REFUGEES AT DAWSON.
Records Are Wiped Ont by the New
Country


Butte Mon. March lG.-William II. Jackson.
an old-time Montana gambler. known as seven
up Bill" writes from Dawson City to his friend,
John McMurray, Of this city:
''In the good old days in Montana VIC used TO
say that no records cast Of the Red River went in

records the other side Of the Dyea Pass go here.
Il never was in a community where many
men are wanted by shcrifs and prosecuting at

TO do is TO stand around the gambling houses
and saloons TO satisfy yourself that there are
enough indictments out for in the klon-
dixie to paper the City Hall at Butte

big, bewhiskered fellow leaned over the table

ment is easily understood to be two
fold. Firstly. 1t is intended 10 pre-
pare for the pressure on Spain; and,
secondly. it is designed TO precipitate
diplomatic Intervention by several gov
ernments which shall tend to make Con-
gress afraid to proceed to extremities,
when the truth of the Havana massa-
ere finally rs laid before it. Among the
American eonspirators il is felt that the
Maine report cannot be much longer
deferred. without giving rise to a tidal
wave Of Indignation that would sweep
everything before IT. on the other
hand If the European co-conspirators
can secure action against us quickly
enough, there is thought 10 be a chance
TO blum Congress into submission to the
Administration program. How shock
ingly disgraceful are these attempts to
trade the interests and honor of a
great nation for the plunder of bond
deal, the unfriendly attitude of the Off
cial Russian press is evidence. The
Gar. apparently. has attached some
weight TO the Administration and British
pretense that an alliance against him,
between this country and Great Britain,
was being seriously considered. There
never was a possibility of such a thing.
Ii was the merest pretense, constructed
to bolster British policy, in return for
some unnamed benefit to the American
Administration. Michael Davitt in
signed letter to the New York World,
exposes the hypocrisy of the British at
titude in this matter. In the first place.
he says, that England zealously breads
any conflict which might exhibit the
republic as a strong rival naval power,
and which would call forth At this junct
ure the great potential military strength
of the United States.' He adds that.
secondly. ''she wishes, by means Of
cheap and insincere expression
of sympathy with the United States
in a quarrel with Spain, TO obtain
in return the invaluable prestige Of
Americas sympathy in a possible strug
puts the case clearly and convincingly.
However the Mckinley Administration
may yearn with affection for Great
Britain and be willing to offend Rus
sia. it knows, and the world ought to
know. that the American people are not
friendly 10 the former. and never can
be made to be; while they always have
been distinctly friendly to the latter.

THE WISHES OF THE POPE.
Credited with Desire to Save the
Spanish DYNASTY

London. March 16.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette published yesterday a dispatch from
Rome which said that there had been a
recent exchange of communications be-
tween the Vatican and Spain in regard to
Cuba and the relations with America. The
Pope, it is added, is ready to do every
thing in his power to prevent hostilities,
(which might be fatal TO the Spanish dy-
nasty
Continuing, the dispatch reads:
The Vatican has specially exerted in
fluence at Washington and has tried di-
rectly and indirectly to dissuade America
from plunging into war with Spain. Ac-
cording to information here, if the offices
of the Pontiff are accepted, he will pro-
pose that Cuba remain under the domin-
ion of Spain. but that it be ruled on the
lines of an English colony"
The evening times., 1898-03-16

Unfortunately, there is much collat-
eral evidence that the game of delay is
being played TO give the European end
of the bond deal an opportunity to in
fiuence certain governments TO make a
demonstration of unfriendliness to this
country, and thus to create war scare,
under cover OF which the designs of the
conspirators can be better carried out.
ii is stated that on Saturday, cable
grams were sent to the leading financial
houses Of Europe, urging them to ener-
getic action. The object Of this move
The evening times., 1898-03-16

Very grave reasons exist for a suspi-
cion that there are additional humilia-
tions in store for America. as the price
it must pay to put $500. .0o0 600 safely in
the pockets Of the bond robbers, If the
Administration scheme TO bully Con-
gress into an early adjournment should
succeed. there will be an end Of Hawaiian
annexation. What has become of Mr.. Nc
kinleys determination to add the ISL
ands TO our possessions? Can it be that
he has surrendered it 10 the combined
British political and American sugar
trust influences? He must realize that
as surely as Congress goes home with
out providing for the acquisition Of Ha-
waii just so surely will il fall into the
hands of Great Britain. directly or un-
der cover Of Japan. is this the price of
British sympathy" and the active as
sistance of the Rothschilds in putting
the screws on Spain and soliciting the
diplomatic intervention Of Europe in our
affairs? Perhaps not; but the Presidents
abandonment of what lately was his
chief ambition and the only patriotic or
creditable point in his foreign policy,
does not look well in the light Of envi-
roning circumstances. Probably the next
thing We shall hear, as an illustration
Of the alleged impending rapprochement
between the two great English-speaking
countries" viii be a revival Of the old
and worm-eaten British scheme Of joint
control over the Nicaragua Canal. That
would suit the book of the international
bond sharks exactly! They could build
the ditch with half their profits on the
Spanish-Cuban bond steal. and. with the
joint protection Of Great Britain and
America. proceed to levy tribute upon
the worlds commerce for all time to
come. These also, are considerations to
be taken into account by senators and
representatives. before they consent to
be sent away like a lot of whipped and
blubberinE schoolboys.

THE RAILROAD CASE
Will Come up in United States
Supreme Court.
ON JANUARY THE 18TH
ON A MOTION TO GUST THE NEW
COMMISSIONERS.
BY CHARGING THEM WITH CONTEMPT
Attorneys For the Wilson's Wish to Keep This
Programme Secret--It is Not Known
When the Case viii be Argu-
ed on its Merits.

While it is not yet known when the
Railroad Commission case will be
argued in the United States Supreme
court, it is now the programme of the
attorneys for the Wilson's to bring it up
ON some important motions the 18th of
this month.
The first motion that viii be made by
the plaintiffs before the Supreme court
will be to ask that the new commits
sioners be ousted on the ground that the
writ of supersedeas was granted before
the execution of the order of the Su-
preme court of North Carolina, and that
the action of the new Commissioners
in taking charge after the filing of the
supersedeas is contempt of the Uni
ted States Supreme court and ought not
be allowed to stand. 1t is the purpose
of the Wilson attorneys to make and
argue this motion and have it passed up
on by the United States Supreme court
before the writ of error is argued before
the court.
This is the programme, but the attor-
neys are trying to keep it secret until
the time to spring it as a surprise in
the court.

A PARALYzED CONVICT.
lie Was Shot in a Battle With q
Sheriff's Posse.

Deputy Sheriff King arrived yesterday
with TWO prisoners for the penitentiary
from cumberland county. The conyicts
were both negroes. Their names are
Gilmore and Wright.
1ney were sent up for burglary. Both
OF Them are desperate negroes from
South Carolina. Gilmore had escaped
from the penitentiary there after having
served one year of a seventeen year
sentence.
Ihey broke into a house near Fayette-
vile, stole a trunk, which they carried
INTO the woods, broke open and secured
1925.
They then fed and were outlawed in
Cumberland county. When the posse
captured them a fight ensued and both
men were wounded, Gilmore slightly,
while Wright was shot in the back
with buck shot.
Wrights life has hung by a thread
ever since. He is paralyzed and can
move only his head When the trial
came off he turned states evidence and
gave his testimony lying face down
upon table in the court room. Gil
more plead guilty to burglary in the sec
Ond degree, while Wrights attorneys en-
tered a plea of guilt of grand larceny.
Judge Sutton then sentenced Gilmore
to the State prison for ten years.
Wright was sent to the penitentiary
for one year, and Judge Sutton, in pass
ing sentence, stated that he had had u
conference with DIR. j. V. McGougan,
and that the sentence met the demands
of both justice and mercy, as the
prisoner would have better chance for
his life from the surgical treatment to
which he would be accessible.

HIS BOOKS IN A TANGLE
HAVE NOT BEEN BALANCED FOR
-FOUR MONTHS.
AND NOW THEY WON'T BALANCE
But It's Only Little Matter of Some $4,000
The Finance Committee Gives Him
Month to Get Them
Straight.

And still instances of Populist incom
potency come to light.
When the News and Observer said
that Il. G. Butler, of Vance county, was
incompetent to fill the positions of bur
sar and assistant professor of English
at the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege, the Fusionists declared that he
was one of the best and most accom-
plished men in North Carolina.
Experience usually proves who's right
in such matters. In this, as in many
similar instances, it has shown that
the News and Observer was correct in
its estimate of Mr.. Butler and that his
fusion defenders were wrong.
For two days the Finance Committee
of the Board of Trustees of the Agricul.
tural and Mechanical college, has been
here examining the books of that in
stitution. This committee is composed
of one Democrat and two Republicans
as follows: J. w. Harden, Republican,
of Raleigh; DR.. B. r. Dixon, demo.
craft, of Shelby, and Col. l.. G.. Edwards
(Republican), of Oxford.
They met Tuesday afternoon and went
over the books Of Professor w. A. With
ers, director of the Experiment Station
These they found in good order and cor
rect.
But yesterday when they came to the
books of Butler, the hursar of the cob
lege, they found a very different state
OF affairs. His books are in tangle-
an awfal tangle-and the committed
could tell absolutely nothing about the
finances of the institution.
Butler has not balanced his books for
four months, and now he can't balance
them. There's SOME FIVE or six thou
sand dollars short, apparently. The
committee does not believe he has made
way with it. They have no means OF
knowing, Of course, but after looking
at the condition of the books they were
charitable enough to give him the bene-
fit of the doubt and attribute the discre-
rancy to bad bookkeeping
OF coursel with such bookkeeping
the committee could go no further, so
they gave Mr.. Butler a month, with
the voluntary assistance of Professor
Hill, the former bursar, and Mr.. Har-
den, the chairman of the committee, to
straighten his accounts up, bring some
order out of the chaos and show where
that $1,000 went to.
This is the price the State is paying
for Fusion incompetence.
