THE REPUBLICAN PROBABILITIES All Minds Hie Bcint Sol nn Allison ns Their Next Nominee tor Preside nt— The Defeat of the Democrats all Along the Line Has Serve d to Unite the Leaders—No One Can Say to An other Yon Did It--Gorman. Brice and Hill are in a Bad Predicament. Bpeclal to the News and Observer. Washington, D. C., Nov. 9. It is as fashionable as profitable to speculate upon the far reaching effects of the expressed sentiment of the country as ascertained last Tuesday. There is a disposition to concur in the opinion that Mr. Gorman will have all that he can reasonably undertake to stay in the Sen ate, and can postpone any glances down the avenue. Mr. Brice can snatch a few hasty moments from a whirl in the Street and devote them to getting in again. Mr. Hill ha* walking before him to get back to Washington a* a Senator and can defer any further demonstrations on the nomination. Now turn the glas3 on the Republican probabilities. Has the well rounded ma jority in Ohio helped McKinley ? Any body can carry Ohio on the Republican ticket, said a "well-read Buckeye politi cian yesterday—even a yaller dog. So it will not n quire Mr. McKinley. The compact and eathasiastic legions of the West are not enthusiastic about a noitn easter like Reed. Mr. Hanison has h prestige of defeat and the ill will of the promoters of the now scheme, so all minds seem to set to Allison. His chances have advanced everywhere. He is trusted by the older head*, has no antagonisms to worry him and no breaches to heal. He comes from a sec tion of the country that is in position to demand and that has not wearied the country with importuniry. To go back to the Democrats, the de feats ail along the lines have uni ed all the quarrelling leaders in a common woe. No one can say to another ’‘you failed to keep your tribe in line.” They all failed and each can say to the other, with Uncle Jake Long’s old woman in Alamance, “Don’t you think I have played h -1,” and the other will say “amen.” A fat old lady who was asthmatic and blowed in between sentences married a good for nothing fellow addicted to leisure and liquor and who was com monly called Bill. After he got the widow he confiscated her butter, chick ens, and eggs to his personal use ard sold them for liquor. Repentance di rected her to lawyer Parker who got her a bill of divorce from bed and board. On her return home she found Bill doing business at the same old stand. Meeting the genial Jake she said to him: “Lawyer, you know I was sorter lonesome oit at my p'ace and Bill he cgma along (blow) and fooled me into marrying er him (blow) then he took everything there was and sold ’em for liquor (blow) and we quarrelled and sic (blow; and theu I got a divorcement, and when I went home I found Bill thar jest the same (blow) Now, lawyer, what do you think?” Without waiting fora legal an swer she aided “Now lawyer, don’t you think I played h—l,” and the able coun sellor never ‘deniged of it.’ Mr Lmg called on Postmaster Gen eral Wilson on business last Wednesday, and had the pleasure of the usual wait while the official was at luuch. He be gan his interview by telling the Post master that be was disposed to doubt the veracity of the Cei berus who watches at the dcor, because he did tot believe that any well regulated Democrat had any appetite for lunch, and he got into the good graces of the learned West Virgioian without more ado, and if he did not get what be wanted it was because it wasn’t in stock. * * * Senator Edmunds says that the Gov ernment can raise all the it needs for absolute e>pauses by increasing the exc se duties and that tne tariff will not be greatly changed. * * * Mr. Wm. E. Russell, one of the best of newspaper correspondents, sends the fol lowing interview with a member of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet to the Chicago Record. No name is given, but the view from the inside of the administration is interesting and rare enough to reprint. “I think, that before any of us do any talking we better get together and agree upon something to say. For my part I can think of a great many things f would like to say, but perhaps they would not be prudent for me or agreeable to some of my associates. This is the silly sea son, and a great many remarks will be made to-day and regretted to morrow. I have not seen the president, nor have I heard from him, but I as sume that he has his own views about the causes and the consequences just like the rest of us. No, 1 do not think it will make any difference in his Eoliey or his opinions. Grover Cleve md is not susceptible to atmospheric gheuomena, moral, physical or political. e has done what he thinks is right, and wdl contiuue to do so without regard to the number of votes cast by either party in Maryland, Kentucky or New York His attitude toward the tariff and the free coinage of silver and the Venezu elan complications and Cuban freedom Will not be altered a hair's breath by ti e defeat of Mr. Gorman or Mr. Brice or Mr. Hill; but the fact that there has been so decided