SCOTLAND NECK ITEMS.

Scotland Neck, N. c., Dec. 11-(Spe
cial.)-Criminal court at Halifax ad
journed yesterday. There have been
many criticisms passed on the light pun
ishment inflicted on most of the crimin
ais. AS the court closed and every
body was leaving the court house there
was strong feeling manifested by
a crowd Of witnesses who mad attended
two courts in q case which was finally
submitted and the witnesses turned away
without cent for their time The cost
in the case was nearly 5000, but the
Judge scaled it to $37. That left most
of the witnesses without anything. They
said they had been in attendance upon
two courts, and tears were seen in some
eyes at the treatment. Some Of them
were Populists, and when they asked
if there was no remedy for such treat
ment, some replied that there Is
remedy at the ballot box, whereupor
there were declarations that they never
would vote for such again.
Reuben Smith, who was charged witt
the murder of another colored man nam
ed Lawrence Howell, submitted to q
verdict of manslaughter, and was sen
fenced to three and half years in thu
State prison.

THE HAWAIIAN PROGRAMME.
The Prevailing Opinion Seems to b'
That Treaty Should be Considered Be
hind Closed Doors.

The Prevailing Opinion Seems to be
That Treaty Should be Considered Be-
hind Closed Doors.
Washington, D. c., Dec 11.-The sup
p0rters of the Hawaiian annexation
have definitely decided to consider the
question in executive session of the
Senate. In order to do this it will be
necessary for them to take up the
annexation treaty rather than a joint
resolution providing for annexation.
Some few of those who support Hawaii
in this matter were at first inclined
to believe that unless it became evident
that the two thirds vote necessary to
secure the ratification of the treaty was
assured from the beginning it would
be a waste of time to take the matter
up at all upon the basis Of the treaty
but they appear to have changed their
minds or to be at least disposed to defer
to the opinions of the majority who OPP
pose this course. 1t is now stated on
behalf of the pro-anneXatlonists that to
abandon the treaty at the present time
would create me impression that they
had surrendered the fight entirely. They
also think that the consideration of
the question in secret session will serve
to bind those who profess to be favor
able to annexation and make sure of
holding at least a majority of the SEN
ate for resolution if it should in the
end bemade evident that it is necessary
to resort to this means of securing ia
vorable legislation. There is also a still
greater reason for desiring to have the
treaty considered behind closed doors
which actuates the committee on For
eign Relations This is the fact that
Japan's attitude towards annexation is
such as to involve some delicate ques
tions which the members of this com
mittee think it not advisable to air be-
fore the public in the way that they
might be aired if the matter should be
taken up for debate in the open Senate.
The staunchest friends of annexation
admit that it will be well nigh impOssi-
BILE TO secure the two-thirds vote neces-
sary to ratify the treaty, but they con-
tend that they will come very near
reaching the necessary number OF the
sixty votes necessary they claim to
have "a pledged, and think it possible
that they might secure two or three
more votes. Their plan, however, con-
templates a full debate of the question
on the treaty in executive session and
the subsequent transfer of the matter
if necessary to the open Senate on a
resolution similar to that by which Texas
was annexed and the pressing Of this
resolution to a speedy vote The reso-
luton will require only a majority Of
votes, but to be effective It will be mel
cessary that It should also pass TIE
House, where delay is feared.

AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.
Meeting of Republican Leaders, Who
Are Trying Thus to Mollify Their
Hungry Henchmen.

| Washington, d. c., Dec ia large
! Iy attended meeting of Republican rep
representatives in Congress was held to-
night at the River and Harbor commit
tee room to devise means for securing
a change in tine present civil service
law. About sixty members were pres
ent. 1t was noticeable, however, that
Speaker Reed, Mr.. Dingley and other
| leaders of the House did not attend.
Among those present were Messrs. GrOs-
venor, Brown, Weaver, Shattuck, Ly-
/ brand and Bromwell, of Ohio; Reeves,
Warner, Prince, Mills, Belknap and
Connolly, of Illinois; Steele, Faris ant
Landis, of Indiana Bingham, Packer
and Young, of Pennsylvania; Tanner,
Eddy and letcher, of Minnesota; Hep
burn, of Iowa; Pearson, White and Lin
ney, of North Carolina; Corliss. Smith
and Snover, of Michigan; Walker, of
Virginia; Evans and Davidson of Ken
tucky; O'Dell and Mahoney. of New
York; Sulloway and Clark, of New
Hampshire; Mudd, of Maryland; John
son, of North Dakota; and Strobe, of
Nebraska. AS indicating the Represen-
tative character of the meeting, it was
stated that Twenty-Five States were rep
resented, including fourteen chairmen of
committees.
Representative Hepburn acted as
chairman.0 Discussion took a wide
range, but, in the main, was temperate
and conservative. The main speakers
were Representatives Connolly, Gros-
venor, Evans, Faris, Mahany and Dorr.
1t was finally determined to name a
committee to devise a plan Of action,
and the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That the chairman appoint
a committee of seven, the chairman of
which shall be Represe ntative GrOsven-
or, of Ohio, with the chairman of this
meeting as a member, who shall exam
inc the bills pending before the COM |
mittee on reform of the civil service, |
and report to a subsequent meeting of
this conference by bill or Otherwise"
The chairman named the following |
committee: Grosvenor, Hepburn, Pear
son, Tawney, Evans, GDell and Steele.
The adyisibility of attacking the civil
service items in TIE legislative, execu-
tive judicial appropriation bill, which
will come before the House next week, |
was discussed, burt the consesus of opin-
ion was against that course.

