The metting was devoted to dicuss.iror details of the bill and report which the commission wid present to Congress, wbi.h h d n t ,been lully .decided upon at the last meeting. The Legis lation which will be recommend ed by the commission will be in cluded in a bill which, to all in tents and purposes, will be f n enabling act, and very mu;h like bills providing for the ad 'mission of new States into the Union, except in the one impor tant detail that it provides for the admission of a Territory and not a State. The bill has been completed, but probably will br amended somewhat in detail. The report has not been com pleted, but the cotnmlssun has decided upon its important fea tures. One of these is a recom mendation that the system ol importing laborers under con tract be dicontiuued. The Com missioners have decided that as the svstein is contrary to the laws applying to this country as a whole, it would not be wise to coitinue it even temporarilv in Hawaii It is understood that a majority at least ot the members ot the commission do not accept thr theory that Amer icans and Europeans cannot do manual labor in the islands. The commission will recom mend a regular territorial form of government, a Governor, a Delegate to Congress, and a Legislature. The L-gislature will be elected by the qualified voters of" the is'antls, but there will be propertyand educational qualifications imposed upon those who vote for members o' the uppT House of the Lgisl-u-cure. Th franchise will not be extended to the Japauee or Chinese in the islands, but thr Portuguese who become citizens will not be excluded unr'er the restrictions imposed. The commission will present full details of the value ol prop erty acquirtd, income from tariff taxes &"d other important facts bearing upon the government ol a e islands. They estimate that the p"operty secured to the United States will amount to more than 510.000. The public licds alote are believed to be worth about $3,000,000. The commission's report will be in the hands ol the President before the rr.eeticg of Congress, the first Monday in December The President will submit the report to Congress, which will include the dratt oi a bill to car ry into effect the recommenda tions cJ the Commissi jners. The bill will be introduced into the House by one of the administra tion leader in that body, and probf bly will be referred to the Committee on Territories. An Opossum Farm. Statenville Mafcot.

Told her that twuz like to snow All the weather showed it; Looked as if we'd have a blow. Simply said: :She knowed it!" Talked o' this, and talked o' that Till my tongue got weary; Made remarks about the cat. But still kep' fur from Mary! Old clock ticked an ticked away, (Wished her heart 'twould soften!)

In 1881 Tsu An died, and Tsi An served as sole regent unti; Marcn 4. 1SS9, w hen the yourig Emperor was formally placeu upon the throne, bhe was of lered various temptations to continue in pewer, but like a gooef godmother selected a wi'e for her warel and remoyed to a handome residence sailed Eho Park about ten miles from the Forbidden City. There sur rounded b a court of her own. she has live d in what the Chinese consider great splendor. The Emperor has visited her regular ly at brief interval, and all the officials of the court have striven to outdo eacn otnrr in onering adoration and gifts of value. She resembles another famous soverti j.: of her sex in her love of money, and it became known throughout China long ago that gi ts of cash were more ac ceptable than any other. According to the Chinese standard her private character is spotless and the is wi-e, be ceyolent and just. Every one must concede her ability, as for forty years she has been the central and most conspicuous figure in the empiie, and will appear in history as one of the greatest of the long line of rulers of China, which runs back to the davs of Moses. It was intended to commemorate her sixtieth birthday on November 27, 1894-, by ceremonies of un precedented magnificerce, and ten million dollars were apuro priated for that purpose, but the war with Japan interfered with the programme, and bv command of the Empress the money was devoted to military purposes. Tsi An has always received the same reverence that is paid to the Emperor, and everybody who approaches her, even the Son of Heaven himself, kneels and knocks his head nine times upou the floor. While she was in power she conversed with her ministers and conducted her in terviews from behind a screen, but since sae has passed ehe age of sixty etiquette allows her to expose her face. Prince Henry of Germany an.: his suite are the onlv foreigners who have ever seen her, and his visit created acocamition throughout the whole empire From "The TJowagcr Tsi An and the Empe ror Kuang Hsu," by William E'eroy Curti, in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for December.

