Many of Governor ' hnston's descendants are said to : e in the vicinity of Edenton. Simmons' Busy Day enntor Simmons put in a very busy 2 in Washing-ton. He arrived on a ' ning train, and came very near t aking the rounds of all the depart :its before taking the 7 o'clock Sea rd train for Raleigh. First of all went to the Panama canal com ' "'on, where he urged the appoint- t of James W. Wilson, Jr., of "' ke to a position on the Panama ' road. Senator Simmons spoke of ' "oil's valuable railroad experience "" ! was informed that he stood a .r 1 chance of receiving an appoint- t as soon as a vacancy occurred, i he senator secured a gix weeks' e of absence for Numa Nunn of ' Bern, who has been in Panama six months, in the employ of the ' i commission. Nunn has received promotions and is in line for ari by reason of his good record. n a boy he went to South Africa, re he remained three years and ud a very good position at a sacrifice in order to take his chances in Panama, where he thinks there are great opportunities for a young man. Burlington and Graham are having a clash over a rural delivery route, and this called for Senator -Simmons' attention at the postofflce department. It seo.ns that a route has been order ed from Burlington which invades the town limits of iGraham. This is in violation of the rules governing the establishment of rural routes, and while the proposed route 'might throw a few chips toward Postmaster "Wal ler's salary, it is doubtful whether the department will consent to . its establishment. At the navy department Senator Simmons requested the transfer of Sydney C. Haas of New Bern, who is enlisted in the marine service, from his station in the Philippines to this country. He has been in the Orient nearly three years and if after in vestigation it- is found possible to transfer him the request will be granted.

THE COTTON SCANDAL Secret Service Men Seem to Be on New Trail Investigation Will Not be Concluded as Soon as Was Expected Sta tistician Hyde Surprised at the Ev idence Submitted by Mr.Cheatham .: Washington, June 26. Announcement is now made that the investigation of the cotton scandal in the department of agriculture -will not be concluded as soon as ,was expected. Instead of leav ing here this morning Richard Cheat ham of Atlanta, secretary of the South ern Cotton Growers' Association, re mained until tonight, being in confer ence throughout the day with Secre tary Wilson and special agents of the secret s'ervice who are engaged in tho inquiry. Chief Statistician John Hyde, whose division is under fire, also con ferred with the secret service agents Land is helping them to solve the mys tery. Mr. Cheatham left for Memphis tonight. He goes there on a mission connected with the. investigation. Secretary Wilson, who had intended to make a tour of inspection of the forests reserves in the west, has post poned his trip." It is announced that he will not leave the city until the cotton scandal is probedto the bottom. In the meantime the secret service agents are busy. Their work is being done with great care and they are running down every rumor and report having a bearing on the case that is brought to the attention of the de partment. "It was said today that Chief Sta tistician Hyde expressed great surprise when confronted with the evidence sub mitted to Secretary Wilson by Mr. Cheatham. Secretary WMson, it was declared, is now convinced that there were leaks and that he is even willing to concede that figures were juggled, but Mr. Hyde js certainly not involved, as his services have been enlisted in the work of investigation. Mr. Wilson has the rndst implicit confidence in Mr. Hyde an'd it was asserted that both of these were completely fooled by some of their subordiates. In the meantime Edwin S. Holmes, assistant statistt outside of the breastworks. His name has not been mentioned In connection with the case for several days. The government sleuths have evidently struck a new lead or several of them, as it was the intention of Mr. Wilson to make public the report this week. Whether Mr. Cheatham's arrival and hasty departure has nothing to do with prolonging, the inquiry can not bo learned. He has been in constant touci with Secretary Wilson ever since he filed his charges, and has taken an I active part in the work of investigation. 'Mr. Cheatham will return in the lat,ter part of the week. SECRETARY HAY IS ILLItENSION IS RELAXED Attack Similar to One Four Years Ago . - . Two Physicians From- Boston Reached Him at Summer Home by Special Train Bulletin Says He Will Be Out in a Few Days Newbury, N. H., June 26. The Hon. John Hay, secretary of state, is con- i lined to his bed at his summer home near Lake Sunahpee, and "while mem bers of the family say there is no oc casion for worry, the distinguished statesman's condition was such last night that two Boston physicians were telegraphed for and came here on a special train. The Hay summer residence, which ts about two miles from Newbury sta tion is called "The Fells," It was opened last week. Mrs. Hay arrived Friday, and on Saturday niight the sec retary arrived from Washington. The journey from Washington to New York proved too wearing on the secre tary's strength. During the trip he be came troubled with a bad cold, which resulted in an attack of uraemia. Mr. Hay suffered greatly during Sunday and Mrs. Hay summoned Dr. J. Cain of New York, who remained with the sick man throughout Sunday. Dr. Cain" sa:d taht he found