.
NO, no. protested Senator Osborne,
Its entirely too long
It'll bust the State to do that ex-
claimed Senator Glenn.
How long is ity' asked Mr.. Feu-
shee.
Its about 14O pages said Senator
Osborne.
''Oh that's not so terribly long replied
Mr.. Foushee.
"My reason for making this motion
is that those who desire to- do 50 may
thoroughly investigate this case. 'lniess
the evidence is printed they can't do it,
and must take the committee report on
faith
Mr.. Julian, of Rowan, didn't believe
there were half a dozen men i'll the
Legislature who would read the evidence
if printed.
Senator Hicks agreed with Mr.. Fou-
shee-the record ought by all means to
be printed. If members proposed to
adopt the report as matter of conSe-
science they had as well do so at once,
hut il they were going TO make per-
sonal investigation of the law and facts,
this was the only way to do it.
'.'rhe people are more interested III
this matter than in any other except
White Supremacy"
Senator Osborne again told Of the i'm
mense size of the book it would make.
Mr.. Craig-'Was there much dispute
about the facts?'
Senator OSborne-"No sin. There are
four ype-written copies of the testimony,
and I'll be glad to point out the material
parts of it to anyone desiring TO inves-
tigate it. Over 100 pages of it are
worth nothing at ALL I'm unwilling for
the Legislature TO print such tommy
rot"
Senator Travis said nine-tenths of the
evidence was immaterial and he didn
think it necessary TO have 1t printed.
He had confidence III the committee. he
said. and even if he held contrary
opinion he would hesitate to assert 1t.
This ended the debate.
The motion to print the evidence was
lost. but the motion to print the report
nreyailed by a very large majority.

Celebrated-The Graves of the Vic

Havana, Feb. 15.-11:30 a. M.-Ihe
sun shone brightly this morning for the
first time in several days upon the wreck
of the United States battleship Maine
destroyed in Havana harbor on the even
ing of February 18th, 1898, was deco
rated with a large American flag. At
8 o'clock the stars and stripes was hoist
ed at half mast by Captain Eaton, OF
the United State auxiliary cruiser Reso-
lute. who. with Mrs Estes Rathbon and
Mrs. Dudley and ten sailors of the Reso-
lutte rowed to the sunken battleshlp.
The only others taking part were a bat

An immense rope of green's was fes-
tooned about the fighting top, each loop
hung with laurel wreaths four feet
in diameter. and tied with red, white
and blue ribbon. The Cuban club of
Havana had placed an artificial wreath
on the boat crane and this Captain Eaton
transferred to the peak of the gaff.
At 10 O'Clock high mass was celebra-
ted in memory Of the Maine victims
in the Mercede Church, at which Major
General Ludlow and several of his
staff were present The ceremony,
which was very impressive, was attend
ed by Brigader General George r..

Captain of the port and other naval
officers, the city council, the executive
committee of the Cuban Assembly and
other members of the assembly, the sec

afternoon the graves at Colon cemetery
were decorated in the presence of Amer
lean officials, military and naval attaches
participating.
In the presence of the American Off
cials, military and naval details partici-
pating. The graves were thickly COW
cred with flowers. Father Sherman
had been invited by Mrs Rathbone, whc
is President of the Women's Associa-
tion to read prayers at the grave side
and he appeared at the American club,
from which the procession started, in
full yestments and with the assurance
that Mgr. Santander, the Bishop OF Ha-
vana. had given his consent.
Commodore Cromwell said that. as
the Bishop was not willing that a prot
estant chaplain should offciate, he Com
modore CROMWELL would not consent to
the reading of prayers by Father Sher-
man. The latter thereupon went to his
hotel. He had deferred his sailing on
receipt of Mrs. Rathbone's invitation.
Commodore Cromwell informed the
newspaper correspondents that the sail
ors felt deeply on the subjects, regarding
the ceremony of decorating distinctly a
naval affair. Therefore he could not
permit any except naval chaplain to
officiate. Although he was quite will
ing that both protestant and Catholic
clergyman should act.

Mr.. Moore, of Jackson, was thirsting
for just such resolutions. He had heard
of this Wilson business until he was sick
of it. He wanted to adopt the report
and be through with the whole thing.

motion would not prevail. He for one,
was not prepared to vote. He had gwen
the evidence some study aad he was
sorry he had not been able u come to
the same conclusion as had been re; ~ched
by the committee.
1T looks like an effort IS being mace
to sweep the adoption of this resolution
over us. 1t should not be done. So far
as / have been able to learn. both
the Wilson's are guilty and ought to
have been turned out. Such evidence

his motion to postpone action. The re-
