COLLARS AND CUFFS.
One Cent Laundry Frozen Out. Up Goes the
Price Again.

"This is terrible said young man
yesterday. Here summer time mas
come. I have to wear whole lot o.
collars and cuffs each week. and the 'one
/, Cent Collar and Cuff Laundry has ker-
fiummixed.'
This is so and the other three laundries
which, a few days. ago dropped to the
same figures from two and four cents ala
the deed, and now they Jump the prices
back to their old figures. In order to
keep the cut rate plant out of the field
these have agreed to pay the rent on the
building occupied by it until the lease
expires, and keep it shut down.
The one cent laundry has had hard
time. 1t started with three in the field
and located opposite the southeast corner
of Capitol Square. Some six or eight
times it caught on fire most mysterio-siy
and it was said that some one was try
ing to burn 1t down. The projectors sold
out, and On Saturday night the last pro-
prietor shut down the plant.
The other laundrymen here say that
collars and cuffs at one and two cents
are impossible. That it cost one and one
fourth cents to ''do up collar, and that,
at other places the charge is two and
for a pair of cuffs. They claim that
Raleigh has as low rates as any other
place.

OUR RED BOOK FOB 1898.
Official Correspondence. Covering the Period of
the Spanish War.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, June 19.-The American
red book for 1898, comprising the for
eign relations during the eventful Pc
riod of the Spanish American war has
just made it's appearance. 1t contains
an exhaustive summary of the official
correspondence. The Dupuy de LONE
incident and the blowing up of the
Maine are treated under separate
heads. The first official notification to
Spain that he United States expected
the independence of Cuba was in a
dispatch fro mSecretary Day to Min
lister Woodford, on March 2Sth, 1898.
The President had previously in
structed Mr. Woodford to endeavor to
have Spain grant Cuba full self gov
eminent with indemnity would mean
Cuban independence. 1t apears that
just before the war broke out Minister
Woodford sent word that the Queen
Regent, yielding to the request of the
Pope was about to decree termina-
ton fthe war in Cuba for a period of
six months. Mr.. Woodford hoped this
would avert crisis in the trouble be-
tween Spain and the United States, but
this hope was not realized and Con-
gress soon after adopted the resolu-
tions of Intervention. The peace ne
gotiations both in Washington and
Paris are given in extenso. When the
acquisition of the Philippines came up,
Secretary had cabled Mr.. Day, saying:
THE sentiment in the United States is
almost universal that the Philippines
whatever else is done, must be liber-
ated from Spanish domination. In this
sentiment the President fully concurs.
Nor can we permit Spain to transfer
ring of the islands to another power.
Nor can we invite another power pow
sers to DIN the United States in sover-
eighty on them. We must either hold
them or turn them back to Spain. Con-
sequently, grave as are the RESPONSE
bilities and unforeseen as are the diff
culties which are before us, the Pres
ident can see but one plain path of
duty, the acceptance of the archipela-
co.
Early in the war the State Depart
ment directed our Ambassador at Lon
don to discreetly SCUM dthe British
Government upon our war vessels us
ing the Suez canal. In reply it was
stated that the British Government
held that We were unquestionably enti-
tied to the use of the canal warships.
The declarations of neutrality by most
of the foreign governments, except
Germany, are given and as to Ger
many, Ambassador White gives a
conference with Baron Won Buelow in
which the latter says that Germany
has not for twenty years, issued a
proclamation of neutrality.

Deputy Byrum is After it on Claim and De-
livery.

Unless the deputy sheriff in Barton
township, Mr.. Byrum, has acted, Mr.
w. T. Rochelle is still in possession OF
one of Wake county's bridges that
fioated off during the freshet.
Clai mand delivery papers for the
bridge were sent to him yesterday, and
he was instructed to seize the bridge,
have it taken apart and the timbers
landed. 1t will, under the claim ana
delivery law have to remain for three
days to allow Mr.. Rochelle to give
bond for the amount adjudged as its
value If he wants to fight the matter in
the courts. If he surrenders his claim
then the county has the bridge.
This sensational suit began as a re-
suit of the recent freshet in which the
bridge over the Neuse at Lawrence
was washed away. 1t was caught by
Mr.. w. T. Rochelle, a farmer, living a
quarter of a mile down the river, who
claims it was floating timber.
The county authorities hold that Mr..
Rochelle is not entitled to the bridge,
and that it does not come under the
rule regarding floating timber. 1t is
a covered wooden bridge, ninety six
feet long and is securely pinned to-
gether. 1t was erected six feet above
the highest water ever before known
and was supposed to be one of the
most secure bridges in the county.
Mr. Rochelle refused to surrender
the bridge to the county and hence the
cult, claim and delivery for the
bridge being taken out by the County
Commissioners. Clerk of Court Russ
Issued this, and the outcome will be
awaited with interest, as it is not
known what Mr.. Rochelle may do

Is ii one or two tragedies?
Did the child come to it's death by
foul means or was it castaway?
Yesterday afternoon a number OF
young boys playing on the Insane Asy-
lum grounds, on the outskirts of Raleigh
made CHASTITY discovery.
In water furrow slightly covered with
dirt about $50 yards to the left OF the
main drive way on the Asylum grounds,
the boys found the dead body of child.
1t was a female infant, and one hand
showing above the dirt led to the dis
covery. The ground had lapely been
plowed for water furrow and in this
the body had been hidden. 1t is impos-
sible to say whether by the unnatural
mother or whether others were con-
cerned.
The police were notified and Chief
Mullins went over to the grounds and
made an investigation. The body was
removed and it was found from its con-
dition that the birth must have taken
place Tuesday night. On the body was
no clothing only a rag being about 1T.
The child was well developed.
