His last attempt in this line was the proposition made to Chair man Simmons Saturday for a joint , discussion between the Democratic candidates and his candidates. We say his candidates because these candidates represent only the Butler faction of the Populist party. The object of Butler's proposed joint dis cussion was to discuss the., constitu tional amendment, and other issues after Butler's convention had de clared that the constitutional amend ment was not a party question. But he proposes to make it a party ques tion by making it a subject of joint discussion between' his candidates and the Democratic candidates. The meaning of this is that while these Butler partisans are attacking the constitutional amendment from a non-partisan standpoint (isn't that too innocent?) Pritchard and his crowd off where there were no Dem ocrats o reply to them would be at tacking it from their standpoint, misrepresenting it - before white voters, and ' whooping the negroes' up to vote against it solidly. Chair man Simmons saw through his game and plainly told him that he, Sim mons, was not gudgeon enough to bite at the hook baited with such a transparent bait; He further informed him that when the Populist faction which he leads showed some standing as a party and ceased to be merely an annex of the Republican party, which is working to make negro suffrage a permanent thing in this State, propositions of this kind might meet with some respectful consideration, but while Butler was posing .as a Populist and playing in cahoots with Pritchard & Co., his faction was not entitled to recog nition as a party in good standing. But Butler didn't expect that his proposition would be accepted. If he had he would probably not have made it. His object in making it was to have it declined and then cackle and claim . that the Demo crats were afraid of a joint discus: sion with his Goliahs. " Butler thinks he is smart, but he doesn't catch Simmons napping." QUAY EELEQATED. . The anti-Quay faction in Pennsyl vania after a hard and protracted fight, have succeeded in preventing Quay from getting that Beat in the Senate to which he was appointed . by Governor Stone after the Legis lature had failed to elect. They waged the fight against him in the Legislature and having prevented his election carried the fight into the Senate and prevented his getting the seat to which he had been ap . pointed. The fight was made on the right of the Governor to appoint after the Legislature had failed to elect, so that the refusal of the Senate to ad mit him, is no reflection on Quay, . who was not charged with corrup tion; (as in the case of the Senator elect from Montana),, but was simply c a question' of law as to whether the Governor had - the right to appoint him or any one under the circumstances. It was a close shave though, 33 against ta 32 for him,' with one Senator, Petti grew, present and apparently ' not able to make up his mind as he failed to vote when his name was called. ., ; The action of the Senate is some what of a surprise to many putside of the Senate and even to some of the Senators, and doubtless is to Senator Stewart, who sometime ago predicted that Quay would be featedf as Senators "vote to admit men they like and to keep out men they do not like." Quay was liked by the Senators generally and very touch liked by some of them, some -of the 'Democratic Senators being his warmest personal friends." -- Interest hinges on this refusal to seat Quay, because it may involve some politics. The opposition to him was inspired and led by friends of Mr. McKinley, the' Philadelphia Press, owned and controlled by Post master General Smith, being the special ' organ . of the opposition. Quay naturally, of course, construes this as an administration fight against him, and it remains to be seen whether he will fight back, as it was said some time ago he threat ened to do, and use his influence to defeat the renomination of McKin ley, or his election if nominated. He might not be able to do either, but a man who has manipulated the machine in Pennsylvania as long and as cleverly as Quay has could make it very interesting for McKinley and Mark Hanna, if he decided to give them' a tilt. LAEGEB, BUT SLOWEE SHIPS. The ocean greyhound idea is giv- ing way to the larger but slower steamers, to run from twelve to' fif teen knots an hour instead of twenty to twenty-two. Several of these ships have been built by foreign com panies and they have proved so popular with the travelling public, and so profitable to the owners, as compared with the , swift-flying steamers, that a number of others are to be built -as early as practi cable. Contracts have been made by the American Navigation Com pany, owners of the St. Louis, St. Paul, New York and Paris, with the Cramps, of Philadelphia, for two, one of which is now under con struction, concerning which the Philadelphia Press says: 'They are of a new type entirely a type made necessary by the changing demand of travel and the tremendous increase of the country's export trade. Nearly 600 feet long, they rate at about 12,600 tons, but when it comes to engines they are content with about 13,000 to 14,000 horse-power, capable of driving them at a twelve or fifteen knot increase. "This great increase of size and de crease of engine power sacrifices only one thing, speed, while it compensates by giving an immensely more com fortable ship for passengers and a very much more profitable one for the owners. "It was the success of the Kensing ton and Southwark, of their own line, and the "mammoth new ships of the German and English lines, that led the International company to prepare to meet the demand of the trade by con structing these two new ships. They will make the passage in from ten to twelve days, and with their great length and broad bilge keels will ride far easier than the high powered and tremendously driven ships of speed that go in for record smashing to the exclusion of everything else." President Hill of the Northwest ern Railway has also given contracts for several monster ships for the Pacific trade in connection with his road, to ply between our Pacific and Asiatic ports. These are to be mainly for freight. Immense Bail vessels are also coming into demand, experience haying shown that there is more economy in operation and more profit in the larger but slower moving vessels than in the smaller rapid fliers. - HANNA WAS THE WHOLE THING Whether Mark Hanna has lost prestige with Bepublicans outside of Ohio or not he certainly has not with the Bepublicans of his State, for he holds the party in that State in the hollow of his hand, as shown by the way he manipulated the con vention which met at Columbus Tuesday. He was the whole thing, and had the programme cut and dried, and it was carried out ac cordingly. This is shown by the fact that in the two "key-note" speeches made there was no reference to issues, which muBt have been by premed itated understanding,' for without this two men could not have made the two "key-note" speeches with out referring to some of the issues which are now attracting attention throughout the country. The- inference from this is that Hanna has not yet decided as to the issue that he wants put to the front, and is consequently playing for time to feei his way; therefore, he in structed the speech makers to play mum on the issues and leave that to" him. He ran them before the convention, and when that met he ran it. He was the whole thing all through. Great is Mark, a quite remarkable fellow. Mr. Gates, President of the Ameri can steel and wire trust, started a little slumping game last week. He gave several Congressmen the tip, and when he got through tipping they were out of a good deal of money, one of them, an Illinois man, who thought he had a dead sure thing on Gales' tips, about $100,000. Their Iobs was Gates' gain. There are some ways of stealing; not pun ishable by penitentiary. Cold Steel Or Death. , "There's but one small ,chance to save your life and that is through an operation," was the awful prospect set before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge, Wis., by her doctor after vainly trying to cure her of a frightful case of stomach trouble and yellow jaundice. He didn't count on the marvelous Sower of Electric Bitten to cure tomach and Liver troubles, but she heard of it, took seven bottles, was wholly cured, avoided surgeon's knife, now weighs more and feels better than ever. : it's positively guaranteed to cure Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles and never disappoints.

