By Telegraph to tbe Press-Visitor. Washington, Nov. 6. At the white house today everything is peaceful and no indications of tbe war scarce of the past few days has taken possession of the always conservative members of the cabinet and of the administration generally. The affairs between the United States and Spain are shaping them selves or the Spanish government is forcing tbera to a point were it seems likely that this country will be com pelletl to announce its exact attitude toward Spain and the patriots strug gling for tbe freedom of Cuba. Premier Sagasta's answer to the offer of this government made through Minister Woodruff of our kindly offers to aid in bringing about a settlement in Cuba says in effect that Spaiu is much obliged, but will attend to her own affairs in her own way. The uote from Spain accuses the Uuited States of aiding and abetting the Cuban cause. It then follows the proclamation of the right to search American ves sels for contrabands of war. The administration has already indicat ed that it will not permit American vessels to be searched. The presi dent will refer the matter to con gress where there will be no dawdl ing or mincing of words. Meantime both countries are preparing for ac tion. General Alger has already begun preparations for the enlist ment of one hundred artillerymen for the coast defense service. Pythian Day at Winston. WiNijToif, N. C, Nov. 5.

"He that hath i.o forgiving spirit had better not burn the bridges be hind him, as the time may come when he may want to retreat. " Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds; all they have had, all they have now, and all they ex pect to have. The '. jvereign Grand Lodge at its recent session was composed of 42 lawyers, 10 physicians, 21 merchants, 7 bankers, -i clergymen, 13 editors and printers, and two or more far mers, builders mechanics, black smiths, painters, and almost every trade and profession. Fraternal societies today consti tute a mighty influence in prevect- ing pauperism, says the Rainbow. They have solved the difficult pro blem of giving aid without giving charity. They have provided a way by which the man in want can re ceive help without losing bis respect and sinking into tbe humble place of a pauper. The state owes a debt of gratitude for their work in this re spect and every community where one exists is under obligations to it for the distress it has relieved through its operations, and which but for it would have added to the public burdens. " The Golden Rod makes the follow ing sensible remarks which we most cordially endorse: "Have you done your duty toward j our lodge ? Have you been as careful in performing your duty as you expect your lodge to be in performing its duty toward your loved ones when you have passed to your final account? Seri iously ask yourself this question and let your conscience answer. If you have been careless, iudifferent and negligent ask yourself what would become of your lodge, your jurisdic tion and the order if all other mem bers should show like indifference." There is a sacred precinct in all fraternities into which the eye of the world may not look. The curse of all the world, and the destruction of all happiness and harmony is the parading of family quarrels in pub lie. No story of a difference between brothers and sisters, fathers and children was ever correctly told. The plain, unvarnished truth never appears. As the family circle should be sacredly protected from the cur ious gaze of those who would destroy by innuendo and slander, so the Lodge should keep within its own secret and sacred home, the troubles that may arise, aud he forgets his fraternity and his duty to his fellows who parades it before the eyes of the unthinking multitude. Mrs Chus Baskervilie and little son arrived in the city this morning from Chapel Hill. Mr J B Ilussey left for Marshall this evening, where he goes to see Senator Pritcbard Dr Michael Hoke who has been in the city for several days, returned to Baltimore, Md., this morning.
