THE TH ' Second EtIItloii lit in Chilled by Cold Weather or Some Other Influence. HIICH IN PROCEEDINGS EXPLAINED ATTORNEY-GENERAL POSITIVELY UEUSES TO RECOMMEND PURNELL. Pritchard Thinks Purnell Will be Appointed John A. Alerritt of New York to Succeed Kerr Xraige Statesville Postmaster Appointed. t(ial to The Tribune. Washington, IX C, April 20. The urn rature here is at the freezing ,,,,;(. and this or' some other refriger ,,:,' influence has chilled the judicial .!t;m tree. The plum may not fall so , a.i!y or so plump in the direction sug in last night's' Tribune special. J ndouhtedly Mr. Purnell has the sym p.itliy of the President and the support .f Senator. Pritchard. Ordinarily, that 'means' appointment, but the lion in i'urneU s path Is the Attorney-General. Hp was very positive in his statement to Senator Pritchard today that he would not recommend Purnell's ap pointment, and that if it was made by the President it would be done against his protest. The disagreement between i he President and the Attorney-General is the cause '.of the delay-in this ap pointment. They both agree that a resident of the district should receive the appointment, and they are trying to ?et together on the man. Speaking of the matter today. Senator Pritchard said the- chances altogether favored Purnell's appointment; If the situation changes before midnight The -Tribunq will be advised.- " Just before midnight. Judge Robin son, speaking of the impending judi cial crisis, said: "Just tell them that you saw me." The appointment may lie made tomorrow. When 'The Tribune representative, called on Mr. purnell at 11 o'clock he was sleeping the sleep of the righteous and in blissful ignorance 'of tomorrow's events. Total number of fourth-class post masters appointed today were 93, 39 oil which were to fill vacancies caused by death and resignations, and 50 having been removed at the expiration of four years' service. A batch of North Caro lina appointments are expected tomor row. ; . - . - :. - The arrivals today were; Ex-Judge Allen, of Gol-dsboro, John M. -Moody and Chairman Pass, of Person county. Col." A. B. Andrews. Hon. John S. lo-nderson. E. D. Steele, High Point. 10. B. Smith. Greensboro: W. D. Con nor, Wilmington: iH., E. Kerr, Jr. Charlotte. .-"'. John W. C. Long was appointed postmaster at Statesville today. He is a prominent, active and influential young Iredell county Republican. The President. 'has at last found a num- for third' assistant postmaster general who will stick. John A. Merritt, 't' New York, will succeed Col. Kerr Craie:. of North Carolina. ' In this 'raise, of North Carolina. In thi able man. Col. Craige returns to? his home in Salisbury and will resume the l iaetice of law. Th application ;of James A. Cheek for. collector "of the Eastern district was til d today. , ' J. B. H. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY AT BURLINGTON Nominated D. F-Morrow for Mayor A Citi zen's Ticket Proposed. . pevial to The Tribune. r.urlington. N. C., April 20. Accord ing'.'to a previous announcement, the rvni.icrats met in the' Mayor's office ."last night and nominated D. F. Morrow for Mayor, W. C. Dameron for police, iind Janles Long for . j Street Commis sioner. A few days ago I stated that "''il'Mi'Ucal parlies cut but little sway" in our town elections, but since then it eems that things have changed, and a itizen's meeting ha been - called, to nut at: the Mayor's office Thursday night, for the purpose of nominating oflieers in opposition to those nomina ted by the Democratic convention. So the tight is on in full blast, and no stone viH be left unturned: Several of our young people went out to a pic-nic at Big Falls -yesterday ovening and reported a pleasant time. The election to be held in the" south ern part of this (Alamance) county, to decide where the disputed territory, sometimes called "Oklahoma" Territo ry, properly