END OF THE PRESS CONVENTION. The Meetine Was One of the Most Suc cessful Ever Held Within the History of the Association—The Newspaper Men Delighted With Their Stay in the City of Flower*—Brilliant and Witty Speeches at the Banquet- Visit to Guilford Battle Ground. Special to tlie News and Observer. Greensboro, N„C., July 19. This morning the editors and their wives said good bye to hospitable Greeps boro, and boarded the cars for their jaunt to the seaside. It has been a pleasant and profitable session, and, as for the pleasure, that is not yet over by any means. A rising vote of thanks to the citizens of Greensboro, the Brockman School of Music, and the railroads of the State was adopted at the banquet last night. The pencil pushers have enjoyed thor oughly their stay in the City of Flowers. Now they turn their faces to the sum mer sea. and show their passes to More head, where Dr. Blacknall flourishes and the Hotel Atlantic covers the ground. The speeches at the banquet last night were instructive and able, as well as wise and witty. Dr. Charles Mclver made a stirring plea for higher education of the women of the State, asking that the girls be given an equal chance with the boys. Editor Caldwell said that the first duty of the press is to be honest with the people. ‘‘That fatal disease, constitution, carries off more people than any other ill that afflicts mankind,” truly stated one of the orators. Col. James E Boyd, paid a high tri bute to Calvin Graves as the father of the North Carolina railroad. The speech that received the most lib eral and genuine applause at the ban quet was the effort of Mr. H. A. London. Mr. Marshall predicted that sometime in the future we people in North Caro lina would see windmills all over the State generating electricity for farming operations and that all night electric plows would turn furrows under the glare of electric lights. Hon. John L. King was too sick to ap pear at the banquet, and Mr. Moses H, Cone, of New York, president of the Cone Export and Commission Company, (sometimes called the “Plaid Trust”) res ponded to the toast “North Carolina’s Cotton Manufactures.” Mr. Cone stated that he was a free trader, and he thought that free trade, while injuring the eastern mills, would be the making of manufacturing in the South. He said, “Contrary to the opin ion of many of you editors I am not such a terrible arrival, and haven’t any horns growing out of my head.” He said the Cone Company was not a trust, but a simple commission and selling arrangement, it bas done more, he said, to diversify fabrics in the South than all other agencies combined. He ended with some strong talk against free silver, and said the agitation was keeping North ern capital out of the State. He wanted the editors to know for their own informa tion, the condition o F affairs in free silver Mexico, and offered to give SSOO to pay the expenses of two editors, one on each side of the financial question, for a trip through Mexico, they to report condi tions as they saw them. He nominated as ambassadors of the press Joseph P. Caldwell, of the Charlotte Observer, and Josephus Daniels, of the Raleigh News and Observer. This new proposition has been much discussed, pro and con, among the editors. Col.R. M. Douglas said: “The bar and the press are the greatest guardians of our liberty. ” Though the sun blazed down with all its might and made things hot for the editors, the trip to Guilford Battle Ground was mucn enjoyed. “The Continentals couldn’t have had as hot a time as we had here to-day,” re marked the courtly editor of the Chat ham Record, who had his coat in his hand. Several of the editors were of the opinion that the battle of Guilfoid Court House was fought between Judge Shenck and Col. Jas. M. Morehead on the fourth of July, and that Joseph Winston, (whose statue stauds in one corner of the grounds; was referee. “How did they come to build this bat tie ground so far from town ?” asked Editor Deal, of the State of Wilkes. One of the pilots was showing the editors the spot where a revolutionary hero was killed. It is under the shade of a big tree. “This is where Forbes fell,’’ said the guide impressively. “Well, what was he doing up that tree,any bow,” asked a broad browed editor. The new Executive Committee is com posed of: Thad R. Manning, J. L. Ram sey, Maj. E J. Hale, Josephus Daniels, J. A. Thomas. Arrived at) Morehead. Morehead City, N. 0., July 19. The members of the State Press Asso ciation arrived here to night—two car loads of them—headed by President Stevens, of the Southport Leader. They have accepted the invitation of Col. J ulian 8. Carr to spend a few days at the seaside as his guests and he will see to it that they have a good time. Everything possible will be done for the comfort and enjoyment of the editors and their fami lies during their stay at the Atlantic. YOUNG CHRISTIAN WORKERS. _____ Second Day of the Baptist Young Peo ple’s Union. Baltimore, Md., July 19.