each point, conducted by the State
Superintendent for the purpose of
getting and giving information about

tory to inaugurating educational
campaigns in those sections where

sentiment and conditions are favor
able to SUBSTANTIAL school improve
ment. By the aid of the Southern
Education Board the railway fare of
county superintendent attending
will be paid and the meetings will be
held at points where free entertain
ment for them can be obtained. 1t is
hoped to secure low rates on the rail
ways, the same as those to the good
convention. The first meet
ing will be held at Greensboro in the

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL PASSES.

Congress Won't NEEDLE With schley Con-
troVersy-Au War Revenue Taxes to Go.
WASHINGTON, March 22-The
River and Harbor bill, authorizing
a total expenditure of sixty-one mil
lion dollars, was passed by the House
yesterday, after five days consider
alton in committee of the whole. An
effort was made by Mr.. Sulzer of
New York to get a roll call on the
passage of the bill but he received
only the contemptuous, good natured
jeers and jibes of members present,
only three gentlemen seconding hie
demand for the yeas and nays.
Two important measures were
passed by the Senate, the bill for
the repeal of the war revenue taxes
and that for the protection Of the
President of the United States, pro.
viding a sort of body guard.
The House Committee on Naval
Affairs by a vote of 2 to 4 has
adopted a resolution concurring in
the conclusions of President Roose
welt as to terminating the agitation OF
the Sohley controversy and indef-
nitely postponing all bills and 49,
lutions on the subject. =

GEN. OTIS ON PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS.

Washington dispatch: ''If the
Americans were to withdraw and
leave the Filipinos TO themselves
anarchy would result in the Islands, -
said General Otis, in the course of
his examination before the Senate
Committee on the Philippines this
morning.
"The people themselves know that
that would be the result and their
leaders have told told me so. They
want the protection of the United
States and the control of the inter-
nal affairs of the islands and to turn
over the custom houses to u.s."
General Otis, answering a ques-
ton by Senator Culberson, said he
never trusted native officers because
they were too cruel to their men.
He said he could trust their loyalty,
but they treated their captives with
too much cruelty. "They were as
bad as the insurgents" said he.
When he left the Philippines, he
said, "the war as war" had ceased.
Answering a question by Senator
Halls, General Otis said he saw no
difficulty in withdrawing q material
number of troops from the island.
The island forces he declared to be
very necessary and he said there was
no peace in Manila until the native
police was organized. The troops,
he said, had treated the Filipinos
with the greatest kindness. Every
statement of hardship and harsh
treatment he heard had been exag.
gerated. He said: "We were
laughed at by the Spanish and the
army officers for the hu.
manity we exercised"

MILES THREATENS TO RESIGN.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-General
Nelson A. Miles yesterday told the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs
that if the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Hawley at the instance of the
War Department for the organiza-
ton of a general staff for the army
should become a law he would de-
cline to longer hold his oommi, sion.
The reason he gave for the statement
is that the bill is utterly subversive
of the interests of the military sys
tenn and he said that he would not be
a party TO such a proceeding, to the
extent Of continuing to hold his
place.

A BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.

stupsndous Contest on Between the Ameri-
can and the Imperial Tobacco Companies
Bonus Schemes to Cut Each Others Throat.
LONDON, March 2O-Ogdens (Lim-
ited) as the local representatives of
the American Tobacco Company to.
day gave notice of their intention to
give their entire net profit and 5000,
600 yearly for the next four years as
a bonus to their customers.
This is the American reply TO the
Imperial Tobacco Company's attempt
to boycott American goods. In a
circular, Ogdens (Limited) point out
that the Imperial Tobacco Compsny's
offer to distribute a bonus amount
ing to ESQ, 900 cannot be compared
with the bonus the retailers will re
ceive if they continue to trade with
the American amalgamation.
The American Tobacco Company's
bonus scheme is the sensation of the
day in the tobacco world of Great
Britain. "Unparalleled," ''stupen.
dous," ''amazing," are a few of the
adjectives applied to this bombshell.
The anti monopoly role assumed by
the American side has brought them
the adherence of a number of infu-
entail retailers who we're opposed to
the Imperial Tobacco Company's
boycott, and already, n firm, own
ing many stores in the metropolis,
has posted notices of it's refusal
to exclude American goods and of
it's intention to discontinue selling
Imperial brands.
Ogdens (Limited) to-day sent out
10, 900 kilograms from their Liver,
pool headquarters, carrying the an
nouncement of their offers to every
tobacco tradesman in England. The
fact that Ogdens business in 1900
amounted TO nearly 1856, 900 indi-
Gates the enormous sum they are
expected to expend in bonuses.
The London tobacoonists immedi-
ately called a meeting for tomorrow,
to consider their future action.
AS cabled to the Associated Press
from London March 10 the Imperial
Tobacco Company (the British to-
bacoo oombination) had, issued a
circular offering large bonuses to it's
customers who would undertake not
to sell American goods for a term of
years.
