Greenville, N. C., Oct. 9.—(Special.)
Information reached here Sunday loom
ing that the Atlantic Coast Line depot
at Paetolus, in this county, had been
robbed and burned. Later in the day
it was learned that the building was not
destroyed, though the office room had
been burly damaged on the inside.
The fire was discovered about day
break in time to prevent it spreading
into the freight room. Desks and draw
ers in the office were broken open,
which indicates robbery before the fire.
It is reported that SI,BOO in money,
several express packages and a quan
tity of revenue stamps are missing.
Paetolus is a small village about
twelve miles from Greenville and is on
the branch of the Atlantic Coast lane
between l'armele and Washington. The
station is about half a mile from the
town. The depot at the same place
was destroyed a few years ago by
lightning striking it.
MKIM/EY LAYS CORNERSTONE.
The Magnificent New Federal Building
Chicago.
Chicago, 111., Oct 9.—Surrounded by
men who guide the dplomatie relations
of three Govemnwnts, and in the pre
sence of thousands of spectators Presi
dent McKinley today formally la ! id the
corner stone of the magnificent new
Federal building of Chicago. In the an
gle formed 'by the south and west wings
of the Federal building at .Jackson
Boulevard and Dearborn streets, and in
front of the Union league Club a re
viewing stand had been erected for the
accommodation of the distinguished vis
itors, including Vice-President Mari.seal
and party of Mexico: Premier Laivrkv,
of Canada, and other notables of that
country; members of President MeKiiir
ley’s Cabinet land the diplomatic can*
at Washington; Senators, Congressmen
and other invited guests, and when Pres
ident McKinley threw the first trowel
fill of -mortar under the uplifted block
of limestone and prvaiounteed tin- cor
nerstone set, one of the most not. aMe
gatherings ever in Chicago looked on.
The President received a hearty ova
tion as he drove to the stand. Judge
Christian C. Kohlsaat, chairman of the.
•Committee on Cere-morales, introduced
•Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J.
Gage, as presiding officer for the cor
nerstone exercises. The Secretary was
Warmly cheered r as lie stepp'd forward.
At the conclusion of Secretary Gage’s
brief address. Rev. Frank W. Gon
saulus offered a (brief but impressive
prayer, <t‘hc* President and all the irv m
•bers of his party uncovering as Dir. Gou
saiElus asked a blessing on the ceremony.
Secretary Gage introduced Postmaster
General Smith. lie was also greeted with
much applause.
Mr. Srnith said in part:
“In 1870 the total receipts of the post
al service were $19,772,220 and its total
expenditures $23,998,837. This year we
shall expend SIor>.(KIO.(MH) and our re
ceipts Will be $951,000,000. While* Oilr
population, hot cotrutiing our new [w>s-
HessioTis has doubled, the post al bushiest*
has multiplied neatly four-fold. The
figures in other real mis te9l the sanle
fabulous story. Since 1870 the diistirile
itted wealth of the country has increased
from *27,000,000.000 ,to over $80,000,-
(XXt.OOO. This umexampled gain is wide
ly diffused.”
Mr. Smith then spoke of American in
terests in the Orient and Concluded an
follows:
“What citizen of the republic shall sc,
impugn the honor of his country ami the
integrity of her institutions ns to pro
claim before the world that her sceptre
extended over rude and remote people’s
means wrong and oppression and spolia
tion? What American shall so discredit
his own blood as to declare that the
American people will either falter in
their duty to itheir trust or fail ini the
capacity of their task? Our inspiring
past is the prophecy of our glorious fu
ture.”
Tin* actual ceremonies of the laying of
the cornerstone then began. C. E. Kre
mer. Secretary of the Federal committee
arose and formally amnionm ed that the
stone was ready and read tin l list, of
articles placed within it. I’resident Me-
ICiluley was introduced^by Secretary
Gage and as lie stepped forward to re
ceive the trowel from the hands of Ar
chitect Henry Ives Cobb, the crowds
hurst forth into cheers, the applause not
ceasing until the President raised his
haml. The President then stepped to
the side of the uplifted mass of Illinois
limestone and taking a trowelful of mor
tar from the board, he threw it on the
base of the stone. As he did so a band
stationed in the reviewing stand played
the Star Spangled Banner, and as the
motes of tin* national anthem were heard,
the crowd again broke into cheers, the
noise almost drowning the music. Presi
dent McKinley then pronounce I the
stone set and resumed his seat Whil-* the
workmen settled the stone in its place.
