WAKE SUPERIOR COURT.
Yesterday Consumed in Hearing the
Evidence i'm railroad Suit.

Judge Walter II. Neal convened
court yesterday morning at 9:30
o'clock. after which the noted case OF
Cunningham and Heushaw against the
Seaboard Air Line Railroad was re-
sumed. The suit consumed the entire
day, many witnesses for the plaintiffs
being examined. There are strong
lawyers on both sides of the case and
it will no doubt take nearly. if not all
the entire week. to examine all the wit

Judge Neal presides with dignity and
ease, and wherever he goes his friends
are legion.
There are not many spectators at

Committee Met Yesterday Afternoon
But Took No Action. Another Meet
ing This Morning, But 1t is
Thought That Negotiations
Are Off.

The joint bond committee of the
Legislature met again yesterday after
noon to consider what was practically
the offer of settlement made by
Mcssrs. Busbee and Ricaud on Mon
day.
AS was exclusively stated in the
News and Observer. this offer was
about two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, or the principal of the bonds
held by Messrs. Schafer.
Yesterday there was telephonv
message communicated to the attor-
neys, Offering IS per cent. of the bonds

This offer was declined by MeSSrS.

The terms set forth in the letter which
is hereto Subioincd.
The committee is to meet again this
morning and was in session yesterday
afternoon. The members continue TO
treat the proceedings of the commits
tee as secrets of State and there were
no matters to be obtained us TO the
proceedings last night. II was stated
that, while q counter proposition had
been discussed, nothing had been done
or decided upon in that respect. and it
was net likely that anything would be
done The meeting at this morning $
session Of the committee Will therefore
doubtless decide the fate of the bond
question as far as the present sitting OF
the Legislature is concerned. both par
ties having shot their bolts and ap-
parently having failed by some thous-

common mind necessary TO the max

1t was suggested at the Mondays
meeting that even il an agreement was
reached the bill providing for new

days to be enacted into law, as it would
require three readings on three sep

ELECTRIC LINE BILL KILLED.
House Railroads Committee Refuses
TO Permit Southern TO Tear Up
"Uniycrsity Road"

The House Railroads Committee
yesterday afternoon postponed indefi-
nitely any action ON the proposition
to permit the Southern Railroad to
tear up the track of The University
line upon the completion and opera
ton for ninety days OF an electric
road from Durham to and from the
town of Chapel Hill.
The bill was championed by Mr.
Wright. Of Durham, who proposes to
head the company for the establish
mcnt OF the electric road. and by
Mr.. BigSs, representative from Dur
ham county.
There were two petitions before the
committee. that signed by citizens of
Chapel Hill numbering sixty names
and that by residents along the line
of the present road and from other
portions OF the county exceeding two
hundred.
Mr.. Gattis. OF Hilsboro. spoke
against the passage of the measure
as did Mr.. Alex. Webb, of Raleigh.
representing General Iioke who owns
and established the iron mine meas
Chapel Hill ana who contributed So
600 towards the construction of the
road.
The decision to postpone action. in
the absence of q quorum Of the COM
mittec. was unanimously agreed to.
1t IS question of doubt. from y
legal standpoint, as to whether the
Southern road has or has not the
right TO discontinue the traffic of lie
road and TO tear up the track with
out legislative enactIaent. 1t was stated
in the committee meeting yesterday
that the road was being run at q
loss Of from two TO three thousand
dollars annually and that it was en-
tirely bankrupt, there being judgments
against it for over sixty thousand dol
lars docketcd in the court of Chatham
county, at pittsboro.

What victory Means.

The reputation of Parker and Par
kerfsm makes it certain that the Phil
ippines will not be abandoned, but that
the good work done there shall be car
ried out to its fulfllment. The ma
lives will be educated and taught to
govern themselves, and they will have
that measure of independence which
they shall be capable Of approaching.
Again, the victory means that there
will be no violent upheaval of business
through radical slashing at the tariff.
There will be changes in the sched-
ules as needed, for no one holds to the
theory that all schedules are sacred.
But when revision comes it will be In
the hands Of men who believe in the
principle Of protection, not that it is
a robbery Of the many to enrich the
few.
Finally, the victory means that we
shall stand pat.-Philadelplha Inquirer.

