THE DAILY FR PUBLISHED EVERY EVENING EXCEPT SUN DRY, Vol.-INo. 162; KINSTON, N. C, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1898. Price Two Cents. EE press: With McKinley In the Cabinet Room Of the White House. I. Gen. Dodge Will Probably be Chairman Investigating Commission. McKinley Impresses Upon Members That Investi gation Must Be Thorough Without Any White Washina. Washington, Sept. 24. Eight mem bers of President MeKinley's war depart mentinvestigatiou commission assembled in the cabiuet room at the white house this morning, pursuant to invitation by the president. They were Maj. Gen. Dodge, of Iowa; Maj. Gen. M. C. Cook, of Ohio, retired; Brig. Gen. Wilson, chief en gineers T". S. army; Ex-Governor Wood bury, of Vermont; Ex-Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania; Col. Benby, of Indiana; Col. Sexton, of Jjlonios; and Capt. Evan P. Howell, of Georgia. It was expected that the ninth mem ber from Maryland would be present, but he failed to appear. Governor Beaver's appointment is a surprise as his name had not been men tioned. The members occupied the seats of the cabinet about the conference table, with the president at the head, General Dodge, who was expected to be chairman, sat at the fight of the president. There was a free and frank exchange of views respecting the work at hand, and methods for accomplishing thesame. President McKinley sought to impress upon the members that the investigation should be thorough,' and stated that if any member imagined the object of the commission was a task to exonerate any one from blame for mismanagement or incompetency, except upon the clear est and most convincing proof, he de sired to change the opinion of that mem ber. It is believed that, the idea of having nine commissioners is for the purpose of three examining each quarters, com missary and medical, and proceed simul taneously. Miss Louise Klna .found. - New York, Sept. 24. Miss Louise King", whose sudden disappearance while bath ing at Coney Island on Sept. 11th created such a stir, has been found. Last night she was married to S. Lloyd Chamberlain at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel by Rev. Dr, Nites, of Sing Sing. It has transpired that the young woman went to Phila delphia and through the efforts of the Merchants' association of which her brother is president, she was located at the Young Woman's Christian aseocia tion.

His Own Adherents Showed Their Great Disappointment. News-Observer. ' (ioldsboro, N. C, Sept. 22. Six hund red voters heard Aycock and Thompson at Hood'sSwnmp. Waynecounty, today. Four hundred and fifty of them were Democrats and the others Populists aud Republicans. I fee) perfectly sure that there was not .1 single man present who is not saying to himself, if not to the world, that Ay- cock's victory was more complete and far-reaching than has occurred in a joint debate in North Carolina in adozen years. It was not the cause for which he spoke, great and Klorious as that cause is. It was not the sympathetic crowd, strong as their sympathies were. It was sim ply the power of the man. Dr. Thompson has met his complete Waterloo and his total defeat is acknowl edged by" his friends. His perfect failure to-even upproach a successful encouuter with Aycock was acknowledged by a dozen of the strongest Populists in Wayne county. Col. W. Pat Exnrn ac knowledged the great power of Aycook's speech. The downfall of Thompson was even more pronounced than it wasatConcord. He was completely undone. He disap pointed every Populist and every Demo crat present. It may be uncharitable to say so, but it is the living truth and no man knows it tonight better than Dr. Thompson himself. Such men as Mr. E. B. Borden, Dr. Miller, Mr. Gardner and other venei able Democrats declare that Aycock's speech was one of the greatest that has ever been thundered from a stump in North Carolina and that Dr. Thompson's was one of the lamest and tamest that has been made by a man of his reputation as a stumper. f have not seen such an awakening of t he hosts of Democracy, such an advan cing of the w hite people, such enthusiasm and determination since the Vance cam paign of '76. Several Populists told me today that the Democratic ticket would win in Wayne county by a great big ma jority. Since the debate today the Dem ocrats are putting their majority at 400 to 500 ., : Chas. Aycock spoke today with more power, more eloquence and more force than I have ever heard him speak before. He was at home among his neighbors and men of every party gave him an ovation. Dr. Thompson may continue in the campaign, but he can do no harm. His arguments, his rash statements, his in sulting slanders, his adroit innuendoes, are all shot to pieces as comptetely as Cervera's fleet was . at Santiago. He -spoke today like a man fighting a hope less fight, his discomfiture was perfectly manifest, and be seemed to have but lit tle , heart in the fight and no hope for his cause. F. B.Akexdeli,. GIRLS AS YOUNG MEN'S ENEMIES. How They Puncture Holes in a Young . Man's Business Prospects. ''Girls are by far too apt to thought lessly punch holes in the business pros pects of the yonng men of their acquaint- ance," writes Edward Bok in October Ladies' Home Journal. "Thev work his mischief in various ways. They consider it 'great fun' to step to a telephone, for example, ana ring up' some young man while he is at his office, only to send him some unnecessary message or indulge in some flippant talk. They are forcetful of the fact that what may be rare sport at tneir ena ot tne Hue may cause serious embarrassment or worse to the young man at the other end. Even if theyoung man enjoys it, his employer does not. Sending unnecessary or even fancied nec essary notes to young men at their of fices during business hours is another tavonte 'pastime' of girls. Sometimes the 'fun' is carried further by meeting a young man at his luncheon hour, or by even caning at nis office. Again, even a more dangerous element is introduced bv girls urging younir men to leave their of fices before closing hours to, escort them to some place of amusement some game. or to a train. The danger in these acta is not in them. selves, but in the injurious) distractions wnich they mean. Business hours. through doubtless thev seeminexnlicn.htv long ro girls, are. in realitv. all too short ior toe accomplishment of things neces sary to a young man's success. Hence every moment when he is at business should be precious to him, and it is mightily precious to the right sort of a young man. iim mind should be focused on the problems before him. which means either his success or his failure." ipyMl(MiW( " 'v., ....

