How North Carolinians Voted on ths Tariff -Llnney and His Little Bill The Gang That Gathers in I'rltch. ard's Committee Room. Washington, July 25. t have it on good authority that the report sent out from here that C. M. Ber uard would succeed C. B. Avcockas district attorney for Eastern North Carolina, is erroneous?, and that 0.ar J. Spears, of Harnett, would be appointed to that position upon the expiration of Aycockj term of four years, Bernard could get the assistant dis'rict attorneyship 'or the asking and that is doubtless what he and his friends are playing for. Spears is account ed one of the original McKiu'ey m n in the State, and besides filled to the entire "atisfaction of his party the position elector at-large on the McKinley ticket in the last election. There is no distinguishing the fact, however, that Bema d is being strongly urged upon the President by Congressmen Skinner of the First diitiijt, and Li ney, of the St venth. LINNKYAND HIS LITTLE 15 ILL. By the wav, when Mr Lin ney goes upon the hustings again with his bill to reduce the tax on distilbd spirits to 70 cents per gallon he should not fail to tell the people how much support he got on the liepub lican tide of the house for his pet measure To be truthful and can did about the matter, the "Bull of the Brushes" wa-3 about the only mau on his side of the house who ever even s much as heard the bill read. But the people are too sharp these days to be thus '"hoodooed." They know that Linney had no thought or desire for the passage of auy such a measure, notwithstanding he will parade it before the public and vainly endeavor to make a trump card of it in the next cam paigo. HOW TAR HEELS VOTED. North Carolina's final vote on the tariff bill in the bouse was as follows: For the bill: f-kinuer. Pop , from the 1st district; White, Kep.,Sth; and Pearson, Hep . 0th district-. Against the bil': Fowler, Pop., 3rd district; Stroud, Pop., 4tb; Martin, Pop., Ctb; Kitchen, Dem., 5:h; Shuford. absent and not voting. In the senate Pritchard voted outright for the bill, while Senator Butler was paired against it. OUK CONGRESSMEN. Senator Pritchard finds so much unfinished work on his hands that he ha3 decided to remain over in the city for a week or ten days after the adjournment of Congress. There were no less than 40 office seekers around his pje counter n day with not even so much as a salt mnckerel on the table. The scene beggared description. Senator Butler and wife leave to morrow for their plantation heme in Sampson county, North Carolina. Congressmen Fowler, from the 3d and Kitchen from the 5th, ha?e bid adieu to the familiar scenes around the Capitol and wended their way to their respective homes iu the old North Statts. A TUB TO THE WHALE. The President's currency message came iu at the eleventh hour today,, but is looked upon and regarded by all as a "tub to the whale" for the Ohio election. S me go so far now aud say that it will not - even serve that purpose to any appreciable ex tent. To the great majority the message is a disappointment. CONCERNING APPOINTMENTS. There was some surprise among the politicians here at the action of the President in sending in the name of W. S. Clanton to be assayer and smaller of the XL S Assay office in Charlotte tedty. By some it is re garded as foreshadowing the appoint ment of a Republican postmaster at the expiration of Mr. Robertson's four years term from the date of his confirmation. That however remains to be 6een. Clantou's appointment was not looked for for at least until a week herce. In the matter of fourth class post masters North Carolina has been Hiven a rest since my last. Gold for us From Australia. London, July 23.

