Kitchin Opposed to Ratification and in Favor of the Nicaragua Route-Walter Henry a Retired Politicjaii-Golonel Con ningham's Stories Made a Hit By THOMAS V'a?hington, Feb. 6. Special. There i? sharp division of sentiment in North Curo'.ina with reference to the ratifica tion of the Panama' canal treaty, as is evidenced by letters addressed to both Fe:.ators and the divided stand taken by members of the congressional dele s, . i "While Senator Simmons has received a number of letters applaud ir.g his course in favoring the treaty, prater Overman has heard from "a pi. at number of TarjHeels 'who com mend his letters addressed to the Wil mington Chamber of Commerce and urging him to oppose ratification. The Otters addressed to the two senators rr tke it clear that there is much di v i? ion of sentiment among; prominent :i:izens of the state as to the advisa bility of ratifying; the treaty with Pan nr.a. The indications are that the majority f the congressional delegation favor ratification, but opposite views are en tertained by some of the representa tives. W. W. "Kitchin has pronounced vie.-vs on thes'ubject. When approach el today, he said: "Without reflecting; upon, or criticis ing the opinion of other men, my views are against ratification of the treaty. Our law provides that if a satisfactory title to the property of the New Pana ma Canal Company and the control of the necessary territory of Colombia can not be obtained upon reasonable terms, then, the president shall proceed to Ni caragua to build the canal. "Colombia, in her sovereign right, re jected the Hay-Herran treaty. Imme diately It became the duty of the pres ident to proceed to Nicaragua, for a canal, this being- the route that the ma jority of our people have favored for years. He violated this duty. Panama revolted --from Colombia, and though plainly unable alone to sustain her in dependence, and therefore not entitled to recognition as an indepnedent state, the president precipitately recognized her, committing in his own language an exception to the rules of internat ional law, and agreed to maintain her independence. His conduct vas an act of war against" Colombia, a friendly republic. After the president of the United States had thus acted other countries recognized the republic of Panama, for they knew that Colombia, however just might be her cause, could not prevail against the United States and maintain her sovereignty, over Panama, . .'' "In my judgment the domineering methods of the Rough Rider should not be ratified, but the Panama treaty fhould be rejected as it now is, and the president should be required to forthwith proceed under the Spooner act to construct the Nicaragua canal. A plain statement of the facts does rot show a title satisfactory to con-' Si ientious men, for they must want a canal free from the spirit of the high wayman. "Violation of duty is not essential i- for Political Duty His Name Considered for Chairman of Congressional Campaign Committee. Blackburn's Ten strike the Subject of Comment By THOMAS J.' PENCE . Washington, Feb. 6. Special. It be-C-.e known today that the name of snator F. M. Simmons is being seri 0usly considered by party leaders in nnection with the chairmanship of tr-e Democratic congressional campaign committee. So far as the Tar Heel sen ior is concerned, he knows nothing of the mention of his name in connection th the position, which is to be ma'de V; cant by the decision of Judge James A. Griggs to resign, which was made no-nm for the first time this week. ne re-election of Chairman Griggs was considered a foregone conclusion, but illness of Mrs. Griggs made it ne sary for v,5m to give up the manage- er-r rf the congressional campaign. r the past two days there has been u 1 peculation in Democratic circles ' tn his successor. names of Senator Martin of Vir J. PENCE for a canal, for we can rightfully pro ceed to the Nicaraga route. That what has been done is an accomplish ed fact, as the president calls it, is no more justification for our keeping its fruits than that the stealing of God frey's bonds, an accomplished fact, wourd have justified another in keeping them. Some accomplished facts which can not be escaped must be borne, but the stern law of unbending necessity can not be invoked in this case. 5 Some crimes, acomplished facts, go un- whipped of justice, but they rarely re ceive'the approval of deliberative men. we do not justify in morals or con science the detention of goods taken by force or intimidation, directly or indirectly, from a weak and defense less owner." Walter Henry Out of Politics Mr. Walter R. Henry of Charlotte was he're today oh his return from New York, where he went in the interest of his banking .connections, of which he is a southern representative. Col. Henry has discarded politics for business. In the course of an interview today he gave expression to vivid and pictur esque language in describing the leap. "Yes, I am here from New York," Col. Henry remarked. "I have an en gagement with, one of f the largest na tional banks of "that city. My family will continue to reside in Charlotte. I will travel throughout the south-" "What of politics?" "I am letting politics alone for the present," was his reply. "I will give my attention to my banking- work,- and to my book. I have been engaged on this book, during" my leisure hours for more than ten years.' Itwill be copyrighted this spring1. ' I have flattering" offers from New York publishers." "I am out l;Of-seli tics in North-Carolina. On principle, there . is nothing there in a fight against Democracy, un less one wishes to play political poker. I do not care to sit in the game. "North Carolina will give the next Democratic candidate for the presir dency, who will be promptly beaten, no matter where he comes from, or who he happens to.be, 80,000 majority if there is enough interest developed to bring Out that vote, and as for the state, the Democrats have that 'grab bed for the next hundred years. "My observations, reflections and ex perience have conducted me to the con clusion, speaking generally, that poli tics is the dirtiest pool this side of Tar tarus. From .out of its ooze. the flower of happiness seldom springs, . 