The Craig Bill and Life Insurance Com
panies I Shell Fish Commission
Case The Smallpox.
' . Special Star Correspondence.
Raleigh, N. C, May 22.
It is beginning to look as if the Craig
bill, requiring all foreign corporations,
doing business in the State to become
domestic corporations, will destroy the
' life insurance business of the State. So
far only one old-line life company
the Fidelity Mutual has complied with
the provisions of the Craig bill. Four
fire insurance companies are chartered
under the Craig act the Imperial, Con
necticut, Northern Assurance and the
Fire Association.
Already some of the strongest com
panies ,are preparing to make a fight
azainstf ihe law, and it now seems that
tie-courts will be called on to pass upon
the law. .' ,
The shell fish.cdmmission case will
bs heard this week by Judge Bowman
at Pamlico Court. Also there are four
or five other contests over the county
aflicesin Pamlico to be tried at this
, nerm.-
The trustees of the A. and M. College
will meet here next Monday, June

Fifty-three persons twenty of them
patients were to-day released from
the pest house and the house of deten
tion for small pox suspects. . This
leaves only thirty persons in . these
two houses fifteen patients and
twenty suspects. No new cases have
developed for several days, and it is
believed that smallpox here is at an
end. ' .

Raleigh, N. C., May 24.
Ten thousand dollars worth of North
Carolina 6 per cent' bonds were sold
here this morning for $14,100, or $141
for $100. V This is the highest price li
which these securities have ever bee i
known to . sell. They were issue 1
twenty years ago and still have twent; r
years more to run. The bonds were
sold by parties in Virginia and bought
by capitalists here. ' j . . j
Another Federal convict in the peni
tentiary here has been whipped. His
name is Ben Davis, a negro. Pun
ished once, he refused to submit, but
went to the shop and got a knife and
a hoe, and, backing up in a corner,
worethat he would kill the first man
that came to him. He was finally
overpowered and punished again.
The new city directory gives Raleigh
a population of 27,972. This includes
all. the immediate suburbs, such as
Krooklyn, Oberlin, Idlewiid, Pilot
Stills and Caraleigh Mills.
Insurance men here and elsewhere
,are much stirred up by the decision of
the officers of the companies they rep
resent not to continue doing business
in the State after the Craig law be
comes effective. ;
Among those prominently suggested
for the presidency of the A. & M. Col
lege is Prof. M. C. S. Noble. Others
whose names are urged in this con
nection are President Winston, of the
Uuiversity of Texas, and J. Y. Joyner,

DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.
The National Committee to Meet To-day.,
Th; Next Presidential Campaign
Will be Considered.
By Telegrapn to the Mornmg Star.
St.; Louis, Mo , May 24. The ways,
means and methods of conducting the
next Presidential campaign will "be
considered by the Democratic con
ference at the Planters'! botel to-mor-'
row.
Ex Governor Stone, of j Missouri,
who issued the call for the meeting,
has received twenty-eight favorable
.-replies. If a quorum twenty-three
is secured, it is altogetherjikely, ac
cording ;to Committeeman Gahan, of
- Illinois, that the meeting wiU be re
solved into a formal session of the
" national committee and softie definite
action taken. i
It is generally understood that "anti
Trust" will be the rallying Cry for the
Democracy, with "anti-Imperialism"
a close second and "16 to 1" not en
tirely - discarded, but kept in third
place. ' As one of the leaders of the
party . expressed it, anti-Trust ana
'antii- Imperialism' " will be the saltand
pepper with which e' will! flavor
"16 to 1."
There have been countless rumors
floating aroUnd, to the effect that sil
ver is to b3 entirely discarded, and
that as far as Missouri is concerned
Bryan is to be shelved in favor of Wil
liam J. Stone of Missouri. This Mr.
Stone positively denied to-day, saying
that he would go into the next conven
tion to work for Bryan and that the
Missouri delegation would vote solidly
for Mr; Bryan's nomination.
If the conference should be resolved
into a formal meeting of the national
committee to morrow, it is probable
that the resignations of Messrs. Teller
and Allen, from the Ways and Means
Committee, will-be accepted. Both
- are willing to eo out, and the other
members of the national eommittee
are willing they should. It is also re
. ported that Chairman Jones, of the
National Committee, will resign, but
this is not confirmed.
The anti-trust banquet to morrow
, night promises to be a most successful
affair. Among the speakers will be
Hon, W. L Bryan, who will discuss
"monopolies," Hon. D. D. DeArmond,
"the trust and its parents," and Hon.
Champ Clark.

