He announced" that the home lodge wished to hold some service .before the grand lodge began. There : .w.ere about 225 Odd Fellows present, a line body. Of men indeed. Mr. James A. "Bell delivered the address of welcome, acquitting himself most handsomely. Tuesday night the lodge met again, Grand Master Dortch again presiding. The only important business was the passage of a resolution to establish an infirmary for the old. at Goldsboro. Three hundred dollars were raised for the cause, andthe matter was referred -to the committee on state of the order, . to be .brought up today. REPORTS. : The report of Grand Master Dortch Opens with a handsome compliment to Charlotte. The condition of the order, he says, while showing an increase in . membership, is not in as healthful a state as the order fnerits. The number of lodges at the 'Bast .'session was 110, since when seven have been re-organized and three dropped, making now on ; the roll 115. Two have been organized ince the report was written. The re- . lief extended throughout the jurisdic tion during the year, taking no account of the expenditures on the Orphans' . home, was ?S,0S4.22. or nearly $2 per - .capita. . ... .-. The report'of Grand Secretary Wood ell says that if no losses have been sus tained since the 1st of January the pres eht memlership in the state is 4,521, a small net gain over the preceding year. The total income of subordinate lodges ' as reported was $31,902.02; total dis bursements outside of relief $22,243.99. The grand treasurer's receipts for the year, including balance on hand of S21S.S0, were $6,901.13. The grand sec retary notes that progress has been inade, notwithstanding unfavorable r..m,iitinns- Vie sees liaht breaking and has a reasonable hope that 1S9? will be a year of prosperity. The board of trustees of the Orphans' borne, Messrs. .W. C. Douglass, W. T, Dortch,W-A:t J.Peacock.C. B. Edwards, "W. b. GaVtf'r fnd N. Jacobi, shows that the main builtlinfr of the home has been completed atf.a cost of $10,450. There are in the home 29 children of Odd Fel lows -17 bovrs and 12 girls. One was . dischargedluring the year for insub ordination. iFunds are needed for the ' furnishing f the main building and for repairs Jn what is known as the - ' "Goldsboro building." The expense of ' maintaining the home for the year eded March 31st; was $2,150.12. ' , . Stole the Wrong Dog. In this state a dog is not in law. personal property' unless it is listed for taxation and the tax paid, so dogs on ' which the tax is not paid can be stolen : with impunity. The thief cannot be prosecuted, and most of them who know this, take any dog they take a . fVncy to. Some one stole Mr. John r(ahnhart's dog a few days ago and h:e had a white man by the name of Wni. Deveraux arrested for it. Dever- eaux was before Mayor Wright yester day, and as he could, not be held for stealing 'the dog, he was charged with . ' stealing the badge and collar and was iboiind over to tourt in a bond of $50. THE CDBAN SITUATION. AN INVESTIGATION BY SENATE FOREIGN COMMITTEE. A Sab-Committee Examining the Reports In the State Department Their Report on the Morgan Resolution to Be Based on What is Found There Congress Like ly to Accept Conclusion of Ihl Commit tee Newspaper Reports Said Not to Be Exaggerated. Washington, May 12. The senate committee on foreign relations did not conclude its consideration of the Cu ban resolution today. It will meet to morrow morning at 10 o'clock, but the sub-committee, consisting of 'Senator.! Davis, Foraker and Morgan, which to dy was given more access to the Cu ban reports now held at the state de partment, probably will ask for further time before submitting their ideas to the full committee. The sub-committee was unable to go through all the re ports that have been rejeeived from Consul General Lee and other consuls and officers in Cuba. At the meeting tomorrow it is possi ble that Senator Morgan-will consent to have the resolution now pending in the senate m go over without prejudice until the committee can make its re port. It is not intended that all the re ports of consuls shall be sent to the senate, but this committee will select certain documents bearing on the con dition of affairs in the island and on these make its recommendations and report. This will generalize the situ ation without making public such mat ters as state department officials and the committee think would be prejudi cial to persons on the island. Some question has arisen as to the effect the report of the eommittee, or the information at the state depart ment may nave upon the resolution now pending in the senate. Members of the committee do not express an opinion on the subject, but enough is known to justify the conclusion that instead of weakening the resolution, its friends will find cause . for insisting that there is a strong reason for pass ing it. The object of the foreign relations committee, which has deprecated has-" ty action and suggested that