Supporters, of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in the U. . senate are nervous over the situation very fearful that the treaty will not be ratified. The cadets of the Alabama University recently rebelled, and now a sensational , torn is given to the situation of affairs . by the cadets preferring charges against the president. A special from Los Angeles, Cal., says . the Standard Oil company has acquired all of the interests of the Pacific Coaat 1 Oil company. The purchase price is said to be in the neighborhood of f 1,000,000. i It is reported from Manila that a de- tachment of the 5th cavalry had a fight with Filipinos. The Filipinos were chased for four miles. Fourteen of them were lonnd dead. There were no American Casualties. At Montgomery, Ala., Tuesday, John Gafford was acquitted of the charge of murdering F. B. Lloyd, i Gafford shot and killed Lloyd, the newspaper man known as "Rufus Sanders." Gafford claimed that Lloyd had improper ref lations with bis sister, It Is reported at ChriatLiuia, that an other serious landslide has occurred in Heliogoland. Thirty houses have been engulfed, and a considerable part of the Island has been for three flays under water. Thus far it has been impossible . to send relief and the losses have not yet been determined. , The German " foreign office authorizes the Associated Press to make the follow, i Ing statement regarding the Waldersee Chaffee incident, based upon a cable dis patch just received from Field Marshal ' yon Waldersee: "Gen. Chaffee wrote Field Marshal von Waldersee a letter In &i rough tone. Field Marshal ton Waldersee refused to receive it, returning the same to Gen. Chaffee. The latter , then wrote a second letter apologizing for his objectionable expressions, where- .- upon Field Marshal too Waldersee in nted Gen. Chaffee to breakfast and the Incident was amicably closed." - Lieut.-Col. C. Davis; reWtl re turned from China, says: "The united States is the only nation involved in the Chinese trouble that can hold up its y head. Our troops were the only 4 ones - who observed the rules of civilized war fare. TrooDs of other nations involved are miiltv of butchering men. women and children indiscriminately, besides looting cities, but our troops are ' not.: guilty of 'these outrages. ''We, were there to light troops, not to butcher defenceless women 1 and children, and we did so, The Amer - lean troops stopped killing when fighting stopped, but it was not so with the trooDS of other nations. I . believe - the French trooDS were" the worst. They killed for the fun of killing. The Bus .. sians killed as a matter of policy," - 'TO FIGHT THE TOB ACCO TRUST. A New, Company May be Organ- - Ized With a Big Factory In Win Winston-Salem, free. II. A "report has reached here to the effect tnac weaitny capitalists in the north and west are ar- ranrinir to onranize a strong company to compete with the tcbacco trusts for - business. ' The tsoutnern uooaeco j our cal says it has reason to suspect that the operation of a factory at Winston is con tem plated by the new company. Outside of the big Reynolds company, there re- ' main in Winston eignt tobacco lactones. These are doing well, their sales steaauy Increasing and they expect to grow and Drosner. The business in manufactured tobacco here the past month was 10,000 pounds more than tne same montn - last ? year. The quantity or manuiaciurea wj- bacco shipped from ' Winston for eleven months of this -year was 19,557,917 pounds, an increase of 2,652,814 pounds over the same months of "1899. The shipments ' the present month should easily run the total beyond 21,000,000 pounds, which would be the handsomest business ever done here. . - , - - ' Loot t your tongue. Is it coatci?

K T.i . r-rt r x - .t -. j , Coated il Vibration is the great bugbear of this business," said one of the best In formed stationary engineers In New Orleans.' '."It la governed by"" fixed laws, of course, but they are so subtle and Intricate that it is next to impossi ble to master them. They have a most important bearing, however, on the life of machinery. I have known valuable engines to Jar themselves literally to pieces for no apparent cause. Some slight error In -adjustment had set up a vibration that was communicated from part to part, like a contagious disease, until the whole plant was affected.' "A steady tremor of that kind will not only wear out the parts, but it causes what we call 'structural changes' In the metal itself. Wrought steel will gradually lose its toughness .and elasticity and become as brittle as cast iron. hen It is fractured, the In terior will have a strange, granulated appearance, and the worst of it is that the alteration may be going on for months without the knowledge of the most careful engineer alive. That Is the secret of the breaking of a great many propeller shafts at sea. . ''There are different ways of stop ping vibrations, and one of the most curious Is to set up a counter tremor in the opposite direction. One neutralizes the other." New Orleans Times-Democrat i Amonsr tbe Advantages. A pretty, highborn girl engaged her aelf to a young tradesman and never wavered in her determination to marry him despite the gloomy forecasts of her friends, who predicted lifelong misery for her. ' "My child,' do be advised," urged one of these well meaning ladles, caUlng to see the radiant bride on the very 'eve of the wedding. "I am an older worn an than you and have seen more of, the world, and it always makes me sad-to hear of a nice girl marrying beneath her station. It is social suicide." "Then from a social standpoint con sider me dead," smiled the light heart ed girl, "for. I flhall certainly marry Tom, tomorrow. We reckoned up-the 'situation long ago and found a- whole best of advantages," but not ajBolitary thing could we discover to plaoe on the disadvantage side." "Then you couldn't have searched very far, my dear," said her counselor Icily. '"Take my own case, Much as 1 love you, I 6hall be unable to visit you when yon are married, nave you bar gained for thai?" . The bride blushed. . ' " , ' v "Oh, yes,, indeed," she answered has tily.

D. Pollock, Esq., chancellor com mander of Kinston lodge, and responded to by Grand "-Vice Chancellor L. P. Mc Lond, of Asheville, and 8. C. Bragaw, of asbmgton.

It is stated that the poll books indicate a nonulution of 17.330. while the fitov- erunient ceiisu gives only 1 3.643. Tbe Raleigh chamber of commerce has decided to make the. occasion of Gov. Ayeoek's inauguration a notiibleone.and it will probably be the most memorable one since Gov. Vance was inaugurated in 1877. Monday night one of the students of the University was "held up" by Wallace , Jenkins, a negro, who forced him to give up what money he had at the point of a pistol. The boy afterwards raised a body of students and captured the robber. A special from Pittsboro, Dec 11, says: Notice of contest was served today on H. A. London by J. A. Goodwin for London's seat in the senate, and on R. H. Hayes by Jese A. Giles for Hayes" seat in tbe house. Mr. Hayes thinks Mr. Giles made a mistake and intended ' to' serve notice on E. W. Pou but failing in the latter will contest Pou's seat later. - Judge Simontonj of the U. 8. court, has denied the corporation commburion leave to change the answer to the charge that the railroads are assessed for taxes at full value while ;other property is under valued. This was not denied in the answer by the State and the railroads claim that tbe fact was admitted. Now the State wishes to amend its answer by a denial of the assertion of tbe railroads. Judge Simonton holds that the State has forfeited its right to demand such answer. , .
