The Democrats Hani Mr. Clark Over the Coals Our Sister City Afflicted With two Hoards of Aldermen The Democrats in the Saddle Other Blatters of Interest. (Correspondence of The Messenger.) New Bern, N. C, June 10. The democrats of the Second ward, in this city met at the court house last night to call Mr. James F. Clark, the councilman-elect from this ward, to give an account of his actions in de serting his party and going over to the Russell gang. Mr. Clark was given permission to address the meeting, and he did so with an hour's speech, but did not undertake to vindicate his course except on the pround that he desired that there should be a constitutional board, etc. There was a committee appointed to draft resolutions' condemning his ac tion, but as Mr. Clark confessed his error and seemed to be very sorry for his action, the resolutions of the com mittee were very light on him. The citizens of New Bern regret very much that he Jh'ouid make such a slip up, as he stotd very high here as a man of varacity and political integrity. This action should teach those who are to govern this city to be careful he after and not try to barter away the rights of the voters, in order that pie hunters may be gratified. Mr. Clark was sorely pressed into this action, and no doubt he regrets it very much. The Ellis democratic board is at the old stand doing business, taxes being paid to his collector. b The Dennison republican board meets about as often as the Ellis board but haven't got any .money, consequently cannot do anything. It, . however, claims to be the- lawful board and enti tled to everything in the shape of money. The truck farmers in this section have made some money this season on their shipments. Irish potatoes are - very nearly all shipped. The crop was not as good as usual, the dry weather materially effected it. We are having nice rains now. Trade in the city seems to be some what on the mend. The truck money in circulation is the cause. It is to be hoped it will continue. Judge Henry R. Bryan has arrived home from holding courts in the east ern counties. The judge is always wel. t-ome home. He is quite a favorite in the city. Our firemen boys are talking of their annual trip to Fayetteville this year and say they are going to bring back the belt. Everything is serene and quiet today. i Sulcsde on a Train. - Tfir.Vimnnr1 Va.. June ll.--James C. Mc- Tiwain nf Swellsville.

Patents for Cycles. Petrot Tribune.) - To what limits the inventing of bicy cle improvements has gone is shown by the patent office records In the United States.

PRESIDENTIALi PARTY REACHES THE CENTENNIAL CITY. Escorted to the Exposition Grounds by Ex- Confederates In Gray and Others An Immense Crowd Greets the President. The Enthusiasm Over His Presence Im mense Speeches in tbe Auditorium Re F ceptions to the Women. NashVill'e, Term., June 11. The cen tennial cfty extended a warm reception to President McKinley and the mem bers of his party this .morning. The dis-r tinguished , guests arrived ait 7:30 o'clock, ,but long before that hour crowds thronged the streets and rail road station. Mayor J. W. Thomas, president cf th& Tennessee Centennial Exposition and members of the execu tive committee were at the depot when the special train arrived. After a cor dial greeting the, guests of the city were driven to the Maxwell house and there provided with accommodations and breakfast. As soon as 'breakfast was over the presidential party was ushered Into carriages from the Church street entrance of the hotel and the line was soon formed, thepress and many gorgeously attired memoers of Governor Bushnell's staff occupying the three hugel tallyho coaches: In the first carriage were President McKinley, Mrs. VanLeer Kirkman, president of the woman's board, and Major J. W. Thoirfas, president xif the Centennial Company. In other carriages were the secretaries . and visiting distinguished guests and the ladies of the party. As a guard of honor to the president, a mounted detachment of ex -confederates, commanded 'by Captain George F. Hager, ranged themselves Immedi ately in front of his carriage.' They wore the old time grey, but the buckles lof their belts Ibore the iijsigriia "TJ. S." In the rear of the line of the car riages marched the battalion of the Sixth infan try, under command of Colo nel Minor, sent from Fort Thomas and headed 'by their fine hand. The s'tate troops and a particularly good looking body of Cincinnati police, under com mand of their chief, made up the uni formed part of the parade. As the head of the procession turned in'tio the main tn trance of the exposi tion grounds, a battery of artillery boomed forth thei national salute of twenty-one guns.