—With prayer and song the second day was be gun of the Fifth International Conven tion of the Baptist Young Peoples’ Union of America. State banners were planted through out the tent this morning and around these rallied the delegates and visitors from the several States as they arrived. Each band took possession of the tent for a time and a noisy time it was. “Maryland, My Maryland,” “The Star Spangled Banner,” “The Red, White and Blue,” were mingled with hymns until Ontario came up with “God save the Queen.” Finally the great choir got an audience, sang “America” and comparative calm prevailed. The States broke out soon again with calls for the convention of 1896, to be held in their own particular places, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Texas being particularly conspicuous. The Brooklyn, N. Y., band was quiet to day. It is hoped to have the convention of 1897 in Brooklyn. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. A. B. Chafee, D. D., South Bend, Ind. The Union elected the following offi cers for the ensuing year: President John H. Chapman, Illinois; Vice-Presidents, P. F. Bothong, New Jersey; J. R. Shen -Btone, Toronto, Ont.; George B. Taylor, D. D., Virginia; Recording Secretary, Rev. H. W. Reed, Illinois. The Committee on Important Topics congratulated the Union on the rapid and reliable growth in all that makes for the unification, cultivation and wise direction. The salutation of the flags and minute guns by representatives of the State and Provincial Unions then took place, the choir singing “We are Christian Sol diers.” One minute was assigned to the speaker of each State and Province, and in happy phrase and exhilirating story each made his report, followed by a verse of Holy Song by the delegation from State or Province. Virginia sang to the music of “Old Virginia Shore,” and was loudly ap plauded. Pennsylvania presented a very strong delegation. Oregon invited the convention to accept its hospitality in 1895, and Ohio followed, saying if the place for holding the convention was to be fixed so far ahead, Ohio gave notice that she would soon want the conven tion. North Dakota announced the condem nation of lotteries and the liquor busi ness by the State. New York presented letters from the Private Secretary of Gov. Morton, Mr. Ashley W. Cole, and from Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn, seconding the in vitation of the delegation, to hold ’be convention in 1897 in Brooklyn. Michigan reported 13,000 Baptist Young People, and thus the States and provinces continued to the close. Mas sachusetts asked that the convention of ’9B be held in Boston. When Maryland was called there was great applause, and the choir gave a stanza of “Mary land, My Maryland”, the great congre gation making a grand chorus. Denver demanded the convention for 1897, and while delegates throughout the tent shouted “Amen,” a fantasti cally dressed person marched through the main aisle bearing a quadrilateral banner inscribed, “Pikes Peak or bust in ’97;” “Go West, young man, and take the ladies;” “Ho, Denver, ’97;” “One mile above Brooklyn.” There was no afternoon session in the tent. Instead, thereof there was held twelve “Workers conferences” in various churches, the general topic being “The Young People’s Society as a Working Force.” THE NORFOLK AND WESTERN. Not Likely that the Road Will be Re- Organized Before September. London, July 19.— Several members of the Norfolk and Western re-organiza tion committee are in this city, and con ferences have been held with the Euglish security holders looking to the formation of a plan for the re habilitation of the company on an equal basis between the stock and bondholders. It is not likely however, that any definite agreement will be arrived at before September, as the present earnings of the road, owiDg to the strike, are not regarded as furnish ing a proper basis for a re-organization plan. In view of the fact that the greater part of the company’s securities are held on this side of the Atlantic, the work of securing assents to a plan must be done here in large part. FOR CANNING HORSE MEAT. An Establishment lor This Purpose in Operation in Oregon. Portland, Ore., July 19*-The horse canning plant of the Western Packing Company, located at Linnton, ten miles from this city, will commence operations to-day. The establishment has all the facilities for slaughtering, packing and piepaving horse meat for shipment, and it is the only one of its kind on the Pa cific Coast. Several car loads of horses have been shipped here to be slaughtered. With in the next few days it is expected that a good market for horse meat will be worked up in foreign countries. A General Increase In W ages. Lowell, Mass., July 19.