2 ALL THREE OF THE PROTOCOLS SIGHED Immediate Raising of the Blockade Follows. BOWEN CABLES TO CASTRO The Question of Preferential Treatment for the Allies Now G jes to the Tribunal of the Hagu'. —Provisions of the Agreements. (By the Associated Press.) Washington. Feb. 13.—Herbert W. Bowen, Venezuela’s representative in the peace negotiations at Washington, to night signed with each of tin- allies’ rep resentatives here a protocol providing for the immediate raising of the Vene zuelan blockade and for the reference of the qustion of preferential treatment of the claims of the allies against Venezuela to The Hague arbitration tribunal. The final formalities were effected at the Brit ish Embassy. At 11:20 o’clock tonight Mr- Herbert Peering. First Secretary of the British Embassy, announced to The Associated Press that the British proto col had just been signed and that signa ture of the Italian and German protocols would follow in the order named. The llaliun protocol was signed at 11:50 and the German protocol at 12:10 o’clock, the presence of Baron Sternburg at the White House inusicale delaying a final close to the negotiations until after midnight. Mr. Bowen signed a duplicate for Ven ezuela, Sir Mirhael Herbert for Great Britain, Signor Mayor Des Planches for Italy and Baron Speck Von Sternburg for Germany. Immediately on the sign ng of the last protocol cables were dis patched to London, Berlin and Rome an nouncing the fact. It is expected that the commanders of the blockading fleet within the next twenty-four hours will receive their orders to withdraw their vessels at once. By the provisions of these preliminary irotoeols, which have required more huu three weeks of constant negotia tions, Venezuela makes two distinct gains, the immediate raising of a block ade from which she has been suffering A>r some weeks and the return of all her vessels, war and merchant, which have ieen captured by the allied fleet. Great Britain, Germany and Italy re ceive advance payments of five thousand rive hundred pounds each. Great Britain receiving her payment on the signature of the protocol and Germany and Italy within thirty or sixty days from date, in addition,' will receive five monthly in stallments until the full amount paid her n advance aggregates $340,000. As a guaranty for the satisfaction of their claims Mr. Bowen pledges the allies a share with the other creditor nations in thirty per cent of the customs receipts of the two ports or La Guaira and Porto • ’abelio. This percentage will be set aside beginning March 1 and retained in the Venezuelan treasury until The Hague Tribunal decides whether it shall be dis tributed without preference among all the claimant nations, or whether the allied t powers of Great Britain. Germany and Italy shall receive preferential payments. Italy by her protocol gains immediate payment of her first class of claims with out further adjudication, as soon as the joint commission at Caracas shall have passed on the remainder of her claims. In round numbers the adjudicated Italian claims amount to $560,000. from which will be subtracted the $27,000 to be paid her sixty days from the signature of her first protocol. Mr Bowen has dispatched a brief cal legram to President Castro, informing him of the 3iernacure of the protocols pro dding for the immediate raising of the blockade. A FALSK C3AB9K, BATS SETS.

New York, Keb. 12.—R. G. Dunn & Co’s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: “Disproportion between supply and de mand is still a factor of strength in many commodities, while similar conditions ex its as to skilled labor, retarding much work and in some cases postponing im portant undertakings and improvements. Wages have been advanced voluntarily and also in response to demands by or ganized labor- Relief to traffic conges tion is still confined to a few favored districts, and shippers cannot hope for prompt deliveries until lake navigation opens- Earnings continue to show splen did gains over former years, January re turns thus far exceeding 1902 by 9.4 per cent and 1901 by 18.7 per cent. Orders for spring shipments are heavy in all staple lines, and the advance business for fall is unusually large, testifying to the confidence of ouyers in continued prosperity. “Sound conditions continue to prevail in the iron and steel industry with few developments of note. The demand for j railway equipment shows no diminution and another foreign order for steel rails could not be accepted because deliveries were required in May. "Cotton has taken the leading position of great staples, both as to extent of ad vance and volume of speculative transac tions. Visible supplies are lower than at the corresponding date in any year of the past decade, and it is an uunusual clay when exports do not exceed receipts. Foreign spinners are busy, domestic mills consume freely while there is business in sight for much more cotton goods than present 3tocks of raw material at the mills will make. Several grades of cotton goods have advanced in price which, with gains in other divisions of the market during preceding weeks, makes the level of quotations much higher.