- The auditorium In which the exer cises of the day were held will seat comfortably 7,500 people and fully 20 per cent, more than that number were add'ed today in the crowds that s'Cood in the foyers and galleries. It was a representative, intelligent and note worthy audience one which inspired the speakers to their "best efforts and was particularly appreciative of any passages Or phrases which dealt upon the glories of our united nation. The heat was intense, bu t it could not check the enthusiasm. A wandering hand played "Dixie" just 'before the last gun of the salute announced the pres ident's arrival on the grounds, and thai air, loved for its associations by south erners land for its suggestive melody toy northerners, brought out a wave of "hearty cheers. They were hut murmurs, however, compared to the mighty roar bursting forth as President McKinley, with 'Mrs. Kirkman, beautifully gowned in summery materials, walked down the aisles and on to the platform. Governor Bushnell and staff were also generously applauded, while to Governor Taylor, "Our Bob," as they love to call him, a generous outburst was awarded. Commissioner' of Pen sions H. Clay Evans, a native Tennes- seean, was also a recipient of hearty cheers. .' , Mrs. McKinley had Concluded not to accompany the party in the procession and disappointment was expressed at her non-appearance. When she did come, it gave rise to one of the most delightful Incidents of the trip. Gow ernor Bushnell was in the midst of his speech, when. a cheer, swelling from the 'back of the. auditorium and thence communicating to the main floor and the galleries showed that some event of extraordinary interest was transpir ing. A moment later Mrs. (McKinley appeared in the central aisle, leaning on-the arm of Mr. James R. Dunn, and accompanied by her aunt, Mrs. Saxton and Mrs. Jno. HilTeakin, the latter of Nashville. Governor CBushnell grace fully yielded the floor and the Immence l xne rminience audience sprang to ts reet, cneeruig ' lustily. The cheers were redoubiea, when this gentle lady of the White house reached the platform. The- president hurried to. meet and greet her, and conducted her to a seat at his side.l A huge bunch or roses was handed Mrs. McKinley from the auditorium floor and as she howed and smiled her thanks, the crowd again broke into cheers. A variation upon "Our Old Kentucky Home" was a fitting prelude to the speeches,- which were open'ed by Hon. John W. Thomas, president of the ex position, who was master of ceremonies on the auditorium stage. President Thomas was very brief, but extended the heartiest of 'welcomes to the pres ident, to the members of the cabinet, to e-overnor Bushnell and visiting1 OMo- ans and to the representatives of tlm press. 'Mr. Thomas then introduces uovern- or Taylor, of Tennessee, as "Our Boh." His appearance was the signal ior ivuu cheers, and his iwlttv allusions pro voked much laughter. Governor Taylor was followed by W. L. Mceartny, mayor of Nashville, who added, to rne welcomes given and he in turn -by Sen ator W. T. Clark, president of $ne cen tennial committee. i After a musical interlude, Governor Asa S. Bushnell, of Ohio, was inoro- duced, his bow being followed y a flnttprinsr reCeDtlon in which the la dies Joined with hands and handker chiefs. .

After the -ceremonies In the audito rium, the president and some of his party visited the Parthenon, which is the art repository, and the children's building and thH repaired to the west id. liib house. In the ladies' parlor there Mrs. McKinley held- an Informal reception. Later in the afternoon sne and the president gave a reception to wrmen only In the woman's "building. During the luncheon the residents in "Vanity Fair," which is similar Tn many respects to rne jjiiuw-iij zance at Chicago, formed an unique procession, and marched past thecluh house, f rtm the galleries of whichthe luncheon wasserved.

