GENERAL JOE WHEELER'S
RECEPTION AT HIS HOME
4 Kentucky Thoroughbred. With
Rich TrnppinGs, Given Him by
the People of HuntsviIle.

Huntsville, Ala, Dec. "A black Ken
with a major generals trappings was pre-
sented to Gen. Joseph Wheeler yesterday
afternoon by the citizens of Huntsville.
1t was the first demonstration of the es-
TEEN entertained for Gen. Wheeler by the
people of his home, and the city was
crowded by visitors from all parts of the
Eighth Congressional district.
The formal presentation was made by
Capt Milton Humes, who extolled Gen.
Wheeler's public record and expressed
the wish that the future would have in
store for him many years of useful actiY-
ity in the service of his country.
Gen. Wheeler was visibly touched by
these words; and in reply said:
ITO be the recipient of honors and to
win the approyal5 of strangers and newly
made friends would be gratifying to any
one, but to receive such assurances as
have today from those with whom l have
lived during my. entire manhood is the
highest and most valued honor which by
any possibility could be bestowed upon
me. 81 -
Life with meiis drawing to close,
my race is nearly run, and it is ever be-
fore me that the people to whom l am
indebted for this homer have done much to
smooth the path it has been my fate GO
tread
-Four cavalry regiments which form a.
part of Gen. Wheeler's command passed
in review at the conclusion of the presen-
tation.

AND THIS, in CRAVEN COUNTY
Newbern Journal.

----
INewbern Journal.
The truth that far exceeds the
fiction of negro Office holding is
to be found in Craven county to-
day.
And yet this negro Office hold
ing, which controls county affairs,
bids fair to become greater than
it is at present.
Familiarity with the negro in
office may breed an Indifference
to his presence, may in time
cause daily contact with him in
his office to provoke no CONS
ment, and the right of the negro
to govern the white man may be
quietly accepted.
But before the white man loses
his selfsrespect, his manhood,
his belief and faith in Anglo
Saxon rule, before such a time
shall come, if it were possible
for the white race to fall beneath
negro domination, the Journal
Will briefly picture Craven coun-
ty of to-day, and the conditions
which a white man must face.
His purchase of property
makes him go to a court house
and seek a negro concerning his
right and title to the property.
Seeking d marriage license, he
must seek the assistance Of a
negro in order that he, a white
man, may legally aud honorabiy
assume the most sacred and last
ing of life's contracts.
Perfectly innocent, yet himself
and wife may be summoned by a
warrant in the hands of a negro,
to appear before a negro magis-
trate in an office surrounded by
negroes of the lowest type.
Financial misfortune may come,
the negro deputy sheriff visits his
place of business, and in his COM
pany he appears on the public
highway, and perchance is taken
by the same man to the county
Jail.
Or if an accident befalls him, the
law demands an Investigation, and
a negro coroner and a negro jury
render a verdict upon his re-
mains before his family can take
charge of them.
Truly not an encouraging pic
ture, and yet white men have made
such conditions possible, and unless
white men rise against it, there
can be no change.
Who car talk calmly on an issue
with sucha situation? What is Re-
publicanism, Populism, Democra-
cy, when every white ran has the
fling in his face, by the negro him.
self, of that old sneering remark
"what are you going to do about
it,"
And this, in Craven county,
and will the white men do moth
ing?

St. Petersburg, August 20
The official Messenger yesterday
published the following:
"By order of the Gar, Count

"The maintenance of general
peace and the possible reduction
of the excessive ornaments which
weigh upon all nations present
themselves in the existing condition
Of the whole world as an ideal to-
ward which the endeavors of all
government should be directed.
His Majesty, the Emperor, my
august master, has been won over
to this view. In the conviction
that this lofty aim is in conformity
with the most essential interests
and legitimate views of all the
powers, the imperial Government
thinks the present moment would
be very favorable to seek by
means Of international discussion
the most effectual means of insurr
ing to all peoples the benefits of
real and durable peace.
ITO put an end to these inces-
SAINT ornaments and to seek a
means Of warding eff the calam-
tiles that are threatening the
whole world is a supreme duty
which to-day is imposed on all
States.

esty has been pleased to order
that I propose to all the Govern~
ments whose representatives are
accredited to the Imperial Court
the meeting of a conference
which would have to occupy it.
self with this grave problem.
This conference would be, by
the help of Goo. a happy presage
of the century which is about to
open. 1t would converge into one
powerful focus the efforts of all
the States which are sincerely
seeking to make the great con-
ception of universal pace iris
umph over the elements of
trouble and discord, It would at
at the same time cement an
agreement by a corporate con
secration Of the principles of
equity and right, on which rest
the security of States and the
welfare of the people,"

No Settlement Arrived At Re- specting Affairs m
 China.
Public Curiosity as to Events in the Soudan Not Likely to Be
 Gratified.
Special Dispatch .- The Call.

LONDON, Feb. 7.-The Queens 8 speech to Parliament tomorrow IS eX- pected to be long, but rather more re- markable for its omissions than its contents. It Is quite evident that no settlement has yet been arrived at re- specting China which will admit or more than a bare mention. The same applies to the West African difficulty with France and the troublesome Gre tan negotiations, which are again In a state of collapse.
 The public is anxious to learn more about the Soudan advance, but IL IS not likely to be gratified to any extent IL is said, however, that there will pc a long reference to the West Indies ana the sugar commission. NO proposai will be made to relieve the Indian eX- chequer of the costs of the campaign on the northwest frontier.
 The message addressed specially to the House of Commons will deal large ly with the intended increase In the army estimates, with view or strengthening the army and amending the conditions of the service. Some fourteen new bills are mentioned, most ly of local interest.

Colonel Picquart, emanated from one of Colonel Paty du Clam's own friends and not from Colonel Picquart. Coun- sel is willing that Colonel Paty du Clams evidence be given behind closed doors If necessary.
 There is another application calling for the appearance of Generals Mercier and Boisdeffre and others. It declares that they have no right to absent them selves on the plea that their evidence is not necessary, as that is for the court and not for them to decide.
 The court postponed decision until tomorrow and the case was ad- journed.
 Rain prevented a large crowd from assembling around the court, but the corridors of the courthouse were packed with people warmly discussing the trial.
 On the conclusion of the proceedings as General GenZ, who was present in the courtroom in full uniform emerged, accompanied by an orderly, he was greeted with shouts of ''Vive larmee, D and a number of people followed him, cheering until the police dispersed them.
 M. Zola conferred with his counsel, M. Laborie, for half an hour in a pri- vate room and then left by a private staircase and emerged through the DOT ters lodge, but he was recognized as he drove away. The crowd was divided, some cheering the novelist and others denouncing him.
