ti" : 7 7 ', THE PRESS- VI SITOR. NUMBER 8523 RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH U) IK'8 $4.00 PER YEAR ODD FELLOWS' COLUMN. What This Grand Order Is Doing in North Carolina. On the evening of March 15th Grand Representative Lumsden organised at Rocky Mount, N. C. Esther Lodge with the following officers: Noble Grand Mrs, F. J. Saunders; Vice-Grand. MIbs Nora Robblns; Secretary, Mrs. J. O. Steptoe; Treasurer, Mrs. Moulton. The new lodge is composed of a bright and interesting membership and Represen tative Lumsden was much pleased with the cordial manner In which he was re ceived. Oeraeoke, N. C. March 9. 1S98. To the Odd Fellows Column readers: Where am I? Oeraeoke. No more land on the north and east within many hundred miles. Not much In sight In any other direction. Look on the map and you find Oeraeoke on a little strip between Pamlico Sound and the At lantic. Almost tide swept and wind bleak, but a pretty good spot after all. It might be expected that I being a crank and knowing nothing else, would simply tell the readers of this column what I see and do among the Odd Fel lows, but somehow when T get down In this section a new Inspiration comes over me nnd I write somewhat differ ently. On Christmas day In 1892, I think It was, the News and Observer con tained an article entitled. "A Visit to Roanoke Island," that was Inspired over there, not very far from this. In coming down here I stopped In Newbern and visited Euraka Lodge, but I am not going to tell anything about that. On the next day, promptly at twelve, so the agent said. I was to leave on the elegant Steamer Newbern for this place. Of course the steamer left on time. only. I looked at my watch after we cut loose to start and found the hand.s indicating 2:15 p. m. The time to reach here was 8 p. m., but we concluded it might not be In keep ing with genteel steamboat etiquette to make up so much time and we con cluded to make it 10:30 p. m., and we did. But coming down I pulled a conver sation out of what was known in Con federate days as a "galvanised Yan kee." He was a Michigander so thor oughly southernized that he will never go hack. We were not long In finding out that we were kinfolks although we were not expecting it. not even look ing for each other. He Is a Delaware Odd Fellow and has migrated consid erably since leaving home. His name is Albee, not the same as our friend Albea, but bee. and you could tell by his looks as well as his conversation that he was no kin to him. He got off the steamer at a new station called Oriental, which In former days was known as Smith's Creek, about the twenty-fourth place in the State by that name. He told me In parting that as soon as the town grew sufficiently, and could afford to have a hall fit to meet, he would get up a petition for a lodge, provided he remained there that long. Judging from his past his tory I should suppose the prospect for a lodge at Oriental Is exceedingly re mote. I also fell in with an elegant old gen tleman who Is a light house keeper at Nor-west point. In Pamlico Sound. He lives seven miles from land with his family. Think of It ye land lubbers. He has been twenty three years on the Sound in his present business. He told me that when he wanted fresh fish for breakfast he got up. started a fire in the stove, put on the tea-kle. that Is sailor for tea-bettle, and threw out his hooks, and long before the water got hot in the "tea-kle." that is sailor for teakettle, and thew out his hooks, and long before the water got hot In the "tea-kle" he had plenty of fish ready. They seemed to be always lay ing around waiting for him, he said. He told me about the ducks, geese and other fowl that frequently in the night time could strike the light house in their flight and fall on the veranda dead. He has game for his family often in that way. But he told of some of his experiences in storms that made me shudder. 1 will M the reader off without telling that. As we came down the sound the Captain of the Bteamer and two of Ills crew formed a quartette in the muln saloon, and with the ac compalnent of a guitar, delighted the passengers for one hour or more with vocal music. It certainly was enjoyable as well as a check to the monotony of steamer travel. Well, after so long we arrived at what? I thought you said Oeraeoke. Well this Is the place. What are you giving us'.' This is no landing. There is nothing here but on old Barge. Oh, well this Is as near Oeraeoke as we can get. You don't pretend to tell me that you are going to put me off here? Oh, yes; you can go ashore the first sail boat comes out. How far is It? Oh, only three miles. Say, there Is no sail boat here tonight and what am I to do? Stay aboard the Barge. And after crawling on hands and ki. es for some time I got Into old Critter. My, she Is much bigger than she looks. Way back toward the stern I found some pretty fair bunks and a sort of office and liv ing apartments, and I suddenly came upon a cradle. A greater surprise never struck this humble scribe than when I stumbled upon this piece of furniture and I really thought when I first dis covered It that it waa occupied, but I learned afterward that mother and baby had. the day before, gone ashore to visit friends. Yes, slree. Aboard of ' that old barge lives the agent and hia wife and child with a hired -man, and that old hulk, lying out three miles from land is the freight and passenger station of the Old Dominion Steamship Company for Oeraeoke. Save the mark! Well. I took a bunk, hard as It waa and slept the sleep of the Just, or a . tired man, whichever you like. At sun rise the next morning I saw In the distance toward shore a little sail. It came dangling o'er the billows like a thine of life and Anally ran alongside the station. I was glad to get on board and start for shore although ffot well sprinkled by the spray as : it. dashed o'er the gunwales of the boat when It truck the heavy waves. Good-by. More sometime!