This special committee will consider all bills and resolutions relating to trusts. The- Bottle at Ship tataaehes. , Down to Charles II's time it was cus tomary to name and baptize a ship aft er she was launched, sometimes a week or two after,; The old Tudor method used for men-of-war; was still In use. PepysV "Diary", shows that. The" ship was safely got afloat after which some high personage went on board with o special silver "standing cup." or "flag gon" of wine, out of which he drank, naming the ship and pouring a libation on the quarter deck. The cup was then generaUy given to the dockyard Bhlp wrlght as a memento. ; - . When did the present usage of nam ing and baptizing a shfp before she Is sent.afloat come In? 1 trace the last explicit mention of the old method to 16G4, when the Royal ; Katherfne was launched (see Pepys).

Cape Town', March 17.The departure of the transports witivtne uoct orison era for St. Helena has been delayed on account of the .fact, that seventy , Boers have been sick, including many infectious cases. The authorities are striving to complete the isolated hopital by Wed nesday and the transports trill probably sail that day. .Tnsvaafers Only To GO. London. March 17, A dispatch from Cape Town, dated today; says it has been decided to send only the Trans vaalera to . St. Helena, the authorities fipding it difficult to prevent conflicts between the Free States and the Trans- vaalera.

Boers' Numbers Exaggerated. London, March 17. The Daily Mail publishes an interview this morningwith Mr. Cecil Bhodes. in which Mr. Ehodes declared that there had only been thirty thousand Boers in the field altogether, and -that the mercenaries were only about 15,000. The number of Boers, be said, bad ' been exaggerated in order to explain the British reverses. Soon to Advance on Pretoria. London; March 17. With the railway communication to the Uape intact, Lord Boberts will in a few days be in a posi tion to begin the ad vance , on Pretoria. His deen political ? intuition combined with his bold strategy, is having the re sult desired in the southern' sections of the Orange 1 ree State, whicb are rapidly calming down. ', ; ' . , Mafekinjr is now the -only point for anxiety and as it is known that a force has left Kimberley, its relief maybe an nounced before many days pass. 3 rhelatest advices respecting the sur render of Bloemfontein . show that the approach of the British caused a stam pede. Thirteen trains, each composed of orty cars, and all crammed with Boers, hurried northward just before the line was cut. Mr. Stey n would have been compelled to surrender; but he pretended that he vtas going to visit one of the outposts, and at midnight took a car riage which was waiting for him outside the town and thus -escaped. The Boers got the bulk of their wagons and military stores away. Kruger Annexes Free State (7 Bethulie, Orange Free State, March 15.

' ..Raleigh, N. aMarch 19, 1000. A Bepublican of prominence from the eastern part of the State, said today that he violently opposed his party's ' having any organization in tne east for tne Au gust election, and assigned as a reason that to organize would only make the whites more determined to carry the elec tion. This wm a delicate way of ex pressing his belief that the Democrats would certainly win. , ; ; v ; ..The fact is that the Kepubucans so far have no plans and no candidates. It is always their custom "to select their men beforehand, make up a slate in fact, but this year they are at sea, and : offices appear to go begging. : They know Dem ocratic nominations are equivalent ' to elections. Not a Bepublican can be found who has any idea who will be his party's nominee for; governor. Out of dozens asked, not one has answered with any degree of positiveness. Some say in ' vagus way. Bichmond , Pearson, while others say he doesn't want the nomina tion but does went to go to congress from the Mnth district. . Complete as was Bepublican Chairman Bolton's downfall and collapse two years ago, Bepublicana are saying he will be re-elected chairman. ' Bpeamngs are in progress in many counties and wildly scattered. The amendment is the sole topic. The plan to make all else subordinate to it is being carried out by the Democrats. The Ke- publicans are putting some speakers in the field, but they do most of their work by bushwhacking, taking single voters or very small groups. It will be a costly campaign for them, but of , course their national committee will help them, as it did in 1896, when it gavef 60,000 for North Carolina. In a few cases Populists are speaking, but a very few. Senator Butler is practically the only Populist to mate any sign, barring the nine mem bera of the State committee whamet here in January and fulminated against the amendment. - Some of the Populists, who in 1896 and 1898 were prominent in politics, will this year retire. Ktate Auditor Ayer, ex chairman, is one. The Populists who are trying to drive their people against the amendment . have discovered that they cannot carry out their plans. Enough hints have been dropped to show them what the convention will do that is, leave the amendment to the individual view of the Populists.' . ' i If one asES people from the country in central and eastern North 'Carolina the question, "What do you hear the white Republicans saying on the question of the amendment?" the reply is, "They are divided; some for and some against it." A politician would declare they were all against it. . Tne attitude of the negro on this ques tion is interesting. It is passive. He sees what is sure to happen. Jim Young says the negroes care nothing about reg istering or voting, feel little or no inter est in the election,and want the white people to settle the franchise matter, the negroes merely winning to be ' let alone. The white Republicans want the neeroes to keep out of conventions, keep in the background in fact, but .to register. Young, speaking for, the negroes, says there will be few. if any, in the conven tions. The question is whether this is of their own motion, or whether it is not a oiiowing of the wishes of the white ' lie- publicans. A PALMER-BTJCKNER SCHEME. Ex-Governor Stone Thinks - Gold f Democrats Planning to Control The Convention. St. Louis, ! Mo., March 16. Ex-Gov. William J. Stone, Democratic national committeeman from Missouri, said today he believed there was some truth in the statement that there is a - movement among eastern Democrats to elect Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, chairman of .the na tional committee and eliminate silver rom the platform. Gov. Stone said: . "Some sort of a scheme is on foot, - al though I am not able yet to say exactly what it is. f rom iniormation tn at came to me at Washington and since, I gather that the f end which the Falmer and Bucker Democrats are trying to attain is the capture of the organization ; of the party. Their scheme seems to be to get into the convention as delegates ana with a little noise as ; possible, but by means of adroit manipulation, control ns many delegations as possible with the ultimate object of controlling the con vention and capturing the national com mittee. They will be for Bryan tut they want the organization." ' STATE 1IE?S;. Interesting Ndrth Carolina it&xbj In Condensed Form.
