MARTIAL LAW
Minws Full Armed
Trouble Ahead
and
Wardner, Idaho, May 2. Martial law
will probably be declared within two
days. It is expected that the' union men
will resist to the bitter end any at
tempt on the part of the soldiers to quell
the disorder, as a serious conflict is im
minent. It is believed that five hundred
soldiers, the number asked for by the
Governor, will be sufficient. The Miners'
Union numbers twelve hundred, and all
of them are fully armed with guns taken
from the armory of the military com
panies at Couer D'Alen.
INFORMANT MISTAKEN.
Editor Times-Visitor:
The alleged interview with one of
my friends who stated that I intended
to support the constitutional amend
ment is misleading, purely unauthorized
and unauthentic.
CHARLES N. WILLIAMS.
POLICE FORCE-
Raleigh, X. C, May 2, 18U9.
Mr. Editor:
Will you kindly publish this as a citi
zen? It has been suggested that the old
police force will be abolished and a now
set installed. f
The force, at present, are systemlzed.
To protect our growing city we will
have to have an increased force.
The police force of our city are com
posed of gentlemen; and they are thor
onghly conversant of every detail of our
city, so far as they are concerned.
They have done their duty faithfully
and impartially, and they deserve UK
thanks of onr city of "Duty well per
formed." Look at the rests of import
ant criminals they have arrested? They
have escaped other' cities, bat hav
found lodgiqg places in our Jails.
Our present police, of whom Chief
Norwood is the head, stands superbly
i'n the estimation of our populace.
Our city fathers will look well, if any
contemplated change is made, , before
acting! 7

CROP BULLETIN
.Reports for Last Week Very
Encouraging
For week ending Monday, May 1,
1899.
During the week ending Monday, May
1, 1899, the progress In farm work and.
the growth of crops was rapid and aatla
factory. Only a few unfavorable re
ports were received from the eastern
section of the State. The wear ooeatd
cloudy with showers from the 20th to
the X7th, which were needed, as the
ground was beginning to get dry and
hard. The nalnfaU averaged over half
an inch and Droved to be very beneficial
everywhere except over the coast coun
ties, .where too much rain fell last week.
The ground was nicely softened and
placed in excellent ocndittoq for plow
ing, while the abundant moisture re
freshed vegetation, induced rigorous t
and rapid growth, and will assist mate
rially to secure good stands of cotton
and corn. In Brunswick, New Han
over, Duplin, and neighboring counties
over an inch of rain fell, which was
more than needed; a local downpour
also occurredb in Caldwell and Cabarrus
counties, Patterson reporting 2.85 inches
on the 26th. Some hall occurred with
out doing much damage anywhere. The
mean temperature continued slightly
above the normal the entire week, but
the nights were rather cool, the influ
ence of which was chiefly felt in the
east, owing to the prevailing northeast
winds. An increasing and beneficial
amount of sunshine prevailed the latter
part of the week.
Plowing continued actively during the
week; it is to be feared, however, that
planting in many cases has been hur
ried without sufficient preparation of
the soil.
The corn crop is about half planted,
excluding bottom lands. It has come up
to a good stand in many counties, except
in the southeastern section, and is grow
ing nicely. Planting cotton Is proceed
ing more slowly, but large areas are
now ready to receive the seeds, and the
bulk of the crops will be put in during
the next two weeks. A little cotton Is
up iu the extreme south. Tobacco
ptants in beds look well, and plants al
ready set out are1 making a good start.
In the northwest plants are small and
late, and transplanting has not yet be
gun, though the work is proceeding rap
idly elsewhere. Spring oats has been
.sown and are growing well. Other grains
continue to improve; wheat and fall
oats are beginning to head In southern
counties. Rice is coming np nicely in
the north, but low land and river rice
lands, Cape Fear district are still too
wet to work. Irish potatoes are grow
ing rapidly, only a few reports of rot
ting and poor .stands have been received.
Truck farms are very fine. Early peas
are being shipped from the extreme
south, and are blooming nicely further
north. Strawberries are blooming from
east to west, while shipments of early
fruit to the north continue from the
W. & W. district. Melons are coming
up nicely. The prospects for apples and
cherries seem to be especially good.
Pastures look fresh and green, and clo
ver is very fine.

INSURGENTS
AGAIN ASK
AN ARMISTICE
AguiuaMo's Representatives
Seek Otis
UNCONDITIONAL ONLY
Gen. Otis Telle the Insurgent that it Is
Useless for Them to Ask
For Conditional
Peace.
Manila, Aiay 2. Tho Insurgent Peace
Commission which left Manila Satur
day with the ultimatum given by Gen
eral Otis that the United States would
accept nothing but unconditional sur
render, bos returned with new propo
sitions for a cessation of hostilities.
The same two agents from Aguinaldo
came to the American camp again un
der a flag of truce,' and renewed their
plea for a cessation of hostilities pend
ing a final settlement. It Is believed
that the insurgent leaders are ready to
throw themselves upon the mercy of the
Americans. General Otis will meet tho
commissioners some time today.
SAME PROPOSITION.
The proposition from the insurgents
was in effect tho same as heretofore
made by them, namely that the Ameri
cana grant an armistice until the Fill
pino Congress can meet and decide
whether or not tho Filipino army should
surrender.
AGAIN DECLINED.
General Otis again declined tho pro-
posal, and plainly told Colonel Argulles
that it was useless for the Filipinos to
return to him unless they came prepared
to accede to the American demands,
tie said that the Filipinos must lay
down their arms and surrender before
any conditions, except amnesty, was
granted them.
The Filipino army is known to be In
bad shape. It is believed that the next
step of the leaders will be the total sur
render. DEWEY CABLES.

