The Superior court convenes. here next Monday. One ,qf the cases on the calen dar is the euiffcf Robert 0. Burton, of Raleigh, against the State Treasurer and Auditor for $5,000, counsel fees in the tazz case of the tate against the "Wil mington and Weldon railway.

The joint commission appointed to examine into the subject of the personnel of the n&vy held a meeting to-day asd the witnesses were the men in the lower ranka of offi cials, bat their evidence was, perhaps, more to the point than much that had preceded them. The men were Jii. W. Smith, carpenter in the dejoartment of CGOStructiGo. at the Washington navy yard; Rush C. Steele, machinist cn board the Dolphin; B. F. Megie, shipwright on board the Dolphin, and Boatswain Hud son, on duty at the navy yard. These men made an argument in favor of an assimilated rank up to the grade of lieu tenant, so that the men in the branches of the seryice they represent would htive something in the 6hape of promotion to which they might look forward. NEW ENTERPRISES. ; A NUMBER IN CONTEMPLA TION IN RALEIGH. A General Ducking of a Circus Crowd Property Owners Fighting the Insurance Combine Morehead City Wants the Encamp ment Endorsement of Senator Jarvis by tbe Colored Delegation. Messenger Bureau, ) Raleigh. April 21. f Over 3,000 people were under the can vass at a circus performance here last night, when at 9:30 o'clock the heaviest rain of the year fell. Fully half of the crowd were literally soaked with water. There was quite a rush for the outside, but no one was hurt. Later, while the tent was being taken down, a circu3 employe was struck by a heavy pole and badly hurt. Yesterday a white man named Adkins, about 50 years old, was killed near hear, in the woods. A boy cut down a tree, and as it fell a limb struck Adkins, breaking his neck. A number , of industrial enterprises are planned for an early beginning here. Some suburban property has been re cently purchased. Real estate is looking up. Raleigh has, luckily, had no boom. Morehead City is making s earnest ef forts to induce the authorities to order the encampment of the State Guard there next summer. Among the callers at the Executive office to-day was Gen. Smith D. Atkins, of Freeport, Ills, He married a daughter of the late Governor David L. Swain. It is said that many Raleigh property owners are dropping the insurance in the Southeastern Tariff association and taking insurance from brokers. It is regarded as quite probable that a mut ual fire insurance company will soon be established. It is said that the tariff as sociation has not enforced 'at Wilming ton and some other cities the new high rates. It is enforcing these rates here. The local cotton receipts here by wagon this season are 26,197 bales, against 21,247 last season. There is now only one case of c onta gious disease in this city. It is a case of scarlet fever, and very near complete recovery. Messrs. Marshall DeLancey Haywood and B. G. Beckwith, both of Raleigh, are representing North Carolina at the Nation convention of the "Sons of the Revolution," at Baltimore. Mr. Leaz&r tells me the wheat crop on the penitentiary farms now promises to be very fine. d There are 1,000 acres in wheat ' Mention was made of the fact that a colored delegation called Thursday af ternoon on Governor Carr and urged him to appoint Jarvis Senator. James H. Yosng, the spokesman of the delega tion, said: "Governor, we deplore as deeply and sympathetically es any citi zen, do the death of our beloved Senator who had proved himself in so many re spects the true friend of our race, but since that death and the duty of filling the vacancy devolves upon you we can here not as partisans, but as true and loyal" citizens of this grand old Common wealth, to ask that you, if not contrary to your views, give the appointment to ec-Governor Thomas J. Jarvis, who also during his public life nd services ihas hown himself our friend. From the na ture of the case we caaaiot urge his -p-ipointment but knowiing him as we do. and the feeling of the people of 'both Taces in the State for mm, it is our hum ble opinion that be wl more nearly fill our lamented Senator's .place, both in State and nation, and in the hearts of our people than any man in the State. While we know that you will fully weigh all matters pertaming to the great- ques tion, yet you wie. paroon us tor eaymg that not sections, tout the interests of the whole people and the State are involved, and that the man who can do the best and most effectual service for the -State and will faithfully dothe greatest good for the greatest number should be con sidered, and we feel no hesitancy in say ing that that eminent -citizen, upright man and faithful public servant whom we all admire and trust, Thomas J". Jarvis, measures p to the required standard. We feel that the interest that he has taken in the welfare of our race, both as a public efficial and a private citizen entities him to this much at our hands, and without his knowledge or consent, or even -consulting; his wishes in the matter, we appear here . and ask his appointment at your hands, believing it to be for the beet interests of both people and State. Governor Carr said: "I am certainly glad to receive this visit from you, and. I appreciate f ullv all that you have said in. the interest of ex-Oorernor Jarvis, and will he pleased to have the remarks put in writing to bl filed at the Executive office. If you will wait a tew minutes I tvill announce my decision and you can then know who the appointee s." .In a little while thereafter Governor Carr announced the appointment1 of ex Governor - Jarvis, and the delegation hastened to the Yarboro house and wae the first to congratulate Senator.

