A HunterSViIle Merchants Mistake
Tramp Deposited the Money in the
Bank.
Capt. Thomas Rowland who runs
the mixed train between Charlotte
and Statesville came in with good
story Monday. While his train was at
standstiIl at Huntersyille yesterday
one of the merchants of that place
came in the coach with a bag Of
money. The merchant handed his
cash over to man whom he thought
he knew and asked him to deposit it
to his credit in one of the Charlotte
banks. 1t turns cut that the Hun
tersville merchaut was mistaken In
the man and his $75 was handed to a
tramp who bad become tined of "rid>
ing the ties" aud decided to take
berth in the smoker. The best
part of the story is that the mer-
chant who was so loose with his
cash was not mistaken in his man
after all. AS soon as the train
stopped at Charlotte the tramp made
bee line for the bank and there de-
posted every cent of the cash given
him by the Huntersville merchant.
These are truly days of strange
occurrences

REJOICING IN CHARLOTTE.
There has been general rejoicing
in Charlotte since the noon hour,
The news of the defeat of Walter R.
Henry's infamous police bill was
first learned by a telegram from
Mayor Weddington. Soon fter this
was received, the entire Charlotte
contingent who went to Raleigh last
night made the wires hot telegraph
ing the news to their friends in the
city.
Those who have felt most keenly
the injurious working of this bill,
should it have passed, were the ones
who first gave expression to their
delight.
Wholesome people may have thought
all the time that the Legislature
would not pass such an obnoxious
measure, still there were many pre-
pared to hear the worst.
"What will become of Henry? ask
ed prominent Charlotte lady of a
News reporter. The question was
one that the reporter could not an
sWer.
"Will he now get the judgeship?
asked prominent citizen"
"Never in the world" replied an
other.
1t is the seneral impression in
Charlotte this afternoon that Henry
is ship. without a sail and a politi-
clan without a Job.

BY Telegraph to The News
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Consul
General Lee has been relieved by the
administration of the EN- barrasment
that threatened to cloud the last
days of its existence with a warlike
storm.
The General is today assured that
for the five remaining days of the
Cleveland administration he will
have backing from Washington in
his efforts to protect American clti-
zens in their treaty rights.
Under these conditions Gen. Lee
has consented to remain in Havana
the few days to elapse before his sue.
cessor is named. The fact that he
has resigned is admitted.
Senator White spoke today in op-
position to the Sanguilly resolution,
which is being considered by the
Senate.
WAR CLOUD DIsPELLED.
New YORK, Feb. 26.-The COM
parative Indifference of yesterdays
stock market to the revival of SEN
sational rumors is more gratifying.
The harmlessness of the so called
Sanguilly resolution may readily be
perceived when it is stated that it is
a joint resolution, requiring the con-
currence of the House. Should it
ever reach the lower body of this
Congress. it will, according to the
statement of the best informed OBJ
servers at Washington, be smothered.
In any event the resolution would
meet the constitutional question
raised by Secrt tary Olney, at the
time the Cameron resolution recog-
nizing the independence Of Cuba
was brought before the Senate.
There is no shadow of doubt that
President Cleveland would like this
question to be settled under the Nc.
Kinley administration
Not the least important news yes
terday which did not become public
until late was Secretary Olney's Of
fetal denial of the sensational reports
recently circulated about the Con-
sul's position in Cuba.
