The Senate proceeded to the consid
eration in open session of the fishery
treaty aid was addressed by Mr. Hoar
'B opposition to it. J .
t Mr. Hoar's allusion, to the? lack of
Bpjcial ability on the part of the
A,m9rican negotiators of the treaty,
was taken up and contested !; by Sena
tors Payne and Gray. In reply to a
rrueation by Mr. Payne, Mr: Hoar
said that when three men whoever
they were) were undertaking: to deal
With, the trained diplomats of Great
Britain, it was a very indiscreet thing
for them not to avail themselves of
the advice and assistance and sugges
tions of the reprepresentativ.es of the
fishery States inr the Senate and
House. J U .
; Mr. Gray Will the Senator from
Massachusetts undertake to ' say that
the negotiators on the American ide
of this treaty, ,Mr. Putnam : and, Mr.
A,Dgell (to say nothing of the Secre
tary of State) were inferior fti equip
ment for the duties imposodm them
to Mr. Chamberlain or to Mjr. Wst,
or that there was anything iiithe oc
cupation, history. or previous" Btudies
of these gentlemen which made them
at all superior in equipment; for ne
gotiation to either of the gghtlemen
I hare named.' One of them was,
certainly, not practised in diplomacy,
and the other was -not bo eminent that
apy fair American lawyer might f (far
iff come in competition with aim.
,Mr. Hoar I think they were. '; I
thick . that J the training of ' the Np w
England lawyer in a country city and
the training of the head of a Univer
sity in the West and the training of
an able and honored United Stages
Senator from Delaware (however hon
orable these positions and f anctidns
in, life may be), did not fit then) to
cope on terms of equality (e&hei in
diplomacy or special knowledges with
the men whom Qreat Britain sent; on
the other side, and I think that te
result of that diplomatic attempt, pn
the ; part of these gentlemen will
abundantly satisfy the Henato pt tlat
laet. ; ;
Mr. Gray What special training
had Chamberlain or West, f, whieh
rendered them superior to the Ameri
can negotiators ? '' )
"?Ir. Hoar I suppose that "it t$d
been the business of Mr. West) o
study the question for the last ten
years. ' s j i
Mr. Gray And what better:, selec
tions eould have been made in this
country where we have no trained
scBool of diplomatists.
Mr. Hoar I think that Frte
or Mr. Treecot or Mr. Woddbury
jvoirld hare saved bs from the dis
grace and humiliation of this treatt.
Mr, Hoar, commenting on an intima
tion in Mr. Morgan's speech On the
treaty to the effect that, if the ques
tion were snbmitted to the South be
tween free fish and war with Grefct
Britain the result would be in) I av(jr
of the former. raid a hich comDll
meat to the courage, constancy affee
tioi for home and State and capacity
for great affection and for generoup
emotions which had characterized the
leaders of the Southern Confederacy
andexpressed his conviction that 3
Senatorj-rom that Bection, $9 of
whdm had served in the confederate
army, would not be willing J(wSen it
was a question of insult and dishonor
to the United States) to take ' their
tone from the Secretary of State of
the Senator from Alabama. There
was.no occasion, he said, for & note
of war. Firmness, strength, calmneet)
and dignity in understanding' ao
maintaining the just rights ol th
United States would be much mor
likelv to insure peace than was the
yielding diplomacy of the administrsr-
tionc & . '
The delivery of Mr. Hoar's speech
(although, some portions of it ' wer
omitted) occupied a little over! four
hours. For the most part 1 it had
been in type for several wests, but
some portions of it were eitetupo
rized during much of the time Oecu
pied, ; There was very fair attendance,
01 senators on bom sides or the
chamber, and during the whole time
the Senators who were present paid
me closest attention to tue speeQ.
At the close Mr. Hoar was compli
mented by several of the Republicans
Senators. ' 1 :
Tlie. Senate then passed from 6ioci