- A large at tendance of buyers is reported, stimulat ing activity with jobbers and at first hands. Cash sales are restricted by low supplies. Domestic consumption supplies most of the business as export inquiries are light “ Failures for this week numbered 230 against 240 last year ” FOR THE UNIVERSITY. Robinson’s Bill Calls for Thirty-five Thousand Dollars. Yesterday morning Representative Roberson, of Guilford, introduced a bill appropriating $35,000 to the University of North Carolina. The* hill provides that the sum of twen ty-five thousand dollars is hereby ap propriated, out of monies coming into the Treasury of the State, to the board of trustees of the University of North Carolina, for the erection of a chemical laboratory; that a further sum of five thousand dollars is appropriated lor the rroper furnishing of the Department of Physics: that a further sum of five thou sand dollars is appropriated to provide a subsidiary engine for the water-works, to pay legal damages to owners of water rights, to refit the old Chemical Labora tory for the Biological Department and to repay interest paid by the University upon such part of the annual appropria tion from the State as it was found nec essary to borrow. The University gives the following rea sons why more money is needed: “A Chemical Laboratory is needed be cause tha present laboratory provides sufficient space tor less than two hun dred students and 367 are trying to work in it this year. A new building for the Chemical Department will allow the Bio logical Department, also over-crowded, to move into the old chemical building, and the present quarters of the Biological Department can be used for the medical students. Seventy-five medical students are now trying to work in a laboratory intended for forty. Thus one new build ing makes room for three departments. “The Alumni Building has been given to the University by the alumni- For lack of means we have been unable to install all of the apparatus for the labo ratories of the Department of Physics and to purchase the proper equipment. As the building has been provided, the State should equip this, one of the most useful departments in the University. “There is only one engine at the pump ing station. Should this break down the University might be for a week or more without water, stopping the heating plant, electric lights, and causing great risk from fire. A subsidiary engine should '0 immediately provided. “Tln re are legal damages amounting 1.000 against the University for dam to owners for water rights.

THE OPEN SESSIONS END The Secret Sessions Will Begin in Washington Next Thursday-esA Decision is Ex pected by (he End of the Month. (By the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Feb. 13.—The anthracite CoOl Strike Commission, after being In session for more than three months closed Its open hearings today with an all-day argument by Clarence S. Harrow in behalf of the miners. The commission will meet in secret in Washington next Thursday and begin the consideration of its awards. It is ex- . pected that by the endo f this month the arbitrators will be ready to make their announcement. If an increase in wages is determined upon the increase is to date from the first of last Novemboi. the commission having decided upon that date on October 31. After the session today the commis sion held a short conference with the lawyers for the several sides, and asked them to hold themselves in readiness ir. case they art* ealledyupon by the com mission- The crowd that heard Mr. Darrow speak today was fully as great as that which listened to Mr. Baer and Mr. Dar row yesterday. He took up the entire time of both sessions—five and one-half hours. He touched upon almost every phase of the strike and when he closed he was greeted with long applause, which Chairman Gray did not suppress. President Mitchell was in court all day but did not have anything to say to tin* commission in parting. Mr. Darrow first discussed the cause of the strike. The responsibility for the coal famine, he said, rested with those who were responsible for the strike. If the men struck without just reason then they were responsible, but if the men ; were right and the operators not broad ' minded enough to see the justness of I their claims then the latter were r**- | sponsible for the trouble. He believed I the strike was due to the “blind, auto - i cratic, stupid spirit of the operators. They believed the issue was who should !be the master—the operator or the mem I say neither should be the master of the other.” Taking up Mr. Baer’s sliding scale proposition made yesterday. Mr. Darrow ! said that if Mr. Baer believed ho made a nice, fair proposition, he proposed to show that it was not. With the assist ance of the miners expert statistician, \ Mr. Darrow said the one per cent raise !on five cents suggested by Mr. Boer would give the operators an increase of 3% per cent in profits and the miners only lMt pot* cent on the $4.50 basis. Mr. narrow’s remarks on the proposition ‘plainly indicated that the miners flatly . rejected the proposition. Mr. Darrow -said the fact that the op erators called the men “criminals, cut | throats and assassins,” was enough to exasperate them, and Chairman Gray interrupted to say that “the commission does not believe the mine workers are criminals, cut throats and assassins.” Mr. Darrow then took up the thirteen viction-s on the Markles’ property, and with language that was extremely strong, he pictured the eviction of a sick wife and of a blind woman 100 years of age. l “You may roll together all the cruelty and violence committed in the anthracite region,” he exclaimed, “and you cannot j equal the fiendish cruelty of John Markle, j when he turned these helpless people 'into the streets simply to satisfy his j hellish hate.” j Brigadier General Gobin, who com- I mantled one brigade of the State troops in the field during the strike, came in for severe* criticism from the miners counsel. He* read various reports made to General Gobin by his regimental com manders, and severely condemned the general’s now famous “shoot to kill ( order.” Turning to the boycott, Mr. Darrow said there was one illustrious example. !at least, in the United States of the (boycott, and that was in the American j Revolution. Regarding the demand for eight hours a day, Mr. Darrow said: “This is not a demand to shirk work, l as is often claimed to be the case. It is a. demand for the right of the individual to have a better life, a fuller life, a co;n --1 pleter life; and this, like everything else, depends upon your point of view. There is only one standpoint from which you , have the right to approach this question, i and that is what w ill make the best men and the best American citizen to build up a nation and there will be no more i strikes and no more violence.” Hester’s Cotton Statement. (By the Associated Press.) New Orleans, Feb. 13.—Secretary Hes ter's statement of the world’s visible supply of cotton, issued today, shows , the total visible to be 4,038,699, against ! 4,022.263 last week and 4.454,168 last year.

His head was severed com pletely from his body, and bis limbs were cut off and his body was crushed to a jelly. His remains were picked up and placed in a coffin and shipped to his home in Greensboro yesterday afternoon. He was about 40 years of age. Organizing the Tobacco Farmers. Editor Progressive Farmer: Enclosed please find ''*•* J- H- Hutch ing’s views on farmers organizing against the tobacco trust. If you see fit you can publish in The Progressive Farmer. W. B. UPCHURCH. Wake Co.. N. C. Morrisville, N. C., Jan. 10, 1903. Capt. J. It. Hutchings, Danville, Va. My Dear Sir:—l suppose you see from the newspapers that there is an being made to organize the farmers- Knowing your long evperience as a ware houseman and having patronized you a great deal in the past, I feel that 1 may ask your views on the subject. There seems so far not any plan suggested and nothing tangible to start on except to preach organization. Do you think or ganization could accomplish anything unless it developed some plan by which the planters’ tobacco could be controlled and sold through one organization? I realize that time is short, and if you do not object I would be glad to have your general view of the situation for publi cation. Your farmer friend. W. B. UPCHURCH. CAPT. HUTCHING’S ANSWER. Danville, Va., Jan. 14, 1903. Mr. Wm. B. Upchurch, Morrisville, N. C-: My Dear Sir: —Your recent favor re ceived and carefully noted. I was glad to hear from you and to see that you are still interested in matters pertaining to your great fraternity, namely, the farmers of this country. Yes, sir. I have been reading of the proceedings re cently going on to organize the farmers. Os course having been fed by their pat ronage for 26 years in the warehouse business, would naturally make me feel an interest in such matters, especially if I could see where 1 might return some compensation for a liberal patronage be stowed on me. 1 do not see as yet where I could do any good: as at present it is as you say: they seem groping in the dark to catch on to something to pull them out of the wilderness, without any thing definite to act upon. This might be considered a dangerous subject for a warehouseman to handle, as by some narrow-minded men, every effort at organization on the part of the farmers is viewed as a fight against the so-called tobacco trust. A warehouse man stands between the farmer and all buyers, both independents and trust, and in giving my views, I feel that I can handle the subject without prejudice, and in a manner just to both sides. So it is with a feeling of this kind that I submit you a few ideas along the line requested. I stand on organization just where I stood three years ago when the farmers attempted to organize—advocating or ganization as a good thing for the farm ers and the only medium through which permanent relief may he assured; on the other hand, insisting that in any and all steps taken in the direction of organiza tion, there should not be any attempt or threats or any intimations of any dis crimination against any buyer whatso ever, independent or trust. There should be no attempt in the least towards boy cotting any firm or brands of tobacco of either independents or trust, but feed all out of the same spoon, treating all alike, raising the impartial banner: “Justice to All,’’ and the aims of the organization solely for the benefit of the farmer. The organization should have for its object to control the output of crops, and to control and sell through a com pact organization all the farmers’ tobac co in certain parts of irginia. North Carolina and South