Moses Handy, of Chicago, speculating on Cabinet building, in the columns of the New YxnExpress, Rep., says "unfortunately there is a lack of good Cabinet timber m the South." As the selection confined to the Republican party there is some truth in this, but it seems to us that Mr. McKiqley might rJe able to pick out a stick or two from the pile. How about; Ki Gudger, for ostance? Is he too recent a converl t for Mr. McKinley to have beard of pirn ?

The Guards de- ssrve well at the hands of the people of Robeson and, in fact, of the whole State. It is a fine company. The Senatorial JTigM. Governor Russell has just this chance of being elected to the United States Senate. If Prttchard cannot control enough Populist votes to "make bis callingjfand election sure," he may throw his strength to Russell; and this, rein forced! by Butler's influence, will elect Russell. The Star has the impression that this is what Butler is fighting for. Russefi's influence would be a powerful help to Bjtler in the future, and B atler would be no less useful to Rassell. If the power of money is not greatly overrated, Pritcbard ought to win; but should; he fail, it Is more than probable he would favor Russell. Then McKin ley would see that Pritchard did not go into political bankruptcy. . Faneral ot the Late Ed. W. Mocra. The remains 'of the late Edward W.

C, will issue the decree regarding the sale cf tbe Cape- Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad. ; The point at issue which is of the most general interest is whether the property shall be sold as a whole or by sections. A New York syndicate will be represented at the hearing, who de sire the latter alternative, and who will present an offer of the Southern Railway to purchase Division A, that portion of the road between the' point of inter section with the South Carolina lice and Greensboro.

There is no attempt at Tanting nor at capturing the audience by any other than pure acting of the higher or der, and Mr. Little's popularity is solely due to his sterling worth as an actor. The amount of ingenuity shown in the construction of the play and its realistic ! scenes and the mechanical skill required to carry out tbe conception are in them selves sufficient to provoke the admira tion of the theatre-goers.

Adam Wright, a youth employed in Tony Fantopula's confectionery store near Front street market, who mysteri ously disappeared shortly after Christ mas day (as told In the Star) is still among the missing; but it has transpired that Wright is colored, not a white boy as his employer supposed. On the day Wright disappeared a colored man called at Mr. Fanfbpula's store and in quired for Wright; it was then that Mr. Fantopula discovered that Wright bad been "flying under false colors,". Fan- topula wrote to the sheriff of Lenoir county, and in reply received a letter stating that Wright was a negro. Wright while in the city had been passing as white, having joined one cf the white fraternal organizations, and it is supposed that when he found put that the "game was up" "skipped" to parts unknown. . j Iaoat Hie Value. Tuesday afternoon a gentleman from Buffalo, N. Y , who had just arrived in the city on tbe S.45 A. C. L' train.handed his valise, which contained several articles of wearing apparel and a few letters and legal papers, to a colored boy at the depot and directed him to carry it to 223 South Second street,1 paying him for bis services. The boy and the valise went off together and that was the last seen ot either. , Arriving at bis destination the gentleman found that his travelling bag had not been delivered. After waiting a reasonable length of time he started oat to look for the boy. thinking that he had made a mistake and carried the valise to the wrong house, but failed to discover the where abouts of eitber boy or valise. S. A. I, Enterprise. The . enterprise of the Seaboard Ar Line management is quite commendable and it takes a variety of shapes.

It is in magazine form with a handsome colored cover, is to be published monthly, and contains not only time-tables, official circulars and other information for the travelling public, but also tales of adven ture, love and heroism, by standard authors, current topics, humorous and descriptive articles Magtttmsa' Oonrts.

