Il claim that the result Of your thus

three weeks prior TO the election the
lieutenant governor Of North Carolina,
Francis ID. Winston, personally visited
the several counties in the Eighth Con-
gressional district and personally in
structed the registrars OF election,
all of whom were Democrats. to tran
scribe their registration books contain

of each and every precinct in The re-
spective counties.
Mentions Governor Glenn.
Again, I claim. and shall prove, that
prior tC the election an unlawful and
corrupt agreement was made and en-
tered into by and between yourself,
Governor Glenn, Of North Carolina, and
the American Book Company, you being
at that time the attorney and represent
ative of the said American Book Com

that Governor Glenn was to recommend

was crowded fer the opening day, as
it always is on such occasions. Speaker
Cannon at one end of the building
fairly divided interest with Vice Presi-
dent Fairbank at the other. The gal
leries were packed, the diplomatic
gallery especially, and the crowd of
distinguished visitors entirely over
flowing the private galleries and
nearly filled the seats usually design
ed to accumulate the people. Of
course the first days session was pro-
ductive of nothing in particular, this
day never is. In fact the whole of
the time between now and Christmas
will, III all probability, be devoted
largely to organizing the two houses
and getting things in running order
before the Christmas recess. The
rumored change that was to come
about with Senator Platt's resigna-
ton did not materlize, and the quiet
cid gentleman was on hand in his
Seat as usual Senator Allison was
not there, and his absence created
some comment, but it IS said not to
be due to serious ill health but is
simply because his physicians have
advised him to take things easy at the
start so he will not show up until
after Christmas, when the big appro-
prlation bills, over whose destinies he
presides, will have advanced far
enough to warrant his personal atten-
ton.
1t is not likely that any measures
except the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bills. will reach
the Senate before the Holidays eIg
over.

FORMER STAR IN
BASE BALL HERE
Fred SChdetZke Visits Water

Texas League.

Fred Schaetzke, who is spending
the winter with his folks in M1lwau-
kee spent Thanksgiving in the city and
remained over to attend the dance
in the evening Mr. Schaetzke will
be remembered as one of the old stars
in the Watertown base ball team.
leaving here five years ago, when
base ball enthusiasm was at its height
and Watertown had team that rank
ed among the highest with the amateur
teams Of the north west. During the
season recently ended, Schaetzke
played wi n one of the Teaxs League
teams and has contract to play there
next season. The gentleman has been
in league company several times and
has a good reputation in base ball
circles. While in WATERFOWL, he
played second base and was the star
player. being heavy and sure batter.
The visit of Schaetzke was much en-
foyed by his many local friends.

Great Ellery Band.

The Great Ellery Band which is
soon coming to this city tuesday eve
ming Dec 18th, at the Turner opera
house for concert recently filled an
engagement of twelve weeks at the
famous Coliseum Garden in Chicago.
It's concerts there were attended by
all the shining lights of literature,
art and music that the Windy City
contains and among them was Opie
Read, the renowned author and jour-
nalist. Mr.. Read scarcely missed a
single evening and was leader in
the applause and cheers that invariably
followed the magnificent rendition by
the band of some great musical mas
terpiece. On the last night Of the
season, the author approached Mr..
Ellery and handed him a letter ex-
pressive of his sentiments about the
Ellery band. The following is the
exact wording Of this letter;
every lover of music in it's
finest expression regrets the closing
of your season at the Coliseum. Chica-
go is lover of music; it Is the only
city in America that has erected
temple as the home of an orchestra.
But it was not till we knew that we
felt the most thrilling climax of music.
Surely the Ellery Band is without
rival. 1t stands magnifcently alone .

SECRETARY SHAW'S PLANS.

None of the speculation over Secre-
tary Shaw's plans has yet developed
just what that gentleman will do on
his retirement from the Cabinet. One
of the most seriously discussed berths
for him has been position on one
of the great financial Institutions in
New York. This may be his course
but at the same time Secretary Shaw's
political aspirations are not to be
entirely neglected. He still con-
siders himself in the running for
Presidency, and while he would per-
haps be ranked as a third choice, his
nomination is none the less posi-
billy. To 90 into business life IN
New York wbould take him out of the
field of politics and it is not believed
he contemplated such step just now.
The outcome of the recent cam
paign in Iowa was rather blow
tc his hopes, but it is said by some
that on retiring from the Cabinet he
will in all probability go to his home
in that state and nurse his POLITICAL
boom in the belief that lightning may
strike in his neighborhood.

BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS.

There is a great deal of speculation
over the legislation that Congress will
be able to get through in the brief
time allowed it during short session.
1t is generally agreed that the Ship
Subsidy bill be passed. There is
hope also in great many quarters
that the Speaker will consent to the
passage of River Harbor Appropria-
ton Bill. This will mean picking
for nearly every congressional district
IN the country. Such bill is usually
held back till toward the end of
session, when the Speaker Can always
use it judiciuusly to bring reluctant
members into line. Representatives
Burton, Of Ohio, Chairman of the
River and Harbor Committee, is nat
urally much interested in the meas
ure and has assured the River and
Harbor Congress, which met here last
Autumn that he would do all in his
power to see bill passed at this
session. The plan of the River and
Harbor Congress is for widespread
and systematic scheme of river and
harbor improvement, which would
involve and outlay of about $50, 000,
600 annually, for several years to
come. This is large amount, but
it is held that reasonably certain
liked appropriation work can be carried
on more economically and effectively
than when it is left to guess work
whether or not any money will be
available to complete projects already
under way.
There are a number of other meas
ures of considerable Importance which
will probably furnish a basis for a
great deal Of talk. These include
reform currency legislation, the in
heritance tax bill and the PHILIPPINE
tariff. All of them very good meas
ures, but which are not likely to STAND
much during the brief three months
session.
