That is the reason fur si; h activity among leading Demo ir.its for the nomination this year. Two delegations from North Carlina rf;ichel lure this morning and were in vM.'iire about the capitol all day. They w.iv: From Greensboro A. M. Scales, A K. Hrooks. .1. W. Fry, R. D Douglas mil .1. W.

Mr. IJrooks was the spokesman of the i!eiisljro delegation, ind he addressed commit tee at some length. He ex- Jessed the fear that if the bill passed if would eventually have the effect of d!'"ppi:i- out Greensboro from the West district and circuit, and result in 'itutiii- Winston. He pointed out the advantages of Greensboro and show 1 ho w. if Greensboro was dropped out, the people of that section would be de-Kiv.-d ,,f cunt facilities which they enjoyed for many years. -Ul members of the Winston delega-t'-n-Mosi-s. Glenn, Buxton and Hol u spoke for Winston, alleging that the l'ussaire of the bill would not mean that 'l-" Federal Court would not in the f i'ure be held at Greensboro. ''"lisn-essinen Kitchin and Linney also SI k-. die former for Greensboro and ll" latter for Winston. Mi"- Finney said his bill did not con- l,-wplate withdrawing the Federal Court f: m Greensboro, but simply adding Win (,n to the circuit. After the hearing, -AI Finney said he felt sure his bill ould Income a law. Messrs. Scales and Douglas, of the 'rfeuboiu delegation, also appeared be 'le the House Committee on Public buildings and Grounds, and advocated a additional appropriation of $50,000 to enlarge the Greensboro public build in.

'T" LEFT TO ITS FATE Mafeking Further Off from Relief Than Ever. PLUMER ON SIDE TRACK Ills Expedition Retires to Crocodile Pools General French Continues Ac tive movements In Orange Free State Rldlcnlons Statement Attributed to Kraser Reports of Submission of Frse State Roers Taken with Caution London. March 23. Colonel Plnmer apparently has retired to Crocodile Iols, and Mafeking seems further off than ever from relief. This news was collected in a dispatch from Buluwayo, dated Monday, March 19, and published in the second edition of the .Times. These advices add that the base hos pital has. been brought back to Gabe- rones, though the correspondent further says it is thought the object of the Boer demonstration of March 15 and March 1 was to cover the removal of the siege guns from Mafeking. General French's activity in the Orange Free State may be preliminary to a forward movement with Lord Rob erts with .the main army. A dispatch from Bloemfontein, dated Thursday, March 22, says that Presi dent Kruger is reported to have pub- jhhed a proclamation declaring that ! Great Britain is in dire straits and that. the Russians have occupied London. A Springfontein telegram, published in the second edition of the Times, says: "The apparent submissive attitude, of the Free Staters should be . accepted with caution. The large proportion -of obsolete, inferior weapons being turned in by them to the British is giving the impression that large stores of modern Mausers are being concealed." The Outlook's .special correspondent at Cape Town says: "Feeling is running strong against the leniency with which the rebels of Cape- Colony and N.atnl are being treated the British authorities.'' . , .

George Wyndham, parried all the questions. He said he knew nothing con firming the suggestion that General Wauchope had raised objection to Lord Methuen's plan of battle, and added that no investigation had been proposed into the alleged differences between Cecil Rhodes and Colonel Kekewich.

