leopard's left hind quarter was fast in
the NAV of the ferocious saurian.
Twisting its 1.-the body and uttering
frightful cries the leopard struck at
his assailant again and again, striving
to claw the eyes, knowing these to be
the only vulnerable point of the enemy.
Slowly the hideous reptile dragged his
victim toward the waters of the lake.
The cries of the leopard were fright
full. 1t was like a combination of a
call for help and a death scream.
The contest went on for more
than an hour. At first the crocodile
would drag the leopard toward the
water, and then the leopard, with
frightful energy, would give a spring
that would force his enemy several
feet from the edge of the lake. Mean
while the crocodile was steadily
crunching the leg of the leopard which
he held in his jaw. At last, however,
the crocodile gave the leg a tremend-
Gus bite, and severed it entirely from
the leopard's body. Screaming with
agony and terror, the MANNED victim
of the crocodile's ferocity managed to
drag himself into the adjoining under
growth, while the crocodile, apparently
not a whit the worse for the encounter,
slowly crawled to Tanganyika's borders
and disappeared in its waters.
Only two white men have ever
reached the shore of this lake of death.
DR.. Cross forced a path through the
swamps and reeds, that reek with
fever and kindred ills, near the south
ern end of the lake in 1889. Two
years ago Mutt, the explorer, managed
to gain the shore on the southwestern
side. That was all they did Both

THE NEW TARIFF BILL
THERE MAY BE TWO MINOR
ITY REPORTS.
Discussions Among the Democratic
Members of Ways and Means COM
mittee-To Vote on Bill March
Ex-senator Buffers Bill.


Ex-senator Buffers Bill.
By Telegraph to The Sentinel.
w AsHINGTON, March 19.-Dissen-
sions which have arisen among Dem
ocratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee may result in two
minority reports on the tariff bill.
The Senate has gone into executive
session to consider the arbitration
treaty.
The Senate adopted resolution
calling upon the Attorney General for
record OF the proceedings in the
| foreclosure OF the Union Pacific Rail-
| way.
Senator Butler introduced a bill
providing for postal telegraph sys-
TEN.
a special order fixing March 3Ist
for vote on the tariff bill was re-
ported to the House. 1t will pass af-
ter the house debate.
Secretary Sherman announced in
the Cabinet today that three more
Americans had been released by the
Spanish authorities in Cuba.
Speaker Reed has definitely decided
that for the present, at least, he will
not appoint any Of the regular COM
mItteeS or the house beyond the three
| aireaoy announced. In this way all
miscellaneous legislation will be
blocked and the entire attention of
the house forced on the tariff bill.
The bills which are being introduced
by the hundreds will have to wait un-
TIL The committees To which they
would go under the natural order Of
things are appointed. 1t is not even
likely that the appropriation commit
tee will be appointed. As soon as the
tariff bill has been sent to the Senate,
the three appropriation bills, as they
were sent to the president and the
deficiency bill, as far as it was agreed
to 10 conference, will be put through
under special orders which the rules
committee will bring in for that pur-
pose. BY avoiding complications which
might arise if the legislative mill
should be thrown open to an indis-
criminate grind, the house leaders be-
lleve they can materially expedite
final action in the upper branch of
Congress on the tariff.

Both Claiming the Plum-Henderson
Working for Price.
The Richmond Dispatch Saturday
had he,following in its Washington
letter about North Carolina office
seekers
Sheriff Call, of Wilkes, and ex-Con
gresham Brewer, of North Carolina,
are in the race with Bailey and Mill
ken for the marshalshIp. Call says
he is in the fight to win. "If Bailey
is not appointed tomorrow, Call will
be-" he said, emphatically, tonight.
Brewer is also hopeful over his
chances. The matter still hangs fire,
and the field is open to other aspir-
ants. The eastern candidates for the
judgeship of the Eastern District of
North Carolina had an informal con-
ference today. The preponderance Of
sentiment seemed to favor Purnell's
appointment. The contest now ap.
pears to be between the two P's-
Price and Purnell.
EX-Congressman John S. Hender-
son, of Salisbury, is here, in Prices
interest, and in this connection an in
teresting story is in circulation. In
the event of Prices appointments,
Henderson, it is said, will succeed
him as general counsel of the South
ern railway, and part of the same
slate is the appointment of G. S..
Bradshaw as Third Assistant Post
master -General-the position now
filled by Colonel Kerr Craige, of North
Carolina. The slate is not warranted
not to smash.

