MEETING OF POPULIsr COMMIT
TIE,

A meeting of the Populist State
Executive Committee was held in this
Guy last week, with full attendance.
Senator Butler addressed the meeting'
The folio wing resolutions we're unan
imoueIg adopted:
''ResOLUed, Toat the chairman Of the
People, Parry State Committee be
authorized and directed TO call a State
convention of the Peoples Party to
ASSEMBLE in Raleigh on Wednesday.
April the Is h 1900 and in connection
WITH such call he invite the assembling
of a general conference of members of
the Peoole's Party or Tuesday night,
April IL, 1900, and that he be author
.z9I to tx end a cordial invitation on
behalf of the State committee to such
ctlzens Of the State to attend and ad-
dress said conference as may be de-
clded proper and advisable by him.
2. That while it does not come
wiEhin the eff ,ial prerogatives Of the
State committee to 81 direct, is is re-
commended that county conventions
called for electing delegates to the
State convention defer the nominations
of couoty and legislative tickets IN
til after the meeting of the State con-
vention.
8. That the letter recently written
by Hon. Marion Butler to Capt George
Wilcox, JncernIng the election Law
enacted by the General Assembly of
1899, and the franchise amendment to
the Constitution submitted by the
same body, is entitled to the most care
full and fullest consideration of all vot-
ers and citizens who favor political
liberty and popular government, and
that said letter is unquallhsdly COM
mended and endoIs9d; and that the
chairman OF the committee take i'm
mediate steps to eff the publication
and distribution of fifty thousand
copies of the same"
An address was issued denouncing
our present unjust election law and the
Constitutions al Amendment. The meet
ing was entnusIasGic and harmonious.

VentIon leads eff April 18th, PODulists

Information concerning this too much
neglected Industry. ae visited High
Point on the Southern railroad, in R Al
dOlph county, He found it to be the
foremost Of all our to wns in the making
of furniture The following extract
from Mr.. Bryant's letter will literally
''astonish the natives and make them
put on their wonder-cap He tells
what but comparatively few know,
and what was unknown in part to US:
"a visit to the High Point furniture
and wood working concerns would do
more than the state fair to inform one
as Il what the state is doing in that
line. The factories there make every
thing from q cradle to a o.f1n,~ literally
speaking. Concerns there also make
houses, ready to be put thgether in any
part of the state, When the house is
up and ready for occupancy, the facto
ries Of High POM Gao furnish it from
parlor to Kitchen. Every article Of
furniture needed to equip a tenant
mouse or a fine residence 10 to be had
there. 1t is all made from North Caro-
lima woods. In all there are twenty
concerns. They work over 1000 hands
and sell over 81 355 600 worth OF goods

SWEEPING denial
State Department Replies to
House Resolution
Relating to Charges Made by
CunSul Macrum.
NEVER HEARD OF 1T.
Didn't Know That His Dis
patches We're Being Opened.
Charge of Secret Alliance De-
clared to Be Untrue.

Washington, Feb. 21-The answer OF
the state department to the house reso~
luton calling for information regarding
certain charges made by the late Con-
sui Macrum was transmitted to the
house today by the president It is
signed by Secretary Hay and after re-
citing the resolution says:
Answering the first part of the reso-
luton: The department of state has
been in regular communication by mail
and telegraph with Charles E. Macrums
late consul of the United States at Pre-
toria, South African republic, since his
entrance upon the duties of the Office.
Communications made to him have
been answered and the execution of in
structions sent has been reported by
him. His dispatches to the depart
ment forwarded through the consulate
at LourenZo Marquee have during that
time been regularly received. The only
instance of complaint in respect to the
transit of the mails for LourenZO Mar
Quez and Pretoria, was in November
last when a temporary stoppage of the
mails occurred at Cape Town, against
which Mr.. Macrum and the consul at
LOurenzo Marquee protested Arrange
mentS were made for the prompt de-
livery of the consular mails to the Unit
ed States consul general at Cape Town
by whom the mail for Mr. Hollis and
Mr.. Macrum was forwarded to oLourenZo
MarqueZ. The delay lasted but a few
days and has not required so far as
the department is advised. After that
time the departments mail for Lorenzo
Marquee and Pretoria was sent by a
neutral route, which it appears was
known and open to Mr.. Macrum and
Mr.. Hollis as early as November 16
last. No obstacle therefore Is here
known to have existed since then to Mr..
Macrum'S unhampered correspondence
with the department of state. At no
time while at his post did Mr.. Macrum
report to the department of any ins
stance of violation by opening or other
wise of his official mail by the British
censor at Durham, or by any person, or
persons whatsoever, there or elsewhere.
Neither has he so reported since he left
| Pretoria although having the amplest
| opportunity to do so by mail, while on
| the way home and in person when he
reported to the department upon his
return
Answering the second part of the
| aforesaid resolution the undersigned
secretary of state has the honor to say
| that there is no truth in the charge that
a secret alliance exists between the re-
public of the United States and the en-
pire of Great Britain; that no form OF
| secret alliance is possible under the
constitution of the United States mas
much as treaties require the advice ana
| consent of the senate; and finally, that
no secret alliance, convention, arrange
ment or understanding exists between
| the United States and any other ma
| ton. (Signed), JOHN HAY,
Department of State. Feb. 90 1900.

CITY COUNCIL JOTTINGS.
Disposition of Small Matters at Last
Nights Meeting.

The council will meet again next
Monday evening, and at that time the
method of heating the new auditorium
will be decided. The contractors say
that it will be necessary for them to
know this in the immediate future, as
they wish to make arrangements to
put in the steam pipes, and it will
make a difference whether the build
ing is heated by the Edison company
or by a heating plant of it's own.
The park levy ordinance was recon-
sidered at the meeting of the council
last evening and changed in accordance
with the ideas of the park board, so
that the levy applies only to the pres
ent and gives the board the authority
to use the money for any park purpose,
as prescribed in the ordinance creating
the board.
Sarah ]. Bowers, through her attor-
neys, Troutman & Stone, presented a
claim against the city for 81, ,S54 for in
juries which she claims she sustained
by falling on a defective sidewalk on
East Fourth street last November. The
matter was referred to the committee
on claims.
A resolution, introduced by Council
man Blossom, was passed, inStructing
the city engineer to draw plans for a
benefit district consisting of all that
part of North Topeka west of Tyler
street, for the purpose of straighten-
ing certain streets and alleys, to widen
certain streets, to remove Instructions,
and TO rename some of the streets.
Another resolution was passed in
structing City Attorney Bird to draw up
an ordinance requiring house movers to
get a permit from the fire marshal,
countersigned by the city engineer, be-
fore moving a house. City Engineer
Wise explained that many times the
movers simply got their permit from
| the fire marshal and then went ahead
tearing up walks and injuring the
paved streets, and the engineer does
not know who is responsible for it.
| The new ordinance will give the engi-
neer a chance to fix the responsibility,
and require the walks and streets to
! be repaired.
