The Bear Backed Out. ,
London. March ll.--The Britiih
lion and the Rueeian bear came to
uncomfortably close quarters) this
week over the Chinese imbroglio.
The newspapers! had already begun
to talk of a serious crisis and a
grave outlook, but the diplomatic
switchmen again succeeded in
warding off a collision on the sub
ject of the ! Northern Bailroad, a
conflict being averted by a Russian
backdown, according to the jingoes,
and by a compromise according to
more impartial observers. ' j
The-real explanation .of the af
fair appears to be that Russia made
a protest against the British Rail
road contract, partly as a feeler
and partly as a warning. If the
British premier had shown weak
ness, Russia would have persisted,
but, in any case, Bussia, by her
protest, elicited a ministerial state
ment in the House of Commons
that the conditions of the loan did
not constitute foreign control.
Thus Bussia obtained a pledge that
no such interpretation would be
placed on the contract in the place
of default, which is a further sub
stantial concession on the Russian
claims in Northern China.. On the
other hand, Lord Salisbury scored
in securing a withdrawal of the
Russian protest. v j

The Capital Printing Company
yesterday, through counsel, gave
notice to Dr. Cyrus xnomppon,
Secretary of State, that it intends
to test the validity of the contract
for the oublic Drintinar entered into
betwens the firms of Edwards &
Broughton and . M. Uzzell and
the joint printing committee of the
legislature.
Through counsel, Mr. B. H. Bat
tle and Mr. Alex J. Fields, the Cap
ital Printing Company has served
a notice on the Secretary of State
forbidding that officer from deliv
ering any of the publip printing,
manuscript, etc., to any printing
firm other than the Capital. The
contract with Edwards and Brough
ton and E. M. Uzzel is declared to
be unconstitutional and void in 'so
far as it impairs the obligation of
the contract theretofore existing
between the state and said Capital
Printing Company, j
Dr. Thompson is paying no at
tention to the protest. He recog
nizes Messrs. Edwards and Brough
ton and E. M4 Uzzell as publio
printers,, and will issue all copy to
those firms. Raleigh Post, 14th.
Tom Jones' Awful Death.
Tom Jones, the horse trader and
farmer, met death this morning
shortly after 2 :30 a. m. at the Car
aleigh switch, about 100 yards
west of I the penitentiary, on the
track of the Southern Railway.
No. 12, the Southern's vestibule
mail from Knoxville, Tenn.,
brought Tom Jones' career to a
sudden end. The train was mak
ing its trip under the new schedule
this morning.
The train -was approaching the
city at a rapid speed about 2:40 a.
m. The engineer says be saw a
man sitting on the edge of the
track. He blew the whistle when
he first saw the man, who was in
sensible to all warning. Before
the train could be stopped the pilot
struckthe sleeper and ended his
life. The train was stopped and
the porter lelt to guard the body.
Two hours afterwards it was iden
tified as that of Tom Jones. Sun

lodge'r'furniture and was turned
over to John N. Vass, agent of the
lodges. M 1

To Minimize the Risk.
Washinotow, March , 10. The
method of transporting $3,000,000
in coin to Cuba for the payment of
native troops was discussed briefly
at the regular meeting of the cabi
net today. It was decided that the
money should not all be risked on
one steamship, but that two or
more vessels should be employed in
transporting it, so as to reduce the
danger of loss.
For the purpose of experiment,
the administration has determined
to enlist some native troops in
Cuba and the Philippines, and pos
sibly in Porto Rico. The natives
frill be trained with an intermix
ure of American soldiers. Sec
cretary Alger has authorized Gen
eral Otis at Manila and General
Brooke at Havana to organize a
battalion each of natives, but the
matter is left within their discre

Civil Government for Cuba.
Washington, March 10. The
Administration is, contemplating a
change in some features of the
government of Cuba. It is probable
that the military government will
to a certain extent be replaced with
civil government. The head of the
government, must of course, remain
military, but the change in con
templation is to have civil officers
in places of the military men in
the Cabinet and subordinate posi
tions. It is believed that experts
in different lines, such as finance
and revenue, and in the manage
ment of much of the general busi
ness of the island and of the differ
ent municipalities, will get along
more smoothly than the army offi
cers.
