London. April 6.-5 a. m. Whatever the reasons may be, considerable dis satisfaction Is beginning to be exprts? ed here at the unaccountable delay, both at Illoemfontein and in Natal, which enables the Boers to recover from the demoralization caused by Lord Roberts' former movements. The enemy evidently now hope to re tard the advance by threat -nmcr tho railway behind Lord Roberts. Si far as the Natal railways are concernoir, repairs are being made beyond Klandslaayte, and the idea, so often repeated, Is that an advance is immi nent. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Ladysmlth says that the Boer investing positions reveal immense Btrength, Ingenious construction and Immunity from the British shrapne! and lyddite fire. A dispatch from Ladysmlth to the Daily Chronicle gives serious news cf the outbreak of a deadly lung sickness among the oxen, which, if it spreads, is likely to cripple General Buller's operations. Frum Bourcnzo Marques comes the report that Mr. Steyn has been ap pointed commandant of the Free State forces. Although Colonel Plumer is reported to have gotten within six miles of Mafek'ng, it is evident that the siege had not been raised on April 1st. To ward the end of this month Colonel Plumer will be reinforced by the troop3 now going by way of Beira, so that re lief cannot be far distant. London, April 6. The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "General Clements' division, 6000 strong, has arrived from the southward and has encamped five miles north of the city, after a continuous march for a fortnight. There is no danger of a wa ter famine here. An important en gagement lasting several hours was fought yesterday afternoon at Bosman Kop between the Beer and British out posts. At a meeting of the Army Temperance Association Monday Lord Boberts made a speech urging the sol diers to join the association. He eulo gized their splendid work, adding that the entire army had been members of the association while along the Modder river, as water was all they had to drink and sometimes there was very lit tle of that." London. April 5. 1:55 p. m. A special dispatch from Iorenzo Marques says sharp fighting occurred April 2d in the neighborhood of Mafeking. The garri son made a sortie, while Colonel Plund er's cavalry attacked the Boers at llamathlabama. Both attacks were re pulsed. Twenty of Colonel Plumer's men were found dead on the field and six others were made prisoners. The Federal losses were small. Pretoria. April 3. In the fight of llamathlabama. March 31st, the fol lowing were taken prisoners: Captains Crewe, Puncan-Robertson and Mc Iaren: Crewe and Duncan-Robertson have since died; staff officers Cecil and Granville and nine soldiers, of whom six were wounded. The prisoners all belonged to Colonel Plumer's Rhode sian force. Thaba N'Chu Is now in pos session of the Federals. Forty-one British subjects were es corted across the Ixirder this morning. London, April 5. It is thought the officer named Cecil, captured at Ramathlabama. is not Lord Salisbury's son. Lord Cecil, as the dispatch says he belonged to Colonel Plumer's force, and If the Boers had captured the Premier's son they would assuredly herald the fact. Ixnached bodies of Boer horse, num bering from 500 to 1000 each, have ap peared at several places to the south ward and eastward of Bloemfontein, threatening thr railroad, but commu r.ieation by rail and wire is not in the least affected. One of these forces is near Springfonteln. on the east Bloem fontein railroad, and General Gatacre'9 forces are reported .o be about to en gage it. Lord Roberts, except to safe guard the railroad, seemingly declines to send columns chasing the Boer bands. He is reservlrg his cavalry and transport animals for the forward movement. Kxplanations having indi rect origin in the V; r Office as to why Bind Huberts is inee ;ve. are that there has been a lack ( horses for re- liii unts. but new h s are arriving by train loads hour'. The pressure on the raUri-ad is so great that private par cels and the officers' newspapers have not been forwarded from Cape Town for three weeks. The situation in the Free State re mains far from clear and is unsatlxfac tery to British observers. The sickness among the Boer prisoners at Sirnons tuwn continues t" increase. Five men died April 3d. The prisoners who were cm board the transport Mongolian have been transferred to the shore camp. 1'nless the sickness abates, it is not likely that more prisoners will be sent to St. Helena. Till: SIK.GE K MAFEKING. Mafeking. March 23.- There has been little excitement during the past week. The l'n r shell lire crimes in fitful gusts and has little effect. The British casual ties are almost nil. The Uoers seem to be breaking up their main laager westward, bet have taken up an entrenched position northward, with the view of preventing the approach of a relief. The sharpshoot ers keep up a steady interchange or nre. It is rumored that relief is near. The usual Sunday truce enables the garrison to continue playing cricket matches. Mahete, a native chief southward, has broken out against the Boers. There was heavy firing in the direction of his chief kraal March An Irish-American trooper of the Pro tectorate Regiment has deserted to the Boers. A reward of 50 has been offered for his capture, dead or alive. ELECTED PRESIDENT OF TULANR UNIVERSITY. New Orleans. April 5. Edwin A.