belongs' to Alamance or to Chatham county, comes off in a- few days, and from what we can learn wet think the election will result in Ala mance gaining the victory. MR. CHARLES PRICE'S CANDIDACY. Claims Not to be a Candidate lor the East ern Judgeship. Special to The Tribune. ! Salisbury. N. C, April 20. There seems to be some misapprehension about Mr. Charles Price's candidacy for the. Eastern judgeship. As far as he is concerned, so a close acquaintance informed a Tribune representative to day, Mr. Price has made1 no "canvass." nor is theie any "candidacy" on his part. Mr, Price does not believe in lawjers "scrambling" for judgeships. He considers it highly unprofessional. , Despite what the gentieman's friend told The Tribune man, it is a well known fact that Mr. Price is highly en dorsed, and news has been received from Washington and it is thought in Salisbury to be true, that Mr. Price stands surer of gejtting the nomination than any man. J Otht-r wrong information is, Mr. Price's name frequently .figures in the papers as being in Washington. In fact he has been in Washington only once since the present administration-came in power, and that on other business, far removed from the judgeship. The popular citizen of Salisbury re mains at home attending to the legal business that demands his attention. If he is nominated as Vjudge of the Eastern circuit, as . Salisbury people think he will be, he can feel that it is the honor seeking the man. CITY CLERK RICE'S BOND REFUSED BY BOARD OF AUDIT. Evidently a Fight Between Rice and Gov. Russell The Mayoralty Cases Grand Council Royal Arcanum. Wilmington, N. C April 20. The board of audit and finance today re fused the bond of FV-'B. Rice as city clerk and treasurer-. The matter will go before the board of aldermen again, and promises to be a sharp fight, as the Rice men may break the quorum when the matter comes up. 'This .is a fight between Rice, and Russell with odds favoring the former. The "Mayoralty" cases are still be ing argued before Judge Mclver in the Superior Court. A decision may not be reached before Friday. To a man up a tree it looks as if the present incum bent (Wright) may be ousted by tha new law being found unconstitutional. Delegates to the Grand Council of the Royal Arcanum, to be held here to morrow and Thursday, are arriving. Messrs. Lee, Harris, Kendrick anr! Powell, of Raleigh, are here right-side up. ' II. W. P. PASSED ONE ORDEAL. Dingley Bill Now Goes to Full Senate Fi nance Committee. Washington, D. C, April 20. The Dingley tariff bill has passed the ordeal of the Republican members of the Sen ate finance committee and will now be foi'mally considered by the full com mittee. The Republican members of the committee do not entirely a.gree on the sugar, lead, ore and wool schedules. Some Senators have manifested a dis position to hold out persistently for certain modifications of the schedules referring to these and other articles. The members of the committee, while not indicating their own position or that of the committee, have thought it well to talk on these matters with the complaining, and are anxious to re port a bill that will command the unit ed support of the Republican party and that will be sure to become a law, They think they will succeed. It is as serted that many reductions have been made from beginning to the end of the bill. The House rates .would be practi cally prohibitive. The committee has practically agreed, it is said, upon a modification of the retroactive clause of the bill. The wool growers want a complete change of classification and still insist that no wools shall be ad mitted for less than S cents a pound. Senator Aldrich, the Republican leader in the Senate, speaking of the "bill to night, expressed the opinion that there would be no serious Republican oppo sition to it and that the bill would pass without protracted debate. , J.