—Notices were posted in all the cotton mills of the city to day that a general increase in wages will be made beginning August 5. The amount of the increase is not stated. Several thousand people are affected. The increase was decided upon at a meet ing of the manufacturers last evening. RALEIGH. N. C., SATURDAY, JULY 20, !895. OUR NEUTRALITY LAWS PROBABLY THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION IN YESTERDAY’S CABINET MEETING. OR WAS ITABOUT THE MORA CLAIM The President Was Not Present but the Attorney General and the Secre taries of State, Treasury and Navy Attended the Meeting—The First Time in Many Years That There Has Been a Mid-Summer Meeting in the Absence of the President. Washington, D. 0., July 19.—For the first time in many years there was a mid summer Cabinet meeting in Wash ington this afternoon in the absence of the President. Secretary of State Olney apparently came to Washington from Falmouth, for the express purpose, for he arrived this noon and will leave the city immediately, to-morrow morning. Secretary Olney called at the War De partment soon after his arrival at the State Department to talk with Secretary Lamont. The latter was attend fjlkv~v an effort was made to telephone. Secretary Herbert next recoiv v visit from the Secretary of Sts'. jj, about four o’clock the pair walk to the State Department and wen ed in the office of Secretary A Here they were joined in the eo A half an hour by Secretary Cani Attorney General Harmon, wh> been called by telephone into the ' ence. This lasted for full two hou JHk from time to time, Assistant Adee, who has been acting as of State during the absence of Se discussion. Whatever ihjoct o considered can not be learned parently it was resolved to cecding secret, for each of mm present, as they emerged, declqf/, ously but positively to answj uj. question touching their d4| r . All that could be gathered Z - effect that nothing had happJL o; Gables to give rise to any app.._ Still there was an air of gravi e demeanor of the cabinet officer.j|F y emerged from the conference th&fjnH-'d indicate that some weighty andapapr tant questions had been under £l*us sion. What these may have been can only be surmised without any tangible evidence of probability. One theory is that Mora claim was be fore the cabinet in the shape of some proposition from the Spanish government for its settlement that perhaps involved the element of a long time and conse quently justified some hesitation before it could be disposed of. Another idea broached was that there was an ugly question as to the fulfillment of our neutrality obli gations towards Spain that had caused the sudden assemblage of the cabinet officers. This has some color from the fact that the particular officers gathered at the State Department this after noon were just those who would be charged with the execution of the neutrality laws. The Secretary oi State would be clothed with general su pervision, the Attorney General would look after the enforcement of the law ashore, the Secretary of the Treasury, through the Collectors of Customs and revenue cutters, would;caie for the ports and coasts, and the Secretary of the Navy would maintain patrol in the blue water. In further confirmation of this theory it was said that the Spanish Min ister, Senor Dapuy Do Lome, had bud denly arrived in Washington from Massa chusetts, but a close search failed to di cover his whereabouts and Secretary Olney would not admit that he had seen him. There are those who believe that it was this subject of neutrality who en gaged the most serious attention of the cabinet officers It is known that they have been watching narrowly the pro ceedings of the Cuban sympathizers who have been operating in the United States and it is believed that the open and questionable operations at the New York meeting lately, when a convention went through the forms of electing presi dents for Cuba, has given rise to some doubt on the part of our government as to whether this was a proceeding that did no in itself consti tute, at least in spirit, an infraction of that principle of the neutrality laws which forbid the use of the United States as a base of operations against a nation with which the United States is on terms of peace. If this view was taken of the matter in the cabinet meeting to-day, it. is likely it will