Mine Disaster Treasurer Wortri Sore Over the Coupon Frauds Horrible Disclos ures at the Colored Agri cultural College Cnrlatmas at Rt letgh. Messekgkr Bureau, 1 Raleigh. K O.. Dec, 26. ( The grandest Christmas party ever known in North Carolina occurred yesterday at 'Bi It more House," George Yanderbilt's palace near Asheville. All the Yanderbilts save Mrs Willie K. and the Duchess of Marlborough were there. George Vander- bilt made a speech to 200 of his retainers. There were gifts for all. Then there was a Christmas tree such as one reads of in the fairy stories. Tea private cars, forming two special trains, were required to transport the Yanderbilts, for this christening of Uiltmore was made the occasion of a family reunion. George Yandex bilt is a modest and quiet young man. Here is a little story about him. Not long ago his farm mana ger went to him and said be was about to build a residence. "How much is it tocost,'" queried George. '"Two thousand dollars," was the reply. "Come and talk to me his afternoon," said the young multi-millionaire. When tbe man went George handed him a check for f 10.000. savine "Now vou can build a nice house." At Haw River yesterday a lot of the cotton mill operatives caused a -sensation. They got on a train and refused to pay fare or to get off. The conductor, aided by several men, put them off. They at once drew re volvers and began firing on the train. They were drunk and ujly and all were armed. Arrests will follow, as the men are said to be known- There was a fatal accident at iaw niver yeBteraay, in wnicu a young white man lost his life by the discharge of a revolver As a result of the inquest on the Cumnock mine dead, it is found that an explosion of gas caused the accident, the' cause of the explosion being unknown, and that the mine was in better condition than usual and was well ventilated. Yet some miners testified that the mine was dangerous; that there are no regulations againstopen lamps and that some men "who went to work would only stay a day, as there was so much gas. There are 28 niidows and over 10O fatherless children as a result of the"il3aster. State Treasurer Worth was asked to day whether he woutd cash any canceled cou pons which might be presented him by per sons who in good faith might have bought them from Lawrison, the tramp or any of his associates. .Mr Worth replied that he would not honor a single one of them. ' as was stated, Lawrison himself "-cashed in"a ?20 coupon. He also was paid $2 on another. The treasury people are quitei sore about this coupon businesss and natnrally, so, since there is a good deal of talk 'about the careless manner in which tKe canceling and the burning of coupons were conducted. The exposure by your corrf spondent of the bad states of affairs at the colored Agri cultural and Mechanical college at Greens boro attracts deserved attention'. A letter says that the matter needs to be sifted, and that it is hoped Governor Carr will give the the institution a shaking up. The charges aud . counter changes made by President Crosby and Professor Dellinger, ( both I colored) are of too grave a chareiter to be passeu over; as mey openiy saiu mere was seduction and attempted outrage. A lead ing State official tells me he has heard the I charges. An inquiry is quite sure to be matie. There is much public interest in the ac tion of Attorney General Osborne in the matter of the Alliance suit to annul the lease of the North Carolina railway. John Graham is the man in whose name suit is brought tor rather the preliminary proceeding) The Populists and Alliance men are delighted at tne prospect of the suit. Associate Justice Walter Clark, of the Supreme caurt, left to-day for a month's tour in Mexico, in the course of which he will visit all the States.of the republic Christmas eve therewas a great deal of noise here aud some drunkenness. A gang of seventy five negroes paraded the streets with clubs and herns and would not dis perse until the chief of police ordered them to do so. Yesterday there was a' good deal of drunkenness, particularly among the negroes, but there were no accidents and no fights. There were no fires. The use of firecrackers was on a large scale, and the new dynamite crackers made a great din. There were many parties of maskers. At; the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches, there were elaborate servicr s, also a union Itavice at the First Baptist church. The tomates of the insane asylum, soldiers' home a-td the blind and deaf institutions, also the convicts in the penitentiary, had plenty of good Christmas cheer. The poor were looked after with special care. Tbe weather was springlike ".( temperature 64 degrees) and everybody was outdoors most of the day. TheGapitol and other public buildmes were closed. Nearly all the State officials were out of town Governor Carr will remain in Washington until the end of the week. At the insane asylum there was a notably fine Christmas tree and j)ebratioa Christ mas eve, and your com s.nondent spent a couple of hours there delightfully. There were over soO of the patients, present ana thy were delighted. The tree was a holly, rich-with its scarlet berries, and yas in the octagon in the great hallway on the third fhior. Kroru the dome above swung long draperies of Caraleigh plaids, with flags, etc., and there were great circles stars, etc , of evergreens, wi!,ri the motto "God .Bless Our Home." Kind Dr. Kirby and his wife, and Drs. Faisou and McGeachy and Steward Crawford were untiring in their attentions. The design of the decorations was by Mr. Crawford, and some of the patients as sisted bim. Kach one got a present. Santa Clans distributed the gifts with which the tree was loaded. Mr, Will. Wynne, the well-known bicyclist, gave some work in the contortion linp. It was a happy even ing for the patients. The Farmers' alliance people say they have been trying iiard to get hold of some of the private stock of the North Carolina railroad, but eo far have failed. Your cor respondent heard thirty-five shares offered for aalff, and 120 was offered for it. All the barrooms in this city closed at noon vesterdaj ;n accorcance with an ex- aitotitenstnm nf Rev-ra! vears standing, TSlrs I.ina Hollowell. of uoldsboro, died here to-day of pneumonia, after tea days ' Congressman Stroud, Of this district has to move his residence, as the present one is found to be in Orange and - not in Chatham cmintv. aceordme to a resurvey At the insane asylum last evening the-.e was a grand ball.

