OSBORNE INTERVIEWED. The Governor Properly Thinks There Ought to Be Some Way to Prevent the Promulgation of An Act That Is Confessedly h Forgery—Why Should Not Ihe Secretary of State Be En joined From Publishing the Act!— Mr. Osborne Will Answer To-Day. Governor Carr has struck at the root of the matter in the following letter which he yesterday addressed to the At torney General: State of North Carolina, Executive Department, Raleigh, April 4, 1895. Hon. F. I. Osborne, Attorney General, Raltigh . N C. Sir: I wish you to investigate the question whether a proceeding cannot be instituted by yon in behalf of the State against the Secretary of Srate, as a nomi nal defendant to restrain him from fur nishing for publication the Act known as “An Act to regulate assignments and other conveyances of like nature in North Carolina” until it could be determined whether it passed the Legislature and whether its enrollment was procured by fraud and forgery. It has been suggested to me that you, as the Attorney General might institute a proceeding to go behind the ratification by alleging fraud and establishing the fact before the Court that none of the acts essential to its validity, as a law, were in fact performed, except the en rollment and ratification. In Scarborough vs. Robinson the want of ratification was declared a fatal de fect Why should not the more impor taut matter of failing to pass a bill through either House be sufficient to show its want of validity i No matter how the courts may construe the law. it should not be enforced under any conceivable construction, if it is not in fact the law. but has been forced upon the people by fraud and forgery. In order to satisfy the public of the readiness of the Executive Department to promptly lend its aid i$ relieving them from the consequences of this and other iniquitous legislation, that ought to be inquired into, I request you to give me an answer to-day. Very respectfully yours, Elias Carr, Governor. Tbe Attorney General Interviewed. Attorney General Osborne was seen but had not received such a letter at a late hour last night. The reporter ascer tained, however, from high sources that the Attorney General was aware of the import of inquiry from the Governor and could be reasonably relied upon to reply that though such action might not be advisable from the Governor a* Governor, it might yet come from him as a private citizen with hope of success. While the Attorney- General was secretive and reticent, the reporter is sufficiently reinforced by in formation to say that it is highly proba ble that the letter of the Governor will be received and answered to day on the lines laid down above. It is, there fore, probable that the injunction will be heard at the next term of the Supe rior Court, and it may reasonably te relied upon that the correspondence will be printed in full in to-mor row's News and Observer. What may follow the action of the Su perior court is for the present an un written page, the matter being left to the forecast of the reader ought to be some method of nul lifying a law that was born in fraud and forgery, and if there is, Governor Carr is determined to find and employ it in the interest of the people of the State.

New York, April 4 —Cotton fell 4 to 5 points and closed dull with sales of 70.100 bales. Liverpool declined 2 points, with spot sales of 15,000 bales at unehan/ed prices. Silver declined l-4d in London. New Orleans declined 3 points. Bombay receipts for the week were 51,000 against 57,000 for the same week last year. Mail advices from Germany state that business on the continent is better than for a long time past. Spot cotton here was easy and unchanged, with sales of 256 bales for spinning. In Manchester yarns were strong and cloths quiet. Southern spot markets were quiet and unchanged. Savannah declined 1-16 cent. Port receipts to-day were 15,342 against 20,196 this day last week and 5.113 last year; thus far this week 96,- 799. agaiDst 94,928 thus far last week. Exports from the ports to day were 4.856 to Great Britain and 10,656 to the continent. New Orleans receipts to morrow- estimated 10,000. To-day's Features. On light transactions prices showed a moderate decline. Little attention was paid to the large receipts at the ports, but many were disappointed to see Liv erpool lower and silver still decline. Prices to day showed only a moderate decline, but, after all, the undertone seems to be hopeful. A great many peo pie are believed to be w-aiting for a good reaction in order to take hold on the bull side once more. It is not for gotten by any means that Liverpool is still doing a big spot business. The weather in many parts of the South is still backward If any man imagines that cotton is a friendless orphan, his imagination is our of joint and in need of repairs. GEN. CAMPOS OFF FOR CUBA.

