J 1 English newspapers come high, if that Pari3 editor who asserts that this Government spent $15,000,00.0 in bribing London papers to back our war with Spain, isn't drawing .too freely on his French imagina I tion, There are said to be lota of iron in Porto Rico. In one deposit near 'the town of Juncos a French engi neer estimates that there are 35, 000,j000 tons, in sight. American syndicates doubtless have their eyes on it. The Governor, of Pennsylvania ha3 vetoed the bill for a "Dewey lay" holiday, on the sensible ground that there are legal holidays enough I tn-that State already, and every one ' added means taking just that much wages from workmen.

" "A BREEZY TIME" LAST NIGHT A Rather Small Audience Seemed to Thor oughly Enjoy the Fitz and Webster Company's Performance. Fitz and Webster's MA Breezy Time" deserved a larger crowd than that which greeted them at the Opera House last night. If frequent and hearty applause is any criterion as to the deeree of enjoyment afforded its patrons by a theatrical company, the patrons of the Opera House cer tainly enjoyed "A Breezy Time." And the play would very prob ably have been . much more spicy and mirth provoking with the inspira tion peculiar to a well filled house. As it was there was a series of funny situations and excellent specialties throughout the programme. The star, Miss Frankie Campbell, as Daisy won hearty applause both for character, impersonation and numer ous specialties, as did Mr. T. E. Kreger as Beuben Merrifield and Robt. Carl ton as Jack Dauber an artist in diffi culty. The fact is, all the players did clever acting and deserved the applause they won. Local Shipping Intelligence.

Five Witnesses Examined in Bellamy Dockery Contest Case and Adjourn ment Taken Until To-day. The testimony of five witnesses was taken at the session of the court in the Bellamy-Dqckery contest case yes terday, their evidence being about the same as of those already examined. At the convening of the court yes terday morning at 11 o'clock before any witnesses were called, Mr. Jno. R. Turrentine, who was the last witness on the afternoon previous, appeared in court and asked permission to make a statement explanatory of his answer to the question of Mr. Spears at his examination Wednesday, with ref erence tojwhether or not of bis own knowledge that for the sake of peace and to avoid bloodshed - in the city of Wilmington and county of New Hanover, there was not an, agreement among leaders of the Re publican party that no county and legislative tickets opposing the Dem ocratic ticket should be put out at the last election. " v . To that question he answered Wed nesday, "I think that was the rumor; don't know of my personal knowl edge," and yesterday he explained his answer by saying that he knew this only by rumor, but as far as to prevent bloodshed was concerned, he knew or heard nothing of the agreement being made on that account. . Mr. Turrentine was- then subjected to a second cross examination from which nothing developed. Mr. George. T. Bland, the first witness, was examined by Col. T. W. Strange and the re-direct was by Junius Davis, Esq. He testified as to having been a resident of Wilmington for about fifteen year3; was a registrar in the First precinct of the First Ward ; the election was quiet and orderly. On, cross-examination ; he testified that he had been a member of the White Government Union, but did not know of any rumor of agree ment' witn Republican leaders as to having no county and legislative ticket for the sake of saving bloodshed. Knew nothing of his own knowledge of the procurement of a rapid-fire gun by white citizens of Wilmington. The same questions as to who ap pointed him an election officer, their politics and their relation to the cam paign, were propounded by Attorney Mussel white for Col. Dockery, but no facts detrimental to the; cause of the contestee were elicited. ! The last witness before the recess of the court at 2 o'clocK P. M., was Mr. Geo. W. Millis, registrar in the Fourth precinct of the Fifth ward during the Nov.. election. The election, he said, in response to questions by Col. T. W. Strange, was fairly conducted; saw no intimidation. About the same form of questions was used in the cross examination as proposed to preceding witnesses and were answered fully as satisfactorily to counsel for contestee; He was Questioned as to whether he wore a red shirt prior to or on the day of elec tion and if he did