Says Democratic Leaders Went Back on Their Promises. . CONVENTION SELECTS D E L E GATES TO REPRESENT THE COUNTY IN THE STATE CON VENTION AT RALEIGH. The Republican county convenftoii met today at 12:30. called a-order by Chairman I. A. Harris. R. B. Roberts put in nomination for permanent chair man Colonel Lusk. The election was unanimous. On Mr. Roberts' motion Hunter Arnold was elected secretary. The committee on credentials, on Major Rollins' motion, was dispensed with as there were no contests, and the convention took up the matter of ap pointing a committee to select delegates to the state convention. Colonel Lusk appointed the following comunittee: Leicester, V. 11. Henderson; Sandy Mush, T. J. Ferguson; Upper Hominy, Arthur Miller; Lower Hominy, James Nichols; Avery's Creek, J. R. Coch rane; Limestone. J. It. Sumner; Fair view, J. Will Jones; Swannanoa, T. B. Kymer; Black Mountain, J. A. Wal ter; Reems Creek, R. T. Ballard; Flat Creek. Ir. I. A.

There was considerable disappoint ment because Lieutenant Uovernoi Reynolds was not able io be present, lie had been called to New York on business. f'nliint.l T.iisli -was asked to address the meeting Nhile the committee was making up the slate. He said tnat tn all his experience in politics he had never been called unon to discuss the question of whether a poor man should be a man or a dog. He entered lino a long discussion of the legal phase of the amendment question, the trend of his argument being that the fifth sec tion was unconstitutional because it did not operate equally with all citi zens. He painted a very tearful pic ture of the illiterate man being unable to register. He made the registrar out A horribly dictatorial and unreasonable creature, and described what would be I he injustice of not allowing men of Il legitimate birth to vote. He quoted from Judr? FiHd In regard to the con stitutiona ity of ttie amendment. Colonel L.usk quoted from a state ment of J. P. Kerr, which he construed as an argument for the amendment, and Incidentally paid a high tribute to Mr. Kerr, whom he had always found honest in his convictions. Colonel Lusk having proved to his own satisfaction that the fifth section was unconstitutional, turned to anoth er phase of the question. He charged the leaders of the Democratic party with going back on their promises, not to disfranchise any citizens, and said lie "wondered if the God that smote Ananias and Sapphira was still in the business." The attendance was fairly good. The audience was not very responsive to the speaker, but nevertheless paid close attention. The following delegates to the state convention were recommended and elected : Asheviile V. S. Lusk, W. W. Rol lins, H. S. Harkins. E. T. Belote, W. M. Worley. H. C. Hugill. H. L. Her ren.

It is rumored that the trackmen of the Southern are to go out at some time this afternon. This includes section bosses and squads who keep the road in repair. The rumor cannot be con firmed An unusual number of railroad men have congregated about the Glen Rock hotel during most of the day, tarrying on earnest conversations In little groups apart. The most casual observer can see that there is some thing in the wind. It Is known tyiat another general meeting of railroad men has been called for the O. R. T. hall within the ntxt 48 hours. Superintendent Loyall said today that everything was perfectly smooth so far as the Ashevile division is con cerned, and added that he was assured by the officials that the same was true' throughout the system. All trains aro running on time. "I can verify the statement of the strikers that the men who went out are not going back. Nothing could be truer, as not one of them w-ifl be taken back. I feel the deepest sympathy for these boys, but t am not so sorry as I would have been had I not talked with nearly ev ery one of them personally before the strike beean and warned them of the consequences." Mr. Loyal! said that the places of the striking operators In the dis patcher's office are now filled, al though men were not put !n at first, oecause. there being no wires, there was nothing for them to do. He said that about 50 applications for work have been recently received from all ver th TTnited States. "I consider that we are in a normal condition," he added. "I have two traveling . auditors on the Murphy branch checking In new men. It re quires from half a day to a day at each office, so that the woi k is a lit tle slow. We shall discontinue for the present operators at a number of the smaller offices on that branch. There Is a large force of detectives on the line looking after the men who wer (-sponsible for cutting the wires." 2,000 MISSIONARIES MEET IN NEW YORK ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE OF FOREIGN MISSIONS BEGINS AT CARNEGIE HALL.

