RECOGNITION STRUCK OUT,
One Hundred and Seventy-Nine to
One Hundred and Fifty-Nine.
NOW GOES BACK TO THE SENATE
Five Republicans, Vote With The
Democrats Will The Senate
Omit Recognition?
By wire to ThbTkl.bg ram.
Washington, April 18 An army of
American citizens large enough to take
Havana beseiged the house end of the
capitol this morning. Never since the
marble wing of the house was com
pleted, twenty years ago, has such a
crowd clamored for admittance. Speak
er Reed has adopted special rules for
thia occasion, by which only twelve
rows will be open to the public. The
balance of the gallery will be reserved;
each member of the house will receive
two tickets. Men and women were
gathered, about the building at six
o'clock this morning.
TO REMOVE RECOGNITION CLAUSE.
Washington, April 18 ThememberB
of congress were on hand early this
morning in response to a special no
tice by Reed. The republicans are
massing their forces to have the recog
nition clause of the resolutions struck
out.
ADJOURNMENT TILL NOON.
Washington, April 18 Immediately
after meeting congress adjourned until
nooh without transacting any business.
HOUSE BEGINS VOTING.
Washington, April 18 The house,
at 12:20, began voting on Congress
man Dingley's motion to strike from
the senate resolution the clause by
which recognition is made of the Re
public of Cuba.
Congressman Dingley's motion was
carried. The house then voted for the
senate resolution declaring that Spain
must evacuate Cuba and that the presi
dent use the army and navy to ac
complish this purpose. That the ex
isting Cuban republic be not recog
nized. Carried.
SENATE AND HOUSE WILL AGREE.
Washington, April 18 Great ap
plause by the democrats greeted the
reading of the senate resolution. Rep
resentative Cooper, of Wisconsin,
who visited the senate to learn the
probability there, reported that in his
opinion, the senate would accept the
house resolutions with the recogntion
omitted.
CONFERENCE IS NECESSARY.
Washington, April 18 It is now de
cided that the action of the house
makes it improbable to avoid appoint
ing a conference committee to agree to
resolutions.
START FOR TAMPA.
New York, April 18 Companies B
and F of the infantry, stationed at
Governor's Island, have received or
ders and will start to Tampa imme
diately. THE VOTE IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, April 18 Dingley's
motion to concur in the senate amend
ment, striking out the recognition of
Cuba was adopted by a vote of 179 to
155. The resolution as now amended
is to go back to the senate. The prob
abilities are that the senate will accept
the verdict of the honse without any
conference. The house completely sur-
rundered its own resolutions. Five
republicans voted with the democrats
in, favor of the recognition of the Cu
ban Republic.
Saturday Night at the Academy.
Faust, at the Academy of Music last
Saturday night was the best attraction
that has ever come to Greensboro. Mr.
John Griffith, as Mephisto, proved
himself worthy of the title of "one of
the best in his line on the American
stage." He showed himself the com
plete master of all the arts, devices
and designs of the evil one and gave
evidence of the devil's powerful influ
ence over mankind.
Kathryn Purnell, as Marguerite,
admirably sustained her part. The
electrical effects used in the play were
perfectly managed. The scene of hell
was intensely horrifying.
The last scene, "The Apothosis,
was perhaps the best. In the play of
Faust a strong moral lesson is taught
and one that is solemn in its inten
sity.
Manager Blackburn is to be con
gratulated on securing a play of such
high character.
The next attraction will be Mr
James Young, May 4th and 5th.

SATURDAY BALL GAME.
In Which Guilford College Defeats
Oak i Ridge.
Correspondence Telegram.
Guilford College, April 16 The
Guilford College base ball team met
and defeated their rivals of old, the
boys of Oak. Ridge Institute, on the
home ground thia afternoon by the
score of 9 to 7. No such excitetrent
and enthusiasm as was manifested here
this afternoon has been seen at Guil
ford for many years, and, considering
the almost universal success which has
attended the wearers of the red and
blue, the victory is one concerning
which the victors are unable to restrain
a certain degree of pride. The re
markable large crowd of about four
hundred witnessed the game and nearly
every one expected a howling victory
for Oak Ridge. Their record had
given them a right to expect it. The
Guilford boys scarcely knew what to
expect, but were hoping to put up a
stiff game. It is needless to say their
hopes were abundantly fulfilled. The
score tells the tale exactly.
