The Senate proceedings yesterday We're
begun with a vigorous and earnest prayer
by Rev. A. w. Curtis.
The preacher did not confne himself
to general ~pleadings, but made specific
requests in his prayer. He prayed that
the legislators be guided by their con-
science, and that mo trickery or jobbery
should be found in any of the laws.
Later on he said: May this be the jub-
lice year for North Carolina in which
the demon of intemperance Will be ban
lshed by legislation" In the invocation
was an earnest plea that God might SO
act on the law makers that d rcforma-
tory should be established.
Senator McBryde, of Robson, intro
duced a bill in which he asks that the
Pension Board Of Robson consist Of
three Confederate soldiers who saw act
i've service. He wants these to receive
the same pay as the county commission
ers and not to hold meetings more han
four times in one year.
Senator Pollock, of Lenoir, was q Con-
fcdcrate soldier. and is with them heart
. and soul. He believes they deserve the
best that is going, and yesterday he in
troduced a bill in their behalf, and in
behalf of their widows.
With regard to the pensions going to
widows the present law only gives this
to such as were married on or before
April 1st., 1865. DR.. Pollock sees a hard
ship in this and proposes to give the wild
oWs ten years OF grace, by moving the
Emit of marriage up to 1875.
And moro than this the bill speaks for.
1t asks that the amount to be appropri-
ated to the old Confederates be increas-
ed from the S2G0, 600 of last year TO $780,
eco this year.
Senator Henderson is looking out for
the health of those VINO abide in the
capitol. He yesterday introduced a bill
for the ventilation and heat of the
building, and asks that a sum not OK
ceeding 81, 800 be appropriated for the
work to be expended under the direction
of the Board of Public Buildings. He
said that dn architect had informed him
that the work could be done for less than
a thousand dollars.
Senator Brown said that unless the
matter was urgent he preferred it to
80 to the Committee on Appropriations.
Senator Henderson thought it was ur-
gent as It concerned the health of the
members and a viva voce vote being an
nounced as against him called for a di-
vision. lie lost by II to 10 and the bill
went to the Committee on Appropria-
lions.
Senator Goodwin introduced a bill for
the appointing of Justices of the Peace
in .Harnett county,, the term of the pres
ent officers expiring on the 18th. The bill
passed its final reading and was ordered
.ongrossed and sent to the House. where
1t will in all probability soon be made
a law.

VIII Sized Their Last Drop of Blood
ia VIII Back the ~Isthmus.

NEW YORK, Nov. H.-Cabling from
Panama the correspondent of the Herald
says direct communication has been re-
established with Bogota, capital of Colom-
bia. He forwards the following dispatch
sent from that city under date Of Nov. 10:
Acting President George Holguin tel
egraphs to-day that Colombia will never
recognize the independence of Panama. My
government will exhaust it's last drop Of
blood ana its last cent in putting down the
rebellion he said. II wish to make the
announcement 10 the world that we will
not submit to isthmian independence"
Gen. Raphael Reyes, who has been ap-
pointed generalissimo in command of
Colombia's fighting force and who left to-
day for the coast, has a large and WELL
behind a force of 10000 men ready for any
emergency. All departments and parties
have promised unconditional supper and
financial aid TO the government. The people
are furious over the revolution.
Bogotal continues in a state Of siege, but
the United States legation is well pro-
tected. 1t Is asserted in Bogota that the
governm mt declares that IL has assurances
from the interior provinces of Panama that
they are not In sympathy with the rebellion
and can be relied upon to assist In putting
down the rebellion. The Colombian govern
ment and the people are satisfied that
patriotic Sentiments will prevail and before
long the isthmus will realize the error of
its course and will return to the mother
country before Colombian blood shall flow

