The I'ostoflice Museum Will be on Ex hibition Just as it Was Shown at the World’s Fair—The Original Accounts Kept by Ilenj. Franklin When lie Was Postmaster-General Before the Revolutionary War—Sons of Confed erate Veterans—Postal Notes. Special to News aid Observer. Washington, N. C., March 23 The Atlanta Exposition will truly be the g reatest, Exposition the South has ever nad. Nearly every thing of promi nence which belongs to the government will be sent there. The Post-office Museum will be sent complete and will occupy a conspicuous space of 40x55. Everything which is in the exibit brought here from Chicago will be sent there under the same mau ager, Mr. 8. I. Slack. He takes great pride in having every thing explained thoroughly. In this museum are all the stamps in the history of the world, the uuiforms of all classes of postal carriers. One of the most interesting things in it is the original accounts kept by Benjamin Franklin when he was Postmaster Gen eral. Few people know that he was ever Postmaster General; but before the Revolution he was in that position and kept an account with his own hand of all dealings with postmasters, of which there were only about 39. He resigned this position when he was sent to France. The book is in a good condition considering the time it has had to stand. To think of one man keeping the accounts of all the poet offices in the country in that day, and the fact that it takes hundreds of men to day to keep the accounts of one city post office. It shows the remark able growth of this country. The “city of Paris” has an exact mod el in the museum. It is about eight feet long, and is a perfect piece of workman ship, costing $6,000. The 60-foot mail car of to day iB represented perfectly in one sixth the size. Everything is exact, even to the bags being on the inside Everything is to be carried to Atlanta. An old mail stage coach, which, at one time, was used in Georgia and North Carolina, will also be used in the exhibit. Two pictures in the museum contrast San Francisco of 1850 and 1895. The first is where people came once in two months to get the mail, would have a horse race, cock fight, etc , and the sec ond is a picture of the hundreds of car riers who deliver three mails a day standing on the steps of the magnificent public budding. Mr. John B. Burwell and son, who have been here for several days, will return to Raleigh next week, accom panied by Mrs Burwell, who has been in ill health. Mrs. Burwell has had the best treatment which Washington and Baltimore physicians could give, and by the direction of her physicians she will return to Raleigh. She is slightly im proved. New postofEces have been established at Caralla, Currituck county, with Em ma V. Parker as postmistress, and at Longstn.als, Lincoln county, with Wil- Mam J> Crouse as postmaster. Posteflices have discontinued at Carmicbael, Cumberland couuty, Hem lock, Transylvania county, Glenn, Mitchell county, and Odessa, Pender county. All star routes to these places are abolished. I fcThe Association of the Confederate Veterans, at a meeting held last night, decided to admit the sons of veterans to associate membership. At a previous meeting the project of forming a sepa rate organization of veterans’ sons was discussed, but it was decided last night to admit them to associate membership •in the regular organization. This action is entirely local aud will have no effect upon the organization at large, except as an example to other branches of the as sociation. In other cities lodges of the Sons of Confederate Veterans have been organized on plans similar to those of the Sons of Veterans, which is composed of the sons of those who fought iu the Union armies. On Tuesday evening a “Circulating Library” entertainment was given by Miss Jennie Haywood complimentary to her guest, Mies Sophie Grimes, of Ral eigh. Mr. Jacob Seagle, of Morganton, N. C , won the gentleman’s prizi, which was a beautiful edition of Lallah Rook. Among the North Carolinians present were Miss Mamie Cowper, of Raleigh; Miss Bagley, of Raleigh; Miss Sophie Grimes, of Raleigh; Misses Hester and Sauderliu, of Raleigh; Miss Wheeler, daughter of Woodberry Weeler,the North Carolina historian; Messrs. Seagle, Hes ter, Haywood and Murdock. A party of North Caroliuiaus to day visited the Chinese legation and called upon Minister and Mrs. Yaug Ya. The legation is hansomely furnished, being unequalled by any iu the city for beau tiful painting and bric-a brae. Mr. W. W. Moore left to day for his home in Asheville. Mr. Sherwood Higgs, of Raleigh, will spend a few days here next week. Miss Bessie Henderson is now perfectly well aud will leave for North Carolina iu about a week. Arrivals. L. L. Staton, Tarboro.

