The fact that American citi zens hold valuable concessions in the disputed territory may add to the complications as far as this Govern ment is concerned. In View of the fact that withm the past six months this country exported to Europe 1,600,000 barrels of apples and 2,846,645 pounds of dried apples the grim humor of protection to American apples as provided by the McKinley bill will be appreciated. .

IS IT REALLY A LAW OF THE 8TATE. Aottcn Taken by Governor Carr to Deter min9 "the Matter Papers Filed in the Case of Stanford vs. J. C. Ellington, State Librarian Petition for Commuta tion of Sentenoe of Mills, the- Con demned ' Murderer The 7 Hew City Charter of Baleigh Baas Ball. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C April 6. A petition is being circulated about the city in behalf of George Mills, the condemned murderer, urging the Gov ernor to commute the death sentence. The petition has about 1,000 signatures. There is a constant demand for it about the city. There are not fifty people in Raleigh who believe Mills to be as guilty as Wimberly, who coes free. The papers here made sport of the Wimberly decision. The Board of Aldermen held their. first meeting for several months last night. They decided to construct a building for the Fire Department at a cost not exceeding $4,000. There has been a game of base ball here every day this week except Mon day. The attendance has been unusually large. Parties here, from Durham and Wins ton are advocating the organization of a State League of ball teams. The oppor tunity is ripe. When the new city charter was adop ted the old charter was annulled and so were the city ordinances. It was devel oped at the meeting of Aldermen last night that the Mayor had been running the court without any ordinance The Board adopted the old ones. Mr. N. is. tsrouchton, .of the pnnttne firm of Edwards & Broughton to-day, denied the rumor current on the streets that he would head an independent citizens ticket. A section in the new city charter savs that all real and personal property shall be taxed as other property, whether held and owned by churches, religious organ izations or societies, schools, benevolent organizations or otherwise. This sec tion of tbe bill has just been brought to light, and it is eliciting condemnation oh all sides. The first issue of the Outlook made its appearance to day. Rev. R. H. W. Leak, the negro political preacher, is the man aging editor. Leas controls three- fourths of the negroes of Raleigh. His influence is poweriul among the colored race here. 4 The Governor this morning took ac tion as a private citizen against Oct. Coke, in issuing a summons to the clerk of the court. As no complaint has been yet filed, it is impossible to tell just what action will be taken. It is, of course, presumed that he will follow out the in structions in Attorney General Os borne's letter. Tbe object is to deter mine whether or not the assignment law is really a law at alL Hon. Thos. K. Purnell, counsel of Mr. E. D. Stanford, to-day took action against J. C. Ellington, State Librarian. Mr. Purnell filed papers with Cleric ol tbe Court Young. The case is entitled. The Attorney General ex rel E. D. Stan ford vs. J. C Ellington. The plaintiff. E. D. Stanford, complaining of the de fendant, T. C. Ellington, alleges : 1. That on tbe 13th day ol March, 1895, he. the plaintiff, was duly elected State Librarian by the General Assem bly of North Carolina under the pro visions of an act of the General Assem bly, duly ratified on the 13th day of March. 1895. 2. That plaintiff has executed a bond as provided by law with good and sum cient security as such State Librarian, tendered the said bond to tbe uovernor and Secretary of State, who refused to acceot or file the same or to otherwise qualify the plaintiff or induct him into the office ot state UDranan. 3. That defendant s term of office as State Librarian terminated on the 15th dav of March, 1895, but defendant re fused and strll refuses to surrender said office or permit plaintiff to enter in, ex ercise the duties thereof, or draw the alary thereof, but holds over contrary to law. 4. That defendant has demanded a surrender of said office by the said J. C. Ellington before the commencement of this action and defendant, refused and still refuses to surrender said office or permit plaintiff to discharge the duties thereof. This is Mr. Stanford's case and it will come up at the next term of the Supen or Courfof Wake county, which con venes on the 22nd of April, Judge Star- buck presiding. Mr. Purnell, of course, says bis client will win. HON. GEORGE DAVIS. A Tribute of Bespeot and Sympathy from Cape Fear Camp Confederate Veterans. The following is a copy of an address presented to Hon. George Day is by the committee appointed for that purpose. in pursuance ot the instructions given at the meeting of Camp Fear Camp last Monday night: Cape Fear Camp No. 254, TJ, C V., F Wilmington, N.