the reso lution be referred to the committee, is that the senate should not act in the premises until there is more infor mation af hand. The opponents of the resolution have declared that the newspaper reports of the conditions in. Cuba are not based upon facts and are highly exaggerated. Those who have became acquainted with the reports in the state depart ment are of the opinion , that the re ports in the press have been in the main correct. One member of the com mittee who had-listened to the summa ry of the reports in the department, said that a very serious condition ex isted in Cuba ami that the inquiry now being made, by the committee would result in bringing to light the exact facts. !". Some strictures were passed upon members of the foreign relations com mittee, who, about a year ago, voted for a resolution similar to the one pend ing and who now ask for lime to con sider the matter with -more delibera tion. Speaking of this criticism, Chair .man Davjs, - of the foreign relations committee said: "At the time the for mer resolution was reported, Gomez was at the head of a large army in the veastern end of. -the. island.. and Mace., at : the head, of another army in the west. They could march from one end of Cuba to the other. Campos had been defeated in a great battle and was shut up wiihin solid fortifications and confined to a small territory around Havana.- Everyone knew that a stato of war existed. That was a year ago. Great changes have since taken place. jMaceo is dead and his army dispersed. Gomez is at the head of but a small force; certainly-it is no such army as was reported then. There are conflict ing statements , as- to. the strength of the insurgents and the control which Spain has over the island.. It i3 right and proper that the facts that have reached the state department should be laid before the senate and the com mittee so that intelligent action can be had." " The republicans of the committee do not feel justified in " pushing the ad ministration until it has jhad time to act. It has been pointed out that only two conths have elapsed since the ad ministration came into power and-it has scarcely had time to take up and consider so important a matter as that which hscs been considered. The pend ing resolution, unlike a joint resolution, will require: the executive either to ap prove or disapprove of it. This being the case, the republican senators feel that they should act . in concert -with the president. It is not believed that in case the senate foreign relations; committee finds after thorough exami nation of the reports in the state de partment, that the resolution is justi fied, that any effort will be made to prevent its passage. Members of the committee on foreign-relations feel that the question which confronts the sen ate is serious and any action that" Is taken by the senate will have great weight with the administration. In case the resolution should pass both the senate and the house there, is no reason to believe that It would not be approved and that the United States government would thereafter conduct itself on the lines which it lays down. Tonight the sub-committee met Sec retary Sherman at. the. latter's. house and had a long conference with him. The suggestion is advanced that- the president will be inclined to wait for a report from Mr. Calhoun, who left Saturday for Havana, before making known definitely his views. Mr. Cal houn went to Cuba to investigate the cause attending, the death of Dr. Ruiz but it is believed that . the. president will expect him to report generally as to affairs on the island so far as his observation goes, and that Mr. Cal houn's conclusions will have some weight in determining the president's action- " After Many Years. Many of our citizens who remember the ante-bellum days of Wilmington were greatly, pleased to meet on our streets during the past lew days Major James P. Robertson, of Cumberland, who was once a prominent leader of Tailroad affairs in .Wilmington, as chief engineer and general superintendent of the Wilmington and Manchester Rail road -Company. Major Robertson as sisted in the completion -of this only link, at that time, between the north and south, which superseded the steam- kboat line between Wilmington and f Charleston. His services continued in various capacities for more than fif teen years and terminated in 1864 on account of failing- health which caused his retirement. Of., remarkably fine presence, superior professional ability and Chesterfieldian address, - he was most highly and universally esteemed by our people. Some of the 'subordi nates In his office were Messrs, John C. Latta, William Pitts, William A. Wal ker, William L. DeRosset and John McLaurin. Only the last two survive. The major still bears himself with the old time courtesy and carries his 70 years lightly. This is his second visit to the old town in forty years, and he remarked to us yesterday that so great were the changes since his ! last visit that he found it difficult to get his bearings. - - ; The Messenger hopes that he may be spared for many years, for the likes of him in these days are few and far be tween, .. . ..