Determined Effort by Ex-Congressman Pearson to Have the Matter Brought Up -Not Likely to Succeed Bills for War Claims. Special Star Telegram. Washington, April 24. Richmon d Pearson, was to-day about the House endeavoring to get the leaders 6n the Republican side to have the Pearson Crawford contested election case taken up at an early date. It was learned to day from reliable authority that Major Moody, who expects .to be - Mr. Crawford's Opponent next Fall, has notified the Bepublicans in the House that if they unseat Represents tive Crawford it means certain defeat for the entire Republican ticket in the district this Fall? and that if Repre sentative Crawford is allowed to retain his seat the Republican party - has a fighting chance. It is believed here that this, coupled with the press of more important measures, and that Representative Driscoll's (the Repub lican member from New York) de cided stand for Representative Craw ford will force the matter over until the short session. House Committee on Elections No. 2 to-day notified Representative Bel lamy to file his account of expenses in the Docker y-Bellamy contest Nothing has been done by the com mittee in regard to the contest itself. Special Star Correspondence. Washington, D. C, April 23-Ex-Congressman Pearson was about the House to day endeavoring to have the I Pearson Crawford case Drought up, but it is not believed be will be suc cessful as the Republican floor leader, who desire to adjourn by June 12th, are anxious to first dispose of the ap propriation bills now on the calendar. There is nothing new in the Bella my case and it is unlikely that the matter will come up at this session owing to the press of more important measures, Senator Pritchard to-day introduced a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to Samuel T. Carrow of Beaufort county, N. C, $6,500 for tobacco appropriated and used by Fed eral troops during the civil war. Representative Small is confined to his home with a bad case of the grippe. Representative Kluttz today intro duced a bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to Geo. W. Fisher; of N. G, $18,000 for supplies seized by Federal troops during the civil war; also, a similar bill of $250 for J. B. Fitzgerald, of N. C, for property used by troops during the civil war. . U. S.

