Dr. Abbott and the Li. R. Commis
sioners told the clerk of the Commission,
Mr. Brown, last week to issue subpoenas
for certain persons who were interested
in hotels along the lines of the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line to
appear before the Commission on the 17th
and testify as to any reduction that the
railroads had made them, or interested
in hotels. There had been such severe
comment upon the Southern for the re
duced rates said to have been granted the
Round Knob Hotel, that Dr. Abbott
wauted a full Investigation as to oilier
hotels on other lines. Dr. Abbott re'
turned to Huleigh late So turday afternoon
It was near midnight when he found
that Mr. Brown was prcp.irins the sul-
pcenas according to his (Abbott's) orders.
When Pearson, one of Russell's tools,
came in and told him not to send out
those capers until he returned. He went
immediately to see Russell and returned
to order that the subpoenas be not issued.
Dr. Abbott says that Russell and his
men are tryiug to stifle investigation.
ow one Commissioner 1ms as much
power to issue orders as another, Ur.
Abbott declures that Pearson is guilty of
great piece ot impertinence. The
governor has (lectured mat u Abbott
opposes him any more that he will re
move him from office. It is believed by
many that if Russell attempts to do this
that lie will be impeached. That there
a certain limit, beyond which the peo
ple, even Ills own party with its fusion
supporters will not allow him to go is
very evident. Once before in the history
of the State, a governor W. W. Holden,
icd lo ride rough shod over the people
aud Impeachment followed. There is a
very big majority of the people who will
welcome almost anything that has im
peachment of Governor Russell in sight.
The reward of $10 for the arrest of I he
miscreant who defaced the Confederate
Monument" has been increased to f 50.
Mr. W. C. Stronach offered the $10 and
now different gentlemen have gone to
him and requested to be allowed to con
tribute to the i award.
Wheeler Morton succeeds Bernard as
Solicitor and it is said that Oscar J.
Spears will be appointed as assistant Dis
trict Attorney, and that the negro, Ed
Johnson, will be office assistant in Ber
nard's office here.
Last night Rev. Dr. Pittenger delivered
an address on "American Missions in
China." He had prepared a map and
illustrated his lecture by this means,
Miss Susie Kirwin of the Wilber Opera
House Troupe, that plays a week's en
gagcmenl here this week, says, if, after
looking into the sitoalion'shc thinks it
wise plan, she will begin at once work
on a nrst class Opera House or this
place. Surely no place needs such
building so much as does Raleigh.
A list of portraits that adorn the walls
of the Supreme court room was given
short time agn. Now Mr. Randall, the
artist lias received an order to paint one
of ex-Judge William Pricton Bynum, to
be presented to the court. Judge Bynum
was on the Supreme court bench when
Judge Pearson was Chief Justice.
'The Raleigh and Capo Fear railroad
is to be the name of the new road that is
to be constructed between Raleigh and

It Is now learned t'.iat this fine (?) ad

Mount Ice company with $18,000 capital

he does not expect convicts to be em
ployed there on a large scale.
There is undoubtedly a lot of offices for
somebody here, when the commission
meets on Thursday unless Drr Abbott
shows he is willing to let Governor Rus
sell ride rough shod over him.
There is very little cotton to be bought
here now for the home mills take most
all of it. The State now consumes its
own crop, and what is sent out is often
bought or else cotton from elsewhere is
sent in the Statu.
The Republican backers of Harry
Skinner say his only hope politically is
to fuse with the Democrats, but the
Democrats decline the honor, without
even extending Skinner thanks lor the
idea.

His Friend Think Tbnt I'rliulnnls
Have Been Bribed lo Mnlm or Kill
Him,
Paris, February 13, The question of
M. Zola's personal safety is seriously ex
ercising his friends, who assert that
several notorious criminals have been
seen hovering about the court building
throughout the week. It is suggested
that they have been lavishly bribed to
injure M. Zola seriously, even if they do
kill him.
The grave feature of the situation is
the incursion of mob law inside and out
side the Palais de Justice. Every dwell
ing of the Rothschilds is guarded as if it
were a powder magazine.
It is expected that the trial will be con
cluded on Thursday next. It appears
that there are certain flaws in the pro
ceedings which may entitle M. Zola to
appeal to the Supreme Court.
In the Chamber of Deputies several
members sought to revive the Dreyfus
discussion, but the minister for war.
General Billot, and the premier, M.
Meline, urged that the interpellation be
deferred until the trial of 51. Zola and
Porreau is finished.
Numerous meetings were held in the
provinces today in connection with the
Dreyfus agitation. In some cases resolu
tions agaiust the government were
adopted, but there were no serious dis
orders. .

Washington, February 13 The great

Finally, the local authorities in Alabama
appealed to the supervising surgeon
general of the marine hospital Bervicc.
Dr. Wyman immediately dispatched
Assistant Surgeon itiagruder, with thirty
odd assistants, to the infected territory,
near Birmingham. At the suggestion of
the United States officials the mine
owners and superintendents joined in
notice to the miners that employment
would no longer he given unless they
they consented to be vaccinated.
The surgeon-general has just received
a report from Dr. Magruder that in a lit

Wasiiinoton, February 14 The y is
filled with rumors of the coming action
of a most serious nature I y the United
States regarding Spaiu and Cuba.
Every Republican member of the House
has received a special notification to be
in his seat when the Williams resolution
cames up for a vote.
The Williams resolution calls on Presi
dent McKiuley for information regarding
the situation iu Cuba. The resolution was
uuanimously reported to the House by
the committee ou Foreign Affairs. It was
feared that an attempt would be made
In the House to amend the resolution,
hence it was reported at once.
It is believed by careful observers that
the President will be driven to action by
the force of circumstances anil the spirit
which is growing not to submit longer U
the insolence of Spain.
The President has given no sign of his
intentions and no message has been re
ceived by Congress from him on the sub
ject.
The fact as revealed in the last cable
from Minister Woodford that Spain lias
not disavowed the language used by di
Lome is causing high feeling, and the
desire among members of Congress that
a demand be made upon Spain for an
apology.
An embarrassing complication to the
President and his otlicial family is the
condition of Secretary of State John
Shermau. His mental condition has be
come such that his adviee is not asked
on important questions.
Since the de Lome atfair has come up
the situation has become especially (lis-
tressing. Secretary Sherman was not
consulted at any time in regard to the
nffair, Assistant Secretary Day managing
all the official business while the Cabinet
officer remained moid in the (I nk re
guiding the crisis than half the people of
Washington.
If the wishes and entreaties of his
friends are of any avail it is believed that
Secrctarv Sherman will resign inline
diately. ' He may do so in a day
two.
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, a member of
the Foreign committee, says: '-The in
cideut should not be allowed to end wit
the acceptance by SDain of the Minister
resignation. We should have an apology.
The offense of Minister dc Lome was a
serious one. In my judgment the time
has come for something aftinmtive, posi
tive and conclusive to be done by Ihe
United States. Christianity, morality,
humanity, patriotism and the spirit of
liberty, all combine to demand that we
intervene to put an end lo an atrocious
struggle. We must answer for all the
pillag", waste, rapine, butchciy and
starvation that may ensue from this lime
in Cuba.''
