The Fire Department Takes Steps To Qet The People to Talking. There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Greensboro Volunteer Fire De partment last night. The members are working for the tournament in a bus! ness-like way. And every member is working hard. Things are being taken up in the right way and the tourna ment is bound to be a big success. While the business of the central, finance and other committees is impor tant, the business of the department is of no less significance. One of the most important duties that devolves upon the department is to arouse en thusiasm and get the peop'e to talking the tournament and at the meeting last night, steps were taken to do this. An entertainment committee cot posed of E L.Clarz.B.A.Boone and J. H Prince was appointed. The duty of the commit tee is to ascertain number of guests each hotel and boarding house in the city can accommodate and what rates will be provided for the tournament. It was also decided to have a department parade next Tuesday afternoon. Every piece of fire apparatus in the depart ment aad every fireman who possibly can will take part in the parade. The idea is to get the people to talking, for the tournament is but little more than ninety days off and the people cannot show their interest and enthu siasm too soon. Talk the tournament at hr me and when you go abroad and help to make it the grandest tourna ment and industrial exhibition the state has ever known. MOREHEAD CITY WINS.

He was seen urg ing the natives to fight. GERMANY'S UNFR1ENDLJN SS . Washington, April 12 Surprise and consternation are expressed upon every hand at the seriousness of the Samoan occurrence. Beneath all the comments there is the most bitter criti cism of Germany's evident unfriend liness to the United States. Officially there is no such criticism, but mem bers of the administration privately do not hesitate to declare that Ger many's unfriendliness is at the bottom of the trouble.

TRACY'S NORTH CAROLINA'S CLAIMS (JpOO the I. S for EXpeilSeS lH- curred During the War. THE TROUBLE BEING ADJUSTED And it Will Hardly Be Necessary to Refer the flatter to Congress. Some Already Paid. Special to the Telegram. Washington, April 12 At the treas ury department, in reply to inquiries, it was stated yesterday morning that the claims of South Carolina and other southern states for expenses in curred during the Spanish war for providing for and maintaining the volunteer troops, are now being paid The department is paying the claims as rapidly as possible after the vouch ers are received duly signed. judge Townsend, privata secretary to Senator McLaurin, was in the city for some time in connection with the South Carolina claims, but has re turned to the state It is understood that some of the claims have been re turned to Columbia on account of errors in properly Sinner out the vouchers, but they will be paid as soon as they can be corrected. The claims of Virginia, North Caro lina and of other southern states which have been held up are also being re ceived at the treasury department and settled as rapidly as is possible unrer the routine of the treasury depart ment. It was stated at the treasury that it will not be long before all of the legitimate claims against the gov ernment growing out of the Spanish war have been settled. For some time the claims of North Carolina, and one or two of the other states, were in such condition that it appeared as if it would be necessary to refer them to congress for congres sional legislation before they could be paid by the treasury department, but it was stated yesterday that the trouble over these claims are now being straightened out, and it is hoped that the necessity for such action can be avoided. A number of the North Car olina claims have already been paid by ihe department. It was reported yesterday that Mr. Ralph Riddleberger has removed his residence to Norfolk, Virginia, where he goes for the purpose of entering into the practice of law.

He has a pleasing manner, is a young man of estimable qualities, and has the facul ty of making and keeping friends. It is said by his friends that he resembles his distinguished father in many par ticulars. Miss Bessie Henderson, of North Carolina, passed through Washington the other day enroute to Baltimore where she goes for the purpose of vis iting friends.

The latter part of last week several Virginia democrats, including Repre sentative Jones, Lamb and Rixey, Attorney General Montague, and Hon. J. Walton Moore, were in the city. These gentlemen were all signers of the recent call for a conference upon the subject of a popular primary, but it is said that nothing in the nature 'of a conference between the gentlemen was held here, or at least nothing to that effect will be admitted.
