Last winter the Atlantic eH press

at Morehead city, made complaint
against the w. & W. and the Il. & ID.
railways before the railway commits
sioners, charging these roads with dis
elimination because they furnished
cars for the Southern express company
but declined to furnish them for tle
Atlantic company. The commission

car. Thereupon the railways took the
case before judge Connor. Yesterday
the Judge handed down his decision
1t is against the commissioners ruling
and in favor of the railways and Is il
.hese words: This cause coming on

commission and defendants exceptions
thereto, and the court being of tn
opinion that the defendants were not
required under the common law or the
requirements ofthe cod (sectio 1853
and 1864, or un1er the provisions OF

mission, or uuder the rules and regu
lations of the commission, 10 furnish
to the Atlantic express company th'
facilities demanded in the complain
(other questions arising upon tn
pleadings and exceptions not being con
sidered by the COURT therefore it i
ordered and decreed that this actio
he dismissed and that the defendant

Political Points.


Mr. J. J. Laughinghouse has been
selected by Pitt county Alliance to al
tend the conference called at Raleigh
May Il.
The Carthage Blade pertinently
says: allow can man stand upon
both the Democratic and Third party
platforms? They are as opposite as
the antipodes are to u.s.
The Farmers Alliance Of PasqCo-
tank county has elected O. f. Baxter,
Jr., and VI. c. Gregory delegates to
the conference called by the president
OF the Alliance to meet here May IL.
At Third party meeting held at
Long Creek, Mecklenburg county,
Saturday, the Observer says that reso-
lutions were read and adopted, the
substance of which was that if the
Democrats endorsed the Ocala plat
form. the Alliance would vote with
them, but i not, then they would
form Third party.
Here is the direct way in which the
Lenoir Topic speaks: There is to be
Democratic meeting here Saturday,
ID which nobody but Democrats will
take part. Alliancemen and non-Al-
/ liancemen who are Democrats Will be
in it. Alliancemen and non-Alliance-
men who are not Democrats, but who
are Republicans or who are Third
party men, will not be in IT,"
The Charlotte OJseycer publishes
the proceedings of a meeting of the
voters of MalIard Greek township"
Mecklenburg county, which discussed
and adopted the 81. Louis platform
and resolved not TO support ''any nom
inee FOR office, either national, State or
said county, who will not endorse
principles contained in said platform" !"
, Those who took this action, says the
Cbserrer, took themselves, in doing
50, out Of the Democratic party. They
: have made a test which this party can
: never meet. Here and there a man

: The Elizabeth City Rconomia says
sThe great division between the Dem.
e ocratic and Republican parties is a
It tariff for protection. on the Republi
2 can side. and a tariff for revenue, OF
l. the Democratic side. The Demo
Is cratic party is doing all it can to re
n ducc the tariff on articles that farmer
t. are interested in, and yet some Of th'
; farmers are trying to injure the Demo
n cratic party and benefit the Republican
ie party. Tie tariff has Oeen reduced
'e on sugar, on cotton ties and bagging
and it is now contemplated 20 take tn
tariff off of barbed wire, all done b,

Address.

~ Telegraph u the state Chronicle.
SPRINGFIELD, H., April 27.-Be-
fore the Democratic State convention
me, this afternoon a number of Cleve-
land supporters declared that Cleve-
land was Palmer's choice for the NOM
lnation. Congressman Gable in an
interview said that Palmer in con-
versaiion at Washington had expressed
TO him a preference for Cleveland. The
accuracy of this conversation was chal-
lenged by the Palmer mtr. 30 Cable
telegraphed Palmer ON this point and
further requested his opinion or
wishes as 10 the course Of the conven-
ton. General Palmer replied as fol-
lows: Il have difficulty in making
myself understood. In despatch yes
terday asking what my wishes are,
referred in answer to my letter TO Mr..
Phelps. which you read and contains
what think | said 10 you. don't
ask absolute Instructions. don't
wish to yield anything TO opposition.
don't wish to antagonize Mr..
Cleveland. My friends. among
whom | include you, ought TO speak
on both Mr.. Cleveland and myself in
language of their own. You quote me
correctly, but to avoid further misun-
derstanding, | must refer the whole
subject to my friends and to the con-
'ention." 1t was nearly 3 o'clock
when Delos p. Phelps, chairman of
the State central committee called the
conv ntion to order. Mr.. Phelps made
a brief speech and then nominated con-
gresham j. X. Williams for temporary
chairman. Mr.. Williams was elected
by acclamation. When he had
been duly installed, he proceeded
to deliver long address arraign-
ing the Republican party on its
financial. tariff AMI other issues. He
was loudly applauded. A reference
by Mr.. Williams to Cleveland as "The
living idol Of Democracy" caused
such tumult Of applause that the pro-
ceedings had to be temporarily suspt nd
ed and the antl-Palmer instruction
men smiled. At the close of his speech
he different committees were named
and the convention took recess pend
ing the action.