RE- Mason Wants to Cut off Long-Winded Speeches Allen Will Obstruct Any Bill Providing for Involun tary Bankruptcy. Washington. April 20. In the Senate today a resolution by Mr. Hoar was agreed to requesting the Secretary of State for comprehensive information as to the machinery of government ol all foreign nations with which we have diplomatic relations, the taxes or ex cises and methods of collection. Imports and exports, methods of aiding the merchant marine, discriminations against American merchant vessels, public indebtedness, etc. Another resolution by Mr. Cullom, ot Illinois', requests the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to the ef fect of the present internal revenue tax on the honest 'production of distilled spirits, to what extent illicit distilla tion has, occurred, and all further in formation that will aid in protecting the government against frauds. In ifhis connection Mr. Cullom stated that he understood one-third of the high wines produced in this country came fronv illicit distillation. Mr. Hoar wanted the resolution broadened so as to giv-e information on alcohol -used in the arts. He said it would be of great importance in th consideration of the tariff bill, and in this connection he stated that he would propose an amendment to the tariff bill exempting from tax alcohol used in the arts. The , resolution finally went over. - Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, then calico., up the resolution declaring-that a state of war exists in Cuba. There was no objection, and as no Senator rose to speak on the resolution, Mr. Morgan asked that the Senate proceed to a yea and nay vote on its adoption. Mr. "While, of California, expressed , surprise at this move for an imme 'diate vote, and suggested the absenc of a quorum. The call disclosed , the presence of fifty-five Senators, an am ple quorum. .- Mr. Hoar 'thereupon called attention to the absence of Mr. Hale, of Maine, as one of the committee accompanying the remains of the late Representative Milliken to Maine. -Mr. Hale had given much attention to this subject and de sired to be heard. For this reason Mr. Hoar asked that the resolution go over for one week. J "' Mr. Chandler, of Ne'w Hampshire, added that Mr. Hale had stated to him that there would be no opposition to fixing a time for a vote after reason able debate, but that' he did not' want the time fixed during his absence. Mr. Morgan said he would, of course, yield to such an appeal. But the ter rible and abominable situation in Cuba could not be allowed to go on much longer. He 4iad just listened to the testimony of a witness before the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, which presented a shocking .condition of af fairs in Pinar del Rio. It was morally impossible that the people of the United States should close their eyes to these horrors much longer. We are aroused over Greece and Crete and Ar menia, but the very stench of these horrors is under our ; nostrils. Ht wanted Americans protected and scenes worse than those in, the bloody days of the Netherlands brought ;to an end. If the Senate passed this resolu tion, as he believed it would, human lives would be saved'. Mr. Mason, of Illinois, asked why. a day could not be fixed for a final vott dn the Cuban resolution.. ' . Mr. Morgan said he .would not ask this during the absence of Mr. Hale. The Cuban resolution then went over. Mr. Mason offered a resolution di recting the Committee on Rules to re port a rule providing for a limitation of debate and for ordering the pre vious question. The resolution went over. - , ' : The agricultural appropriation bill was then taken up and passed withoux amendment. At 1:40 p. m. th? Senate went into executive session. At 2 o'clock the Senate resumed leg islative session, and the bankruptcy bill was formally laid before the Sen ate. In the course of rthe debate Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, announced that he would obstruct in every way possible any bankruptcy bill which included invol untary bankruptcy. Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, amended his substitute so as to overcome criti cisms heretofore made. Mr. Morgan said that he would seek to secure a test vote on the pending Nelson substitute by moving at 4 p. m. tomorrow to lay "(he substitute on the table. - Mr: Bacon (Dem., Ga.) submitted numerous amendments modifying the stringency of the original bill as ap plicable ' to debtors. The Senate then adjourned. Cotton Mill Falls. Charlotte, N. C. April 20 The Globe cotton mill, 7,0j0 spindles, has gone into the hands of a receiver. The paid-ur capital is 75,O0O. The bonded indebt edness is $00,000. On April 10 the mill defaulted in the payment of interest on the bonded indebtedness and short lv after shut down with the announce ment that the cause was an overstock of products (colored goods and ging Jiams) and dullness of the market. Th assets of the company are