GOVERNOR WANTS
THAT MONEY BACK
But He's Having Trouble
in Getting it,
HE'LL GO TO WASHINGTON

ON ALREADY.

charges in the First Regiment. He
Wants Major Davis Retained
on CutY Pere.

Private Secretary Cade yesterday an,
nounced that the Governor would leave
Saturday morning for Washington
city. He goes to the National capital
Mr.. Cade says, for three things:
/. To get permission of the Secretary OF
War for the First regiment to recruit
up and to secure the discharge of such
members Of it as are now anxious TO
leave the service.
.. 10 ask the President for a modifi-
eaten of the order directing Maj. Chas.
l.. Davis. now detailed here on duty, to
re;oin his regiment i'll Porto Rico.
s. TO look after the States claim
against the government for expenses in
Cured in the mobilization of volunteer
troops from this State.
Governor Russell and the War De-
partment have never agreed on the policy
that the latter ought to pursue.
This has seemed to cut little ice with
the Secretary of War, but to His Excel
lency it Has been source of continual
annoyance.
He limited as much to the Secretary
two or three times-the Governor did.
This was IN the early stages of the late
unpleasantness. But the Secretary
didn't seem to take the hint. and His Elk
cellency one day got gay. broke through
the ice of reserve and boldly told the
aforesaid Secretary what he thought of
him.
This was in the palmy days of the
Second and about the birth-time of the
Third regiment. Since then relations be-
Chief Executive have been somewhat
strained.
This state of affairs brought about,
His Excellency subsidized into quietude
with the serene consciousness of duty
well performed. In the meantime the
work of mobilizing and equipping the
volunteer troops went merrily on at the
State expense. under promise of the gov
eminent to repay the outlay Before
the bill was completed it amounted to
nearly SO, 900. or, to be accurate $685.
173.
The other day the bill was sent in.
Then for the first time the Governor
discovered that the Secretary of War
had stacked the cards on him in that lit
tie game of firing back and forth at
each other during the summer For in
stance. there was against the State of
North Carolina, in the War Department
an Indian claim of $4,000 This the
Secretary had unearthed and now pro-
posed to back up against the Governors
claim of $3.50 and leave him still S12.-
600 in the slds.
OF course this made His Excellency
mad again, but he didn't say much. He
simply appointed J. G. Logan Harris
special agent to try his hand at collecting
the $4,000. and have that $50, 000
wiped out. But Loge couldn't do it.
Now the Governor will see what he can
do at il.
To this end. as stated above. he
starts for Washington Saturday morn
ing. He'll arrive there Saturday night.
This will give him Sunday to survey the
ground. throw up breast works and hold
council of war with Lieut Harris
On Monday morning he will make an
assault on the Secretary of War. The
result of the engagement no man can
foretell.

LIBRARY OPEN AT NIGHT.
Candidate for State Librarian Promises
TO Keep the Library Open at Night.


Mr.. r. c. Ennis has announced him
self a candidate for State Librarian
upon platform that will be endorsed by
the people of Raleigh:
1T should be so managed that it
would be of great educational advant-
age TO all who may avail themselves of
its privileges. To make it what it should
be, number of changes, or reforms will
be necessary. Instead of its being open
hours, during "A, it should remain open
at least from s o'clock IA. m. to Z o'clock
p. M. and also from s O'clock D. m. to
Ill o'clock y. IN. In other words. IA
hours instead of 8 hours as it now is.
This would enable all classes to have ac-
cess TO it, especially at night, when
there are so many visitors from abroad
IN the city, and many others whose
hours during the day are such that they
are deprived of its benefits altogether
This plan would open the Library to
thousands who are now barred of its
benefits, and who could use it as Il place
to spend n pleasant and profitable even
ing. With these and other changes
made, the Library would be of incalcul-
able value, and a lasting benefit to the
people OF the entire State"

ceeding twenty days, for the purpose of

ceived he shall proceed to add up the
figures as they appear in and by said
returns or abstracts. From these he
shall make an abstract stating the mum
Der of ballots cast for each candidate,
the names of the persons voted for, for
what offices they received the votes, the
number of votes each received, and
whom, by such count, he ascertains to
be elected to the office, which said alb
stract he shall sign in his official ca
pacity, and cause the seal of the State

MILES ON MILITARY FORCES
ADVOCATES AN INCREASE IN
OUR ARMY.
Senior Quesada Expresses the Graft
tude of Cubans for the Noble
Efforts of Ameri-
cans.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, Oct 1S.-General Nelson A.
Miles was the central figure in the re-
ception rendered to the army heroes at
the exposition to-day. 1t was another
ideal exposition to-day.
The crowd was by no means sugges-
tive of the surging multitude of the day
before, but it far exceeded that or Or
binary occasions. % Thousands of people
who had been unable to get into the
grounds to see the President came out
early to be sure and see General Miles,
and before II o'clock the Auditorium
was filled to the doors.
General Miles entered the building a
few minutes later, escorted by Presl-
dent Wattles and accompanied by ms
staff, General Greeley, several mem
bers of the diplomatic corps, Governor
Holcomb and members of the local re-
ception committee.
Governor Holcomb was introduced to
speak in welcome to the guests of the
day. The Governor alluded to Cen
eral Miles as the hero of two wars,
which melted a tumult of cheers and
handclapping, which did not subside
until President Wattles led the distin-
guished soldier to the front Of the plat
form, when the crowd arose and greet
ed him with three ringing cheers.
An allusion to General Greeley pro-
duced a similar demonstration, and 1t
was repeated when General Miles was
introduced. He said:
II am deeply gratified that the people
of the West have set aside one day OF
this exposition in honor of the army
and navy of the United States. By the
army and navy I mean every part of
N6Eyci ho n
the strength, perpetutty and grandeur
of this republic"
The speaker commended for the neces-
sity of a military force commensurate
with the interests and Importance of
the nation. There should be at least
one well equipped and disciplined sol
der to every 1000 of our population, he
said. AS the nation is developed the
army and navy should grow in proper
ton.
The introduction of General A. w.
Greeley was followed by another hearty
demonstration. His sympathetic refer
ence to General Wheeler, who had been
expected to speak at this time. but who
was trying to do his duty in the face Of
his terrible bereavement, was heard
with a silence that was an eloquent ex-
preston of sympathy of the audience.
Senior Gonzales de QueSada received a
greeting that carried all the hearty en-
thusiasm that had characterized those
which had been extended to the pre-
vious speakers. He declared that the
emotions that almost mastered him at
this moment were sufficient proof that
Cuba is not ungrateful He eloquently
pictured the desolation in Cuba, but
declared that there is one flower that
still blossoms, and this was the graft
tude of the heroes of three generations
to the people who had fought side by
side with them to give them liberty.
The exercises closed with short adj
dress by Senator Allen, who spoke in
behalf of the veterans of the Civil War,
and then the official party adjourned to
the cafe, where an elaborate luncheon
was served.
