Officers of the adjutant general's de partment have conferred with the rail way officials as to provisions for the rapid assemblage of the State Guard in case of a call.

Your correspondent interviewed some Populists regarding the information given by Auditor Ayer as to Populist propositions to the Democrats for co. operation. J. A. Sims said: "The proposition will be made th good faith, by a.

large majority the Populists. Of course the minority will oppose any such course. I believe our proposition wil be accepted by the Democrats. It wil be on such lines that they cannot refuse to accept. I think it will apply to Judicial and congressional matters.

It may apply to county matters; but this last will be very hard to regulate. As to the. legislature I think some satisfactory adjustment can be made. This was talked of at the conference we held a fortnight or so ago. All the matters save co-operation as to the legislature were talked of at our State committee meeting night before last." Dr.

Cyrus Thompson said: "I confirm what Ayer said. It is the Populist sentiment. I think it covers complete fusion; that is, for all offices. You under- i stand a certain element does not want to make any proposition to the Democrats. I think the sentiment of our convention will be to make it.

I cannot speak positively as to county affairs, we may go all along." A Populist who is an "anti-Butler" man says: "Otho Wilson is bitter against the proposition. Ke says he wil go into the counties and bring 'anti-proposition' delegates here. The truth is Otho is dead, but doesn't know-it. He says he and others will start a newspaper here, Hamrick, Peace, Cobb and some others being associated with him. Now as to Cobb and Wilson and Hamrick, they are for -fusion at any price' with Republicans.

Hamrick is a i'ritchard and Pearson Peace wants to have the Populists keep the balance of power."

There was no frost on the uplands I i PATTON AVENUE j( Tho Raiding by John Fox, at Battory PorkHotol. After an Introduction by Mr. McKIs-sick in his most pleasing Style In which he asserted the claim of the South to two of the leading authors of America. John FOx and Thomas Nelson Page Mr.

Fox last evening at fthe Battery Park hotel, conducted a highly appreciative audience from "Hell fer Sartain to "Kingdom Come," the former being a creek in Kentucky which empties, as it snouia, into another creek. "Kingdom Come." Mr Fox gave a most Instructive and highly interesting prefatory talk on the Southern mountaineer in general and the Kentucky mountaineer in particu-. lar pointing out his peculiarities, his retention of more than 200 good old English words of the period of Chaucer, his devotion to friend and hatred of enemy, which prompts him to extend the hospitality of his home for a month to get a dollar's advantage in a trade; his intense religiousness and his intense deviltry when devilish or "frolicsome," and his pride, which scorns charity. In illustration of this he cited a well au thenticated instance during a plague in the mountains when a man with $1500-of charity money In his saddle pockets rode over a number of plague and famine stricken counties unable to force receipt of payment forTils entertainment or to give away more than $15 of his fund. From all of which Mrl Fox concludes that, though having vices, the mountaineer has many virtues, and as isolation is the key to degeneration of the human race, the wonder is that it having been so complete he has retained any virtues at all.

That he has is in Mr. Fox's opinion due to the Scotch-Irish blood, from which he asserts af least the ruling classes come. To use Mr. Fox's words, it is the Scotch-Irish blood which "wrested from Puritan and Cavalier an equal share of the glory that belongs to the three for the part played on the world's stage by this continent in the heroic role of Liberty." As a result of Mr. Fox's stories a Sunday school the official name of which is "Hell fer Sartain" has been located by a wealthy and philanthropic lady at the point where that stream empties into "Kingdom Come." Following this Mr.

Fox read sketches from "'A Trick of the Trade," "Court-in' on Cutshin," and '('The Kentuck-lans." He said "The Kentucklans" was written to bring into sharp contrast the people of the blue grass and of the mountains. Mr. Fox's voice is peculiarly suited for reading. He has a most fascinating manner and his imitation of mountain dialect ts superb. The merit of his waitings is acknowledged, and as an entertainer In reading or lecturing he is easily among the very best.