be manifested through the issue of another presidential proelama tion much more sweeping iu its terms that that already put forth warning the residents of this country against any in fraction of the neutrality laws, and this in turn may be followed by instructions to the judicial officers of the government that will summarily check any hostile movements against the Spaniards in Cuba from this country. Minister De Lome was seen to night but refused absolutely to be interviewed as to the reasons for his presence here at this time. The impression is very strong to-night that the Cabinet meeting was for the purpose of discussing the neutrality feature of the Cuban question and it is believed that some public statement will be made in regard thereto in a few days. AMONG THE RAILWAYS THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY AND ST EA MS Hll* ASSOC IA TION ADJOURNS. THE SEABOARD MAY YET JOIN IT. Vice-President St. John Says That the Seaboard is Not Unfriendly to the Association, But That the Old Agree ment Was Unsatisfactory-Says His Line Will Never be Controlled by the Sonthern Rail way--Discusses the Terminal Advantages of Norfolk. Asheville, N. 0., July 19. —'The Southern Railway and Steamship Asso ciation adjourned this afternoon, t© meet iu New York, August 15. A partial agreement was effected with Mr. St. John, of the Seaboard Air Line, before adjournment by which bis road will be a member of the Southern Association con ditionally, the conditions to be de termined at the New York meetiug. Officers of the Association were not elected to-day. It is believed that J. W. Thomas will be elected President at the yiev? York meeting. While the sessions of the Association ) a great those on the out *t was doubtless none the less disap | .nng to the magnates who had vainly h |} ‘VI that the’differences thiat have so ‘' jt.g oeen the source of contention would A isfaetorily adjusted to the interests M ’ concerned. This hope was riepeat- H'} expressed by the more proffifinent ■ _bers of the association. M?. St. m ■ , Vice-President Seaboard- Line * evening consented te. an interview h a reporter of tJue Associated Press. ! a asked jt. Jbere was any probability j ■>,y. Southern would control the , in the near future, Mr. St. % eplied: Wr there are no negotiations or any f ing looking in the direction of a con ” lof the Seaboard by the Southern 30 ;r as known by its officials, and it is * 'e to assume that it would be known re there the slightest truth in the fp.j“°raent or a shadow of foundation for j.!* .. *to that effect.” : f speaking of the establishment of a t- -.£> wafer terminus by any of the larger ! »h:‘*y corporations of the South at > folk and Portsmouth, Mr. St. John L >L “The acquisition of certain property Yr control of it by options held in second hands, of the establishment of a deep water terminus for one of the large rail way corporations, should cause no sur prise indeed. The only surprise that it caused in the minds of many people is the delay that has occurred in the mat t >r. It would seem that it would have f oeeu the right and on’y thing to Law; done eight or ten years ago. Norfolk and Portsmouth furnish all the requirements necessary for the transaction of every branch of business, both foreign and do | mestic, and its deep water harbor, with little governmental attention and expense can be made the very first iu all proba bility in the world. Old lines of ocean steamers are considering Norfolk and Portsmouth for their future harbor, and it seems only a question of time when many of them must of necessity change their present location to this evidently more desirable one, and so will the rail roads who have heretofore been so near and yot so far, from the necessities and reals'riquirements of their business.” Mr. St. John said in speaking of the attitude of the Seaboard toward the Asso ciation : “The attitude is not unfriendly in the main. It recognizes that changes in the present agreement were most desirable and necessary and they were made a precedent of their beiug made members. The old ag’eemer.t was and has been un derstood for years to have been unsatis factory to many lines within its member ship and notably to the Seaboard Air Line, and it should have been so con sidered at the outset and not have been persistently pressed. We realize of necessity that the Seaboard Air Line need not be considered iu the tormation or adoption of any agreement. It does not believe in boycotts or that boycott ar ticles, embracing arbitrary or summary action,are necessary. An argument is a compact based upon honor. No line can be absolutely forced to do the thing which it is not to their interest to