As Scon as the Tar ff Bill is Passed This Afternoon the Extra Session; tf Congress is Expected to Come to a Close--No Financial Legislation. Washington, July 24. The Senate met at 10 o'clock this morn ing, in pursuauce of the sgieeaieiit made yesjerday, iifter uuanimous consent was given The vote on the tariff conference report will betaken at three o'clock this afternoon. After the vote on the conferenc-, committee's report this afternoon it is expect d that both houses of Cone gres3 will adjjuru and the extra session come to an end The time taken to pass the tariff bill is about the period that was expected to elapse before it became a law. President McKinley will probably send a mfsssge recemmeuding the appointment of a currency commis sion to Congress as soon as it as;eui bUs in regular sess'iou. No financial legislation has been attempted at this session, though several bills Have been introduced providing for a currency commission and reforms in the currency. s PRESIDENT S SPECIAL MESSAGE. Recommends ths Appointment of a Commission to Consider the Reform of the Currency. President McKinley, just a few moments before the adjournment of Congress, sent to that body a special message as follows: To the Congress of the United States: In my message convening the Con gress in extraordinary session, I called attention toaVirgle subject that of providing revenue adquate to meet the reasonable and proper expenses of t he government. I be lieved that to be the most pressing subject for settlement then. .A bill to provide the necessary revenues for the government has already passed the House of Representatives and the Senate and awaits executive ac tion. Another question of very great importance is that of the establish ment of our currency aud banking system on a better basis, which I commentedupon in my inaugural address in the following words : ' Oar financial system needs some rev'sion; our money is all good now, but its value must not further be threatened. It should all be put upon an enduring basis, not subject to ensy attack, nor ifs stability to doubt or dispute. The several forms of our paper money offer, in my jfldgment a constant embarrassment to the government and imperil a safe balauce in the Treasury." Nothing was settled more clearly at the late national election than the determination upon the part of the people to keep their currency stable iu va-ue and equal to that of the most advanced nations of the world. The soundness of our currency is nowhere questioned. No loss can o:cur to its holders. It is the sys tem which should be simplified aud strengthened, keeping our money just as good as it is now with less expense to the government and the people. The sentiment of the country is strongly v. favor of early action by CoDgress in this direction, to revise our currency laws and remove them from partisan contention. A nota ble assembly of business men with delegates from twenty-nine States aud Tenitorie8 was held at Indian apolis in January of this year. The financial situation commanded their earnest attention, and after a two days session the convention recom mended to Congress the appointment of a monetary commission. I commend this report to the con sideration of Cougress. The authors of the report recommended a com mission "to make a thorough inves tigation of the monetary affairs and needs of this country in all relations and aspects, and to make proper suggestions as to any evi s foui d to exist and the remedies therefor." This subject should leceive the atteution of Congress at its special session. It ought not to be post poued until the regular Bea3ion. I therefore, urgently recommend that a special commission be created, non partisan in its character, to be composed of well informtel citizens of different parties who will com mand the confidence of Congress and the country because of their special fitness for the work, whose duty it shall be to make recommendations of whatever changes in our present banking and currency laws maybe found necessary or expedient, at d to report their conclusions on or before the first day of November next, in order that the same may be trans mitted by me to Congress for its consideration at its first regular ses sion. ' It is to be hoped that the report thus made will be so comprehensive and sound us to receive the support of all parties and the favorable ac tion of Congress At all events such a report cannot fail to be of value to the executive branch of the govern ment, as well as to those charged with public legislation, and to great ly assist in the establishment of an improved system of finance. .(Signed) Wm.

