THE HOPE OF THE BONDSMEN.
They Care Only for the Cuban Effect on
Their Securities.

Washington. u. c.. May 22.-To set
at rest the common expectation that Il
more or less sensational report upon the
situation in Cubt is looked for any day
Y the President, it may he stated that
1t is not part of the understanding un-
der which Mr.. Calhoun went to Havana
that he is to make Il report by mail. or.
indeed. ut all. until he returns to Wash
ington. and then his observations may
he communicated to the President YER
bally and not in any official form, for it is
II fact that Mr.. Calhoun's only official
duty is an investigation of the Ruiz case.
Speaker Reed was at the State depart
ment today and conferred for some time
with Secretary Sherman. An interview
between the President and Senator
Burrows, who has taken a strong position
in resistance to the resolution at this
time. gives evidence that the Cuban stu
alton is still occupying Il large share of
the attention Of the administration.
The stormy events ut Madrid yester
day have no tescaped observation and
there lis some apprt hension Of reflex ac
ton in Cuba.

Laurinburg. y. c.. May 22.-tSpecial)
as reported in yesterdays News and OBJ
server is still somewhat shrOuded in
mystery. The two negroes, who We're
arrested on suspicion of having a crimi-
nal knowledge of the shooting, together
with the white man, were seen in town
during the forenoon. At dinner time, ac-
cording to tramp custome, they began
securing the town in search of something
TO eat; soon afterwards they were seen
going in the direction of the depot, and
about / o'clock one of the negroes came
up street with the report that the white
man had shot himself. A crowd soon
collected where the man was found lying
in IL pool of blood in an unconscious con-
dition with bullet hole just over the left
eye and 32-calibre pistol lying by his
side. The two negroes were at once ar
rested and confined in separate apart
mcnts and as their stories are somewhat
connecting. III Is SeHeTdlI. DcllcNtu thdt
foul play was connected with the tragedy.
SO one was sent to Rockingham. the other
to Lumberton Jail to await the prelimi-
nary trial set for May 2Sth.
The wounded man has been uncOn-
scious the greatest part of the time. DC
casionally he has partially rational inter-
walls, but even then his remarks are dis.
connected. During one Of these intervals
he. said his name was James Livctt and
his home was at Aberdeen. A telegram
of inquiry was promptly forwarded but
an. answer was received stating that the
man was unknown in that community.
Het had nothing about mis- person with
which to identify him. The only thing
found on his person was letter written
in. French. As to who he is, or where
he came from it has been impossible to
ascertain. He is being cared for by the
town, but at this time he is gradually
sinking and recovery is extremely doubt
full. ~

mulgated the Methodist faith. was burn
ed almost to the ground shortly after
midnight tonight The fire was dis
covered shortly after II o'clock and it

APPEALING TO MONOPOLY.
Spain SELLING Her Birthright to Grasp
Ing Monopolists.

Madrid, May 22.-Senor J. Navarro
Reverter. Minister of Finance, in the
budget statement to the Cortes estimates
the revenue at $17O,473.SO2, and the ex-
penditures at $16S. .656, ia. In order to
provide q revenue to meet the extaOrdi-
nary budget the Minister of Finance pro-
poses to raise Il loan with the Almaden
mine as security and to obtain
navigation dues to the amount Of $12,-
900, 600. In order to meet the increased
and the $92, 900, 900 required
to smeet- the tdntesest' and for the redemp-
lion Of the late loans guaranteed by the
customs, a, temporary surtay of 1O per
cent on all taxes except land has been
proposed. BY this means it is expected
$2O, ,O0O, 900 will be obtained. The colonial
department will contribute $32,OOO,OOO
and the balance of $4O,OOO,OOO will be
raised by loan on the proposed petrO-
leum monopoly, giving the exclusive
privilege Of dealing in this product during
the next twenty years. Should the colo
NAL department be unable to- pay its
share of the increased expenditures, it is
calculated that a portion of another loan
can be obtained by proposed monopoly
on explosives.

WARM WORDS
Between Presbyterian Brethren in the
General Assembly. ~

Between Presbyterian Brethren in the
General Assembly. J
Ea gle Lake. Ind. May % 2222.-"'Ehere is
no truth in that statment." These were
the words that greeted an assertion made
on the floor of the Presbyterian General
Assembly this afternoon. They We're ut
tered by DR.. Wilson Phraner member
of the Board Of Home Missions in New
York and were directed against the alle-
CATION of Rev. j. +. Knowles. of Mount
Carna Ills. who jocosely styled himself
"Elsha's successor" The statement thus
denied was TO the effect that one of the
Secretarys of the Home Mission Board
in New York was receiving two salaries
one from the board and one from a
friend. also that the mission board occu-
pied quarters costing $4,000 annually.
The denial was explicit, alleging that the
statements never were true and are not
now true. Over the offer of the original
speaker to give his authority there came
the first serious parliamentary tangle Of
the session. The moderator ruled the
offer to give authority for the statement
out of order. Appeals from this decision
were take1f and sustained. The authority
was then stated TO bea member of the
committee from the synod of Illinois and
Indiana, who went to New York to con-
fer with the Board Of Home Missions
upon the work of the board, but his name
was withheld. After adjournment con-
siderable Indignation was expressed by
various commissioners.

SHALL, WOMEN PREACH?
The Charlotte Assembly. Discusses til,
Knotty Question.

Charlotte. y. c.. May 22.-ln the as
.sembly this morning the committee on
bills and overtures made II partial re-
ort. They recommended that women be
forbidden the use of pulplts Tor publlc
ddresses TO mixed audiences and that it
be pronounced improper to give notices
of sucb meetings This precipitated Il
lively debate. Dr. Pitzer took the position
that while the Bible absolutely forbade
femols ordination. it did not forbid all
kinds of public testimony by women. Or,
Walden and Or. Smoot strongly advo-
Gated the adoption of the report.
At 3:3O u. IN. the discussion of the
morning. as to women was resumed. Dr.
Smoot made Il strong and witty address
in opposition. He regards women lectur-
ing from the pulpts as unscriptural and
degrading. He regardes it as a wedge to-
ward the church sloughing off, not Il
question of courtesy, refinement or cul-
ture. but a scriptural question. This
saith the Lord" 1t is a departure from
the Bible. Such women Christ does not
need in his work. DR.. Smoot was vlgor-
ous and intense. Drs. Walden, Malloy.
Shearer and others followed i'll the same
inc. DIR. Pitzer. of Washington, could see
no imprOpriety i'm female missionaries
testifying on their return from foreign
lands.
The discussion included a number of
lengthy speeches and occupied great
part of the day. DIR. Beatty, from whose
presbytery West Lexington. Ky..) the
question came up. offered a substitute.
That the assembly refer overtures to