FIRST ENGLISH CONGREGATION,
The Moravian Hope eChurch-Division
of Stokes and Forsyth.

of Stokes and Forsyth
Miss Adelaide Fries, in her series Of
letters in the Moravian, says the first
English congregation in Wachovia
was Hope, in the Western part of the
| county. The church was consecrated
March 2Sth, 1850. Rev. j. F. McCuis-
ton is the present pastor OF the con-
gregatien.
In January, 1849, the Legislature OF
North Carolina divided the county Of
Stokes into two parts, Stokes and
Forsyth, and appointed five Commits
sioners for The latter county. The
duty OF these Commissioners was to
select and purchase the site for the
court house and other public build
lBgS. This created a great deal Of
discussion, for, as Salem lay almost
IN the centre of the new county, it
seemed necessary to choose land in
that neighborhood for the county
The Commissioners applied to the
AufSeher COllegium OF the Salem Con-
gregatlOn, for some 81 acres of land,
North OF the town, but they refused
to decide so weighty a question, and
referred the matter TO The Gemein-
rath, or Congregation Council. Then
the debate WdXed warm. A new town
come in, their views would conflict
With those of the Brethren Moravian
rules and ways would be disturbed,
perhaps destroyed-so said the con-
servatlve element, and wished to keep
the court house as far away as possi-
ole; while the progressive party
thought the new settlers would give
new life to the community, and that,
if the new town was brought near Sa-
lem, the disturbing features would
adjust themselves.
the Congregation Council, held
February 3, l849, agreed to sell 81 acres
to the Commissioners, the Southern
line to come no nearer Salem than the
Northern side of the lot held under
lease by Mr.. Thos. j Wilson (now
Hanes' House). In March, the further
conditions were made that the court
house should be in the center OF the
tract, and the new streets should be
| combinations OF those in Salem; and
| The price was fixed at So an acre, the
same amount that the administrator
was getting for land sold in the vicin-
lty. On the 18th OF May, 1849, Charles
+ kludge, proprietor and administra-
tor, gave deed for 514 acres of Salem
| land to the Commissioners of Forsyt b

REV. ROBINSON SLANDERED.
Credited With Statement Which
He Quoted From Oothers.

The Elkin Times is charged with
slandering Rev. Q. w. Robinson, for
mer pastor of the Second Presbyte-
rian church, of Winston, but later of
Wilkesboro. Several days ago he
rendered his resignation as pastor Of
the latter church.
The North Wilkesboro Hustler
goes to the rescue OF Mr.. Robinson.
1t says: I'm it's issue Of February
Robinson great injustice by publish
ing what it claims he said about Wa
tauga and Ashe counties, in reference
to illiteracy, ignorance, ETC., in those
counties.
Zone Capt. Todd, acting on what
he saw in the Times, came out in
card and denounced Mr.. Robinson in
a most bitter manner. The Watauga
Democrat, in its last issue, followed
Todd's example.
"The Times gives the statement as
being Mr.. Robinson's production,
when in reality the statement was
given him by two gentlemen who had
gone over the territory mentioned by
Mr.. Robinson.
The editor of the Hustler says he
heard Mr.. Robinson make che same
pit in North Wilkesboro during the
month Of January, giving as his au-
thority d Methodist minister and
Baptist deacon, who said there was
"scope extending from Blowing
Rock along the Blue Ridge, ranging
from to miles wide, to the Allie
ghany line" in which this ignorance is
now in existence, and he requested
the people to contribute funds in or
der to get the word OF God in their
homes.
Continuing, the editor says: We
have known Mr.. Robinson personally
for many years, and have found him
to be an upright, hightoned, Christian
gentleman in the fullest sense Of the
| word; man who possesses the love
and esteem of this entire community,
who are panied beyond expression
that such slanderous reports have be-
come current. IL is to be hoped that
the Times will make the necessary
amends, and remove false impressions
| under which the good people Of Ashe
| and Watauga are now laboring, in re-
| gard to this Christian gentleman"

FITZSlMMONS MAY FIGHT AGAIN
What He Says About 1.-THE Fallen
Idol.

