NOW THEY SAY EWART.
And That Ewart Wlff flean Demo-
.cratic Victory.
The Charlotte Observer' s W ashington
correspondent says:
Replying to newspaper reports to
the effect that he opposed the ap
pointment of Judge Douglas on ac
count of the alleged complications in
connectioff with ins administration
as United States marshal, Senator
Pritchard said: "The statement is
absolutely false. The only objection
I have suggested to his appointment
is that his'1 retirement from the Sta'e
Supreme Court bench would imperil a
change in the present complexion of
the court. On that account I have de
clined to recommend his appointment
and have so advised him."
"All this means the appointment of
Judge Ewart, and that means," said a
prominent Russellite Republican to
night, "the end of the fusion move
ment in this State, and consequents
the election of a democratic legisla
ture this year."
"Senator Pritchard," said one of
Senator Butler's confidential republi
can allies, "has made an indefensible
blunder, an egregious, fatal mistake
in this matter, and it is Senator But
ler's purpose to say to him that there
can be no fusion in the State that will
prevent the election of a democratic
legislature this year under his leader
ship." Judge Douglas will remain here un
til the appointment is made, and inti
mates his purpose to defeat Ewart's
confirmation.

A. C. Gunter's California Land is a
Sort of Klondyke Itself.
A. C. Gunter, formerly a real es

tion to enter into the true spirit of
California's gold jubilee, -which began
today.
Mr. Gunter has only recently struck
a veritable "Klondyke in that state.
Some time ago he exchanged some
property for lands in California. Both
parties to the transaction were of the
opinion that their respective proper
ties were valueless.
Mr. Gunter placed the deed to his
California property in a pigeon hole
and thought no more about it. Some
time since he received" a number of
letters making inquiries regarding the
property and finally . a letter came con
taining an offer for $50,000 for the
land. The,discovery was made that a
gold vein ran through the supposedly
worthless land. m
Mr. Gunter left yesterday for Cali
fornia where will investigate his gold
interests. Asheville Citizen.

Chicago, Jan. 24. State's Attorney
Charles S. Deenan began the cross
examination " of Adolph Luetgert at 3
p. m. today. The most material ad
vantage gained by the State was the
wide difference in the descriptions of
the appearance of the vat on Sunday
morning , given by Luetgert and Mr.
Charles. The latter said the vat con
tained tallow, unassimilated grease,
lye and some soap. Luetgert main-tained-rtr
was all "soapy substance"
and the difference between the top and
bottom was that the former was dark
er colored and slightly more fluid.
Fully a dozen questions were put and
repeated with the design of forcing the
witness to tell what the soapy sub
stance "looked like. He realized the
importance of the point and obsti
nately repeated his answer that it was
just "soapy substance."

"Do you mean to call that a victo
ry?" asked the war correspondent.
"Gertainly," replied the Spanish
official.
"But your men went flying in terror
before the insurgents. They consid
ered themselves lucky to get back at
all. You don't call that a victory, do
you?"
"Certainly. They got back, didn't
they?"
"Yes." '
