Want Another Train.

Just at this time another freight
train is badly needed between Winston
and North Wilkesboro. Last weeks
Hustler says: Wednesday night the
incoming freight was several hours
late, caused by the heavy load-it left
Winston with twenty cars and bring
loaded with produce. etc Besides
this, it would be a great convenience
for our merchants to have daily
freight leaving this place, as there Is
a quantity of perishable stuff that
should be shipped every day.

What Shreveport Needs Next.

AS Shreveport has several rail-
road lines now, and thereby has
access to the large and important
northern and western markets it is
advisable that the citizens and
those who live in the surrounding
country establish Fruit and
Truckgrowers Association and
Shippers Union.
One single fruitgrower can make
a success of raising perfect truck,
but it would be uphill business to
ship it with success, as L think
some have experienced who have
tried it this season. Not only the
growers but the business OF the CT
ty ought to become Interested in
the establishing Of such an asso-
citation, as all would reap much
benefit from it, to wit. The small
land holders could utilize lots that
are now grown up in weeds, in
planting fruits and vegetables to
be sent to market; the merchant
becomes interested as by the great
er earnings, more money comes
into circulation; the hotel keeper
will be benefited by more travel
ing men coming to solicit con-
signments for the commission
merchants-euen the mayor and
city council should help to estab-
lish such an institution, as truck
and fruit growing around the city
would give employment to hum
dreds Of now idle womel4 and idle
children.
The associa ton should have a
packing house where fruit and
vegetables can be packed in a un-
form and presentable shape; as
people in the north are very par
| ticular as to the looks OF things.
This packing house should and
must have an experienced mana
ger who will search for the best
markets; advise the planters what
to plant to be most proftible and
| in demand i'll the different mark
cts; keep posted as to quotations
and see that the packing is done
properly. He is also to see to the
proper condition of the refrigera-
tor cars furnished by the transport
tation companies; also to the
proper stenciling of the goods, as
well as the grading of the produce.
There are several features too
mum berless to mention here now,
but the writer will ftom time to
time write on the following, to wit.
1. Where to procure the best
seeds, plants and trees.
2. What varieties to plant.
3. How to cultivate fruit trees
in a commercial orchard.

the uneasiness felt abroad over the East
ern situation. A break in British consols
also had more or Iess>nfluence on timid
holders. Shortly after midday the bears
resumed aggressive tactics, and under their
sales the market gradually declined Vague
rumors were circulated to the effect that
the new administration intended ordering
warships to Havana at once to protect
American citizens, and this added TO the
bearish feeling in the late trading Another
uDfavorabie development was the passage
OF the maximum freight tariff law by the
North Dakota legislature. This measure
gives a commission power to fix freight
rates and provides for long and short
haul clause.
Still the traders do not know which way
to put their money. The break was not
OF such a violent nature as TO throw the
street into panic. But neither was il
the promised continuance OF the rising
prices. IL you want to stay out of the

Mr.. Northway Appointed on Joint
Committee to Investigate
District Cha rites.

Only two members, Dockery and Dali
zell, were present when the House OF
Representatives was called to order at
$50 O'Clock yesterday morning.
The enrolment of the sundry civil bill
was announced.
AT 1905 O'Clock message was received
from the Senate announcing its action on
the deficiency appropriation bill and the
labor commission bill.
Mr.. Phillips, author of the latter meas
ure, moved that the House concur in the
Senate amendments, which was agreed 10,
amid applause, after the amended bill had
been read.
The history OF the negotiations between
the conferees of the II ouse and Senate on
the deficiency bill was recited to the Fl House
by Mr.. Cannon. He hoped it would be
the policy Of the House that these bills
should be confined to appropriations for
meeting the current expenses of the gov
ernment and to pay legal claims. The
amount involved in the items Of difference
was about $3,U0o,OOO.
Mr. Richardson asserted that the gentle
tion bills with amendments that were not
in order under the rules, and said he ought
not TO condemn those in favor OF the pay
ment Of the Bowman claims III the House
and elsewhere for attempting TO do that
which he and his committee had flagrantIy
done.
The chair announced the appointment
OF Mr.. NOrthway as a member OF the joint
committee To investigate the charities OF