IV CHI-
Arra( of Brotherhood Officer Charged:
with Conspiracy.
Cuicaoo, July 10. Chairaiau Hoge
had nothing to say regarding the ar
rest of Kagineer GeJiing Ust eve
ning except to reiterate his former
statement that the Brotherhood would
protect no guilty man "What as to
your alleged statement that there
may be a general strike all over the
country V asked a reporter. "I
meant nothing further than ;hat if
the 'Q' road should arrest soma of
the Brotherhood leaders there would
be a complete cessation of work. If
Arthur had been arrested when that
subject was agitated it would have
stopped every wheel in the country.
I think it would be the same if I
should be arrested. They have gono
no further among our officers than
Baueriseu and that's enough."
TWO CHAIRMEN ARRESTED.
Chairman Hoge, of the grievance
committee of the Brotherhood of
Engineers, and Chairman Murphy,
occupying the same position in the
Firemen's Brotherhood, were arrested
at their rooms in the National Hotel
this morning, xne pnsone s were
taken completely by surprise. Bjth
men were taken to police headquar
ters and locked up. The two chiefs
were charged with conspiracy. The
much talked of circular in which Hoge
is alleged to have requested Brother
hood men to hire themselves secretly
to the "Q" road and then to disable
engines, is said to be the basis of the
charge against Hoge. Chairman Mur
phy is charged with leing an accom
plice. General Manager Stono sworo
out warrants last night and they were
given to officers to be served early
this morning. Attorney Colyer, of
the "Q" road, said this morning t?at
the prisoners would b9 arraigned be
fore a justice and a continuance t v
ken, as the company was not yet re.vly
to push its case. He asserted, how
ever, that the evidence in the posses
sion of the company was conclusive.
Hoge and Murphy have bsen bailed
in $l,o00 each to answer Saturday
Unlike the other strikers arrested
they are arraigned under the State
not the federal statutes. Two other
names were on the list with tu2a

and John H. McGillavary. A mid
night consultation of the officers of
the company led to the arrests,
Two or three detectives, mana

night on the evidenco against the

WiLMiSGTOs, N. C, July 9, 1888.
It was the writer's good fortune
to witness this evening one of the
grandest and most enthusiastic Dem-
cratic celebrations known before in
the history of the State.
The Young Men s Democratic
Clubs of old Wilmington and the sur
rounding Cape Fear section, march
in front of the Orton House in a most
enthusiastic manner, give three cheers
for Judge Fowle, the next Governor
of North Carolina. He is then taken,
in company .with other members of
ho State ticket present, to the stand
es pecially erected for the occasion.
Ihe procession formed at the cor
ner of Chestnut and Third streets and
the line being formed, marched
through tne streets lighted with blaz
ing tar barrels and to inspiring music
to the Orton. It then proceeded to
the grand stand erected at the corner
of Third and Dock, which was briJ-
iantly illuminated with C hinese lan
terns.
Maj. O. M. Stedman was here,?waa
made president of the meeting,, fend,
after a rnKgnificant speech in his 'own
usual happy style, introduced,, in a
most eloquent and enthusiastic man
ner to a crowd of d,000, as the first
speaker, Judge Fowle, of Wake, tha
next Governor of North Chroltna, a
State at present in doubt, but oa'y in
doubt as to the probable majority it
would give Judge t owie in Movember
next, whether 40,000 or G0,000 !
At this juncture the enthusiasm
was unprecedented, and loud and con
tinued cheers were given for Judge
Fowle, who then took the stand and
for 30 minutes held this immense
audience Bpell-bound with his natural
eloquence, which was interrupted from
time to time with hearty applause and
the continued crowing of a "healthy
fwrl" placed on a stake in front of the
stand.
Ths vice-presidents were as fol
lows : G. W. Williams, T. D. Meares,
K. Lilly, Clayton Giles, A. D. Brown,
G. H. Smith, J. II. Davis, J. M. Wil
liams, A. Adrian, J is. Madden, A. J.
Yopp, Sara Bear, Jr., John S. Mc-
hachern, J. W. KoaliVj uoger Moore,
J. G. Oldenbuttel, M. Hankins, A.
Weill, Fred. Rhew, W. K. Bell, W. M.
Poisson, J.. Steveufaon, S H. Penny,
barles Schulken.
Judge Fowle's speech was grand in
the extreme. He really excelled him
self. This seems to be the common
verdict of the many hundreds present.
There were a large number of the
fair ladies of Wilmington present,
from whose hands Judge Fowle
received many handsome bou
quets. Ha was followed by Col.
Davidson, Maj. Fingor, Capt. Kihchin,
Ool. Sara Pemberton, Capt. LeGrand,
Ool. Steele, Dr. Sanderlin, and last
but not least, Col. Waddell, of Wil
mington. All of the speeches were of a very
high order, especially the two last.
Dr. Sanderlin "astonished the
natives. His speech was compli
mented very highly and with the ex
ception of Jadge Fowle, "waa re
garded as the speech of the occasion.
Thus closed one or the grandest po
litical demonstrations on record, but
many present were heard to ask often
and repeatedly for our pure noble
and honest Donald Bain, State
Treasurer, and the writer great
ly regretted his inability to
be present on ths occasion.
Too much praise cannot be said of
Maj. Stedman's courtesy to our visit
ing candidates. His manly bearing,
his general deportment on this occa
sion was a subject of general com
ment, and elicited universal praise.
There were none who didn't seem to
feel and to hope that he would be our
standard bearer in '92.
Old Wilmington has "started the
ball," and a start too it was. There
is "walking ahead" for Raleigh, New
Berne, Goldsboro and other points
contemplating like meetings, if they
even approximate the example here
set. The campaign beavers and
"bandannas" were hero displayed in
great profusion, lime and space for
bid furthvrnotice. We all feel glad
to have been here, and heartily say
"Three cheers for our national and
Stato ticket," and three cheers, for
Wilmington and the Cape Fear sec
tion." O. J. Caricui.i.
A Terrible Tragedy.
lit Tfli'Krapli to Hie. .Tews and Observer.
Cuicaoo, 111., Joly 10. A dispatch
rota Knoxville Tenn., Bays: The
Lauren Fork meeting house in White
ly county, Ky. , was on Sunday the
scence of a terrible tragedy, it was a
collision between the Rose and Fus
ton clans, rwhile services were in
progross. The feud had been in
existence between Michael Rose and
one of tho Fuston boys for some
time, over live dollars which the
former accused the latter of stealing
from him. A few weeks ago Fuston
waylaid Rose 'and seriously wound
ed him witu a Winchester rifle
Some time after that Rose shot at
Fuston from ambash and clipped off
one ear. From that.time on tlie feud
grew stronger, and last week
both parties, backed by a nutn
ber of friends ou either side
laid in a liberal supply of shot gun
and Winchesters, and a Icollision bo
came only a matter of time. It came
Sunday morning, and just as the min
lster of the little church was aunounc
iug his text, a volley of firearms was
discharged outside. The battle rage
fiercely between the two factions, and
when the smoke cleared away It was
foutid that Ewell Lawson and bis son
Johti, aged 18, belonging to the Rose
faction were dead, having been fairly
rut Jltul with buckshot, aud that three
of the Fusion boys, Tom, John and
Kuos and John Porter, belonging to
the u'.her said, were seriously and
perhaps fatally wounded. A dozen
others, whoso names could not be as
cerlained, were more or loss seriously
wounded. Great excitement prevails
in tho country, and the end is not yet.
Trouble is expected daily.

