Briggs Will Entef Upon His New Duties About September 1. Sketch of the New Postmaster at Raleigh. (Bv the Associated Press.) Washington, August 16. Willis O. llriggs was today appointed postmastei at Raleigh, N. C, Willis Grandy Briggs, whose ap pointmant by President Roosevelt as postmaster at the North Carolina capital city is announced in (he above Associate Press dispatch, is the first postmaster recommended by Judge Spencer B. Adams sinco his election as state chairman. i ne naime" I nnuimasipr Is the paymaster for all rural free delivery carriers in the state, hence in a measure is the head of the postal system in North Caro lina. The appointee to this important position is a young newspaper man who for the past eight years has been working on dailies and is now city editor of The Raleigh Times. Mr. Briggs comes from a well known family; his forefathers have lived in Raleigh since the foundation of the city. His father, Thos. H. Briggs, is a hardware merchant, treasurer of Wake lorest College, and is interested In many local cor porations. Mr. Briggs graduated from Walrej Forest College In the 1896 class which numbered 82, with high honors. A committee from the fac ulty awarded him the senior oratori cal medal offered by an alumnus, Thomas Dixon, the author and lec turer. He was also first debater from the Euzelian Society and was one of the first commencement day speakers. Although from a democratic fam ily Mr. Briggs aligned himself with the republican party before he be came of age. Ho was strongly op posed to free silver and the theories then advocated by Bryan. He reach y . cd his majority just in time to cast his ballot for McKinley and the re publican candidates In the memor able 1896 campaign. The following winter a republican daily newspaper, The Tribune, was started in Raleigh to aid United States Senator Jeter C. Prltchard in his campaign for re election by the 1897 legislature. Mr. Briggs was induced to resign the position he then held and become city editor of The Tribune although in adopting this course he encoun tered strong oposition from his inti mate friends. The Tribune ceased publication after the adjournment of the legislature, which had triumph antly reelected Senator Prltchard, and Mr. Briggs has since that time been continually employed on Ra leigh newspapers and as correspond ent at the state capital for outside papers. He was city editor of The Morning Post until Jlovember last when it was consolidated with The Raleigh Evening Times and he con tinued In the same capacity on the latter paper. Mr. Briggs has taken much Interest in the study of local history and has embraced his re searches in several interesting con tributions to the press. Mr. Briggs' nswspaper work at the capital has given him a personal acquaintance wth practically every man in public life in North Carolina. No young man in Raleigh, it Is safe to say, has a wider acquaintance in that city and county. He is unmar ried, a prominent factor in the social life of the city, an active member ot the Capital Club and holds member ship In four secret orders. Raleigh's new postmaster has ever been keenly interested in political questions and the career of public) men. He was appointed United States jury commissioner by Judge Thomas R. Purnell and held this po sition for four years until a republi can became clerk of the court when Mr. Briggs resigned since the law requires that the jury commissioner and clerk shall be of opposite politi cal parties. The position of jury commissioner seems to be a mascot. He has been secretary of the repub lican committee in his precinct sev- oral times and was a delegate to the recent state republican convention at Greensboro where he was made secretary of the caucus held by the supporters of Judge Adams for state chairman. The new postmaster for Raleigh, as may be conjectured from this sketch, was strongly backed for the position by political and personal friends. TO JAIL ON CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.

This action came after George W.

The democratic portion of the state ticket is as follows: For governor Ashton C. Shallen berger of Alma. For lieutenant-governor William H. Green of Crclghton. For secretary of state Carl It.

(By the Associated Press.) Danville, 111., Auk. 16. The conven tion of the republicans of the tenth Illinois congressional district was called to order at one o'clock today. The convention renominated the Hon. Jo seph O. Cannon fot' the eighteenth con secutive time, this being his seven teenth nomination by aoclammation. There we.s the greatest enthusiasm, especially over the prospective candi dacy of Mr. Cannon for president. Mr. Cannon had not intended to launch a boom for president at this convention, but the pressure of his supporters was so great as to sweep away his wishes in the matter. Mr. Cannon's supporters In his own district will likely urge the state con vention to make similar endorsement. There seems to be little doubt that this will be done. Mr. Cannon was given a splendid welcome upon the occasion of his ap pearance before the eighteenth repub lican congressional district convention. Mr. Cannon, after the applause bad quieted enough Cm- him to sneak, made Said: Tariff revision in time of prosperity always has, ami always will, halt busi ness activity, production and com merce. The manufacturer will lessen his output, fur he fears to pile up his product unless there is a reasonable certainty of realizing its cost and a fair profit. The farmer halts in mak-I ing Improvements and consumes lesr, because there is a shortened demand for his products. The decrease in the wages of labor alone pending revision will amount to many hundred million dollars. Where there is confidence and prosperity without precedent there would be doubt and destruction of Con fidence. I heartily endorse the platform lately adopted by the republicans of Indiana, which, in substance, says that the republican party will revise the tariff when it will do more good than harm to the great ruass of people. It is vital that the republican party should remain in power for the com ing two years in order that the legis (Continued on Page Two.)

On the question of a menu- I ment to Wirz there was considerable j opposition. The first session-of the day was occupied by the formal op- I eh ing exercises and the proceedings ! then waited upon the report of the I committee on credentials. When this j was presented and adopted the re- j ports of the officers of the organiza tion were submitted. The report of Commander-in-Chief Tanner was of considerable length ' and covered all features of the work ! done by the grand army during last 1 year. No mention was made in the j report of the canteen question, but j considerable space was given to Wirz, , and the recommendation was made j that the grand army enter a dignified ahd emphatic protest against the erection of the monument.

TO RULE THE BALKANS Rivalry Between Greece and Bulprla Becomes Acute The Anti-Greek Movement in Bul garia is Growing Apace mid Out Breaks More Violent Than Any Vet Are lOxpected. (By the Associated Press.) Sofia, Aug. i. The anti-Greek movement in Rouniania and especial ly in Bulgaria is daily assuming greater proportions and threatens to become a serious danger to peace. The Bulgarian government, it ap pears will be forced to take excep tional measures to terminate the dis- turbances, which are due to the anti ureeh ivsuat wita which the entire Population of the principality is im ued.

The Polish revolutionists are especi ally active. There is a veritable reign of terror from the Vistula to the Ger man frontier. Almost fifty cases Of assassination were reported early last night. The Novoo Vremya today heads its list of murders and other crimes "St. Bartholomews' Night in Poland." The resumption of terroristic activ- ity on a large scale renders tne tas'K the government more difficult and rkens the prospects of the present ministry in accomplishing anything in the direction of an amelioration of the situation. While for the moment the campaign of the terrorists is bound to increase the revulsion of the more con servative public opinion against the wild excesses of the extremists, it is at the same time certain to force the gov ernment to redouble the measures of repression which it is claimed will in the end drive public sympathy back to support almost any means of relief. A Retaliatory Step. Some of the dispatches from Poland assert that the outbreak of terrorism is in retaliation of the wholesale arrests and repressions of the governor-gen -en.