Pennsylvania's Petition Consrress to Appriate $500,000,000 for that Purpose No Business of Inter est in Either Branch of Congress. SENATE. Washington, April 21. A petition from citizens of Pennsylvania for the issue of $500,000,000 in treasury notes to be used in the improvement of roads, and to be distributed pro rata among the States according to the length of their roads, was presented in the Senate by Senator Peffer. Senator Allen inquired of the Vice President whether the Peffer resolution on the subject of Coxey's army would come up in the morning hour of the next legislative day, and he was informed by the Vice President that the resolution had already had its day and had gone to the calendar So Senator Allen will, therefore, have to seek another occasion to reply to Senator Hawley's remarks of, yesterday in which his speech of the day before was characterized as containing the bacteria and bacilli of anarchism. Senator Dolph continued his speech on the tariff begun yesterday, in opposition to the bill. He soon yielded, however,to permit Senator Quay to present the me morial adopted by the convention of protectionist workingmen now in the city, protesting against the passage of the Wilson Tariff bill, and Senator Quay read and presented it. While the me morial was being read there was no un usual attendance of spectators in the gal leries, and it was evident that the mem bers of the convention had either not sought, or not been given admission in any large numbers. After the reading was finished Senator Dolph went on with his speech. At 5 o'clock p. m. the the day ended, without finishing his speech, and discussion for Senator Dolph the Senate ad- journed until Monday. House of representatives. The House bill to amend the act of 1889, establishing Circuit courts oi ap peal, by authorizing an appeal where a preliminary injunction is granted or re fused, was passed. This was the only bill that ran the gauntlet of unanimous consent for consideration. Half a dozen other requests met objections. At 12:45 0 clock the Mouse resolved it self into Committee of the Whole to con sider the Diplomatic and Consular ap propriation bill for the year ending June 30, 1895. No changes were made in the items considered. At 2 o'clock the committee rose with out completing consideration of the bill, and the House proceeded to hear eulogies upon the late Senator Randall L. Gibson, of Louisiana. " The usual resolutions were adopted and as a further mark of respect, the House at 4:05 o'clock adjourned until noon Monday. The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, April 21. The Sun's cot ton report says: The trading was still on such a small scale and the fluctuations were within such narrow limits that the cotton market to-day does not call for "very serious or lengthy discussion. The Liverpool advices were not so weak as the bears expected, but the crop news from Texas was favorable and the esti mate of receipts at New Orleans on Mon day was calculated 10 favor the inter ests of the shorts. Still the port and in terior receits to-day were small. There was enough covering to cause a very slight advance at one time and the market closed steady. One firm said: lWe have had another week of continued depression and the lowest price at which May deliveries have vet old was touched to-day. Wednesday next will be notice day on May contracts and August has now be come the most active trading month. August tday closed at 7'51 bid, the same as yesterday. The fact that Liver pool halted in her decline to-day led many of 4he shorts to take their profits and their 'buying gave a show of steadi ness to the market. But there seemed to belittle inclination for investment. A helpless ort feeling seemed to .prevail among the bulls.. Cotton is certainly very low, but it may go lower. The Chn&nicle weather and crop report for the week is as follows: Reports from the "South denote that rain has fallen in most sections during the wreek and has -ac a rule been of benefit. . Alto gether the weather has been quite satis factory and farm work is making better progress. Planting is now pretty well advancedcn Texas, but in the remainder of the cotton belt it is backward. Our correspondent at Dallas states that early planted cecton is up and makes a favor able appearance." Coxey's New Plan to Raise Funds. Hageesiown, Md., April 21. The Coxey men are preparing to turn the itables on Hagerstown. The people have Set them go hungry, without feeding them and also let the storm soak them, without offering them shelter; sc the Cummonweaiers are retaliating by put ticg up a canvas sereeta. around thecamp acid charging admission to the enclosure. Should they succeed in this the revenue from the gate.probably will support the army for a week, should they want to stay so Ions:, Browne says that ' tbe cabal of bankers, bloodless and bloated monopolists, who wosdd charge the American Hag a, tax to wave on. the highway, are trying to starve the Com monweal into dee pe ration o force them to break the law." He declares that i this plan too, will ail and that the das tardly plan will only react cm the heads of those who are scheming te bring this blot on the fair name of Maryland. There was one desertion i&day Geo. Bruner, a moulder, by trade crho had been with the party since its leaving Massillon. He quit in disgust, saying that he was tired of the expedition and that all the army from Browne oJown were a set of "hobos," without one work ing man in the lot. OVER WEIGHTED. . 