nearly $200,000. and liabilities about $120,000. LI6HTNING CALCULATOR. A Negro With a Wondetful Gift as a Mathe matician. Special to The Tribune. New London, N. C, April .20. John Mauney, a negro man living here, is certainly a curiosity in his way. He is alout thirty years old, and looks and acts as other negroes, but where John, or Johnson, as he calls himself, differs from other men. is his ability to rap idly calculate. He says he has been ti school only about one year, and can not figure out a problem on paper. ."His work Is all head work. Numerous tests have been given him. and he an swers quickly and accurately. For in stance, he is asked if one yard of cloth costs 7 1-6 cents, what will 4 7-8 yards cost? His answer is given before the questioner can put the figures down on paper to verify his calculations. He Avas asked how many crossties are there from here to Salisbury 240 miles one laid every two feet. His answer was quicker than I could write this sentence, and accurate, too. He is apt on catching propositions also,, such as if a cat and a half catch a rat and a half . in a minute and a half, how long will it take 1C0 cats to catch 100 rats. John claims that his ability to cal culate is a Vgift." It may be. He is certainly a freak in that line. WAKE FOREST BALL TOSSERS. Had a Successful Southern Brevities. Tour Local Special Correspondence to The Tribune. Wake Forest, N. C, April m 20. The base ball team played the University of Georgia Saturday in Athens, Ga.. and won in a hotly contested ten-inning game by a score of 14 to 11. Edwards pitched the first seven innings for our boys, and Williams the last three. Georgia, fearful of defeat, in the eighth inning changed an impartial umpire, who had given entire satisfaction in his decisions, for a partial one, but yet they lost. The game was won by a home run knocked by Edwards, which brought Gwathney and Iloneycutt home. Only a few days beore this game Georgia shut Lehigh out by a score of 4 to 0, and our boys believe if they could get another game with Lehigh they -would show them their I mettle and reverse the score at Greens .boro, which was against us 3 to 1. - iTuesday our team played the Uni versity of South Carolina and won by a score of 25 to 2. The South Carolina team wasn't "in it" during' any part oi the5 game. Their pitchers were batted all over the field. Today the boys. play the Y. M. C. A team of-Charlotte, and -are confident of victory. . , Alfter this game they will .likelj' play th- University of Georgia another game in Atlanta. . Sunday morning and evening Presl dent Boone, of the Baptist Orphanage, filled the pulpit of Dr. Gwathney, and preached tvo very acceptable sermons. He incidentally mentioned the great work of the Orphanage, its- need of funds to buy furniture, etc- Several picnic and fishing expeditions took a day's outing yesterday, and re: port great times. The favorite place for Easter picnic excursions is th. falls of the Neuse. - The Wake Forest and Franklinton colored base ball team nines Splayed a' game of ball here yesterday. The home team won by a score of 22 to 13. W. CECIL COHEN Wants to Be Consul-General to Cairo, Egypt. f Washington, D. C, April 20. Mr. s. c:. W. Cecil Cohen, of Charleston, is here pushing his application for United States Consul-General at Cairo Egypt, and of course very natur ally feels confident of success, he is one; of those kind of men who never look despondent, and always has a pleasant word or joke for- every one It is said that he is well liked by those who have met him' here, and that he is well endorsed by both factions of the Republican party of . his State, besides a large endorsement from other States. Mr. Cohen, in February, 1896. organ ized the Progressive Republican Club at Charleston. S. C., and has succeeded in getting many Democrats 1 come out for the Republican cause. -The seeds thai he has sown in this direction are sue to hear fruit. Mr, Cohen is an indefatigable worker, and while' he merits the rec ognition sought, the party interest? would be greatly strengthened should he remain in his State: and while not wishing him defeat in his aspirations we trust that the prty leaders at the -National Carital will see the pressing need for such men in the Snrith. and prevail upon him to change his mind and sti'to.the ship now. whn hp'rf o ofo.-.v.pijih so much for his party in his S'ate. Won Fifty Cents, and Got Wet- Special to The Tribune. Norwood, N. C. April 20. Yesterday Norwood had its Easter day picnic, and all the young folks, as well as many of the older ones, enjoyed the day very much. Only one incident occurred, which was unusual. Mr. Ben Blalockr a mer chant here, was wagered fifty cents he would not jump into the millpond with his clothes on. In a spirit , of foolishness he accepted' the wager and jumped. He got wet, got out, got hi? money, arid with the exception of the scare he gave the women and children, everything is all right.