C..V Honored Sir At its annual meet ing, on April 1st, this Camp was notified of your indisposition, which occasioned thi liveliest thrill of recret.and oromoted to the most profound sympathy.

The War BetweenCthe Southern Zand the Seaboard Air Line Who Oeta the Bualneaa. Since the Seaboard Air Line made its sweeping reductions in passenger rates to and from Eastern points, not many weeks ago, it has been disputed as to which of the rival lines caught the bulk of the traffic - Tbe Southern Railway officials, savs the News and Courier, were loud in their claims the first few days that the Southern had lost nothing by the Sea board's cut, the claim being that they had tbe old and reliable line, and there fore caught the business in spite of the reduction to nearly half price tickets on the part of the Seaboard. The Seaboard people, on the contrary ( claim that there is no comparison in the traffic handled by the two companies and that the Sea board is the line that the people are patronizing. There never was such a diversity of opinion on any one single question ot railroading. The rivalry is intense and the soliciting men of both roads, the Seaboard and . the Southern, are working like Turks for business It is claimed by the Seaboard people that they are hauling thirty, forty, fifty, sixty and as high as sixty five passengers each day out of Atlanta on through tickets. This claim, the soliciting agents say, needs nothing but a glance at tbe cars as they go out side by side to verify -the seaboard s and the Southern s. The two fast trains of the two systems depart from the Union Passenger depot in Savannah at exactly the same hour every day, and it is an interesting sight to see the enthusiastic railroad soliciting agents hurrying to and fro with their passengers. ' The Seaboard folks say that n is funny to them that the Southern should apply to the Inter State Commerce Commis sion for the privilege to cut through rates without cutting local rates ia order to compete with their recently reduced rates to and from Eastern points, un less the Southern is feeling the loss of business brought on by the Seaboard's cut. The Southern people, on tbe con trary, will say that they have suffered nothing in their business from Alanta and from the East in consequence of tbe Seaboard s action. THE ASSIGNMENT LAW. The Position ot The "Star" Sustained by the Besult in the Supreme Court. Its careful and conservative treatment of all public questions has given the Star a reputation for reliability that has been a material factor in building up the paper to its present standard. "Think twice before you speak once" has always been one of its mottoes; and this was applied to the fraudulent assignment law which was unearthed some ten days ago. Although the opinion of newspapers and lawyers was almost unanimously the other way, the Star promptly ex pressed its view of the law as follows:, "The title of the Act seems to settle the question of intention, which was to regulate assignments and other convey ances of like nature. But many persons, among them some Raleigh lawyers, ap- pear to think that all sorts of mortgages are affected. The Star does not be lieve thereis a court in North Carolina that will sustain this view. There is no reason to suppose that the law will in validate a mortgage given to secure a bona fide loan made at the time the mort gage is executed. The decision of Judge Green, of the Superior Court, followed by that of the Supreme Court, delivered Friday, fully sustains the position of the Star. Judge Avery dissented, but this action was not based on the merits of the question, but on the point that the case passed as pre sented to the Court was not properly constituted. Vision in the City, Some of the party of farmers from .Western States who are on a prospect ing tour in Eastern North Carolina, came to Wilmington yesterday and last night favored the Star with a call. The visitors were Messrs. O. L. Perceval, Champaign, 111.; H. Lewis, Jos. Deckey, Grant Park, Ills.; A. R. Blakley, Alpoc- ca. Mien.; J. Hastings, waiao, -wis.; Chas. Proctor, Havanna, Ohio. They said that they had received cordial greeting everywhere and were well pleased with the North Carolinians they had met. They are staying at the Pur cell House, and will look at farming lands in this vicinity before they take their departure to join-their fellow trav ellers. O. O. F.