Idol.
CARSON CITY, New, March 19-In
an interview regarding his future
movements, Fitzsimmons said: 81
have not decided just what I will do,
but one thing is certain, and that is
that l will not fight any more for at
least two years. 1t has been at least
three years since Corbett fought any
body for the championship, and / am
not going into any finish contest for
two years myself. During that time
L may decide to fight again, and /
may not. 1t all depends upon how l
feel. l am getting along in years, and
two more on my present age will bring
me not far from 40 years, and that is
rather mature age for any man to
engage in finish contest. Il shall pay no
attention to the challenges made by
Goddard, Mitchell or Sharkey. They
are all bluff challenges and not worth
my consideration"
Fitzsimmons will leave Carson for
San Francisco tonight and will
give an exhibition in that city. He
was originally billed to exhibit there
tonight, but the date has been chang
ed to Saturday.
THE FALLEN IDOL.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-James
j. COrbett remained in his rooms at
the ST. Nicholas hotel yesterday and
spent most Of the day lying down. He
rose early and had hearty breakfast
served In his rooms, incidentally de-
vouring every word printed about the
fight in the morning papers. Then
he lay down and did not rise until a
dentist came to repair the tooth shat
tered by EitZsimmons Wednesday. j i'm
shows little outward evidence Of his
encounter, but he is weak from the
effects of the terrific heart blow and
says he has intermittent shooting
pains in his left side. His physician,
however, says he will suffer no perma-
nent injury, although the shock to
both nervous and mental systems has
been severe. COrbett was first an
noyed, then amused, at the report
brought over the wires that he was
dead. He said he was the liveliest
corpse ever seen and reiterated his
ability and willingness to fight FitZ-
simmons or any one else yesterday af-
ternoon, today or any day next
week. 81 don't want to say anything
more about the fight" he said to an
Associated Press reporter. Hold on,
though, just say this, will you-that
| was beaten fairly and honestly, and
that l have no kick coming, no com
plants to make. And don't repre-.
rent me as sick or dying, or even ill,
for l am not, only chagrined at my
careleSsnesS in the fight"

Couchee-Couchee Dog.

A dispatch from Denton, Texas,
says: sc. 81. Donahower has dog
whose tastes, musically, at any rate,
are rather peculiarly inclined. No
classical music of any kind seems to
have any effect whatever on the ami
NAL, his ears being deaf to the choicest
strains Of Wagner Strauss, or any of
the greatmasters- Even the modern
Sousa's rhythimical marches in his
case fall upon inattentive ears, but
when the soul-inspiring Streets of
Carlo otherwise known as the
Couchee- Couchee, is played all is diff
ferent. The dog is all attention in a
moment, he howls and .barks and
whines and growls and shows the
greatest delight until the tune is
changed, and then he again falls into
blissfni repose, ignorant, seemingly,
that there is still music in the air"

1.-THE Bachelor Maids" gave one of
1their most enjoyable entertainments
Caldwell, on Cherry street.
1t was gathering of the most dis
tinguished people of the world-Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley, Mr.. and Mrs
Cleveland, Mr.. and Mrs. W. j. Bryan,
Mr.. and Mrs Fitzsimmons, the
Prince aud Princess Of Wales, Duke
and Duchess OF Marlborough, Jim
Corbett. Mr.. and Mrs. Lii Hung Chang,
Mark Hanna, Sam Jones, the Bradley
Martins and others were there.
These worthless all proved them
selves TO be men and women of marked
literary talent. Each wrote a verse,
the last word in each line having been
given them. While all the poems
pare with those Of Jim Corbett and
Mrs. Cleveland, represented 10y Mr..
Sterling Smith and Miss Daisy
Vaughn, who not only won eternal
fame but handsome prizes as well.
John Kendrick Bangs, in his House
Boat on the Styx, never succeeded In
creating more ludicrous situations
than were repeatedly found last night.
The Prince of Wales was seen in
earnest consultation with Mrs. Robt.
FitZsjmmons. Mrs. Bryan was ex-
tremely cordial to Sam p. Jones
Grover Cleveland and Mr.. Bryan
seemed happy in each others com
pany; but the climax was reached
when Mrs. Lii Hung Chang sat down
at the table with the late James Cor
bett, who claims that he received an
other knock out blow on the heart,
which, when compared with FitZ's
blow was as cyclone compared to a
gentle MONDAY zephyr.
The lack of homogeneousness and
cOngeniality seemed only to add to the
enjoyment of the elegant refresh
ments. After the refreshments the
prizes were awarded to Mr.. Sterling
Smith and Miss Daisy Vaughn.
The following ladies and gentlemen
were in attendance:

WASHINGTON, March lS.-President
Mckinley proposes to issue new pro-
clamation OF neutrality with respect
to Cuba which will be more stringent
than either OF those issued by Presl-
dent CleYeland This was agreed upon
at a conference between President
Mckinley and Messrs. Sherman, Gage,
Long and Mckenna.
Secretary Sherman presented the
request of the Spanish Government
that in view OF its present policy of
promptly complying with all reason
able requests from our Government,
and in view OF the decisions OF our
Courts on the different dlibustering
cases, the new Administration should
issue stricter proclamation of neu-
trality and endedvor more Zealously
to enforce it.