No Great Commander on the Greek Side Enormbus Losses In Battle - War May Close In Ten Days From the Beginning. London. April 20. The Turks are con tent , to hold the enemy on the wingsi The success of this policy will be de cisive of the whole' campaign; it will cut the Greek forces in two ,and open the road for a , victorious march to Athens. The Greek successes at Pre- veza and in Southern Epirus will be of no value unless the Turks are driven back at the vital point, the Thessalian frontier. . Today's news from Milouna, Larlssa and Tyrnao is conflicting, but careful analysis forces the conclusion that the Turks still have the best of it at the most critical spots. Therris no great commander on the Greek side. Two or three mistakes have already been made by Greek officers. It is astonishing that these errors have not dampened the ardor of the 3 reek troops, but tlieir conduct has been magnificent on every occasion. Old war correspondents tele graph that they never ?aw such fight ing. The men on either side seem not to know what fear is. Turkish fatalism and Greek' fury led the opposing ranks several times Sunday and Monday to stand face to face with each other un til both' were mowed down by the mer ciless mutual slaughter One hillside in Milouna Pass was literally covered with dead and dymg Greeks before pos session was yielded to the Turks. The bloody work of Sunday and Monday in Thessaly was so 'terrible that one oi two correspondents estimate the killed and wounded on both side's at 20,000. This is entirely beyond belief, con sidering the number of men engaged but indicates the character of the fight ing. It tends to justify the opinion ex pressed iri' last night's dispatches that the war would be terrific but brief. The opinion obtains in Europe that hostili ties may not extend beyond ten days., ,: Elassona, April 20. At an early hour this morning the Turkish camp was alive-and actively preparing to make a . general advance. The forward movement began at daybreak. During the night the Greeks had established themselves on the last heiglit m-ar the town of Tyrnavo. An order was given for the Turks to attack this position, and the artillery moved up and took good position to assail the Greeks. For a short time a -brisk . firing' was ex changed, but the Greek art niery war speedily put out of action. Athens. April 20. Col. Manos, com mander of the, Greek forces in Epirus, telegraphed the Government that the Turkish 'forces on Sunday, bombarded the military hospital at Arta, thereby yiolating the rules of war,' as the hos pital had the flag of the Red Cross So ciety flying upon, it. Athens, April 20. A dispatch sent from Arta this afternoon states that the Turks today attempted to cross the Archos River at Theotokio, in the face of a heavy rifle and artillery fire. The Moslems were mown down by scores. They could net stand - the slaughtei that was being inflicted Upon them and were compelled to retire. The Greeksar tillery was splendidly handled. Col. Manos Is how advancing into the pro vince of Epirus. London, April 20. A dispatch from Ellasona to the Daily Telegraph dated Monday nighf, states that all the roads converging upon Larissa are crowded with fugitives who are fleeing to that city to escape the advance of the Turks. Athens. April 20.' It is reported here tonight that the Greek, troops have burned the town of Damasi. This place was regarded as an important position by Edhem Pasha." and. Its destruction will be a severe blow to the Turks. Gentry's Sentence Commuted. Harrisburg, Pa., April 20. The Board of Pardons toriight commuted the sen tence of James Rr Gentry, who wai to hang on Thursday for the murder of Madge York, to Imprisonment for life.

( Ills Dave Sutton Lays Trouble Be rote Pritchard Dancy's Please the People, Appointment Will Special Correspondence to The Tribune. Wilmington. April 20. Fine, weather now prevails here. Easter Sunday was glorious In this respect, and the display of dainty feminine headgear on that day was something wonderful to be hold from a masculine point of view. The Easter music In the churches here was of a high order of merit. Thousands attended divine services Sunday. Messrs. Brown & Whittefd, grocers, have dissolved partnership. Mr. D. C. Whitted will continue the business. ' " R. A. Reynolds, a colored physician, was arrested Saturday, charged with attempting to commit rape upon Ma mie Carter, the wife of an itinerant colored doctor. Reynolds gave a $300 bond for his appearance yesterday be fore Justice McGowan. Yesterday the case was continued till Wednesday. It is said the case looks bad for Reynolds. The Grand Council of the Royal Ari canum for the State of North Carol-. Una meets In this city Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Cornelius Harnttt Council. No. 217, of this city, will entertain the fifty-odd delegate with oyster roasts, steamboat- rides and other means of pleasant pa. time. The Hoard of Audit and Finance meets this afternoon and will probably dispose of the matter, concerning the city clerk and treasurer. The result will be watched with considerable In terest by the local politicians. "Our Dave" Sutton was In Washing ton the larger part of last week and the knowing ones say he was telling his troubles to Senator Pritchard dur ing that time. One fact Is patent, and that is that Sutton and the Governor are not as thick as they used to be. Sutton has discovered that he was fooled into beiiev!ng that he cou!d be mayor of the city when the Governor could not even deliver him the city at torneyship. : Your correspondent thought something was wrong whn David subscribed fr.r The Tribune.
