The fight which occurred Sunday mornlngat a disreputable house in East Greensboro, has not resulted so seriously as was expected. The young man who received the blow on the head was one Will Wilkinson.of Ashe ville, and the boy who delivered the blow was Charlie Morton, of this city. At the trial yesterday afternoon, Wil kinson's physician testified that was getting along nicely, but that he was unable to c&me to trial. When it was found that Wilkinson was out of danger, Morton was bailed, getting out of jail at 8 o'clock, last night. Roxy Burnham, at whosa house the fight occurred, was summoned to trial as a witness yesterday and having failed to appear, Mayor Taylor issued two warrants for her arrest one for failure to appear at the trial and one for keeping a disorderly house. In default of $100. bond she was sent to jail to await the next term of court. Wilkinson, realizing how disgrace ful the affair really was, while the po lice thought him confined in his room at the hotel, slipped out last night and boarded one of the Bouthbound trains which leave here soon after dark. He settled his hotel bill about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and after this the hotel people knew nothing of his whereabouts. This saves young Morton and his partners from a lawsuit as there is no one to push the case. Commissioners Meet.

Qovernor Russell's Visit to the Pres identMr. McKinley 's South ern Trip Begins Today. Special to the Telegram. Washington, Dec. 13 Senator Mor gan, af Alabama, who is in charge of the Nicaraguan canal bill in the-sen ate, in an interview last evening, pre dicted the passage of the bill through the senate-by a large majority, and is hopeful, in spite of the antagonism de veloped, of sending the bill to the house of representatives before the Christ mas holidays. The majority of the se Date is undoubtedly in favor of the early passage of the bill, and it is ex pected that the opponents of the meas ure will make their principal attack against it in the lower 'house. On a straight vote it is believed too that the house is overwhelmingly in favor of the construction of the canal, and of the passage of the bill at this season, but the rivalry which has developed over the opposition bills makes the passage of the measure in the house doubtful. There are reports of the presence of a powerful lobby, representing the Pacific railroads in Washington, but nothing definite as to this can be as certained, excepting the vague rumors and the intense opposition to the bill developing in the senate and house. It is said that the lobby reported to be assemblibg here for the purpose of de feating the measure has the financial backing of Mr. Collis P. Huntington, and other magnates of the - Pacific coast, representing the railroad inter ests of that section. The attitude of Senators Pritchard, and Butler upon the bill is uncertain. It is thought that both Senators will vote for the measure. In the house, the North Carolina delegation is re ported to be largely in favor of the proposition. Senator Morgan stated last night that he had no idea as to when a vote could be reached, as it depends entire ly upon the amount of time the oppos ing Senators deem that they are en titled to. Among the callers at the executive mansion yesterday afternoon was Gov. Russell. He was at once ushered into the presence of the president, and spent some time talking with the chief executive in relation to matters of in terest to the state troops. After the departure of the governor he returned to the Ebbitt House. He stated that his call was purely in reference to the state troops, and had no reference to the troubles in the south after the election. Another caller upon the president yesterday was Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, who has just returned here for the session of congress. The senator did not go to the'white bouse with Governor Russell, but preceded the governor. His visit was in refer ence to the coming order of the presi dent modifying the civil service laws, and other North Carolina matters. It is said that the matter of North Caro lina appointments remaining to be filled was one of the subjects in which Senator Pritchard was interested. It was stated at the Ebbitt House last night that the governor would re turn to Raleigh todajr. In the criminal court yesterday Charles Goldberg, a white youth, whose home is at Winston, North Carolina, was placed upon trial for housebreaking. Goldberg withdrew his plea of not guilty, and entered a plea of guilty. The father of the young man, and his young wife, both of whom came from Winston the oth er day, were present in the court room during the proceedings. A delegate from Augusta, Georgia, headed by ex-senator Patrick Walsh, called at the White House, and suc ceeded in getting the president's con sent to visit Augusta on his southern tour. The party leave Washington this afternoon about two o'clock. Col. L. S. Brown, of the Southern railroad, will be in personal charge of the distinguished party. During the president's absence from the city there will be very few, if any, nrpfliriantia.1 nominations sent to the t senate. Owing to this fact yesterday a number of senators and representa tives who have appointments pending, called at the white house to interest the president. Postmasters have been appointed in North Carolina as follows: Anna, Alleghany, Mrs. Ollie M Smith; Beech, Buncombe county, F. A. Penland; Cana, Davie county, John M . Bailey; Harman, Watauga, Polly W Edminston: Joy, Burke, John Deal; Partee, Alexander, Robert F. Tuttle Charles N. Jenk, of Asheville, is at the St. James Hotel. Mr. J. A. Smith, of Bessemer city, N.

