Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
Our State Business Agent having
completed all the necessary arrange
ments for our fertilizers, there is now
no reason why the sales of Alliance
guano should not be much larger than
ever. There is scarcely a town in the
State to which these goods will not be
shipped. Heretofore u members in
many places could not get it, because
of the necessity of giving joint notes
q system that has caused much trouble
and dissatisfaction. But under the
present system we can buy of the mer-
chant in just such quantities as we
may want, without mourning any other
than our own debt. Now the only
question for us to settle is as to whether
we prefer our goods or not; there are
some who argue that they a buy
cheaper grades. This may be true.
Fertilizers, like other goods, are cheaper
or dearer in proportion to value. There
are no goods Oh the market that have
stood the test of the f9ld better, or
given more satisfactory results than
the North Carolina Official Alliance"

Mr.. PEFFRR's GOOD EXAMPLE.

The Western papers are commencing
Senator PETER for having such a high
appreciation of the dignity of his Office
that he has refused to leave his post
of duty in Washington for the purpose
of descending to the levelOt a petty
politician in making a personal scram-
BILE for votes to re elect him.
We join u esteemed Western con
temporaries in this tribute, which is
deserved. We cannot say that we ad-
mire either Senator PETER or his poll
tics, but he has, in this matter, set an
example which his brother senators
should emulate. With the average
United States senator the main question
seems to be to get back, and in the
face of such an important matter as
this, senatorial dignity is thrown to
the winds.
We r glad that Mr.. PETER is not
one of these. A PopuIists is not ex,
actly the man we would select to teach
the principles of government, but Sena
tor PETER seems to be eminently quail,
fed to give instructions on questions OF
%propriety. May his whiskers never
grow shorter, and a happy new year ia
him.-Richmond Times

THE CABINET CONFIRMED.

Mckinley and Mark Hanna Get Their
Appointments LOCALIZED.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 5.-The
President to day sent the following
nominations to the Senate:
Secretary of State-John Sherman,
of Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury-Lyman
J.. Gage, of Illinois.
Secretary of War-RusselI A. Alger,
of Michigan.
Attorney General Joseph McKen,
ma, of California.
Postmaster General-James A. Gary,
of Maryland.
Secretary of the Navy John D
Long, of Massachusetts,.
Secretary of the Interior-Cornelius
N. Bliss, of New York.
Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson, OF Iowa.
The Cabinet appointments were all
confirmed by the Senate to day and
practically without opposition. There
was for a time a threat of opposition
to Mr.. Gage as Secretary of the Treas
ury because of his views on the silver
question and because he is a banker,
but there was more of this among Sen
ators in the cloak room than in the
Senate.
The Senate went into executive ses
sion promptly upon the receipt Of the
nominations q few minutes before 1
o'clock and as soon as the announce
ment was made of the appointment of
Senator Sherman, whose name headed
the list, he was confirmed. 1t is the
practice to refer ell nominations to
committee, but was the desire Of Mr..
Sherman's friends to signaliz9 their re
gard for him by immediate action.
No opposition was made and the nomi-
nation went through without comment.
There was more form than reality IN
the reference of the other members to
the committee. Not one of the com
mittees held a formal meeting; they
being poIled on the floor of the Senate
in every instance. No objection was
made in committee to combinations.
The Senate was in ecess while the
polling was in progress and only a lit
tie more than half an hours time waE
spent in discussing the nominations
Most of this time was devoted to the
appointment of Mr.. Bliss as Secretary
Of the. Interior, which called for at
tention from Senators Teller and Stew
art, who stated that while they had N
intention to make any Efforts to ball
the President in his selection of hi
cabinet ministers, they still felt con
strained to point out the individuality
of selecting a man who vas not a law
yer for a position which requires tn
exercise Of so much legal ability al
does the place at the head Of the Int
rior Department.
Senators Hoar, Chandler and Lodg'
replied in support of the selection O.
MI. Bliss.

A COMMENTARIES CAUGHT.
The Police Of Syracuse Make an Import
ant Capture,

. On Monday the 18th, Harold Mar
Quisee, of Utica, n. Y, was arrested
In Syracuse, n. Y on q warrant sworn
out blythe DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
charging him with forgery. On the
18th of December Marquisee visited q
photo engraver in Syracuse, saying he
was the representative of the Dr.. VII
liams' Medicine Co., and arranged for
the making OF a full set Of plates for
the direction sheets, labels, etc, of the
famous DIR Williams Pink Pills for
for Pale People News of this reached
the home CHce, and no time was lostin
arranging for his arrest when he should
return for the plates. He returned on
the 10Th and was accordingly arrested
and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting
examination, which occurs on March
the I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber,
such as medical books, typeWriters,
rugs, etc., found in Marquisee's trunk
when arrested, the-police also found
counterfeit coin both in the trunk and
on his person; and In q search of his
apartments at Utica found q complete
outfit for cOunterfeiting consisting Of
crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead, biemutb,
duVAA4OAy a Su4d4A O4dCASu4Eu IOFk0s a
charcoal furnace, and several plaster
of Paris molds. The United States
marshals want him just as soon as the
Dr.. Williams Medicine Go. are through
with him, and, no doubt, he will be
sentenced for a long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for bis counterfeitiDg operations, he
showed his knowledge of the proprie-
tory medicine business; for these pills
are IN such great demand that they are
easily sold at eny drug store in United
States. His scheme was to work the
country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at a discount Of from 2 per cent.
to 5 per cent explaining the reduced
price by the feet that he had picked
them up in small lots and at a discount
from dealers who were o~verstocked.
By working fast and making long
jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in q short time.
The proprietors Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are most fortunate to have caught
the rogue, before he had fairly started,
and to have thus kept these spurious
goods out Of the market.

