TWO BIG SUITS INSTITUTED.
North Carol lam Wants to Recover Money
From Stewart Bros., Fnbllo Printers,
Raleigh, Jane 29.—Ever since Stew
art Bros, of Winston procured the pub
lic printing, two years ago, there have
been complaints, bat recently they as
sumed a grave character, and it was
openly stated that the state had been
made to pay far more than the amonnt
properly due.
The result is twofold—first, the print
ing is token from Stewart Bros, and,
second, they are sued to recover the
amonnt of their overcharges, which are
said to aggregate over $10,000. The
treasury deportment people have for a
long while kept watoh upon them.
From all departments complaints of
extortionate rates come in. The state
treasurer instituted two suits, one on
the bond ef $5,000 as public printers,
and the other to recover money whioh
the Stewarts were paid to which they
were not entitled, but for which they
are not liable on their bond.
The case comes up in July here, and
and it will of course be sensational.
There will be a mass of evidence. Stew
art Bros, are Republicans, and those
who bring snit are Populists and Re
publicans.

Columbus, O., Jane 29.—The prelim

unanimous for free silver and John R.
McLean for United States Senator.
Lawrence T. Neil, who was defeated
for governor by President McKinley,
John Farley and other gold standard
Democrats were active in the chorus for
McLean, but they were contending for
different men for governor. Robert T.
Hongh seems to be the favorite, bat the
field will make a very bitter fight on
him, especially the friends of Congress
man Paid J. Sorg, who is supported by
ex-Governor James E. Campbell; Col
lector Joseph Dowling, who was re
moved by President Cleveland for vio
lation of the civil service rales, and
other leading conservatives on the finan
cial questiou.
In the contest for governor, John O.
Welty and Horace L. Chapman showed
much strength. Even if the McLean
men insist on patting -through the
Hongh slate, it is believed there will be
several ballots in order to permit a
dozen or more to show their respective
polls.
There are many candidates for plaoes
on the state ticket and the convention
may extend to Thursday.
Previous to the district meetings at
4:30 p. m., the fight against R. T. Hongh
for governor became so bitter that there
was much talk of D. Donavin for the
bead of the ticket. On all sides it was
held that no standard bearer should be
selected who had any gold streak in his
reoord.
While it was conceded that Hongh
was an original Bryan man at Chicago,
even before nomination was made, and
that he advocated a silver plank in the
S ite platform three years ago, whfn
nator Brice controlled the st$te con
vention against him, yet the foot that
Mr. Hongh wore a Carlisle button one
day in Washington was used as dam
aging evidenoe against him.

The Vonexnalmn Cabinet . Ha* Resigned
and ExeUement Is Banning High.
New York. June 26.—A dispatch to
The Journal and Advertiser from Car
acas, Venezuela, says: The resignation
of the cabinet created a crisis, not only
in the administration of the govern
ment, but also among the people. Ex
citement runs high, the sensational ac
tion of the ministry, which was, how
ever, not wholly unexpected, being the
paramount topic of discussion in the
crowded cafes and olubs.
President Crespo was unable to har
monize the differences in his official
family over the Guinea boundary arbi
tration treaty, the element that con
tended that the provisions of the agree
ment ignored the sovereignty of Vene
zuela in stipulating that Great Britain
and the United States only, and not
Venezuela also, name the members of

tinued implacable.
Big Skeletons Unearthed In Ohio.
Jackson, O., June 29.—Harrison Rob
inson, a farmer near here, while plow

stone hatchets of various shapes, several
copper bracelets and a number of beads
and arrowheads. One of the skeletons
measured 6 feet, 4 inches in length, and
the other 6 feet 2 inohes. The skulls
were 28 inches in circumference. The
copper bracelets, two of whioh were
fonnd upon the arm of each skeleton,
were of a size to indicate that the war
riors were men of neat muscular power.
Further search win be made near where
the bones were found.
Postoffiee Consolidation Policy.
Washington, Jane 29.—The work of
consolidating small outlying postoffices
with a large adjacent one, making a
single postal district with modern facil

comes, it is said, from residents who
have wrong ideas of the objects of the
department, or postoffice employes
whose positions are thereby affected.
The results of the consolidation polioy
so far carried out have been most grati
