which Rev. DR.. Charles A. Dickey, of
this city, was chairman. His sugges-
ton was adopted and Rev. DR.. James
E. Moffatt of Cumberland, Md, moved
that Moderator Minton be elected
chairman OF the committee.
This incensed the friends of DR..
Dickey and although DR.. 'Moffatt's mo-
ton prevailed, the subject was revived
later in the session by Rev. S. J. Mic
coils, of st. Louis. DR.. Niccolls moved
to reconsider the subject, but al he

Realizing the delicacy of his posi-

ASK FOR
Boer Representatives Appeal to The
Hague Court.

Berlin, May 2S.-A special dis
patch from st. Petersburg asserts that
DR.. Hendrick Mueller and DR.. Leyds,
representing the Boer republics, have
appealed formally to The Hague arbi-
tration court, promising to abide by
the decision of the tribunal regarding
issues involved in the South African
war, and pointing out that several of
the paragraphs of the legislation of
the arbitration court, signed by the
powers represented at the peace con-
ference, pear directly upon the South
African case.
Berlin papers tonight express the
opinion that it is quite possible Great
Britain would now submit the issues

POSSIBLE RESULT FOLLOWING
DE LIMA DECISION.
may CALL EXTRA SESSION
Following Same Line of Reasoning
Court Will Declare Philippine
Duties Illegal.

dent McKinley's special train sped
across the state of Iowa today. Few
stops were made, but the train was
slowed up at the principal towns and
cities and the. president appeared on
the rear platform.
This is Secretary Wilson's home
state and he shared the honors with
the president today. At Tama, where
Wilson formerly resided, there was
a big crowd to greet them both, but
nc stop was made. At Marshalltown
the local G.. A. R. post lined up at the
station.
his cabinet spent much of the time
today reading and discussing the pub
lished reports of the opinions of the
supreme court in the insular cases.
The decision in the DeLima case, if
followed in the Philippine case, as it
is assumed it will be, might result in
the calling of an extra session of con
.gress.
In the DeLima case the court decid.
ed that the duties collected on Porto
Rican goods before congress enacted
the Foraker law were illegal and must
be refunded. 1t is presumed that the
court, following the same lines of
reasoning, will decide that the duties
collected on goods from the Philip
pines were also illegal and that such
goods were, and are, subject to free
goods were, and are, subject to free en-
try into the United States until con
.gress acts as it has already lone in the
acts as it has already done in the
case of Porto Rico. Such decision
would mean not only refunding of
open the ports of the United States
to goods of every description from the
Philippines until congress meets in
December. 1t is palpable that import
ers might take advantage of this to
ship goods into the United States
through the Philippines and thus de-
fraud the government of it's revenues
Whether the danger from this
course is great enough to warrant the
calling of congress in extra session is
one which will be decided only after
full elaboration. 1t is possible, how
ever, that this danger may have been
already obviated in the enactment of
the Spooner resolution delegating tenn
porarily to the president power to gov
aern the Philippines. This may be con
sidered an act of congress within the
meaning of the Downes decision, at
firming the constitutionality of the
Foraker law. But it is a delicate ques-
ton and n which the president and
his advisors will consider in all it's
bearings before coming to a conclus-
ion.
The members of the cabinet decline
to discuss the subject for publication.
They united in a message of c%ongratu-
1ation to former Attorney General
Griggs, who prepared and presented
the governments case to the supreme
court.

Eastern Carolina Beauty
Who WEEDS This Month

Speaking of the handsome invitations
issued to the marriage of Miss Jennie
Harrison Watson, of Newbern, and Mr..
Thomas Lee Craig, of Gastonia. which
occurs on November 9th, the Gastonia
Gazette says:
THE invitations issued extensively to
the numerous friends of the contracting
parties We're received in Gastonia yes
terday morning. The occasion is one of
unusual interest among our readers, be-
cause of the wide acquaintance and
great popularity of the groom. AS one
of its leading and most energetic bust
ness men, Mr.. Craig, of the firm OF
Craig and Wilson, has grown UP with
the town and has so long been identified
with Gastonia as to seem almost part
of it. But much interest in local social
circles attaches to the event, also on ae-
count of the rare personal beauty, the
most engaging manners, and the many
graces of character with which the
promised bride is so well endowed.
Miss Watson was visitor in Gastonia
last September and easily won the sin
cere admiration of every acquaintance
ship formed during her stay here. Both
Mr.. Craig and his fair betrothed deserve
to be congratulated upon the happy
event which awaits them in Newborn
On the 27thsof this month";
The haDdSome manner in which the
Gazette<speaks of the bride-elect is well
deserved. She is one of the handsomest
young women of the State and her en-
gaging manners have won for her a
multitude of friends. Mr. Craig is to be
highly complimented on wining so
charming a bride.
