MOSBY FOR LEES PLACE
CONFEDERATE GU :RIlIA UPGED
FOR HAVANA CONSULSHiP.
Reed Asks Three Slices of Pie From,
the President, One For a Geor-
gia Negro.

Washington, April 1.-The Congress
sionaI contingent at the White House
to-day was unusually large. One Of the
things developed by the visit of a delega-
tion to-day was that Mr.. Mckinley has
practically decided to appoint DR.. w. w.
Thomas, of Maine. minister to Norway
and Sweden.
Speaker Reed, it is understood has
made only three requests of the Presi-
dent; one is for the appointment of DR..
Thomas, another the appointment of ex-
Congressman Aldrich, of Illinois, as min
lister to Belgium, and another the ap-
pointment Of William Pledge, OF Allan
ia, a cOlored man, as consul to Jamaica.
The two latter have been ardent follow
ers Of the Speakers political fortunes and
worked with great zeal for his nomina-
ton at St. Louis.
General Grosvenor. OF Ohio, and SeIla-
tor Bate, of Tennessee, called TO urge
the selection of General H. " Boynton
as chairman Of the Chickamauga Ma
tional Park commission to succeed Gen
eral Fullerton.
Senator Perkins, of California, and
Senator Proctor, of Vermont, accom-
panied by Col. John S. Mosby, the IA
nous confederate Guerilla, saw the Pres
ident in the afternoon relative to the
latter's candidacy for the position OF Con-
sui General to Havana to succeed Cen
eral Lee. 1t is understood that Judge
William S. Day, OF Ohio, will return
here in about ten days and after an in
vestigation Of the Ruiz case will go to
Havana OH a special mission. The most
important caller in the afternoon was
Judge Nathan Golf, of West Virginia.
There is an impression about the White
House that in the event of the retire
ment of Associate Justice Field of the
Supreme court and the appointment of
Attorney General McKenna to the bench
that Judge Golf may be induced to ac-
cept the position of Attorney General.
There is also Of course speculation as to
the possibility that Judge Golf himself
may succeed Associate Justice Field. The
Justice is now very old, but has not de-
cided anything regarding the time when
ihe will quit the bench

REMEDY OF THE RAILROADS.
Have Put the Bureau tag on Passen-
ger Association, Also, and Propose to
go Ahead as Before

Chicago, H., April 1.-The agreement
regarding freight matters, which was
practically adopted yesterday by the
Western roads, was to-day formally rat-
fed by the executive officers and is now
in effect. The freight matters took up
very little time to-day and the meeting
then turned its attention to passenger af-
fairs. The general passenger agents
some days since recommended that the
Western Passenger Association be turn
ed into a bureau of statistics and in
formation and the recommendation was
adopted by the executive officers. The
clergy bureau, and the mileage bureau
of the Western Passenger Association
will both be retained and the clerical
force OF the organization will be retain
ed. The only change in the working of
the association is that it will have here
after nothing to do with rates or their
maintenance.
There has not been Il time in the last
three years when rates in the West. both
freight and passenger were as well main
tanned as at present. There is no rate
cutting among any Of the standard lines
and every precaution is being taken TO
prevent any decentralization. The unani-
NIFTY with which the roads are keepin g
up the rates is at first rather suggestive
of an agreement, but it is utterly impos-
sible to prove that any agreement verbal
or otherwise. exists among the roads.
All Of the roads are in Il position to de-
clare that it has taken nothing but in
dividual action and more than that it is
| in a position TO prove its declaration.
Each road has for itself issued orders 10
| contracting agents, that under no circum-
stances are rates to be cut. The agents
have refrained from any action which
might under the most strict interpreta-
ton appear to justify competitor in cut
| ting rates. They have been told that
even if competitor should cut rates.
| they are not to meet the reductions. If
all the roads live up to their instructions
| to agents there will be no change what
ever or any Generalization in either the
| freight or passenger business of the
l Western roads.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION CAROLINA DAILY PAPER

