I THE NEWS IN RALEIGH. rite-hard aud Mott Populists C. Smith's Motive. Say- K. Raleigh. N. C, Feb. 27. Thomas R. ernigan, so well remembered as a news- iper man in this State, but more specially for his excellent services as onsul-general at Sbangbai, China, has been paid the marked compliment of an lection as one of the three judges of,the iurt of counsels there. Senator Pritcbard tells Dr. Mott that e t -ars that it tusion on the donbte- eaded electoral ticket is not kept up the county officers will not be re-elected. Populists here are now saying that hev "will get some of the Democrats in he wreck." Thev have set their hearts the collapse or smash of the Demo cratic party. One ot the most prominent rae in the Piedmont siction and a Democrat of nfluence said today: "I believe the tiveof Ed. ChambersSmith and other Democrats in going to Washington last week was an honest one to restore white government in the State." There is a desperate struggle in prog ress between the Holton and Dockerv and the Pritcbard and Russell factions ot he Republican party and its S'ate com mittee, lwj vears ago H. L,. Grant, a member of that committee, overrode hairman Eaves. The plan now is to crush Holton in the same way. James H. oung, colored, of Raleigh, a de voted Russell man, has always claimed that Holton was not in line with the c immittee and that be would be crushed because he did not favor complete fusion. The Russell people want another man as chairman, and will do their best to el bow Holton out, if they can. E l. Chambers Smith savs today that the country people are full of the idea of all the free silver people getting to gether. ALMOST A NEW MAN. Dr. E. Balrd, Wonderfully Improved, Returns From New York.

Dr. Baird was able to come uo town this morning, and was greeted with manv expressions ot pleasure from his friends. His recovery has been wonder ful. Even the Doctor himself doubted the outcome of the trying operation. BELONGED TO TIIE LORD.

HIED STATES MUST BIGHTS OF CUBAN INSURGENTS DISCUSSED. Probable That the Belligerency of the Patriots Will be Recognized bv Con gress A Recommendation to the President Looking to Cuba's Inde pendence. Washington. Feb. 28. In the Honse yesterday Hitt from the committee on foreign affairs, reported a series ot con current resolutions as a substitute for several propositions referred to the com mittee on the subject of the Cuban reso lution. They recite that, in the opinion of Congress, a state of public war exists in Cuba, the parties to which are entitled to recognition as belligerents and be tween which the United States should maintain an attitude of neutrality; that Congress deplores the destruction of property in Cuba consequent upon the continuance of the war: that Cuba should have a government of the choice of its people: that it is the sense of Cou- gret s that the government of the United States should use its good offices and friendly influence to bring this about; that because ot the close proximity ol Cuba, the war entails such loss upon American interests as to demand pro tection of them; that this government should intervene if necessary; and pledg ing the support of Congress to the Presi dent in carrying out these resolutions, The reading ot the resolution was liber ally punctuated with applause. An effort was made or Meredith (Vir ginia) to secure unanimous considera tion and the passage of the resolutions but McCall ( Massachusetts) obi cted and Hitt stated that he was instructed to ask their consideration at the earliest possible moment. The meeting of the Senate committee on foreign relations this morning resuled in action ol a more vigorous character than the most ardent friend of the cause of Cuba was jnstitied in expecting. It was agreed that, when the question reached the voting state, Sherman, for the comrattee, was to recommend and urge the passage of vbe following: "Resolved, by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that, in the opinion of Congress, a c oidiiion o public war exists besween the govern menc of Spain and the government pro claimed and tor some time maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba and that the United states ot Atiiticb hould maintain a strict neutrality be tween the contending powers, according to each all the rights ot b Hig rents n the ports and territory of the United States." Cameron will then move an amend ment bv adding the ttxtol his resolution as follows: "Be it lurtber resolved, thai the President is hereby requested to in terposc bis friendly offices with the Soan- ish government for recognition of the in oependence ot Cuba." . This amendment will be accep'ed by Sherman and the two together will tortn a resolution that looks not only to a recognition of the belligerency, but of the ndependen"e of the island, which would be ol infinitely mure value to the insur rectionists. The resolution will be left as a concurrent one. instead of b?ing changed to a joint resolution. The com mittee believe that the Presidept will not ignore the wish of Congress as ex pressed in a concu-rent resolution, but will give the matter bis most careful and grave consideration. Had the reso lutian been made joint in its character, action bv the President would have been necessary within 10 days, and the com mittee believed it wise not to thus han dicap the executive by limiting the time within which be may see fit to act. In the Senate today, on motion of Mr. Saerman, the business of the morning hour was dispensed with, and the reso lution for the recognition of Cuban bel ligerency on w hicha vote is to be taken at -t p. m was taken up. Sherman, speaking to the resolutions, said his convictions were made stronger every day that the condition of eff iirs in v. una was such that the intervention ot the United States must be given, sooner or later, to put an end to crimes almost beyond description. ALMOST A BAD FIRE. Little Hllllard Campbell was Imitating His Father Lighting a Cigar. The residence of John M.Campbell was the scene of what came near being a dis astrous fire Wednesday. While Mrs. Campbell was at the piano in the purlor. Hilliard Campbell, f ur years old, and bis sister. Emily, were at play in another room, tt is supposed that the little fellow was giving an imitation ot his father I ghting a cigar, for he rolled up a piece of paper and, procuring a match, ret fire to the paper. It burned his fingers and he threw it on the floor. The blaze was commu nicated to the carpet, then to the cur tain and the shade, and was rapidly eating into the woodwork ot the win dow when Mrs Campbell, called by the cries of the children, ran to the room and by several minutes of hard work extin guished the flam's. 1 ARMENIANS KILLED.
