OUTLOOK is FAVORABLE.
Indications Point to Pacification o.
Philjppjnes

Manila, Jan. 31.-The general out
look for pacification in the archi-
pelago, everywhere outside the island
of Samar, has never been more favor
able since the original outbreak Of
the Filipino insurrection than at the
present time.
The insurgents have been broken
up into small bands and are every
where fleeing for shelter. They sur.
render daily, are captured or are
killed. The policy Of Recommendation
and the stern measure of closing the
ports to commerce have accomplished
everything expected of them. Gen.
eral Chaffee still hopes that by the
end of February the island of Samar
alone will remain not paciffed.

WITH JUSTICE BARBEE YESTERDAY.
Negro Obtained Goods Under False Pretenses
Troubles Of a Courtship,

A colored man named William Bates
before Justice Barbee yesterday
morning on a charge of obtaining goods
under false pretenseS. The charge was
brought by G. H. Wigginns & Co, who
say that Bates purchased groceries from
them. saying that he worked for the
Seahoard Air Line and that he would
pay for the goods on pay day. They later
fOund that he was not in the mploy of
the railroad, and had him arrested. He
was committed to Jail to await his hear
ing before Squire Barbee at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Justice Barbee had another case before
him yesterday OF quite a different ma
ture. Willis Stephens, an old darkey,
aged seventy, had courted Fannie Mitch
ell, who finally accepted him., but later
decided to withdraw from the engage
ment. Then the trouble began. The old
darkey cut up "scandalous," and even
threatened to Stay his ~erstwhile darling
on sight. Fannie, in her fright secured
a writ, and Willis was asked for "a $50
to keep the peace. He could not give it
and was committed to Jail.

hand and is made of chestnuts and paste
worked together and folded in fodder.
1t does not look tempting.

here, tells of a curious looking ration

REGISTRATION IS SLOW.
Roll Increased Yesterday and But Two Weeks
More to Close.

There was an increase in the registra-
tion in Raleigh yesterday and reports
from the county say that this has been
the case at every precinct, though the
rain yesterday kept many away.
The negroes are hardly registering at
all. and in the entire city yesterday af-
ternoon less than a dozen negroes had
put their names on the books. The vast
majority st the whites register under
the "grand-father clause" but the reg
istration is proceeding very slowly.
There is left now only two weeks in
which to register, as the books close on
the 25th, Saturday week. If a man want
to vote delay is dangerous. The safe
thing to do is to go and register at once.

R~EGIsTERING GOES ON.
The Republicans Are hot Trying The Grand

Registering is increasing, but there is
apt to be some who forget that the days
are slipping by, and that the books close
on October 25. Register at once.
Yesterday Bishop Joseph BlouEt Ches-
hire registered, and he did it under the
"~Grandfather Clause" His name goes
on the permanent roll.
Col. p. NJ. Pearsall, private secretary
to the Governor, left yesterday for New
Bern, and goes to register under the
"Grandfather clause"
SO far as known the white Republicans
of prominence are not registering under
this clause. Col. ]. G. l.. Harris, of this
city, who voted for the amendment, has
done so. and this will also be lone by
his father, Mr.. G. l.. Harris, whose sick
ness has prevented him from attending
to this before.