Hta Liabilities Not Heavy Tbe Ced . ltora Will Probably Lose a Very '.Small Per Cent. R. at. Nlm mocks Assignee. , . - Special to tne Messenger. t Fayetteville, N. C, Dec. 26 No eyent which has ever happened in Fayetteville is more generally regretted than the.' assign' ment this evening of F. W. Thornton. For years Mr Thornton has been the leading dry-goods merchant in the State. He- has always carried a heavy stock and, Jaas em ployed regularly about thirty-five ladies and gentlemen asclerks. While Mr. Thorn ton has always looked very closely after his business, he has also had time to look after the interests of the town. He is strictly a public spirited man, and the same push and energy which has characterized him aa a merchant he has ever displayed aa the worthy and generous citizen. He has done more for the town than any man who ever lived in it. And now in his misfortune there is but one expression upon tbe lips of every class of citizens, and that is sympa thy. Mr. Thornton's liabilities are not heavy and it is thought that his creditors will lose only a small part . of their claims. It.' M. Nim mocks is the assignee. The assets and liabilities are unknown at this hour 9 o'clock. ANOTHER "STATE COD PON Picked Up in an A mix Heap Teacher' Assembly to Meet in Raleigh. Another Cnt in Rates to ' X Atlanta. '4. (Special to the Messenger. Baleigh, Dec. 26 It is stated on what is claimed to be positive information that the next annual session of. the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly will be he Where in stead of at Morehead City. .It is proposed that it shall be strictly a teachers' meeting, and one for real work. The Seaboard Air Line to-day cut its rate for Atlanta exposition tickets from Baleigh to f I 25. The annual session of the North Carolina Association of Public School Superintend ents met at the Centennial public school here this evening. To morrow there will be a special exhibition of teaching, drawing and manual exercises by Miss Bemis. of Durham, and her class from a public school there. A negro to-day gave a rpoliceman a $30 canceled coupon, one of the lot which were blown out of the State treasury chimney.' The negro said he found it in an ash heap. RUSSIA'S FRIENDSHIP For tbe United States Manifested in an Offer to Loan oar Government Fear Bnndred Million Dol lars in Gold. Biltimore EunO '' Washington, Dec. 25 Great interest was excited in official circles here to-day by the publication in the Washington Post , under a New Y'ork date, of a circumstantial state ment to the effect that the Bustian Govern ment has offered to lend tbe United States any amount of gold up to 1100,000,000 one half of its total possessions of this specie in order to maintain its credit against sf. saults from the great money powers of other European nations, and that, learning of this tender, tne lioihEcnuds, through Messrs. Belmont fc Morgan, had made overtures to let the United States have any amount of goia neecea ine statement, it is learned. is accurate so far as concerns the fact that Kussia tendered the United States a part of ita store of gold, but the natural inference that this offer was a recent one made iu con sequence of the late Venezuelan message and subsequent panic is not warranted, for it may be asserted positively and on excel lent authority that the tender was in no manner influenced by the complications now existing between the United States and Great Britain as the result of tbe negotia tions over the Venezuelan boundary ques tion, and was, in fact, made two years ago. The history of the matter is brief and runs back only to the beginning of the present administration of President Cleve land, soon alter he came into office ror the second time the President was confronted with a rapidly shrinking geld reserve in the Unitgd States treasury and a heavv loss of revenue incident to radical changA in the tariff. This situation resulted in thA United States being asked larger rates thara. usual for any bonds it might wish to noat. Russian Government for ten years hai accumulating gold, in many cases at disadvantage, owing to the .hostility oi ie money lenders of Central and Western rope, ana much ot this gold was pu in the open market by secret agents Kussian Government, t he purpose Was not only to provide a proper reserve in the Kus sian war chest, but also to provide against a contemplated change in the Kussian mone tary system by raising the silver rouble to a parity with gold. The procedure intbls case was similar to that of Secretary Sher man when he accumulated the 100,000,000 gold reserve as a preliminaiy to declaring the treasury ready to redeem in gold tne greenbacks issued during the late war. Taking cognizance ot tne situation oi tne United States Government, with which it alwava had been on terms of the . closest friendship, and between which and itself there were no conflicting interests likely to arise. Secretary Gresham, through Prince Daptacuzene. then Kussian Minister to