. to the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 8 The President
to-day sent to the Senate the following
fiommations: Rufus W. Peckham. of
York, to be A ssociate Justice of the
8upreme court of the United States:
Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, to be
Secretary of State, and Judson Harmon,
Ohio, to be Attorney General.
Mr. Livingstone believes that his prop-
eition i roviding for a Congressional com-
to investigate the Venezuelan
question will meet
a hearty responsiVe-
ness' on the part of Congress. He says
the joint committee may bold its sessions
in Washington and that he, himself, has
in his possession all the data necessary
for a thorough investigation of the dis
putes. He also has, he says, a copy of a
letter sent by the London Foreign Office
to the Colonial Secretary .of British
Guiana away back n 1840, in which the
British Premur gives notice to the Brit
ish subj cts in thn c lony that thy must
not cross the Uruan riv. r, and if so that
the hom Government would not be re
sponsible for the cons quences.
The obviou9 construction to be placed
upon this letter, Mr Livingstone says, is
that Her Majefty's Government at the
time desired to prevent any further en
croachments by British tubj-cts upon
American soil. Since that time Gret
Britain has projected her boundaries 300
miles to the west. This, Mr. 'Livingstone
MBserta, is a most flagrant violation of the
Monroe d otrine, and it is for this reason
th-it the United States mu-t intervene
H-suggests that- the joint committee
shall extend a courteo us invitation to
he Bri i.h Ambassador, Sir Julian
P-iunceforte.md tot.he Venezuelan Min
ister to appear before them and to fur
nish the committee with official state
'nents . representing (heir own point of
view.
"And the British Ambassador, sup-
pese he declines to attend what then r
he was ssked.
"What then?"' queried the Georgia
Representative, quickly, "Why well o
ahead without him. lh rights of tbi
Government are concerned in this mat
ter Hnd it is our duty to see that they
are orooerlv protected no matter what
obstaclt s are thrown io our path "
"Suppose," it was suggested, "that
this committee finds the Venezuelan con
tention to be true; that Great Britain has
been encroaching upon her territory for
half a century, what then will Congress
Congress," replied Mr, Livingstone.
significantly, "knows what it ought to
do and will do it " ,
Will Corgreps go to the extent of de-
Caring war ngtinst ureat oritain ii en
rt. e not renounce the territory in ques
tion?"
Ves sir. Congress will. I believe that
two thirds of the Republicans in this
House would favor such a course and I
know that all the Democrats will. And
I am satisfied that the same sentiment
exiHts in the Senate "

SHERIFF TAMfcEN'S TBIAL
PorEacape of tb Poatoffioe Bobbers.
Remarkable Story of Witness
Vosburcb tbe Confidence Man.
New York, Dec. 8 After many ad
journments, the trial of one riff Edward
H. T am sen, who was indicted in Au
gust for carelessness and incompetency
in permitting the three postoffice burg
lars, Killoran, Russell and Allen, to es
cape from Ludlow Street jail, on July
4th, b -gan to-day.
The most important witness against
tbe sheriff will be old Bill Voeburgh, the
onfidence man and all-round crook,
who will tell the jury at the proper time
just, how the escape of the
poHtomce thieves was effected. Trie
story told by Vosburgh to the
district attorney is a remarkable
one. The old man is the father in-law of
Russell, who is now under arrest in Bel
gium awaiting extradition. He visited
the jail in the capacity of a preacher.
It was he that suggested to the trio to be
i-havfd so as to thwart recognition when
arraigned b fore United States Commis
sioner Shields -
"I was told," he said, "by Rusvll and
the others that the guys in the prison
were soft marks, and, if a couple of
guns could be sneaked into them, they
would do the rest. I got the guns, and
they did the rest It was plain sailing
for , me. I was o good terms with
Raabe and the keepers, and thev never
searched me when I went in. When the
three got out, they of course came to
me. I found a place for them until the
excitement blew over "
Senator Lodge's 91 on roe Doctrine
Resolutions.
Washington. Dec. 8 Following is the
text of the Monroe doctrine resolution
introduced in the Senate td day by Sen
ator Lodge of Massachusetts, and re
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Re
lations :
Resolved, By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That
ttie Congress of the United States deem
it proper to assert, as a principle m
which the rights and interests of the
Uaited States are involved that the
American Continent by the free and in
dependent conditio which they have
assumed and maintained, are henceforth
not to be considered as subjects for
future colonization . by any European
powers , .
Resolved, T hat we should consider any
attempt on their part to extend their
system to any portion of this hemisphere
as iangerous,to our peace ana sarety
With tbe exi ting colonies or dependen
cies of any European power, we have
not interfered and shall not interfere,
but with the Governments who haye-de-clared
their independence and main
tained it nd whose independence we
have on great consideration and on just
principle acknowledged, we could not
view any inf -rposjUon for the purpose of
oppressing them or controlling, in any
o'her manner, their destiny by any Eu
ropean power in any other light than as
the manifestation or an unrnenaiy ais
oosition towards the United States.
Resolved, Chat in .c& rdance with the
doctrines laid down by President Mon
roe, as seated in the preceding resolu
tions, the United States declares that it
propo s to maintain the principle em
bodied in that dcer jue arid vU rejrard
any infringement of it or any attempt n
the part of any European power to tak i
or acquire new territory on the AmeTi
pin Continent, whether under pretence
of bpundarv disputes or otherwise, as an
act or noptiuiy to joe ijniigiti niu.
Resolved. That the President be re
quested to oommunipate these resolutions
to the Governments of all with whom we
have relations of ami'y and commerce.

