ELECTION FRAUDS IN NORFOLK.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 12-The grand
jury, which has been Investigating
fraud in the November election, to-
day brought in thirteen indictments
against election judges and clerks.
Three of the men indicted we're mem
bers of the city council from the
fourth ward. One of the three has
changed residence and resigned, and
his newly elected successor is also
among the indicted. The investiga.
ton was the outcome of the bitter
factiOnal fight between the so-called
"ring" and the good government
factions Of the Democratic party
over legislative candidates, the
former controlling the election and
having named all the judges.

WHAT PEARY Has DONE.

The latest message from Lieuten-
ant Peary is an interesting contri-
button to Arctic knowledge. He has
rounded the most northerly point Of
the Greenland archipelago the
most nOrtherly known land in tho
world. All the existing reference
state that "nOrth of the mainland of
Greenland is an archipelago of un-
known extent" Peary has disoov-
cred the limits of this archipelago.
The work Of mapping the Greenland
group il, therefore, practically COM
plete, except for a portion Of the
eastern side. Peary is the discov-
erer of the strait which bounds the
great island of Greenland, on the
north, and separates it from the
archipelago just mentioned. The
practical value of this achievement
shows that the Greenland arohipel-
ago does not furnish the best rout6.
to the pole. He has abandoned il,
and will make another effort from
the northern point of Grinnell Land.
To day, the first honors for pushing
''farthest north" belong to the
Duke d'Abruzzi, who attained a lati-
tude of So degrees 80 minutes, in
1900. The second honors belong to
Nansent, who reached SO degrees
1876 minutes, in 1895, and the third
honors go to Peary, who reached
83 degrees so minutes, in the spring
of 19LO.-Sucoess

A1ABAMA's NEW CONSTITUTION.

Alabama voted on it's new oonstt.
tuition recently, and Of course il
was adopted, though the opposition
campaign declared that the returns
are fraudulent and the courts may
have to pass on the question. This
constitution makes radical changes
from the old in nearly every article,
and two distinct suffrage schemes
are provided. Disqualification for
crime and voluntary prepayment OF
u poll tax of $3.50 by February /
preceding any election, being com
mon to both prior to January l, 1908.
All can register who have h~OnorAbly
served in some war, who r de-
scended from soldiers who have SO
served, or who have "gOOd charaO-
ters" and understand the duties and
obligations of citizenship. Three
registrars are to be appointed for
each county. They will, as a matter
of fact, be three white Democrats,
and, under the judicial power to
pass on character and understand
ing Of the applicant and to deter
mine the proof required of service
in war or descent, r expected to
register all the whites and turn down
practically all the negroes.
All those who register under this
plan constitute a life electorate and
can vote without further question as
long as they pay their poll taxes.
The rejected applicant may appeal
from the registrars TO the courts.
After January l, 1903, these discrim-
nations in favor of the whites are
abolished, the judicial power of the
registrars withdrawn, but both races
and all men put under the same def
mite qualifications. At present shere
are about $4,000 negro voters in Ala.
bama who Can read and ~r.te Ii is
estimated that the disqualification
for crime, failure to pay poll tax,
and neglect to register SO far in
advance Of election will reduce the
whole body of negro voters to less
than 80, 900. The new consti' ution
guarantees a school fund OF n t less
than 81, 600, 900, and under this the
better class of negroes are disposed,

THE REPORT OF THE sCHLEY COURT OF
INQUIRY.

