Six Hoars for Teachers. Fair Ex hlblts. Unseam Aaaex Ar ranged. Age Limit In Durham Kills. Hai.eioh, roptember 20 The attor neys who appeared for the State last week in the great tax assessment case. Involving $10,000,000 addition lo the value of railway property, are greatly impressed by Judge Simonlon, whom roundly denounced; also by tbe fact that no State court could have heard such a case. The term of no State court below tho Supreme exceeds three weeks, anil cases roust bo jury cases unless there Is unanimous agreement to refer them to the judge. But In the Federal court the j jdgo sits as chancellor. When the judge heard the affidavits of the State read he said they were complete and that the case whs closed for the State, but that the burden was upon the railways to rebut tne evidence llie State presented. The ruling saved the Suite thousands or dollars in expensed and perhaps a year in time. J. It. Tillery, chief supervisor of the penitentiary farina, is here and says he estimates t he damage to the cotton on those farms at not over 2'g percent. The cotton U late in opening, lie says ills blooming fuely. Picking did not begin until yesterday and about 500 pickers are at work. The penitentiary board is pleased with the contract made with a italcigh tirm lo deliver it 10,000 mattresses about half a year's product. The shucks used in t he mattresses conic from the farms an I are prepared there before ihoy are shipped The cotton aUo comes from the fauns. Mr. Tillery says the health of the con victs la better than he has ever known it to be on the fauns The State Superintendent of Public Instruction rules that the six hours named by law as a teacher's work for a day docs not include recesses, but means tho lime actually spent in teach ing. The Stale wil! this year bavo llie lar gest peanut Crop It has ever grown. The Seaboard Air line people here say that (planers for Governor Kussell and 20 of his staff have been secured on the Old Dominion steamer leaving Norfolk on the 20tii iust. for New York. Ites pouses by the staff to the letter of Invi tation lo the Dewey celebration come in Blowly, and. up lo today only seveu had been received. A commission was issued today to J. F. Carlton as captain of Company E First Regiment, at Statesville. Air. Frank Dancy, of Norfolk, of the Virginia & Carolina Chemical Company, Is here arranging for a Hue special ex hibit at the Stale Fair. It will be in the building which llie company will erect. The company will also have a float lu the trades procc-n:on, which was ar ranged toDighl and which H lo be the largest ever seen here. Tho reclassification of ihe books In le State Iiibiary is completed, It oc cupied a couple of mouths' time. The library will no longer be open at night. A largo room lu the museum annex is to be diverted to objects and publica tions connected with North Carolina history. Tho rsii','0 of exhibits I wide. There is ccnsl ierablc prc-rovolulionary ma terial, a great deal, during the revolu tionary period, and much of great value concerning the civil war period. When the public sees the collection it is safe to say there will be many addi tions. Chairman Young, of the penitentiary board, wa here and gave his assent that a contract should be made with a New York firm for 0J convicts to make shirts In the shirt factory, the plaut of which the penitentiary owns. The price lo be paid Is 50 cents a dozen. The East Durham ai d Pearl Cotton Mills of Durham have decided to co operate with the Krwin Cotton Mills, lu West Durham, and not employ any ehlld labor, boy or glil. The age limit placed by these mills is 13 year and no one under that ago will be employed. As a result of this ruling the schools in the milling sections have much lar ger attendance than last year at this time. MontJo'Trlftl IW(in. Madrid, Sept. 10 The trial of Ad miral Montejo, chief In command of Spain's naval forces In the Philippines, who surrendered to Admiral Dewey after tbe destruction of the Spanish vessels In the battle of -antlago began here today Tbe prosecution demand a sentence of Imprisonment for life, with ' dismissal irons the service. Tbe defence will be presented tomorrow. Bahaarer-Kastaar Is Dtad. Paris, Sept. 10 M. August Bcheurer Xettner, former V toe-Pi Ideal of the freaoh SenaU nd champion of Dreyfus died today from typhoid fever. FILIPINO U KA H E.N. Ak For Coifr nc. Looked I puu With l)uubt. Washington, September 19 Secre- tary Root today received a cablegram! from General Otis that seemed to lndl-, cate a weakening on