mulgated the doctrine, which is also a
fundamental principal Of the North
Carolina constitution; that the people

that while no one has charged that these
gentlemen were pledged to the saloon
interest, ii they had Teen bound by an
oath ana had fulfilled their pledge they
could have not pleased the liquor men

yesterday. Meantime. on behalf OF the
Philippine Committee, Mr.. Lodge ac-
cepted Mr.. Hoar's amendment restricting
the sale of public lands in the Philippine
and granting OF franchises.
Mr.. Morgan yielded the floor for Mr..
Wolcott to present conference report
upon the tPostoffice Appropriation Bill.
The conference committee had agreed
upon all points of difference except the
two amendments offered by Mr.. Butler
North Carolina)
The first was a provision appropriating
$50 600 TO make the experiment of estab-
ing repositories or mail boxes in which
mail matter may be placed in towns or
hamlets which do not enjoy the privilege
of free delivery of mail. duplicate keys
to the repositories being held by the resi-
dents OF the villages or hamiets. The
second was the Senate amendment direct
ing the Postmaster General to investigate
the question of establishing postal
telegraph system,
After some discussion by Mr.. Chandler
and Mr.. Butler the report was agreed to-.
The Senate then further insisted upon
the contested amendments and they were
returned to conference.
Mr. Morgan then yielded the floor tenn
porarily to Mr.. Allen tNebraska). After
saying that he was satisfied the Philip
pine amendment and the Cuban amend
ment to the pending bin were uncon-
stitutional Mr. Allen read the alleged
letter of Admiral Sampson opposing APP
pointing warrant officers as ensigns be-
cause they had not enjoyed the social ad-
vantages which Admiral Sampson held a
commissioned officer of the navy should
have enjoyed to properly represent his
country abroad. Mr.. Allen said the Ad-
miral's action proved beyond doubt that
there was a "a snobbish aristocracy in
the navy that is detrimental TO the coun-
try and a disgrace to the country repre-
sented by this officer and other like Of
fcers" Because Gunner Morgan came
from the ranks of the Dlebians, said the
Nebraskan Senator, Admiral Sampson
had taken occasion thus to relegate him
from the lists of advancement.
IF William T. Sampson is the author
of those endorsements, declared Mr..
Alien. with vehemence, ''he is con-
ceited ass. and he ought to be marked
down as such. We are not bringing up
in this country a race OF snobs. If | am
correctly informed there was time when
Sampson was no better than Charles
Morgan, the Gunner.
He came from no better stock am
glad to repeat that We are not raising in
the United States 4 class of brass jeweled
aristoerats. Ii this rank and arrant
coward is TO be believed the time may
never come in this country when poor
boy may attain TO such q position as his
abilities warrant him in holding.
Mr.. Allen concluded:
II want TO say TO Sampson and to his
friends that | am responsible for what
say"
Messrs. Chandler. Teller, Pettigrew and
Stewart sought TO reply TO Mr.. Allen, but
Mr. Morgan declined TO yield. He de-
clared the Cuban amendment was "a
legislative ultmatum."

DEFEND THEIR DECISION
The Oyster Fund They Say Was

II is Pleaded That instead Of viOding the Laws
and the Constitution The Judges Were Com

ance of the writ of mandamus 1t will be
pleaded in excuse for this mandamus how
ever. that il was in violation of neither
the law nor the Constitution; that the
OYSTER Fund. out of which White was
ordered paid, was an appropriation set
aside for payment of the Shell-fish Com
missioner; that the fund was simply in
the Treasurer S hands and trust, and thai

money, was simply compelling a public
servant to discharge his duty by obedience

judges did, by their decisions in the
office holding cases. seek TO destroy
the acts Of the General Assembly and
bring the legislative branch of the gov
ernment into disrepute and contempt. is
OF course denied These decisions are
defended and the answer sets forth at
some length the learning, from Hoke VS..
Henderson down to White VS.. Auditor,
on which it is claimed they were decided
IL will be argued that under former de-
cisions of the court these cases could
not have been decided otherwise without
overruling all precedents.
There is a possibility that the defence
may not put on any testimony, as the
material facts thus far are indisputed.