-.-v.. THE SUGAR TRUST CASES. The Trials of Havemeyer and Searles to be Taken Up Chapman's Attorneys Order ed to Produce Him for Enforcement of Sentence. Washington, May 12. The cases of President Havemeyer and Secretary Searles, of the American Sugar Refin ing Company, were selected today for trial on the 17th of this month for re fusal to answer questions put by the senate sugar trust investigating com mittee. District Attorney Davis ad vised the counsel for the various wit nesses tonight that the next cases would be called on that date and that Havemeyer and Searles would be the first proceeded against. The attorneys are instructed to produce their -men In court then. A rumor was circulated today that Broker. Eiverton R. Chapman, of New York, already sentenced to serve thir ty days in jail for refusing to answer the questions of the sugar investigating committees, had been summoned to ap pear here immediately to serve his sen tence, but it was denied at the district attorney's office that any further ac tion in his special case had heen taken. His attorneys were notified to produce him some time ago and the government has since been waiting on them, though the district attorney has 3tated he will not wait much longer. The next step to be taken if Chapman falls to appear will be the Issuance of a bench warrant for him. To Preserve' the Marshall Residence Richmond, Va., May 12. At a meet ing this afternoon of Richmond Bar Association the following was adopted: 7 "Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed from this association to ascertain and report whether it is prac ticable to secure the building so long occupied as a residence bv jhief Jus tice Jo'ftn Marshall, situated at the I corner of Ninth and Marshall streets, in this city, with a view to its preser vation from decay and change. Said committee are authorized to confer with eminent members of the bench and bar of this country, and with any like committees which may be ap pointed by other bar associations, and to submit the result of their investiga tions and conferences to some future meeting of this body with such recom mendations as they may deem proper to carry forward the objects of this movement, which are briefly stated to secure the conveyance to trustees or to some association of the home of -Chief Justice Marshall; its preservation, as near as possible in the same condition as when occupied by him, together with the furniture, books and pictures. . The Kentucky Derhy. Louisville, Ky., May 12. The twenty third Kentucky Derby has passed into history and along with It the winter'. and spring calculation of the talent. Ornament, the much-touted son of im ported Order, that game chestnut colt whose 2-year- old performances stamp ed him and rightly so, the king of the western turf, lowered colors this after -i noon before a gamer and a better ani-4 mal. Without being touched and with only, a little shaking up near the wire, Typhon III landed the coveted prize. Showing the way the entire distance of one mile, and a quarter, the chestnut colt was never in distress at any part of the journey. The finish was not the sensational kind that stirs the spec tators and furnishes excitement to those who have wagers on the out poine; T for. Typhon's victory, well anil gamely contended, was won with an ease that clearly proved his superiority over the five other colts contesting for the honor. It was a good betting race, but Typhon, though a second choice, carried but little of the public's money. When they went to the post the rul ing prices were: Ornament, 8 to 5; Ty phon, 11 to- 5; Dr. Catlett, 4; Dr. Shepard, 9; Ben Brown 12 and Gosh en 16. The Triple Alliance. ., Budapest, May 12. In the lowep house of the Hungarian parliament to day Baron Banffy, the premier, reply ing to interpellations with respect to 'the recent visit of the Emperor (Francis Joseph to St. Petersburg said: "Austria-Hungary's position toward her allies is unified. The triple alli ance is not one of those short-lived political combinations which can easily be replaced by other arrangements. The triple alliance constitutes the un changeable basis of Austria's foreign policy. It-is absolutely peaceful, there fore, allows its members to enter Into friendly agreements with other powers. "Russia, like Austria-Hungary, has declared that she is not pursuing sel fish ends in the east, but that she has her only aims the maintenance of or der, security and the preservation of the status quo. In the light of these facts, I declare positively that Aus tria-Hungary and Russia have identi cal and harmonious aims in their east-, ern policies, anekthe visit of the em peror to St. Petersburg has doubtlesa helped to foster and to strengthen the good relations existing between the two countries."

