Raleigh, n. c., September 8.
The great council of Red Men OF
North Carolina met here in annual ses-
sion this morning, Walter L. Liddell, of
Charlotte, presiding. There is a large at
tendance. The most prominent visitor
is Great Incohonee Connolly, of Phila-
delphia- The order is strong here and
there is much preparation for the en-
tertainment of the great council.

The bureau of labor statistics will.
later in the year, publish a list Of cot

way to get accurate and complete fig

In May the new management OF pcnI-
Tertiary was quite confident it would
be necessary to receive in some way
d loan, or ar advance by the state, of
at least $50, 900 to tide it over this year,
but so far it has conducted operations
without having to borrow any money.
a large number of the convicts are
now employed on railways and it is the
intention to employ 200 more of them
in this way If possible.

A Fighter Who Doesn't Talk

= And all his time, while the men who
were not IN the naval engagement off
Santiago nave been throwing mud at a
man who was IN the thickest of it, here
is Captain Clark. who, in command OF
the Oregon, performed the most bril-
liant feat IN the entire connection, and
who has no. contributed to a maya
zine or talked for publication since
July, 1885, Like Capt Cook, OF the
Brooklyn, and Commander Wainwright,
Of the Gluoscester, Clark a been con-
tent with the consciousness Of duty
done. He has taken part in no choruses
or symposiumS. After the completion
Of his splendid service-the Brooklyn,
the oregon L the Gloucester were
the conspicuous factors in the Santiago
e~quation-he quietly disappeared from
public observation. No one has heard
Of him as s4uabbling over prize money
or belittkng a fellow-officer, or schem-
ing for notice or promotion. He was
a potent and commanding figure in the
tragedy. He left the tawdry afterplace
TO such as cared for little things.
The American people await with re-
spectful interest the appearance OF
Capt Clark before the court of inquiry
so soon to assemble. He is one or the
very few who have thus far had moth
ing to say, either directly or indirectly,
about that immortal Sd of July; who
made his reckoning with h enemy and
has been willing to leave his reputation
and his reconpense to history. To him
can be traced neither self-glorification
nor disparagement OF others. nor tnde-
cent eagerress for spoils. A warrior
always. but never a m~ountebank or a
jackal-never a ~slanderer. a mischief
maker, or a conspirator.Capt- Clark,

been consigned by the department oc-

THE CABINET UPHELD
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN THE
 THEoKoTIS MINISTRY.
The Premier Lays the Blame for the Recent Disorders in the Greece Capital Upon the
 Metropolitan.

Athens. Nov. 23.-The Greek Premier M Theokotis, taking part today Tn an exciting debate in the Chamber or pep uties oyer the recent dlsturpances par s ds,te nete to the translation of the gospels into modern Greek. quoted from certain let ters of the Holy Synod addresses 10 Queen Olga in 1899 in which the students reasons against the translation of the gospels were explained. The Premier blamed the Metropolitan of Athens. Pro- copius Oeconimidis, for the disturbances He said the Metropolitan, owing to the weakness of his character, had not the courage to support the Synod upon the occasion of the Metropolitan audience with the Queen.
 said her piety, Christian sentiments and nobility of character were the admiration of the whole world. During the war she was everywhere told by wounded soldiers that they could not read the gospels be- cause they did not understand the text. The Queen then arranged, continued the Premier for the publication of trans lation of the gospels into modern Greek, exclusively for family use.
 The recent disorders had been caused. the Premier explained, by the demonstra- tors assailing the troops with stones and air. That was proved by the wounds of the victims being from revolver and not from rifle bullets. Speaking of the dead, tears ran down the Premier's cheeks and the SllIlHS or Ine was SuSpcuu- ed for some minutes in order to allow him to regain his composure. The oppo- sition was led by M. pelyannis who ac- cused the ministry of weakness and of being responsible for murder Vast and noisy crowds surrounded the Chamber of Equities while the debate was going on. The troops. however. were disposed in force and over-awed the assemblage.
 F'The Chamber finally adopted resolu- tian approving the governments actior by a vote of 107 to ST.
 The Deputies at the close of the sit tngs were safely escorted from the building to their homes. The city is re- euming its normal aspect.

The first companies reached here about the lOth or February 1861; the others within few weeks. Three companies were raised in Barbour County commanded by Captain AIpheus Baker, John Clark and Jere Williams. Two from Pike: Captains Augustus owen and Dawson. One from Wilcox, Captain l. G.

GERMAN TARIFF BILL MEASURE AS PREPARED BY THE
 GOVERNMENT. It is Desired That the New Duties Become Effective By the
 First of the Next
 Year.

Berlin. Nov. 3.-The Governments preamble to the new tariff bill, issued to the members of the Reichstag today, sets forth the necessity of replacing the that shall not b. inferior to that1of any other country fin deiicacy of arrangement.
 Protective tariffs. it is added, have con tributed materially to the prosperity or or connection with this prosperity dis location in the distribution of the wage earning class of agricultural laborers, caused by the increase of the wages Of agricultural laborers, caused by the in- crease of the wages of the industrial classes, has resulted in an almost intol- erable increase in the working expenses of the agriculturalists.
 On the other hand, there has recently been a setback in the upward movement of German industry Whether this set back has reached its lowest ebb, or how long 1t will last, cannot be calculated to a certainty. In order to avert the dis astrous consequences which that dislo- cation will eventually have, not on agri- culturalists alone but on the whole com munity, the adoption of effective counter measures can no longer be delayed.
 One of the bills essential aims Is to place home agriculture in more faVor- able position by affording 1t such greater customs protection as will alleviate the disadvantages. The possibility of feed ing the people is being rendered more and more difficult, and this necessity cer- tainly imposes the obligation to exercise the greatest caution. Nevertheless. should 1t be found that this burden is laid on the consuming public, the burden must be borne in order that dangers far more serious to the State shall be avoid ed.
 Respecting commercial treaties with other countries, the Government is ready, after the tariff bill is disposed of, to en- ter in due course, into negotiations to these ends with those countries desiring to do so. The recasting of the tariff bill will not prevent the country from effect ing new commercial treaties. Neverthe- less, in view of the uncertainty of poll tics and of the commercial future, the tariff bill provides for more severe com pensatory measures.
 It is desired that the new tariff be- come effective January 1. 1902.
