This scores one for Duncan since all his opponents had united In the elTort to bring about the reappointment of Harry Skinner as district attor ney. R RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Republican National Committeeman K. C. Duncan and Judge Spencer B. Adams, who have been about the national capital for several days, had lunch yesterday 'with Postmaster Gen eral Frank H. Hitchcock. They came here by Invitation, to settle pending patronage problems In North Carolina. It Is said that Congressman Grant will name the western district United States marshal and that Judge Adams will succeed A. E. Holton as district attorney. The name of tne nextrdls trhit altm-fier-in the eastern district la not dlaclosed.' Judge Adams goes to the Whits House today by appoint ment. , It is said that Senator Crane of Mas sachusetts has taken a hand In the Hmlthneld. post office light, at the in stance of Congressman Morehead, and will oppose Stancll's confirmation as postmaster. As soon as Senator Ovreman read the story In this correspondence about the offer of a series of the repudiated carpet bag bonds bearing the name of the state of North Carolina by the New York holders to the state of Nevada he got In communication with Senator Newlands of that state. Mr. Newlands was unfamiliar with the matter, but at the instance of Senator Overman he wired the gov ernor to tind out the situation. The governor waa not at the state capital when the message was received, and It was answered by the" secretary of stnte, who informs Mr. Newlands that the bonds have been offered tha state authorities. The secretary of state expressed tha opinion In his reply that the governor would decline to accept the issue for the purpose of harrasslns North Carolina, and indi' rated that his policy with regard to the matter would be much the same as that fotlowed by the governor of Ithode Island. The impression naa been created hers that the Navada authorities would accept the bonds and Institute suit That was un undoubtedly the work of some of the bondholders. It would eem that Nevada Is to follow the action taken by the states of New York. Michigan and Rhode Island, all of which have declined to art as collectors of bad debts lor - Npw York aneculators.

' Albany, N. Y., Feb. 25. William J. Conners made good his prediction that he would still be chairman of the democratic state committee after Its meeting yesterday. In saving his po litical scalp, however, he lost most of his hair. ' Charles . F. Murphy, the Tammany chieftain, whose - complete mastery of the situation .was realized by no one better than by Conners, himself, granted the Buffalo leader a brief political reprieve In the Interest of party harmony, after Connors had agreed to resign In April and to re pudiate ms recent harsh statements concerning Mr. Murphy and the al leged auctioning of Judgeships In' New York, which he declared were the re sult of his "Infirmities of temper" and were unjustified In fact Chairman Conners was re-elected for a two year term on April 17, 1908. He announced at the meeting yester day that "under no conceivable cir cumstances" would he be a candidate for re-election. He promised, how ever, to work hard to uphold the hands ot his successor and to aid In restoring the democratic party to power. The state committee will meet In April to elect a new chairman. Yesterday's meeting lasted leas than 5 minutes. After the compromise, which was arranged at a personal con ference between Chairman Conners and leader Murphy, all fear of a clash at the meeting vanished. Four resolutions were quickly adopt ed without a dissenting voice. The first resolution waa In favor of a fed eral Income tax and urged "our rep resentatives In the legislature to press for passage and vote for the amend ment to the federal constitution giving to the congress of the United States power to Impose tax upon incomes." The second placed the committee on record as favoring the direct primary bills already Introduced In the present legislature. The committee then took a fling at 'republican misrule" and the "Iniqui tous tariff law" by adopting a resolu tion declaring that (the republican party won the last national election upon the platform pledging it specifi cally to revise the tariff downward, but that In spite of that pledge, "tht recent revision has In no way re moved from the shoulders of the great mars of the people the burden of In direct taxation which the republican policy' of protection Imposes upon them for the benefit of the few." It charged the republican leaders In the recent revision of the tariff with gross breach of faith and treachery to the people, and declared that the ex cessive cost of the necessities of life Is directly attributed to republican mis-rule and is certain to continue until "the Iniquitous tariff law so well called the mother of trusts shall be honestly revised by those who rep resent sufferers and not the beneficia ries under it and until, under demo cratic rule, the tariff of protection and SDeclal privileges gives way to the tariff for revenue only."