- ' S. H. WOODSLU EAGERLY AWAITED All Holding Their Breath for the Report. THE PRESIDENT IS FIRM A Great Victory f .r the Cubans Reported Seamen arc Scarce Secretary Gage ivoea not Kxptct Mar Naval ' Plans. By Telegraph to The Press-Visitor. Washington, March 19. President McKinley, members of thecabinet, Con gressmen, all officials In Washington and the public generally are eagerly and anxiously awaiting the report of the Naval Board of Inquiry which will set forth the cause of the explosion that wrecked the Maine, and perhaps fix the guilt or innocence of the Spanish peo ple. Several days the statement has been persistently made that the report or a portion of it will be in the hunds of the President today. Secretary Long declares it Is not here. All that can be learned Is that the administration ex pects to have it In the course of a few days. This may be true but there is good reason to believe that the Presi dent will know what the verdict Is sooner than "In the course of a few days." The message from the Presi dent Is not likely to go to Congress until the last of the week. Meantime Congress Is very restive. The reports that the administration will favor a further trial of autonomy In Cuba meet with indignation. CUBAN VICTORY. Cubans Think They Can Bring Spain to Terms. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Key West, March 19. -It is reported that General flarcia has captured the Spanish General Pando. The wildest excitement reigns. The Cubans think that they will bring Spain to terms. PLANS MAPPED.

HAliK'S ASSERTION By Telegraph to The Press-Visitor. Cleveland, March 1!) Secretary Gage frankly declared today that he does not believe present complications with Spain will lead to war. He said "Peo ple are getting used to this war talk and understand it means little nr noth ing. There is a possibility of nr and If it conies the financial resources of the government are equal to any emergen cy which may confront us. The Presi dent will doubtless ask for and Ret any appropriation wanted. Our credit abroad Is the best. Business interests have not been affected by the possibil ities of war." SEAMEN SCARCE.

LEASE Negotiations for Froposerf Lease Still in Cou sideia'cu THICC OVER NOR WOHKIMi However, rapt Duv lcnlcs ihut the Greensboro Meet ng Was h , p pointmcnt Newbern I aois the Lease Interesting m Mo ments. Captain W. H. Day said today that his meeting President Spencer and Col. A. B. Andrews in Greensboro Thursday was not by appointment as has been stated but that he went to Gr- eiis boro on other business and met them by accident. Furthermore he wan in no conference with them but merely met them in a social way. I tow ever, Col. Olds sends out a v-ty interesting story which Is giwn sub stantially below. 'President Spencer and Vice-Presi dent Andrews, of the Southern Railway and Capt. W. H. Day, attoniej for Governor Russell, had a very important conference at Greensboro yesterday, which occupied the entire day. Spen cer and Andrews are anxious t carry out the entire plan, just as it came from Governor Russell, for the lease of Ibe Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road. They object to that part of the Governor's proposed letter wlm h is a departure from the original tentative proposition. They have agreed that the Governor shall write a letter, which they think covers every purpose of the Governor, but which dos not tiagnrt- ly Inject the raihoad matter into p li lies. Spencer and Andrews will .in- sent that the Governor writes a 1 i r ,t v hich be w ill state that he p; . i ii d that the Legislatuie sh.dl -i -I with 1ln so matters, but that tm , ' beneficial interests involved Slate he advised the railroad .! uiy sioners tip rescind the order i : I i passenger lares and take no t'i; ,h.-r steps in that matter until the n vi f the L gislatlre. If you.- corre spondent is correctly informed, and be is confident that he is, there isno reason why Governor Russell should ii"t ;i- cede to this request, and thus end t la annoying litigation, because, set ih nieiil or no settlement, the Legislature has power to act. My informant is a gen tleman who was in Greensboro yes terday. "Now, as to the matters In question. Trey are throe in number; 1. The to - paL-e ,if Ctivei nor Russell's tight v-'ainM the ! ase. and the payments of the fees of his ;Ut"rns by the South- i. -2. The lease by the Southern for lit years the Atlantic and North Car- tiina Kailn.ad. at per cent, on the capital stork and on the bonded debt. and also tin- complete equipment, main- tei ance and operation of (hat road by Southern. :!. The revocation of the order reducing pas. eiur r fares to 2 and ; cents per mile. A Stale otiinul sas Goernor Rus sell will pay no more attorney's fees n the anii-Iea'-e ficht. The facts are n shape for an injunction to restrain the onforceiiM-nt of the reduced rates, a gap Is left open by the failure of the railroad commission to perfect the record in the matter of the rate reduc tion. The voting down of Pearson's "judgments" yesterday left the gap open, itotli iv arson ati.i a unveil Know that a well-known Jude drew these judgments. The vote of Caldwell liust them knoeks them out of court. It is contended that it makes the act of the commission arbitrary; that the comiuissionei s case will in a test or tne courts hold water no better than a sieve and that Governor Russell knows this. 