THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Senate Will Endeavour to Secure Action
Before Consideration of Tariff Bill.

Washington, March 13.-The amend
ments to the arbitration treaty which
will probably be reported 10 the Senate
next week by the committee on foreign
relations and which have practically
been agreed to will be somewhat differ
ent from those previously submitted by
the committee. The Turpie amendment
which is of general scope will be adher-
ed to and others will ne added which will
somewhat harmonic the entire document
with this change. The Turpie provision
is added to the first article of The treaty
and it recognizes in words the Senate
as a part of the treaty making power of
the United States requiring the Presi-
dent to submit to the Senate his formu-
latfon of any claim that he may desire
to submit to arbitration under the treaty.
Another important amendment which
also looks to the recognition of the SEN
ate's prerogatiyes, which almost beyond
doubt will be submitted to the Senate
will eliminate the members of the United
States Supreme court as fixed tribunal
of arbitration. The provisions for men,
bers of the court to act as arbitrators
VIII be so modified as to require the Pres
ident to appoint and the Senate to con-
firm the members of the tribunal.
The portion of the treaty providing for
the appointment of the King of Sweden
and Norway as umpire win be eliminated,
the majority of the committee consider
ing that 10 umpire will. be necessary.
The majority of the committee hope
to complete the consideration of the treaty
in committee at the Monday meeting and
in the event of their success an opportuni-
ty viii be sought to report to the Senate
a resolution favorable to ratification with
the amendment outlined on Tuesday.
There will be an effort to secure action
of the Senate on the treaty before the tar
iff bill reaches that body from the House.

DIR. ALEXANDER AND THE MED
ICAL PROFESSION.

To the Editor.-In a recent issue Of
your paper some reflections were cast
upon the standing of DIR. Alexander the
representative from Tyrrell In the recent
Legislature, in the medical profession.
/ do not know. of course, what means
the writer had of obtaining an expression
Of opinion from the physicians generally,
but injustice was done, ] am sure, to both
the doctor and the medical profession Of
the State. as the following extracts from
the transactions Of the State Medical
Society viii show.
At the Goldsboro meeting in May, 1895,
the committee on Legislation was com
posed of Drs A. w. Knox, Hubert Hay
wood and X T. Battle, Jr., Of Raleigh,
i. d. Haigh, of Fayetteville, and t. s.
Burbank, of Wilmington, in their report
quoted as follows from an editorial in the
March bulletin of the State Board of
Health: among these many friends
(members of the legislature who had
shown themselves friendly to our medical
and health laws feel that it would not be
making any invidious comparison to par
ticularly mention our county superintend-
ent of Tyrrell DIR. Alb. Alexander, who
was the representative from that county
and who, as chairman of the committee
on Public Health OF the House, proved in
deed faithful sentinel on the watch
tower"
Commenting on this, the committee
says:
And without intending
any disparagement whatever to other ply
sicians, we most heartily endorse the pub
lie acknowledgment made in the bulletin
quoted above, OF the valuable services
rendered by DIR. Alb. Alexander, of Tyr
rell county, whose ability, tact and good
sense, as chairman of the House Com
mittee ON Public Health, deserve emphat-
ic recognition and applause"
The above shows anthoritatively the es-
timation in which DR.. Alexander is held
by the North Carolina Medical Society,
the only organization representing the
medical profession Of the State. Person
ally / endorse every word that has been
quoted, and take pleasure in correcting

Mnintentionally, Of course) and which, if
unnoticed. might do very worthy man
and physician harm.

GUARANTEE COMPANY ASSIGNS

Louisville, Ky, March 13.-The Ken
lucky Guarantee Company, doing busi-
ness at 315 Fifth street, went into liqui-
dation this afternoon by filing a deed Of
assignment in the county clerks office.
The Louisville Trust Company was made
assignee. j. t. Gathright, president Of
the institution, i'm a statement, says that
the assets are in excess of the liabilities
and that the company will pay every cent
that it owes. Recent decision of the
courts affecting all Building and Loan
Associations, he says, caused the assign
ment.
Mr.. Gathright says the book value of
the assets is about $124,000 while the
actual value is about $4,000 The total
liabilities are. he says, about $4,000. The
company was organized in Chicago in
1892 under the name of the Railway En-
ployes Industrial Banking Union.

OF LATE COY. WORTH.

From the Hand of Randall, and Present
ed to the Executive Mansion by the
Surviving Children of the Distinguish
ed North Carolinian.
There has just been hung in the Execu-
tive Mansion a portrait by Randall tour
RandalD of the late Governor Jonathan
Worth
The presentation was made by the sur
viving children of the distinguished North
Garolinian.
One cannot dwell upon the work of the
artist without finding ones attention di-
vided between the rare quality of touch
and atmosphere on the one hand, and the
strong personality of the subject, on the
other hand.
1t may be sufficient to say that Ran
dall's work here is up to his portrait of
Vance in the State Normal School at
Greensboro.
When that portrait was unveiled, many
who knew Vance looked long and silently
at the face; there was not a sound from
the great audience, and the face of the

and shimmering like liquid opal in

at one side, and the debris so formed
Eeaped up into a low wall along the
waters edge; and here it was the girl

Neil had thought the day of the
storm that Miss Meredith must look
her best in her riding habit, but to-
day, in the simple cotton gown she wore,
she seemed to him even more daintiIy
lovely. "Ten times more charming than
her fathers Grabbed, and he's COM
posed of harshness," he quoted, under
his breath, lettering all he might in
the pace that must presently bring him
beside her. Curious as he was to know
how she would greet him, he yet would
gladly linger to enjoy the pretty pic
ture she made, all unconscious of any
observer.
But she seemed to feel his glance by
instinct, looking up with startled air
which changed to a flashing smile of
welcome as she recognized him, blush
and smile so surprising to Harvey Neil
that as he stopped short in the road
he had hardly presence of mind to lift
his hat. By no stretch of the magma
ton could he have counted upon such
greeting as this after her stern ar
raignment the other day.

