Especial TO the Messenger }

Raleigh, y. c., December 21.-The
governor commuted the sentence of
John b. Price, of Beaufort county,
from a year in the penitentiary to $500
fine. Price was convicted at Newbern
and given a years sentence but Judge
Bryan said if he paid $500 he would re-
nit the other sentence. Price went
home after the money, but when he re-
turned with it the term of court had
ended and the judge could not alter the
sentence. so he recommended to the
governor to act. There were some sharp
protests against any clemency to Price,
but many prominent persons signed the
petition for him.
State Auditor Dixon today sent the
following important letter to all regis
ters of deeds:
Owing to very great demand for pen
sions this year, the pension board de-
cided that where a penSioner dies be-
fore his warrant reaches him the war
rant must be returned to this office for
cancellation in order that new warrants
may be issued to other soldiers equally
as deserving. If any of your pension
ers have died, return the warrants to
this office at once. Hitherto the pen
sion board has been willing to give to
the representatives of the persons who
die, warrants in order to pay burial ex-
penses, but, owing to the extreme pres
sure on the board this year. it makes
the above ruling"

POLITICS IN CUBA.
General Naso Withdraws from the
Presidential Contest.

Havana, December 21-The support
ers of General Maso in his candidacy
for the presidency of the republic have
decided to take no part in the coming
election, all the candidates of the party
having withdrawn. and the Maso men,
bers Of the provincial boards have been
requested to resign. These steps were
decided upon after the receipt of a letter
from Governor General Wood, refusing
to grant the party representation on the
board Of scrutiny or an extension of
time in which to modify the voting list
At a meeting of the party leaders a
resolution was adopted declaring that
the central board is a coalition of the
partisans and that General Maso, after
exhausting every means to insure i'm
partiality, rectitude and justice at the
coming election. has become convinced
that neither in official circles in the
United States nor in Cuba does the in
tention exist to see that the elections
are carried out with sufficient legality
to reflect the real wish of the Cubans,
who are desirous of independence and
anxious to freely elect their first consti-
tutional government"
1t was voted to inform Secretary Root
of the decision arrived at and also to
publish a manifesto to the country.
La Lucha records the withdrawal of
the Maso candidates and says that
without the guarantees asked form
Secretary Root, every one knows that
the election will be Justification of the
will of the majority. Besides having
the so-called conservatives with him,
Maso is said to have strong follow
ing among the blacks in the country
districts and 1T is intimated in Havana
tonight that this element may not take
kindly to the present condition of things
md NAV cause trouble. Maso conserv-
ative leaders, however, say they have
no fear.
The Palma organ, The Discussion,
asserts that the withdrawal OF Maso's
supporters is due to the fact that they
are a helpless minority and that their
candidates have no chance Of being
elected.

SECRETARY CAGES SUCCESSOR.
Governor Crane, OF Massachusetts,
Said TO he the Presidents Choice.

Washington. December 21.-While no
official confirmation can be obtained at
the White house. it is believed that
President Roosevelt has offered the
treasury portfolio to Governor Crane, of
Massachusetts and the latter now has
tha idea under advisement. One Of the
difficulties in the way of Governor
Cranes acceptance is understood to be
Eis connection with the paper company
It Dalton Mass. which furnishes the
paper for government notes. This paper
s prepared by a secret process and the
government contract with the Dali
ton COMPANY is a large one. Should
Governor Crane accept the treasury
portfolio it is considered probable that
he would dispose of mis- interest in the
Taper company.

nf Governor w. MURRAY Crane. today
confirmed the report from Washington
published today, stating that the COVER
Ior had been offered the treasury port

sidering the question with great thor
oughness and is inclined to accept the

Washington, December 21.-Both at
the White house and at the British
embassy an emphatic denial is made of
The published story of an assault al

CAPTAIN COOK DANGEROUSLY ILL
At the Naval Hospital in Washington
His Sons Summoned.

