When seen ini room at the Guilford this afternoon the Senator said to The Observer correspondent, in response to a re quest for an interview: ' ' We held an informal meeting of the State executive committee and a number of representative Repub licans from all J sections of the State." Asked as to the future policy of his party in North Caro lina, Senator Pritehard said: "The Republican party will earnestly ad vocate the rehabilitation of our merchant marine, industrial expan sion and a continuance of the econor mic policies inaugurated by the late President, and will oppose the un wise legislation which was enacted by the last Legislature. The far mers, the mechanics, the laborers, the manufacturers and all classes of businesss men are invited, to j oin with us in our efforts " to maintain the satisfactory condition of 'affairs which now obtains throughout the country as a result of Republican legislation."

Dining the meeting short speech es were made by Harry. Skinner, Judge Bynum, Dr. D. H. Abbott, senator Pntchard . and "others.

There was per fect unanimity of opinon as to this, but it is said that some of those present came to the parting of ,the ways when the methohs to be pur sued in bringing about this greatly to be desired end came up for dis cussion.

The Reuter Telegram v Company has received the f olio wing: dispatch from Con stantinoble, dated October 13: There have been no futher deve loments in the case of Miss Helen M; Stone, the abducted American : mis sionary. ; It is reported that Spen-' cer Eddy (secretary of the Uuited States legation in Constantinople), received today, a dispatch from Washington; advising him that a sum of money which should, suffice for the ransom would be forthcom ing." i The text of Reuter' s advices is ambiguous. ,The Daily Telegram has the following dispatch fron$ Sofia, dated Sunday: United States Consul General Dickinson has re ceived no instructions to pay the ransom. He is afraid a dangerous precedent would be created by pay ment. As he is now fully convinced that the brigands were merely in struments, acting under . the insti gation of late members of the Macedonian commiteee, he has made strong represantations - to the Bulgarian government asking for the arrest of these instigators. Should this be done, he says, Miss Stone would doubtless be released on payment of a moderate indemni ty and assurance of freedom for her captors.' Some. Macedonians have already been arrested here. v - Each Member Asked to Give $1. ' . New OrleanspiOctmr 3: GSbre Moorman, adjutant general of the United Confederate.
