Overman one of the Democratic .n.iitafoa nri Mr. Price. one of tne Rpnnbiican-two of the itrongest politi cmI uneakeri in the State. It eeemi that the leaden in all the political parties in the State are University . men. oa.ua bury correspondence Ealeigh Port. We agree with this correspondent that Mr. Overman is one of "the strong est political speakers In the State." He is, however, not a "University man," but graduate of Trinity College. ! Ac cording to our best information Mr. Simmons is a leader in politics, and we are sure he is a Trinity Giilejge man. So also is Mr. W. D. Turner, Demo cratic candidate for Lieutenant Gover nor. There are many other political leaders who are Trinity, men, but we simply call attention to these proini nent examples to prove the incorrect ness of the statement made by the Post correspondent, which some people who do not stop to think might be induced to believe. It is folly to say that the .leaders in all the political parties in the State are graduates of the University, Trinity College or any other institution All the colleges are well represented, and certainly Trinity is not behind any of them in the number of its graduates who occupy high and honorable posi tions in every department", df - life. Among the "leaders in politics" we mieht mention, in addition to the . above, Hon. B. F. Long, Hon. Jas.! T. LeQrand, Hon. James A. Lockhart, Congressman John H, Small, Judge' O H. Allen, all of whom are Trinity men. . There are many prominent men in the ' State who are graduates of the other colleges, but we are more familiar with Trinity's work and . mention the above for this reason, and to show that it is the height of folly to "claim ti&t the University has a monopoly oh the busi ness of turning out "leaders." i The News antl- Observer .. says that when Dr. Long opened the Republican Convention with prayer last week he asked the delegates to repeat with him the Lord's prayer and that very few of them were able to do so, it being some thing new and strange to them.

The resolution ! was the culmination of a sensational sermon last night by Rev. L. G. Broughton, in which the minister made a violent at ! tack on the mayor's personal habits. The resolution call upon the mayor j to resign before the next meeting of the (council, two weeks from to-day.

Baltimore Son, 7tb. Lord Roberts keeps hammering away. His latest move is to carry the crossing of the Yet river, i 55 miles north of Bloemfootein and 200 miles abort of his oil Pretoria. News of this was cabled by the British commander-in-chief in dispatch made public by the London War Office) yesterday. Boers are on the north bank of the Vet' in considerable force, Their object seemlto be to delay Lord Roberts as mncb as possible until be reaches Kroonstad, CO miles north of his pres ent position, when they are expected to make a determined stand. There was a long battle at the Vet liter before the British crossed. , -It is believed in London that the crowing of the Vet was not effected without considerable loss. Loid Rob erta cables: "Our casualties, I hope, are not numerous." As he advances Lord' Roberts opens the railroad behind him; Trains are 'already .running as far north a Brand fort, Winburg, an important place, has aleo been occupied by the British. General Barton's brigade, which crossed the Vaal river at Winsprton, Cape Colony, continues to push on, but is compelled to fight hard for all it gains. A dispatch to the London Daily Mail from Lorenzo Marquez gives uncon firmed rumors that Mafekmg has been relieved and that 3,000 Boers, under General Lemner, have been captured at Fourteen Streams. As Lemner was fighting last week near Thaba Nchu, in an entirely different field of operations, the report of his capture is open to great doubt . . i . ' Baltimore San. 8th. : ' Lord Roberts is playing the same game of war that defeated Cronje and won Bloemfontein using great masses of men with skillful strategy to crush the Boers. Dispatches state that be is able to op pose five British to one Boer at every point where there ifl fighting, and so his progress is rapid-. Hislateet success is the occupation of Sroldeel, an im portant strategic point nine miles north of the Vet river and fc3 miles north of fUoemfontein. Fram Smaldeel a branch railroad runs to Winburg, 29 miles eastward, which town has been occupied by Gen eral Hamilton. By seizing this road the British commander-in-chief is able ,to put himself in an exceedingly advan tageous position for the aavance on Kroonstad, his next move. After his fast progress of the last few days a halt is likely, so that the immense British force may be consolidated in positions where each division . can protect , the others - " .. ' According to a dispatch from Smal deel, the British advance had a tempor ary set-back. . Lord Roberts' Jroops ad vanced from Tafelkop iu two strong columns, but the Boer general Delarey repulse one of them. This success for the burghers-was futile, howeveras the other British column outflanked them and forced them to retire. A scheme of the Free Staters which, had it not been discovered, would have enabled them to strike serious blows has been unearthed by the British. At almost every farm house Mauser and Martini rifles, with large supplies of ammunition, -have been concealed. As Lord Roberts advanced the Free Staters were to rise as an army in his rear and threaten his communications. - President Powell Officially . Calls ' the Strike Off. V Atiahta, May 8. President W. V; Powell, of the Order of Railway , Tele graphers, issued an order effective at 11 a.m., to-day, formally discontinuing the strike of the Southern Railway tele graphers, declared April 12, 1900. In his statement, President Powell an nounces the decision of the officer! of the order regarding the strike. He states that the telegraphers can now apply to the Southern for employment without being considered by the. order as 8cabsbut advises them not to do so. He says: "-. . . . It 18 to be regretted that some of the purposes for which the strike wa8 in augurated are not entirely successful. Had all members of the organization and those who agreed to support it in this struggleremained loyal to the cause, it would have been possible to give to you the notice of a complete victory." President Powell asserts that while the strike controversy is ended the boy cott feature on the Southern will be continued bo the order, and concludes his statement as follows: "The fight against the Southern Railway will never be stopped, by the organization until such -time as it concedes the things de manded by its telegraphers, the refusal of which led to the inauguration of a strike on the Southern's lines at 11 a. m., April 12, 1900.". . It is stated from the strikers' head quarters that many of the telegraphers formerly employed by the Southern are seeking positions on Western roads and isome are entering other employment The daily strike edition of The Jour nal of Labor, through the columns of which the fight has been vigorously waged, announced its discontinuance in in to-day's issue 1 .

