Gentlemen: The North Carolina
Tobacco Fair Association haviug been
notified that your board had resolved
to appropriate to the purposes of said
association the sum of five hundred
dollars, proiUdd the association would
deliver ta your board specimens of to
bacco of such qutlitr and ia such
quantities as your board should di
rect, for exhibition at J.ostorvlhis fall.
At , a meeting of the stockholders of
said Tobacco Association in Durham
on the 14th of April, ISSoJi was unan
imously reeoltevl that the appropriation
be rejected, and that iu justice to the
frieud and ttockholders ot the associa
tion a committee be appoiateJ to pre
sent to your board the reasons which
prompted such unanimous action- The
undersigned were appointed such com
mittee. ,
We proceed iberefore to set forth, asl
brieny as We can, why the Tobacco As
ociatiOn promptly, naheaiUUagly and
without a dissenting voice decltae to
receive the sum you have oSWcd.
1. Tb epeclme of tobecco whkh

board stated to a member of tbtapont
inklee that nrobablv one huodted art"!
twenty-live samples would be requirej.ri
At auy rae, your board would need t(J
lees, than vbue hundred samples of at
least tcu iounds each, of the finest to,
bacco on exhibition, as Jen han thai
could not properly and satisfactorily
represent the tobacco interest of the
state. Tne obacco exhibited by a
Durham dealer at the exposition in
Cincinnati last September was sold
thtre for $125 per hundred pounds.
These samples which you would select
would be worth at least $ 100 per "bop
d red Kiuuds- That wouVthen make
the value of the oue hundred samplea
of ten pounds each, $1,000, To obtain
that tobacco would cost this associa
tion $1,000, or to put it in the mildest
terms mujU cost this association $1,000..
Even if the value and cost of this to
bacco was only $50 per hundred pounds,
we would then give full value received,
$000 for $500. .V:.
2. The friends and stockholders jf
the association, and the citizens . of
Durham cannot afford .to receive the
sum you propose to invest with us. The
association canuot afford for such a sum.
even without conditions, to allow it to be
said that the state aid was.extended to
it." - .V ; . . jv
2. It is trifling with us, with our peo
ple aud with our Industries, which hare
already done more to call lavorahle at
tentiou to North Carolina, and more to
advance tho material and permanent
prosperiiy of the state than any other
industry iu it, to offer $500 to assist in
the institution of this fair, which is to
be-bf lasting benefit to the -. whole stale,
while thousands of dollars are spent
yearly ; in ' theoretical experiments.
And then to couple the offer with such
unreasonable conditions! Just such
penny-wise and pound-foolish policy
has kept North Carolina in the back
ground for the last hundred years. : y
4- The citizens of Durham, of whom
are the bulk of the stockholders of the
association, are among the foremost in
the slate in patriotism, and in their
willingness to spend their own money
to adyance old North Carolina; they
pay, large taxes to the state; they hate
built a great and flourishing manufac
turing city where fifteen years ago was
an old broom sage field; and they have,
by the fame of their city, induced hun-
urecis oi imiuigraais.io turn ineir si.ips
,to our good; old state, and now when
they iisk you to donate a sum sufficient
to materially aid them in their great
enterprise, which is to give North
C.vrolina'.n richest product a distiuCt
status in tho markets of the world, your
board proposes to buy of them $1,000
worth ot tobacco lor $000.
0. The finest tobacco in the world is
grown ano raised Mu North Carolina,
yet upon thaTharketsot the world, even
iu tbe United States it is known aud
classed as Virginia Tobacco,", tad onr
state gels no credit for its' production.
iJcai"tsi- it is so classed, dealers and
munulaclurers in the northern states
and foreign markets, desirkig oar class
ot tobacco, heud their orders to Yir ,
ginia markets, regarding it as the pro
duel of Virgiuia rom ita name, while
in fact ilia all raised iu North 'Carolina.
These' orders should be placed in Ashe
vilUv Hickory, Winston, Greensboro,
ieidsville, Milion, Uitord, tlendersoa,
Durham and tlie other tobacco markets
in this . state, and thus build up and
strengthen those cities aud towns and
their market, and result in a greater
dcuiaiid for ihe farmer's product by
reason of the concentration at those
points of many orders, at thesame time
enabling tin- uianufaeturers to buy the
gooils ai lirsi bands. The incidental
be m-lit to the state treesury resulting
from tiii.x, through increased valne of
taxable property would shortly return
the 3,000 originally asked for by the
association, and reduce ihe rale nf ia.ro
lion throughout the slate.
For theso reasons and others, this
association, deeply sensible of the great
benehis which the state of North Caro
lina would reap from the accomplish
ment cf its ai ins, rras encouraged to ex
pect that your board would render sub
stantial aid, but '
liopectfully submitted, 7

