Toxic, June 20. Discussion of the
meeting of the peace plenipotentiaries
continues through Washington with
indications of an early completion of
the details. There has been a series
of conferences between the elder
statesmen and the cabinet to consider
the conditions and discuss the selec-
tion of plenipotentiaries. 1t is
thought to be possible to complete the
details, appoint the plenipotentiaries
and organize staff of assistants in
time for them to sail on the steamer
Empress of India June 80 from Yok-
ohama for Vancouver, B. @. The
voyage will consume about two weeks.
1t is expected the party will number
dozen.
In the meantime military activities
will continue. Important develop
ments in various directions are ex-
pected speedily.

marked degree. While courteous, he
was chiefly noted for his frankness
and his straightforward manner. He
lived the North Carolina motto: 1T is
better to be than to seem" and had
an fashioned North Carolinian's
contempt for pretense and shams and
never invited Mr.. and Mrs. Veneering
to his home.
General HawIey did not believe in
slavery and, though North Caro-
linian by birth, he was always a firm
believer in the abolition of slavery. In
Connecticut he was in sympathetic
surroundings. He enlisted in the Fed
eral Army and in battle array met the
men of his native State. If he ever
felt regret for having to draw the
sword against his mother State he
doubtless felt that he was fighting
for the Union and that it would be
better even for North Carolina that
there should be no dissolution of the
Union.
General Hawley was editor and part
owner of the Hartford Courant, the
leading newspaper in Connecticut,
though for twenty-five years he had
devoted all his time to his Senatorial
duties, leaving the conduct of the pa

The retreat of General Kuropatkin
and the turning movements of the willy
Japs are not more intricate or longer
drawn out than the details and the
strategen1s of the railroad wars of the
city of Durham.
Whether it is a company of leadini;

the moon makes faces at the show,
whether it is the railroads bnildiGg a

inaccessible pocket or the railroad
again playing 4 return engagement by

something doing in Durham!
The litigation which started about
Peabody Street went on merry
course for sixteen years in half a dozen
courts and finally expired in a sort of
a dog-fall compromise, which is apt to
be abrogated to the desuetude of for
getfulness by this last spasm of con-
struetion work.

RoosEvELTs SUCCESSOR.

Vice-Presfdent Fairbanks is coming
to North Carolina this, week. He will
get hearty welcome. Writing of the
candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton four years hence, Joe Oil says
that Fairbanks is doing the pussy
footing of it to advance his candidacy
and will press his candidacy in a
business-like way, and is already
counting the high officials of the
Standard Oil Company and the other
high-muck who were always
in close touch with Hanna.
The other candidates are Foraker,
Shaw, Uncle joe Cannon and La
Toilette OF the lot Foraker has more
brains than any other half dozen Re-
publican leaders and has grown to be
the ablest man on the Republican side
in the United States Senate.
La Toilette is the man if the
Republicans intend to break with the
trusts and bounty-fed corporations. He
would be stronger with the masses of
his party than Roosevelt but could
hardly hold the support of the trust
crowd as Mr.. Roosevelt did in the
last election. 1t is probable that the
Republican Senate Will refuse to furth-
er the plans of the President. What
then? Would the Republican voters
turn the party completely over to the
trusts or demand La Toilette to carry
out reforms? The Wisconsin Senator
has all the strenuosity of the Presi-
dent, but he has a habit of running
amuck" is, when he has won a
victory against great corporations vio-
lating the law or lodging taxation, he
presses the advantage and tries to
clinch ii. Therein he is SO far as
present achievements go the strongest
man in the Republican party if an
appeal is to be made to the masses.
We Will all be glad to see Mr.. Fair
banks in North Carolina, but he will
do well not to depend too much upon
pledges of support he may receive at
Greensboro. North Carolina Republi-
cans in such matters are subject to
change without notice.

ON TO PANILICO.

