SALISBURY TO EXPLAIN.
THE wARLIKE BOARDING OF Al
AMERICAN OHIP
An Alleged Abuse Of the Iutrrna.
Wsrship Wnsp Within sh- hr e.
Mile Limit Of Portus mese Territory
In East Afrlca-The state ncunrt.
ment PrOtesas.

London. May 3.-6:09 p. NIT has
been learned by a representative Of the
Associated Press that United States
Salisbury for explanations as to the
alleged abuse of international right in
the case of the American ship Sea
Witch, which, according to the state
ment of her commander, Captain Howe.
was boarded by the British warship
Wasp within the three mile limit Of
Portuguese territory in East Africa.
The American ship Sea Witch left
Walloroo December Sd and arrived at
Delagoa Bay February 18th. She sail
ed March 4th for Port Natal Durbam
and arrived there March 9Th.
The American Ambassadors commu-
nication to the Premier hardly amounts
to a protest and serious complications
are not likely to enSue. The case as
transmitted by Secretary Hay to Lon
don consists of the captains allegation
that while the Sea Witch was off Della
goa Bay he signalled to the Wasp,
which was patrOllng. and the Wasp
sent boat to her. The captain Of the
Sea Witch complains that the visit re-
sembled a warlike boarding party and
against his will when palpably within
neutral waters. If the latter statement
is true a serious offense has been COM
mitted by the Wasp, which will call
for an ample apology from Great Brit
ain. But it is pointed out that the fact
that the Sea Witch signaHed the Wasp
before the Warship noticed her, invests
the case with u curious uncertainty.
Apparently both Mr. Choate and Lord
Salisbury are inclined to believe that
there is some mistake, perhaps on both
sides. The Premier has referred the
matter to the Admiralty which has no
record of the occurrence. but has cabled
to South Africa for the Wasp's version
Of the affair, and it is possible that
some time may elapse before the Brit
ish reply is ready.
Meantime, the incident does not in
terfere in the slightest with the diplo-
matte cordiality existing between the
representatives of the two nations in
tereSted.
Washington, May 3.-Inquiry at the
State Department confirms the London
statements as to the nature of the aC-
ton taken by the State Department
relative to the boarding of the Sea
Witch. Several weeks ago the depart
ment had it's first news of this affair
in the shape Of a report by cable from
the United States consul at Delagoa
Bay, Mr.. Hollis, who mentioned the
facts briefly. His statement was for
Warded to Ambassador ChOate at Lon
con in order that he might direct the
attention of the British Government to
the matter. Officials here say 1t has
never been claimed by the British Gov
ernment that its warships had the
right of search in Portuguese waters
and it was felt that in this case, as in
many others. the issue was only one of
fact respecting Tie actual distance of
the vessels from the Portuguese shore.
If it should appear that the Sea Witch
was within the three mile limit, ac-
Curding to the state Department. then
the explanation would be in order:
otherwise tie British vessel was with
in her rights III boarding.

Texas will send Joseph w. Bailey

Texas will send Joseph w. Bailey
to the United States Senate and Texas
and the country are to be congratu-

that the handsome young Texan Con-

This writer saw Bailey sworn in as
member of his first Congress in Decem-

he was the handsomest man he had

mind since. There was strength and
nobility about the young face which
instantly proclaimed its owner one of

CAMPAIGN SONG SUGGESTED.
The Idea a Good One and the Gold
Leaf Submits One.

Writing to the News and Observer,
Mr.. G. L. Blacknall, Of Kittrell, sug-
gests that we have campaign song
one to be sung at conventions, speak
ings, club meetings, etc. The idea is
As Mr.. Blacknall says:
Nothing in q patriotic gathering Gre
ates more enthusiasm than q patriotic
sOng-well sung. 1t brings out the good
feelings, lines up the straggiers, SIN moOthes
ont the wrinkles in face and faction, and
makes one almost think that his oppo-

Carolina. Carolina. heavens blessings
While we live we will CHERISH protect
and defend her;
Though the scorner may sneer at and
witlings defame her,
Our heaits swell with gladness whenever
we name her.
HurIah Hurrah. the Old North State
forever!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North
State!'
And certainly the Democratic party
has II prior claim to the song, for doesn't
the Old North State in her distress al
ways turn, and not in vain, to the Demo-
cratic party to cherish, protect and de-
fend her?
To our mind Judge Gaston's noble
lines are among the sweetest that
were ever sung, and no true son of
North Carolina ever hears them with
out feeling his bosom swell with patri-
otic pride. They ought to be sung
more frequently-in our schools and
entertainments, at public gatherings,
around the iireside in our homes.
Yet this impresses us as partaking
more the nature Of 4 national anthem,
a patriotic State hymn, than a cam
paign song-a rallying battle cry as
it were.
With this idea in mind and believ-
ing the suggestion of Mr.. Blacknall a
good one the GOLD LEAF has pleasure
in submitting as a stirring and eff
fective campaign song the following
lines written by talented Henderson
lady. A reading will reveal their
beauty and appropriateness:

