By the Associated Tress.)
Indianola, Miss., Jan. s.—Mrs. Minnie
Cox, the colored postmistress of this
place, on account of whose resignation
the government* ordered the postofficc
here closed, left Indianola tonight for
Birmingham, Ala., accompanied by her
mulatto assistant. It is now thought
there is little danger of further trouble
end although the sentiment of the people
is against the action of the government
in closing the office on account of the
consequent partial paralysis of business,
no violence is anticipated.
Before she left tonght Mrs. Cox made
a statement in which she denied that
she had been subjected to any indignities,
and stated that no violence had been
threatened her. She said, however, that
she would not again take the office of
postmaster under any circumstances.
Her husband, who is employed in the
United State* railway mail service also
made a statement in which he said that
his wife had not been threatened, but
that he had advised her to give up the
place. “There is no doubt,” he con
tinued, “that there is a general senti
ment here against a negro postmaster.”
Today a private office was established
for the distribution of mail collected by
an independent mesengor service from
Hoathman and Greenville. Both of these
postoffices are being congested with mail
as the result of the closing of this office.
The independent office here will be main
tained at the expense of citizens.
Postoffice inspectors are here checking
up the accounts of the abandoned office.
A large numbe of people publicly acowed
that they would not accept the negro wo
man as posmistress under any circum
stances, despite the inconvenience which
was being suffered.
An authorized statement from the
mayor said that Conditions were such j
that he would not advise Mrs. Cox to (
open the postoffice. The mayor further j
stated that if the situation at any time j
showed that the woman's life liberty or
property were jeopardized he would |
wear in a sufficient number of men to
afford her ample protection.
The undercurrent of excitement extends
S surrounding towns. A large number
>f strangers are here and mere are ar
riing by every train.
T’)lc SULTAN CALLS US HOGS
li.v.te* Cu. Soldiers to Visit Bim and He’ll
Stick Them.
(By the Associated Tress.)
"Washington, Jan. s.—'“Swine who eat
swine,” is the latest compliment tend
ered the American soldiers in Mindanao
by the Sultan cf Baeolod and the
Panadungr.n of that place. These two
Filipino “braves,” of the Moro tribe, have
caused the American troops no little
annoyance since the occupation, by their
guerilla warfare. Tho following is an
example of the letter received at the
War Department in the last Philippine
mail. It was sent to the American offi
cers in Mindanao, bearing the imprim
atur cf the L'ultan and the Panadungan
of Baeolod:
“We want war if you do not get out
of here and go back to the sea, because
neither the Sultan of Baeolod nor the
Panadungan wants to he your friend.
Within this month we want the war to
begin, and if you do not want it you are
a lot of cowardly rascals.
“Follow our Mohammedan religion.
“Do not look for the Mausers, for we
have them. They were captured by
Bantuas and Buarsing, people of the
Sultan of Baeolod.
“We send our regards to the four gen
erals and their vermin. If you do not
want to go from here, come to this place
and the Sultan and Panadungan will take
care of you, for you are a lot of hogs
that eat hogs, and in not presenting
yourselves at Baeolod look out, for we
shall go to fight you.” '
The advices show that neighbors of the
Baeolod chief are quite friendly to the
Americans, the Sultan of Uate having
fiecenUy visited Camp Vicars.

(By the Associated Press.)
San Diego, Cal., Jan. s.—Mrs. Tingley
was recalled to the stand when the trial
of her action against the Los Angeles
Times was resumed today, Samuel M.
Shortridge, of defendant’s counsel, con
tinuing the cross-examination.
“In the reading of esays by the stu
dents,” asked Mr. Shortridge- “were you
not referred to as a teacher and com
pared with Confucius, Buddha and Mo
■^Jiamnted?”
I never heard of such a thing,”
Mrs. Tingley.
°i you not heard yourself com-
Ky students to Jesus Christ?”
sir.”
cross-examination turned to
waves, Mrs. Tingley stating that
'tiding of thought waves was not

nuence others. ‘‘lf I had a pure
,” she said, byway of explana
nfight influence you.”
“If you had, Madame," retorted the
lawyer, “youfcfeht.”