IXX3E HARRIS MISTAKEN UTTo tba Extent of His Inflnf nee Over tbe Pie Hunting Crowd on tbe Agricultural College Board. (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, June 11. It 1b learned to night that State Chemist Herbert Battle tendered his resignation a month ago, but withdrew it at the earnest request of J. C. L. Harris, chairman of the agricultural college board. Harris thought he had enough influence to control the pie hunt ing members of the board. As was shown yesterday, he failed. Ben Duke, of Durham,1 resigns as direc tor of the institutions for white blind and colored deaf mutes and blind here. The vacancy is not yet filled, it is said at the executive department. Strained Relations With Spain London, June 11. The Madrid corre spondent of the standard says: The Madrid papers are re-echoing the pop ular anxiety and curiosity concerning the attitude which, the United States will adopt in the face of recent events. The sensation caused by the reports of a change of attitude increased when it was announced that American tri bunals had acquitted filibusters who had been stopped by an American man-of-war. Much suppressed indignation can be discerned between the lines of press articles, of every shade of opin ion, bitterly resenting the idea of Amer ican interference in Cuba.. Everything shows that Spain is drifting again into strained relations -with the United States. Indeed, most Spaniards are convinced that the signflcance of the issue lies in the fact that the queen regent has given another trial to the Canovas-Weyler policy, chiefly because the premier and the captain general are both considered best able to show a bold front and to act with energy in case President McKinley and Secretary Sherman should decide to intervene upon humanitarian and philanthropic grounds. Any suggestion of mediation shows but little knowledge of the temper and feelings of he Spaniards. Any such step on the part of America would in duce all parties, even the republicans and the Carlists, to rally round the cabinet. Although official circles and the press affect to feel confidence in the friendly disposition of America, it is easy to detect unusual anxiety as to the news from Washington. British Troops Assassinated. Bombay, June 11. A dispatch re ceived here from Simla, the residence of the Indian government officials dur ing the heated periods of the year, an nounces serious trouble on the north ern frontier and the massacre of a number of British officers and native "soldiers in the government employ. The first report said that Colonel Bunny, two officers and twenty-five privates had been- killed and that three officers and twenty-five men had been wound ed. In addition, numbers of mules and horses are reported killed, London, June 12. The Times corre spondent at Simla says; Mr. Gee was sent to fix the site of a new outpost at Sherani and to recover the fine imposed on local tribesmen for past misconduct. The troops after the attack retired to wards Dattakhel, sustaining a running fight for four miles. As the Waziris were in such strength it was impossible to do more than act on the defensive. Two companies of native inf?mtry sent from Dattakhel. reinforced the party which brought its guns in safety. No reason is yet given for this sudden out break but the garrison in Tochivalley will be inforced pending decision as to punitive operations. The present garrison consists of two regiments of native infantry, one mounted battery and a squadron of cavalry. , Treaty of Alliance Between Russia and London, June 11. The Paris corre spondent of The Times says: I am In a position to affirm that a definite treaty of alliance will be signed dur ing M. Faure's approaching visit to Russia by the Emperor Nicholas, Pres ident Faure, Count Muravieff, the Rus sian foreign minister, and M. Hano- taux, the French foreign minister. The treaty, whose terms have already been settled, w ill be one of the most labo riously constructed instruments of its kind. Ever; since 1889 it has been in process of construction. Two czars and three French presidents, with their respective ministers, have been work ing upon it, the negotiations often be ing suspended owing to deaths, resig' nations and similar interruption.

Yt ln ' uf ? THE SUGAR TRUST GAINS A DECISIVE VICTORY IN THE SENATE, The Senate Committee 'Amendment In creasing the Differential en Hngar Adopt ed The Tote One of tbe Closest . Yet Taken on the Tariff Bill in That Body. Notice of An Amendment Taxing In heritance. Washington, June 11. The first teat Votte on the sugar schedule was taken in the senate today, resulttoig In the adopitiori of the republican caucus amendment, changing the house rate to 1.95 per pound, hy the close votte off, yeas, 32; nays, 30. The affirmative vote was made up of 29 republicans; one democrat, McEnery, of Louisiana; one silver republican, Jones, of Nevada, and one populist, Stewart, of Nevada. The negative vote was made ut of twen'ty-five democrats, three? poipulists and two silver republicans. It was the closest vote 'thus far taken on an 'issue of Jtmportance and was accepted as showing that any amendment, having the sanction of the caucus, was assured of adoption. The. first paragraph of the sugar schedule -was no finally disposed, of up to the time of ad Journmeint. Senator Harris, of Kansas, Intro duced a resolution reditlng the status of affairs relating to the Union, Pacific railroad, and expressing the sense of the senate that the secretary of the treasury should take steps to pay off the liens prior to those of the govern ment and thlen to operate the road, or If that was not deemed, expedient, to adopt foreclosure prooetedinigs In the courts. The resolution went over. The tariff ibUl was taken up at 12:15 o'clock and the consideraitlon of the sugar schedule resumed. The parlia mentary status of 'the sugar discussion was as follows: The house paragraph (206), heing un der consideration, Senator Allison had moved to substitute 1.95 cents per pound for 1.875 cents as the rate on su gars above number 16, Dutch, stand ard. Senator Turpie, of Tndianai in teehaJf of the minority of the finance commit tee, gave notice of a new amendment to he offered as an addftional nara- graph to the internal revenue provi sions, placing a tax of 2 per cent, on estates of descedents, when the In heritance amounts to $5,000 or more, and is not for the benefit lof a reli gious, charitable , educational or like institution. The tax is to toe la force for five years from January 1, 1898. The amendment also provides for the details of collecting the Inheritance, tax. The ques'tion then reverted to the committee amendment- striking out 1.875 and substituting 1.95 cents. Sena tor Frye, of Maine, who was in, the hair, stated the question and a vote was about to ibe taken, Senator Jones asking Tor the yeas and nays. 