London, March 23.— The Turkish Em bassies iu London and Paris give abso lutely wholesale denials of the stories that 200 Armenians are in prison and many of them dying from the rigors of confinement. The Globe’s correspondent in Constan tinople quotes a statement made by a European who was travelling in Bitlas and Moosh last fall. This gentleman avers that he was passing through Djel lieguzan on and about February 23rd, when it is related that the most inhu man atrocities were perpetuated, one in cident being the massacre of 360 Armen ians of all ages and both sexes by Turk ish troops. In refutation of this he says he never saw or heard anything of the massacre although he admits that the village was attacked on account of the hostile atti tude of it’s inhabitants towards toe government. He saw ruins here and there as a result of the fighting, but de clares that the accounts published in Great Britain were gross exaggerations and that the so-called details pure fiction. This he declares, is especially true of the stories of the brutal usage of women aud girls and the torture of villagers. In another letter Sir Ellis-Meade Bart lett denounces as monstrous lies the statements that owiDg to grave reports of outrages fiom the Russian Consuls at Erzeroum and Van. Russia has appointed an imperial commission to examine and report upon the alleged barbarities perpetrated in Turkish prisons. It is needless to denounce this story, Mr. Bartlett says, as it is too obviously an ornate composition of a factiouist, in spired by the Anglo American Associa tion. This letter, however, has not excited the public, and the members of the House of Commons who are connected with the Armenian Association have called a meeting to be held on Monday with the object of organizing an extension of the anti Turkish agitation. SPAIN’S NEW PREMIER. Seuor Castillo Succeeds in Forming a Cabinet. Madrid, March 23.—This Ministry was announced late in ihe afternoon: Cano vas del Castillo, President of the Coun cil; Navarro Reverter, Finance: Romeroy Robledo, Justice; General Ascarraza, War; Admiral Beranger, Marine; F. Cos Gayon, Interior; Duke of Tetuan, Foreign Affairs; Castellanos, Colonies; Bosch, Public Works. The names were submitted to the Q leen Kegent this morning and were ap proved by her. Senor Don Antonio Canovas del Castillo was boru in 1830. In 1851 he was named Deputy for Malaga, aud since that year has never ceased to occupy a seat in the Cortes. He held several im portant positions under the government, and in 1864 was minister of finance and the colonies. He drew up the law tor the abolition of the traffic in slaves H»s greatest title to fame is that of hav ing been the first to hoist the standard of legitimate and constitutional monarchy in the full constituent assembly in 1868 in face of a triumphant resolution. His fidelity aD<l ca pacity definitely obtained for him the supreme direction of the Alfonsist party, an<! in the proclamation of Alfonso XII as King, m December, 1874, he became paesident of the council cbief of the new cabinet. This office he held until 1879, when Marshal Martinez de Campos be came pTil!** minister, . In 1884 Senor Canovas uc CaSP.'.lC' again formed a ministry, but iu Novem ber, 1885, he was compelled to resign on tne question of the German occupancy of the Caroline Islands, and he was sue ceeded by Senor Sagasta, who held the premiership until July, 1890, when he resigned, and Senor Canovas del Castillo again became prime minister with a coalition cabinet. From then until now Senores Sagasta and Canovas del Cas tillo have alternated in holding the office of prime minister. BEAT HIM WITH RAW HIDES. Virginia II omen Severely Punish f heir Traducer. Washington, D. 0., March 33.—An Alexandria sprcial to the Washington Evening News says that this morning Mr. Harry Uines, or:e of the citizens of Alexandria, was tried before Justice Triple for assaulting J. C. Weese, a Pennsylvanian, who, it was alleged, had made some remark derogatory to Vir ginia women. He was acquitted. As Wtese, the accuser, left the court he had to pass through a double line of women all armed with raw hides who beat him so uumereifully that the aid of a physician had to be called in. An at torney who appeared for him was com pelled to go down on his knees and apologize. MILITARY OFFICERS RESIGN. The Legislature of Missouri Followed the Example Set by the Fusionisls. St Louls, March 23. —Brigadier Gen eral Milton Moore, commanding the Mis souri National Guard, has tendered his resignation to Governor Stone, with the request that it be immediately accepted. Other State officers will do likewise and the dissolution of the militia is near at hand. The Legislature has refused to make an appropriation sufficient to maintain the guard, and as it adjourns next Mon day, it is not likely that any assistance will be granted at this session. RALEIGH. N. C., SUNDAY, MARCH 24. 