Cow Dongises Boiug Considered. Releigh Post, Feb. Ist. Impeashment proceedings have been instituted against Chief Justice D. M. Furches and Judge R.. M. Dougiass of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. In tbe House of Representatives yesterday a resolution was intreduc- ed by Representative Leecke Craig, of Bunecmbe, lecking to the im- peachment of the Chief Justice aud an associate membar of the highest eeurt in the Staite. The on which the im veachmmeat prececdings are based are that both judges violated the Constitution in issuing the manda: mus upcn the Treasurer to pay the claim for back salary of Theophilus White, Shellfish Commissioner, when the Leyisiature, by expres:ei act, forbid such payment. The resolution created a sensation when introduced in tbe House Vhile such action has been talked of, no one was expecting the matter at this time. The fact that the re ciution was introduced by one of the leaders on the floor of the House makes the impeachment proceedings all the more serious. As soon as the resolution was iatroduced ena peras Charles it was referred to the Judiciary Com mittee at the request of the autibor The resolution came up beisrea full meeting of the Judiciary Com mittee last night. It wes referred to a sub committee of five, of which ex-Judyve W. R.

The indica- eyne eBayoe is a or tions are that a report will be made to the full Judiciary Committee ear ' . ly hext week. It is the belief of members of the Judiciary Committee that the reso- lution ean be reported to the House early next wecx. Ifa faverable r- port is made then the resolution will come immediately before the House. One reading on!y anda voce by a majority of the members of the House is necessary for the passage of the resolution.

Post 2nd. The House Judiciary Committee met yesterday afternoon at the 5a preme Court building. The amend ment offered is the Guither diverce pili by Mr. Craig of Buncomve was acted upon favorably and will be offered as a substitute to the Gaith er bill. Mr. Craig’s substitute ab olishes all causes for divorce save those mentioned in the Code, and makes abandonment for three years aground for divorce, the party guilty of tbe abandonment being li adle to indictment. The Baldwin substitute, giving either party to a divorce the right to marry again, was also accepted and will be a part of the substitute bill. The amended bih will result in a big fight when it comes up in the House. Mr Connor, Mr. Duls, Mr Gaither and others opposed the sub stitute, and when reported favora bly by a majority of the commitice they gave notice that they reserved on tke floor of the House.

Representative Willerd’s vill to provide for the proper assessment of property for taxation is ore of the most important yet proposed. It gives the State Corporatios Commis- sicn the power as a Board of Asses- sors, aud requires them to make a personal investigation of the condi- ticns in each county, so that justice mzy be done, itis a notoricus fact that most of the property on the tax books is listed at too low a _fig- ure. There are instances in which the property is listed, at its cash value, but they are rarc. This was shown clearly by the testimony be- fore the special master in the rail- rozd taxation cases.

It isnot at all certain thatthe judiciary committee wil) report the impeachment resolution favorably, and it ishoped they will not. Judge Furches isa strong par- tisan, even a bitter one at times, but no man who knows himever doubt- ed his honesty and integrity. He may have made a serious mistake and transcended bis authority; but there is nothing to show that he did so intentionally and knowingly.

Victoria, queen of Great Britain, and empress of India, were transferred to Winsdor, via London, for their sepulcher at Frogmore. : The scenes attendant upon this fi- nal office of royalty and her beloved veople were remarkable and while they were replete with pomp, there wasadeep patbos that ran as 2 strong undercurrent ina great fu- neral pageant. No sovereign in the hour of inter- ment ever received such a tribute to cherished worth and merit as has been bestowed upon Victoria by mourning thousands of ber late sub- jects today. The funeral train arrived here at 2:24. At2:20 agun shot signalled the arrival, and thereafter minute guns fired. The cortege entered the gates of Windsor Park and reached St. George’s Chapel at 2:50. The pro- gram here was sliyhtly upset, owing to the restiveness of the horses at- tached to the guncarriage. The long wait in the cold caused them to turp restive and they became almost un- manageable in the station yard There was only a brief delay how- aver. They were unharnessed and the blue jackets forming the guard of honor took their places’ and haul- ed the coffin the rest of the way to the castle. Under gray, lowering skies, the casket of the queen was drawn by the hundreds of blue jackets through High streetto the gate of Windsor Park, i As tbe minute guns boomed from ‘he castle walk, a troop of mounted Life Guards in scarlet cloaks and white plumes moved likea glow of varmth through the bare street be- ween the black, eold, benumbed ‘rowd. Following them came three yursuivants at arms, with their long satin cloaks, emblazoned with the lesign of the royal standard. The ichtof gentlemen attired in sym bols of heraidry and medeavalism re- arred constantly inthe slow mov- ng train. The fore:en envoy wore resplend- ent uniforsm. Major General Pole- tarew, in his general’s uniform and narching afoot, led bis staff in frout fa deputation of officers of the Ger- nan calvary regiment, of which the yueen was honorary colonel. Following them after aspace came Lord Reberts, walking alone and rolding a field marshal’s baton, and rreeted as he passed with a bum of Qmiring attention. Esrl Roberts salked with a fixed and sorrowful He was entirely irresponsive salutations of the onlookers. Solowing him came the. band of the “Life Guards, plaving Beethoven’s oarch and preceeding the Duke of Norfolk as Earl Marshal of England, vith the ceremonial officers of Eng- 2nd. The coffin, which the sailors were lrawing to its journey’s end, was ‘overed with the same brilliant. yet solemn embroidery and insignia of yesterday. Tke king and _ kaiser, with a larger numeer of princes. walked silently behind, looking as though the end of their sorrowful Auty would be a relief. The officers and their staffs follow- tng gave a resplendant. kaleodescop- ic color to the scene. Every uniform in Europe, mingled with Turkish, Japanese, and South America. Am- oassador Choate, in plain black mourning, walked in the centre of the front row of special envoys. The Bishop of Winchester conduct- ed the service as prelate of the Order of the Garter, the knights of which order oecupied their own stalls, their banners hanging overhead. The atalls of the late queen and prince consort were vacant. The foreign representatives, inp- cluding Ambassador Choate and Secretary White had lunch witl the king at Windsor after the ceremony. The scenes at Windsor, preceding the arrival of the queen’s corteage were varied and impressive’ By 11 o clock the streets had become im- passible. 1. dense crowd of upper class people, who hoped to avoid the crush in London by coming here, filled all the available space in the thoroughfares. For hours before the queen’s body arrived the press was terrible. The hospitals were keps busy tak- ing care of the injured during the crush. Thirty persons were treated at the post-oflice. Some of these cases are dangerous and one woman expired and her body was removed tothe morgue. From an early hour the open win- dows along the narrow, stone-payed winding streets thronged. Purple and black draperies hung in profus- ion from allof these windows and the funerai decorations in Wiusdor were universal. The final act in the passing of Queen Victoria occured at 3 o’eleck Wednesday afternoon when the re- mains were taken from Albert Me- morial chapel and born to the Royal Mausoleum and there placed in their last resting place beside the ashes of Albert. the late Prince Consort. faZe. t +h >DoHe rt <a Charges Against Wilcox of Hawaii.

Hesaid he never had talked to Faircloth or Furches save when he made application to them on the bench, and that his re- lations with Furches were not friend- ly. Once on the street be met Doug- las and made some passing remark about White’s claim. Douglas mere ly said: “I reckon you'll get your money.”’ When the sub committee on the impeachment resolution came into the Supreme Court library to make a report to the full judiciary com- mittee at 8:30 p.m.Monday Sbannon- house said the newspapers had giv- ea such prominence to this impeach- ment matter and kad so much to say about it, he thought the report and discussion should be out of their reach; that some newspapers had taken it upon themselves to tell what should be done, when they knew nothing about facts either way. On motion of Rob‘nson, the committee adjourned to the State Library, thus avoiding the necessity of ordering the laree assemblage cf members of the House and Senate and reporters from the room. Chairman Ailen, of Wayne, of the sub-committee, said there had been statements printed that the sub-committee had agreed toreport unanimously in favor of impeachment; that these were en- tirely unauthorized; that the sub- committee was simply authorized to investigate the case and report the result to the full committee, and for no other purpose; that the sud com- mittee had no authority or purpose to recommend im peachment, but on- ly to report the result of the investi- gation, leaving the course to be tak- eno in the hands ofthe whole com- mittee. At 12:15 the committee adjourned until 3 o’cleck tomorrow afternoon. Speeches were made by Craig. Con oor, Graham, of the sub committee. All expressed the Jepal opinion tbat the judges are liable to impeach- ment, but allsave Craig were non- committal as to the expendiency of impeachment. Rountree, Winston and others madeinterriogations of speakers, indicating disapproval of impeachment. There are three or four Republicans on the committee, but only one was present at the meeting. The report of tke sub- committee is in the nature of alaw brief, citing decisions of questions of impeachment. It is said its conclu- sion plainly supports the right to impeach and evidence bearing tne same way. Thesub-committee made no direct recommendation. Graham and Connor’s remarks were pacific There was no heated discussion, but the meeting was more in the nature ofa conference. A member of the committee said tonight he hoped the way would be found out of the mat- ter without impeachment, but de- clared that unquestionably evidence adduced showed ample ground of it. Tuesday, 5th—This afterncon the three hours’ adjourned impeachment session. There was much speech making. The principal speakers were Allen, Connor, Wins on, Rob- inson, Spainhour, Green, Whitaker of Guilford, and Brittain. The dis cussion was whether there should be impeachment of Judges Furches aad Douglas or whether somethiuy in the nature of a reprimand, spread upon the journals, should not be chosen. Connor strongly favored the latter course. No vote was taken and it was decided to adjourn until Thursday. If the vote bad been for impeachment, a number of those who so recorded themselves would have demanded reconsideration and postponement. There are some di- rectly opposed to impeachment, and amember of the committee says that there is no doubt that after deliber- ation, a number who now jean to- ward impeachment may voteagainst it. Discussion developed the fact that Winston had always favored im peachment. The open opponents of impeachment are Stubbs, Whitaker of Guilford, and Brittian. The op- ponents regard the adjour: ment as a victory and another memoer says that postponement to Thursday means the defeat of impea«! ment. It is fair to say that tbe commit- tee is considering this ma'ter ina very judicial frame of mind and manner and has risen to the dignity of the occassion, and persons on the ground cannot help realizng_ this. Some members are chafing under criticism which they consider un- merited, and they say they should not be held responsibie for the va- porings of outside partisans. at 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon He was surrounded by his family at until 1900.

Morgazton Herald. The Legislature is being urged to pass a statute providing for a legal primary for any political party that willask for it. It is well uuder- stood that this means only the Dem- ocrat party and it is even better uu derstood that it means such mem- bers of the Democratic committeeas usually go to Raleigh in response to the call of the chairman, as it Is through them that the asking will bedone. In behalf of the law it is said that the State conventioa de- clared for it and no otuer reason is deemed needful to offer. Without argueing how far 4 o’clock in the morning resolutions with two-thirds of the convention in bed should pre- vail with lawmakers. who were elect- ed without any discussion of this subject, we venture to suggest that the experience of South Carolina with legalized primaries is not ove to be imitated. It may be that the statute if passed will never be in- voked aud no harm will come; but why do @ vain thing. Our own con- viction is deep rooted that the legal- ized primary is a quicksand that will swallow the party organization and float to the surface a non-descript, brindle tail, mugwump confusiun, whose beneficiary will be the Nation- al Republican party in 1904. ——_—_——)>- es |e Meeting Of Coufederate Veterans— Legislation Desired.

