Butler Is "In With" McKinley and Ex pects a Judicial Appointment, Knowing Hie Day in North Caro lina la Drawing to a Close. Washington, May 30. And, now,, ac cording to the story of the day. Senator Marion Butler Is in high favor w,th the atmlniafrafinn frVa Avan tiaiA Iia avtiiIab with Pleasure at Mark Hanna. the offi cial dispenser of patronage for . the white house. Indeed, it is whispered that the senior senator from the Tar Heel State is to be taken care of before the end of bis term, March 4, 1901. Why, it is an open secret that Butler and Pritchard are now hand and glove on all matters. In the language of the day, they have kissed and made up.,"' "A vi:-Y',v-.;t Said a prominent North ' Carolinian, who keeps posted On 'inside, matters: "It's a little strange that you news paper fellows here at the capital haven't caught on to the facp tnat Butler nas made his peace with the administration and Pritchard. Why, the senior senator now danees m attendance at the white house. ; It was only the other day ., that Butleewas in close consultation with the president. Just think of itl It must be that Mark Hanna has thrown a spell on the chairman of the national execu tive committee . of the People's party. Perhaps the true secret of it is that , But ler has his eye on one of the judgeships in Porto Eico, and the president, you know, will, in the very near future, make a number of such appointments. Butler, it should not be forgotten, . is a member of the senate committee that is charged with the responsibility of investigating the Cuban postal frauds, and the mw implicated id the Cuban postal scandals are more or less identified with the : ad ministration. ; Of course investigation will be non-partisan, and no guilty ras cal will be allowed to escape. But that is neither here nor there. Now Butler knows very' well that the. amendment will be carried by a pronounced majority, and with the adoption of the amendment he will be shorn of all his political power in the State. This, in a measure, explains his change of front on the negro ques tion. V He has tied his political fortunes to Pritchard's. kite. 'And knowing full well that his days are numbered, he nas cast anchor. to windward with the hope that he will land in some soft spot that yet remains in the gift of . the president. Butler has fooled the people of North Carolina for a long time. He knows there are not more than 5,000 Populists now in the State. Why? Because tht great majority of them have returned to the Democratic party. It is the knowl edge of this fact that causes Butler, like a drowning man, to clutch at a straw. Lincoln was right when he said 'you can fool some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time,' and Butler now : realizes that great truth. He can no longer fool the people of North Carolina." His fusion with the Republi cans won't go, and no one knows it bet terthan Butler." . n : ; ;,",..' -vt -' -' ''::':.

"Even il the whole country is taken and the leaders impris oned, the war will cease only lor a time, and it will be renewed again and again, if need be, until we get our liberty," was the dramatic utterance of M. A. Fischer, one of the Boer envoys, when shown the bulletin from London announcing ' the impending surrender of Pretoria by the Boers.'' 1 'A-:-'-' Mr. Fischer declared that at the time of his departure from Pretoria, three months ago, there ' were two plans of action which had been determined upon in the event of the approach of the British to Pretoria. 'One was to concentrate all the Boer forces inside the city and leave the rest of the country open to the Brit ish until the Jail of the city. The other was to evacuate Pretoria, after a slight show of resistance, to enable -supplies to be collected, and then the army , was to scatter to the mountains and enter upon a guerilla warfare, which would continue till the last man was Killed, y -; " : The Worst Bandits.
