Truckers' Associa tion met at Wallace on Tuesday to dis cuss the question of the appointment of a snipping master and the establish ment of a oertal office in Wilmington. The meeting was called to order by President W. L. Hill,'; of Wallace, and Mr-'. J. ; -Henry Moore, of Burgaw, was elected secretary.- 1 4 j ' j - The roll of directors was called and the object of the meeting was fully ex plained by the chairman and Mr. J. S. Westbrook, of Falson. , It was explain ed that It - would be advantageous to employ a shipping master with a cen tral Office at Wilmington and that his duties be to ' superintend shipments from the various stations, to look after the condition of shipments, to- keep posted on the markets and advise as to the distribution of shipments jto -ne various markets. "The" question was then thoroughly dis cussed, and on motion, it was decided to employ a shipping master and es tablish his offic at Wilmington. '. - - Mr. G. W. WestbrOok, of the New Hanover association, called attention to the necessity; of reasonable rates for the shipment of produce to the north ern market. On motion the president was empowered 'to look into the matter of rates at once. Also to see about rates to local markets. . Mr. McMillan,' of Magnolia, spoke of the advantages of a train on Saturday evenings for the benefit of the! truck ers along the Wilmington and Weldon railroad. On motion Messrs. W. L- Hill and JG. W.. Westbrook were appointed a committee to wait on the railroad au thorities witft a view to getting the Saturday evening trains put on during the shipping season for strawberries. As to the matter : of sheds at ; the railroad for the benefit of shippers,-Mr. J. S. Westbrook; of Mt. Olive, reported that-they had got from Mr. J. R. Ken ly. general manager of the Atlantic Coast Line, substantially what was wanted in this particular. The matter as to the best, quickest and most reliable manner of securing market reports daily was discussed at some length. J Mr. J. S. Westbrook moved that the association apply to persons who get up the market reports with reference to the matter. The mo tion was adopted. The directors called upon Mr. ! B. D. Jones, of New j York, to express his views on the matter of getting the latest and most direct market reports. In his remarks he gave some informa tion on the matter and discussed the necessity for shipments to get to mar ket in good condition in order to com mand good prices. He said berries were handled too roughly by the rail roads and declared that a stop should be put to it. "He said berries ou be handled byj hand and not . with trucks, as is now done. On motion ol Mr. McMillan the di rectors were authorized; to empower the executive committee to employ an attorney to look after the claims of the members of the associationP Mr. McMillan moved that a demand be made oh the ! Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the proper and safe hand ling of berries, and that a written guar antee be secured from the California Fruit Transportation Company for the safe delivery of shipments in the sev eral markets. The motion was adopted Messrs. C. W. Woodward, S. W. Westbrook and W. M.

C, where they went m the interest of George Rountree,: Esq., Whose name had been presented to President Cleveland for appointment to the judgeship of the Eastern district of North Carolina to succeed j United States District Judge A. S. Seymour, deceased. j. S. Mr. Davis tells us that he finds that there is very little probability that the president iwill send in the name of any body for f;he judgeship and even if . he did the senate jwOuld not confirm it. In the first place the nomination would have to go through the regular course of being referred to the judiciary com mittee and by them reported back to the senate for j confirmation, jit ap pears, however, that the judiciary com mittee of this congress held its last meeting on Monday last, so if a nomi nation should be sent in now a special meeting of the! committee would have to be held. It is not thought that suffi cient influence could be brought tobear to get a special meetingof thecommit- tee. Even should the committee meet, it is not believed that the nomination of any democrat would be confirmed, In fact, United States Senator Pritch- ard and Congressman Settle have both declared that they would make, every enort to prevent a confirmation. I The appointment of Judge Seymour's suscessor will therefore go over to jPres ident MsKinley, jwho. is tobeinaugurat ed next Thursday. . MUST BE SOLD AT ONCE.

' I - t It is reported from an authoritative source that this huge vessel, which is valued at $120,000, covered by insur ance at Lloyds London, together with her cargo valued at $200,000, which is insured here and in New York and Bos top, will be a total loss.. Her cargo, to a large extent, has been reinsured,- The Baron Cawdor, a powerful and well-found vessel, left' Samarang Feb ruary 6th for the Delaware Cape three days later she ran ashore at Palo uapoer on the Java coast. At first her condition was not regarded as serious, and it was stated that after lightering about 500 tons of her. cargo she would come off about February 15th. if weather remained good. Ad vices received from abroad state that there can - be no hope of saving the ship or her cargo. This vessel is in command of Cap tain A. Gemmell.

