Central Office, Raleigh, N. C.
The reports of correspondents - of
the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin,
issued by the North Carolina Expe
rement Station and State Weather
Service, for the week ending Satur
day, April 30, 1892, show that the
weather has been slightly better than
the preceding week. ; More sunshine
has prevailed, which has been very
beneficial, but the weather is still too
cold and damp for young crops.
Some corn is rotting in the ground
in consequence, and cotton seed does
not sprout readily. The rainfall has
been deficient, but the prevailing
winds during the week have been
from the east and southeast, bring
ing the damp air from the ocean
over the land. Very light frosts
were reported on the mornings of the
2Cth and 27th, doing but little dam
age to crops. Warmth and bright
sunshine much needed. Forests are
green except in the western part of
the State, where vegetation has made
but little progress. ; '
Not half the cotton crop has been
nlanted vet. Previous reports of
greatly reduced acreage are con
firmed, the chief substitute crops be
ing corn. In the southern part of
the central district corn is large
enough
for
! plowing, and cotton is
just coming
up. rianting corn nas
commenced
im the western part ot
the State.

The weather conditions have been
similar in all districts. The : cool
spell of the latter part of the week
may be expected to do some injury.

Atf ICE SHAFT IN MONTANA.
Always Plenty of Good Ice on Hand
:. ., - ; for All PurpMi.v''"
- 'V;'. -, ; - -:; Chicago News. ;. ' -J '
There is a remarkable ice shaft not
far from this place. It is a freak of
nature formed in an abandoned shaft
sunk by miners in - old New ork
Gulch in Meagher county. '
This eulch was very rich tor drat
diggers m early days. . It paid as
high as $400 to. a four-foot set of
timbers, which two miners could
easily put in with a day's work. Sev
eral years ago two miners . sunk a
shaft along one side ot the gulch,
about three miles above its mouth,
or 1 where the gulch empties into
Trout creek. The shaft was put down
about fifty-five feet below the sur
face of the gulch, and it was well
timbered from the bottom to the
top, with a good stout ladder to go
down on. ' vv"v '.' '
The miners struck the rim of the
gulch, and; missingthe pay streak,
thev abandoned, the shaft, as. it was
of no more use to them, .' t--
There has since formed, about
midway of the shaft, a solid mass of
ice clear around the shaft, with she
exception of a small air-hole in its
centre. It is frozen to the timbers
of the shaft. There is no water drip
ping from the sides, and none in the
bottom of the shaft. But there is a
solid body of ice at the i bottom.
What seems very strange is that the
ice in the shaft is more abundant and
forms taster in the warmest summer
weather than it - does inS the winter
months. ' v
The mass of ice in the centre of
the shaft, or about half way down
from the surface, is about six feet
thick, with an air-hole through the
centre that will admit the passage of
a: man s body. By putting down a
rope one can go to the bottom very
easily. -
A strong. cold current of air con
tinually comes up from below. It is
so cold in the shaft that a person can
stay in it but a short time, and even
then he must be dressed in his winter
flannels to keep from freezing. -The
ice in the shaft melts away a great
deal m the coldest winter weather.
while in the summer months it keeps
forming and does not melt at all.
in the summer the ice freezes on
the rounds of the ladder clear to the
top of the shaft. Observers have
seen the sun shine on the ice on the
top rounds of the ladder three or
four hours in the middle of the warm
est summer days without melting
anv of it. In the winter the ice will
all melt off the top rounds.
Though the shaft was of-no use to
the miners who put it down, it is of
great use to the families around the
town of York in the warm summer
months. For there is where they get
their supply of Ice. Many gallons of
ice cream are made in the town dai
ly in the warm weather by the aid of
ice taken from the shaft. .-
For several years past there has
not been a time when there was not
enough ice in the shaft to supply a
town twice the size of York. Any
resident of York can verify the state
ment in regard to this singular ice
shaft. .
BRET HARTFS RETREAT.

