Q. Rhett upon the authority of Mr. M. W. Pot? ter, chairman of the board of direc? tors of the Cllnchfleld Company. Mr. Potter arrived here yesterday morning from New York with Mr. M. J.

NATIVE AND FOREIGN POEPLE. (eie*u* HiiioHu'd Instructions Regard? ing The Enumeration Of Them. Washington, Feb. 16.?What the census enumerators are required to learn regardlngg the place of birth of native-born and foreign-born per? sons, and other personal facts con? cerning the latter class, In taking the Thtrtteenth United States Census, be glning April 16 next, Is fully set forth In the printed Instructions prepared by the United States Census Bureau to guide them in filling out that all the questions relate only to conditions existing on April 15, the "Census Day." On the subject of place of birth of a native-born person the Instructions state that if the person was born in the United States the enumerator Is to give the State or Territory uiot city or town) in which born. A per? son born in what Is now West Virgin? ia. North Dokota, South Dokota, or Oklahoma should be reported a? so born, although at the time of birth the particular region may have had tl different name. Relative to conjugal condition, the enumera, rs are to report whether] the person Is single, married, widow- j ed, or divorced. Married persons are to be asked if they have been mar? ried before. If the present marriage la the first, the fact is to be Indicated by the sign "M 1;" but if it is the sec? ond or subsequent marriage, then the enumerator Is to write "M 2" meaning married more than once. The question calling for the num? ber of years of the present marriage la declared by the Census Bureau to apply only to persons reported as married, and the answer should give the number of years married to the present husband or wife. Thus a woman who may have been married for 10 years to a former husband, but has been marled only 3 years to her present husband, should be returned as married S years. The number of years entered should be the number of completed years. A person who on April 15, the "Census Day," has been married 3 years and 11 months should be returned as married 3 years. For a person married less than 1 year, the entry Is to be "0," meaning less than one year. In the case of persons speaking Polish or reporting that they were born in Poland, which Is no longer an Independent country, the enume? rator la to Inquire whether the birth? place waa in what Is now known as Oerman Poland, or Austrian Poland, or Russian Poland, and he must write the answer accordingly as Poland (Oer.), Poland (Aust.), or Poland (Ruse.). If the birthplace reported Is Cana? da, the enumerator la required to ask whether the person Is of English or French descent and write Canida (Eng.), or Canada (Fr.), according to the answer. The question calling for the year of Immigration to the United States ap? plies to all foreign-born persons, male and female, of whatever age. It should be answered, therefore, for every person whose birthplace was in a foreign country. The enumerator must enter the year in which the person came to the United States. If he has been in the United States more than once, the year of his first ar? rival is to be stated. The inquiry whether naturalized or alien appl'es only to foreign born males 21 years of age and over. It does not apply to females, to foreign born minors, or to any male born in the United States. If the person was born abroad, but has become a full citizen either by taking out second or final papers of naturalization or through the naturalization of his parents while he was under the age of 21 years, the enumerator is to write "Na" (for naturalized). It he has declared his Intention to become an American pitlzen and taken out his "first papers," the enumerator is to write "Al" (for alien). The inquiry as to the ability to speak English applies to all persons 10 years of age or over. If English is spoken, the enumerator must write "English" In the prlper column. If the person enumerated Is no\ able to speak English the enumerator Is re? quired, In such cases only, to write out the name of the language spoken, as French. Oerman. Italian, etc. II more than one language Is spoken by ? person wh # however. 'Iocs not speak English, the the enumerator Is to write the name of that language which Is his native language or mother tongue. people who have ?>eon discovering complete substitutes for meat are almost as sanguine gg the Inventor* of perpetual-motion machines Washington Star.

