The first joint discussion took place here
to-day between Skinner and Small. in
which Small certainly got the better of
his opponent. SINNERS speech fell flat,
and even his friends admit that he was
no match for Small
To-day Smalls speech was often and
loudly applauded, while Skinner could
hardly get a slap Of hands.
The Democrats are solidly united ana

CHURCH DEDICATION.
The Finest Christian Church in the
State Dedicated.


Wilson, n. c., Sept. 26.-(Special)-
The neat and tasty and elegant Chris
tian church-the most beautiful church
in Wilson-was dedicated on Sunday
under the most brilliant and Inspiring
surroundings. The day was sbracing
and brilliant. and not one cloud impeded
the coruscating showers Of radiantly
dripping sunbeams, which entombed the
earth in God-built pyre of heavenly
FURNISHED radiance. Yes, streams of
light came rippling down in silverest
lustre, and made the earth glisten with
respondent beauty. Music-throated
birds were out in happiest concert and
their joyous carolings were In sweet ac-
cord with the happy throbbings in many
joyous bosom, for the hearts of our
people were pulsing with gladness
and thrilling with delight, for a beautiful
church was to be dedicated to the wor-
ship of Coda church that would
stand as an eloquent monument of their
generosity and their liberality algl their
unselfish devotion to the cause of the
sweet and blessed Jesus. The congrega-
tons of the Methodist and Baptist and
Presbyterian churches united in worship
with the Christian church that day, and
it was indeed a precious and inspiring
scene. The music was enchanting. THE
petitions heart-moving. and the sermon
most comforting. The grandly gifted
vocalist, Miss Dewey, of the Kinsey
Seminary, led the singing, which was
most excellent and most exquisite.
Miss Ina Kinsey presided at
the organ most gracefully and
gave some exquisite strains of purest mel
ody. The solo of Miss Dewey was as
sweet as the fragrance OF new-mown
hay, and seemed like the breathngs of
a lutte while dreaming of the harmonies
of Heaven. The Rev. Mr.. Abbott of
Baltimore, dedicated the church, and
his sermon at the morning services and
his dedicatory remarks at night were
very fine and most highly enjoyable. He
is charming speaker and his sentences
were smoth and resonant and beautiful
~ rounded. Among the ministers who
took part in the delightful exercises we
noticed the Rev. DIR. Harper, of Smith
field: the Rev. Mr.. Johnson. of Newbern;
the Rev. Mr.. Petree and DIR. Harper, of
Kinston. and the Rev. Mr.. Hurry and
Mr.. Reddish of Wilson. The congratu-
latory remarks Of Mr.. Riddick were very
appropriate and felicitous. and showed
that he had in his heart the full blossom
ed flower of Christianity in its richest
bloom aud beauty, and that the noble
utterance from his eloquent lips was but
the fragrance of its sweetly laden petals
The Rev. Mr.. MeEon, the justly beloved
pastor of that noble flock, who has Ia
bored so earnestly in erecting this beau
tiful building, deserves the gratitude of
that devout congregation whom he
serves so faithfully and so well.

NO HOPE FOR MANILA.
Insurgents and Americans Move
Slowly But Are Invincible.

Copyright, 1888. by Associated Press)
Manila, June 80, via Hong Kong, July
s.-There is no material change in the
aspect of affairs here. The Spaniards
are strongly posted about the outskirts
of the town, and also along the whole
length Of the conduit of the water
works, eight miles inland 1t is believ-
ed the Spaniards only hold the water
works on sufferance, because the insur-
gent piCketS hold sway everywhere and
could easily raid and wreck the conduit.
But. the insurgents are extremely anX-
ious to consulate the neutrals, and
therefore. refrain from causing horrible
privation.
The insurgents have never employed
cannon before Manila, but they are now
bringing up 60 CUTS, with the intention
of making a simultaneous rush upon
the Spanish entertainments at Santa
Mesa, Santa Ana, and Malate, thus
rendering the other positions of the
Spaniards untentable, and by single
coup drive the Spaniards inside the ci-
tadel with a minimum of destruction
to nOn-COmbatants and property. 1t is
expected that it will take a week to
bring the guns along, as they have to
make retOurs through a difficult part of
the country and it is not desirable to
hurry
The American troops are expected
here mOnentarily and then probably
there will be a quick finish of the war.
The insurgents in the large camps at
MalabOn, CalcoOan, Francisco, Mara
quina, San Pedro and Paranaque are in
excellent spirits and perfectly orderly
They are delighted with a successful
ruse, which they recently adopted to
draw the Spaniard's fire. This method
Is by firing crackers in the darkness. in
the weeds near the Spanish position.
The explosion of the crackers resem bles
the rattle of musketry and causes the
Spaniards to open fire and waste their
ammunition.
The insurgents aIIege that they had
only one rifle at the capture of Cal
cOoan and they say they similarly sur
rounded Guliguigufn at night and fired
crackers and a few rifles, while their
with machetes. The Spaniards, the in
surgents add, squandered their ammu-
milton and then boIted.
General Monet, the Spanish COM
mander at MacabObo, has escaped from
there in canoe, bringing with him the
family of Captain General August
from MacabObO, where the captain
fleet arrived, believing that the natives
OF that part of teh country were lOval
General Monet had a. terrible voyage.
He ran the gauntlet OF the insurgent
troops along the river banks and he
and his party were starving when they
arrived at Manila.
The Spanish general alleged that he

that he wants reinfOrcements.
A river steamer from Bulacan TODAY
ran the blockade, bringing 200 refugees
women and children.
The Spaniards are employing gangs
of natives, armed with axes and ma
chetes, to destroy the woods in the out
SKIRTS OF Manila, under Spanish over
seers with horse whips.

DOLE WILL RULE.
Government of Hawaii to Rest Large
~ With Him.

Washington, July 8.-Senators and
representatives who cOnversed with the
president today gained the impression
that for the present the government of
the Hawaiian islands would be left
largely in the hands Of President Dole
Under the joint resolution, annexing
the islands, the government, until 9TH
erwise provided by congress is invested
in such person or persons as the presi-
dent Of the United States may determ-
inc.
Besides President Dole some other
person in Hawaii and one or more citi-
zens of the United States may be Sc
lected to act with him. 1t is expected
that the names of the commissioners
provided for in the resolution to recon-
mend necessary legislation for Hawaii
win be sent to the senate before the ad-
journment of congress.