Mrs. asked if she accepted
the doctrine of Mme. Blavatsky and Wm.
Q. Judd. She said she did. Asked if she
was a Theosophist, she replied: “I am
trying to be,” adding, “Theosophy
teaches us to be pure, unselfish and
good—l am tr.ving to be all of thad '
Returning to the pot lion of defendant's
deposition that had reference to her life
in New York, Mrs. Tingley said she had
bitterly opposed hypnotism, but she had [
accepted spiritualism to a certain extent, j
“Did you ever tell Mr. Fitch (a defend- i
ant deponent) that his wife had not ad
vanced far enough to bo his companion?” j
continued Mr. Shortridge.
“No, sir. absolutelly not.’’
“Did you discuss with him the secret
of happy marriage?”
“I told him that our people on Point
Lorca were happy because they were |
living the right life. They were oner- j
getic and unselfish, while he was indo- i
lent and absorbed in himself.”
“Are the grounds around Point Loma I
known as ‘sacred grounds?’ ” asked Mr. I
Shortridge.
“Only in the sense that they are 1
dedicated to humanity,” said Mrs- Ting- |
ley. “We feel toward them, 1 suppose as ;
Christians feel toward their churches.”
“Was the order of scribes devoted to |
the study of occultism and mysticism?”
“No, sir.”
Mrs. Tingley gave a brief description
of "Greek symposiums” and plays that i
took place in the open air at Point Loma i
and at the Isis theatre at San Diego, say- j
ing that these consisted largely of quota
tions, on,-, of these quotations being from ;
Jesus Christ.
“Did you quote, from Buddhism,”
asked Mr. Shortridge.
“I cannot say positively, but if there
was anything beautiful in the words of
Buddha I have no doubt we quoted him.”
“Did you quote Mme. Blavatsky and
Wm. Q. Judd?”
“I think so ”
“Colonel Olcott?”
“No, sir; we do not accept his teach
ings. and of course we did not quote
him.”

(By the Associated Press.)
Philadelphia, Jan. s.—The Anthracite I
Coal Strike Commission will, resume its '
hearings in this city at 11 o’clock tomor
row morning. The sessions will lx held
in the United States Circuit Court room
in the Federal building. All of the com
missioners, the assistant recorders and
other attaches of the commission are now |
here and are quartered at the Continental
Hotel, which will be the headquarters of j
the commission while in Philadelphia.
President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine-Workers’ Union, accompanied Clar
ence S. Harrow, of Chicago, his leading
counsel and other assistants, arrived to
night and are also located at the Conti
nental j
When the hearings were adjourned at
Scranton for the holidays, the attorneys
for the non-union men were engaged
in preseting evidence, through those men,
of violence, boycotting and intimidation,
alleged to have been carried on by mem
bers of the Miners’ Union who were on
strike. A large number of witnesses has ;
already been heard on this feature of the
strike, and the lawyers have still a large
number to be called. They will continue
to bring—those witnesses before the com
mission tomorrow. Several days will be
consumed in hearing them alter which
the largo coal companies will present
their case.
TO ENFORCE THE BLOCKADE.
Pending Signature of the Arbitration Protocol 1
Venezuela Will be Shut In.
(By the Associated Press.)
Berlin, Jan.- s.—Groat Britain and Ger
many came to an understanding four
days ago to enforce the blockade of the
Venezuelan coast. It was doubtless in
consequence of this understanding that
vessels at Porto Cabcllo were taken.
Commodore Scheder telegraphs that tho
Germans on Saturday seized fifteen
large Venezuelan sailing vessels at Porto
Cabello. The prizes were towed by the
warships Stcsch and Restaurador to IjOs
Roques, where they remain under guard.
Otherwise there have been no develop
ments at Porto Cabello.
The official view here is that the
blockading commanders acted quite in
accordance with their instructions. The
allied governments’ determination ap
pears to be- that, pending the signature
of tlie arbitration protocol, the blockade
within the limits agreed upon shall be
shari ly applied, hence, unless the pre
liminaries for arbitration are arranged
immediately, action similar to that
adopted at Porto Cabcllo will naturally
be taken at other ports. By making the
blockade felt, it is claimed, President
Castro’s decisions will probably be hast- j
ened.
