MAY 20, 1890. No appropriation is available for "the enlargement of the Federal building in Greensboro and in all probability the work will be delayed for some time to come. The- bench and bar of the Supreme Court adopted resolutions of reepect to the memory of the late Judge Dillard last week and ordered the same spread upon the minutes andublished in the ensuing toI-ume of the Reports. Ik anyone happens to run across a stray Morton boom that got loose eomewhere in North Carolina they will please return it to Col. Keogh, Greensboro, the daddy of that beguiling interview which went the rounds a few weeks ago.

Levi will pay the freight. The news of Russell's nomination created no enthusiasm iy this bailiwick. Outside of the 'combine," which danced to Ddckery music before being shelved by the convention, Boyd was the apple of the Republican eye and bis friends stuck by him to the last. Russell is nauseating to a good many of the faithful, but before the election that will-mostly be forgotten and' the "elements" will line up( regardless. The more intelligent colored brethren may cauee some concern by investigating Russell's record, but they will be drawn into line with the usual bait.

If the state is saved from further degradation and ruin it must be done by a reunited Democracy. It won't do to bank on Republican sentiment as expressed just now. Secretart Hoke Smith made a speech last Saturday evening to the Reform Club, in New York, in which he well used the following language. He said: The demand of the free-silver men for the white metal was really a proposition to remove from silver dollars the safeguards of legislasion which surround them, to withdraw the limit and to take fromtnem the support of the Government. Silver monometallism, he said, would be the result of the free, unlimited coinage of silver at 1G to 1.

"If a President and Congress were elected in November committed to the free and unlimited coinage of 374 1-4 grains of silver into said Secretary Smith, "manufactories would close, busi-nesshouses would fail, banks would be raided, the unemployed would be numbered by millions, and want and famine would pervade the land." He added that these "interests quired the removal of all doubt about the meaning of a dollar. How Delegates to Chicago Can Be Selected. In answer to an inquiry from S. v.E. chairman of the Democratic executive committee of Da-vidsqn county, State Chairman James H.

L'ou says that the nine Congressional districts of this state will elect two delegates each to the National Convention in such man ner as will seem best in each dis trict. The executive committee any district can call a convention to meet within the district at any date prior to the meeting of the National Convention July 7tb, for the sole purpose of electing dele gates and alternates to that con vention, or for the purpose of nom mating candidates for Congress and Presidential electors, or, as is frequently done when it is thought best to have a later nomination of candidates, the district committee can call a convention to meet in Raleigh at the time of the meeting or tne state convention and this convention can elect delegates When the latter course is followed the counties have usuelly author ized their delegates and alternates to the state, convention to also act as delegates tp the district c'onven tion. This was the course followed by the Fourth district in 1892.

The most serious conflagration thi. city na. experienced In ten year, broke out shortly before 10 o'clock Jtonight in a block in the centre of the city. bounded by the tracks of the South em Railway and Prior, Decatur and Collin, atreets. The Markham House, adjoining tne Union depot, and one of the best-known hotels in the country, wa.

totally destroyed, involving a loss of about $75,000 on building and furniture; covered by an insurance of $50,000. Milan Patterson's livery stable, which the blaze originated, Pat terson's undertaking establishment, row of small rookeries on Decatur street and a half-dozen houses on Collins street were burned. At midnight the fire had made a complete sweep of the block and was threatening to spread across Decatur street. The total loss on the Markham House block is probably $300,000 largely covered by insur ance. The Progressive Farmer savs the Re publican convention of last week made the most artistic straddle of the year on the silver Question: it also denounces the manner in which Dockery was cheated out of the nomination by a convention calling for honest ballots; ridicules tne idea or ropnliat fusion with those Republicans.

i Spain Unable to Check the Revolt i and Business Ruined. London, May 16. The Times publishes' a three-column letter this morning from a correspondent in Havana under date of May 2. In the course of the letter this correspondent says: "It is quite unless to hide the real situation. The whole island is in revolt and the Spanish troops are merely acting on the defensive.

"Jt is impossible that they can prevent the landing of supplies and war material, for the rebels. Even the position of Maceo's forces, con fined in Pinar del Rio, is not of a desperate nature, as the Spaniards make believe. "Only a few isolated rebels have taken advantage of Captain-General Weyler's offer of amnesty. Spain has lost the power to protect life and property in Cuba. I "Widespread inquiries fail to justify the charges of cruelty againt Captain-General Weyler, tut the rebels' destruction of property can not be justified.

The wanton burn ing of some 1,000,000 woith of property belonging to! inoffensive people is not war." The letter proceeds to dilate upon the economic ruin wrought by the breakdown of the sugar crop, which hks rendered thousands destitute while the tobacco trade is in a still worse condition. "The cigar factories of Havana, te correspondent continues, "only have material for a few weeks, and the closing of their doors means the throwing out of employment of oO.OOO persons. The total exports from Cub ar estimated at 3, 000,000. compared with 12,000,000, ($60,000,000.) lor iyo. of the most prominent mer chants here says that Cuba ha.

received its death blow, but, in my opinion, an immediate peace would still leave a chance for i the return of prosperity."
