HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS. Club Witnesses a Cake Walk. Approved by the Navy Department. By Southern Associated Press. Iron Ore to Oo On the Free List.

By Southern Associated Press. Waswisgtoh, Nov. 22 The iron ore men have been defeated, and the men who lave combatted so valiantly to keep this arliele ot" of tbe free list were today informally notified by members of the ways and means committee that it had been finally decided by the Dem ocratic members that iron ore would be placed on the free list. This is the most important development of the day, as it leaves the iron ore men of Alabama. Tirginia and Michigan no alternative but to carry their fight on to the flo9r of the House.

This they are now threatening to do, and it is more freely stated than eter that the new tariff bill containing this new provision will In opposed in the Uouse by the solid lemo-iratic delegation from Alabama, and in the Senate by Senators Morgan and Pugh. The Western Iron Ore Association, through President George II- Kly, of Cleveland, Ohio, has made a vigorous protest to the committee.

The duty on shoddy, mungo and sertain other wastes is put at 25 per cent advalorem. Over 1,000 petitions, telegrams and memorials have been received by members ol tbe committee from temperance societies throughout the country asking that the whiskey tax be revised.

The Ban's Cut to a Letter, By Southern Associated Press. New Tom, Nov. 22 The Son's cotton report says: Prices closed 10 to 11 points higher owing to an advance in Liverpool higher prices at the South and an expectation that the recta at the ports and the interior towns will shortly show a falling off.

By Cable. Madrid, Nov. 22 In the municipal elections held throughout Spain on San-day last, half the tlect orate abstained from voting. A notable feature of tbe elections was gains by the Carlisls They have gained seats even outside the northern provinces, where they have always been strong. Tbe defeat of the Republican candidates is attributed to divisions in that party and the abstention from voting on the part of the Fed- The 'iron Abhev The tbe ladiea ac- eompanvincr' 'ron (Jlub in its pilgrimage to ile was ten dered on Saturday u.v at at the Battery Park.

"Sill" Nye came in to pay his respects and hiB presence was a welcome addition to the list of the re ceiving party An hour was passed of introductions to the bright and charming women who, with their husbands and brothers, have been such delightful guest) and who reign in representative American home life at the National Capital. In the pleasantry of this new fellowship the company tcok possession of the Music to enjoy the antics of the Coon Trot Minstrels and the exuberance of the colored folks in the festive hilarity of a cake walk. The stage was occupied by the visitors, to wBom the homely features of genuine plantation fun were brand new and convulsing as rendered by the hoedowns of the Snowball Troubadours and Pink Griffin's imitations of the movements of the "eastbound train" and the shriiror-ders of its captain. Pink asked for quiet "Twell you white folks kin hear a pin drop" and he got it and sailed in to the crowd's delight The imitation ended in a series of shrieks that paralyzed the audience. Mr.

McKiseick did many center shots in the entertainment of the visitors, but the clever hit was in the selection of Frank Hatton, editor of the Washington Post, Bill Nye, the good-bald pjet and Ed. Hay, the assistant mayor of Ashe-ville, to be judges of the cake walk. The trio were enthroned in chairs at a table in the centre of the room and Hay asked for mercy, if the judges' decisions might not be agreeable, and requested that nothing be thrown. Nye added bis prayer: "Especially do we request that no fresh eggs of the hotel be hurled." Hatton sailed on to the host with a call for feed, and the mirth waa volleyed hard and fast The cake was brought to the table and the coons preened and fluttered around with elbows at a 'come seven" an "ah dah" chuckle and a long keen grin. While the couples pulled themselves together the judges ate the candy dots off the cake.

The order to" hit the grit" brought out nine pairs of the shaded brethren, and the crowd cave them an encouraging cheer. The pace was a mover, and half a dczen laps had the contestants well "un- jinted." Tbe audience picked out winners while the steppers frisked around the "boesmen" in devious and winding tracks. Hub 8mith applied for a dneky partner and was accepted, but the roar that broke as the pair went in as the tail enders scared the maiden back to her companions and Hub with McKiseick led the fun for several turns. A saddle-headed boy in loud checks walked with a dumpy female buached np in white gauze with a ruff about "dat yaller blaster neck" and girthed in pink ribbons. Another pair of distinction had a girl, brunettisb, but nut decided enough for a type, whose pompadour bang bobbed funnily in time with her gait; her man in a cut down cuff for a collar and dress coat got mad because somebody stepped on his heel and the pair quit the track in a huff.

Tbe judges looked wise and made rulings that caught the crowd until they turned down her whitey bunch- nesB and checks, and then the peo ple spoke in buses. The entries dwindled to a tandem and the four were halted for the de cision A majority report in favor of Henry Cowan and Miss Emma Campbell was submitted by Hay for 1 w. nimseu ana aye; Mr. Hatton offered the views of the minority, claimed the prize for Miss Camobell and Jonah McKiseick Rivers, -put the question to the house on the adop tion of his report, declared it carried and i aid: "My haired mend, Bill will now award ILe cake." Mr. Nye's speech of award began in President Arthur time when Mr.

