COURT IN WILSON.
Judge Bryan's Bearing and Charge.
BERNARD Still Solicitor.-The Lamm-
Eatman Affair.

Wilson. \. c., Feb 7.-(Special)--
Court IS in session here this week. Judge
II. Il. Bryan presiding. The contrast
between the charge delivered by him to
the grand jury and that of the charges
delivered by some of the wearers Of the
erlnine who have held court here du-
ring the past year, was striking. Judge
Bryan's charge was forcible. clear and
strOng-dignified and temperate-calcu-
lated to rebuild some of the respect for
the administration of law that has been
torn down by the cheap buffOnery of
some of the administrators of justice.
Claudio Melnoticos Bernado' is with
lis this week, prosecuting the docket.
He has not yet received his commission
as United States attorney, and he will
not turn loose this job until the salary
actually begins on his new job.
1t is reported that young Eatman, who
was so badly beat up mt the time his
father was killed by r. II. Iamm, has
recovered sufficiently to do a little talk
ing, and he duplicates others in the
killing of his father. The grand jury
will probably get at the facts this week.
There have been no arrests made for
the killing. Lamm, who was shot, rs

GERMANY's DISCRIMINATION.
1t > Suspected That the Decree was for
the Purpose of Shutting out Fruit in
Competition.

Washington, Feb. Ambassador
White. at Berlin, by cable to the State
Department, has confirmed the press re-
ports of the modification Of the decree
of the German government relative to
the importation into Germany of Amer
lean fresh fruits. It is said that there
is now nothing to do on our part but to
watch the workings of the decree as
means Of testing the spirit in which it
was conceived. whether it was framed
with the single purpose of keeping out
diseased fruit, or whether it was not
a mere pretext to prevent the competi-
tion of our fruit with that of German
production. That the department has
reason to suspect the latter lis evidenced
from the report that comes to it from
United States Consul Barnes at Cologne.
Germany, in which the Consul points
out gross determinations by the local
German officials against American
hams.

dnd Brown, of the Albcmarle aud
Chesapeake Canal Company.
Norfolk, Va, Feb. THE special
meeting of the stockholders of the Al

ny held at it's offices in this city Satur~
day, was significant in that new Pres
ideIIt and director were elected. Robert

position, vice Franklin Weld, resigned,
and Warren G. Elliott, President of
the Atlantic Coast Line, was elected
director, vice w. s. Brown, of Erie,
Penn, who declined to serve For Il
number of months. it is said Il ma jority
of the stockholders have been dissatis-
fed with the way the affairs of the COM
pany have been managed. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Weld recognizing that, in his
official capacity he had not given entire
satisfaction, rendered his resignation
which was at once accepted. 1t was
currently reported that there had been
n large defalcation. hut this was denied
by one of the officers of the company
He stated that for some time there had
been a leakage, im that money which
should have been devoted to one purpose
had been diverted to other channels
An investigation is now being made. 1t
is not anticipated that this will disclose
any defalcation but rather that it will
show an lnbus:ness like lOOscness.

FIELD UNIFORMS
Miles Makes Changes in the Interest
Of Health

WASHINGTON, April 2.-General Miles
commanding the army. after comforting
with Secretary Alger, has ordered 100 can
vas uniforms, with view to their general
introduction as q light and serviceable field
uniform for the United States army. 1t is
Il marked departure in uniforminG the
army and one in the interest of preserv-
ing the health of the men while In active
service. The sample uniforms already or
dered are of strong canvas of a fine texture.
but durable material. The color Is gray
brown, said to be particularly desirable
in time of hostilities, as it is difficult to be
distinguished from the earth, grass, corn
fields or dead leaves. 1t is light and cool
in summer, very serviceable in winter and
mpervious to the rain. The canvas suits
are already in use among frontiersmcn
and do good service in rought outdoor
work.
General Miles idea has been to combine
this serviceable frontier suit with enough
color and adornment to give it military
aspect. The final designs show the canvas
suit and buckskin leggings with colored
cuffs, collar, chevrons and national coat of
arms over the chevrons. The color of the
cuffs, ETC., depends upon the arms Of the
service-in navy blue for the infantry, red
for the artillery and yellow for the cavalry
The hat is Of light felt or of canvas, similar
to that now worm but turned on the left
side, with a colored rosette indicating the
arm of the service and short aigrette or
plume above the rosette. The knee breeches
and leggings complete this serviceable mill
tary field uniform.

ROYAL FEARS
The Spanish King in Danger Of a
Carlist Uprising


BERLIN, April 2.-German Ambassador
at Madrid Herr Won Radowitz reports to
the Foreign Office here that the Spanish
royal family fears an outbreak, unless the
differences between the United States and
Snaiu are soon settled. The Carlist move
ment is assuming more active form and
the royal family fears especially a pro-
nunciamento from General Weyler and the
military party.
Everything is prepared in the royal cas-
tie for flight.
The boy King, Alfonso. will be taken to
San Lucas de Barameda, an Andalusian
port, where yacht is kept ready for sail
ing. The replies to the Queens letter asR-
ing for the Intervention of. the European
powers have been wholly unsatisfactory.
COWBOY CAVALRY
PHOENIX, April Accompanies for a