Sir William Harcourt, the mover of
the bill, is reported to have said yester
day, that the Explosives bill would do
more So diaaim the , Irish ia America
than all else that had ever been done in
that direction by the Brituh govern
ment :-v-"
' Parnell does rit deny that up
to the 9th, ofApril he i.had strong hopes
pirWog-afo'toattend- the Philadel
phia convention noi' that at that date
he had- completed many preparations
for as extended abeencfrfj-wBi London.
He declines to state whether he bad en
gaged with any committees in America
lego td Fhiladelphia, . but he frankly
ttyi that Jm yery much regrets that
cireuatstances have arisen compelling
him to decline the strong invitations
extended to. him by nearly all the.
Irish socieuea m America.
f Sir William Harcourt, now that Eng
lishmen begin to look more closely
into the matter and to accept the more
recent explanations for the urgency of
the Explosives bill, seems to be over
shadowing all other British politicians
In British favor. Sir William yester-
day; in an Interview, did not hesitate to
declare - that it was the opinion of
many well informed persons that Mr.
Parnell was proving to be too much
for Mr. Gladstone; and that it was his
own opinion that, while Mr. Parnell
dexterously xept the Premier's atten
tion bent on Irish remedial legislation,
the true policy for Englaudj was .o se
cure some kind of legislation that would
cut off the Irish agitators in England
and Ireland from the great strength
they possessed, in their close relation
ships and alliances with the Irish in
the United States. Speaking npon
this subject the Homo Secretary is re
ported to have used the following lan
guage:; . .., ,: .. -;t :
' "It is not a matter of great ditiiculiy
with the British Government to cope
with treasonable Irishmen who live in
either Ireland or England. That task
is comparatively eay, because in these
cases the traitors are British subject
and the British government is well or
ganized to reach ' British subject
wherever he may be, for the purpose of
either punishing him for his crimes or
protecting him in his liberties. Hut
lor many year past ihe British gov
ernment, has been uuder ollialious by
a treaty to recognize the renunciation
of the allegiance of every British sub
ject who chose to go to the Uuitcd
States, and become a viiilizja of that
country, even Lhoueh bin wdopiion of
citizenship be solely, lor treasonable
purposes. Great Britaiu in 1S71 con
cluded with . the United States tho
treaty recognizing the renunciation of
allegiance by British subjects who chose
to become ' American citizens." . Beforo
that time the British subject wis al
ways a British subject, and couid be
brought back and punished for trea
sonable words or actions, Wherever ut-1
tered or committed. Since 'hat time
Irish treason hs developtl into a sys
tem with refuge and means of attack,
but always dependent on the inspira
tion furnished from home. So long as
Irish movements for independence con
tinue to be treason to the British gov
em meat attempts at remedial lexisla'
Uou for Ireland mast continue to be
waste of time, onless there be a perfect
sundering of the relationships t-anting
between the men who , think out trea
son here and those who act out that
treason behind the refuge f of foreign
citizenship. No Irish traitor in Ireland
or England, no matter how powerful
for evil by rwason of his station, hia
means or his ability, need ever d i an
overt act or place-binWlf within the
law cognizance so long as be can
safely remain in cemmunicafion with
traitors abroad and move them. The
Explosives act will put an end to this
communication and will go further to
ward restoring and eecuriag peace than
a thousand volumes of remedial legis
lation ' I repeat the seatiment I ex
pressed ia the Uouee, that England has
to deal with men who, like pirates, are
the enemies of the human race, od
who, ia my opinion, ought to be treat
ed ! like men who hate ao nationality.
Aad aosae of these aaea are men in the
higher walks of life, banded together
like assassins, organizing aocietica far