CHAPTER VII.

A little way beyond the hotel at the
west, Windy Gulch appeared to come to
an abrupt end, it's one street dividing
into a couple of no less dusty though
somewhat narrower roads, of which the
one at the right climbed away over the
hills to meet the Old Silver trail and
other remote by-ways, while the other
turned down among the shadows of
the cottonwoods by the creek, keeping
to its wavering company for mile
or more before it was forced to higher
levels on its way to the mining camp
CT Tomtown. This little cottonwood
grove where the road started was the
one touch of sylvan beauty of which
Windy Gulch might boast. There was
a great, implanted wooden structure,
housing an abandoned process for treat
ing ores, just at the left of the turn
ing point, followed by two or three
cabins likewise deserted; but beyond
this the trees had been left to grow
old unmolested. A little way along
there was an old Spanish arastra fallen
to ruins across the creek, while the
yawning mouths of shallow tunnels
here and there told of somebody's fail
ures; but paying leads had never been
discovered in this quarter, and in these
days Windy Gulch for the most part
passed it by unheeding. Sometimes
lovers came to loiter along its shaded,

f.sg LAND oE DREAMS.

VIA you come with me to the Land of
Dreams,
20 that mystic land so far away;
W.ere the sunlight falls on the sparkling
streams
And ripping waves with the lilies play?
Where the skies are fair and the flowers
are bright,
Where the joyous song of bird is sweet;
Where the azure sky and the opal light
OF shining streams in the distance meet?
Are you tired and worn with lifes grief and
pain?
Has your heart grown cold with hopes
deferred?
Would you bid Love smile on your path
again
And list to the sweetest music heard?
Then come with me to the Land of Dreams,
To this Lotus land with it's gardens fair,
With it's waving trees and it's crystal
streams,
Where life has never thought of care.
Would you see the friends of the long ago?
Would you walk the shores of Fancy's
stream,
Where silvery waters in silence flow,
And years are only pleasant dream?
Then come with me to this border land,
This country far thro' the gates of gold.
Where Love and Pleasure walk hand in
hand,
Where none grow weary and none grow
old.

and more rarely yet travellers passed
that way, going to or coming from Tom
town, but these latter generally chose
to go round by the newer and better
road that turned off down the canyon
a few miles below, so that Dorothy had
discovered that on weekdays she might
safely count on never meeting anybody
here
But it happened on this August after
noon that Harvey Neil had started for
Tomtown, hoping to consummate some
sort of bargain by which his slippery
colleague Brigham might be left to his
duty in the forthcoming trial. He had
turned aside at Windy Gulch to consult
the doctor about his horse, finding that
the animal had gone lame; and he was
chagrined to discover, when he had
gone a few miles, that in common hui
mainly he must turn back, the trouble
being so aggravated by the bad road,
which in many places was but a stretch
of bleaching powders washed bare by
spring time floods; whence it happened
that Dorothy's solitude on this occa-
sion came to be invaded by the one
person who most occupied her thoughts.
She had almost forgotten her indigna-
ton on her fathers account in the subtle
pleasure growing out of the idea that
McCready was the one person respon-
sible for all the trouble. This view of
the case exactly harmonized with her
preconceived opinion. She had instinct
lively disliked the superintendent of the
mine from the outset, and now she
could take to herself credit for her
penetration. Her father had been mis-
led, deceived, mainly that McCready
might profit by it, might find means to
crafty private malice against the
owner of the Mascot mine. She was
now impulsively persuaded that Har-
vey Neil had been really wronged, and
all because her father had been system
atically led to false conclusions by this
arch-plotter, who had no care for any
sacrifice of honor in attaining his own
evil ends. If but the proofs might be
| forthcoming to prove the wrong, to In
duce her father to withdraw and make
restitution while yet there was time
| to vindicate his real moral blameleSS-
ness!
Harvey Neil had dismounted to spare
| the horse, and for a mile or more had
been plodding along, leading the ami
NAL, when, just at turn in the road
as he came down into the little cotton
wood grove, he stopped short in sur
prise at sight of Miss Meredith seated
by the roadside.
The hills had here crowded down on
either side of the narrow creek, great
rock masses joining hands as though
it had been purposed to hold back the
hurrying water, which, but in madden
joy as it seemed, went leaping over

little smile, as she resumed her seat

Il was taken by surprise the other
day." she hurriedly rejoined, her eyes
upon the flowers in her hand, which she
had been rearranging. "And 1 knew so
little about the trouble between papa
and you; 1 always do know so little
of papa's business. Of this I had only
an idea that somebody was trying to
prove that he had stolen a vast sum of
money out of that somebody's mine:
claiming that he was in fact little better
than a common thief. Naturally, did
not feel very kindly disposed toward
that somebody"
'But now your views have modified ?"
he eagerly questioned.

avoiding his glance.

which he threw one by one into the
nearest waterfall. "And do you know,
Miss Meredith, much as / have always
regretted the trouble between the
mines, have never regretted it so much
as now-since meeting you again"
'Then, if that is so,' she impulsively
returned, only the deepening flush up
on her cheeks betraying consciousness
of the confession as it related to herself.
why will you not try to put an end to
it? Why will you not see my father
and explain the matter from your stand
point clear understanding and
settle it all up without any more
troublesome law business? am sure
it would be so much nicer"
