1t is expected that the water works will
resume tomorrow.
Eight lives have been lost in the In
diana food III two days. and the total

Japanese Diet Applauds.
(By the Associated Press.)

TOXIC, March 29.-Admiral Baron Yama-
Moto, Minister of Marines, read Vice
Admiral Togos acnpunt OF the siY;.h
japanese attack on Port Arthur, in the
lower House of the Japanese Diet this af-
elncon. The report was received with
tremendous applause.
Admiral Yamamoto referred feelingly to
the heroic death OF an officer, who was
killed in the engagement and dwelt upon
the great difficulty of boctling UP Port
Arthur effectively. He said that this pro
j,ct was still far from completion. Con
tinuing, the Minister Of Marine declared
that the revival OF the martial spirit at
Port Arthur since the arrival there OF
Vice Admiral Makaroff was apparent
and he expressed the hope that the Rus
slams would emerge boldly from the har-
bor and attack the Japanese fleet.
The House unanimously adopted a reso
luton encouraging the government, prais-
ing the navy and pledging itself to spare
no cost in the prosecution OF the war.

THE TEMPERANCE FORCES.
Appeal by State Chairman 10 Press
the Work Everywhere.

The open weather OF March has revealed
that our temperance forces are in -four
ishlng condition There are no signs oil
reaction, but on the other hand the aWak-
ening has become general and our work
erS are more aggressive and earnest than
eycr-than even during the struggle in the
General Assembly. The move is perma-
nent. 1t will continue to go forward.
We not only have campaigns of great
Importance on foot in some of our lead
ing cities, but there is unusual activity
IN the counties. We have good organiza-
tions at work in many OF them. and more
recently active steps have been taken or
planned for in Iredell, Buncombe, Yad-
kin, Lemon, Pitt, Rowan, Durham, Cleve-
land, Chowan and other counties.
/ hope the friends of the cause VIII
bear in mind that elections will be I'M
lawful within ninety days of the general
election in November And 1 would warn
them to consider carefully the wisdom Of
calling an election outside of the ninety
day limit in places where our cause may
become involved in the party issues and
antipathies incident TO campaign year l

that it is their duty to labor for the nomi-
nation of men who will uphold the Watts
Act and the Anti-jug law and take the
advanced step of protecting our smaller
towns word now is worth twenty pc
titions next February. We do not want
however, any Anti-Saloon League tick

rising generation. We shall lot only
fail in cur aims, but we shall convict our
selves of weakness of Judgment and zeal
if we content ourselves merely with de
handing appropriate laws. Each of us
has a personal duty, and now is a good
time to go about it.
Let us have rallies of the leagues
throughout the State
And let the forces everywhere press the
cause OF personal temperance.

EXAMINERS NAMED
To Inspect Condition of
the A. & N. C. Rail
Road.

Governor Aycock yesterday appointed
the committee OF three to accompany the
State Beard of Internal improvements in
la thorough inspection of the condition
and management of the Atlantic and
Ncrth Carolina Railroad.
The gentlemen named by the Governor
arc Messrs. r. T. Gray, OF Raleigh; Hen
~ a. Page, of Aberdeen, and w. Il. Lee,
|of WaynesvlIe. The State Board of In
Iternal Improvements consists, besides
the Governor, of Messrs. 3. C. Bec1with.
of Raleigh, and B. w Ballard, of Frank
linton.
Mr. R. 7. Gray, of Wake county, was
for a long time a director of the Cape
Fear and .Yadkin Valley Railroad, and
also member of the Construction Com
psny which built that road. There is no
MAJ. in the State not actively connected
with the railroad business who is better
posted about railroads and railroad oper,
ations of all kinds. He is also, as every
body knows, a lawyer of recognized aoil-
ity.
Mr. w. T. Lee, Of Haywood, is one of
the most prosperous and successful. mer
chan,s in western North Carolina, having
acquired competency by his large bust
ness operations in Waynesville. He was
an influential member of the General AS
scr!biy of 1895. He was elected by the
Legislature of 1899 member of the State
Board Of Internal improvements, then
composed of one member from every
Congressional district. That beard had
control of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad
MI. Henry A. Page, of Moore county, is
president of the Asheboro and Aberdeen
Railroad and all-round business man. He
is a man who, whether you agree with
him or not, has the courage of his con-
vIctions, and nobody can influence him
one iota when he has once made UP his
mind. His knowledge of practical railroad
ing will be of the greatest value to the
commission.

Cotton in Borh Spot and
Futures Slid Down
ward Yesterday.

Cotton, acting Just as you think it Is
not going to act. took turn bottom
wards yesterday.
Saturday the spot market went up 81
points. Yesterday it went down 40 points
| leaving a net gain over Friday of 1;
points The future market went off also
II did not matter to sellers of spot
cotton on the Raleigh market, as no cot
ton was sold here. A year ago forty-foul
bales were marketed in Raleigh at from
az to 97a cents a pound.
New York spots, which stood at 1876
on Saturday fell to 1890 yesterday. The
Raleigh market is estimated to have gone
off half a cent a pound, and it Is said
that 131a cents a pound would have been
a top figure here, though it is believed
that il any really good cotton had come
in that 1871 Or perhaps ii cents would
have been paid for it.
But there is barely any cotton left and
the farmers are not selling at figures be-
low Is cents pound. They want 16
cents and over for the remnant that is
left, and they believe that it is going
to come before the season is over.
The crop is looked UPON as small now,
but az has been said in these articles be-
fore. Just look cut for the last of May
and the first part of the month of June
Then the crop viii be felt as short for
the mills will feel the need OF the cotton.
When this happens prices must advance
and the bulls regard a higher price for
cotton as something to be depended upon