When the credentials of Mr. Sim Senator elect from North Carolina, were presented to the the United States Senate last, Mon day, Senator McComas, of Mary- land, moved their reference to the committee on privileges and elec- tions, but after being overhauled by Senators Hoar and Chandler with- rew his motion.: Tuesday 1n the Senate Mr. Butler, fter stating that he was absent when ‘‘tha paper purporting to be the credentials,’’ Simmons, of North Carolina, was presented, offered a resolution for the reference of that document to the Senate committee on privileges He said he recogniz- ed the question was one requiring the attention of the next Congress, but that he introduced this resolu- tion as a “‘notice’’ and he asked that it lieon the table. evenicrg Butler explained that oa March 4th next Mr. Simmons, when he presented himself to be sworn in, would be asked to step asideand then that Senator Pritchard or some oth- er Senator would present the resol- uticn he offered today and the Sen- ate would, at the threshold of Mr. Simmons’ career, discuss the North Carolira election methods. rosolution to refer then Mr. Simmons would not sit in the Senate until the If the resolution of Senator-elect Later 20.976; Charlotte, with with 14,694; Ra- nboro, with in the If the as adopted, committee re- to refer éss tha 5a all skin diseases.—W. F, Hall, Constitution. It may not occur to Congressman Crumpacker, of Indiana, that the wholesale crusade against vogroes in his state is violative cf the rights secured to them by the constitution ef the United States, but it must appear so to others. ‘ The story told by the dispatebrs from Indiana is filled with detai:s sufficient to call for a congression- alicquiry asto whether citizens -of that state are .ot discriminated against because of their coler. White men have committed murder in that state without calling down the pen- aity of-deportation against all their associates. White men have soid their votes in ‘‘blocks of five,’ as can be learned by reference to Mr. Dudley, without any wholesale in- dictments torid the state of their presence. White men, in turn, have purchased white votes without mak- ing a subsequent effort to havethem indicted fur the sale. For every negro idler or roustabout lying about in an Indiana saloon, a dozen white men can be found doing the same thing, yet the organization for the clearing out of the negro leafer dces not include the corresponding element of the white population. What is ali this but rank discrimina- tion because of ‘‘color or previous condition?’’ Itis an edict for the wkolesale slaughter of the negro race, for presumably every other community has the same right of deportation and exclusion,ana@ if the rule becomes thus universa!, where is the negro to go, save to offer him- selt as a sacrifice te race hatred and prejudice? ee ee ee a Trouble Abead For Bachelcrs. Dorothy Dix, in the New York Jour- ' nal, predicts that whatever else the twentieth century may be it will certainly not be the century of bach- elors. On the contrary, she is con vinced that there is an organized movement on foot to abolish bache- lors. On this subject she says: “The new century opens up with a gloomy outlook for bachelors Their liberty is threatened on every side. It has always taken talent to enable an eligible young man to re- main single. In the future nothing short of absolute genius will keep his neck out of the matrimonial halter. “For several years the cloud has cveen darkening about his beloved head. Moralists have never wearied in exhorting young men to marry, whether they had anything to mar- ry on or not, on the principle, pre sumably, that one man had as good a right as another tostarve a wom- an. Preachers have also discoursed on the holy estate of matrimony until one might infer that man was created and sent into the world solely to marry, and that his chief end was to glorify woman sod pay hee bills. ‘The most radical step, however. against the bachelor’s liberty, nas been taken by France. Alarmed at the decrease in population, a bill bas been introduced into the French Senate for the purpose ef levying a heavy tax on celibates. This is France's way of fostering her in fant indusiry. America bas ve such necessily. In the number. and quality, and variety of her babies, asin her cther productions, she leads the world, ana challenyes com petition.

The Chinese plenipotentiaries, Prince Ching-and Li Hucg Chang-had a protracted meeting this morning with foreignenyoys. Twelve names of promiuent Chinese officials were submitted with the request that Chioa keep faith with the powers and punisk the persons named com- mensurately with their offenses. The Chinese plenipotentiaries re- plied that China’s earnest hope was to carry out fully the demands of the powers and that she felt sure the punishment which would be inflicted would be satisfactory. It was dis- covered that two out of twelve of the persons named were already dead. In certain cases the Chinese pleni- potentiaries gave reasous why the punishment inflicted should be ban- ished and not death, asserting that in these cases, they particularly de- sired banished because the persons in question were so closely related to the throne.

If the pres apt solicitor continues in his career we kuow not what will be the result Already there is no security in my county for life or property.” Charges of the grossest corru ption are freely made and details and names giver. Oaecharg2 is that a solicitor received $2,000 to recom- mend a pardon. A Republican mem- per from the ninth district said this morning that be should be compeil- ed to present articles of im peack- ment ifthe demand on him contin- ued.

The magnitude of the proposed steel combination has fairly stagger- ed thinking men. The deal, if con- summated, will, it is reported, re- present an investment of one billion dollars, making it by far the most important transaction ever engineer- ed in the-United States, if not in the world. The combination wouid ab- solutely dominate the iron and steel industry in this country, and could put up or reduce prices at will. The Carnegia Company alone, which it is proposed to take over, is capital- ized at $160,000,000, with a similar amount of bonds outstanding. The Carnegie Company, with its vast resources, is in position to compete in any branch of the iron and steel trade, and the practical head of that Corporation, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, has recently shown a disposition to make trouble for his competitors, should they pursue tactics contrary to his ideas of sound business policy.

All Europe will say so: all South America and a strony minor- ity in this country itself will say so. In fact, we are confined to a choice of insults to our intelligence and as- persions upon our morality in char- acterizing our policy in the matter. We have certainly followed a course nicely calculated to reduce Cuba to the status of a subjugated province by hook or by crook. First we au- thorize her political leaders to draft a corstitution which is to define her relations with the United States, but is not to be submitted to her own people forapproval. Here was subjugation. With the bribe of office dangling before their noses these politicians were expected to hurry through the sort of charter which could not be submitted to the people. But the politicians hav- ing refused to hand their coun- try over tous, we proceed to place their country and its people in a po- sition wherefrom we shall be com- pelled reluctantly to take it. We will not allow the Cubans to forma government and then treat with it from the coign of our overwhelming yaotage of strength. We the cat are afraid of the awful claws of this terrible mouse ifit once gets them out. No, we will insist on their in- serting stipulations in their organic law which will destroy their free- dom. We do this knowing that toa patriot 2 “‘limit’’ in his country’s independendence is like a ‘‘limit”’ in kis wife’s honor. And we do this in such a way as to make provocation of the Cubans and action on our part inevitable. Wesend the president down to the island with no puwer to parley.

It directs him to get twonaval stations, the control of the debt and foreign relations as security for the rent or turn the tenant out. Evic tion—that is to say, forcibleannexa- tion—through the usual form ofa petition of notables for salvation from anarchy follows as a matter of course. This is the American policy which all foreign and many domestic crit- ics will deduce from the whole course of this country in Cuba, culminat- ing as it does in the proposal! for the president to act under a resolution of Congress-in demanding guarantees of American control. And either this is our policy or we have none worthy of the name.

The report of the special Congres- sional committee which investigated the hazing of Cadet Booz and the general subject of hazing at West Point, today was submitted to the House of Representatives by the chairman of the committee, Repre- sentative Dick, together with a bill making stringent regulations against hazing, fighting and all bru- tal practices. The report isan exhaustive review of the practice of hazing in all its forms aud while moderate in tone is nevertheless a stringent arraign- ment of the many alleged brutal practices enumerated. It specifies more than one hundred distinct methods of annoying and _ harassing fourth class men and describes them in detail. Thereport states that a system of fighting has grown up which isshocking in its character; that such fight as that at West Point isa felony according to the statutes in many of the States, and that the time has come when Con gress must decide whether fights, which are high crimes elsewhere shall coatinue at West Point. The committee finds that Cadets MacArthur, Brethand Burton were hazed into convulsions, others were hazed until they fainted while oth- ers were hazed until they were sick. As to the hazing of Cadets Booz Breth the report says: : “While we cannot fix upon hazing the responsibility fot’ these two deaths, the possibility that it hast- ened them and the blot that it throws on the otherwise fair and glorious fame of the academy, uvge the adop- tion of reasonabe, yet we believe ef fective, measures for its eradication and the promotion of discipline at the academy. The bill submitted contains eleven sections against hazing, aad provides means for its detection and punish- ment. Dismissal is provided for saking part in a fight or achallenge, directly or indirectly, or for any form of annoying, harassing, or bracing of cadets.

Rome, Ga., Dispatch, rrth. ‘“‘“Gin”’ Hulsey is about the shrewd- est, wiliest distiller of moonshine whiskey the revenue force ever rau across in this part of the world, fam- ed as it is for the most elusive illicit distillers in the world. “Gin’’ Husley has lived for years at Braswell, 2 small flag station on the Southern, about half way be tween Rome and Atlanta. Fora long while the officials have suspect- ed that Hulsey was making whiskey, out the cleverest men in the service were foiled by the old fellow. But today Revenue Officer R A. Bailey was successful in finding Hul- sey’s stilland revealing the unique method by which be hadavoided de tection for so long Hu!lsey’s home had a basement, and eneath this was another cellar art- fully concealed by a trap door. Up stairs in the ‘best room” was an organ, up0On which the old moonshin er’s daughter was quite proficient Running from the instrument was acord, which extended down into the sub-basement. When the rev enue men were about the girl would play vigorously on the organ, asd the cord would jangle a bell below, warning the fatherto keep close. and be on his guard. For years this scheme worked successfully, ux Bailey found the cord, and tracing it discovered the still. Huisey was placed under a $300 bond, which he had no trouble in making. His still plant was not of large capacity, but it was a good one. EEE ee “Murder ata Festival Near Clevcland. Salisbury Sun, oth. Sheriff Julian received a telegram tbis afternoon from Cleveland from Deputy Hodge Krider stating that he was on his way to Salisbury with seven prisoners. Mr. Krider went up to Cleveland yes- terday afteraoon on receipt of news by the sheriff that a negro had been killed there Thursday night and it is supposed that all these parties were implicated in the homicide. No particulars of the affair were given in the telegram but it is known that the murdered man’s throat was cut, after which he was shot. At3 o’clock this afternoon Mr. Krider came to town with his pris- oners, six in number. The men were brought. in a wagon by Mr. J H. Carson. When he started from the point at which they were tried there were twelve in the party under bond but six of them succeeded in giving bond before leaving Cleveland. Mr. Houston tells us that the af- fair occurred at the home of Alex McConnaughe,, who gave a festival to a number of his friends. When the row started Alex attempted to restore peace and was shot. After this his head was nearly severed from his body. Then followed a fusilade. Pistols, Knives, razors, rocks and sticks were used and scarcely a man in the party escaped injury. Mr. Carson tells us that at least twelve were either cut or shot, more or less seriously. - -. - Of the six men captured and brought to town today one was shot in the foot and one was badly injured by a blow or the head.