In the death of General Piet Joubert the Transvaal republic has suffered just such a loss as was sustained by the Southern Confederacy in the death of Stonewall Jackson. Indeed, the Boer general combined many of the qualities of both Lee and Jackson, being skillful in the direction and swift and territic in the execution of military movements. It was to his masterly supei vision that the little Dutch republic owes its compact and effective military system, which en abled it to strike such stunninr blows in the earlier months of the present war as to arouse all Britain as it lias seldom before been aroused. Head- ministered the severest blows to British pride and prestige that the imperial army has ever suffered. Joubert was an impetuous soldier and his judgment was not always faultless. In most cases, however, his impetuosity carried the dav. Kruger was the more conservative and cautious, and it mav be said of the two men that one was the com plement of the other. Joubert made a great name for him self by his success at Majuba Hill six teen years ago, but he added much to his reputation for generalship by his record in the present war. It was in execution of his plans that Natal was overrun and the British shut up in Ladysniith, Kimberley and Mafeking. It was through his masterly strategy that Gatacre, Methuen, Buller and every other British general was suc cessively drawn into ambuscade or forced to fight at such a disadvantage that the inferior forces of the Boers time after time defeated the best troops of Great Britain. It is now known that Buller and his subordinate commanders in every battle over matched in numbers their Boer op ponents. Yet these superior forces were humiliated and demoralized by successive defeats at the hands of their despised adversaries. The record of Joubert as a soldier and as a man is one to be proud of and to which even his foes bear eloquent testimony. flake the Rule Work Both Ways. CWilkesboro Chronicle.) Those who are raising so much mud about "taxation without repre sentation'" confine themselves to the "poor negro." They have nothing to say when it comes to the white race. The poor white woman who owns a few acres and a cow and has to sup port a family of children, must pay the tax just the same or be sold out of house and home. But she has no voice in the elections. She gets uo sympathy. But propose some means of protecting the woman's property from the hired vote of some negro who does not pay a cent of tax and we hear a howl of "taxation without representation. " In Vilkcs county in 1898 nearly 1000 negroes voted and the county went Republican by nearly 1000. That same year 190 negroes paid poll tax. The poll tax all goes to schools, together w ith a small prop erty tax. About $1,000 were spent for public colored schools that year and of course the deficiency was made up of taxes on white property, and many poor white women with small properties naa to pay ttieir proportion 01 tax ior negro scnoois. i.cl s nave a little justice in the matter and make the rule work both ways, and if the negro won't pay to support his own schools, don't let him vote to tax some widow's property to pay for what he ought to pay himself. The poor white widows need a little of the sympathy these fellows are be- stowing on the big lazy negro. Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism. Kexxa, Jackson Co., W. Va.