OSCAR WILDE'S SUIT OLD BAILEV THRONGED WITH PEOPLE SEEKING TO HEAR THE TESTIMONY. THE PLAINTIFF QUESTIONED. Cross Examination Rigid and Severe and the Denunciations of Wilde by Counsel for Delendant were Terri ble—Wtlde Admitted Acquaintance ship with a Man Charged with Quest ionable Practices—He Left the Court room when Mr. Carson Spoke. London, April 4.— The trial of the ac tion of Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensbury for libel wa< resumed to day in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, with the complainant again in the witness box, Mr. Carson cross-ex amining. Mr Wilde, in answer to a question by Mr. Carson, said he had been introduced to the man Wood by a man named Tay lor. He had frequently visited Taylor’s house to attend afternoon tea parties. Taylor, he said, had a habit of burning perfumes in the room, but candles or gas were not lighted. Upon every oc casion of his visiting Taylor's house he had met a youth named Mavori, who had since disappeared. Mr. Wilde said he was aware that Taylor had been arrested but he did not know that Taylor himself was notorious by his practice of introduc ing young men to older ones Taylor, be i dxi ted however, hadintroduced hi n to five young men. None of these young men had any trade, prossion, or emp’oy ment, as far as he knew. He had made them presents of money for the reason that they were poor. Mr. Wilde was questioned in regard to his acquaintanceship with two brothers named Parker. He replied that he knew them and had dined with them. He was not aware that one of them was a valet and the other a groom, both of them out of employment. He had given one of them money on the occasion of his taking tea with him (Wilde) in the lat ter’s private rooms on St. James street. His behavior was in no way improper. When Taylor and one of the Parkers were arrested they were in women’s clothes. They were charged with felon ious practices. Mr. Carson—“ When you read of Tay lor’s arrest, did it make any difference in your friendship to him V Mr. Wilde—“l was generally dis tressed ard wrote to him. His arrest did not affect my friendship.” At the conclusion of Mr. Wilde’s re direct examination the case for the prosecution was closed. Before leaving the witness stand Wilde explained his fondness for the society of males in their youth by saying that he disliked the old and sensible, while the company of the young, happy, careless and original had a wonti rful charm. The mere fact of their y uth was amazing. Mr. Carson’s questions to Wilde were in the main pitiless and unprintable. It was noticed that during Mr. Car son's questioning several names were written upon slips of paper and handed up to the couit. These names were not made public. Sir Edward Clark then questioned ihe witness in re direct examination. He began by reading a number of letters written by the Marquis of Queensbury to h : s son, Lord Alfred Dougins, in which the Marquis condemned his son for his con duct with Wilde. He also read a lettor written by the Marquis reviling Lord Rosebury, Mr. Gladstone and the Queen becau.-.e of the appointment of his son to the peerage of Drumlanrig. In one of the letters the Marquis declared that L id Alfred Douglas was not his son. Mr. Carson, iu opening the case for the defense, declared that all that the Maiquisof Queensbury had done and said Ue stood by, withdrawing nothing. His sole object in all the steps he had taken was to save his son from the in fluence of Wilde, who, according to his own admissions, was a friend of the peison who was known to be a procurer of boys for vicious purposes. Mr Cir on was terribly denunciatory of Wilde, who left the court room as soon as the counsel for the defendant t-egan to speak. The speech of Mr. Carson for the defense lasted until the court adjourned at 5 p m. and was not finished at that time. During the course of his remarks Mr Carson alluded in complimentry terms to the c >urse of Mr. Beerbohm Tree in forwarding to the plaintiff a copy of the anonymous letter handed to the English actor, whereupon Justice Collins said: “There is no occasion to mention the name of Mr. Beerbohm Tree.” Mr. Carson, in reply, remarked : “No should I do so, My Lord, had it not been that I received a sable message from Mr. Tree to-day asking that his connection with the case be fully explained.” “Every one understands that Mr. Tree’s connection with the case is in every way honorable and praiseworthy,” said the Justice, in conclusion. Wilde returned to the court room for a few' minutes before the adjournment. Such was the interest in the proceed ings to day that the services of an extra force of police were required outside the Old Bailey iu order to disperse the large crowds which assembled in the neighbor hood in order to see the principals in this notorious case. The audience was largely composed of lawyers and reporters. There were few notable persons present. After the noon recess the crowd in the court room was larger than ever, and the hall and stairs leading to it were filled ten deep with j well-dressed men who were awaiting a | chance to enter. Lord Alfred Douglas was present in | court tor a short time during the morn ! ing but did not return in the afternoon. Most of the newspapers aie printing | the testimony in the suit almost verba i tira, but the chit f testimony was such ; to day that the St. James Gazette says: ; “The nature of the evidence and the whole circumstances of the case prove to be of such a character that we cannot report it.” The Gazette adds: “The English pub lic is at the present moment involved in one of those orgies of indecency permit j ted by the