SPEAKER SEES A QUORUM Tillman Takes the Floor in the Senate ; 1 Opposition to the Porto Rican ; Tariff. Rilliie Favor Free Trade All Islands Over Which the American Flag Floats Other Sena tors Join In the Debate. Washington, March 23. This , was pen sion day in the Ilouse. . Upon motion to go into committee of the whole to con sider -pension legislation, only 157 mem bers Voted, : and Mr. Talbert of South Carolina made the point of no quorum. The speaker counted 193 present, and the House proceeded with pension bills. Over a hundred bills were passed with not thirty members present, when Mr. Talbert. again .made the point of no quo rrm.r It took two hours to get a quo rum, and then bills were passed as quick as the clerk could read them. After two hundred or more were passed, even then ,no qucrum being present, and appropriating- several hundreds of thou sands of dollars, the Ilouse at D:30 ad journed. Debate in the Senate. Washington, March 23. WLSft fKe Senate convened today it agreed to the conference asked for by the House on the Diplomatic and Consular bill. Mr. Pettigrew's resolution coming over from yesterday, requesting that the President, if not incompatible with the public in terest, send to the Senate an itemized statement of-the expenses of the Philip pines commission, together with the amounts paid each commissioner, was agreed to. .-The conference report on the Porto Rico appropriation bill was then taken up by Mr. Allen. . Mr. Tillman of South Carolina, who voted for the bill as it passed the Senate, and as a member of the Committee on Appropriations, voted favorably to report it, vigorously opposed the conference re port, r He- expressed his regret that the Senate conferees had yielded to the con tention of the Ilouse CQnferees,-particu-larly in agreeing to enlarge the purpose of the measure by providing "for the aid and relief of the people'' of Porto Rico. There were' two motives behind this bill, he said. The first was the neces sity for the immediate relief by the United States of Porto Ricans, and the other was that the Republicans were un easy about the result of erecting a tariff wall: against Porto Rico, which, he said, had tb be glossed over somewhat for the benefit of the people. He sharply criticised the method adopted, by the United States of extending handfuls of food to the people of Porto Rico as a gratuity. "As long as you continue to feed those people down there," declared Mr. Till man, "you may feed them. So long as the Freedmen's Bureau was maintained in the South the colored race there amounted to nothing. That's a charac teristic of the race. So long as you give food to those Porto Ricans they will never do a stroke of work. This government will set itself up as an cle mosenary institution by the passage of this bill, and I do not believe we should stand on any such ground." In response to an inquiry from Mr. Spooner, Mr. Tillman said: "I am in favor of free trade with Porto Rico. I do not believe in protecting one part of the United States against an other. That is my position." Mr. Tillman alluded to the proposition how made to obtain a uniform, labor day and remarked incidentally that such a proposition, if adopted, would militate against the interests of his State. Mr. Gallinger inquired how uniform hours of labor would militate against the people of South Carolina. Mr. Tillman replied that it was be cause of the difference in climate. The South, he said, had advantages in cli mate over the INortn wnicn uod naci given it. 'I am simply opposed," said he, "to one part of the country robbing another, and this applies as well to Torto Rico as to the South." Mr. Perkins of California asked if Mr. Tillman was in favor of free trade with the Philippines, knowing that those islands had the advantage of peon and Malay labor. Mr. Tillman "If we are to continue to hold the Philippines, I am in favor -f free trade with those islands. There is an old legal axiom that a man cannot take advantage of his own wrong. Those who voted to bring into this coun try those islands, with their cheap con tract, peon and Malay labor; were told of the results that would follow the ratification of the treaty. And you could not get the vote necessary to make that treaty until you had bought some men to vote for it. Now, then, if it is pro posed to send a horde of carpetbaggers over there, backed by the bayonets of soldiers, so long as I have a voice I shall protest." Referring to the recent speech of Mr. Beveridge, Mr. Tillman declared that rthe speech had .been translated into the Spanish language ana distributed among the Filipinos. It had, he said, infused new life and energy into the revolution, because it indicated the hypocrisy and double dealing to which he said the United States had rrsorted in the PENSIO treatment of the Filipinos. He was sorry, he said, for his Republican friends, and would feel for them even the more deeply after the people had had an op portunity to pass upon the action of Congress next November. j "The people," he shouted, "will teach you that trade and the flag and liberty and the constitution go together." Looking over at Mr. Allison, Mr, Till man laughingly alluded to the resolu tion adopted by the legislature of Iowa, "warning their representatives in Con gress," he said, "of the consequences of their action on the .pending bill. It never rains, but it pours. The whole political structure is tumbling about their ears." Further along, Mr. Tillman said he had asked before, and would like to know now, whether the President was in favor of free trade with Porto Rico. The debate in the Senate continued during the afternoon on the Porto Rico bill. Senators Spooner, Gallinger and Tollman participated in the debate. The discussion took "a wide range, covering the Southern race question, Hawaii and the Philippines.. Mr. Spooner took Mr. Tillman to task for the use of certain words and ex pressions which' made the colloquy in teresting. Mr. .Spooner replied to Mr. Tillman. At 4:40 the Senate adjourned.

