PELEE HARD AT IT AGAIN
Prolonged Decorations Are Heard
All Cables to Martinique Are
Gone To-day.

Efforts to communicate by cable direct

unsuccessful. The French cable company
has no cable working to that point and
the company's officials are unable to say
when communication with Martinique will
be resumed.

Nine-Tenths of the People Favor
Clark.
Grimesland, y. c., June IS, 1902.

Grimesland, Y. c., Jun IS, 1902.
Editor Reflector:
What are the facts as the rank and
file of the Democratic party see it with
reference to the charges against Judge
Clark? Nine-tenths of the party endorse
Judge Clark for Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court. Why? Because as a
Superior Court Judge and as Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court his very
able and fair decisions have met with
the hearty approval of the people. He
has rendered the State immense service
in other ways. for which every true
Confederate soldier and syElpathizer with
the cause for which they gave up so
much should feel grateful. This service
was rendered without reward or the
hope of reward. But few men in the
State could have done this work so
we'll.
The charges made by and through
Governor Russell, the railroad and other
corporations agent, nave all fallen fiat.
Why do | say So? Have not nine coun-
ties out of ten that have held their con-
ventions endorsed Clark? Shall nine
tenths of the party allow the four hun
dred Mckinley Democrats, the agents of
the Southern Railway, Governor Rus
sell and a few Democrats who swallow
all they read in the Raleigh Post, to
dictate the nominations of the Demo
cratic party? God forbid.
1t means something to the railroads
to be able to control the Supreme Court
for the next eight years. 1t behooves
the people to see that this combination
of Republicans straight, Republicans in
disguise and railroad Democrats are
thwarted in their efforts.
Pitt county appreciates the past valu-
able services of Judge Clark, and believes
when the county convention meets. nine
tenths of her vote, if not n~inety-nine
one hundredths, will be cast for Judge
Clark.
| first knew Walter Clark thirty-si>
years ago, when the seventeen-year-ol(
boys were made men in General John
sons army before old Sherman. If he
had not been splendid material he would
not have been made major of his reg.
ment at the tender age of seventeen. H
made a fair soldier as a boy. His life
since the war as q man and as a public
officer has been par excellence"

PLAYING WITH THE TRUSTS.

THAT there has existed for some time
a popular sentiment demanding relief in
some form from trust exactions is quite
apparent. Acting upon the
that the trusts should be prosecuted by
their friends and not their nemies the
national administration was at last con-
strained to institute some civil suits to
test the efficacy Of the Sherman act.
What has been the net result? A few tenn
porary injunctions have been obtained.
with the tacit consent of the trusts them
selves, or at least with little or no OBJ
position, which in general terms restrain
the trusts from violating the Sherman act
(Which they expressly deny that have
violated, or are now violating. and lit
tie or nothing else has been ccomplishe
and the courts Will soon adjourn for the
summer. The business is continued and
prices remain the same. 1t is a suff-
cient commentary upon the whole bro
ceedings TO say that no criminal prose
cution has been instituted, no arrest
has been made and no Indictment found
anywhere.
What the people want is Immediate
relief from the present high prices ex-
torted from them. That relief can be
obtained by the application of a speedy
and effectual remedy in the repeal of all
tariff duties upon productions controlled
by the trusts

taxation for the benefit of private in

has promoted dangerous speculation TO
an extent Of which the boldest business
gambler never dreamed, whereby millions
of worthless stocks have been unloaded
upon a deceived public, upon the promise
and examination of dividends which can
not be earned and can never be realized
creating an alleged prosperity which
might necessarily be false and fictitious.

N. P. TRAINS TIED UP
BIG WASHOUT BETWEEN JAMES
TOWN AND BISMARCK,
Nd.
TWO TRAINS HELD THIS END
Train Out of Mandan Was
Forced Back Last Night
and Traffic Is at a
StandstiII.

