The Fighting Editor of the Virginia n
Gets in His Work.
Norfolk, Va., June 1 A personal encoun
ter occurred at noon to-day in the editorial
rooms of the Mrginian, between Editor
Michael Glennan and Maj, D. y Humphreys,
a prominent insurance man' and prohibi
tionist leader of this city The difficulty
grew out of a personal card printed in this
morning's Virginian signed by Mr. John
Whitehead, city editor of the Virginian,
which was in reply to a personal attack
make opon him by Mai. Humphreys through
the columnsof the Pilot yesterday. Ma
Humphreys rushed into the Virginian, of
&ce, excitedly waving in his hand a copy
of the Virginian and demanded to know of
Mr. Glennan if the latter authorized the
printing of Mr. Whitehead's ;"scurrilous
attack." Upon receiving an affirmative
reply the major struck Mr. Glennan, where
upoa the latter responded in kind, when
both gentlemen clinched and Maj. Hum
phreys was struck several severe blows in
the face by Mr. Glennan, before the two
men were separated by the local editor.
The affair caused a decided sensation, but
no further trouble is apprehended,

Messenger Bureau,
Raleigh, June 1. f .
Dr. G. L.. Kirby, superintendent of the
insane asylum here, will leave next Tues.
day for Denver, Colorado, to attend the an nual
meeting of asylum superintendents.
Neither Dr. Murphy nor Dr. Miller will be
able to attend.
There are now 342 patients in the insane
aslum. They are crowded, but this will be
the case only for a few days, as the new
building will be thrown 'open next week .
Then forty-five more will be received, the
capacity of the new building being seventy -five.
Almost a year ago this addition was
completed, but it required a legislative ap
propriation to make it ready for use, furnish
it, etc.
Last night the street cars were packed
with people on their way to the two parks ,
in search of coolness. There were hun' -dreds
at Pullen park, where the bathing
pool was especially popular. On the lovely
and spacious lawn at the Agricultural and
Mechanical college there was a4arge lawn
party! and the scene was a very attractive
one. All the buildings were bright with
electricity. The advance guard of visitors
to the State -university's centennial com
mencement left to-day. To-morrow the
baccalaureate sermon will be preached.
Travel is heavy on all the railways. It is
the comencement season, and a tide of peo-
Ele from the various colleges and schools
ave f or two weeks flowed steadily through
this city.
The "Arrington triangle," otherwise,
committeemen, after all, meets again in the
near future. It has employed Thomas R.
Purnell, Esq., as its attorney. "Associate
Justice" Campbell writes from his home in
far away Cherokee that he is coming just
as soon as "Chief Justice" Bryan, of
Chatham, calls the court together. Mrs.
Arrington says that if the court does not
meet soon she knows a way to compel it to
assemble and transact business. She does
not name the way.
. It is with special pleasure that the many '
friends of Capt. James Maglenn learn of his
reinstatement as master mechanic at the
Seaboard Air Line shops here. He filled
this position ably, but some months ago was
removed, for. what reason the public never
knew.
Deputy Revenue Collectors Wiley Jones
and J. H. Shelburn made a raid in this coun
ty yesterday, hot as was the weather, and
captured a 45-gallon illicit distillery. They
failed to find the moonshiners who owned
it.
The intensely hot weather continues and
causes a good deal of suffering. Yesterday
afternoon a man named Cards, employed at
the Seaboard Air Line shops as moulder, was
prostrated. Two or three carpenters and four
roofers were also affected by the fierce heat.
The mercury in the sun rose to 130. To-day
the hea began its work early, as if trying to
see if it could not beat yesterday's big record
of 98 degrees. The "weather sharps" say
"we are badly behind in hot weather and
will haye a piping hot summer." It is a
season of rejoicing for the summer resort
managers. Cotton and corn are already be
ing injuriously affected.
For seven or eight years the Merchants'
National bank of Richmond, Va., has been
the designated depository of this reyenue
district, but the special agent who was here
recommends that a Charlotte bank be desig
nated. -
There was plenty of inquiry to-day as to
why Minister Ransom is returning so
quickly from Mexico. Some said he was
bilious, others hinted at a portfolio in Presi-,
dent Cleveland's Cabinet. The Ransom
men hope the biggest sort of honor will fall
to him, namely the position of Secretary of
State; while the anti-Ransom men express
their regrets that he does not stay in Mexico
or in any other foreign country as they
wish to see him completelyjehminated from
North Carolina politics.
E. R. Brinkley of Toisnotand S. L. Ross,
of Robesonville, are appointed notaries

