and appealed. His appeal has been sus-

establishes the fact that the Bureau is still
a distinct organization.

The Freedmeu's Bureau Commissions Of
North Carolina reports that of the 100000
blacks in that State, 1924 are receiving ra-
tons. A decrease OF 4,7S7 rations is re- /
ported since the month Of May; value
Ss,304-92. One hundred and nineteen freed
men schools are now in operation, with las
teachers. The attendance averages 9,OS4
pupils. One thousand one hundred and
forty two cases were treated in hospitals,
eighty eight being small pox. As the Leg
islature and convention had placed both
white and black alike before the courts, the
Commissions deemed it advisable TO turn
over to the civil authorities all cases except
those of claims by the freedmen for wages
for labor performed. The restitution and
suffering among both whites and blacks in
various portions of the State are gradually
being relieved.

Miscellaneous.
Indications still point to an adjournment

The Tribune and Mr.. Raymond.
A Times special says of the Tribune's
concerning Nj. Raymond in the Re
publican Caucus: In what it says of Mr..
Raymond, this paper as usual INDUCES in
fabrication. He was not ques-
as to the course of the Times in the
Philadelphia Convention. He said nothing

vention. He retracted nothing that he had
said or written and made no promises for
the future for himself or for the Times, /
either in regard to the convention or any
other subject.
The Tribune publishes what it calls an
authorized report of the caucus, in which 1t
repeats that Mr.. Raymond, when he sup
ported the Philadelphia Convention he |
thought It was 10 be g Union ConYenfloa. |
He did not vote on the resolution condemn
ing this Convention, which was adopted.
Mr.. Hale, Of New York, voted in the neg
alive.
Secretary Welles has written a letter to
Senator Doolittle. approving the call for the
Philadelphia Convention.
The statements that have been made in
several Metropolitan Journals Of lengthy
and stormy Cabinet meetings being held,
in which, among others, the new Freed
mems Bureau bill, and the call for
a Convention in Philadelphia next August
were the topics discussed, were all untrue.

The President hes written out q veto of
the Preedmen's Bureau bill, of which there
seems to be no doubt that he has never yet
submitted to his Cabinet.