Thinks the Senatorial Contest Has . Narrowed Dawn to HcLaurln and 'Evans. To Speak at Mooresvil'e Next Thursday.-What He Thinks of the Tariff Bill. Senator B. 11. Tillman, of South Carolina, passed through Charlotte j-Sunday returning to h'8 home in Llgeneld from Washington. The South Carolinian looked worn out and much exhausted. To a News f reporter he said that tbe Cougress that wiljoitrueu baturday waq oue of the inont fcxtraordinnry sessions ever hel; hat the Republicans had everything their way and it now re mains to be seen whether the pana cea that they have originated for the ills of the people will work out for their good or evil. w Senator Tillman is very anxious concerning the Senatorial campaign now a. its height in his State. He claims to be entirely neutral and ays that he will not take any hand in it. He is make two speeches du ring the campaign, oneatTiizth and one at Abbeville, but savs th tt both will be on educational lines arel pol itics will not come into eitter d'sens sion. "Seuator, who has the best chance t win in tbe corning Senatorial election," askeel the reporter. "Well, that is hard to ssy. Mc Lauriu ha a good record and has many fnend3. Evans seems to be gaining strength elaily and as for the other ciaiidites I doa't thiuk th:re is any show." "Then you think that it has nar roweel down lo-two, do you?" "That 13 my ida exactly. Irby has never had the ghoit of a show. His ree;ord while in Washington will defeat him for any position in tbe gift of, bis State. "Tie is just like a man that has been buried for six mouths aud has scratched out." "What about 'May field aud Dun can, have they no show?' "I do not think to. As I said be fore I think the fight is between McLauriu and Evans." - "What about the Dingley tariff bill. Will it work much harm to the South?" " That remains to he seen. It is difficult to judge so radical a mas ure uutil it has been tried. I do not think that the Republicans iu tend-d to help US much when they framed that bill." S nator Tillman u booked to sprak at Mooresville on Thursday, lie says that he always enjoys his visits to North Carolina and antici pates a good day on Thursday. NOT CN SPEAKING TERMS. Two Brothers Caused the Fatal Ex plosion in the Winchester Arms Works. By Telegraph to The News. New Haven, Conn., July 23 Foreman Pfleger, of the Winchester Arms Co., says the fatal explosion was due entirely to tbe carelessness of two brothers, the llardoffs, who were not on speaking terms. They operated the machine where the ex plosion originated; they were green hands; one made a mistake, the other refused to correct him, and this resulted- in the explosion. Pflegher siys he will not return to work. His brother was kilkd in an acetylene explosion a year ago. One of the Bardoffs was killed aud the other perhaps fatally injured. A Strange Freak of Nature. Mr. J. F. Fair, of Mallard Creek township, brought a curiosity to town today in the shape of a double canteloupe.

He sold the melon to Mr. Holobaugh. The Fatal Floods in Ohio. Youngstowx, Ohio, July 23. Only one life was lost in last u'ght's Storm, but . the property damaged amounts to about $125,000.

Sen ator Uanna is enraged because the President insisted on sending his currency message to Congress against the instructions of Senator Hanna who vouched tbe information that it would be of no avail aod would thus cast a stigma upon the Republican party which would he blamed for inactivity in currency reform, which the message plainly pointed out was vitally necessary. disappointed in maybrick case State department officials do not try to hide their disappointment at the failure of our diplomats to secure a pardon for Mrs. Maybrirk.

Mrs. Cocke was quite wealthy and had a good deal of property besides the $30,000 insurance on her life, all of which was left by will to hr husband. SHDPTON PICNIC.