The Kind You Hare Always Bought Bears the Signature of SIMMONS' WARNING. THE DEflOCRATIC CHAIRIAN GUARD. ON He Warns Democrats of the Reck less Plots of Incendiary Leaders Among: the Opposition Rabid Agi tators Playing With Fire Black burn's Threat of Assassination in Line With the Talk of Butler, Mol ton, Linney, and Pritchard. (Wilmington Messenger.) The vigilant .ad able Democratic chairman, Hon. F. M. Simmons, is not too soon in sending: out his warniuc to the white democrats as to the plots of reckless, heartless, incendiary lead ers of the Republican and Populist parties. These rabid and senseless agitators and plotters are playing with lire as they will find if they ever start their deviltry. That fellow Blackburn's threat of assassination in his silly ravings at Newton, will re act powerfully when considered in connection with the vile threats of Chairman Holton, and the incendiary and bravado displays of Butler and Linnev, all following the well known conduct of Jeter Pritchard in trying to bring down upon the white people of North Carolina the blue coats of the United States army to intimidate and, if need be, control elections with bayonets. If there were ever heed less, soulless conspirators they are these low fellows of the baser sort men who to keep their grip upon oflice would set in motion a campaign of blood throughout a state that prob ably numbers 1,800,000 inhabitants. Chairman Simmons very wisely and properly forewarns the true men of the white race to be on their watch. The truth is they should be on their guard, armed for coullict if it comes, and ready for any appeal whether for peace or violence. He points to the many evidences of a plot for violence. If the white men of bad morals and low natures, consumed by a lust for pelf and an ambition to play the role of dictators, dare to start a conflict, then they will find that they will be met bv violence in turn. If the ne groes do not desire to briug upon themselves great troubles and disas ters they must keep away from the vile white skuis who would allure them to their ruin. If they allow themselves to be used as tools to bring on trouble with the whites it is not hard to ascertain who will lie the chief sufferers in the end. Do your voting but shun as voti would the devil himelf '! , treiehero'is. white traitors who are simply using you to keep their offices or to obtain a fresh grip on the great swill-tub in Wash ington. The best friends of the ne gro race are now and have always been the white men in the South of character. But these men will not tolerate any acts of violence on the part of negroes without suppressing them with the strong and mailed hand of power. The white men who mean to rule are not the men to re sort to any violence unless forced to do so in the maintenance of their rights, the enforcement of law, and the repression of evil and evil-doers. Mr. E. V. Cox, of Pitt county, is a Republican, and we are quite sure bv much odds the ablest and wisest of his party in North Carolina. In a verv convincing and thoughtful com- munication on the amendment, he has some wise words for the negroes. Re member they are the words of a Re publican and not of a Democrat. We copy at much length : "Every intelligent negro with a single spark of gratitude in his heart for all the benefits that have been heaped upon his race by the white people, the tax-payers, for the past thirty years, and this too in the face of the fact that the negro in politics has stubbornly opposed all the time the majority of the whites, must see in the final settlement of the suffrage question the beginning of an era of better relat ions betwecu the two races. In the heart of every South ern white man there exists the most kindly feeling for the negro race. Emerging from the civil war with his country in ruins, his property de stroyed, his home in ashes, his family in distress, he at once begins to share his taxes with the children of his former slaves, and ever since from his own hard-earned money has been building asylums for t'ne afflicted of the negro race and erecting schools for their children, giving them all the advantages of a free school education j Have vou ever thought, colored men, that if" all the money which has been applied from the taxes paid by white men to tlie schools of both races had been given to the white children alone that the white schools would now be running eight or nine months in the year instead of four and that there would be but few white illiterates in the State, while nearly all of the ne- j crro children would still be in darkest j ignorance? If you have not vou had better do so before you allow ambi tious and office-hungry politicians to so arouse your passions and nreiu- i dices that your eyes will be closed not only to the best interests of your j State, but also to vour own. ..j write ,nis in friendship for the n for t believe he 0 more temporarily disfranchised. Every one who can not vote under the edu cational qualification will see the great benefit of an education and will be stimulated to increase his efforts in this direction until he is or at least his children are able to take : his place among the most fortunate I of the race. The allowance for his schools and his asylums is to be con tinued and every inducement held out to him to augment it by his own ef ; forts. He will be given an opportun I ity to fit himself for suffrage, intelli gent suffrage. He w ill be encouraged ; to save money and acquire