Blue, resigned.
Mr.. Cannon moved that the House fur
ther insist upon its disagreement to the
remaining items in differ ence.
MI. Bingham of Pennsylvania demanded
a separate vote upon each amendment,
the effect OF which was to keep the bill
before the House.
MIR. Bingham Withdrew his dem for a
separate vote on the amendments. and at
11:40 Mr.. Cannon's motion to further dis
agree and consent TO a conference was
agreed to, amid some laughter over the
gross improbability of anything being ac-
complished.
The customary vote of appreciation of

WEYLER BACK In HAVANA
Expedition Into Santa Clara an Eyi-
dent Failure.
CoIdly Received by the Spaniards.
3IcKinIey's Installation May Have
Hastened His Return.

Havana March 4.-Captain General Wey-
ler arrived here at 5 O'Clock this after
noon from Caibarien. province OF Santa
Clara. He was accompanied by the men,
bers of his staff. The arrival OF the party
caused somewhat of a sensation among the
Spaniards, who could not imagine why
to reach Havana.
Gen. Weyler, on landing, was received by
the Marquis de AhuInada, who has been
acting in his stead during his absence, and
other authorities. There was no great
crowd present, and the scene was vastly
different from that which characterized
Iis return from the pacification of the
province of Pinar del Rio. Instead of rid
ing through crowds of cheering admirers,
he walked from the waterside to the pal
ace, where he soon retired to his apart
nlents, without having received any popu-
lar welcome This was due, perhaps to his
unexpected arrival, which did not allow
of any official preparations being made to
wel1ome him.
No reason is given for Gen. Weyler's
return to Havana. 1t is generally well
known that his campaign in Matanzas and
Santa Clara has been an ignominious fail
ure, and that, while he was claiming TO
have compelled the insurgents to retreat
eastward to Puerto Principe, they had, in
fact, lodged past his columns and pursued
their way westward It is thought that
the change in administration in Washing
ton may have much If not all, to do with
his return, as he has been led to believe
that President Mckinley will not sanction
tbe ILLEGAL arrest and detention of merjcan
citizens, which, iE many cases, passed
without protest from the Cleveland govern
ment.

At $40 Mr.. Hale presented the con-
ference report on the general deficiency
bill. t merely gave the amendments by
number on winch an agreement had been
reached and of those on which the CON
ference committee had been unable to
agree. The latter were more numerous
than the former The report was agreed
to, but the usual request for further CON
ference was not made.
The gallery doors were not opened until
10 O'Clock, ana then the crowds W no had
been waiting flowed in, and soon every
seat was occupied, except in the sections
reserved for the diplomatic corps and
for the families OF Senators. About this
time Mr.. Carter vacated the chair and
Vice President Stevenson occupied it.
After a little while. however, he Welded
it to Mr.. Hoar when a resolution was Of
fered by Mr.. Morrill,, and unanimously
adopted, rendering To the Vice President
the thanks OF the Senate for the dig

At l O'Clock the labor commission bill ,
enrolled and signed by the Speaker was
sreceiyed from the House and was signed
by the Vice President and dispatched to
the President.
AT 1890 a message was received from
the House stating that that body had
agreed to the Senate amendments to the
labor commission bill.
MI Eoar offered q resolution which
was agreed to, for the appointment of a

to wait on the President OF the United
States and inform him that both houses,
having concluded the business of the

bad enough to be very much the opposite

A moderate inquiry for investment ao-
count and little speculative buying i'm
parted a firm tone to the market in the
early operations at the Stock Exchange.
The improvement, however, was of slight
proportions, and before the expiration of
the first hour OF business the trend of
prices was downward. A period of mac
tivity followed, the disposition to await
President McKinley's address before en-
