BEES BY THE MILLION.
They Are swarming Over Everything In
Parts of North Carolina.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPAT0H.I

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrSPATCH.i
WILMINGTON, N. G. March 19.-Millions Of
bees have besieged this city. They are flying
everywhere, and have taken possession Of
dining rooms and kitchens and stores where
sweet things are sold. For three days the Will
mington Candy Mandatory had to shut down
on account of the myriads of bees that swarmed
in the store and around the candy makers in
the factory department. Wilmington is situ-
ated within few miles OF the Atlantic Ocean,
and the proximity of the Gulf Stream has
made all the adjacent country one of the most
remarkable botanical regions in the United
States, where flourish many specimens of beau
tiful and fragrant wild flowers that are not
known to exist anywhere else in the world.
The unusually mild weather of late has
brought forth this floral wealth in the utmost
luxuriance, attracting hther swarms of bees in
search for honey sweets. The recent cold spell
has destroyed most of the wild flowers, and the
insects attracted by the perfume from hot
houses that exist IN great numbers here have
made an attack on the city that promises to be-
come siege of extended duration.

THE ErGEr-BoUR MOVEMENT.

The very interesting special dispatch on
the eight-hour movement, which appears
elsewhere, shows the prominence which that
issue is attaining in the public mind and
the careful consideration to its practical
features given to it bY the labor leaders. The
article also confirms the previous reports
that the attempt to establish the system will
be made BY selected industries in especial
cities.
With regard to the abstract question of
shortening the hours of labor, thinking and
disinterested men will agree that ii is desl-
rable. But most impartial minds will per-
eeive, what does not seem to be
very clearly recognized in this move
ment, that it is more urgently
called for where the hours of labor run up
to twelve or thirteen, than where they are
but nine or ten. Such cases are pointed out
bv Mr.. Robert Blissert, in the article re-
ferred 10; but it is not get clear that the
overworked shirtmakers and tailors who
work the larger half of the twenty-four
hours will gain the greatest benefit by this
movement.
Nor is it certain that the plan of cam
paign which seems to be decided upon will
be effectual The fact that single trade in
a single city gains an eight-hour strike is
not likely to be decisive as to another trade
in another city. We understand that the
building trades in this city work nine hours
only; but that does not a whit ameliorate
the condition of the people in New York,
who have to work thirteen, or prevent the
same trades in other cities from working
ten.
Would it not be wiser for the labor organ
ization to turn their influence in the direc-
tion of bringing the labor of all classes
down to ten hours before attempting to es-
tablish the eight-hour day?

BADLY SCARED BY A WHALE.
The Largest Ever Seen In the Bay OF Fundy
Frightens Sailors.

The Largest Ever seen In Inc bay OIL funuy
Frightens Sailors.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
ST. JOHNS. N. B., March 19.-The coasting
schooner Cecilia which arrived here to-day. was
followed by 70.foot humpback whale through
out the day and night Saturday, and the crew
received a fright which will last them for some-
time. The whale would move closely under
the schooners quarter. then turn over upon his
back and lie there almost motiOness, approach
ing so near at times as to bump the schooner.
Finally one of the sailors mustered up all his
bravery, and with boat hook struck the
whale. This little attention was received with
absolute indifference. Later Captain Horton,
whose only weapon was a revolver, fired at
what he thought would be a vulnerable part of
the whale and this only resulted in worrying
him little, SO that he bumped the vessel hard
enough to shake her from stem to stern. Every
time the vessel would tack the whale would fol-
low, and as it was calm he found little difficulty
in doing it.
The men had an excellent opportunity to
clos sely observe his movements At one time
he was so near that the rudder of the schooner
was entangled with his tall. Captain Horton
says that the whale was covered with scars,
which be thinks resulted from frequent battles
seen in the vicinity of the Bay of Fundy, and
this was the largest one ever seen there. The
affair has created some uneasiness among the
crews of smaller coasting vessels here, who do
not:care to meet the whale under similar cir
cumstances.

SWAMP SOLD TO A SYNDICATE.
The Great Okeefinokee wilderness Disposed
of Very Cheaply.

ATLANTA. March 19.-The great Okeefnokee
swamp property in South Georgia. heretofore
owned by the State, was sold to-day to a syndi-
cate for 2615 cents per acre. Under an act pro-
viding for the sale. purchasers must take the
entire swamp, the acreage being determined by
a survey to be made at once. 1t is estimated
that there are 400 600 acres there. For years this
property has brought no revenue to the State.
Three or four times the State has given it
away. once to a lottery and twice to private in-
dividuals, but each time it was refused, with
thanks.
The syndicate that bought it is headed by
Franklin Coke, of North Carolina, and includes
General P. NJ. B. Young and Henry Jackson,
shall and Phillips. of Pennsylvania. Phillips.
who is one of the purchasers, is believed to be
acting for the DIsstons, of Philadelphia, who
were prominent in developing the swamp lands
of Florida

CONGRESSMAN REYBURN is stirring up
the public charities of the State with sharp
stick. and the consequence is that the managers
of those institutions who have permitted abuses
to flourish are very indignant over it. The idea
that the public should interfere in the manage
ment of public institutions is severely repro
bated by all whose administration will not bear
scrutiny. But the indignation is futile. Mr..
Reyburn is bound to ruin either his own repu-
tation or those of some managers of charitable
institutions; and it will not be Reyburn's repu-
tation that suffers.

In vain we lift our voices-drift

IN HER CORONATION ROBES.
Emma Abbott's Dress is Said TO Have Cost
About $4,000.

Lenten duties have not prevented society
from enjoying Emma Abbott's singing and
dressing this week. Especially the latter, to
judge from the remarks made by the fair ones.
Some of her gowns are simply gorgeous, and
cost mint OF money.
In the Rose of Castillo" in which she ap-
peared last evening. her coronation toilet was
such that every glass in the house was leveled
at her. The cost of that one particular gown,
it is said. was not covered with
less than Sl4, 900 check. 1t was composed of
cardinal and lemon-colored velvet embroidered
in cobweD design, with delicate gold cord. OF
course it was fashioned with full court train,
which was carried by two fetching little pages.
The royal cloak was made of the cardinal vel
vision of beauty she was when enrobed in the
royal robes, and the way heads bobbed and
necks were craned proved the interest an Emma
Abbott gown can create.

Among the many excellent exchanges re-

highly than THE PITTsBURG DISPATCH. The
DISPATCH is not only reliable. but it is enter
prising, and that it is thoroughly appreciated by
the public is witnessed in its phenomenal growth
and prosperity. No paper on the continent
gives a greater variety of news or goes to
greater expense in catering for the intellectual
enjoyment of its readers than the journal we
are writing about; hence its success and on

journalistic ladder.
Its Sunday edition, in particular IS marvel
of excellence, judiciously selected, we'll put to-
gether, well printed and forming treat cal
culated TO satisfy, in every respect, the de-
mands of the most exacting reader. THE DIS
PATCH long ago jumped beyond the confines OF
Pennsylvania, and to-day enjoys reputation
for news and excellence as broad as the
national domain-a reputation earned by dint
of hard work, lavish expense and journalistic
skill.

THE reported claim of the wood alcohol
interest, that alcohol used in the arts must not
be relieved from internal taxation, because, in
that case, alcohol can be made from grain as
cheaply as from wood, is the last and most
striking development of the idea that this Gov
ernment must be run for the especial benefit
of favored interests. The notion that one in
dustry has a vested right in the taxation of an
other domestic industry, to keep it out of the
market, calls for very sharp correction.