A‘ianta Constitut’on. “The south is properly supposed to be the habitat of the moonshi- ner.’’ said a revenue official yester- day. ‘In fact,to read the news- papers,one would conclude that illic it whiskey is made in no section of the United States save in the south. The publicisnot to blame for so thinking, for every story relating to moozshiners has its scene laidin the mountains of Dixie. In literature, the moonshbiner is distinctly a son of the southland. : “Asamaiter of fact, however, there is more moonshine whiskey made in New York city and in the suburbs of thegreat metropolis than in the entire south. The assertion may seem surprising, but it is a fact nevertheless. The eastside of New York is a bot bed of moonsbiners. There are hundredsof men in that section of the great city who make large sums of money by manufactur- iug whiskey ilicitly. “TEese New York moonshiners bave nothing in common with the mountain dew makers of the south save the desire to evade the revenue laws of thegovernment. The moon- shiner of the south isa citizen of the mountains, aud, like all dwellers in elevated regions, is characterized by certain manly traits which compei admiration. The New York moon- shiner is a denizen of the tenements, and there is little that is manly in his make-up. He is nearly always a foreigner and his appearance sug- gests the dynamite bombs of the an- archist rather than the traditional rifle of the southern moonshiner. “It ishot stuff—this New York moonshine whiskey. The moon- shine made in the mountains of Georgia is as the nectar of the gods compared to this concoction brewed in the New York tenement district. Our moonshiners make whiskey out of corn, and, when properly made, it is the best whiskey on earth. The New York moonshiners make their whiskey out of any old thing, and the result is the vilest draught that ever went down a humana throat. It is liquid fire—no less. Some sugar or molasses, plenty of waterand a few pounds of yeast are all that the New York moonshiner requires to turn out a whiskey which not only makes aman speedily drunk, but seems to kindle every vile instinct of his nature to white heat. ‘‘The New York moonshiner oper- ates in a cellar, ina room, anywhere, in fact, where cne would not expect to find an illicit still. He 1s usually assisted by his wife or daughter, and has been known to carry on the bus- iness for years without detection, His women folks generally peddle the stuff from tenement to tenement, selling by the drink or in whateyer quantities the buyer may desire. I have 2 friend in the revenue service in New York who writes me that the wife of one moonshiner carried the stuff—meore than a gallon of it— in a rubber belt about her waist. “Tt is much more difficult todetect these New York moonshirers than their southern brethren. Thelatter do their work in. their homes and are bothered by no waste. In the south a man familiar. with the odor can smell a still for miles. But in New York there are so many scents more powerful that the peculiar odor oi the still has little chance of being detected. i> © <a Jauuary Crop Report. The weather conditions during January were generally favorable for winter wheat, although adverse reports were received from Kansas, Missouri and Texas, of lack of mois- ture, and from Kentucky, West Vir- ginia. Peonsylyania. and Maryland, of injury by alternate freezing and thawing and lack ofsnow protection. At the close of the month the condi- tion of wheat was about the average in most sections excepting Michi- gan, Kentucky and Tennessee, not- withstanding continued reports of Gamage to the early sown by hessian fiv in some portions of Kansas, Mis- souri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Obio, and Virginia. The crop is suffering from drought in Texas and western Kansasand needs rain in some districts of Missouri. On the Pacific coast very favorable weather for the cereal prevailed and the con- di-ion of the crop continues excel- leat. the grain having germinated vicely, being well rooted and mak- ing healthy growth. Should Not be Done. Raleigh Correspondence Asheville Citizen. What is known as the Scott bill, which has passed the Senate. to the effect that only practical farmers can be on the board of agriculture, it is proposed to amend in the house by a provision that the secretary to the board ofagriculture shall be a practical farmer also. This is what may with entire accuracy be termed a “eneman amendment’’—in other words it is aimed at Thomas K. Bru- ner, the veteran secretary to the board. Your correspondent makes bald to say that the two men who have done more than any others in the State for its interests during the bast 16 years are State Geologist Holmes and Secretary Bruner, and that the latter is as invaluable to the board as to the State. Itis a pity that it is North Carolina “polities” to drag down and not to -build up. The fate of this amendment will be watched with interest. TD =e oe The Conditions in the Philippines. Manila Dispatch. ~The general situation,’’ in refer- ence to efforts towards pacification of the Philippines may be summed up ip two words, namely “slow pro- gress.’ The fact that progress is being made is fully apparent, but that it is slow is equally undeniable. In taking stock on the threshold of the new century the conquest of the Philippines is found to be still very far from actual accomplishment, with no eye witnesses of the conflict willing to hazard opinion as to atime when even a general peace is to be established. Such is the consensus of the views gathered by the Associated Press from military ond cival officials of h‘gh and lesser rank and from sol- diers, sailors and citizens, The Alimony Bill.

After the dis- astrous defeat of the Democrats in 1872 the Democratic party was con- sidered dead beyond any hope of resuscitation, and it only remained to dig the grave and inter the corpse. “Io 1874,’ Mr. Vest said, ‘the dead party came forth from the tomb like Lazarus, elected a majority of the Governors of States of the whole Union, including William Allen as Governor of Ohio, carried the House of Representatives by a large major- ity and in 1876 elected Tilden.’’ And in 1879 the Democrats had a majori- ty of eight in the Senate. Until the election of 1900 the parties had al- ternated 1n the election of Presidents since the election of Grant in 1872. In the present Senate there is a large Republican majori- ty, and that majority will be greatly increased after March 4. But the terms of ove-third of the Senators expire each two years, and it is sur- prising how rapidly the political complextion of a body composed of menelectel for six years can be changed under this system. The great Republican majority will make the party leaders reckless. The present Congress has been busy manufacturing issues for the Demo- crats to carry into the next cam- paigo, and the next Congress, with its increased Republican majority, will doubtless go onin the same work. Theship subsidy bill is op posed by leading Republican papers and the enormous appropriations have brought out cries of warning irom party leaders. Commenting on Senator Vest’s speech. The Boston Transcript, a strong paper, says: ’ If the analogy is not to extend to an overwhelming defeat following an overwhelming victory, the Republi- cans of to-day must display more prudence in their triumph than those of 1873 exhibited. The situation, ia our judgment, demands that the Republican majority should to-day act with prudence; should content themselves with the enactment of a legislative progamme moderate in both extent and characte, and should, above all things, show that they are independent of influeuces which are extra-constitutional. Their danger is to-day in their a parent sub-servience toa ‘‘bossism”’ which, if it isnot of nationa! scope, aims to be. In concluding his speech Senator Vest treated the Senate to a couplet of poetry. ‘‘Optimists,’’ he said, “who believe that present condi- tions will always obtain in the Unit- ed States have not read the political history of thiscountry. I commend tothem these brief reminiscences aad those prophetic wordsof Tenny- son: “The wind blows east and the wind blows west, And the blue eggs in the robin’s nest Will soon have wings and beak and breast, And flutter and fly away. SEE ee A Murder in Yadkin. Yadkin Ripple. A most horrible killing was com- mitted in this county last Saturday evening about 5 o’clock, on the premises of J.G. Ray, near Marler, as a result of which Andrew Pinnix, aged 40 years, is in his grave, and Henry Cheek, aged 30 years, lies in jail here awaiting trial‘on a charge of murder. Pinnix leaves a wife and several children, while Cheek has been married several months. The circumstances of the killing, as learned, are that Cheek went to adistiliery run by Pinnix, angry words were spoken in regard to an old grudge. but they afterwards be. came reconciled and drank together. Pinnix was then called outside to speak to some one and when he re- turned Cheek, who had placed a loaded shell in each barrel of a shot gun he had with him, was holding the gunin such a position as to cause Pinnix toask, ‘‘Are you yo- ing to shoot me?”’ “‘Not if you let me alone,” was Cheek’s reply. As Pinnix attempted to push the muzzle of the gua away from his direction Cheek pulled the trigger, the load going almost centrally through his body just below the breast bone. The deceased pitched forward and Cheek fired the other barrel blowing off the entire right side of the head and throwing a portion of the skull against the side of the house. Cheek then walked around a while, asked for and drank some whiskey in a composed manner, then remarking, “If anybody wants me, I will be at bome,”’ left. He was soon arrested. given @ preliminary trial and sevt to jail toawait the action of the grand jury. The remains of Pinnix were buried Monday. ee ree No Luw to Punish Mrs, Nation.

Williams, a man largely experi- enced in quelling feuds, who willact under orders from the Govenor and Adjutant General Murray. Colonel Williams is to take the first Battalion State Militia, under Captains Calhoun and Longmire, with one section of the artillery and two or three field pieces and proceed to the most convenient points in the mountains districts, and from there send out detachments to various points. 5 It is probable that London will be selected ‘for headquarters. This poict is within reach of Clay county, where there are probably more out- laws than in any other section, and of Belland Harlan counties, where are Berry Howard and John L. Pow- ers, indicted for participating in the assassination of William Goeble. Howard has about him a body guard of determined men, and has said he will neyer be taken alive. Warrants sent to the sheriff of Bell county have been returned with the entry ‘“‘not found’’ written across them, although the officials well know of Howard’s whereabouts and oneofthe deputy sheriffs has for several weeks been guide for a party of civil evgineers working in the county and was with Howard and his posse every day. John Powers is stillin Harlan couaty. He was arrested once, but the county judge turned him loose. It is predicted that'there will be bloodshed when thescldiers are sent after Howard and Powers, but Gov- ernor Beckham and his friends are determined, and since the superior foree method is the only practical cue it is to be restored to. It is be- lieved there is to be little difficulty in securing the arrest of any of the criminals save those accused of the Goeble murder. » V—_—— tee The Decrease of Marriages. News and Observer. Mr. Carrol D. Wright, Commis- sioner of Labor, says statistics show that of 17,425 represertatives work- ingmenin twenty cities, seventy- five percent of whom are under twenty-five years of age, 15,337 are unmarried. He says thisis ‘‘sim- ply appalling.”” In the “good old times”’ one half of these would have been married from three to five years The constant tendency to postpone marriage until late in life is largely due to the inhability of the average man toearn enough to support a family in accordance with the in- creased cost oi living. The Medical Journal thus comments on a situa- tion that Col. Wright calls appall- ing: “Several theories have been ad- vanced to account for this increas ing unpopularity of marriage. The statement that young men have be- come more shy and embarrassed in the presence of the modern go-ahead girl may have some truth in it. The present tendency is undoubtedly to cultivate self-assurance and inde- pendence in young women. and to encourage them to become self sup- porting. Many avenues are open to them; they can make a comforta- ble living and enjoy life. Many a woman, in faci. can make a better living for one than the majority of young men can make for two (with prospects of more) this situation tends tocheck marriage in two ways: First, it makes the women more jn- dependent of men, and, therefore, in second place, perhaps a trifle less attractive to them. Marriace is an odd affair anyhow. Itis iarrely a psychical business at the start, bas- ed upon a delicate and emotional in- Stinct; and all the logic and reason ofa progressive age canno: alter that fact. The pushing and nusiness- like modern woman is not conducive toit. The competition and the stress of modern lifearedeterrent to mat- rimony. Everyone can see this in his daily observation. How few men are able properly to marry be- fore they are thirty-five or forty. But by this time the girl compan- ions of their youth are almost fitted to become grandmothers.’ —_—_—_— oe The Subsidy Bill. Washington Correspondent Constits tion, Ihave tried to look at this bill from all sides and tosee haw under its operations there might be some benefit to the cotton or iron iodus- tries of the south or to the southern ports, but if any such resuits would follow, I confess I have been unable to find them. All that I can possi- bly see in it is the appro::riation from the treasury to certain very estimable gentlemen who own ships and are now operating them at a profit, of certain large sums of mon- ey which will increase their profits. With this increase of profits— which can only come from the pockets of the people, for it is direct appro- priation of government funds—they will be enabled to increase their shipping in such a way as to add to their profits. But howthis increase is going to benefit anybody else has not yet been made clear to me. Nor has it been made clear to a lot of republican senators and repre- sentatives. They feel that they have to vote for the bil! because of the interests back of it, butit is on- ly truth to say that even in the senate the hearty supporters of the measure are few and pretty far be- tween. The great mass of the re- publicans of the country do not see anything in this for themand there is no cry from the republican mass- es for the passage of the bill The influences back of it are very strong, but a great many republicans would rather not have to vote for it if they can get out of it. shops,’”’ modifying the tax upon cigars and cigarettes, and providing for a rebate on unbroken packages of tobacco, in addition to several others of a minor character, were adopted. An amendment sustitut- ing an income tax for the war reve- nue measure offered by Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, was rejected by a party vote, 21 to 38. Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, offered some amendments to the Military Academy bill, making svronger the phraseology of the committee’s a- mendment the relatia z to hazing. As agreed to hazing paragraph reads as follows: : “That the superintendent of the Military Academy shall make such rules, to be approved by the Secre-| tary of War, as will effectually pre- vent the practice of hazing, and any cadet found guilty of participatingin or encouraging or countenancing such practice shall be summarily expelled from the Academy and shall not thereafter be re-appointed to tke corps of cadetsor be eligible for appointment as a commissioned of- ficerin the army or navy.’’ The bill'as amended then was passed.

