MORGAN DEFENDS CAROLINA..
Says Her White Hen Shall Rot Be Degrad
ed By Regro Equality. .
Cdaui-ottk, N. C, January 17 Sena
tor Morgan, of Alabama, has replied to
the resolution recently passed by the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Mecklenburg county thanking birn foi
speech against Senator Priichard's reso
lution In the United Stale Senate de
claring the proposed amendment to - the
North Carolina constitution unconstitu
tional. . Senator Morgan writes In pan
aa follows: '
The veneration in which all true
Americans hold the 'birthplace of Amer
ican Independence' and the honor that
belongs to the race of men who first de
clared our independence, impress me
with the moat sincere gratitude for your
approyal of my effort to restore to them
the great heritage bequeathed to the-a
by their fathers. ,
"It is not becoming in the decendants
of such men voluntarily to submit their
political destiny to the' condition of
equality with the negro race, and there
is no legal compulsion that requires of
them such dangerous and depraving hu
miliation, 'v' ,, "
The people of the United States, at
the polls will again declare your-liberty
and your equality with your own an
cestors, and will relieve you of the"in-
suiting stigma that-you: are only .the
political or social equals of the negro
race. . v. . ;. . , ,- -.
"The Mecklenburg declaration of indo
pendenoe would never have 1een" made
If your fathers had supposed that . It
would be so perverted and abused as to
reduce their posterity .to political or
soblal equality with the negro race."
FOR A PACIFIC CABLE.
Secretary Lonf and Admiral Bradford on
Senate BUI.
WasaiMOTON, Jan. 1 Secretary Long
and Rear-Admiral Bradford appeared
before the Senato Committee on Naval
Affairs- today In advocacy of the con
struction of a Pacific cable by the Gov
ernment. The Secretary's statement re.
lated entirely to the feasibility of the
plan and Its advantages over doing the
work by private enterprise.
Rear-Admiral Bradford detailed the
operations of the collier Nero, wJiich is
now engaged in- making a preliminary
survey of the proposed Une west of Hon-'
oluiu. tie saia the survey bad been com
pleted and the Nero was on Its return.

' According to the reports of prelimin
ary wort, the proposed cable .was entire
ly practicable It is to run from San
Francisco la Honolulu, thence tie the
Midway Islands, and Guam to DIngala
bay, Island of Lueon,' with a spur for
commercial purposes to Yokohama.' The
average depth betaeen Uonolulu: and
Midway le 2t700 fathoms; between Mid-
Way and Guam, 8,000; between Guam
and Luion, 1,800. He estimated the cost
at $1,050 per . knot, which, with, the
amount necessary for steamers, offices,
etc., would bring the cost np to 110,000,-
000. He placed the entire length of the
cable at 8,304 knots, which allows 30 per
cent for slack and detours.
i , Ratifies Samoan Treaty.
i. Washimoton, Janiary 10. The Senate
today ratified the Samoan treaty without
division. : The ratification occurred" In
executive session and after two hours of
.debate, which was participated In by a
number of Senators. Messrs..' Davis,
Foraker and Spooner advocated and
Senators Bacon, Money and Tillman op
posed ratification. Senator Bacon made
the leading speech in opposition. He
based bis o'ljecllon upon tbe general
grounds that It' was contrary to the'
spirit of our Institutions to attempt to
govern any people in opposition to their
wishes. '.:.

. Lohdok, Jan. 17 "The military- critic
of the Morning Leaded, who le known to
be exceptionally lucky lo obtaining In
side news, Writes that on Monday morn
ing . General Warren's division . was
encamped between Springfield,' where
General Buller at the time bad bis head
quarters, and Bethany, flvo miles north
of the former place, anil that Buller bad
assuredly one, and it was believed two,
passages of the river his bands. - A
A careful study of topographical con
ditions shows the wisdom of such con
centration en'tne extreme British left.
The plan would be lo turn tbe heights to
the north and northwest of Colenso, and
thus compel their evacuation; then to
attack the Boors on the left between
Buller and General While.
There is considerable ground for be
lieving that the Boers around Lsdysmith
are preparing for some such attack, al
though they are not iure from which di
rection It will come. A late dispatch
from the besieged town reports signs 01
Boer preparations being made for a pos
sible retreat. Uilla -to the north and
west are being fortified, while a few big
guns have been posted to command a
British approach from the south. Uu
doublcdly the burghers know the peril
of being caught between two armies, to
which they are exposed, and as they all
along have been excellently served by
their scouts, the movements of General
Buller are perhaps by no means cays ter!
ens to them.

received the following dispatch from
South Africa:
Pietermaritzburg, Natal, Jan. 10
There was very heavy firing to the north
yesterday. ' .
It is believe the Boers are contesting
the passage of the Tugela by General
Buller. The howitzers were evidently
busy, as the firing is described ss the
heaviest yet heard in Natal.
There is a rumor that a portion ef the
British force Is near. Ladysratth. ,
