There wisrei no farther tidings from the bjiUers yeBtsrday during the diif aud there fas much discussion ami eiioculatiou on all sides as to the p-bab!o reulS. of tbo movement to brifg 't'aiu Lack into Che United StiiVs Tha opinion! waa fipressed byiEoine that the telegrams received frofci Messrs. White and Cross are de Bigiei to th'ow the authorities eff tbif uard and that they really have co! s iufen'ion of being briught back without making a hjard fight. The general opinion is, however, that the defaulters are bin cre , in their repentance arid ara rady to coma homo and take thi conscqarDces e-f their evil dojng; From the telegram from Mf. White on Friday and also from ine one received by .Mayor j 1 i r Tho.T)n soh Friday night from Lr. John S. Kng,. of Toronto, who it sremi has been administering modioli attoi.ioa" tojjbo'h th'd ab3conderp, s'ating that hej was au horized by thein to sav th- thpy vcre ready and willing to come ho'mc, it would appear that they aro in! earnest and intend to make an un- coiaditional surrender. Llayor Thomp scjb replied to tho telegram yester day stating that Chief of Police C D. Il;aiU was already en route for To rrfntof to- bring the prisoners bvk. The. probabilitied seem to be that they w 11 oome without any trouble. Several were heard to express grave doubts yesterday as to whether the attempt to. bring them back would b successful in case ii should be con tested. Of late years Canada has bfeu a favorite haven of refuge for bpodjers ,fleeiing from the United States, and Canada-has recognizsd the fqct that the presence of these mon eyed, recreants in her domain is a sourco of no insignificant advantage ti the count r j. She is therefore very Ifjth ; to give up our fugitives who carry a great de tl of money there and who, in the nature of the case, spend a great deat If the boodlers decide to nfake a stand, therefore, they will likely receive the full co-operation of the Canadian authorities. It isl. I bhv& that such has bfeen the : case in similar instances before. ! ;It would seem, however, ttat if the charges of forgery can be clearly and conclusively proven the matter wm ds unquestionaDiT settiea. Qat, on . the Other hand, there is no knowing What legal technicality may qe sprang should the parties decide tp make a fight. Irl Tiew! of the probable arrival of the I defaulters daring the week there U l something of a lull at present i ia developments in con nection with the bank. The inves tigation, however, is still being brosecu ted with systematic regularity. Col. Tate says there ia no change in fhe aspect of things, but indications re st 11 encouraging and no develop ment i have yot come to light to show jmytring contrary to the state ments already made that depositors Will receive 50 and probably 75 cent 3 kn the dollar. I The excitement incident to the hews of the apprehension of the ab sconders had considarably abited yesieraay ana a more neaimiui ieeung pas prevalent. Nothing is now to be done bat to await the arrival and jtrial of the fugitives and the final 'result of the investigation of the status of the bank. It ia very notice able, however, that all seem to be 'considerably more hopeful for the re- suit than at any time be. ore. It may be safely said that nothing has evercrea ted such a profound sensation land thoroughly stirred the city from center to circumference, as the events of the memorable week j ust gone by. land jet while the craish has left scars wcuch will show for a generation to come, the calamity has been.borne by our community with a fortitude, a manly courage and a cool, practical and sensible resignation which has wa s the admiration of all who have had occasion to know of it. j ;The affair has also created a greater excitement all over the State at large than any other similar case ever known. The affair has elicited much comment and rainy expression of sympathy m the part of the SLate presp, all of which are profoundly ap preciated. Several of the Sta'e pi pers issued special editions ou Fri dry announcing tha arrest of the de faulters. It was stated yesterday that the ne gro, Joan Orithih, was with .Messrs. White and Cross at the time they were arrested. This is very probable as it will be noticed that our special dispatch from Toronto in another column states that the detectives did not arrest John, indicating that ho wa there whon Messrs. White id Cross were arrebted. ; The Chatham Record in speaking of the losers in that county says: The greatest sufferer in this county by tbis bank's failure is Sheriff Brewer, who had the sum of $5,811 deposited there. On the 1st of April $l,5i0 will be due on the bonds issued by this (Centre) township for building the railroad, and the sheriff bad de posited that amount in the State National Bank for the purpose of riromptly paying it. The remainder of the s! 5,8 11 belonged to the school fund and was to be used in paying , the public school tea "hers of the bounty.