Mr. Hay suf fering from retention of the urine, from which he suffered four years ago. The secretary did not seem to respond to the treatment, and Mrs. Hay then decided to telegraph to Boston for ad ditional physicians. Doctors Charle? li. Scudder and Frederick T. Murphy were notified and arrangements were at once made to have a special train. - The Boston and Maine Railroad cleared its tracks from Concord to Bos ton and the special train made ' fast time. The physicians completed their journey in a launch and were soon at the bedside of the secretary. A com plete examination was made, and al though it was seen that the secretary's condition was-extremely painful, if not serious, for the, time at least it was decided that an operation would not be necessary and that Mr. Hay would un doubtedly show improvement by the adoption of heroic medical methods. This diagnosis of the ease proved to be correct. Mr. Hay responded slowly' but steadily to the treatment, and by morn ing had regained much of his old strength. On account of the settling of the cold in his organs, however, the physicians ruled that the patient should remain in bed a few days. Dr. Scudder gave out this bulletin this morning: "Mr. Hay is suffering from the effects of a chill contracted on the journey from Washington. The attack is similar to the one he had four years ago. This morning Mr. Hay is resting comfortably and expects to be about in a few days. No further bulletins will be issued." It was announced tonight that the secretary was resting quietly. Washington, June 26. While Wash ton is .almost entirely without private information as to Mr. "Hay's condition there is a disposition in official circles to regard his illness as of a grave na ture. The only personal message that has come from anybody near Mr. Hay was received at the state department today from Mrs. Hay. who is with her husband at their summer home on Lake Sunahpee. She said that Mr. Hay had had a recurrence of the ill ness from which he suffered four years ago, and that his condition was not "exceptionally 'serious." In the opin ion of Mr. Hay's friends in Washing ton this message indicates that the reports of his illness have not been ex aggerated. It is too early yet to determine. yet whether Mr. Hay's illness is serious enough to require his retirement from tho cabinet. President Roosevelt, be fore Mr. 'Hay's return, had made up his mind that his secretary of state should not be bothered with official cares untid his return to Washington in the fall, and it is supposed that Mr, Hay went from here with that under standing. v McComas Appointed Judge ; Washington, June 26. The president today announced the appointment of Louis E. McComas of Maryland to be associate justice of the court of appeals for the District of Columbia to suc ceed Judge Martin F. Morris, resigned It was announced some weeks ago that ex-Senator McComas would be ' ap pointed to the bench as soon as Judge Morris should resign. He resigned his judicial office in the District to become a candidate for senator against Arthur P. Gorman and was elected. His sen ate term expired on March 4 last. Gov. Douglas 111 Boston, June 26 Governor William L. Dougless is ill at his home in Brockton. He has already : notified Bishop Lawrence that he will be un able to keep his engagement to break fast with the president tomorrow, and his visit to Harvard's commencement, while not definitely abandoned, is un certain. The governor is suffering from a severe cold which is affecting the brnchial tubes and is accom panied by fever. German Papers Have Moder ated Their -Reply . Germany's Reply' to France Is Be lieved to Be Polite an Even FriendlyAn Early Settlement Is Expected at Washington Berlin, June 26. While there is no in dication that Germany has receded from " her attitude regarding Morocco there is undeniably a relaxation in the recent tension. The semi-official news papers, which were lately aggressive and even threatening towards France, have moderated their tone, some as serting that Germany is actually ex ceedingly anxious for a friendly settle ment. The relations between Chancel- cellor von Buelow and M.Bibourd. the . French ambassador, are again declared to be most amiable. It would seem, indeed, that there has been an order given form the highest source to take a more conciliatory tone to allay the general . uneasiness and prevent a premature explosion. All inquiries regarding the contents of Germany's reply to France have failed to draw out any positive infor mation, but there is every indication that the note will do little if anything to effect a settlement.. Those having access to the best sources of informa- tion concur in the belief that it will be ' found to be studiously polite, even ! friendly, in its wording, but still will i virtually amount to the assertion that Germany can do nothing until France announces ., her decision regarding a ' conference and that Germany can not gestion.

The aged Baron Kardoff, leader of the Free Conservatives in the Reichstag, writes strongly urging a pa cific policy, saying that Morocco is not worth quarreling aboutv He hopes that Prince von Buelow will convince France that Germany does not want a quarrel. tDr. Darth, th radical leader, declares tnat the mass or the German people would regard warxver such a subject a crime. He advocates a loyal, sincere entente not only between France and Germany, but between France, Germany and Great Britain. Washington, June 26.