property. He may form whatever political align ' ment he pleases. He must in his own : race separate the good from the vic ' ious. He must frown down from among his people all the low slander ! ers of the white race, who knowing the of their constituents cloak their designs for money and of fice in inflammatory utterances against a superior race." Don't Give It Up, fir. President. Baltimore Sun.j President McKinley should not be discouraged because his first tender of the good offices of the United States to bring about peace in South Africa was courteously declined by Lord Salisbury. The war is not over yet and the British troops have not occu pied Pretoria. Before they get there the fighting may be of such a desper ate character that Lord Salisbury will be willing to reconsider his decision to wipe out the Boer republics. The British government can safeguard its interests in South Africa without de stroying the republics. To adopt the policy outlined in Lord Salisbury's re ply to Presidents Kruger and Steyn would indicate that revenge was the object of the war rather than the "equality of all white men in Scuth Africa." The Boers can be given in dependence without imperiling Brit ish interests, unless there should be in the future another Jameson raid. To that attack upon the Transvaal is due the armament to which Lord Salisbury refers iu his reply to Presi dents Kruger and Steyn, but the cause of which he conveniently ignores. The Boers have had a very impressive object lesson in regard to the resources of the British empire, and it is not likely that with fair treatment in the future they would invite another in vasion by an army over 200,000 strong. The British government ought, as a matter of policy and statecraft, to be careful how it snuffs the life out of a republic. English statesmen are said to be anxious to retain the friendship of the United States in view of the possibility of European complications in the future. A most effective way of retaining the highly prized friend ship of the great American republic would be to display magnanimity to its sister republics in South Africa. Will President McKinley say some thing along that line to Lord Salis bury? Dorsr-y Drua; Co. guarantees every bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and will refund the money to anyone who is not satisfied after using two-thirds of the con te:it.

It's Flags they Want, Eh? (Raleigh Fost.) 'xne great' neeu nere, says a kah. of the regular army, now on duty in the Philippines in a letter to the New York Situ, "is of new United States flags. Lots ot natives would fly them if they could get them. Tell your patriotic societies this. What is wanted is a large number of cheap flags, in size about two by four feet." This reminds us: One Dutchman meets another on one occssion walking down the street moaning and groan ing piteously, with the side of his head vigorously supported by his hand. "Vat's der matter, Shacob?" asked No. 1, sympathetically. With an uncontrollable outburst of grief, No. 2 replied: "Mine poor, dear vife is det." "Oh," cheerfully responded No. 1, "ish dot all? It vas der doothaehe I thought it vaz." The troubles of these Filipinos come from a yearning for little flags rather than a loss of country, as we had sup posed. We will give them happiness if we have to smother them with flags. But our rifles and rum must go along with the flags. MEETING OF C. C. BLACKN ALL CHAPTER. Institution of New Features Among the N. C. Daughters Dr. Hufham Orator. (Correspondence News and Observer.) Kittrell. X. C, March 20 The March meeting I the C. C. Blackuail Chepter, Daughters of thf Confederacy, ivm held last evening: at the residence of Mrs. O. W. Blacknall. Mrs. A II red ivad selections from "My Cave Life in Vicksburg," the diary of a lady who, subsist ing; largely on mult meat and pea men!, spent weeks under the rain of mortar shell, many fall ingclose around her, and one actually fell in the cave with her, though fortun ately without bursting. Mrs O. V. Black nail gave in "My Childhood in the Con federacy," a vivid account of child life spent in 1 hi" winter of the Traus-MMsis-sijipi war. A new feature among the Xorth Caro lina Daughters was the election of hon orary members. The following Confederate Veterans were thu- honored: Dr. J. I). Ilufhain, Col. AV. II. S. I'urgwvn. Capt. W. B. Shaw. Gen. V. II. Cheek. Capt. B. M. Col lins, Capt. W. M. B. Hunter, Capt. S. A. Ash-. Dr. V. F. Turner, Col. A. M. Wad dell, Capt. A T. Cole, Capt. Frank Ben nett, Major. X. A. Gregory, Gen. J. S. Carr. The Cross t Honor, a new Confederate decoration, was conferred on the follow ing local veternns: Capt. J. H. Fuller, Messrs. Geo. H. Merritt, Geo. Divis, E. A. Fuller. I. F Coghill, M. W. Wood lief. Dr. . J.D. Hufham, "The Old Man Elo quent," was t he orator of the occasion. The great hearted Doctor cannot be other than c'.nquent. But on these occa sions there is in his eloquence a living and gratifying power that irresistibly inaketh for patriotism. Mrs. E. G. Davis, vice president of th Vance Chapter, at Henderson, and Mr. E. G. Davis, were welcome guests. The following from Elder P. D. Gold, of Wilson, is worth remember ing: A man that always, regardless i of unjust opposition or, foolish flat tery, does w hat is right, and opposes what is wrong, without expecting any reward for doingright, nordread ing any condemnation from those op posing the right, is ascending the lad der that leads to usefulness and fame.'