operations of open law courts and an enterprising press.” The Gazette urges that all such cases should be heard in camera. The case was opened yesterday in the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, be fore Justice Collins. Oscar Wilde charges the Marquis of Queensberry w ith libel iu leaving, on February 28 last, an un covered card at the Albemarle Club, on which card were written certain foul epithets. As a result, Mr. Wilde, on March 2, caused the arrest of the Marquis of Queensbury, and the latter at the Marlborough street pt lice court was placed under £1,500 bail. TO FIX THEIRCURRENCY VIEWS Illinois Democrats Call a State Con vention tor This I’urpose. Springfield, Ills , April 4 - The De mocratic State Committee held an impor taut meeting to day. The object was to discuss the calling of a State Delegate Convention to fix the currency views of the Illinois Dem ocracy for the next campaign. The sen timent was nearly all in favor of the Convention. It was decided to call one to meet in Springfield June 4th. Each county committee is instructed to call a county convention for an ex pression of views and sending delegates to the State convention. The basis of representation is one delegate for every three hundred votes cast for Claggett for State Treasurer. The Democrats are urged to turn out to the county conven tions and to give free expression to their views so that there may be no doubt as to the position of the party. The vote was 17 ayes to 3 noes. Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago, favored a delay of twenty days, and left for Chicago before the vote ras taken. Chairman Heinrichsen, of the State committee, gives out an interview on the subject, asserting that there is no ques tion that Illinois Democracy is almost unitedly for free silver, and he be lieves that the convention will so declare. He expects a tre mendous outpouring of Democrats to the State convention. He declared to the United Press correspondent that he has considerable trouble holding county committees back from expressions in favor of the white metal and that the sentiment of the Democracy of the State is so overwhelmingly in favor of some early and emphatic action that the State committee could not do less than call the convention. JAPANESE CAPTURE MAKONG. The Inhabitants Appear to he Easy to Govern. London, April 4.--A Central News despatch from Tokio says information has been received from the Pescadores, that on March 29 the Japanese warship Matausina sounded the mouth of the Makong Bay.

The captured Chi nese officers were retained. The guns in the forts are slightly damaged and are being repaired. The inhabitants are resuming business and appear to be easy to govern. USED NITRO-GLYCERIN F. The Vault Door Was Plugged W ith It Hilt the Fuse Did Not Burn. Elyria, Ohio, April 4 —The door of the vault in the County Treasurer’s office here was plugged with nitro glyce rine last night by robbers, who then at tached a fuse. The floor was found covered with half a dozen horse blankets. The outer door and window had beeu forced, and a com plete kit of tools was found near the vault, which contained $17,000 Tho fuse appeared to have been lighted. The sheriff telegraphed for an expert to open the vault, being afraid that the nitro-glyeerine will explode if tampered with. There is no clue. Kicltiuoud Asks for Low Rate*. Richmond, Va., April 4 —At a special meeting of the board of directors of ihe Chamber of Commerce held this evening Mr. D. 8. Goodman, manager of the traffic bureau of the Chamber was au thorized to go to Washington and rep resent the body before the Interstate Commerce Commission in the matter of the Southern Railway being allowed to meet the cut in rates of the Seaboard Air Line. Steps were also taken to have a series of meetings to discuss ihe wel fare and progress of Richmond and bring the city’s advantages into more promi nence. A .Murderer Electrocuted. Auburn, N. Y., April 4 —William Lake was electrocuted at 12:45 p. m. for the murder of Emma Hunt in October, 1894, at the house of John Van Camp, a farmer living about eight miles northeast of Albion, in the town of Carlton, DELIGHTED WITH DIXIE NEW ENGLAND MILL AEN ARE PLEASED WITH TIIEIfrTRIP TO TIIE SOUTH. THEY WILL VISIT RALEIGH. Yesterday was Spent Visiting lhethr.«. Largest Hills in South Carolina—To day they are in Asheville—Though Saying Very Little they are Making Careful Investigations as to the Ad vantages Offered lor Manufacturing in this Section. Spartanburg, S. C., April 4.—The Massachusetts mill committee to-day vis ited and inspected three of the largest mills in South Carolina. They say that the South is not only a competitor of the New England manu facturers in certain lines, but that the developments are steadily going on. In almost every place they visited additrms to present plauts were beiug made, shov ing the confidence of the owners iu tb; : enterprises. The committee came to the South with a view of seeing what was to be seen and not on a mere pleasure jaunt. No time was lost in unnecessary sight-seeing or frolicking, but the entire day has been spent iu an active canvass of the mill situation demonstrated in the larger mills of a Southern State, which has dis tinctively large and successful cottou mills. Most of the committee had not previously made a personal visit to the mill district of South Carolina, and were surprised at the development of the last few years. It was very largely through the in strumentality of Mr D. A. Thompkins, of Charlotte, N. C., that the committee ctme to the South, as Mr, Thompkins, who is a thorough believe! in the possi bilities of the South, wanted the