Haws .f the Stage, Social, Political and Otherwise, Called From Our Daily Eiehaogee The ice trust managed to get in one scorching day in New York be fore it reducod slightly the price of ice and the size of the chunk it was necessary to buy. Sir Thomas Lipton has cabled $1,000 to be spent in purchasing some of the cartoons in the exhibit of the Press Artists' League in New York. Come to think of it, Sir Thom as did get off rather easy. James Belford, who, when in Con gress from olorado was known as the "Red Roostor of the Rockies,"' has joined the Republican party again. He left it to Bupport Bryan in 1896, and says now he is back to stay. Dr. George F. Shrady says that no matter what happens in Wash ington and other cities, tbe society girl in New York doesn't smoke, be cause it is bad form. Then he spoils this nice little speech by adding: "She would sooner drink a cock tail." Charles S. Wilbur, superintendent of the census for New York, refuses to make the names of the enuniera tors public because they are already in demand by advertises who want to use them to solicit and push va rious schemes while they are doing their census work. From Kansas City, and brought by a man who has just been there, comes the disturbing news that there are only twenty -nine licensed saloons in the entire town. This will, of course, greatly increase the baggage that the delegates to the convention will find it necessary to carry. ; Somebody has told a lot of people named DeHaven that a man named Jacob DeHaven, who once kept a hotel in Philadelphia, loaned the government $450,000 in 1777 and that the government still has the money and the interest due. In an swer to the numerous letters of in quiry the Treasury Department has been receiving about this, it has been necessary to issue a circular saying that no money for the DeHaven heirs is in the treasury or ever has been. The wrangle over the "Quo Vadis" prodnctions has been transferred to London. Wilson Barret is using much space in the advertising col umns of the papers there to declare that the Canby and Whitney version being given at the Adelphi is unau thorized, and that his presentation of the play at the Lyceum is the only proper thing. The legal rights in the controversy appear to be about as they were in New York case. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Joseph L. Bristow, who goes to .Cuba to. untangle the knots tied in the postal service there by Mr. Neely and others, is a native of Ken tucky, but for many years resided in Kansas, where he was engaged in newspaper work. For a time he was priyate secretary to Governor Mor rill, of Kansas. Mr. Bristow was ap pointed as an assistant postmaster general from Kansas as the begin ning of the present administration. General Buller is getting his re venge at last. The occupation of Dundee is the first step toward the reconquestof the British territory seized upon by the Boers at the be ginning of hostilities. Kruger's ul timatum was delivered on the 10th of last October. The next day the army of the transvaal invaded Na tal, the British garrison at New castle falling back on Glencoe. A battle ensued there a few days later and General Yule withdrew to Dun dee, whence he retreated to Lady- smith on October 22. T,hen follow. ed the long siege of White's small army at this point, which necessi tated Buller's campaign for its re lief. He arrived in natal at the end of November and after three months hard fighting he entered Ladysmith at the beginning of February. 1 hree moths more be was waited for Lord Roberts1 conquest of the Orange Free State. That practically accom plished, Buller has begun his ajr4e- tnent to .retake the northern angle cf Natal and thence to press on into Honest Colonists For Siberia It is not necessary to credit tbe new Russian law abolishing transportation to Siberia without judicial inquiry altogether to liberal modern views on tbe part of tbe Russian government. .Rus sia has spent mTIli .ns of dollars id opening Siberia to settlement by constructing railroads aod otherwise.and its rulers now find that those who would otherwise become willing settlers in tbe Siberian domain object to becom ing the companions and associ ates of convicts. To induce law abiding men and women to en gage in the Jevelopment of Si berian resources the Russian gov ernment has decreed that it is to cease to be a penal colony. Id adopting ibis seDSiblecourse tbe Russian government is fol lowing a path long ago marked out by the British authorities. Botany 3 ay was a penal colony until the rich possibilities of Au stralia were discovered, and i hen transportation was aban doned to encourage honest men to become settlers iu that far away dependency of the British Eupire. The wisdom of this course was long ago demonstrat ed by the rapid growth of Aus tralia and New Z ?alaud in popu lation and wealu., and a similar success is likely to follow the in vitation to honest settlers in Si beria by the cessation of tbe transportation ol the criminals to that region. The discontinuance of the prac tice of sending criminals to exile in Siberia was worth while. Tbe real criminals of Russia, those who deserve confinement and punishment, can be kept in pris ons without defiling with their presence a rich and still to be tice of exiling without trial or explanation those whose pDliti cal influence is feared is one that ought to be abandoned on gen eral principles by Russia and every other nation making any pretensions to civilization. Tin abolition of the practice of send ing the guilty into exile in Si bena will be a great gain to Si beria, and the abandonment of the practice of sending politico suspects into exile will proye a great step forward for Russia. DEMOCRATIC CALL By authority of Ihe Demo cratic Executive Committee of Wayne County a convention is hereby called to assemble in Goldsboro Wednesday May 23rd, 1900, at 12 o'clock m.