Berlin, Dec 11.-(Special Berlin Ca
BILE Letter. .)-Baron Won Buelow's tirs1
appearance in the Reichstag, where five
new cabinet ministers made their debut
this week, met with an appreciative re-
ception. Even the opposition press
greets him with sympathy.
The quick settlement of the Haytian
trouble was received with satisfaction
by the entire press and nation. The
Jingoes and Agrarian papers, however,
again take occasion to preach the neces-
sity of a settlement with the United
States.
The Deutsche Zeitung, the main organ
of the German extension policy, says,
after a TRADE of abuse of the United
States for ''intermeddling in Hayti,
that ii hopes Won Buelow ''will draw ap-
propriate conclusions for his future pol
icy in regard to America, whose inter.
fering insolence needs down"
In this connection, vu~----harkS En-
peror William is alleged TO have made in
conversation some time ago, to the effect
that "ths American meddlesome policy
must cease, or we vi be obliged to
teach them luuners,' and in which he
pointedly .rerred to the necessity for Il
joint naval war against the United
States, are freely circulating in diplO-
matte and political circles in Berlin.
There has been quite a change in the
Reichstag views on the naval bill, aud
it is now thought. that, if the govern
ment takes pains to conciliate the centre
with promise of it's influence to bring
about the repeal of the Jesuit eXpuls ~
act. or a promise to favor the CatIoic
school pretensions, the measure may
pass, although it is said the Se9temoer
provision will have 10 be modi6M, WiHch,

Just fifteen men out of the thirty-six
that started lasted till the finish. No
wonder. 1t was a heart breaking, killing
pace.
All day the crowd poured in. At 6
O'Clock p. m, there was not seat left
in the big Madison Square Garden.
But at dusk things began to look Sc
rious in the neighborhood of the Gar
den. Suddenly Inspector Brooks put in
an appearance at the head of a Gordon
of 25O police. The Garden was COM
pletely girdled with blue coats and they
stretched across Madison avenue in an
unbroken line.
Slowly the clock cIawled round
YEARLY poor Miller led 'the van. Be
hind him toiled Rice and Schinner rid
ing desperately.
But it was great race. Four men.
Miller, Rice, Schinner and Hale had
beaten Hale's record Of 1910 miles.
Hale equaled his, own at o:67. He got
a floral horse shoe in honor of it.
The melancholy spectacle which had
been going on throughout the en-
tire day was frightened up to
great degree tonight by the pres
ence of the multitude, and by the
fresh and gay colors with which the
weary riders had adorned themselves.
Toward the end the band struck up its
liveliest airs. and those of the leaders
who had retired for last rub down, re-
turned to the oval and started off with
renewed energy which brought forth
a tumult of applause.
Although it could hardly be termed a
race, yet there was much excitement
furnished by the remarkable sprinting
of the long distance men. when the an
nouncers pistol indicated that the last
lap of the 142 hour race was at hand.
the vast audience rose to its feet and
cheered like mad. Around the track the
men shot, Miller still in the lead, with
Schinner, Rice, Hale and Waller fol-
lowing, and the others in bunch.
Anna Held, who had been waiting in
| a box opposite the official stand, stepped
out on the track and bestowed a gorge
ous wreath of violets and roses on the
victor. Miller then remOunted his
wheel, and holding the wreath aloft,
| dashed around the track twice. When
he dismOunted he grasped the hand ex-
! tended by Hale whom he had shorn of
his glory, and made little speech. Hale
| escorted Miller around the track, and as
! the new and old champion moved along
| the crowd shrieked Itself hoarse. There
| were les for Rice aai the sturdy
| miner. accompanied by his trainer, fol-
lowed the others.
To show his marvellous staying pow
ers, Miller again got astride his wheel,
and, following a PAGERS machine, rode
| TIVE miles in a little over FIVE minutes
and then showed few signs Of the IA
tigue he must have suffered.
Then the others fled around the TRACK
and were finally gathered together and
bundled off to the various hotels to sleep.
With the exception OF Rice, Enterman,
Miller and Schinner, none of the men
seemed to have suffered any mental
effects of their long ride. All the men
named had to be given narcotics to quiet
| them.

Brookhaven, Miss, Dec. 11.--Addition-
al details of the murder of Mes. Brown
Smith and her four children in Lawrence
County, ON Wednesday, and the subse-
quent lynching of the supposed murder
er, were received today.
After capturing Charlie Lewis, the
alleged murderer, the mob placed him
alongside of several other negroes and
asked the little girl who was spared by
the murderer, to pick out the one who
killed her mother. She at once pointed
to Charlie Lewis.
Brown Smith, the man, whose family
was murdered, pleaded with the crowd
TO be patient and not to rush hastily Gnto
a thing they might regret. He said that
while he did not doubt his child's werd,
yet she was so young that there was a
possibility that she might have been
mistaken. After parleying for some
time the mob, under the leadership of a
few determined men, made a rush fot
the negro and succeeded in getting him
from the deputies after a hard struggle
They then placed plow line around
the negroes neck, put him on a horse
and drove him under a tree. The halter
was fastened to a limb and the horse
driven from under the wretch. Lewis
denied his guilt to the last
