There was an exciting scene in the
House to-day s a cli uax of a discus-
' siou of the Kentucky situation when
Mr Wheeler, a Kentucky Democrat,
audMr Pugh, a Kentucky Republican,
faced each oitier iron) opposite sides of
the Wain aisle and ii dulged in a wordy
dul lr Pugh charged Mr. Wheeler
with uji-rer. Si ting certain facis He
was laboring under great excitement.
Mr. Wheeler showed admirable tenv
per, and though , quick to reeut the
fancied inul, awaited the ditclam er
of Mr, Pugh. 1 h' re was an air of sup
pressed excitement throughout the de
bate. It Was the first tine ihe subject
had been broached in the House and
intense interest was manifested. The
fenciug was sharp and brilliant.
Without preliminary Dusincss. the
House .resumed consideration of the
Hawaiian bill. Mr. McDowell, Ohio,
o-ie of the original opponents of
Hawaiiau annexation, was the first
speaker. He inveighed against the
ltbor emotions and corporation influ
encM there.
Toe passage by the Senate of the
Porto Rica a bill was announced and
the measure . was immeld-iaiely referred
to the Ways and Means Committee.
Mr. Boreing. Kentucky,, who fol
loed wiio a geueial political speech,
aroused general l merest by dwcussii g
the Kentucky situation. Holding the
light of civil zuiou before the world,
as the Unit, d States were doing, were

see the torch of liberty extinguished
at the birthplace of Abrahaur L ncoln
and the home of Henry Clay. So far
as the Goebel elecnoa law of that
State was concerned, be said, the
DeoDle of Kentucky would be triad to
exchange .places with Porto Rico or
Hawaii. Thev were not asking for Fed
eral interference, they were asking
simply for a fair election law. He
gave notice that if necessary to get rid
of the Goebel law, be would ask for
the passage of a Federal election Jaw
"I will not appeal on behalf of the col
ored race or of the Republican party,"
said be, "but for a general election law
which will enable the Federal courts
to reach nut and determine the valid
ity and constitutionality of the elec
tion laws of the several States."
Mr. Wheeler, of Kentucky, replied
in a fiery spetch. He admitted that
the situation was humiliating to every
Kentuckian, but bad hoped that it
would not be veDtilated here. He
eulogized the Goebel electiou law. He
would not contend that the dominant
party had not taken advantage of its
power iu districting the Mate. It had
done so following the tactics of the
dominant party in most of the States,
The threat of a Federal election' law.

"It will never be repealed," retorted
Mr. Wheeler. .

Many Telegrams Endorsing HU Coarse
Received by the Admiral Will
Make a Statement.
By Telegraph to tne Horning star.
Washington, April 4. Admiral
Dewey to ni ht expressed himself as
very much gratified over the manner
in which his announcement to be a
candidate for the Presidency has been
received by his friends. His manner
likewise indicated that fact, as he chat
ted with a reporter for the Associated
Press at his home this evening. Many
telegrams have come to him to day,
particularly from the South, and some
also from the far West, endorsing bis
course and stating that he will receive
the support of the signers in Ine cam
paign which be will make. The Ad
miral was in excellent humor and
talked interestingly of a number of
things in connection with bis proposed
candidacy, thou h concerning mot
questions asked him he r- q tested that
nothing be said at this time, as in due
time he would make a statement to
the public on the sunj-ct
"Why is it. Admiral Dewey, tbat
yon have decided to brome a candi-'
date f.tr the Presidency f be was asked.
"Really, on that point," he an
swered. "there is nothing to add to
what already has been printed on the
subject If the. An erica n people want
tnf to be their candidate for this high
office I shall gladly serve them.
"Mv determination to aspire to it was
influenced by many friends who have
written let ers suggesting ihat I should
be a candidate These communica
tions have come from all over the
country; some from' New York, a
large number from the South and some
from the Pacific coast It was in re
sponse t these suggestions tbat I have
taken the course an uouDced "
Admiral Dewey has sums very de
cided opinions on matters of public
moment, and while expressing them
in piivate prefers not to make any
publicannouucement of them at this
time. Platforms for parties.be believes,
are not made by candidates for the
high office of President.. In connec
tion with his determination to run
for the office the admiral dwells with
much pleasure - and gratification on
the warmth of the receptions tbat he
ha every where receivd in his vari
ous trips throughout the country, in
cluding the South particularly, and on
uuu erou personal declarations that
the pe pie .wanted him for President
Muih comment has been indulged in
to-day by the public as to which of the
great political parues the Admiral will
ally himself with and from whom be
exp els to receive the nomination for
the presidency. To questions bearing
on this, subject, he declares tbaWhe
prefers not to make any statement at
this time. ' To those who have talked
with him privately on the surj ct,
however, and who are fully acquaint
ed with his view s. it is evident that he
does not exp ct a nomination to come
from the Republican party.
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Attempt to Assassinate the Prince of
Wales Two Shots Fired at Him
by an Anarchist.
By Cable to the Moraine Star.
Beu.setjs, Belgium, April 4. A
sensational attempt to assassinate the
Prince of Wales was made at a rail
road station here to-day by Sipido, a
yiung Anarchist, who fired two
shots, but the Prince escaped un
harmed. Tne would-be assassin was
immediately arrested. The train bear
ing the Prince was just pulling out
of the Northern railway station at
3 30. when Sipido jumped upon the
footboard of the Prince's saloon car,
aimed his revolver at bis royal high
ness and hred twice. Hearing the
shot the station master rushed to the
scene and knocked down Sipido's arm
as the latter prepared to fire a third
shot, while bystanders rushed up and
threw themselves on the Prince s as
sailant In the confusion, another
man, who was innoceut, was seized,
roughly bandied and beaten.
Intense excitement prevailed for
the moment, as it was feared the
Prince had been hit, the shots bav
ing been nred almost point oiauK.
The railway carriage door was hasti
ly thrown open, and great relief was
felt when the Prince himself ap
peared at the window unhurt. Both
the Prince and Princess, however,
had a very narrow escape.
The policeman on duty took bipiao
in charge. The latter appeared proud
of bis exploit and seemed quite calm
Sipido told the authority s tbat be
lived on the Rue de u Forge, at Saint
Giles, two miles south of Brussels.
The Prince appeared quit una free
ted by the incident. HJ asked whether
the revolver was loaded, and on being
informed in tne affirmative, smiled
and begged that the culprit might not
be treated too severely.
When examined by the statio
officials Sipido declared be intended to
kill tbe Prince of Wales, tbat be did
not regret tn actio a and tbat he was
ready to do it again if given a chance
to do so.