a change inthesenti ment of the Democrats in Nebraska and Illinois on the silver question must nat urally b« a source of gratification to him. “No. I cannot t» 11 you what he thmk» about Kentucky or Mar} laud. It is fair to suppose that if Senator Gorman had not forced the nomination of a ticket that was offensive to a large fraction of his party it would have received a more harmonious support, and if the Demo crats of Kentucky had not nominated a free coinage candidate upon an anti free coinage platfoim they would have received more credit for consistency. That is self-evideut, I think, but I can not see why any one should charge the national administration with the re sponsibility of such foily, or assert th -*t it should accept any share of the rebuke that has followed it. “I do not think that the President, as a loyal Democrat, rejoices over the result in Maryland or Kentucky or Ohio, and I am very sure that he regrets it in New York,” continued my cabinet friend. “While he may not entirely approve of all Senator Gorman’s meth ods nor share all his views, he would nevertheless consider it a great loss to the count ry if Mr. Gorman were ret rod from public life. * * * “I was never able to rejoice when any Democrat was beaten,” said (Jol. Morri son Tuesday, “no matter who he was. nor was 1 ever able to find any crumbs of comfort in a Republican victory un der any circumstances. When I can do so I will join the Republican party and earn the right. “No, I should not call the result of the voting Tmsday an unqualified indorse ment of the administration, but I do not consider myeelt competent to interpret its meaning or point out the lessons it teaches. You cau go up to the White House and see Thurber about that. lie will fix you out. But as a practical man, I am willing to say that it looks to me as if the voters of the country did not want the men who were beaten to held office. They preferred the oieu who were elect td That fßct will no doubt soon be ap preciated by both sets of candidates and the public generally, even if they do not already realize it. That is the great moral I draw from the election.” “What effect will yeste* day’s vote have upon the next Democratic National Convention ?” “None whatever. There will be just as many candidates as before and all of them will be just a? anxious to secure the nomination. Auy sar e American whosays that he does not want to be President, or that he dcea not want to be nominat ed as a candidate for Precident, is a liar. No, the prospects for the election of the Democratic ticket next year are not flat tering. bur that will make no difference with the convention or the candidates.” * * * New Yorkers here say that Tammany is for Cleveland for a third term, and so is Hdl aud Murphy. Their argument is lhat he has brought the party to de feat and that he should he the man to S' ff:r by a bad defeat for th* presidency. Such childish talk is unworthy of lead ers. No matter who brought the party to defeat, it is the duty of every Demo crat to work for victory, and not indulge in saying to others, “You did it.” * * * North Carolinians here sympathize with Mr J. N. Cartwright, the meichant from Shiloh, Camden county, whose con fidence in a si ranger caused him to lose SBOO yesterday, particulars of which were telegraphed you It seems that Mr. Cartwright starred two days ago with SBOO cash to purchase his winter stock of goods for hia country store. While waiting in Norfolk for the boat be was approached by a stranger, and so enter taining was the stranger that he soon made triends with Mr. Cartwright, and as thev strolled along the streetstf Nor folk, Cartwright told the stranger that he was going to Baltimore, via Washing ton, to purchase a stock of goods, and that he was carrying all of bis money, S3OO, in his valise. The stranger said he was going lo Washington also. When they arrived they both register ed at the Metropolitan Hotel, deposited their valises with the clerk and received checks for them. The stranger, by some s’eight of land, reversid checks and took Mr. Caitwright’*. Mr. Cartwright went into breakfast, aud a few minutes afterwards the stranger came and asked for his valise. the check corresponded with the one on Mr. Cartwright’s valise, he took the latter valise with its contents. When Mr. Cartwright learned a short time afterwards of the robbery, he was so overcome that he cried like a child, for he said it was all the money he pos sessed. Detectives were put on the case and Mr. Cartwright returned home by the next boat. * * * Dr. G. W. Fanderlin returned this morning from Elizabeth City, where he has been for a week, attending to inter ests of his farm near by. The boat by which Dr. Handerlin returned ran into a tug near Newport New's and sank it. The fog being so dense, seeing ahead any distance was impossible. All were res cued save two, the cook and fireman. Mr. F. H Sears, of Cabarrus, who for merly held a position in the Land Office, has been appointed to a position as elec trician in the Treasury.