We are glad to see Miss Katie Smith back at the millinery store after two weeks confinement with a severe cold. In talking about the electric lights, we often hear people speak about them being so many candle power. That must be the trouble with our street lights, so many candle power and now all of the tallow has melted and they are no candle power. In our round this morning "our gaze fell upon Jone's revolving photo dis play apparatus, and of course we could not held butdrop in. We found Mr. Jones very busy opening his new uniolo photo cards and mantello mounts, upon which he is now arrang ing his holiday goods. In addition to the above named new goods, his execssories are new. High Point has a photographer whose work is unex celled in the south. Ask him to show you his new work. A little Jew standing on the corner at Jarrell's Hotel yesterday asked; what time is the 11:40 train due here? Of course we replied the same time, wh.'ch made him laugh at himself for asking such a question. Mr. Murphy Brewer, of Carthage, has accepted a position on the Citizen. New steel rails are being laid on the side track of the Home Furniture Co. Geo. A. Matton's Christmas goods are on exhibition, call and see them. Cheered the New Judge. The joy of the people of North Car olina in the democratic victory of the 8th of November is continuous. There is evidence of this in the numerous cel ebrations of it which have been held in the state. There was quite remark able proof of it in Charlotte yesterday in the fact that Judge Dos&ey Battle entered the court house, to open his first court here, the people took off their hats and cheered him. It is doubtful if there was ever, a similar demonstration in the state before. Again last night, as Judge Battle en tered the opera house, he was applaud ed. Both incidents must have been very gratifying to him, as an individ ual aDd as a democrat. Charlotte Observer.

As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that whl'e our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate How can you get the public to know your make is tne oest r If both articles are brought promi nently before the public both are cer tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Coueh Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasion ally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reli able, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. .

Marsh, the former president of the Keystone National Bank, was this morning sentenced to twelve years. He plead guilty to the indictments against him tor conspiracy with Cash- er Lawrence for misapplying funds of the bank, and making false reports to the comptroller of currency. Marsh has been a fugitive since 1891. It was thought that Marsh would make a statement implicating others with wrecking the bank, when sentenc ed, but he merely informed the court that his predecessor as president of the bank, left a defalcation of over a million, and that he (Marsh) was nev er profited a dollar thrcugh the bank's losses. Here he broke down and was unable to proceed further. He trem bled perceptibly when he was sentenc ed, and the expression on his face told that he expected lighter punish ment. CONGRESS TODAY.

By Wire to Thb Tklbgbam New York, Dec. 13 The Herald representative in the Philippines has ascertained the feelings of the Fflip pinos toward the Americans. The naval and military officers want the regime which shouldbe established. He visited the provinces and found the rebel forces well armed. The lowest type Is opposed to American rule in any form. After a comprehensive glance the correspondent was convinced that It is impossible to recognize the native re public. The peacefully disposed Fil ippinos are disgusted with the request of Aguinaldo, who will be compelled to withdraw. Among military and.? naval circles here It is held that- a;-decisive blow ought to be struck and American rule established gradually, but firmly. Twenty-five thousand men with modern artillery will be sufficient to disband the rebels. PROCLAMATION TO FTUPPINOS.
