Brewster, of tlio Uuited Stales Department of Justice, lift licre for Washington having completed Investi gation into charges of cruelty at tic North Carolina penitentiary which Ame federal convicts made to a Washington paper. Both inspectors declined to be interviewed. They gave the federal con vicls a hearing. As to charges preferred by federal convicts, olllcers of Hie peni tentiary 'say they are misleading and falnc. One officer says Ihcro is not a truo statement in the entire complaint ag it. was published in Washington dis patches. Complaint was undoubtedly smuggled out of prison by a convict who had com plelcd sentence and wai then mailed. I'ris'in officials do not deny they have worked convicts outside of prison, nor having punished them by whipping. Special peimission was obtained from the Department of Justice to work fod ei al coin id -i at clay pits, with the un deislaisdiiig they were noi to stay out of the building al night.

The Mayor's order was "lie vaccinated or leave lti.lcigh in twenty-four hours." All the sixteen who were IIiub obstinate, and for whom warrants were Issued, were white. Fourteen warrants were served on those in another ward. In case any of the obstinate stand out they will be sent to j til, and nt lined.

This has been a stormy session of Ike Supreme Court. Il was made clear Tuesday that there wai no love lost I t ween Judges Furches and Clark. Mow It Is plain, In the opinions in the Rbyne case, that there Is no tender feeling be tween Judges Clara and Douglas. In the Ithyne case Judge Clark refer red to the threatened lynching In Gaslon Judge Douglas says in his concurring opljloii, which gives Rhyne a new tiial: "I anTrm willing to rest nnder the charge that the Increase of lyuchings is caused by the iuability of the courts to protect society from murders. In the first place I do not think there has been any In crease of lynching In this State, where II has always been extremely rare, and even if our courts were inefficient, which I emphatically deny, I do not see how ur alleged laxity should Increase lynch ing in other State! without having any sucn-.efTect In our awn. Such sugges tions do great injustice to our State and may do great harm by encouraging Ihe very outrages they profess to denounce. In any event they tend to weaken, especially when coming from such a source, the respect of the people for the administration of justico, which is the foundation of social order. I feel safe In saying that tho courts of this State are fully competent to protect our cltl zenB and able to do so without deny ing to any one the equal protection of the law. We are told that wealthy men who have money enough to retain able coun sel arc rarely convicted of murder. Are they ever lynched If Iney are never lynched then lynch law can in no sense be regarded as a protest against their acquittal. Il is always a ma ler ol deep regret when men whose talent i and position should make litem the leaders of I heir people, permit themselves, in the heal of contention or Ihe zeal of re form to do or say things that are unjust lo their fellow nu n and tend lo tiling into disrepute the tribunals ol' justice anil tile laws of the I. mil.

In the Supreme Court during the present term there was very plainly shown lo be no good feel ing lie t wean Juslis Furches aud Dou glas, republicans, and Justice Waller Crark democrat. Judge Furches ren ilereU the opinion of the court In the case of Ithyne, a negro who committed murder in Gaston county, and who was brought t Raleigh for safekeeping. A new trial is given Rhyne, on the ground that while there are two degrees In murder, the first degree requiring mal Ice, there was not shown to be malice in Rhyne's caso. Clark tiled a dissentiug opinion, in which he said Ihe decision of the lower court ought to stand and went on to say that delays In punishing such crimes caused lynchlugs. This provoked a reply from Justice Douglas, a son of the famous Stephen A. Douglas, In Ihe shape of an opiuion con curring with that of Ihe court. In this Douglas attacked Clark iu the plainest manner. A I an adjourned meeting of the stock holders of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company, held al Wilminglon Saturday, a deal was perfected between thai company and tho Southern Railway t onipany, by which the Southern gels that part of ihe Atlaulic. and Yadkin Road (late the Cape Fear and Y'adklu Valley) between Sauford aud Mount Airy, the Wilminglon and Weldou re taining that portion of the road between Sanford and Wilminglon, including the liennellvllle branch. As a result of this deal most of the general olllcers of the Atlantic and Yad kin resigned and Col, A. B. Andrews was elected president; Mr. W. A. Finley, vice-preslbeul; Mr. K. S.Gannon, general manager, and Mr. W. II. Killer, bee re tary. t here will undoubtedly be strong pres sure iu case the Legislature meets In June in 1900, to Impeach Governor Kus sell. Many Democratic papers are now say ing a mistake was made in not impeach ing him last winter. But the democratic caucus considered that matter and so did the Democratic State committee, and decided thai il was best not lo lake the step, while agreeing that there would be conviction if there were Impeachment A wild cow at Salisbury attacked party of school children and tore out an eye of Mamie Rusher.

Philip pines nud CongrNloiul Action. WahiiinutoN, May 15 Extra Session talk Is much less positive than It was a week ago, but Ibis Is probably account ed for by the absence of the President and I lie few Senators and Representa tives at present in Washington, rather than by any lessening of Ihe probabilities for an extra session. Some men who ought lo know say lhal an extra session will depend upon how soon General Otis can force Agulnaldo lo surrender he is now trying to do some more negotiating They argue that Ibe President cannot determine what to recommend In the way of Congressional legislation for the Philippines unlil we have peaceable con trol or Ibe islands, and that ha will not call Congress in extra session pnless he sees his way clear to make such recom mendstion. Bui without considering the Philip pines at all, there are strong reasons in lavor oi congress meeting a monlu or two earlier than usual. It will beat least a month after Congress meets before the House Committees will be appointed owing to the election of a new Speaker; and next year being Presidential year the politicians, regardless of parly would like lo have Congress adjourn before the National Conventions are held. This It can scarcely do, If it doea not get down to business before the 1st of January. THKIriCCllI.ATIV MARKKTS. Today'a quotations furnished by Lewis A. May & Co., New York, Represented by A. O.