TURKEY SNUBS BRITAIN BAIIRI PASHA HONORED FOR ILL-TR* ATWFIVT OF THE ARMENIANS. “DECGR*T£Q FOR GOOD SERVICE'’ He Had Itfen Dismissed From Ills Official Position in Pur innee to the Representations of the British Am bassador'and His Decoration is Con sidered as in Open Defiance of the Powers—Affairs lift ve Now Reached a Most Critical Point. Constantinople, Nov. 9.— The Official Gazette announces that Bahri Pasha, who was dismissed from his official po sition in pursuance to the representa tions of the British Ambassador, Sir Philip Uutrie, owing to his ill treatment of Armenians, has been decorated with the grand cordon of the Osmenich order, “as a reward for his good services.” This step upon the part of the Sultan is considered most significant. It is not only an open and distinct mark of ap proval of the ill-treatment of Armenians, but it is a deliberate snub to Great Brit air, particularly, as in addition to the decoration bestowed upon Bahri Pasha the Official Gazette, publishes a long list of the names of TurkLh officials in Ar menia who have been decorated by the Sultan for their “good services.” In fact, it almost seems as if the Sultan is openly defy ing the powers. It is understood that the Vali of Aleppo, who is to be succeeded by the ex (fraud Viz er, Kiarail Pasha, was dismissed in consequence of the representations of the United States Minis er to Turkey, Mr. Alexander W. Terrell, because the Vaii refused to p rmit the United States consular agent at Aleppo to visit a natu rahz d Americau citizen, Guendjiam, of Armenian origin, who had been impris oned for life. Mr. Terrell obtained per mission from the Grand Vizier for the j consular agent to vi-ir, Guendjiam, but J the Vali persisted in ms refusal to pei m t the prisoner to be seen. The eventual result was that Mr. Ter rell made the strongest, ratresentations to the Porte and succeeded in obtaining the dismissal of the Vali and Guendjiam is now on his way to Constantinople to be tried before Mr. Terrell. Eleven Kurds, charged with the min der of Frank G Lei z, of Pittsburg, Pa., who started to ride around the world on a bicycle, and disappeared in Armenia, n*ve been arrested aud taken to Erzeroum, in order to be tried there in the presence of the British consul, in the absence o f an American consul, their arrest being to a certain degree due to the search which Mr. Wm. A. Sachlei ■ ben made T*r the missing rider, who ■ represented a New York publication. Over a hundred Armenians were ar rested at Stamboul and the enquiries made as to the cause of their imprison ment has failed to obtain a satisfactory answer. It is presumed, however, that they are charged with having taken part in some conspiracy against the Sultan. It transpired to-day that the dis missal of Kiamil Pasha from the post of Grand Vizier, was due to the Sultan ob jecting to his policy of conciliation towards Armenia. Members of the diplomatic corps this morning, who were questioned regard ing the political situaiion, express* d the belief that affairs had now reached a point when nothing remained but to call a conference of the powers to decide upon wbat was to be done to restore or der in the Turkish empire. It is understood that the British squadron i* to be re-inforced by a num ber of battleships, aud that it is intended to bring it up iu point of strength to the fighting power of any combination of fleets, which can be formed in the Medi terranean. The British fleet, it is also repor ed. will shortly be reinforced by several Itahan warships, Italy beiDg ready, ac cording to report, to act with England should an emergency arise.