1895. A CONSUL CONVICTED AN AMERICAN EX-OFFH-IAL TRIED BEFORE \ FRENCH COURT M X RTI AL. SENTENCED FOR TWENTY YEARS. A Protest From the State Department Will Foiloxv—Jamaica’s New Tarifl Bill—Nicarauga and Great Britain— The Amount ot Damages Asked lor Cannot be Paid for by the Govern* ment, and the United States May Have to Interfere. Washington, D. C., March 23 — A despatch is published here to day dated Port Louis, Mauritius, stating that “Mr. John L. Waller, formerly United States Consul at Tamatawe, Island of Madagas car, has been tried before a court martial by the French military authorities and has been found guilty of having been in correspondence with the Hovas, and was sentenced to twenty years imprison ment.” The State Department officials are of the opinion that if this be true the French government has exeeedtd it’s authority and that a protest from this government will follow. The trial of a civilian before a military court is not admissable and his trial before any court for the reason stated in the despatch Is equally out of the question. Waller is a colored lawyer who was appointed from Kansas by President Harrison to be United States Consul at Tamatawe. One of the chief causes of complaint of the French authorities in Madagascar against Waller, it has been stated, consisted in his having se cured a concession of over two hundred square miles on the iu valuable rubber forests of that great island. Jamaica’!* New Tariff. The State Department to-day received a report from Consul Eckford at Kings ton, Jamaica, enclosing a copy of the message of the Governor of the Island to the Legislative Council. The Gov ernor says that “the withdrawal of the government of the United States of America from the reciprocal arrange ments with this colony, entered into in 1891, and the reimposition of the duty on sugar, leaves us free to restore to our tar ff some of the sources of revenue abandoned under that arrangement.” He also incloses a proposed tariff re vision. introduced into the Legislative Council, which in some instances the du ties upon many articles that are import ed exclusively from the United States, such as hog and beef products, lumber* petroleum, grain, dairy products, etc. The increase proposed ranges from 25 to 100 per cent. Tnere is absolute au thority for the statement, notwithstand ing guarded and technical details, that Great Britain’s demand upon Nicaragua is of such a character as to merit every grave consideration on the part of the government of the United States. Inspection of the text of Great Britain’s demand, a copy of which was brought to Washington by Minister Barrios the special agent sent to Lon don by Nicaragua, discloses the fact that the conditions imposed upon this feeble and impecunious Republic are hatsh in the extreme. Great Britaiu demands 15 000 pounds ($75,000) “smart money” to be paid down within seven weeks, that is to say before April 16th next, for the affront to the British Crown implied iu the alleged wrongful expulsion of the British pro consul, Hatch from Blue fields. Tnis is an imperative demand There is no suggestion of arbitration, or loan hob? offered for compromise or de lay. Nicaragua and Great Britain. Next, Great Britain insists that the claims of Hatch and other British sub jects for damages alleged to have been sustained shall be submitted to a mixed commission of three- one to be appointed by Nicaragua, one by Great Britain, and the third to be selected by them, but “not to be a citizen of any American Republic.” This stipulation, as originally given out by the Nicaraguan representatives, was 1 not to be a citizen of the United States ” This statement gave opportunity for a tcchiii'al denial on the part of the British representatives, who said that no such undiplomatic and insulting dis crimination had been made against the Un’ted States But that Mexico,Chile, V* n tzuela,Brazd and other Amet ican Repub lics, are included with the United Stabs in the embargo does not render the fact that the United States is deliberately shut from participation in a matter of this great importance to the integrity of the American continent any the less serious. Our interests in Nicraugua, especi ally in regard to the problem of a trans- Dthmiau canal are so great that the presentation of excessive demand-, im possible of immediate cumpliance, to be followed perhaps by the seiz ire of terri tory as a guarantee of payment, have brought the United States face to face with a complication, which taken in connection with the Venezuelan boun dary question, assume importance of the first magnitude. The immediate question that may con front the Administration relates to the extent to which Great Britain shall go in enforcing the prompt pa\ment of this money, knowing that Nicaragua can spare no such sum from its Treasury, which like those of most of the Latin American nations, barely suffices to meet current expenses. It remains to be learned whether Nicaragua can make the pecuniary apology required or give any satisfactory assurances of its future payment. Lit t e doubt is expressed that Great Britain will seize something as security in case of a default, and under the terms of the Clayton-Bui wer treaty the United States will have a right to know in advance just what Great Britain pro poses to do. No such serious international problem has been presented to a recent adminis tration as the piesent one. ENGLAND’S CABINET CRISIS. The Queen Unwilling to Accept Lord Roxcb rry’s Resignation, London, March 23.