Otis - Smith, cashier of the Georgia, Security and Banking Company, who Is in Jail for embezzling $10,00o, says his effort, to keep up the gait of a swell in society here caused him to go wrong. Talking in his eell today to a reporter he said: "I did not at first intend to defraud any one. I was in the swim and it took cash to keep in the tMe. I do not like to arraign society, .but I am forced to talk about it when I discuss the real cause of my downfall. I have been asked why I did hot go along and do the best I could on my legitimate In come, which was aboufc'11,200 a year. But it takes money to hold 'a place in society In Atlanta. If you do not put up the stuff you are not appreciated. So long as you pay for the fun you are a king bee, but the moment you do not get in the push with the cash you are nobody. I was in the push and I had to get money to hold my own. It took money to pay for the theatre parties, germans, suppers, flowers and other presents, and I was like--the fellow who had hold of a galvanic battery; I could not let it go. After once started I had to keep It up or I was lost. There is nothing real or tangible in this so ciety business," he continued. "There is no genuine friendship. You are ap preciated for what you do in the way of entertaining and living pleasure. The fellow who comes to the front with the most in the way of giving the girls a nice time is the biggest man in the ring. Let him slack up and. he is soon in the background, but, as I said, J have na arraignment to make of At lanta society. I paid my. way and it gave me the best it had."'

Cuba came to the front at the outset of the day's business. : . Senator Allen offered the following resolution and asked for its immediate consideration:' ; Resolved. That It is the sense of the senate that the president should speedily and -effectually protect the Jives an liberties of peaceable Ameri can citizens residing or' sojourning in Cuba, and that he should promptly insist that Spain, in her war against her colonists In the island, should con duct the same on principles of civilized warfare, eliminating -all unusual and unnecessary cruelty and barbarity; and for the enforcement of these rea sonable and just requirements. United States battleships should be sent with out delay to Cuban waters, j y- Objection to the immediate consid eration of the resolution was made by Senators Gray and Quay, and it went over till tomorrow., - j . Senator. Hill offered another, resolu tion on the same general subject and It was agreed to without question. It Is as follows: , . Resolved, That the secretary of state be, and hereby is, requested to trans mit to-the' senate,-either in open or se- cret session, as he may prefer, all the correspondence and reports of 'the con sul general of the United States at Havana relating to all American citi zens, now In prison in the island of Cuba, -not previously reported orf. - The third and most important prop osition on the subject of the war in Cuba, was presented by Senator Mor gan, who, said that he had been in structed by the committee on foreign relations to report a 'Joint resolution , "demanding the release of Julio ' SanJ guillyr an ; American Imprisoned In Cuba," As it was in his own writing, he read to the senate as follows: . Resolved by the senate and house of representatives, That the government of the United States demand the im mediate and unconditional release of Julio'Sanguilly, a citizen of the United States,' imprisoned under charges pending against: him in the military and civil . courts of Cuba, on alleged grounds of rebellion arid kidnapping, contrary to the treaty rights of each of said governments and in ; violation of 'the law of nations. And the presi dent of the United States is requested to communicate this resolution to the government of Spain and to demand of that government such compensa tion as he shall deem just for the im prisonment mnd sufferings of Julio Sanguilly. ' , , "The. . committee thought," Senator Morgan "continued, "that it was its duty to request the earliest action on this joint resolution. And inasmuch as some members of the committee were absent at the time the resolution was ordered to be reported, I 'give notice and call the .attention of the chairman of the committee on foreign relations to it, that 1 will move tomorrow morn ing to take up the Joint resolution for action." Senator - Sherman, Chairman of the foreign relations committee, said: "The resolution was agreed to unan imously by the committee. I nave no objection whatever to letting It go over till tomorrow and I hope that the senate will then act upon it."; : The joint resolution accordingly went over till tomorrow. . The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up and two or three of the committee amendments to It provoked long and rather angry discussions. Remarkably enough, two of the tem porary occupants of the chair received stinging rebuffs from senators First, Senator Perkins, republican, of Cali fornia, from Senator Allen, populist, of Nebraska, and afterwards Senator Hill, of New York, - democrat, from Senator Pettigrew, silver! te, of South Dakota. The scene which attracted the most attention was one in which Senators Pettigrew and Hoar were the chief ac tors. Senator Pettigrew had met an attack of Senator Chandler's on a committee, amendment as to the large claim on the western Cherokees ground for legal services rendered to , the Cherokees, by attempting to turn into ridicule the New England sympathy for the Indians and recalling the cruel ties practiced in the. King Phillips war and, by Miles Staiidlsh. 1 Senator Chandler retaliated by Inquiring from Senator Pettigrew, where he was born a question which Senator Pettigrew declined to answer, and concerning which his conflict with Senator Hill (in the chair) took place. And Senator Hoar indulged in some very scathing comments on Senator Pettigrew as one who- went "mousing:" in ancient ; his tory to meet an argument: as having studied more history for the purpose of the speech than he had ever done before; and as belonging to that species of birds which "foul their own nests."
