Bryan. Republican and Populist leaders hold a conference in Raleigh to see what can be done towards fusion; Marion Butler declares that a Demo crat will not be elected Governor. Arrangements between Great Britain and the United States in regard to the Ven ezuela boundary dispute are still in pro gress. - A firce fight occurred with strikers at Cleveland, Ohio, in which the militia used their bayonets; many were wounded on both sides.

The Augusta Chronicle remarks that "the more the ticket is dis cussed the bstter the people like it." The more it is cussed also by the rabid gold men the better the people will like it. A gold organ heads a dispatch an nouncing that Secretary Herbert will Jiot support the Cnicago ticket 'Herbert Not a Populist."

That sixteen-year old bo v who walked all the way from his home" in Arkansas to Washington to show an invention which he claimed would prevent vessels from sinkine. has pluck and perseverance to bank on, whether he have genius or not. As he failed to convince the naval con structor that his invention would do what he claimed, his trip was a failure, but he didn't become dis couraged, remarking: that he ex pected he would have to take it to Europe. The gold men say they are for 'sound money." They haven't got any patent right on that. We are all for sound jnoney. There is just a little hitch as to what sound money means. I be gold men contena mat only gold is sound money while the friendsNjf silver contend that the money which was sound money from the establishment ot the Government down to 1873 is soudd money yet. The New York Journal of Com merce and Commercial jsuuetin re marks that there was no agitation of the silver question until after 1873, when the priceofsilver began to fall. But there was no need for the agita tion before 1873, while t the mints were open to silver. It .was the ac tion against silver and its .disastrous results that made the agitation nec essary. One of Boston's richmen is quoted as saying that one of the greatest evils of the times is the de sire to accumulate wealth rapidly. This doesn't apply to the newspaper profession. We are never in a hurry to grab wealth, and are generally satisfied if we can get enough to eat, and gradually lay up a few millions for the rainy season. The courts are getting things badly mixed up in Kansas. By a re cent decision of the Court ot Ap peals, in which all the judges joined, all the divorces granted in that State for the past twenty-five years are il- egal. This puts between . 25,000 and 50,000 people in doubt as to what their marital status is. Some, of the gold organs have dis covered that Mr. Bryan used that crown of thorns" and "cross of gold" metaphor m a speech in the House, of Representatives in 1894. Well, suppose he did; a thought as strikingly phrased as- that was will bear repetition. A New York poultry man has a "human faced" hen that he found in coop shipped'irom Michigan. This hen turns up her nose (she has a nose) at corn and other chicken provender and insists on moistened bread and cake. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Virginia Military Institute. Str. Wilmington Schedule.

C, July 17, ,96. A few minutes walk from Wrights ville station, along a narrow, picturesque road, winding in a southeily direction and skirting the . broad expanse of Wrightsvllle Sound, j is Camp Nadal, abounding in beautiful mcsi covered trees, and blending with the white tents Into a lovely military picture. Upon the summit of a beautiful incline, the tents are pitched in full view ot "old ocean's wide and blue expanse," and directlv in front of Mr. Pembroke Jones' beautiful summer residence. The parade grounds are situated upon an elevated plateau, all the debris and undergrowth having been removed. ine encampment ot vt) is now a thing of the present. Blue coats and brass buttons greet us on all sides, white tents loom up around, and amid the bustle and hustle, the rap-tap of the drum and the orders of the officers, we realize that law and order are here; realize that the fljwer of the good old North State are "in times of psace pre paring for war' ready to undergo the hardships of war and prepared, should the occasion demand; it, to uphold with equal fortitude and honor the rcco:d of illustrious ancestors, i Yes, the boys of the gallant Second are here and with their coming, Wil mington throws open her heart and her homes and welcomes them one and all to the pleasures and privileges which the City by the Sea" affords. They are a manly, gallant-looking tet regular old tar-heels, with the same look of grit and determication stamped on their faces which gave to the gallant Pettigrew and his brave followers ah immortal place on the bloody pages of "Civil War His tory." The boys are here for a purpose, instruction and pleasure; and under the command of men learned in tactics and csid to discipline and order, it goes without saying that they will accomplish the purpose of their v'sit and return to their homes with a feeling of duty done. and at the same time well repaid by pleasures for the work undertaken. The boys mean business, and judging from the trim bearing and the qu;ck step of the companies as they marched over the shell-road 1 from Wrightsville depot to Camf the people of Wilming ton can look forward to some good drilling and pretty execution of difficult figures. The Hornet's Nest Riflsmen arrived over the S. A L. th.ii morning and were the first company to enter camp. They brought down a fine band, consisting of twenty pieces, with Drum Major Trasan at their head. I The Lumber Bridge Company arrived in the afternoon and proceeded directly to Camp. The Sampson Light Infantry and the Wilson Guards arrived on a special oyer the A. C. L. in the morning. Inspection was" held at the W. L.