The Spring Valley Press says that a
change is needed in that town, and

A Committee Was Appointed to
Consider the Matter OF
New Grounds.

W aalers Had a Soft Snap With Capt Cotter's
TeaM-?olO Schedule For Remainder OF
the Season-News From Carson.

A meeting of the stockholders OF the
Pawtucket Baseball Association was held
last evening for the purpose of talking
over plans tor the season. Not much
business of special Importance was trans
acted, but things in relation to the ma
tional game i'm this city next season were
talked over at considerable length.
1t was reported that Manager Smith had
about determined on the makeup OF the
nine that will represent Pawtucket on the
diamond during the coming season. Con-
tracts have been sent to all the players
held under reserve and the team will start
out under more favorable conditions than
in past seasons. One thing that told
against the team last year on the start was
the weakness in the box. With Horner,
Wilder and Leach in condition the team
ought to forge to the front this year at the
very outset.
The matter of change in location of
grounds was talked over at some length.
a committee was appointed to look into
the desirability of the three new locations
mentioned and to report on the same at
the next meeting, which is to be held
next Friday evening. At this time officers
for the ensuing term will be chosen and
IL il is decided to have new grounds no
delay will result in getting preparations
unoer way.
Manager Smith has arranged number
of exhibition games to be played in Penn
sylvania and with clubs in the Atlantic
and Eastern League before the opening of
the championship season, and it is possible
that lhe Pawtuckets will play few exhi-
bition games with the Bostons. The team
will be ordered TO report the early part of
next month, probably at Lancaster, Pa.
Secretary j. G. Morse of the New Eng
land League has announced that the
schedule that will he presented at next
Wednesdays meeting of the committee
will be SO arranged as to give each city
every other Saturday at home.
II was also said that he would favor the

Athens, March cit has been decided
that there shall be general mobilization
of the Greek forces. and to this end
the two classes Of reserves that had not
been summoned previously have now
been called out.
The reserve forces alone give total
of 1O4, 500 men. and behind that is what
is called the territorial army, which
numbers upward of 100000 men. The
standing army numbers about $4,000

The insurgents have stopped all COM
munication with the town by land, and
unless the foreign warships actively in
tervene in behalf OF the Moslems, the
town will shortly be compelled TO sur
render.
The small detachment of sailors and
marines landed from the various war
ships still occupy the town, but without
the aid of the fleets they could make lit
tie defense against the overwhelming
numbers of the insurgents.
Feverish activity continues through
out the whole country. Large quanti-
ties of arms, ammunition, provisions
and military stores are being conveyed
by transports to Thessaly. The mass
ins of troops on the frontier is proceed
ing with the utmost speed, and public
feeling is at the highest pitch of excite
ment. Those taking the coolest view no
longer conceal their opinion that in the
event of coercion by Europe the centre
of interest will be transferred to the
Turkish frontier. where the most serious
events may be expected. Many foreign
correspondents have already started for
Thessaly.
The Greek fleet has been divided into
four squadrons The eastern squadron,
composed of the ironcads Psara and
Spetzai, the cruiser NanarchosmiauIis,
the armored corvette Basileusgeorgios
and the dispatch vessel Paralos under
the command of Commodore Apostolis,
will cruise in the Sporades islands. The
western squadron, composed of four ar
r0Hred and four unarmored gunboats
under the command OF Commodore Om-
bazio, will cruise in the Gulf of Arta
The southern squadron, comprising
the ironclad Hydra and the cruisers Ny

miral Sachtouris. will remain off Crete.
The Geoges torpedo fiotilIa, forming the
fourth squadron will cruise between

aggregation consisting of four profession
ais, and two amateurs. One of the amateurs
was good, the other not so warm. The
game began with Allen playing centre,
but the responsibility of the position was
to heavy for him, and he did not find out
where he was at until Fall River landed
three goals. Two from Connell, and one
from Russell
This set Doe thinking, and he called
hait and introduced a change i'm his team,

Alter this Fall River were able to score
but Two more goals. Dump Williams was
sent 10 centre, Clifford, an amateur. taking
his place at half back. Clifford evidently
had received instructions To cover Russell.
and he did this so closely that the rusher