forming him of tne death at warrenton of
Mr. James Somerville, a nephew of Mrs.
Carr. . .
The United States Circuit court adjourned
to-day, to the immense satisfaction of all
parties concerned as well as of the general
public. Raleigh has had this week a heavy
overdose of moonshiners. . The court met
last Tuesday and in four days it gave these
heavy punishment. Today the civil and
equity dockets were called. The court room
has been intensely hot and Judge Seymour
and the clerks and. attaches suffered greatly.
Deputy Clerk Royster was nearly prostrated.
The moonshiners are great seekers of shade
and cannot stand much heat. Their ways

is paid a special compliment in being desig
nated as one of the nine speakers at the
great annual meeting of the National Edu
cational association at Denver, Colo.,.July
13th. Of these speakers only two are from
the South, the other being Chancellor Payne,
of Tennessee. The subject assigned Capt.
Denson is "The Study of American History
as an Incentive to Good Citizenship." The
association has 15,000 members.
Maj. Wilson, chairman of the railway
commission, tells me the grading on the
railway from Henderson ville to Brevard is
practically completed, and that rapid prog
ress is being made in laying track, which
by July 1st will be finished. This road will
open one of the most beautiful and fertile
farming regions in all the State.

to-day and then the home team jumped on
Rhines' delivery for five singles and a
double in succession,' which earned four
runs. Bannon's home run in the seventh,
with a .nan on first, turned the tide in Bos
ton's favor. The ball cleared the right-field
fence back of the 25-cent seats. It was one
of the longest hits seep on the grounds for

morning State Constable Duncan and the
former chief of the constabulary force in
the upper portion of the State, J. B. Work -
man, had a fatal shooting affray. Work
man was a desperate man. He charged
Duncan with being the cause of his remoyal
from the force. The lie passed and it is said
Workman fired the first shot. Workman
was killed, but not until Duncan was
brought down by two bullets in his hips.
He is not thought to be fatally injured.
There has been bad blood between Work

I News of In
terest. , London, June 1 The decision arrived at
by the Cabinet to resolutely continue the
Government bills in the House of Commons
until autumn, no matter how small the
Liberal majority be, is chiefljr due to the
desperate position of the party through its
xmpreparedness for a general election. The
latest report of the executive committee of
the Liberal Federation shows that there are
still from 60 to 70 constituencies that have
hitherto been contested for the Liberals that
are without suitable candidates. There are
plenty of men offering to stand, but they
would require the aid of the party purse,
and they lack the local influence or general
reputation that would give their candidacy
a chance of success. A drain upon the funds
of the party is inevitable, and the wealthier
Liberals are again subscribing freely.
The business of the House of Commons
has been so arranged for after the Whit
suntide holidays that the Local Veto bill,
the stumbling stone in the pathway of the
Government, will be thrown back until the
end of Julyi If the supporters of the Local
Veto measure persist in putting it in the
front rank i a general party conference will
be summoned to decide upon the course to
be followed.
The Unionists are eager to force the disso
lution of the House. They talk of moving a
vote of want of confidence in the Govern
ment's soon as the House resumes business,
but the impatience of the rank and file is
controlled by the leaders, who continuing
confident of the defeat of the Government
on the Local Veto bill, are willing to wait
until July before they attempt to overthrow
t2i6 Xinistry
v The Liberals will enter the electoral cam
paign, expecting to be defeated. The Un
ionists, who feel assured of a majority in
the next House, are already discussing the
composition of the next Cabinet. It is al
most -certain that there will be startling
changes from the last Unionist Ministry.
JSazrulla Khan the second son of the
Araeer of Afghanistan, who is now visiting
England, is not a social success. When he
makes visits, accompanied by some of the
members of his suite, he becomes a social

which it appears, they were then allowed to
follow if they could escape the observant
eyes of their hosts. According to the Af-,
ghan idea, this plate was intended as a pres
ent! to Nazrulla Khan, and his followers
therefore felt themselves to be at liberty to
appropriate it to their own use. Nazrulla
Kuan can use a knife and fork in'eating,
but he prefers to use his fingers, disdaining
to use the table 4mPlements of civiliza

and at eyery opportunity he hands to his
master a pipe loaded with tobacco strongly
charged with opium. The dignity of the
Afghan Prince-approaches sulkiness. He is
greatly amazed by the position held by
ladies in societyhere, and refuses to b
reconciled thereto. At Lady Tweedmouths
party, where he first saw a large gathering
of ladies, he refused to go into the drawing
room and declined to give Lady Lansdowne
his arm in going into the supper room. He
scanned Lady Lansdowne attentively and
then marched several paces in front of her
into the supper room, Lady Lansdowne fol
lowing, half amazed, half indignant. In,
his audience with the Queen, Nazrulla
Khan spoke in broken French, the Queen
helping him now and then with a timely
word. He afterwards expressed amazement
at overhearing Her Majesty speaking Hindu
to her attendant, Munshi Addulkarim.

