There is wanted $4,000, $4,000 Of
which will be taken by Mr.. Register

stock amounting to $4,000.
A committee of three was appoint

business men to raise the remaining

It should be plain to every one
that it is most desirable that this
foundry be located here. ~

NEW RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT
Imperial Manifesto Throws Light OF
the Purposes of the Government.

st. Petersburg, March 6.-The full
tex of an imperial manifesto and laws
relative to the national assembly, and
the ~reorganized council Of the empire,
the main features of which already
have been telegraphed to the Associa-
ted Press, throws a food Of light Oh
the purpose of the government to keep
a firm check on the new Russian parli-
ament and to exclude certain subjects
from consideration by the peoples rep
resentatives. The composition of the
council Of the empire, CT upper house
Of the national assembly, with one half
appointed by the emperor, and %
elected from the nobility and clergy,
not counting scattering supporters
from other classes, seems to insure a
conservative, If not a pliable majority
in the council to block the national
assembly, should the majority of the
latter be in opposition to the crown.
The government carefully retains the
power TO promulgate temporary" laws
during recesses of the parliament, and
as the parliament is subject to disso-
luton by imperial ukase, the govern
ment is thus in a position i'm time Of
stress TO rid itself Of an obnoxious
legislature, and proclaim such laws as
it deems necessary TO meet the emer-
gency.
A feature of the law which seems TO
efectually bar reds from member
ship in the national assembly is a pro-
vision exacting from persons elected,
an oath of fidelity to Emperor, auto
Graf and holy Russia"

The president seems to think it is
time to drop the leaders of the two re-
publican factions in this state and take
up a new man as his advisor. He is
Mr.. Frank B. Mebane, the cotton mill
man of Spray. At Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
quest he called at the White house a
day or so ago and had a long confer
ence with him. Mr.. Mebane would not
give out any thing about the matters
discussed; but, taking his visit at the
presidents request, in connection with
the recent declaration of Secretary Loeb
that Mr.. Roosevelt had become very
much disguised with the way party af-
fairs were managed in this state, it is
quite natural to suppose that the con
ference was on the situation here and
that the leaders on both sides are in
bad repute at the White house.

and exposed to the Ia which con-
stantly broke over them. Finally,
when the deck house was washed away.
the men were forced to take refuge on
the spanker boom, from which some
of them dropped from sheer exhaus-
ton when the boats Of the Casilda
arrived alongside, the others jumping
into the boats to save their lives. Be-
fore that, the mate had leaped over
board in delirium but a Norwegian
sailor, in spite. of the fact that he had
been injured by the shifting deckload
of lumber, sprang after him and effect

were in a state Of collapse from suf-

THE ROYAL BETROTHAL YESTER.
DAY.

As this mornings dispatches an
nounce, the Princess Ena of Batten-
berg, was yesterday betrothed to King
Alfonso, of Spain.
This will be the first marriage be-
tween the royal families of Great Bri-
ain and Spain since that of Queen
Mary, known in history as Bloody
Mary" to Philip II, in the middle of
the 10th century. The bride of yester-
days betrothaI is the daughter of the
late Prince Henry of Battenberg and
Victoria and hence a niece of King
Edward. While known as Princess
Ena of B%attenberg, her full name is
Victoria Eugene Julia Ena. Her
second name is for Empress Eugene,
wife of Napoleon III, with whom the
princess has always been a great ia
vorite. 1t is said the ex-empress will
leave to the princess the greater part
of her immense fortune. Henry, Of
Battenberg was said to be Queen Vic
toria's favorite sOn-in-laW. He en-
tered the British army and was killed
in one of the South African wars.
Princess Ena was the queens favorite
granddaughter.
1t is something unusual for a mem
Der of the British royal family to
marry into that of one of the Latin
nations. The experience which history
teaches the present generation of
Britishers that their ancestors bad
three and a half centuries ago because
of such a marriage is hardly calculated
to make them rejoice over this one.
Princess Ena is very pretty, fond of
outdoor exercise and celebrating
sports. She is very popular with the
people, especially with the Scotch for
the additional reason that she is the
first royal child to be born in Scotland
since the birth of the unfortunate
Charles | in 1000.
King Alfonso who bears the I'M
lucky XIII after his name N of a
royal family which for generations has
suffered much misfortune and COM
mitted many crimes. 1t is expected
that the infusion of this AnglO-SaXon-
Teutonic strain of blood into the
Spanish royal race will improve it and
give the country a better class Of
rulers.

FRANCE AND

So far the Algeciras conference has
accomplished nothing but to make
more pronounced the differences be-
tween France and Germany over the
vital points involved in the dispute
concerning Morocco. The deadlock is
still on, with no signs of either side
being willing to recede one single step.
The fact that they have taken their
respective positions in this conference
of nations and that neither has shown
any willingness to listen I such com
promise measures as have been propos-
ed by representatives of those nations
less interested than they Or hardly
interested at all shows badly for ulti-
mate settlement of the controversy.
There seems to be no backing down
from the position taken by either. 1t
is true that France was willing to ac-
cept Russia's proposition that the po-
Icing of Morocco should be under joint
supervision of the governments of
France and Spain; but this can hardly
be considered as a compromise with
Germany's contention that it should
be under control of the powers repre-
sented at the conference. France, it
is thought, will never agree to this
because it would give Germany 100
great power in Morocco. 1t looks like
Germany is determined to have a
hand in the policing power. She will
not consent to it's being put in the
hands of the two powers proposed by
Russia. And there you are. Then two
questions arise: Will Germany go to
war with France before she will aban.
don her position? Would France ra,h-
er fight Germany now than agree to
the latter's proposition, feeling that
by so doing she, most probably, only
postponed the inevitable war for a
short time?
1t does not look as if the the dove
of peace is lowering very closely over
that little town of southern Spain.

Warsaw voted Monday on a PROPOSE
ton for special tax for public schools
and it was carried. A five thousand
dollar brick school building will be
erected. Thus progresses the idea of
better education. 1t is very seldom the
people of a town or school district
vote down a proposition to impose
an addition a on themselves for CIV
ing their children better educational
facilities. Where such is done it forms
N exception. Our people are each year
becoming more interested in the matter
of education, and becoming con
WINGED of its importance. This is
shown by the increase in the number
of towns which vote the special tax
and also by the constantly increasing
number of students attending the pri-
vate schools, academies, and colleges
of our state. AT the university the at
tendance this year is greater than ever
before.
