DE CLAM THE TRAITOR. i
He analyzed the bordereau clearly and
forcibly, saying that if Dreyfns got the '

PHILIPPINE AGRICULTURE.
Secretary Wilson Sees Great Possibili
ties of Development.
Chicago, Aug. 15. Secretary of Agrl
eultnra James "Wilson, who was in Chi
cago for a few hours yesterday on his
way back to Washington from a West
ern trip, thinks the hilippine Islands
will supply the United States with just
the sort ot tropical area needed by this
country.
Already the Islands have figured val
uably in the world's commerce, having
almost a monopoly of the hemp product
and being renowned for their peculiar
tobacco. The Secretary thinks that the
dairy wealth of the islauds may be
greatly augmented, and thinks the .great
extent of upland should furnish plenty
of grazing surface.
The Secretary reports great prosperity
everywhere in the West. He Is impress
ed with the agtiricultural possibilities of
the West, not the least with those of the
regions considered senuarid and which
will require irrlgaion to develop them.
One of his pet schemes has been tea
culture in the United States. The de
partment has developed the plants at
Washington city in great quantities and
it proposes to distribute in favorable lo
calities some 14,000,000 shrubs. It is
the hope of the Secretary that some
soils and climates will lie found favora
ble to the culture.
The Secretary inspected Innds in
Washiir.'.' u and Oregon that have been
overgnu- d by cattle and neglected to
such a degree that now they are prac
tically a desert. The department has
two experimental spots in Washington,
one at Yakima, in which various grasses,
liotii foreign and domestic, are being
propagated.

DOGS RUN WILD
They Infest Swift Creek Town
ship COMMIT DEPREDATIONS
Poultry and Hogg Killed -Attack a Colt
and a Heifer Orljin of the
Gang of Outlaws.
Swift Creek township is now infested
with wild dogs. They rove in bands
throughout that section and considerable
depradution to property has been com
mitted'. Rev. T. H. Bain, who has the Mace
donia church, says that recently while
he was at Mr. Cary Goodwins, the lat
ter told him how the section was in
flicted by these dogs. Tliey can lie
heard almost every nigh riminiim
through the wood and fields. Recently
aiiotit dusk Mr. Goodwin saw a pack
of those wild dogs pursuing his colt
through the meadow. He got his gun
and fired on the pack, killing two, and
the rest fled.
Another gentleman in that section saw
a pack after a young heifer ot his, am)
succeeded in killing two of them.
Many have lost poultry and hogs from
these wild dogs.
The presence of these wild dogs is ac
counted for by the fact that many col
ored people moved from that section a
few years since and left their curs be
hind. These dogs were driven froau
house to house until they have taken
up in the woods. Their ancestors were
every species of canine, ranging from
pohrter, bull dog and the wall-eyed
hound to the licnch-leggcd fico, bill those
dogs are rcvertimtjp the original wild
species from which they are descended.
Mr. Goodwin not long since found
nine puppies in un old hollow hug in the
,woim1s like oosstMiis. He caught the
nine and curried them to his house.
They were perfectly wild.
TEN MORE REGIMENTS ORDERED
Washington, August 17 An order
was issued at the War Department to
day directing ten additional regiments
of infantry volunteers to lie organized
for service ill the Philippines.
THE DANVILLE SENSATION.
City Officials Denounce Reiwrt of Ex
port Boudar.
! Danville, Va., Aug. 15. The City
Council had a noisy meeting this after
noon. Most of the time was taken up
1 discussing tile report of H. B. Boudar.
expei t accountant, whose report to the
council reflecting upon the official in
tegrity of sundry officers was made last
j Wednesday. Mayor Wooding submitted
a lengthy communication to the coun
' til, defending his office against the asper-
sums in the expert's report. He con
tends that the expert was ignorant of the
I law governing a mayor's office, hat h
I stwtcnientB are misleading and untrue
i and concludes as follows: "I have thus
' gone over with some detail the criticism
and suggestions of Mr. Boudnr's re-
I port in order that you may understand
that they were made by him without suf
ficient investigation into the facta on
; which he relies, and the ignorance of the
laws which control the Mayor in the
discharge of his duties.
"I feel that the report does ni-, as
Mayor, great injustice, while I am con
fident that the duties of my office have
been discharged fully and faithfully un
der the taw and ordances of the city
I shrink from no investigation by com
petent and impartial men, and I sub
wit thut justice to me and yourselves
requires that ou give o this statement
the same publiciy given o the Boudar
report."
Green Williams, chief of police, sub
mitted a similar paper, showing that
the expert had treated him unfairly, and
instead of being in arrears many dol
lars. as the expert reports, he really
owes the ?ity only 90 cents.
William Ayres, city collector, also
submitted a strong paper, in which he
maintains that every dollar of the city'i
i iinds which have ever paased throiqrl
his hands has been paid into the treas
ury. He denounces the expert's report
and demands full investigation.
The discussion in the council was
lengthy and at times warm. Some of
the speeches were bitter. The entire
community Is wrought up over, this af-
fair, and opinion is divided. Much bad
blood is being shown and the whole, busi
ness may becoma a more or lea excit
ing local political Issue.

