In the early trading at the stock exchange, the market was inclined to weakness, ow ing chieny to lower quotations from London and renewed activity on ' the part of the bears, who were working for a reaction. The foreign selling was attributed to uneasiness prevailing in London over the South Airican situa tion, but in the aggregate, the stocks sold for this account were of insigni ficant proportions. The decline was also unimportant, except in the cases of Jersey Central and Manhattan. Jersey Central dropped 2 per cent, to 934 on rates by brokers who have been active in depressing the stock for some time past. Manhattan fell to 85 on the re vival of the reports of reduced divi dends. The directors of the company held a meeting today and, according to rumor, the dividend question was not acted upon. The early loss in th gen eral list was only to per cent. In the afternoon a firmer tone prevailed, the result of the announcement by Lake Shore officials of the sale of $50,000,000 worth of gold bonds. The bonds are to pay 3 per cent, and run for 100 years. The Issue is made for the pur pose of retiring $45,000,000 7 per cent, bonds maturing from 1898 until 1903. This successful negotiation led to pur chases of stocks for both the long and short account and prices advanced to the top figures of the day. The favora ble statement of the. Burlington and Quincy for January added to the bullish feeling and encouraged purchases of the western issue. Among the latter Omaha common was conspicuous for a rise to 53, the highest price of the year. Lake Shore, however, was the feature. jumping from 167 to 171, with a subse quent reaction to 169.

The market made a feeble effort to rally earlv in the day. but the bull enthu siasm has received a check in the last two days, and when large selling orders came in front Liverpool, which market furnished our chief support yesterday, a quick drop ensued.

The steamer Laurada may have started on another expedition to Cuba. She left here last Friday, ostensibly for Philadelphia. She passed Cape Henry Saturday af ternoon and should have reached there Sunday, but her arrival there has not been reported by marine observers. Before leaving Baltimore the Laurada took aboard sufficient coal and stores to carryi her across" the Atlantic, It would not surprise Captain Hart's friends if his vessel had taken on a load of war munitions and should next be reported around the Cuban coast. New York, March 2. A special from Barnegat, N. J., says a filibustering expedition bound for Cuba, supposed to be the much discussed one of Major Castroverdi, left ancrorage off here before daylight this morning. i : . a Short In His Accounts. Salt Lake. Utah. March 2. Richard H. Cabell, United States internal rev enue collector, has been discovered short in his accounts with the govern ment to the extent, of over $10,000. He has been removed from office, and as soon as the exact amount of the defal cation is known, his Txmdsmen will be required to make it good. Cabell held the office for nearly four years, for two of which it is said he has been tamper-1 ing with the government's money which he lost speculating in mining stocks. He came to Salt Lake from Virginia and belongs to one of the oldest and most, respected families of thq-t state, No steps have yet been taken to pros ecute him. "; Strike of Shipbuilders. Cleveland, Ohio, March 2. Four hun dred skilled . workmen in the Globe Shipbuilding Company's yards -went out today on a sympathy strike. Yes terday 300 helpers struck and they have induced the skilled workmen to aid them. The only men left in the big yards now are the calkers. The only demand made by the skilled workmen is that t,he. company accept the terms or settlement offered by the helpers. These terms. 4nclude a year's contract fona minimum of . $1.50 per dayjthe reinstatement of all union men dis charged without cause and an agree nient to hire no more non-union men. McKinley Reaches Washington Washington, March 2. William Mc- Kinley entered Washington today as a private citizen and as quietly and Unostentatiously as any private citizen could under similar circumsances. At the request of the president-elect there was no military or other display on his arrival.- He walked through the crowd at the; railroad station and, entering the carriage awaiting him, was driven to the Ebbitt 'house, the hotel at which he made his home in Washington while a member of congress. That was the entire programme attending his apr pearance in the capital city as the fu ture' president of the United States. The Augusta Southern Road Leased j ; New York, March 2. The Augusta Southern railroad, : eighty-four miles long, extending from Augusta, Gai through Sandersyille, to a connection with- the Central of Georgia railroad at Tennville, was leased in perpetuity and surrendered to the South Carolina and Georgia railroad yesterday. The annexation of -this road will enable the South Carolina and Georgia to control considerable traffic, which has heretofore been- diverted to other lines and will necessarily increase the busi ness of Charleston. STATE PRESS. The sub-committee on education -of the two houses of the general assembly at their meeting last Friday unani mously recommended an increase of $5,000 in the regular appropriation to the university and $12,500 additional to the state normal and industrial school. This) action was taken after a faithful inspection of the work being vdone : by these institutions, and the chairman, Mr.-Dockery, expressed regret -that the state could not do its whole duty t. them by giving them more. This will hardly be cheerful news to Dr. Kilgo who came over from South Carolina to teach North Carolinians how to run their affairs. If he will continue his campaign of education, there is no rea son why the next legislature should not do ai great deal more for the university and the state normal and industrial School. Higher education is a good thing and I the state is not willing that it should be shut UP to denominational schools, r As President Alderman said in his inaugural address, "Every man thinks higher education is a good thing for him or his child, and that settles the queston." Yes, it is a good thing for those who are reached by Dr. Kilgo, but what about the thousands he can not roach, particularly those who are impoverished by the cigarette trust Reidsville Review. i i i As! it appears to The Tribune, the substitute is a fair compromise of the issues involved in the bill as it passed the house. It proposes that- the extre mists on both sides shall make mutual concessions. Instead of subjecting for eign railway corporations to an oppres sive i license law, the bill requires them to become incorporated under the laws of North Carolina, and to become sub ject to the jurisdiction of the eourts of the State, making them in all intents and Ipurposws the same as corporations chartered in the state. Notice is server; upon the Southern Railway Company that! it may hold its lease of the North Carolina railroad only upon condition thati It surrender its lease for ninety ninei years, and take a lease for thirty! six years. These are the essential fea tures of the bill. Strong ground has been taken against foreign railway cor porations because of their peculiar priv ilege or removing suits from state to federal eourts, which, with some show of reason, is claimed to work a hard ship on suitors, who could afford the ex pense of prosecuting suits in the federal courts. It is sought in the house bill to remedy this by compelling such cor porations to relinquish that right, and also i by imposing such conditions upon them that by the slightest infraction of the laws relating to railway trans portation they might be deprived of the privilege of doing business in the state. -Raleigh Tribune. The discussion of the bill to increase the appropriation to the university and the I normal and industrial school I brought forth some genuine eloquence in the house yesterday morning. The whole scene was moving and fuU of interest. The overwhelming sentiment.! for the measures, the enthusiasm of the' 'members regardless of party or race. lines ror these grand institutions, and the lofty feeling in the air, made one proud of North Carolina and hopeful of her future, AU smallness and nar rowness were blown to the winds. It was made manifest that thesev institu tions were near to the heartsof the people, and through every speech rang tne note that m them the youth of the state hteta. or low, rieh or poor, could have an opportunity to become educat ed men and women. The skillful- man agement of the measures by Represen- tativs Dockery and his masterly and earnest plea for them was deserving of all praise,, as were the short point ed speeches, of Representatives Johnson of Sampson, Blackburn of Ashe, Brown or Jones, and Young of Wake. 'The powerful speech of Representative Lusk- contained many ' striking -passages. When he spoke of his own struggles,' as a mountain boy, for an education; of how the -university before the war seemed so far away from him, and of how today- under a more liberal, policy of the state, the sons of th poor were nocKing to its aoorsu there was a sin cerity, a passion and a pathos in his words that went straight to the heart. The legislature has done well. Long life and prosperity of the univeraltv and the normal and industrial sehool noble servants of the people.