The trouble with the visitors was
they couldn't hit the Guilford pitcher.
From the time they went to the bat
only to retnrn to the field without hav
ing touched a ball, until Morris, the
plucky little Guilford catcher, squeezed
the third strike which ended the battle,
everyone felt that Petty was winning
the game for old Guilford. He struck
out 13, no man on the opposite team
escaping this sad fate, while his op
ponent only vanquished 6. Besides
the battery Jim Fox should be men
tioned as having played a perfect
game at 3rd base.
The Oak Ridge team -deserves laud
able mention. They work well togeth
and surpass the Guilford boys in base
running. Their out-field is well nigh
perfect. Bennett, the short stop, is
a star player but became a little care
less once or twice.
The game, although hotly con tea ted,
was marked by the utmost good feel
ing between the boys, which is very
gratifying. Only one disputed point
arose and after discussion it was peace
ably left to the umpire.
The teams play at Oak Ridge two
weeks hence and in case Oak Ridge
wins the tie is to be played off in
Greensboro.
Lucien Smith umpired the game and
all his decisions were satisfactory.
The score by innings is:
Guilford 0 1 4.0 0 0 0 4 09
Oak Ridge 0 1000402 07
Base hits, Guilford 9; Oak Ridge, 7.
Struck out by Malone, 6; Petty 13.

AN IMPORTANT LETTER.
Written by the Late Dr. W. D.Whit
ney to Walter H. Page.
Among the great lights of modern
science there is none more widely
known than the late Dr. William
Dwight Whitney, of Yale University.
He was justly regarded as the highest
authority ( living or dead ) on the sub
ject of comparative philology. Dur
ing the absence of Prof. R. L. Garner
on his voyage to Africa, Mr. Walter
H. Page, then editor of the Forum
Magazine, wrote a letter of inquiry to
Dr. Whitney to ascertain his views as
to the merits and value of Prof. Gar
ner's discoveries and the following
letter in reply shows the high esteem in
which he held them:
Sagaponack, L. I., N. Y.,
July 9th, 1892.
Walter. W. H. Page,
Dear Sir In reply to yours of the
6th, forwarded hither by the first
mail after its receipt:
I have seen some of Mr. Garner's
papers, and have also had a little talk
with himself, and am very much pleased
both with what he has done and what
he proposes to do. His observations
are certainly of a very high degree of
interest, scientifically as well as to the
general public, and he has shown an
ability in making them that is of a
rare and high order; he may fairly be
said to have a genius for this particu
lar work. Even 11 he had a wrong
idea of their relation to the problem of
human language, I should think them
wholly worthy of being prosecuted,
and deserving of efficient aid. But
do not see that he has such wrong
idea; he estimates their scientific place
truly and fairly; and in all respects I
can bid him go ahead, following out
his own methods, and ,can wish him
.without reserve the best success and
encourage those who have a disposi
tion to aid him to do so. I am confi
dent that very important result will
follow from his labors.
Yours very truly,
W. D. Whitney.
COMINQ TO GREENSBORO.
An Excursion from Jonesboro, Sat.
urday, April 30.
We notice that posters are being
circulated advertising an excursion
from Jonesboro to this city Saturday,
April 30, under the management of
Mr. C. H. Russell. The rates are low,
the scheule convenient and a large
crowd- may be expected. The train
will arrive here at 9:30 a. m. and leave
about 6 p. m. on the return trip.
Mr. Russell says in his advertise
ment: "Greensboro is growing rapid
ly; new stores, new buildings," new
goods. Go and see and you will fael
better, think better of your country,
your neighbors and your homes. It's
refreshing to go to Greensboro; try it
and be eonvineed."
Our merchants might lookout for
this excursion and make it pleasant
for the visitors. The Telegram cir
culates all the way from Greensboro
to Jonesboro and you might also make
a note of this. The way to sell goods
is to place an advertisement before
the people who expect to buy goods.
A Nuisance.
We have heard some complaint
about goods boxes being piled on the
sidewalks in some parts of the city to
such an extent that pedestrians are
almost forced into the street. In one
or two instances ladies have had their
dresses torn in trying to pass these
barricades. Is -their a law against
this kind of thing? If there isn'tthere
should be; and if there is it should be
enforced.