It-via u 06 6 ; Add. ni Report Which I to be t!ad Tomorrow on the Tartar Measure of th Deiuorrllc jilitjorlly. The following is said to be the re port of the Democratic majority of the wajs end means committee on the llills tarift' bill which is to be made to the Hause tomorrow. It cites the fact that the surplus for the liist fiscal year waj $55,500,000, and for Lbe current-vear is cstima e 1 at $81,000,000, and saye: 'With receipts growing larger, and expenditures growing fiat'ler, we muot soon gather ito (uo treasury the larger part'lof. the circulation of the country, to lie g eati iujury of its business al the bankruptcy of many of its people. Some" method mast be adopted by Congress to pro vent the congest ion which must occur under existing 3aws. There ara two ways in whicii this excessive accumu lation may be p.-eventcd. Ye may re duce i&xatioa to t hs kvf l of expendi tures, and leave in the packets of tho people all monoys not needed for public purposes. We may raise tx pendituros to tho height of taxation, seeking ou now and uselas3 objects of appropriiti'jn on which I) lavish tho great and growing revenues cor needed far nut legitimate wants of th'i public srvicf. If we alpt iho lattor cjurso theoe very objects of 'nsleF3 expend ture will gut her up?n Ccarfc.'s iu such in- crea-zug nunibtrs a;;d '.nth uch gro vug i toman , ai m U .teu upon the govornmo'it A pe'mau"Tit and un changeable policr of extravagance and reckless - appropriations. Tbis policy onc-j adopted vi:I not only bret-d corruption in public hid raid lennrakzatioa ia prr-ato mo, out will compel, iu periods rf depression, an increased rate of tax a" iou for tbo peo ple or an increase of thn bonded debc for tho s;overam9nt." Then stating that there is but one safe course, v"z : the reduction of tax ation to tho necessary requisites of an honest, emcieEi, admin stiatiou cf tuo Government, tha report di3euES2s tha question, "UpO'-i what articles shall the reduct on: be mado 1 Anl p-o- ceeds : '- The committee have deteriuiued to recommend a reduction of revenues from both customs and internal tax They have carefully kept in view at all times the interests of tha manu facturer, laborer, producer and con sumer. - The bill herewith rcpoited to the House is not offered as a perfect bill. Many article? are left subject to duty which might well be transferred to the free list. Many articles are left sub ject to rates of duty which might be lessened. In the progressive growth of our manufactures we have reached the point where iour capacity to produce is far in excess of the requirements of our home cohsumpt on. As a conse quence many; of our mills are closed, and many of ; those still in operation are running n short t ime. This con dition is hurtful to the manufacturer, to the laborer an l tho p-cducer of materials opsumad in manufacture. The manufacturer loses the profit on his capital, tho laborer loses h;s ; w.iges and ti e pro ducer of materials consumed a. man ufacture lost the market for his pro ducts, ilau'dfaturers ia many in stances, to i.;u&rd ag-iitnt losses by lower prices cause 1 by an over-supply in the home mirket, are brgan:z ing trusts, combinations and pools to limit the production and keep up prices. This vicious condition of businass could not exist with low du ties on imports. Prohibitory tariff? surround the country with lints of inves'ment and prevent all relief from without, wb.de trusts, combinations and pools plunder the people within. In a country like ours, prolific in its resources, vfhere the awards of labor are large, the capitalist may by such method keep his investments secure and still make profits, but what is to become of; the laborers who are thrown out;of employment by stop ping the wheels of machinery and limiting the amount of production ? And what to become of the pro ducer of materials to be consumed by the manufacturer? When the fires are shut out, thr laborer and mate rials are shut efft the same time, for both are gona Whether they labor in the factory or tho field; whether they producs cotton, woo), hemp, flax, coal or ore; whether tha product ci tteir daily labor is cloth, iroD, steel, I boots or shoes, t'aoy must have con stant empl6ym"nt to obtain fcr thei-i selves and families the Efen.Jc: :-'i and comforts of life. When out rf employment with rations cut .