The Spanish . communication will be translated this evening' and its contents will ' be discussed by the United States commissioners tomorrow at their daily session. - The Spaniards, in their cornmunica 'tion today reaffirmed the position which they have assumed against the r discussion here of Spain's Philippine sovereignty. They insist that the -words "shall determine the control, disposition and government of the Phil ippine" in article three of the peace protocol did not warrant any reference to Spam's withdrawal from the Phil ippines, except on her own terms, and, therefbre, the Spaniards propose arbi tration on the construction to be plac ed on the words "the control, disposi tion and government." In signifying their willingness to submit the Philippine article of the protocol to a third party for construc tion, the Spanish commissioners urged today that, as there is obviously a dif ference of opinion regarding the phrase "the control, disposition and government of the Philippines" pos sihly the result of a misunderstanding, the Spaniards should no more be asked to surrender their view than the Amer icans to surrender theirs. The meme- randum points out that a dead lock exists, which might be broken by arbitration on the contending views, but to which the Span ish commissioners are quite ready to submit. -The latter declare that they liave no idea of suggesting arbitration as to the main issue, which touches na tional honor on both sides, but they are willing to accept exterior aid to clear the path of negotiations. It is safe to say that the American commissioners will not consent to in voke exterior aid to construe the terras -of their own protocol. Another part of today's Spanish memorandum flatly asserts, upon the authority of M. Cambon's report of the protocol negotiations between Wash ington and Madrid through him, that President McKinley at no time object ed to Spain's reservation of her sover eignty in the Philippines. This allega tion is directly opposed to the Ameri- can record on the same suDject. ine the navy would be gradually increased American commissioners now bold aila a series of internal reforms would that the protocol itself was born of he submitted.

Kinley's objection to Spain's phrase ology in accepting the peace terms was "based solely, so far as was made known tipon this sentence in the Spanish ac ceptance: "They accept the proffered terms subject to the approval of the fortes of the kingdom as required by their duties." The Spanish memorandum today liolds that M. Cambon answered tne American objection to tiiis by pointirg out that the American's terms were proffered subject to the approval of the Americans, but that President McKin ley replied that ke did ciot desire to involve the internal affairs of Spain in the proceedings in hanU. The Spani&h memorandum asks also "wby, if the United States objected to Spain's reservation of sovereignty, they did not plainly say so In the pro- tocol and leave no room for argument. It also asks why Judge Day's note of August 10th did not clearly declare that the United States would not recognize such reservation and thjtt the protocol was necessary to prevent a mitunder- standing on that point It also asks : why did Judge Day's note practically . ascribe the inexplicit form of Spain's acceptance of the pea.ee terms to lele-- .graphic errors, while the exact terms of Spain's reservation or sovereignty, &s.had in Washington before the pro tecol. are now "being quoted in, the prt ceedings here.

Up to ; this point, the discussion at Paris hav- 3 ing touched on principle, there has been no. attempt to name exact figures In relation to the amount of, money luaL mi6Ul ue LU u .

Such, for instance, was the statement that the United States would reimburse Spain "for the . pacific ex- penditures," made on account of the i Washington by way of New York to Philippines, for no one here at the morrow. time had an exact knowledge of what these expenditures amounted to. in the aggregate. Thi , has been ascertained, however, to the satisfaction of the American commissioners, at least, and they will name the exact amount of ; money, which the United States is willing to pay, over to Spain on this account. What is proposed is a cash payment to the Spanish government, for the United States does not propose to en ter into any relations whatever with any of the holders of any of the bonds : issued by Spain, notwithstanding the ef forts of some of the foreign pbwers to J bring this result about. As to the amount wrhich will be offered to Spain, ! the officials here are mute, but it is be- : 000,000 and $40,000,000. Our commissioners do not look for an unconditional rejection of our offer, but believe that there will be an at tempt on the part of the Spanish corn- missioners to secure a liberal increase of the amount named. The American commissioners are under instructions to inform the Spanish commissioners that" there can be no further delay in the final conclusion of the "work of the commission, so that it is expected a conclusion, one way or the other, will be reached before long to the peace ne- i gotiations Paris November 16.

ITALY NEEDS PEACE. i Rome, November 16. King Humbert i in opening parliament today, made ref- erence to the ' rioting in Italy last spring. His majesty said he was look ing forward to the movement when he i would be able to pardon those who ; were misled at the time.

