Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-The at
,rreys for the State in the Railway
.ra cases have been unable thus far
,. ascertain what amount the South
srr Railway Company received for
T.. lortgage bonds at the time of the

states attorneys wish to probe into
.ae char4e that the Southerns stock

PicrpOnt Morgan and the other
members Of the reorganization COM
mfttee are to be asked 10 tell what
faav know about the matter. it IS
rroppsgd to take Mr.. Morgan's de-
rls,tign in New York. There are
mo other members of the reorganiza-
rior committee of the Southern and
they viii also be asked to give the
details Of the scheme by which the
old richmond and Danville and other
ntiydual lines were converted in the
Eai,naV. All of the officials of the
southern. who have testified before the
sanding master, have pleaded ignor-
apCe with reference to the financial
opegati0ns of the company, and tor
this reason the States attorneys want
70 get to headquarters.
1t IS doubtful whether Col. A. B.
Andrews, vice president of the South
ern Railway, who has been summoned

luon of his health, the States attor-
leys vii. probably waive the right
subject Colonel Andrews TO cross
animation, but they Will insist that

The 4rIlored Cruiser North Carolina.
The armored cruiser North Carolina
IS nearing completion, and accordlng
to present plans, the new queen OF
the navv will make her trial trip the
latter part of next month or the early
part of January The last report re-
cejyed by the Navy Department from
the builders, the Newport News Snip
building Company, is for the month
Of October and shows that the new
.rnOred cruiser is SO per cent COM
s!eted. The trial trip, which will
AXE place off the New England coast,
viii be for the purpose of developing
ests for speed and endurance. The
luilders get a premium from the gov
.rnment in case the North Carolina
levelOps speed in excess of % knots.

Zeb Vance Walser, who is one of
the few Republicans in North Caro-
Ina. who has not held or applied for
Office since the Republicans resumed
control OF the Federal government,
has been in washington. Mr.. Walser
boldly proclaimed that he does nCc in
tend at any future time to make a
leaves the former attorney general in
d position unique among Tar Heel
Republicans For this reason any
Gtterance by him with reference to
National politics is more interesting
than if delivered by an officeholdel'
