TREATY / DISCUSSED
Europe Seems to Fear an An
glo- American Alliance.
THE PRESS COMMENTS
IAN AGREEMENT TO PREVENT
QUARRELS ABOUT TRIFLES."
WHAT THE PREMIER HAS TO SAY
A Singular Lawsuit Between the Rival
Pretenders to the hrone of France
r, sumed Before the Civil T ri
bunai of Paris.

London, Ian. 23-From the general
tone of the Continental press it is evident
that Europe looks askance AT the Anglo
American arbitration treaty and seems
to fear an Anglo-American alliance. The
Marquis of Salisbury directing at Prince
Bismarck lin his speech in the House Of
Lords on Tuesday last, appears to have
touched &; sore point in Germany. The
Premier said, referring to the arbitration
treaty:
Il can: only observe that you must nor
think we are indulging in milenial an
ticipa ton If we hope that something viii
be done by the treaty of arbitration TO
diminish the risk of war. / don't say il
will remove the greatest risks of war.
| do not say it will restrain a Napoleon
or Bismarck. But, diplomacy is full
of infinite numbers of small differences
which are caught up by the people and
press of both countries, and il they are
written upon, exaggerated and enlarged
they tend to diminish the friendship be-
tween them and give birth To feeling
of alienation and resentment"
The North German Gazette, comment.
ing upon the reference to Prince Bis
marck. refers to the arbitration treaty rs
an "agreennt to prevent quarreIs about
triaes" and rcpndiates the comparison OF
Napoleon with Prince Bismarck, wherein
tbs, North German Gazette sees another
illustration of British industrial and com.
nEprcial jealousy"
"A singular law suit between the rival
pretenders to the throne Of France was
resumed this week before the civil tribu-
nal of Paris. The Duke Of Aniou il
suing the present Duke OF Orleans for
using the royal arms Of France, ON the
ground that the Duke of Anjou is the
rightful heir TO The throne, as ne il the
|;descendant OF Louis KY Counsel fos
the Duke of Anjeu has asked that the
Duke Of Oleans be compelled 70 pay the
sum of 1000 francs for each day he con
tinues to use the royal arms Of France
The Proeureur de In Republique proposed
the rejection of the suit, declaring il
was curious to find the plaintiff asking
a republican court to confer upon him
the title of King of France TO still
further complicate matters, counsel APP

VISITING THE CAPITAL.
Hawaii's Ex-Queen Arrives in Washing
ton Rather Unexpectedly

Washington, Jan. Lilioukalani,
Hawaii's ex-queen. arrived here rather
unexpectedly this morning. Her inten-
ton to visit Washington at this time had
not been anticipated, and her entry was
as simple as any ones could be. Accom-
panied by Miss kia Nahaolena and Mr..
Joseph Helelulie, of Honolulu, and Mr..
j. \. Palmer, Of Boston, the Queen was
driven direct to the Hotel Shoreham.
Rather fatigued by her trip she retired
and refused herself to all callers. Con
cerning her visit. Mr. Palmer said:
THE Queen is travelling in her capac-
ity private lady, and have no doubt
that she viii follow the same rule here
that she did in Boston in declining any
official attentions"
How long does she expect to stay
in Washington|'
II have not the slightest idea. The
Queen enjoys travel immensely, and is
visiting Washington precisely as any
private person might do"
viii she be given an audience with
the President while she is here?'
AS to that | really cannot say. She has
not said a word on the subject, and | do
not even know that she would desire an
audience
us she on her way back to Honolulu
Il cannot say anything on that point,
either. If she has any plans at all for the
future she has not taken me into her con
fidencp"

STUCK IN THE SNOW

Pierre, $. D., Jan. 23.-The money of
the State Treasury amounting to nearly
S2S0,000 is stuck in the snow in charge of
guard of militia thirty miles east of this
city. Governor Lee and the Eew State
officials had insisted on seeing and count
ing the State cash in order to see that it
was all actually in existence and the State
Treasurer was ordered to call in all funds
from the various repositories. This was
done, a company of militia being detailed
to escort the express company EN-
ployes bringing the funds here. The money
had all arrived early Friday morning and
the Governor and his advisors counted
II carefully, not being satisfied with any
packages, but breaking all open and
counting them. This work, having been
finished and the funds being found on
hand, the Treasurer was ordered to re-
turn to the banks and was at once
started off. The snow-storm, however.
started and the train on which the money
was shipped is showed up thirty mil, $
east of Pierre.