BOARDS OF HEALTH.
International Conference Important Sub
jects Discussed Adjourned After
Electing Officers.
By Telegrapn to the Morning star.
Richmond, Va., May 24 The Inter
national conference of State and Pro
vincial Boards of Health of North
America, which has been in session in
in this city for the past two days,
adjourned this afternoon after discus
sing all the papers which? had been
assigned to the various physicians and
electing officers for the next twelve
months. The question of a time and
place for the next meeting was left to
a committee, -
The body had a number of important
papers before it for discussion, but
probably the most important discus
sions of the day were on the subjects
of how best to transport dead bodies
and how to exterminate or cope with
smallpox.
It was shown that during last Win
ter there was an epidemic of smallpox
throughout the country-cNorth,
South, and West and the fear was
expressed that unless active and vi
gorous steps weretaken the loathsome
disease would appear in more viruie:
form next winter. '
The point which has so' frequently
been raised by those opposed to vacci
nation, that the virus is harmful to the
system, was generally controverted
and the speakers assertedthat vacci
nation was not dangerous, but an ex-
cellene preventative.
A section of the bv4aws providing
that the annual conference should be
held coincidentaUy with the session of
the American public health associa
tion i was vigorously opposed, and was
laid over for another year. The an
nual dues of each State were increased
from $5 to $10, and other changes were
made. .
Folio winar are the officers elected:
President, Dr. U. O. B. Wingate, of

GEORGIA WHITECAPS.
Militia at Griffin Ordered Out to Prevent
Further Trouble at the Kin
, caid Mills.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Griffin, Ga., May 24. The flog
ging of three colored operatives of the
Kincaid mills On Monday night b;
whitecaps has led to sensational
le-
velopments. Last night another negro
was taken from his house and severe
ly beaten and cut. These negroes are
law abiding citizens.' . Today others
at the Kincaid' mills were notified to
leave at once or they would be "dealt
with."
It now transpires that there has
been a club formed here, known as
the "Laborers'Union Band," with
the purpose of driving the negroes
out of the jcounty. The information
is good to the effect that this band was
formed in connection with others in
the State, and the rules and oaths fol
lowed are more rigid than those
enforced by Jesse James. The Griffin
nionBand has about five hundred
members, a large number of whom
are boys under age. At a recent meet
ing of this mob, it was suggested that
the boys be turned but, as they knew
no better than to sell out for money.
At this the boys threaten their fathers
and promised to reveal everything.
These young criminals by reason of
their courage remained within the
ranks. These facts . have come to
light to-day, arid when the superin
tendent, A. G'. Martin, was threatened,
a petition, signed by President W. Ji
Kincaid, Vice President S. Grantland
and Secretary and Treasurer J. M.
Brawner, of the Kincaid mills, was
sent to Governor Candler, through
Judge E. W. Hammond, asking that,
whereas a mobnaa on two nignis
previous forcibly beaten and mis
treated men not guilty of any, crime,
and said mob had threatened other
lives at the mill, that he order out the
militia to protect them.
The Governor responded promptly
and in an hour's time the Griffin Rifles
were in their armory, awaiting orders
from Judge Hammond to proceed to
the factory.
The mayor has . been reliably in
formed if the men go to the f actory
there will be trouble in the city to
night. - He has ordered all the police
force on duty throughout the night.

