Wednesday new Named as the Important Day.. Vain Hopes to Which the Spanish ate Clinging. Arguments That Will be Met With a Prompt XT ltimat urn-Reports That Spain Will linally Yield. Paris, Nov. 14. Following- the policy of delay in the vague 'hope of some thing turning- up, the Spanish, commis sioners today obtained a postponement until Wednesday of the joint session of the peace "board. The Spanisih answer will comprise ia declaration! of willingness to -discuss the control of the Philippines, but will re fuse to conside a change of sover eignty. A profusion1 of -arguments will be met wit'h a prompt ultimatum from the Americans. Even this will not force an immediate rupture, and. there will be oc . more meeting. Meantime the Spaniard hope some thing will turn up to aid them, though they have abandoned recourse to Euro pean intervention), Bit least until a later stage of the game. It is now amnounoed tihiat nothing will come of the kaiser's visit to Spaing Another vain bope of Spain is ta re port of differences in the American commission, which will give her no ad vantage .as they ,miirely relate to a con struction of the offer to reimburse hex: for improvements in the Fhilippimes and Whether it is worth wfhile. to -allow her to retain a few outlying- Isfllands. Spain also plaices some hope to the story o a syndicate willing to pay $wu, 000.000 for the rig-lit to exploit the. Phil ippines for ninetynnine years, Dut tms i is now regarded as ridiculous. Reports from Madrid multiply that the government will yield in the end rubber than' break off negotiations. In that case other commissioners would probably have to be appointed.

MOOie to pUCCeCd Late Judge GieeD. SuSSelTs Visit Also Thought to be. in Connection With the Probable Pearson-Crawford' Contest. Governor and Mrs Danliel L. Russell arrived in AsQuevMle yesterday and are guests of Colonel and Mrs. Virgil S. Lusk laib .theirhome' on College street. Tbe g-overnor and. Mrs. Russell had no party with them but at the railroad the governor's massive figure attracted a great deal of attention from tihose who reeogndzed' Mm and those who didn't. T!he governor .and his wife were met by Colonel Lusk 'amid driven to the tat ter's house, where Governor Russell, tired Ms journey, -refreshed Mnnself wjilii a, snort sieep. I'b was about at the conclusion of this siesta the Gazette reporter called. Governor Russell promptly accorded a meeting but not ami interview. When it came to talking poliltics the governor Was as elusive as a mosquito in a bed room at midnight. But bere, as is well known, tbe comparison between the governor and a mosquito must end. His big form completely filled the door- j way as ha passed through it and cheer-! ibreeted tbeGazsat tei man. i . , , "H)as your' visMTiafniy politiciajl signin cance?" he was asked.';. The governor Oilad placed himself in a big armchair and from its recesses toe i replied: "None in the world." "'Would you mind, stating the purpose of your visit?" "Mrs. Russell's health." "Then you wilH stay 'Some time." the reported ventured. i jno; oniy a coupie or aays, ' sam the gOvermtor, wbo must believe that very quick climatic benefit Is derived in the Land of tihle Sky. Has your visit 'amy connection with tihe rumor of comigressional contests?" "I really haven't anything to tell." "Nor with the 'appointment of a suc cessor to the late Judge Green?" "Haven't anything to tell.'.' "Governor Russell', there is a great deal of public interest in what you may think of the recemt riots in Wilmington. Do you care to express yourself on tihiat subject?" Ml don't care to slay anything about tbat, nor of ainiytMnlg else political. Really if I had anything to tell I would." The governor settled further into the big cbair and engaged CotTorael Lusk into explaining the merits of the new 'acetyline tank ihe 'has fniad erected mear bis house. Presently the reporter asked the gov ernor and Colonel Lusk if they bad any plans toward checking the proposed Work Of the democratic legislature. The answer was obtained from Colonel Lusk: "We'll just let 'em go ahead," said toe. "Two meia once went hunting bear. Only one bad a gun. Bears you know are in the habit of roTling down the mountains. Presently one rolled to ward the two men. 'Shoot! Shoot!' yell ed tbe man without la. gun. 'What's the use?' asked tbe other. 'Just let bim roll He'll kill bisself.' " The governor's bulky form was shak ing witflu merriment when the reporter left. That Governor RussteM is here sim ply on a pleasure trip and mot with an eye to repair fallen republican fences is doubted everywhere Im the city, bmce the 'Erovemor's arrival the knowng ones mirl the- rtnK-'wiho-4think-they-know of botm oarties have wagged their heads and worked their tongues explaining PAINTS! , PAINTS !

A sort of consolattoui caucus is said to have been held at an early hour last nSgbt art; Colonel Lirsk's bouse. One tjhing is oertajin, which is that the gov ernor bad under consideration the ap pointment of a succeBBor tn Ha 4at Judge J. L. Green, of tbe Tenth dis trict, and that Captain1 W. M . Monr of Yancey county, will be the appointee. jvioore s candidacy was seconded before the governor by Major Rollins, Har- ! kins, Pritdhard and also received the endorsement of Captain James Gudger. Captain J. W. Bpwman, of Mitcbell, is Moore's only rival for the place, and hfe chances are considered dim. Colonel Lusk is beartily supporting Captain Moore. There Was some talk that Lusk himself would like the place but this is absurd for Lusk says he don't want the it and if he did he coudn't get it for the rea:9on that be is not a resident of the .district where tbe vacancy exists. .But thte democrats think they see a deeper, more important object in the governor's visit, and the theory bears a strong stamp of probability. It is that Rusisell means to consult Pearson on the advisability of a contest in this con gressional district, and if it is decided to fight Crawford the governor will, it is said, withhold the certificate of elec tion. As far as could be learned Mr. Pear son has mot as yet seen Governor Rus sell. Mr. Pearson has announced his nitention of leaving for Washingtorlto day. He bas meanwhile been, stayinr at the Battery Park hotel. Governor Russell did not go there last night and it was said tat thle Park that Mr. Pear son ihlad not gone out. He had retired at 11 o'clock. The Washington Post recently con tained the unqualified announcement that Pearson meant to contest Craw ford's election. Mr. Pearson yesterday refused to deny or affirm it. Whether 'the alleged irregularity at Black Moun tain or the claim of intimidation of ne groes, or both, will form the basis of the contest, is mot known. iS. O. Smith, formerly lieutenant in the Second North) -Carolina, has bis ap plication with Governor Russell for the appointmenlt to the same rank in the A. L. I. He expects it to be acted upon before the governor leaves town. Governor and Mrs. Russell will return directly to Raleigh at the concluson of their visit bere. UNREALIZED CONDITIONS Wrar Department and Fiejd Officers Didn't Know Short-comings of Army Camps, Washington, Nov. 14. Much import ant testimony was beard by the war in vestgation commission today. Major General Breckinridige's testimony was regarded as higbly important as de monstrating what could have( been done-at Camp Thomas if there bad been proper management, and a new channel or inevestigation was opened by the declaration of the witness that the office of inspector general since his promotion hod been without a head. The commission were surprised to leann that reports of inspectors genieral bad been made to the adjutant general. Breckinridge acknowledged that Gen eral Brooke migbt bave found a rem edy for the conditions at Camp Thom as if he rea!zed the extremity of the situation. He declared this lack of re alization extenlded to Washington, es pecially in the medical department, Surgeon General Sternberg having re fused permission to build a new hos pital when- one was absolutely needed.