'perhaps not knowing of yesterday's conference at Greensboro, Father Woitb said today that he thought the deal for the lease of the Atlantic and North Carolina was "all off." Carl Dun can said he so thought, because he didn't believe the Southern wanted the naked Atlantic and North Carolina rail road. Rut the Governor is working, and so are his attorneys. It is a very in teresting case. A "lightning change ar tist" could hardly improve upon it. The anti-Southern newspapers are in a state of rae at the Governor, and It is cbriped by the "dickey birds' that he is giving such papers the marble hea rt." UNAUTHORIZED. The people of Newbern seem to be heartily in favor of the lease and are indignant that two of thedirectors went before the Governor and opposed to lease. The Newbern Journal says: "In reply to the statement that the A. and N. C. board of directors au thorized Messrs. Mewborne and Person to visit Governor Russell, the Journal called upon Mr. Thomas Daniels, and in answer to the question of these di rectors being sent to Raleigh for the purpose stated, Mr. Daniels, said " 'I was surprised to read of the visit of directors Mewborne and Person to Raleigh for the purpose of opposing any lease, and more surprised to read that they had been appointed by the bor.rd of directors uf the road, and sent on such an errand. 1 have attended all meetings of the directors, and never was such a subject mentioned, much less was any committee appointed to see the Governor. Being a director, representing the private stockholders of the A. and N. C. of course the State directors of the road may have h?ld a meeting nd taken action among themselves. I only know at no general meeting was such action taken." "When asked concerning the propos ed lease of the A. and N. C. road, Mr. Daniels, said: " 'I am in favor of the lease, and think 22 per cent a good rate for the stockholders to receive. 1 would be per fectly satistied with it myself. Just where Mr. Person or Mr. Mewborne can figure four per cent, or a higher rate. I cannot Imagine. At the last meeting of the board, acting President Dill read a report of the road's receipts and his bursements during the last six months, and the difference was only about $;,0(0 in favor of the road. This hardly looks like a four per cent dividend. Mr. Han cock said not very long ago that the mad would not pay any dividend this year. "Therefoie it may be asked, who au thorized Messrs. Mewborne and Pear son to wait on the Governor, and were they not really a self constituted dele gation, impelled to protest against the lease of tin- A. and N. C. on account of pel f -nal reasons? "A full answer to this would be of immense interest." MR. FA N.N DENIES. He Issues a Card Stating That lie was Not Rudely Treated. A gentleman, who is not inieresled in the matter, today se-n us the follow mg statement from .Mr. Faun in regnul to an account published saying that he was rudely treated when he visited the work-house and asked to see his son. He requested that the statement lie published and says it was voluntari ly given him by Mr. Fann. Here is the ai d vcrbatum : "Raleigh. N. C. March 19. JN!S. "My attention having been called to an article which is going the rounds in the papers relative to my having been refused to see my boy, who is detained in the Wake county wmk house, I want to say that I have not the least com plaint to make against Superintendent Ray or any of his subs in this matter. I only chanced to rail at a time, when it was not admissible that 1 should be allowed to go in and 1 was politely and respectfully treated; and 1 have not the least ill feelings towards any one on account of the refusal, and any asser tions by any one to the contrary are untrue. I still have the best of feelings for the officers and can only say that I have no cause to say they did not do their duty. This is unsolicited on the pa 1 1 of the authorities. "W. E. FANN."

The facts of his tory, however, go to show that declara tions of war are in no way essential preliminaries. Nations that find them selves in belligerent mood are quite prone to forget formalities, and. hav ing first gone to war. they formally de clare it afterward, or, as In many cases on record, omit the declaratory busi ness altogether Washington Star.

The team is in good trim, and is con sidered the best in the history of the college, but is sadly In need of grounds where match games might be played. Speaking of the disadvantages ath letics encounter at the college, Man ager Squires said: "The grounds we have for practice are on city park properly, where we can charge no gate receipts, hence it is a hard task to keep up athletic in terest. However, the team manage ment will be glad to arrange games here if the citizens of Raleigh, who en Joy an occasional ball game, would aid the students in making guarantees for such games, and if they will aid us we will give them some good ball games.
