That which most interested the editors was a visit to the capitol, where they came in contact at close range with the men prominent inthe public life of the nation. The brief session of the two legislative bodies today af forded them nothing more than a kaleidoscopic impression, , but their time 'was crowded to the limit and they were more than satisfied. Interest centered largely in the intro duction to Speaker Cannon, a native Tar Heel, and William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper proprietor, who is prominent now as a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomina tion. The members of the association were presented in a body to these dis tinguished gentlemen. Their reception was most cordial and it is" no secret io say that the visitors were highly pleased. The presentation to "Uncle Joe," as the speaker is affectionately called by hU friends, took place in his commit ted room immediately after the House adjourned. Representative Kluttz pre sented President Varner of the associa tion, who in turn .introduced each member of the party. The speaker, in his unconventional and breezy west ern style, had a pleasant and appro priate word for all. When Andrew Joyner was introduced as a representa tive from Guilford, Mr. Cannon, asked If he lived in Greensboro. To J. eJ. Farriss of High Point he quickly said, "You are from Guilford also." He tasked both gentlemen to stand asicle and afterwards' talked to them about the place of his birth, recalling some fof the well known and old family 'names of Guilford. Speaker. Cannon 'made a happy and graceful talk in formally to the editors. He expressed his regret at being unable to attend the reunion at Greensboro, and der Clared that he hoped soon to visit Korth ; Carolina. Rush of business, he 'declared, had interfered with his de termination to return to his native .4 state. J Thorp wpro spvpral Trnmorous inci dents connected with the visit to the speaker's room. One of the quill drivers told Mr. Cannon, with some feeling, that North Carolina was very proud of him and regretted his de parture from the state. "Well," said Uncle Joe, "I reckon if I had never left I wouldn't be here today.-" Editor Poe of the Progressive IFarmer reminded Mr. Cannon that he 3s the first Tar Heel elected speaker Isince Nathanial Macon. ?'Yes." replied Uhe speaker, "but there have been jnany fully competent.". J Prior to the assemblage of the House the members of , the party were taken pn the floor and each in turn occupied the speaker's chair. President Varner eft on the desk a medallion of the Jreensboro ; reunion, and when Mr. annon took his position to call the louse to order his attention was at tracted to the badge. Adjusting his klasses, he read the lettered Inscription and then pinned the attractive orna jment on the lapel of his coat, wearing fthat patriotic emblem, he called the House to ordeiC' When presented with a North Carolina flag afterward he manifested much interest, being parti cularly attracted by the date. May 20th and April 12th, 1776. The introduction to Mr. Hearst fol lowed in th9 lobby of the House, where members only are admitted. Mr. Hearst was most cordial and made a -ery happy impression. The introduc tions were made by President Varner, who was nTcsantpfl to the New Yorker hvhts SM.rot!irv. Mr-. 0'T?1v. Mr. Var. ! ner took ocoaion to say to Mr. Hearst ; that he had many admirers among the editorial fraternity and also ajnong the people of North Carohna. "We like you because you do things," Mr. Var- tier said, "and : we greatly admire you for your loyal support of the ticket in the last two campaigns." Many of the members had very com plimentary things to say to Mr. Hearst. His response was that he hoped to see . good ticket named by the party and that he did not consider himself. 7 He declared that first of all he desired to see the party win in the next cam paign.

