CAPE FEAR AND YADKIS VALLEY
RAILRoAD.-Messrs. John K. Cowen'
f. J. D. Gross and WIN. H. Blackford,
who attended the hearing Of the pro-
posed removal of the receiver of the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad
Company, which took place at Green's
boro', \. c., Wednesday, returned to
Baltimore yesterday. Messrs. Cowen
and Cross represented Receiver John
Gill at the hearing and Mr.. Blackford
was interested in the proceedings as
chairman of the 6rst-mortgage bond
holders committee.
Judge Simonton, OF the United States
Circuit Court, presided at the hearing.
Matters brought out by the counsel
were:
First-Whether or not Mr.. Gill
should be removed from the receiver
ship of the property. Second-Should
the North State Improvement Compa-
ny, which built the road, be made a
party to the proceedings Third
Should the Peoples National Bank of
Lynchburg, Va, holders of some of the
second-mortgage bonds, also be made a
party to the proceedings?
The court held the question of the
proposed removal of the receiver under
Amusement and said an opinion on that
branch OF the proceedings would be
filed in few days. The court ordered
that the North State Improvement
Company should become party to the
proceedings. 1t further held that the
Peoples National Bank should be
made party to the proceedings unless
the vacancy in the trusteeship of the
second-mortgage, occasioned by the
resignation as such trustee of the Mer-
camille Trust Company of Baltimore,
be filed by appointment of a new trus-
tee by the railroad, as provided in the
deed of trust.-Baltim0re san.

After some routine business, the
House voted to non-concur in the Sen

and ordered a conference.
a resolution was offered by Mr..

RESCUED HER CHILD.-A most re-
markable escape from death occurred
at Jetersville, Amelia county, a few
days ago. A little colored boy, the
son OF Charles Pitchford, aged eight
years, fell into a we'll more than TWEEN
ty feet deep and reached the water.
His mother. with great nerve, went
down in the well on the rocks OF the
wall and rescued the child, and the lit
tie fellow came out laughing as if moth
ing had happened. The mother says
now that she has no idea of how she
accomplished the hazardous feat.

SOME OF the newspapers are now de-
batting the question, whether the ad-
ministration made mistake in sending
its late communication to the japanese
government. No matter what the eX.
act words in that communication may
have been. that mistake was made
in sending it, is plain to be seen by all
TO whom Washington's farewell address
is familiar, and who understand and ap-
preciate the wisdom it contains. This
government mas about as much, if not
more, as ii can well attend to, in man
aging It's own affairs, without going out
OF It's way in order to enter into en-
fangling foreign alliances.

Tho Recent Strike.

Al the Pullman works yesterday
Manager Middleton was busiiy engaged
registering men willing 20 work. The
announcement that the shops viii open
a. soon a. a sufficient force l. secured
has developed considerable weakness
among the strikers, and it is claimed
tnat in two hours Yesterday the mana
gers registered 325 men. About one
hundred Hollander5 were intercepted
on their way 10 the Pullman shops yes
terlay by crowd Of strikers. a free
fight ensued, in which no one was seri-
ously hurt, and. after retreating, the
Hollanders reached the shops in small
groups, and were put TO work clearing
up the works. The affair was the first
case of violence that has occurred at
Pullman property. The Debs manifesto,
resulting in the Overton edict, warning
all railroad men at the stock yards to
desist from work or be branded as
scabs," seemed TO have little effect on
the men to whom it was addressed, or
upon the situation at the stock yards
generally. Railroad employees returned
to their work as usual, switching was
continued, and the packers seemed in
clned to treat the matter as joke.
The federal grand jury yesterday re-
turned twenty-three indictments in
Judge Seaman's court and was dis
charged. In the twentythree iudict
meuts were included the names OF about
seventy-fve strikers, who are charged
with violating the federal statutes dur
ing the railroad troubles Of the last
three weeks. No indictments were re-
turned against railroad officials, because
no information was given against them.
Mr.. Debs said yesterday that the
notice said to deposited in various parts
OF the stock yards. purporting to be
signed by the A. r. L. officers, and de-
nouncing all who work there as 'scabs, "
is forgery, and that the a. r. l. Off
GERS have no knowledge az 10 the post

THE President is right in his views
in favor of low tariff on the neces-
saries of life, but that he should insist
upon removing the duty on coal, q Vir-
ginia product, in order to afford a mar
ket for that dug out ofCanadian mines,
owned by a New York syndicate,
thereby letting New England manu-
fscturers, protected by fifty, per cent.
tariff. against which he says nothing,
get their fuel free, gives the captious
plausible grounds for questioning his

Il VIEW Of the existing condition Of
affairs in respect Of the proposed tariff
bill, and Of the possible unfortunate
consequences thereof to the democratic
party, it is not unnatural to suppose
that Mr.. Cleveland may have con-
ceived the idea that it would have been
better for him, as well as for his party. if
he had not allowed his objections to be-
ing "pestored" and bothered" by Con-
gressmen, begging Offices for the men by
whose work he was elected to make him
reject the advice Of wiser democrats,
TO convene Congress in extra session i'm
mediately after bis Inauguration. Had
that advice been adopted, revenue
tariff bill would, by this time, have
been passed and been in operation
nearly a year, and many of the ills that
have fallen upon the country since
then been averted. Nor would the
poster" and bother" been increased
in the slightest degree.

DRY OF the democratic party is that in
the enactment of tariff legislation free
raw materials should always be an es-
sential and conspicuous element. The
best interests of the manufacturers as
we'll as the consumers of the land de-
mand the recognition of this wise dis
elimination. We are committed to
this side of the question and we cannot
retreat and we cannot retract. Until
recently thought the democratic party
was in favor of the doctrine of free raw
materials; not simply "freer' raw mate
rails as some now ingeniouslv contend,
but absolutely free raw materials. l
repeat that we cannot escape our record
upon this subject. The true and hon
est construction of every democratic
national platform for twelve years past
irrevocably commits US to this just and
reasonable principle. To repeal the
Mckinley law IN form simply 10 re-en-
act in effect, is keeping this promise to
the letter but breaking it in spirit. The
efforts made by the democrats of the
Congress to which the democratic plat
form points with pride and deliberately
approves were measures for free iron
ore, free lead ore, free coal and free
wool, which were then pending in Cor
gress, advocated by democrats and OPP
posed by republicans, and some of
of which had then already pass
ed or were subsequently passed.
1t is said by some in justification
or excuse for the present action, that

NEXT year the people of New
York will vote upon the bill which
has passed its legislature, creating
Greater New York, taking into
the Gotham municipality nearly
100 square miles of territory, there
by acquiring an additional popu-
lation of more than 100000.
The measure is likely to receive
a favorable vote by the people,
and then New York will have a
population of 100000, and will
stand as rival of London. If
Chicago should see fit to annex
the entire state of Illinois, making
population of 4,5oo,ooo, the
Empire state people would wish
that they had included New
Jersey in their Greater New York
scheme while they we're about it.