'friend ship (there) is but a name,' consistency, a discarded jewel, while the will' o "the wisp, that dances above its slime, is but the seductive, fleeting office. "Politics, too often is not so much the 'science of government' as the fetid .cloacae, out of which wriggle the politi cal bacilli that rot the body politic." Cunningham's Funny Stortes Representative W. W. Kitchin de (Continued on page 2.) ginia, Senator Simmons of North Caro lina and Representative. Cowherd have been the most prominently mentioned In this connection. A number of well known Democrats look with favor upon Senator, Simmons' selection. It will be a month yet before the committee meets and chooses a chairman. So far only a few of the state delegations have met to select" representatives on the committee. In; all probability W. W. Kitchin, the senior representative of the state in point Of service, will be chosen as North Carolina's representa tive. . Blackburn Has an Axe to Grind The rivalry of North Carolina Repub licans to pose as sponsor for the reso lutions adbpted by the Republican state executive committee,' in-praise of the strenuous and terrible occupant of the white house, is the occasion of much humorous comment in Washington. Everybody is laughing as the result of the snap judgment taken by Represen tative Blackburn, who caught the old rats unawares and presented the first genuine, blown-in-the-bottle Roosevelt resolutions. There was method in P,lackburn's madness. He has interests pending before the terrible Teddy that affect vttally his future in politics, and he did rot draw ur those resolutions for nothing." Among' other things, Blackbur;i wants a job like" unto that held bv Marshall Mott, who went out side of the state for influence the t fi nally placed him on the pay roll. It is Blackburn's belief that he will be nominated for congress, but In the meantime he would not be averse to drawing a salary as special attorney in post office and other fraud cases. Hence it is that unthinking people may be able to divine the motive of Black burn's hot. air introduction of the Roosevelt obituary. The president will hear more about these resolutions. The organization does not intend that Blackburn shall get the credit for being the only Roose velt windmill in North Carolina. There will 'be explanations to show that the ex-representative from . the eigth was a little quicker with hi3 knees and his body than the others, but that the real undying and everlasting admiration for the president centered in the au thors of the Dockery resolutions, which were the joint product of Butler, Rol lins and Company. Something for the Farmers s Senator Simmons had a' conference with Secretary of Agriculture Wilson this morning, and he was informed that the department of agriculture will urge an appropriation by congress for the purpose of gathering information for weekly and monthly reports on the trucking Industry. It is Mr. Wilson's determination to appear next week be fore the Senate committee on agricul ture, of which Mr. Simmons Is a mem ber, and present the urgent resolutions for disseminating authentic informa tion as to the condition of the truck ing crops. The senior Tar Heel senator will use his influence to secure the in formation. Mr. Wilson realizes that the trucking Interests are more in need of authentic and specific information with reference to the condition of these crops than any other planters, because of the perishable nature of their pro ducts Another matter Senator Simmons dis cussed with the secretary of agricul ture was the request of the North Car olina department of agriculture for extending the franking privilege to of ficial publications Issued by the state. Mr. Wilson thought the Idea a good one. He will urge Congress to grant this privilege to all state agricultural departments. BOOST FOR PARKER The Manhattan Club Gives His Candidacy a Send-off . New York. Feb.. 6. The Parker boom got a boost tonight at the dinner given by the Manhattan Club for John Hone, its vice president. Chief Judge Parker sat-at-the- left of Justice -TrauxT";who presided, while the guest of honor sat on the. right. The speaker. was Senator McCarren of Brooklyn. He said: s "It has been said here tonight that the Manhattan Club is the leading Democratic Club in the United States. I believe that is true, and being true, I am glad to see that the leading Dem ocratic club of the United States has nominated for the presidency so sterling and so inspiring a Democrat as Judge Parker. I want to second his nomina tion. "He is conservat!Vet dignified, judi cial, one of the strong and triumphant young Democracy, allied with no fac tion and having no enemies to punish. (Great applause.) "He measures up to the standard which all thinking Democrats require In their candidate for the presidency. His back is toward dead Issues arid his face toward a living and triumphant future. Such is the man upon whom all Democrats can unite andwho