LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Incidents of More or Less Interest
That Have Occurred DUNG the
Week.
The house fixed the Winthrop appro-
priation at s50.OOO, and the senate, on
Thursday, raised the amount to $4,000.
In the house, the appropriation for
pensions was fixed at 100000. The SEN
ate committee recommended $15O,OOO;
after considerable debate, the house
figures were agreed to. Senator Brlce
contended that if there ever was time
when 100000 was needed, that time Is
now.
The bill to pay the expenses OF the
state troops to Charleston today had a
rough time of it in the senate. AS the
bill came from the house, 1t carried
$4,000. The senators discussed the mat
ter with much earnestness, and finally
killed it. This was on Tuesday. On
Wednesday, the matter came up again
in the shape Of an amendment to the
appropriation bill carrying $1,995 for
the purposes Of the troops. This
amendment carried, and the expenses

THE sensational speech that Repres'
entative Wheeler, Of Kentucky, deliv'
cred in. the house, on Friday Of last
week, with reference to the alleged
tlunkeyism and toadyism of the admin.
istration toward Great Britain and
Germany, in connection with the cor.
onation and the approaching visit Of
Prince Henry, has stirred up not lit
| tie reputation on the part of Demo.
Gratis and others. On Tuesday, Rep
resentatives Robinson. Of Indiana, and
Thayer, Of Massachusetts,, both Demo
Gratis, disclaimed any sympathy with
Wheeler's utterances. Representative
Talbert, Of South Carolina, insisted or
taking his share of Wheeler's speech
and said that "others who believe as
Wheeler does, should say so, and not
be Internal towards about It," During
Wednesday, Mr.. Boutell, Republican OF
Illinois, made a humorous speech on
the same subject during the course OF
which he read a letter from Thomas

a coat Of arms for himself, and another
in which that stateman said he would
rather depend upon Great Britain
Athan upon any other country or than
none" He also told of the appearance
of Clifton r. Breckenridge as the
American ambassador at the Russian
court in full court costume, etc. and
cited many historical facts to show
that there is nothing new with regard
to American attitude to the functions

verted yacht Gloucester. He says that
while Sampson was technically In COM
mand, neither of the admirals were
actually in command, and that the
whole fight was captains affair. He
says that the Brooklyn's "loop" was an
error, which fortunately did no special
harm, except to cause both the Brook
lyn and the Texas to lose position.
After the loop was taken, however, Ad-
miral Schley handled the Brooklyn
wonderfully and we'll. He repudiates
the suggestion of cowardice on the part
of either Schley or Sampson, and de-
plores the whole controversy as unnec-
essary and uncalled for. He thinks
that, upon the whole, the court OF In
quiry did substantial justice, and con-
cludes with the hope that there Will be
no further agitation of the controversy

AFTER all, it appears that the gene
raj assembly does not propose to allow
itself to be deprived Of the luxury of
extending the time in which taxes may
be paid without penalty. The senate
has agreed to the resolution that adds
another month and makes April the
final day. That the governor will sign
it is to be taken as a matter of course;
but it makes little difference now so
far as this county is concerned. The
first extension did about all the harm
that could be done under the circum-
stances.
