TO AROUSE ENTHUSIASM.
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.
The Annual Meeting of the Teachers'
Assembly.
It has been officially announced that
the next annual meeting of the North
Carolina Teachers' Assembly will be
held in Morehead City. Secretary W.
T. Whitsett annoujeed the decision of
the executive committee Monday. This
one of the few contests in which
Greensboro loses. A spirited contest
has been going on between this city,
Charlotte and Morehead City, each of
which claimed to be the best place for
the annual meeting. Through the ef
forts of the proprietors of the Atlantic
Hotel, the fight was won for Morehead
City, where the assembly owns it's
hall and the teachers will again meet.
fir. Buchanan Dead.
The grim reaper is doing his work
silently, amid the busy scenes, and old
and young pas out at his b dding.
This morning an aged citizen, Mr.
Thos Buchanan, aged 88 years, died
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.
H. Rankin, on Ashe 6treet. Mr. Buc-

Mrs. A. A. Crutchfield; also Mr. J.

from the residence tomorrow morning
and interment made in Greene Hill

Chicken and neat Theives.
7 he meat thieves who made a 6eries
f raids in and around Greensboro a
short while ago, are at the old game
again. The smoke house of Mr. Dan

limit on Asheboro street, was robbed
Sunday night. Tha thieves secured
several pounds of nice meat.
Mr. John DeWitt has been losing
hickens on the installment plan of
. m a 3
ate. He lives near tnecoaicnuie ana
ha9 missed two at a time for more than
once and this morning five were miss-
ng. The thief evidently scrutinized
things closely, as he also stole eggs
from under a setting hen.
Da? Wins His Case.
In the case of the 9tate prison against
Superintendent W. H.Day the supreme
court has decided Day is entitled to
possession of the property of the state
prison and to the control of the con
victs ts under the law of 1897, and has
right to execute the duties of-superintendent.
Justice Furches concurs in this
decision and Day wins his case.

AMERICANS AND BRITISH RETREAT.
Apia, Samoa, April 4, via Auckland
and San Francisco, April 12 Masaa-
fas warriors have ambushed a force
of a hundred to a hundred and fifty
American and British sailors and

San Francisco, April 12 The Call
today prints the following special
copy-righted dispatch:
Auckland, April 12 Eight hundred
Mataafas men ambuscaded one hun
dred and five Blue Jackets near Apia.
The fighting was terrific. The Ameri
can and British tars repeatedly drove
their assailants back, who fought with
overwhelmingly superior force. Lieut.
Lansdale, Ensign Monaghan, of the
Philadelphia, and Lieut. Freeman, of
the British gunboat, were killed.
After the rebals were driven off the
bodies of the three officers were recov
ered, after having been decapitated.
Four marines were killed. The Ma
taafas loss was forty killed, and a
large number wounded. Our dead
were buried with military honors at
Mulinan. There is constant fighting
with the natives around Apia, and the
life of no European on the Islands is
safe.
Ensign Managhan was gallantly
assisting Lieut. Lansdale, who had
been struck by a native bullet, when
he was shot and killed.
The German manager of tre planta
tion has been arrested and placed upon
a British warship. 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.

farmers are planting tobacco this year,

being the usual crop, through there
are a number who have planted tobac
co before who will have a two or three
barn crop. We also learn that the
building of a warehouse is assured.

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. Mr. Riddle
berger is a young man and has many
friends in Washington where he has
resided during the sessions cf congress
for many years. He Is a son of Ex-
Senator Riddleberger, of Virginia,
who represented the state in the senate
during the Mahone regime. For many
vah. Mr, Taiph Riddleberger was
head page of the senate. 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. Miss Henderson is a
daughter of Ex-Representative Hend
erson or .North Carolina. She did
not remain In Washington only just
long enough to make the proper rail
road connections.
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. The gen
tlemen, so far as can be learned, have
all returned to their homes.
Mrs. E. K. Jones, of Norfolk, Vir
ginia, and Miss Mary Page, of Aber

for a few days. The ladies are stop

the friends of Judge Ewart and they
say the president will reappoint him.
