London. March S.-The new army reg
ulations proposed by the war secretary,
Mr. Brodrick. providing for increased
pay and other reforms which have Gre
ated so much comment. appear TO have
been directely copied from the United
States. Major Arthur Lee. II. P, form
erly British military attachee at Wash
ington. said to a representative OF the
Associated Press:
AT last We have taken out q leaf

not believe we have gone quite so far
in that direction as We might. or hope
We may. Under Mr.. Brodricks propos-
ed changes. private in the British in
fantry new receives almost as much as
a private in the United States army
With this change, which 1 frequently
advocated while military attachee at
Washington. we hope to get a class Of
recruits similar to those secured in
America. Under the old pay we were
gradually lowering the physical stan
men. while our desertion percentage
was increasing at a rate which showed
there was something radically wrong
with the system.
THE American army was the only
other voluntarily enlisted body in the
world with which we could make ser
viceable comparisons, the continental
armies, owing to conscription and other
causes, being perfectly worthless as eX-
amples.
Mr.. Brodrick pooh-poohed the idea OF
copying the United States. Now he has
| changed his mind and has done what
the majority of the members of the
house regardless of party. believe to be
| the very best thing that could have
happened to the army.
Last year the government clearly in.
| dicated it's fears that it might have &c
| resort to conscription. The present
| move banishes all possibility of this,

presumably in relation to the pending
controversy over Cuban reciprocity.
There was the most positive declina-

1t was said. however. that the presi-
dent had in no way changed his atti-
tude favorable to reciprocity. In this
connection there were renewed intima-
tions Of a special message which would
clearly set forth the presidents views
on the subject.
The republican members OF the ways
and means committee favorable to Gu
ban reciprocity have held long confer
ences to perfect their organization for
CARRYING forward the contest. In con-
nection with these conferences the be-
lief has gained ground that there would
be a special message. IL it proved to De

Correspondence of The Messenger)
Goldsboro, March 8.
Just as the chief of police was be-
ginning to think that he had possibly
arrested an innocent man. and just as
the tide of sympathy was beginning to
turn in favor Of the stranger, a tele-
gram came from Darlington, asking
that John Smith alias Jim Pearce, be
held for further investigation, and in
a short while after the receipt Of the
first telegram a second message was
received from Jacksonville. N. c.. max
ing a similar request.
If these requests had not come when
they did it is possible that Smith or
Pearce would have been given his
liberty today. AS it stands now he
will very probably be carried to South
Carolina to answer to the charge Of
horse stealing. Thereris no supposition
or guess work about the Jacksonville
affair. This is new phase of the case
and the plot thickens.

was decided to purchase the vacant

building thereon. The first-story will
be fitted up as n store-room and Will

Washington, March S.-Senator Pat
terson continued his questioning of
General Hughes in the senate commit
tee on the Philippines today, taking up
the beginning OF hostilities in Feb
ruary, 1899. The witness repeated his
previous statement that the first shot
had been fired py an American. Sena-
tor Patterson asked General Hughes
what he had meant when he said upon
hearing the firing at first: "The thing
is on
After some sparring between the two
the witness said: II felt that they had
made an attack upon us and that we
must defend ourselves
did you mean simply that you
should defend yourselves or that you
should make an attack also?"
81 had no intention beyond what l
have stated"
Senator Patterson then sought to
bring out the fact that the attack was
made before the Filipinos were ready,
and General Hughes admitted that the
Filipino military leaders were absent
in a conference at Malolos. He said
that hostilities were so active the next
day that there was no opportunity to
attempt to heal the breach.
General Hughes said the Filipinos
made their best fight on February 5,
1899. He denied that in subsequent
battles they were slaughtered, but
continued to fight when they should
surrender.
A number of questions We're asked
by Senator Dubois on points covered
by the Philippine government bill now
pending in the committee. In reply
to these General Hughes said that he
thought that white labor would be g
total failure in the Philippines an6
that other labor would be necessary
there. The natives are, he said
physically weak and lazy and the wit
ness thought the only resort would be
to continue to import Chinese and
Japanese labor for the present a
least.
General Hughes also expressed the
opinion that it would be well to en-
courage negro emigration to the Phil
ippines from the United States. He
added that the colored troops taken t.
Samar mixed readily with the natives
and that many of the latter shed tear!
when the colored soldiers were re
moved. Next to the American negro
he thought the Japanese most desira
BILE. The Chinese labor was the mos
available. but there was a prejudice
against them on the part of the Fill
pinos.
Speaking of the American chamber
of commerce Of Manila he said it il

Raleigh, N. c., March 8.
President Hanes. of the North Caro-

has not been requested to designate it.
He was so requested in the case of the

a day, as no application has been made
and no talk heard regarding the mat
ter. 1t is queer that the people at the
capital of the state should have over
looked such a matter.
The sheriff of this county is informed
by one of his deputies of the murder
of negro. John Holloway, by Edgar
Hicks, alias EGgar Smith. The de-
tails of the crime are given for the
first time. 1t appears that Hicks and
other negroes lad been drinking all
night. The next day they were gam

Hicks wife made a full statement of
the crime saying that Hicks and an
other negro among the gamblers had
planned 10 kill Holloway. They called
to him to stop and Hicks tried to get
him to enter his (Hicks) house. Hol-
loway said he understood that they
had expressed an intention to kill him.
Hicks denied this and declared he had
nothing against Holloway. The other
men left and finally Holloway went
into Hicks house. He was drowSy
and in sitting in front of the fire he
nodded. Hicks went out and brought
in wood and with it an axe. His wife
was in the room. He placed some
wood on the fire and suddenly swung
the axe and crushed Holloways skull.

once and went to the house of his

family that he had killed Holloway