Washington, was not meet mat nussia stooa ready to.pait with half of her store of gold' if so much were necessary, to the United States in order to protect her old-time friend in the family of nations. This ten der was made about eight mouth after Presi dent Cleveland assumed the presidential of fice for his second term. At the time the offer was gratefully acknowledged, but as the capitalists of other nations gained an inkling to the fact that the tender had been made, it was louna mat tne terms upon which gold could be procured in the open market, as a consequence or Kussia s letter, were so favorable aTs to render it unneces sary to tax the friendship of Bussia. At present, so it ia understood, the Russian of ter Btni holds good, and aoout the only new phase of tbe situation is that this tact has bejn made known freshly to the European gold brokei. Contracts For tbe Battleships Awarded. WAsniNc.o;.yDec. 26 Secretary Herbert to-d8y, with the approval pf the President, awarded thexontract for the construction of battleships No. 5 and No. C (the Keaisage and her unnamed mate) to the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company of fcewFortMews, va., at its ma oi fz,ioo, 000 for building each ship according to olans Drepared by the Navy Department. The Secretary closes a long communication to the president, setting tortn nis reasons ior taking mm course msteal of awarding one to San Francisco ai a greatly increased cost, or accepting the proposition of the Cramps, as follows: ' -. ' ' ' '- ' - "To me it seems clear that the department cannot undertake to say that a bid by a responsible and competent company, fairly made after due considerations, is lower than a fair price for such work. This company is bidding not,only for one of these ships but for both, and it insists upon its right to" build both. For the Government to reject the bid under the circumstances and insist upon pcyins a hiLer rrrine for the ships or for one of them, to ba built" uiaewudre, cn any such ground as that the bid of the New uOri ews Company w ueiow mo mantel, price? wouid bo c rynnoua po'icy.

A Steamer hnnk In Collision. Paris, Dec. 26 A dispatch to the Figaro from Algers says that by the sinking of the French steamer Emile-Heloiss yesterday throuen being run down . by the British steamer Belierophon, thirty of her passen gers were drowned instead of f oar. as at Brat said. Twenty-five of the persons drowned were satires Algerians. WILMINGTON, ! ALL OVER THE -STATE. ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM A STAFF CORP E SPONDENT. The Sand Danea on the Coast 111 "Will Against Ensjland'Jadse 1 Clark's Jlemoirs of Napoleon, Political Chat The State's - Effective Military Force. Foot Ball Consul General Jernigan. Acetylene Plants 3taff Correspoafence . - KalekJui, Dec. 26. In the course of - much 4journey ing over the 8tate one of the queerest things your correspondent has discovered are what may be termed the "filled in sounds" which lie to the south of Southport. Once these were fine sheets-of water. Now the sand, cease lessly blown from the seashore, has nearly filled them. This sand drift is visible. There are bottomless quagmires and quick sands which are death-traps. Now there are lakes of marvelously transparent water, some of these being in shape like perfect bowls. The alligatois "are numerous and make their appearance earlier ' than any where else in the State. In the spring the snipe go to these queer marshes in such numbers as to exceed belief. Another sight in that part of the Stale is the destruction of forests on Bald Head island. This is effected on the one hand by water and on the other by sand. Nowhere can the formation of the sand dunes or hills be better seen. . There is a long slope from the sea side, up which the sand is driven by a favoring breeze, and the crest of this great sand wave is just among the live oaks and palmettoes. Then there is a sharp slope of 43 degrees, down which the sand is always softly sliding, aa insidious as a snake, wrap ping in the unbrace of death the stately trees and the humble shrubs alike. Stand ing in the woods, rich with evergreen foliage and looking seaward there is the long wall of white and shining sand, nearly dust like in its fineness. Col A B. Andrews is a railway man who illustrates to the fail indomitable energy and push. He is a vital force in North Car olina and has been any time these twenty years. Yet he is a mode-t man. He cuts no figure at gatherings which are. not of a busines nature or else have a social feature. Like Gem Boke, be does not attend re unions and that sort of thing, lfs activity is amazing. Just after the war - ended he established himself at Gaston, on the Ba leigh and Gaston railway, and managed the ferry. The first money he earned was $2, and this he has always carried in his pocket. How high he has climbed since he ferried passengers across the muddy and wide Koanoke! And yet high as he has risen in the railroad world the end