Senator Pritchard wired Gen. Il. f..
Hoke, asking HIM if he would accept
the hrigadier generalship Of volunteers
from North Carolina, and received the
ing reply: Il thank you, but can
not accept" This graceful AIT on the
part of Senator Pritchard must oe con
sidered apart from politics, and must
be put to his credit as Il high minded
and public spirited representative of
North Carolina.
1t should stand together with another
noble action, which | heard to-day, ne
had on hand. l heard that he would
tomorrow morning present to the presi
dem the name of young Da"id Worth
Ragley, the brother of Ensign Worth
Bagley, who was Killed on The WinSlow,
for appointment at large 10 naval
cadetship at Annapolis
| saw Senator Pritchard ut his home
this afternoon, and he confirmed the ru-
NOR saying that young Gridley, the son
Of Captain Charles Gridley, of the
Olympia, would, he heard, be appointed
and that he thought that the name Of
Baglcy should go along with Gridlcy
under the circumstances.
Senator Pritchard's motions, in each
of these cases will be warmly appreciated
in North Carolina for their chiyalrous-
ness and grace. and the people OF North
Carolina should at once hold up his
hands with united action of some kind.

ANGLO-SAXON ALLIANCE.
Hon. John Morley's Great Speech at
Leeds on the Question.

London, June S.-The Right Honorable
John Morley, Liberal, Nj. T., speaking
Mt Leeds this evening and referring to
thc recent birmingham speech of the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, the
1T. John Chamberlain on the subject
of an Anglo-Saxon alliance, said that
he did not believe word of all the
gloomy talk about England's isolation
and threatening prospects," unless she
secured an alliance with Germany or
America.
"England's naval power is gigantic,
her financial resources and credit are
irmer than ever" said Mr.. Morley,
.'and the spirit of the people to repel in
vasiOn or protect their rights is as great
as mt the beginning of the century. The
whole country desires more intimate re-
lations with the United States, an end
always diligently worked for by Lord
Salisbury and Mr.. Gladstone. 1t is in
conceivable, however. that Il treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States could be entered upon without
taking into consideration the Irish vote
in America. If the vote is against the
treaty it is not the fault of the Liberal
party. +.
Proceeding to discuss the kind of nj
lance intended. Mr.. Morley said:
"If it is an alliance for peace and har-
monious cooperation for the mutual
good, it will indeed be the dawn Of
brighter days. But is that what is in
tended? or is it to be an alliance between
the Jingoes of America and the Jingoes
of England, an alliance not for peace.
but for menace and war?
I'VE shall see but ] know tens Of
thousands of the best and wisest men in
America believe that hardly any more
inexpressible calamity can befall man
kind than that Il community. as Lincoln
nobly said: Conceived in freedom and
dedicated to the happiness of free and
equel men should entangle themselves
in the unrest and intrigue Of militarism
which are the torment and scourge of
the old world"

BARGE LOST orr OUR COAST.
Goes Down Laden With Water for Key
West.

Charleston, s. c.. June S.-A water
laden barge and her crew of FIVE in tow
of the steamer Leonidas were lost Sat
urday night between Norfolk and
Charleston. The Leonidas and her
charge were en- route from Norfolk to
Key West to supply the army and navy.
The news of the loss of the barge and
her crew was brought to port to-day by
the pilot boat r. III. Cowan. which was
hailed off the jetties by the Leonidas and
given dispatches to be sent North. The
pilot boat was given but little infOrma
ton of the disaster. From what could
be learned the vessel encountered Sc
we're storm last Saturday night off the
coast of North Carolina. and during the
gale the hawsers parted and the barge
went down.
The barge was of iron and was schoon-
er rugged. The steamer is en- route to
Key West with ammunition and supplies
for the United States war vessels and
army. The barge was also being sent
South to relieve the wafer famine. The
cargo of the LeOnidas required an inn
mediate delivery and her master found
il impossible to put into port to wire
@he particulars.

SPANS DREAM DIsPELLED.

London, June S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard, says:
1T is reported that during the engage
ment at Santiago two shells struck the
Vizcaya, and one the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Furor Admiral Cervera
praises the splendid behavior of the ma
rine brigade that served the guns of the
Castillo dc la Socapa battery, under a
terrible fire for several hours.
The papers are doing their utmost TO
dispel the unfayorable impression made
by the news from Santiago, and they
recommend the authorities to give more
details and not to keep silent on the
facts, which afterward would leak out
through foreign or private advices.
Nevertheless late last night and again
this morning the ministers and leading
officials were very reticent, although
they admitted having received fresh dis
patches from Havana and Santiago,
which General Correa and Captain Aun-
on had communicated to Senior Sagasta
before replies were cabled to Blanco
and Cervera.
Press dispatches say that the Reina
Mercedes suffered most from the shell
fire, which mortaly wounded her com
mander, Captain Acosta. The total
number of casualties on the ship was
thirty-nine. The captain, FIVE seamen
and twenty-one marines were killed, and
lieutenant and about seventeen men
were wounded. Most of the Hontoria
and krupp guns had before the action,
been placed in the Socapa battery.
admiral Cervera's squadron, with
steam up, was lying behind the first line
of defences in the channel leading from
the bay ready to cooperate, but the
land defences sufficed to keep the Ameri-
can fleet from attempting to force the
entrance.
THE loyalist volunteers, according
TO the press dispatches. took part in the
gallant defence of MORO Fort. losing
two officers and several men. They also
assisted the troops to oppose an Ameri-
can landing attempted at two places"

SWISS OWN THEIR RAILROADS

The decision of the people of Swift
erland to buy and operate on their own
account all the railroads of the country
is the result of a long process of DELHI
Grafton. The approval of the people,
through the referendum, was given to
a measure which was passed by the ma
tional council last fall, and which was
itself the result of a policy that has
been continuously carried forward for
seven or eight years.
AS a result of the popular vote the
roads win be managed by a department
Of the government in the same way
that the postal service and the tele-
graph is now managed. The strict
rules made in the past by the govern
ment to secure safety and efficiency
while the roads were managed by pri-
vate companies will be enforced, and
the aim of the government will be to
secure a system of roads which will be
a valuable element in the defensive in
situations of the country, as well as
more satisfactory for commercial pur-
poses.
The 5000, OOO 600, which it is estimated
will be necessary to purchase the roads,
win be secured by a national loan.
Definite arrangements have been made
as to the exact price at which the
ROADS are TO De purchased so that the
transaction will soon be consummated.
Two ways were open for the Swiss
government to acquire the control of
the roads. 1t could either buy up the
shares of stock on the open market, or
1t could exercise the privilege given by
the charters to the companies and ap-
prOpriate the railway property at
valuation. 1t was decided that the lat
ter plan was the best to apply in gen
eral, but the purchase of stock was not
neglected as an incidental matter. 1t
is said that the central government and
the cantOns together already owned
before the present act over one-third Of
the stock of the Swiss roads.