—Mr. Gladstone's return to London has been hastened by the deadlock iu the cabinet over the question of the succession to the Speak ersbip, and ihe still more serious differ ence in regard to the dissolution of Par liameut, upon which question There doe* not seem to be any feeling of unanimity It is certain that the advice of the ex- Premier will guide the Ministers in de ciding both questions, and until he has arrived and the leaders have had the benefit of consultation, nothing will be done. At the cabinet counc i, which was convened a week ago list Tuesday, it seemed very improbable that there would be a dissolution until the ministerial programme, fixed at the beginning of the session, had been carried out. The executive committee of the L ; beral party had told the election agents that there would be no general elections uutil No vember. Ti e change in the situation is due to Lord Rosebery’s increasing desire to withdraw from the premieiship, and there is a general realization now that something must be done to make a change in the state of affairs existing. The squabbles over tb9 speakership and the threatened desertions from tin ministerial rauks on the question of local veto have also bad their effect upon Lord Kosobery and other ministers are becoming disgusted over the tension caused by their working with small and uncertain majority which is liable at any unexpected moment to become a min ority. Lord Roseberry’s Health. lorl Rosebery is gaining e rength daily, but has prdmged periods of insomnia and symptoms of sericus nervous disorder. Never theless he will not withdraw from office until he sees the end of the present Par liamenfc. Throughout ten days be has not bad a single night’s sleep, and his lavorite remedy, that of drinking warm water, which he has found valuable upon previous occasions when similarly attacked has hot been efficacious. Only drugs have given him relief and those omy temporarily. His condition is such that his physicians have again urged h.m to take a sea voyage, as the only thing that would give him permanent benefit. The Queen has been informed of Lord Rosebery’s condition and desire to retire from office, and has declared herself most unwilling to accept his resignation? Her Majesty has expressed hope that his colleagues will allow the Premier time to recover from his ailments before taking action which would embarrass him, and this course may be pursued However, there is a clique of ministers, among whom Sir William Hareourt is the most prominent, who think the easiest way of a seemingly impassable road is an early dissolution. Lord Roseberrv’s Health. The choice of the L’bera’s for the suc cession to the speakership now iies be tween Right Hon. Leonard Courtney and Mr. Wm. Court Gully, and the latter will probably be the ministerial nominee. Mr. Gully who is a member of the House for Carlisle, is a grand son of the famous light- w-ight champioQ pugilist, John Golly, who after retiring from the ring became a member of Parliament for Pontefract. Mr. Gully’s father, James Manby Gully, Esq , M. IX, was a noted physician, whose reputation, however, was not enhanced by his connection with the notorious Bravo poisoning case. The present Mr. Gully is a high bred, courtly, dignified and clever gentleman aud a Queen’s counsel. He would un questionably make a good figure in the chair, but is so seldom in his seat that Sir Charles Dilke was neently moved to ask iu connection with his candidacy. “Would you make a mau a speaker who has been years a member and ten min utes iu the House ?” THE PANNILL TRIAL. Few New Facts of Interest Develop ed Yesterday. Lynchburg, Va., March 23.— The PauLill trial to day developed few new facts of interest. Cashier Talley, of the bank, was cross txunint'd further for two hours or more and Esten Shumate, one of the book keepers, was also questioned at great length. The checks aud deposit slips that have been so pr< minect in the case were gone over agam and again in the development of points raised by the prosecution or ihe defense. Several directors of tho bank testified that they had never given consent lor Pannill to overdraw or ovi r check his account. Mr. Swain, travelling auditor of the Chesapeake and O’.i •; Mr. Walk. r. General Agent of the Kvuawha Dis patch; John R MoYlnrdo, travelling freight agent of the C andO.; D. Ax tell, second vice-president of the load and others, testified to Pannill’s good reputation This testimony was introduced at this time as a matter of convenience io the witnesses. The taking of testimony for the prosecution has not yet been con cluded and the case will hardly come to an end before Tuesday evening. HIS OPPONENTS WIN THE RFICIISTAG REFUSES TO OFFER CONG K ATULA HONS TO BISMARCK. HIS EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY. The Proposition Creatis a Wild Storm in the Chamber—The Vote Was 103 to 110 and as a Result President Von Letezow and the Vice-President. Dr. ltnerkin Immediately Resigned—Tlie Victory Not so Complete as the Iron Dnke’sOld Opponents Had Expected. Berlin, March 23.