The sixteenth annual session of theJNorth Carolina Teachers' As pembly, which will be held at More head City June 13th 18th, prom ises to be one of the most 'pleasant and profitable In the history of the association. This will be the only meeting of the teaching profession,' as one great body, held in North Carolina this year, and erery teach er should make preparations to at tend. Railroad fares of one fare and less have been secured, while rates of one dollar per day will pro Tail at the Atlantic Hotel. The secretary, Prof. T. Whitsett, of Whitsett, will fumishjany desired information. One thing tnat possibly is not -sufficiently considered with refer ence to the future of our commer cial interests in the West Indies and the Philippine islands is the fact that these new dependencies are already sufficiently populated, ays the Philadelphia Record. -The1 islands of Luzon and Porto Rico, for example, are much more densely inhabited than the state of Pennsylvania. There may ... be opportunity for the development of unproductive resources by the in troduction of machinery and the possible utilization of native labor, but climatic conditions as well as race conditions forbid permanent white immigration and make doubt ful the possibility of any immedi ate transplantation of free govern ment after the American pattern. become a mere tool under the con trol of the Russian governor-general, and imprisonment awaits those courageous Finns who shall pro test against their complete dena tionalization. The appeals of these wretched- people to the United States and Europe for protection from the pitiless oppression of the Czarmust fall on deaf ears so fair as the governments addressed arb concerned; but surely the pro foundest sympathy of the people at large will go out to the distressed! The decision of Judge Purnell in the Wilkes county bond case should have a salutary effect upon the de plorable practice of repudiation. Of late certain municipalities in North Carolina seem to have a mania for repudiating honest debts, and the result of such a spirit, un less checked, will have a bad effect on the interests of the state. Peo ple having capital to invest do not care to go to a state noted for re pudiating its honest debts, and it will certainly be more difficult to secure purchasers for other bonds. Repudiation is a nasty business, i any way you look at it, and should be stopped. We have not followed this Wilkes county case closely, but inasmuch as they have secured the railroad, which was the main -point in view, we do not see that they are warranted in seeking to escape the payment of the interest on the bonds. They were evident ly Jiot issued in the hope of realiz ing directly on the investment. A Steward in Trouble. Newport News, Va., April 16 First Steward John Hanhalan, of the transport Ingalls.which brought Secretary of War Alger from Ha vana to Old Point Comfort, is un der arrest on board that ship as the result of an interview which appeared j in a morning paper charging, on the authority of Han halan, that the commissary depart ment of the transport is in incom petent hands. In the interview he declared thai the system of select! iog the force in his department was at fault, saying .that Captain Wright employed the men at tbe( instance of some organization or other, the members of which knew nothing of the qualifications neces sary and were more interested in securing the' men jobs than in the welfare of the service. The most serious part of the charge, bowl! ever, was in connection with Secre tary Alger's trip. Hanhalan says that "heavy biscuit and sloppy cof fee, bajf-done meats and half cooked vegetables" were served up to the distinguished voyagers and that in other respects the service was nothing like it should have been under the circumstances. Hanhalan declared that he knew he was laying up a big consignment of bother for himself in making the statements, but said he did not care so long as the matter was brought to the attention of the authorities at Washington. Heal o said he would welcome an inves tigation. It is more than probable that he will secure his wish, as First Officer Eisler today had him! arrested on the charge of making false statements about the condi tion of affairs aboard the ship: Of course the officers deny Han f halan's statements, but it will probably require an official investi gation into the matter whether they are true or false. to decide Toe iron hand of the Czar of Russia (h who is endeavoring to have the would believe that his peace congress proposition's based upon humanitarian grounds) is being severely felt by the wretched people of Finland. The recital' of the Russian ruler's cruel aggression in that unhappy northland consti tuted a chapter in the world's his tory which mankind will read with horror and shame. He has made one of his harshest subjects governor-general of Finland, with 3n limited authority; he has decreed that the use of the Russian lan guage shall be obligatory in the national university, and the Finnish professors therein have been dis placed by haughty-Russians; Fin nish coins must be melted down, and the farm lands are to be con fiscated.

