CITY GETS HALF
A Compromise Measure
Approved By Committee.
The Dispensary Profits Win Be Divided
Upon the Basis Of a Bill That
Embraces Concessions.

The Senate Chambre was crowded
last night with Raleigh people to hear
the presentation of the Bill that has
passed the House to divide the dis
pensary profits one-third TO the city.
one third to schools. and one-third
to roads.
Senator Foushec presided and three
quarters of an hour was given TO each
side and some of the speeches were
brilliant and frequently applauded.
For the one-third division speeches
were made by ex-senator Herbert T..
Norris, and Representatives Stronach.
SentelIe and Olive. For no change
in the present division speeches were
made by Messrs. ". G. Douglas,
James II. Pou,, A. B. Andrews, Jr.,
Broughton. Ed. Chambers Smith and
Senator Ellington was too unwcll
to be present Senator Jones, Of
Johnston, had by request of Senator
Ellington, brought his request here.
He said: II saw Senator Ellington
and he requested me to state his po-
sition He is unquaifiedly for the bill
as before the Senate but he agrees to
compromise 4-10 for city. 1-3 for
roads and 1-3 for schools. Mr.. Filing
ton regrets he cannot be here to rep
resent his own bill. He requests the
Senate to pass this bill. Senator
Thorne will corroborate this state
ment as to Senator EllinGtons posi-
ton
1t developed that most Of the peo-
pie of the city of Raleigh favored the
present division and the most of the
people of the county outside of Raj
eigh favored the bill as il passed the
House. The advocates for the city
made out very strong case and pre-
scented petitions from a large number
of bushes men. The advocates for the
House bill also made out strong
case and showed that the people in
the country were strongly with them
and argued that it was q fair and
equitable division.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels made brief
speech urging that mutual conces-
sions be made and seconded the sug-
gestion that the division be four
tenths to the city government. three
tenths to roads and three-tenths to
schools. Inasmuch as Raleigh gets
one-third of the school fund, this di-
vision would give to Raleigh one-half
of the money and one-half would go
to the county outside of Raleigh for
rural schools and roads.
| After the discussion, on motion of
Senator Thorne. the committee went
into executive session and discussed
the matter informally After some
discussion they unanimously agreed
to report the bill fayoraby with an
amendment to the effect that the fund
be divided: four-tenths TO the city
government, three-tenths to the roads,
and three-tenths to schools. Under
that division, Raleigh viii get one
half of the money and the county
outside of Raleigh will get one-half.
1t was pretty fight between sin
cere men who pressed their conyic-
lions, and the result is measure that
calls for mutual concessions, and will
be more satisfactory in the whole
county than any other solution of d
veXed question.

FIRE ON THE STEAMER OREGON.
The Passengers Transferred TO the Del
Nortc and the Flames Under Con-
troll
CBy the Associated Press.)

San Francisco, California, February
2S.-Fire broke out in the cargo OF
the steamer Oregon yesterday when
the ship was about fifteen miles south
west of Crescent City on her voyage
from San Francisco to Portland.
There were fifty-six passengers Oh
board the Oregon besides the crew,
but the passengers were safely trans
ferred to the steamer Del Norte and
taken to Crescent City. The Oregon
proceeded to the harbor under her own
steam, the flames having been put UNI
der control
The Oregon left this port Sunday
with a cargo of general merchandise
and passengers. When the steamer
was about twelve miles southwest of
Whale Rock, which is but few miles
off Crescent City. Captain Warner dis
covered that the fire had broken out
in the after freight deck and was rap
idly spreading. He made directly for
Crescent City and attacked the fire in
every manner possible. The steamer
took a decided list and while she was
in that plight Captain Payne. of the
Del Norte, which was lying in the har-
Dor, steamed TO her rescue and trans
ferred the passengers to his vessel.
The Del Norte then entered the har-
Dor at Crescent City, followed by the
burning Oregon.
