DEATH OF MR. GATHER HALL WHITING
A Promising Young Raleigh Man Died In
Montreal Yesterday.

Gather Hall Whiting, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Seymour w. Whiting, of this city,
died at Montreal, near Black Mountain
Station, at half past eleven o'clock on
the morning of May 5th, 1902.
The announcement of the death of this
most lovable Young man, not quite TWEEN
ty-one years of age, will be received with
general sorrow. Reared in this city his

and took work with the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company. His health suddenly

rapid. Upon advice of his physician he
was taken to Montreal last Thursday

at his bedside.

$50 p. m. today and the funeral ser

Havemeyer Again on the Stand.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 5.-President Have
meyer, of the Sugar Refining Company,
resumed his testimony concerning the
Cuban sugar situation before the Senate
Committee on Relations with Cuba to-
day. He was Intercepted by Senator
Teller who asked:
Suppose we should take the entire
duty off Cuban sugar, would there be a
reduction in the price of Cuban sugar?''
There would not be unless the volume
of Cuban production should approximate
our consumption. Until then the Gu
bans would get the benefit"
Suppose % per cent. should be added
to the duty?"
THE added expense would come out of
the Cubans.'
MIR. Havemeyer said that his company
makes no contract with persons buying
sugar requiring them to sell the trust
sugar exclusively.
Mr.. Tellcr-"Suppose we don't make
any concession to Cuba, where will the
crop be marketed?"
Mr.. Hayemeyer-"It will come right
here and we will get it anyhow"
IF we should reduce the tariff on su-
gar 20 per cent. would the customer get
any advantage of that?"
None whatever
Would the trust get any,"
None whatever"
Senator Teller insisted that the trust
would say, I'VE will pay just what we
have been, less the concession" and the
Cuban producer would have to take
what he could get, but Mr.. Havemeyer
denied this.

THE GUNS WERE FIRED
Cadets at A. & M. College
Stir up a Racket.
Parties From The City Assembled Near The
College and Aid d the Noise With
Pistols.

There's been lively time over at the
A. and NJ. College
1t reached a noisy stage on Sunday
night when there was fusilade of guns
and pistols at the college.
The trouble is now over, but there
was a lively time while it went on.
When the Seaboard wreck took place
last week at the gate of the States
Prison many of the cadets took French
leave of their classes and were away
from recitations.
Reports had it that some seventy-five
or more were away, but college officials
say less than thirty were absent. In
this number were two members of the
Senior class.
Last year regulation of the college
was made which imposed as punish
ment for absence from class without ex-
cuse confinement in the college from
noon Saturday to Monday morning
breakfast and this rule was enforced
last week
The Senior class did not enjoy having
two of it's members confined, and two
members, representing the class, called
on Captain Phelps, the commandant, and
asked that their colleagues be released
They ayerred that a Senior should be
allowed to judge for himself as to
whether or no he should go on class.
Capt. Phelps could not agree to this
and with his consent the delegation saw
Prof. ID. H. Hill, acting president in DR..
Winston's absence. Prof. Hill took the
same view as Capt. Phelps
Sunday night came the stir. Some
one short circuited" or cut off the
electric lights in the domitories. Some
students who had blank cartridges held
over from drill on Friday, started a
fusilade and some window lights were
broken. Parties from town assembled
on the campus and fired pistols and the
shooting went on.
Captain Phelps later examined the
armory, but no guns were missing. nor
were any blank cartridges, though
rumor has had it that hundreds were
missing, In the darkened domitory it
was impossible to see who was doing the
shooting.
Yesterday morning all the cadets, with
one exception, were at breakfast and
roll call. No arrests were made and
many of those in confinement say that
they stayed in their rooms in the dark.
This is the extent of the trouble at
the college and now everything is NOV
ing on serenely. The report that the
Seniors demanded the release of their
confined colleagues on threat of rcsigna-
ton IS denied.

At meeting called by Chairman Dughi
of the joint committee of Osceola and
Occoneechee tribes of Red Men, to which
was referred the matter of establishing
Red Mans Orphanage, it was suggested
to the representatives to the Great
Council that board of trustees of not
less than five be elected, and empowered
to solicit and raise funds for this object,
and that the Great Council levy a per
capita tax. The committee reported that
thorough canvass had been made, and
that all the tribes had endorsed the
movement, as we'll as the pale faces

Mr.. Rawlins eXonerated General Chat
fee and all other American officers from
responsibility for the results of the adj
ministration's policy in the islands. The
men under them, he declared. were the
victims of that policy. He declared
that he had not made his criticism of
that policy to attain partisan ends, but
to vindicate the honor and integrity OF
the country. He did not lay such
charges as he had made at the door of
General Chaffee or at the door of any
other officer in the Philippines. They
were performing most thankless and
urhonored task. The responsibility for
the policy being pursued. he asserted,
lay at the door of the Senator from
Massa chusetts. Mr. LODGE, and at the
door of other Senators who were sup

that policy.