-iiort, with low prices for their products, causod by the closing of th; market, they btill muni, pay Tor whatever tieir dady wants require the prices which the trusts have fixed. What is the remedy for this wrong? It is mora extended ma' kets for the sale of oar products, and con stant and active competition in busi ness. With active competition, com binations and pools art impossible. With the markets of the world open to us our manufacturers may run their mills on full time, give cous'ant employment, to their laborers, with a steauiiy increasing rato ol wages. With the markets of the world open to tee sal& of their products they will create an active and constant demand far all raw materials required in man ufacturing, which will stimulato, pro mote and reward the wool grower and producer of cottpn, hemp, flax, hides, ores and other materials of manufacture. The annual product of our manu factures is now estimated at 7,000, 000,00(1, of which amount we export only $ 136,000,000, or les thau two percent.? Ir w-e could obtan free of ! duty such nr.- ..--".Ti' : a- v- . r,r -. rrodK-Tf.icnd t .u i -c;.' si I ? . : . ...

If there should bo no duty ca any material entering into manu'actures, many articles now mado abroad would be mad9 at home, which, while St would give more em-ployia-nt to ur own labgrerp, would givo a better market to mdDy articles which wo produce and which enter inro manufactures, such as coltor, wool, nemp, $ux and others. Iu starting on this policy we have transferred many articles fiom the dutiable to the free list Revenues now received on theee articles amount to $22,189,505. Three fourths of t? is amount is collected on articles that enter into manufacture?, of which wool and tin plates are the most im portant. The revenues derived from wool during the last fiscal year amounted to $5,899,816 63, and reve nue from tin plates to $5,306,433 OS. The repeal of all duties on wool en ables us to reduce duties on manu factures of wool $12,332,211. 65. The largest reduction wo have made is in the woolen schedulp,acd this reduction was only made possible bv putting wool on the free liaf. There is no greater Eeed for duty on wool than these i3 for: duty on any other raw material. The duty ou wool makes it neceasary to impose a higher duty on goods mad -a from wool, and the con- sumer has tb pay a doublo t&x. If wa leave wo'l untaxed tho consumer has to pay tax only on the manu factured cools. The Wool Growora association asked us to put cu a duty high enough to jyeveut the importation of ali iv go's.-. If Conre&j giants this joint request, what are people to do for woolen clothing? Are the people to bo compelled bv Congress to wear I cotton goods :n winter or go with out, to givo Dounnes to trie wool growers andjwool manufacturer.? In tho woolen Schedule wo b.ave substi tuted ad vajori m for epecihe duties. Specific duties a-o favorites of those who r.ro to be benefited by high rates, who aro pro'ected against eoru-P'-tiiior, and protected in combina tions against the consumer of their products, for partjof the consumer's tax repays the manufactu-cr. An ad va lorem rate taxes evert hing according to its value.; A duty ot forty per cent ad valorem would Lave impoeed a tax of $144 cn a yard of broadcloth and thirteen cents on cotton warp cloth, which costs 45 conts, and the duty "vould; have been fair to both. As it it, the tax is ISO per cent on chesp cloth and 59 per cent on high priced broadcloth. In cotton goods the schedule was tho same 'vicious, inequable and illogical,' the results of boetiHc taxation. " A decrease of the production of hemp atd flax under the duty is dis cussed, and reasons are given for placing then on the free list, also, briedr, jthe reductions cn earthen and glassware and steel rails. Oa sugar the report cays : "We hare reduced the revt'nue re ceived from sugar about twenty per cent, and extended fi'st clas from No. 13 taNo 1G, Dutc'a standard of color. Sugars between Nos. 13 and 16 are grades of brown sugars which can go into Consumption without refining, and consumers may protect them solvei against trusts and combina tions by purchasing these grades of imported sugars when the price of refined is put up and kept up by or ganized trjusts of domestic manufac turers. The rate of all sugars above No. 16 is jeduced, so that foreign r,e fine I sugars may bo imported to pre vent high prices and protect consum ers again sjt combinations." The report concludes : "The bijU which the committee re ports provides for th2 repeal of all restrictions on the sale of tobacco by producers!, and for tho repeal of afl taxes on tobacco except on cigars, cigarettes! and cheroot, and of all privileges and licensa taxes except those for i manufacturing and pelling cigars, cigarettes ana Cheroots. 1 he President In .Vcn Vork.