' Immediately upon arrival at Wrights ville the companies marched directly to Camp Nadal and took position at once, An hour or so was given the soldier boys to fix up their tents. Uinner was served at 1.80 p. m. and a regular old Wrightsville dinner it was.

In a telegram to the Charlotte Obser ver, editor Caldwell says: "Wilmington has been all kindness. The attendance has been fair and the enjoyment of the editors complete." Editor Stevens has qaite a long arti cle in the Newbern Journal, headed "Wilmington's Welcome," from which we make the following extracts: Tbe entertainment of the North Caro Una Press; Association at Wilmington this week, from its social side, will al ways be a pleasant memory to those who were so graciously entettained. To the Wilmington Chamber of Com merce is the credit due that the Press meeting was held in its city, and the successful entertainment which was given the members of tbe Press. The Chamber cf Co amerce cf Wil mington is doing a great work for its city, and the manner in which it is pre the entire pub ic is having a noticeable effect upon Wilmington s development. Of the good things, in and around Wilmington, the Press of North Caro lina has this week partaken of very fully with profit and enioyment.

' My leaving Havana was entirely vol untary. I could have remained longer had I desired. I received no notice or hint that my presscce was undesired, and I left when it suited me." ' "Cuba is lost to Spain," were his first words regarding the struggle in the West Indian Island. ' That Spain can never again subdue Cuba may oe regarded as conclusive," he continued. 'There is no possibility of the Spaniards, with their present or with any other force, crushing the revolution. The whole island is in arms against them. Tbe ranks of the insurgents are daily re cruited by the best blood in the island. The leading social cubs in Santiago de Cuba and in Havana have been recently broken np, and the members have gone to the fieid. "A large number of students of the University of Havana have left their cissies and joined the rebels. This shows the earnestness with which the Cubans regard this struggle.

I do not understand, if this is so.why Gomez allowed his intentions to be dis closed, but certain it is that Gomez is moving from Puerto Principe eastward toward Maceo's troops, and this looks like a projected combination of two forces, Wnat the proposed plan of ac tion is I could not definitely learn, but the feeling is strong among Cuban sym pathisers in Havana that Gomez will at tempt a decided move very soon. Yellow fever is doing desti uctive work along tbe Spanish lines in thetrocha. It is certain to become epidemic, though the doctots are fighting it. The Span ish losses through this scourge will be ftightful. In Havana the disease has as yet made litt'e headway, although a few cases have developed in tbe slum?. "Tne war is not likely, in ray opinion. to. end soon unless the United States interferes. Tbe Cubans will not aban don tbe fight until the Spaniards are driven from CuDa, and, if necessary, the island will be practically destroyed and the Spaniards starved out.

James Creelman, the weil known World correspondent, writes as follo s. from Salem, II., of the young Demo cratic leader: 'The more I see of this earnest, stain less man and the more I learn of the way he set out in his childhocd to be President of tbe United states, never halting for a mem in t in his purpose, the more 1 am convinced that a purer pa triot dots not live. He seems to be at s 3- lutely wiihout self-consciousntsi. His nomination was accomplished with- our deals of intrigues, and he acts here like an unmortgaged man, free to do or say what be pleases. No politician has any special access to h;m. He leels so sure that the common people will over whelm McKinleymen that be refuses to make pledges cf any kind. Mary, he said to nis wile wnen he was nominated, "if I am elected I will be President myself, and I will be tbe people's President." It is impossible to be with Mr. Bryan out here without be ing impressed with bis independence of leaders or bosses. He proposes to be the leader himself. No man has a mort gage on Mr. Bryan. 'Mr. Bryan has decided to get up be fore daybreak to morrow and ride to St. Louis on the milk train. He has re fused to consider the question of a spe cial train. The correspondents who are accompanying him on his journey to Nebraska are alarmed at the prospect of campaigning with a man who has been known to ride across country fifty- two miles and make two three-hour speeches in one day. The trouble now is that Mr. Bryan shows a disposi tion to talk too much. 'Still no congratulations from the Dem ocratic Udders of the great Eastern States, still no word from the White House, Can it be that Mr. Cleveland has not heard cf Mr. Bryan's nomina tion?" mmm Popnllsts For Bryan. A correspondent of the Charlotte Concord, July Observer, writing from 16th, says : No. 1 township is the hottest bed ol Populism in North Carolina, but in con versation with one or the most promi nent in that party from that township he stated that "his people would all heartily endorse Bryan and Sewall, and predicted that Democracy would carry North Carolina by 50.C00 maiority in November next."
