Serious Wire Cutting.

London, Oct. 2.-The announced IN
tention of the British Cabinet to meet

expected to be about the nineteenth of

from Africa this morning leads to the
belief that there has been widespread
cutting of the wires.
An advertisement appeared this
morning announcing the formation of Il
corps Of gentlemen Rough Riders.

Mention.

NEWPORT NEWS VA, March 10
Especial 1T is probable that the PROPOSE
ton recently made by Superintendent
Bennett, of Benefits North Carolina
Lire. in connection with the proposed
steamboat line between Newport News
and Suffolk. will be accepted by the bust
ness-men Of the city. Mr.. Bennett prom
iscd to put on a steamer for three months
as an experiment, provided the people Of
Newport News and Suffolk guaranteed SIS
a day of the expenses Of the company. 1t
is believed that three months time will
show whether or not the line can be
made q paying institution.
The Democratic Executive Committee
held n meeting last night in the office of
the City Treasurer for the purpose Of con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of holding pri-
mary in advance of the approaching

mously To hold a primary April 18th be
tween the hours OF noon and s p. NJ. for
the election of Treasurer and seven Com

The Board Of School Trustees Is being
sharply criticised for its recent action in
docking" the public-schOol teachers for
the week lost during the February storm,
when the schools were ordered closed for
the full week by the board. The teachers
think this is small work, and many
citizens agree with them The ladies
should have received their pay last Sat
urday for the month, but they will not
get it until tomorrow, as the board de-
cided that they would have to make up
the week. Instead of closing the last of
May, according to the original under
standing, the schools will be kept open
until June I'd. in order TO make the teach
ers work out the week lost. OF course
they will get paid for that week. but
they were obliged to pay their bOard-bills
here during the work of the storm, and
were not allowed a cent Of pay for that
time 1t is probable that an effort will be
made to have the board reconsider its ac-
] ton.
The Seventh Ward Democrats have
nominated Councilman Doherty for re-
| election. 1t is also stated that Council
man O'Donnen, of the Sixth Ward, and