Special to the NeSrs and Observer. Toronto, Canada, March 31. The Raleigh boodlers were accompanied here by a little negro who acted for them in the capacity of a valet and whom the detectives did not disturb. It is understood here that the charge of forgery will be pj-eferred against them when ithey come before the court tomorrow. It has been shown here recently that they cannot be punished or h inging stolen money into Canada,; although such a charge may be preferred as a pretext to gain time to make a more substantial charge. In a somewhat similar case here ame tirne ago a charge of bring ing etolen money into Canada was pr'prred, bht nothing could be made outof it and the prisoners wer ac quitted and : their stolen money wes given back to them. , MS. EUSBE AND PARTY EN ROUTE. Washing ton, March 31 District Attorney Bqsbee and Chief of Police Heartt, of iltaleigh, N. .C , paused through Washington today on their way to Toronto, Cansd, after the defaulting officers of the State Na tional Bank of Raleigh, and while here had short conference with the Comptroller, in regard to the affairs of that bank. CROS .'AND WHITE IN COURT. Torhnto. Ont., March 31. Charles E. j Cross, : president, and Samuel C.j White, cashier, of the Stat 9 National Bank of Raleigh, N. C, ipearetl in the police court to- day. Cross was very paie and both were percspt.bly-nervousl Their counsel was N. G- Bigelow. Col. Denion, the police magistrate, rea l the following telegrams, which were received today: Washington, D. C-, March 31 To U. S. iro))suf, Toronto: "The treasury department are ad vised of th arrest iu Toron'o of two forgers frpm the United Stales named Crofe3 and White. Have the prisoners iletained. Witnesses are on their wjy. (Signed, Rives, j Arst. Sec'y of State, : Washington." The following dispatch was also received by Chief Of 1'olice Grassett to Jay: "A Un ted States Marshal left for Torortto yesterday with ample evidence 6f forgsry in their case. Vfiil reachi Toronto! tomorrow. Hold prisoners till the arrival of these offi cers and papers. (Signed A lf, A. Thompson, j Mayor of Raleigh." Mr. Bigjelow said that a removal until Tuesday without formal au thority or; information would be sat isfactory to bis clients- The prison ers were accordingly remanded. Ci.OEsIaND WHITl I5TEBVIEWED. Neither Cross nor White was feel ing very ! well when called on at the jail Jfor an interview. They were extremely reticent and refused to say anything that would at all make them identified with the crime which they stand charged. "All we can or will say ib" said Cross, "that we had a hard time before we started, a hard time getting here and a still harder time on our arrival. Last night we gave a dispatch to a constable at the station and I pre sume it ia true. It was to Heartt and told him to come along and get us as quick as he could. We are sorry that we left at all and will ba glad to get back. We don't want anything said in the papers about this thing and want tp go back ( quietly ; and without any fuss.' Cross say3 that the bank was ruin ed by bad investment t before be took charge of it and that he is sick of the whole business. This was all the men would say, and no amount of ques tions could elicit anything further. Neither Cross nor White have a cop per. The detectives made a clean sweep of their boodle before they had time to get away with it or place it vhere it eo uld not be found. Cross seems to feel his position keenly, but White, who i)s a much older man, is perfectly unmoved and behaves with most admirable "sant; froid." It is just a question whether, after all, the men will go back quietly or fight extradition. Their counsel, Mr. Bigelow said: "I saw Cross and White last night and they both told me that ithey were prepared to fight to the bitter end and would not go back cfj their o wn accord. They claim that the money found on them is their bwu and that the charges of forgery; preferied againut them are false and groundless. You can say that it will be a fight 'o the death." This! statement does not, certainly, tally with those expressed by the prisoners to other parties, but it may be that just now they do not know their own minds is to what course they will pursue; ' ." The ; negro servant who accom panied! the two .