ROCKY MOUNT, IN. O.-The busine SIS
outlook for tho new year is more PROM
Using than many anticipated.
The balmy, spring like weather is
gre lily enjoyed. To the poor OF this
mountainous section il is perfect
boom. There has been really no suf-

The people OF Roauo6e have a rich

announced in tho city papers.
The writer, who has had the rood
fortune to hear all of the leading
readers for the public of the present
day, does not hesitate to say that, in
his Judgment. Mr. Barr is the peer of
any American who has yet appeared as
reader in public, either OF comedy OF
tragedy. No pen sketch can do him
justice. He must be heard to be appre
ciated
Mr.. Barr will be assisted in music al
programme by Mrs. Blanche Douglass
Hoffman, of Rocky Mount, and Mrs.
Seligson, of Roanoke. Mrs. Hotfman's
merited and widely extended rcputat ion
as vocalist and Mrs. Seligson's repu-
tation as brilliant pianist, will, no
doubt, attract the great mass of the
music loving people of Roanoke.
The proceeds are for the Joint benefit
of St. Johns, Roanoke, and Trinity,

behalf, both in Roanoke and this place,
togeti er with the acknowledged talent
engaged. insures q brilliant success FOR

THE GOVERNOR GETS HIS BACK UP
He Has Accepted the Gauntlet Thrown
Down by the Athletic Club.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. l1.-The
governor of Florida has got his his back
up. Tho numerous defiances and mani.
festos OF the Duval Athletic Club has
clinched his determination to stop the
Corbett- Mitchell fight at all hazards.
The club has thrown down the gauntlet
and he has accepted the challenge.
His adjutapt general, Patrick Hous-
ton. is in the city under orders OF the
chief executive, who is also com nander
in chief of the State troops, to invcsti-
gate tho situation and report. The adj
jutant general and sheriff Broward were
closeted in room of the Everett Hotel
for over an hour this morning and the
situation was fully discussed
The Southern Associated Press cor
respondent met the adjutant general to
night and asked him if he was here to
stop the fight. He said, "No," adding
that he was here simply in obedience to
the orders of the governor instructing
him to investigate as to the situation
and report. He could not say what tho
intentions Of the governor were. He
could not even express an opinion con
corning them.
1t is the general opinion here that
Governor Mitchell proposes to stop the
fight if he has to mass tho entire
militia of the State at Jacksonville.
No one who ever understood the real
situation has ever believed that the
contest would be permitted in Jackson
vile and, in spite of the repeated de-
clarations of the athletic club to the
contrary, these dispatches have so

THE DAY IN THE SENATE.
The Members Hear Both Sides of the
Hawaiian Biacussion.

Hawaiian Biscussion.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Tho Senate
was entertained to-day with two able
speeches Or the subject of Hawaii. The
first was by Da is rep, Mimi in
continuation Of that which ne had com.
menced yesterday, and the second by
Turpie (Dem., Ind
Davis argued that the appointment of
Blount as commissioner to Hawaii,
without the advice and consent Of the
Senate, was Presidential invasion of
the privileges of the Senate for which
history OF imperial Rome.
The hauling down of the American
flag in Honolulu came in for much de-
nunciation on tho part of Davis, in
which he was sustained by other Re-
publican Senators, and he wound up his
speech by the declaration that in the
sublime Judgment Of tho American poo
Pile. the Presidents Hawaiian and fiscal
policy would be condemned.
Turpie took the broad going that the
provisional government Of Hawaii was
a de facto government which could not
rightfully be iDterferred with, but that
no treaty or project Of annexation with
it could be honorably entered into by
the American Government.
Minister Stevens was held up to ex-
ecration as an unworthy minister and
man for his coarse expressions as to the
queen, who had been his hostess for
many mont this; and he was characterized
in Turpie's forcible language as q SPY,
an migrate, and al outlaw.
Davis and Turpio each occupied the
floor for two hours. The other business
of the day was unim portant. After a
short executive session the Senate at )
p. m. adjourned till tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO MAILS.
New South Wales VIII Continue to Pay
Subsidy.

New South Wales viii Continue to Pay
n Subsidy.
The mail service between Sydney
and San Francisco, via New Zealand,
has been carried on for about twenty
five years, says the New Zealand
Herald. Formerly New South Wales
was a party to the contract, but lat
terly the contract has been between
New Zealand and the Union Steam
ship Company only, his colony, in
stead of contributing Il subsidy, pay
ing for carriage of its mails according
to their weight. In November, 1892,
the contract expired; but it was not
thought advisable to allow it drop,
and it was therefore renewed on New
South Wales agreeing TO pay $4,000 for
conveyance of it's mails for one year
till November, 1898. On expiry then,
the contract was again renewed for
another year on the same terms. The
question of what should be done when
it expired this month came up at the
Postal Conference held at Wellington,
\. H., last March, when q resolution
was passed in favor Of continuance on
the same terms. A letter was recently
received from the New Zealand Post
Office, stating that the Government
of that colony intends to renew the
contract from year to year, and ask
ing New South Wales to renew it's
contribution of e4000 a year. The
matter having been under the atten-
ton of the Cabinet, it has been de-
cided to renew the contribution of this
colony for one year, subject to the ap-
prevail of Parliament.