will surely lead the party to victory." - Just before Senator McCarren spoke, and after a speech by Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle, in which he said that the Democracy had every chance of winning the next election, but could not win unless it made up its mind that certain issues had been buried and buried forever, Judge Parker was call ed on for a speech. He was greeted with cheers and made a five minute speech, in which he fe licitously referred to the great services Mr. Hone had rendered to the club. A letter of regret from Grover Cleveland was read by Justice Truax and was received with almost as much cheering as was the nomination of Justice Par ker. Japs Called Home San Francisco, Feb. 6 The Japanese government has issued a call ordering the immediate return of all Japanese liable for military service. It came through the local consulate and the two Japanese papers published here issued extracts last night containing the official announcement. It is esti mated that there are over 1,000 Japanese in California subject to the call. 2 Several weeks ago many of these Ja panese gave notice to their employers that they were liable to be called upon by their government and they - would be obliged to return home on a mo ment's notice. Failure to obey the conscription would mean a loss of "all rights as citizens of Japan. Lights for Less Money Charlotte, N. C, Feb. 6. Special. The light committee of the aldern.3n today recommended the acceptance by ( the city of the bid or the Catawba ( Power Company of Rock Hill for: light- j ing Charlotte. ... The new concern will put 1,200 candle power lamps at $54 and j $4S. A five year contract will be made, j The city is now. paying ?90 for its lights. .... THE NEGRO VOTER T 1 Maryland Preparing ta Re duce His NciTiber Con siderably Annapolis, Md., .Feb. 6. It is almost certain that during the present session of the state legislature Maryland will join the states of tire south which have practically ; disfranchised the negro. The members of the. .present legislature, three-fifths of whoBa are Democrats, were elected last fall on a vote pledged to this course, andnere is little doubt that it will be acpmplished in some form. Special interfest attaches to the attempt to dlsfranehlse the negro in Maryland, as -this Is.the only state not one of the .original slave-holding states, where it ha been thought nec essary. Moreover, 'only "about , one fifth the citizens of Maryland are col ored. Therefore the movement does not spring from any grave danger to the supremacy of tb whites, but rath er the abstract question of fitness of the negro for the exercise of suffrage. Still another feature which attaches special interest to the Maryland anti negro movement the fact that the law to limit his right of suffrage, as in troduced in the Senate this week ; by Senator Wilson of Prince George coun ty, is by far the., most drastic of any plan that has been-proposed, and is the most likely to accomplish the dis franchisement of practically all the ne groes without affecting any consider able number of . the illiterate whites. The bill In some form, however, is al most certain to pass the legislature, and it will then be necessary for it to be submitted to a popular vote, throughout . the state for adoption be fore It becomes a law. WOMENS RESCUE WORK President Roosevelt Gives His Approval in" a Letter Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 6. Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett addressed the executive committee of. the National Council ot Women today in tie" interest of the Florence Crittenden Homes for the Res cue of Young Wbmen, and read the following letter from President Roose velt: "My Dear Madam: I wish you all possible success with your work. I had long felt that there wasa peculiar claim for philanthropic work on behalf of the 'very class which you are striv ing to aid. y - .v. "In our sociaiajeyrtem" tliey ' "pay so heavy a penalty for wrongdoing and the road to reform and rehabilitation is made so difficult that I can conceive of no more worthy work than that of institutions such as the one under your management.

Edward Butler of St. Louis, the millionaire politician who has been on trial on a charge of bribing members of the St. Louis House of Delegates to secure the pas sage of a city lighting bill in 1899, was acquitted today by a jury in Judge Grave's court. . When the jury first came in today they reported that they were unable to agree. , ' "Is there any prospect of your reach ing a.r early decision" asked the court. "I can not say," replied Foreman Rosser. "We are still considering the case." Judge Graves thereupon requested the jury to retire again, saying he would recall them in a short time. The jury thereupon retired again, and when the members again appeared the verdict of "not guilty" was announced. MORMON INQUIRY ' 3 " Senate Committee Will Enter Upon a Big Undertaking Washington, Feb. 6.

Great Tidal Wave Paris, Feb. 6. Wednesday's tidal wave wrought greater havoc on the coast of Finisterre than has ben ex perienced since the fourteenth century. The fishing population lost practically all ' their property. One wave could not have been less than 100 feet high. Houses near the water were demolish ed and whole fields submerged and cov ered with sand. Rocks forty feet above the high water mark "were covered with 1 seaweed and pebbles. The gigantic wave carried a rock" weighing 4,000 ponds several yards. Smaller rocks were flung great distances. iles in Oil Business Guthrie, Oklahoma, Feb. -General Nelson A.