Hatton, as Postmaster General, had conferred an appointment ution "Bill lor aistinguiened party Ber vice, and came along down to tbe present era in early stages "And now, said the speaker finally, "I am called upon because cf an item of pouueai preiermeni mat Kept me in office ninety days, and from i i i which I escaped by tbe clemency of the government, to wink at a high handed attempt of the minority to defeat the will of the people. Oh, no, gentlemen, lam only a plain farmer, but this cake will be awarded by the majority. Take the cake, Miss hmma and Mr. Henncrv. use it wisely, don't fritter it away; aacer tain whether or not it was made in the house (Battery Park), and if not, you my safely eat it And Miss hmmi took the cake amid applause that was heard be yond Bee Tree.

The colored folks then retired and the guests indulged in waltzes. suic omiM9s Are kept on hand by Miss 8. A. Tilhnghaet, Agent of the Atlantic Electropotse Company. Write or call at 425 North Blood worth street Baleigh.

For years there has been much talk in the Confed erato Veterans' meetings and elsewhere ot a home for deserving Confederate soldiers and their widows unable to sup port themselves. At last the enterprise has assumed definite shape. The scheme has been incorporated by some of the leading citizens of the State and a meet ing call in this city for December 12ta, next.

MISlsTKR THUBfcTOH'S STATEMENT OAl'SBS OMMKSr. It Is Regarded as a Violation of Diplomatic Courtesy Hn Uliuokalanl Been Restored? By Southern Associated Tress. Washikgtos, Nov. 2 It was clearly apparent this morning that the publication of Minister Thurston's reply to Commissioner lHonnt's report created a vp disagreeable impression at the department of State. None of the officials care to discuss Ike matter with a view to publication of their views, but privately it is intimated that the Minister hss adopted sn extraordinary course; that he has violated all the proprieties of diplomati'- ini ercourse.

aal that ia any other count than the United States he would be immediately famished with his passports, which is the diplomatic method of intimating to a Minister that he is rursona non grata and had better take his departure. But Thurston has made it difficult for such a course to be pursued by very shrewdly disclaiming in the beginning of his article any intention of publishing an opinion on the international question at issue, and declaring that he proposed confining himself to a statement of facts concerning himself, in reply to Blount's personal attscks upon him. Alth-ugh the minister under this cover mac sees to discuss and traverse nearly every substantial statement made by Mr. Bloant, his disclaimer obscures very much violation by him of diplo matic proprieties, if indeed bis state ment taken as a whole can be so regarded, and would make it difficult for the Department of State to deal with him aa it might otherwise be disposed to do. But as a matter of fact, the impres sion is that the department has no in tention of adopting heroic measures in Minister Thurston's cat e.

Nevertheless it may be anticipated that he will meet with a rather chilly reception upon his next visit to the Department of State All of the state departnnent officials stood mute when there waa brought to their attention the published report that Queen Liliuokalani had been restored to the Hawaiian throne yesterday. In view of intimations that have been dropped that the radical feature of Minister Willis' instructions would develop soon after, and not before, the sailing last Thursday from Honolulu of the stesmship Alameda, which is due at Ban Francisco tomorrow, and that stirring events were expected occur about that time, it cannot be said that the report ia entirely discredited here. But if this extreme step had been taken at ths time indicated, the American pub-lie will not be made aware of it by any news likely to come by means of the Alameda tomorrow, and owing to the gap of twenty daya in the mail servica caused by the wreck of the steamer Miowera, the'pablic mast wait many days for that news, unless tomething comes to hand by way of Uhina, through me outward bound steamer touching at Honolulu 1 hurt ton's dramatic recital of the revolution ot 1887 recalls the fact that hen the news of the event waa re ceived, the British minister (at that time rir ijionei oacivuie west) asked the United States to join England, France aad Germany in an international guar antee of the neutrality of tho Baaawich or Hawaiian Islands similar to the. 8a i moan. The United States did not adopt the suggestion.

A thing in afkrmatioi or contradic tion of the rumor that yesterday waa the date fixed lor the restoration of the Queen can be obtained from official sources. A Postmaster Dismissed. By Southern Asscoiated Press. Washinotos, D. Nov.

S2 Presi dent Cleveland this morning appointed Andrew J. Arnold postmaster at To-peka. Kansas, vice Frank S. Thomas, r. moved.

Thomas was anoointed oost- maater in April last, and was removed in consequence of the disapproval by the department of certain acts of his, including the removal of a number of ear ners aad clerks in tho office at Topeka. it eppears that 1 ho mas made charges against these employees, and upon his statement the charges were approved, and the dismissal of the carriers and clerks ordered. Subsequent investigation discovered to the department of ficials that there was at least another side to the question, and this taken to gether with tbe posting of a notice in the office at Topeka that the dismissal of the men named was "by order of the Postmaster instead of stating that it was '-upon the approval by the Postmaster General of the postmas ter recommendation, led the department authorities to make the chance.