DUN & CO. Distrust Regarding the Great Combinations' Ppcps. Textile Industries Have Large Orders Yet to be Filled. THE FAILUBES FOR THE WEK AGGREGATED 194 AS AGAINST 184, FOR THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. New York, April 21. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Formal reduction of $5 per ton in the price of plates and bars, and closing of mills by the American Steel and Wire company have filled the week with sur prises. In the stock market and in the steel and iron products, changes have begun, the end of which cannot well be foreseen. Apart from the disturbance in spec ulation there has beer produced a measure of distrust regarding prices that are maintained by the great com binations, which for the present tend to deter building. In the iron business the formal reductions were almost wholly anticipated in local sales. Some urgent and important contracts have been made, including that for the New York tunnel, requiring 70,000 tons at prices not stated, but it Is believed that many others had been deferred until the prospect is clearer. There is a slightly better demand for hides at Chicago, attributed to their Improving condition, but the distribu tion of boot 8 and shoes does not keep all the factories at work. Some are closed, many more are running part time, and very few of these in opera tion have orders for a single month. . There is no room for doubt that greatly restricted buying has been caused by the high prices asked, which ''the makers declare unavoidable until prices of leather yield. The textile industries have large or ders yet to be filled which keep many of the mills busy, but there are many others less fortunate and their hunt for orders, with much regard for prices, causes irregularity In the lines not of established position. The staple wool fn and worsted goods hold steadily as i he makers need no more contracts, but in less favored lines, both for men's wear and in dress goods, the business is by no means satisfactory. Wool has been Inactive without change in prices. Cotton goods are by some sold at con cessions for future delivery, as all re alize that present prices will not long control cost of production. ? Raw cotton Is held at 9.81 cents with nil the more ease, because there seems to be nobody In this country impatient to buy except in the speculative mar kets. Northern mills have taken, with the stocks they held last September, enough for the whole year's needs. The spinners abroad will have yet to supply themselves, are paying 9.3 cents, th ver-ee export price for 133.000.00S worth shipped in March. In spite of the decrease in other staples, there were the largest merchandise exports ever known except in December. 1898. and the value of the minor domestic exports, chiefly manufactured, rose to $159,793,509 in March, a sum never Ap proached in any other month. Wheat declined a fraction In price and corn advanced a fraction, both markets being rendered comparatively inactive by uncertainty that the re maining foreign requirements will be easily met. Failures for the week has been 194 In the United States against 184 last year, and 17 in Canada against 22 last year. MAY RAISE A HOWL. American Tourists Should Not Pet Dogs to England. Take London.

CANNED ROAST BEEF FOR THE PHILIPPINES 0,000 CANS A MONTH TO BE SENT OVER FOR THE AMER ICAN SOLDIERS. Washington, April 21. The war de partment officials have been compelled to resort to the use of canned roast beef in the subsistence of the army tn the Philippines. This is due to the fact that it is absolutely essential that the soldiers shall be served with fresh meat and the impossibility of providing re frigerated btef or cattle on th hoot under existing conditions. When the bulk of the army was located near the seashore and at easily accessible points there was no difficulty in providing them with fresh meats,, but the condi tions have now changed and the army Is scattered among 160 posts in various parts of the archipelago, a great many of them at considerable distance from the nearest shipping point. There ar no cattle available, and the refriger ated beef which has heretofore been the principal basis of subsistence for the. troops, cannot be preserved in good condition long enough to reach many of the Inland posts. Consequently it became -necessary to look for some suitable substitute and th American canned roast beef wss the only thing found to meet the re quirements. The suggestion for its use came orig inally from the subsistence officers in the Philippines, and the chief commis sary officer at Manila recently called a requisition for an immediate deliv ery of about 100,000 cans of roast beef and subsequent delivery at the rate of about '50,000 cans' a month. Special precautions will be taken to secure the best quality of beef and to Insure proper care and preaervaiiuo all stages of its long journey to the Philippines. FREIGHT WRECK.
