cial The Senate Committee on Mill
taly Affairs today favorably reported
Senator Buffers bill 10 make needeo
repairs OF macadamized road from the
city of Newborn to the National Genie
terry. near that city.
The Times of this city. in Its morning
edition. charged that Mr.. Bellamy d1d
not vote on the Porto Kican tarin OH
Yesterday because North Carolina was
largely interested in the tobacco trust.
1t said: MIR. Bellamy, of North caro-
lima. State in which the tobacco trust
has a strong hold, did not vote. This
is an injustice TO Mr.. Bellamy. He an
nounced each roll call that he was
paired and therefore would refrain from
voting. but that if he were not paired
he would vote against the bill, which
he had denounced in n speech on the
floor Of the House as being unconstitu-
tional and in violation of the President S
free trade recommendation.
Congressman Bellamy secured the
passage of his bill introduced through
the House TO authorize Frank Hitch 10

Fishing Creek within the boundary lines
Of Edgecombe county, North Carolina.

the Impact.

Philadelphia, Pa. March 1.-The
steamer Westover, from Jacksonville for
this city was seriously damaged this
morning by collisions with one of the
stone ice piers in the river at Marcus
Hook, II miles below here. The wealth

Westover struck the pier bow first. Her
entire bow from three feet above the
waterline was completely torn away and
her forward compartments filled with
water The collision bulkhead was all
that saved her from sinking. The re-
Spodlsibility for the collision has not yet
been determined. 4
The Westover is commanded by Cap
tain Joy and is q vessel of 30S tons.
Subsequently, the Westover proceeded
up the river under her own steam and
arrived at her dock this afternoon. The
vessel carried a cargo of lumber.
The MISSIONER is ONE of the two steam
er~ that ply between here and Jackson
VIE. She is of steel and was built at
Wilmington, Del. in 1873. She is 100
feet long. breadth % feet and draws
12.4 feet.

In the court house here yesterday .Ietei

Tan gun of the campaign in this sec

that we must vote to abrogate the

ELITE OPERA COMPANY
 BEGINS ITS LAST WEEK
oIivette Was the Attraction, and Was Sung to a Typical LakeYiew Audience
 Large and Appreciative.

The Elite Opera Company began the seventh and last week of their engagement at Lakeview last night with a splendid production of the sparkling opera, "Oli- vette." Of all the operas which the com pany has put on this summer, none have been such a happy combination of com edy, bright sayings and good music as "Olivette."
 The audience last night was applauding their favorite numbers from the opening of the performance till the close.
 It is hard to say which one of the prin- cipes is the favorite in this opera. Mir Lightwood as Coquilicot is fairly bubbling over with fun, and possesses the come dian's greatest gift, that of originality. Miss Scruggs was Olivette, the saucy little schemer, who has one of the most attrac- tive of parts. Her "Sobbing Song was again a feature. Miss Vesey has a queenly stately beauty that just suits the role of the Countess. In her velvet hunting cos tune, particularly, she is pleasing. Her song, Nearest and Dearest is one of the best rendered and most attractive of the summer season.
 MT. Washburn is making quite an envia-  work, and his conception of the profane old sea dog, Capn De Merrimac, is realis- tic and good. He and Dr. McKenney, who was Valentine, in their twin sea dog scene have delightful bit of comedy.
 Valentine, by the way, does good work both in singing and acting. Mir. Lucde was seen at Lakeview after a conspicuous absence of two weeks. As the plotting Duke he has a good opportunity for digni- fled comedy. Miss Gafford was Velotine, Olivette's companion, who likes so to be kissed. MT. Hood was Olivette papa" and MT. Johnson was Mostique, the sailor
 "Olivette' will be played for the last time tonight, and from a social standpoint at least, it will be a success.
 MT and Mrs. Murdoch will give a theatre party to Miss Sandol Milliken, Mrs. Solon Jacobs beautiful guest.
 The Temple Emanuel Chapter of the Hillman Hospital movement will also give a large theatre party, and will have a dance afterward.
 Tomorrow and Thursday nights Mas cot will be presented, "Mikado' Friday and the much-talked-of operatic concert Saturday.

PNEUMATIC TUBES
Postmaster General Has Ordered an In-

The Charity Ball.

The arrangements for the charity ball to be given by the Young Ladies' Auxil- iary to the United Workers of Hilman Hospital, will not be definitely made until for balls seems long ways off, and any work at present would necessarily be done desultory. The date for the ball will be a November one. It will precede the open ing cotillons at any of the club houses, which means that 1t will take place just before Thanksgiving. It will probably be held at the Auditorium. The committees will be appointed before another meeting of the Auxiliary, and the patronesses for the ball will be announced later. The tickets will be placed at five dollars.

Berlin, August 1S.-At the Chinese lega- tion in Berlin the Associated Press corre- spondent was informed today that the Elm press Dowager had declared her intention to lave Pekin and to transfer her court to another city before the allied forces reached the capital. Lu Hai Houan, the Chinese minister here, on learning of this intention, telegraphed to both the Elm press Dowager and the Emperor not to leave Pekin, but quietly await the arrival of the international forces. The German foreign office still believes that the allies have not begun the advance on Pekin, the rainy season being unfavorable.
 The Chinese protest against the landing of troops at Shanghai has been officially received here. foreign office official, discussing it, said today:
 'The protest is here, but who pays any attention to Chinese protests?"
 Great Britain, according to the German foreign office has not given any further declaration of purpose in landing troops at Shanghai than the declaration made by the British consul general to the other foreign consuls there, namely, the protec- ton of life and property.
