Geneif'l News. Hero of Fashoda Paris Arrives) In Paris, June 1. Major Marchand ar rived here this morning. He was vo ciferously cheered as he alighted from his special train at the Gare de Lyor by a crowd numhering 5,000 persons. He was guarded by the police to his carriage to protect him from being overwhelmed by the rushes of his ad mirers, who covered his carriage with flowers and shouted "Vive Marchand" as the hero of Fashoda was driven away to the Ministry of Marine. Marchand repeatedly bowed his ac knowledgments en route, and again upon the balcony of the Ministry of Marine after his arrival there, the multitude keeping up incessant cheer ing. M. Lockroy. Minister of Marine, gave a luncheon in Marchand's honor. Cries of "Vive De Roulede" and "Vive L'Armee" 'were mingled with the shouts of "Vive Marchand," the Parisians fervently, the representa tives in their eyes of the army, as an offset to the Dreyfus climax. , Marrhand's state carriage in his tri umphal passage through the streets was .1 corneous affair. The vehicle was a victoria, on the corners of which were tricolored flags. The coach-box was overlaid with wreaths. Marchand, in his speech in response to a toast with the luncheon at the Ministry of Marine, said that, forget ting the quarrels which had divided France, although he regretted them, his troops would atteud the fetes in Paris, June 14-17. Marchand's Senegalese troops had to be forcibly removed from the train at Taulon, as they wished to come at once to Taris. The women of Toulon are lionizing them, embiacing them in the streets and surfeiting them with drinks and tobacco. It is likely that these black followers of Marchand will come to Paris later. Wild enthusiasm continues through out the city, Public and private build ings are decoroted with flags, and the streets in the the vicinity of the Mili tary Club and the Ministry of Marine and the Colonies are thronged with vast cheering crowds. After luncheon Marchand was conducted to the Elysee and was presented to President Lou bet, receiving a continuous ovation en route. Gen.Oti NecdS Thirty Thou sand. Washington, June 1. The reply of General Otis to the inquiry telegraph ed yesterday by Secretary Alger ask ing how many troops will be required in the Philippines was received this afternoon and laid before President McKinley. Information as to the con tents of the dispatch was refused, but it was ascertained that the figures given by Otis were not high. His statement of the total number of troops required to suppress the re bellion was very pleasing, and was much more satisfactory than the gov ernment was led to expect from the press dispatches sent out from Manila which apparently grossly exagerated the exigencies of the situation. This official statement was given out at the War Department: "General Otis telegraphs that he is still of the opinion that 30,000 troops will be necessary for the effective con trol of the Philippines." After coming from the conference at the White House, Secretary Alger said : "No decision has yet been reached regarding the possible call for more troops in order to supply the necessary force for General Otis. For the pre sent the forces in the Philippines can be raised by drawing on regular mili tary stations in th United States It may be necessary a little later to muster in a larger army ; 5,coo wilj probably do. But the call will not be made immediately, if it is made at all." Schurnian says There Arictlon. in no Communicated. (United States Legation.) West Coast Africa, May 8, ISOg. C. W. Gold Esq., Wilson N. C:- My Dear Sir: After along delay of twelve months from the time you pro mised to send me the Wilson Times, I now beg to acknowledge the receipt on April 28, of the first copy dated Nov. 24, 1899. Imagine my delight and pleasure, in reading "old home news,'' and seeing names so very familiar, and some so very dear to me. Among other things attracting my attention and admiration, In the great political changes, are the thoughts of such worthy chrittian, conservative, gentle men as Judge H. G. Connor, being chosen to represent Wilson county in the State Legislature; ex-Mayor Geo. D. Green, chairman of the board of county commissioners. These are in deed, great and wonderful changes, not that their politics have ever been doubted, but rather because of their very conservative principles, which have given them the respect, good will and confidence of the poor and ignor ant, as well as the rich and intelligent. Again, to see that my good, worthy and esteemed friend, Jefferson Davis Bardin, was so deservedly re-elected to the clerkship; is a matter of much de light tome, as well as profit to him. As a whole I think Wilson has done as well as creditable in her share of the honors and divisions of the polit ical spoils, Think of it, Speaker Con nor, of Wilson, chief clerk of Senate; C. C. Daniels, reared up in public life, in Wilson, as clerk in the postoffice, under that Queen of Postmistresses, Mrs. Daniels, who