Austing, March as.-The senate
passed house concurrent resolution
providing for sine die adjournment
April !. and eiinehed it By tabling q
motion to reconsider. This means thar
the general appropriation bill viii
hardly be passed at this session. and
that 1t Is almost certain there will be
. special session.
From this time forward both branch
es of the legislature probably will
work under high pressure. crowding
measures through without deycting
much time to their consideration.
There are thirteen legislative days
left.
The house for the second time kill
ed the joint resolution providing for
the submission of a constitutional
amendment To extend the terms of
trustees of public schools, state edu-
cational institutions and elemosynary
institutions. Hhis was a platform de-
mand, but II lacked a few votes of
getting the necessary two-thirds.
The house spent the greater portion
of Tuesday afternoon in listening to
the fight between Mr.. Schluter OF Ma
rion county and Mr. Blalock of Har-
rison county as to whether Harrison
county should be exempt from the
operation of the fish protective law
1t was the same fight which they made
two years ago. II arise because of the
fact that Caddo lake lies between the
two counties mentioned. II went over.
During the consideration of the bill
Mr.. Napier created some amusement
by making a speech in which he de
clared that the bill was the most i'm
portant measure before the legisla-
ture. overshadowing the appropriation
bill. which the house had refused to
consider. as well as the anti trust ;ser
ger and other administration meas
ures.
Nearly every member of the legisla-
ture wore shamrocks Tuesday in hon

iron saint.

with Cuban postal frauds.
With reference to the cnarge that
Governor General Wood had exceeded
his authority in giving instructions to
the courts, Major Rathbone said that
the general had pursued this course in
the Cuban postal case when he (Rath-
bone) was under prosecution. This
was, he said, in violation of article SS7
of the penal code OF Cuba and in a
manner prejudicial to the rights end
interests Of those unter trial.

such disturbance there that she was

NO RECIPROCITY LEGISLATION.

Aldrich Makes Significant Remarks in
Discussion Of Cuban Bill.
The Cuban reciprocity bill passed by
the house, was taken up in the senate
Friday and elected the first real dis
cussion in that body this session. 1t
brought two significant declarations.
One Of these had immediate bearing
upon the work Of the extra session,
the other was broader and more i'm
portant in it's scope. This was the
virtual acknowledgment by Senator
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, that no recip.
rocfty legislation may ever be expect
ed from the republican party as it is
now represented in the senate, despite
the declarations in the republican plat
forms and those Of the republican ma.
ley.

sEGAN LEAVES CENTRAL.
Popular President of Great Railway
System Gets Leave Of Absence,
Report Says is Permanent.

According to dispatch sent out
from Savannah, President John M.
Egan, of the Central of Georgia rail-
way, has rendered his resignation and
goes to New York on two weeks
leave of absence. Thereafter his con-
nection with the Central will termi'
nate.
This action of Mr.. Egan will come
as a tremendous surprise. Wherever
the Central system touches there will
be regret at his action. At the last
annual meeting of the Central railway
an announcement was authorized that
the breach that had existed between
President Egan and Major J. F. Han
son, of Macon, chairman of the board,
had been healed and that all the diff
ferences that had obtained between
these two officials had been adjusted.
For this rason, too, the surprise in
the announcement of Mr.. Egan's resig-
nation will be the greater.
It has long been known that the re-
lations between President Egan and
Major Hanson were not pleasant OIL
cially.
Major Hanson replied Sunday night
in response to an inquiry by the Asso-
ciated Press as TO the resignation:
"Mr. Egan has applied for leave OF
absence and it has been granted
President Egan was seen by a press
representative, but he would not con-
firm the statement that he had re-
signed. He merely said that he had
been granted two weeks leave OF ab'
sence and that he was leaving tor
New York. He did not know just
where he will spend his holiday, he
declared.
President Egan has been with the
Central of Georgia since 1896, when
he came to the road in the capacity OF
vice president. He was also vice pres.
ident of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany.
Upon the death Of the late H. M.
Conner he was made president Of the
Central, and subsequently president of
the Ocean Steamship Company. In
course of time the difference between
himself and Major Hanson developed,
however, and Major Hanson was final
ly elected chairman of the Board Of
the Central, and also president of the
Ocean Steamship Company, which is
closely allied. The president of the
railroad had to report to the chairman
of the board.

OPPOSITION TO CUBAN BILL.

The opposition to the Cuban bill
was heard in the house and in vigo-

were the speeches of Mr.. Grosven-
or, of Ohio, who opened the discussion
in advocacy of the bill, and Of Mr..
Fordney (rspublican), of Michigan,
who emphatically expressed his disap-
proval Of the measure. Among others
who spoke in opposition to the bill
were Messrs. Sharroth, Colorado; Bur

Ex-President Unwittinsiy Violates New
Game Law Of Virginia.
Former President Grover Cleveland
who is now cunning on the preserves
of the Back Bay Gun Club, in Princess
Anne county, Va, has SO far had such
poor luck that not enough game has
been bagged to send Mrs. Cleveland
her usual box preceding the ex-prest
dents homecoming.
It has developed that Mr.. Cleveland
and the nonresident members of his
party have laid themselves liable to
arrest and a considerable fine for vic.
lating the new game law of Virginia.
which requires every NONRESIDENT to
get a ten-dollar license before he
shoots game in the state. None of
the Cleveland party obeyed this law.

Wilson to Be Reappointed.


Despite violent opposition of many
Of the white people of Florence, says
Washington dispatch, President
Roosevelt will renominate Joshua E.
Wilson, colored, for postmaster at that
place.
Wilson is presiding elder of the Flor
ence district of the South Carolina con-
ference of the African Methodist Epis-
copal church and was appointed post
master four years ago by Presiden:
Mckinley under previous republican
administration. Wilson served four
years as postmaster at Florence; He
is nearly white, was never a slave, and
the popularity about his family is that
although of negro blood, they owned
and worked slaves themselves. There
is said to be no objection to renomina'
ton only on color lines.
The papers filed at the postofice de-
partment and with the president in De-
half of Wilson'S denomination declare
that he is far above the ordinary in
manners and education, and Is a good
type of the best development Of the
negro race; that he has the respect
and confidence of the people Of all par
ties of his town, and that, while a re-
publican, he is not a partisan ano
makes no scramble for Office. 1t is de-
clared that there is on file with his ap'
plication a petition requesting his ap'
pointment signed by the secretary OF
the state board Of health, who resides
in Florence, by sixty leading business
and professional men of the city, in
cluding the best men there, in addition
to seventy-five white employees OF the
shops of the Atlantic Coast Line road
besides the political Endorsement OF
the influential men of his own party
Under the circumstances the president
feels justified in deciding to renomt
nate Wilson, although many OF the
democrats who have signed the peti
ton declare that their doing so was
merely a testimonial to the personal
character and worth Of the applicant
and not political recommendation.