not march with a red shirt procession to Hilton Park on the occasion of a barbecue under Democratic auspices on Thursday prior to the election. I The question was objected to by counsel for contestee on ! the ground that it was immaterial what kind of shirt the witness wore at any time or place. The? objection was overruled by Notary Wallace and sustained-by Notary Fowler. Witness replied that he was en gaged at the time in painting a roof at Hilton and marched oyer with the procession to his work and that his shirt was red but he belonged to no or eranizalion commonly known as "red shirts." S The re-direct examination was by Geo. L. Peschau Esq., and .. the wit nesses testified that he knew of no in timidation or attempt to terrorize, the Republicans of the city during the campaign or on the day of election. Mr. W. A. Wright was the first wit ness upon tne re-assemnung oi me 1 ...... 1 ! 11 board at 4 o'clock yesterday after noon. The examination was by Franklin McNeill, Esq., and witness stated that he was a registrar in the Fifth precinct of the Fifth Ward; there was some intimidation of negroes who wanted to vote for Mr. Bellamy, but were deterred on account of certain threats by members 'of their . i . i t T n j; race; to tne Desi oi nis reconecuon the Congressional vote in his precinct was: Dockery, 332; Bellamy, 29. The cross-examination was by At torney Jno. F. Musselwhite, wno is assisting Mr. Spears, counsel for Dockery. When questioned about his ownership of firearms, he replied that during the time in question he had and has now one broken shot-gun and two pistols, too rusty for use nothing more. Capt. T. Jeff Smith and Mr. Henry L. Hewett testified to substantially the same as the other witnesses. Upon the conclusion of their testimony an arHniirnment was taken until 11 o'clock this morning, at which time other witnesses will be heard. At Home to Spend Easter. The A. C. L. train from the north arriving at &:ou r. m.. jrissteruaj T- " r J 1 brought home a number of Wilming ton's fair representatives, at various schools, to spend Easter. Among those who are here are Miss Lucile Murchison, from New; York; Miss TClliott and Marv Emerson, Misses Bulah Armstrong and Miss Bridgers from St. Mary's ScKool, Raleigh. Miss Mamie Clark, of Tarboro, is also here to snend Easter, the isruest of Miss Eliza Bellamy. A CHURCH BENEFIT TEA.' Given at Capt. Williams' Residence Last Night A Delightful Programme Ren dered The Participants. The cosy home of Capt. E. D. Williams, corner Sixth and Nun streets, was the I scene of a highly en joyable entertainment last night. It was given under the auspices of Class No. 47of Fifth: Street M. E. Church, 3Irs. J. W. Fleet class leader. I : The event was patronized by a large company of members and friends oi Filth street Uhurch and netted a considerable 'sum of money, which will be used in liquidating the heavy debt which has for some time so bur dened the church. It will be remem bered that the church membership has been divided into fifty classes, each of which is to raise a stated sum of money during Rev. Mr. Hall's 'pastorate, at the conclusion i of which a sufficient sum willhave accumulated to pay the entire debt. j The programme rendered last night consisted of a series of excellently ren dered recitations and vocal and instru mental music in the parlor, a series of up-to-date and enjoyable- phono graphic selections in the hall and the serving of a sumptuous supper and seasonable refreshments in the dining room. J . The entertainment will be called a Greek Tea," for in the dining room tne decorations were urecian and a bevy of charming young!: ladies were prettily attired in Grecian costumes and waited at the supper and refresh ment tables. They were ; Miss Emma Cook, Miss Kate Bell, Miss Mamie Mc Girt, Miss Erma Webster and Miss Mamie Mclntyre. Tne programme in the parlor prior to and during the serving of refresh ments, as previously stated, consisted of recitations and vocal and instrumental music. The, reciters, - every o'ne of whom acquitted themselves admirably, were as follows Miss Estley Risley,- Miss Erma Webster, Miss Sadie Booker and Miss Mildred Hunt, i Then there was an enjoyable vocal solo by Miss Mamie Batson, Miss Mamie Mc- Girt rendering piano and Miss Gilligan violin accompaniments. Miss Mildred Hunt also won much applause by the rendition of a piano solo as did Miss Mamie McGirt, who concluded the regular programme. There were also