Norfolk has for years been drawing heavily from the rich eastern ection of North Carolina, and has fnrfher designs upon hi state as It showa by the folowing taken from a recent iu of tie Norfolk Diapatch: "Many events -are recently trans pired in bnsne etrclee to emr&aeize Cs advisability of closer eommerual re la:!irn between this port and the state o!

It means much for them and it means much for Raleigh and the intervening towns along the route. It is a ques tion for the business people to decide. The people of the east are not Irostile to the driee of their own state, ana nu they ask is that they be placed in touch wkh them and given an oppor tunity to reach them as quickly and as cheaply as they can go to trade cen ters beyond our borders. This done and the problem will be solTed. STRIKE WILL GO ON : Mitchell Says the Coal Min ers Will Stand Firm Wllkesbarre, (Sept. 4. The conference between President Mitchell and the dis trict presidents ended this evening. They decline to say what was done or to make any comment on President Baer's statement and the report of Commis sioner "Wright. The report that Mr. Mitchell had made an offer to J. P. Mor gan of the terms the miners would ac cept in the event of a'settlement being proposed, was denied by Mr. Mitchell. As to the effect of Mr. Baer's state ment upon the strike he said: "The strike will still go on and the men will be firm." The district presidents say that the statement will make the men firmer and there will 'be no desertions from the ranks. However hopeful they of North Carolyn if the proper efforts mny be, the feeling of the strikers is one wer pat forth by her business men there can bo no querf-n. We have the facilities la all the term implies. IUUroad lines radiate from this port lu almost every direction throughout th territory. The Somliern, whoe ter minus is locat-d here, passes through a country of rick ana varied soil and includes ia its course such cities as Ralefgh, Durham, the great "tobacco xuanufactcriag center; Greensboro, one cf the mart prosperous and prog'sive l:rtle iiues berweea here and Atlanta, with W:nston-Salem, one of the great est tobacco man n fart u The Seaboard Air Line parsing throug.i the midJle of the s:ate. includ ing in its course scores of Jive and growing towns, including High Point, the hoer.e of 3$ fnmitnre.factiries, and th p!enlid city of Charlotte should te the mean of carrying on an im juen.ee trade between that territory and Ncrfclk.

The fame is true ol all the leading farmers in the eastern sec-Jon of th state. This gentleman further stated that freight rates were cheaper from Washington. N. C, to New York than from Washington to Raleigh A baTrel of good that costs 25 cents to N ew York would cost 43 to GO cents from Washington to Raleigh of deep depression and disappointment. They had great faith In Senator Quay being able to force the operators to some kind of a settlement and that he failed altogether was a shock to them Tho operators are convinced that It will mean many more applications for work in the next week or two. The fact that Governor Stone approves calling a rfiecial session of the legislature to pass a compulsory arbitration law has but little tearing on the present plans as It is recognized that even if such a bill were passed the operators would attack ring points In th.5 lit constitutionality and the fight, once 'brought to the Supreme court, would not ie soon over. V iR. G. Dunn tc Co. estimated that the dally output last week was between 13, 000 and 15,000. This week the amount will be increased by Saturday to about 20.000 tons daily. In August the D., L. &. W. company shipped S0.000 tons. The new operations started this week, the .uarrine of the D. & JI., the Bliss and the Pettitxme of the D., L. and W. are making good progress, while those which have been running are constantly increasing their output. Today the grand Jury ignored the cases of rioting and shooting firearms against the guards at the (Warn eke washery who were arrested during the rioting at Doryea, a short time ago and the same time a "true bill was found against the four men accused of the I murder of Watchman Daniel Sweeney at the Bliss mine. sic hall was damaged by fire, which broke out a 5 o clock this morning, and the Odeon. a structure adjoining music bail, was destroyed.

VILAS AS LEADER w- Wisconsin Democrats Fail to Endorse Kansas City Platform Milwaukee, Sept. 4. The Democratic state convention today refused, to en dorse the national platform of the party. Just before the adjournment W. H. togers of Madison offered a resolution calling for an endorsemen of the prin ciples of the Kansas City convention. Tere was great applause among silver members of the party, but instantly a storm broke out among those opposed to Bryan. Senator Vilas, for the first time in Democratic convention since he bolted In 1S96, led the oppoition and contended that no such action be ta ken. There was great confusion 'and dn the midst of it all the convention broke up and adjourned, - There -was another sensation during the day. John Wattawa, who was nominated after midnight last night for lieutenant governor was asked, to with draw from the ticket, which he declined to do. It seems that nfter the conven tion last night it became known that be was in trouble with the pension de partment.

Died on Sunday, August 31, in Balti more, Lucia Burnham Ives, wife of George N. Ives of this city. v Such waa the sad news which, came here Sunday evening, to those who loved the rad sufferer, who had been borne from this city pnly a few days before, in the hope that the change might tbring back the life which aeemed to be slowly but inevitatdy passing away. A sufferer for several months before death came to her relief, yet she bore uncomplainingly every physical pain, and was" in her hours of sickness as unsel fish and as thoughtful of others as she was daring the years of health, when surrounded toy her family." A sweet, amet life has passed awar. yet not without leaving its imprint, an eradieable one for good upon everything which came within her reach while on earth. The funeral services were held Tues day at the Presbyterian church shortly after the arrival of the evening train from the north, on which the remains were brought back, to New Bern, and from, the church to Cedar Grove ceme- of the physics equipment. This will be . done at once and that department made complete in every detail of equip ment. $ ANNOUNCEMENTS OF DEMOCRATIC SPEAKINGS Hon.
