CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
ADJOURNED MEETING OF CAPE
FEAR CAMP LAST NIGHT.
Proposition to Change the Date of
Memorial Day from
May 10th to June Bird Left to the
Daughtres of the Confederacy.
New Members EIected-Other Bus
mess.

An adjourned meeting OF Cape Fear
Veterans, was held last night at the
~armory of the Wilmington Light In
fantry. Captain James I. Nets, the
commander, presided, and Captain A
L. DeROsset, adjutant, acted as sec
rotary.
the meeting was quite an interesting
Il for several reasons.
1t was ordered hat a full set Of
Judge Walter Clark's regimental his
tories. and of Moore'5 roster of North
Carolina roops which participated in
camp n placed in the library of the
Wilmington Light Infantry armory,
provided that company consents
thereto.
A touching resolution by Captain r.
M McIntire was unanimously adopt-
ed, lamenting the death of DR.. B. NJ
Palmer, of New Orleans, who was
chaplain of h Army of the Tennes-
see during the civil war, and who was
well known and greatly beloved
throughout the south.
With regard to the proposition to
change the date of Confederate Me-
mortal day from May 10th to June 3rd.
a motion was adopted that the whole
matter be referred to Cape Fear Chap
ter, Daughters of the CCnfederacy, with
the information that whatever action
they deem best about the matter will
meet the approval of this camp. The
proposition to change the late to June
Bird came from the recent Confederate
reunion at Dallas, Texas, last May,
and that date was agreed upon be-
cause it is Jeff Davis birthday. Many
camps have already approved the
change n will begin to observe the
new date next year.
a number of applications for mem
bership in the camp were received,
and among them the following were
duly elected members:
Owen Fennell, j. G.. Skipper, r. A.
COrbett, G.. j. BOney, Sol Bear, c. H.

NON-CONCURS WITH SENATE.
But House Agrees to Conference
Asked fOr-FeeIing Is that Senate
Will Have Advant-

Washington, jun 20.-The house to-
ment to the Nicaragua canal bill and
agreed to the conference asked for by
the senate. Messrs. Hepburn, of Iowa,
Fletcher, of Minnesota, and Davey, of
Louisiana, were appointed conferees on
behalf of the house. This action is TAX
en- on the recommendation of the CON-
mittee on Interstate and Foreign COM
merce.
Mr.. Burton, of Ohio, advised none of
the friends Of the Spooner amendment
to object.
Il regard this" said he, "as mere for
NAL action. 1 have the assurance Of
the gentlemen from Colorado, that
every proper effort will be made to
bring the matter back to the house at
the earliest possible moment when those
who desire to do so can support a mo-
ton to concur"
And 1 trust said Mr.. Williams, o.
Mississippi, that no friend of the Mica
ragua route will object. l hapa that
the conferees will fight for that route
to the last ditch"
Soon after the house had sent the
bill to conference, reports gaine1 circu-
lation among members that there was
not likely to be a protracted struggle
in conference, and that The senate
amendment probably would be the basis
of the ultimate agreement.
One of the house conferees, Err
Fletcher, of Minnesota, frankly stated
to his associations that he thought an
agreement would be reached ON the
Panama amendment. Chairman Hep,
burn was not prepared, however, 10 con-
cede that the fight was over.
The democratic conferee, Judge
Davey, of Louisiana, was counted on as
strongly favorable to the Nicaragua
route. At the same time the ~lateness Of
the session and the prevailing desire &c
avoid further complications in the SEN
ate led TO a rather general feeling
among the members of the house that
the senate amendment had something
of an advantage in the conference.

Norfolk. Va. June 20.-There is no
material change in. the strike situa-
ton on which about two thousand

The Little white House.

The building OF the Little White
house means that the White house
proper will continue to be the, resi-
dence Of the president for many years.
There is sentiment connected with
that building which IL will not be easy
to get rid Of. II was proposed TO use
it for an office building and build a
magnificent house for the president In
another part of Washington. but
there was so much opposition that the
proposition was abandoned. and the
plan OF building the Little White
house-an office building for the presi-
dent was adopted
This office building will be in the
White house grounds. just west of the
White house. II will be a small struc-
ture, n story in height, 10 in length
and 80 feet deep. It will contain seven
rooms all Of which will be large and
comfortable. In il the newspaper men
viii have an apartment. something
which they do not have in the White
house. There viii be a cabinet room,
a room for the private secretary, a
te~legrapher's room, a room for the
clerks, a reception room for the Of
~fice-seekers and last, but not least i'm
portant, a room for the president. The
building will be made 10 look like a
small edition Of the White house. The
cost OF IL viii be about so, 0o0. and it
viii be finished early In the fall
The White house itself viii undergo
many changes A great deal OF money
viii be spent upon IL In order TO make
IL just as fine a residence as possible
OF course all OF its colonial features
VIII be retained When IL Ii finished tf
is probable that II VIII be as comfort
able as the residence Of n one On tnd
rulers OF Europe.-Savannah News.

TO BE GONE ZEN DAYS.
The programme of the Fifth regiment
now is to leave Atlanta for Wrightsv
at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, July
II, and remain in camp tor ten days.
The site for the enCAmpment mas been
selected on the HammockS, an island
between the mainland and a peninsula
strip. Between these is Wrlghtsville
sound, which flows il from the ocean,
and beyond the strip Of beach is the
Atlantic ocean. On the strip of beach
are cottages, club houses and hotels
facing the ocean within 200 yards of the
surf.
In Wrightsville sound proper is what
might be called still water, subject only
to the f%uctutions of the tide. On the
island, deeply shaded with live oaks,
the regiment will have such snc1usion as
is desirable. together with the facilities
afforded for moonlight sails. fishing par
ties and trips to and from the beach on
a trolley line passing the island every
fifteen minutes. In addition to this the
regiment will be furnished with sail
boats and fishing tackle for leisure mo-
ments, and the hospIta BILE city of Will
mington will have its doors open to the
gallant sons of Georgia during their
Sr9V.

Liehtning's Marks on the Body.

A curious aud not uncommon effect
of lightning is the formation of certain
arborescent or treelike marks upon the
body. BY early observers they were
believed TO be due to the presence of
neighboring objects, which were pho
tographed upon the skin. Various ex-
plantations were offered by different au-
thorities Richardson has shown by ex-
pertinent that the blood is the best elec-
trical conductor of all human tissues
and that these marks are merely the
impressions of the blood vessels on the
skin, due to the action of the lightning
on the blood in the vessels.-EXchange

A STORY OF CESAR.
The anaIity of Mercy Ms Exercised
by the Great Roman.

Caesar Travelled with the retinue Of n
man of rank, and on his way TO
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Rgcan, his vessel IS said TO have been
taken 10y pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island of the Ca
rian coast. which was then I'm their pos.
session. and there he was detained for
six weeks with three Of his attendants,
while the rest OF his servants were
sent TO the nearest Roman station TO
raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He Joined in their sports, played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged.
The ransom, a very large one, about
10000, was brought aud paid. Caesar
was set upon the mainland, near MI.
letus, where. without moments
delay, he collected some armed vessels,
returned TO the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plunder, and took them away TO
Pergamus. the scat of government in
the Asiatic province, where they were
convicted and crucifed. Clemency was
not a Roman Characteristic. II was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded TO mitigate the
severity of the punishment. The poor
wretches we're strangled before they
were stretched on their crosses and
were spared the prolongation of their
torture. james Anthony Froude.