Chairman Harrltv Thicks July Would be a Good Time lor it. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Before leaving for his home in Philadelphia, Chairman W. F. Harrity, of the Demo cratic National Committee, said: “For my own part, I think we can well afford to wait until the meeting of the Republican National Committee which will probably be held early in January next., in order to determine whether the Democratic National Convention should precede or follow the Republican National Convention. “As to the date of the convention.” continued Mr. Harritv, “I believe it should be held as late as is consistent with the campaign work to he done. A convention held in the beginning of July would onjy mean a nominal cam paign of four months arid an actual campaign of less than three months. The preliminary work essential to the proper conduct of the campaign need not of itself cause unnecessary agita tion or tend to unsettle business.’ 4 KILLED BY STAGE ROBBERS.

HER VOICE IS FOR WAR VENEZUELA’S PATRIOTISM IS AROUSED BY ENGLAND’S ULTIMATUM. PREPARED FOR jANV EMERGENCY A Semi-Official Government Organ Urges That English Subjects Be Expelled . rom the Disputed Terri tory aud Troops He Sent to the Frontier—Another Paper Says That Venezuela Can Raise 100,000 Troops aud Have Support of United Stales. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—The first information of the excited public feeling in Venezuela, resulting from tiie British demands reached here to day in the Caracas papers up to No vember 1. The prevailing sentiment is for immediate war preparations, although some of the conservative journals urge moderation. The Brit ish ultimatum had not been received, but the publication of its substance aroused an outburst of patriotism. The Diario de Caracas, a semi-offi cial government organ, makes what appears to be an authorative an nouncement that the government has prepared for any emergency. It says: “In case an emergency arises,and the government ot Venezuela is obliged to resort to arms, the English will be expelled from the disputed territory. The public may rest assured that it will be necessa% only for the govern ment to send a telegraphic dispatch to the frontier, in order to have this expulsion carried out.” El Tiempo, conservative, published a leader on “the defense of Guiriia,” in which it urges upon the government the immediate dispatching of 1,000 Venezuelan troops to the frontier, in order to be ready at any time to take possession of the territory, and hold it, if the English make any move for ward. A tabulated statement is made of the military force requisite. This includes the general-in-chief, two ad jutants, two surgeons, two assistant surgeons, one chaplain, one interpre ter, one commissary and one secretary. With this staff equipment art: to be two battalions of troops, two first and two second chiefs of battalions, ten captains, ten lieutenants, twenty sub-lieutenants, one thousands sol diers. Estimate is made also for 3,- 000 uniforms of various grades. The cost of the ei tire expedition is f ed at $200,640. < f El Tiempo also urges the establish ment of military colonies along the frontier. These would draw Venezue lans and would provide a force avail able to resist English encroachments. It adds: “Tin-defense against England is a national obligation. The reports from London snow that England pro poses to use force. Venezuela has done much toward getting ready, hut she has not yet done enough.” A strong appeal to patriot ic. sentiment is made. It is pointed out that the Argentine Republic won a war against Great Britain, and that Mexico won against a combination of France, England and >Spain. The paper asserts that a people w ho aban don their rights should perish from the earth. El Pregenero says that the public can be assured that an army of 100,000 men will lie organized, with resources for an extensive campaign. Vene zuela is assured, it says, of the moral suport of the United States and all the South American continent. Gen. Crespo is a military ruler, of undaunt ed courage. El Pregenero adds: “Let the national flag of Venzuela be raised on high as the guardian of the honor, glory and integrity of the country.” It is pointed out that there need be no fear of a war with England, as it will result in an a-lance of ail the Am erican countries, from the Arctic re gion to Cape Horn. This unification of the Americas, says El Pregenero, is the great question of the Twentieth century and it will be accomplished. The patriotic sentiment abounding is shown by a national poem by Carlos Blunch Veloz, sounding the defense against England. A WIFE MURDERER HANGED. His Words at His WHe’s Burial Lrd to His Conviction. Little Kick, Ark , Nov. 9.—William Newman, a white roan, aud odcc a prominent farmer, was hanged at Clin ton, Van Buren county, for the murder of his wife on August 18, last.

