statements as to the Disclosures by
the Investigation Now in Progress In

Discuss the Gillian Situation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.-[Speciall-A
naval officer of long experience and
great prominence said this afternoon
Tho public should be acquainted with
the real gravity of the controversy with
Chilli. The investigation at San Fran
cisco is developing some very startling
FACTS and it will be well for us to appre-
clate the situation thoroughly. The
evidence taken out there shows conclu-
slvely, to my mind, that tho assault ON
our sailors was prearranged, organized
ahair and that the inquiry into the case
at Valparaiso was mere farce That
INQUIRY, 1t Is said, developed tho fact
Cnat inc riot occurred between tho hours
Oh anu & in the afternoon, and il was
alleged that the American sailors were
| drunk. "e'o
NOW happen to know, as a matter
Oh long experience, that sailors do not
get drunk so carlyin the day. 1t NAV
seem an odd or oven joking observation.
out III is the none less an important
iact with strong bearing on the case
that sailors do not get drunk befora
midnight. They never in bodv ba.
como intoxicated early in the evening.
Inc more hear from other than
CHILEAN sources of information, more
thoroughly convinced | am that the
assault was premeditated, and that it
was intended as an insult 20 this
Government"
1t was ascertained this afternoon be-
yond possibility. of doubt, that tho
Navy Department. has since tho receipt
OF the first news of the San Francisco
INQUIRY redoubled its preparations for
trouble. Activity at tho navy yard in
this city has increased, and tho NAVY
Department. is pushing every means OF
saving timc.

WHERE is MADAME M'DoNALDe
The Clnirvoyant Said TO Have Elopel
With u w ell-known Konnoker.

The CInirvoyant Said TO Have Eloped
With "a WeI-known Roanoler.
Flashy advertisements in the papers
of the city few weeks ago announced
that Madame Mcdonald, alleged to be
a renowned clairvoyant," had taken
up her residence in Roanoke, prepared
to read the future of every lovesick indi-
widual who would plank down th O cash.
The madame's reputation soon spread
among the youth and even some who
were old enough to be wise were at
tracted by her powers.
The madame was in town Saturday,
but has not been seen since. She pur-
chased furniture from Donaldson on the
instalment plan to fit up her apartments
over the First National Bank. Her bill
was due Saturday, but she informed the
furniture dealer that she could not pay
that day, but would be able to meet it
Monday. Yesterday morning brought
letter saying that she had no further
use for the furniture, and that Donald
son might go and reclaim it.
She did rushing business, and it is
said lifted about $500 from innocent
believers. But those who have not had
their fortunes told have lost their OPP
pOrtunity, for Madame Mcdonald has
departed.
A well-known young man, who it is
said was frequent visitor at the
madame's apartments, is also not to be
found in Roanoke, and it is limited
around that the two have gone together
to try their fortunes and tell other peo-
ple's fortunes in another cline.

A good oneis told on Pat
hxunl, Of Wayne county, the
candidate for governor on
the peoples party ticket. Mr..
Borden, a Wayne county
man, was in High Point soon
after the nomination, a n d
there met another gentleman
from Goldsboro. Asked who
had been, nominated, Mr.. Bor
den told him to guess-that
it was a Wayne county man.
The gentleman said he could
form no idea. Mr.. Borden re
piled that the nominee had
the reputation Of being t h e
biggest liar in Wayne coun-
ty. "Pat Exum, by thunder. :"
replied the gentleman.
4 special from Goldsboro to
the Raleigh News and Obser-
yer says: From the present
outlook Governor" Exum,
of Weaverite fame. has every
chance of "doing" his politi-
cal canvass within the walls
and iron bars of our county
Jail, as the criminal docket of
Wayne superior conrt (Sep-
tember term) has an indiet-
ment against DR.. W. p. Ex-
um for carrying a concealed
weapon and threatening the
life of Mr.. Arnold Borden, of
this city. a few weeks ago.
How would such a quick TEN
pered man like Exum. W b O
takes the law in his own
hands, be fit to occupy the
gubernatorial chair of t h {
good old North State? This
is a question our citizens are
asking themselves Just now.
And the answer comes back
that he'll never get there. As
"a bragg and ga blower" Dr..
Exum has no equal.
A gentleman in writing to
the Goldsboro Argus inreply
to a letter in the Progressive
Farmer says:
"Did not DR.. Wooten know
when he wrote to the Pro-
gressive> Farmer that the doc
tors nomination herein this
county, Wayne, had increas-
ed the democratic vote at
