REV. MR. DEXTER FOUND.
Missing Nyack, N. Y., Clergyman Los
 cated tn AshevIllc, NC

Nyack, N. F., Nov. 15.-News at last has been received which tends to clear up the mystery of the disappearance of the Rev. Hart Dexter, who went to New York about a week ago and concerning whose whereabouts the po- lice of the metropolis have been unable to ascertain anything. Foul play was feared. This evening Mrs. Dexter, his wife, received a letter from A. N. Morse of Asheville, N. C., stating that her husband was at his home and be- ing cared for. The letter stated that MT. DeXter's mind was not clear, but that he was getting better. Mrs. Dex- ter received a brief telegram last night which apprised her of the fact that her husband was found, but she kept the secret until the letter was received this evening. MT. Morse, who wrote the letter, is an old friend of the Dexter family His letter received tonight does not state how Mr. Dexter made the trip from the city south or anything regarding the details of his strange disappearance from New York.

THE MOLINEUX TRIAL.
FOrty-six TaIesmeM Examined But Not
 One ChOsen as JurymaM.

New York, Nov. 15-The trial of Roland B. Molineux, charged with the death of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, was continued before Recorder Golf in the court of general sessions to-day. Ef- forts were directed towards securing a jury, but notwithstanding the fact that forty-six talesmen were examined not one juryman was chosen. Barlow s. Weeks, counsel for the defense, or one of his assistants, closely questioned each of the talesmen, asking for terms and propounding hypothetical questions until Recorder Golf condemned the practice of any attempt whatever to confuse citizens summoned for jury duty.
 The defense used it's first peremptory challenge later in the day after Louis Jacobs had apparently passed a search ing examination. The defense used a second peremptory challenge, refusing to accept as a juror Richard l.. Tref- fusth, former steward of the New York club, after the state had an- nounced it's willingness to have him sit in the jury box. Of those who failed to qualify several objected to the death penalty, about the same number de- clared their unwillingness to convict on 'circumstantial evidence, half score were unable to determine terms asked about by the defense. The case will be continued tomorrow.

PATRTA VALUED AT $.0O,OOO
Her Cargo Was Also Worth Greater
 Part of Million.

New York, Nov. 15.-Emil Boas gen. eral manager of the Hamburg -Ameri- can line, when told of the steamer Pa- tria's misfortune said: "The Patria car ried only second-cabin passengers and steerage. She may have had about fifty persons in the steerage. The cargo was worth the greater part of a million dol lars. The vessel herself was worth about $7OO,000 We insure ourselves. The Patria had about sixty officers and crew, all of them living in Germany"
 In her short life the Patria was un- lucky. The Patria was a steel, twin screw, four masted steamship. She was built at Stettin in 1894. Her total tonnage was 6664. She was 460 feet long. She had triple-expansion engines. Her horse power was 57S. She was a combination cargo and passenger steam ship. Her last trip to this port ended october 26, and she sailed for Hamburg on November 4.

Last Open Work Before YaIe-Harvard
 Game.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 15.-The Har- yard football practice to-day was open for the last time before the Yale game. Taking advantage of this, most of the undergraduates assembled by classes and marched to Soldiers field. A light rain was falling, but about two thou sand students did their best to make the team feel their support. The cheer- ing was constant and added much to the spirit of the team. Several songs including Harvard Day" were sung. The playing of the team was good, showing a steady improvement. Be- fore the afternoon was over substitutes had played in every position on the eleven except in the place of Burden and J. Lawrence. The sub-ends were weak, but the center of the line was impregnable. After the usual prelimi- nary practice the varsity players lined up against the substitutes They ss- cured four touchdowns without much trouble.