is not yet. His wealth is now estimated iu the six figures. The publication of the facts relative to North Carolina's cotton mills has had a far-reaching effect for good and will be re sultf ul There is talk of an advance all along the line in 1896. There is to be no falling off in the building of mills, in the enlargement of old plants and the replacing or old machinery with new. There is plenty of ill will against England in this great country of ours. Northern people haye a long-standing grudge. So have tbe Southern people, too, for they think England in some respects played them fast and loose and speculated on them in 1S61 65. But there will be no war. England will submit to arbitration. It Is an old story. Of course England is a mili tary nation. This is not to naturally, but armed men and terrible devices of war spring up - quickly in this wonderful America. ' Judge Walter Clark's translation of the memoir8of Napoleon the Grand, by his valet Constant, is clever, and lifts a veil which has partially hidden tbe conqueror. The book from which the translation is made is rare, and Scribners, as soon as they discovered that Merriam would issue the Clark translation, got out another. It was a sharp trick Judge Clark gets a stipulated price for tbe translation, not a royalty. Vhen a man aspires how many of his quondam friends fall away from bim. There's Daniel L. Russell, avowed candidate for the position of Governor if the Repub licans can give it to him. -Some of his in timates a few days ago intimated that he had a ''cinch" on it. Yet a day or so since James M. Moody, who glanced at Russell as the latter walked into the i arboro. com pared him to a shooting star which goes sizz" through the atmosphere and which fails "kerchunk." Shooting stars indeed are all these eary birds who aspire to the One of the foremost Populists in this State saidto-dav; "You hear tne talk of the Re publicans, through Chairman Holton their spokesman, that they have three-fourths of us now in, their uniforms and will utilize the other one fourth. Does not Mr. Holton know, andrOthers too. that if the .Republi cans put dp a straight ticket in North Caro lina the i'opuiists will yote with the Demo crats?" Is this a case of pure bluff or has it any other meaning?. it Governor oarr had a call for troops he old put at once about 2,000 men in the Id, this including a battalion of IN aval serves: a troop of cavalry and four reei- ments of infantry The latter have the cali bre 4o nne, together with two uniforms, and overcoats and blankets, also tentage, etc. The Naval Reserves haye a Gatling, a 3- pounder Hotchkiss gun and six howitzers. No doubt in twenty days the number of men could be doubled, as already drilled men would rally to the colors upon call. A college president in this state says it is idle to "kick" against foot ball: that the game is here to stay, and that even the sec ond class colleges have teams. "Don't fight the game," he added, 'it is no use.'' But is the game not liked mainly for two reasons chiefly its brutality and the fact that public sentiment is so jarcreiy against it i Asia candid-spoken school Doy, and mark hia reply. That is the test. There has been much talk, and all of it in the way of praise, of Mr. Thomas R. Jernigan's management of American affairs at Shanghai. His work in saving ' lives there is worth, notice. He saved many Japanese from Chinese butchery. He should have been allowed to witness the trial of the two Japanese students who were upon a pledge of fairness turned over to the Chinese. He was instructed to pro tect Japanese interests at Shanghai, and he meant to protect them, and bo defied the Chinese, single-handed and alone, for six weefcs.defeating China's sanguinary pur pose to arrest and behead Japanese at Shang hai and other ports, by sending more than 2,000 Japanese to Japan before he obeyed the peremptory order of our Goyernment to surrender the two students. The extreme lowness of many of the streams is one of the remarkable features of 1895. It is yet so, and on some the water mills can run only on part time. The building of good roads has become more active this year than ever before. Road machinery is being purchased, and the outlook for further progress ia very en couraging. The Agricultural Pepartment after the close of tne Atlanta exposition, now to neas at hand, will make a great many additionr and improvements at the State museum, the finest object lesson of its kind in the South. In the windows will be placed the beautiful transparent photographs on glass, twenty four inches square, the work of that master artiot, Mr. tUlleis, of the United States geological survey, and of Professor Holmes. It is of more than paps'ing interest to note the feeling in ISorth Carolina in favor of Cuban independence. It ia the belief of a great many persons that this country will eventually annex Cuba. If there is any sort oi a war annexation will quietly iollow, and so will the annexation of Canada. Maj. J.