Jjeld an allrday meeting in this city to?
day for tbe purpose of organizing the
National Bar Iron association, but ad?
journed to-night without reaching a eon
clusion. The movement was not ab&nd
oned and another meeting will be h-ld
shortly at the call of the, executive com
miciwe, One of the reasons why no or
ganization was made to-day was because
the Eastern manufacturers could not see
their way to accepting some of the con
ditins proposed in the agreement sent
out afier the October meeting, Th'S
wavsthe authority of the association to fix

SENATE.
Washington, Dec. 8 The duties of
the United States Government in relation
to affiirs transpiring ia other countries
were the theme of various bills, resolu
tions and memorials presented to the
Senate to-day. The alleged atrocities in
Asia Minor and "the deplorable condi
tion of aff turs in Turkey," were the sab
j'Cts of memorials from the States of
Illinois, New Hampshire and Massachu
setts. The recognition of belligerent
rights in .the Cuban revolutionists 'was
asked "by the cities of Tampa and -St.
Augustine. Fla , and the affirmation of
the principles of the Monroe doctrine
was demanded in joint resolutions in
troduced by Senator Lodge, Republican,
of Massachus ttB. and Senator Cullom.
Republican, of Illinois. Resolutions in
favor of the recognition of Cuban bellig
erency were offered by Senator
Call, Democrat, of Florida, and Senator
Allen, fopulist, of Nebraska, and both
these Senators intend to submit their

was received ard laid before the Senate.
The Secretary of the Senate proceeded
to read the message in the presence of a
rainy lull renate There was ye ry liitle
pretence on the part of the 8er at- at
large that it was paying close attention
to the message or was much interested
in it. There were some exceptions, how.
ever. On the Republican side of the
r-hamber Senators Morrill of Vermont.
Davis of Minnesota, and Burrows of
Michigan held printed copies of the
message in their hands. and
occasionally seemed r to be read
ing it for them8elvss Senator Cock re 11
of Missouri did the same on the De io
cratic side of the chamber Senators
Palmer of Illinois, Morgan of Alabama,
George of Mt-sissippi, and Harris of Ten
nessee were the Only other Democratic
Senators who cou'd ba regarded as at
tentive listeners. Two of the P puiixt
Senators Allen of Nebraska, and P.ftVr
of Kansas did not relax their applica
tion to the message from its opening to
its close ; but they appeared to be more
intent-ely interested in its treatment of
the financial question, its recommenda
tion of the retirement and cancellation
of greenbacks and silver certificates and
its condemnation i f silver coinage.
At 1 :10 o'clock the reading was finished
and the message was Jaid on the table
and ordered printed The message in

WARD, THE SWINDLER
To Reach New Orleans To-Day His
Immense Swindling F very Sby
lock .in Memphis Taken In
by Rim.
New Orleans, Deo. 8 The steamer
City of Dallas will arrive here to-morrow
morning, having es a passenger the em
bezzler, Ward of Memphis. ' He will be
in the custody of Chief of Police Mose
ley, of Memphis, who with Detective
Fernand De Ranee, of this ity, went to
Honduras for the defaulter, for whom a
larg reward was offered. It will be re
membered that Ward got away from
Memphis several weeks ago. leaving a
defalcation which was virlously esti
mated, but all accounts agreed was a
large one Ir- turns out that Ward wbs
argularr Jekyle and Mr. Hyde.
Mr. E. M Holmes, a representative of
the Commercial Appeal, of Memphis, is
here for the purpose of meeti g Wani
and accompany r g him and tbe officers
bak toth Bluff city to-mcrrow evening,
Mr. Holmes sa a that no one has yet
been abl to figure out exactly what sum
Ward has fleeced thepeo leof Memphis
and New York out of, but enough i
kuown te&Bgy that his stealings will
amount to 2"i0,(i00 or more If Ward
had not been so remorseless in swindling
widows, the people of Memphis would
prcb-ibly display some sympathy for the
man who so long enjoyed the respect of
the community. -
Mr Holmes jnists that there ia a par
ticle of consolation at least to be. drawn
out of the Ward deial ation He ex
plains his peculiar statement by saying
that W.-rd touch d every "Shylock" in
the citv of Memphis and some of them
caught it very had. One of the "d-ad
rabtdts" (-ibjlocki-) Was caught for a
number of thousands. Ward promL-ed
th" hylock 80 per cent, for his kindness
The money lender had made such a good
fleece that he concluded that he was
able to tour a little ar d so betook himself
to the balmy climate of California for
the summer. He figured that the interest
on his magnificent investment would
more than pay all expenses. Ward con
cluded that he had better make a little
change for health's sake, too, and calcu
lated that the principal borrowed from
the "shark" would amicably subserve
his mild, st wants, and so left on an ex
tended tour for Honduras. For this loss
ai d others of a like nature it is said that
the good people of Memphis are now ex
tending mu-h sympathy Mr. Holmes
said that the eyenipg before the ab
sconder left he went around town on a
regular borrowing tour aid succeded in
landing a euffi i nt number of fish to the
tune of about $20,000.

