lNolClSh, ~. 49, AdS0S L
The Raleigh company of the state
guard, which was last evening ordered
to go to Smithfield, but was recalled
when it reached the railway station
here, remained in the armory all
night and was on waiting orders to-
day. Little groups of the soldiers
were on the street in front of the
armory.
The order for the troops was a silly
piece of business-silly politics on the
part of the republican editor, Parker
of Smithfield, who asked for them, and
silly On Governor Russell's part. The
whole thing played into democratic
hands. 1t was a false step of the mos,
pronounced kind
At democratic headquarters to-day
everything was very quiet. Chairman
Simmons was receiving news of the
outlook, all of which was good. F.. 8.
Spruill came in with good news from
Caldwell county, saying it Will give a
good democratic majority. The demo-
Gratis will carry the Iredell senatorial
district, which it was feared they
would lose. Mcdowell county will rive

Senator Butler is here. He actually
rides in a carriage at night the one
block between his hotel and his head
quarters. No One save his followers
notices him. Bets are made that he
will not vote tomorrow. Feeling
against him is high. There vas a good

Heigho. We thought Cy. Thomp-
sons letter was highly indiscreet but
mighty good for the white folks Sure
enough, it proves to be and the ribald
radicals are "cussing'' him out "for
his most unfortunate revelations"
The News and Observer says:
"~Fusionists o mad when you men
ton DR.. Comedown Thompson's letter
announcing his withdrawal from the
race for governor. 1t was a SORT of last
will and testament that has done
them infinite harm.
1T has done more to disorganize us
and play hell in u camp generally
than anything that has happened since
the Winston registrar boomerang
said a f%usionist Sunday night. DR..
Thompson may have intended it as a
love lick, but it was a brick bat that
has struck us plump in the pit Of the
stomach and doubled us up"
1t looks from that that Cy. is regu-
lar 'shy-stir."

Looking Up Anarchists in a merica

Washington, August 1.-The possible
connection between Bressi, the Italian
M .derer of King Humbert. and the
: wv Jersey group of anarchists, which
+ : been suggested since the assasSina-
Ion of the king, has moved this gov
to take measures TO inveSti-
gate the anarchists situation in and
around New York. The matter has
not been officially brought to the at
tention of this government by Italy,
but the published facts in the case have
induced the federal authorities to start
a quiet investigation. Just what steps
have been taken is not made public,
but it was admitted at the state de-
partment that this government was
taking such measures as it deemed
proper in the premises"
This is not only an act of courtesy
to the friendly government of Italy,
but has a bearing on the possibility OF
similar outbreaks in the future from
the same source.

WOULD SAVE TIE HOUSE

DIR. Wood reported to the Board of
Health, at last session, on the house in
which the latest plague victim died.
1t was new house and the president
of the Board gave reasons for believ-
ing it could be disinfected without be-
ing destroyed. Although dying in the
house the man had spent most Of his
illness in small building some dis
lance away. John F. Colburn is owner
of the house, which as before stated is
in Young street. After transacting
other business the Board went In a
body to the place. 1t decided there to
burn the small building and closets,
leaving the decision on the main cot
tage for today's meeting.
The Board approved bills as below,
although DR.. Wood thought too much
was being saddled on the plague sup
preston funds: Paia plantation, S1S7.
so for sending the steamer Lehua to
Honolulu with report of plague at IA
hului; scow and wharf for shipping
garbage to sea, 1897; three bills from
as many Hilo doctors for post norton
in Mrs. Serrao's body, only one allow
ed, S25.
DR.. Wood again brought up the mat
ter Of killing rats. 1t looked as IL
they were the cause of new cases of
the plague. To DR.. Emerson's sugges-
ton of sending mongooses after the
rats the president replied that there
might be danger of the mongooses
catching and carrying infection. He
thought 1t would be worth while to
employ a professional rat-catcher. even
If they had TO send away for such a
functionary. No decision was reached.