A Posse in Pursuit of the Negro Mur
derer Perry If Captured He Will
be Lynched. . .
By Telegraph to the Morning Star. .
Oliver, Ga., May 24.-r-It now de
velops that the tragedy which resulted
in the killing of Frank Evans and the
wounding of J. B. Proctor, who is not
expected to live, by Sam Perry, a
notorious 'negro, last night near
Cameron, was the result of the impu
dence of Perry's wife, who was vilely
abusing Mr. Proctor's children and
cursing ".white folks" in general.
Frank Evans, who heard the woman,
stepped up and offered resentment.
As he did so Perry, the woman's hus
band, rushed out of the house with a
drawn revolver and began shooting at
HJvans. ifivans feu at the hrst snot
and died without a groan. , y
At this, juncture Mr. Proctor ap
peared on the scene and was shot down
in his tracks, ' two shots entering his
body. Mr. Proctor's son was also shot
at but not hit Thomas Lee, another,
prominent citizen, rushed in and was
shot, but not serious. Perry began to
re-load his pistol, but before he could
do so Brown Evans, a brother of the
murdered man, appeared, and said, at
the top of his voice: "He. has killed
my only brother and I will kill him if
it takes me a life time." The negro
then ran, and though shot at by the
posse who gathered , escaped to the
woods. The negro women nad already
escaped during the excitement.
The woman was captured this after
noon in a swamp near Halcyonville,
and it is not improbable that she will
be lynched. She was trying to join
her husband when captured. He is
still at large but is being closely pur
sued by a large posse, and if captured
will be lynched and probably burned.
THE NAVAL MILITIA.
Work of the Georgia Reserves Oa the
Steamer Prairie.
- By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, May 24. Lieutenant
Boutherland, in charge of the naval
militia, has received a preliminary re
port on the work done by the Georgia
naval militia during the recent cruise
of the Prairie, which inaugurated the
scheme of Summer cruises along the
coast. It shows that the work of the
reserves was particularly good, in view
of the fact that they had never before
been to sea or had the use ofca govern
ment ship. That their gunnery was
good is shown by their smashing one
of the targets. The technical report of
the board of officers appointed to pass
on the work in detail is that "it was
fair," which is said to be a good show
ing for a first cruise.
The Prairie is now out with the
North Carolina naval reserves, and
on her return will take out the Vir
ginia militia, sailing June 6th.

CURRENT COMMENT.
: Dewey's trip from Manila to
New York will afford quick wit ted
teachers an opportunity of impres
sing a valuable lesson in geography
upon their pupils, j The .admiral s
arrivals and departures will, be re
ported in the daily newspapers, and
it will be easy and entertaining to
make a study of the port or locality
in which Dewey is: stopping from
day to day as the reports come.
Savannah News, Dem.
- At last the Pana strike
troubles have been amicabljLadjusted
and the miners will soon return to
work. Now if Aguinaldo ; will come -in,
drink his milk and go to bed - on
the right side and Gomes will quit
sulking and co-operate with the
Americans in Cuba, there wouldn't
be any reason why hundreds of
weary soldier boys should not be able
to' spend the Fourth of July at
home.. Chicago News, Ind.
A Chicago dispatch estimates
the loss inflicted upon Chicagabusi
ness by the tie-up of the graisJgfade
caused by the Buffalo strike of grain
handlers at a million dollars a day.
Probably this is an overestimate: but
there is no doubt that the strikers
are inflicting great injury upon all
intdreBts dependent upon the unin
terrupted movement of lake com
merce. It seems remarkable .that
where the loss is so severe there
should be such stubborn delay in the
settlement of grievances of compara
tive insignificance Philadelphia

COTTON MARKETS.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, 1 May, 24. The cotton
market opened steady with prices - un
changed to two points higher, the im
provement being due to favorable
cables, the feature of which was the
excellent showing made by spot sales.
Soon after the opening call, however,
the market took an easier turn, owing
to more favorable weather in sections
of the cotton belt which had" been in
need of moisture. The market by noon
had fallen back to yesterday's closing
prices, after which the local situation
became listless and exceptionally . un
interesting. The market was particu
larly pulseless in the afternoon when
the room contingent had the session
entirely to themselves and maintained
a policy of strict conservatism. The
market closed quiet and steady, one
to two points net lower.

THE CUBAN ARMY.
As Described by Ex-Qovernor
Member of Qeneral Ludlow's
Worse Than Cbxey's.
Evans, a
Staff.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, May 24. Ex-Governor
John Gary Evans, - of , South'
Carolina, who, as a member of Gen
eral Ludlow's staff, at one time bad
charge of the city of Havana, called
at the Whit House to-day. He -re
j .
turned from Cuba about three weeks
ago. His accounts of Cuban condi
tions are most interesting. .He is a
firm believer in annexation. He said :
"If you could have seen the army
that marched Into Havana behind
Gomez you would have acknowledged
the impossibility of decent self-government
on that island. Of all the hetro-
genous assemblages ever gathered, this
was the worst. Coxev's army was a
company of aristocratio gentlemen by
comparison. All this talk about the
patriotic form or the Cuban army is a
myth. They were"largely actuated by
a desire for plunder and for office.
They now want to rule the island, be
cause they see their Chances of looting
the treasury will not be good so long
as it remains under American control.
To turn the island oyer to the Cubans
would be a worse crime against civiliza
tion than to have allowed the Spanish
to rule it." -