The news from New Bern is that
the first train has run over the new
bridge over the river at New Bern on
the new railroad that is being built
from New Bern into Pamlico county.
Mr.. James A. Bryan, president of that
road, expects to have trains running
regularly in time to haul out the crops
the farmers will make this year along
the line of the road.
The lands of Pamlico county are
very rich and are admirably adapted
to the cultivation of truck. With
quick transportation facilities and
drainage of that portion of the lands
needing it, the day is not far distant
when land in Pamlico will double and
treble in value and its people be
among the most prosperous farmers
in the whole country. In constructing
that road Mr.. Bryan is leading in the
development of his section of the State
along lines that means the best sort
of development and extensive agricul-
ture.

TIE REVENUE ACT.
The History of the Most Important
Changes Made by the Finance
Committee.
By Senator j. A. Long. Chairman of
the Finance Committee.

By Senator j. A. Long. Chairman of
the Finance Committee.
While there have been a number of
changes in the old law there have been
but few of any considerable import
ance. The repeal of the Merchants
Purchase Tax will probably be felt and
approved of by more people than any
other change. This tax mas always
been regarded by the merchants of the
state as a double tax, and every legis-
lature since the law was enacted has
been flooded with petitions for it's re-
peal. The tax was at first levied for
specific purpose. and regarded as
necessity by reason of the condition
of the States treasury. The condition
no longer exists. and the Finance Com
mittee unanimously favored leaving it
out of the new revenue law.
The machinery for collecting the in
come tax was radically changed. The
Democratic party is committed to the
principal of an income tax. and our
citizens as a rule do not object to pay
ing it, but they do very seriously and
justly so, | think, object to the pub
licity that has been given to this par
ticular tax for the past years, and we
were appealed to to make some
changes in the manner of listing. The

HE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Especial to News and observer)

Especial to News and OpSerVeF'l
High Point, n. c., March 20.-Geo.
B. Brooks attempted suicide at his
home here this morning at 1880
O'clock For some time Mr.. Brooks
had been depressed over his bust
ness affairs which preyed on his mind,
finally producing temporary INSANITY
and while in such a state he tried to
end his life. Up to the first OF the year
Mr.. Brooks was manager of the High
Point Stationery Company, stock
company, and which failed through his
management, since that time he was
engaged in the life insurance bust
ness but met with little success. This
and the failure in business as noted
above caused too much of a strain on
his mind.
Mr.. Robertson who boarded With Mr..
Brooks arrived at the house last night
about eleven o'clock and sat with Mr..
Brooks until 1880 when he retired.
At 1890 O'Clock the occupants of the
house were awakened by the report
of pistol, followed closely by another
report. The first shot went wild while
the latter struck the head just over
the right eye. The pistol was held
so close that the face was burned.
This no doubt saved his life. Mr..
Brooks has had nothing to say in re-
gard to the unfortunate affair. He is
resting easy this morning and it is
thought that in a few days ne will be
all right. DR.. Burrows was the at
tending physician. The people feel es-
pecially sorry for the family.

A NORTH CARoLINIAN BY BIRTH

In the death of Hon. Joseph r.
Hawley, Senator from Connecticut
this country loses a distinguished Off
ciaI whose character was such as tc
win for him universal respect In his
State, though a stalwart Republican
he had the confidence and esteem of
men of all parties. In the Senate
he was first an American and then a
Republican. Mark Twain voiced the
sentiment of Connecticut when, some
years ago introducing General Hawley
to an audience the humorist said of
the statesman: General Hawley is an
honest man in politics, and / must say
he occupies a mighty lonesome posi-
ton
General Hawley was born near
Laurel Hill, Scotland county, Cthen
Richmond county,, North Carolina.
His father moved to the North before
he was grown, but he had happy rec
objections of his scheol-days in North
Carolina. He was the guest of honor
in Raleigh when the Exposition was
opened in 1881 and afterwards visited
the scenes of his birth and early boy
hood. Later, in response to requests
he saved the people of that section
from political appointments that were
distasteful for the sake of ''auld lang
syne." He loved the simple life, even
before it became a fad for strenuous
folks to talk about. He had many
of the North Carolina virtues in