the part of the in-, surgents. It contains a proffer to deliver , tbe American prisoners who have been for so many mouths in tbe bands of the i ifurgents, and also sought permission to parley with General Otis. This cablegram was at once taken by Secretary Root to the Cabinet meeting, and formed the main topic for discussion at the beginning of the session. How ever, upon reading Ihe message careful y its apparent importance seem te dimin ish. Secretary Root himself did not re gard the matter as of importance at this time He recalled frequent efforts on the part of the Insurgents In the past to gain time at critical momenta by opening negotiations, ostensibly with the object of making peace, and he was not sure but that this last offer was something of the same kind. The text of the dispatch follows: Manila, September 10 Adjutant General, Washington: MacArthur re ports from Angeles visit of two insur gent officers, with request for permission to send Into our lines American prison ers and to send to Manila prominent Insurgent general officer for conference. Tbe requested Interview granted, and Insurgent officers at Angeles returned north this morning with information. Otis. I.I Hung Chang Up Again. Victoria, B. C, September 1')- Mail advices from the Orient suite that Li Hung Chang has been recalled to power. The Empress Dowager of China is said to he rcrioutdy ill. Over 3,000 persons are dead and miss ing as a r. sult of u recent typhoon in lapnn. Great damage to shipping is re- ported. Kii;luill Tinging I or Time. London, Sept . 10. Summonses have been issued for a f'aliinet council, which Is is understood, will be held Friday. The lack of excitement in olllcb 1 cir clcs bears evidence to the deliberate manner in which the highest officials are handling the Transvaal crisis. It is by no means certain that tho Cabinet coun cil will adopt extteme measures, in spite of the uncompromising nature of the Boer reply. The deliberation on the part of the Government is Interpreted, not only in London, but In other European capitals, as showing a desire on tbe part of Great Britain to gain time while the transports are hurrying to Cape Colony. The Kt-ver Situation. Wasiiinoton, September 19. The yellow fever idtuntion at Key West Is re garded as grave. Since tbe first case was reported about three weeks ago, the epi demic has been steadily growing until today there are almost 400 cases, New cases appearing at tbe rate of thirty a day, but the mortality is low Fifty four eases and two deaths were reported for Sunday and Monday, Attendant C. L. Hall, one of tbe Marine Hospital staff, developed the disease last night, and he has been isolated. As Key West is situated below the frost line the epidemic will have lo run its course.

R. B. Davis lias completed the publication in Sen ator's Butler's paper of his series of letters in favor of negro colonization. Senator Butler has not yet taken ground in support of this plan. There are rea sons for belief that the Populist conven tion may declare Its support of the Idea. The Populists are much concerned about this negro question, ju?t as thoughtful Republicans like Settle, Argo, Starbuck, Dr Abbott and Loge Harris are. Thoughtful Republicans see nothing in the future for their party with the negro in It. They know that, like the Indian in the social life of this continent, he has had bis political life and must needs pass olT the political slage. The declaration of ex-Congressman Settle In favor of the franchise amend ment has stirred rp the Republicans who are trying to force that issue. They can't bold the party in Hue against It Chair man Holton talked about making oppo sition to it a test of party fealty, but Senator Pritchard knows v eil that can't he done. Senator Butler is expected here today lie has completed bis law course at the Stale University, and will stand for el imination Monday before t lie Supreme t.'ourt. John W. Hardin has resigned as quar termaster general of the State Guard, lie was appointed by Governor Russell last year, to succeed Eugene O. Hnr rell. It is said that while Governor Russell is away at New York, perhaps for a week, Col. .1. C. Logan Harris, bis chief aide, wilf look after affairs Mrs. Russell will accompany the Gov ernor. Just as It was known It would do. the penitentiary executive board buys the Caledonia farms on the Roanoke, at the option price. The option would have oxplrcd December 31. The farms are spoken Of as Nos, 1 and 2. Really it Is only one farm, 12,000 acres. The co3t Is about