Masonic Jewels Returned. New Haven, Conn, Dispatch, 27tb, to Baltimore Sun. Members of the Masonic order in North Carollna are engaged in trac- jewels that were taken from the lodge room of the order in Trenton, N.C., August 8, 1862, by Northern soldiers during a raid. The story of the capture was to- Gay made public for the first. time by Lewis B. Brown, of this city, who was a corporal in the Tenth Connecticutt Volunteers. Brown, during the raid conducted under command of Col. Mix, of the Third New York Cavalry, found the jewels in the Masonic hall. He gave the rosewood box containing them to a major at the headquarters of Gen. J. G. Foster in comphance with his orders. The soldier did not know what the jewels in the box were un- til an officer informed bim that they were sacred to every Mason. Brown has learned that after much travel these 30-odd years the captured jew- els have been: returned. He has given the date of the raid, as requested by the Southern Masons. -—>-— e , The Inhumanity of Negroes.

In other words, practice a diversification of crops, using a systematic rotation. The old adage is a very good one that says, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”’ If the farmer stakes hisall on one crop, he may make some money or he may fall flat. But one thing he can be sure of, and that is, be will find his jand growing poorer and his crops beautifuily less from year to year. The Southern farmer must do away with so much hand labor and adopt improved machinery. The time has passed when the man who uses & grain cradle can compete with the man using the reaper and bind- er, even if the jatter has to sustain heavy freight rates and several com- mission fees. The man who puts four to six fur- rows in his cotton row with a bull- tongue plow cannot compete with one using a cultivator. They must lay aside prejudice and adopt oew methods or machines that. will save the dollars. It is true that some of these im- proved implements are costly, but they should be considered as are other investments. Last but not least, the North Carolina farmer is tco much inclined to have his smoke house over in Ii- linois instead of in North Carolina. aud the same can be said cf the farmers of the South generaliy. lf the hog is to be raised and fattened on corn, then the Illinois farmer can beat bim at the business and sell him his meat cheaper than he can raise it.

There may be other cases on record in which « father and sun bave served in Con gress, but it is doubtful if rhere is on record a case in which the father ana two sons have serre in Convress, or where two brothers bave represent ed districts in the same State at the same time. Itis seidom that the sons of promineat men achieve prom ineace with their father. North Carolina is a record-breaker in many respects, and itis no small disting tion to break a racord ia such an honoraole case as this. ag ne — >> <b An Important Suit.; Greensboro Dispatch to Post, 5th.

Allen,a Representative of the Legislature from West Stewart- stown, was asleep in hisroom at an apartment house on Sunday after- noon, when he was awakened by an intruder who made off with Mr. Al- len’s trousers, in which there was $31. The thief wasa ragged look- ing tramp, but Mr. Allen became thoroughly alive to the situation wher the wearing apparel disappear- ed throughthe door. Without wait- ing to get into street attire, Allen dashed down the stairway and out into the snowy worldin pursuit of the hobo. The other occupants of the house did not see the theif and formed the opinion that Mr. Allen bad become temporarily insane, and a telephone messaye was sent to the police. Meantime Representative Allen was doing a hot sprint up the main street, steadily gaining on those trousers. The tramp was no match for the lightylelad lawmaker, and inute chase Allen bad of the neck ng bis reseved trous- he tramp to the Repre aleey o aver ereps eren¢ utors and Sills passed: érnor to vat ure 1 ror &y after a nape ~ oo Dvil Days Ahead for Cigarcttes. ew York World | days are ahead fer the cigar- Investigation shows that the Levistatures in et least thirteen States are considering the adoption of more or less drastic anti-cigarette measures; that eleven States already have jaws cn their statute books prohibiting the sale of cigarettes, and that the W.

At 1lo’clock Thursday the House began the consideration of the im peachment of Judges Furches and Douglass The majority reportof the Judiciary Committee calling for impeachment; a minority, from Re- pubhicaus, a gains t it anda resolution of censure opened by Judge Connor were placed before the House Judge allen offered the argument in favor of impeachment He said it has now been two weeks siace the investigation was begun, It has been a burden that all men would shrink from assuming. It is 2 step that would not have been tak en bu: froma sens? of imperative duty. Lawyers above all men re spect ard regard the high station of them :mbersofthz judiciary. The su committee met and the first resolve was that they would neither draw nor discuss any conclusion until they had ascertained facts. They ex1m- ined ail witnesses available and trere was no disagreement in that com- mittee as to the facts. ‘‘We agreed to make no recommendation to the whole committee as to their action. When this report was made the com- mittee took it up. In that commit- tee there was no attempt made to force a conclusion on any member of the committee. We met three times and carefully deliberated on all these matters. Not an impassioned speech was made. Not a Demo cratic member of that committer has questioned the conclusion of fact and of law. The only suggestion of politics in that question came from Washington City and from the Re- publican member of the committee.”’ (Judge Alien kere recited the his- tory of the oyster legislation that led up to the mandamus _ issued and continued ) Continuing he said: “If the Supreme Court can compel the Treasurer of North Carolina to pay $800 what can prevent them from ordering the payment of $8,000,- 000."" The insignificence of the sum in question is not the issue. The great principle of the preservation of the reserved rights of the people, through their representatives is the question. They have committ- ed four distinct violations of the law. In violation of the direct pro- vision ofthe constitution they direct- ed and compelled money to be paid out of the Treasury, when the con- stitution and the Legislature have expressly forbid it. The power to impeach was put solely in the hands cf ibe House of Representatives be se the founders of the govera- ment wanted this power as near the people. A -court-c£impeachment is not to punish a criminal, but an in- quiry into the conduct of public of- ficers. if they have not done their duty and to see if the public service is being hurt or damaged. It is po litical inquiry into the conduct of public officers. We have taken aa oath to obey the constitution and we cannot escape the responsibility of making an investigation into the conduct of these judges. ‘High crimes and misdemeanors in office,’ are simply words thrown intoa charge of impeachment for the pur- poses of greater solemnity. Just as for merely indictments for murder, “‘moved and instigated by the de- uial, ete.,’’ were put in to give great- er Cignity and sericusness to the charge. The question of intent has nothing todo with tbis inquiry. The ignorant violation of our con- stitution can damage as much as the wilful violation of it. But if you read the evidence you will see these judges shufiling on the bench as to how they should act. Hear the lawyer in a newspaper article saying they were dodging and he would bring them to time. And he did bring them to time. What a humiliating spectacle. Read the report of the committee. ‘The manner iv which this order was 1s sued indicates to our minds that the judges who directed it be issued did not think they had the power,’’ etc. I do not wish to say anything worse about these men. [shall not do so. l only occupy the position I do be. cause I have taken an oath to obey the constitution and protect it from infringement and annulment. I am sorry to see a resolution of impeach- ment passed against an old manor apy man, but neither age nor posi- tion should draw sympathy alone, suflictent to justify mein taking a strai sht course ofduty. Thereis no disagreement as to the fact that these judges vivlated the constitu- tion. Icannot agree with the posi- tion of Judge Connon, whom I so highly regard and have so often fol- lowed “Tf these men are guilty they should be impeached.

Judge Connor closed the discussion for Thursday as follows: “Connor said this was no place to make appeals for mercy. He sccu pied a different position from others on the floor. As amember of the sub committee he went as far as he could go and had to part with his friends. He was not embarrassed at all at his position and had noapology | tomake. No cne here questions really the honesty of Judge Furches. It has been inferred that the note sent Clerk Kenan by Furches was intended to place the clerk in a false position, and to sheild himself. I am satisfied in the light of recent in- formation that Furches honestly thought Kenan had prepared the writ, since it was typewritten. I believe the conclusion the com- mittee -came to is correct. The manner in which this order was is- sued was not judicial and was un- dignified. Ihave no words of ex- cuse for it. I was astonished and aggrieved when I became satisfied “Th Cau be safe in business or the other mat- ters. Wedo not sit asa grand jury. A courtof impeachment is one tc which we should not resort except in extreme cases. The question with us should be, is there overrul ing necessity or demand for im- peachment proceedings? Is it wise in the absence of this neccessity or demind to continue the course we have pursued? 1n 1870, when ihe Chief Justice refused to grant a writ of habeas corpus, the succeeding Legislature seriously discussed lis impeachment, but wise men of that day thought it wisest not to impeach the Chief Justice and subsequent events showed their wisdom. “‘If I were a member of the Senate, with this case on trial before me, I should listen ts no-outside suggestion as to my duty. In this House I do tisten to advice and counsel of wise men of my State, and many of tnem have written me andimpressedme May we not make a mistake to follow this matterfurther? Is it necessary to say that North Carolina is the only State in the Union that has im- peached its Chief Justice and anoth er member of its highest court? When Chief Justice Pearson died and his whole judicial record was invest- ivyated men pronounced eulogies on his life who in 1870 were clamoring to drive him from the judgment seat. Letus pause. Let not our fears for the integrity of the constitu ticnalamerdment lead us into doing that which o‘herwise we would not ‘have done. Those who differ wiih me have pursued the course they haue from the high sense of duty and the same sense of duty has dictated my position.’”’ Connor spoke an hour and a half and at bis conclusion at 6.45 p. m. the House adjurned un- til 10 o'clock Friday. The House galleries were packed again Friday to listen to arguments in favor of impeachment by Roun- tree, Winston, Hoey, Spainhour aud Smith; against it by Duls, of Meck- lenburg, Simms, Richardson, Me- Lean and others. But no action was taken. Twelve specches were delivered Saturday—six on each side. Those who spoke for impeachment were Messrs. Whitaker of Forsyth, Curtis. Robinson of Anson, Blalock, Stew- artand Jenkins. Those who spoke in apposition were Messrs. Yarbo- rough, Patterson, Morgan, White- ker of Cuilford, Sheets and Berbow. An agreement was finally reached for a vote at 2 o’clock Monday. —_——_ A History of Geitysburg. Wilmington Messenger. If the Legislature did not bave so much on hand to tax their ability and industry the Messenger would venture to givea hand as to one thing mech needed in behalf of North Carolina history and our brave men who fought at Gettysburg, and par- ticulary on the third day. It would be highly becoming if the Legisla- ture shouldappropriate a sum sufti- cient to have a full, clear complete history written of the part takeu by North Carolinain the great three day’s battle of Gettysburg.

