Madrid, Dec. 81. The cold-l looded murder of Col.

It is rumored iu Shanghai that the lirilish intend to occupy Tallen-Wun, south .of Port Arthur, in order to guard the Gulf of Pe-Chl Li and Tokio. It is rumored thai a large Russian military force In coming overland from Siberia. According to a special dispatch from Shanghai, the Iiritish squadron will make a demonstration at C'he-Foo, on the north coast of the Shan-Tung pro montory, as a warning, it is supposed, that Great Britain intends to oppose the division of China without consulting her. It is reported that there Russia has of fered China a loan to pay off the indem nity of the war with Japan, and it is be lieved, says thedispntch, that Japan mid K iglnnd are acting in concert to pre- rve China from disintegration, favor ing tiie idea of a protectorate over Central China, with a c.ipitol at Nauk-iog. The Cologne Oaxctte has cmbaroste.1 the government by declaring that the other powers would soon follow the ezaoiple of Gcimany and Russia, now that the partition of China had actually commenced. Other papers have ex pressed opinions in a similar vein. It lias been hinted that Prince Henry's destination is another point that Klao thou, and that lie will receive the su preme command in the China seas. A special dispatch from Brest says tbe French cruiser Jean Bart has been ordered to proceed immediately lo China.

Murder at Unrner. Honda Are Worthless. Treasury Statement. Journal BrREAf, ) Ralkioh, N. O , Dec. 23. i Coventor Russell was in a particularly pardoning humour yesterday. He grunt ed pardons to two men, ;Prcstn Ar drews of Alleghany and Robert Dough erty of Buncombe for man slaughter and commuted the death sentence of Kiley Pate of Yancey county to life imprison ment in the penitentiary. In the office of the Secretary of Stale many applications for land grants were received on yesterday. State Geologist Holmes was here yes terday returning lo Chapel Hill. He had been at the Castle Hayne State farm in vestigating the recent find of phosphate rock there, which he finds to be of a very fiuc quality. The new superintendent of the peni tentiary will take charge on January 1st. It was proposed for n called meeting of the board to lie held Dec. 31st, so as to lay down lines for In in to walk by, bul that idea was abandoned, and there will be no meeting until I he regular lime January 17. Thus the new man will go in uninstrueted. There is considerable question here as to who will be made janitor of the post office building. It will probably be a negro and it is said that the new Collec tor Duncan will probably give it to a New Berne negro. Messrs Caldwell and Pearson, Russell's appointees for seats on the It. It. Com mission bench came down yesterday to catch the decision of the Supreme court, in their right to the places, "on the fly" but no decision (lew and no more will fly until in Febtuary, Mr. Spencer Blackburn, the representa tive spent yesterday in the city. He is jubilenl over his assured appointment as assistant district attorney of the West. It is now said that upon the retirement of Judge R. P. Dick from the l, S. Judgeship Unit Senator Pritcliurd will succeed him and Lusk of Buncombe go to the Senate as Pritclmrd's successor. Should Pritcliurd fall into the place of U. S. Judge there will be at least one very disappointed man, fur Judge Douglass of the N. C. Supreme court bench has been hoping he would succeed Judge Dick. Yesterday afternoon at (lamer a sma'l station 6 miles from here, two negro nun were quarreling when n knife was drawn and the other seized an ax and brained Ins enemy. He then surrendered, and will be brought here for trial. He was acting in self defense, bo those seeing the trouble report. 1 he Supreme court yesterday tiled an opinion in the caso of commissioners of Stanly county vs Snuggs regarding the validity of the Yadkin Railway bonds of $100,000. The opinion says that the com missioncra were not authorized to issue these bonds to build the road. The judg ment of the lower court was affirmed and the 9100,000 bonds are worthless. Most of them aro held in New York. The University has gotten 0,000 worth of them. The following statement of the State's Financial condition Is given out by the legislative board. Total receipts fur Fiscal year were 1,808,001.81. The dis burscments were $1,294,725.24. The bal snco on bsnd for year ending November 1808 was $88,858 08. This, added lo re ceipts ending November 1807, make the tola! resources of the State $1,897,044.84 This all left in the treasury November 80lh, 1807, 102,319.60. December 1st the Auditor Issued penitentiary warrants amounting to 103,000 so the treasury is by uo means flush. The treasurer has re futed to pay so far some of the leglsla tive appropriations. Auditor Ayer says of the report that If the receipts of 1808 equal those of 1807 all the extra appro priations can be made in full and leave a balance on hand November 1898 of nearly 100.000. Tbe present administration is well plessed with the condition of thing. The Supreme court decides that the tale of tbe Western N. C. It. R. to the Southern R. B.. is not valid until I he Southern, which is a foreign corporation, lakes out a license In this Stale. This decision comet out of the trial to try and recover 15,000 damages from the Wes tern N, C. for the killing of a man. The question vu If the suit should not have been brought sgsinst tbe Southern as the owner of ths Western N. C. B. U. The news that Albright Is to be post master of Wilmington, If true Is only another slap of Senator Prltchard at Governor Rnstell, Aa Insurance agent writes Secretary of Stale Thompson that hs knows uoll censed companies doing business la the Bute but will not give the nsmesfor fear of hurting his business.

New Yobk, Dec. 21, In a letter to the Herald, Thomas Estrada Pulma, Cuban ile'egate to the United Slates, defends the action of the insurgents in executing General Blanc-.'a aide, Colonel Kuiz. He says: "The death of Colonel Ruiz did not occur as t'.e Spanish have put it, while he was negotiating ns a peace messenger under a flag of truce. Ag;iin and again hive the Cubans promulgated the law that all who should come to them with peace propositions not bnseil on the in dependence of Cuba should be treated as spies and dealt with accordingly . Colo nel Ruiz not only knew of the existence of the law, bul, according to the Spanish accounts, was personally warned as to his fate." FOVDER Absolutely Pure REPORT OF CONDITION OF Till!