do, penalties or arbitrary action on the part of com petitors or others to the contrary not withstanding. We believe a continuance of old conditions not essential to the se curement of just and equitable rates, or to prevent the enforcement of any agree ment. Almost anything would be bet ter than past conditions.” A SENSATION IN ASHEVILLE. Four Democrats Arrested Yesterday lor Buying Votes. Asheville, N. C., July 19. - A sensa tion was caused in political circles here to-day when it became known that Joe Jarvis, John Noland and John Gibson had been arrested on the charge of buy ing votes in the spring municipal elec tion. The last named is a negro. All gave bond to the amount of S4OO for appearance in court. Other arrests will be made to-mor row. All are Democrats. StainboulofPs Assassins Arrested. Sofia, July 19.—Three of the asso ciates of Major Panitza, who was exe cuted for conspiracy at the order of ex- Premier Stambonloff were arrested to day, one as tke assassin of Stambouloff and the others as accomplices. The gendarmes have been dismissed from the force and will be tried for connection with the murder. THE BABY IS NAMED. Aad the Young Miss Cleveland Shall Be Called Marion. Buzzard’s Bay, July 19.—Marion, a French rendition of the musical name Mary, has been decided upon by Presi dent and Mrs. Cleveland as the name for the baby born to them about two weeks ago. The fact was officially announced by private Secretary Thurbe? this afternoon and the many residents of the this vicin ity, who have been waiting patiently to learn what the third daughter in the President’s family would be called, took up the news and the name was soon being repeated in every household. There was no unusual ceremony at tendant upon the naming of the baby except such as occurs in any household upon such occasions. Mr. Thurber was with the President all day; but it can not be learned that bis opinion was asked, or that he had any other part in the proceeding than to make the an nouncement. No other reason for the name has been suggested except that it was that of the beautiful spot on the shores of Buzzard’s Bay in which the President and his wife passed several month.- previous to their selection of Gray Gables, Marion, Mass. THE DISGRACE TOO GREAT. A Rowan County Man Assaults His Niece and Then Kills Ilimself. Winston, N. 0., July 19.—M. P.

Several months ago Cline was convic ted oi making an assault on his niece and sentenced to work on the county roads for two years. After a few months be made his escape from the chain gang. Yesterday he went home, bade his wife and five children farewell and then went up stairs and shot himself. MAKING A STUBBORN DEFENSE. The Chinese Getting the Better of the Japanese in Formosa. Yokohama, July 19.—An official dis patch received here from the Island of Formosa, says that the Chinese are mak ing a stubborn defense of that territory. After the capture of Lung Taupae, on June 14, an attempt was made to effect a junction between two Japanese bat talions at the River Takukau; but the at tempt failed and a squadron of Japanese cavalry which was suddenly attacked by a superior force of Chinese, was cut to pieces, only three troopers escaping. The junction of the two battalions was affected on July 16. FOR HEED OR McKINLEY. Senator Quay Name* hi* Ccoi.t Candidate* for President.

Rider Haggard, the author, who is standing in the Con servative interest for East Norfolk, has made his election tour in a four horse drag, and has been roughly treated, mud and stones being thrown in some cases.

At Stalhan the party was obliged to take refuge in a hotel, which was besieged The police were dispatched to the rescue. From North Walsham, Norwich and Yarmsuth the situation of the party increased in gravity, and at midnight mounted police were sum moned . Trying to Form Another Trust. Chicago, 111., July 19.—Some of the largest paper manufacturers in the country,representing about three-fourths of the total output of the rolls used in the newspaper business have been at work several weeks, trying to perfect the details of a combine of the several companies in one big corporation. While many dealers and consumers have known for sometime that such a deal was con templated, interested parties denied the rumor until yesterday, when it was prac tically admitted the plan wonld be car ried through. The deal involves at least $30,000,000. A Young >Vif«* Shoots Herself. Danville, Va., July 19.—Mrs. Ella Farmer, aged 25 years, the wife of John D. Farmer, the agont of the Southern Railway at Motley’a, this county, com mitted suicide at her home to-day by firing a bullet in her right temple from a 38 cali bre Smith and Wesson pistol.