The Gorman cruiser Schroer sailed to
day from Kiel for Venezuela.

Rapid Rise of This Man of
Broad Mental Grasp-
The Seabjaro’s New Florida Limited Train
Ccmpcs d of Cars Which Borj Prince Henry
Over This Continent.
Mr. A. W. Towsley, the newly appointed
superintendent of the Second Division of
the Seaboard Air Line, arrived in Ral
eigh Sunday and on yesterday assumed
charge of the office vacated by the pro
motion of Major F. K. Huger to the gen
eral superintendency of the system.
Speaking of the future, Mr. Towsley said
last night to a representative of the News
and Observer, that he had no intention of
making any changes in the personnel of
this division, that work would continue
in a thoroughly business-like manner
and that it is his hope that all may pro
ceed smoothly. Mr. Towsley stated that
it is the desire of the management to do
a great amount of work at the shops in
this city, but that no material increase
will be made in the force at this time.
The new superintendent of this division
of tho Seaboard is one of the best in
formed railroad men in the South. He is
a native of Wisconsin, began railroading
in his native State, rose rapidly and con
tinued step by step up the ladder until
after service with the Great Northern, the
Norfolk and Western and other systems
ho became superintendent of transporta
tion of the Santa Fc System.
When with the Santa Fe, Mr. Towsley
was assistant to First Vice-President and
General Manager Barr, who was at that
time vice-president of the Santa Fe.
Later, when Mr. Barr took charge of the
management of the Seaboard Mr. Towsley
came South to accept the position of as
sistant to the General Manager of the
Seaboard. In that capacity he has re
mained in Portsmouth since May, 1901,
resigning that position to come to Ral
eigh. It is thought that no man stands
higher in the estimation of Mr. Barr.
As a railroad man Mr. Towsley is
looked upon as one of the most thorough
going who have ever entered the Southern
field. He was known in the general of
fices in Portsmouth as requiring the best
that, each employe had to give in the
performance of duty, and individually
he was known to he the hardest worker
in the service of the system. Personally
he is broad-minded, liberal and consid
erate of the men under him, and he is
universally liked by those who know him
best. Mr. Towsley is making his home for
the present at Mrs. Willie McGee’s, on
Hillsboro street. Mrs. Towsley will not
leave Norfolk until spring, when she will
join Mr. Towsley here. Mrs. Towsley,
during her life in Norfolk, has made
scores of friends and admirers and is con
sidered one of the most popular women in
Norfolk society.
Mr. Henry Page, of Aberdeen, was in
Raleigh yesterday, returning home in the
afternoon. Mr. Page’s railroad, the Aber
deen and Asheboro, which is the only line
running through the important winter
resort cf Pinehurst, will for the next
ninety days ho the scene cf the fiercest
battle of the year to be waged by North
Carolina railroad men. Tinehurst is com
petitive territory for the Seaboard Air
Line and th« Southern, and who will carry
home the fifteen hundred Northern tour
ists is tho point of dispute.
A fact which has been kept secret tip
to this time is the composition of Iho new
Florida Limited trains which the Sea
board Air Line will inaugurate on the
llfh inr-tt. It is learned upon the best
authority that these trains will be com
posed almost exclusively of the ears
which were used by Prince Henry on his
tour through the continent. It is assert
ed that no such elegant 1 trains have ever
traversed Southern soil on regular sched
ule, ard that, these will bo truly palaces
on wheels. It is stated by (he Pullman
Company that they own no finer equip
ment than is to be put into those flyers
from the North and South.
Major F. K. Huger, who has been pro
moted to the general superintendency of
tho Seaboard Air Line, left yesterday for
Portsmouth to take charge of his new
duties. In Major Huger the Seaboard
has placed in charge of the operating de
partment one of the strongest characters
in the railroad world and Raleigh regrets
that the promotion requires a change of
residence*
TAX ON ETJSUAN BUOAR
Judge Brown Decides in Favor of aCountei
vailing Duty
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, I>. C . Jan. s.—ln an opin
ion handed down by Justice Brown lo
day the United States Supreme Court
decided in the Downs case that the money
paid by the Russian government on sugar
exported is a bounty and that the col
lector of customs at. Baltimore was justi
fied in levying a countervailing duty on
Russian sugar under the terms of the
j Dingloy law.
