London, June 5.-(Saturday)-
President Premier Balfour has issued
a whip to the members of the govern
ment in the form of a reply to a
question asked in the House of Com
mons The question and the reply
are published this morning and they
excite much comment in all the pa
perS.
Sir John Lang asks the Premier
whether in view of discomfort regard
ing the budget and the evident dis
satisfaction of the constituencies the
Premier would not withdraw the con-
tentious measure and wind up the
business of the session the old commit

ment to the country.
Premier Balfour, in replying, says
that he does not propose to take the
course suggested unless the govern

that it has lost the confidence of the
House of Commons or unless it shall
fail to receive from day to day the
support which is necessary to carry on
the business of Parliament. In either
of the events the government Will ask

Which excited comment, as, in view of
the recent small majorities in favor of

Winston Salem. N. c.. June 24-The
people Of Winston-Salem gave to Hon.
Robert b. Glenn tonight the greatest
reception ever given to any citizen by
the people of a city. 1t was a great
outpouring strongly emphasizing their
love and regard for him. 1t was an
nounced that the train on which he
would arrive would reach here at $40
o'clock tonight. An hour before that
time great throngs lined the streets to
the depot and when the train arrived
fully six thousand people were gath
cred Whereabouts.
When the station blow was heard it
was the signal for pandemonium to
break loose. Fire bells. triangles, all
the factory whistles. the whistles of To-
comotives on the yards, whistles of fire
engines, COW bells in the hands of
scores of boys, drums. cannon crack
ers, torpedoes, church bells. court
house and city hall bells. and every
conceivable fuss maker were brought
into requiSitiOn.
When he alighted from the train he
was escorted by Mayor O. b. Eaton
and Chief of Police Crutchfeld be-
tween two long lines of ladies to an
open carriage awaiting and the line of
march was taken up to the court
house square, which had been mag
nificently Illuminated with calcium
lights, while bonfires blazed on the
way. AS he approached the court
house, to add to the terrible but in
spring din the Forsyth Rifiemen, OF
which Mr.. Glenn was once captain, sa-
luted him with three rounds. The
great throng soon gathered, but on
account of the completely worn out
condition OF the next Governor, he at
once showed his desire not to go into
the hot court house to speak.
Preferring to make a few remarks
from his carriage, he was presented
to the audience by Mayor Eaton in a
most impressive and attractive man
ner as the next Governor of North
Carolina, and when he rose to speak
great shout rent the air He spoke
very feelingSly, his voice quiVering
with emotion as he recited the love he
bore for the good people of this city,
who had always been so good and kind
to him. He touchingly referred to the
great responsibilities placed upon him
and concluded with words of praise
and thanks to his thousands of friends
throughout North Carolina for their
work in his behalf. Especially did he
praise the work of Mr. A. NJ. Eller, his
excellent manager, who has for the
past fifty days given his entire time
to the work of organizing the great
vote of the different counties of the
State. He expressed himself as owing
to him a debt of gratitude he could
never pay.
After the speaking he drove out to
his home to greet his wife, whom he
had not seen since his nomination.

SOME HAPPY FOLKS.
Among Them Should be Judge ErCWt.
Who Himself Took the Telegram
Announcing His Nomination.

Especial to News and Observer)
Washington, N. c., June 24.-Ihere
is great rejoicing here over the noml-
nation of r. b. Glenn for Governor.
If the selection of a candidate had
been submitted to a primary Glenn
would have carried the county by a
big majority. Our people are highly
gratified over the selection OF the dis
tinguished townsman Hon. q. ii.
Brown for Associate Justice. His
neighbors and friends here, the place
of his BIRTH and where he is best
known rejoice to learn that his noml-
nation was made by reclamation.
Judge Brown being a skillful tele-
graph operator, was in the telegraph
office here receiving for Mr.. Hocutt,
the operator, and himself received the
telegram announcing his unanimous
nomination. We suppose that Judge
Brown is the only operator in the
world who ever himself received at
the instrument the telegram announc-
ing his nomination to the bench of the
higest court of a State. He received
many kilograms of congratulations
today from all parts of the State, but
none feel more elated over his nomina-
ton than his home people. Our people
further rejoice over the selection of
Judge Hoke as Associate Justice of the
Supreme court from the west. With
Brown and Hoke on the Supreme
court bench the State will be more
than fortunate.

crash forty feet of the Southern rail-

Warm Springs caved in at one o'clock
this morning. blocking the track. The
cause of the cave-in is a mystery as
no train was passing to jar the earth.
Several weeks ago the woodwork in
the tunnel burned and in replacing it
only the stoutest timbers were used
and the top of the tunnel was thor
oughly cribbed.
Workmen are now clearing the
track. Passengers were transferred.
1t will be two or three days before
trains can go through the mountain
again. 1t is reported that an explo-
sion was heard near the mountain
about the time of the cave-in, and
this has given rise to the theory that
the tunnel was wrecked in this way
by sone evilly disposed person. Trains
were notified of the accident before