RNING BUTLER-PRITCHARD. THE DEAD LOCK IN THE POPULIST CAUCUS UNBROKEN. Bolters Befuae the Proposal to Bet arc Grant Baya Bnaaell Will Not Aeoept the Nomination and Will Suppsrt y Pritahard to the End A Cauooa Committee Appointed to Con fer with Bepablicana Legislative Proceedings. Special Star Correspondence Raleigh. N. C, Jan. 13. Governor Russell did not arrive at the Executive office this morning until after eleven o'clock. -Private Secretary Al exander was on hand - early and he was kept very busy receiving .the many callers who dropped in to pay their re spects to the Governor. The Populist members of the Legis'a ture are hope'essly divided . and the prospect of bringing both factions to gether in harmony does not seem prob able. The answer of the majority com mittee submitted to the bolters was framed at Butler's dictation. It does not seem that Butler wants, the bolters to return unless they are willing to abide by the will of tbe majority. An effort is being made to get Tbos. Watson to come to the city to take a basd in the fight. Republicans are anx ious for him to come. , Secretary of State Thompson will re tain Cblef Clerk Batchelor in his office for a while. The duties of tbe cbief clerk are very difficult and it will take some time to learn tbem. Zeb. Vance Watson is unable to find a des rable psrson to accept tbe position of cleik in bis office. For once an office bas gone a begging. The position only pays $6 JO. and as long as there are any of the other plums in subt, Mr. Wat son's clerkship will want for a man. '. The first sentence of Russell's inaug ural messase, "There is a retribution in history,"- ts a familiar une. ' When the carpet-baggers were ousted twenty years ago, Gjvernor elect Vance started off his inaugural with the expression. There is a retribution in politics." Governor Russell made a clever adaptation of tbe expression, but few were aware of the significance of it. Special Star Telegrams Thompson, Newburn and Hileman have been forced to the front to-day for Senator. Senator Grant states on behalf of Governor Russell that he would not ac cept the Senatorsbip, and will support Pritcbard to the end. - Representative Maston, of Richmond, 1 is threatened with pneumonia. Jtfembers of the Populist minority caucused two hours to night and finally decided by uoanimoHS vote not to ac cept tbe proposal of the majority to re turn. No resolution was adopted. The entire time was consumed in discussinnr as to whether tbe terms of the majority I Should be accepted. Senator McCaskey, chairman of the caucus of nineteen bol ters, said to-night : "Fifteen out of nine teen will vote for Pritchard; the entire number wili support Pritchard in prefer ence to any Republican. Four of us will support a Populis: if forced. Pritchard is the logical candidate and will be elect ed Tuesday next, by a majority of twelve or more. The matter was fioally decided to-night b our refusal to re turn to the majority. If Butler had ac cepted our proposition two nights ago, it would have been a winning card, but contrary to expectation he didn't, and thereby lost his grip. It is too late now. A number of us have received letters from constituents endorsing our course.'1 The majority Popjlists caucused three hours to-night. A committee of five, consisting of Senator Clark. Dixon of Greene, Whitener, Johnson and Rey nolds, was appointed to confer with the Republican caucus and ascertain if Re publicans intended to act with the ma jority or minority factions in the elec tion of United States Senator. The motion prevailed without opposition. The same committee was delegated to frame a reply to the proposal of the Democratic caucus for fusion on Sena tor. McCaskey was chairman of that committee, but he bolted. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Dr. Dixon offered a bill in thV House to establish a State reform school. It provides for tbe discipline, trainine and education of youthful criminals, $10 000 appropriation for each race the first two years and the purchase of three to six hundred acres Of land for farming par poses. Resolation to pay expenses of the Ar rington Committee, Attorney Purnell and clerk, was unfavorably reported and the resolution tabled. Resolution was adopted raising a joint committee to consider reduction of sal aries to conform to the decline in prices of farm products. Resolution by Sutton, of New Han over, to print 10.000copies of Russell's inaugural was referred to the finance committee. Amendments were made to print 250, 500 and others. Lusk said the same number of Russtll's and Cart's messages should be printed. The House decided to adjourn Satur day until Monday at 4 p. m in order to have the hall cleaned. Twenty members are sajd to be sick. Bills were introduced by Carrie to al low Robeson to levy a special tax, hire out tbe chain-gang and abolish the Criminal Court of the county; to amend tbe Code allowing rejoinder in actions for wages; to make guardians, adminis trators and executors, who misappro priate funds, liable for embezzlement.