General Roberts Said to Be Hampered by

By Cable to tne Horning Star.
London, April 5, 5 A. M. It looks
to day as though the .Boers had con
ceived the audacious plan of attempt
ing to invest Lord Roberts at Bloem-
fontein, or at least to endeavor to de
lay his northward advance by harass
ing the British lines of communication.
On his side Lord Roberts is concentrat
ing his forces and preparing to take
every advantage of the bold but risky
tactics of the enemy. He is not likely
to strike at any of his forces un il
be is certain of delivering a crushing
blow. The situation in the absence of
any official dispatch from Lo'd
Roberts, is both mistifying and in
te resting. There is little doubt that
Lord Roberts is hampered by the
necessity for re-mounts ai d trausport.
and the loss of the convoy guns and
all of Colonel Broad wood's baggage
was a serious matter. The Boers are
now trusting to what they believe to
be their superior mobility.
The special correspondents at the
front are now denouncing Lord
Roberts' policy of leniency towatd the
Free Siatersr and are calling for an
abandonment of that policy.
A special dispatch announces tbat
Mafeking was still besieged, but safe.

New York, April 4 Cotton pjces
took a high level to-day, following
stronger cables. The market opened
steady at an advance of one to seven
points and further advanced ten to
nineteen points. The upward move
ment forced local covering without
stimulating speculative trading by
outsiders. It was not a broad market.
Tne advance was accelerated by unsat
isfactory reports from tbe cotton belt
regarding the crop, and also disap
pointing receipts at ports and
interior. Cables reported that
sellers were scarce in the English mar
ket, while there was a good demand
from Manchester and the Continent;
others said tbe rise was due to manipu
lation. Local traders were disposed
to take tbe short side of tbe account,
but were intimidated by fears of ma
nisulation. Io the early afternoon
there was considerable realizing, under
which the market, ruled somewhat
easier. Liater, prices again raiueu on

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
The commissioner of railroads has
notified me that tbe usual reduction in
rates will be granted on account of the
Christian Endeavor Convention to be
held in Raleigh. April 26 29 Tickets
will be on sale April 24, 25 and 26, and
will be good to return until May 1
Tbe expense will not be great from
any point in the State and every C. E.
Society should arrange at once to send
delegates to tbe Convention. It will
be worth tbe cost of the ticket to hear
Mr. Shaw alone; but in addition to
this there will Le many other inter
esting and helpful fea ures on the pro
gramme. It is the duty of all Nor ih
Carolina Eadeavorers to make "Ra
leigh, 1900," the best Convention in
every way that we have bad in our
history. Mamie Bays.