9 ' . I THE BRITISH XIBERALS SLIPPERY GROUND. ON The Irish Members Restive at Delay on Their Relief Measures-The Opposition to Force an Issue Contempt for the Duke of Ed lab a re Gladstone is SicJfc Itords Bank rupt. London, April 21.-The Government has so over weighted theij parliamentary programme for the sessioi with con ten- nous marcer mat not a single one of one their measures has a chance of passing unless the bills shall be so altered as to almost whollv materially transform them. The Registration bill, the Evicted Tenants bill and the budget proposals, each contain a sufficient number of ob jectionable provisions to excite the de termined and prolonged opposition, not only of the Conservatives, but oi a con- mi siderable part of the Irish membership ana many Kadicals and Unionists. The Conservatives will resort to every possi ble form of obstruction in resisting the raid made upon landed property under the proposed new estate duty and in this they can confidently count on undivided support of the Unionists. The liquor in terests are exerting a powerful influence on the Irish and Scotch supporters of the Government in their msistance upon the modification of the projected duties on spirits and beer. Even under the limita tion of the proposed tax on spirits to one year, Ireland, which is alreadv paying a conspicuously unfair proportion of the domestic revenues into the Imperial treasury, will be mulcted to the tune of 300,000 additional taxation and with the proposed increase under the estate duty it is estimated that the excess of Irish taxation over the current year will he over 500,000. Confronted by this conditoof things, it is not surprising that the Irish pariia mentary party are fretting over the de lay of the Government in bringing for ward home rule, a delay that is tanta mount to the shelving that measure for the session. Neither is it any wonder that the Irish party are chafing at the obstructions placed in the way of a settle ment of the question of the financial re lations between Great Britain and Ire land. - The restriction of plural voting by holding simultaneous elections is quite as offensive to some Liberals as it is to the Tories and Unionists, and from those ob jectors the Conservatives may receive some assistance, through their compell ing a modification of that objectional "Clause. Of course nobody expects tne bill to become a law, even if it should pass the House of Commons, which is by no means certain. Lord Salisbury in his speech to the Primrose league, announced the fate of the bill in the event of its reaching the House of Lords, when he said that the Lords would reject the measure unless the plural voting and three months residence clauses were withdrawn. With these clauses with drawn there would not be anything left of the bill.' ' The chief difficulty with the Evicted Tenants bill is the proposal to allow land grabbers the option 'of retaining their farms. The McCarthyites are Carrying their allegiance to the Government to extremes in assenting to this proposal, as they must certainly be aware that the popular sentiment in Ireland will not be satisfied unless the land grabbers are cleared out. The Parnellites take a view of the mat ter more in coincidence with Irish popular opinion. They demand that evicted tenants shall have absolute power to re occupy their holdings, that is to say, that nobody shall occupy a farm until the tenant evicted therefrom has decided whether he desires to reoccupy it under certain prescribed relations, or. not. If the tenant decides to reopcupy it under those conditions, .the landlord shall have no power to prevent him. The bill providing for the disestablish , ment of the Church of Wales will be in troduced an the House of Commons by Mr. Asauith, Home Secretary, next Thursday. Like the others, this meas ure will be fought to the death by the Conservatives. At a meeting of Con servative members, held yesterday eve ning:, it was decided to . precipitate a division on the first reading of the bill, so that the fate of the measure may be decided before the end of the week. The big ma jority in the House of Com tnons last "evening in favor of continu ing 10,000 to the Duke of Endinburgh is by no means to be regarded as testify mz to tne uue s popularitv or as evi dence of parliamentary obsequiousness to royalty. It is a matter of fact that the Liberals votstLto continue the grant very largely out oi respect for Mr. Gladstone. who made the