A YOUNG THIEF.
Edward Hunt, a small colored boy, 12
years of age, was tried at July term
1898, for larceny and by reason of his
youth was acquitted. Today he was
tried again for stealing a shirt valued
at one dollar, stolen since last court.
He was convicted and sentenced to 4
mouths on the roads. Here is another
object lesson for the General Assembly
appealing to them for the establish
ment of a Reformatory for youthful
criminals. This boy has 'been in our
crowded jail with about thirty grown
criminals for the past six weeks, and
for the next four months his associates
will be criminals of the very worst
character, calculated to make him one
of them. Certainly these juvenile law
breakers should have a place where they
could be reformed by surrounding cal
culated to learn them trad-es by which
they may earn a living without steal
ing. AGAINST EXPANSION.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Senator
McLa-urin, of South Curolina spoke an
hour in opposition to expansion in the
Senate this morning. In executive ses
sion the committee on rivers and har
bors had a closed hearing.
HEAVY SLEET
Many Live Wires Down this
Morning
MAYOR'S ORDER
Telegraphic Communication was Severed
This Morning No Serious
Accldcuts Happened,
However.
The sleet on the trees this morning
was one of the worst Raleigh has ex
perienced In years. The tree3 were lad
ened with ice and many limbs were
broken. This morning the situation
was serious and it is a miracle that no
one was seriously hurt. The ice broke
down the wires in all parts of the city
and many live wires were on the
ground. Policemen were stationed at
vinous places to warn pedestrians an.l
vehicles.
Both the Western Union and the Pos
tal telegraph companies found their
service seriously interrupted and mes
sages were accepted at the risk of the
render.
The following explains itself:
Mr. W. J. Andrews, President of Ral
eigh Electric Co.:
De?K- Sir: i"i'""ny wires are down.
Saveral of our officers arc now watch
ing broken live wires and 1 understand
that a man has just been knocked on
Hillsboro street by a broken wire great
alarm is prevailing over the city. I
therefore request you to shut down
your plant until these wires as well as
those of others can be repaired.
Yours truly,
A. M. POWELL,
iMayor.
On account of the above order The
Times-Visitor's compositors could not

GENERAL EGAN
Inres is:ators Resent His
Insult to Miles
TESTIMONY RETURNED
General Egan Must Suffer for Calling
General Miles a Scoundrel and
a Dirty Unr Yes
terday. By Telegraph to The Times-Visitor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The war
Inquiry commission has passed a reso
lution censuring General Eagan for the
language be used yesterday. The reso
lution will not be made public until late
today. Eagan called Gen. Miles a lair
and a scoundrel.
Col. Sexton, commander in chief of
the Grand Army and a member of the
war investigating commission, is very
sick at the Arlington hotel from in
Hamatory rheumetism and kidney com
plaints. In army and official circles generally
and in every private house it is accept
ed as a foregone conclusion that a court
martial of Gen. Eagan will be ordered
for the insult to Miles before the war
Investigators.
The war investigators have decided
to return to Commissary General Eagan
an official copy of the testimony deliv
ered by him before the commission yes
terday. The letter of transmittal ex
plains their action.
Gen. Wood was the first witness be
fore the war investigators today. He
said a great deal of the refrigerated
beef was had wh-n it was sent to the
troops at Santiago. It had slight mould.
but was unloaded in good condition.
There was prejudice against moat aged
to any extent and much beef was con
demned, not because it was bad when
it arrived at Santiago but because it
could not be handled. It would leave
the ship in the morning and reach the
troops late in the afternoon. He said
the campaign should be judged from
the result.
The war investigators this afternoon
notified General Eagan that his vitu
perative language against General
Miles should have been omitted, and
they return to him his statement for
revision.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular co-respondent.
Washington, J in. 13.
The Democrats on the Committee
on Foreign Relations Interposed no
objections and the treaty of peace was
reported to the Senate this week. The
treaty will be ratified, but how soon
will depend upon whether its oppo
nents, who are more numerous than
they we:e at first supposed to be, will
be satisfied merely to go on record
against it with their votes.
i.VIr. Andrew Carnegie is in Washing
ton, openly working against the ratifi
cation of the treaty or pence. He
thinks that if Col. Bryan would revise
his -advice and try to get Democratic
Senators to vo;e against the treaty,
instead of voting for the tiv-ly and af
lerwa.ds against expuisi. n, .ts rejec
tion would follow. H sail: "All that
I hear Indicates the in. r a.- of the op
position, and I am quilt e;: " on-aged to
believe thru the rat ilcaiiwn of the
treaty -,n be defeated. According to
my opinion, this is the opportune time
for those who oppose expansion to do
their work. Only a one-third vote is
required to defeat the tre.uy. whereas
with the treaty ratili -d. we will have
to secure a majority to make our
views effective. Hence, 1 say that this
is the time f ir Mr. Bryan and other
unti-exi.1 msionlsts to make the fig'ht.
Hereafter we will not only enjoy the
advantage over our opponents that we
now do, having then to meet them in
the open field."
Senator Morgan secured the consent
of the Senate to vote upon his Nic
aragua canal bill, next Tuesday, and
he is confident th'it it will pass, w.t'h
amendments acceptable to him. The
House Committee on Interstate and
-Foreign Commerce is unanimous in fa
vor of the canal, but divided on how
it shall be built.

Booker is beginning to realize his ap
proaching end and is showing it. He

THE RAILROADS
Inters ate Commerce Com
mission's Report
THEIR RECOMMENDATION
Seven Thousand Injured on Trains Last
Year-Rate Cutting Still
Prevails Law In
effectave. By Telegraph to The Times-Visitor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The twelfth
annual report of the inter-state com
merce commission was made public to
day. The commissioners maintain that
the law in its present shape cannot be
enforced, rate cutting is still preval
ent, hut the general public as not bene
littid as only the big shippers and men
with great capital are favoied. while
the smaller shippers are injured, and
often ruined by set-ret rates.
Tile report says: "Toe assert ions and
decisions that forbade all railway
.igioomen-ts have little foundation: the
"i nl question is nut whether carriers
shall he grant) d the right of contract,
which they never possessed, but it cer
tainly ought not to be unlaw fill for car
riers to agree and confer for the pur
pose of doing what the law enjoins. If
!t is understood that competition pro
luces discrimination, one obvious way
to prevent such discrimination is to re
strict competition. It would probably
.e to the advantage of both railways
and the public if the public had some
voice or representation in any organi
zation of the kind under consideration."
The total income of railroads for the
year was $467,000,000, surplus $13,000,000,
dividends $66,000,000. During the year
1,700 persons were killed, and 27,000 In
jured on railroads.

FLOWERS ARE PLUTOCRATIC.
New York Sun.
The North Carolina legislature has
laid on the table with a tremendous
bang, a motion to make the golden rod
the State flower. "Gives us something
silver!" was the cry of the Indignant
Democrats. No emblem suggesting
the metal of the oppressor for them,
flower called the silver bell seems to
be the favorite candidate, but the Tar
Heel nhilosophers should scorn flow
ers altogether. Flowers are plutocrats
and aristocrats. "They toil not, neither
do they spin. They have no place
among the "producing classes," and
don't deserve to b3 encouraged by the
North Carolina legislature.