Allen continued to urge the critical char
acter of the Rivera ease. The dispatches
from Havana, he said, showed that Mr..
Rivera was to be tried by military drum
head court martial ana shot. If true,
this would be a violation of every precept
of civilized warfare, and it should not be
countenanced by civilized governments.
While it might he true, as Mr.. Hoar had
said, that it was not Tor the American
Congress TO intervene, yet the American
Congress had the right to express its
own judgment and condemnation Of an
action contrary to civilized warfare. Mr..
Allen said he did not want this resolution
stitled by being committed to the Cav
erns Of the Foreign Relations commit
tee"
Mr.. Hoar in reply said he believed that
President Grant would have brought
about the freedom of Cuba if his plan
had not been overcome by Incorporate
resolutions and demonstrations. If the
| original resolution of Mr.. Cameron ten
derng in u friendly way the suggestions
| OF the United States had been adopted
| and the case left there, probably good
| would have resulted. But instead of that
the many inhammatory resolutions pre-
sented and urged had done infinite mis-
chief. Mr.. Morgan's joint resolution re,
| cognizing the existence of a state of war
in Cuba is as follows:
| Resolved by the Senate and House Of
| Representatives, that condition Of
| public war exists between the govern
ment of Spain and t-e government pro-
| claimed and for some time maintained
by force of arms by the people of Cuba
and that the United States of America
| will maintain strict neutrality between
| the contending powers, according to each
all the rights of belligerents in the ports
and territory of the United States"
The resolution was read several times
at the request of Senators. who appeared
to be greatly interested in it.
Mr.. Morgan said he would not urge il
| to-day. He did not want it sent to the
committee on Foreign Relations as that
committee already had approved such a
resolution. The resolution remained on
the table at his request. After this brief
but lively session, the Senate at 1855
p. III. went into executive session
At 5:20 p. IN. the Senate adjourned

New York. April 1.-To-day's market
might be pretty comprehensively summed
up in the one word "coalers.''
The heaviness in these stocks which
persisted ,intermittingly through the
greater part of the days trading was
the decisive influence on the course of
prices and the effective instrument Of
the bear faction. They also brought to
their aid, as yesterday, raid on the
Gould properties Out of total of 212.-
600 shares sold, over $4,000 shares were
of the anthracite coal group. The group
was the incubus on the market which
restrained the undercurrent of strength
that threatened to break out from time
TO time. Finally, the coalers and the
Gould shares themselves broke through
the depression that bound them and
jumped to higher level of prices Prices
generally throughout the list at the same
time rose to the highest of the day. The
ST Louis Southwestern issues were the
feature of the limited bond operators and
were alternately advanced and depressed

THE GRAND CANON.

The Grand Canon Stage company oi Flagstaff is now prepared to handle any number of passengers for the Grand Canon. Hundreds of visitors will no doubt make this trip this sum. mer. For all visitors who are now in Arizona, we can only say that to return home without visiting this grandest of all pieces of Gods handiwork would be an act that they would always regret. The scenery cannot be surpassed in any part of the world-grand, sublime. awe-inspiring-and we'll worth a trip across the continent to visit. Do not miss it.
 Parties holding return tickets east with stop-over privileges en route should by all means visit the Grand Canon from Flagstaff, upon their re- turn.

of this winters suffering in the gold ! region becomes known they will be thankful that they were unable to
 take the trip. Tales of narrowing ex-
 perGence are being brought back from Alaska by every vessel that re-
 turns from that region to Seattle. The
 latest news, and probably the worst,
 is that the winter season has already
 set in at Dawson, and that intense
 cold is prevailing throughout the
 klondyke territory. Word has come
 to the anxious gold seekers that sey-
 eral of the largest stores in Dawson
 have closed their doors, for the sim
 pie reason that they have nothing
 more to sell. Their stock has been
 exhausted at fabulous prices, and
 they are unable to obtain any more goods. In spite of this warming, and
 with starvation staring them in the face, the prospective gold hunters are still willing to rush in and trust to luck. It is appalling to think of how many poor devils will perish in the klondyke before the bright sun of next spring will bring to the half frozen persons who have managed to live the winter through"
