BY JOHN E. MONK.
Washington, P. G, Xov. 19. Tlio
delegates to the Central American
Poaco Conference, now meeting in
Washington, are looking for a "big
stick." They have become, convinced, it
is said, tbnt nothing will bo move po
tential in preventing revolutions and in
tcrnaeiue warfare than a knowledge on
the part of their neighbors that some
where, in strong hands, is a. weapon
similar to that which Mr. llooscvelt ad
vises well-disposed folk-to carry.
. Naturally each of the republics inter
ested wouid like to wield this weapon
of authority., Obviously this is impos
sible, and sothe delegates will direct
their efforts to have this international
mace placed where it will do the most
good. Possibly it may be handed over
to Mr. Boosevclt and his successors. It
may be entrusted to President Diaz, of
Mexico, or it may be lodged jointly with
the President 'of this country ; and
Mexico.
Treaties of peace, amity, commerce,
navigation, etc., are not novel proposi
tions among the five republics of Central
America. Such treaties have been 'ne
gotiated in the past and it would, not
bo ditlirult to conclude a similar pact at
this time. ln opening the pence confer

Hoot emphasized the importance of de

Little children stood in the lobbies

Unprecedented scenes were enacted
in the Senate chamber of the historic
eapitol of Alabama today, when the
statutory prohibition bill was passed.
Women and children thronged the cor
ridors and gallery, and even usurped the
floor itself, pushing the senators from
their seats, and giving vent to their en
thusiasm by shouts and cheers that
echoed and reechoed through the building.-

Senators who opposed the 'bill were
hissed down when they arose to speak
against the measure, and Lieutenant
Governor Gray, the presiding officer of
the Senate, was forced to reprove the
spectators.
The statutory prohibition bill, which
was passed today was in the nature of
a compromise between the antls and pro
hibitionists. The antis seeing they were
in the minority, agreed to give up the
iijrht provided the time was extended to
' January 1, 1900, when the sale of whisky

Raleigh, X. C, Nov. 19. Will there

body, during a long drawn out session,
finally just before adjournment allowed
motion for' further' action to be with
drawn so that the whole mntter of hold

previous meeting, was left in abeyance
because of the refusal of one alderman,
J. Sherwood Upchurch, to concede unan
imous consent for a suspension of the
rules governing the board so that the
aldermen could proceed with the adop

The interest in the question of im

Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. -'T am so

defendant in the trial now in progress
in the Criminal Court in this city, a
'few minutes before three o'clock today,
after she had spent about four hours

Columbia, S. C, Nov, 19. 'Hie ninth
annual convention of the Southern As
sociation of Commissioners of Agricul
ture and Agricultural Workers did not
begin its sessions until 3.30 this af
ternoon, owing to delayed trains'. from
the north and west.
The meeting was called to order by
the" president. Commissioner K. .J. Wat
son, of South Carolina, who 'introduced
Governor Ansel, of this state, Governor
Ansel delivered a ringing address of wel
come, in which he laid great, stress on
the vital importance of agriculture for
the south. His remarks were vigorously
applauded.
The response to the address of wel
come was made by Commissioner .lolm
Thompson, of Tennessee, 'who delivered
a strong address, in which lie laid great
stress upon the importance of primary
and intermediate agricultural education,
with a view to the keeping of the farm
ers' sons on the farm. He said that if
cotton were eliminated from the south
today her place in the agricultural pic
ture of tho world would bo 'obliterated.
He urged the education of the youth of i
tile innu io me ena unit i no soiuir

climate in the raising of the south's

Federal Aid For Instruction.
At the conclusion of Commissioner
Thompson's address President Watson
read a letter from ' Congressman Davis,
of '.Minnesota, who has a bill pending in
Congress .'providing for federal aid for
intermediate agricultural instruction
throughout the country. The subject
matter of the letter, after a brief dis
cussion, was referred to the committee
on resolutions, and there' seems to ho
no doubt that a strong indorsement will
be given tho Davis bill,
f After the report of various commit
tees and officers President Wutson de
livered his annual address. His remarks
were very plnin, dealing with tho abso
lute necessity for the opening of trans-
Atlantic navigation from the cotton belt
to the nearest ports of the consumers of
southern cotton. lie dealt with the
present financial situation and the effort
to depress the price of cotton. He de
nounced in unmeasured terms the meth
ods employed to produce an artificial
financial situation having the effect of
driving down the price of cotton, and
urged the elimination of the cotton
gnmbler by means of putting the south's
staple on direct export.
Immigration Policy Defined.
He dealt fully with the subject of im
migration to 'the south, recounting the
experiences loading to the remodeling of
the federal laws, maintaining that the
chnnges . made had not bettered condi
tions" from n national standpoint; but
had resulted in a larger influx of unde
sirables, and declaring that the policy
originally outlined in South Carolina, in
selecting the immigrant at his own homo
for the purpose for which his service arc
desired, was the only policy promising
any -.material relief. He urged the
amendment of federal laws so ns to re
tain the right of a-stato- to select the
immigrant at his own home under fed
eral supervision. ' - - ,
He also urged tlie value and neces

SO SAYS NEIL ELLINGTON,
HEAD OF CLEARING-HOUSE
Recovery Comes By Degrees and Will
First Be Had In Financial Centers,
Thence Spreading Over Entire Country
and Causing It To Forget Difficulty.
"Any action 'taken by. the government
in releasing the boards of money now
unnecessarily-' tied up. is certainly to be
commended, from whrtcver viewpoint it
may be corsidercd.-..The' floatation of
the Panama .bonds--and the issuance of
certificates is a slop in the right dircc
t ion. not only from the relief afforded
the .-money market diieetlv. lint also as
moans for the full restoration of public
confidence."
These are the words of- Cantnin Neil
i Kllincrton. president of the Greensboro
National Jiank, and also occupying the.
same position with- the Greensboro
clearing house. Ho was speaking to a -representative
"mi" the Daily Industrial
. News, after -banking hours yesterday, af
ternoon, and just before the daily meet -ing
of the clearing-house committee.
Continuing, Captain Kllingtnn said:
' I met a business man from X'ew

posed to accept the situation gracefully
and make the best of it. He also said
that it will lo sonic time before the re
lief afforded by the government would

by this that it will 'be necessary to ad
just matters in 'the, financial centers be-,
fore anything can be done for the
smaller cities and towns. I infer from
what lie said that the relicfi will conn

government, and I am also inclined to
believe that he. knew or was in a posU
(ion to anticipate the action to be taken
by the govornnient in -reference to the :
I onds and rortilicalo issues.
"One thing is very certain, in in v
opinion, at least. This is that: tho bonds :

need be no farther difficulty whatever,
since all thnt is needed is n building up

come when currency once more is in ac