' Washikgton, Dec. 26-t-By a yote of 205 to 81 the House at 5:30 o'clock passed the bill reported by Mr. Dingley from the Commit tee on Ways and Means, to temporarily in crease the revenue to meet the expenses of the Government anfl to provide against a deficiency. The bl was reported to the House immediately f ter the reading of the journahand then Mri Henderson reported a resolution from thi Committee on Eules, providing for debats on the bill until 5 o clock, a vote to be then taken on its pas sage. In anticipation of this programme the galleries were crowded to the doors, even the diplomatic gallety being occupied by a representation of (the official foreign colonies residing in Washington. On toe floor were over 3(1) members of the House, and interspeeed am&ng them sev eral Senators. The rile was antagonized by Messrs Crisp, McMillin, and Turner of Georgia, on the ground that it afforded no opportunity for amendment and not suffi cient time for debate, and was advocated by Messrs. Dalzell and Henderson, who argued that the situation admitted of no delay. It was finally passed) yeas 213, nays 85. Several Jfepnhliomr were recorded as voting against its passage. When this had been disposed of there re mained three and a half hours for the dis cussion of the bill ittelf. The debate was participated in for Jthe Republicans by Messrs. Dingley. Dafeell, Hopkins, Gros venor, Arnold, Knox j and Dolliver in Sup port of the bill, and by Messrs. Crisp, Wheeler, McMillin, Dockery and Turner, Democrats, and Bell, Populist, against the bill. - Tbe opposition was based on the theory that the remedy proposed an increase of revenue was not wbatr waa needed, that there was money enough ffl the treasury to meet all claims for two 'or three years to come, even if the present rate of deficit were maintained. It was also contended that the bill was a general revision of the tariff. The Republicans insisted that more reve nue was the key of the situation and de nied that tbe bill was in, any . sense a general tariff measure. It did not repres ent Republican -ideas on that subject at all, was intended only as a temporary revenue measure to meet a press- ng exigency, and its passage was advocated on tbe high ground of patriotic duty in the hour of the republic's peril. The measure having been disposed of, a joint resolution was passed, offered by Mr. Cannon. Republican, of Utah, providing for the transfer of territorial property 5 to the new State. -f At 5:40 o'clock the House 'adjourned nnt ill to-morrow. . In arguing the Tariff bill, Mtjprisp ssid that the bill, in order to be responsive to the request of the President, ought to be in line with the suggestions that came from that source. He insisted, from Secretary Carlisle's report, that the cash balance in tbe treasury on December 1.16!5, was f 170,000,OC0, being $9S, 000,000 in excess of the gold reserve and $77,000 000 in excess of any sums necessary to build up the gold reserve,; There was therefore, quoting Mr. Carlisle "No reason to doubt the ability of tne Government to discbarge all its current obligations during the present fiscal year, and have a large cash balance at its close, without imposing auui,io;iai ihabuuu iu any lurm uu me people." i Hi friend from Maine (Mr. Ding ley) knew no one better that there was in the treasury to day," over and beyend the gold reserve, more free money three times over man any uencienccy which mignt ocenr during the fiscal year. It was not a question ot borrowing money to meet expenses. The money was al ready borrowed and was in the treasury and the question was whether it should be used now, or whether the House should rush, post-haste, to impose additional burdens on the people in order to pile up money in the treasury. 1 Mr. Crisp went on tt taunt the Commi tee on Ways and Means with reporting a bill for horizontal rise ot duties after all the ridicule which had been cast on Mr. Mor rison's bill for a horizontal cut: and he said hat the effect of the pending measure was to declare that the McKiniey Taritt act was 60 per cent right and 40 per cent, wrong. He quoted Mr. Aiciviniey s criticism ot tne Morrison bill as patch work and a proof of indolence, and said that on the issue of the pending measure the parties would go before the people in the next r residential campain and he had uo doubt that the peo ple would respond, as they had always re ponded, in favor of themselves that was, for lower taxes. Mr. Fayne, a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, said that the Repub licans in the Hou?e, being ready to meet the responsibility which was on them to-day, had presented a bill to increase the revenue. Two years from now, however, they would meet the responsibility