THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has made a
contract for an immense number Of Watches,

of this offer is that, although we can get
hundreds of different makes we conline this

GOING TO LEXINGTON.
Indications That Roanoke VIII lie Largely
Represented Tuesday.

Represented Tuesday.
Active preparations have been made
by Watts Camp, Confederate Veterans,
and the military company for their trip
20 Lexington Tuesday.
The Roanoke Machine Works Band
has been secured to furnish music for
the occasion, and the Indications are
that the trip will be decided success,
and that Roanoke will make great
showing on that occasion.
The only drawback at present is the
hardness Of the veterans in reporting
their names to Col. Brooke, the com
mander of the camp. 1t is an assured
fact that great many OF them are
going who havo not reported, hu. put
this important matter off till the last
moment.
Commander Brooke said to a TINES
reporter yesterday that he desired to
have the camp thoroughly organic d in
order to handle them. TO do SO would
be impossible if the members do not re-
port their names prior to the day Of
starting.
Captain Rives, of the military com
pany. is getting his men in shape fer the
trip, and expects TO make good show
ing. lie thinks he can carry at least
forty members.
The Sons of Veterans are not making
much Roadway. They have not been
thoroughly organized. and not great
deal of interest is being manifested in
the matter. 1t is not likely that they
will carry many members. Notwith-
standing this, the trip will do credit to

answer 10 the senate resolution says the
basis on which he estimates the market
price Of silver in daily quotation Of silver
in London, New York and San Francisco.
The market price the secretary estimates
from comparison Of these figures and the
prices at which the silver is offered for
to the government, the rule being to &C
Oept the lowest offers, provided they do
not materially exceed the highest market
price in the three named cities. The
secretary further states that no silver
bullion has been purchased by the gov

chases to the government made from

Zeb. v. Russell and J. W. Cook we're

Lee and Armstrong ranches, about ten
miles from here, in this county. They
were fired into by some unknown party,
and Russell was instantly killed. Cook
saw two Mexicans getting away and fired
at them. He thinks he hit one. Both
men were in the employ Of the Maxwell

possibility Of nominating Mr.. Cleveland
as the democratic candidate in 1892, has
been most promptly and effectually dis
PEELED by Mr.. Cleveland himself. BY a
stroke of the pen he has disDosed Of all
the chatter and babble about his candi.
dacy and has made his denomination by
the democratic party impossible. That
he has taken this step deliberately after
giving the matter due consideration, we
have no doubt. Nor do We have any
doubt that he knew what the effect Of the

The bill making this government the
endorser Of s100, ,OO0, 900 Of the bonds Of
the Nicaragua canal company, has been
the cause Of very spirited debate in the
Senate, and strange to say its bitterest
opponent and its strongest defender are
both democrats, being respectively Sem
ators Vest and Morgan. The lobby that
has manipulated this bill has done its
work well. 1t has surrounded il with
mystery and Senators upon the floor hint
at secret reasons for its passage in man
ner that would be almost amusing II il
did not involve the possible loss Of q very
large sum OF money. For instance, Sena.
tor Morgan, who is q member Of the
committee that unanimously reported
it, said that the reason for the commit.
tees pressing the bill at this stage Of the
session, was its great importance and
further that the committee had no alter
native. The questions naturally arise
Why has it suddenly become 30 impor
taut? and why did the committee have
no alternatiye7 There is one consolation
when the bill gets to the House, which
has no executive sessions to mystify the
country, there are members who will in
sist on having these questions answered
before voting 10 put more money into a
similar position a. that invested in the
Pacific railroads.
