Prof. Wilson, of Haverford College,'
Pa., and Newton Farlow, who won
fame as Guilford's guard last year.

NOT OVER THE FASHODA AFFAIR.
It Is Thought That Russia Has Ta
ken Advantage of Circumstances
to Push Her Eastern Policy.
By Cable to the Telegram.
London, Nov. 2 Suspicion has
arisen that the extraordinary prepa
rations which have been made for war
during the last few days under cover
of the Egyptian crisis, are in fact in
tended to put Britain in proper condi
tion for meeting Russia. Certain it is
that no such preparations for armed
conflict have been indulged in by Great
Britain since the Crimean war.
Furthermore, these preparations are
not called forth by the Fashoda af
fair, for France has practieally ac
ceded to all the demands of England
on that score. Captain Baratier is
now returning to Egypt and Fashoda
with orders to the French forces to
withdraw westward to the fortified
posts in the confines of Bahrel-Ghazil.
EXCEED' NGLY WARLIKE.

Peacock, have been ordered cleared
for action and to be ready for the sea
on short'notice.
The first-class battleship Victorious,
and the first-class cruiser Undaunted,
are at Chefoo, near here, coaling to
their full capacity. The greatest se
crecy is maintained regarding the
meaning of these warlike preparations
but there is- no doubt that Important
instructions are expected momentarily.
A large Russian fleet has assembled at

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
London, Nov. 2. The Globe, com
menting upon the telegrams received
from Wei-Hai-Wei, announcing the
readiness of the British warships for
action, and the assemblage of a large
Russian fleet at Port Arthur, says:
"Matters are of the gravest impor
tance, especially when taken in con
junction with the extraordinary prep
arations for war, which have been in
progress on both sides of the English
Channel during the last ten days. In
the absense of more definite informa
tion it must be surmised that Russia is
taking advan'age of the present ten
sion between England and France, and
has pushed her far eastern policy to
unbearable lengths by forcibly taking
possession of the valuable treaty port
of New Chwang."

Speaks in Asbevllle.
James E. Boyd, of Greensboro, as
sistant United States attorney general,
addressed a republican gathering last
evening in the court house. The court
room was well filled and the speech
was favorably received by the repub
licans present. Mr. Boyd's talk was
principally along national lines. He
said that President McKinley's strong
hand bad advanced liberty, civiliza
tion and Christianity. The president's
war and expansion policies were ap
proved'. With reference to the North Carolina
race trouble, Mr. Boyd said that he
had returned to the State with the hope
of finding peace and good order ; in
stead he had found appearances of
disorder. He thought the conditions
which prevailed for a time at Wil
mington were a disgrace to the State,
and he .was glad that he did not be
long to a party that believed in car
rying elections with bayonets and Gat
ling guns. Asheville Citizen.

SENATOR MITCHELL'S OPINION.
He Believes Van Wyck Will Be
Elected and that the Next Con.
- ' gress Will Be Democratic.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 2.
Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, is
in Washington, enroute home where
he goes to vote in the State election
next week. The Senator was seen last
night, and he states that from his per
sonal observations gathered during
his visit to New York State that he is
satisfied that Col. Rosevelt will be de
feated for the Governorship by Van
Wyck, and that the New York legisla
ture will be democratic, which will in
sure the election of a democratic Sen
ator to succeed Senator Murphy.
Senator Mitchell does not believe
that the republicans will have a major
ity in the Senate after the fourth of
next March, and heJbases this opinion
upon the possibility of the democrats
retaining the seats now held in the
Senate from New York, New Jersey,
West Virginia and California. The
Senator admits that Wisconsin is like
ly to elect a republican to succeed him
self, but he says that gaining one
seat in Wisconsin will not gire the
Senate to the Republicans. As re
gards the House of Representatives the
Senator believes that the elections will
result in a democratic majority in the
next Congress, and he says that one
or two seats may be gained in Wiscon
sin. In speaking of the subjects which
are likely to attract the attention of
the Senate and House at te coming
session, the Senator said that, of
course, the Philippine question will be
the paramount one. The Senator is
opposed to further territorial exten
sion, and he says. the debate on the
subject next winter in the Senate will
be a protracted one. Many of the re
publican Senators at heart were op
posed to the annexation of Hawaii,
and the Senator-from Wisconsin is of
the opinion that several republicans
will vote against the annexation of
the Philippines, if the treaty of peace
provides for such annexation.
T. M. Emerson, the well known rail
road man of North Carolina, arrived
fn Washington yesterday morning.
He is here in relation to the transpor
tation of troops to the southern camps
and was at the war department during
the day. Mr. Emerson, has watched
the political situation in the state very
carefully and he is confident of demo
cratic success in the state. He said that
for the past two years the business in
terests have suffered to an extent
which can hardly be realized by per
sons outside of North Carolina. The
businessmen of the state, he said can
not tolerate these conditions longer
and are determined to right the matter
at the polls next week.
The movement of the troops for the
winter camps in South Carolina and
Georgiahaving begun and the railroads
running through the south are natur
ally much interested in the transpor
tation business. A large number of
the passenger agents and representa
tives of the passenger departments of
the various leading southern lines are
in the city pursuant to an invitation
to meet the Quartermaster General.
Prominent railroad officials represent
ing all of the roads, and especially
those penetrating the south are here.
The Southern, Seaboard Air Line and
Norfolk and Western, The South Car
olina and Georgia, the gulf lines and
the east and west coast systems of
Florida, and in fact all the leading
lines of the south are represented.
Most of the railroad officials are stop
ping at the Hotel Raleigh, and the ar
rivals during the day yesterday were
numerous.
Edward C. Wilcox, a well know cit
izen of Asheville, is in the city. He
is stopping at the Ebbitt . House. Mr.
Wilcox said yesterday that he was of
the opinion that Representative Pear
son, of the Asheville district, would be
defeated at the coming election.
At the War Department it is said
that General Lee will leave for the
South at once. It is understood he
leaves Richmond this afternoon. The
General will be accompanied by Gov
ernor Tyler, of Virginia, and staff.
It is said that Mrs. William C.Whit
ney may spend a portion of the winter
in South Carolina. If so it will prob
ably be in the vicinity of Aiken. Her
physician, Dr. McGahan, recently re
turned to his home at Aiken, passing
through Washington. Friends of Mrs.
Whitney say that while her general
health is good, that she recovers from
her accident very slowly, and some
doubts are expressed as to whether she
will ever fully recover from the effects.
It is said that she will also spend some
time in the vicinity of Asheville.
General William R. Cox has re
turned to North Carolina, and he will
remain in the State until after the elec
tion next week. Gen. Cox thinks that
a majority of the North Carolina del
egation will be democrats in the next
Congress.
The defeat of White, the colored rep
resentative, is looked for at democratic
headquarters in this city. Chairman
Kerr stated last night that advices re
ceived from the district indicate that
the populist nominee is gaining ground
in the district.
Among North Carolina people in

regard to the military occupation of
Cuba:
