Rouss ON schIey and Dewey.

The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore American gives an interview
with Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss, in
which he quotes thatgentleman as saying !:
BY the way, 1 see that a chain has
been started to buy my old schoolmate,
Schley, home in Washington. Tell the
young lady, if she is handsome, to put him
down for good sum; but want her to
succeed. and llhelp her anyway. Schley
deserves more than he received, and as
for Dewey can you match him any
where in the world? I'll say nothing of
the ridiculous story that l did not close
up shop Dewey Day, but if you are look
ing for a man who adores Dewey and be-
lieves Schley the greatest naval officer
now in command of fleet, come down
to see old Broadway Rouss.'

Charles Town boys in various parts of
the United States are going to the front.
Especially is this true of those in New
York, where more than one hundred are
actively engaged in business. Our latest
advices from New York City are to the
effect that Mr.. A. Welles Stump has been
nominated for Assemblyman from the sth
District, en- the Tammany Hall ticket
The District is about evenly divided, and
with such hustling candidate as Welles
we have no doubt he will win. 1t is re.
ported that the Charles Town Colony in
New York will stump the district for him.
There is no doubt Welles is hustler,
and is building up quite business in the
practice of law. He is also President of
the Charles Town Colony. Mr.. ]. Stewart
Mcknight, another Charles Town boy.
has also been nominated for the Assem-
bly,, in the Second Assembly District of
Queens, on the Republican ticket.

NO ACTION BY DEPARTMENT.
Immunes Private Citizens to Be Dealt
With by Civil Court.

Washington, March 10--Despite re-
peated rumors to the contrary. the War
Department has no intention of taking
official action in the case of the Tenth
col0red immunes and other regiments
that have been making trouble in tran
sit through the South since their dis
charge.
In contraveption of the story that a
court of inquiry was to be appointed to
inquire into the matter, it is pointed out
by the officials of the department that
the men who have been making the
trouble are 10 longer soldiers of the
United States, having been mustered
out they are private citizens in the full
est sense. The local police authorities
have power to deal with them wherever
they violate the local law, and the War
Department has neither power nor inclin-
alton to interfere in the matter. The
only result likely to occur so far as the
Department is concerned is that here
after the discharged troops probably VIII
be taken to their own State in a body
and mustered out there. instead of
being turned loose far from home with
several months Of military repression to
be worked off in conviviality and inn
promptu shooting matches.

At Monroe they raided the dispensary,
carrying off some seventy-fve packages
of whiskey. And at Henderson they
came near killing an old white man
named Crozier.
In Weldon, the last point at which
they stopped in this State, their conduct
was the worst. At the point of pistol
they forced John Battle, a, worthy col
ored man, to drink seven glasses of
whiskey. Battle fell down senseless
soon after drinking the liquor and died
before a physician could be summoned.

Arranging a Scheme to Regulate Their

Relations in the Far East.
Pekin, March 10.-The Chinese For
cign Office has received dispatch from
st. Petersburg saying that as result
of negotiations between Russia and
Great Britain, the Russian Minister
here viii withdraw his protest against
the Hong Kong contract.
The Hong Kong contract is identical
with the Niu Chwang contract.
The Daily Graphic, a usually well
informed paper of London, made the
following announcement this morning:
"The Niu Chwang contract crisis has
been amicably settled by direct ex-
change of views between the British and
the Russian Governments. The Rus
sian assurances are completely satisfac-
tory. The whole difficulty is ended and
the two Governments are arranging Il
scheme by which their relations in the
Far East may be permanently regulat-
ed"
The London Times in its financial ar
ticle of February LIST announced a Chi
nese five per cent railroad loan of Sill
100000 had been arranged by China
with a British syndicate, the loan be-
ing specially secured on the Chinese
northern railroads. China, it was add
ed, had given Great Britain a pledge
that these railroads would not be alien
ated to any foreign power. 1t is ap-
parently against this loan or its terms
that Russia protested the transaction
since becoming known as the Niu
Chwang. or Hong Kong loan. Niu
Chwang is the Chinese port at the head

5.209 T. S. Statutes, relative to the
conduct of national banks. Each OF the
defendants gave bond in the sum OF $o,-
0UU each.
On October 9TH, at 1870 a. m. Deputy
Il. S. Marshals Bailey and Free arrly-
ed in Asheville from Greensboro, bear
ing warrants returnable at Greensboro,
and sworn out by Bank Examiner
Moxey before Judge Purnell, charging
Messrs. Breese, Penland and Dickerson
with embezzlement and fixing their
bonds at $4,000 each. The three de-
PENDANTS were arrested at 8 a. IN. ana
were allowed till D. m. to complete
their huge bonds. Messrs. Penland and
, Dickerson failed to do so and were taken
to Jail, together, while Major Breese
went of his own accord, declaring that
he would share the fate of his COM
panions. The required bonds were Civ
en- in few hours, when all the defend
ants were released.
The failure of the First National Bank
was the direct cause of the failure of
two other Asheville banks. The West
ern Carolina Bank, which had many
savings deposits, closed for liquidation"
on October 10Th. The National Bank OF
aSutNllle, lue Oul9
bank in the city, endured run till Oc-
tober %, when it suspended. Almost
instantly a tremendous run began on
the Battery Park Bank, but it's officers
had made ample preparation. lnfluen-
tial business men also came to the res
cue, and there was never any serious
danger of it going under. In fact the
deposits on that day largely exceeded
the Withdrawals.
Messrs Breese and Dickerson and
their attorneys We're astounded few
weeks ago to learn that Mr.. Penland
had gone over to the enemy, so to speak.
In short, he had withdrawn from their
councils, and had employed separate
counsel, and made a confession of his
connection with the bank affairs to the
Government. These facts were urged as
one ground for a continuance of the
case when it came up last Friday, but
it was not allowed because Penland' S
legal status had not been changed. tie
was still defendant, as the Govern
ment solicitors had refrained from sum
moning him as Il witness.
The counts in the indictments average
in number about 80 to each man. so that
in case they are convicted on every
count and are given the maximum pun
ishment, the sum total of the penalties
would be several life terms III the peni-
tentiary.
