WHAT THE WEATHER MAN SATS.
For Raleigh and vicinity fair tonight
and Friday.
The barometer has risen considerably
over the North Atlantic States, with
a fall In temperature of over ten de-
greees in the east Lake region. In the
northwest the barometer is relatively
low, but the storm is apparently of
slight intensity. No precipitation was
reported this morning.
The weather is generally clear and
pleasant. The temperature has risen
in the west and south. The conditions
seem favorable for fair weather, with
slight changes in temperature.
WILL SPAIN ACCEPT.
The answer of Spain to the note of
the American Commission at the Joint
session last Monday is the subject of
much discussion, says a special to the
Washington Post. That the Spanish
Commission will act with the full ap
proval of and under Instructions from
Madrid is not denied. The Madrid gov
ernment insists that their Commis
sioners shall conclude a treaty, al
though it is well known here that their
plenipotentiaries individuality favor
abandonment of further effort. THey
express much indignation at1 the atti
tude of the Americans, and . again
trheaten to appeal In a pjotest to the
powers of Europe, or as one of them
puts It, appeal to humanity.
The American Commissioners have
been firm, courteous and dignified. In
trenched behind the protocol and their
instructions from Washington, they
have pursued a straightforward, une
quivocal course which has won for
them high praise from the unpreju
diced on this side of the Atlantic.
No attache has a more difficult or
responsible position than Arthur Fer
guson, the official translator. He
speaks perfect Spanish. All the oral
arguments are translated by him eith
er Ihto one language or the other. His
work has been without criticism.
Gen. Geo. B. Williams and Mr. Frank
Riggs and family arrived here yester
day. A $3,000,000 MORTGAGE.
In our rounds ofthe court house, says
the Wilmington Messenger, we ascer
tained that there was recorded in the
register of deeds office yesterday a
mortgage for $3,000,000. It was a con
solidated mortgage by the Carolina
Central Railroad Company to the Far
mers' Trust Company of. New( York,
and on Inquiry we learned that It was
filed by Hon. Walter H. Neal, of Lau
rlnburg, attorney for the Seaboard Air
Line. We ascertained that this mort
gage does not meanwi additional in
cumbrance on the property of the rail
road company, but represent the entire
Indebtedness.

We have changed, as you see, our orig

temple.' Our first plan was to build
a brick and stone structure which
would cost about $30,000 to hold 2.500
people, with Sunday school rooms and
other institutional features down stairs.
We abandoned this plan because in the
first place we unwilling to incur so
much debt at this time, and also be
cause the permanent plans for our
work are not sufficiently matured.
"This tabernacle which we are now-
arranging to build will serve us to ac
commodate our congregations, which
we cannot do at present, and wili ena
ble us to prosecute our work with more
vigor than where we are at present.
and allow us to mature our future plans
more thoroughly before attempting to
build a- more permanent structure.
'Will we attempt any of our insti
tutional features, such as reading
rooms, libraries, bath rooms, dispensa
ries, etc.. In our new tabernacle? Yes,
to a limited extent we will. It will be
our purpose to keep open doors. A read

will also be incorporated as we can
take them up."

"It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good," said a wholesale dealer In fire
arms yeBterdav In speaking of the
threatened race war in North Carolina
"For the past two weeks, and espe
cially for the past three or four days,
very one in the firearms business has
been doing a landofflce trade In rifles,
revolvers and cartridges. Every mall
brings large orders from the towns of
Eastern North Carolina, where the lo
cal dealers are unable to supply a hun
dreth part of the arms asked for by
their customers."
The Tabb & Jenkins Hardware Com
pany, Hanover street, below Lombard
have received several large orders by
mail from North Carolina. One of the
firm showed a reporter of the Sun over
a dozen orders for revolvers and rifles
which came in by yesterday morning's
mail. One order from a merchant at
Elizabeth City, N. C, called for a dozen
hammerless 32 calibre revolvers of the
new Colt type. Four cases of Winches
ter repeaters, and three car-, of Colt's
army rifles were ordered by a dealer In
Edenton. "If you havn't what we want
in stock wire the manufacturer to rush
them at once, and we will pay all ex
penses," said the Edenton customer.
"The run on revolvers and rifles for
the past three or four days has been
so great." said Mr. Jenkins of the Tabb
& Jenkins Company, "that we ran out
of our regular supply in certain types
of goods and have had to order by
telegraph to be able to meet the de
mands of our North Carolina trade. In
order to accommodate a good customer
of ours, who ordered some revolvers by
telegraph this afternoon, we sent out
through the city, but were unable to
get the revolvers needed. Eevery one
in Baltimore seems to have disposed of
all the rifles and revolvers of the Win
chester and Colt type owing to tills
North Carolina affair."
Investigation among the other bal
ers confirmed Mr. Jenkins' statement.