Director ofTPoIice Abbott today issued his ulti matum to the base ball people regard ing the playing of Sunday games. He says if an.attempt is made to play next Sunday, as threatened, he will send out the police and arrest the players. If necessary the entire force will be de tailed and if that is not sufficient he will call out the militia. "I'll do my duty" says the director. ('Personally, I am not opposed to Sunday base ball, but the way to ; do it is toj amend the law." F An Unclaimed Corpse. New York, May 12. The hody of a man in a metallic casket wa4 taken to the morgue from the Grand Central station tonight. The morgue keeper said the body had been in the baggage room at the depot three days and was unclaimed. It came from Victoria, British Columbia. -The record on the outer box xt the coffin bears the name "Arthur Scroggs, died at sea near Vancouver island, British Columbia." tf.E. Boyd to be Assistant AttorneyGenera .Washington, May 12. Solicitor of in ternal revenue Hough, pf Ohio, has re signed, the resignation being tendered to the president today. It was sup posed that National Committeeman J, E. Boyd, of North Carolina, would get this place but by a recent change it has been decided that he should be appoint ed an assistant attorney general. Senator Pettigrew re-introduces his anti-trust amendment to the tariff bill, changing the phraseology so as to make its operation more" certain and ef&fct- ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP STATE ON INSURANCE. Tuberculosis Among Cows at State Experi ment Farm State Pharmaceutical Asso ciationNegroes at New Bern Angry at Having no Representation on the City Board Senator Butler Now Disapproves the Grab Schemes of the Last Legislature Illegality of Certain City Taxes. Messenger Bureau, Park Hotel, Raleigh, N. C, May 12. The annual report by the secretary of state is out, containing the life insur ance business done in 1896 in -North; Carolina. The risks written were $17, 255,296, premium receipts $1,388,291, losses $671,073. The annaul report on fire insurance business done in the state shows: To tal risks written $53,847,&19, premiums collected $894,549, losses paid $439,325. ' At the state experiment farm eight cows have been killed out of the herd of twenty, Dr. Melvin, of Washing ton, Is the government expert whq made the examination for tuberculosis. He made post mortems also. In two cases the cows were found not to be affected. No milk was sold from this herd save Pasteurized cream. Four of the cows were promptly killed, though Dr. Melvin suggested that they be kept a month and a second test made before they were condemned. All the animals killed save the two found un infected, were disinfected and deeply buried in lime. The superintendent of the farm says there is probably not a herd of cattle in the state without tu berculosis and he adds that it is im portant for herd owners to make vol untary tests. Rev. D. F. King, a negro preacher of Holly Springs, this county, was jail ed here today. Three of the female members of his church charge him with ruining them. It is intimated that yet graver charges are to be made against him. The State 'Pharmaceutical Associa tion met in Odd Fellows' hall here this morning, Augustus Bradley, of Bur lington, presiding, and H. R. Home, of Fayetteville, being secretary. Of its 150 members about 60 are in attendance. Rev. W. C. Norman offered the open ing prayer, Mayor Russ made a speech of welcome and John P. Stedman, of Oxford, made the response. President Bradley delivered the annual address. Fine rains fell last evening and there is marked benefit to crops. The negroes at New Bern are rais ing quite a row because Governor Russell appointed five white council men for that city, to represent a big negro majority. There is in a quiet way a good deal of feeling among the negroes against Governor Russell. Senator Butler, in his paper today has a signed editorial in which he says the unanimous decision of the su preme court that the present officials of the Insane asylums could not be ousted, is very gratifying, is devoid of party bias and must be accepted with-. out cavil. Then he says Governor Rus sell made the most serious mistake of his administration when he gave way to the clamor of those who would make a political foot ball of the educational and charitable institutions of the state a mistake not only against political policy, but also against the best in terests of his party. Senator Butler says the populist caucus in 1895 stopped the grab of the asylums. He then adds that the whole affair this year seems to have been a special spite against Dr. Murphy, the superintendent of the Western hospital, who is reeognized as at the very head of his profession, and that no party can maintain itself which removes such men to make places for those inferior in qualifica tions. The decision of the supreme court relative to taxation to meet interest on city and town bonds is of much im portance. It is that no municipal cor poration has the authority to levy any tax to pay interest on bonds regularly issued unless authority to levy the tax has