POPE LEo's BIRTHDAY.
He is 80 Years Old and Was Elected
Pope in 1878.


ROME, March 2.-The pope tosday is re-
ceiving congratulations upon the occasion
of the SOth anniversary of his birthday.
He was born March 2, 1910, and was elected
TO the papacy upon the death Of Pope Plus
TX, being crowned pope March 8. 1878
Upon receiving the visit of the
sacred college of cardinals his
holiness compared the position and
difficulties of the church in present times
with the position of the church in the days
OF Pope Gregory. The pope said that he
was gretifed at the progress Of the faith in
England. He also said that If God spared
him until his episcopal jubilee he would de-
vote part Of the offering he might receive
TO the suppression of slavery.
A REPLY TO AN ADDRESS.
Cardinal La Villetta presented an address
from the sacred college. The pope, in the
course of his response, said that he had
passed another year OF anxieties and vex-
ations due to the attacks on the
church. His position was similar TO
that in Pope Gregory's pontficate, when
the church combatted the Lombards.
Though bArbarians tried his patience, Pope
Gregory's greatest trials were with internal
enemies, VINO were less ferocious, but more
evil than the barbarians. The latter
were converted, but the former re-
mained rebellious So now, the malice Of
the churoh's enemies was subtle. But
their schemes would not prevail They
would not prevent the head of tha church
from extending solicitude to the whole
world to maintain faith and unity with
Rome. He prayed for the eastern church.
and he felt oonsoled by the progress made in
England.
As Pope Gregory defended Rome and her
people against the barbarians and emperors
of Bysantium, so he did not cease to declare
to Italy that the popes were her true bene~
factors and friends. Italy's opposition was
an act of impiety and political folly.
Referring to the slavery question. the
pope said he followed the policy of hiR
predecessors, working for its abolition in
Brazil and Africa. He eulogized the powers
protecting missionaries.
THE VATICAN AND CARDINAL MANNING.
The enemies of Cardinal Manning have
spread runor that the propaganda had
sent letters Of reproof to the illustrious
Englishman on account Of his socialIstic
letter TO the Steele, entitled Rome Fran
caise" On the best Information the COR
respondent Of the Associated Press is able to
deny the rumor. The sacialistio action Of
Cardinal Manning Ii watched at Rome with
sympathetic interest.
THE VATICAN AND THE MINISTRY.
The declaration of the new Italian ministry
has been received at the Vatican with ex-
treme reserve. They walt for tho action
of the new government before judging it,
but they are convinced that the cab
met will not favor any new anti
religious laws and that IL will enforce
with moderation those now existing. A set
tied conviction in ecclesiastical circles is
that the present cabinet will not wage war,
but that 1t is unable to get out of its present
muddle. They will walk reund and round
On one spot, but they will not march for

M'KINLHY's TARIFF Law.
Four Motions to Advance the Gases
Before the Court.

Four Motions to Advance the Cases
Before the Court.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Four motions
were made in the United States supreme
court to-day to advance cases intended to
test the validity and constitutionality of the
customs administrative and Mckinley tariff
laws. The first Of these motions comes here
on an appeal from the circuit court of the
United States for heSouthern district of
New York, sustaining a decision of the board
OF general appraisers in assessing duties on an
importation Of laces by Boyd, Sutton & Co.
The counsel for the importers contends that
the Mckinley tariff act is unconstl utional
first, because the bill signed by the Presi-
dent was not the bill that passed both
houses OF congress, section having been
omitted in its engrossment; second, that it
contains provisions for bounties to
sugar producers in this country. which
under the constitution congress had
no power to enact; and, third, that section
of the act as sumes to delegate to the Presi-
dent the power to impose taxes upon i'm
ports, which power is vested exclusively in
congress and cannot be delegated.
BASIS OF THE MOTIONS.
The motions to advance are based princi-
pally upon the very great Importance of
the question involved, and the interest Of
trade and commerce and Of the government
in having the question speedily
stated that the government was
willing to have the cases advanced,
but that it desired to have the cases made
up SO as to fairly present the issues ILL
volved. which one Of the cases, at least, did
not do, in his opinion. At his suggestion
the matter went over for a week, in order
that the government might examine the

