O^OUT QWN SALVAHON President intimates That He )e Heed of Democratic Party and Aimoat Announces For 1916. Indianapolis, Ind.—President Wilson m a Jackson Day speech here votceo what his fearers interpreted as a hint t^at he might be a candidate for the presidency again in 1916 The audience of more than 4,(00 pejpie rose to thtir feet and cheered uni! the President calied for quiet. The President had been discussing the Mexican question. Referring tc his belief that he knew the tempera ment and principles of the American peopie, he added that he wcuid not be fit to stay where he was if he did not understand them. "There may come a time," he said, "when American peopie wii! have to judge whether I know what I am talking about or not." There was a slight pause and then the crowd began cheering. Realizing the construction which had been put on his words, the President heid up his hand for silence and said: "i did not mean to stir up anything That was merely preparatory to say ing that for at least two more years I am free to think I know the Ameri can peopie." Previously the President had at tacked the Republican party, defended the record of his Administration on the Mexican policy, the tariff and cur rency and declared that a careful ex amination of the returns from the elections last November showed that if it hall been a Presidential year a of about 80 in the electoral college. Mr. Wilson gravely spoke warning to Democrats not to break up the solidarity of the party. He declared those who did would gain an unen viable position for themselves. "If a man won't play on a team he must get off the team"' he said and later spoke of himself as the "captain of the Democratic team for the pres ent." The President spoke brteHy of Mex ico. He said the people there are en titled to liberty, "no matter how long they tnke in determining it." Speak ing s!*wiy and carefully, he declared that "so far as my inHuence goes, while 1 am President, no body shall interfere with them." "Have not European Nations taken as long as they wanted, and spilied as .much blood as they pleased to settle fheir own affairs,lee continued, "and shaH we deny the same right to Mex ico? Plo, 1 say. " X BRiTAibiS^SATiSFiED WtTH RATE. House of LorKs Adjourns After Hear ing Govermnent Statements. London.—After a two days' session in which Parliameni\heard speeches from Lord Kitchener, Viscount Hai dane, Lord High Chancellor , the Mar quis of Crewe, Government leader in the House, and Baron Lucas, on be half of the Government ,on the^ pro gress of the war and Great Britain's preparations to 6arry it on the Housed of Lords adjourned until February 2, when Parliament will reassemble. The opposition failed to learn from the Government the growth of the Army or the operations of the Navy, regarding which its members persis tently questioned the Ministers, but, generally speaking, the Government expressed satisfaction at the rate at which recruiting was proceeding and Viscount Haldane declared the neces sity for compulsory service had not arisen. Made Fareweit 8peech. Washington.—Governor-elect Frank B. Willis of Ohio made his farewell speech in the House, resigned from Congress and left for Columbus, where he was Inaugurated. He gave a part ing against what he cailed a tendency to believe that legisiation must be guided by a political dictator. AssemMe Off Vtratnin.

W)LL SEARCH VESSELS BUT tS MUCH PLEASED WtTH AMERtCA'S PLAN FOR CERTt FtCATtON OF CARGOES. Washington Government Notiftea Ship pers That Officer to Supervise Loading Wit) Be Furnished. London.—Although the foreign ofUce regarde with high favor the American government's plan of certifying car goes destined for Europe, it-was said that Engiand cannot accept such cer tification as an absoiute guaranty of the nature of the cargo in case cause for suspicion arises after a vessei leaves America. In other words, the right of search cannot be waived be cause of the possibility of shifting car goes at sea. The waiving of the right of search in the opinion of prominent British officials, would be an invitation for smugglers to carry contraband to sea in small boats and transfer it to a ship of certified cargo. The position is precisely the same as that taken by the foreign office concerning cer tification of manifests by British Con suls at American ports. The Govern ment constantly is in communication with representatives of Sweden, Nor way, Denmark and Holland, and it is reported these nations are now taking steps to revise their lists of prohibited exports to correspond with the Brit ish contraband list. That would make possible a resumption of shipping to neutral European countries from Amer ica with delays or dafnger of seizure. Owing to failure of the London newspapers to discuss the preliminary ^negotiations between Ambassador Page and Foreign Secretary Grey ex tending over several weeks before the Ameringn note was presented, the English public was not well advised concerning the difference which grew up. Even now the opinion is quite general, notwithstanding publication Wilson denied England's right of search. Consequent)} much of the shock occasioned by the presentation of the American note was due to mis apprehension and now is disappearing on account of the calm and friendly attitude of the government. * ^ Cana) SHdes Prove Diffieutt. !Vashington.—Governor Goethals of Panama Canal Zone told a house appropriation sub-commitee that the slides in the big waterway had proved much more extensive than was atwdrst thought At the point where they occurred, he said, there is a channel 100 feet wide and 35 feet deep, but shoaling has complicated the situa tion.