been conferred by a vote of the people. Dr. McGeachey, assistant physician of the insane asylum here, will remain until June, by request of the directors. Dr. Faison, who is succeeded by Dr.; Davis as first assistant, will locate at Bennettsville, S. C. Today an order was received from Judge Simonton, of the circuit courti allowing W. R. Tucker, of this city, to amend his bill of complaint against Governor Russell in the matter of the Atlantic and North Carolina railway, so that the bill will set forth that Pres ident Hancock, of the road, obtained an injunction in the superior court .of Craven county to prevent a meeting! of the private stockholders in April, ajnd that this . Injunction is now operative. There was also received at the office of the clerk of the federal court here today a prayer for a removal to that court of the case now in Bladen supe rior court in which the grand jury in dicted J. C. Parrish, deputy marshal, for killing Barnum L. Jones, the- noto rious moonshiner and outlaw, while Jones was attempting to kill the dep uty and others of his posse. It seems strange that any indictment shouia have been made in a case where killing was so entirely justifiable. The prayer is also for habeas corpus, for cause. The Episcopal convention of the dio cese of North Carolina met this morn ing In the Church of the Good Shep herd here. At 10 o'clock it was regu larly called to order, after morning prayer. Rev. ur. jyiarsnaii, oi a-ieigii. will be the president. Rev. j. in. jyic- Cormick, of Atlanta, preaches the an nual sermon at Christ cnurcn sunaay morning. The convention sermon was preacn- ed by Rev. W. . P. Averitt. Julian E. Inele was elected secretary. Charles E. Johnson was unanimously re-elected treasurer. There was a : discussion as to whether the canon should be so amended so as to allow females to vote on parish matters. Some favored tab ling this while others opposed any ref erence to committee. It was finally re ferred. It was stated during the dis cussion that for forty years women had so voted in Christ church parish, New Bern. There are today 212 convicts in the penitentiary walls. The state granted charters today to the Turkey Knob Corunduni Company, of Jackson county, and the Morrow Brothers & Heath Company, of Stanly. To Prohibit Import of Prison Made Goods. Washington, May 12. Senator Gal linger, of New Hampshire, today pre sented an amendment which he propos es to offer to the tariff bill against goods which are the product of convict labor. The' amendment is as follows: 'That whenever complaint is made to the secretary of the treasury that any manufactured goods Imported into this country are the product of prison or convict labor, it shall be the dutv of the secretary of the treasury to form ulate the necessary rules and regula tions to prohibit the further importa tion of such goods except upon the sworn statement of the foreign manu facturer or his agent made before a consul of the United States, that said goods are not being produced by the labor of prisoners or convicts." A Yessel Sinks, With all on Board. St. Johns, N. F. May 12. The crew of the French vessel St. Jean believe that the Norwegian bark Loining, which collided with the St. Jean on the Grand Banks during a fog on the night of May 6th. sank within a few hours after the collision, with all hands. The Ixwning appeared to be seriously in jured and in the morning, when the fog had cleared, away, there was no sign of the vessel or anyone of her boats. . BASE BALL. Six National League Games Played Phil a delphia Takes two Games From St. Louis. Harvard Defeat University of Virginia. Washington, May 12. A hit would have tied the score in the ninth but it didn't come. The Orioles narrowly es caped a defeat, threatened by the weakening of Bond in the last inning. Maul started in to pitch for the Sena tors, but his arm gave out and he was compelled to retire. It is probable that he will never pitch again. He' was succeeded by Swaim. Hoffer was hit on the left arm by a pitched ball in the third inning and Pond took his place in the fifth: The score: R. H.

The Reds gave, a sorry exhibition of ball playing today, givnig the Colts, who played in perfect form, the last game of the series very easily. Callahan's fielding was by long odds the feature.

Tannehill pitched a good game but Sugden's in excusable error and Donovan's wild throw to home from right, both cost a run.

In the senate today the sugar investigation of 1S94 was recalled by the introduction of a resolution 'by Senator Allen, of Ne braska, reciting the circumstances of the investigation, the refusal of Elver ton R. Chapman to testify, his convic tion in the courts as a contumaceous witness, and the present efforts toward his pardon.

Senator Allen sought to secure im mediate action on the resolution, but it wrent over on objections from Sena tors Gallinger. and Hoar. ; The latter criticised the resolution as giving away the authority of the senate and said he would propose an amendment with a view to having Chapman punished unless he purged himself of contempt, without reference to the question of pardon.