It is believed tjat the plan to prevent an adjudication of the Clark case hy the Senate will hardly work. Mr. Clark, after every possible effort bad been made to organize a tight upon the committee report in tbe Senate, and after it had been found that no sucb contest could succeed, resigned suddenly, the resignation being so timed & to hod the (Jovernor of Montana ab sent from the State, aod tbe lieu tenant-governor, a friend of Clark's, acting governor. He was instantly re appointed by tho acts ing governor, and he has prompt ly accented the appointment. In order to determino whether or not the vacincy from Montana is of such a character as can be filled by tho governor's appoint ment, it must bo definitely ascer tained when the vacancy occurred. If it existed through a term of the Montana Legislature by reison of that body failing to legally elect the cne is similar to that of Mr. Quay, and the appointee cannot be soatod. If it occurred yestor day on tho ret-isnatioD being ten dered tho appointeo would bo en titled to the seat, unless be thould bo judged to bo disqualified by reason of any action on bis part Jetermiied by tho Senate to fur nish jutt and reasonable grounds for disqualification. The Committee on Privileges and Elections of the Senate has decided unanimously that there wns no election by the Montana LTbinrtrmwHbaHheaeaa existed pr'or to the meeting of the Legislature. Mr. Clark makes this decision of the Sonato committee tho grounds for bis resignation. In order to determine wbon the vncancy occurred the Senate will have to act in some way upon the findings of the committee nn that question. If the resolution report ed from the committee is adopted it will dinpoBo of tho cbho so far as any possibility of Mr. Clark's getting back the seat iB concerned. If the Senate rejects the resolu tion of the committee it will thus turn down the committee as ef fectively as if tho resolution had been rejected without the resigna tion having been tendored, and will adjudge Mr. Clark entitled to the seat on tbe original conteBt, affocted only by his own act of resignation, and also entitled to re-occupy tho seat by appoint ment. Unless, therefore, tbe Senate is prepared to decide that Mr. Clark was entitled to tbe eebt in tbe first instance, notwithstanding tho adverao report of the commit tee, there appears to be no possi bility of his bjing permitted to enter the Senate on tbe apoint- ment of tho acting governor. The apparoDt purpose to overreach the Senate has, it is boliavod, injured rather than helped, Mr. Clark's caso. It is suggested that be can not by an act of his own make legal a fraud, if one was commit ted, in his election. Boer Envoys in New York. Now York, May 16. The three Boor envoys, who arrived here yesterday on the Maasdam, spent tbe morning in their rooms in the Hotel Manhattan, reading and an swering the big pile of letters and telegrams which they found await ing them. In addition to the mess sages of welcome, there were fonnd invitations from committees of Boer sympathizers of more than eiity cities, all tbe way from Bangor to San Francisco.

(Jovernor Smith Denounces 1 as a Hhanie, a Disgrace and an Insult. Ogden, Ut., May 1G. Gover nor Robert B. Smith, of Mon tana, who was In Ogden to-day, arriving from the coast en route to Helena, spoke in relation to the appointment of Senator Clark to the United States Sen ate by Lieutenant Governor Spriggs, in very vigorous terms, calling it "contemptible trick ery." He said: "It is an insult to tbe Senate to send Clark baok to that body It is a disgrace, shame and bu miiiation upon tbe people of Montana, and tbe Senate should act upon tbe resolutions and show him tbat tbey do not want him there, as be can take tbe hint no other way." Why Towns if m Nomintted. Washington, May 18.-Cbar-man Butler, of tbe Populist party, said to-day It was true that Mr. Bryan and Mr. Towne bad expressed preference not to have tbe People' "party nominate for Vice-President, but that tbe com mittee'i judgment v?as that the best way to elect both was to nominate. He said neither of the two was acquainted with the present sit uation as to the Populist vote, and to have appeared to disband the People's party orgatrzuiou would have lost Mr. Bryan ten populist votes for every gold Democratic vote he wuuld have won back to him. The conven tion's action, he said, was the necessary thing to insure Bry an's election. PUBLIC SPEAKIMI. There will be public spooking at the following times aud places in Wayne County.