He is a young man, and it may confidently be expected that his genius and ability will still farther enrich Southern literature. joined the British army in 1849, but tnings did not turn out to his satisfaction, and in a moment of pique he decided to go to Valparaiso, Chile.

This is true- because the wasps of the ocean, as the torpedo boats are" sometimes called, sort of unknown quantity. No one pretends to know how much damage they might inflict If permitted to get within striking distance of our fleets. In the public mind there appears to be a good deal of misapprehension as to theManger presented by the torpedo Imaeine Spain's little squadron of ships could blow up the great fleet which we have assembled at Key West and Trtu-: gas.

They fear that If- the flotilla is evef permitted- to come this side of Puerto Rico Spain will be able to win the first naval battle. But level beaded na val officers tell me there is not so much danger from the mosquito fleet as- has been imagined. EFFECTIVENESS OF TORPEDO BOATS. In the first place, they say, torpedo boats are effective only under favorable conditions. They must have comparatively smooth water if they are able to be handled advantageously.

In a rolling or rough sea they cannot discharge their torpedoes V-ith accuracy and are not likely to do much harm. The torpedo boat is essentially a smooth water 'craft. It is designed for active operations in harbors and roadsteads. Again, they need the cover of darkness. In open daylight or even on bright moonlight nights they are ol small value.

In order to discharge theii toipedoes effectively they must get close to the ships of the enemy, and it darkness -or fog does not cover them they are in great danger of being blown out of water by the big guns of a cruiser or battleship. The range of these guns, with accuracy, too, is much greater than the distance at which a torpedo can be properly discharged. Therefore the advantage is all with the battleships or cruiser as long as there is light enough to enable the lookouts upon the latter to detect the little craft at a distance of two or three milest It is still believed by our naval experts that in case of necessity we shall be able to destroy or capture the Spanish torpedo flotilla out upon the high seas. There the little boats are at a disadvantage. If attacked by cruisers their only safety would be in flight.

But here again they would be at a disadvantage. Though it is true the modern first-class torpedo boat has a speed of from 26 to 31 knots an hour, while the fast cruisers can make only 21 and battleships frgm 14 to 16, the small boats are not able to carry much coal. They have no room in their bunkers for more than a few hours' supply. NEEDLESS EXCITEMENT. If kept at the most economical speed, 3ay six or eight knots an hour, these boats can carry enough coal to run them a couple of days.

In crossing the ocean it is necssary to have them accompanied by a convoy ship, from which they can get new supplies of coal every day or so. If the little boats are pushed up to full limit of their speed, they burn coal much faster, not only per hour, but per mile. But they cannot keep up the gait very long before vheir fuel runs Therefore If the I lying squnuruu snouiu uvme upon Spain's flotilla out in the open Bea It would be an easy matter for our cruisers to destroy the convoy ship. A few hots would place her out of commis-i'on forever more. Instantly, in all robability, the fast little boats would catter and make a run for their Uvea At the outset they could run away rom the bigger ships and Under covet darkness they might be able to elude ursult, but what would become of hem after their coal supply gave out" )r would they able to get away at all I answering these questions naval ex- lerts say much depends upon chance ipon the weather; the distance from whethejvor not.

From the Raleigh Post. A cablegram from Bangkok announces that Sir Nicholas Hannon, arbitrator between the estate of the late Dr. W. A. Cheek, a native of Orange county, North Carolina, and the gov ernment of Slam, has decided in favor of the Cheek estate, thus sustaining all the contentions of Mr.

Barrett. United States Consul General there. Two hun-Jred thousand dollars is involved. The widow of Dr. Cheek and her chll- Iren now reside In Hillsboro.

They will obtain the $200,000 agreed upon by the arbitrator. The late Dr. Cheek Is well remembered in North Carolina. He was born and reared In Orange county. The case of the heirs of Drheek against the Siamese government was long drawn out, and it has Anally been decided by the arbitrator.