C, November 16. Every one here is delighted at the i fine taste and admirable temper of the democratic jubilee last night. It was a perfect success in every particular. White republicans and the populist leaders are coming forward rapidly and expressing their eagerness to have the negroes disfranchised. Republicans are -particularly open, in fact, prommen. ih the declarations to this effect I It is stated that both of North Car i olina's senators are in favor of the ; annexation of the Philippines, j Dr. J. B. Buffalo, of Raleigh, is .the coroner of this county. His wife, a daughter of Mr. W. J. Hicks, superin tendent of the Oxford orphan asylum, sues for divorce on the ground of ; cruelty. Last night a case was heard at chambers at Smithfield in which she asked for the custody of their j child. The judge decided in her favor. It As a very sad case. From advance sheets of the annual report of the state superintendent of public instruction it is learned that the public school fund paid to white toach j ers this year is $451,574 and to negro j teachers $227,195, and for school houses : for whites $30,663, and for colored $16507. The amount paid for city schools collected under the general school tax and not under special taxes, is $34,VjO. The total for schools is $852,836, and there is a balance on hand of $185,599 There are 412,143 white and 200,788 ne gro children of school -ag. The ayer- age attendance of both races at school is, however, only 110,677 whites and 58,548 negroes, j There is quite a rush for seats in the 1 legislature. Already seventy are pick , ed out in the lower house and thirty- i six in the senate. Something was raid about the drawing for seat3 by lot, but it seems it will not be done, but that the old way will prevail. Republican State Chairman Holton is now saying he knew a month ago that fusion was defeated. Revenue Col lector Duncan says he thinks Holton must be joking, and that he, Duncan, did not believe' democratic success was possible. On the evening of Thanksgiving day here, in the" Academy of Music, the third inter-collegiate debate between Wake Forest and Trinty will be held, the subject being: "Resolved, that the United States should not adopt a poli cy of territorial-expansion." Trinity has the affirmative, Wake Forest the gima vs. University of North Caro lina. The annual report on the cotton mills of the state was finished today. There are 191 spinning or weaving mills and Hosiery muis. r ony-seven per cent. of all the bothy day anpd nightf thus giving a consuming power of 1,579,300 spindles. They consumed 163,- 389,000 pounds of cotton this year, There are 24,535 looms. The increase in jpin"es during the year by the erec- tion of newr mills, is 43.000, and old mills have enlar&ed their plants to the extent of 16,820 spindles, Thus the total gain in 1898 is 59.820 Do Von Read What people are saying about Hood's MIsaiWIUlil .

