WILMINGTON, n. c., FRIDAY, JUNE Is, 1900.

Mr.. Craig, of Buncombe, for the rules
committee, reported a bill to abolish
the criminal court in Buncombe. Yam
cey, Madison, Mcdowell and Mitchell
counties; also resolution endorsing
the proposed Appalachian National
park; resolution to obtain information
from the state treasurer, as to pay
ments to Oyster Commissioner Theo-
philus White.
Mr. Winston, for the election law
committee, presented it report, cover
ing the amendments as prepared. 1t
was in the shape Of an original bill. He
said it was desired it should have that
status. The bill came up under suspen-
sion Of the rules, on it's second reading,
and was read in full. During the read
ing number of prominent fusionists
listened to it, in the lobby, with great
interest, among them being Cy. Thomp-
son, H. G. Dockery, Revenue Collector
Duncan and ]. w. Denmark.
Johnson, of Sampson, populist, said
he wanted to hear the amendments
read
Mr.. Winston explained the amend
ments, saying there were three. He said
one Of these struck out the inquiry by
registrar of election as to whether the
poll tax had been paid, but simply pro-
vided for questions as to qualifications
for voting. The second amendment pro-
vides that If any judge Of the superior
court or the supreme court is applied
to by any person to issue a mandamuS
or an injunction or proceeding to re-
strain or otherwise interfere with any
election officer under this act in the
performance of his duty as such, then
and in that case all allegations con-
tained in the affidavit or complaint
upon which such application is based
are deemed to be denied, and that such
mandamus or injunction shall not issue
until issues of fact are passed upon by
jury at the next regular term of the
superior court to be held for the county
in which such election officer may re-
side. The officer may appeal from the
superior court to the supreme court
and may give bonds for costs and dam
ages, not to exceed 5000, and an order
of Injunction shall not issue pending
such appeal.
The third amendment makes the pro-
vision for returns on the constitutional
amendment, which was omitted in the
act of 1899 The bill passed it's second
reading, only two noes being heard.
Mr.. Winston moved to suspend the
rules and put the bill on its third read
ing.
Messrs. Ray, Craig and Rountree
said if Mr.. Johnson or others wanted
more time to look into the bill they
were willing to give it.
Mr.. Johnson said he would like more
time and might wish to offer some
amendments.
Mr. Winston withdrew his motion and
made one that the bill be made a spe-
| cial order for 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. This prevailed.
Mr.. Craig said there was now no
| business before the house, and he want
| ed the bill and resolutions he had re-
| ported from the rules committee taken
| up.
The house refused to take this view
| and at 4:10 o'clock adjourned until 1C
o'clock tomorrow.

Porto Rico's Prospects Good.

SAN JUAN, Dec. 3.-Governor Allen
says, anent the assembling of the legisla-
ture, that the bringing Of the people who
had long been under rules and condi-
tions to their first general election, to
have the election pass off as quietly and
orderly as in any state of the north, con-

such a manner is guarantee Of the

of legislators means education, public
works and all the benefcent works which
follow legislation wisely and concien-
tiously undertaken.

understood that the volunteers whose
terms Of enlistment expire shortly, will
be started for the United States very
soon. There are AZ volunteer regiments
to return. They will be shipped in the
order Of arrival; 6rst in, first out. It il
stated the troops will be sent to the place
Of organization. the men receiving mile
age from the point Of muster out to their
homes. The officers will be paid mileage
to the place where they accepted their
commissions. provided the appointment
was not made in the Philippines. In the
latter case mileage will probably Be paid
from San Francisco. The landing Of the
regiments during the winter, the change
from tropical climate Of the Philippines
is likely to effect the health OF many Of
the volunteers. Al the muster out rolls
are to be prepared enroute there will Be

Plenty Of Work.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-There is plenty
Of work for the congress that assemblies
today. Efforts will be made to pass the
Nicaragua bill, the ship subsidy bill and
Pacific cable bill. These all call for
large appropriations. The river and
harbor bill will, as usual, call for heavy
appropriation and the regular appropri.
alton bills have been largely increased d.
No public building bills have been
passed BY this congress and those passed
by the last congress are waiting addi-
tional appropriations that are made neccs-
sary by the general rise in prices Of ma
terial. There will soon be considerable
pressure tor private pension bills. There
will be hard fight for precedence when
these bills come before the House.

Opera In New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 3.-The present
prospects are that the French opera At
present under way in this city will be the
last this city will see for some time. The
stockholders have been indulging in dis
sensions for some time, one faction want
ing to get Its money back and the other
considering art Of importance. French
opera has only survived here for years
through the generous patronage Of few
wealthy enthusiasts. The majority Of
the stockholders have leased the opera
house to local manager. The minority
stockholders have organized French
Opera Association, but guarantees to in
sure opera hereafter haye not yet been
secured.

tor several important measures in which
the Pacific coast has particular interest
IS pretty gloomy. On the eve Of the
opening Of congress matters have taken
turn which is conceded to be injurious to
the to the Nicaragua canal project, and
may effectually prevent legislation on the
Pacific cable. This change was hardly
foreseen, and is even now incomplete,
but today's developments were sufficient
to indicate that unless the opponents ef
the ship subsidy bill quit their fight, and
early in the session, it will thrust aside
all other legislation not imperative.
Senator Frye. father Of the subsidy bill;
and Senator Hanna, its ardent supporter;
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and Payne and
about IS others, many Of them like Ciem-
ent A. Griscom Of the American line,
met at the Arlington hotel and practically
decided on plan of campaign in favor
Of the bill. Senator Frye will bring it
up at once as unfinished business, aud
its friends will fight it along If possible
over any other matter In the way-even
at the temporary expense of the army
reorganization bill. Thus the opponents Of
the subsidy bill will be placed on the de-
fensive and must give in or sacrifice valu-
able time and legislation.
Immediately upon convening Monday
the senate will adjourn over out of re-
spect to the late Senators Gear and Da
Wis. The presidents message will accord
ingly not be read until Tuesday. Nothing
is expected TO he accomplished on that
day. On Wednesday Senator Frye will
bring up the ship subsidy bill aud the
fight will be on.
Hardly anybody discusses the Pacific
cable. and those who do admit its chances
of consideration are small, as in the 70
odd working days of the session vastly
more influential factors will be at work.
Though rumors fly thick it is generally
believed no serious opposition to the army
reorganizations bill will be developed. At
the same time mere consideration Of the
matter involves the whole policy of the
administration in the Philippines and
thus opens the way for unlimited discuss
ion and waste of time.
With army reorganization, congress
sional reapportionment, river and harbor
and other appropriation bills and other
matters that must positively be disposed
of the sentiment is gradually tending to-
ward the necessity of an extra session.
Senator Frye said today an extra ses-
sion appeared inevitable.