Great est Discontent Since Franco-Russian War. Cabinet Adjourned to Monday Without Making Any Announcement. French Editor Who Was Shot Is Im proving. Paris, Sept. 24. There is most wide spread discontent over the Dreyfus ques tion, which exceeds anything since the Frnnco-Itussian war. Crowds are brgin ning to march through the streets de manding revision. There is no longer any doubt that a cris:s is at hand in the history of the republic. If th" verdiet is against revision there will no longer be doubt that a crisis is at hand. The cabinet council adjourned to Mon day without making any announcement of a decision as to the reviion commis sion of the Dreyfus case. It is understood that the ministers ne not inaecord upon the question of revision. The eoiidition of Kditor Oliver, who was shot last night, is improved this morning. Woman Arrested For Murder.

The story is told of a gilded youth of Chicago whose father employed a pri vate tutor to ram algebra into the young man's head. . In order to simplify the "pins" and "mintlsl, the tutor used the familiar il lustration of the counting of years from the birth of Christ "Now, for instance, we speak of so many years A. D. or in the year of our Lord," he said. "Those years counting from tne birth of Christ we may con sider as the plus units. The years count ing back one by one before tho birth of Christ wo may take to be the minus units. Now, suppose I ask you the ques tion, How many years elapse between the date 10 B. C. and 10 A. D. ? "Let me get that straight, " said the young man. The question was repeated. He sat in deep thought for several moments and then said: "Well, now, Til tell you. I could answer that if I only knew in what year Christ was born. "-Chicago Kecord. So Kindly Considerate. "Why is it," the daring young man asked, "that your daughter still wears such short dresses?" "Oh, I keep her dressed that way, " Mrs. Ciiddibus answered, with a beauti f ul blush, " because if she had long skirts on " people would think she was my sister when they saw ns together. have no wish to conceal the fact that i have a daughter who is as tall as J am.

White, the negro congress man, mr.kes the positive announcement that all Populists are in honor bound to vote for him. In this connect ion t here is the following interesting editorial state ment in Rev. Righteous Altogether Cobb's so called Populist paper, tie- Home Rule, this week: '"As soon as the two executive committees agree upon h man to support in the second and third congren-ioiial districts, we will hoist their names nnd work for them."

"By breaking them, " was the prompt reply of the Irish leader, who, as is well known, spoke from experience on the point. But few members would care to adopt that heroio method of obtaining the desired knowledge, and their task in mastering the rules is rendered all the more difficult by the curious fact that many of these regulations are un written. Some will be found ill the standing orders, or permanent rules; but those that deal with etiquette and decorum have not been officially recorded any tvhere, save in a few quaint and obso lete regulations to be found in the old issues of the journals of the house or in the minutes of proceedings taken by the clerk and published daily during the session. For instance, a strange rule for the guidanoe of the speaker is set down nu der the i5th of February, 1C20, "The speaker not to move his hat until the third congee." Propriety of carriage in leaving the chamber is thus enforced, "Thoso who go out of the house in a confused manner before the speaker to forfeit 10 shillings.'" This rule is dated the 12th of November, 1640. Again we find that on the 2Sd of March, 1693, It was ordered, "No member to take tobacco into the gallery or to the table sitting at committees.