At the national liberal unionists" conference held here'ioday, Joseph ;Chamberlaln," secretary of .state Tor the colonies, made his firt public' speech since his return from the United .States.' v Mr. Chamberlain, who was more explicit on, the subject of Anglo-French rela tions than any of his colleagues in the cabinet has been, said it was the "hope ST every friend of peace that the French withdrawel from Fashoda Is indicative of their acceptance of the principle of the British control of the whole valley of the Nile regarding which there cannot be any discussion whatever." Going on to recite a "series of un friendly acts perpetrated by France in various quarters of the globe during the last ten or fifteen years, he said: "If better relations are to be estab lished, it will be necessary for French politicians to abandon tactics whose object has been to hamper and embar rass British policy even in quarters where the French have no interests to protect. T refer especially to New Foundland, where, despite the fact that the French fishery interests have declined, to a comparatively insignifi cant point, the demands of the French hafe continually increased and their interference with the development of the colony has increased. After referring ttf the "thorough and complete sympathy so noticeable be tween the" motherland and her col onies," Mr. Chamberlain continued as follows: "What is of equal importance, our American kinfolk (loud cheers) have begun to understand us better. If "We have had differences in the past, I be lieve they have arisen entirely from thetwant of proper mutual understand ihg but now the Americans know that in the late trouble our hearts wetit out to them (cheers and they heartily reciprocate our good feelings. I shall not attempt to predict what may follow this better feeling, but I may at least hope thrrt in the future the understanding which I have spok en of may be perfeced and that in the face of that understanding we two may be able to guarantee peace and civiliza tion to the whole world." ItlRS. FELTON'S ADDRESS She Reports What She Said to the Georgia Farraen-She Says the Edi tor, ITIanly, Should Have Reen - Lynched Atlanta, Ga., November 15. Mrs. W. H. Felton, whose speech brought forth Editor Manly's reply in his Wilming ton paper, resulting eventually in the negro editor's enforced departure from the North Carolina city, is at her home the Felton farm near Cartersville. Concerning statements that Manly's editorial was written in reply to her address before the Georgia agricultural society at Tybee nearly two years ago, Mrs. Felton today repeated portions of the speech and made some sensational statements In confirmation, of her views. In addressing the farmers at Tybee, Mrs. Felton said: "The crying need of women on farms is security in their lives and home. It is adisgrace in a free country when rape and violence are public reproach and the best part of God's creation are trembling and afraid to be left alone in their homes. "With due respect to your politics, I say that when you take the negro into your embraces on election day to control his vote and use liquor to be fuddje his understanding and make him believe he is your man and brother; when you honey-snuggle him at the polls and make him familiar with dirty tricks in politics, so long will lynching prevail, because the cause will grow and increase with every election and when there is not enough religion in the pulpit to organ ize a crusade against this sinner, jus tice in the court house to put a shelter ing arm about innocence and virtue, if it requires lynching to protect wo man's dearest possession from raven ing, drunken human beasts, then I say lynch a thousand a week if it is ne cessary." "Since that address wras made the crime and lynchings have decreased 50 per cent, in Georgia" said Mrs. Fel ton, coming to the present time. "The race will be destroyed by the whites in self defense unless law and order prevail in regard to the crime of rape and the lynching that follows. When the negro Manly attributed the crime of rape to lewd intimacy between ne gro men and whitej? women of the south, the slanderer laould be made to fear a lyncher's ropf rather than oc cupy a place in nef papers." A Cerfew Law Vetoed St. Louis, Mo., November 16. Mayor Zeigenhein has vetoed the curfew bill passed by the city council recently at the instigation of Colonel Hoagland, well known all over the country as the friend of the street waifs. The mayor says in his veto mes says: "This bill partakes of the char acter of sumptuary legislation which has been generally distasteful for cen turies and to which, in common with thousands of good citizens, I am, on principle pposed. It is a step back ward toV;e middle ages, and is op posed to the spirit and policy of our free institutions, in that it attempts to abridge the personal liberties of the citizens." !

Kas.t November 11 This afternoon the First National iank, of Empons,, wsi txoi by ordr of the comptroller uf'lha treasury. An hour later Chnrlfs S.

Speculation Is said to have Med to Cress" c-jwnf&U. His fortune has doubtless gne down with the. bank. Among the heavy losers by the failure are Lyor. county and the city tt Km roria. All the city and county fun2s were cepcfited in the institution. Cross wis cuf;i'.an of his father" es tate, which is aiso said to ue in a wrecked ccnd.ucn. Cross ending was tragic. To the majoriy of the people of the town the comptroller's card in the doors of the bank came as a surprise, but in finan cial circles both here and in the state the result had been anticipated for six months. Examiner Charles Jobsz who closed the bank on orders from the comptroller, has been groins: over its books -with the aid of President Cross, for the past week. No signs of mental agitation on the part of the bank president had been displayed and when Cross left the bank today, ten min utes before it closed, he waved his hand pleasantly to his associates and seemed no different from usual. There was a smile on his face as he passed his friends en the street. He went im mediately to Sunny Slope farm and, speaking: pleasantly to the employes, passed into the bedroom of Manager Evans house. Soon after Evens en tered the room. Ue found Cross lying in a pool of blood with a pistol in his hand. One shot had been fired and went through the back of the head. Death must have been instantaneous. The bank's statement had been grow ing and caused comment last May. The statement issued on September 20th "last did not materially improve. Small withdrawals of deposits resulted, but most of the business men k?pt faith in the bank and up to 1 o'elockl today heavy deposits were made. The last statement showed: Capital $100,000; surplus profits $101,289.53; due to de positors, banks and bankers, $513,599.42; circulation $22,500; total resources $737, 8SS.95. jExaminer Jobsz has been wrestling witn tne prooiem or tne assets ror a week and it is authentically reported that he had found them badly shrunk en. To a reporter he said: "While I do not know exactly what the outcome of this matter may be, still I think I am justified in saying that the deposi tors will not suffer seriously. Yet, when a thing like this occurs, it lops off 25 per cent, of he assets of the bank at one blow." William Martin, , vice president of the bank, has been regarded by com mon consent for many years as one of the most solid men in Kansas. He served a number of terms in the Kan as legislature and has frequently been mentioned as a candidate for governor. Cross was the son of the late Colonel Harrison C. Cross, who died suddenly of heart disease at Macinack a few years ago and who was believed to have been worth several hundred thou sand dollars. Young Cross was 39 years old and had worked in the bank, which his father helped organize, since boyhood. Thirteen years apro h became interested in stock raising and in 1S92 begran the importation of fine Hereford cattle, for which his farm is known all over the country. Sunny Slope, farm was one of the best stock ed farms anywhere and it was Cross ambition to make it the leading" farm of its kind in the United States. He had recently advertised a sale of fine stock, the money from which, it is said, he intended to turn into the bank. Cross was personally very popular and had innumerable friends. He leaves a widow and daughter. He had mar ried twice. His first wife was Miss Kate Smeed. daughter of a formr president of the Union Pacific railway. They were divorced in the '70's. INDIANA Ni:;itOFS Ileet and Paw Severe Resolution Upon the Action of the White People or the Carolina Indianapolis, Ind., November 1C. The auditorium 6f the Bethel Arican Methodist Episcopal church was crowded to the doors with colored peo ple last night, drawn together to ex press their indignation at the killing of negroes at Wilmington, N. C, in South Carolina and Mississippi, and take such action as might be deemed practicable and advisable. A committee of five was appointed to draft suitable resolutions and re ported a series in which disgust was expressed "at the outrages perpetrated upon the colored people in the south and that it was time to ask for the conviction of such abuses and that the president be asked to call the at tention of congress to the widely in creasing evil in order that action be taken by congress to prevent a recur rence of the outrage in the future." It was also urged that a copy of the resolutions be forwarded to the Indi ana senators and representatives in congress and the newly installed may or of Wilmington, N. C, and to the governor of that state; also that a copy be sent to Governor Tanner, of Illinois, "through whose neglect of right and Justice" the resolutions al lege, "negro miners were shot down by the Illinois state militia at Virden." A resolution was also adopted pro viding for the selection of five citizens by the chairman who shall constitute a standing commission, bearing to the colored people of the country much the same relation as was borne by the Cuban Junta to the Cuban patriots.

A Grand Trunk express train, bound for Toronto, crashed into a moving train near Murray Hill crossing, uvo miha west of here, at 3:30 o'clock this morn ing and several cars were snushl al most to eplinters. So far as known eleven persons were killed aiul a Jozcu or more seriously injured. A misplaced switch was the cause of the accident, the west bound train tak ing the wrong track, on which was the east bound freight. The train, which left Montreal at 8 o'clock last night, consisted of t press, mail and bagffatij cars, a second clas car, one tirst class coach and two Pull man sleepers. The second class car was next to the baggage car and ahead vt the first class coach and sleepers. It was pretty well filled with people, therd being twenty or more passengers In it. and hardly any of them escaped with out injury. Between Belleville and Murray Hill crossing the road is single tracked, tho only piece of single track between To ronto and Montreal. At Murray Hill crossing the west bound express usual ly leaves the single track and takes the double track, and It was about a mile and a half west of this point where the accident occurred. Whether the sig nals were right or not this mornlnjr will never be known from the engineer or fireman of the wrecked train, for they are both dead. Both engines wera totally destroyed and the freight en gine was thrown completely over the passenger engine into the ditch beyond. The engineer and fireman of the freight engine. Thomas Ivens and Alexander Toppin, both of Toronto, jumped and escaped with slight Injur ies. W. H. Brady, engineer, of Belle ville, and John McDonald, fireman, of Belleville, who were in charge of the passenger engrine, were killed. The greatest destruction was wrought in the second class car. The baggage car was driven into and almost com pletely through it, the passengers bt " ing crushed and mangled underneath the timbers of the car. The mall car was forced right up on top of the bag gage car and the express car was par tially wrecked. The first class car was uninjured, as were also the two uletp ers, although the passengers wero awakened by the shock. The work of getting out the dead and Injured was commenced immetiato ly, but it was late in the morning- be fore all the belies were got out. Some of them were so horribly mangled that recognition was almost impossible. The Injurecl were taken to th- hospital nt Belleville.' Fund for the Free Sliver ampalgu Cincinnati, November 16. W.