When the ladies of the party return- them handsome American beauty roses, iiwet iiicj XULUILL awaiting Fresei&ted m Joe :&nd Editor Hera the gift of Mr. Hearst. There were some forty ladies in the party and each received a half dozen roses. The introduction to Mr. Hearst was one of - the most pleasant features of the day, and when the association met later in the afternoon the following resolution was adopted: , "Appreciating the pleasure It gives us, both individually and as an asso ciation, to : meet Hon. William R. Hearst, editor and proprietor of .tin New Tork American and Journal and he having shown his gallantry to the womanhood of North Carolina in pre senting" each lady attendant upon the association with a handsome boquet of American beauty roses, and recogniz ing his gallant fight for American man hood as well, ' most .heartily resolved that the thanks of, this association be tendered Mr. Hearst by a rising vote." . North Carolina cut a wide sawth at both ends of the cjJpitol today. While Speaker Cannon was wearing a patri otic North Carolina emblem, over at the other end of the building a Tar Heel invoked the divine blessing. Rev. H. M. Blair, editor of the North Caro lina Christian Advocate, had the honor of offering prayer in the Senate. He was also the guest of President Pro Tern Frye in -the vice-president's room before the Senate convened. Carriages, were furnished the party by the ; congressional delegation, in which they made the trip about the city, under the escort of Representa tives Kluttz and Page. An early start was made from the hotel, the treasury being the first objective, point. There they saw . Uncle Sam's great pile of money, the very sight of which, Dr. Woinble declared, made him sad. A trip across the hall to the bureau of printing and engraving was next made, where the' process of making the yel lows and . the greens was witnessed. Visits "were also made to the national museum, the supreme court and the library. The only point of Interest overlooked was the White House, which later in the evening was visited by a few of the editors. Representative Kluttz es corted this party, and he obtained per mission from Secretary Loeb to, go through the White House, though it was after visiting hours. As one mem- ber remarked, the visit was made through curiosity and not by reason . of any desire to meet the president, j In fact a, number of editors were em-j phatic in assorting' tharthey wodld not 1 ,be -presented to Mr.- Roosevelt, and consequently- the morning- trip to the : White House,: announced in the' morn-j ing papers as being on the program, did rot take place. - j Asked about this incident, President ; Varner said:, "I do not think there was any desire on the part of the members of the party to call on the president and pay their .respects. In fact only one member suggested such a thing, though some of us might have called out of curiosity. I for one was op posed to this feature of the program when suggested." At the farewell business meeting of the association-this afternoon it was decided unanimously to hold the next meeting in St. Louis. A letter from the exposition authorities inviting the as sociation to meet there' next May, when the national association. will be in ses sion, was reaa by President Varner. It is desired to have, all the state edito rial association : meet there at one time. The letter was -accepted, but the date ot the visit was left to the execu tive committee. A resolution was adopted thanking the railroads,' newspapers, correspond ents, members of congress and others for courtesies extended during the visit here. The initiation fee into the asso ciation was raised to ?5. . Many of the editors returned home tonight, while a few went to Baltimore. There is a good representation still in the city, a number of whom will re main over until Sunday. The visitors en. xonarawooa ana xo umer w have a ereat tim. and thv officers are, to a certain extent, in- that the trip must be repeated. (Continued on- sixth page.)

The Senate was in session oday only from -noon until 12.35 and, on motion of Mr. Allison, adjourned until tomorrow. The busi ness transacted was purely of a rou tine character. It had been considered Drobable that a resolution for the ad journment f the extra session of con gress would be brought in, but none was off ered and a session was provid ed for tbmorrow, with the hope that an adjournment agreement may be reach ed by that time. The House of Representatives was in session but five minutes. Mr. Hun ter of Kentucky and Mr. Nevin of Ohio were sworni in as members. At 12.05 the House adjourned until tomorrow. CONTINUED HEAVY TRADING IN COTTON Speculators Still Discussing the Government's Report of the Crop JNew Tork, Dec. 4. Today proved, another very big day of trading on thfe New York cotton exchange, though the total of the sales was less than Thurs day when the announcement of the 'short crop i-eport of the department ol agriculture sales were sent prices booming. The estimated at 1,700,000 bales against Thursday's total of 2,000,000 bales. New high record figures for tht season were reached bv the various monthly deliveries, with March, the most activje month, touching 12.73 cents, closing at 12.60. The response, prior to the local opening of the cotton market In Liverpool, to the showing of the government crop report was very bullish, arid when the local market started there was a turbulent scene. Buying orders came in big blocks of 1,000 bales and upwards, and there was further squeezing of the bears. ., In the last few days the bears have received one of the worst drubbings in the history of the cotton exchange. Their losses are figured j to have been A New View Deadlock in Congress Recess Fall to Appointments Will the Ground Unless an Adjournment Is Ta ken Before Noon Monday . Washington, Dec. 4. By an unusual sequence of events, the fortunes -of vclved in the deadlock between the Sen ate and House over the question of ad journing the extra session of congress.

