. Irritation Against Washington.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PTeSS.)
St. Petersburg, Feb. 25.-Tne irritation
against the United States on account of
the supposed unfriendly attitude of that
country towards Russia, which was
slightly noticeable throughout the nego
tiations, seems to nave become daily more
pronounced; and, since the Vicksburg
incident al Chemulpo, American business
men here are really alarmed CONCERNING
the possible effect upon American trade.
Within the last few days orders for
American goods have been counterrna g
ed. the only explanation given being that
the prospective purchaser did not desire
to buy American goods under the pres
ent circumstances.
United States Consul General Watts
has felt it to be his duty to write to
the State Department, pointing out the
state of public feeling here, and the great
prospective damage to American trade IN
less measures were taken to aliay the
irritation.
Americans here believe that an official
explanation of the Vicksburg incident
would he opportune that Russian sus
capabilities have bcen wounded, and the
fear is expressed that should Washington
now disregard Russia and procure exc
quaturs for the newly appointed American
consuls ct Mukden and Antung, from,
ekin and attempt to send those officials
to their posts, a really unpleasant Incl
cent might be created.

Junction. New Machines for
Mantle Factory.
Especial to News and observer.)

Fuquay Springs, N. c.. Feb. PA mat
ter of interest to shippers generally is
the putting in at the JUNCTION of the
Angler and Mills roads of a transfer
switch by which freight can be shifted
from one road to the other without I'M
loading. This junction, just above Fuquay
Springs, is less than a stones throw from
Varina, the station of the Angler. or
Cape Fear and Northern Road here.
President Mills. of the Raleigh and Cape
Fear has built handsome station some
distance to the south OF the old freight
depot land nearer the Spring. From this
building, which, with its sweeping Chinese
roof is now a charming feature of
Fuquay, street is to be laid off, entering
Spring Avenue. near the villa of J. d.
Riggan. The work Of removing dirt
to putting in side trackage
for the new station has been completed,
and within a brief period trains will be
stopping there
The Blanchard mantel and fancy wood
working plant is to be enlarged. To the
six machines already installed it will

Several buildings have gone up here dur

program of the navy as contained in the
pending naval bill occupied the attention
of the House throughout the day, and the
tight is by no means over. The minority
members of the Naval Committee who,
under the leadership of Mr. Meyer, of
Louisiana, first gave endorsement to the
measure, are campaigning for a reduc-
ton in the number of ships to be au-
thorized.
The amendment to strike out the one
battleship, made yesterday by Mr. Burton,
OF Ohio, was defeated. The cruisers then
were put to the test, and enough friends
for them were found for their retention.
construction of the ships in government
yards proved to be a fruitful topic for
discussion, and an amendment by Mr..
Bell, of California. requiring one collier
to be built in a government yard was
adopted
w. w. Kitchin IN CD said that the facts
presented by Mr.. Burton had not been
answered IN any way although his Repub-
lican colleagues had pulled the Repub-
lican of Ohio on him. and declared him to
be out of line with his party. Mr..
Kitchin named various foreign govern
ments and asked, after each: 'Are you
afraid of any of those nations?'
His answer was NO" He said the only
cause for fear was in the present occupant
of the White House, adding. 4"And he will
not be there long"
Mr. Ktchin moved to strike from the
bill the provision for two armored
cruisers His motion was defeated 65
to 126.
An amendment by Mr.. Rixey (Va.)
limiting to maximum price of 1898 a
ton the amount to be paid for armor
plate, and in the event that armor could
not be obtained at this price then the
Secretary of the Navy was to expend
81 GOO 900 in the erection of an armor
plate factory to be erected on lapd owned
by the government, was ruled out of order.

NEWBERN DENOUNCES
Indignant at Insult to State. Ficnh's
Stock Mystery. Where Did
He Get II?
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New Bern, n. c., Feb. 25.-Director c..
E. Foy, OF the A. and n. C. r. r., left
this afternoon for Raleigh. Before his
departure he was asked about the action
of Judge Purnell in naming a receiver for
the railroad. Mr.. Foy said that he was
as astonished as the rest of the commun-
ty, That it amazed everyone who had
any intelligent idea of the condition of
the road. The idea, he said, was simply
ridiculous since the road is in better con
6ition in every respect than ever before
in its history.
There is the severest denunciation here
of those parties believed to have been
implicated in this trickery. Business men
declare they will boycott the road if the
case is forced by such methods.
X. S. Finch, of New York, is supposed
to have very recently become a stockhold
er and the. transfer OF the 45 shares t.
his name, it is asserted, has not yet been
made. He is not known here.
President James A. Bryan has been in
New York for several days past. Tele-
grams from Governor Aycock addressed
to Mr.. Bryan here, were forwarded north
today.
Inquiry is being made to ascertain from
whom the forty-five shares of stock were
secured that are alleged to be owned now
by Finch. The question asked is where
did he get it?'
1t is understood that the private stock
owned by the several counties interested
is entirely antagonstic to this move.

A Late Big Break.

Kirston, n. c., Feb 24.-There was a
large break of tobacco on the local
warehouse floors today, the largest ever
sold here this late in the season. 1t is
eonservatively estimated that the amount
sold would reach 100000 pounds and re-
quire a sale lasting until after four o'clock
to sell it. The price is good and very
little dissatisfaction was expressed, though
the low price prevailing the first of the
season has caused a fixed determination
among the farmers to curtail production
a great deal this year.
