The New Freshet I'm the Cape Fear

The weather bureau reported that the
stage Of water in the Cape Fear river
at Fayetteville yesterday at s o'clock
was 36.5 feet above low water mark
and was still on the rise.
The weather bureau sent cut a warn
ing a few days ago that the river would
probably rise to the danger line or
exceed it and as the river was report
ed within less than two feet of the
danger line yesterday morning there
is no doubt that it got above SO feet
by the afternoon.
The Fayetteville Observer of Friday
says:
THE river is a sight to behold. AS
far as the eye can reach, and from
bank to bank, the river, now immense,
is one solid mass of whirling cakes Of
ice and snow.
"Pilot Danie Buxton says that in all
his ~fifty-One years experience on the
Cape Fear he has never seen the like
before. Neither the Hurt nor the Dri-
yer, o to leave here this morning,
dare venture on their trips. If they
did they would be smashed to splinters
of cut in two"

The Election to be Held TOday-The
Funeral to Take Place Thursday

Paris, February 1.-THE premier, NJ.
Dupuy, has fixed the meeting of the
national assembly or congress-, in which
the senators n depties unite in vot-
ing for a president Of France, for 1
o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Yer
sailleS.
At a meeting of the leftist senators
today NJ. Loubet, the president of the
senate and former premier, was unani-
mOusly nominated for the presidency
of France, in succession to the late
President Faure. The senators consider
that NJ. Loubet's election is assured.
At a meeting of eighty progessiSt re-
publicans today, the ~candidature of NJ.
Meline, the former premier, as a sue
cesSor of the late President Faure was
adopted. Later in the day it was an
nounced hat NJ. Meline, in spite of the
objections of his supporters has with
drawn his ca%ndidature for the presi-
dency in favor of NJ. Loubet.
NJ. Dupuy declines to enter the polit-
zeal contest against NJ. Loubet
In view of the apparently united sup
port of the senate and NJ. Meline's
withdrawal in his favor, it was gener-
ally thought this afternoon that NJ.
Loubet's election is almost assured.
The funeral of the dead president will
take place next Thursday in the cathe-
dral of Notre Dame and the interment
will occur in the cemetery of Pere
Lachaise. The enate and the chamber
of deputies adjourned today as a mark
of mourning.
Enthusiastically before midnight it
was announced that NJ. Meline had def
initely accepted the candidature for the
presidency.

terms of the treaty. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Philippines issedd a dec
laration Of independence last summer
before the treaty was negotiated. OPP
position to the treaty, therefore, could
not have caused a desire for independ-
ence which was expressed before the
treaty was made. If it is wrong for
any n in this country to inspire in
other races a desire for seh-govern-
ment, the imperialists ann confine
their ~reproaches to the living. They
must lay the blame upon American
statesmen long since dead. Patrick
Henry was responsible to some extent,
because the sentiments expressed in his
speech have found a Judgment in the
hearts of all the races. Washington
must also be blamed, for when he drew
his sword in defense of the rights of
the colonists, he gave inspiration to all
similarly situated. Jefferson was large
ly to blame, because the declaration Of
independence, the work of his pen, has
been an inspiration to the lovers of lib
erty in every cline. Abraham Lincoln
cannot escape his share of blame, if
those are to be blamed who have arous-
ed among the oppressed a desire for
participation in the government under
which they lived. When the great
emancipation delivered his speech at
Gettysburg and appealed to the people
of the United States to SO act that "a
i've llilCil " liz pCCpiC, - lhC pCO-
pie and by the people shall not perish
from the EARTH he did more to stimu-
late the desire for self-government
thar has been done by any other pub
lie man in half a century.
1.-THE American people cannot apply
the European n monarchial doctrine
of force in the subjugation and govern
ment of alien races and at the same
time stand forth as a defender of the
principles embodied in our declaration
of independence, and constitution. A
man may love a double life when only
one of his lives is known, but as soon
as his duplicity becomes manifest to
the world he can lead but one life and
that the worst. AS soon as we estab-
lish two forms of government, n by
consent in this country and the other
by force in Asia, we shall cease to have
the Influence Of a republic and join in
the spoliation of helpless people under
the pretense of comforting upon them
unsought and undesired blessings.
Independence for the Philippines I'M
der a protectorate which will guard
them from outside interference while
they work out their destiny is consist
ent with American traditions, Ameri-
can history, and American interests.
The ooner the declaration is made the
sooner will come. the rewards assured
to individuals and nations who strive
to do good" -

