pany for The sale OF the property. and dur
ing that time Il was reported at least ha.t
a dozen times that the deal had been
closed, only TO be denied again by the
owners. Differences arose between the d.
rectors Of the Lie Roi company which dn-
ally brought on litigation IN the courts on
both sides Of the boundary line in which
charges OF fraud and conspiracy wera made
between the parties until it looked as If
the mine would be swallowed up in expen-

Shortly after negotiations were opened up
with The British-American company, Sem

German Enmities With France,

New York Commercial Advertiser
German enmities with France are cur
lousy involved in the kaiser's neteor.c trip
to Palestine. Ancient treaties confer on
France an express prerogative 10 act as the
official protector in the suitans dominion
of all Roman Catholics or persons profess
ing the FranlSish religion" This right was
solenn,y confirmed to France III the Berlin
treaty Of 1873. Now. however, Emperor
" ill;am has officially announced that all
German Catholics in Turkey are under his
protection. OF course they would be en-
tilted TO claim. and Il would be the German
governments duty to give, this protection
IN any event. The announcement Is per-
haps designed 10 bring the imperial speaker,
into closer harmony with the pope. whose
relations with Germany are somewhat
strained Probably IL is an indirect sian At
France. whose troubles are So many that
every one who has occasion is anxious to
add TO them.

TO MUSTER OUT THE SECOND.
The Work Begins at Charlotte Tomor-
row-Trouble in Mastering Out.


The Work Begins at Charlotte Tomor-
row-Trouble in Mastering Out.
The mastering out of the Second
North Caronna regiment begins tomor-
row at Charlotte, where the GastOnia
company will be mustered out. Capt.
Todd and his assistants left here Sui
day for Charlotte. From Charlotte the
officers go to Ashevile, Morganton,
Greensboro, Fayetteville, Wilmington
and Tarboro in the order named
Ever since it was announced that the
regiment would be mustered out its Off
GERS have been having much trouble
properly accounting for the property Of
the government they have i'll their pos
session.
The government will require that every
article be accounted for. Every officer
or man in the volunteers who has
charge of government property VIII
have to account for it before he can be
mustered out and paid
Reccipts were given for equipments
when received from the government, and
the volunteer officers who gave such re-
ceipts will be held responsible for them.
Their nav accounts will not be settled
until every article is accounted for. Ii
men have carried home any of the guns.
revolvers. swords or any other article,
or if they have lost any of these articles,
the cost will be charged against the men
and they will have the amount taken out
of their final pay.
The officers whose duty it is to make
final settlements with the volunteers dc
not look forward to a very pleasant
time. as information already received
at the War Department indicates that
there has been Il great deal of care
lessness already in the matter of hand
ling government property. and that
which has been lost or destroyed has not
been accounted for in a manner which
will make settlement easy. The guns
with which the National Guard was
equipped when the call for volunteers
was made, and which were brought in
to service by the volunteers, are the
property of the United States.
Instead of being turned into the State
arsenals and armories, where they
were kept before the war. they are to
be returned to the United States. This
requirement will probably cause some
confusion, for it is known that in some
States volunteers have already stacked
their arms in the armorieS and arSenalS
of the States. and have not turned them
over to the Federal ordnance officer. as
the order mastering ont troops requires.
All these arms must he accounted for.
1t is the intention of the War Depart
ment to again supply the States when
the guns and arms are accounted for,
hut in order to keep Il straight account
in the department records it is necessary
TO have them all turned over to the
government. The same is true of other
government property.

CONNECTS PLAN ESCAPE.
Federal Prisoners Were Tunnelling I'm
der the Penitentiary Wall.

Federal PRISONERS were Iunnelllng Tn
der the Penitentiary Wall.
A daring attempt of Federal prisoners
to tunnel their way out of the peniten-
tiary and make their escape was recently
discovered by the authorities of that in
stitution These convicts had sunk a
shaft about six feet deep near the stone
wall that surrounds the penitentiary,
and had tunnelled about half the distance
under the wall when discovered.
The work had been conducted very
cleverly. The shaft was sunk behind a
pile of debris which shielded their OPP
erations and kept it from ordinary dis
covery. The digging was done mostly
during the dinner hour. When the pris-
oners were thus resting, one or more of
these Federal convicts would slip to the
shaft and get in their quiet work. The
dirt was removed and gotten rid of very
skillfully. A few more days and their
work would have been completed, but
the best laid plans of mice and men of
ten gang aglee."
The Federal Inspector who looks af-
ter the working of the Federal prisoners,
requires that they be given plenty of
time for exercise and they have more
latitude and time than the State convicts.
This gives these Federal convicts more
opportunity to plan and execute their de-
viltry. Among these Federal prisoners
are many desperate moonshiners who
are constantly giving the authorities
much trouble.