arrangement whereby the grant was conferred upon the Duke. Underlying me debate was a strong feel ing of contempt for the Duke of Edin burgh, whict was only half concealed. It is an open secret that both the Oueen and Prince of Wales intervened with the Duke and ured him to surrender the whole annuity after his succession to the Coburg Duchy, and it is also known that both Lord balisbury and Mr. Gladstone, wim wilful lQ9 uuke consulted, gave him advice similar to that given by tne yuetn and Prince of Wales. It was with the greatest difll cuity tnav thev nerstiaded him to surrender the 15.000 but nothing that could be said would induce him to give up tne remaining 10,000. His select English circle are circulating the report :uiat me auko intends to expend the en tire sum of the grant in a month's junketing at Clarence House, his Lon don residence.' Public money continues 10 mam warn uiarence House Tor him. but he win have to alter his character I mightily if he becomes as lavish in his hospitauty as his friends intimate, even at the expense of somebody else. Ihe financial troubles of members of the aristocracy are coming into un wonted prominence. Lord Sudely, who was at one time enormously wealthy, has lot hid fortune through investments in the Winchester House trust and the failure of the Murrietas. Lord Thurlev has been declared a bankrupt. The Earl of Burchan. whose family is among the oldest of the Scotch Peerage, has made a most disgraceful appearance in the bankrupt court. In the course of his examination he told how. when he was young, he obtained a livelihood as a lookey. In his later vears he has subsisted upon loans obtained from insurance companies by giving mort mortgagea on his estates and the nro- eeeda of betting on horse races. He also admitted that he had been a co-resnond- ent ma divorce case. Another aristo crat, the lion, W. U.

Everything is comparatively quiet in Omaha to night after the excitement of the. last two days but those who are well in formed are inclined to the belief that it is the lull before the storm. Work of all kinds was practically suspended to day. Shops were deserted and working- men turned out in masses to discuss the all absorbing topic of what would be done for Kelly's industrial army. They stood on corners and in doorways and in many places meetings were held to. Jscuss the Pla?. of, action. Some of them were very radical, especially the Omaha men; who declare that to morrow will see the matter settled or the rail roads will be forced to recede from their position. There is serious talk in labor circles of ordering a general strike to ' ting serious and business men serious and business men of that city have taken a hand in the matter. They say that the large crowds of Omalia men crowding their streets is having an injurious effect on their business. They also claim they are injured by the taking off of trains which pass Weston, the place where the army is now camped, which was done as a precautionary measure by the railroad officials. They have demanded of Governor Jackson that he do something to end the busi ness, 'and they specially request that he take steps to keep the Omaha laborers at home. There is a multiplicity of rumors afloat as to wnat means will oe tafcen to get Kelly's command eastward. There would be no difficulty in obtaining trans portation for them by river to Kansas City, but Kelly himself declines to take that route except as a last resort. He sticks to the hope that some of the rail roads will eyentually provide him with a train. His pro visions were exhausted to day and the suspension of trains upon the roads passing Weston makes that fact the more serious, as help cannot be obtained from Omaha sympathizers. Gen. Kelly to-day issued the following proclamation: "I desire to deny most particularly that the industrial army has been connected with any attempt to cap ture a train. A Frightful Railroad Accident. Willi amsport, Penn., - April 21. A frightful accident occurred at 9 o'clock this morning on the line of the Williams- port and North Branch railroad near Pennsdale, in which Miss Miriam Welsh, daughter of General Manager Welsh, of tne rauroao, was instanuy Kiiiea anu ij. P. McClentlan and Miss Bailey were fatally injured. The wreck was caused by a rear-end collision. A passenger coach had been attached to the rear end of a freight train. Ah engine had been sent from Hughesville to meet Manager Welsh at Halls. The engine struck the passenger coach tearing it to splinters. There were six passengers m tne coacn, but the other three jumped. Mr. Mc Clentlan and Miss Welsh were to have been married next Thursday. John Hester the engineer of the single loco motive was responsible for the accident. Reports ot'Damage by the Earthquake Athens. Greece, April 21. Reports, reaching: here slowly from the districts which were shaken by the earthquake yesterday, snow mat tne suocks were most seveie and tne damage done was much greater than at first supposed.