Sri tutors Hod Mode Up Their Minds How They Would Vote and Did Not Care to Hear Facta and Arguments. The senate resolution from the Ju- i diciary committee was killed in the senate yesterday afternoon by a vote : of 27 to 9 and the superintendent and hoard of regents of the State Hospital for the Insane will not be requested to resign, as was proposed by this res? olution Debate on the question, com? menced Wednesday, was continued yesterday, and yesterday afternoon the question was settled. After the very lengthy debate that has been indulged in on the question. Senator Weston moved to lay the resolution on the table. This was withdrawn to permit additional remarks and then the mo? tion was put. On the motion to table the resolution asking for the resigna? tions of the officials the vote resulted: Yeas?Appelt, Bass, Black, Carpen? ter, Crosson, Earle, Forrest, Griffin, Hamrick, Hardln, Harvey, Hough Johnson, Johnstone, Laney, Lide, Mc Cown, McKeithan, Montgomery, Muckenfuas, Ralnsford. Rogers, Splvey, Summers, Walker Weston and Wharton. Nays?Bates, Christensen, Clifton, Graydon, Kelley, Sinkler, Townsend, Walter, Williams. Two pairs were announced, Senator Maulden voting no, being paired with Senator Sulli? van, voting aye; and Senator Stewart voting aye, being paired with Sena? tor Carlisle, voting no. This disposed of the resolution and the bill of the minority of the investi? gating committee was called for dis? cussion. , The amendment offered by Senator Montgomery was first consid? ered and is still before the senate as the discussion of the amendment en? tered into by Its author and suspend? ed on the afternoon session, presum? ably to be resumed at the night sess? ion, was not reached in the rush of debate on the income tax amendment that was launched last night. So the consideration of the amend? ment to the bill authorizing the board of regents to purchase land in the country Is the pending question in this legislation and when It is taken up today Senator Montgomery, the author of the amendment, will have the floor. Senator Christensen, speaking in fa? vor of the passage of the bill, told of his observations as a member of the committee appointed to investigate conditions at the State Hospital for the Insane. The Senator from Beaufort advocated the passage of the resolut? ion in an earnest manner, although the chairs of many senators were va? cant. They had decided how they would vote and didn't care to hear the argument. Senator Earle opposed the resolu? tion and In a short argument defend? ed Dr. Babcock, the board of regents and the administration in charge of the State's insane. Senator Laney commenced his speech opposing the resolution at the morning session and concluded when the senate met for the afternoon ses? sion. The Senator from Chesterfield spoke earnestly and vigorously In de? fense of the .superintendent and board of regents, and his remarks made an Impression. Senator Lide spoke for a few minutes after Senator Laney had con? cluded. The Senator from Orange burg signed the minority resolution from the judiciary committee when the resolution asking for the resig? nation of the superintendent and board of regents was passed by this committee. Senator Llde read a tele cram from the Orangeburg Medical Society Indorsing Dr. Babcock. Senator Clifton, one of the majority of the judiciary Committee, said *hat he wished to explain that the maj ity of this committee did not have any words of criticism for Dr. Babcock and the members of the board of re? gents, as to their character but did wish to criticise their business and executive ability. Senator Weston then renewed his motion to table the resolution and the vote was taken. The "mlnorly" bill providing for authority for the board of regents to buy 1,200 acres of land within 10 miles of Columbia, paying $25,000 therefor, was than called, and Sena? tor Montgomery's amendment provl dln| for 8,000 aores to be purchased and for ths r? cents and a commission of state offloera to borrow $500,000. was the first part of the bill to bo considered, in advocalng the adopt? ion of his amendment the senator from Marlon spoke at ths afternoon session and was engaged in urging his amendment when the senate ad? journed ;it 7 o'clock until 8 o'clock last evening, but other matters were then taken up.

A corporation to be known as the Jerusalem Temple Association has been formed under Massachusetts laws, having for its object the build? ing and maintenance of a Masonic temple in Jerusalem, to mark the traditional birthplace of Masonry. It is proposed to go beyond previous efforts of a like nature and insure the permanency of Masonry in Jerusalem by the erection of a temple that will stand for all timev Its corporators include distinguish? ed members of the craft, among them Bishop J. W. Hamilton, D. D., U L. O.; ex-Congressman L. D. Apsley, Adjt. Gen. William H. Brigham, Wil? liam E. Litchfield, of the Boston Chamber of Commerce; Warren B. Ellis, P. C. H. P., editor of the Crafts? man; George E. Whitaker, publisher of Zlon's Herald, and others promi? nent In public and society life. The president of the association, A. B. Howe, has spent considerable time in Jerusalem, and is thoroughly con? versant with local conditions. He be? lieves that there Is a sufficient num? ber of English-speaking Masons In the Holy City to warrant the re-estab? lishment of a lodge there. Visiting Masons occasionally hold meetings in Solomon's quarry, but the place is not suited to regular communications, having no seating or other convenien? ces, and a government charge of twenty cents for admission is made. If possible, the architecture will conform to that of Solomon's temple, exclusive of the golden adornment and other decorative effects. To car? ry out the plan, as outlined, would re? quire at least $100,000, which It Is pro? posed to raise by subscriptions of not less than $10 from each of the blue lodges throughout the United States, and, In addition, to raise personal funds from private sources. Should the total amount subscribed exceed or fall short of $100,000 the plans will be elaborate or modified acordlngly. The first contribution received came from James B. McGregor, of Newport, N. H., 108 years old, the oldest living Free Mason. Governors, bishops and men prominent in social and religious life have promised their hearty cooperation, and Mrs. Aaron Morley Wiicox, widow of one of the most prominent, members of Masonry, during his life, has Interested herself in the movement.?Craftsman.
