RALEiQH,Jan H It lathe comment
f Masons that there has never been an
oration delivered before the Orand
Lodge superior t that by E. W. Pea on
"The True Spirit of Uasealo Life." ,
At the meeting of the Qrand Lodge
yesterday the committee -reported on the
orphanage and it was ordered that $8,000
be paid to the orphanage from. the Grand
Lodge funds. Charters were granted
three new lodges at Red Springs, Ral
eigh and Cookvllle, and the' lodge at
Carthage was restored.' The Oiand
Lodge was specially Invited to meet next
year at Wilmington, bat declined with
thanks, and will meet here as usual. lf
One of the moat interesting reports
was that of Jebn A. Collins, ef the com
mittee on foreign correspondence. It
dwelt largely on negro Masonry, and
says the Masonlo world has been excited
by the deplorable action taken by the
Orand Lodge ef the State of Washing
ton, which was induced to take up' and
support negro Masenry; but that the
Grand Lodge of Washington has receded
from tl.e position It was persuaded to
take up and allgaed Itself with all ether
grand lodges la repudiation of till, "ma
lodorous .heresy"; thai all lodges like
those of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, etc., long ago. settled the
question of negro Masonry and denoune
ed It as spurleus and fraudulent.
The Grand Lodge elected Beverly S
Uoystor, of Oxford, grand master;: H. 1.
Clark, of Tarboro, deputy grand, master;
Walters: Ltddell, of Charlotte, senior
grand warden; '-Francis D. Winston, of
Wlodser, junior grand warden; William
Simpson,, of ilialelgb, grand treasurer;
johu O. Drewry, of Raleigh,. grand aec-
ralariMeedham B, Brougkton, of Ral-
Igb, was elected by acclamation to sue
cued himtolf as director of the .Oxford
Orphan sge for five years.
The Masons are called on to pay $4,-
100 which they have not paid, although
t was subscribed for the new bul.dlugi
at the; Oxford Orphanage, The latter
has that much debt, having, in its conff-
dence that the aoney subscribed . would
be paid, borrowed It from a bank at
Oxford. The Masons will raise the
money. Masons are deeply gratified at
the very large attendance at the Grand
Lodge. -
Governor Russell say a that while little
additional evidence Is being sent in re
garding the Ress case at Lumberton, his
4-oplulon now It that the law will take its
course, which means that. Rosa will be
hanged tomorrow. , '
As yet the, penitentiary authorities
hate never called on the Stale Treasurer
for the bonds wherewith to pay for the

In Company K. First North. Carolina,
tn the war with Spain, yesterday after-
aeon attempted suicide, using morphine,

the ItospllaL . Drink and crime were the
causes of his desperation, v
Rev. 3. Wt Jenklni, who Is made by
the Methodist Conference lbe general
agent of the orphanage at Raleigh has
moved bore to make this oily his honw
lie will do very active work in collecting
for the orphanage. It Is a pleasure to be
able to say that contributions continue
to come In, ThcMeihodlsls have their
heart In the work, and when spring
comes the buildings will be pushed.
The penitentiary directors ' did not
elect a new executive board. . They de
ferred that to the last day. The time
was spent mainly in receiving reports
and commenting thereon..- The farm
supervisors on the Caledonia,' Pope and
Tillery farms, discharged by Superinten
dent Day, claim 91,400. Tbe matttrwas
referred to a committee. Day's report Is
more a balance sheet than anything else.
It is of Utile practical value to the di
rectors. The cotton crop Is found 10 be
1,108 bales. f - ' ,

GENERAL EARLY'S LEVY.

Frederick, Hd. . .
WisniNQTON, January. 10 Senator
Wellington, introduced a bill today to
refund to the city of Frederick, Md., the
sum of $100,000 levied by General Jubal
A. Early, Ihe noted Confederate, com
mander, when he had possession of the
cKylnlSfl.
The bill recites that Frederick was a
loyal town and was entitled to protec
tion from the general government; that,
failing to receive such protection, the
town fell Into tbe hands of General
Early, who demanded The payment ef
$300,000, falling which he proposed to
burn and pillage the town. The money
was paid by lha citizens, and Mr. Wei
lineton wants it refunded. The tame-
bill was fntioduced in the House by
itepresentatlre Pearre. ".

" Llpton Will Defer Challenge.
LoHDOtr, January 10 Sir Thomas Lip.
ton has finally decided that be will not
Issue a challenge for the America's cup
for 1001 hef ore August of tbtt year at
the earliest. '- "
His own authority Is given for stating
that two reasons Influenced this decision
In the first place It Is not settled ' who
will design the. new challenger.- Many
British yachtsmen, friends of Sir Thomas
Llploni advised him to write to Mr.
Watson to try his hand. . Others say Mr.
Fife should have another chanoe. Sir
Thomas Llpton himself it Inclined to the
latter course. , r
The second reason Is that no one In
England now cares or thinks about any
thing but the war and Its consequences.
Sir Thomas Llpton leaves . London on
Friday to join the steam yacht Erin at
Marseilles for a Mediterranean cruise,

Only News From South Africa is
Arrival of Roberts and Kitchener.
General Bnller Now Under tka Di
rection of Roberta. Firing on
Lady smith Continues.
, ? American Floor ,
' "Released.
-. Loirooir, Jan. 10 The most Imporiani
development in the South African war
tonight is that Generals Roberts and
Kitchener have reached Cape Town. .
Until the new commander-in-chief has
formulated a new plan of campaign, and
until substantial reinforcements arrive,
It is not expected that any great progress
will be made by the British. The sub
ordinate generals are at a standstill be
cause of fanlty strategy and because the
forces on the spot are Inadequate, and
neither defect can be remedied at once.
General Buller, If his preparations had
been eonplete, might hve at t:. eked on
Saturday when Ladysmllh was' assailed
or on he following Sunday without giv
ing ground for the suggestion that he
wished to make a stroke before tbe ar
rival of the new commander-in-chief.
But he could not have fought yesterday
or Monday without leaving himself open
to that Imputation. .
London, Jan. 10 The Dally Telegraph
has received the following dispatch from
South Africa:
Frere Camp, Natal, Jan. 8. Firing
from the Boer positions around Lady
smith began early today and still con
tinues, but the cannonading is light and
irregular. v
The British naval gunt at Cheveley
sent three shells again this morning Into
the Colenso lines.
The Daily Mall has received the fol
lowing dispatch:
- Frere Camp, Natal, Jan. 8 With ike
exception of the usual shelling, of the
Boer position by the naval guns, the
foice here remained inactive today.
Natives state on Saturday, when the
British: recounoilered at Colenso,- the
Boers hurried - from Springfield. This
supports -the belief that the defense of
Colenso was weakened in order to rein
force the attack on Ladyamilb,
London, January. 10. The American
flour which was seized off Delaqoa bay
by British cruisers has been released.
The British autheritiea have released
the German steamer Ilorzog, which was
seized Jtnuary 6 while on her way to
Lorenxo Marquex.