His Last Crime the Worst In His Ca reerTroops Arrive-In Time to Protect HI ni from a Mob. Richmond, Ta., March 23. The town of Emporia, in Greenville county, forty miles south of Richmond, is seething with excitement this morning over the capture of Walter Cotton, the negro des perado who yesterday shot and killed J. W. Saunders and Joseph Welton, prominent citizens and officers of the county. The negro was placed in jail and a mob of five hundred men surround ed the jail, demanding that he be given up to their vengeance. The mob is be ing rapidly enlarged by new arrivals. The officers are making a stubborn re sistance, hoping to keep the mob at bay until help can be secured. A telegram was sent to Governor Tyler by the sheriff of the county early this morning, asking for troops. The gov ernor has ordered two companies of the Richmond Blues to the scene..; A special train is about to star with them for a fast run to Emporia, but little hope is felt, however, that they will arrive in time. Governor Tyler will go Avith the troops, and has wired an encouraging message to the sheriff and a warning to the people to obey the law. Cotton was under sentence to. be hanged at Ports mouth for murder and escaped several weeks ago. Wednesday night he held up a prominent citizen of Emporia in his chamber and forced him to give up his watch, his pistol, his wife's jewelry and $150 in monej-, and to prevent his ar rest fired his pistol indiscriminately down the main street of the town. Many other burglaries ha'd occurred, and the county turned out yesterday to hunt the burglars. When Saunders and Weljon approached a vacant house where Cotton and a-white tramp were concealed. Cot ton killed them both, but not until he was shot through the hand. This wound led to his identification last night ten miles from the' scene of the murder, and though large posses were hunting for him in every direction, the officers suc ceeded in getting him to the jail in Em poria. Urgent messages are following each other rapidly for troops, but much valuable time -has been lost in getting the men together. The white man -who was with Cotton is also in jail, and it is feared they Will both be wrested from the officers and lynched before the gov ernor and the two companies of troops can reach the scenes Soldiers Guard the Jail. Petersburg. Va., March 23. Walter Cotton, who is suspected or being tne. same negro who escaped from the jail at Norfolk some time ago while under sentence of death for murder, was ar-la rested this morning near Jarrats Sta- tion, in Sussex county, on suspicion of being the negro who, with a white man. sliot and killed Officers Saunders aud Walton -near Emnoria yesterday. Therl evidence against the accused is very strong.; Cotton -was taken to, Emporia and placed in jail, threats having been made of lynching the suspected murder . - Governor: Tyler, with the Rich- ers (Continued on Fifth Page.)

A squad of seventy-five extra police officers and deputy " sheriffs guarded the outer entrance to the courthouse this morning, while a file ' of soldiers stood at the doors and passed on the credentials of the persons enter ing the room when the hearing of the men charged with complicity in the mur der of Governor Goebel was called. The general public was excluded by an order of Judge Moore, only attorneys, relatives of the accused, witnesses and officers of the court being admitted. Those admit ted, however, soon filled the courthouse on the second floor of the building? The Lexington and Winchester companies, armed with Winchesters, were stationed ;thronkh various rooms Not much' more ' than the ordinary crowds were in the streets, and there was no excitement. Col. T. C. Campbell and Arthur Goebel appeared -at. the courthouse at 1):30 o'clock. A few minutes later ex-Governor John Young Brown, with R. Ram sey, R. C. Kinkead and J. C.

He did not answer, and an attachment for him was issued by the court. Witnesses in the room were ordered to retire and were admon ished not to talk to anybody. Mr. Lillard, warden of the Frankfort penitentiary, was the first witness sworn. He testified that he was with Senarof Goebel wJien the latter was shot. IIo walked ahead of Senator Goebel, and was just entering the State house-when the shot was fired. He turned back from the State house steps and saw what had happened. He looked toward the exec utive building and saw that the second window of the corner room was slightly raised. That was the office of the Sec retary of State. He thought the shot had been fired from this room. Theru were several other shots, but, he said, they did not come from the same place.- The first shot was evidently from a rifle, while the others'seemed to be from pis tols. - On cross-examination, Colonel Lillard said he saw nobody in the roonr from . which the shot seemed to have been, fired, and-he did not see any one in th main; door or on the steps of the build ing at the time of the shooting. Policeman Wingate Thompson ;testified that as the cfowd was carrying Senator Goebel out of the yard he saw armed men at the entrance of the executive building and recognized John Davis and Berry -Howard among them.