'As the roll call was ahout to begin Senator Oaff ery, of Louisiana, took the floor and read a newspaper account of the growth and development of the sugar trust. The extracts read hy Senator Caffery were very long, cover ing an entire newspaper page. It gae in detail the profits of the trust hy years, its absorption of lessor sugar es'tahlishJments and the internal busi ness affairs of the organization. Sena tor Caffery then made an argument against the schedule which ,he said, proposed to give more to the sugar trust than the Wilson hill and that gave too -much. "The trust overshad ows the dearth with its powers," he said. ''Hawaii, the West Indies, Egypt, Java and. everywhere else that the trust's ships touch it commands the price. Are we going to accord this institution a further lease of power to raise and control the price SLt its own sweet wlll and caprice?"' A running debate occurred 'between Senators Whfte, of California; Piatt, of Connecticut; Gear, of Iowa, and Gorman, lof Maryland. Senator Stewart, .of Nevada, asked Senator Allison to state before the vdfre was taken, whether this bill gave the refiners greater advantage than: the present law. "I have no doubt," answered Senator Allison, "-that excluding the counter vailing duty this hill does not give a greater advantage to the sugar indus try than the Wilson bill." Senator Al lison, then proceeded to make a general statement. He proceeded to point out the changed conditions since 1846, when sugar earned a duty of 30 per cent. In those days, In the day of his boyhood, very little pure white sugar was seen. Now, no sugar came on the table of rich or poor that had not gone through some process of refining. The refining industry of this country was entitled to some protection. He then explained the Wousfe and senalte schedules.: "Do you helieve in protection to la bor or to capital?" interposed Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, "'That Is a generality," replied, Sena tor Allison, "to Which the senator Well knows my answer. I helieve m pro tection to American labor, but I (be lieve in protecting' American capital also from foreign capital," "Mr, Havemeyer, in his testimony," said Senator Tillman, "said that only 25,000 men were engaged in the sugar refinery industry. Yet you propose q give the refiners a differential which amounts to between $10,000,000 and, $20,- 000,000 for the protection of 25,000 men." Senator Bterry, of Arkansas, reverted to the contaminating influences of the sugar trust, and urged that the sen ate, toy its vote, putt, an end to the scandals surrounding this subject. Now was the opportunity, he declared, for republican senaJtors to make good their professBons of four years ago against the trusts. Senator Stewart said he did not ex pec t this tariff hill to afford any mate rial relief to the country, as there was a cancer of financial contraction which was eating at the vltuals of the coun try. The senator added that he was for the hill because he wanted tne peo ple to know it could not 'bring prosper ity,' 'any more than a 'bread and milk poultice coulq. bring prosperity." The vote was taken amid great ex pectation, resulting yeas, 32; nays, 30. "Senator Hoar gave nrt'ice of a new section to follow paragraph 206 provid ing for the appointment iby the presi dent of a commission of five persons who shall investigate and report at the next session of congress on' tha most advantageous methods of produc ing and refining sugar and what method will give to the consumers sugar at the least cost. lAt 5:10 !clook p. m. the hill was laid aside and the senate went into execu tive session, adjourning soon after, All Qnlet at Hnntsville.

London, Juno ; 11. The Madrid . oarre- posdsnt of The Pall Mall Oaeette lavi: It i thought that the cabinet, aa at pres ent constituted, will continue only during tne summer sojourn of the court at San Sebastian and that on the queen regent's return to the capital It will be radically changed. ' Senor Canovas del Castillo denies the re port of the retirement of Captain General Weyler; but, although for the moment he remains at his post, there is the best rea son for believing that his resignation has been received by the premier, to be ac cepted or not as the latter dems twst according to the circumstances of the moment. In the meantime Captain Gen eral Weyler has sent a telegram to the premier recommending that municipal elections be held immediately in Cuba. This may be the precursor of othr fnn. cilitory measures on his part, but Captain vjciicieu weyiers anieceaents are not such as to inspire confidence among the people of the island with regard to his bona fide direction of liberal reforms nor is the present re-habilitated government in a position to Keep him long at his post in view of the path that will have to h followed for a general pacification of Cuba. Reports are current that a Drivate under standing existed between Senor Canovas and Senor Sagasta, by the terms of which the latter is to succeed the former at the proper moment, but not at the present critical- juncture, so that the succession to power shall always be kept between the chief parties to the exclusion of minor factions, including the Carists and tne republicans."