New Orleans.—A three-day celebra tion of the one hundredth anniversary of peace among English-speaking people was held on the site of the last armed conflict between the United States and Great Britain. The ce e monles opened with the firing of a salute of 2 guns so timed 'hit the last gun boomed at 8:20 o'clock, exactly 100 years to the minute, accprdlng to historians, that General Jackson H . ally triumphed over the British on the Held of Chalmette near New Orleans.

Other women prominent in this organization and some members of the Daughters of the Confederacy are here. RUSSIANS MOVE IN HUNGARY. Most Significant of Campaigns Has Now Bogun. London.—A complete change in the situation in the Near East may be brought about by the Russian victory over the Turks in the Caucasus. If the Turkish Heet is as sweeping as has been reported ofHciaHy—the virt ua! destruction of two Turkish army corps and the repulse of a third—the Turkish menace against the Russians in Trans-Caucasia has been removed. The toss of so many of their best trained odicers and men ,it is believ ed here, wiii compei the Turks to give up any ambition they had of in vading their enemy's territories and force them to concentrate on the de fense of their Own country. Military men however a^e. taking even greater interest in the Russian invasion of Hungary through-Uzsok Pass in the Carpathians, and their rapid advance on Transylvania through Bukowina simultaneously with their movement toward Cracow. These combined op erations are the most gigantic under taking in the war. In the meantime the Russians are held by the Austro-Germans in West ern Galicia. Field Marshal von Hin denburg, the German commander in Northern Poland, can move but slow ly in his offensive operations against Warsaw because of the muddy roads.

Washington.—Government purchase of ships as proposed in the Adminis tration biii to create a shipping board, finance a $10,000,000 shipping corpor ation and expend not to exceed $30, 000,000 for the purchase chartering of ocean carriers, because the foremost issue before Congress. By a vote of 46 to 29 the Senate made the ship purchase b.H the un finished business, to be suppianted oniy by appropriation biiis. This ac tion, on motion of Senator Fietcher, acting chairman of tHe Commerce Com mittee, precipitated a showing on the part of opposition Senators which gave certain indication that there were breakers ahead for the proposed ieg isiation. Charging that an effort was being made to rush the biii with un due haste, Repubiican members, among them Senator Gaiiinger. Lodge and Root, served notice that the meas Minority members of the Com merce Committee, hied a report writ ten by Senator Burton and endorsed by Senators Neison, Perkins. Smith of Michiganand Oiiver, asserting that the pian proposed wouM not relieve shipping conditions enough to do any good, it pointed aiso to dangers of of Michigan and Oiiver. asserting that deciaring that "every craft set afloat by the Government wouid add one more risk of our being drawn into the present war." Senator Fietcher, who has charge of the bii! and who recently conferred with President Wiison concerning it, urged the measure in a iengthy speech after Republican Senates baa issued them pronounciamento of opposition. He declared the war has produced a "ship famine" and that the interests of aii peopie in the United States de manded that the Government take im mediate action to supply ships to car ry American products demanded in the markets of Europe and South America. He instanced the fact that cotton sold at 19 cents a pound in Germany when it was bringing seven cents in the United States. Germany would consume 500,000,000 pounds of cotton if she could get it, he said, and the South had 15 times that amount to sell. $75,000 FtRE AT CHARLOTTE.

Shortly after the governor appear ed. accompanied by the committee from the two houses, and wihout any further ado proceeded to deliver his message. As the governor entered the chamber, every man arose, and he was greeted with a round of applause. Handsome in appearance, faultless ly attired, the governor never appeared to better advantage in his life. His well-rounded voice carried to the ex treme connes of the hall, and he was listened to with the closest attention. The State's Progress. The governor )n the beginning call ed attention to the substantial prog ress in evidence throughout the state, both mater'aily. industrially, and in an educational way, lamented the fact that the European war had caused some depression in business, but stated that it was his belief that as we have been blessed with years of advantageous circumstances, that the people of the state would triumph antly overcome this reverse.
