C. M. COOK MAKES A VIGOROUS SPEECH
FOR THE DEFENCE.
CARRIES THE WAR INTO AFRICA
He Attacks the Democratic Managers
n Their Leading Counsel-Charoes
craftsmanship as the Moving Cause of
d Prosecution-Mr. Bushels Force-
full Legal Argument for the Prosecu-
tton-The Defence Confident of an
AcquIttal.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Raleigh. N. c., March 22.-At today's
session of the court of Impeachment
w. a. Guthrie concluded his argument
against the judges, and c. NJ. Cook for
the defense consumed the remainder
of the morning session
Mr.. Cooks speech was the first lively
argument yet heard and he stirred the
senate n the galleries. He criticised
every individual member of the board
OF managers, raked the counsel for the
prosecution fore and aft n fired hot
shot into Judge Clark. He said Sim
mons. Pou and Ward had got a manda-
mus in the case of Gardner VS.. Worth
and would have got the money out of
the treasury if the supreme court had
not stopped them. He referred to criti-
cisms of the counsel for appearing for
the respondents and said anage Al
len of the board of managers had no
right to criticise, reminding Mr.. Allen
that when Governor Vance wanted a
great chief justice for the supreme
court he chose w. N. H. Smith. chief
counsel for Governor Holden in the
Impeachment proceedings.
Mr.. Cook said the supreme court and
its decisions along the line of the case
of Hoke VS.. Henderson were all Ugh in
1896 when the republican court was
holding democrats in office, but all
wrong in 1899 when the same decisions
kept republicans in. He secuted the
idea that the judges were trying to
dodge behind the clerk of the court and
declared they assumed all responsible
ity for their act and would not furth-
er insist on that point being
He ridiculed Cyrus L. Watson, attorney
for the managers; excoriated NJ. Guth-
RE, the managers chief counsel, for
leading populist forces in 1851 and
now d%enOuncing the very men he elect
ed to office.
Charles NJ. Busbee, for the prosecu-
ton, consumed the afternoon session.
He made the most cOgent, compact n
logical speech yet delivered, a strictly
legal argument, bearing on the regular
ity OF the record in the supreme court
in the argued case of White VS.. Audi
tor and Judge ~rbu judgment in
the court below; also on the question
of intent On the part of the judges. He
said intent, by all rules of law, was
judged by the act; that the constitu-
ton, not the, judges, was on trial; that
if the judges action was endorsed the
state and county treasures would be
open to mandamus writs from superior
court judges on argued cases all over
the state.
The senators are becoming very tired.
Not half the seats were occupied by
senators today, though the speeches
were the liveliest yet made Mr.. Lind
cey Patterson, for the defense, speaks
tomorrow, to be followed by Theodore
F. Davidson for the prosecution.
1t is alleged tonight that the judges
are practically sure of a majority; that
it is known what senators favor as
quittal and that great pressure is be-
ing brought to bear to induce a change
of views.

III Aw ALPS FARM ING PROSPECTS
Encouraging Report of Special Agent
to the Federal Agricultural Depart
ment.

Washington, March 22.-The agricul-
tural department will have in print
500 a valuable report on the agricul-
tural and horticultural aspects of the
Hawaiian islands, which was made by
Professor William G. Stubs, director
of h Louisiana experiment station,
who was e to the islands by the de-
partment to investigate the advisa-
bility of establishing an experiment
station there. DR.. Stubs says that
owing to h unusually favorable con-
ditionS, sugar making is not only the
leading agricultural occupation, but is
the principal industry of the islands.
AT present this industry Is in a very
prosperous condition, but other agri-
cultural industries are either not we'll
developed OF are not in a profitable
condition. He found that coffee grow
ing is diminishing and the other large
agricultural crop, rice. is now grown
on upto-date principles. Stock raising
is conducted to some extent, but there
is need of improved stock and better
pasturage. Dairying as IN adjunct to
agriculture is almost unknown, and
dairy products exceedingly expensive
Little has been one IN the islands III
the way of vegetable and fruit growing
for marketing purposes, except with
bananas and pineapples. The little that
has been attempted shows that almost
every kind of fruit n vegetable may
be grown somewhere lpon the islands.

RuSsia's Firm Hold on Manchurfa.

800
In such a situation as has develop
ed in Manchuria more OIL less friction
between Russia and other powers must
be expected. The clash at Tien Tsin,
where British and Russian troops have
been brought face to face in the dis
pute oyer the possession of a railway
siding, is typical of the collisions which
ma yarise from h present strained
relations. This particular incident
doubtless will be tided owed by the US
ual of polite diplomacy, but
whever British and Russian interests
come into conflict a sharp disagreement
of some sort is likely. Wherever, also,
Japan sees a chance to square accounts
with Russia either by opposing it's pro-
,gress in Manchuria or by taking the
aggressive in Korea. it may be expect
ed to make use Of the opportunity.
Up to the present, however, place in
the far east has been safeguarded by
certain larger considerations which
seem to make it ~inexpedient for any
single power to force action. However
the otehr power may desire the with
drawal of Russia from aMnchuria, ap-
parently onely one-Japan-is in a po-
| sition Or in the mood to undertake the
task of forcing its withdrawal. The
United States will not be inclined to
carry it's support of the '~open-door''
| policy to the point of fighting. 1t is
highly improbable that either Great
Britain or Germany would find it to
its interest TO interfere by force wen
| should japan take the initiative. Eth
er power, especially by uniting with ia
PAN, would be a serious menace to Rus
STA in eastern waters, but it is alsc
| equally probable that if it should join
with Japan France would enter the
| arena in the role of an ally to the Mus
covite power. A Franco-Russian com
| bination would be difficult to deal with
| Great Britain, in particular, while il
could drive Russia's ships from the Pa.
| ciflc, would assume an m bur.
den if it undertook such a war while
still weakened by the heavy drain;
made upon it's treasury by the Soutl
African conflict.
1t is apparently lift for Japan to de
termine whether. in the event Of a wa
with Russia, there are fair chances O.
Inning the action to the two powers
1t is believed by many competent judge:
that tt the present time the mikado
naval force is sufficient to cop will
anything that Russia can place in Pa
cifc waters. Having whipped Russi;
in the Pacifi,- however, and seizei
Korea, Japan would still have a diff
cult task to sustain its new possession
on the Asiatic mainland, even If Francs
did not come to the assistance OF II

Intimated His Intention to Resign If
Virginia Seeded.

Hon. Joseph T. LawIess, secretary of
The Commonwealth, has recently found
among the executive papers of the state
for the year 1861 a letter from General
George H. Thomas, of Southampton
county, the celebrated Union soldier, to
Governor John Letcher, in which he
clearly intimated his intention to resign
from the army in case Virginia seeded.
Virginia seeded less than six weeks
after the letter was written. But Gen
eral Thomas remained in the Union
army and ecam one Of the most dis
tinguished officers of the war.
1t has long been denied that such a
letter was ever written. 1t was
written from a New York hotel, under
date of March II. 1861. 1t is as follows:
