Of course the inquiry heard on all
sides to-day was "What is the news from
Newbern and James City?" These places
fill a large place in the public mind just
now. This is the case at all the smaller
places and the news is now spreading
into the country. '-'.'.:,
Some of the negroes, those unthinking
ones who do not know what the law is,
are greatly stirred up, and make the af
fair a race issue, which it is not in the
least. .It was such ignorant or malicious
people- as these who were yesterday
heard to say they knew the negroes of
James City would fight to the last; that
they had bantered the State to fight and
must now face the music: and , it was
such people who also said they hoped
none of the troops would j return alive
Such remarks were also made by negro
women, and were made plainly. Such
things show a lack of balance on the part
of a few negroes, and are of course con
demned by the reflecting ones, who
know that it will be an eyil day when
the mandates of the courts are not
obeyed. There is at the same' time a
great deal of sympathy for the people of
James City. Congress might well pay
for the land and give it to them, lhere
is hardly another case just like it in the
country. In loo7 r ederal troops were
used in removing a large number of ne
groes from a farm near Norfolk.
Kains fell here to-aay ana were cer

The exhibition of trotting horses at the

large lot of horses in the State.

The Democratic primaries were held
last night and resulted in a complete
victory for the ''administration," which
means that next Monday Badger will be
re-elected mayor, Heartt chief of police
and Lambeth clerk.
The primaries in three of the five
wards voted for candidates for postmas
ter, but the result showed nothing, it is
contended by many. The vote for can
didates was very light as compared with
that cast for aldermen. Two wards de
clined to have anything to do with the
matter at all. The question was asKea
at the largest primary whether all the
three men voted for, A. M. Powell, W.
C, Strpnach and C. M. Busbee, had as
sented to the voting plan and agreed to
abide by the result, No one answered
this question. Powell led heavily in the
votiner. . i
It was reported here that a little boy
of Mrs. Grundler was dying of lockjaw;

As the Philadelphia in the lead neared

( Special to the Messenger.
Newbekn, N. C., April 25. The Gov
ernor went over to James ! City this
morning and addressed the people who
received him cordially and listened to
him with earnest attention. They then
appointed & committee of conference
which came over and through their
counsel, J. E. , 0Hara, opened negotiac
tions with Mr. Bryan for leases. A prop
osition to lease for one year was made
by them, which - Mr. Bryan would not
accept. He then offered to make them
three year leases. This was accepted
by their counsel, subject to.the approva1
of the committee and until 10 o'clock
to-night was given to decide the matter.
If a settlement is not reached then a
movement of troops will be made at 9
o'clock to-morrow morning. -$
To-night at 10:30 o'clock J. E. O'Hara
reported to the Governor that the people
would accept Mr. Bryan's terms, which
are that they will pay 50 cents, 75 cents
and $ I per month rent for three years.
At the end of three years they have the
privilege of removing their houses from
Mr. Bryan's lands. The troops will prol

New York World of yesterday.
Newbern, N. C, April 24. Five com
panies of the State Guard arrived to-night
and are in camp on the East Carolina
Fair grounds at the edge of Newbern and
on the spot where the Jame3 City negroes
were removed during the war.
James City is on the Trent, river, and
has a population of 2,000, all of whom
are negroes. During the war negroes
fled from all parts of Eastern Carolina to
Newbern for protection, as this city was
one of the two which were entirely under
control of the United States Army.
Quartermaster Horace James had them
moved out of Newbern across Trent
river, and on the same spot where now
stands James City five or six hundred
were placed, Considerable attention was
paid to them by Northern people who
were then m Newbern, and soon the
negroes came to the conclusion that the
land on which their humble homes Jweie
erected had been given to them by the
Government.
A town council was elected, a mayor
appointed and a regular city government
instituted, but the land does not belong
to ithe occupants, at least such is the de
cision of the Supreme, court, The land
was owned by Mrs.U. V4 ohepard, who
wa3 of a philanthropic disposition. She
never molested the squatters. After her
death the property reverted to Mr. James
Bryan, who tried to disabuse the ne
groes of the false belief which prevailed.
They would not be persuaded, and he
resorted, to the courts thirteen years ago.
The James City people contested the suit
of Mr. Bryan and it dragged through
the courts until, three years ago, the Su
preme court decided that the property
belonged to Bryan. He had valued the
land, according to the tax-books, at
000. It is now thought to be worth beY
tween $75,000 and $100,000. j Bryan uut
dertook to arrange amicable terms with
the negroes, but they would not believe
that their homes were owned by him,
and refused to pay him rent or to buy
him outf j
The whole State of North Carolina has
watched the proceedings with interest,
feeling that some day serious trouble
would ensue. The trouble has come. A
month ago the Sheriff sent j three depu
ties to dispossess the negroes, but the
atter resisted so strongly that the officers
left. Since then Mr. Bryan has offered
to give the Jame3 City people their
churches, school houses, , and public
buildings, to charge only $1 j per month
for the best residences, 50 cents for the
medium class and 25 cents for the poor
est houses, but the people tenaciously
cling to the belief that they are being
wrongly dealt with and that the Uov-
ernment will ultimately come to their
relief. They have said they would lose
their lives in the attempt to keep their
houses, and refuse to listen to the advice
of their preachers and the more intelli
gent of Newbern?s negro cjtizens. Some
of tne more violent negroes have threats
ened that they will, if driven from their
homes, burn the city of Newbern,

distinctly upward. The bears fought

CHICAGO. - April 25. The renorted
breaking of the European droucrht made
the wheat market weak here to-day, and
at the start cables ! were steady. Later
in the day reports of general rain on the
Continent of Europe and Kansas and the
report of the failure of the London bank
of Australia increased the disnosition to
sell freely. In the end, however,-the
market closed comparatively steady at a
slight reduction from inside prices.
The corn market ruled strong for an

The Disorders in Ireland.
; Belfast, April 25. To all outward
appearance, everything is quiet, but
there is an increase of bitter feeling be
tween the Unionists and INationaMste.
More Catholics were driven away from
Queens Island at midnight last night
and this morning by Orangemen, the
total number ejected exceeding 800.
Unionist leaders publicly . condemn the
rioting and the members of Parliament
from Belfast have signed an appeal for
peace and tolerance. Grand Master
Kane has issued a half hearted appeal to
the Orangemen, in God's name to stand
steady "until their leader blows the
trumpet, when all over 16 years of age
are to prepare for battle in: behalf of
faith and freedom. Moderator Lynd, of
the Presbyterian church in Ireland, has
appealed for tolerance in behalf of mem
bers of Ulster Presbyteries, and the
Ulster Defence union and several Orange
lodges have passed resolutions condemn
ing the disorders. - , '

INCREASED GOLD BALANCE.
The net gold in the Treasury this morn
ing, over and above the 100,000,000 gold
reserve is $900,000. This accounts for
the gold taken from the New York sub-
treasury for export to-day, also for the
gold offered and accepted from Boston
bankers. It does not, however, include
the gold which was offered to the Goy.
ernment from San Francisco and Roan
oke, Va. These amounts will appear in
the treasury figures when the actual ex
change is made, Secretary Carlisle is
much encouraged at what he terms "the
patriotic position taken by the Boston
banks. V He took over with him to the
Cabinet meeting a bundle of papers, pre
sumably bearing on the conference of the
New York bankers with Assistant Treas
urer Jordan. In the incomplete condi
tion of that matter the secretary did not
deem it prudent to express an opinion.

PRO POSITION OF NEW YORK BANKERS
REJECTED, , -
At the Cabinet meeting this afternoon
Secretary Carlisle brought up the prop
osition of the New York bankers to sup
ply, under certain conditions, the Treas
ury Department with gold. It was very
thoroughly discussed and finally : re
jected. What this proposition was is
not xnown here, as Secretary Carlisle
declined to make its terms public. It
was not, however, considered advanta
geous to the Government. This was the
culmination of several propositions sub
mitted, one oi which was declined last
Saturday. a counter proposition was
then made by the bankers to the becre?
tary of the Treasury, which was received
last . Monday, lhis:;was also rejected,
and in turn the Secretary submitted a
proposition to them which they also re
fused to accept: All negotiations, there
fore, between the Treasury Department
and the New York bankers are off, at
least for the present, and Secretary Car
lisle will look in other directions to con
tinue to replete the treasury gold. The
administration does not desire to issue
bonds and will not . do so, except as a
last resort. That time, in their opinion,
has not yet arrived, and if their efforts
to obtain gold are successful, will not
soon be reached. - '
Representative Wise. ' of Virginia.
called on the President this morning and
presented a petition signed by the bank
ers and business men of Richmond ask
