reached.
Mr. McLean, of Harnett, paid an elo
quent tribute to the memory of Mr.
Wall also. His was a peculiarly line
f man. He was faithful 'in all
tne relations of life, and ever and al
ways true to his beloved State. As a
l oniederate . soldier, none stood nearer
the tlagstaff and none marched more
bravely and intrepidly, at the call of his
country, to where duty led. He now;
goes down to his grave like one "who1
wraps the drapery "of his couch around
him and lays down to pleasant dreams!'';
Mr. Winston, in speaking to the Trot
man resolution, hi id that the height of
the politic 1 ambition of J. M. Trotman
had been reached when he was elected
to represent his county in Legisla
ture, a hope he had fondly cherislied.
He was a faithful representative. He
was a strong man not so strong in
books, but in those attributes that come
to the man whoj lived as he did in the,-!
rural districts beside the brook, and on
the farm; strong in his honesty and in-i
ti'grity. As a soldier, I am told by his
comrades that no braver man ever bared
his breast to the bullets of the enemy
lie was brave in speech, as his col
leagues in this House soon came t
recognize; brave in his thoughts, and
they were pure I thoughts and he never
feared to give them utterance. He died
i as he preferred to die, in harness.
and in his life those who come after
hum will find j an inspiration and a
worthy example. North Carolina was

By JOHN ROYLE
Washington, June 14. Special. The
Postmaster General has issued an order
making Raleigh a lirst-class postotlice
July 1 next. This is done because her
postal receipts have increased and is
substantial evidence of her commercial
progress. Other offices advanced from
the second to the first class are Char
lotte and Winston-Salem. At each of
these offices th epost master will receive
.$:. KKl or over. This makes with Wil
mington four first-class ofiices in the
State. The -advances or increases are:
Asheville. $2,700 to $2,800; Concord.
$1,700 to $1,800; Gastonia, Sl.oOO to

Goveiprir of North Carolina to the Gov

will be pultfished.
Superintendent II. R. Hunter, of Meck

ford condemned partisan and sectarian
bias in thj? administration of public
school affafrs.
Prof. Mi L. White, better known as
"Com Cracker," ise unite an humorist,
lie had the assembly roaring with
laughter, yet amid his sparkling wit and
humor were ponderous truths brought
out in regard to public school affairs.
Paul J. Iong made a strong plea for
the township system of 1S07. being en
dorsed by many superintendents of other
counties.
Superintendent .ilkinson informed the
assembly that Edgecombe had all the
money needed for public schools. State
Superintendent Mebaue was delighted
to hear of one spot in North Carolina
that had all the money needed for edu
cation.
W. H. Ragsdale gave a good, practical
talk as to the purpose of the county in

Mr. Gilliam eulogized the life and char-j
acter of the late Spencer Lee Hart, giv-
ing an outline of his private and pub'ic
life and services, and in closing ev-j
pressed the belief that the bad ventila
tion of the hall and the House was
largely responsible for his untimely
death. Mr. Hart was
during the last Isession

covered and returned to
the following December
Edgecombe county. I

Appreciating the necessity of a mili-l
tary organization for our section of the
State he joined the State Guard
The 2Uth of June, 1S.SS. he was com
missioned by Governor Scales captain
of the Itocky Mount Light Infantryj
June 22nd. 1804, Governor Carr com
missioned Mr. Hart aide-de-camp brig
ade of staff and December 22nd Major
and briirade commissary First Brigade
North Carolina State Guards. At the
time of his death he was Assistant In
spector (ieneral.
This body paid Mr. Hart the compli
ment to elect him a member of the State
Board of Agriculture, and he was select
ed as a memberj of the committee to su
pervise the erection to Senator Vance
the monument that will adorn the capitol
square and proclaim the gratitude we
bear this best beloved son of North Carf
olina. '
In 1800 Mr. Hart was nominated for
the House, but the entire ticket was de
feated. Three nejjroes were elected
from my county, the seat of culture and
wealth, to represent, or rather to mis
renresent my people. A day of reckon
ing was, however, not far distant t fot
on the 14th or October, jn'.ns, there as
sembled at Tarboro a great multitude of
white men who plighted' one another
their sacred honor that never again
should negroes rnle or misrepresent them
noon this floor. I This great mass conven
Hon unanimously re-nominated- Mr. Hart
for the House, to which he was elected
by the handsome majority of 2,o00
The Speaker, i with his usual discern
ment, knowing Mr. Hart's military ex
perience, appointed him chairman of the
committee on Military affairs, and to
him is largely due the present Military
Bill. Mr. Hart! was also a member of
the Committee on Asylums, Agriculture
Counties. Cities! and -1 owns, and Insti
tutes for the Deaf. Dumb and Blind, j
When the General Assembly met on
the 4th of-January, 1800, there was no
man in -either branch so well and so
strong as he, yet he was taken on Thursr
day, February 2nd with pneumonia from
which Ke never recovered, and of which
he died. My own opinion is, my friends,