of that hour and would present to the House and Senate and to a Republican President a bill for the pro tection of American labor and American agriculture, and would write it $n the stat ute book. - j"J Mr. McMillin, Democrat; of Tennessee, a member of the Committee on Ways and Means argued against the bill and re minded tbe Republican side of the House of the wise warning given by the present Speaker in the Republican caucus which nominated him.' in these words: "History will accord us praise for what we did in the Fifty-first Congress; and it may accord us praise in this Congress for what we do not do" What the House Vas doing to day was one of the things to which that warn ing was applicable;, and the country would give them more praise for abstinence than for continuance in such a course. The discussion was e ded for the oppo nents of the bill by Mr. Turner, of Geor gia. The administration of President Har rison, he said, came into power with a sur plus in the treasury over the gold reserve of 5243,000,000. It turned over to the present administration four years later a surplus of $62,000,000 of which 54,000,000 belonged to the fund deposited in the treasury for the redemption of greenbacks. The Secretary c .. -p i .... i .i i i y u l ttic iieoouj.r uau pjui-useu, aa nuts uvvii stated, to issue bonds to protect the gold re serve and to meet deficiencies in revenue. It was under these embarrassing conditions the Democrats returned to power in 1893. That party said the remedy for that situa tion was not to raise taxes, but to lower them, and it went forward courageously ana passed a law putting tnat prin ciple into operation. Under that bill wages went up from ew England to Cali fornia and exportations from the United States had actually increased. Tbe defeat of the income tax, Mr. Turner said, caused a deficit in receipts, but there was no deficit, he contended, in the treasury. By the re port of the secretary it was shown that there are over $170,000,000 in the treasury, includ ing gold reserve. "Why should we" he asked, "put more money of the same kind into the treasury when there is more there tharrwe need!" The vote on the bill waa on strictly party, lines the Populists voting with the Demo crats against tbe bill. Mr. Newlands, Sil verite of Nevada, voted aye. Southern Enterprises to the Front.' Baltimore, Dec. 26. The Manufacturer' t Record in its weekly review of Southern industrial interests says that the determina tion to award the contract for two battle ships to theewport News Shipbuilding company, whose bid was about 20 per cent' less than that of the largest shipbuilding concerns in the North, is regarded as a great victory for the industrial interests of the South. It illustrates the increasing magni tude of Southern industrial affairs and their ability to underbid competitors o other sections because ' of ti,e natural advant ages of this section far manufacturing. The opening, on January 1st, of a $1,000,000 hotel ju9t completed at Old Point, Va., fol lowing so soon after the one recently w at Richmond which oyer $1 sooo, emphasize e growing importance to the oouth of the winter resort business. The number of Nqrtharn tourists who now Sf end tbe winter in the South is annually increasing and is a material factor in the growing prosperity of this section. Ilighest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report DEMOCRATS DIE HARD. . . THEIR SCHEME TO RETAIN OFFICES IN MARYLAND. The Present Governor to Nominate all the Appointive Officers Daring the Eight Days or His Term that the Democratic Senate is in Session His Power to do so Admitted by tuo GoTernor- . Elect. tWashi .gtin Post, Baltimore, Md Dec. 25 Governor Frank Brown, the Democratic executive of the State, who will retire from office on Jan uary 8th, bas given theRepublican aspirants for office a pretty bad scare from which they have not yet recovered. He dropped a bomb in their ranks about three days ago, which, at the time, was belieyed to be harmless, but which they haye since learned was loaded, and had a time fuse attachment. The constitution provides that the Gov ernor shall appoint, with the consent of the 8erjate, all civil officers within fifty days from the beginning of each regular session of the Legislature. Now the Governor's term does not expire until the 8th of Jan nary, whereas the Legislature meets on the 1st. As the Senate is Democratic, the Gov ernor claims that he has the power to make all appointments within the first week. The Senate could immediately confirm, and as no removals can be made, except for cause, the appointees would hold oyer for two years. When this fsct was announced several days agbthe Republicans said it was an other of Brown's jokes, and