HUsTLING AROUND THE PIE.
Railroad Commissioner and State Librar
ian the Most Sought After.

Railroad Commissioner and State Librar-
ian the Most Sought After
Now that the Senatorial question is
settled, the tussle for theother offices has
commenced. The next best plum in sight
is that of Railroad Commissioner. For
this position there are candidates galore,
some dozen or more and they have not
been modest in presenting their claims.
Following are the principal candidates
for the office now held by Mr. r. G.
Beddingfield: II. $. Walton, Of Morgan
ton; w. 10. White, of Mebane; James p.
Mason, of Chapel Hill; Rufiin Hender-
son, of Wilkes; Col l.. G.. Edwards, Of
Oxford, and Gus Patterson, OF Ashe-
vile.
A significant thing about this is that
they are all Republicans, and another
equally significant thing is that the Popu-
lists say that. as the Republicans got the
Senatorship, the Populists ought to have
the Railroad Commissioner. But no
Popuhst candidate has yet announced
himself and the Republicans have not
signifed their asesnt to such an arrange
ment and so the war for this particular
slice of pie goes merrily on.
Another place much sought after just
at this time is that of State Librarian.
Here are some Of the leading candidates;
X. A. Cobb, Of Morganton; H. G. Fol-
well, OF Randolph; e. d. Stanford, of
Yadkin; Y c. Morton, of Richmond; j.
w. LasSiter, of Wake; T.. A. Cole, Of
Moore; - Hunter, Of Wake; Miss
Cornelia c. Dixon. of Lenoir, and Mrs.
Harrison, of Raleigh
Mrs. Harrison is proprietor OF the
Harrison House and Mr.. Cole is a clerk
In the Treasurer's office. Mr.. Stanford
was elected Librarian by the Legislature,
two years ago, but the election was illegal

THE 'snHREE FRIENDS" CASE
Mr.. Harmon Says That Judge Locks
Decision was not Good Law.

DeclSlO0 WIS UUL tIoou i<stM.
Washington, Jan. 23.-Since the deci-
sion of Judge Locke some days ago at
Jacksonville, Florida in the case of the
suspected filibuster Three Friends, Attor-
ney General Harmon has given the ques-
ton raised by the defense careful consid-
Grafton and has reached the conclusion
that the decision was not good law. The
decision was to the effect that the law
inhibiting the outftting and departure
from the United States of armed expedi-
tions to aid people in its contests a
gainst the lawful authority of a nation
with which the United States is on
friendly terms, does not apply to the Gu
ban insurgents, they not being people
within the meaning of the law. The At
torney General takes a view directly in
opposition to that announced by Judge
Locke, and in order that the matter may
tie brought to a speedy determination he;
has applied to the United States Supreme
court for write of certiorari, ON the
United States court of Appeals at New
Orleans, directing that the case be at
once certified to the United States Su-
preme court for trial. The Attorney
General in speaking Of the matter to-
day said that if Judge Locke's interpre-
tation of the law that these expeditions age
not political is correct, it necessarily fol-
lows that persons engaged in them are
pirates and that he was seriously conSld-
ering the question of arresting them: IS
such. The Attorney General is very
much in earnest in this matter, and il is
not at all unlikely that heroic steps will
be taken to put a stop to the expeditions
which are constantly being set afoot in
aid of the Cuban insurgents.

Following is the text Of Senator Jones.

Upon full consultation on the situation
we believe that the controversy in Idaho
to-day is the same that was fought in the
last campaign--that the interest of the
National Demaercy demands the cleo
ton Of Dubois, who with Teller and 9th
ers, led the silver Republicans out of the
Republican party. His defeat by DEM
ocratie votes, or by the failure to obtain
them, viii not only affect our party in the
Senate, but will weaken and dissipate
our strength in the West and Central