mill men to see for themselves the favorable conditions for cotton manufacturing ex Lsting in the South as he has demonstrat ed iu his own enterprises. As a matter of general information, the following is a brief summary of those iu the party: Wm. C. Lovering, president of the Arkwright Club of Bos ton. This club is made up of owners and treasurers of principal mills in New England. Mr. Lovering has interests in various mills of more than 120,000 spin dles, and employs more than 3,000 oper atives. He is a careful student of in dustrial interests Then there are Mr. Thomas Motley, a nephew of the historian, who represents | the Chicopee, Saratoga and Victory mills; ; Mr. W. C. Amory, treasurer of Amory | Mills, Manchester, N. 11., and also a director of the Amoskeag Mills, the j largest cotton mill in the world, and other large mills. Mr. Henry C. Howe, ; partner of Lawrence & Company, who j handies all the goods of the Pacific mills, the Lawrence and other mills; also a prac- \ tical manufacturer. Mr. Arthur Amory ' sells all the goods of the Jack- ; ; son Mills and Nashua Mills, in Nashua, J ; N. H., which mills have just gotten per j | mission to go out ot the State and : ; build mills in other States to mauufac- i i ture their own brands of goods. Mr. Amory is also the agent of ihe Lar.cis ter gingham mills at Clinton, Mass., ] and the Appleton Mills at Lowell. Mr. Henry B. Coxe, Jr., is in the mining business and represents Coxe Bros, of Pennsylvania, who mine 5,000 tons a day of Lehigh Anthracite coal. Mr. D. A. Thompkins, of Charlotte, N. C., who has been in charge of the party since it left the North and who expects j to remain with it until the return, is de ! voting himself entirely to the task cf j seeing that the party has every possible attention. Mr. Fred Oliver, who is j largely interested in Southern cotton mills enterprises, is also with the party. Mr. R. H. Edmonds, of the Man ufacturer’s Record, who has done so j much for tbe development of the South, is also along, taking in everything that I presents itself, aud more determined than ever to do what he can for this sec- | tion. In addition to this there are with the j party representing the Southern Rail- j way, Traffic Manager Culp and his sec- i retary, Mr. Powers; General Passenger Agent Tuik and his secretary; Assistant Traffic Manager Drake. ar:<l others, of the Southern Railway. Superintendent Turner and hi.s Secre tary Mr. L-v.recce, and traffic manager Glover aid Secretary Flouruey of the Seaboard Air Line, are also in the party, j The S. A. L. had charge of tho com mittee until Charlotte was reached when it was turned over to the Southern Railway, which will turn if back to the Seaboard Friday night at Charlotte. The railroad men are doing everything possible for the convenience of the party and just now Messrs. Turk Culp and Drake are doing everything possible. Mr. Thompkins, for the com mittee, has already receive ! over a huu j dred invitations to visit different places. | The committeemen do not have very much to say, but are making a close, 1 thorough and business like examination, j They are taking careful notes of what they see and hear, as well as of the data which is cheerfully given them by mill men. Talking of the visit of what he has already seen in this State and North Carolina, Mr. Lowering, who is chair mau of the party said to the News and Courier correspondent that the committee was very much pleased with the attention that had beeu shown them and were flattered with the number of invitation that had beeu received from enterprising South ern towns, w hich he said, impressed the PRICE FIVE CENTS. committee with the business spirit mani ! felted in the south. The committee had > seen, he said, a number of very fine cot ton mills, some that would compar n;o-t favorably with any eastern iui I’' 1 ’' He went on to say that tho w’.'is also impressed with the earned®® 6 j wfith which the entire people we* 5 . wO . I ing up the subject of cotton s»- QUin K 1C i the South. He said that he found t u WR £ es here to be less than they v.t re‘ n *' ie east and he admitted his surprise tho good ap pearance aud striking character of the people employed in the cotton mills. The joeople employed, he went on to say, j eemed to him to have a vt ry wholesome aid respectable appearance and work w»h activity and diligence. 4r. Thompkics during the day re ; ceivd u telegram from Knoxville advia- I ing him if agreeable that Mr. J. W. Heah, President of the Chamber ol Comneree of Knoxville would join the party. He was extended a cordial invi tation io join the committee. During the day Mr. Howe had to leave the party or account of the death of a friend. The committee has already visited and examined all of the cotton mills at Charlotte, together with those at Henri etta, Pelzer, Piedmont and Paeolet and the water power at High Shoals. Other mills will be taken in as the trip pro presses. Os course it is entirely problematic as to what will result from this visit of active and wide awake mill men but it is safe to say that the New England mill interests have realiz<d the importance of the Southern industiy and after a careful investiga tion sone of their capital will be allowed to ccme Couth and join that which is al ready making considerable money in the mills of the South. The party ig due to arrive at Asheville at 11:30 to-night, and will reach Raleigh at 12:30 Mondiy. Everything so far run smoothly aid pleasantly.' The com mittee to-day visited three of the largest mills in this State and for that matter, in the South. BASEBALL IN TIIE SOUTH. Lynchburg Witnesses its First Proles sional Game tor the Season.