Retires to the Roekles.
Luke Sharp in the Idler.
At a turn in the path I saw a man,
apparently with one eye, gazing at me
along the gleaming barrel of a rifle.
It may seem weakness on my part,
but I instantly complied with his re
quest.
"Are ye heeled? was the next
question. . :,
Not quite understanding the in
quiry, l replied that l had tooted it
up the mountain, if that was what he
meant.
After a little discussion, during
which, fortunately for me, the rifle
did not go off, I told him that I had
merely come to .see Mr. Bret Harte,
and talk with him about his work.
-"Put" it thar, stranger," he said,
holding out his hand. "1 m your
man.
l ne ceieorated writer .. wore a
slouch bat similar to the one my
guide had on, from which fact I take
it that such headgear is fashionable
in that part of the world. His shirt
was red, and open at the throat. His
trousers were partly shoved into the
top of big cowhide boots. From a
leathern belt around his waist de
pended a revolver or two, a sheathed
knife, and other ornaments of a like
nature.
With his rifle on his elbow he led
the way to bis hospitable cabin,
which, it is no exaggeration to say,
was the finest on the whole thorough
fare. It stood on a ledge somewhat
similar to Table Rock at Niagara,
but overlooking a precipice compared
with the Niagara gorge is but a
step.
The one room of the cabin was of
that severe simplicity of - decoration
which we would expect in the home
pf such a man. The mural decora
tions consisted of the unhewn exte
riors of logs, the sombre tone of
which, was relieved by longitudinal
plasterings of clay whose subdued
grayish hue harmonized with the
smoke-colored rafters. - Only one
painting hung on the walls, but that
was a gem. It was entitled "The
Two Men of Sandy Bar,";and repre
sented them as leaning against the
bar, each with a glass in one hand,
while the other grasped the stock of
a revolver. t '
Here it is that Bret Harte "rests"
from civilization. Talk? J We talked
for an hour. '
GLASS FOR BUILDING;

For a long time architects have
been accustomed to build . transpa
rent glass brick into walls to afford
light in places where a window would
mar architectural effects, i But now
it is proposed to cast glass, not nec
essanly transparent, into large blocks
for building purposes This mate
rial is practically indestructible, per
fectly non-absorbent and, therefore,
damp proof in a manner which few
bricks are; and in this way coarse
glass of this kind . could be made as
cheaply as concrete,' stone or baked
clay. A plan has also been put into
practice by which broken glass of
various colors is mixed up, placed in
molds lined with silica, talc or some
other resisting, - material, and fired.
The result is a firmly coherent mass,
which can be dressed and cut into
blocks, which are, of course, irregu

Washington. D. C, May 3.
Alter the usual routine morning busi
ness was disposed ot. Mr. Morgan
called up the President s . message on
the subject of the international con
ference as to silver coinage.
Mr. Dolph tned to get action hrst on
the report on the Chinese Exclusion
bill, but Mr. Morgan refused to give
precedence to that subject, remarking
that there was "not so much pressure
about it that the Senator from South
Dakota, who desired to address the
Senate, might not have the courtesy of
a hearing.
Mr. Kyle then proceeded to address
the Senate in favor of the free coinage'
of silver. "
At the close of Mr. Kyle's speech.
the message was again laid on the table.
Mr. Morgan giving notice that he de
sired to speak upon it.
The conference report on the Chinese
Exclusion bill was then laid before the
Senate, As soon . as- it "was read Mr,
Sherman stated that although a member
of the Conference Committee, pe had
not been ; able to sign the report. He
was very willing to provide any necessary
legislation for the restriction of Chinese
labor, and thought that the senate bin
had done so very broadly.
Mr. Sherman found great objection to
the registry and certificate provisions of
the bill as amended by the conference
committee. That be thought was in
violation of the treaty of 1880 with Chi
na. Mr. Dawes held similar opinions.
Messrs. Dolph and Morgan, members
of the conference committee, defended
the registration provision,
Mr. Cap declared .himself hi opposi
tion noti only to the conference
report, but to A the principle
on which the whole anti-Chinese legis
lation was founded. He believed that
the pending measure would involve a
loss of hundreds of millions of dollars to
the - already ruined cotton industry of
the South. . After half a' dozen other
Senators had spoken, both for and
against the conference report, a vote
was taken and the conference" was
agreed to yeas 30. nays 15. ; .i