But from all that can be learned of the temper of the House nothing-will cause it to waver In Its determination to car ry the extra session to noon Monday. , epeaiter annor is as iirra as a. rocit and haB the House with him.

V Spot cotton during the day was mark ed up 20 points with middling uplands quoted 12.6 cents a pound. ; Discussion continued active regarding the govern ment showing of a crop of only 9,962, 033 bales. Theodore H. Price, who bulled cotton several months under ten cents a pound, and who then turned bear on the market, came out with this statement: ' '. So far as the government estimate Of the cotton : crop is concerned I do not regard it as conclusive. For thirty thre years ' It has averaged 8.4 per cent under the actual crop. In 1901-02 the government estimate was 9,674,000 bales, while actual returns were 10,801, 000. Advices from "the south say good weather had addefd largely to the yield. I believe the crop, will be considerably in excess of the world's requirements." . , , , REYES TO MEET THE PRESIDENT Washlngton, Dec 4; At' the cabinet meejting. today it was arranged that the formal, presentation to the president of General Reyes as envoy extraordi- nary plenipotentiary on a special mis sion from Colombia to ' the United States should take place tomorrow morning. Secretary Hay will intro- ducce General Reyes. The secretary is satisfied as to the plenipotentiary powers possessed by General Reyes, and will afford him every opportunity to discharge his mis sion. But the fact is not concealed that there is no hope of success. Minister Beaupre.rat Bogota, has ad vised the state department tnat tne Hay-Herran canal treaty was rejected by the Colombian senate on its merits. The minister's advices continue to set out the fact that the Colombians still are hopeful of being able to nego tiate a new treaty with the United States, and are willing to extend to the United favorable. States trns much more BIG HAUL BY :X SNEAK THIEF & Baltimore, "Dec. 4. A sneak thief en tered the waiting room of the register ed letter division o the -post" office to day and stole a leather , satchel con taining ; nine registered letters-from Stewart' HUL a runner for the j Mer chants ' National bar... Td registered letters in the satchel contained coupons amounting to $S10, bonds of the Balti more ; and Annapolis short, line worth 5,3,000, and fifty shares, of stock of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, worth $2,500. Hill, the run ner, is about twenty years old. He had been sent from the bank for the: morn ing's registered mail. He had receipted for nine letters in the registry room when one of the clerks told him that there were three other letters to be signed for: He had already put the nine letters in the sahel and had closed it. As he started to sign for the remaining three he laid the satchel of the - rum would be necessary" If the point were raised, to pass a resolution ad- journing sine die. As Dr. Crum, the negro collector of customs at Charles ton, S. C. is in the same boat with General Wood and the other recess ap pointments, it is quite likely that sou thern members opposed to Crum will raise the point of no quorum if a prop osition Is made to adjourn the House. As Crum's nomination has failed with the others, he will cease to be collector at Charleston unless there is a recess of congress between now and Monday noon', during wheh interval President Roosevelt would reappoint him. So far as Crum is concerned, there will be no recess of congress at the president's request. The president has found it difficult to drop Crum, and if by the clash of the two houses of con gress he is thrust out of office there will be no wailing at the White House. RATES TOO HIGH .

The sub marine torpedo loat Adder, one of the j two sister ships of this type which ' were in peril off the Carolina coast i yesterday, has arrived at the navy yard in this city in tow of the tug Peoria, which was convoying the two boats to Annapolis. She is apparently in - good condition, alt ough some re pairs may have to be made. ; . The Peoria has had a hard time sav ing the boats. She " struggled hard almost all of last night through . the heavy sea that was pounding the coast. The low lying submarine boat was a heavy drag on the powerful tug, and it seemed most of the time that she must break adrift and follow the Moccasin ashore. The latter vessel stranded . soon after the Yankton, dispatched, from this yard to assist her,, was compelled by storm and darkhsss and the proximity f th dtnffer St1!" f abandon her. The Yankton Is still In the vicinity of the stranded sub marine, and will try to pull her oft the beach If she was not pounded into a leaky condition by "the. heavy seas last night.