Judge Walter Claik. of the Sn '.Tfitif Cou' t, is preparing a new Hition ot the Annotated Code which will be issued after the Legi-latu-e adjourns. The Italian government has sent an ultimatum to the Sultan ot Merc cee on the sul ject o the drttntie.n and ill-treatment of Italian proteges. A week has been given him in which to re ply. An umbrella maker of Olden burg. Ger., who boasted he had beenihesen by lot to assassi nate Emperor William, en the latter's return from Pa estine, has been sentenced to three yeart imprisonment. Tbe armored cruiser Kaiser, flagship of the German squadron commanded by Prince Henry of Prussia, which was recently ashoie in Kam Sah bay, has ar rived at liorcg Kong with three holes in her bottom. Mr. Wm. F. Cherry, a volun teer in the Second North Caro Una Regiment, was shot and in stantly killed by some unknown person from ambush in Williams ton last Tuesday evenirg. No clue to the murderer. A cor.fT.ct with negro troops occurred at A' niston, Alabama, Tuesday night last. Ote negro was killed and several wound ed, liie white soldiers were anxious to secure ammunition and, upon being refused, cried like children. Hon. F. M. Simmons says that in only six counties in the State did the Democrats fail to make a bold fight on the color line and in favejr of white su premacy, and that in everv one of these six counties the Demo crats suffered an inglorious de feat. This shows the fatal ef fect politically ol a failure to fight on the lines of the true and teal issues. Kinston Free Press. During the excitement in Wil mington on Thursday the white ship carpenters, caulkers and others refused to work as they did not want to leave their homes unprotected. Oa las Wednesday they were all di9 missed and negroes were em ployed in their stead by Capt. Chaighill, the engineer in charge of the government service there. Great indignation is felt over the affair. Senator Pritchard was asked hy the Asheville Gazette if it was true that he favored the organization of what is known as a "Lily White Republican party" in the State. The Sena tor si J that the report which had been cii cu'attd to the effect that be favor .-d uch an organi zation was absolutely unfound ed. He further stated that be wa pre parirg an interview for publication in which be under stood would be the future policy of the Republican party In North Carolica. Negroes in the north are hold inc meetings nightly to protest against the treatment of the ne groes in the south, but right here at home among the ne groes who are directly concern ed no such meetings are held and very little is heard about it. Viewed in any light the affair at Wilmington is to be deplored, but when it is remembered that it is the only affair of the kind of any importance that has oc curred irt thirty years, it would appear that there was sufficient cause for it and that such affairs are the exception and not the rule. These fellows who are raising sand at long range will accomplish no good for their race. Durham Herald. Rev. Newton Hinton, one of the most highly represented citi zens of Mallard Creek, was found dead in the road at 10:30 o'clock this morning about 200 yards from his bouse. His body was found by Mr. I. F. Orr and he is supposed to have been dead about an hour and a half when found. The news spread rapid ly and the whole neighborhood is greatly stirred up oyer the matter. There are no marks of violence on his person or any signs of foul play. His body was not moved, however, before a physician had been summoned to make a thorough examina tion. One little mark was found on his forehead, which was thought to have been made by his falling. This was not suf ficient to cause any suspicion of violence. Charlotte News. About the PostofYlces. The report of Fourth Assist ant Postmaster-General Bristow for 1 he fiscal yf ar ended June 30. 180S, ihows there were at the close of the fiscal year 73,570 postoffices in the Uuited StMes. 3.816 pi evidential and G9.754 fourth class. The net increase in the number of posteffier s or the fiscal year was about 2 54S, the largest on record, except 1890 and 1892 The state having the largest nuiuter of presidential pst offices is New York, with 330. tollowcd by Pennsylvania, with 284; Illinois, with 257; Iowa, with 212, and Ohio, with 208. The states having the smallest number of presidential post offices are Wyoming and Neva da, with 8 each; Utah, with 10; Arizona, with 11, and Delaware. Indian Territory' and New Mexi co, with 12 each. The states having the greatest number of fourth clas postoffi ces rank as follows: Pennsvl vania heads the lit, with 4.871; New York next, with 3,394; Virginia, with 3,297; Ohio, with 3.175, and North Carolina, with 2 393. The states having the smallest number of fourth class postoffi ces ate: Rhode Island, 135; Delaware. 1G0; Nevada. 173; Aiiz jna, 190; Wy-oming, 293. A very interesting table in the report is one showing the com pensation of fourth clas post masters by states. In this table Massachusetts heads the list, showing an average compensa tion for her fourth class post masters of $335. G2 per annum, followed by Rhode Island. $319.- 3G. and Connecticut, $283 48. The state showing the small est average of comf ensation for her fourth-class postmasters is North Carolina $85 72 the scale rising, with Tennessee ($SG.08) second and Alabama ($92.74) third. The fourth class postoffice is the postoffice of the masses. The great ma jority of the American people patronize these offices, and the average compensation of fourth class postmasters shows fjuite clearly the extent to which the mails are used by the masses of the people in the respective states. Another interesting table sets forth the amount per capita ex pended for the use of the mails by the people of the various states. In this list Massachu setts stands first, with an ex penditure of $2 30 per capita in the use of the mails; New York second, expending, $2 27; Dis trict of Columbia third, S2.1G; Colorado fourth, $1.93; Con necticut fifth, $1.80. The states ranking lowest in this table are South Carolina, 25 cents per capita; Mississippi, 34 cents; Alabama. 35 cents; Ar kansas, 37 cents; North Caroli na, 41 cents. During the year there were 25.G53 postmasters appointed. In 1897 there were only 15.40G. Of the presidential postmasters there were 2,157 appointments, of which 1,454 were made ne nessary by the expirations of terms, 143 by resignation, 39 by death, 115 on the office be co.ning presidential. The number of remoyals were 40G. Of fourth class postmas ters 8,200 resigned, 881 died, the terms of 8,400 expired, and 2.3G9 were removed. The larg est number of changes were made in Pennsylvania, 1,606; the next largest in New York, 1.28; Ohio, 1,419; Kentucky. 1,100; Missouri, 1,095; Texas, 1.087. and Illinois, 1,085. New York and Illinois stand a tie in the number of remoyals, 154; Indiana, 148; Ohio and Pennsylvania, each 145; Mis souri, 136; Kansas, 117; Ken tucky, 106, and Tennessee, 104. Assistant Postmaster General Bristow recommends that a special envelope of heavy paper bearing a 10-cent stamp be pro vided for registered letters. This he suggests owing to the fact that so many losses have oc curred in the mails because of poor quality of the envelopes in which the articles are inclosed. He also recommends increased penalties for violation of the postal laws. Chicago Record.