Sali ecea ns naan >iodern Slavery in South Carolina. Spartanburg S. C., Dispatch, z5th. The state of Scuth Carolina iscon- fronted with a monumental scandal. The convict lease system has been used to cover up practical slavery, and Anderson county was the first to develep the facts. Judge Benet in a special charge to the grand jury at Anderson characterized the sys- tem of labor practiced on some of the farms ofthemost prominent men of Anderson county as a shameful practice and has instructed the grand jury to investigate fully. He has called a special term of court for March 7th to have full report. This action of Judge Benet in taking un a matter that has been talked among the people and printed in newspa- pers will serve to cause the practice to be investigated elesewhere. Ii is not confined to Anderson. The exposure came aboye the in- cictment of W S. Newel for murder. He killed a negro, who tried to es cape from a stockade. He was tried and acquitted. It developed that the negro had not been arrested was not tried and was working on Newell’s place under a peculiar form of contract originating in Anderson The laborer, by the contract, binds himself to work foran employera specified time, agreeing to submit to the rules of the farm and not at tempt to escape. If he escapes, a reward of $2) isto be offered and when caught the laborer works out the $25 and all experses incurred in the capture. Heis subject to the rules and the employer is authorized to use such force as is deemed neces- sary to make the laborer remain on the farm and do satisfactory labor. The employer has the right to trans- for his contract. Attention was publicly called by editorial in The Aoderson Mail, which called out many reports. Judge Benet’s charge was strong. fle gave the jury power to send for persons and papers. He said it vw ould be interesting to know whose acumen framed the contract. He saidit was practical slavery. On some farms where tkere are stock- ades not asingle convict is leased 2nd unfortunate negroes secured on 2 charge of a trival crime are kept. D> +>: <a Lawlessnesrs Breeds Lawlessness.

The saloon men are said to Lave resolved at one of their sessions not to ship out their liquor, but to stay and fightit out. If they do bloodshed is certain. Rev.

He seid thatif the mob would lead he would follow and help to tie the noose around their necks if he was sure they were the guilty parties. Yet these are the very people who have beea over-solicitous about the pespile of the south, ever ready to reform abroad, but sadly needing it themselves.

The warrant was sworn out by the Moser Cold Storage Company, whose plant Mrs. Nation entered yesterday morning. Mrs. Nation acted as her Judy Hazen placed her under $2,000 bond to keep the peace and ordered her toappear at the next term of court. Mrs. Nation refused to give the bond and is now detained in the hospital room of the county jail. Io the city court argument was given in the ease brough: against Mrs. Na tion by the proprietors of the wreck- ed Senate Saloon. Decision was re- served until Thursday morning. It is not likely that Mrs. Nation will be able to give bond, because she deciares that she will immediate- ly resume her smashing crusade.

Havana Dispatch, 18, th Lee en The special committee appointed by the Cuban constitutional conven- tion to draw up a proposition defin. ing the future relations between the repulic of Cuba and the United States was in conference all day with theother members of the con- vention in an endeavor to get the opinion of the majority as to what action should be taken regarding the suggestions offered by Governor General Wood Saturday. The ques tion of naval stations is still the chief subject of controversv. Probably the committee will submit a reper! tomorrow leaving out any reference to this matter and also omitting any references to the right of the U nited States tointervene at any time for the preservation of order. It is considered that the lutter question is covered by the treaty of Paris ang that moreover it would pe a siur up on the efficiency of the future gov erement to admit the possibility of a necessity for American interference. The odjection to naval stations is not looke@ uvon in this light, be: the delegates dv not wish to give their adherence to an arrangement involving a specific stipulation as to naval stations. Many say that if the United States government wishes naval stations in Cuba it can take them and there will be no objection; but the convention, going on theas. sumption that the United States wil] take the initiative, is not disposed to make a formal concesssion. eS To Cortail Prceducticn.

Heretofore what is known as the budget has not had a clear place ip the American mind. We all knew that appropriations were beingmade, and sometimes we would think that some obscure river got a trifle too much, but in the main we were wil- ling to pay the bill and the matter passed off. : : A few years ago, in the closing days of a Congress, it was figured up that one billion dollars had been appropriated, whereupon quite an aeaaaae set up. The members of that Congress had a tendency to fu- ture retirement and many aew faces were seen in the kalls thereafter. That was the first time the people began to realize whata budget was —the sum total of appropriations solemnly declared to be necessary. The other day the Senate drifted into a coaversational mood. The subsidy billhadtaken a lull, and, just to be saying something, Sena- tor Morgan asked Senator Aldrich what he bad in his budget. “The appropriations, including those that are general appropria- tions, will be $760,000,000 this year, I think,’’ Mr. Allison replied. “Regular appropriations?’’ Mr. Morgan asked in astonishment, Mr. Allison replied: ‘Regular appropriations, including what are usually brought forwardin the esti- mate as permanent appropriations. Of course, that will include the in- terest On the pubdlic debt and proba- bly fifteen or twenty million dollars which will not bediverted. Of reg- ular appropriations, which may be expended the next fiscal year there will be $700,000,000.”’ “‘T have the impression,’’ declared Mr. Hale, ‘‘that the appropriations this year, including what are reck- oned miscellaneous appropriations, will be nearer $800,000,000 than $700,000,000.”” By this time the Senators had huddled closer together in a group, for the air was sultry, and Mr. Alli- son went on: “They will be, including the per- manent appropriations, but no one can say now what the estimates of miscellaneous appropriations will be, nor can anyone say what the river and harbor appropriations will be. The estimate I make of $760,- 000,000 includes only $1.000,000 for miscellaneous appropriations. Of course they will be larger than that.”’ “They will be very much more than that,’’said Mr. Hale impres- sively. “They probably will be $10,000,- 000,’’ Mr. Allison admitted. ‘The deficiencies are estimated at about $30,000,000. They may be more. In round numbers the appropriations for the next fiscal year probably will be from $760,000, 000 to$780,000,000.”’ ““We have not found any place yet where we could cut anything,’’ said Mr. Hale. “The tide, immensely swollen heretofore, is more swollen and more turbid.’’ “And still rising,” interjected Mr. Spooner: “And still rising, ”’ repeated Mr. Hale. “And rapidly rising,”’ Mr. Allison said. Mr. Hale repeated Mr. Allison’s words and added: “‘We were shocked at the idea of a billion-dollar Congress, and before we know it we will nave a_billion- dollar session.”’ Then Mr. Teller spoke: “I believe the Senator from Maine is nearer right than is the Senator from Iowa when he says that the appropria- tions will amount to $800,000,000, As the_military budget for the coming year willbe over $400,000,- 000 and the appropriations of the first session were about 700,000,000, it will be seen that we now have a two billion dollar Congress divided into one billion sessions. We have the usual tariff taxes, and, from pres- ent appearances, there will be no relief from the war reyenue taxes, So that the squeeze upon the private pocket will be more vigorous than ever. ‘The figures quoted do not in- clude the $270,000,000 set aside for the ship trust nor other huge appro- priations which have not as yet reached the enacting stage. _ The country must be prosperous, judging from the pace set. SS oan eel airllinsta Tbe Subsidy and Cotton Goods. - Columbia State. We regard the attempt to delude the South into supporting this sub- sidy grabas a barefaced thimble- rigging game. As we pointed out months ago when it was first made prominent, itisa scheme for the further enrichment of the great Northern steamship lines, and there is no evidence that it will bring a single steamer to Southern ports. We also took occasion to say that if our cotton manufacturers desired to enter foreign markets—a course we have long urged in their interest— they could with great ease put on lines of steamers from Southern ports for direct trade with those countries of the world with which we now have deficient means of trausportation. It would be en- tirely practicable. we said, for the cotton manufacturers of South Car- olina to club in, hire tramp steamers and start a line from Charleston to all South American ports, thereby opening to themselves a trade which heretofore they have ignored while clamoring for the open door in Chi- na. Nothing is clearer to our mind than that this subsidy bill if passed, will make the multi-millionaires of the North richer and do no good whatever to the South. Senator McLaurin does not know kalf as much about the cotton mill industry in South Carolina as The State does and weare not prepared to accepthim as a guide in this matter, the more particularly as we suspect him of being himself guided by Mark Han- Da. Does it Pay to Buy Cheap? A cheap remedy for coughs 3 colds is all right, but oa wane something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous re- sults of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go toa warmer and more regular climate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in either case take the Oniy remedy that has been introduced in|2 ‘all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, “Boschee’s German Syrup.” It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflammation; causes easy expectoration rest, and cures the patient.

The sub-committee that has been preparing the revenue act to be passed by this General Assembly completed its work yesterday and will to-morrow afternoon submit it to 2 joint meeting of the finance committees of both houses, The bill, as shown in the estimate, will bring into the public treasury somewhere from $J,300.000 to $1,- 400,000 annually as against $1,012,- 000 under the old reyenue act. The poll tax remains the same as heretofore ($1.29). As to the tax on property, the sub-committee is di- vided. Some want the tax forState purposes to remain 217 centsand the tax for pensions to be 2}. Others insist on a tax of 20 cents for State purposes and 5 cents for pensions. Tbe tax for school purposes is to remain the same as under the old These make an ag- gregate of 43 cents, no matter which pension tax is adopted. _ The section of the bill in regard to banks requires the cashier of each bank to make return to the State Auditor of all its shares of stock and the State Auditor is required to assess each share at its market value, if it has any, and if it has none it must be returned at its actual value. On this assessment the State tax is paid to the State Auditor, who cer- tifies to the officials of each county the number of shares owned in it and their value, andit ison this valua- tion that the holders of the stock must pay tax. Another new departure in the aew act is the levy ofa tax on corporate loans, under which the treasurer of each corporation, county or city, having bonds outstanding is requir- ed tocollect and pay to the State Treasurer the State tax on the bond- ed indebtedness of the corporation, in case such bonds are held by resi- dents of the State. the treasurer of each such corpora- tion, county or city, deducting from the interest on the bonds when paid the amount of the State tax. Building and loan associations are required to pay the same tax as for- law (18 cents). This is done by A new method of assessing corpo- rations is devised by requiring the treasurer of each corporation to make a report to the State Auditor, information from which the value of the stock in the corporation may be ascertained. On this assessment, fixed by the State Auditor, the corporation pays the tax to the State Treasurer, and shares of stock in such corporation areexempt from further tax for State purposes, but as in the case of banks, the Auditor is: required to certify back to the counties in which stock is held the number of shares, by whom owned and the value per On this valuation local taxes are to be paid. An inheritonce tax,similar to that now in force in Pennsylvania, is an- other new feature of the bill. section isin no way similar to that contained in the revenue act of 1897, being levied only on personal prop- erty. Allestates under $2,000 are exempt and the tax is graduated ac- cording to *the size of the legacy (above $2,000) and according to the kinship of the devisee tothe deced- For instance, there is no tax oa property left to husband or wife. No others are exempt, but the tax is very small on bequests to children, brother, sister, father or mother. Quite a change is made in the in- come tax feature of the old law. Every taxpayer is required to state his entire income and from that amount the tax-lister is authorized to deduct all exemptions. exemptions are $500 and the income from property already taxed. This is graduated as follows: giving certain wR rs of 10,c00 and over. The theatre tax is slightly chang- ed soas to apply tosmaller towns, The horse dealer section j ed so as to levy a tax of $1 ery company of gypsies living in teats or wagons and trading horses or telling fortunes. of the section is inte hibitive, drivin from the State. Mercantile agencies are required to pay a tax of $200 to the State Treasurer, and no county, town can levy any additio There wasin the oldlaw a tax on these agencies, but it was defective in some way and hence no income has ever been derived from it. This latter part ended to be pro- g this class of people $250 a year for each county in which they have an office. On a brewery or the agent of a orewery for bottling or distributing beer, $200 a year.