The first sittings of parliament revealed a condition of af fairs that no party and no branch of any party can regard with moderate satisfaction, .much less pride. Weak ness is the prominent feature. The all round Impression given is of a weak prime minister, a weak government and a weak dominant party. Yet the in creased weakness of the government does not seem to have added apprecia bly to the strength of the opposition. MINE GAS EXPLODES Life of Fire Boss Lost After Warning Miners Scranton, Pa., Feb. 6. By a terrific explosion of gas today at the Storrls No. 2 mine of the Lackawanna Com pany at Priceburg, Evans Gabriel was killed and many others were injured, five seriously. The men who were brought out of the mines relate thrill ing stories of their experience. L The accumulation of gas was due to a "squeeze" that had taken place re cently, at the mine. Gabriel owes the loss of his life, to the carelessness of others. He had warned a party of twelve not to go to a certain part ot the mine. They did not heed him, and their lamps" set off the gas. Gabriel was the fire boss, was fifty years old, and the father of a family of six. LASHED WITH WIRES CrueJ Punishment of a Negro for Ta! ki ng Imprudently Roanoke, Va., Teb. 6. Taylor" Fields, a young negro; narrowly escaped meet ing death at the rope's end last night in Salem.' He had been making re marks similar to those made by Rev. R. R. Jones and a few others relative to the Shields assault case of last week to the effect that no negro was guilty of the crime, but it was believed that Shields had committed the crime. A crowd rof determined persons cap tured him, a rope was placed around his neck and he was carried to a tele graph pole to which, after being strip ped, he was securely tied and then lash ed around the body, with pieces of wire. The crowd; also used some fence pall ings in expressing their indignation. When the nero was turned loose he was told that Salem was too small a town to hold him or any one else that expressed such views, and it is gaid that he started toward Fort Lewis Mountain. A fusillade of shots was fired in the air. The screams of the negro awakened the neighborhood for several blocks. The infuriated citizens stuffed handkerchiefs in the negro's mouth. ' WOMEN FIGHT FIRE ' - s- Greensboro, N. C. Feb. 6. Special. There was a slight fire at Greensboro Female College last night shortly after 10 o'clock, the damage being mainly to the walls and floors, and will perhaps not exceed $25.

Annie Pegram, Edna Fisher and Sallie Davis, members of the faculty, and "Uncle Mat' the night watchman, who formed a bucket brigade and pour ed water on the flames holding them in check until the firemen arrived.

Suit Dismissed Richmond, Va., Feb. 6. Special. The United States circuit court of appeals. on motion of the plaintiff, today dis missed the case of Harvey Terry vs. Lillian F. Naylor from the circuit court . at Raleigh. - i p ni The Reply of Russia Has Been Delivered to Japan and Its Contents Are Not at All Satisfactory, Fighting Will Probably Begin in a Few Days Washington, Feb. , In the opinion of well informed off! clar persons here the presentation to Japan of the Rus sian response to the last Japanese note has again brought uncertainty Into a situation that, up to this afternoon, pointed directly to a hostile clash. There is reason to believe, from advices received from the far east, that had the Russian government attempted to de lay the transmission of its communica tion until Monday Japan would have declared war or made an -offensive movement In the meantime. But even with the note from the St. Petersburg ministry In the hands of the Toklo gov ernment there has been no real change, it is held here, in the crisis. News that hostilities have been begun will not surprise the Washington authorities; In fact they are expecting it. M. Takahira, the Japanese minister, has evidently abandoned hope of a con tinuance of peace, although he will not say so directly. Such advices as he has from his government indicate that war may be expected at any moment. Mr. Takahira expressed his gloomy views to acting Secretary of State ' Loomis during a call at the state department this afternoon. Up to that time he had not received word that the Russiap response had been transmitted and was inclined to doubt the truth of the re port. Minister Griscom has Indicated to the department that Japan will not be sat isfied with any response that does not grant all that Japan demands. The state- department received addi tional details today from the Postal Telegraph-Cable. Company of the de claration of a censorship by Japan in the following communication: ;"With further reference to the prohi bition of code and cipher in private telegrams to Japan, we are advised that private telegrams originating "from all offices in Japan' are included Those from Formosa and Japanese offices in Fusan, Seoul and Chemulpo shall be written in plain language, in Japanese, English or French. Private telegrams in secret language emanating from the central offices of Tokio, Yokohoma and Kobi, should the circumstances Avar rant it, may be accepted on the condi tion that the code be produced and an explanatory' note in Japanese English or French attached. Messages passing over Japanese lines to Japan and Corea shall only be accepted at the sender's risk." Observers Going to the Seat of War m Believing that war Is Inevitable, the navy department and the war depart ment are making preparations to be represented by trained observers at the scene so the American army and navy may get the benefit of the conduct of a campaign on land and sea. The war department has selected Brigadier Gen eral Henry T.