But little routine business was done
this morning, and shortly after the read
in? of the Journal the House went into
committee of the . whole (Mr. Oates, of
Alabama, in the Chair) on the Diplo
matic and Consular Appropriation bill.
The consideration of the consular por
tion of the bill having been completed
without any material change having been
made (notwithstanding Mr. Hill's earnest
efforts to increase the salaries of various
Consuls above the amounts appropriated
by the bill) the committee reverted to
the amendment offered a lew days ago
by i Mr. Chipman, - of V Michigan, (and
temporarily passed over) providing that
no part of the emergency funds shall
be paid to any foreign government in
settlement of any claim against the
United States. The amendment .was
adopted. - ' "
Mr. Blount, in charge of ' the bill,
moved to strike out the appropriation of
$65,000 to continue the preliminary sur
vey for an, Inter-Continental Railway.
"It may be advanced as an argument in
avor of. the appropriation, he said,
that the United btates had already ap
propriated 1180.000 (to carry out this
work; but this was the first -opportunity
presented to oppose the scheme which
-would connect this Government with a
railroad in South America,- and which
might : implicate us in a war of con
quest. . He believed that if the propo
sition were enacted into a law, the Uni
ted States would be pledged to the con
struction of the railroad; and it required.
to turnish a subsidy to do so. :. r
After further debate, the motion was
agreed to 113 to 71. Mr. Blount thns-
triumphing over the otherwise united
vote of his committee. ;
Mr. Blount then moved to strike out
the appropriation of $25,000 for colIecH
tion and distribution of commercial in
formation as recommended by the Inter
national American Conference.. : , Agreed
to 7 to 68. 77 v- .
The committee rose and reported thei
bill; as amended to the House. Mr.

It was agreed to years 145, nays 84.
He demanded also a separate vote on

Business was dragging on in a listless
way ; there were but few Senators paying
any attention, to it and the beat was
very oppressive, when Mr.; Cameron
moved to adjourn. The motion was
voted down and he thenxalled atten
tion to the absence of a quorum. On
roll-call, however, 47 senators re
sponded two more than a quorum and
business went on in some sort of way
for half an hour longer. : Then Mr.
Cameron again resorted to the same
tactics.but without success. His colleague
came to the rescue and moved that the

lieve - that in! the patriotism and wis
dom of the whole people, exists the best
guarantee of good government; that pub
lic offices should be held as a trust for
the puoiic welfare, and not for the pri
vate benefit of the incumbent or for the
political party; to which, be belongs,
that unnecessary taxation is Unjust tax
ation, and therefore we - reaffirm
the . oft-asserted doctrine that there
should be no tariff : taxation except
for - revenue, and we denounce the in
famous legislation nf the last Renuhli.
can Congress! increasing that burden of
taxation on the peopleat large.to enhance
bounties to a favored few. We are op
posed to sumptuary laws as an unneces
sary and unjust interference with indi
vidual liberty: we maintain that the
true interests of the people demand
sound, honest and stable money, com
posed of or based on and redeemable in
gold and silver coin of equal intrinsic
value. - We, therefore, oppose the project
of unlimited coinage of silver dollars of
less commercial value than gold dollars,
as undemocratic,' dishonest and special
ly hurtful to farmers and labor
ing classes,! the first and roost
defenceless victims ot unstable money
and fluctuating currency. We denounce
Kepumican legislation on tnis suoiect,
more particularly the Sherman act of
1890, as acowerdly make-shift and an
inexcusable waste of national resources
in the purchase and storage of tons of
bullion per day. and as a menace to the
maintenance of a sound and stable cur
rency,' and we demand repeal of that
act. We heartily commend the action
of those Democratic Representatives in
Congress for j this State, who have op
posed all measures for silver coinage on
a false basis. - '
We . condemn the reckless extrava
gance of the Kepublican national ad
ministration, which - has - needlessly
squandered hot only the revenue far in
excess of expenses of economical gov
ernment, but also the magnificent sur
plus accumulated by economy and wise
business methods of the preceding
Democratic administration. .
We are opposed to State interference
with parental right and rights of con
science in education of children, as an
infringement j of fundamental Demo
cratic doctrine; that the largest indi
vidual liberty consistent with the . rights
of others insures the highest 'types of
American citizens and best government.
We cordially commend the course of
the present Democratic State Govern
ment with its splendid record of honest
performance jof party pledges; in re
moval from j the statute book of the
flagrant assault upon the rights of com
merce, individual liberty and parental
authority; in the application of interest
ot moneys ot the state in public use and
successful prosecution of suits to recover
to the people: earnings of their money.
misappropriated' by proceeding istate
treasurers, and large savings by economy
and wise business methods.
We heartily direct the delegates from
Wisconsin to the Democratic National
Convention to beheld in Chicago, Tune
21st next, to Vote as a unit on all sub
jects and candidates when and as a ma
jority of the delegates may direct.
We approve the record ot the last Dem
ocratic national administration. We ad
mire the President, whose ability, hon
esty and devotion to public duty en
throned that administration in the con
fidence of all good citizens. We there
fore desire our delegates at the National
Convention to use all honorable means
to nominate for President the man who
as in himseu the embodiment and
guarantee of sound Democratic princi
ples drover Cleveland.
The platform was adopted in a wmri-
wind . of applause by a rising vote.
Opposition, if any had been contem
plated, was clearly out of the question.
and no objection was raised when the
chair omitted to call the negative and
introduced the next order, selection of
delegates at large to the national con
vention. . These were Senator Vilas,
Ed. Wall, chairman of the State central
committee; Gen. E. S. Bragg and John
A. Knight, of Ashland.