made light of it. Now that the Attorney General says that the Governor has the power to forestall his Republican successor, and Governor Brown says he is not joking, the Republi cans are very uneasy. Governor-elect Lowndes acknowledges that Governor Brown has the power, but does not think he would take advantage Of it. (Baltimore Sna. Cvmbeelakd, Md., Dec.25 Governor elect Lowndes spent . Christmas with his family, at his home, on Washington street, his brother, Richard T. Lowndes, of Clarksburg, W. Va., being his guest. . The Sun correspondent asked Mr. Lowndes tO-night what he thought of Governor Brown's proposition to make the appoint ments. The Governor-elect replied: "That matter came to my notice yesterday. At first I thought it was a Brown joke, but.t he prominence which has been given the mat ter by the -Vun and other papers to-day, and the fact that I have received several tele grams about it from friends in Baltimore makes me think that the Governor may be serious. I am not prepared to believe, how ever, that Governor Brown will attempt to carry out a scheme that, would certainly be universally rebuked by the messes of the State and which, I believe, would provoke a revolution among the people." "Has he power to do it?'' "Well, ,from what information I have upon the subject I am inclined to think under the constitution the Governor has the po wer to carry out the monstrous proposi tion, but if the constitution does give to the Governor the authority to appoint the officers that are to serve under tbe adminis tration of his successor, it is a privilege that has never been exercised and that no one ever thought of exercising before. .Having power to do it does not make it right for the Governor to do it. So far as I am concerned this novel idea, embracing a scheme to keep the political machinery of the State in the same hands that haye controlled it for so many years, and thus ignore the voice of the people, who so emphatically demand a change, will never meet with my approval." SPANIARDS DEF E A.TED. A Battle Between Vanguards of the 1vj ArmlesA Towns Captured By the Insurgents Sugar Plan lions Devastated. Key West, Fla., Dec. -26 Advices re ceived from Cuba to-day state that a battle occurred yesterday afterncon between the vanguards of the insurgent and the Spanish armie, and that the Spaniards were re pulsed.,, Col. Pratt, who commanded the Spanish vanguard, as killed. Martinez Campos was present and directed the re treat of the Spaniards to Jovellanos.- Cam pos' forces are now entrenched at that place, expecting to be attacked by Gomez's main army. Campos has armed all the civilians iu Jovellanos, and is forcing them to do military duty. Advices received by Cuban leaders via. the Olivette confirm the report of the cap ture of the town of El Roque, by Gomez. With Gomez was Perafin. The Spanish regiment stationed at El Rcque surrendered without firing a shot All of them were parolled. except twelve who were charged with haying poisoned the water in the reservoir of the town. They were tried, convicted and shot. After taking all the arms, provisions, etc., found in the town, the insurgeiits set fire to it and then left, eoing in the direction of Quintans and Jovellanos. They also destroyed the sugar plantations near San Vicente and La An tonia. The vanguard of Gomez's forces under the command of Lacrete has entered the town of Quintana between Matanzas and Colon and destroyed by fire the largest sagar plantation on the island. The train that left Colon for Matanzas was detained at Quintana by the insurgents Columns of smoke could be plainly seen at Jovellanos. The general supposition 'is that all plantations in that district have been destroyed. Maceo and his forces have encamped at me plantation ai iiarmonia, and Gomez has established his headauarters t th plantation La Espano, belonging to Romero Robledo, of the Spanish Cabinet. All telegraphic communication between Las Villas district and Havana has been de stroyed by the. insurgents, and no trains have passed oyer the road sinoe Saturday latt. The railroad stations at Madana and iocs, belonging to the United railroad com pany, have been destroyed by fire. ine inauTgents under xvunez baye en camped at the plantation Revido, and de stroyed all the cane. -The forces of Antonio Maceo and Quintin andera compose the rear guard of the army unuer uomei. lheHpaniaTda prohibited all public en tertainments on the 25th and ordered all saloons closed at 12 o'clock at niirht. Lacret, with a large force, is marching to wards Guines. The insurgents assert that no crops will be gathered this year. Gomez has notified Campos that it is his intention to destroy all the sugar rane, to prevent its being gathered.