My ON THE ANXIOUS BENCH. : ; ' POLITICIANS BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THJ3 DEEP SEA- Congressmen Desire ua or an Eirly Ad journment so as to Explain to Their Constituents Their Vote on the Silver Question Afraid to Desert Their Posts for the Purpose Preprationsfor Coxey'sArmy. v asken-gtox, April 21. An earl v ly atl journment of Congress is regarded as a political necessity by many members of the House and especially by those from the South who voted for the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase act. Some of these gentlemen have already been apprised of the fact that their opponents at home are endeavoring to secure their defeat because of their position on that measure. Members who voted thus and who represent outlying or what is known in the South as 'piney woods districts' are having the most trouble. They com plain that the isolation of their constitu ents puts them beyond-the rach of the great daily newspapers and other vehi cles of thought which have a tendency to educate and liberalize the masses. Undersuch circumstances-it is impossi ble satLsfaetori y to explain their position except by a careful canvass of the dis trict. At this point they are con fronted by a new difficulty. If they leave Wash ington while Congress is in ses sion thev will be accussed of neglecting their pub lic duties for personal reasons, ' while on the other hand if the session be prolonged until August or September, the interven ing time will be too short to neutralize -the opposition by a series of personal ex planations from the stump. As one of these gentlemen expressed it to-day, 4 'We are between the devil and the deep sea and the only thing that will save, our political scalps is an adjournment riot later than July 1st." - Sergeant-at-Arms Snow, of the House cf Representatives, is arranging his plans for the reception of the Coxey its No attempt will be made to interfere with the privileges of these men as American citizens at the Capitol. They will be allowed to come and go as other citizens are, but the rules will be strictly en forced in other particulars. For ex ample, no idling will be allowed in the corridors. They will be expected to keepmov ng. No speech making will be tolerated either within the Capitol building or on the steps or in the grounds surrounding the Capitol. Whenever the corridors become congested with an overflow of people, they will be cleared. It is to avoid this congestion that every body will be instructed to "move on" while the city is filled with strangers, as a result of the Coxey move ment. The same arrangement will be made regarding tne galleries. No more occupants will be allowed in the galler ies, there will be no overcrowding as was the case in January last when the Tariff bill was passed, and when the density of the crowd nearly resulted in pushing the big clock, which hangs over the north entrance to the House, down on the hea.ls of the people on the floor beneath. It has been suggested that en trance to the galleries for the next few weeks be limited to the holders of cards -of admission, as a further view of pre venting overcrowding. The suggestion may yet be adopted, but at present it ia held in abeyance. CoL Snow has had several con fere nces - with Col. Moore, the chief of police Col. Snow believes that the Capitol police are sufficiently numerous to preserve or der, but arrangements have been made -to increase the force materially and upon short notice, if any additional men be needed. There will be no extra force of city police about the Capitol, except such as would necessarily be asked for on oc casions of great public interest and when additional help is needed to keep pas sageways clear and to restrict the erowds to a wrtaihtcompass. The whole police, however, will be kept in readiness for any emergency that may exist. General Ordway, who is the com mander of the several thousand militia men in the District, is co-operating with the chief of police and theoflicials at the Capitolj and his men will also be ready to be utilized if their services are de manded. Notwithstanding these precau tions the impression prevails that no dis orderly conduct will follow the advent of the Coxey forces. The general expec tation is that the men will behave them selves, and after their petition has been laid before the two Houses of Congress, that they will, to quote the language of Col. Redstone, Coxey's local representa tive, "melt away in a day." , , Mike Ryan Knocked Out, Memphis, Tenn., April 21. Before the Pastime Athletic club to-night Danny Needham knocked out Mike Ryan in the second round of a finish fight. It was Needham's first appearance in the ring; since he injured ma wrist about two years ago. The men weighed 150 pounds each. Ryan was a wicked rusher, but was no match for Needham in point of science. The fight was for a purse of $1,000 aside. ID) fibril KSMMI "4
