SENATOR PRITCHARD AND 9TH
ERS WORKING FOR HIM.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Obtained by Mr. Harris During Three Days
Visit to the National Capital.

Mr. j. C. Logan Harris returned from
Washington Sunday morning loadet
with news. Mr. Harris is not the man
to stay in Washington three days and
learn nothing. He is not built that way
He went to Washington after informa-
tion and he bagged long string of it.
He found that one thing Mt least was
n sort of n closed book and that was
that under the second call for yolun-
teers North Carolina would not get Il
third white regiment, but that the tele-
grams sent to Governor Russell about
recruiting the First and Second regi-
ments were based upon the full and
irreyocable determination Of the War
Department. and that there was no use
''monkeying'' with the department on
any other basis. He ascertained. too.
somewhat to his surprise. that the or

succeeded in having revoked. and SO the
colored battalion will be camped for
awhile yet ON the glittering sands down
by the sea.
This colored battalion, Mr.. Harris also
ascertained. would be organized into Il
regiment of ten companies of 106 men
each. which decision on the part of tho
War Department opens the way for sew

modified at Fort Macon.
This colored regiment and the proposed
recruiting Of the two white regiments
will fill up North Cardinals quota under
both the first and second calls. and this
arrangement leaves out many patriots
who were hoping for opportunities in the
organization of third white regiment
10 show their yalor and loyalty by
scrambling for commissions. But, as is
his wont. the visiting Tar Heel states
man is not content to let all these aspir-
ants for army hanors fall with dull
thuds. so he brings back the cheering
news that President Mckinley will. with
in few days. certainly before the LIST
of July, Issue third call for not less than
10000 volunteers. This will give North
Carolina two other white regiments. and
there are companies enough already ten
dered. says General Cowles to make mp
these and as many more regiments.
And then there is one other piece of inl-
portant news that COL. Harris brings
from the National capital.
North Carolina is to have a brigadier
if not major general. and that briga-
der is to he Judge Spier Whitaker. Of
Raleigh. Senator Pritchard is bending
his energies in Judge Whitaker's behalf.
his endorsements are said TO be Of high
character and 'the strong probability :
so says Mr.. Harris, lis that the APP
pointment win be made at an early
day."
It is known that on Sunday Judge
Whitaker was rendered the lieutenant
colonelcy Of the regiment of Immunes
now being raised in North Carolina and
Virginia but the tender was respectfully
declined.

TOUCHED ON A CORAL REEF.
Slight aIishap to the TeNus in SOut Ii

New York, March 2S.-Of all the sur
misses made as to the reason for the
sudden trip to this port of the battleship
Texas none was correct. She struck
coral reef while on her station in South

not the sole reason for her being order

much TO do with the transfer.
The extent of the injury suffered will
probably be known today, when divers
will make an examination of her hull.
1t is probable that the arrival of the
battleship in this condition caused the
issuance of an order to admit no visitors
to the navy yard yesterday, except on
written pass from the captain of the