More Passengers Res
cued. San Francisco, (June 1 The Examiner
publishes this morning the following from
its correspondent at Mazatlan: j
"The steamer San Juan has arrived here
with twenty-one passengers picked up on
Tuesday from the j wreck of the steamer
Colima. From the passengers your corre
spondent has learned of the particulars of the
dreadful disaster, which they say happened
on Monday at noon, when the Colima was
about forty-eight miles out of Manzanillo
and ten off shore. All the rescued are badly
bruised. They were all picked up from
pieces of wreckage and rafts, with the ex
ception of A. J. Sutherland, who had clung
to a boat after it had capsized five times and
drowned all the others who attempted to
escape from the jvreck in her. All were
afloat lashed by the fiercest gale of years and
buffeted, by the angry seas for about
twenty-four hours. j
"The steamer was heavily laden and had
a large deck load of lumber. When the
storm struck her she made bad weather of
u, ine captain naving great aimcuity in
keeping her head to the sea. The wind in
creased in fury until it is said to have been
the fiercest storm known along this coast in
twenty years. The sea rose rapidly. Water
was head over the vessel and started the
deck load. As the waves rose and the
storm increased the management of the
steamer became impossible. One of the
seas, a mighty wave, struck her with such
force that the beams trembled as if she had
struck on a reef and most of the passengers
thought this the cause of the shock. I '
"The passengers were pretty badly
stunned by being pitched about, but rushed
up on the deck in j a panic, Here they met
another danger. The gale tore parts of the
deck load of lumber . from its fastenings
and whirled the heayy planks about with
appalling violence. Many were struck and
maimed. At least one passenger was killed
by having his head crushed by flying tim
bers. The survivors say that the officers of
the steamer were brave and active in this
crisis.
"Capt. Taylor stood upon the bridge with
Chief Officer Griffiths. At an order Grif
fiths ran forward to superintend the launch
ing of life boat No, 5, while Second Officer
Langhorn was in charge of boat No. 3. The
latter was successfully launched and filled
with passengers. Then the ship went down
and Langhorn' s boat was capsized. All in
both boats are supposed to have perishedj
"Capt. Taylor went down with Che vessel,
and as the vessel sank he blew three blasts
of the whistle as ta good-bye signal. The
engineers and firemen went down at their
posts. Night Clerk Berry was in his room
and went down with the vessel. Third offi
cer Hanson was among the saved. He
sprang from the ship as it went down and
succeeded in reaching a piece of wreckage.
There he clung for twenty-four hours,
washed, and buffeted by the waves. He saw
men and women sink about him and was
powerless to render aid. He saw naked and
mangled bodies floatingby, and the horror
ox it made him sick; Hanson says that as
' Tne Snn's Cotton Review.
New York, May 25 The Sun's cotton re
view says: Cotton fell 9 to 12 points, and
closed easy, with sales of 119,300 bales,
There was a holiday in Liverpool. Spot
cotton here was l-16c lower, with no sales.
The weather at the South was generally
clear and warm. New Orleans showed more
weakness than New York and fell 16 to 17
points. The Liverpool market is closed for
the Whitsuntide holidays.
One firm said: "The best illustration of
the spot market condition in America is
that New Orleans, at the threshold of the
cotton producing country, with her 150,000
bales of cotton in stock, has practically cor
nered June. July and August, and August
there is likly to sell above August in New
York."
Yesterday in New Orleans August was
only 4 points lower than August in New
York. North Carolina's acreage is estimated
at 25 per cent less than last year. Texas and
Louisiana crop advices are unfavorable.
During the past week 35,142 bales came in
sight, against 16,811 in the same week last
year with total in sight of 9,553,393 bales,
against 7,243,627 at this time last season'
To-day's features were: Clear and warmer
weather in most parts of the cotton belt,
together with considerable long liquidation
for local and Southern account, and a sharp
break in New Orleans, where there is less
said about an impending corner, led to a de
cline here, and the market closed at the
lowest figure of the day. The weather has
been warmer and .fair for several days in
most parts of the cotton belt, but copious
rains were again reported in Texas, where
they were not wanted, and Texas is of course
one of the most important of the cotton
States. Furthermore, rain is wanted in