General Joseph Wheeler Says Wars
Will Go on "As Great Elements of
Civilization."
Pittsburg, April 30. General Joseph
Wheeler while in this city last week
was the guest of honor at an enter
tainmetn given by the Western Associa
tion of the Seventh Pennsylvania Volun
teer Cavalry. He made an address, in
which he spoke on expansion and war.
In part he said:
"No matter how much we progress in
manufactures and commerce, it will be
of no avail unless our young men culti
vate the military spirit. Without it we
can never be a great nation and have
the respect of the world. A nation with
out such respect cannot be a prosper
ous growing and happy people.
It is said that wars are terrible, but
wars are great elements of civilization.
It is a fact that every great war is fol
lowed by an increased progress and
more enlightened civilization. People
need to be waked up.
bere is much talk of disarmament
when all war may be ended, but until
that ie done this country, the greatest
the wealthiest and strongest on earth,
must be prepared to defend that great
ness, and the flag must be carried in the
front rank Into any battle that circum
stance may thrust upon us.
It ie said that war cannot continue
because there will be much slaughter
consequent on the improvement in arms.
Battles are seldom fought in open coun
try, and soldiers will always begin to
fight just as soon as soon as tbey get
within sight and range of their enemies.
In the civil war they generally began at
about 800 yards. In Cuba, although
the rifles carried 2,000 yards, the firing
seldom began until our men were with
in 900 yards of the enemy. With the
improvement in arms the distance will
be greater, but ware will go on.
FAIR AND WARMER.
The weather forecast for Raleigh and
vicinity says: Fair, continued warm
tonight and Wednesday.
The barometer Is below 29.50 inches
on the central Rocky Mountain slope,
while it is slightly above normal
throughout the east. General cloudy
weather prevail from the Mississippi
River westward, with email amount ot
rain at many points. The temperature
la quite high throughout the aouth and
east, with fair weather and southerly
winds, which conditions seem likely to
Continue, since the storm la the west

HERMANS AND
REBELS JUBILANT
Situation in Samoa Becomes
Critical
ACTION OF THE
POWERS CONDEMNED
Hie Order that Hostilities Cease Jepo-
dizes the Safety or the British and
American Residents American
Consul's Store Looted.
Wellington, N. Z. Advices from Sa
moa indicate that instructions have been
received from the Powers to cease hos-
til.ties. This makes the situation on
the islands very serious, as the rebels
now hold the main food supplies, and
are again near the municipality ot
Apia.
Correspondent Reuters thinks that It
evident that the home authorities
misunderstood tho situation in Samoa.
lhe Germans and rebels are already
jubilant, aud claim a victory over tho
British and American forces.
...AN STORE LOOTED.
Unless the rebels are made to submit
the problem remains unsolved and the
white people on the outskirts of the city
are at tho mercy of the rebels.
'lhe American vice consul's store at
Falifa was looted last week, while the
German store adjoining was left un
touched. The Uritish aud American residents
U condemn the action of tho Powers
in ordering a cessation of hostilities at
this stage.
STRONG DEFENCES.
An inspection of the battlefield shows
that the defences erected by the rebels
near the home of Robert Louis Steven
son are strong and well planned.
It is rumored that thirteen boats filled
with rebels are approaching from the
east. Tho town appears safe.

JOURNALS ACCOUNT.
Yesterday's Atlanta Journal says:
"A disturbance occurred last night iu
the church over which the Rev. Dr. L.
G. Broughton presides and considerable
damage to the church building resulted
therefrom. A door of a lavatory was
wrenched from the hinges, the tank In
side the toilet room was torn from its
fastenings, water flooded tne primary
department and a bucket of black paint
was overturned on the floor and added
its darq trail to the wreck in the taber
nacle.
"Dr. Broughton says the damage was
caused by vandals. The motive for the
deed he ascribes to the tact that be has
been shooting some hot shot into the
ranks of the evil doers of late and they
have taken this means to show how true
his aim and how deep the wounds caus
ed by his shells.
The plumbers who were called in
tihs morning to repair the damages to
the church hove an entirely different
theory as to the cause of the damages
from that of the minister. Tbey say
that the flushing tank fell forward of its
own weight, as the fastenings were very
insecure. In falling it struck agninst
the door of the closet, which was within
easy reach of the falling tank. The
tank being heavy and the weight of six
or eight gallons of water being added
to the blow, the door was torn from Its
hinges, which were fastened into thm
white pine boards."
CONSECRATION POSTPONED.
New York, April 27. The consecra
tion of the Rev. J. B. Funston, or
Portsmouth, Va., as Protestant Episco
pal Bishop of Boise, Idaho, and Wyo
ming Missionary Jurisdiction, created
by the last General Convention, which
was to have taken place today, has been
indefinitely postponed.
The outcome of it will be, however,
that there will be a special meeting of
the House of Bishops in this city, and
unless he declines on account of the
hue and cry that has been raised, Rev.
Mr. Funsten will be elected again. That
is what is said here to likely be the re
sult. The hue and cry referred to come
chiefly from the "High Church" party
out West. The party has for Its leaders
Bishop Seymour, of Springfield, and
Bishop Grafton, of Fon du Lac, and
working in close sympathy with them,
though a little less active are Bishop
McLaren, of Chinro, and Bishop Ni
cholson, of Milwaukee. The party is
understood to have opposed the selection
of the Rev. Mr. Funsten in the first
place, not on personal grounds, but be
cause he is a Virginian churchman.
It was sought to get a quorum of
the House of Bishops for a special meet
ing in this city and so re-elect the Rev.
Mr. Funsten, but that was found im
possible at this season of tne year. . .