mproi ement of Georgia
Ris er and liar-
uor.
Washington, July 9. Lieut. O. M
Carter, of the Corps of Engineers, in a
eport to the War Department mie
gard to the improvement of rivers and
harbors in Georgia and northeast
Florida, describes the progress made
in each of the works during the past
year and makes estimates for their
continuance during the next year.
The total amount expended to June
30th last on Savannah harbor and
river was $1,031,581, and has resulted
in securing a navigable channel from
the city to the sea with the least mean
low water depth of 12 4, a gain of 3 4
since the work began. Ihe gain in
navigable depth is somewhat greater
and vessels of from 20 to 21 feet
draught now go from the city to the
sea on a single tide. J. he sum neces
sary to complete the improvement.
according to the plans for obtaining
29 1 eel 01 water iroui ma city to
the sea is estimated at $G,C60, '0,
of which amount $2,500,000 can . s
profitably expended during the next
fiscal year. The sum of $72,350 has
already been expended in securing a
low-water steamboat channel ui the
Savannah from Savannah to Augusta
and $100,000 is estimated as neces
sary to continue tho work during the
next fiscal year. The amount already
expended on Savannah river above
Augusta is $38,29 . It is not deemed
advisable to expend any more money
on this work until .the plan is per
fected for its permanent improvement
by a system of locks and dams.
Among the estimates in the report
are the following for work during the
next fiscal year: Altamaha river, $50,
000, Brunswick harbor, $97,500 and
Cumberland Sound $1,000,000.

Cor.
In your editorial column this morn
ing you say Master Tomniie Purnell,
candidate for Attorney-General, in hiB
maiden political speech in this city,
introduced Col. Dockery as Olver P.
Dockery and express seme surprise
that he should not have known Col.
Dockery's name. Master Tommie
Purnell, the only on I know of, is
not yet four years old. Rather young
to be a candidate for office but if at
that age he only made' the mistake of
one letter in an introductory speech,
it was a wonderful performance for
one so young. He is not a candidate
and if he wbb even at the speaking it
is news, to his mother and myself.
We did not know he was out.
If the article intended to refer to
me it is even more erroneous. I could
hardly be ranked as an old man, but
the time has long since passed when
I could with any propriety be called
Master Tommie Purnell. I am not a
candidate for Attorney-General, did
not have the honor of introducing Col.
Dockery and did not make a speech
of any kind on the occasion referred
to. Having devoted myself exclu
sively to the practice of law and the
real estate business for the past two
years, the item was indeed news to
me". Please make tho correction in
dicated and oblige,
