loaded with honors fur passing a law
that would be most acceptable to tbe
white people of the Btate.

WainisoT-'.s, Nov. 12. A feeling of

In regard lo the outlook, it can only

Mctosv ronclusloj are strong. It is
understood that several members of the
I peace comumsion have made arran
menu lo ssil for home December 10,
I two weeks from next Saturday. This
I m iv be taken as an indication that alt
.preliminaries will be diapxed of before
that date, and that probably tbe treaty
of peace will be ready to bring for sub
mission to the President.
It la realized now that Paris was not a
good piace to hold the session of the
commiuiofl. Tho sentiment thero wag
and la pronounced in favor of Spain and
against this country. The newspapers
of Pari have done everything possiolj
to embarrass the American commission
era, and their efforts have been seconded,
although in a covert way, of course, by
the whole body of French official socle-
Most probably the conditions would
have been exactly the same if the meet
ings had been held in any "other of the
Capitols on the continent of Europe, for
the sentiment in all of them has been
distinctly pro-Spanish. If the United
States had proposed London as the place
of meeting, Spain, however unwillingly,
would have been c impelled to consent.
But that is all past now.
From the private intimations of the
American commissioners reaching here
from lime to lime there is i n doubt ihey
are welcoming Itieir aopru'd i ig depar
ture with much satisfaction. They have
not had a pai licula' ly plii sent social
time and have leen sul ject to many
pe.sonal discomforts owing to the disa
greeable climate, the smoking wood fires
and the caiidlvs. Their lahors have been
arduous and they hive been on the

a superior in all Europe in the wiles of
diplomacy. His skill, adroitness and
finess are said to be marvelous, and
our commissioners have been under the
necessity of watching him with hawks'
eyes for fear he would make some turn
on them. He knows lie will lose, but is
playing his deep and desperate game to

Bkki.in, Nov. 28 A dispatch from
Elbing, a seaport of West Prussia, states
that an attempt was made upon the life
of Nicholas II of Kussia while be was
returning from Copenhagen Recently.
Just before tbe Czar's special train
crossed the bridge between Boemerhoe
fen and Lagern a switchman found that
the bridge had been obstructed. By al
most superhuman efforts, as a result of
which he is now in a hospital, the
switchman succeeded in removing the
obstacles sufficiently to permit the pas
sage of the Imperial train.
An investigation of tho circumstances
is conducted in secret.
A correspondent of the London Tele
graph, who was recently in St Peters
burg, writes as follows about the Czar:
"I have seen this young autocrat many
times, and in close proximity. Never
wag power so stupendous embodied in
form so simple, gentle and prepossessing.
Everybody is familiar, by pictures at
least, with the appearance of Nicholas
If, who inherits, by his mother, Dagmar
of Denmark, the type of princely grace
to which English people have grown
accustomed by the comely offspring of
Dagmar's illustrious sister, Alexandra.
It is a face which, whether yon admire it
or not, yon must love, yo'i must trust,
you must even pity, so clear and plain il
grows on you while you gaze that the
mind behind it and tlie heart beating in
that exalted breast feel the responsibili
ties of tremendous power a hundred
times more than its pleasure or glories
"I saw the young Czar crowned in the
ancient chapel of the Kremlin. I was
almost within reach of him at I list su
preme moment, when, after the holy
anointing, and the solemn cer monies of
the confessions of faith, and the procla
mation of ids titles, the youthful nuto
crat he is but thirty years old today
placed on the brow of bis beautiful, sad
consort the diamond crown just removed
from his own. She, on her knres, bur
ied her sobbing face in her mighty lord's
mantle and rose the greitest lady of two
eontinenls. I knew then that from na
tures so obviously noble, noble deeds and
thoughts would spring if the awful
world of splendor and necessity in which
the pair must live did not hinder."

lUl.KKiir, N. C. November J4 It is
quite e?iileni lhat an eh ction law or Un
constitutional amendment regulating the
franchise by an educational or properiv
qualiflcalion, or both, will lie tbe great
question befu:e Hie Legislature.
Many Republicans and Populists stand
by their voluntary statements pledged to
support a constitutional amendment
"eliminating the negro.1'
The discussion of the question in the
State press is beinuing to be genera1.
The Biblical Hccorder, the organ of the
Baptists in North Carolina, says today:
"We hope North Carolina will be -given
an election law modelled upon the Aus
tralian ballot idea. It is absolutely fair,
and tbe only objection that can be made
to it is that" it requires decent intelli
gence of the voter, and that is its greatest
virtue."
The other day a correspondent asked
Democratic State Chairman Simmons
his views of the matter, and he thought
a well-preptred election law w ould an
swer the purpose.
The State abor commissioner says be
is surprised at the discovery that fewer
hogs, by 150,000.are now raised in Noith
Carolina thau were raised in 1H80. Cot
'on, the crop mortgage system and the
consequent purchase of food supplies,
such as meat, from the West, have caus

Governor Russell does not like the
publication in the New York Herald