New Yobk, April 16.-i-The cele-j bration attending the return of the United States cruiser Raleigh from Manila occurred today. The Ral eigh, accompanied by two small war vessels captured from the Spaniards'last summer and a fleet of twenty-five excursion steamers and tug-boats, paraded - - from' Tompkinsville to Grant's Tomb! and from there back to an anchor age in the North River, off Thirty-! fourth strset. It would have been: difficult to select more inclement or disagreeable weather than that! which prevailed all the time that: the Raleigh was passing in review! before the thousands of enthusias tic people who lined the river banks and gave her their hearty cheers of welcome home. - . v The air was raw and the officers and men of the Raleigh stood upon the decks three hours, drenched to the skin and shivering with the ' d There were very few people; along the river front in the lower part of the city, owing partly to the weather and partly! to the fact that the entrances to the piers are generally closed on Sundays. But great crowds assembled in River side Park, overlooking the Hudson, and men, women and children stood -there for hours under um brellas, watching the vessels on their way up the river and on their return.': ,!', , Wheeler's Defense. Washington, April 15. General Wheeler has prepared an elaborate defense for bis conduct in claiming to be a member of congress while holding a commission in the army, and directly attacks the logic and consistency of Reed and Bailey. General Wheeler asserts that no one reveres the constitution more than himself, that congress has! never expelled a man for accepting a volunteer commission, that deci sions of the highest courts are that the inhibition applies to perma nent, not temporary, positions, and that the Attorney General decides to the same effect, i He reviews all the precedents cited by the judici ary committee and maintains that congress lias never unseated a member who was holding a mili tary commission. General Wheeler accuses Reed and Bailey of con stantly allowing the house to carry on business in defiance of the con stitution, and cites several instan ces where they have either advo cated or not opposed such meas The Ghost-Like Pope. London, April 17. The Rome correspondent of The Daily Newp, describing the thanksgiving mass yesterday at St. Peter's cathedral, says: "When the Pope came into view the people whispered. v He had the appearance of a ghost when his face, overshadowed by the glit tering tiara, became discernable with the' dark eyes peering from the dark sockets. His hands trembled violently and a sad smile played over the colorless lips. ' Hol bein might have painted him then as the personification of the vanity of human splendor. V "With his left hand he waved sad greetings, while the right did its feeble best to mark the act of blessing. During the mass he sat with folded hands. Twice be rose, and he- was supported while he knelt in prayer, reading the' bene diction. His voice was scarcely audible, but in the absolute silence bis first words were caught by the assembled multitude. 1 4He tried to raise himself, but fell J back and pronounced the re mainder in a recumbent position. A loud cry, like the bursting of a storm,, broke from the congrega tion, and. the Pope, stretching hi hand in benedction, was carried out." !-.-,..' !-:,r.y ? Time Extended One Year Washington," April 16. Mort gage obligations in Cuba will be extended another year. This ex tension will be limited to debts secured by mortgage or ground rents. The representatives of the Cuban cabinet council who have been here for some days, asked for the extension of these obligations for! periods ranging up to six years. JL ney also aesirea tnat debtors be relieved entirely from the payment of interest pending final liquidation. - This proposition was not ap proved by the officials in Wash ington, and it was suggested to the Cubans that their course would permanently, injure the credit of the island. They were told, how ever, that if, at the end of the year, a further extension for a lim ited time seemed necessary, and the United States was still in con trol of the island, it might be granted, but no obligation would now be assumed for a longer period than one year. wart Again Appointed. .Washington, April-13.--Judge H. G. Ewart is again duly author ized to don the ermine and dis pense justice in the Federal court of the western district of North Carolina. The uncertainty as to his tenure of office was today re moved when the President reap pointed him. This is the third time Judge Ewart has been ap pointed to the office and in all probability will again be? nomi nated for the position when the senate again convenes. It is due to the tenacious and in defatigable efforts of .Senator Pritchard that Judge Ewart "has been held in . office. The bitter fight made by Senator Butler and others during two sessions of the 'senate is a matter of history. Al though temporarily victorious, Senator Butler has lost all'the ad vantage gained in the senate, as the President, with his appointive power, has been with Ewart. - McKinley's Plan. New Yobk, April 14. A Wash ington dispatch ce the Herald: say s : "The diplomatic service is threat ened with Algerism. I understand that President McKinley fully agrees with his political advisers that Alger must be unloaded from the cabinet. He has hit upon this plan for allowing him to get out gracefully. - He is to be given the Paris mission in place of Ambassa dor Porter, who is slated for the War Department portfolio. Half of Alger's most intimate friends bave been sounded on the question during the Secretary's absence. The suggestion is to be made that Mr. Alger's healths requires a change of climate ; that Paris will be particularly beneficial, and that as the ambassadorship carries more pay , than a cabinet position the change will be in the nature of a promotion.1- Thus Mr. -Alger will be spared the mortification of being dismissed by the President. Mail Route Across Arctic Circle. Washington, April 14. -It has been decided by the Postoffice De partment to establish a postal route in Alaska which shall cross the Arctic circle. One mail route now operated touches the Arctic' circle, but the one proposed goes several miles beyond. The new route will go from St. Michael to Unalakik, Eaton Reindeer Station and head of Norton bay to Kotzebue, with a branch from the head of Norton bay to Golovin bay. The purpose is to provide the miners. and mis sions, with a winter service, for dur ing the summer mail can be carried to the points named by sailing vessels.: Election IUota in Spain, j Madrid, April 17. -During elecr tion riots at Bilboa, 26 persons were wounded. Popular feeling runs high in Valencia and the surrounding district! There was a serious affair in the town of Por to 8, province of. Taragona, where, the official candidate being beaten, municipal officials fired guns at the crowd, injuring a. number of perf Sons. : ! ' - v ; ! The Socialists are preparing to make a demonstration at Bilboa as a protest against the defeat of their candidate, which, they! allege, was due to the scandalous conduct of police provocateurs in instigating disorders."

The trial of United States Sena tor Matthew 8.' Quay, of Pennsyl vania, for conspiracy in misappro priating certain state funds is still in progress. Some 1 strong evidence against Quay has been introduced and it looks as if he might be convicted. Meanwhile the deadlock in the Pennsylvania legislature is still on.