to my mind, and way of doing business made a most obliging, accommodating and accom plished superintendent of that office. Then again, F. W. Barnes Esq., a trained financier and business nan, elected as a director of one of the Asy lums, and Dr. A. Anderson, a most patient and pains-taking christian gentleman, and a learned physician, being elected as a director of the East ern Hospital, causes all to have the ap pearance that better things are coming, notwithstanding the "Jim Crow Car" law, the election franchise act, and the constitutional amendment. But I be believe you will let me vote. By the way. the National election for Presi dent, Vice-President, by direct vote of the people and Legislators took place here, May 2, 1899, the anniversary of my arrival. They have a property qualification suffrage here. None can vote, but freeholders. But the Govern ment gives every citizen land when he comes to his majority. If he after wards disposes of it and holds no other in his own name be forfeits his right to vote. At this writing the election re turns are not all in, but the indications are that the present incumbents, His Excellency, William David Coleman, and the Hon. J J. Ross, vice president, are re-elected. I have been writing about your poli tical changes as if I was In the State, and attending the primaries, but the "Messenger," Is my rewsboy. He is hard to hinder, he comes by way of England or Germany, any way so as to serve my purpose. Then to read your professional column, and mercantile advertisements, and to see the names of my old family physician, Dr. C, R. Moore, my friends Woodard & Wood aid, John E. Woodard, etc., almost persuades me to believe that 1 am nearer home than I really am. I have enjoyed most excellent health, have not lost a day for nickness since my arrival here. God bless Wilson and her worthy people. Respectfully Your6 and etc., Owen L. W. Smith. M. R. and C. G. Monrovia. Washington, June 1. President Schurman, of the Philippine commis sion, has telegraphed to the Secretary of State an emphatic denial of reports in American newspapers that there was friction between General Otis and the civilian members of the commis dnn Schurman was not able tore port any progress in the work of the commission. 'Ihe Filipino commis sioners have not returned to Manila, and the peace negotiations can not be resumed until they agree in beha'f of Aguinaldo to surrender unconditional ly to the United States. Sain Hose' Tormentors. Des Moines, May 3'. "We have the names of the men who cut off the ears, fingers and other members of the body of Sam Hose, the colored man who was burned at the slake in Georgia ana we snau puDiisu mem ii mc world in a pamphlet." This declaration was made here to day by Rev. Ransom, pastor of Bethel Methodist Episcopal church Chicago. "We sent a detective to Georgia," he said, "and he secured the names easily enough, as it seems to be quite an honor in that vicinity to have par ticipated in this affair. The detective found also that the woman Hose is ac cused of Laving outraged has never said such an offense was committed against her. We shall print 10,000 copies of the pamphlet, giving the names and facts, ana send it to mem bers of Congress, minister and otherss. LHdiett drop stitch stockinet 4 cent! at Young's. No Let-Up for Rainy Season. Manila, June 5. General Hall's com mand stopped at Teresa; advanced this morning and occupied Morong without opposition. Wholley's com mand had a little fight at Morong yester day, and nine dead and five wounded Filipinos were found when the place was occupied. The Americans suffer ed no loss. Five days rations have been dis tributed among the Americans who are advancing in a nearly continuous line across the Morong peninsula. Hospital tugs returning to-night with 5oo soldiers suffering from heat. Several escapes of insurgents through the lines were reported during the night. The unevenness of the country prevents maintaining a complete cor don. Mateo Valley wires have been cut continually by the enemy and finally abanded by Americans. The roughest country traversed by the the Ameri cans is around Antipole. Lieutenant Hawthorne, with Battery E. was un able to proceed, owing to the condi tion of the country, and was compelled to burn this wagons, artillery and am munitions to prevent their falling into hands of the enemy. Washington, June 5. Active opera tions in the Philippines will be con tinued by the Americans, notwith standing the rainy season. Plans for conducting the campaign were dis cussed at the White House last night. General Otis had outlined a general movement, including the one now be ing carried out on Morong peninsula. A message from Schurman has also been considered. Both Otis and Schur man submitted plans and asked in structions, which were sent. It is not believed the rainy season will be se vere enough to interfere with these plans for several weeks, and Otis's re lentless pursuit may result in speedy surrender, HOW IS THIS?