There is no tax for a person selling wine of his own manufactuae. A tax of $1 on each member is levied on social clubs. A change has been made in the dispensary tax. They have heretce fore been taxed a specified amount- In the new bill they are required to pay 75 per cent of the profit to the county and 25 per cent to the State. A tax is levied on pistol dealers, and a tax will he levied on either the dealer or the manufacturer of cigar- ettes—probably the latter. On dogs a tax of and 50 cents on eac owned by the same person. Instead of the merchant’s purch- ase tax a merchant’s license tax on sales has been adopted: On retail- ers, 5 cents on each $100; on whole salers, 2} cents on each $100.

There are over 4,- 000.000 acres of cotton land in Texas and 246,000 in Oklahoma, credited last year with 78,000,000 pounds, while 100,000,000 pounds came from Diversification of industries, es- pecially of crops, isa duty which the old south cannot longer delay.

The committee having the matter in charge was directed to form ten Gistriets, all Democratic if possible, on the basis of the last Congression- ai vote. There was considerable discussion before the question was decided, some members favoring the policy of leaviny the districts as they are now for the next two years and electing a Congressman at large.

Raleigh Letter to Constitution 22nd. : An extraordinary case of misias- enidentity has just been developed here before Justice Montgomery, of the supreme court, in the case of George Johnstone, a white man, who has been unlawfully confined in the penitentiary for the past eight years. x ne #ifteen years ayo a young white nan by the name of Christopher “etchler was convicted in Shkeloy, N. ©. of an avgravated caseot steat- og, and was sentenced to ten years 2 the peniventiary herein this ci'y Becthler was the gon of Germanfpur- s who had resined formany years n tbe town of Rutherfordten. His other—August Bechler—was a jew ver. Afier gold was discovered in tutherford, Burke and McDowell -ounties, in 1849, old man Be:chler was authorized oy act of congress to svin gold dollars, and he bought the iust from the mivers and coined it nto dollars as high as the fifty-doi iar piece. ‘A. Betchler’’ was stamp- 24 on each coin. Af:er the war the Betchler family moved to Spartanburg, S.C. There were several sons and daughters. “Chris,’’ 2s he was called, turned put co be the “black sheep”’ of the dock. After he was sent to the pen- iwentiary be remained there two years and then made his escape. In 1893 Captain J. M. Fleming. who was warden of the penitentiary when ‘‘Chris”’ Betchler was received there, and who held this positicn until 1895, was in attendance on the superior court of Randolph county, at Asheboro, as a witness. While there aman known as George Jobns- tone was the plaintiff iu acase which involved the title to 700 acres of land on which gold in considerable quan- tity had been found. Flemizg saw this man ond made inquiries concern- ing him, and found that he had lo- cated in Randolph county some time during 1888. It was in 1887 that Beichler escaped from the penitea- tiary. Fleming was positive that Johnstene was “‘Chris’’ Betchler and so stated. Oa the trial of the land case Jobnstone was asked if he was aot “Chris”? Betchler, and if he had cot been convicted of stesling ir Shel- oy in 1885 and sentenced to the pen- ttentiary for ten years, and had es- saped therefrom in 1887? Of course Johnstone denied bitterly all this and said he was an entirely different man from Betchler. Thedefendants in the land case had Johnstone ar- rested as an escaped prisoner. Johrstone sued out a writ of habeas corpus but could not prouce any wit ness beside himself to disprove the positive assertion of Fleming that he was ‘“‘Chris’’ Betchler, and the judge refused to discharge him and ordered that he be returned to tke penitentiary. Thearrest and decis- ion of the judge caused Johnstone to lose the land suit. As soon as Johns- tone reached the penitentiary he gent for a lawyer, but had no money topay him. He gavethelawyer the uddress of a number of peonle in Montgomery county and that of a man in Atlanta, whom he said knew him and would swear he was not Betchler. The lawyer wrote twice «o each of these parties and did not receive an answear to a single letter ‘hat he wrote. The failure to have his letters returned or to receive an answer from either of the parties to Som he bad written did not impress the lawyer in favor of Johnstone and 12 gave no More attention to the Mour weeks ago Colonel Ceber tlarris, a man of seventy-nine f ho forme ¥ tton and knew the Betch- ler faraily well, went tothe pepiten :, which is carried on inside the While in the yard he saw ail white man at work and inquir- ed who he wes und was told that it was “Chris’’ Betchler. Colozel tlarris then asked and was allowed to taik with the prisoner. He srat- ed to Colonel Harris the fazts herein stated as to his identification as “Chris.’’ Betchler and asked Harris if he knew Betchier. Harris replied that he bad known all the family for fifteen years befor the war and while thev lived in Rutherfordton. He was then asked if he, the prisoner. was ‘‘Chris."’ Betchler, and Harris unhesitatingly declared that the prisoner was not Betchler. A law- yer was then employed and another writ of habeas corpus was issued by Justice Montgomery and the prison- er was brought before him. Captain Fleming swore that he believed the prisoner to be ‘Chris.’’ Betchler, acd tbat he had known him as a prisoner in the penitentiary for the two years he was in the penitenti- ary. That he bad escaped and re- mained at large until 1893, when he was arrested at Asheboro aad re- turned tothe prison, and that the resemblance of the prisoner to Betchler was very striking. Colonel Barris was then put on the witness stand and teld of the young boy “Cbris.”” Betchier he had known be- fore the war for fifteen years; bow ne hud seen Lim grow up to be a manu, and thathe knew him perfect- ty well and could not be mistaken, and the prisoner before the court i “Chris.”’ Betch!er, and thar se he had seen the prisoner in the veaitentiary he had thought themat r Over aud had talked with his wife j about the case, and that there was u toat would certainly show sr tue prisouer was Betcbler, then asked prisover to } he tke exuminatio: i.

Much time was spent: in discussing the bill to revise the cor- poration law, which finally passed. The bomestead biil passed its final readiny in the Senate, afcer the fol- lowing remarks had been made. Senator Henderson arose aud stat- ed that he hoped the Senate would carefully consider the step they were taking before passing this biilas it stood. Hedeclared that it wouid Cuntiscate juayments, and compel every judywens creditor who bas Oviained &@ jJudymect sinee Marci lit, 1885, to institute new suits, io order to huid the judgments thes now possess; that the billsaid howc- steads must be allotted, in cases oi judyments agaiast homesteaders “within two years” after the enact- meat of this law. Unless judgment ereditors sus out new judgment iien, those who hold judements obtained since March J1th, 1885, and now alive against homestead iusteres:, would have no protection. The judzment creditors, headded. are entitled to some rights, and I do vot believe the Senate desires to pass this bill as it now stands, ana as it passed its second readin yes terday. My bili(whichsimply made plain the existing laws oa the sub ject) has not only been killed, but killed by a suostitute that works a great injustice, that confounds the law and Ceprives judgment creditors of rights which the existing law gives them. IfI had thought any such result as this would have been reached I would r.ever have attempt- ed the task at all. Senator Gudzer also thought it wrong to fore2 judgment cxeditors “to put more yood money.after bad money”’ through the expense enrail- ed by uew suits to hold what they have in the way of liens, ete. Senator Vann then settled the con- troversy by sending forward an amendment"that the running of the Statute of Limitations shall be sus- pended, not only as to judgments under which the homestead is al- loted, but as toalt other judgments.”’ House: To prevent usecf profane language before women; to extend the stock law; to prohibit tne man- ufacture of whiskey in Clay county. Bulls passed: Zo promote and protect the oyster industry of North Carolina; to charter the Marion and Northwestern railway; toamend the las relating to board ofhealth. This changes term of office of county phy- sician from one to two years; creates a county sanitary committee com- posed of two pbasicians and the county commissioners; and changes term of members cf board of hesith from four years to six years. Saturday, 23rd—Senate: Bills in- troduced: To allow Watauga to ievy Special tax; to appoint a board of education for Yadkin county. Billspassed: To protect and pro- mote the oyster industry; Senate bill to amend chapter 198, laws of 1889, for the relief of certain ex-Con- federate soldiers and widows (the pension bill) came upat noon as a special order. London explained that this bill differed from the pres ent law in thatit gavea pension to soldiers who had become disabled or diseased since the war. This bill gives $72 to first class; $60 to secon; $48 to toirdand $30 to fourth. The peesent law ailows respectively to these classes $100, $75, $50 and $25, but said class did not receive this fullamount Wor imsianes, the first vet ouly 353 and tbe fourth only $1450. He said 3112.000 was paid for pensions last yearand this bill vives $200 009, After several short speeches, this dill was passed by an unanimous rising vote; Ward’s anti-trust bill sed unanimously. (It is modeled after the Zexas law); to preven: killing pariridves in Rowan county; to prevent sale of whiskey ia Bun comde county except in incorporated towns; Board of Agriculture was requested to make exhibits at Butia lo and Charleston exhibits. Bill to prevent school teachers using to- bacco failed to pass. The impeachment managers then, at 2:18, entered, followed by the en- tire House, aad stood in front of the President's chair. Judge Aiien, of Wayne, was recoyznized as spokes- man and said: ‘‘The House of Rep- resentatives has adopted artisles of impeachment evainst David M. Furches, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Robert M. Douglas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. We now preseat to the Senate thearticles of impeach- ment and ask that they be read and the Senate take action there::n.”’ Sergeant-at-Arms Smith then cried: ‘‘Ob, yes, ob, yes, a!l persons are required to now keep silent and hear the articles of impeachment against,’ etc. : The articles were read by Mr. Walter Murphy, of Salisbury, with excellent intonation and good voice.

Havana Dispatch 23d, : The Cuban constitution, first sub- mitted by the central committee to the convention at the public session ofJanuary 21, was signed today. One copy was sent to Governor Gen- eral Wood and the other placed among the records of the convention. The attendance was not large. At 5 o’clock the members affixed their signatures, tbe president and vice president leading off, the two secre- taries signing last. Senor Cisneros created a sensation by refusing to sign it. He said: “Cuba is now in- dependent, and Lean see no reason for send is constitution to the os for acceptance. The ‘ government has no right pass apon it, for itis a dis- tinctly Cuban document and was drawa up by this convention, which nas assumed the respossibility of establisbing the republic. “Several delegates argued with him, but he wasimmovabls. As thadele- vates retired, Senor Tamayo remark- ed: **We are all Cubans, senor.’ and Senor Cisneros replied: ‘‘Yes, when the timecome to fight the Americans, we will fight them together.’’ ‘Then he turced taward the press table aud, shaking his fist at the Ameri- can newspaper men, he said: ~The Americans are like the monkey When the monkey closes its paw on a thing it never wants to let go. , Subsequently he said he would sign the copy of the constitution thar bad been filed with the records of the convention, out would wait until the other had been sent to Washingron. Senor Capote, president of thecon- vention, will deliver the document to General Wood at: the palace, to- morrow morning, at half past 9 o'clock. General Woed and his siaff will receive formerally the com- missicu charged with the duty of preventing the constitution. The latter will be translated, and a copy in English will be sent to Washing- ton with the original. Probably the translation will not be ready before Monday. This afternoon General Wood sent a personal letrer to Senor 2mayo, chairman of the special committee on relarions, outlining the suggestions receiyed from Secretary Root, but pointing out that these were only expressioas of the opinion of the executive department as to what the p2opie of Cuba shou!d de sire to have established and agreed upon between the United States and Cubs and should not be taken as an official declaration of the Unired States, it befng necessary to refer the whole matter to Congress. _ Thespecial committee on relations has not yet decided what report it will make. Another meeting has been calied for tomorrow. Govern- or Genrera! Wood will appointa committee, consisting of two mer- chants, two Americans and Collect- tor Bliss, as chairman, to revise the tariffs. A supplementary revision will be first madeand submitted to merchants in Havana and the United States for sugyestions.