Sir Nicholas Hannon, of Hongkong, that the claim of the heirs for $200,000 Indemnity is just and valid, and must be admitted and paid by Slam. Dr. Cheek went to Slam from Orange county years ago, entered into a sort of oartnershiD with the Siamese govern ment In the business of getting out teak timber on an extensive scale. Default in his contract was alleged. His property, which consisted largely of a vast herd of elephants, which were used to transport the teak, were seized, and he died later, after having vainly endeavored to secure rehabilitation and Justice at the hands of the Siamese officials.

The point and pith of the arbitrator's decision is in his declaration, that under the treaty stipulations between the two countries, litigation in Slam with a citizen of the United States could be undertaken legally only before the American minister. This provision had been ignored in the case of Dr. Cheek, as it has been frequently in similar Instances by nations with which consular and diplomatic courts are provided for by In connection with the case, the Philadelphia Record says: "It is valid international law none the less; and justly so, since without it many of our most enterprising countrymen abroad would become the sport and prey of rapacious, semi-barbaric officials. lbs Royal is the Msbest grade taMoa powder third tsrtker tsos say otfcar brass, Absolutely Pur OVL mmm Kmoea IW VOWK. 1 i i A 'L 'V 'i i i you' straight news.

Why? Plenty of persons do not yet realize what we may go to war with Spain about: Because her treatment of the non-combatants in Cuba is inhuman, and has been deliberately and purposely so. Because of our sympathy with a-peo. pie who have been oppressed for generations, till, desperate in their resistance, they declare their independence as we did 122 years ago. Hi-cause Spain's course in Cuba disturbs the peace of our own people, while costing us upwards of $100,000,000 annually in loss of trade and expense of patrolling the coast to prevent filibustering. Because a great part of our history as It appears with that of Spain is a hiBtory of Injustice on her part, of cruelty to our citizens, including the murder of a large number of them, and the imprisonment contrary to our treaty of hundreds more.

Because It is a moral certainty that Spain or Spaniards blew up the Maine, causing the loss of 264 lives. Under Snor Red. The most diverting spectacle at present before the people of the United States is the Republican branch of Congress, and especially the House members thereof. For some months the Republican representatives have been announcing that they were just about to "break away" from the control of Speaker Reed and ili untold damage to his notion of what legislation should be reached and voted on. When the Maine was blown up it was with difficulty that the Republican members restrained themselves from undertaking the investigation of the tragedy, regardless of the fact that an official board of inquiry had been appointed.

They finally ontented themselves, however, by daily attempting to bring free Cuba into the discussion, the only re suit being that they were promptly sat down upon by Speaker Reed. Later, when the board of inquiry had reported, these Republican members announced they had become "restless" and were about to break away that Is, were thinking of running the House themselves instead of allowing Reed to do It. Then came the start ling telegram that the House could not be held longer than a certain day. It was wild to do something or somebody. On that date, hour and minute specified, the Republicans would become men again and talk and vote for free Cuba.

But alas! when the day came the Republicans retreated under the withering glance of Heed, and nothing was done but to announce that the House had extended the lime of the President till last Monday, when, if the message was not in, positively the great three-ring, double somersault breaking away act would be performed before the eyeJ of a wondering and admiring With Monday came no message, bu! only a statement, calmly accepted by the childlike House, that the message would be sent in positively on Wednes day. So the breaking away act wai again postponed. Then.of course, Wednesday was to be the fateful day a landmarK in the history of the House. The Republicans could be restrained no longer; not a moment; they were wild horses snorting, rearing, pitching. On that day Cuba would be declared free and so would the House, the latter from the domina tion of Senor Thomaso Reedl, of the Court of the Queen Regent, Madrid.

Well, the whole world knows the re suit not a break; not a snort; not a ord. The House remains under Reed's thumb, and he is not one of those reeds that are shaken by mere wind. PEOPLE.