CONGRESS

Administration Has an Elective Ma.
jority In Both Houses.
The party division in the present
house of representatives is as follows:
Republicans, 2O7; Democrats, 175; la
Dor members, 2; Republican majority,
30.
The Republican majority in the next
house will be more than, double the
majority in the present one. Concern
ing the political complexion Of the next
senate at no time has there been doubt.
For at least two years the Republican
party will be in control Of all branches
Of the lawmaking power.
The theory was exploited during the
campaign that it might be well for the
country to have responsibility divided.
The common Of the country has
properly rejected this appeal. From all
points of view it is infinitely better to
have unity. The interests of the nation
inevitably suffer when the two houses
are jockeying for partisan advantage,
with each seeking to lay the blame on
the other for faults Of commission and
omission. The people, having given
the administration an effective MAORI
ty in both houses Of congress, may look
to it for results.
Not the least among the pleasures
caused by Republican control of the
house Is the assurance that Joseph G.
! Cannon will be reelected speaker

A Backward Reorganization.

A Backward Reorganization.
Beyond all is the unprecedented fact
that there is not room enough in the
country for two parties appealing to
the same or a Wall street quality Of
conservatism. If that is to be the
programme the people will choose the
party most closely identified with 1t.
Just as In 1852, when the Wing party
went over essentially to the Demo-
cratic position in regard to slavery, the
people chose for a proslavery party
the one whose record best proved its
devotion and with such emphasis as to
wipe out the other party.
Democratic reorganization had In
deed become necessary, but q reor-
eanizaton forward and not backward,
and 1t was q backward reorganization

ON THE isTHMus TO STAY.
Right. Of the United state. In p.na-

Rights Of the United States In Pans.
mn Are Clearly Defined.
When an agitation hostile to Ameri-
can interests in Panama was inaugu-
rated a few weeks ago the New York,
Bennington, Boston and Marblehead
Of the United States Pacific squadron
were ordered to Panama. On their ar
rival marines landed and occupied the
several railway depots. This is in &C.
cordance with the treaty signed in No
vember, 1903, and ratified in February
of this year. says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Under that treaty the United States
is sovereign in the canal zone and has
the right to employ, ut the discretion
Of the president, it's land and naval
forces for the preservation Of order
and the protection Of canal, railways
and ships. The promptness with which
the government acted is notice to all
Adventures and disturbers of the
peace that there is to be no more law
lessness on the isthmus.
Undoubtedly there r in Panama
many men engaged in intrigue against
the United States and the present Pan
anna government. These intrigues are
not based on popular discomfort, but
on desire to embarrass the government
In the construction Of the canal and to
profit through complications incident
to delay.
Involved in these intrigues are many
politicians and spectators represent
ing isthmian and foreign interests af-
ed States on the isthmus. Possibly
these politicians and spectators aim
ed to promote an insurrection about
the time of the presidential election
in this country with purpose to en-
barrass the administration responsible
for the Panama canal treaty. If so,
they misjudged the American people
and the government.
There never was in any international
compact a clearer definition of the
rights and powers and privileges of
the United States on the isthmus. Dis
turbers or conspirators are to deal not
with a weak government at Panama,
but with the strong government at
Washington. Adventures plotting dis
order and rebellion that they may loot
the treasury or overthrow an admins
tration are to be restrained by the
military and naval forces Of the Unit
ed States. The quicker the masters
Of intrigue on the isthmus learn this
the better for all concerned.
The independence Of Penama cannot
be subverted. The power Of the Unit
ed States on the isthmus cannot be
weakened or overthrown. The con-
struction of the canal cannot be delay
ed. No international complications to
the disadvantage of the United States
are possible.
The control Of the isthmus is in our
hands, and it will remain there. This
Is what the presence Of the Pacific
squadron at Panama and the landing
Of marines mean. We are on the 18TH
mus to stay and to build the canal.
