COASTING TRADE Lord LansdOWne GlVQS PaHia- mtnt a Poi hfed Hint London, June 13. In the House of Lords today Lord Muskerry complained that other countries were reserving their coastwise trade rels, and asked what the government had done respecting the.United States applying its own coastwise laws to the Philippines. Lord Lansdowne, eign affairs, replied secretary for for- that undoubtedly by which certain i the present system taliation they made the least use of the British coasting trade and consequently offered the smallest target for reprisals.

A dispatch to the Times from Paris says there is j reason' to believe the sultan of Morocco has not conceded all the bandit Raisuli for th conditions of the release of Messrs Perdicaris and Varlej-, but despite the delay there will probably soon be a definite issue one way or the other so fc.r ys the fate of the captives is con- cerneci. It is nowise that their release wil: certain, however, remove the diffi- cultifs :' of the situation. It is I feared that the sultan's acquiescence !in the demands will lead the tribes to be lieve that the captures of subjects of other governments will enable them to obtain their demands in the future. i Tangier, June 13. The British min ister states that Raisuli has been no- tified that the sultah concedes ; nearly all his demands. The minister lis un able to even approximately indicate the date of the release of 'the prison ers. AN HISTORIC ERROR Not True That 11 Men Were Created Equal j Chicago, June 13. T) Frank W.

I FAYETTE i i I McCaskiil Charged With Excluding Colored Men From a Republican County Convention Not True That Collector Duncan Has Been Under Fire-Judge Robinson Bound for Chicago By THOMAS Washington, June 13 . Special. A. L. McCaskiil, postmaster;! i at Fayetteville, who is seeking reappointment and who is endorsed by Republican State Chair man Rollins, has encountered the spirited opposition of a number of ne gro leaders in North Carolina. This hostility resulted frorn the exclusion of negroes from the county convention of Cumberland, and McCaskiil is charged with responsibility. Formal charges to this effect have jben filed -with tstmaster General Parne. the noliti- ji n-!fmi-r of i Tn6vpif H vvint The specifications are; made in "writing by C. D. Waddell, a prominent colored man. He first met Postmaster General Payne at the conventionjthat nominat ed Harrison, where he was one of the delegates from North j Carolina. Wad dell makes a full statement of the negro situation, and jhe charges that members of his race were forcibly de nied representation in' the Cumberland Republican convention!; as the result of McCaskill's effort. If the incident is made prominent in a national way the president will turn MciCaskill down for the effect that his action will have on the negroes of the country. ' The admin istration, however, does not wish to override a recommeniatiori of State Chairman Rollins, the aocredited lead er in the state, and unless great pres sure is brought to bea Wa-ddell's com plaint will be allowed to slumber. That's the way the president works the negroes and the political leaders, though his natural affection is for the negro. But withal he is a diplomat when he desires to be! Collector E. C. Duncan was here to day, and it was learned that his visit relates entirely to official business. He was with the commissioner during the afternoon and returned to Raleigh to night. Soon after the Republican state convention met in jdreensboro the story was printed that Duncan was under fire as the result of the re venue fraud cases. There never was . any foundation for such a story. As Com missioner Yerkes stated at the time the evidence on which these prosecu tions were based was obtained from five states and one territory. No one in North Carolina could have possibly secured the information pointing to the guilty parties. The internal revenue department here worked for months and months developing the necessary proof with which to convict. It is di- ; K!onpt. yPri,pS flnrl tho fnp nD(iPr v.! are still at work on a similar trail. Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson, Republi can national committeeman from North Carolina, spent the nigit here and left this afternoon for Chicago,1 where he goes to attend the Republican national convention. Judge Robinson precedes the other North Carolina delegates in order to be present at 'the meeting of the national committee. Accompany ing him are his two sons, W. S. O'B. Robinson, Jr., and J. j M.

It was reported today that one of the miners deported last week has return- ed. Citizens are searching for him. It is 'declared that any deported men re turning will be hanged as soon as they are captured.

He denied that-she had been sold to either the Japanese or Russian government. He refused to say to whom the boat had bean sold. H said Mr. Simon Lake's mission . to Europe was partly on pleasure and partly on business. Asked whether the Protector could be taken through the Suez Canal as merchandise, he replied that no war vessel could go through the SUea Canal "The Protector then will h"ave to be taken around by the Cape of Good hope?" ha was asked. He replied: "That would evidently be the better way." He added: "1 am the leal adviser of the Lake Com pany and of course must protect ths interests of my clients.
