REMINDER OF FUSION RULE.
Inquiries in Regard to State Bonds Issued For
Construction of A. &N.C.RR.

State Treasurer Lacy yesterday re-
ceived a reminder of the days of Radi-
cal rule just after the war. II was a
letter from a New York law firm making
inquiries in regard to a number of
special tax bonds issued by the
State of North Carolina during recon-
struction days and signed by w. w
Holden, Governor, and ID. A. Jenkins
Public Treasurer
The bonds are owned by q client Of
the lawyers making the injuries ana
the letter adds: I'VE are advised that
the Federal courts of your State have
sustained the validity OF these bonds
and we desire to know what provision
has been made by the State for their
payment or redemption"
There are six Of the bonds-fye Of
them were issued for the construction
of the Western North Carolina Railroad
and the sixth is a Chatham Railroad
bond. All of them declare on their face
that special tax on all taxable propar-
~ of the State is levied under the act
authorizing the issue to pay the annual
interest
All such bonds have been repudiated
as unconstitutional and the courts have
declared that they were issued without
due authority of law They are there
fore worthless and the State has made
no provision for paying them.

speech against the organization of various
classes of Government employees with the
object of increasing their salaries and in
some cases creating civil pension list.
He argued that Government employees
were better paid than similar employees
in private life, and there was no justice
in their constant and persistent demands
for higher salaries
Mr.. Moody said the Postal Commission
developed the fact that instead OF paying
TO the railroads on an average Of 40c per
ton per mile, for carrying the mails, as
the Postoffice Department had led the
country 10 believe the actual cost aver
aged about 1914 cents per ton per mile.
From the investigation he had made, Mr.
Moody said If he were compelled to guess
he should say that the express business
was more profitable to the railroads than
carrying the mails, that passenger busi-
ness was less profitable than either, and
that the most profitable of all TO the
railroads was carrying freight.
AT $50 o'clock the committee rose and

CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb 5.-The Senate today
passed the District of Columbia Appro-
priation Bill, and partially considered the
bill making appropriations for the sup
port of the West Point Military Academy
The Ship Subsidy Bill was formally laid
aside and superseded as the unfinished
business.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Hanna,
SpOOner and Jones, OF Arkansas, members
of the Joint Committee on Inauguration,
and Messrs. Chandler and Caffery as tel
iers of the vote for President and Vice
President when the electoral vote is
counted
Mr.. Teller called up and spoke upon his
resolution calling upon the Secretary of
War for information concerning the re-
ports OF the deportation of George T. Rice,
editor of a Manila newspaper to the
United States Mr.. Teller said he did not
know whether Rice's paper had been sup
pressed, but he had been credibly in
formed that four newspapers had been
suppressed in Luzon by the military au-
thorities
Mr.. Teller spoke of the proceeding as
ore Of Importance ts-all, fer Mr.. Rice was
4 citizen of the United States and an
oiIense against him was an offense against
every other citizen of this country He
said il was no wonder that Mr.. Rice was
defiant, knowing no law TO justify his
expulsion.
MIR. Teller's resolution was agreed to
and the District OF Columbia Appropria-
tion Bill was taken uu
At ] o'clock the Ship Subsidy Bill was
laid before the Senate as the unfinished
business. Mr.. Allison asked that the Sub
sidy Bill be laid aside temporarily.
Mr.. Jones tArk.) objected He said the
effect OF granting the request would be to
continue the Subsidy Bill as the unfnish-
ed business. and did not believe this
should be done in view Of the condition
OF the Senates business.
If the appropriation bills should fail
their failure. he said, would be due to
keeping the Subsidy Bill pending, and he
thought the country should understand
the disposition to set aside everything
for that measure. He referred to the
talk of an extra session of Congress, say
ing that it was due to the evident de-
termination to keep the Subsidy Bill to
the front 10 the exclusion of all other
measures.
The District of Columbia Bill was taken
up and passed at 5 o'clock. The Military
Academy Bill was then taken up.
All the amendments suggested by the
Committee on Military Affairs, including
that prohibiting hazing, We're agreed to.
Mr.. Foraker then offered an amendment
providing for the appointment of four
cadets from Porto Rico. and Mr. Allen
an amendment requiring cadets upon en-
tering West Point to take an oath not to
engage in hazing, but without acting
upon either, the Senate at G:1O O'Clock
adjourned
