A leak in the Paris end of the ad ministration has made it apparent why the Republicans were so anxious that the treaty of peace should not be con cluded before the congressional oiec tion. We are to get the Philippine Islands. But we are to buy them a new wrinkle, after capturing territory by force of arms, to pay money for it either by paying a ltyge sum in cash or by assuming about ?40,000,000 of Span ish bonds, or both. It is not surprising that the Republican managers should dread su.i Information as that going Jf'the country on the eve of an impor tant election, nor that they should now be trying to discount tt by saying that nothing had yet been positively deter mined upon, except that we would de mand all of the Philippine Is'ands. That demand was today officiary made by our peace commissioners, of the Span ish peace commissioners, but it was known in Paris several days ago, and known to the Spanish commissioners t'rt this government had agreed to a proposition to buy the Philippines. Robert Mial, colored, and an un known negro got In a difficulty near Moore square .yesterday evening. Sev eral shots wer fired . but whether any one was hijured, Is, pot known. Mial was arrested and sent, to Jail but the other negro escaped.-, i NICARAGUA OURS. By Telegraph to the Tlmea-Visitor. WASHINGTON, NOV. 1. NICAR GUA BECAME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE UNITED STATES.

C . bAW GAMBLING Editor Biley Nut 1hshI Wiih ihe Fair ATTACKS MWAWKJIKN Gambling on the (Ir unja ani Indiccn. Shows Shock the Kdlu r of the Biblical becoid. r- i.e i: in cises Police. Evidence that the State Fair for 1898 is over accumulates In this week's Biblical Recorde its pditor gives the public his regular annual eposure of the .wickedness of the Fair Soma of the things he calls attention to doubt less should not 1)3 allowed, w'nile others are probably only the "fakirs' games," which really make up a Fair and con tribute in the largest degree to the Fair's success. Many go to a Fair simply to be cheateed, and if they are deprived of an opportunity to throw away their their money they are dis appointed. The Recorder says in part: "President Cuningham did ail in his power to keep the Fair upon a high moral plane. He appointed a commit tee of three gentlemen, Messrs. N. B. Broughton, J. E. Pogue and Geo. H. Alien, with authority to inspect the side shows and close up any that was 'ndecent or immoral. They would close up one and another would bo started. It may be s;iid that they succeeded in suppressing every once in a while most of the immoral shows; but they would rise again. Gambling went on openly and arantiy in. to our certain knowl edge (for they were absolutely public), at least four forms and at seven p,i,"o?. We do not think there was ever such flagrant, cheating gambling on the State Fair grounds. In front of the grand stand, a man ran a ball-rolling machine, alone: the "midway" there were several "fish-pond" institutions. Mid at one place a lottery was running In full b'ast. These cramblers worked the "capper system" for all it was worth, payins such men as they could bribe to co-operate with them in order that the Innocent but ignorant and weak might be tempted to put up their money, which they invariably lost. This in violation of the laws of North Caro lina and of the Fair Association; but they did not stop. Worst of all. a noto rious gambler, who has Iven dehnned from decent race tracks, icept going with a free hand a wholesale li 10k mnking on tbe rnoes within twenty fe-H of the judge s stand, in full view of the crnnd stand, in the sight of everybody. And every now and then th's Infamous ramb'er would call out to "the hoys" that "roly holy" would ho in full bl.-st down town (in Raleigh) "tonight." The attention of a policeman was called to the operations of this man; the pnlino man declared that he was set to watch the fence (which wrs comparatively at lTst very law abiding and ouite as straight as the policeman), and on be ing told that he knnv better said that he was afraid he might have "to use his gun" if he went alone to arrest the hook-maker (another word for bet maker), and would get another police man. He got another, but that one af firmed that he was appointed to watch the grand stand steps, which he knew were old enough to be trusted, but on being told that he was sworn to main tain the law, said that he "did not know much about the law. and must see the chief of police. And the two went and brought the chief. Then the grand stand watcher went faithfully back to his hazardous oost and the fence-watcher and the chief went over Into the "betting ring." After a council of war. the chief was firmly of the mind that he must see the Secretary of the Fair. Now the Secretary was in the judge's stand, within twenty feet of the book maker, in the Judge's stand from which he had cast a benign and liberal glance now and then upon this book maker, in the judge's stand hearing, seeing and knowing what. was going on within the shadow of his wing. But on the chief of police went, set-face and purpose, full-determined, within reach of the' book maker himself, the bidee of the chief in shining display, but the ' . . , . : A "ook maner Biup,m.K u .... ., rient Bravely on oy ana up nw J . . . J , nlnn,! n n I nlmnet Ifirhnilt H us" "" '- V""", " uenior tu lear t'vvu uj mc c.v. v... Secretary. Now what the chief said to the Secretary and the Secretary said to the chief we do not know; but we do know that the. Secretary looked kindly down upon the book maker and the human ring' around him. and that tlie chief went very busily off into oth er parts and the fence-watcher re sumed his devoted vigil of the white washed boards, which at any rate gave no token of requiring him "to use his gun" or of exercising his knowledge of the law, and the gambler went on with his bet-making, showing his odds on a slate, isslng receipts for money, and after each race paying up as fast as tickets were presented. He knew that he was safe. He saw the police. He saw the Secretary. He has been com ing to the State Fairs for ten years, stopped. He is old, iut ho live, he will come again next year. He spends Fair week in Raleigh, running a "roly boly" gambling game. He is so familiar they call him "Roly Boly" down town. Yes, it is against the law, but what of that? It is not the law that Is strong, or weak, but the arm that enftcts it, and the arm is a contemptible thing Fair week. "The Fair teaches one lesson. So long as the men in charge are not at heart opposed to indecent ehows and gambling, the assurances of its Presi dent and rules of its Executive Com mute amount to nothing. This lesson is well enough for one Fair if it will be remembered until next year." PROTECT THE FLAG. By Cable to the Times-Visitor. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. l.-The Porte has addressed a note to the for eign ambassadors reverting to the -ues-tion of the maintenance of a sufficient force of troops In Crete to insure the protection of the Turkish Has.