- white boodlers to Toronto proves to have been the janitor of the bank. He crossed the line three hours before the first Of his masters, it is suspected with supplies of money for their families. If the Raleigh author ities had shown; any kind of diligence he could have been scooped in with the otier two. ! The boodlers, at the request of the parties now in charge of tho .broken bank at Raleigh, wired to tucti the combination of the sale of the institution. AND t'BOSS tEMANTBD TILL ! j MONDAT. TorLnto, March 31. Samuel C. Whitei and C. F. Crces, the abscond ing' officials of the SUte National BarA of Kaltigh, North Carolina, wore brought before a police magis trate this morning and remanded till Monday to await the arrival of wi' nesee3 and papers from Raleigh. Our reporter is evidently in bliss ful ignorance of the fact that the ne gro porter has already been "scooped," or rather took pains to "scoop" him self. The Raleigh authority, as we all know, here, have shown not only due diligence, but most praiseworthy zeal, activity and vigilance in this matter. Ed. N. & O The ApproprtutloQ Bills. By Telegraph to the J,'ews and Observer. Washington, CD. C, March 31 The first of the regular annual appro priation bills that for the West Point Accademy, reach the Senate committee on appropriations yester day. It is Dot within the recollec tion of the most experienced Senators that this has ever before occurred at bo late a period in the long ses sior, though the records as the dates have not been closely examined for more than balf a dozen years. In the long Be6si0n of the 47th Congress 6 of the fourteen annual appropriation bills and in that of the 48th three of them had rcsched the Senate commit tee before the middle of March. In the long session of the last Congress ihfi firet, Hill made its appearance on the fourth ah 1 the second ca th" 24th of March.

This strike! which by tonight may include every I division of the St. Paul system, is the ' result of yesterday's work at the yards.

Earling at an early hour this morning ; ha refused to eay anything Tha strike was . not declared by any organization or brotherhood, st least not formally. The men say that it is entirely indi v'dual action od their part. Even if the strike extends no farther than at this witing the effect will be a prac tical suspension of business on the entire system. The Pnn-Hand!c switchmen s'ruck work at midnight. They had been on the verge of a strike for several hours, owing to dif-satisf action re sulting from the receiving cf a "Q" freight train. The men. all quit at 12 o'clock and returned after being out a half hour. The engineers took their engines out of tho round house and commenced work, but the switchmen quit again at 1 30 o'clock this morning, and de clared that not a man would go to woik at 7 o'clock, when the day men we'e due to go on duty. THB 8ITUATION MORS SERIOUS. Chicago, Illinois, March 31. The strike situation this morning is more serious. Business on the Chi cago division of the St. Paul road is at a standstill, ail the road's men, including engineers, firemen, switch men and bratemer, having been or dered out last night. No train of any description has been moved today by union men, and all subur ban residents dependent on this - road are stranded at their, homes and unable to reach the city. All switch engineers and switchmen in the Pan-Handle yards reported for work at 7 o'clock in spite of their reported decision to strike today and at 9 o'clock they are working as usual.