Totday's features were i Though early
prices advanced under the influence of
an unexpected rise in Liverpool, an ii 3
.creased spot business there, a more pa

the market' subsequently fell, twmg
partly to rather larg-i estimated receipts
at New Olean- tomorrow (j2,00 to
14,000 bales), partly to dull and d- dining
spot markets and partly to bear hammer
ing, but more tban all to an absence of
outside specuUtive interest in cotton at
the present time. Although the spot
business in Liverpool is large the spot
demand at the South is so small that
prices are declining,' yet the market is
bel eved by its friends to have; a firm un

The Democratic politicians are saying
little these days in this State. They do
not think it a time to talk. All sorts of
changes may take place between now
and next May. The Republicans since
the election last month, have become so
convinced that they can sweep tbe State
alone that many of them are beginning
to think they ought to put op a single
ticket. It is predicted that the Republi
cans will take the lion's share of the
State fusion ticket, and even then con
vince the Populists they are magnani
mous Some of the Democrats ho are
willing to talk a little say they favor a
s-raight ticket by their party without
compromises pr concessions, and declare
that 100,000 Democrats are willing to go
down in defeat under such a ticket
rather than make any compromises. For
it is no secret that some persons have
made proposals to the Democrats. Those
proposals were made late in the summer.
They have been renewed within the pa-t
thirty days, auoh is the news which
comes quite straight. Some Populists
are begin ing to distrust the Republicans
and say they do not like the tone of R-;-publican
State Chairman Holton in the
interview with him published last Sun
day Judge A. W. Graham's daughter ia so
dangerously sick that he cannot hold

Thursday.

number.
The Baptist State convention meets
at Greensboro day after to-morrow, Rev.
D- 1$. H Marsh, of Oxford, presiding.
This' convention embraces all the coun
ties east of the Blue Ridge, and within
its bounds are about 160,000 mem
bers. This evening the annual meeting
of its board of mis-dons was held. Presi
dent John C Scarborough, presiding.
The State board of Agriculture met in
semi-annual session this afternoon, Col.
W. F. Green presiding. During its
meeting all the reports of officers will be
made. The receipts are lees than they
were last year, owing to the large fall
inz r ff in the sales of commercial fertil
izers. '
Several years ago a young white man
here, who was a telegraph lineman, mar
ried a Raleigh girl. To-dav one of the
witnesses attending the United states,
District court made inquiries regarding
the young man and said tb,e latter had
married his daughter. The lineman's
real wife lives h re. Her husband has
been absent several months.
Judge Himonton writes that he will
not be able to be here to sit on the bench
with Judge Seymour at the term of the
United States Circuit court nowin prog
ress Uistrict Attorney Aycock says
that he thinks the court can adjourn in
two weeks. There are at least 450 prin
cipals and witnesses in cases now here
They fairly swarm around the Govern
ment building. The greatest number of
rasss is from Durham county. There
are on an average of four witnesses in
each rase. Tbe Republicans are making
remarks about the prir.ojpa s and wit
nesses and declare that 9 J per cent, of
them are Democrats. This is not true,
for all parties are represented. The
docket this term is even larger than the
notable one in June.
The marriage of a step-brother and
tep efcter in Rowan ccunty is reported.
It is asserted to be the first case 0Q rec

The police at Durham have discovered
three young thieves, aged 12,8 and 7
years, systematic in their stealing. One
of three children, while trying to escape,
fell and broke a leg
The predicted snow storm or tiarry
did not materialize to-day, but ice formed
here.
The silver question ia in all sorts of
things this year. It actually cut a figure
in the deliberations of the North Caro-
ira Methodist conference last week. It
t- claimed by the Democrats that the
Populists are doiig no talking about

month
Some leading 1 Republicans here are
saving openly that while they favor U.
Hiasell for Governor, yet that ne
must "come out from amorg Loge
Harris and Jim Your-g," as they say toe
latter have combined to humiliate them.