TO HARASS THE AMERICANS
RECENT ORDERS OF UINILDO FOUND IN FILIPINO TRENCHES.
Ills Troops Told Not 10 Oppose Ameri- can Advance-Ordered to Burn Wal lages as They Are Evacuated-Rebe Leader of the Island of Panny Cap tured-AlI Ports Closed,

Manila, Nov. 15-11 P. m.-Generai
 Hughes, with parts of the Nineteenth
 and Twenty sixth regiments, moved from Ioilo Thursday, November g, to Otton, six miles west, for the purpose of capturing Santa Barbara, the rebel stronghold, ten miles north of Iloilo.
 Heavy rains preceded the movement, and the roads were in places impassa ble. The same night Colonel Carpenter, with the Eighteenth regiment and Bat tery G of the Sixth artillery, moved westerly from Jaro to connect with General Hughes. Colonel Carpenter was forced to return to Jaro on account of the roads, and the entire movement was hampered by lack of proper trans portation. Company c of the Twenty sixth regiment had the only fighting. When three miles out of Jaro this com pany charged the rebel trenches and three of the enemy were killed. One American was wounded. General Hughes on November 12 occupied Tag banan and Guimbal, on the southern coast, and Cordova, in the interior. The enemy did not oppose General Hughes advance.
 Recent orders from Aguinaldo found in the trenches said: DO not oppose the American advance. Burn the vil lages as they are evacuated. Divide the forces into bands of forty. Harass the Americans on every occasion offer- ed" Araneta, the rebel leader of the Island of Panay. has been captured at Tagbanan while attempting to pass the lines into Iloilo. Two battalions of the Twenty y-sixth will garrison Iloilo and Jaro. San Miguel visible from Iloilo, has been burned by the rebels. It is reported that an expedition evaded the navy recently and landed arms and am munition on the Antique coast and that the rebels threaten opposition with an force of three thousand men. These stories are disbelieved. All ports of the Sulu islands outside of the Amer ican possessions have been closed to commerce.

This friendship between the American republic and the British empire, declared the speaker, is one of the most dramatic and may be- come one of the most momentous and far-reaching episodes in modern history. It does not, however, imply hostility to any other great power"

This is one of the prominent roads

truth, and no greater truth came
from the lips of man, that unless
redeemed from radical fusion rule,
the old STATE with her history and

And It's Relation to the 100000 Appxe-
priation for Public schools.
The Superintendent of Public
instruction has issued the follow
ing letter to the County Superin-
tendents of Schools:
Dear Sir: : / have had some
enquiries as TO whether delay
ia sending the census reports to
this office in O :tober would affect
The apportionment to the counties
of the 800. 900 appropriation.
FRS, I will say the census
that is now being taken is not to
be reported to this Office until
July, 1900. when your regular
annual report-is made.
This census you are now TAX
ing is for the scholastic year 1899
and 1900, which began July 1st,
1899, and will end June 30th,
1900.
You will see on page 45
Pamphlet of School Law, that In
January, 1900. we will use as She
basis -of apportionment at this
time ''bhe school census of the
previous scholastic year."
Therefore the school census of
the scholastic year 1898 and 1899
will be used. This census is in
cluded in the last annual reports
sent to this Office in July OF the
present year.
The census should, however,
be completed promptly by Octo-
Der 1st, as req quired by law SO
thu County Boards may knov
how to apportion the school fund.
Speaking, approximately, will
say that you may expect about
16 cents per capita for your
school population from the
500, 600 appropriation.
Yours truly,

Please telegraph at our ex-
pense your opinion on the fol-
lowing questions;
First-Would not Dawey, if
nominated by the Democratic
conventions, splendlaly represent
Democratic principles?
Second-Would he not surely
beat Mckinley?
Thir1 Bryan's own State
should defeat his ticket and plat

To which Mr.. Simmons replied
as follows:

New York World, New York:
I answer your three questions
as follows:
First-If Dswey is an expan-
sionist in the sense that he fav>
ors colonial system of govern
ment for our new possessions he
does not represent Democratic
sentiment, even should he be in
harmony with that party on the
questions of finance, tariff
and the trusts.
Second-If not in harmony
with the party on these vital
questions he would be weak
candidate despite his great
achievement and fame.
Third-BryaI's leadership and
avail ability does not depend to
the same extent as in case of an
ordinary party leader on the re-
suit of an election in his State In
an off year.
