AssHred that everything was iu working order, Mr. Holland Mowed the little boat tip and pointed her nose in toward the Xavesink High land, which loomed op smokv and indistiuct on the Jersey thore lour miles to the southward'. She r;u along for oO yards, and then denly swinging bout and point ing her nose toward the Great Beds light she slipped out of si'lit. There were a lew ripples aft and a little patch of foam, but that was all. Two hundrt-d yards from where she disappeared the Hol land came op like w huge porpoie and almost immediately vanished from view again. Every man on the two tugs took out his watch and counted the minutes she was under. Many of them had never seen a submarine boat perform before and were skeptical as to the Holland's ability to go down and come np as she pleased. The nervous ones were reassured after a wait of twelve minutes bv seeincr h-r appear again, but she disappeared instantly, and lor oO long minutes not a glimpse of her was caught by any one on the tu?. The most confident ot the spectators were discouraged long before the 50 minutes were over. Capt Morris and Mr. Frost moved nervously about the tug with pale faces, blaming Mr. Holland lor keei out of sight so long. Others were speculating on the possibility of having to drag the bay for the boat and wouderinc if there was a supply of compressed air aboard suflicient to keep Mr. Holland and 111s crew alive until they were rescued. Lieutenant-Commander Sperry, who is an old friend of Mr. Holland, scanned the whole area of the bay to the westward for a long time with an anxious face. finally putting dowu his erlass he said : "I don't cive a continental wh.ir happens to the boat, but I don't want any harm to come to Mr. Holland.77 Exactly one hour and two min uties alter she had made her first dive and about oO minutes after her second appearance above the water the Holland was discovered three quarters of a mile away from the tugs. Her llacr was cone, and all that could be seen of her was her conning tower, which looked like an oyster can as it bobbed un and down in the distance. The water in which Mr. Holland dived had, he said, an average depth of 30 feet. There was 11 feet of water over her turret, according to the pressure gauge in the first dive. I'd when she, went under the second time, 15 the third, ami is the last. Hie last time she was under she bumped along the bottom for half a mile, and her crew could hear the oyster shells scraping against iter irou sides. Xcic York Sun. Anril in War HMory. A statistician in the Baltimore Sun office has given out the follow ing interesting historical facts that have special interest at this time: It was on April 19, 1775, at Lex ington and at Concord that the first armed resistance was made by the minute men to the British troops. The excitement of Vpril 10, 1SG1, is still remembered bv many persons. The Sixth Mas sachusetts llegiment was attacked by a mob in Baltimore, and that city was turned over to the seces sionists. North Carolina was the first colony to declare for independence, in April, 1 70, and lihode island almost Immediately followed with a similar declaration. Six years later, in April, 17S3, the recogni tion of our independence was made by the Dutch republic. April 18, 1 4 75 Paul Kevere's famous midnight ride.

Senator Gorman says he retired from the chairmanship of the Democratic caucus, which he held for so many years, for personal reasons and because his term will expire next March, and he cer tainly ought to know better than those who are giving other reasons for the change.

" If V Cannot in Without Such Hi. Iionorahle Method. I.-t I-feat tonif." Raleigh Tost. April L'tth. A representative of the Morning l'ost was in Wilmington yesterday and understanding that a letter had been addressed by Chairman Jones, f ! ii. National Democratic Executive Committee, to Col. A. M. Waddell, of that city, requested that Colonel Waddell permit the iW to publish his reply, which, is as follow s: Wilmington, N.C., April 20, 9S. Hon Janrx K. Jones, 'txltintiton, . C. Deae Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of jour letter of the lS'h ii:st.. enclosing copy of your address as ch iiiman of the Democratic National Com mittee, and have carefully read what vim su in legard to the pol icy which ought to be pursued in the campaign of 1900, and your ap peal to me to go to the State Con vention and work for this policy. You say that you "understand perfectly the difficulties by which you (we) are surrounded iu North Carolina," etc., etc. Permit me to say that I am sure you do not understand the real situation, or the plainness of the path of duty and self respect which lies before Democrats here; for, if you did, I am sure you would not ask or expect them to accede to the demands which will certainly be made upon them by Mr. Butler and his party as conditions of "co operation." 1 am, and have always been, a bimetallist. I endorse the Chicago platform. I would rejoice to see Mr. Bryan elected President, but 1 am not willing to see my party entr the open market and bid against the Republican party for Mr. Butler and his followers, at the upset price of voting for him or his allies for the most important offices affecting the welfare of the State. The fight here is one be tween barbarism and civilization between white men and negroes manipulated by unprincipled dem agogues. Mr. Butler and his friends put the latter in power and they have degraded and dishonored the State. If he wants to initio his foul work because it was foul, it is very easy to do so; if he wants to undo it, only on condition that he and his followers shall continue to hold otf'ce, I will never agree, to accept such condition, because it would be condoning a great crime, and would afford no substantial relief to the people. I will be no party to any such infamous transaction. I would sooner make open war upon such scoundrels than to jield to their demands. Jf we cannot win without such dishonorable methods let defeat cjine. We have stood it heretofore, and cau stand it again better than win by such means. 1 know this is not "practical politics," but I haven't much re spect for practical politics at best, and none at all for this particular species of it. However, I am out of politics of any kind, and my opinions are of little consequence to anyone. I do not expect to be a delegate to the State Convention. 1 shall cer tainly not ask to be : but if 1 am, while 1 will do anything to induce honest white men to act together to rescue North Carolina from the degradation with which she is afflicted, I shall never agree to at; complisli that high purpose by offering a higher price to the dem agognes who l;etrased her to re turn to their duty, than that offered by their present allies to remain with them. Local self gov ernment by white men is infinitely more important to us than the sil ver question, and if we cannot get it peacefully without trading with Messrs Butler vS: Co., we will get it by force at their expense, and don't you forget it." I have plainly given you my l.onest conviction. Yours tnilv, A. M. Waddell. Kihual Your v-l With C'nsrnrft. Candy cathartic cure constipation forever luv. If c.
