LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

\ new capitol bill is expected to pass
both houses this week. The Kiger and
Thomas bills are the favorites.
On Saturday the House PISSED an
act to appropriate money to defray the
expenses of the legislative, executive
and judicial departments of the State
government, and to pay interest on the
bonded debt. Remarkable to state, it
passed without dissenting vote. An
other notable thing in this connection
was that only SO of the 133 members of
the house were present and voted, a
roll call showing 80 abSentees. Chair
man Kyle, of the appropriation com
mittee has accomplished a feat which
finds no parallel in the history of the
ter of century. at least. To have a
bill of this magnitude pass without a
dissenting vote against it is something
very unusual. There is no increase in
the appropriation bill, except in the
matter of the appropriation for tax
assessors, this being the year in which
they must assess real estate. This
item of increase for the tax assessors
IS S2INOO for 1900, the appropriation
Tor lWl being the same as heretofore.
There may be an increase or decrease
IN the appropriation bill of few dol
lars here and there, but in the main

with the exception above noted, is the
same one passed two years ago. \ bill

lions was also passed by the house
unanimously.
very comprehensive antitrust bill
has been introduced in the House.
The House spent all of last Tuesday
debating the Cox uniformity textbook
DILL and passed it at o'clock by vote
of IS to %.
The House passed the Senate bill ap-
proprlating S1000,00O for the public
schools for each of the years 1900 and
l9ol, without debate, and with only one
dissenting vote. The Governor ap-
proved the Industrial Institute and
college appropriation bill.
A concurrent resolution along the
same lines as the Rowan resolution
Introduced in the Senate, was offered
saturday in the House by Mr.. John
S'oh OF Clarke. 1t proposes an amend

The British troops in South Africa
have suffered another stunning defeat
at the hands of the Beers. Gen. War
ren, who captured Spionkop, strong
Boer position, was unable to hold this
vantage ground and was driven back
with heavy loss. The whole British
army under command of Gen. Butler
has had to retreat and recross the
Tugela river, to avoid further crush
ing defeat. A Boer report says the
British left 1900 dead ON the field at
Spionkop. As result of this last de-
feat, the early surrender of the British
garrison at Ladysmith is looked for.
The situation is growing very serious
for the English-more serious than at
any time since the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS, says the London Times,
and John Bulls bluster has assumed
an altogether weaker tone. Hurrah

THE MYSTIC SHRINERS.

A Ceremonial Session of Hamasa Temple
Held The Last Nicht-The New Temple
Dedicated This Morning.
A ceremonial session of Hamasa
Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Mobiles
of the Mystic Shrine, was held at the
Masonic Temple last night, at which
nineteen poor sons of the desert
traversed the hot sands under a
splendid escort and found rest at
Mecca. The following members were
present: John Maynor, S. w. Hos

The work was done under the direc-
tion of the officers of the Temple at
Meridian, assisted by the local mem
bers, and the offer to pay back the
fee to any novice who was at all dis
satisfied, found no takers. The jour
ney of the caravan was such as to try
the endurance of those not accus-
toned to these pilgrimages, but all
held out and at last found rest and
refreshment in the Oriental city. The
following gentlemen know great deal
more about it now than they did

as he could, no doubt, but mans

on such occasions.
After the journey, the traditional
banquet was given, and over fifty
Shriners sat down to an elegant
repast prepared by the Brookhaven
members. After the inner man had
been satisfied, Noble G. M. Rubush as
master of ceremonies, called for
speeches, and appropriate responses
were made by Lieut.. Gov. Harrison,
Col. R. H. Henry, H. H. Folk, Rev. F.

others.
The visitors expressed surprise and
admiration at the splendid improve
ments made since the meeting here
two years ago, and particularly for the
substantial, well l-arranged and commo-
dious lodge rooms in the new temple.