ENoLAND's NAVAL BUDGET.
Sir Colomb Wants It's Statene ents
Made Fuller

LONDON, March 2-In tho House Of
Commons tonight in the de-
bate on navy estimates, Sir J. Col
omb moved that henceforth the naval
budget must state the total number Of
war ships in commission, in reserve and
building, the aggregate tonnage of the
mercantile marine and the value Of the
sea borne commerce Of England, compared
with that Of foreign powers, besides con-
tanning similar returns from the colonies.
He dilated upon the growth OF colonial
commerce and the increase Of British re-
sponsibilities.
A NOTE OF ALARM.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt described
the speech Of Sir Colomb as similar to the
notes of alarm which naval experts are ac-
oustomed to issue to induce the nation to
believe that the naval and military ex-
penditures, enormous as they are, would be
Inadequate in the event OF war. Not single
ton of imports or exports. the speaker con-
tinued, would be threatened. By the
declaration of Paris the whole trade of a
bellgerent was absolutely safe. Not a
quarter less of corn nor yard less OF
cotton would be prevented from coming to
England, for it would come under neutral
flag.
THE STATEMENT.
Lord George Hamilton, first lord Of the
admiralty, dissented from the views Of Sir
William Vernon Harcourt. "How could
we, he asked, suddenly transfer our ton
mage all over the world to neutral flag.
Rice had been declared contraband of war;
what if wheat also should be declared
contrabandl [Hear, hear.l English ship
owners would be unwise to trust
overmuch to the declaration of Paris"
They must maintain a navy so as to hold
fighting supremacy in every part Of the
world. The government would grant the
information asked for. Mr.. Colomb there
upon modified the form Of his motion; but
it was negatived without division.

A GENTLE PROTEST
Against Claiming That the South is for

Especial Cor. Of STATE CHRONICLE.l
The Southern Interstate immigration
Convention, recently held at Ashevlle,
did many things which will be commend
ed and endorsed by the people of the
South, but in the Judgement of your
correspondent, they failed in some de-
gree, by not going on record in regard
to the attitude of some of the so-calied
industrial publications purporting to re-
present the real progress aud sentiment
of the South. The besl interests of the
South in all branches Of industrial de-
velopment are not subServed by the ad-
vocacy Of high protection ideas Pollt-
ical questions should be as far removed
as possible from the work OF inducing
immigration and investmaGt; aud giving
prominence to the question Of high pro-
lection and insinuatlng that the masses
IN the South approve the idea, is an at
tempt to manufacture or form senti-
ments adverse to the very condi-
| tions which enable the South to com
| pete with the work IN the protection

be congratulated upon having such ex.

But, among them all, l believe that
the wisest action would be the election
OF a. u. Jones, Esq, the talented and
competent and honorable member from
Wake. Mr.. Jones is no stranger to the
political history of North Carolina in the
last decade. He has been in the thickest
OF the tight and where Democracy's ban
ner waved and m st needed to be borne
alott A. d. Jones has been found. In '94
MI Jones consented to carry what was
regarded as the forlorn hope and become

His opponent was popular and capable

ran because he thought the fight ought

offices. He was triumphantly elected
and 80 was the entire Democratic ticket
in the county. Every year since, though
the county has been in Republican
hands, he has fought valiently, and il
1890 he led the fight in Wake which re
suited in Is Democratic tidal wave vic
tory. He made brilliant canvass ant
reused the people. Last year Wake wa
the pivotal county, and Mr.. Jones re
deemed it, and the party in all the Stat
owes him lasting debt of gratitude.
He is a fine pariamentarian, a man o
the loftiest character and purest patriot
ism. He has been endorsed by man
Alliances and is in hearty accord wit
the farmers in their crusade for bette
and juster legislation.
Give US Jones for Speaker. I do nc
ask that he be chosen because of his res
idence. But l do insist that the fac