OPPOSED TO A SUBSIDY.
New Albany Business Men Object to .
Tax of 2 Per Cent.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW ALBANY, Ind. Nov. H.-By o vote
Of two to one last night the Commercial
Club resolved that New Albany township
ought not to vote the 2 per cent. subsidy
asked for by the Louisville & Nashville
and Southern Indiana Traction Company to
assist in building its proposed line between
this city and Corydon. The. subsidy will
amount to over s2O6.0 900 and an election has
been ordered to be held on Dec. 10 by the
County Commissioners. The meeting was
largely attended by representative business
men and manufacturers Of the city and
acrimonious speeches were made I'M accu-
sations made of shady transactions relative
to suppressing comment on the election in
the newspapers. Most of the speeches were
in opposition to the voting of the subsidy.
A committee of five. composed of Newland
i. De Paw, John 5. Mcdonald, David F..
Bowman, w. A. Mclean and Peter Klerner,
was appointed to let the citizens understand
the feeling of the club and to organize to
fight against the subsidy. The committee
will suggest the names OF property holders
to be appointed as members Of the boards
which will serve at the various polling
places on election day. The subsidy propo-
sition has aroused the property holders
and 1t is probable a public mass meeting
will be called.

JAPAN NOT SATISFIED.
Russia Pursuing Dilatory Tactics In
Manchurian Negotiations.

PEKING, Nov. 14.-It was learned to-day
from a trustworthy source that Japan is
dissatisfied with the progress of the nego-
tons between that country and Russia.
The japanese Parliament meets Dec. 5 and
the government of Japan desires to be able
to report that 1t has reached an agreement
with Russia, as otherwise the opposition
party is certain to attack the Ministry yio-
lently. demand war with Russia and per-
haps infiame public sentiment to the war
point. 1t is pointed out that the negotia-
tons have dragged recently, especially
while the Car and his foreign minister,
Count Lamsdorf, were absent from Russia,
Baron de RoSen, the Russian minister at
Toxic, representing that nothing definite
could be arranged while they were away.
The Japanese claim that the Russian tao
tics have been dilatory throughout. They
point out that Japan first preached the SUBJ
ject of the Manchurian convention, and
that when Russia did not fulfill her pledge
to evacuate the second province of Man.
churia Russia suggested that negotiations
be deferred until NJ. Lessar, the Russian
minister to China, who was on leave of alb
sence, returned to Picking. Then Japan re-
newed her overtures and Russia proposed a
further delay until the Russian war minis
ter, General Kuropatkin, had returned from
his visit to Japan. The Japanese conse-
Quently express the opinion that the object
of Russian policy has been to gain time to
reinforce the army and navy of Russia in
the far East so that she might be prepared
for a possible war.

received with ceremony unusual even in the
case of crowned heads. At Portsmouth all

will greet them at the railroad station.
At Windsor Castle the apartments last oc-
cupied by Emperor William in 1898 will be

Helena. State ~banquets and shooting In the
forest will comprise the daily programme
for the entertainment of the visitors, ex-

Foreign Secretary Lansdowne, especially
in relation TO Somaliland and Abyssiuia,
and 1t Is just possible that another arbi-
tration treaty, similar to the Anglo-French
treaty, may result. Diplomatic circles,
however, do not attach much significance
10 the visit, which is regarded merely as a
return for King Edwards visit to Rome.
If any influence at all is likely 10 be ex-
erted on European relations, it is said that
Ii will be adverse to Russia, as Ii is under
stood here that King Victor Emmanuel is
very bitter against the Car for canceling
his visit to Rome. Queen Helena, however,
has always been a keen friend OF Russia.
The Spectator, commenting on the situ-
alton, says: IF the recent movements to-
ward greater sympathy with France made
first by Great Britain and then by Italy
can be developed in unison, and IL the
agreements arrived at severally can become
general. and so unite all three powers In
bonds Of good will. the people of the United

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-It is stated off,
cially here in relation to the story printed
by an Odessa, Russia, newspaper that the
United States contemplated q military oc-
cupation of Mukden. that at no stage In
the Chinese negotiations has the State De-
partment contemplated a recourse to the
military arm of the United States. The as
surance that had been received here from
Russia quite satisfied the department that.
regardless of any military or political
movements by Russia in Manchuria, there
would not be any attempt made to interfere
with the United States trade i'm that quar-
ter, so that from a trade standpoint ii mat
tiers little whether Russian or Chinese
troops garrison Mukden, the force of the
new treaty between China and the United
States being recognized by Russia.