Under the head of "Naval Trc gramme"the committee recommend that the President be authorized to hav? built by contract two pea-eoirg coart line battleships, canying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance f r vessels of their class, upon a trial dis placement of about 13,000 ions, and to have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action, and to cost, ex clusive of armor and armament, not exceeding $3.600.COO each: three armored cruisers cf about 13.000 tons tiial dis placement, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of their class, and to have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action, and to cost, executive of arm r and armament, not exceeding $4.C50,t'el each; a..l three protected ciuisers. of about 8C00 tons trial displacement, car rying the most powerful ordnance fer vessels of their claps and to have the highest speedy compatible with good cruising qualities and great radius of action, and to cost, exclusive of arma ment, not exceeding ti. 800, 000 each. Continuing, the report says: "The maximum cost of the ships herein au thorized, exclusive of armor and arm ament, will be $26,350,000. The past year innaval construction has bcrn marked by the most liberal naval pro grammes on the part of all foreign na tions." As to armor plate, the report tells of the futile efforts to secure armor at $300 and $400, and recommends authority for the Secretary of the Navy to contract for such armor at a cost not to exceed $545 per ton, and says the so-called Krupp armor is the best obtainable. Besides the items fiven, the bill in cludes $500,000 continp ncy funds, "nec essary to meet emergencies constantly arising in view of the unsettled condi tions in our insular possessi- .is. to be expended in the discreMon or the Presi dent," and ordnance $1,70" ".00; equip ping vessels, $2,600,000; : rveya and coaling stations in insular possessions, $100,000. In the appropriations for yards and docks Port Royal is given $227,000; Key West, $97,000 Norfolk. $466,500; Pensa cola, $9500; dredging Dry Tortugai, $100,000; four dry docks, $900,000; re pairs and preservation, $500,000. Provision is made for beginning con struction of two more stone dry docks, one at New York and the other at Nr r folk, Va. At the piescnt time we ha ve no docks at either j ace large enough to take in our largest battleships with safety. The amounts in detail for the increase of the navy are: Construction and ma chinery, $12,740,699; armor and arma ment. $4,000,000; equipment, $250.CC0. The bill directs that 'r-e contracts for eaci of the new vess's be given to the lowest responsible bid 'er.iiot more t'rm two of such vessels ' be built in c-ne yard, and two to be of Pacific coast construction, subject to certain cost re strictions. Four mc-mliers of the minority of the Naval Affairs Committee, Messrs. Wheeler, of Kentucky: Hixey, of Vir ginia; Kitchen, cf North Caroli.ia, and Vand or, of Missouii, united ir a re port opposing certain item- of the Na val Appropt iation bill. Their report dwells especially upc n the failure of the majority to make rr vision for a fu ture supply of armor plate at a reason able cost, though ag-eeirg as to the ne cessity for put chash '-z 74C0 tons of ar mor for the battlesh't s Maine, Ohio and Missouri, even though at an exo; dtant price.because longer delay would injure the ships. The minority lepoit continues: ''$545 per ton for armor is exorbitant, if not outrageous. Estimating the labor at $185.50 per ton would make the net cast per ton fliO .50 per ton. and e timati g it at $165, the most acceptable figu:e, would make it ?2';0 er ton. A profit of $315. or even $205 j r ton, is certainly excessive." The minoiity say the reason of all this is the existence of a trust or agree ment between the am or plate factories of this country we are almost per suaded we could ne" the armor plate factories of the wcr!'1. There 're but two armor plnte fact:ies in the Fritcd States, and they un let stand each other so well there is no oor-j etition for or ders or as to price. The govern r;er.t is at their mercy. We see but two ways of escape either stop building armored ships or manufacture our own armor. The minority estimate the cost of constructing an armor plate factory complete at $4,000,600. It favors gov ernment ownership cf su'h plant, if only for its moral pf't. The minority point out that this bill is $13,000,000 in excess of any bill i eretofore reported and $26,000,000 in cv ess. or practically double that, of any 1 ' I ever reported in time of peace, indie, te a growing dis position to forget how money Is collect ed from the people, and a ten lency of the American Congiess to extrava gance.

