Mr. Tillett replied: "I cannot help what your Honor's recollection is. I stake all my reputation for truthfulness on the statement that It occurred ex actly as I have detailed it." At this Juncture Mr. Busbee arose and said: "I desire to corroborate Mr. Tillett's statement. The matter occur red exactly as Mr. Tillett said it did."

Serious diffi culties have been encountered by this government in its efforts to secure the release of Ion Perdicatis." the American resident of Tangier from the hands of Raesuli, the Moorish brigand and. there is now a prospect that the United States and Great Britain will assist the sultan of Morocco ln operations against Raesuli. Three morej American war ships were ordered to Tangier today, making seven in all which will go to that port. These vessels carry 2,500 blue Jackets and marines who may be landed on Morocco's soil and be sent against the brigand chief tan. A long dispatch received at the state department yesterday from Mr. Cum mere. United States consul general at Tangier, contained information about Raesuli's demands that irritated the president and his advisors, and pro duced a feeling that drastic measures are necessary to secure freedom for the two prisoners. Raesuli, Mr. Gummere said, had made many demands. One was for the payment of a heavy ran som,' the amount of .which the officials here do not care to state. His other demands are mainly political. .He in sists that he shall be granted immunity from punishment for his offenses, that, a certain area of territory in Morocco where he shall have supreme control with the title of sovereign and shall be immune from the' paym nt of taxes or any obligations to the sultan's gov ernment. He further Insists that the government of the United States and Great Britain shall guarantee that the sultan adhere to an agreement ambrac ing these conditions. It did not take the administration officials long to decide that it was man ifestly impossible to agree to these de mands and Consul General Gummere was so Informed ln a telegram from Secretary Hay. Whether a definite course of action has been determined upon the officirls are unwilling to say but lt is hinted that the government does not intend to be trifled, with by an Impertinent Moor, who, Mr. Gum mere's dispatch shows, regards himself as one of the greatest men in the world. As a consequence of RaeuH's atti tude, the secretary of the navy today cabled orders to Rear Admiral Jewell, commanding the European naval sta tion to proceed at onoe with his squad ron to Tangier. The squadron arrived at Horta, Azores, this morning. Rear Admiral Chadwick, commanding the South Atlantic naval station who sailed hurriedly yesterday for Tangier, was followed later in the dya by the re mainder of his squadron. It is expect ed that a British squadron will be sent to Tangier. From present indications, the United States government may or der the battleship squadron of the North Atlantic fleet toMorocco. Part of the squadron Is in the Azores and will be Joined later by the Illinois and the Missouri.

"It Is further ordered that this cause be and the same Is hereby referred to S. C. Ryan, Special Master, pro has vice io hear the testimony and report his findings of fact thereon on the said 15th day of July. 1904." Some Special Notable Incidents This order is made on the complaint and petition of John P. Cuyler. of New Jersey and K. S. Finch of New York, who was made a co-complainant with Cuyler during the hearing yesterday. To this order counsel for the defendants excepted and appealed to the - circuit court, giving $500 bond. Daring the hearing the court stated' that it was not in the province of the court to lease the road but simply to preserve the property and when the order was made appointing the receiver the court said hr response to inquiry that stockholders ?an at any time they desire hold a meeting and vote on propositions for the " lease of the road and when any proposal is accepted by them it can be submitted to the court for approval and in the event it is satisfactory to the court he will there after dismiss the receivership. The hearing of the case yesterday was in progress from 10 a. m. to 5.30 p. m., barring two hours for dinner and for consultation of counsel as to a proposition laid down by the JJudge that there was ample evidence of mis management, misappropriation of funds and acts ultra vires admitted in the answer by the defendant to warrant, the appointment of the receiver. This announcement was one of the most notable features of the hearing and stampeded the defense. For when they came back in the court it was with a proposition to give bond in any amount deemed necessary for the protection of the interests of the complainants against any and all acts and conditions complained of by them if only there .should be no appointment of a" receiver. This proposal lacking authorisation by the stockholders or the directors of the company was declared by counsel for the complaint an act ultra vires. Another, especially notable feature of the hearing was the introduction by counsel for complainants of H. A. Page of the special committee appointed by the Governor to investigate the condi tion of the A. and N. C. He was asked to produce In the court the copy of the evidence taken during the investiga tion and declined t do so without a special order of the court both he and the defendant, through counsel resist ing the demand of complainants, coun sel for the presentation of the evidence. Finally the order was made and the copy of the evidence, over 400 pages, was introduced as evidence for the de fence. It was "during the argument on this point that Capt. W. H. Day declared that it was a fact that the people of that state had paid for the taking of that evidence and they had a right to know its contents; that all the copies of It were in the hands of the defend ant and that they had actually through B. C. Beckwith, of the board of inter nal improvements, sent down to New Bern and purchased the stenographers report as taken during the Investiga tion and now they had that also inthelr L possession. Mr. Beckwith was present and stated privately that they merely paid the lady fifty cents for the copy books that she used, that being what they actually cost hen And that the only Idea they had was to preserve the original in the event 'any question should be raised about any matter that transpired during the investigation. The counsel" who participated in the hearing were on the part of - the com plainant; W. W. Fleming of Nejv York; W. W. Clark of New Bern, Capt. W. H. Day, Col.T. M. Argo of Raleigh, and W. C.

Friends of Miss Harrold say that the letter can have no bearing, however, on Colonel Pitcher's silence after leaving Miss Harrold. Failing to hear from him, she believed, they assert, that after going to New York he must have been taken suddenly ill. She was so worried over his silence that she asked some of her friends to find out if he was not in a hospital somewhere.

The categorical answers by Colonel Pitcher to the war department's interrogations were not obtainable at the war department.

However, Judge r Pritchard will proba bly cherish the latter as a constant re minder of the former. Mr. Henry II Davis, who made the presentation, re marked that the breath of the Judicial nostrils is the esteem and respect of the bar." The president has converted the White House into ordinary Republican campaign headquarters. Statements of a political nature, relating to the Republican national convention have been issued from the historic home of our great presidents for weeks past.

Secretary of the Navy Moody has quickly disposed of the request by Geo. F. Ormsby of this city that Cap tain S. C. Lemly of Winston, N. C, the Judge advocate general of the navy, be courtmartialed.
