|BDKIAG AGAINST LEADERS

Tbsre 10 an open rupture in the Demo-
cratic party. IL 10 kenney against
Handy, and the Honorable Richard r.
Kenney has commented active opera
tiops by carrying the war into Africa."
The present fght will absorb attention
among Democrats during the next few
months. Kenney is in open conflict with
the former Congressman. This is the
key 10 which all the craftiness OF the
Dover Senator will be Set from now until
the campaign of 1900 clos,s.
The breach, 30 long threatened; aggra-
vated by sundry summer bay shore
meetings; and, hastened by Colonel Will
liam j. BryaD's visit to this State last
week under Mr.. Handy's personal guild
ance, was declared open by Kenney him
self. The Senator is man of disrepute
in his own party, yet few straeglers
remain, in awful contrast to the glitter
ing cohorts " hich f1ocked to his support
in 1897. OF these stragglers the most
important one in this city heretofore has
been the Senator's private secretary,
General Garrett j. Hart. He has been
deposed. A more crafty politician was
needed. Courtland 9. Montgomery now
represents Kenney in this city. Through
Montgomery's agency an effort is being
made to organize definite opposition to
Mr.. Handy. The Young Mems Demo.
cratic Club is known to WELD great
influence in the party. Kenney has set
to work to poison the minds of its mem
bers against Handy,
Kenney knows he is dead one. He
is also aware of the fact that his enemy,
Mr.. Handy, Is very live one. With
sulky bitterness he viewed Handy's triI
of triumph with Bryan. to Smyrna and
this city last Friday. But the Senator
was not idle. Ex-Recorder of Deeds
Montgomery seized the opportunity pre-.
senied by Handy's alleged ''corner" in
tickets for the Wilmington meeting. The
ex recorder spread the news He vouche6
for its truthfulness. Montgomery made
a lucky strike and Kehney 'patted hit
lieutenant on tie back.
The fret ground, convenient for battle
against Handy. will be reached wher
bhe State Convention meets to selec
delegates to the National Convention
Kennev proposes to measure strength a
that time. Mr.. Handy's friends laugh a
the prospective outcome,so confident arr
they that nothing can prevent the for
mer Congressman from leading the dele
cation to the National Convention.
Handy's following is aware of Sena
tor Kenney's activity and the effort o
Montgomery to buck against the ex
Congressman leadership. They sa,
Montgomery will be taken care of. The.
believe him harmless. However he sue
ceeded in creating little stir last week
and his possibilities are not being over
looked.

London, Jan 2S.--The Interpretation
that the departure of the Japanese war;
ship Shikishlma, just built in England,
was directly due to the situation in China
is incorrect, as the date set for the sail
ing was decided on many weeks ago, and
Il farewell party was held on board OF
her previous TO the deposition of the en-
pcror of China. But though this incident
was given exaggerated importance in the
newspapers those in England most cog
infant of the secret aims of Japan, espe-
ciaIly those who are fulfilling her naval
contracts, have for some time past thor
oughly believed she meditated striking a
blow at Russia. If this impression is
correct, and there il the highest and
most conservative authority on which to
base it, il is not unlikely that Japan's
hands may be forced and that her intend
ed coup will be attempted before her
plans are completed. 1t may be that Ja-
pan only meditates for the present a
demonstration to prevent Russia from ac-
complishing the designs which various
correspondents have credited her with
since the change in China's emperor.
Two powerful war vessels built for Ja-
nan on the Clyde will soon be ready to

not attracted much attention, but their
| Importance as national factors can be

Englands greatest shipbuiders, who de-
clared the vessels building for Japan
were the most powerful in the world and
could destroy the best British ships in ].
minutes. Several of Japan's vessels in
course of construction would have been
completed before now had not Japan en-
countered financial difficulties.
The British builders would not let the
vessels sail until everything was paid fol

She fired and the man dropped. The

and Mrs. Crane rushed up and placed
the revolver against his breast and
fired again. He fell back into the

TO CURE PEAVINES.

The ENQUIRER has been requested to
reproduce the plan that Mr.. L. R. Self,
Of Lincolnton,' laid down last year for
curing peavines. Mr.. Self's method ar
reused some interest last year; but un-
fortunately the peavine crop was so
small as to admit Of but few expert
ments. Here is the way Mr.. Self ex-
planned his plan to THE ENQUIRER:
my method Of curing the peavines
Is to allow them to yellow up some two
or three feet from the roots, and to
allow some Of the pods to ripen. I be-
gin cutting in the morning after the
dew is off, and next day, at noon, II
there has been no rain in the mean
time, I begin raking, hauling and pack
ing in rail pens, ten feet or such a mat
ter square, and five, six, seven or eight
feet high. The size Of the pens is alto
gether a matter Of convenience. pack
the vines down as tightly as a heavy
weight man we'll can, being especially
careful to secure all possible compact
ness around the edges. The proper
quantity for a pen is eight or ten z
horse loads Let the top Of the pen be
covered with a good waterproof of
hay, extending over the rails. 1t Is i'm
nortant that no water be allowed to
come in from the top.
"Within three to five days pen OF
peavines so put up will begin to smoke
like a small volcano, and 1t Is just at
this time that most persons will be
tempted to throw it down in order to let
the air circulate through 1t. Do moth
ing of the kind; for it will surely ruin
the hay. Just let the pen smoke al II
wants to. There is no danger of fire.
At least this has been my experience.
I have been pursuing this plan for
three years and have not had case
of spontaneous combustion yet. Last
year I filled my barn full of peavine
hay, and the result was just as satis-
factory as If the vines had been IN
pens.
"Cut the vines before the leaves be-
gin to crumble, get them up without
rain or dew, pack them tight and al
low no water to leak on them.
"This Is my plan. I have been pur-
suing it for three years, and am TO-DAY
feeding as fine pea hay as Is to be
found in the world.