Civilian Mombnr Of Philippine ( uuinli- ton Wl.k To ( Willi Natlvrs. Move Uy Agulnaldss. Manila, May 14. The civilian mem bers of ihe United Slate. Philippine commission are favorable to a meeting with a Filipino commission, as was sug gested yesterday, on behalf of Agulnaldo by Lieutenant Reyes, of the staff of Gen - ral Dei Filar, who went to General Lawton under a flag of truce bearing the roposal. It la thought by the American Com missioners that the plan may have re sulted from a recent meeting of the so called Filipino Congress al San lsidro. Definite Information on this point can not yet be obtained. The local Filipino committee, which is in close communica tion with tbe leaders of the revolution, s doing Its utmost to secure peace. Reyes was accompanied by a barefoot ed bugler The two were escorted to Manila by Captain Sewell, of General .awton's stalf. Reyes told General Olis that Agulnaldo desired passes for a military commission to come to Manila and confer with the American Philip pine commissioners. General Otis re plied that passes would not lie necessary as unarmed commissioners could euler the American lines. Lieutenant Reyes returned later to Bacolor. Ten memliers of General Lawton's band of scouts, under W. M. Young, an old Indian lighter, entered the town of San Miguel, about tifteen miles north of Nor.agaray, not aware of what place it was. They found 200 Filipinos there, but he natives taking the scouts for the ad vance of Lawton's army, lied after firing a few shots. Young and another scout were wounded and have been brought lo Manila. The uniform quiet now prevailing in Manila has led the authorities to relax he rule under which the streets were cleared at night. This evening there is a large and brilliant assemblage of pedes trians aud persons in carriages listening lo a baud concert on the Luneia. The Filipinos are entrenched bo close to San Fernando as to make life in that city uncomfortable while they remain in their present position. The American army has advanced so far lhat the iUes lion of transportation has liecome the great problem. To solve il cng.neers are repairing the Ragbag bridge so lhat It will be safe for the passage of trains and give railroad connection between Manila and San Fernando. All INAI.IIO'S AOKNTS. How Tliy Spread If'nlMe Slorle. In 1 Philippines. Several private letters received here by the steamship America Msru lhat ar rived from Hong Kong and Yokohama, tell of the persistent and treasonable ef forts of a gang of so called Americans who reside in porta adjacent to Manila lo belittle the work of the American army in the Philippines and spread stories concerning atrocities practiced by American troops. The detestable Fill pino press agonts seem to be well pro vided with Insurgent money, and they every now and then circulate rumors lo the effect that all Is not as well in the Islands as the military authorities would like things to be. At Singapore there seems lo be a hotbed of the pests, and Manila Is not far behlnd wilh Us quota of lie manufacturers. One slory circulated through this me diura was concerning the cowardice of a certain American regiment in the battle of Pastg. The slory, traced to its source was found lo emanate from an English agent for tho Filipino republic who has for some time been considered a spy among our troops. The yarn that the American soldiers do not desire lo tight the natives, but are forced Into action from hope of se curing a little cheap glory, Is denied Tbe truth In tbe matter Is that the Amer lean forces to a man have the utmost hatred of tbe Tangallos who oppose them, though they have kind feeling for tbe peaceful natives. The aoldiera have found lhal the rebels are treacherous and though tbey are anxious to gel back to the United Stales, they are also Itch log to annihilate the men of Agulnaldo' army and would suffer most any kind of a hardship If ihey could only get a good square crack al tbe Insurgent army. Arms and ammunition sent to Agui naldo'a men certainly come from Arms In Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore and moat of tbe arms recently bait-based are of American make. Shipments are sold to firms In tbe Orient, and tbe guns and shells are then put on board resseis by these Par East merchants and sent to Lnion.

Professor Schurman, president of the I tilled Slates Philippine commission, gave a farewell luncheon today to Adml- I Dewey, at which Prof. Dean C. Wor- ceslei and Col. Charles Denby, of the commission, with Geneial MacArthtir, Mrs. Lawton and others, were present. The health of the Admiral was drunk with the utmost cordiality. WahiiimitiIn, May 14. Admiral Dewey's home cowing by way of the Mediterranean is likely to give occasion for distinguished honors from the navies of Europe. Already Ambassador Cam b.jn, of France, has called the attention f the authorities at Paris to the return of the Admiral by way of the Mediter ranean and the probable sailing of his flagship Olympia past the French naval ports In Algieis. The Admiral is likely to slop at Malta id Gihralla, as these are the usual coal lug places, anil this would give an opportunity for an expression of British esteem for him.

The wife of nil Aiiiericnn naval officer stationed at Tien tniu writes thns to a friend iu Baltimore: "The trip by train from the landing to Tien tsin takes about nn hour and n half.
