He Announces Having Seen the Error of
His Judgment.

In the house of commons Monday
night the secretary of state for war
said in reply to questions that Sir
William Gordon Cumming was the
first person to break faith in the bac-
carat scandal, because he failed to re-
port the case to his commanding officer.
OF the three officers concerned Gen.
Williams was on the retired list, and
not amenable to discipline. Lieut..
Levett had expressed deep regret at the
part he took, and the prince of Wales
had authorized the secretary to state
that he now saw the error of Judgment
which he had committed, The govern
mcnt did not propose to take further
action. The statement was coldly re-

Mr. McAdoo's conclusion is that a
very high or substantially prohibitory
tariff in the United States is bound to
force, in spite of all mere restrictive
measures, large, unhealthy, undesir-
able, abnormal immigration of those
who care nothing, and desire to know
less, about our citizenship, an immigra-
ton which is inimical to American
labor and contrary to the best interests
of the whole country, He concludes, also,
that it will lead eventually to dam
gerous alien ownership of American
properties and to alien control of our
;adua+r;as .ud SlvmeSUIc commerce.

THE ENGINEERS.

The engineers OF Roanoke in their
meeting last night had present in person
and by letter some forty odd gentlemen
distinguished in the profession.
The purpose is to organize State
association of engineers. AS it is to be
a State organization, they were not will
ing to enter into an organization until
other members of the profession
throughout the Statehad been notified.
Hence the call for meeting on April 4.
There are more engineers who have
headquarters at Roanoke than at all the
other places in the State, but this is not
an organization for any special section.
For this reason the committee will en-
deavor to communicate with all en-.
gineers throughout the State and ask
their cooperation. But there can be
no doubt but that Roanoke is the
natural center for the organization.

JUSTIFICATION.

Scurrillous attacks having been made
upon THE TINES for accepting guaran-
tees that the public improvements
would be carried on under proper safe
guards and for supporting the bond or
dinances, we can only say that it will
all be explained in time, and that when
such leading citizens as S. w. Jamison,
e. G. Pechin, e. III. Stewart and ]. S.
Simmons consent to suspend judgment
as to the Council for the time being and
vote for the ordinances, there is no
good reason for maintaining an opposi-
ton which would thereby become fac
tious and against public interest.
