An interesting question has recently
been raised in the navy department
and the comptroller for the treasury
has been called upon to decide the
same. officers of the navy are unde-
cided whether, under the naval person
mel act, they are still allowed the priv
ilege of having enlisted men of the

long letter. in which he argues that
there is nothing in the act which pro-
hibits such service being accepted from
enlisted men. The subject has not yet

One of the Midway Islands visited
by the United States expedition maxi
ing surveys for the Pacific cable, is
described as inhabited by an almost
incredible number of sea birds. Upon
fully one-half OF the surface of the
island the sand was literally covered
with them. II the noise of the wing
ed lost astonished the visitors. a few
landlords were mingled here and
there among them. The picture of
abundant bird life will attract the no

Interesting and important expert
ments are now being conducted by one
of the largest manufacturing corpora
tons in the country to demonstrate the
feasibility and advantage of prOpelling
n ship through power derived from gas
engines supplied by gas generated on
the vessel itself. Thus the coal, in
stead of being consumed under the boil
ers to make steam, would be roasted in
retorts aboard ship to drive off the gas
which would supply the engines. The
coke thus produced, it is estimated,
woul furnish all the fuel needed 10
roast the coal.
The purpose of the experiment is to
ascertain whether the weight of the
gas-producing plant and gas consum-
ing engines are so much less than the
ordinary plant of steam boilers and en-
gines and the saving of space sufficient
to warrant the adoption of the new
system.

1t is not always possible to account
for the fluctuations in the world of
finance. Not long ago, without any
apparent cause, the stringency of the
foreign money market was SO great
that there was danger of disaster to
some of the largest moneyed institu-
lions of Europe. But as suddenly as
the danger threatened, it disappeared
n the rate of interest was lowered in
Great Britain, France n Germany.
These changes were inexplicable, but
for the time being the American gold
balance was drawn upon, and in fact
the outward flow of gold has not en-
tirely ceased yet. But this country is
in a financial condition to sustain any
drafts hat Europe may make upon it..

but are comparatively less fatal thar

CRAVEN COUNTY REPUBLICANS.
The County Convention Controlled by the Negro
Delegates
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Newbern, n. c., April 27.-The Craven
county Republican convention has just
adjourned subject to call of the chairman
after naming delegates to various con-
vention. 1t was very tame affair. as
all boss ridden, cut and dried conventions
must be. The white leaders, with the
help of the presence of the colored dis
trict boss Abe Middleton, of Duplin coun-
ty. we're able to send white delegates to
all conventions except that A. A. Bryan
coIored the present chairman of the
Third Congressional district. was sent as
delegate to the Congressional convention
This was possible by reason of the rule
of two delegates to each convention,
otherwise there would not have been
enough white Republicans, to make up
the delegation.
There were just IS white delegates in
the county convention out of As. Twenty
four delegates were not present; Il of
them not having been named
When word went out that no negroes
were to be recognized, precincts, repre-
senting townships out of seven country
townships and one precinct in the city of
Newbern, held no meetings.
Robert Hancock father and clerk of
Newbern's post master, and John Bddle,
"ex-revenuer" and chairman of the Board
Of County Commissioners. were sent as
delegates to the State convention both
being nominated by negroes-who de-
clared in the convention two years ago
that: 1--WE does the votin' and we are
going to hold the offices.
The motion for recess was significant
in it's statement that the purpose was
to- take no action in county matters until
it was seen what the State convention
Would do. and so the negro still holds the
rover to name his own county officers,
and he will do it, unless he is made to
realize that it's useless.
There were fifteen white spectators and
about fifteen negroes present.

Especial to News and Observer
Goldsboro n c., April 27-Hon Donnel
Gillian, of Tarboro, delivered an able
speech to large crowd-both ladies and
gentlemen-in the opera house here last

He was introduced by Chairman
O'Berry. He began by contrasting the
defiant attitude of the Republicans two
years ago with the present weak disor-
gained and inactive condition of their
party. Continuing he said, Congressman
White, the star of the Republican party,
has invited the race issue, We have ac
cepted it. White men, which side are
you on, with your race or against it? If
you cannot decide, ask your wife, if you
are not married don't ask your sweetheart
because you will insult her.
The Republican party has only been
in power two short periods in the history
OF North Carolina, and each time their
infamy has been so keenly felt, by the
white people that they had been hurled
from power by the wrath of an indignant
and outraged people,
He argued the constitutonalty of the
amendment, and showed that the inlet
tered white man was better qualified to
exercise his suffrage wisely than the
most cultured negro. In conclusion he
said that Edgecombe will double the ma
jority given the Democratic party last
election if Wayne will do likewise.
This was the opening speech for the
battle of White Supremacy in Wayne. The
people are determined to win.
