Here is the most categorical affirmation

church that has ever yet been made. to
my knowledge. in the legislative halls
of our country. The man who spoke in
this way Is a nationalist liberal. He
propounds q doctrine entirely opposed to
the Catholic doctrine, that Is to say. that
a Catholic Is not bound to be a Catholic
in his public life. This is q fundamental
error. which may lead to the most de-
plorable consequences. Ii is my duty to-
day to give you a solemn warning. Under
existing circumstances Il Catholic cannot.
under pain of committing mortal sin, vote
for the leader of "a party who has so
publicly formulated such an error; and
the partisans who support him in the er-

licly disavowed that error and formally
pledged themselves to vote for a remedial

to promote, as legislator, sectarlan In
terests, the influence of Catholicism
was massed almost solidly against him
at yestefday's polling. At the same
time the Liberal leader welded tre-
mendous personal influence. AS one OBJ

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 12.-The steam
er Three Friends, which was seized at
the mouth of the St. Johns river last
Saturday evening by the revenue cutter,
Boutell, acting under orders from the
Treasury department at Washington
through the collector of the port, was
formally libelled and attached to-day.
The boat is now in -ge of deputy
marshal The libel der section 52S3
Of the Revised Stat !, which provides
against the fitting out IF an armed vessel
to cruise or to commit hostilities against
subjects or property of any foreign coun-

OF Cuba to cruise or to commit hostilities
against subjects and property Of the is

The afternoon session was closed to-day
by Rev. Mr.. Huffman, Of Henderson.
He is one Of the wittiest, yet most pa
thetic men among the Baptists of Car
olina. He spoke nightly Of the relief
board. Here the session adjourned.
The evening session was opened with
praise service conducted by Rev. L. NJ.
Huneycutt, after which President Marsh
called for the report of the committee on
State Missions. This was read by Rev.
Mr.. Richardson. A motion was made
and carried to adopt the report, after
which Mr.. Richardson spoke on the re-
port. The report recommended an appr0-
priation Of SIS, 900 for the State Mission
work. Before the war begun in Cuba,
the Baptist church had 2,275 communi-
cants. Mr.. Richardson's remarks anent
the struggles Of the early days Of the
North Carolina Baptists were both inter
esting and amusing.
The next speaker was w. r. Bradshaw,
of the 'State of Wilkes" He said: I'VE
have plenty of Baptists If you shake
any bush they will run out" He is de-
cidedly original, and pleased everybody.
Hon. j. G. Scarborough was the next
speaker, and he spoke of missionary work
in the factories. Said North Carolina
was destined to be a great manufactur-
ing State. He also spoke touchingly Of
the condition of the poor factory child
He said if you take the Baptists and
the Methodists out OF our State, the
balance of the people would be mighty
lonesome. Said "the Baptists and the
Methodists had carried the gospel TO
the swamps of Carolina" Said the chill
dren should be taught to read in the Sun
day Schools.
J. f. Ray, of the Raleigh Institution for
the Blind, next addressed the convention.
His talk was confined to helping mission
aries by prayer.
Rev. J. e. White then presented DR..
Huffman, whom some one here to-day
called that old saint" He appealed to
the brethren to raise the debt of $4,000
which now hangs over the State Mission
Board. During his talk he grew pathetic,
and tears welled up in the eyes OF many.
His contributions, pledges, etc, amount
to over $500. With this the night session
closed to meet tomorrow at $3.50 o'clock.

BRADLEY JOHNSON ON CUBA.
The Insurgents viii Win.-Reeognition
War With Spain.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 12.-General
Bradley r. Johnson, who recently re-
turned from Cuba, says that he believes
the insurgents will eventually win, pos
sibly within eight months, notwithstand-
ing the enormous forces arrayed against
them.
But there is another feature" he con
tinued, "about the contest, worthy of
note. If the incumbent administration
does not take some action looking to a
recognition OF the independence OF Cuba,
it is my opinion that president-elect Nc,
Kinley will take that step Immediately
upon his inauguration as President"
what would be the effect of such n
step?'
"a declaration of war by Spain against
the United States. 1t is true that such a
war would be short-lived, resulting dis
astrously to Spain, but it would afford
Spain an opportunity, while losing Cuba,
to uphold her national honor. She would
be in position to say that she was not
overcome by the insurgents, but by a
superior power. the United States.
1T is one of the fundamental principles
of the national honor of Spain that there
shall be no surrender to any rebellion in
her colonies, and while she has lost those
in America, the loss has been by purchase,
or by methods by which her national
honor has not been jeopardized OF
course, in case of war with Spain. the
United States would demand an indem-
nifty. That indemnity would be Cuba.
And so, you see, Spain would not surren-
der Cuba to the insurgents, but to the
United States.
II can say this, that as our political
campaign has been settled, there viii be
a revival in the interest of Americans in
Cuban affairs

Mrs. Castle had been advised to plead
guilty, that it was generally felt in
English legal circles, that in view of the
change brought about by the law of 1881,
the course adopted was a right one, and
that the Home Secretary's order to re-
lease Mrs. Castle is a complete vindica-
ton of the soundness Of this advice and

1t is said by those who heard IL that

was that by Prof. Lanneau at Wake For

the Wake Forest College Scientific So

most part of a series Of beautiful and
instructive experiments, showing the
successive stages Of electrical discovery
leading up to the X Rays, and how the
rays is produced. All of these expert
ments were made with apparatus from
the laboratory Of the department OF
Physics, over which Prof. Lanneau pre-
Sides
This lecture was of such a high order
and has been so fayorably commented
upon, that there is considerable talk here
Of trying to get Prof. Lanneau to come
to Raleigh and deliver his lecture, for the
benefit of the students in the schools here,
and the citizens generally. DIR. Dim
widdie, principal of Peace Institute, has
already had some correspondence with
Prof Lanneau in regard to the matter,
and has expressed his intention of taking
certain of his pupils out to Wake Forest
to witness these experiments.
Why should not the schools and col
leges of the city take the matter in
hand, invite Prof. Lanneau to Raleigh
so that all could get advantage of his
lecture on this interesting discovery of the
last few months? Not only could this be
done, but other lecturers from different
colleges might be invited here and Sc
ries of popular lectures be arranged for
that would be of the greatest benefit to
the people of the city.
