Situation at Sebastopol.

St. Petersburg. December 1.-The fol- lowing dispatch from Vice Admiral Chouk- min at Sebastopol, dated November 30 was given out tonight:
 ''The revolutionists counted on a com plete success assuring the sailors and soldiers that they could remain loyal ser wants of the Emperor while presenting their demands, and that 1t was not nec- essary for them to use violence. By act ing together they were told, they could not fail to succeed.
 "Only the ringeaders were acquainted with the real objects for the putting forth of economic pretexts on service bases. the majority of the men believing that arms would not be employed.
 "The crews on board the ships remained loyal; terrorism, including threats of death, were used to force the workmen of the post to strike.
 '"The tempest of war has ceased, but not that of revolution.
 ''The reason is the people are being lead uncomprehendngly into civil war and self-destruetion."
 General Meller Kakomelskie, commander or the Seventh artillery corps at Sebas- topol, telegraphs under todays date, as follows
 Armed revolt has ceased All the troops behaved brilliantly and performed their duty devotedly.
 "The number of prisoners exceeds 2000.
 Excitement prevails among the inhab- itants. especially among the Jews whom the revolutionary officers insulted and threatened.
 The conduct of the Brest regiment in the capture of the marine barracks was irreproachible, as was also the service rendered by the Bielostok regiment. the fortress artillery, and other troops"

Witte's Enemies Get Busy.

St. Petersburg, December 1.-The Em- peror presided today at a meeting Of tho council of ministers. Much comment has been caused by the Emperor's summons of Count Pah1e, a member of the council of the empire, and one of the oldest and most trusted servants of the house of Homanoff, who participated in the ses- sion. presumably to voice his ma1esty's views. Though the step undoubtedly was taken with the full approval of Count Witte. 1t gave rise to a report that The Emperor was losing confidence in the pfe- mier. and this was eagerly spread by the latter's enemies in the cabinet party.
 After the close of the session of the council of ministers, an official document was issued, saying that martial law in Poland having produced the desired effect on the extremists, II had been revoked at the request of General Skalon. gover- nor general of Poland. who was now hold ing out the hope that the Poles would not participate in the elections for the douma.

Kept Himself Covered.

Baltimore, Md, December 1.-Jack John- son and Young Peter Jackson, both of whom are accredited to California. met in . twelve-round fight before the Eureka Athletic club tonight. At its conclusion no decision was given Johnson had un- dertaken to knock Jackson out within twelve rounds or take the smaller end of The receipts. He failed to do so, largely owing to Jackson's remarkable ability to keep himself covered and to the fact that Jackson did not hesitate to run away from his opponent. Johnson pounded him un- mercifully whenever he could reach him.
 but was unable to score a knockout blow

Underwood's Immigration Bill.

The indications are that strong efforts will be made at the coming session to secure some kind of an immigration bill tending to restrict undesirable immigrants. One of the best measures will be intro- duced by Representative Underwood of Alabama. who In the last Congress secur- ed the passage of the bill through the House but the Senate failed to act upon 1t.
 The bill provides that admission into the United States shall be denied to all persons over 15 years of age and those physically incapable o. reading the En- glsh language or some #other language, but that an admissible alien or a person now in, or hereafter admitted to this country may bring in and send for his wife, his children under IS years of age and his parents and grandparents over 50 years of age, if they are otherwise ad- missible whether they can read or write.
 Mir Underwood stated that of the immi- grants now coming to this country not over 5 per cent from northern Europe were unable to read and write, that fully 50 per cent of the immigrants coming from eastern and southern Europe are unable to read and write and that this class of immigrants as a rule became charge on the state after they came here.

Henderson Sets Sanford An Example.