A Surplus of G Coin

Washington, February 1S.-A tele-
gram was received at the treasury today
from New Orleans, stating that there
was a surplus of gold there and an in
sufficient supply of paper currency,
and asking that an exchange be made.
Treasurer Roberts, in speaking of the
situation said:
I'VE have in the treasury m its
branches 1927, 900, 00J in gold and $23,-
00O, 900 in paper. We are giving out
what paper we can and distributing it
as we'll as we can among our nine SUBJ
treasures. We have received lately
similar appeals from New York, Gin
%cinnati, Chicago and Kansas City, ask
ing for paper in return for deposits of
gold in the sub-treasury at New York.
We have informed applicants that they
would have to pay bankers rates for
transportation in such exchanges, and
while the difference between bankers
and government rates is slight, 1t
seems to be enough to prevent calls for
the money.
The cause for these demands seems
to be that the people are not accustom-
ed to using gold coin, and particu-
larly to the fact that business is so &C
tive that paper money is being kept
out among individuals instead OF being
in the banks. If gold does not become
popular as a means Of commercial in
terchange the banks will have to give
relief by increasing the issues Of their
own notes. That is where the relief
must come from"

AN ACTIVE
To be Instituted Against the Philippe
nos Before the Wet Season Sets In

Washington, February 1S.-General
Otis cabled the war department the
names of nine American soldiers
wounded on Tariquina road, north of
the pumping station yesterday. Of
these Private George Adams, Company
A, First Nebraska, died last night.
The reports Of such skirmishes as
those noted above, and the stories of
frequent firing by concealed natives
upon the American outposts, have on
veyed the impression to the officials
here hat General Otis is being rapid
ly brought to a pass where he must
assume a most vigorous offensive cam
paign. Although no instructions have
yet been sent to him, it is assumed
that he will feel justified soon in doing
this to prevent the decentralization of
his troops and also to make his posi-
ton tenable in the approaching wet
season. The nature of the country
around manila favors the tactics the
insurgents seem to have accepted,
thinking that they could not face the
American soldiers in the field and it
doubtless will be General Otis task
just as soon as his reinforements reach
him, to clear them away.
Half a dozen natives concealed in the
jungle and firing at long range at in
~tervals, could make life unbearable
for a whole company Of regular troops
until they were dislodged. Military Of
ficers who have had experience in this
kind of fighting say that men become
panicky and lose their nerve under this
treatment.
1t is estimated that at the rate Of
progress now making by the transport
Grant, the 1880 troops on hat ship
will land at Manila about March 4th.
A couple Of weeks later the Sherman
will arrive at the same place with a
similar number of troops and :wo
weeks after that the Sheridan is due
with the troops now embarking at New
York Before the first of these troops
reach Manila the dry season Will have
gotten we'll toward an end and only
a few weeks will be left for acti.e OPP
erations, so there is need for steady
work in the preparations at all points,
in order to assure a fairly comforta-
BILE summer for our troops. A consid-
Grafton that favors a termination of
the struggle at an early date is the
fact that the latest reports rather in
dictate that the insurgents are 5ecom-
ing short Of ammunition, n with re-
doubted vigilance on the part IF the
naval forces around LuZOn they may
be brought to terms on this account
as much as from any other.

Chemical Test ofArmy Beef

Chicago, February lI.-Samples of
the canned beef American soldiers in
Porto Rico and Cuba said was unfit
for food have been tested chemically
and analysed with respect to fitness for
food by expert chemists employed by
The Chicago Tribune. The result of
these analyses shows that in the cans
submitted there was no race of either
boric or salicylic acid, or any other
chemical preservative in the meat,
aside from salt, and that the high tenn
.peratures of the Cuban climate, in all
probability, accounted for its apparent
unfitness for food when opened by the
soldiers.

Another decided improvement, quite
up-to-date, will be a plant for lighting

To Compromise on the army Bill

Washington, February 17.-There
was a pronounced movement in the
senate today looking to a compromise
on the army reorganization bill. The
movement originated with several re-

opinion that a compromise was prefer
able to an extra session of congress.