The difficulty arose over tbe cut ting of some meat. When Avers objected to this Plyler or one of bis friends paid for the meat and Piyler applied a vile epithet to young Ayers. Ayers ardered himto re- tract this asd when he refused todo and (as Ayers states) put his i o HanG on his pocket as if to wet a gun, Ayers shot, as stated. The da:l was probed for but not located but it is thought the wound is a dangerous one. Lazenby Bros. Lose by Fire in Salis- bury. Salisbury Truth-Index, 24th. F Yesterday evening between 3and+ o’clock the beautiful unfinished res- fidence of Mr. M S. Brown caught on fire and was damaged considera- bly by the fireand smoke. The ex- act extent of the damage is not yet known, thoughit is probably $500, of which amount about $300 was covered by insurance. The loss will not fall upoa Mr. Brown but up- on Mr. Lazenby, the contractor. Nobody seems to know how the fire started, accounts being very meagre. The fire company did good work and saved the handsome structure. : After the fire was extinguished Mr. Theo. Fraley, a painter, light- ed a cigarette and threw the burn- ing match ina gasolene can. There was immediately a terrific explosion and it blew the can oyer the house, scattering the firey conteats over Mr. Fraley and burning his hands intoacrisp.

Tuesday afternoon Brice Millis, who works iu Stecie’s fouudry, was standing up ouastep ladder lacing the beit that is used to run his ma- chine. Near him about 10 feet from the floor ran the main liae of sbaft- ing. In some way the sleeve on his left arm caught on a set screw on this shafting andia a moment his arm was beivg weund around the shaftinog while his body was being whirled cver and over with every revolution of the shaft, striking his feet against the joists overhead as it turned. Twoor three of his fellow laborers dashed to the engine room to stop the engine while the others could only stand in an agony of dread. Ina very brief time the ma- chinery was stopped and young Willis was tenderly freed from the shafting; and taken to the office where his wounds were dressed by Drs. Long, Adams and Campbell. The left arm is broken in two places, both above and below the el- bow. The left collar bone is broken and his left shoulder fractured be- sides other bruises and contusions. His escape from death is almost marvelous. Itis probable that the pelt, which he was lacing, by wrap- ping around him and holding him to Opposition ro we revenue bil! having found expressivs of the chamber of commerce was called last ‘Ihursday afi:ernoon anda number cf the citizzos gathered there to formally express their op- position to the measure as thea framed and to appoint a committee to go to Raleigh and appear before the committee of the Legislature having theactincharge.

The Cail today. basing its figures on the statement of the Pacific mail steamship off- cials, says 122 persons perished. The Chronicle gives the number as 128 end the Examiner states that 111 cannot be accounted for. The vessel with its valuable cargo will be a total loss. The bodies of eleven victims lie at the morgue. Only seven have been identified. The identified remains are those of Mrs. Sarah W.

The House was the scene of a sen- sational incident late this aftercoon, which threw that body into aviolent state of excitement. For an hour the storm raged, ending abruptly, when au adjournment was taken on motion of Mr Payne, the floor lead- erof the majority. Mr. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat, who has created many seasations during his service in the House, stirred the Democrats to a fever pitch by rising toa ques- tion of privilege and alleging that a speech he had turned over to the Public Priater under general leave to print, had been withbeld from The Record, and had been turned over to General Grosvenor, of Ohio, oy the Speaker. It wasan attack upon Senator Hanna and the meth- ods by which he was elected to the Senate. The Speaker explained that it had been represented to him that the speech violated the privileges of. the House and he had directed that it be withheld until he could look over it. the main shaft aided in his escape.

Why He Was so Attentive to the Old z Fashioned Customer. Puilcdelphia Press, He is a quaint, o!d fashioned gen- tleman in a high collar and a quaint, old fashioned cravat, and: he dines four times a wees in a centrally lo- cated restaurant, where waiters ip evening dress serve fingerbowls with your checks. Wheneyer the old gentleman ap- peared in the palm veiled doorway. acertain waiter detaches himself from the group of ebony hued servi torsin the back of the room and hurries to he!p him shed bis over ecat and to get settled comfortably at a table. re The old gentleman scorns the biil of fare. The waiter seems so know instinctively what things to bring for the while haired guest’s delec- tation. With an almost fostering care he tiptoes about the table dur- ing the meal,anticipating thediner'’s slixhiest wish, even to the extent of salting the puree and carving the meats into mouth size portions. The ruler of seven principalities at his royal meal could not be better at- tended. é Dinner over, the waiter brings the old gentleman’s hat, helps him on with his overcoat, places the gold headed cane in his hand and bows him out. For months the patrons of the restaurant have watched the pretty formality that always attends the old gentleman’s visits. And in all of these months they have seen no tip pass from the guest to the dusky waiter and ro indication that the waiter notices the omission. : ‘Jim,’ said a patron to the wait- er one day, ‘‘whois the old gentle- msn?” “Just an old friend of de fambly, sah,’’ said Jim. 2 The pretty cashier knows ail about Jim and his family friend. One Gay, abouta year ago, two genuemen took seats at Jim’s table. Ail through the meal Jim listened to their conyersation. ‘*Ain’t you gemmen from de souf?”’ he asked as he held the match for his guests’ cigars. The older man at the table nodded. “JT thought so,"’ said Jim. ‘I’m from de souf too. men come from Car-liny?”’ Yes, the gentlemen came from to be Carolina—South Carolina, exact. “Dar’s wharI was born,’’ Jim. *bout a mile.”’ “TIndeed!’’ said the old genteman, becoming imterested. “Yes, sab. b’long to ole Mr. Langdon. Ge wah broke out.”’ ‘‘What was your mother’s name?”’ asked the old gentleman. **Mary Liza, sah.”’ ‘*H’m,’’ mused the old gentleman, ‘IT used to own a Mary Eliza down there. She had two boys, I think— one ramed Alex, other named Jim. Big yaller woman she was and the best cook on the far side of Rich- mond.”’ The waiter nearly dropped a Ge- canter in his excitement. ‘“‘What’s the matter, you black hound?’’ asked the old gentleman, with more kindness ir his voice than in his words. ‘-Nuffin’s de mattah, sah,’’said the waiter. ‘Only I’ze Jim.”’ re A Woman's Hotel. Harper’s Weekly. The Woman’s Hotel Company in New Yorkis reported to have bought land in East Twenty-ninth street. near Madison avenue, and to have definitely determined to put up a modern hotel big enough to hold 500 women ard make them comfortable. ‘he project has been haaging fire fora good while, and the evidence that it will now be put through is not quite convincing yet. It is said that the company has subscriptions amounting to $300,000 with whichto start. Similar hotels are averred to be in successful operation in Phils- celphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston acd Baltimore, but possibly even that does not assure success in New York. The idea is to furnish better board and lodging to lone working women than they can get elsewhere. There are 60,000 or 70,000 self-sup- porting women in New York, and they have not so wide a choice of lodging asmen have. For bachelor- meu apartment houses rise up now by the dozen in all parts of the town, but comparatively few ap- partment houses let rooms to unmarried women, and in those that do the rents are usually higher than working women can af- ford. The projectors of this pew hotel aim to provide board and lodg- ing for their tenants at prices rang- ing from about $6 a week up. They anticipate yearly receipts from their hotel of about $270,600, with annual expenses of about $175,000, whicb would give a good profit on their in- vestment if their calculations come true > oo In Place of the Canteen. Washington, Dispatch, 19. An amendment to the army ap propriation bill was today introduc- ed by Mr. Gallinger, appropriating $547,300 to be applied to fitting out the post eqchanges so as to make them take the placeof the army can- teens. The amendment provides that the money shall be expended under the direction of the secretary of war and that it shall be used ‘for the purpose of laying out, preparing ad cultivating gardens and supply- ing seeds, roots and plants for the same; the purchase of books, periodi- cals, stationary, etc., for the post exchange library; the purchase of “ymoastic appliances, prizes for thletic sports; toward the support of the regimental band; for the pur- chase of articles of food other than those supplied by the regular ration and for the further improvement of the post exchange to be equally dis- tributed among the enlisted men. The Woman Who Wins Atlanta Constitution, The Kansas City Star, published near tbe scene of conflict, has come to the conclusion that— It is not the avenging and excited women with hatchets in their bands and quick wrath in their hearts whom theliquor sellers have cause to fear. It is thatinnumerablecom- pany of gentle and earnest mothers, .of dutiful and devoted wives, who di- rect and fashion the character of the home and who train and instruct the citizens who makeand adminis- ter the laws of the land. : Anditis this woman who does not parade herself, but who con- eerns herself with the affairs of! home, making it so pleasant that! its inmates cannot be tolled awsy by red lights, ‘ Mout you gem- said “Down below Spartanburg My mother used to Her an me an my brother came north when The Bocr Cause Not Hopeless. Saturday Evening Post: ' pendent republic. : an impossibility, but it is not. spite of her victories, in spite of territories conquered, and soldiers kuled and captured, there is still a chance of final defeat for Great Brit- ain. Av@thereisas muck chance —-perhaps more—that allSouth Af- rica shall be free as that the imme- diate territory of the Boers shall retain its independence. abe England put practicaliy ber entire strength into the war with the Bo ers. For this conflict she drew up- on her resources in every quarter of the globe. Should she find that not only the Boers, but also a large por tion of the people of Cape Colony, are to be fought, it is probable that she would recoil from the conflict atter a few serious defeats, There is a limit to the capacity of England for carrying onaland war. and es- pecially at points distant from her own shores. Not satisfied with possessing the greatest and best part of South Af- rica, England pushed her armies in- to the lands to which the Boers had retreated. Nothing short of control from the Cape to Cairo was her aim, and at length she captured Pretoria. But the taking of capital cities as part ofa vast plan of extension of territory is not always productive ofthe desired results. Napoleon, planning the conquest of India, tock Cairo. He would far better have left Egypt alone. All of Europe, at least, must be his—and, thus resolv- ing, heentered Russia and seized Moscow. Had he not taken Mos- cow he need never have seen St. He- lena. The reaching out for more, after much has been gained, is often productive of theloss of ever that which one hath. After all, the historice] illustra- tion in such acase as this is the best of arguments. It seemed time and time again that Holland was lost—but dogged perseverance won in spite of hosts slaughtered and cities destroyed. Neyer did a na- tion seem more strongly intrenched than were the Moors in Spain. Yet a little band cf Spaniards never gave up the contest, and foot by foot the peninsula was gained. It took a leng time; but those were the good old days whena soldier could strike his enemy as far away as_ his swordarm could reach, and when an army could march just as fast as it could walk. These are the times when a railroad carries troops hun- dreds of miles ina day and when shells fall into camps from batteries stationed miles distant. The best parallel with South Afri- can conditions may.be found in cer- tain conditionsof our Revolutionary War. The Boer cause is not more desperate than was that of the A- mericans during the awful times at Valley Forge. When New York and Philadelphia were in the hands of the British—when rich families were vying with eachother in do- ing honor to British officers—when Burgoyne was driving his great wedge southward to cut in twain the Colonies—when Cornwallis was sweeping unchecked up the coast— those were some of the times when the American cause seemed hope- lessly lost. In North America, England once planned tocontrol the entire con- tinept. Instead, there arose here a mighty republic. In Africa, she is pianuing to control, first from the Cape to the Mediterranean, and, this much gained, she would gradu ally dominate all Africa. It would be but history repeating itself if, in stead, a republicshouid arise, with its shores laved by the waters of two oceans. ni The Venezuelan Situation. Port of Spain. Island of J rinidad, Tuesday dispatch, 5 —A correspond- ont of the Associated Press has just returned from a ten days’ stay in Caracas, Venezuela, where he went to investigate the Venezuelan situa- tion. The New York and Bermudez Company, the correspondent is in- formed, is quietly gathering astrong force of weli‘armed and well-drilled men at the pitchlake, to resist all encrcachment. The United States gunboat Scorpion has been ordered to the pitch lake, with orders not to allow the company to be dispossess- ed, pending the judicial investiga- tion of the case in Washington. * The Venezuelan government is urging the New York and Bermudez Company to report to the tribunals. The company refuses because the de- cision is liable to be dictated by the government. ‘Lhe United States sent fora com plete set of the laws of Venezuela, pending the examination of which it asked the Venezuelan ,overnment, as a friendly act, to suspend the op eration of the decree Gispossessing the New York and Bermudez Com- pary. The Venezuelan government twice refused. It was then vigor- ously demanded by United States Minister Loomis Then a protest was made and ignored by the Castro government. Three months agothe coasular agent of the Uuited States at Barcelona was thrust into prisou without cause. The United States government demanded an apology. out has not yet received it. Earlier the same consul was arrested and threatened with torture if he did ne: pay a large sum of money to Jocal military officiais. A few months agoa German mer- chant at Barcelona was tortured by officials there toextort money from him. German government sent a cruiser there at once, got satisfac tion and kept the vessel four months in Venezuelan waters. The I-alians have had men of war in Venezuelan waters most of the time for a vear. Last year the American consul at LaGuayra was attacked and his life threatened. The United States government has never received sat isfactory reparation for that, The twentieth of this month the constitutional convention will be called and Castro will become asemi legal president. _Brave men Fall Victims to stomach. liverand kid ney troubles, as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite poisons in the blood, backache, ner vousness, headache and tired, list no need to feel like that. than anything I could: take. can 1 leaseon life."’ Qaly 50 cents, ‘at W. + ~~ nd WwW : ¥.