tGl.OGfl, the price bolng about 8 an acre. The land was declared during the session of the Legislature to be worth $20 an acre. It is found that there are only 22,605 books'ln tbe State Library. There are 10,000 pamphlets. Tbe number of books is only about half the alleged number said to be in the library. The estimates were, therefore, all guess work. The new classification is excellent. In years gone by books were lent from the II brary, and in this way great numbers were lost. Not a few are here In Ral elgh and others are scattered all over the State. John Nichols slicks to his first oplu ion, that Spencer B, Adams will be the next Republican nominee for Governor Ac laughs at Loge Harris and the lalter's Butler. The legislative investigating commit tee is now at the Halifax penitentiary farm. It today heard witnesses In de fence of Lewis Summerell, the supervis or of the Northampton farm, charged with cruelty. The penitentiary executive board haa not yet announced its decision as to Summerlll. Bishop Cheshire today at noon formal ly opens the 2 th annual session of St. Mary's Female School here. This school Is now under the control of the Episco pal dioceses lo North and South Carolina and Rev. Mr. Braltou Is its rector. There was a light yesttrday on the sidewalk in front of the postouice, in which Postmaster "Bailey, of North Car olina," and a null carrier named Denent figured. Bailey struck Denent and then got him. People Interfiled and the affair endod. Bailey's faoe is somewhat scrath d. Adjutant General Royaler says the I'lrsl Regiment Is to be armed and equip ped at once. There are some rifles In the arsenal. Others have- been requis itioned for, so to allow 43 to be issued to each compauy. Eleven recruits left here yesterday for Fort Ethan Allen, Vl. Twenty-four are ready to leave Goldtboro and seven go from Durham. Recruiting is creditably active now.

Sept. 20 Despite all outward show of calm, Ureat Britain is in prac tically the same connition today as was the United States a few weeks before the opening of the war with Spain. Beneath the crust of diplomatic reserve, the mili tary officials arc working night and day, preparing for the signal to begin hos tilities, whether that conies or not. The departure of the Tiansport Jerun- ga for the Mediterranean today with 1,100 troops, was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic ciowd. At Woolwich, activity increases daily especially in tbe ordnance department, where Maxim guiiH, Lyddite shells, bal loo equipments, gas reservoirs, wagons for lime light apparatus, water charts, ambulances, army wagons and other paraphernalia of modern warfare arc being hurried forward. While rumors of the reassembling of Parliament ate current, the fact is re called that in the Afghan war, in 1878, Great Britain declared war tirst and then assembled I'ailiment. According to oil cr advices the Burgh ers are rapidly going into Laager, while tbe exodm from .lobnneshurg yesterday reached 1,000 person ,.

The Record prints the following lioin its corres pondent, under date of Nice, France, August 29. SpcakiDg of his experience with Vice Admiral von Diedriebs, in Manila bay, shortly after the destruction of Admiral Montojo's tleet, Admiral Dewey said to me in conversation: "I was maintaining a strict blockade of Manila, and had to know the charac ter and identity of every vessel that en tered the bay. The fact that a ship tlew tbe German ling was no proof that she wa3 really German "lu carrying out my orders my com manding olllcers acted discreetly and tactfully, giving no offense to the naval representatives of any power except Germany. 1 don't know why Vice-Ad-mira) von Diedriebs should have felt aggrieved. 1 always attributed his pro test to a lack of knowledge of inter national laws. "Admiral von Diedriebs sent bis Hag lieutenant to me with a list of complaints that be wished to make against the way I treated the ships under bis command. They had exhausted my patience. I had been forbearing in tbe extreme, and this protest or complaint was too much. As nearly as I can remember, my exact words were: "What Is It you want? Do you want war? You know what lhat means. If you do you can have it lu five minutes. We arc a peaceable people, but wo have got into a light now and wc arc ready to go on. If necessary, we're ready to light the woild. Yo.i may tell Admiral von Diediiehs that 1 am blockading this hay, and that I sbnll take such steps as are the light ami the duty of the blockading ofllcer." Wonderful Fireworks.