Department of Agriculture. Farm work is now generally over two weeks later than the average. While a few correspondents report corn all planted, the work is progress ing very slowly over most counties. Early planted corn is coming up very nicely. Preparations; for cotton have been much delayed; a very small por tion only of crop to? be planted has been put in the ground and none is re ported up. Tobacco plants made some growth and a few have been trans- Slanted in the eastern portion of the tate. Wheat continues very promis ing and is growing fast Winter oats are very poor and cannot recover a normal condition even under most favorable influences; spring oats are coming up to good stands. Gardens, though still late, are improving. A large portion of the rice crop on the lower Cape Fear river has been planted. An exceptionally large fruit crop is promised. Bellamy Annual Orator.

By the means of a news item in the Stab last Wednesday and by a bit ot clever and commendable detective work on the part of Captain of Police I Jno. J. Furlong, a young white man I apparently about 23 years of age and of gentlemanly appearance, is locked up at police headquarters on a serious charge which best appears from a re production of the article, which with the assistance of Captain Furlong led to his arrest: Extract from, the Tarboro South erner: "Blount Bros., of Bethel, are after a man giving his name as J. W. A, Cohoon. He claimed to be selling school desks. He purchased a suit of clothes from these merchants and gave a check on the Bank of Tarboro, which had no funds belonging to him. Messrs. Blount are out their clothing, $11 and something. He gave to F. B. Knight, a check on the same bank for $3 cash. Cohoon, it is said, forged an order on the school fund and went to Greenville to have the superinten dent to approve of it, b,ut in this he failed. He then went . to Rocky Mount and hired a horse-and buggy and gave a check tn . the Bank of Windsor for $8.91, for part of which he received money. This is the. last heard of the man, if exception be taken to the information that the Windsor bank, like the Bank of Tar boro, never heard of such a man." Capt. Furlong on last Friday dis covered the presence of Cohoon in the city and on Saturday ' he telegraphed the chief of police of Tarboro. The an swer came in a letter yesterday morn ing from Justice S. T. Carson, of Bethel, Pitt county, inclosing a war rant for Cohoon's arrest Uapt Fur long went immediately to the young man's boarding place on Dock between Front and Second streets and took him into custody. He does not deny his identity and says he came here from Tarboro two weeks ago and was for a time employed, in canvassing for the Singer Sewing Machine Company. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Mr. D.

There is every prospect of a most auspicious opening of the season in an excursion to Old Brunswick on the 1st day -of May under the auspices of the North Carolina Society of the Colonial Dames of America, to cele brate the 175th anniversary of ,the founding there, of St. Philip's church, the ruins of which are most interest ing. Many invitations have been issued to out-of-town people, and the citizens of Wilmington are cordially invited. It is to be a basket picnic for adults only, a future day being set apart for the children. The steamer Wilming ton will take down the party, the fare being only fifty cents, one-half of which goes to swell the fund which the Dames are endeavoring to raise for the purpose of preserving and in some measure restoring the historic ruins, as well as the graves of the earj(y settlers surrounding them. An address giving historic facts will be read, the site of the old town point ed out, including Gov. Tryon's man sion, and the lines of the Confederate fortifications in the last war traced, and in other ways the day will be made especially interesting. The ob ject is so laudable, and the prospect so alluring, the Stab hopes that the people will give the event a liberal patronage. - Back From Edgecombe. Dr. George F. Lucas returned yes terday from Pender s county, where he went to look into the smallpox aspect at Edgecombe. He reports the situa tion unchanged. One new case has developed, making seven in all.

Dr. Lucas is doing all that can be done and deserves the thanks of the entire county for his prompt and dili gent action. It will be some weeks before the danger is over, and it is hoped that the county will continue to support him in his efforts to atop a threatened spread of the loathsome disease. .. Dr. McMillan, of. Wilmington, who has accompanied Dr. Lucas on several trips to Edgecombe, speaks very com plimentarily of Dr. Lucas' efforts and says that he is one of the most compe tent and zealous of Pender's authori ties. - - V Conductor Married. .

Noth- : Ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taintj It not only attacks viru lently the different structures of the body, but many flmes thp bones are honey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That Is, PURIFICATION! Every particle of the blood must be removed through the ezecretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great Testorative, reconstructive and vitallzerof the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is the life." , Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov- - ered.' This fact is now established beyond question or cavil, j BIiOOD FOISOH CUBED BT JOKSrSTOlpjs SABSAPARIIA. r Byron, Mich., October 31, 1894. Wlll!mi, Drii, Brooks & Co.. Detroit : -.