Senator William E. Mason was next
introduced and made a brief address on
K hali' of the city of < 'hii'eago. The ch re
monies concluded with the offering of a
benediction by Rev. Dr. Gunsauiiis.
President McKinley and party then
ft rose and were again escorti-d across the
boulevard to the 1 inion League Club,
where the President was the guest of the
Federal committee at luncheon.

SEN, J. K, JONES ON
HIS NATIVE HEATH
Silver Will have a Bigger
Vote Than in 1896,
BRYAN AND McKINLEY
THESE WILL AGAIN BE THE
CANDIDATES. *
CHAIRMAN JONES IN BETTER HEALTH
He is Ready io Undertake Preparation for the
Campaign. Prosperous Conditions
have Done Little for Farmers
and Laboring Men.
New York, October S. —United States
Senator James Iv. .Tonics, of Arkansas,
chair man of the Democratic National
Committee, and wife were passengers
on the Ctinard Line steamer Lttcania,
that reached New York today. They
have been travelling in England. Ire
land. Scotland. Switzerland, and Wales
for several months. Senator Jones said
that his health had been much improved
by his lengthy European travels, and
lie felt ready to go into the hard work,
necessary in k getting ready for the Pres
idential campaign.
Senator Jones, when asked' to give
his views on the political situation, said
that owing to his long absence abroad
lie was not ns* fully informed on politi
cal conditions as lie hoped to hi* in a few
weeks. When asked his opinion as to
tin* probability of the Democratic nomi
nation for President going to William
J. Bryan, he said:
“There is no doubt that Bryan will
receive the Democratic* nomination for
President, lias anybody any doubt on
that question? Bryan is sure to win.”
On the attitude of Richard Croker
as to the nomination of Bryan for
President, Senator .Tones had little to
say, merely replying to a direct ques
tion: “Croker is already In line.”
DOUBT REPUBLICAN SINCERITY
As to the possible outcome of the
national campaign of 15HM), Senator
Jones said lit* believed that the free
silver idea would have a greater fol
lowing than in the campaign of 181X1.
He based this assertion on the fact
that the Democratic party would receive
support in 1900 from a new source.
"In 1890,” be said. "there were
many Republicans and others who be
lieved that when the Republican party
declared for bimetallism, the declaration
was made in all sincerity. These same
men now doubt the sincerity of that
plank of the Republican platform.”
When asked what effect he thought
the apparent prosperity in the Western
States Avon Id have on Democratic issues,
Senator .Tones said:
‘‘Yes, I know they say at Washing
ton that the country is in a highly pros
perous condition, and perhaps that is
correct from certain standpoints. But
I cannot see that there’s any great mate
rial prosperity among the agricultural
and similar classes. It does not appear
to have affected the farmer, nor has it
done much as yet for the laboring man
in general. Cotton and wheat have not
made any advance to speak of in [trice.
That argument can be readily answered
when the time comes. Os course there
has been an increase in the ouput of gold
and that is bound to affect polities in
some degree, greater or less. But that
is only a proof of the argument ad
vanced by us in 189(5 that Avhat the
country needed was a greater volume
of moneyjnn circulation.
DOES NOT FEAR PROSPERITY.
When asked what effect he thought
the alleged prosperity would have on
the voter in general, he said in emphatic
tones:
“It will affect only those men who
are very narrow in their political and
social views. That \*oter it will inllu
ence, but in reality it will be an argu
ment in favor of our party.”
He said that it was his opinion that
the opposing I’residential candidates in
1900 would be Bryan and McKinley.
The Democratic platform, he declared,
would Ik? launichWi in that year on
comparatively the same basis and con
tain essentially the same planks as in
185X5. The party wouiltd declare for
free silver at tin* same ratio, and he
thought about the only addition to or
change in the party platform of any
moment would be a plank relative to
anti-imperialism. That, he asserted,
would undoubtedly be one of the impor
tant issues in the campaign. He refused
to discuss tin* matter any more than to
say, with a wave of the hand: “Every
body knows what imperialism means.
The question under discussion means
just (lie reverse.”
Senator Jones said he did not know
how long he would remain in New York.
His plans are still unformed. lie said,
however, lie might go to Washington
on Tuesday on business matters. Dur
ing the afternoon and evening several
men prominent in political life called on
Senator Jones at his hotel. Among
them was George Fred Williams, of
Massachusetts, member of tho national
committee, and it is presumed there was
a conference over political matters and
plans for the coming campaign prepara
tions.