And die unsatisfied and this is Fate. A New Way to Collect Bills. Xew York Sua. "Speaking of collecting bills," said the man from the Wet, "we have a most effective method in Chicago. There, instead of young men, they employ young women. I tried it mysell and it worked like magic. A fel'ow by the name ot Green owed me a small bill, a matter, I think, of $17 or so. It seemed impossible to make him pay it, so I engaged the services of a pretty and stl ish girl. I sent her around tf bis office. He was out. She called again. He was still out, but nothing daunted she made the third and fourth call. The fourth time he was in, but he firmly refused to pay the bill. "'Look here, Mr. Greene-,' said the girl, 'I will make a proposi tion to you. If you will pay five cents a day on this bill I w ill cali each day and collect this amount until you have paid it in full.' "But Greene was a hard party. He again refused, and the girl left the office apparently crest fallen. The next dayshe e'id not call at his office, but she did call at his house. The door was opened by servant. "'Is Mr. Green in?' askrd the young woman. "No, ma'am." "The girl left but it seems that the servant duly repotted the call of the pretty and stylish young woman who was so anx ious to see Mr. Greene to his wife. The next day when the young woman again called, the wife hung over the banisters, taking a peep at the caller on her own account. The young woman asked if Mr. Greene was in. "'No ma'am,' answered the scryant, 'but his wife i.' The wife had told her to say this, of course. "'His wile!' stammered the girl, 'why, has Mr. Giecne a wife?' "The wife, hanging oyer the banisters, heard this. SLce-jrned pale and gasped for air, while the gir!, seemingly yery much confused and distressed at her discovery, went on down the steps and into the street. It is impossible to say just what hap pened in that house that night, whether pokers and curling tongs were hurled, or the furni ture torn from its foundations and flung madly about, or the rjof was raised skyward; but one thing I do know the next day Greene promptly paid the $17. And the girl didn't call at his office for it either. He came around and handed me the money himself, and he f eemed to think he was getting eff pretty easy at that." A Wonder. "When that man came to this town," said Rivers, "he hadn't a rag to bis back. Look at him now." Brooks walked to the window, looked in the direction indicated, and saw a swarthy son of Italy walking down the stieet, bend ing beneath the weight of asack of rags three or four times bis size, strapped to his b.-.tk. The historian regrets to have to record the fact that thi led to another quirrell between the two old friends. Chicago Trib une.

Richmond, Va , Nov. 24 The Orange and Purple went down before the Blue and White on the gridiron here to day. In the presence of some 3,000 specta tors, the University of North Carolina eleven defeated the University of Virginia dy a score ol 6 to 2. The Virginians bad the weight and natuially, the sympathy of the crowd, Rich mond being a great University city, but the Carolinians had the skill and buckled down to their work with a determina tion and steadiness and discip liue that elicited the warmest admiration. The contest was warm throughout. The featuie of the game was Howell's splen did 40 yard elash for a touch down, skirting Virginia's light end. The brUliant interference of Gregory, of North Carolina, was also one of the features ol the contest, and but for bis star work Howell's successful elash to the touch line would have been impossible. Carolina played a heady game throughout and ascertaining in the struggle that it was nxt to impossible for them to force Vir ginia's heavy line, they attacked the guards and the ends and re sorted to kicks and punts, all of which kept Virginia from mak ing any elacgeroua advances. Captain Rogers, of Carolina, lost his head in the last play of the game and in a risky attempt to make a touch-back was downed beyond the touch line, thereby giving Virginia her safe ty. The officers of the game ?md the cjach and captain of the Vir ginia team say that Carolina we n strictly on the merits of their play. r.ade of the Right Stuff. A story concerning our troops in Manila is told by an Er glitsh naval officer who was an eye witness of the occurence. "The city was quite crowded," he says, "with both American and Spanish soldiers, and tbey seemed to be on the friendliest terms. As I was crossing one of the numerous bridges across the Pasig river, I saw a native Filip ino spit in the faee of a Spanish efficer, and then run to the American sentinel, who was guarding the bridge, demanding his protection. It was some time before the Filipino culd make him understand, and the sentry took some time to catch on to what had been done, but you can imagine my surprise when he handed his gun to the Spanish officer and caught the native by tht nape of the neck and the seat ol his trousers and pitched him into :he Paig river. Then he calmly took his gun from he Spanish officer and began p icing the beat as if nothing had hap pened. The American toldier may not be so military as his brother of Europe, but he i made of the right stuff " Argo naut. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia, wa the subject, is narrated b bim as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition.
