its own waterways. Teller was the
princdpaiT speaker today. He said the
sQflstate department made a serious mis-
lake m recognizing the Clayton-Bul-wer
treaty which had been violated by
iskgland. He accused Morgan and
Ifrye of being inconsistent. They de

HOLDING INSOLVENT CONVICTS
A Decision cffUreat to ail Counties
ftfee State.
A case of" some interest concerning
the working of Insolvent convicts oi
the roadS" has been decided by Judge
Hoke, his opinion having been received
in Oreensboro recently by Mr, John
N. Wilson,, attorney for the board of
county commissioners The point de
cided Is' with reference to fhe right of
the authorities to nold a convict who
'is insolvent, and therefore unable to
pay costs, the usual twenty days be
yond the number of days for which he
is sentenced. It is said to be the cus
tom In ithese cases to imprison-a man
twent days for costs, and in some easos
the man is g'yen an additional term on
the road as a punishment. The point
was raised by a local attorney at a re
cent term of Guilford court, and. the
question being an entirely new one
Judge Hoke took the matter under con
sideration, and his decision was receiv
ed and is to the effect that an Insolvent
prisoner, cannot be detained the ;isual
"twenty days for costs" after serving a
specified sentence as punishment. The
matter may be of interest to all coun
ties in the state working their public
roads by the convict system.

SPECIAL CHARGE THAT THE RUP

IS UNDER TUTELAGE' OF SALIS
BURY. Lisbon, Dec. 7. The minister of the
Netherlands to Portugal and the Por
tuguese minister at The Hague have
left their respective posts. It is be
lieved that a difference has arisen on
the subject of the exequateur to the
Dutch consul at Lorenzo Marquos
which the Portuguese government has
withdrawn.
Tension between Portugal and Hol
land appears to have been emphasized
perhaps not altogether unintentionally
by the popular warmth of King
Charles toast to Queen Victoria at the
banqruet given yesterday at the SRoyali
palace to Vice Admiral Sir Harry
Holdsworth Rawson and) the officers of
the British fleet now in the river
Tagus, and by the telegram which the
king after wards despatched to Victoria
banking Her (majesty ifer sending jbhte
fleet and for the friendship thus 'de
monstrated. "1 beg to record," telegraphed the
t king, "my great sat it action at the
firaink amd loyajl alliance uniting Eng
land and Portugal." - 4
In the caurse of has speech, when
he toasted Queen Victoria the king said
among other things:
"England baa often shared the efforts
and glories of Portugal. Our mutual
friendship and close alliance .ire
strengthened by history wad . the bkxxl
shed together In the causes which have
always been Just."
Admiral Rawson replied th$.t the
words of the king harmonized with the
thoughts of the government and people
of Great Britain.