SAYS the Mauch Chunk Democrat:
1T is good policy always to have
nothing to do with anybody or any
scheme that pretends to give some
thing for nothing. Nobody is in bus
mess for the fun of it and nobody is
apt to give the profits of his business
to somebody else. If this were gen.
orally realized there would be no
Franklin Syndicates, Investors Trusts,
ETC., and no dupes of them. One dol
lar in your pocket is worth two in
somebody else's."

The Fish Commission.

To the Editor: The bill appropriating
$12 500 for the establishment of United
States Fish Commission station at some
point on the North Carolina coast has
been signed by the President The sta
tion will be similar though on a smaller
scale, to the well known one at Woods
Hole, Mass, and will consist of a labora
tory designed for the prosecution of in
vestigations in marine biology, together
with the necessary smaller buildings,
such as power house, boat house, etc.
The site for this station has not been
selected. Suitable places are Beaufort,
Morehead Wrightsvile and Southport.
The temporary laboratory now organized
at Beaufort has proved useful. During
the coming season tables will be occupied
by naturalists from various institutions,
among which may be mentioned the Johns
Hopkins University, Columbia University
University of Georgia, Trinity College and
University of North Carolina. 1t is to be
expected that the permanent laboratory,
offering as it will ample facilities for in
vestigation, will exert upon biological
studies in this part OF the country the
same beneficial influence that has resulted
from the operation of the Woods Hole
as control point for the study of prob
lens concerning the faura of the North
ern shore.
The North Carolina station is likewise
regarded by the commission as a head
quarters from which to study the natural
history of the South Atlantic coast. For
the selection Of North Carolina we are
indebted in the first place to the work OF
the marine laboratory of the Johns Hop
kins University, stationed at Beaufort
under the direction of Professor Brooks,
from 1880 or for a considerable number Of
years. AS a result of the work of this
laboratory, the interesting and valuable
character of the marine faura of our
coast became widely known. And it was
thus possible to get the hearty endorse
ment of naturalists and college presidents
from many parts of the country, where the
agitation for the laboratory which has
just been provided for by Congress, was
begun. As the director of the laboratory
and one of the many naturalists interested
in its foundation, | may be permitted to
say that the movement originated in the
active work of our State Geologist, Pro-
fessor j. A. Holmes, who threw himself
into the project with his accustomed en-
ergy.
Senator Marion Butler, who kindly con-
sented to look after the matter in Con-
gress, introduced and secured the pas
sage of the bill in the Senate. To Senator
Buffers zeal and interest we are largely
indebted for the ultimate success of the
plan.
In the House, Hon. John H. Small was
kind enough to assume charge of the mea
sure. Although meeting at first with OPP
position from influential quarters, Repre-
sentative Small succeeded in passing the
bill without dissent. To those who are
familiar with the opposition which meets
any measure appropriating public money
for scientific investigation, no matter how
valuable from the economic standpoint,
the results of such investigation may be,
it is plain that we owe to these gentle
men debt of sincere gratitude.

Washington. D. c., June 16.-The Re-
selection of a running mate for McKin-
ley. In the best informed circle here
the statement is made that Roosevelt will
be nominated in spite of his reported
declaration that he will not accept the
nomination. They point to the fact that
Roosevelt is strict party man, and that
he has never failed to respond to his
party's call, and they say that if the
convention at Philadelphia dominates the
New York Governor by reclamation he
cannot afford to decline. 1t was said
today that the chief reason for Roose-
velt's declining the nomination in adj
vance is because he does not believe Nc
Kinley can be reelected; and that If he
should take the nomination for vice.
president and be defeated it would XIII
him off for 1904. But be that as it may,
the belief is prevalent here that Roose-
welt will be nominated. However, many
things will take place between now and
next Tuesday, and it's possible that the
New York delegation will settle on Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff who, | under
stand, has quite number of delegates
pledged to him Certain it is that the
President is anxious for an Eastern man
on the ticket, and he prefers one from
New York. But there will be a number
of gentlemen whose names will be pre-
scented for vice-president and several co n
plimentary votes will be cast. / am told
that Senator Pritchard's name will be
presented to the convention. 1t seems
to me that this is an appropriate time
when Southern man might be nonina
ted for the high office of vice-president.
Perhaps, if Pritchard had several big
barrels of Doodle he could capture the
nomination.
1t was said today that Holton will be
named TO succeed Judge Ewart and that
Adams will succeed Holton. The change
will not take place until after the August