On Sunday,' April 8, Mr Parnell was
about to go to America to attend a
Fenian. Convention. Ou Monday,
April 0, the Explosives bill was passed,
and on Tuesday, April 10, th bill was
approved by the Queen and became a
law.; On Wednesday, April 11, Mr.
Parnell announced that he could not
go to jlhe Philadelphia Convention, and
on the same day Sir William Harcourt
is reported to have given it as his opin
ion that Mr. Parnell. dared not go to
Philadelphia' The reason given for
Mr. Parnell's change of mind and for
Sir William Harcourt's expression con
cerning it is found in the nature of the
Explosives bill. , The second section
makes it a felony,: punishable by,, life
imprisonment, for any person to en
law fully and maliciously cause by anr
explosive substance an explosion of a
nature likely to cause serious injury to
property, 'whether injury occurs or not.
Section 3 makes the conspiring in any
way in Her Majesty's dominions, or by
a subject outside of theas, , to produce
such explosives a felony, punishable by
twenty years' penal servitude. Sec
tion 5 reads: -"Any persons who by
the Supply of or solicitation for money,
the providing of premises, the supply
of materials, or in any manner what
soever procures, counsels, aids or abets,
orb accessory to the commission of
any crime under this act, shall be guilty
of felony and shall be liable to be tried
and punished for that crime as if he
had been guilty as principal."
tSection 5 is the section1 which, it is
argued, would have made Mr. Parnell's
attendance at the Philadelphia Con
vention a felony punishable under the
Explosives bil1, provided the Conven
tion should have adopted ior approved
of any policy which the British gov
ernment should choose to construe as
leading to any violation of the act.
Englishmen are beginning to believe
that this new and scute move on the
part of the government will; bring about
the complete disintegration of tlie
Land League; National League and
kindred organizations by f making 1 it
nearly impossible for - American mem
bers to even communicate with those at
home as British subjects without sub
jecting the latter to arrest, confinement
and imprisonment under some section
of the bill. i
Mr. Jay Gould Playing for a
i . Spell. J-
-Mr. Jay Gould has; declared to his
near friends his intention to retire from
hia active businesi life on the comple
tion of his steam yacht, the Atalanta,
built for his projected tour around the
World His son, Mr. George: J. Gould,
a young man of 23, is to take his place
as a speculator, aud Mr. Gould himself
will lead a private life Mr. Gould's
fortune is carefully estimated ip' round
numbers at 100,000,(W, of wlwch $20,
000,000 is in stock of the Western Union
lelegrhph Company: aud $20,000,000
in the slock" of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad tympany. In real es
has never put-- much money, cOnsid.-
cring the sizo.Lf his fortune.; ills in

cether aiiiounls to about $5,000,000.
The reniainder of his wealth!, is in se
curitus' maiuly in tho , shajto of the
bonds of the d liferent railroad compa
nies. But one large de.'.l in specula
live parlance remains to be consu mated
previous to hi retirement, and that is,
from the account given, the proposed
aliiaiicii between bis Southwestern syS
lein cif railroads and the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia system and
other tributary roads. Except in his
HprciaUlies, thoto iu his confidence say,
he lias not dealt actively intstocks for

in tf- make his might tell in' the mar
ket was when he and Mr. William H
Vanderbilt engaged in the, somewhat
famous "pegging" operation to prevent
a general and disastrous break iu the
whole list. The "boys," as Cornelias
aud William K. Vaiidfrbilt are called,
have taken their father's place in the

manager, and who is head of the firm in
which he is a special partner, said that
Mr. Gould's affairs were in such a
shape that they could be closed up in
24 "iouis. Mr. Gould waa a thotoughly
domesticated man. Nothing afforded
him so much pleasure aa to be with his
family. His children, six in namber,
of which his son George was the oldest
were growiogiup, and the attention he
would devote to thcavwoold occupy hia
mind.' Mr. Connor paid a high tribe' ta
to the son whom Mr. Uoold has choaea
to lucceed him. He said he frequently
took charge of the workings of the
atock. He eelected hb owe brokers

At half jpast eleven this, morniBg.ihe
edge of the cyclone struck here, and for
about two minutes the-wind was terri
ble. It blew from the southwest, and
with it came a rain that was drenching.
KEMABXABLE ESCAPE OF A FAMILY.
It blew down a house that was unin
habited on Arendell street, and which
fell; on a small one story building that
was occupied by the family of Oswald
Davis, who was; away fishing.' Hie wife
and ' two grOwn daughters, ; son and
gradaaghter were caagni -nnder the
debria. The mother, eon and young
eat daughter got oat without assistance
unhurt, bat terribly frightened. The
mother's appeals for help for . her
daughter and grand-child were heart
rending. The train was just starting,
but Captain Page stopped it, and with
all his hands started for the rescue, but
before they reached the ruins Captain
Riley Lewis had succeedea in rescuing
both daughter and child. Both build
ings were entirely crushed, but tbe
Joung lady waa sited by the plate that
eld the roof catching on an old table.
Aait was, she waa injured - but not
badly. ,-- ' ;
OTHEK DAMAGE DONE, f
' The chimney and piazza of Captain
Richardson's house' was blown down
and a general destruction of fences oc
curred The tipper ! porch of W. L.
Arendell's house was injured; the end
and both front doors were blown open
and the family were badly frightened.
Tbe small schooner of Watson &
Daniels waa blown, ashore. Two or
three fishing caaoos wefe upset on the
sound and all the fish that were caught
lost. No lives were lost so far as heard
from. yFrom the force of the wind
there must havo been havoc at sea,

The most pressing necessity for spring
house cleaning has been delayed fre

with a neighboring woman leaning over
it. . .-. .' ; ' i . ' .