Carolina and Ten nessee. I do not think that an organiza tion could do any possible good unless it (lid control the output of tobacco and the selling of the same. 1 do think that a plan through which to sell could be established. I have given it some study and see no good reason why it could not be done without prejudice to the trade. Os course, the farmer would want a profit on his labor. Prices of the last crop could easily establish that- The manufacturers of the country on seeing an organization facing them, I am sure, , would not object to paying living prices 1 and would simply add three to five cents advance on to the consumer, and would j doubtless be glad to see the farmer in ! shape to control the output of the crop and also demand a moderate profit on his labor. I know all fair-minded men would not object to it in the least, j The section proposed to organize is not too large. The Alliance and Grange both took in too much scope and too much politics. If you undertake to run politics into your organization, it will be “bust- I ed“ to go with. I I think if there ever was a time on earth that had come for any purpose, that time has very largely arrived for the organization of the tobacco farmer. The harvest is ripe right now. The farm ers of the West are now organizing very i fast. The Fruit Growers’ Association has been a great success. The cotton people in many places are organizing. The whole country is organizing on everything, and yhy not the tobacco farmer? Labor all over the world Is being or ganized. why not the farmer? 1 think in a short time I could figure out the plan of an organization that could be worked all right and give satis faction to farmers, dealers, and manufac turers. but haven't room for its consid eration in this letter, and shall be con tent at present to suggest action, push and energy towards organization and to l)id you and all co-workers good-speed in your work, and that it may be crown ed with success. JNO. R. HUTCHINGS. OLDEST LIVING RESIDENT, Mr. TP ns C- Upchurch. Celebrates His 90th Birthday Today-Sketch of His Life. Mr. William C. Upchurch will today celebrate his 90th birthday. The celebra tion of one's birthday, which is an every day occurrence is not of especial to any one in particular, hut this biith day of Mr. W. C. Upchurch is one of in terest. to Raleigh's citizens for today he lias resided in Raleigh longer than an. living man, and he alone can tell of what Raleigh was in the year of 1833. Mr. Upchurch was horn in this county on February 14th, 1813, and came to Raleigh in 1833, Whore he has been ever since. He went into the mercantile business on Hargett street and never moved, and for sixtv-eight years until he retired two years ago. 88 years old, he dealt out goods to customers. He lives today in the same house he went into when he first came here, seventy years ago, and there he has lived ever since without a change. A News and Observer reporter called upon Mr. Upchurch at his home on Wil mington street yesterday afternoon, and ascertained many things of interest to Raleigh people. Mr. Upchurch said he was not shy of newspaper men for he liked to read the news, and he knew that other people did. Tell me something of Raleigh when you reached here seventy years ago? the reporter asked him. With a clear and distinct voice for a man of his years, he commenced by say ing: When I arrived here there was only five brick or stone buildings in the city, and only three of them now re main. The house in which Dr. M. M. Marshall lives, the Presbyterian church, and Dr. Haywood’s house, opposite the new ITesbyterian church. The capital had just begun to be built, and I saw tlu* first stones laid for the foundation, and watched its construction from day to day until it was finished. You were not in the war, were you, Mr. Upchurch? No. I was to old for that and left that for the younger generation. How are you going to celebrate your birthday? was asked him. Tomorrow morning I 3hall arise early as usual and probably may make a visit to my children in this city, but I have so many it would require a great deal of walking. They generally always come to see me though, and 1 may not go out but remain around the old home I love so well and greet them one by one as. they come. Mr. Upchurch says there is only one man living in Raleigh today who was here when ho arrived and that is Dr. Hogg, and he was a small boy then. is possessed of a most remarkable .mem ory, and save for a slight defect in hear ing. his faculties are good. Ho is a great lover of reading the newspapers, and every morning lie waits on his front porch for the carrier to come. He has no need for .glasses in the day time, but uses them at night. He has reared r, large family of children, most of whom are living in this city and are among cur very best citizens. Mr. Upcurch never married hut once, and his wife died about four years ago. He was the father of ten children and he now has forty-two grand-children and thirty-five great grand children living. There Is no inducement which can bo offered to Him to get him to leave his old heme. The hopes of the citizens of Raleigh are that his life may still be prolonged and that he may live many years to interest the younger generation in Ral eigh’s history, seventy years ago.