In delivering the opinion of the court
| Justice Brown said it involved only the
question as to “whether under the laws
| and regulations of Russia a bounty is
allowed upon the report of Sugar which
subjects such sgxar upon its importa
tion into tho United States to an addi
tional duty.”
It appears that free sugar which may
be sold in Russia at the Normal excise
of 1.75-100 roubles per pood may be ex
ported under a permit from tho excise
office upon the return of a free sugar
certificate with the custom house ex
port mark, the excise then crediting the
exported quantity of sugar to the free
surplus of the mill, which is subject to
double the tax of 1.75 roubles. Discussing
this certificate Justice Brown said:
“It is practically admitted in this case
that a bounty equal to the value of
these certificates is paid by the Russian
government, and the main argument of
the petitioner is addressed to th propo
sition that this bounty is paid, not upon
exportation but upon production. Tho
answer to this is (hat every bounty upon
exportation must to a certain extent
operate as a bounty upon production, since
nothing can be exported which is not
produced and hence a bounty upon expor
tation by creating a foreign demand stim
ulates an increased production to the ex
tent of such demand. Consequently a
bounty upon production operates to a cer
tain extent as a bounty upon exporta
tion.”
LHOOTING AT FKEMONT-
Policeman Wounds Himself Seriously While
Firing at Another Man.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Goldsboro, N. C., Jan. 5. —A shooting
affair occurred at Fremont on Saturday
night in which Policeman L. B. H. John
son, of that town, shot himself while
trying to shoot Mr. W. S. Davis, a far
mer, who lives? on his plantation north
of Fremont, near tho Wilson county lino,
it seems that Davis and Johnson had
some trouble some time ago and the re
port had come to Johnson that Davis j
had made threats against Johnson. Davis j
remained away from Fremont until Sat- j
urday afternoon and that night when j
Johnson learned Davis was in town he
went over to the bar-room in which Davis
was sitting. As soon as Johnson en
tered the door he pulled out his pistol
and began firing. The first shot struck
Davis in the thigh. He jumped up and
grabbed hold of the pistol. Johnson was
still trying to shoot again. In the scuf
fle Davis succeeded in turning the muz
zle of the pistol toward Johnson, who
continued to pull tho trigger and shot
himself through the head. In order to
make certain (hat Johnson did shoot him
self the crowd searched Davis as soon
as the shooting was done but no pistol
could be found except the one which i
Johnson had in his hand. Johnson is ;
seriously wounded, and may not recover, i
Davis is also wounded but not very sc- '
riously. Davis probably saved his own
life by turning (he pistol toward his '
antagonist. He is a much larger and
stronger man than Johnson and had lit- j
tie difficulty in turning tho direction of
the nistol barrel.
Another report of the affair is that '
Johnson was shot in the back of the 1
neck, and that ho has other bruises on
his head which were not made by pistol
balls. During the excitement of the |
shooting It is thought that others took I
part in tho skirmish.
The weather was very inclement last !
night for cooing babies out on piazzas, '
but the party who left the little black- ■
haired girl baby on the piazza of Mr. Jno. j
H. Brown did not intend for the child !
to suffer and made sufficient noise to at- !
tract attention before leaving. When ,
members of the family came to the door j
to see what occasioned the noise they saw j
something lying on the floor in front of
tho door. Tho bundle was taken up and j
it was found to contain a bahy. which |
could not have been over two hours old. j
Tho child was wrapped in a piece of
plain black calico. The little stranger
was taken into the house and the good
wife of Mr. Brown took some of her own
children’s clothing and made tho little
cnc as comfortable as possible. A num
ber of people have been to pay their re
spects to the little stranger today to see
if they could discover any traces of fa
vor, but so far no one has been able
to recognize any feature that would lead J
to tho identity of the mother. Mr. Brown i
is an employe of tho Goldsboro Buggy
Company.
