A MODERN HOSPITAL

"Povhatan'' Proves a Big Success.

Especial to The Messenser.)
Golsboro. n. c., October 31.-The
cherished hope of the promoters and
supporters of the Emergency hospital
is about to be realized. Ever since
they started out in a small way to af-
ford relief for suffering humanity sew
eral years ago it has been the aim and
ambition of those interested to have
a hospital in G~oldsboro where not only
people without mean could have their
infirmities treated in a scientific man
ner, without cost, but where people
who are to pay their bills could have
the benefits Of the operating table Of
fered them here at home, without in
curing the additional expense of travel
to northern cities. 1t was decided last
night at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the hospital to purchase the
large and spacious residence formerly
occupied by Captain T. W. Slocomb, at
the eastern terminus of Walnut street
and convert into a modern hospital
where patients could find all the com
oho ALI a.
tention usually employed in such in
stitutions. Drs. Il. r. FILLER and Theo.

work, and will have charge Of patients
who onl to the hospital for treatment
without a regular physician They are
both young men with expeN,nce in
hospital work and will have all the
luxuries and equipment necessary. All
the physicians of the city will prac-
tise at the hospital when their services
are. required and the disease or sur
gical treatment that would battle their
skill would be a hopeless case.

BISHOP CONATY
ENTERS DENIAL
Says Bard's Charges Rela-
tive to Distribution of
Indian Funds Are Absurd
NO PROMISE OF SUPPORT
Declares That Informant of
Senator Is Old Offender
Against Catholic Church

LOS ANGELES, Feb. Right Rev.
Thomas w. Conaty, Bishop of this
Roman Catholic diocese, to-day entered
an emphatic denial TO the charges made
yesterday in Washington by United
States Senator Bard that the Roman
Catholic church had endeavored to in
fiuence the Senator's action in the mat
ter of distribution of Indian funds by
the promise of political support.
The charges are absurd" said the
Bishop. In the first place, they cannot
apply TO this district, because we do not
receive any Government funds for use
in the schools. We take care of our
Indians with our own money. The
Catholic church does nothing that is
not open and aboveboard, and the
statement that representative of a
Catholic association promised to carry
certain districts for Senator Bard in
consideration of a continuation of IA
vorable contracts is ridiculously ab-
surd."
The Bishop stated that Scharf, whom
Senator Bard said was his informant
was an old offender against the Catho-
lie church and had caused previous
trouble by false representations regard
ing his connection with Catholic insti-
tutions and influence among Catholics.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l. = Cardinal
Gibbons has sent the following state
ment to the representative Of the Bu-
reau Of Catholic Indian Missions in
this city for presentation to he Sen
ate Committee on Indian Affairs:
BALTIMORE, February 1, 1905.
In view Of certain statements made by Sen.
ator Bard before the Committee on Indian AT.
fairs OF the Senate 1 deem it proper to state
that the Catholic church has no political agent
at Washington or anywhere else; that Profes
sor z. L. Scharff who is referred to in Sen
ato- Bard's statement. is not member of the
Catholic church OF the Bureau OF Catholic
Indian Missions and has never been employed
by the church by the Catholic Indian Bu-
reau IN any way whatsoever.

TO LOWER DocKAGE FEES.
Department Orders Change Made at
BremertOn Yard.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Assistant
Secretary Darling of the Navy had a
brief conference with the President to-
day, bringing to his attention some de-
partmental matters. A few weeks ago
the Boston Steamship Company, which
operates a line of steamships between
the Pacific Coast and the Philippine
Islands, complained to the Navy De-
partment and to the President that the
charges of the Bremerton naval sta
ton, on Puget Sound, for the dockage
of ships were excessive The statement
was made that the ships could be dock
ed at Esquimalt, British Columbia, for
about one-third of the charges at Bre-
merton. The steamship company de-
sired to have repairs made to one of its
big vessels, the Shawmut, at the Amer
lean yard, but objection to the high
charges was made.
After considering the charges Assist
ant Secretary Darling has decided to
order a reduction of the charge to less
than so per cent of the old rates for
ships of or more than 1000 tons This
concession, it is believed, will be satis-
factory to the vessel owners.

BRISK DEBATE
ON STATEHOOD
Teller and Dillingham; Come
Forward With Conflicting
Views Before the Senate
MANY BILLS PASSED
Committee Named to Confer
Z With the House on the
Measure Affecting Miles

WASHINGTON, Feb. clark Of
Montana, Dillingham; and Teller to-day
continued the discussion of the joint
statehood bill. Dillingham; supporting
the measure as it stands and the othsr
two Senators contending for amend
ments and the right of the four Terri
tories to be admitted as so many States.
In his reply to Dillingham;, Teller
charged that Vermont had retrograded,
and quoted figures to show that there
had been a falling off in the value and
number of farms in that State. Dilling-
ham replied that this condition was due
to consolidation of some of the farms.
Dillingham; supported the proposition
for the consolidation of the four Terri
tories into two States, aatagonizing all
the amendments for greater number
of States. He contended that conditions
in Arizona and New Mexico were not
such as to justify separate statehood.
Teller, replying to Dillingham;, said
that the people of Arizona and New
Mexico had not progressed as rapidly
as they would have done under State
form of government. He said that ac-
cording to the statistical abstract the
par value of farms in Vermont, Dill
lingham's State, had decreased between
1890 and 1900 to the extent Of $50, 900, 600.
Proctor reported the agricultural ap-
preparation bill and gave notice that
tomorrow he would ask to have 1t con-
sidered. The following bills were
passed:
Amending the land laws so as to per-
NIT settlers on the public lands to make
transfers for public uses before COM
pleting title.
Amending existing laws so as to re-
quire captains of passenger vessels to
supply information regarding the age
and sex of immigrants, in accordance
NTH the requirements of the Secretary
sof Commerce and Labor.
Establishing a light and fog signal
station at Point Cabrillo, Cal.
The Senate to-day resolved to insist
upon it's amendments to the army ap-
preparation bill, and Proctor, Scott and
CockrelI were appointed conferees on
the part of the Senate. The principal
item in dispute is that relating to the
assignment of retired army officers to
duty with State militia