The Northern Pacific is experiencing
more than it's share Of hard luck. The
latest is big washout between James
town and Bismarck, N D., which has
held up two westhound trains, number
eleven that was scheduled to leave yes
terday morning, and number three, that
was to leave last night.
These trains were held, as was under.
STOOD that the rains had flooded the
country to such an extent that the tracks
were under water and in many places
washed out entirely AS far as can be
seen from this end of the.@1ines it looks
as though traffic would be tied up for two
or three days at the least
Nothing definite has been learned here
and at the operating department last
night it was stated that it would be some
time today before anything in the way OF
information in regard to the moving OF
trains, would be available
The weather in the flooded section is
considerably colder than here, and this
will, of course, help out, as it is easier
to handle the trains than it would be
if the roadbed was soaked and soft with
water.
No westbound Northern Pacific trains
will go out until something further Of
the situation is learned. Number eleven
out of Mandan was forced to go back
TO Mandan, as it was impossible to get
through.

: CEEDINGs TO SECURE ExAMINA-
TON OF PRIMARY BALLOTS
HEARING SET FOR SATURDAY
Order Issued Citing Messrs. Kelly
and O'NefII to show Cause Why
There Should Not Be
Recount.

In compliance with a petition filed by
Herman Oppenheim yesterday, Judge Otis
granted an order citing William Louis
Kelly Jr., Owen H. O'Nefll and City
Clerk Matt Jensen to appear in court
Saturday morning next and show cause
why the ballots in the primary election
should not be inspected, examined and re-
counted by referees appointed by the
court
Mr. Oppenheim was one of the nine
asp1rants for nomination as Democratic
candidates for judges of the municipal
court; and upon the returns Of the pre-
cinct judges. as canvassed by the board
legally constituted for that purpose, Will
liam Louis Kelly Jr. and Owen H. ONeil
were certified as having been the sue
cessful candidates. Upon the returns as
certified by the canvassing board Mr..
O'Neill led Mr.. Oppenheim by only 1903
votes and ldr. Kelly by several hundred.
Mr.. Oppe11heim, in his petition, does not
make any specific allegations of fraud or
mscount, but in a general way charges
that in each of the ia election districts
of the city there was at least one ballot
cast for him which, through fraud, mis-
take or inadvertence was not counted,
and that in each of the precincts there
was at least one ballot counted for Mr..
Kelly and one for Mr.. O'Neill which
should not have been counted for them.
The petitioner prays the court that I'M
less good reason to the contrary shall be
shown referees shall be appointed to make
a recount

DISAGREE OVER TRIFLE.
MARSHAL GR7MSHAW AND CAPT,
LAWRENCE HAVE TROUBLE.
Mr.. GPimshaw Opposed Lawrence's
Ideas of ''MugSinS" and the Lat
ter Appealed to Washing
ton for Decision.

Dispatches from Washington indicate
that strained relations exist between Capt.
John w. Lawrence, of the secret service,
and United States Marshal Grimshaw.
The two officials disagreed over what, in
the vernacular of the police is known as
mugging' or photographing prisoners.
Capt. Lawrence contended that men
known to have served time in peniten-
tiaries should be ''mugged'' as soon as
apprehended, while the marshal declared
that the phOtOgraphing shout not take
place until after the preliminary hearing
for the new offense has occurred and the
men had been bound over
The two prisoners over whom the Of
ficials quarreled were WEIGH and Bres-
seau, who were taken to Saltwater Mon
day to serve term of years for counter
feiting. AT the time of their arrest Capt
Lawrence recognized the men as ex-con-
Victs who had served terms in the Iowa
state prison. He Immediately made pre-
parations to photograph them when the
marshal interfered and declared that 1t
should not be done until after the pre-
liminary hearing.
The marshaPs stand on the ''mugging''
proposition made the captain very wroth
He Immediately wrote the authorities at
Washington, requesting that the question
be settled forthwith.
In due time the official decree was re-
turned and it is understood that the rul-
ing is entirely satisfactory to both parties.
