Gently been subject of study by Senator
Mcmillan, who has been making diigent
inquiries concerning the condition of the
present company, the needs of the people
in that suburb and the best way to secure
rapid transit for them.
He has received petitions from many Of
them. and it has been claimed for sorle
time that the day had arrived when the
AnacoStla traction facilities should be
placed on a modern basis. Consequently he
introduced in the Senate today bill which
requires the present company to install an
underground electric system along its line
within two years from the date of the
passage of the act.
The first section of TIE bill introduced to-
day repeats the act of April 30, 1892, which
gave the sanction and apprt val of Con-
gress to the then existing route and ter!nini
of the Anacostia and Potomac Railroad
Company.
The second section provides that within
five days after the passage of the act the
A1acoSiia company shall cease to run one
horse cars on Its lines, ana within two
years snail dispense altogether with the use
of horse power on all of Its lines, and shall
substitute therefor an underground electric

The Voting Tonight.

The voting tonight promises to be prolific
of much excitement. That a strong and
determined effort to cast ballots will be
made on the part Of the A. P A. in many
of the districts seems to be generally ad-
mitted, and 1t is equally we'll known that
if such attempts are made they will be met
by obstacles in the shape of challenges
from the poll watchers. The judges will
not receive the ballot of any person who is
thus objected to, and in many instances
this action may naturally be expected to
lead to vigorous objection on the part of
those who are refused the desired right to
exercise franchise.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 6.-Between mid

crowd made an attack on a building
where man named johnson, employed
at Browns hosting works, lives. They
broke the windows and yelled like In
dians. Soldiers rushed to the scene.
Part of the crowd scattered, but a dozen
men stood at bay with revolvers and

replied with rifle balls. Then the men
scattered. In the melee Private Perkins,

Spread of Republican Sentiment in Spain
Has Been Concealed.

spread OF Republican sentiment In spain
Has Been Concealed.
MADRID, Aug. 6.-Trouble OF a serious
nature is being fomented in Spain, par
tieularIy in the province of Valencia, by
agents of the Cuban insurgents. The
minister of the interior, Senior Cosgayon,
yesterday replying to question in the
chamber of deputies admitted that riots
had occurred in Valencia, caused by the
friends of the Cuban insurgents, who
hoped thereby to prevent the departure
of reinforcements of troops to Cuba.
That the large Spanish army in Cuba
must be still further heavily reinforced
is looked upon here as being confes-
ministration and as an admission
of the growing strength OF the
Cubans. In addition, many letters
have been received in different parts
of Spain by the relatives of the Spanish
soldlery serving with the army IN Cuba,
and they tell terrible tales of sickness,
privation, incompetency ana misman-
agement. to say nothing of lack of pay,
that a dangerous feeling against the
government has arisen, and is gaining
strength day by day. Under these cir
cumstances, agents of the Cubans do not
have much difficulty in carrying out
their plan of causing popular outbreaks.
They steadily fan the flame of discon-
tent by pointing to the apparently un-
necessary hardships which the Spanish
troops in Cuba are compelled to endure.
The Republicans also are taking ad-
vantage of the situation to push their
propaganda. and the combined move
ments are making more headway with
the masses than the government will
admit, although it is already betraying
symptoms of alarm and has sent string
ent instructions to the projects to sup
press promptly and effectually demon
strations which occur in their districts,
and to have no hesitation in calling out
the military for support.

Republican Machine of Michigan Ar
rayed Against Him.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 6.-Not
in dozen years has Republican state
convention in Michigan been attended
with so much excitement, enthusiasm
and noise as the one now in session.
The chief interest attaches to the con-
test for gubernatorial nomination. H.
S. Pingree, mayor of Detroit, originator
of the PIngree potato scheme for utlliz-
ing vacant city lots for the poor, has the
second time made a determined on
slaught on the governorship. Arrayed
against Pingree is the influence of the
state Republican machine. The ma
chine candidate is said to be Bliss,
though this is denied. Although Michi-
gan is supposed to be strong silver
state, it is expected that the st. Louis
platform will be emphatically endorsed.

Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a patent

HOT WAVE IN The EAST.

w Gather Bureaus Explanation of the
Cause of the Warm Weather.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The reports of
the maximum temperature received by
the weather bureau show that the pres
ent warm wave is general. The officials
say it is very unusual for the tenpera-
ture to reach so high point in SO many
parts of the country at one time. The
heat is due to the area of high barometer
which has prevailed over the southern
portion of the country, and the low bar
ometer in the northern part, which re-
suits in great waves of heat coming
toward the north. In this city the heat
during the past few days has been in
tense and today the thermometer has
reached its maximum, registering, 90.

General Longstreet in telling of
some of his experiences in the war, said
that during the campaign of the penin-
sula he never had any opportunity OF
sleeping except as his corps was pass
ing him. One night. as he had dis
mounted, leaving his horse in the
charge of his orderly, and going down
into the angles of one of those Vir-
ginia fences, he overheard two soldiers
talking which interested him consider
ably, and, in. tead of sleeping he lis
tened to them. One soldier said to
the other: 81 suppose it's all right
that we should march all night and
fight by day. OF course it is right that
we should do that for the love ofcoun-
try, if nothing else. l suppose that
we should be poorly clothed, as we
are, for the love of country. We

Simply Appalling.