several impromptu features of the en tertainment which were greatly en joyed. - I : TELEPHONE REMOVAL. Exchange of Inter-State Company Will Shortly be Placed in New Quarters. Other Telephone Improvements. Local Manager Simmons, of the inter-btate Telephone Exchange, in conversation with a Star reporter yesterday, said that within a few days he hopes to have his exchange moved to its handsome' and 'commodious quarters on the third floor of the Bear building, on corner Front and Prin cess streets. In fact, several men have already arrived to assist in the work, and General Manager Eagan, of Dur ham, is expected to day to assist Mr, Simmons in supervising the. work of removal. It will require ome days, he said, to get everything in shape, but subscribers will experience no in convenience, and alter all the appa ratus is placed the company can en sure much better and much more sat isfactory service. Along the line of telephone im provements, Mr. Simmons says that his company has just received an in voice of over 500 miles of the best metallic wire, which will be used by the company at once in suspending a double line to the beach and other out- of-town lines, instead of the single line that is now used, thereby elimi nating the use of a ground wire at points out of the city, which, he says is not satisfactory owing to the prox imity to the ocean. With the double wires, all grounds will be made in the city exchange, The line which the Inter-State Com pany is building to the Orton planta tion and other places down the river is being pushed with all the dispatch possible. The workmen yesterday completed the line to Mr. James Sprunt's rice plantation and installed a Jphone, which is working nicely, The line to jGoldsboro is not yet completed, Tornado at Fayetteville. j A tornado struck Fayetteville last Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock. The Observer says it came from the south west: "In a moment the clouds were as black as ink, and in the distance could be heard a great roaring noise. growing louder as it advanced; then it burst m a rage or whirling sand and re volving debris. It was impossible to stand up against it, and one man, Lock McLiaurin, a colored driver, was picked up bodily and carried a hundred yards or more. He was considerably bruised. Horses were swept along with the tor rent, and vehicles turned over. ! Hun dreds of windows were broken in all parts of the city; trees torn up by the roots, and several houses blown down and a number unroofed." At Red Springs the tornado was ac companied by hail. The steeple of the Presbyterian Church at this place was blown off, and the frame of an Episco pal church, in Course of construction, was demolished. Other buildings were damaged. To City Subscribers. j Uity subscribers are : earnestly re quested to report promptly at the STAB office every failure of the carriers to deliver their papers. In all such cases steps will be taken to insure promp and regular delivery. THE CRUISER RALEIGH Will the Warship Come to WU- iriington or Go to Norfolk, Virginia? r RUSSELL SAYS SOUTflPORT. Citizens of Raleigh Telegraph to Washing- Ion That They Prefer Norfolk The j State Guard and Naval Brigade. Special Orders. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, March 30. It now seems certain, as the Stab stated yesterday, that the cruiser Raleigh will be'sent to North Caro lina waters that the people of this State iay have an opportunity to extend a royal Southern welcome to the gallant ship and her officers and men, who took such a conspicuous part in the destruction of the Spanish fleet in Ma nila bay. The reception will, of course, be a State affair, as the captured Span ish gun which will be presented to the State precludes the idea of the recep tion being local. Assistant Attorney General James E. Boyd has had several talks with Secretary Long, of the Navy Depart ment, on the subject of having the Ka leigh spend a few days at Wilmington. A letter received here from hnn by the committee having the matter in charge, suggests that if the Governor would appoint a committee to wait on Secretary Long it would clinch mat ters and make more certain Wilming ton's effort to secure the order for the Raleigh's appearance at that place. He writes : 'I think the cruiser Raleiah ought by all means go to North Carolina to present to the State the gun which she is bringing as a trophy from the Manila engagement. 