Many good , laws upon the statute books fail to be of real benefit to the j community because they are not 1 brought to the knowledge of the peo i pie or properly enforced. Some rery j valuable laws regulating the insur jance business in the State were pass ed by the last Legislature, and as it was made the duty of the insurance commissioner of the State to look after their proper inforcement, I de sire to call the attention of the public to the act for the "investigation of fires," chapter 58, laws of 1899. . Under this law every fire in the State is required to be investigated, aud its cause, origin and circum stances looked into by the officers of the cities and towns, mayors, chief of fire department or fire committee of board of aldermen. A heavy penalty is fixed for a fail ure to make this investigation and a report to the insurance commissioner of all circumstances surrounding the fire. If the facts warrant it tho com missioner is required to take up the investigation and make it thorough. Even an imperfect knowledge and carrying out of this law during tho past year has resulted in much good and a saving to the people of the State of over $100,000 in annual premiums in lire risks. One part of this act can also be made of much real benefit. I refer to the part giving the authority to officers to remove anything dangerous and likely to cause fires. I refer to the following: Section 4. The insurance commis sioner, or the chief of tho fire depart ment or fire committee of the board of aldermen, shall have the right at all reasonable hours, for the purpose of examinination, to enter into and j upon all buildings and premises with- ! "J?-., IIM in meir jurisdiction, v nenever any of said officers shall find in any build ing or upon any premises combustible material or imilammable conditions dangerous to the safety of such build ing or premises they shall order the same to be removed, or remedied, and such order shall be forthwith complied with by the owner or oc cupant of said building or premises: Provided, however, that if the said owner or occupant shall deem him self aggrieved by such order he may, within twenty-four hours, appeal to the insurance commissioner, and the cause of the complaint shall be at once investigated by the direction of the latter, and unless by his authority the order of the hre chief or hre com mittee is revoked such order shall re main in force and be forthwith com plied with by said owner or occupant. The insurance commissioner, lire chief or fire committee as aforesaid shall make an immediate investiga tion as to the presence of inflam mable conditions in any building or upon any premises under their juris diction unon comnlaint of any nerson . . . . . t. having an interest in said building or premises or adjacent thereto. Any owner or occupant ot buildings or premises failinir to comply with the orders of the authorities above speci fied shall be punished by a tine of not less than ten dollars nor more than fifty dollars for each day's neglect. 1 here is no doubt but that a large number of lires in our cities and towns could be prevented if more caie were taken in requiring all buildings to be proper! y erected and all premises regularly inspected. It is strange, but a fact, that even our best citizens will neglect the proper precautions in building and caring for their houses against fires. It is a duty of every city and town government in the State to see that this law is properly enforced, and to pass suitable ordinances to this end, as has been done in Wilmington, Greensboro, W inston and other cities. The recent fires and alarms in the city of Raleigh should impress upon the board of aldermen of the city, as well as the property owners, whom they represent, the great importance of using every means for the preven tion of fires, especially such are pro vided by laws already on the statute books. When fires are starting in cellars, closets, garrets and such places, it is well to look out for defec tive Hues, trash, waste and such breeders of fires. What applies to our capitu! city, and may well serve ns a warning to them, need well apply with equal force, and in many cases with more, to every city and town in the State. If the aulhoi ities of the cities and towns of the State will look into this matter, enforce the law, and make proper ordinances along this line governing the erection of buildings and the proper inspection of all premises, they will soon notice a wonderful decrease in the number and frequency of fires, and in time get an additional decrease of rates by in surance companies.