Large numbers continue to arrive. PRICE FIVE CENTS. MIDSUMMER DULLNESS THE WEEK’S TRADE NEWS HAS NOT BEEN ENTIRELY ENCOURAGING. THE SOUTH SHOWS IMPROVEMENT Though There i* a Perceptible De crease in the Demand for Manufac tured Products There Are Numerous Advances in Wages, and Strikes Are Becoming Less Frequent and of Lit tle Importance—Cotton Mills Con tinue to Enjoy a Large Business. New York, July 19.—R. H. Dun & Co's., weekly review of trade which issues to morrow, will say: The week's nows is not entirely encouraging but is all the more natural because there are signs of mid summer dullness. Wheat prospects are not quite so good as last week, but still there are lower prices, as com and cotton have been lowered. The exports of gold and the less favorable treasury returns for July are not unexpected and mean nothing as to coming' business. There is pro eeptible decrease in the demand for most manufactured products and the actual distribution to consumers natu rally lessons in mid summer. Much of the recent buying was to anticipate a rise in prices and such purchases'fall off when prices have risen. There are still numerous advances in wages, but strikes grow more numerous and important in part because business was unusually large in the first half of July, a quiet tone meets reasonable expectations. The heavy bank failure at Montreal does not affect finances here and is pass ing there with less disturbance than was feared. Gold exports after the middle of July, when crops are beginning to move, lfi not affecting stocks can, at all events, have only a speculative signifi cance. Wheat has declined two cents for Sep tember, corn 1 1-2 cents and cotton 1-8 for spot. Western receipts of wheat, not half last years, express disappoint ment at prices, while exports for the week, about a quarter of last year’s and for three weeks only 2,829,028 bushels, flour included, against 7,046,267 last year, show that foreign dealers are not regarding the situation with anxiety. Nor do British accounts indicate any anxiety about cotton, while efforts are reported by some American mills to sell part of the stocks taken months ago, ap parently exceeding their needs for the year. If unfavorable to some speculators, these are cheering indications for it is bet ter to have fair crops than to get higher prices for what remains. Orders have so accumulated in iron products that some works forego the usual summer rest and Eastern iurnacoe .toon to begin blast will add about 5,009 tons weekly to the production. Minor metals are stronger with sales of 4,000,000 pounds, copper up to 11 cents for lake, and tin very firm in spite of a visible supply. Wool advanced in the first half of July an average of 1 cent for 104 quota tions of domestic by Coates Brothers, of Philadelphia, and is now 7 per cent, higher than a year ago. Sales naturally lessen, being 7,980,000 pounds for the week, against an average of over 18,- 000,000 pounds for each of the two pre vious weeks, but prices are sustained by German and French buying in the Lon don market. Manufacturers do not support the advance, and are buying only for immediate needs, but holders who have taken, for weeks past, several times the quantity consumed are still buying. Cotton mills continue to enjoy a large business, and several have advanced wages this week, but some strikers of considerable importance are threatened or in progress. The weaker tone of the material does not as yet affect the prices of goods. Failures for the week have been 256 in the United Srates against 360 last year, and 39 in Canada, against 44 last year. Brailstreet’s Review'. New York, July 19.—Bradstreet’s to morrow will say : All the previously reported favorable industrials and com mercial features are continued this week. Reports from Southern cities show further improvement. Gains this week being more marked than in a like period for months before. Country merchants in South Carolina are much encouraged with the crop out look,asdemand isfair and prices tend up ward. Like reports come from Augusta, and in Texas cotton buyers have begun to make their presence felt. Delayed payment of sugar bounties checks trade in the Louisiana sugar districts. The volume of trade is smaller atJackson yillo. • II«- Saved the Emperor’s Life. Denver, Col., July 19. —Daniel Scheewe, has appealed to the County Board for assistance, and was provided with a ticket to Kansas City, where he has friends. He once saved the life of the present Emperor of Germany, who was thrown from a horse and would have been trampled to death had not Scheewe rushed out from the crowd and dragged him to a place of safety. For this act he was presented with a signet ring which he still wears. i Keii forceuu nts to Be Seut to Cuba. Madrid, July 19.—Six additional bat ; teries of artillery will be seut to Cuba i during the present month, and during the month of September reinforcements i to the number of thirty thousand troops > will be dispatched to the Island under command of Generals Pola and Yiji.
