THE COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.

Mr.. e. G. Potter has returned from
Tampa, Fla, where he went last week
to represent North Carolina in the hfrh
annual session of the South and west
Commercial Congress. Mr.. Potter re-
turns greatly pleased with Florida anu
her people and he is convinced that much
good will come to the South from the
work of this convention. He says some
very fine addresses We're delivered dur
ing the session. In these the story of
the commercial greatness of the West
and the natural resources and rich
ness of the South were told. "There was
in it all spirit of friendship and de-
sire for mutual helpfulness," said Mr..
Potter. I'VE of the South were inter
ested in the West and the westerner
never tired hearing of the South. All
of Ills were anxious to establish closer
and more satisfactory business ties be-
tween the southern and western States.
Mr.. w. A. Giles, of the National Bnsi-
ness League of Illinois, said that Chi
cago lis now ready and willing to forge
the first link toward such an end in the
arrangement and completion of an expo
sition devoted entirely to the display If

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
For Arrest of the Person who Defacad
the Confederate Monument.


For Arrest of the Person who Defaced
the Confederate Monument.
Friday morning the people of Raleigh
We're shocked and panied to read in the
News and Observer that some one had
desecrated the Confederate monument
in lakewood cemetery by drawing OBJ
scene pictures on lit.
In the same issue of the paper Mr..
w. G. Stronach announced THAT he
would give a reward of $40 for informa-
ton leading to the arrest of the guilty
party.
AS people read of the revolving crime
and then saw the reward offered by this
LOYAL old soldier and lover of the South,
they were fired with indignation. Since
then they have been dropping in at Mr..
Stronach's store and asking to be allow
ed to contribute to the reward offered
for the leprous miscreant who commit
ted the crime; and yesterday morning
the fund amounted to $50.
That sum is therefore offered this
morning for the arrest or information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
the persons who last week drew the OBJ
scene pictures upon the Confederate
monument.
But no true, brave man would shield
such vermin even without any reward.

A SHOOTING IN RALEIGH
AN iNFURIATED HUSBAND NOW USES A
SHOT GUN.
After the Trial Fowler Was bout to Attack Blake
Again With knfe--Says He
Will Kill Him.

Rumor says that there was u woman
at the bottom Of it-and this woman the
wife of Walter Fowler.
But whatever was the cause. Walter
Fowler, white man who lives on
South Fayetteville street, Friday night
shot Capt. W. II. Blake, who lives on
the corner of Hargett and Bloodwortll
streets, and who was for many years
engineer on material train on the
North Carolina Railroad.
For this Fowler was yesterday in the
mayors court and was bound over to
court under $50 bond for assault with
a deadly weapon. On the trial the
cause of the trouble was not brought
out. All the facts there developed were
about AS follows:
Friday night Fowler noticed that his
wife was absent from home. The cir
cumstances aroused his suspicious. He
investigated. His discoveries tended to
confirm his suspicious. He met Blake
on the street and they quarreled. FOw-
Ter threatened to shoot Blake.
The latter, however, did not dream
that he meant what he said until some
five minutes later, as Blake passed under
Cannon street bridge a load of bird
shot came rafting down upon him from
gun in Fowler's hands. They took
effect in his face and shoulders.
Fowler submitted when the case came
up, and the mayor examined two negro
boys. Ones testimony was that he saw
Fowler coming near the cut, and saw
in the cut he afterwards recognized as
w. Il. Blake. and Fowler shot at him
and cursed him.
Mr.. Fowler asked to be allowed to
make statement and began in these
words:
THAT man Blake has been bounding
me and my house for ten years"
Here the Mayor interrupted him, say
ing he must speak only of last nights
happenings as he had submitted the
case
Mr.. Blake interrupted Fowler, but the
Mayor called him down.
Blake gave a word of advice TO the
Mayor, and Mr.. Russ at once squelched
him with the remark that he had heard
too much from both of them.
Fowler then proceeded with n story
of Friday nights shooting. He said that
Friday night when he ate supper his wife
didn't eat. She went to Eaton brakes,
where Blake was.
Can you prove that? interrupted
Blake.
Fowler said yes, he could prove it.
1t looked as though Blake didn't in.
tend to let Fowler say much about the
affair, so the Mayor adjourned court by
sending the matter to the Superior court.
Fowler was placed under a light bond.
Fowler's story of the trouble, as he
told it on the street, is long one
and begins some ten years ago.
He says Blake has disturbed his
home and has caused him much trouble.
He stated further that nights when he
returns home he can see Blake hanging
around the house near the windows, and
that he is nearly always in that neigh
borhOod at night.
After the trial Fowler, with knife in
hand, was about TO assault Blake at
Rem & McGhee's drug store, but was
prevented by the bystanders. He de-
clares he will kin Blake if he ever comes
about his house again.