READING CHARACTER
Dr. Kranz and Dr. Bu if aloe Visft
the Jail
CLASSIFIED PRISONERS
Dr. Kranz Readily Picked Out Joyncr as
a Murderer -Says Tom. Smith
is Excitable and
Nervous.
Mr. H. R. Kraw., a German phrenol
ogist nnd physicologieal mind render,
who is in the city with his family stop
ping nt the Branson House, today visit
ed the county jail in company with Dr.
A. J. Buffalot, who is a pupil of Dr.
Kranz, and made an examination of the
prisoners confined there.
Dr. Kranz is an exjiert in his line,
and had no difficulty in classifying the
inmates of the jail.
While he did not express himself be
fore the prisoners, yet. without the least
difficulty, lie pointed out the only mur
derer now in jail from hi companions,
and told the jailer his crime. This pris
oner was the negro Joyner, who lias
confessed to the horrible murder of a
store kivpcr in Pitt county, and the 1
subsequent burning of his store.
Dr. Kranz also alwerved Tom Smith,
the Johnston county negro, who is
charged with stabbing two white men
in a fight, and remarked that Smith was
not a criminal, but is of a very ex
citable nature.
The white woman, Rosa HoImmi, who
is in jail for violating the internsil rev
enue laws, did not receive a very Hatter- j
ing judgment. The decision was that
she is entirely deficient in respect for '
hcr-clf ami for the laws of her land. i
Dr. Kranz is giving private lessons
in pliysicnlogy and phrenology and Dr. '
Biiffnloc is much interested in this sub
ject. He and Dr. Kranz have visited the
hospital for the insane and the jail and
will go to other institutions of this
character.
Dr. Kranz is nu exicrt in this science
lid an extremely interesting eonvcrsa-
malist. He studies his pupils, tells
them their chnracter,- ind even imiier
sonatos them, mimicking them in gait
nd general demeanor.

his friends, came near running against
a party of young ladies who were saying
good-bye to a friend who was leaving

BITTEN BY POISON ANTS.
Experiences of Salvation Army Girls in
Moyamenging.
Philadelphia Record.
In view of the vast Importance of the
questions Involved, the possibilities are
that it will be some days yet before
Judge McCarthy will announce his de
cision in the Salvation Army cases.
Owing to the fact that be is at pres
ent engaged in disposing of criminal
cases. Judge McCarthy hea not yet had
an opportunity of examining the scores
of decisions and authorities submitted
by counsel at the hearing on Mon
day. """H
There was quite a gathering in court
the decision would be handed down,
yesterday of those who expected that
the decision would be handed down.
Mr. Graham was not In attendance, but
there were a number of Salvationists
and their sympathisers. Among these
were the three lassies who aremost di
rectly interested Lieutenants Ida Krew
heck, Adelaide Robins end Ada Ballia
who were committed to prison in de-
rnuu ' nan, ana wnose cases were
the subject of the argument before the
court on Monday.
When told that it was hardly likely a
decision would be rendered yesterday
they seemed somewhat disappointed.
Asked how the viewed tie outcome,
they inclined to the belief that the mat
ter would be decided in their favor. All
three of the girls Involuntarily shuddered
nt the very thought of a return to the
prison cell. They asserted with great
earnestness that no one could realise
much less appreciate, the agony and dis
tress, both physically and mentally,
they had undergone during their two
weeks' incarceration.
Holding up a badly swollen hand,
Lieutenant Robins said: This is the
result of my encounter rith the ant
at the prison. My entire body ia In the
same condition." She went on to say
that she had been almost constantly an
tler the care of a physician since re "
gaining her liberty. While not In such
a bad state physically aa their compan
ion, the other two girls said their ex
perience een practically the same.-.
In taking dr departure the girls aald
the uncertainty of the matter was very p
trying, and while they were not fear- -
fnl of the result, still they would be
glad if tbe entire thing waa at an end.
