TO RE-EXAMINE THE HULL.
By Wire to Thb Telegram.
Washington, Mch 4. It is offically
admitted by the navy department that
the naval inquiry board has completed
only the first branch of its inquiry in
to the cause of the Maine explosion.
No opinion is expressed as to when it
will be completed. Secretary Long
thinks the board will return to Havana
very soon to make a more detailed ex
amination of the hull of the Maine
and to reexamine the witnesses.
The secretary still gives assurances
that he has no information bearing
upon the cause of the explosion
which has not been given to the
public. This statement undoubtely
refers to the official correspondence.
President McKinley is indirect corres
pondence with Admiral Sicard but it
is possible that no correspondence
relative to the work of the board has
passed between them. This is official
ly stated to be a fact- That the Presi
dent has received some information of
some sort over this wire is likely.

The case of J. T. Scott vs. Western

The case grew out of delay on the
part of the company in transmitting a

Attorneys Scott and Staples appear

The question at issue was whether
the company rendered itself liable to

He called on the editor and demanded

and we never withdraw a statement;
but I'll tell you what we'll do for you.

uence or precaution in the present
alarming state of affairs and the most
stubborn obstacle opposing every pre

on this guess he persistently stops all

The Governors Lease Project,
The status of the lease of the Atlan-
nc oc lxortn Carolina nanroaa may
now be stated in a very few words. If
the railroads commisioners (Caldwell
and Pearson ) do as the Governor de
sires them to do, they will, npon the
strong showing made by the railroads
revoke their order reducing passenger
fares. In such a case the lease will
be made to the Southern. But if for
political reasons they decline to re
cede from a position which the rail
roads unite in declaring to be errone
ously taken, then the lease is off.
There are persons close to the Gover
nor who yet believe that the order will
be revoked after the exceptions of the
main lines of the railroad are care
fully considered. Col.

A New York firm applied to Abra

came President, for information as to
the financial standing of one of his
neighbors. Mr. Lincoln replied as
follows: "Yours of the 10th inst. re
ceived. I am well acquainted with
Mr. X., and know his circumstances.
First of all, he has a wife and baby;
together, they ought to be worth $50,-
Secondly, he has an office, in
which there are a table worth $1.50 an
three chairs, worth, say, $1. Last of
all, there is in one corner a large rat
hole which will bear looking into.

Portsmouth, Va., March 2. Walter
J. Holland, representing Beaton &
Holland commission merchants, of
Chicago, who was in Portsmouth to
day, said that he was in Havana the
night the Maine was blown up and
witnessed the explosion.
"Just before the awful, dull roar,
which was followed by two sharp de-.
tonations," he said, "I heard one
Spaniard remark to another : 'In
two minutes all of the Maine's. crew
will be in hell.' The scoffing and
laughing among the rabble while our
poor sailors were struggling in the
water was horrible to my ears."

Norwegian Editors Send Back Some
Pleasant Letters.
Secretary Ramsey,' of the agricul
tural department, has received letters
from several Norweigian editors who
recently came south to man investi
gations in this section with a view to
advising their countrymen in regard
to settling here.
All of them were sent Mr. Brunner's
book, "North Carolina and its Re
sources," and it is to thank Mr. Ram
sey for this that they write. Without
exception they speak in the highest
praise of the state, its lands and peo
ple, and all express aegret at their in
ability, because of a change in their
program, to stop in Raleigh.
One of them, Mr. Halle Steensland,
who is Swedish and Norweigian vice
consul at Madison, Wis., and also a
bank president, writes:
" A.B for myself I am satisfied that
many places in the Southern States
possess advantages of various kinds
that farmers do not have in the North,
especially if they would cultivate the
land there as they do here. The trouble
is to get our people to start. If they
are to start at all, as a rule, it will
have to be in colonies. I met several
Scandinavian farmers in the South
who appeard to be pleased with their
condition. More will undoubtedly fol

HISTORICAL RELIC FOUND.

Up In

Gardener Terry, of the Capitol squ
are, found a valuable relic yesterday
near the east gate of the Capitol
square, which will be placed among
the historical collection of war relics
in the State Museum.
While excavating near the rock
foundation of the old iron fence, Mr.
Terrv dug up a large cannon ball. It
is a six-pounder, and was evidently
placed there during the revolutionary
war.
The ball ' is now at the Adjutant
General's office. Maj. Hayes examin
ed the ball, which is badly eaten with
rust and he is of the opinion that it
was made during the time of the Re-
m .. ...
voiuuonary war. tie states tnat no
such balls were manufactured or used
during the Civil war.
The ball is oi the most ancient make,
and Maj. Hayes deems it a most valu
able relic. He will turn it over to the
curator of the museum. It has never
been discharged. Raleigh Post.

April 25, an overture complaining of
the heresy in Dr. Watson's work, "The

Synod to take steps to vindicate the

It is an interesting coincidence that
the Synod will meet In Dr. Watson's