PRICE FIVE CENTS BRITAIN PREPARING FOR W A It. Its Vied i terra it can Fleet Is Being Strongly Reinforc'd. LONDON, Nov, 9.— r l'he political outlook in the east became morecrit ical and complicated during the lat ter part of the week. The Sultan seems to be defying the powers in be stowing decorations for “good ser vice” upon the Turkish officials who are held responsible for the recent outrages in Armenia. The British Mediterranean fleet near the Dardi nelles is being strongly reinforced. Italian warships are said to he ready to assist those of Great Britain in an emergency, and the division of the French fleet which cruises in the Le vant in winter will start for those wa ters immediately, a month earlier than usual. It is not astonishing under the cir cumstances that the stock market closed very flat to-day, that the con tinental bourses were in a panicky condition, and that there was a gen eral decline in foreign funds. Every indication points to the fact that the affairs of Turkey are ap proaching a crisis and it, is signifi cant that only two solutions of the difficulty are discussed by the Euro pean press —the entire dismember ment of Turkey or the deposition of the Sultan. The powers are now showing that they will no longer he hoodwinked by the Sultan’s promises, which are nev er intended to be kept. The final stage of the diplomatic pressure was reached when Germany, Austria and Italy, which had hitherto stood aloof joined tlie other powers in a menacing note which has just been presented to the Sultan. The next step will undoubtedly be a con ference of the representatives of the great powers which will discuss not merely the administration of Armen ia, but the fate of Turkish Empire. I be powers are in complete unison, and this fact is grasped everywhere, except at the Yildiz Kiosk, for the Sultan in appointing the Halil Rifat cabinet, composed of puppets and re actionists, is simply courting ruin. SPLIT ON THEM! VEK QUESTION D mocratic Harmony lla* Goie to Pieces in Alabama. CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 9.—A special from Birmingham, Ala., says Demo cratic harmony in Alabama went in to pieces when Governor Oates an nounced his willingness to again iead sound-money Democrats in the State campaign, and Senators Morgan and Pugh, Congressman Bankhead and other silver Democrats, us the result of a conference held here yesterday, decided to make a hot silver cam paign inside the party. flic conference agreed with Senator Morgans suggestion that each county Democratic authority fix the qualifi cation of voters in primaries at a dec laration to support the nominee. The State Committee,therefore,has denied admission to primaries of all who failed to support the nominee iu the previous election. The Morgan plan lets in Populists who will help nominate a silver Dem ocrat for Governor. Congressman Un derwood and his followers were for party harmony and temporary relega tion of silver to the rear, but were out-voted. Senators Morgan and Pugh will stump the State for silver, beginning at Tuscaloosa to-day. It is practically conceded they will sup port Joseph F. Johnson, of Birming ham, who was defeated by Oates in 1894. INSURGENTS GAINING GROUND. Financial Aid F xaefed from Landed Proprietors. MADRID, Nov. 9.—A dispatch to the Ileraldo from Havana says that the insurgent leader, Maximo Gomez, has sent a circular to all the insurgent leaders, directing them to destroy uli the property of persons who do not contribute to the insurgent’s fund. Maceo is also said to be enacting enormous sums from the landed pro prietors of Cuba under threat of de stroying their property. The insurgents are said to have dis appeared from the province of Ha vana, but it is admitted that the re bellion is gaining ground in Matanzas. Hoiire< hi* stirroiiiK'int; Gen. Campos* HAVANA, Nov. 9. It is now admit ted even in official circles that the in surgents have recently made such pro gress in the different Provinces they are operating in and that they have received such a quantity of arms, am munition and dynamite, that affairs may be said to be reaching a crisis. There is no doubt that the headquar ters of Capt. Gen. Martinez de Cam pos, the city of Santa Clara, capitol of the Province of that name, is being slowly but surely infested by the in surgents. They are advancing from all sides, but mainly from the Pro vince of Puerto Principe. As cabled to the Associated Press a few days ago Gen. Maximo Gomez, the insurgent commander-in-ehief, had crossed the borders with a considerable body of men and is now encamped near Siguamea. An Anti-I.yn' hing Law Passed. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 9.— The princi pal action taken by the Convention to day was the passage of an anti lynching provision If provides that if any pris oner in charge of a sheriff or other State and county or municipal officer is seized and fak*n from such officer through his negligence, permission or connivance and suffers bodily harm or death, such officer shall be removed from cAlice aud shall be ineligible to hold another if upon trial he is convicted.