schley is Blamed for Numerous Mistakes
Previous to the Battle of sse tiago, But is
Entitled to the Credit Due for that GlOri-
Gus Victory Dewey, However, Defel DIS
schley's Record Before the Battle.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-The report
or the Sohley Court of Inquiry was
promulgated by Secretary Long last
night. There are two report IS, AID
mirals Benham and Ramsay concur
in the first, which is signed by AID
miral Dewey also as a matter of
form. Admiral Dewey makes a sep
arate report. The majority opinion
finds in brief shat Admiral Schley
should have proceeded with the
utmost dispatch to Cienfuegos and
maintained d close blockade that he
should have endeavored to have OBJ
tanned information of the Spanish
squadron there that he should have
proceed to Santiago with dispatch !;
that he should not have made the
retrograde movement that he should
have obeyed the departments or
ders that he should have underworld
to have captured the Spanish vessels
in Santiago; that he did not do his
utmost to destroy the Colon that
he caused the squadron to lose dis
tance in the loop of the Brooklyn f.;
that he thereby caused the Texas to
back that he did injustice TO Hodg-
son that his conduct in the Gam
paign was characterized by vaolla-
ton and d~ilatoriness and lack OF en-
terprise; that his official reports on
the coal supply we're misleading and
inaccurate that his conduct during
the battle was self possessed and he
encouraged in his own person his
subordinate officers and men.
Admiral Dewey in his report says
that the passage to Cienfuegos as
made with all dispatoh that IN view
of his coal supply the blockade OF
Cienfuegos vas effective; that he
allowed the Adula to enter Cienfue
COS to get information that his
passage to Santiago vas with as
much dispatch as possible, keeping
the squadron together; that the
blockade of Santiago was effective,
and finally that he was the senior
officer off Santiago in absolute com
.and and entitled to the credit due
for the glorious victory which re
in the total destruction OF the
Spanish ships.

SECRETARY ROOTS REPORT ON PHIL
IPPINE AFFAIRS.

Secretary Roots report respecting
the Philippines will surprise many
readers, and will be received with
an approach to incredulity by some.
He declares that in selecting the men
for civil service in the Philippines
no official has been appointed upon
any ones request, OF upon any per-
sonal, social, or political considera
ton, and that members of both
Houses of Congress oheerfully &C
quiesoed in not being consulted for
these offices, as soon as they we're
satisfied that the rule admitted of
no exceptions in other words,
Congress and the Administration
hav e adopted without resistance or
serious objection the principle of
of Civil Service Reform-nOt neces-
sarily it's meth Ods-fOr the selection
of officers in the Philippines.
Scarcely less gratifying than this
declaration are the statements con
corning the extent to which local
self government has been instituted.
Municipal governments have been
organized in 765 towns, in all of
which the municipal officers are cleo
ted by popular suffrage. All per-
sons who own real property to the
value of $3.50 or pay an annual tax
Of SIS, or who speak, read, or write
either English or Spanish, r com
petent to- vote. The affairs of the
town or village are in the hands of
the municipal authorities, subject to
"~extensive visitorial and supervisory
powers" by the Commission. How
extensive these powers are the Sec-
rotary of War does not state, but
we may assume that they RI not
more extensive than those exercised
by the New York Legislature over
the municipality of New York, and
not so extensive as those recently
exercised by the Quay Legislature in
Pennsylvania over the municipality
of P%ittsburg. Thirty provinces have
also been organized, the Governors
of which are elected by the COun-
oilors of the municipalities in the
provinces the other officers are ap
pointed by the Commission !; "'but in
every case they were selected upon
consultation with the citizens and
with due regard to their informally
expressed wishes" Native police
are more and more used in the main
tenanoe of order. Encouraging prog
ross has been made in education, but
as many children are awaiting ad-
mission to the scools as are already
engaged in study, because there r
not adequate school rooms. There
are more people anxious for educa-
ton than teachers to furnish 1t,
more teachers than school buildings
for them to teach in.-New York

AMOS OWEN CHERRY TREE COMPANY
DENOUNCED AS A FRAUD.

For several weeks there has been
somewhat of d stir created by the
operation of a oncer known as
"The Amos Owen Cherry Tree Com
pany" located in Rutherford county.
The Crop Pest Commission, recently
in session here, directed the State
Entomologist to investigate the mat
ter. That official, Mr.. Franklin
Sherman, returned yesterday from
Rutherford, and makes the following
public announcement as a result of
his trip:
81 make no apology for denouncing
the Amos Owen Cherry Tree Com
pany as a fraud upon the people, and
those who have handled it as know
ing participators therein. Their
method of business from the incep-
ton, has been false and deceltful in
the extreme, and to make the
crime as bad as possible, they have
derived the greater part of t ie reve
nues from their trade, from the
women and young girls, mainly of
the poorer classes Raleigh Post.
