OUR ENGLISH COUSINS They Show a Desire to Culti vate Friendly Relations. London, April 27. The scheme propos ed a yeur-ago for bringing Aag'.o Sax ouf -dIfferenijtiOMatrie into closer rela tionship has taken shape in the forma tion of what is known as the Atlantic Fnion. which Englishmen are told has already been inaugurated in two or three American cities--The prospectus whic h has just been issued leaves the presiden cy blank: but it is expected that the name of the Duk of Cornwall and York will be inserted. It is somewhat surpris ing to read in the circular issued by the committee of five, of which Sir--Walter Besaut is a member, to read such phases as this: '"Those to whom their own people look for leading and for guid ance." , It must be said, however, that the spirit of the movement is most hospita ble and the "aims are most laudable. The union seeks, by mutual entertainment, to make the personal and domestic life and ideas and points of view of each country kuown to. the other. The subject is set forth in this way.. '"It-has long been a matter for coucern with those who desire not only to main tain friendly relation with the. people of our colonies and the Americans, "but also to cultivate personal friendships with them, that so many visitors from the United States and the colonies come over every year, stay for a time in Lon don,, travel aoont the country and go away without having made trie acquaint ance of a single rnglish family and without having entered a single English home. Some of - them bring letters of introduction which open certain houses to them. Some are of such distinction that all doors are open to them. The greater number, however, carry no such letters and are not known on this side of the Atlantic. They stay at hotels, go to places of amusement and drive through streets and squares where every door is closed J.o them. They go away without any. knowledge of, English life except that which can be gained from the outside. The Atlantic Union will be an attempt to meet aim overcome the re proach." i Several English members of the union have already announced their desire to entertain Americans at their country houses during the coining summer. The officers have already, organized a series of visits for Americans to typical insti tutions. For example, during the pres ent' wTeek- they entertain such a party at Cambridge. Prof. Browning conducting them through the University. On Mon day the members of Parliament who are in the Union will escort a similar party through the House of Commons. On May 5th American visitors will -be chaperon ed through the literary, shrines of Fleet street by the secretary of the Union. .;; - - .' - - ". !, .'. Diamonds Will Go Higher .London. April 27.

SOME KICKING DONE New Feature in Greensboro Politics- Fun in the City 'Convention -A New Deal t for Mayor. .Greensboro, N. C, April 27. Special. Of late it has been repeatedly assert ed that party ties set very lightly- in Greensboro, but the city Democratic con vention last night demonstrated the fact that they are drawn very tight in places at least. The convention was a large and enthusiastic gathering, and it was plainly to be seen that nothing thatpvaa not labeled the simon pure article would be received in the way of Democracy. The definition of the Democratic State Executive Committee as to what consti tuted a Democrat was apparently too broad, and lefore the nominations for Aldermen in the various wards wen? con firmed the nominees were .required to stand and state to the convention wheth er or not they took their ..Democracy Straight in the last State and National elections. A resolution requiring this .was adopted with a whoop, the occasion for such,action beiug rumors to the effect that one or more of the canditdates had voted for McKinley. , AVhen the fii-st nominee arose he stated lhat while he voted for Bryan, he did so under protest and could not say how he would vote in 'the future if the party stuck to free silver. .The gentleman's Democracy was O. K'd. by the conven tion and his nomination confirmed. His" colleague stated that he voted for Brjan as the result qf a bargain made jwith a friend.- He was' also passed, as were ifll the other nominees until 4he Sixth, Ajfard was' reached. It was announced that one of the nomiueees , from this ward had voted for McKiideyaltnlmgh-- lie voted ror tne amendment, , and tue straight' Democratic ticket in August. The gentleman was not present to an swer for himself, but his case 'created the biggest stir of the evening. The chairman of the County Executive Com mittee stated that acording to the State committee's definition, the candidate was a Democrat; but others thought that any man who voted for McKinley was a Republican, and the convention so order ed. His case was referred back to his ward primary. The other nominee was accredited worthy to be a standard- bearer of Greensboro after the conven tion ascertained-that he voted straight, with the exception of a ballot for one of the- Republican nominees for the leg islature. The candidates for mayor were also re quired to give proof of their Democracy and party loyalty. The convention was relieved to find that none but Demo crats were asking for a nomination, at the hands of a Democratic coftTention. A canvass of the vote for mayor re vealing the fact that no candidate had received a majority, the matter was re ferred to the second primaries, to be held next Tuesday night. In the event ofno nomination beiifg niade at that time, the executive committee will map out a plan for future action. The convention was what might be called a rich, rare and racy affair all the way through.- While plain words were spoken, the best of feeling prevailed throughout. ' It was tin? first time that nominees in Greensboro had been re quired to publicly proclaim their party fealty after being nominated by their wards, and some seriously objected to such a course, saying. .it-was not Demo cratic. One gentleman thought that if voting for McKihley disqualified a man from being a Democratic candidate, no person who voted' for McKinley should be allowed a voice in the convention. Another wished the convention to go far ther and disqualify all who voted the cit izens' ticket last spring. II is sugges tion was not adopted.. however, probably for the reason tljat it would have de pleted the convention to a considerable extent. The chairman, in one of his rul ings, held to the doctrine of Hoke vs. Henderson, and an iconoclastic citizen wants him .impeached. Owing to the fact that the convention has other and weightier problems with which to deal just at present, it is probable that the chairman wll escape this trying ordeal. There was. a small wreck on the yard of tiie-Southern Railway here this morn ing, a freight1 car and its contents being damaged. ' . ; Mr. II.