Citizens of the county are talking good roads on every hand, and It Is likely that a bond Issue of a hundred thousand dollars will be voted.

It is understood that $5000 was the amount Involved. A WRIT OF ERROR IS Supreme Court Will Examine Heike's Claim of Immunity, In the Sugar Trust Indictments. Washington, Feb.. 5.

W THE Neither Strikers Nor Transit Company Look With Approv al Upon Peace Plans of Ministers. THE COMPANY CLAIMS TO - HAVE WON THE STRIKE But the Limited Number of Cars in Operation Today Were not Well ' Patronized Labor Back ing Strikers. Philadelphia, Feb. 25. Good order was maintained throughout the day. There is little apparent change In the strike situation except that the com- puny appears able to run more care , than formerly. It la claimed it is now operating 700 cars. The strikers re- ! main steadfast, and feel sure they will , win. The public are patronizing the ; ars more freely. : ' , , 1. Philadelphia, Feb. 26. Traffic on all street car lines Is still far from normal, as the result of the strike of ' motormen and conductors. The lim ited number of cars in operation are not well patronized. Sympatny with the strikers, and fear that attack on the cars might be resumed,' caused thousands of persona to continue rid ing in wagons, and other conveyances. Thus far the day has been quiet While the transit company claim to have won tr strike, the claim is disputed by the strikers. The propos- , al ot the clergymen's committee that both sides submit the case to arbitra- , tlon, has not borne fruit . Organized labor is backing tha strikers strongly. . , . ' Cars Operated last Night. Surfuce cars were operated on the principal streets of the ''city ' until midnight last night for' the first time tilnce the beginning of ' the present strike against tbe Philadelphia Rap id: Transit company. Since the strike began on Saturday of lust week alt cars were. withdrawn from service at nightfall but last bight, guarded by". members of the state police, the cars continued to run even through the turbulent mill districts of Kensington and Frankford. Although the transit company offi cials reported that eighty-four cars had been stoned during the day no disturbance was permitted to attain serious proportions. All outbreak were quickly quelled by the police and not a riot call was sent to head quarters. During the day; according to the companies figures, 744 car were In operation and sixty-six ' of these continued to run until midnight. Increased service Is promised by the . company, which anounces that four hundred new men, many of whom wero formerly employed in the com- , pany, were hired yesterday and will take out cars today. Only one-third as many oresta were made yesterday by the police as were made the day before when seventy- eight people were taken Into custody. Among those arrested was the son of constable in the office of tha com mitting magistrate. He confessed that he was a member ot a band of youth who manufactured a quantity of ex plosive cap and then drew lot to see who should place them on the tracks. He drew the fateful straw and wasarrested while placing the ex plosives on the tracks. A new and dangerous method of showing their antipathy to tha transit company waa adopted by crowds of boys In the up-town district when soap waa used on the rails. A Twelfth street car was attacked by a mob at Twelfth and Norrls streets. For about fifteen minutes bricks, atones and oth er missile were thrown Into the car. breaking windows and throwing the passengers into a panic. A detail of policemen gave chase to the rioters, who flod. - ' Soon afterward , the same crowd commenced operations at Tenth and York streets, nearly, where they soaped the Tenth street car tracks. A detail of policemen was called for and again the mob was driven away. Plans for the proposed sympathet ic strike have been deferred for the present The striking car men at their meeting adopted a rsolutlon request ing that the strike of other union ' men be held In abeyance. As a result of this request members of the Ceii-l tral Labor Union and the Allied Building Trades Council, which have been busy planning the proposed strike of all trades, decided to post pone further action until the regular meeting of their bodies on next Bun day. At that time It Is proposed to appoint emmitteea to make the strike effective whenever such action la de cided upon.
