Mr. Willis Brlggs, the local editor of the '"basted" Tribune will do special work in the interest of the State Fair; An expert printer has looked into the property of the Tribune and says that f 1,000 will more than cover the unen cumbered property of the paper. Judg ments for 680 more were taken out yes terday. The Y. M. 0. A. wheel club made its Brat run of the season yesterday. A ban ner was carried by the club and they made a long and pleasant run. Two.of the new electrio cars arrived yesterday and men will be here before Sunday when they will be put on the track. On that day all the employees will don handsome grey uniforms. The racing at the State Fair will be very fine this year. The Fair date has been so arranged that it is right in line with the grand circuit of Maryland, Vir ginia and South Carolina, and the purses are so much bigger accounts for the out look for flue racing. Governor Russell has decided that un less the oyster patrol steamer Lily is iu actual demand for patrol use, - it can be used by the naval reserves at Wilmin ton thus saving the State much expense of keeping It. She was built for a rich gentleman north as a pleasure boat. Some of the Stato banks are making returns to the State Treasury and are giving the par instead of the actual value of their shares. Governor Russell orders a special term of Transylvania Court June 28, Judge Norwoodto preside, and also one of Bun combe July 13, Judge Timberlakc to pre side. Both are for civil cases. State Auditor Ayer says that although the Supreme couit delayed, its decision in the property and poll tax matter the blanks will get to the registrars and tax collectors iu ample time. The poll and property tax is the same as in 1895. CUBAN AFFAIRS. Hick TmlM :i Hull rid. (Mwdl to Qm. L... Thej Heard That he Had Mamr Clv ihe Paor. Madrid Extreme tension continues between the political parties. The Heraldo, defending Senor Sagasta against the ioslnuationi made by the conservatives, frankly exposes the d olorabls military situation in Uuba. The Heraldo says the whole district of Gama- iruev is In the power of the rebels; that thers is only one Spanish column to oper ate over 81.000 square miles and that in the whole of the eastern regions in Cuba the Spanish troops have never yet set toot. It callsthe alleged pacification of Cuba a comedy. ' The same paper further insinuates that menage purporting to bo from Senor Dupuy de Lone protesting against Senor Sagasta speeches because of the effect produced in the United States. were written by conservatives In Madrid. Premlor Canovas' attitude has been as was piedlcted. Ills words in Parliament regarding the supreme necessities of the fatherland were: "I shall govern the country as It has been governed Defore, and as I myself governed It before, lthout the aid of minorities.''

Ilavemeyer, president of the American Sugar Refining Company, for refusing to answer a question propounded by the Senate Sugar Investigating Committee iu the spring of 1894, has begun before Judge Bradley. No trouble was exper ienced in securing a; jury, only three peremptory challenges being made by the defence, and none by the prosccu- rtlon . District Attorney Davis conducted the case for the Government, and Nathaniel Wilson, John G. Johnson, of Philadelphia, and John E. Parsoim, of New York, appeared for the defence. Elverton It. Chapman, the New York sugar broker, who is serving a thirty days' sentence in the District jail for the offence for which Havcmycr is being tried, was present as a witness, but did not testify. The witnesses wcro the file clork of the Senate, the committee's tcnographers, and Senators Gray, Lodge, Davis, and Lindsay, who were on the Investigating Committer, The line of defence, as disclosed is that the ques tion asked, which looked to the pro duction of data ns to tho political con- tributions of the sugar company, to State and local elections, w3 not pertinent to the inquiry. This was shown by the repeated de velopment of the fact that Mr. Have- meyer answered the question as to the national campaign, and as to the election of United States senators before the Legislature. This line of defence was anticipated somewhat by the District Attorney. Coimderable stress was also placed on the attempt of the defence to show that Senator Allen's question which Mr. Havcmcyer declined to an swer) was an individual and nrt a com niittee question, but the testimony went to prove the query was propounded by the direction of the committee.