Neither HcKlnley Nor Hanna Pleased itn the Uxtra Sesslt n Tariff Bill Pays Off Campaign Obligations to the Trusts. Talk at the Capital. Conespoadence of the New. W ashington, July 26 Neither Boss Hanna nor Mr. McKinley are euti rely satisfied with the work of the extra session of Congre'ss just closed. The tariff bill pleased them all right, it more than repaid their campaign obligations to the trusts, nos to mention the $32,000,000, made by tbe sugar trust and its friends while the bill was pending. But their efforts to repay their cam paign obligations to the banking interests were a failure. Mr. Mc Kinley, in his special message cent to Congress only a few hours before adjournment, asking for authority to appoint a currency commission, quoted tbe Indianapolis Banker's convention a3 though it had been the assembled financial wisdom of tbe world, but that didn't bring the legislation asked for. The House railroaded through in CO miuutes a bill granting Mr. McKinley the authority asked for, although nearly every prominent Republican in that body is really opposed to a currency commission, but the Seuate was not so accommodating, and there is nothing in sight to iudicate. that it will be more obliging next winter. Senator Morgan haudled the con ference committee without gloves, iu a 6peech niide just before the vote was taken on the conference report on the tariff bill, for its aban donment of the tax on bonds and transfers of stock a tax that was approved by the finance committee and by a Republican caucus, closing with this explicit language, which no Republican attempted to deny: "1 charge that the abandonment occurred ucder command of the sugar trust." Before tbe Ohio Republicans do any shouting over the result of the collcquy between Senators Allen and Foraker -concerning the charge of the former that the Republican vote of that State was fraudulently in creased for Mr. McKinley, they should arrange for Mr. Foraker, or somebody else, to accept the chal lenge with which Mr. Allen closed the little spat: 'I will meet the Sen ator any time and will undertake to convince auy unprejudiced man that there was fraud in Ohio." Senator Teller's arraignment of the Republican tariff bill, now the law of the land, was one of the bit terest pills the Republicans have had to swallow iu a long time. Mr. Teller, who is a protectionist, char acterized this bill as vicious, unfair, extravagant, and unsatisfactory; and as hiving been framed entirely iu tbe interest of trusts and syndicates-. Mr. Teller also took occa sion to criticise in the strongest lan guage the gold standaid policy of forcing professors out of educational institutions because of their belief in the free coinage of silver. He denounced the forced resignation of President Andrews, of Brown Uni versity, as one of the most "shame ful aces of abasement" the world has seen, and said iu ringing tones: "Thank God that President An drews was big enough to refuse to be Stilled." Senator Turley, of Tenn., cas. his first vote for the Tillman resolution to investigate sugar scandal charges, which was defeated, and bis second agsinst the conference .report on the trust made tariff bill, which was adopted. The hearings to determine wheth er John Wedderburn & Co., shall be disbarred from practice before the U. S. Patent Office, are now on. A pertinent quesn often accom plishes niore than argument. One destroyed the scheme to authorize Czar Reed's pets who bale been made chairmen of committees to give their favorites sinecure positions during the Congressional recess. When Representative OrosveDor tried to push a resolution through authorizing that waste of public money, he was asked, if the House could get along while Congress was in session without these clerks, why they should be considered necessary during the recess. The laugh which followed killed the scheme. Sec. Sherman's departure before the adjournment of Congress for a Long Island summer resort, was re garded us additional proof, that he uas very little to do with the eflicial business of the Department of State. In fact, it is hinted by some that Mr. Sherman intended to emphasize that very thing by his going. Georgia Democrats are morepleaE ed with tbe nomination of Henry Rucker, an Atlanta negro barber, to be U. S. Marshal for Georgia than Maj. Hansom and his. white repub lican followers from that State are. It is expected that all of Rucke-r's deputie will be negroes, as no white man will care to serve under him, and lively times are likelyto follow every visit of tbe dusky officials to tbe moonshine districts of the State.

Someone Enters the Residence of Mr. Walter Traywlck and jrir. A. S. Orr and Steals $65 While the Faml lies Are at BreakfastChief Orr's Warning. A daring rob'Tery was committed at the residence of Mr. Walter Tray wick and Mr. A. S. Orr on East Ninth street, between D. and E. Tuesday while the two families were at breakfast a thief entered the house through the front door, and fo und a trunk and a good-sized sum of money. The thief opened this trunk with a pair of scissors which was laying on a table in the room, and stole therefrom 48 dol lars in money that belonged to Mr. Orr and $17 that belonged to Mr. Tray wick. The thief escaped before the Jcs3 was discovered. When the family returned from breakfast the . trunk was found open and the money goue. The thief is supposed to be one of the gang of little negro boys who make a habit of going to the front doors of residences, and if they are seen they ask the person who comes to tbe door if they have any wood to cut or work of any other kind to do. If nobody happens to be in front of the house they steal whatever they can lay their hands on. Chief of Police Orr asks The News to warn all householders in the city to keep their front doors closed when no one is in that part of the house, as these thieves are nu merous, and petty thefts are report ed almost every day.

KICK OF THE MORTON CADETS. Say They Should Have Had tbe Cham pionship at the San Antonio Drills. The Morton Cadets, Washington's crack military company, passed through here this morning returning to the capital from Texas, where during the State fair at San Anto nio they contended for the prizes in the inter-state drills. They won second money, but are kicking vig orously because they were not awarded first place and the cham pionship. "We were entitled to the championship, but the judges were determined it should go to a Texas company, so they awarded it to the Governor's Guards, of Austin," said one cadet to a News mau. "We fairly won it, but they robbed us," said another. There were forty-seven of the Morton Cadets, in a special sleeping car. They enjoyed their trip to Texas, "all except the drill." After the fair they went via Houston to Galveston, and took a dip in the Gulf of Mexico. 2,000 THROWN OUT OF WORK. A Disastrous $500,000 Fire In Yon- kers, N. Y., Last Night.
