NORTH CAROLINA FOR MCKINLEY.
Republicans There Said to BE Unit
for Him.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
RALEIGH, n. c., November 80. 1895.
Senator Pritchard is sparing no pains to
work up and develop a boom for Mckinley
for President, end his success is said to
be gratifying. Republicans in this state
are said to be almost unit for Mckinley.
Senator Prit chard assures me this is true.
The result of the late elections is con-
strued here as being very favorable to Nc
Kinley. Congressman Settle is for Reed,
but not only is his following small, but
the Congressman has aroused some violent
antagonisms within his own party.
The negro vote is practically unit, and
republican 1t will give Us trouble to man
ag. it. There is little effort to give life to
faction. but its following is small. The
rank and file await the orders of the par
tvs committee.
Senator Butler ia already at work push
ing his plan for the capture of all the
Senate committees by the silver men. He
said to The Star correspondent that It
would require no effort to make this cap
ture provided the silver Senators kept
their pledges. He began his work in this
direction three weeks or more ago, and
declares positively that a majority of all
the Senators are pledged to silver. There
is good reason to believe that within the
past few days he has become convinced
that he can hold only the populst Sena-
tors to such a pledge.

LYNCHING IN TENNESSEE.
Colored Men Hanged by n Mob After
Conviction.

Joseph Robinson and Ozias McGahey,
both colored, were taken from the jail at
Fayetteville. Tenn, Friday night by mob
composed of people from Lincoln and Mar
shall counties and hanged.
The men had been taken from Nashville
to Lewisburg, Marshall county, in the
morning, tried for attempted felonious as
sault, convicted and sentenced to the full
penalty Of the law, and a train had been
held to take them TO Tracy City.
At Fayetteville, in the adjoining county,
sympathIzers of the Marshall county mob
held up the train and forced the side-track-
ing of the car containing the sheriff, guards
and prisoners. over the protests of the lead
ing citizens. The sheriff then placed the
prisoners in jail, from which they were
taken.
That night Gov. Turney received a tele-
gram from the sheriff calling for troops.
One hundred Of the State Guard were
speedily under arms and at the station,
ready to leave at o'clock.
Later a telephone message was received
stating that the Jail had been stormed and
the prisoners lyLcehd. Fayetteville is lS
miles by rail from Nashville.

MICHIGAN FOR MCKINLEY.
n. Alger Wants to Lead the State
Delegation.


Delegation.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. 30. 1895.
The convention to elect delegates to the
national convention will be the first one
held. There is some talk of holding it Feb
ruary p in Detroit, the day before the
Michigan Club banquet. 1t is claimed by
so doing those who wish to attend both
the banquet and convention can do so at
great saving Of time and expense, but
the movement is strongly opposed in all
parts of the state. 1t is looked upon as a
snap movement in the interest of certain
candidates for delegates, and that 1t would
lead to much future trouble and possible
disaster. 1t Is pretty certain the conven-
ton will not be held so early. Gen. Alger
wants to head the Michigan delegation, and
there is a general disposition to let him
have 1t. He has carefully laid away his
presidential boom and now aspires to be
Secretary of War in the cabinet of the
next President, If republican. By being at
the head of the Michigan delegation he
would be in a position to throw the Michi-
gan vote to the right man at the right
time, and would reinforce his claim for
recognition later in the season by a sub
stantial draft upon his bank account to
the credit OF the campaign 1uno. zen.
Alger was booked for Secretary of War
in President Harrison's cabinet, but he was
turned down when Senator Sherman threat
ened to oppose his confirmation.
Shermans enmity was based on the
transactions in the republican convention
of 1855 to which he refers in his book.
Gen. Alger has seen fit to deny that he
bought the southern delegates pledged to
Sherman.
The only uncertainty that accompanies
his candidacy is what Pingree will do
about 1t. Pingree may himself want to
head the Michigan delegation, but It Is
hardly probable that he will go on to
smash things SO early in the game.
Senator Burrows wants to be another
delegate at large, and would like to pre-
side over the convention, either as tenn
porary or permanent chairman. The Pin
gree forces are much more liable to make a
fight on him than on Alger, and in that
event would probably put Charles r. Sigh
of this city to the front. Thomas j.
O'Brien of this city, Charles H. Hackley
of Michigan and Perry Hannah of Ira
verse City are among other possibilities.
If the convention were to be held today
the Michigan delegation would be sold for
Mckinley. Allison, however, has many
friends. especially among those who, while
they admire Mckinley, believe the views
he entertains and the idea he represents,
would put the party on the defensive from
the very start. In the last convention
Michigan was against Harrison, and he IL
the last man Michigan would shout for in
the next convention.

Ritzville correspondent In q com.
municat!on published yesterday, calls
attention to the duty imposed upon
the present legislature by the state
constitution OF providing for a census
OF The states population during the
present year. He also concludes-upon
what authority is not appareat-that
a special session must be called after
such census Is completed. to reappor-
ton the membership in the state leg
is.ature; that the terms OF all senators
expire with the present legislative term
OF two years. and that at the next cleo
ton an entire new senate VIII be
elected.
There Is nothing In the clause quoted
BY our correspondent authorizing, d.
recting or suggesting special session
for purposes OF reapportionment. The
census taken this year will be submit
ted 70 the next legislature. through
the secretary of state by the governor.
Tor its action The superintendent will

Port Townsend, Jan. q, 1855
To the Editors Does the clergyman Of
the Church OF England receive yearly
salary or does he have to depend on the
eeuections Of he church,
CONSTANT READER.
The clergy Of the older parishes in the
Church of England derive their income
from tithes and endownents made by
private individuals. the amount varying
according to the generosity Of the people
or past centuries and the increase or de-
crease In the value OF the land frcm
which the income Is derived In the new
parishes, formed by division of the older
ones. the clergy depend on voluntary SUBJ
scriptions and collections taken IN at the
services, as well as on private endow-
ments. Another source Of Income is fur.
nished by the ecclesiastical commissions
erE About sixty years ago the property
OF the dioceses and deans and chapters
OF all cathedrals was put In charge OF
this body. the salary OF each church Of.
hcial to whom It had formerly belonged
was placed at dxed sum and the sur
plus converted Into fund for repairing
old and erecting new churches and par
sonages and Increasing the income OF
poor parishes. There Is no uniformity i'm
the population or income of parishes. One
may have 5000 or 4.eO0 people and an In
come OF only few hundred dollars.
while others have only few hundred
people and incomes running as high as
$1,000 year.

An idea OF the commercial prominence
Of New York City may be had by noting
the large proportions Of all the imports
into this country that find :heir way
into Its barber ana through Its customs
house. Roughly stated the imports OF
1884, according to the statement OF the
secretary CT the New York; Chamber OF
Commerce. were az follows: OF the on
tire imports OF wool. chiefly carpet wool.
two-hfths came through New York, one
half Of the imports of sugar, Tin, plates
and earthenware, two-thirds OF the i'm.
ports Of tea, manufactured nax and to-
bacco. three-foufths OF the imports OF
manufactured cotton, hides and skins
and wine, fonr-fifths Of the coffee, man
ufactures Of wool and furs. six-sevenths
OF the imports Of lead and manufactures
Of lead, nine-tenths OF the manufactures
OF silk. and ninety mine hundredths Of the
imports OF crude rubber. From this It
VIII be seen that about all of the great
staple innportations are entered through
the port OF News York.