The-railroad could of course do no busi ness temporarily at these points and freight shipments were blocked. Now these same people, some of whom have been discommoded through their own actions, are going to bring suits against the railroad for damages for failure to receive' and. deliver freight promptly They interfered with the railroad's em ployes so that they were forced to leave their posts, and now they are going to bub m rauro&u ior aamages tor not do ing what they prevented it doine.

THE AWFDL FAM15K Ifl lHDIA,' ' Pestilence and SUsery Hold Sway U3,- 500,000 People are In Distress. London, May 5. The report that i cholera is strengthening its deadly hold on famine-stricken India, brings the pitiful condition of that 'country more than ever to the public view. 'About 93,500,000, persons, fo this is the pop ulation of the district anected, are swel tering their squalid existences away, amid pestilence and misery that show no signs of abating. - Hundreds of thousands of pounds in good British gold, good German marks and Ameri can coin, have been thrown into the country, but, judging from the latest advices, all this charity is merely a arop in the ocean. The famine and lis at tendant complications appear to exceed in virulence any previous visitations. The Viceroy, Lord Curzon, of Kedles- ton, and the government are making ceaseless exertions to meet the terrible emergency, but the stupendous difficulty confronting them prevent the present supply of relief to more than 5,000,000. In the meantime the native states are dotted with heaps of dead and dying and the roads are crowdad with ghastly bands stking to escape from the stricken territories but who, for lack of food and water, mostly succumb m the attempt. One of the most hopeless features of the whole affair is contained in the statement of a special correspon dent at Simla, who writes: "Ten times the total relief could be laid out in a single district without fully relieving its distress. All we can hope for is a suc cession of good years to put the people on their legs again." " i j The British districts are reported to be so far escaping the large starvation and mortality that mark the native States. But that their condition is not enviable is evident from the following description sent by a Bombay corres pondent of the scene at Ahmedabad, a city in the presidency of Bombay: In an open space upwards of 200 were seated, old and j young, being famine personified. The smell arising froni their filthy rags was sickening, and had attracted myriads of. flies. Some, especially the old men, -were bony frameworks. A girl Buckling two children was ghaBtly to look at, but the little ones, with hollo vv temples, sunken eyes and cheeks, and the; napes of their necks falling ; in under; their . skulls, which seemed to overbalance their ema ciated bodies, and with wisp-like - arms and legs, . were more dreadful still Many were suffering from dise .66 and numbers had the fever, ! Those who could work were sent on Where tanks were given were being dug. . They meat and passed on to the poor-bouse. This picture is from a less seriously affected -part of the country. The sufferings in the remoter districts, '-where the famine is severe, where all the cattle have long since died, where the water is precious and where . cholera has now added its dread scourge, lean well bf imagined. 1 ! . - Minister Kills a Stenographer.

C., May ' 5. Samuel H. Hawkins, Jr., who fired a bullet into his brain yesterday in his room in this city, died this afternoon at 2:20 o'clock. Mr. Hawkins went to the Buford hotel early yesterday morning and was assigned to a room, and the clerk says be appeared to be in a normal condi tion. About 11 o'clock yesterday morn ing a shot was heard in the- hotel and on looking through the transom of . his room, a seryant saw the unfortunate man lying across the bed with blood Sowing from a wound in bis head'. He had a 32 calibre pistol firmly gripped in his hand. i .The door was bolted. It was forced open and doctors summoned. The ball was found to have entered the right ear, passing around the brain and 'lodging over the left ear. Efforts were made to remove the ballet, but it could not be found. After being unconscious for about five hours, Mr. Hawkins, about 5:30, became fully - conscious and talked freely with several friends in his room. He said he felt pain about his head and when Rev. Dr. Hoffman, of the Epis copal church, told him that he was going to die, he simply remarked: "Is that bo? 1 he then repeated a prayer after the rector. ; In explanation as" to the cause of his act, Mr. Hawkins " Baid that he had undergone more than any of his friends imagined, and could stand" it no longer. All the trouble that his friends know anything of is that be had worried a great deal over some annoyance he had caused bis friends by his, indiscreet actions some months ago, and it is sup posed that .he had brooded over the matter antil he was prompted to end bis life.
