designs, as is evidenced by the beauti-
full oak suits, the magnifcently carved
side-boads, tables, racks, etc, that
make up their exhibit. 1t was remark

furniture were not made in North
Carolina, but they were and they de-
monstrate what our home talent can
do with our home product.
This splendid 1isplly was not only
a centre of attraction for the passing
throngs of people. but it attracted the
judges as well, and when they had
passed by the whole exhibit seemed to
be decorated with blue ribbons, first

Direct Menace.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a special to
the Herald from Caracas, Venezuela,
says: The government has received
news from the Venezuelan boundary
stations near the frontier of British
Guina to the effect that 100 men of the
British colonial police have been sent
to guard the English station in the dis
puted territory.
The administration regards this ac-
ton as a direct menace on the part of
England, followed as it does, so close
ly the message of President Cleveland
relating to the boundary uestion. Not
withstanding this report that England
is fortifying her position in apparent
defiance of the republic, great prudence
will be observed by the Venezuelan Off
GERS of the territory, and an attempt
will be made to avoid all perilous dis
putes. The point to which the British
police have been dispatched is that
first point ordered to be fortified with
Maxim guns by Mr.. Chamberlain, En-
glish minister for the colonies.
Startling reports have been received
from Barcelona to the effect that the
British vice consul at that city is con-
cerned in the revolution against the
government. Barcelona, which is in
the state of BermudeZ, while not di-
rectly on the shores of the Caribbean
sea, and is only a few miles from
that body Of water, has port of its
own called Guzman Blanco, and is a
good rendezvous for revolutionary
bands. If escape should be cut off by
sea, the insurrectionists would still

In the Cause.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-A special to a
local paper from New York says: Gen
eral Carlos Garcia, son of General Man
uel Garcia of the Cuban insurgents.
and himself a leader in the Cuban in
surrection, is in New York on business
in connection with the cause of free
Cuba.
"Unless something unforeseen hap
pens there will be a small supply Of
Havana tobacco next year" said he.
1.-THE reason for this will come through
the operations of General Gomez in
Mantanzas, into which province he has
now penetrated.
General Gomez is justified in his war
against the planters. Almost all Of
them are either Spaniards or Spanish
sympathizers-
we expect a revolution in Spain
within the next few months. The Carl
lists have told General Campos they
will give him an opportunity to carry
out his policy and if he cannot keep
his promise they will then rise in arms
and fight the present government

Of more volunteers than he can han

not to remain passive whilst the desti-

"Men at the student age are easily

Harvard students from beginning the