—The Reichstag this afternoon by a vote of of 163 to 146 rejected the proposal of Herr von Levet zow, President of that body, that the Reichstag charge him with the duty of offering the congratulations of the Chamber to Prince Bismarck upon the occasion of tho ox-Chancellor's 80th birthday. When the result of the vote was announced President vou Levetzow immediately resigned. Immediately af terward Vice Pre.-ident Dr. Buerklin also resigned. Herr Von Levetzow’s proposal to send the Reichstag’s congratulations to Bis marck seemed to revive all the bitterness that old Chancellor so often roused among the deputies. It’s rejection was generally expected, yet the announce ment of the vote agitated the House be yond measure. Members sprang from their seats and shouted defiance and de rision at one another across the aisles. The Social Democrats and Richter Radi cals jeered while the Conservatives and National Liberals cried .“Shame,” “In gratitude” and “Enemiesof the Empire.” President von Levetzow rang for older repeatedly. When comparative quiet ha i been restored he spoive of the vote, apparently with a strong eff >rt to control his indignation. When it was intimated that he would no longer serve as the president the dis order was rouewed. Ifaif the members were again on their stet, the Conserva tives shouting “Bravo” and the Richter Radicals, South German Democrats answering with derisive cal’s, whistling, hardclapping and stamping. The appearance of Rudolf von B jn uingsen, the veteran leader of the N i tional Liberals, calmed the storm for a moment, lie is ther:ne man of the cab inet rank left in the Reichstag, and a close friend of the old Chancellor in and out of office. His face was white and bis voice trembled with anger as, with a single quick gesture, he aunounced that Dr. Buerklin, his party rt presentath’e in the vice presidency, declined to serve longer. The curtness of Bennig*en seemed to affect General Richter a* a personal in sult. Pointing to Bennigsen, he called so loudly as to be heard above the din, and increasing disorder: “J,et him go, then. The Reichstag can do without either of them.” The Grand Duke of Baden aud Herr von Lucanos, chief of the Emperor’s civil cabinet, were iu the Imperial box during this scene. The strangers’ gal lery was filled with officers and conspicu ous civilians. The visitors rose from their seats, waived their handkerchiefs to the Conservatives on the right ami shouted “Shame!” at the Social Demo crats and Radicals on the left. They cheered Herr von Levt tzow as he left the chair aud was surrounded by Conserva tives and National Liberals, eager to congra'ulate him upon his refusal to pre side louger. The House was not full as was ex pected last evening when Richter was moving heaven and earth to rally Pohs, Catholics, Socialists and Radicals to vore down all proposals to honor his old antagonist. He calculated at ti e close of his labors that he could bring together an adverse vote of 213 lie based his estimate on the promises extorted from the clericals, but many of those deputies lost their courage at the last moment and remained at home The majority of the clericals certainly supported Count von Homptsehe in his declaration agairst Bismarck, although a few stood by Dr Lieher, the eh rival leader, who urged his party to refrain from a hostile demonstration. Dr. Lieber was sagacious enough to see aud say openly that such an anti-national outbreak would degrade ill participants, except the Social-1 *. m icrats in public opinion. The Conservatives and National Li be rals are so convinced that the country will resent the action of the parlimentary majority that they are urging the minis ters to seiz* the opportunity, dissolve t he Reichstag and appeal to the elector* iu the heat of their B : »marek ardor. Thus they say the government wou d get a Reichstag with at least some other prin ciple than opposition to tie ministry aud ail tie ministry proposes. The ministers do not cure, however, to associate their own policy so closely with the Dynes:y of Bi*marck as to asseut to this ]>>o gramme. Tiie feeliDg in the Reichstag lobbies is that the Bismarck haters will find their victory a very costly one, even the oppo sition parties, excepting tho Social Democracy, showed plainly. Their jubi lation in the House gave place to some thing like diffidence after the excite ment subsided. The leaders of the ma jority looked rather anxious and, although conversing freely among them selves, sealed thoir mouths to all others. Duties mi our Food Products Repealed. Washington, March 23 —The Belgium government has informed tho Mate De partinent that tho discriminating duties against food products recently imposed, have been repealed by Royal decree.

During the breathing spell just after the rigid period of the March examina tions the senior class, numbering forty, took the lead in getting up an entertain ment in honor of the beloved president of the University. Never before has the low, long dining room of the old McDade-Watson Pickard Hotel held a more hearty and unanimons crowd than the two hundred citizens and stu dents, who sat last night to do honor by their presence, and words of respect to the head of education in North Caro lina, Dr. G.

Long may he live to continue his leader ship in the time honored institution that appreciates his ability ar.d love for North Carolina and for what is best for her sons.