FOR SOUND MONEY.
TContipued from Second page.

souri, vote for fifteen members of con-
gress, and for mem bers of the general
assem- bly, of this state, who will parti-
cipate in the election OF United
States senator. The next congress
will be called upon to enact important
national legislation concerning our
newly acquired territory, and to re-
adjust our banking and currency sys-
tenn to the commercial and Industrial
progress of the country.
The control of our next house of re-
representatives. by a fusion of Chicago
platform democrats and pOpul1sts
would be public calamity. The bare
apprehension of this is now disturb
ing factor in our revivipg prosperity,
and it's announcement would be dis
tnict shock to public and private enter
prise.
In the present crisis of our national
history and in the light of the new con-
ditions which have developed in the last
two years, we are more than ever con-
WINGED of the soundness of the political
principles, the time-honored eco
nomic and constitutional doctrines of
the democratic party-sound money,
tariff foe revenue only and opposition to
paternalism of all kinds-that were de-
clared in the Indianapolis platform of
1896.
These principles we reaffirm.
While not discriminating between
candidates for state and local officers,
we are constrained to advise that our
highest duty to ourselves and our cOun-
try compels US to oppose at the polls
on the Sth of November any candidate
to the national con ress who is not I'M
equivocally in favor of sound money
and opposed to the heresies of the
Chicago platform. In the
selection of members to the
national congress these issues
are directly involved. The Hateful is
sue which has demoralized the dem
ocratic party must be removed. There
in lies the only hope for the reorganiz-
alton of the party upon sound, econo-
mic and constitutional principles. AS
the direct means to this end we recon
mend that. the republican candidates
for congress be supported in preference
to any candidate who is not distinct
lively and avOwedly opposed to the
Chicago platform of 1896.
In thus supporting sound money can
didstes for congress and aiding to re-
move that issue from our politics, we
shall best perform the patriotic duty
of not embarrassing the national ad-
ministratiou in this crisis of our coun-
try's history.
By order of the executive commit
tee.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Huntington and Hill Arrayed
Against the Morgan Bill.

A special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat from Washington says: 1t
can be authoritatively stated that the
Nicaragua canal bill reported by SEN
ator Morgan and now upon the senate
calendar substantially represents the
views of the Maritime Canal COM
pany upon all important points.
The Maritime company will
have no new propositions to make to
congress at the coming session, but
will dire t oil its efforts toward the
passage of the Morgan bill. While
the sentiment in favor of the building
of the canal has been largely augment
ed by the events OF the war, the agents
OF Mr.. Huntington, of the Southern
Pacific ailway, are confidently predict
ing that the Morgan bill will never
get through congress.
During the past week it has been al
legged here that Mr.. j. J. Hill, of
the Grett Northern railway, was CO.
operating with Mr.. Huntington in his
opposition to the canal hill. The
MART me Canal company people don t
belitv Mr.. Hill will become au ally OF
the Huntington interests in the 6Phf
against the canal. The Maritime
Canal company is not concerning IL
self ab Ut the concessions made to the
Atlss Company. Its representatives
Atlas company in no way con flict with
the ca al concession. As this is the
ground ia en- by the Nicaragusn gov
ernment they think that ought to be
sufficient.
The information from Nicaragua
that NJ, ssrs. Edwin f. Cragin Edward
Eyre ard Frank S. Wash burn will re-
ceive from the Nicsragusn govern
ment a concession for q canal across