New YORK., April 27.-The corner
stone of the nations monument to
General Grant on Riverside park was
laid to-day with becoming ceremonies
By noon it was computed that there
were fully eight or nine thousand per
sons on the stand. Shortly after noon,
the presidential party, escorted by
troop A Of the New York National
guard left the Fifth Avenue hotel and
proceeded by way of Broadway to
Eighth aves G to l10th street,
to Riversiue park. In the
carriages were President Har-
rison, Mrs. Grant and members
of her family, Secretary Rusk, Secre-
tary Elkins, Postmaster General Wan
amaker and many other distinguished
guests. AS the party approached the
tomb, the marine band played "Hail
to the Chief,' while heads were uncov-
cred, handkerchiefs waved and the i'm
mense throng shouted their huzzas. As
the carriage drew up in front of the
tomb, the President stood, hat in hand.
and bowed on all sides in answer to
the magnificent greeting accorded
him. After few moments quiet, the
Rev. DR.. John Hall offered up a
prayer. The president of the Grant
monument association, General Horace
Porter, then delivered an address de.
failing in brief the doings of the asso.
citation and their status since the in
ception of the project. The event o.
the day was the next on the programme
namely, the laying of the cornerstone
by President Harrison. After putting
wine mortar around the stone with ;
gold trowel that superintendent Brad,
had had made for the occasion, the ston,
was lowered into position. The corner
stone box, made of copper, was thel
filled with the relics which will b
buried in it. They were: Constitu
ton Of the United States, Declaration
of Independence; Articles of Confed
Grafton; the Bible; Memoirs of Gen

ANOTHER PHASE

oi IL. Gelsring Sea Difficulties Some
t-,.lurther Complications.
by telegraph to the State Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Further
complications in the Behring sea affairs
are looked forward to in official circles
here, from the fact which has come to
the knowledge of the government, that
the poachers who infest that sea
threaten TO fly the flag of some coun-
try other than that of the United
States or of Great Britain. All of
the vessels that have heretofore cruised
IN Behring sea and captured seal in
the open sea have been vessels flying
either the flag of Great Britain or
the flag of the United States. The
modus rice'ads agreed upon between the
United States and Great Britain pro-
vides that vessels of either country,
which violate this modas, may be seiz-
ed and tried in the country to which
the vessel belongs for the violation of
the treaty agreement. There is moth
ing, however, in the moduS about yes.
sells OF other countries being seized for
poaching, and the information that
reaches here is to the effect that En-.
giish, Canadian and United States YES
sells, taking advantage of this loop
hole, are about to be nominally
sold to parties in various countries.
Germany, Mexico and the South
American republics, and with the
flags of these countries at the mast
head enter the sea and begin their
summer campaign of poaching. This
matter has been presented formally to
the President and to secretaries Blaine
and Foster. Unless the United states
and Great Britain combine to prevent
foreign poachers from entering the
Behring sea, it would seem, in view O
the above facts, that the modus viiuendi
which was intended to protect seal life
in the Northern waters of Behring sea
would only have the effect of prevent
ing the United States and Englisl
vessels from securing seals, without a
all preventing the utter destruction o
the animals.

New YORK, April 27.-John Coode,

agreement that they should have the
right to purchase his plant and patents.
He concluded that he could do better
by severirg his connection with the
national cordage company and notified
the company that the option to pur-
chase would expire last evening. The
money was not paid and the agreement
is therefore at an end.

Mr.. J. Y. Lewis is investigating the
building stone formations of the Deep
river Triassic sandstone belt which ex-
tends from Granville county across the
State to the South Carolina line. 1t is
in this region that the finest quality
of brownstone is to be found-such
AS was used in the Wilmington post
office. Several quarries have been
opened recently about Sanford and
stone is being shipped to northern
markets. Other assistants connected
with the survey will enter upon tielc
work at an early date. In June al
the survey parties will be concentrated
in the mountain counties, where tn
work begun last summer will be con
tinuei. An important piece Of worl
recently begun by the survey, an
one in which all the assistant
will take part, is the study of tn
rocks to be found in different parts {
the State which are suitable for use j
macadamizing public roads. The IN
provement of the public roads is bein
generally agitated, and quite nun

found in quantity, and how to use