Washington, December 21.-Word
was received at the bureau of naviga-
ton today that Captain Francis A.
Cook, was lying dangerously i'll at the
naval hospital in this city. His condi-
tion was considered so critical that the

ship Illinois, at New Orleans, to come
to Washington Immediately. Another
OF Captain Cooks sons passed assistant
surgeon Frank c. Cook, is now at the

Richmond, Va, December 21-The
Richmond papers will, tomorrow, print
what are known as recently discovered
John Brown papers," which were
found in a lot of rubbish in the state
library. 1t cannot be said that they
throw any additional light on the John
Brown raid into Virginia, which re-
suited in his arrest and execution
There is not a scratch Of John Browns
classes, viz:
Letters from people to Brown and his
fellow-prisoners and letters from the
prisoners to persons throughout the
country. The prisoners never, it is sup
posed, saw the letters sent to them,
and the letters written were never mail
ed.
Those to Brown and his associates are
for the most part signed with initials
only, and no prominent persons can be
Identified with them. They are largely
from correspondents in New England,
Ohio and Indiana.
Two letters to Brown from his sister
and it is evident she had no conception
of the fate that was in store for him.
From marks on all the letters it is
shown that they were inspected by Mr.
Andrew Hunter, Of the prosecution, or
Governor Wise.
What value there is in the letters to
the prisoners, if any, lies in their show
ing the widespread sympathy through
the north with John Browns despera te
venture.
The letters from the prisoners tell
nothing.
Search is now being made for a car
pet-bag Of Browns, said to be hidden
In the roof Of the capitol building and
to contain his diary and some Of his
documents. Many, however, doubt the
existence Of such a historical treasure
trove".
Several letters in the upturned batch,
and written from the north. express
pleasure that Brown had been captured.
1t is not at all certain that some of the
letters have not been published before.
IL few cases the letters to Brown
and his band are written in red ink.

MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE
The Only Man in the British Cabinet
Who Could Sneak French.

The Only Man in the British Cabinet
WHO Could Speak French.
When the Marquis OF Lansdowne was
encouragement of Canada he had to
make a speech to the French Cana
dams, says M. A. p. With all its 10y
atty to the English connection, this
little bit of transported France adheres
very rigidly to many things French and
especially to the purity Of the French
tongue-at least as it was spoken in
the eighteenth century. Few viceroys
have ever yentured accordingly to
leave the safe security of the English
tongue, and it was with some trepida-
ton that the French-Canadians heard
that Lord Lansdowne was going to de-
liver a speech to them in their own
language. But he had scarcely uttered
the word "messieurs' when the whole
audience burst into cheers; they rec
ognized at once the accent of the true
French tongue. the accent only posi-
bic to a man Of French blood, and one
who had spoken French as his mother
tongue. 1t is perhaps this accomplish
ment which had something to do with
Lord Lansdowne's disappointment.
When some one demonstrated with
Lord Salisbury for retaining the two
Offices of prime minister and foreig
secretary, his reply was that he coul
not help himself, there was but one
member of his cabinet who could
speak French, and that was Lord
Lansdowne And now Lord Larsdowne
will receive the foreign ambassadors
every Wednesday afternoon. and what
ever else may be found fault with, his
French will be faultless. Lord Ians-
downe's mother was daughter of Gen.
Flahalt. one of Bonaparte's officers.--

Origin Of Easter Hats

TO neglect the putting on of some
entirely new article of dress on Eas-
ter Sunday was regarded by the Eng
lish of olden times as sure to bring bad
luck, and certainly this is one OF the
practices which has lost nothing with
the increase Of years. Only now it has
been slightly altered, SO that to have
no new clothes to exhibit at the Easter
parade is considered sufficiently bad
luck in itself, without the fear Of any
further misfortunes that may result
from it. After donning their new Eas-
ter garments the English country peo-
pie dined off tansy pudding and bacon
or tansy pudding and good red her
ring" the tansy being the symbol OF
the bitter herbs commanded to be
eaten at the Paschal feast.