Every sizce the years in which who bave feared the effect cf the in- politica! beliefs, and most of them far below the American standard of allayed by study of other nations that had received large bodies ci aliens, whether by conquest cr peaceable annexation. for mighty she was supposed to have absorbed and made part of herself, and alien peoples have been the cause of al- most endless trouble to the modern Evropean nations; they have stood apart, remained clannish, complain- ed, conspired, often rebelled.”’ Yet inthe United States it is a fact—it isa mystery also to observ- ers from the outer world—that our immigrants, of whom we have 7é- zeived about twelve millions, soon became loyal Americans, while their children and grandchildren cannot be distinguished except by name from the descendants of the first settlers of the colonies. The expla- nation is to be found in our common school system. The school house is generally the first public building erected in 2 new settlement; it pre- cedes the church, for while Ameri- cans differ theologically toa degree unknown anywhere else in the world, they areas ove in the demand that their childrea shall receive elemen- tary education. Not only is the school free to all, but in States which are most intel- ligent and prosperous school atten- dance is compulsory. The school room is the cradle of equality and freedom, for in it there is no dis- tinction between foreignand native- born, richand poor. Every atten- dant must learn the language of the country, and his standing from year to year depends not at all upoa fa- vor or privilege, but solely on his own intelligence and application. To Americans all this may seem a mater of course, but to the immi- vrant it is an astounding revelation No matter how du!l and common the parent, he knows that ignorance was one of the bars that kept him from any contact that was not ser- vile with the better classes in the land of his birth. Here, however, for several! hours of the schoolday his children are side by side with those-of the richest, wisest and best familiesof the vicinity. Children areas observing as the avimals; they are adaptive and receptive,too, and therefore unconsciously, slowly, but nevertheless surely, they acquire some of the qualities of those whom they admire and with whom they as- sociate. There is no democracy so genuine and assimilative as that of the American schoolroom and its playground, soat the end of the period of school attendance it would be a wise man indeed who could dif- ferentiate the children according to the races from which they sprang. One evidence of this resnit of common-school training is that the system’s most enthusiastic support ers are the men and women who kpow best They havea missionary spirit like that of the church in its most proselyting days. When we oceupied Cuba and Puerto Rico and beyan the conquest of the Philip- pines, teachers were as desirous as traders to go to the new lands. Throuvh the influence of American individuals and societies twenty times as many children are at school in Cubaas there were a year azo. and scores of competent and ener- vetic teachers are demanding as 3 right that they shall be permicted to establish our school system in the Philippines. Undoubtedly they will have their way, aor do our re- maining half-million teachers doubt that at a not distant day the schools will transform the rising generation of Filipinos, Hawaiians and Puerto Ricans into enthusiastic Americans, or that the children will draw their parents after them. JOHN HABBERTON. Mrs. Nation's Case. Topeka, Kan. Dispatch, 20. Judge Hazen of the District Court to day continued the case of Mrs. Carrie Nation, charged with smash- ing Murphy’s joint, until the April term of court. The cases against Eva Harding, Mrs. Rose Crist, Miss Madeline Southard, Mrs.C C. Card. wick and C. R. McDowell were alse continued. Mrs. Nation enlivened the pro- ceedings in her characteris*ic way. Several times she addres-ed the Judge as ‘“‘Your Dishonor.’”’ Judge Hazen announced that he would cali the case against Stark on Monday morning, Balf Stark is a young cerk who assisted in the raid Sun- ay. Miss Madeline Southard and Mrs. Crist who have been with Mrs. Na- tion in the county jail, yave bond for $500 each, and were released Mrs. Nation and the others were returned to jail. The indications are that there willbe a severe leyvz! battle over the case. The attorneys for the defendants willinsist tha- they be granted a charge of venue on ace count cf the alleged prejudice of Judye Hazen. Mrs. Nation refused an offer of bond from her brother. Ee The Need of the Times. Columbia State, What we need in our politics to- day is men who know what they be- lieve in and who will fight for their beliefs. They may be wrong and they may later realize 1t and change, but for a conscientious chanve of the position no right thinking man can blame another, and consciousness of having done that which at the time was strongly conceived to be duty will ensure self respect. Courage pays. No man really loses anything by possessing con- victions and courage to back them. He may lose for a while, but he will profit inthe long run. The other fellow is a ‘“‘time-server;” the very name donates the transitoriness of his power. The lasting reward, the the worthy yictory, comes to him who is sincere and brave.

Doubt could not belexposed to the country by Senators ,4 Hale, Ledge ard others. The ex pose has served-to emphasize in the public mind the great annual cost involved in the retention of a large Rome was destroyed by races that’ army in the Philippine islands, and |* there is no lopyer any attempt to conceal the fact that the conditions in the island are such as to insure the presence there of a heavy milita- ry force so long as the United States attempts to: exercise sovereignty. The Republicans in Congress are beginning to hear from the country on this Philippine question, and there isan apparent weakening of the jinzo hold—everything-in-sight sentiment in consequence. During the past few days democratic leaders have been surprised by statements from republicans showing this weak- ening. On three different occasions recently a prominent democratic senator has been told by leading re- publicans that there is a strong probability of the administration letting go of the islands. is “T have been greatly surprised, said this senator to me to night, ‘‘at having prominent repubticans say to me that in their opinoin the Phil- ippine question would be solved by giving up the islands. These are men who have always voted with their party, and who have shown no inclination to break away from the party on this question of imperialism at aay time. They are a!most the last men vou would expect to take this position in view of their record in the past. “To my mind their utterances are most significant. They taik as if it is their conviction that there is to be achange in the republican policy. and that the islands ought to be givenup. Whether this is based on the idea that the supreme court will decide against the government in the question involving the territort- al problem, I do not know, but I do velieve from what they say and from their way in saying it, that they ex- pect the Philippine islands will, in the not very far future, be given up to the peopleof those islands in some way or Other. . China Has No Alternative-Must Agree to Demands. Pekin, Dispatch 20, The foreign envoys this morning received an unofficial communication from the Chinese plevipotentiaries, offering to agree to all the terms of the powers. The Chinese desired, however, to save the lives of Chao Chu Chiao and Ying Nion, but the ministers insisted upon the former demands. Meanwhile extensive preparations are being made for the expedition planned by Court Von Waldersee. The Germans have pur chased 1.800 camels for transport purposes. The foreign ministers to day say that they think the gravity of the situation is over, but it is expected that Gifferences will cow arise a- mong themselves when some of the governments sendin their indemnity claims, and particularly is there un- easiness regarding the attitude of Germany that her claims must be paid 1acash befcre the evacuation takes place. The other ministers re- sent this, sayingit will be impossi- ble for China to pay, as China has not a large reserve and the customs receipts goto pay dividends upon former loans, and it is improbable she could borrow a sum of any «mag nitude. United States Minister Conger estimates the total demands upon China at $400,000 000. — ae - 0 ee —i—:— The Country’s Business. Philadelphia Record, According to the Treasury Depart- ment statisticians imports during January last amounted ‘n value to $59,100,194. while exports for that month were $136,317,354. Since the beginning of thecurrent government year—July 1 last—the aggreyate value of imports has been $458.831,- 071, and of exports $802.229,729. As compared with the corresponding seven months of last year imports have declined $27,588,562 in value, while the increase in export values, is $102,183 243 During the same period of time theexcess of gold im- ports is stated at $22.369 119. and of silver ex ports—coinage value being given—at $16,221,128. Heavy ex ports of raw cotton since the begin ning of the cotton year in Septem ber last, account for more than $81,- 000,000 of the increase in exports, the balance of about $21,000,000 be- ing due largely to heavier foreign traffic in provisions, live stock, iron and steel and machinery. The ex- cess of exports over imports—$443,- 398,658 for seven months—has at- tracted marked attention in Europe. aueconomicand and goveromental circles, and already in some quar- ters there is talk of a policy of com- mercial reprisal designed to limit American enterprise. —_——— oe i—:t—iti Cashier Makes a Lucky Haul. Reidsville Dispatch, 21. C. M. Roper, alias C. D. Hartley, claiming Norfolk as his home, called at the Bank of Reidsville yesterday and asked Cashier Evans to cash an apparently regularly made out voucher on the North Carolina State Prison, drawn on the State Tréas- urer in favor of F. B. Roper & Co., payable to C. M, Roper. and by h'm properly endorsed, for $268 70 The cashier refused to pay it until a lo cal liveryman indentified Roper. With the money in his possession, the latter went to Danville. Evans, feeling uneasy, then made inquiries and found the liyeryman had known Roper for a few days only. The Cashier thereupon went to Danville and was fortunate enough to find the man and to secure the money paid over to him. Roper or Hartley was not tried in Danville, but proba bly will require requisition papers from Norta Carolina and brought here for trial. Millions Given Away.

Mr. Bryan states that the people of Scott’s Hill awoke yesterday morning to find adeep round bels in the ground, about a foot in diame ter.