Sanford Express,
The following is taken from the
Henderson GOLD LEAF Of last week:
The election Tuesday on the PROPOSE
ton Of issuing 500. .00O00 i'll bonds for
Graded School buildings in Henderson
township, carried by big majority
just as we We're confident it would
knowing the temper and spirit of the
people as we do we never doubted the
issue in the least Henderson does not
take any backward step. Its citizenship
is not built after that order The town
goes forward, keeping abreast with the
times and other progressive towns of the
State and country
Total number OF votes east was 40,
only being against bonds.
Henderson is proud of it's magnificent
Graded Schools--the brightest jewels in
its crown of glory-and with better build
lngs and equipment we will have better
schools. And in saying this we mean
no reflection upon the present teachers
or the work done. But, like the work
man with better tools and enlarged op-
portunities. better results can be accom-
plished
"All honor to the broad minded, public
spirited, progressive men who worked
and voted for the school bonds Tuesday
They wrought well and achieved Il vic
tory which means more for the commun-
ity than can be computed in dollars and
cents.
We quote the above from the GOLD
LEAF because We want the people of
Sanford to see what Henderson did
whom If c1 TO >oti 31,
ton of bonds forgraded school build
lngs. Can Sanford afford to do less?
That question will be answered by
our people at the polls on the 2Sth
INST. Let us hope for the good name
OF the town and for the sake of the
hundreds OF children who are to be
educated here that our people will
say by their votes that we must have
better school buildings.
Henderson voted Il $50. 900 bond
issue while we ask for but $4,000,
and only five votes out Of 40 cast
against the measure. This is Il record
that any town should feel proud Of
When the proposition to tax the
people OF Sanford to establish and
support a graded school was sub
mitted to the voters, Tot IL vote was
cast against the measure. That was
Il record we were Justly proud OF.
Are we now going to take n back
ward step by defeating the measure
that will make these taxes effective
and cause them to do he most good?
We refuse to believe it.

Governor GIenn's Critics.
Wilmington Messenger.


When, during the last State admins
lStlHtion. some OF the papers Of the
State saw fit to take issue with Gov
Aycock and to criticise some of his
official actions aud again when they
objected to some OF the proceedings
OF the Legislature during the last
session these papers were jumped on
by the bosses, and party organs who
attempted to read them out OF the
party because they would not swal-
low without making WY face at
everything that was done in the
State which had the Democratic label
on it. 1t was treachery to the party
to intimate that anything which
Gov. AycOck did wasnot the thing"
1t was an evidence OF Il leaning to
R"publcanism to hint that any
legislation endorsed by the Demo
cratic bosses should not be enacted
But some Of these persons who held
up their hands in holy horror at the
audacity of certain other ''sO-called'
Democrats in criticisiny the action OF
Democratic cgOvernOrand Democratic
legislators now when they find they
are 10 longer the mouthpiece and
familiar friend" of the administra-
ton they are quick to pick flaws in
the conduct of the Democratic COVER
nor and they criticise him for doing
what he has q perfect right. both
legally and morally, to do.
What if Governor Glenn did 90 to
Washington and lay before the Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue all the
facts in the Casper case? Did he not
have the right to do so? Could not
Governor Glenn appear for client
| in the Federal Supreme Court if he
chose to do SO? And would he not
have the right to charge fee for his
services if he saw fit to do so? Sup
pose Mr.. Glenn were Il practicing
| physician instead OF Il lawyer would
any one say he should give up his
profession for four years Just because
| he bad been elected Governor? SO
long as he does not let the following
OF his practice in .erfere with his duties
as a State official, what business is it
of any one else whether he chooses to
continue his profession or not? Do
not members Of Congress and State
officers other than Governor, who are
lawyers, continue their professional
| business while in office? 1t would not
do for the Governor to appear in u
criminal case in the State courts $
which might come before him on APP
plication for pardon or accumulation
of sentence. but in all other matters
we do not see why he should be COM
PEELED to give up his profession for
! the time OF his incumbency OF office
| Did not some OF the men who are
criticising the Governor accept office
without giving up their former call
! ing? These men who are now criti-
cising Governor Glenn should remem-
Der how they denied to others in the
party the right to object to certain
actions of the preceding Governor
and OF the Legislature. Ii it was un-
democratic to take issue with AvcOck
it is equally SO to denounce the action
OF the present Governor. With this
class OF people it all depends on
whether the action i'll question meet
their approval or not. Ii they do it
is undemOcratic in Others to criticiSa
them. Ii they do not then it is all
right for these people to denonnce
them. That is the whole thing.