Mr. Hart, though not well, was again
in the House Tuesday, February the
28th. Notwithstanding his sickness for
four weeks of-our session, he was a use-j
ful member of this body. But it gives
me greater pleasure to speak of him as
a man, a husband, a father, a neighbor
and a friend. - j

F1GI1T FOR SECOND PMCE
Chinese Imperial Troops Will Oppose
International Forres Entering Pekin
London, June 15. The rumor from
Shai'ghai that Chinese regular troops
were preparing to opjHise the entry of
the international fgrce into Pekin re-
eeivetl little credence, owing to the place
of its origin, but it has been confirmed
by a correspondent who is with Admiral
Seymour, commander of the foreign
forces at Lang Fan jr. He says that
a courier arrived at that place Wed
nesday, bringing a letter from United
States .Minister Conger, who stated that
(ieneral Tung Fu Sea tig -intends to op
pose the entry of the international
force and is guarding the southern gate
with 10.000 troops. This seems to in
dicate that the imperial troops have
joined the Boxers openly. It is not
surprising, therefore, that uneasiness is
reported in Tien-Tsin regarding the ade
quacy of Seymour's force.
Those Shanghai correspondents pro
fess that Admiral Seymour will not now
advance beyond Lang l ang pending the
arrival of reinforcements, lhe cutting
of the line in Seymour s rear gives
probability to the Shanghai report that
the force is experiencing great difficulty
in regard to provisions and water, but
there is no direct news to that effect
from Lang I' ang.
Meanwhile rumors continue of the
dangerous iosition of foreigners in Pe
kin. none daring to leave the legations.
which are threatened .with mob vio
lence. The Dowager Empress, however.
is reported again from Shanghai to le
thoroughly alarmed by the murder of
Sugivama. the chancellor of the Japanese
legation, and has iicrsonally appealed to
the rioters at the lung ling gate to
disperse, though she has Jaken no meas
ures to compel them to do so.
Another Shanghai rumor is to the
effect that l.rtH) Russian troops, with
four guns, have arrived outside Pekin,
after an arduous march north of the
railroad.

CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENTS
Overstreet Considers Collecting Then
a Very Commendable Occupation.
Washington, June 14. Considerabla
comment has been caused here over the
fact that the Republican congressional
committee, through F.. F. Schrader, has
asked the capitol employes to devid
the extra month's salary Congrosjs voted
them $80,000 with lhe committee. Mr.
Schraders position is unique. Besid-n
his connection with the Republican com
mittee, he acts as correspondent for 'ir.
Bryan's western organ, th-- Omaha,
World-Herald, and the Richmond Times,
both Democratic papers. Representative
Overstreet, of Indiana, comes to Mr,
Schrader's defense.
He says:
"Mr. Schrader has been connected
with this Committee through two cam
paigns and has the full confidence an!
respect of the committee. If he has
been acting for any of the IIou-e officers
or employes toward collecting contribu
tions to aid in electing a Republican
Congress he has been engaged in a
worthy and commendable cause.
"I am frank to say tnat if the cm-T-yes
of Congress are contributing to a
campaign', fund, they an doing a very
creditable act. Furthermore, if any su?h
employe, who is not under the civil scr
vice, and who is totally dependent fur
his position upon the favor of his repre
sentative, should refuse to contribute to
the campaign expenses of the man who
gave him office, I should say he a q
very ungrateful fellow and an undesira
ble constituent." . -

so-ns purely private. M r. Bliss, it is
.4a id, does not want the nomination. The
national leaders, including lianna, have
agreed to, respect his wishes and will not
press him to accept.
Senator Allison is the second choice
of many influential leaders of the party,
but it is said that he does not want the
nomination, but prefers to remain in the
Senate. Senator Hanna told his callers
that he considered both Mr. Bliss and
Senator Allison as out of the race for
Vice President unless the convention
should attempt to force the nomination
upon one or the other. At none of the
conferences today was the manie of Gov
ernor Roosevelt suggested.
It is now an open fight for the nomi
nation for second place on the ticket so
far as the party leaders are concerned,
and none of them is disposed to inter

combination on an unfit man. The New
