Raleigh, Janary 22. Democratic
State Chaiaman Blmmons says regarding
the action of the Populist State commit
tee last Thursday night. ''Judging from
Senator Butler's speech at the committee
meeting he evidently wants to stir up
strife and inflame the negroes to violent
resistance of the purpose of the whites
to disfranchise them. -0
v There will likely be no race troubles
in North Carolina next time. If there
are they will be the outcome of the in
cendiary speeches of agitators like Butler
to the negroes. If trouble comes such
men will be held responsible for it, The
poor) misguided negro will be the great
est Bufferer, but It is likely the Instiga
tors will not escape the wrath which
they will provoke by their inflammatory
appeals. ( The white people are deter
mined to settle this negro question this
year and they are .not to be deterred
from .this purpose by i thlply-velled
threats of Uegro insurrection, made by a
gang of unworthy white office-seekers.
The decent white people of the State
have more respect for the negro than the
men who seek to use him for selfish pur
poses. If these men think they can deceive
the uneducaled while -people end use
them to bolster up and continue Ignor
ant negro suffrage in North Carolina
they greatly misunderstand and undei.
rate the white people of the State - Al
though many poor white people are un
educated they are not ignorant nor can
they, be made the tools and dopes of
these demagogues. They are generally
well posted and before the election they
always understand the. questions upon
which they are to .'vote and how they
will affect their Interests. , .
; The threats of such, meTButler, Otto
Wilson, Garrett and Ayer to take the
negro and drive the advocates of white
supremacy out of the State will be great
ly resenled by the respectable people of
the State, and the attempt to execute
this threat may put the boot- on the
other leg. When these men attempt to
employ an army of Ignorant negroes to
compel b force the white people of
North Carolina to return to negro rule
and domination they will learn more
than they seem to know of the metal of
which the Anglo-Saxon is made."
.Railroad people hue smile at the news
that the Eastern railroads are by consoli
dation to drop ont their traveling men.
They say in 1885 the Gould system tried
the plan and it tailed. .,. .
Mr. Tuft's great hotel at PInehurst,
the Carolina, is certainly to be open by
March 10, it is now said. It will have
403 rooms. Dr. George T. Winston, who
saw it says it is a niarvel.
Mr. MoCallum, of Red Springs; mem
ber of the Board of Agriculture, saw
Governor Russell in regard to Reuben
Ross, the negro under death sentence at
Lumberton, and asked the Governor to
send a special commission to gnt evi
dence, Mr. MoCallum said: "We are
convinced that Ross Is an innocent man."
tie went on to say that the Red Springs
and Mj?"'."!! people are angry at some
publication made by the Lumberton
paper and it apprers that relations are
quite strained. ; overnor RussoH has
not. yet ssld whet tr he will send a com
mission or not, n all its aspects the
case is notably interesting.
The llethodltts at Wilson are to build
a very handsome Church.
The Baptists will do active work now
to remove a f M.OOO debt from their Fe
male University here. Of the debt some
10,000 was tno'urrtd not long before Its
completion.. From the very start .tlie
University has been a great microns. The
Baptists are justly proud of It and so are
Raleigh people, without regard to creed.
or sect. '.
The Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion said that se far as be knew there is
only one suit pending now to settle
whether the fuslonlsts or the Democrats
are to control the schools, and that this

tempt caso from Sampson county, before
the Supreme Court, which went over

Amtmshei by Filipinos.
Manila, Jan. 21 News was received
herejhat a pack train, escorted by SO
men of Company K, Thirtieth Infantry,
Lieutenant Ralston commanding, - was
ambushed by Filipinos near LI pa, Prov
lnce of Laguna, on Thursday. Two
American rwere killed, four were wound
ed and nine are missing.
The escort consisted of 50 convales
cents from a hospital, who were going
to rejoin their regiments. ,
" The natives hid in the bushes along
the road and opened fire upon the pack
train from three sides.
The Americans were compelled to
abandon the train, which consisted of
22 horses. The horses, with their packs,
all fell into the hands of the natives, who
pursued the retreating escort three miles
along the road, until the Americans
were reinforced. After the Americans
had killed 15 of the Filipinos tho latter
retired.
, Boer Epidemic . 5
Washington, January "i2. An epl
demlc of "Boer' sympathy broke out a
Washlngtan several days ago, and Is
now raging in and out of Congress. -tit
may be said to have started with Sena
tor Hale's somewhat sensational speech,
in which be expressed the belief that
nine-tenths of the people of this coun
try were in .sympathy, with the Soers.
Then came Senator Allen's resolution,
asking for Information as to why' the
Stale Department declined to recognize
a properly accredited representative of
the Transvaal -republic, which 1 was
adopted by the Senate after itwas
amended, so as to leave it to the discre
tion of the President, whether the infor
mation should be given, ... . -w
It reached its highest point last night
at a big publlo meeting, advertised as a
"Boer demonstration', at which speeches
were made 'by Senators Allen, of Ne
braska; Mason, of HI; and Representatives
Bailey, of Texas; De Armond, of Mo ;
Clark, of Mo,' . Because a- man happens
to be a member of Congress, does not, of
course, prevent his having tliet same
sympathies jut other men, - but - many
question the good taste of their ' partici
pating In public demonstration against
a nation with which this country is on
the most friendly terms.
- Praying In Kentucky.
. Fhankfobt; Ey., January ' 21 The
clergymen of Frankfort have decided that
next Tuesday shall be set apart In this
city as a day of prayer, - "',
t. The clergymen announced from their
pulpits this morning that the deplorable
events of the lost week Inthe-cltyof
Frankfort and the continued talk of the1
possible repetition of such affairs as the
Colson-Scott tragedy, which is at times
Indulged in by Indiscreet political . par
tisans, had rendered necessary some
steps to awaken the public conscience to
the dangers threatening the Common'
wealth of Kentucky, , . y ' ,
- Prayers Will be offered at all three
services asking that men of both parties
may be guided to act with wisdom and
moderation, and that the danger of fur
ther bloodshed may be safely passed. ,

Oa Saturday the whole British force
engaged in a : fierce, conflict with the
Boers , all day, which resulted in the
thrusting book the Boers from ridge to
ridge. - The fight Was resumed Sunday
At 9 80 a. m. Warren , had forced the
Boers from three , positions and the
Lancashire and Irish brigades were ad
vancing. - . "
Warren has been heavily reinforced
and the main attack, it seems, is being
dealt by him, Instead of by the troops in
front of the Boers' position and on 'their
left, .
The main engagement Saturday took
plsre to the west of Spien kop, and, it is
said, resulted in the British securing a
rough tableland ' which constitutes the
key to the Beer position.. The Boer right
was pushed bsck upon the central hill of
rfplon kop.
The assault was delivered, against' a
ride of hills six tulles long. .The British
advance was 'a three brigades, under
General Woodgate, Hart and Hiliiyard.

right wing might enable the British
commander to , swing round and drive
them Into an ever-narrowing circle.
" Meanwhile the Boers have been kept
busy jon 'their; left - facing Potgieter's
drift. A continuous artillery fire was
poured into them from Swartz kop and
Mount Alice. Lyttleton's brigade made a
reeonnojssance in force which, General
