Ward, THAT PUBLIC Government Superintendent of Construction is Here. LOOKING INTO THE CONDITION Of the Present Building No More Land Will be Needed for the Pro posed Improvement. Capt. John H. Devereux, superin tendent of co istruction of public buildings, is in the city. He came here from Wilmington last Friday on a telegraphic order from Wrshington to look into the condition of the pub lic building here with a view to its preservation and also in regard to certain work that has just been com pleted by Contractor "Woodroffe to see whether it had been done accord ing to contract. Mr. Devereux also stated that he was directed to examine the land and surroundings with a view to the enlargement of the building. He said that he had made exact measure ments of the grounds owned by the United States and that the govern ment would not need any additional ground and that if it was desired to enlarge the building it could be done without the delay consequent upon con demning and buying land. The visiting inspector is in close consultation with the federal officers located here and it is hoped and be lieved that Greensboro will soon have a public building in keeping with its prosperity and importance. It will be recalled that some time since a bill was introduced in con gress carrying an appropriation for the enlargement of the public building here. The government is fortunate in hav ing in its service a man who is at once so courteous and efficient as Superin tendent Devereux. He knows his busi ness thoroughly and is as careful of the interests of the government as though they were his own. Mr. Devereux returns to Wilmington tomorrow. THE SOUTH BOUND TO WIN. What Two New England Mill Men Said of Our Mills. Two gentlemen connected with the New England cotton milling industry were discussing the recent mill strikes and the condition of Southern mills recently at one of our hotels. One of them remarked that southern cotton mills were gradually extending their operations to the manufacture of new varieties of fabrics and gave it as his opinion that northern knitters would soon begin to feel southern competi tion. The other agreed with him and ad ded "southern mills are bound to win in the long run. Everything is in their favor. The climate is better, the operatives can live more cheaply, labor is therefore less costly,the cotton is grown at the doors of the mills and freight has to be paid one way only while fuel is cheaper because many of of the mills use wood wholly or in part." This is given as expressing the un biased opinion of northern mill men. They were not making after dinner speeches nor writing articles for pub lication. Cut in Two a Fishing Smack.

Van Lindley, of Pomona Hill Nurseries, 1$ In It. The North Carolina exposition car, "The City of Charlotte," has been ex hibiting in this city for two days. On Saturday over a thousand people vis' ited it and today the number promises to be as large. The car is elegant and the exhibits of North Carolina pro ducts, consisting in wood, stone, min eral, fish, game, cereals and fruits, is quite complete and attractive, consid ering the space occupied and is well worth several times the small price of admission. The particular exhibit which inter' ested The Telegram man most was the fruit. This exhibit is composed of some of the finest and most luscious looking specimens of apples, peaches, pears, grapes, etc., which" we have ever seen and compares quite favor ably with the finest California fruit Most of it was grown by Mr. J. Van Lindley, our enterprising countyman, the owner and proprietor of the Po mona Hill Nurseries, and who has large fruit-growing interests in Moore county. Mr. Lindley is the only Guilford county man represented in the exhibit. He has a beautiful and attractive ad vertisement on each side of the car, showing a picture of a field of young nursery stock and specimens of the many varieties of fruits grown by him. We congratulate Mr. Lindley on se curing advertising space on the car, as well as on the fine specimens of fruits displayed inside. With many visitors the fruit exhibit is the chief attraction, and we are proud that it was grown by a Guilford county man. St. Valentine's Day.

HE IS A WHITE ELEPHANT. A flere Figure-Head and Was Not Consulted By Administration In DeLome Incident. By Wire to Thk Telegram. Washington, Feb. 14 If the wishes and entreaties of his family and friends prevail John Sherman will re- sign his postion as secretary of state immediately. It would create no sur prise here if he gave up the portfolio in a day or two. The situation for some time has been embarrassing for all concerned. It was accentuated by the DeLome affair in which he as a cabinet officer was not consulted at any time and was more in the dark as to the action of the state department than two-thirds of the people at Wash ington. This was made painfully ap parent by the interviews and private statements of Sherman. His friends and family have urged that he resign as soon as possible after the incident is over. RESOLUTION ADOPTED. Later The house committee on for eign affairs reported and called up for consideration the house resolution calling upon the secretary of state for information as to Spain's dealings with the starving Cubans and as to the progress of the efforts for auton omy. After a-short debate the reso lution was adopted. The senate's foreign relations com mittee reported against placing Allen's belligerency amendment on the con sular bill and recommended that it be tabled. Senator Allen spoke on his resolu tion providing for free coinageof silver without waiting for action of any other country. ARMED WITH TOBACCO. A Striker Was Shot and Then Robbed of Three Cents.

He had no idea who took his little store. He said that he was armed only with some tobacco. He said that none of the strikers had clubs or weapons.

By Cable to The Telegram Paris, Feb. 14 The garrison of this city has been reinforced by troops from Versailles. The Populist Address. Washington, Feb. 12. The populist members of the senate and house of representatives held a conference to night in the committee room of sena tor Allen, of Nebraska, for the pur pose of considering the address which is to be issued to the people of the United States early next week. The address, which was prepared by Sena tors Butler and Allen, in colabora- tion with other prominent populists in congress, was approved and signed by all present, after a general but in formal discussion of its features. It probably will be given out for publi cation in the morning newspapers of Tuesday. - De Lome's Views, Not Spain's. Havana, Feb. 12 Sagasta has said, it is stated: "Probably Dupuy DeLome wrote the letter to Canalejas after the president's message, because he felt disappointed and because some parts of that docii ment had not answered his forecasts, as he had previously told us that the persident would be even more fa vorable to Spain than he showed himself in his message. "Anyhow, De Lomashad no business to commit himself to any such offen sive remarks in a letter to a simple acquaintance, particularyly when he expressed views contrary to the gov ernment he represented."