1 was instru mental in having this vessel go first to JNew York. .Being the hrst of Dewey's ships to return to this- coun try after the magnificient victory of Manila harbor, it was the desire of Capt. Coghlan, the commander of the ship, and his crew, that they enter first upon their return, the principal American port JNew York. 1 am assured that the captain and his crew would be much gratified if they could be ordered from New York to some pbrt in North Carolina, where they could receive an ovation from our people such as they deserve,' and also make the presentation above referred to. - "Wilmington- has already - had a committee here in furtherance of a movement to have the ship go there. Of course it would not be very "ma terial, as a vessel would have to pass Southport coming into Wilmington. - Why donT; you see the Governor and let the Raleigh people and the Wilmington people and the State gov ernment act in concert about this matter, because if the presentation of the gun is made as expected, the Gov ernor is the logical official to receive it, and of course he ought to be con suited about it and arrangements made agreeable to mm? So far as I am concerned. I will ii CO mv Via of a-frwfo tf rriira fVta yqat1 a UOW UVOV bli.VlU UVS fl V VUv of North Carolina an opportunity to show their appreciation of the Raleigh and her gallant crew. Let me know what you do about the matter." I Special Star Telegram. Soon after the reception of Col, Boyd's letter, this morning, a commit tee having the cruiser Raleigh matter in charge, called at the Governor's office, but found that he bad just left for Washington to give the matter personal attention. Thereupon, Col. Boyd was wired: "Citizens of Raleigh prefer for their convenience, that the cruiser Raleigh be ordered to Norfolk; from State pride, to Wilmington. Gov ernor is absent. Our committee " will visit New York and take part in her reception there. Would like to know where she will be ordered to Wil mington or Norfolk!" To which Col. Boyd replied: "Shall urge that Ra leigh go direct from New York to North Carolina." It is learned here, also, though he refused to be interviewed on the sub ject, that the Governor will person ally call on Secretary Long and insist on his sending the cruiser to South- port. A number of citizens have in cheated their purpose of going to New York with the committee. The State Treasurer to-day paid to the executive committee of the new Penitentiary Board $10,000 of the $50, 000 appropriation made by the last Leg islature. The .warrant was signed by the committee and endorsed by . Capt, Day. This insures the treasurer against is, no matter how the case now in the Supreme Court is decided. . A telegram from Knoxville, Tenn., says Lucian Thompson, ot Jtcaieign, was to day killed there in a dynamite explosion. W. R. Bragg was injured, The Naval Brigade. The Granite City Guards were to day admitted into the State Guard, and the division of reserves at Mount Olive to the Naval Brigade. Officers of the Mount Olive division of Naval reserves are: M. T. Breazeale. Lieu tenant; John G. Martin, Lieutenant, J. G.: O. E. Franklin, Ensign., A general order was issued as follows: 1. The first battalion of the Naval Brigade will consist of the Wilming ton, Southport and Kinston divisions, and the second battalion will consist of the Elizabeth ' City, -ifewbern and Mount Olive divisions. 2. Elections in the foregoing batta lion will be-held for the purpose of selecting in'each battalion one com mander and one lieutenant comman der (who shall also be executive offi cer) on Wednesday, April 19th. Upon completion of elections the command ing officer of the Naval Brigade will as soon as practicable cause elections to be held in divisions in which va cancies may be caused by foregoing elections, for the purpose of filling said vacancies. Officers may vote by proxy at these elections. 3. Under act Of the General Assem bly it is announced that on the recom mendation of the commander of the Naval Brigade, the staff of the bat- talion commander i will consist of one adjutant, one assistant surgeon, one assistant paymaster, and one assistant engineer; all with the rank of lieuten ant, junior grade, who will be nomina ted throuffh regular channels to this ! office, and battalion commanders may also nominate to the commander of the Naval Brigade, for their battali ns, one boatswain's mate, first class, one master -at arms, first class, and two yeomen. -!V EUNICE GOODRICH COMING.