THE loss of life in the recent Moscow
tragedy, caused by the stampede Of
the half million or more people, was
simply appalling. The number of VIC
Tins who perished has been fixed at
$500. Think of it! This leads an
exchange to comment as follows:
That such multitude as this should
have perished in the open air, without
any thought of self-destruction, is
almost increditable. Bent upon hay-
ing a good time, the tragedy was SIM
ply the result of excessive indulgence
and was even more fatal than battle
between hostile armies. The Buffalo
Courier, in speaking of the number
killed, makes comparison with GER
tain well-known engagements Of the
late war. The highest number of
Union men killed was 1910, at Get
tysburg. where 14,479 were wounded.
The number of Confederates killed in
the same battle was 2,592. At Spott
sylvania, the Union killed were 2,725;
in the Wilderness, the number was
2,246; at Antietam, 2,Io8; at Chan
cellorsvillle, 2,6o6; at Chickamauga,
1886; at Cold Harbor, 1874; at Fred
ericksburg, 1,284; at Manassas, 1,747
at Shiloh, 1854; in the assault on
Petersburg, 1868. This does not in
clude those who died of their wounds.

A New Bicycle.

DR.. r. X. Gregory, of Greensboro,
has invented and patented new BIZ
cycle.
The Record says it has in addition
to the pedals for propelling, hand
bar with crank, wheels and chain at
tachment SO geared as 10 give the
rider full power of his arms and the
muscles of his shoulders and chest in
propelling the machine. This is the
utilizing Of all his physical force
equally of the power of his body
and at the same time maintain the
upright, healthful position while riding
the wheel.
This wheel will enable him TO ride
with much greater speed and more
ease and far less fatigue as he uses the
muscle force of his whole body instead
of his legs alone. From this fact it
can be readily seen what great advant-
age is gained. In rough and hilly
country the advantage is clearly very
great. This bicycle has the pneumatic
central support and non-collapsable
rubber tire, which was invented by DR..
Gregory, and il. it should be perforated
in numerous places can still be used
without injury or hipdrance to the
rider. This wheel is supplied also
with another of DR.. Gregory's inven-
tions which he has been granted a
patent on-a brake, which is re-
volving rubber wheel as the friction
surface acting on the large front wheel
at will by the hand or foot as may be
desired, and which will not cut or
otherwise injure the tire.

part of it in veins. Mining and mill
ing on either of these properties will
not cost to exceed fifty cents per
ton.
But the value Of North Carolina
gold mines is not confined to either
the nugget producers or the low grade
propositions. Many of the gold veins
of this State of comparatively narrow
width have shown grand results, even
when worked in such a manner as
would give the experienced practical
mining and milling man of to-day a
fit of horrors. Among those we will
quote Gold Hill, with a record of
four millions, the Eagle, with a record
of two, the Smart and Fulwood with
about the same, the Kings Mountain
about one million. But it is no use
to name more, these are enough to
show the value of this class of prop
erty.
None of these mines are worked
out; the Gold Hill, which is the deep
est being down less than 500 feet,
and showing large vein at the bot
tom, while the Others mentioned are
but little over hundred feet.
We know of several other mines Of
this same character which are yet vir-
gin. The Conyers, which shows a
three foot vein running from twenty
five to two hundred dollars per ton,
and several others from two to ten
feet in width, running from ten to
forty dollars of free milling gold per
ton are in this vicinity.
We do not think we have overesti-
mated in any thing we have written
above; we certainly have not done so
wilfully, and as we are pretty we'll
conversant with the subject, we do
not think we are apt to be very much
out of the way and if we are correct
then North Carolina offers in its
gold mines a better field of invest
ment than can be found anywhere
else in the United States, if not in the
world.

Living for Self Alone.

The man who lives for himself be-
queaths his own folly and poverty and
meanness for his monument. He has
benefited nobody, while he has dwarf
ed and warped his own powers, and
senseless stone of marble, however
lavishly supplied to mark his resting
place does him honor. He has lived
in himself, and has died in himself,
and all that he leaves in memory of
himself speaks no word of praise IN
his behalf, no word of Justification.
This is no true life. 1t is the worst
of failures. There are glorious opportu-
mites in this world tor services. He
who wisely uses them enriehes both
his race and himself, and dying leaves
a monument which outlasts granite
and is brighter than polished brass.

GENERALLANEH HONERED
THE GALLANT COMMANDER OF A NORTH
CAROLINA BRIGADE,
Receives rlerited Recognition at the
Hands of the University of West
Virginia-There Are Thousands Of
Tar Heels Who Have Warm Place
in their Hearts For General James II.
Lane,

MoRGANrowN, w, Va, June 10
The University to-day conferred a few
honorary degrees, chief among which
may be mentioned that of Ph. ID. upon
General James H. Lane, of Auburn,
Ala.
The General is star graduate of
the Virginia Military Institute, and was
eminently successful in his studies at
the University of Virginia, and is
Virginia born; and SO, as the Univer
sity Of Virginia never confers any
honorary degrees, the West Virginia
University took advantage Of her op-
portunity to honor this distinguished
son of her noble mother.
General Lane has for thirty years
been successful teacher of varied ex-
perience in the principal institutions
Of learning in the South He en-
tered the Confederate Army from
North Carolina at the first call to duty,
and was in command Of one of the
largest brigades in the Army of North
ern Virginia when only 2S years old,
and that, too, on the recommendation
of General r. E. Lee, L. ]. Jackson
and A. P. Hill, and was wounded
three times. His brigade also petit
toned for his promotion, not because
they wished to lose him, but because
they believed that he deserved such
honor for his skill and courage. His
men were always devoted to him, and
always spoke of him as "Our Little
General" Of this young soldier and
educator, President Davis once wrote:
81 admit that | feel warm interest,
not for himself alone but also as good
example for the youth of the South l
love so WE'LL"
In honoring such man, the Uni
versity has honored itself.
