Bpeciajl to the Gazette.
Gfreensboro, April 9. In the federal
court here today the cases involving the
registrars of elections were nol pressed.
'District Attorney Hod ton, made the fol
lowing statement In opening court in
withdrawing the cases:
"In view of the situation in this state
and) the general desire for peace and
quiet and in consideration of what we
conceive to be "the toast interest of the
state we .respectfully recommend to the
court that in these cases a (nolle prose
qui ibe entered upon the terms and con
ditions following, that is to say:
"First, That the United State3 at
torney reserves' the right to reinstate
these Cases and prosecute them upon
a repetition of these or any simiTar of
fenses committed fay 'the defendants or
any other persons.
". ''Second, We are promptedto puirsus
this course in consideration, of ithe re
commendations made to us by leading
kcjonservartive men of the state of all
political parties, as that course which
-would ,-in their opinion best subserve
the public welfare iiegardless of " the
guilt or "nnocenoe: of the parties.
TThirq, That this Course is recom
mended -without passing upon the ques
tion of the guilt of the parties, inas
much as according to the 'testimony in
possession of the government the de
fendantsin our opinion might' properly
be convicted, but with the sola desire
to further what is conc:ived to be pro
motive of :peace and quiet in the stata
and -with firm belief on our put "that
it is the desire of 'the larw abiding1 ci'.i
zens of "the state to s:cure and enforce
the constitutional right of every citizen
and fully protect him in (the exercise cf
his elective 'franchise and privileges.
If these ooanmendable purposes can be
accomplished or subserved we consider
it to be for the interest of the state and
the present state of affairs to di'scon
tinue the further prosecution cf these
oases, with the understanding that con
ditions 'hereafter are (to .te such that
there will be no necessity for the pros
ecution of such cases."
Fallowing are the remarks cf Judre
Boyd:
"The court approves the course taken
by the district attorney because I be
lieve that it will .better subserve the
future peace and good order of state
than would a furtiher; prosecution cf
the indictments. I ami not oblivious to
the conditions 'which surround me, and
1 aim satisfied that those who represent
the best classes of citizens desire to up
hold1 (the good' name of the state, and
preserve ithatl harmony and giod will
among our people wMoh ought to pre
vail for the 'best interests cf all.
"I (have MMifidenice in the integrity of
.those who have suggested the action
taken today in this case, and I com
mend the district attorney that he- has
responded to a request which seems to
come to Mm. as a command from repre
sentatives of the best social and busi
tness elements of the state. The cessa
tion of the turmoil which has afflicted
jus, the resumption' of peaceful and cor
dial relations among our people are
considerations far above tfaose which
may enter into any laiividual prosecu
tions. Believing' that the disco . tinu

Manila, April 9. The report that

cially denied. It is eaid that the delay
is caused by some minor differences
The authorities are acting mysteriously,

an immense asamhlaige including
President McKinley and the ni'mber
of his cabinet, ithe survL iiug memlbers
of Gen. Logan's family and many per
sons eminent in the military and civil
life of .the nation. A grandson of th?
famous leade, (Master Gecrge Tucker,

our country's appreciation of one rvf
her heroic sons whesa name is dear to
.the American" people, the ideal volun
teer soldier of two wars, the eminent
snator and commoner, Gen. John A.
Logan. Logan's career was unique.
His distinction do s not r:st upon his
military achievements alone. His ser
vices In the legislature of h?s cwn
state ih .the national hcue of repre
sentatives and In tha senate of the
United States would have given, an
equally conspicuous place in the an
nals 'of 'the country. He was great in
the forum and in the field. Some names
instantly suggest a s:ntiment. That
of Logan stands for exalted patriotism.
This was the key ' of his success.
Party politics to hiiri was nothing
when the union was in danger. When
the alternative came le was swift t3
dedicate his life and fortune to -the
party of Lincoln ibrcause It stood for
the indivisibility cf the union. How
much he did to create and increase the
sentiment of loyalty and patriot'sm
among the people' of his own slate and
throughout the nation can never b?
told. He stood with Douglas holding
up the cause of the unim and offered
his own life as a cheerful- sacrifice, if
need be, for Its preservation'.
"Logan was Tuever haif -hearted. An
intense patriot, he -was also an Intense

Is likely. If the dynasty should be
overthrown it would, to. a ceitiin ex
tent, delay the peace negotiations, but
they consider that a regime not bound
!by traditions, like these of the present
court, would probably be much cur
tailed. Prince Chang, who, as a relative, may
'be considered to take the court view of
the situation, thinks the rebellion is a
storm in a teacup. He says the present
court is loved and esteemed by nine
tenths of the .people of China, and that
the same proportios- of able-.bcdied men
in China would rise to protect the ex