tively that the People s party will

CHICAGO MARKET REVIEW7.
Tluotustlons in Prloa of aroln .nd
( y By Telegraph to the Moroiog Star..
, : Chicago, May 4. There.: was not
much life in the .wheat . market to-day;
Trade was narrow and largely profes
sional, and while there was a good deal
of bull news the market , was extremely
dull most of the day. and while holding
rather firm, did not show any decided
upward impulse July opened c higher
at 81KC, sold up to 81&c then, small
shorts having been satisfied, and Par
dndge turning seller, the markeuweak
ened to 81 kc Fr6m this price it
strengthened to and held steadily around
eifc lor a long time; During the last
hour trade was dull, the' price weaken
ing to 81 He but on stronger closing
cables there was an advance to 81c
This appreciation, however, was lost
near the close and the market closed
easy at the lowest price of the day 81K&
vxrn snowed decided strength.
Weather conditions' pointing to delay
in planting if not serious reduction in
the acreage was the strengthening fac
tor; but cables -were also better. There
is considerable short interest, and in
view of the unfavorable outlook there
was a general disposition to cover, but
offering were limited.- May was more
strongly affected than July. - It opened
with an advance of Meat 42 a and sold
to 43c and closed at 43c J uly started
taw-Ac nigner at w.mic and did
not go higher than the outside Drice at
the start, closing unchanged.
uats were quiet but rather stead v.
There Was some strength early, but later
trade became very dull and prices were
easier.,. ,:.
The close . for pork was at medium
prices and at an advance of 10c over
yesterday's last prices. Lard is oracti-
cally unchanged, and ribs are 2J$f cents
COTTON FUTURES.
Ths Naw York Puturos Market Yesterday
: By Telegraph to the Moraine Star.-:
New York, May 4. Hubbard: Price
& Co.'s. cotton review says:
ine Liverpool maricet tbis morning
was 2-643-64d better for futures. In
the New York market the opening prices
were slightly between last night's figures.
A gradual recovery however set in, and
by 11.30 a. m. an advance of from 5 to
6 points had been . established. This
was followed by a recession by 12.30 to
7.41c. for August. The improvement
seems to have been the result of the
covering of short interest, and the re
action which followed is attributable to
realizing sales of part of the weaker and
more timid long interests. During the
afternoon an easier feeling continued to
prevail, resulting in the. loss of nearly
tne wnoie ot tne earlier improvement.
First prices were barely steady, about
one point below last evening s figures.
A St, Paul, Mlnn dispatch says: The
elections yesterday were the hottest and
bitterest in the history of the city and
the result is something in the nature of
a landslide. Two years ago Mayor
smith was elided to his second term by
a plurality of about ; 1,400, while from
retarns received up to midnight Col.
wngnt, nis Kepublican opponent, is
elected by about 1,500 majority.