I BOiiD ROBBERY. -I 1 ! - A Bb.ow Window ia Alderman's Hardware Bare Br. ken and a Bumbsr or Aiticlei Takes The Supposed Thieves Pursued j aad Captured by Polioe pmseri. A , bold robbery was committed last night between 10 and 11 o'clock at the Alderman hardware store, on Front near Dock street. ! The police on duty in that neighbor hood. Officers Huggins, Gore aud Holmes, noticed two white men larking at the corner of Dock and Front streets. One of the men seemed to be intoxi cated and kept Walking np and down tbe street, the other one following. Of ficer Gore went up to the men and told them that they would j have to go. on. One of them replied that they wanted to get; a night's lodging, that they had the money to pay for it. Officer Gore then told tbem that he would get tbem a lodging place, and accompanied bv officers Huggins and HolmeSr-went with them to a boarding house on the corner of Front and Dock streets. While Officer Gore was on the piazza of the boarding bouse some one came up and informed Officer Hog gins that the glass window of Mr. Alderman's store had been broken. Upon hearing this the men immediately ran down" Front street, pursued by the officers. They ran through the market house alley and got away. The officers at once commenced a search for them, and about 11.15 o'clock Officer Huggins arres'.ed one of the men, who gave bis name as Rudolph Rose. At 1 o'clock this morning Officers Huggins, Holmes and Gore received information that the o her man was at tbe Bonitz Hotel. The officers went to the hotel and arrested tbe man. He was registered as -Tames Wilson, Staunton, Va. Sergeant Gore notified Mr. Aldcjman that his store had been robbed. Mr. Alderman came down and informed a Star representative this morning about 1 30 o'clock that about six or seven pis tols bad been taken.' Tbe window looks as if it was broken with a sling-shot, but strange to say the piece broken out. which is about three feet long and one foot wide, fell on the inside of the win dow on top of a lot' of boxes and there fore didn't make any noise. The men arrested are short, thick set and look like sailors. None of the goods wss found, but it is supposed that they hid tbem in their flight from the police. INTERVENTION. NEW YORK JOURNAL CLAIMS SPAIN WILL ACCEPT INTERVENTION. Corresponded Asaerta Itiat Canovaa Will Accept Olney's Offar But Will Ca bana Consider An j thing Short of - Absolute Independence t NewYork, Jan. 11. The Journars correspondent at Madrid telegraphs: Spain has at last concluded that all her efforts to suppress, or even to make any impression upon the Cuban insur rection are futile and uselessN Appreciating this Let, which has been patent to all other nations for nearly six months, Prime Minister Canovas del Castillo has definitely accepted Secre tary of State Olney's proffer of Ameri can intervention as well as the teims which bis Excellercy. President Cleve land, and Mr. Oiaey prescribe as the price for their interference and the use of their prerogatives in attempting to bring about a state of peace in tbe island of Cuba. Following tbe refusal of the American Secretary of State to accept, so far as America was concerned, the plan of the Spanish Prime Minister for a restoration oi Spanish rule in Cuba. Mr. Olney, through the usual official channels, sub mitted in full to S;nor Canovas tbe terms for a peace with Cuba upon which the administration of President Cleve land was prepared to intervene and use its efforts to 'bring about a settlement between Spain and its colony. COMPLETE AUTONOMY. The conditions, I am able to state upon the highest .authority, mean per fect and complete autonomy for Cuba. I am unable to transmit now an authentic copy of the correspondence through Secretary Carlisle and the Spanish minister, but of tbis fact I am certain. ' I can state, with absolute knowledge of tbe facts, however, that they provide for home rale; to disburse all public moneys. Spain is to be debarred from all share in tbe revenues of tbe island and all interference in elections held on tbe island. In fact, tbe scheme went to the ex treme point of empowering Cuba to levy a tariff in her own favor against exports from Spain sent to tbe island. Tbe Cuban at:itude toward Spain was to be entirely one of independence except on the one matterthat Cuba was to remain in name a Spanish province. REMUNERATION FOR SPAIN. The Cleyeland administration prom ised, however, that if these terms were agreed to by Spain, and she would put Cuba on as strong a footing toward Spain as Canada bas toward England, it would attempt to bring about a money remuneration to Spain for this practical loss of the island. If ia negotiating a peace Secretary Olney could induce tbe Cubans to pay Spain a sum something in tbe neighborhood of a hundred millions, it would be done. This might be brought about by a Cuban bond issue, and the United States would, in a fashion, stand sponsor for the bonds. But nothing definite was proposed in this direction. It was simply indicated that, in tbe event of Spain's acceptance, the best that could be accomplished in this direction would be done, MINISTER DE LOME ACCEPTS. The Spanish Government has notified Minister Dupuy de Lome that it would accept Mr. Olaey's proposition. The Minister, was instructed to so inform the American Secretary of State, and he bas cabled the authorities here tlat he bas done so. He does not make clear, nor does it appear from anything which has come to this capital from Secretary Olney, just how the Cleve land Administration intends to lorce these terms on the insurgents. General Gomes himself has said that nothing bat absolute separation of Cuba from Spain would be agreed to by him. BURDEN ON UNCLE SAM. ' With this unyielding attitude on the part of tbe General in-Chief of the In surgents it if difficult, from here, at least, to see bow President Cleveland will en force these terms on Cuba. Tbe Spanish Government, however, leaves that en tirely to him. It is the American propo sition, Premier Canovas argues; Spain on ber part agrees to it, and Spain now leans back and expects America to carry It out. i WHOLE NO. 9.087 THE MORNING STAR.
