Asheville, N. C., Deo. 3.—Senator
Jeter C. Pritchard has returned from a
visit to friends in Kansas to his home in
Marshall, N. C. Senator Pritchard was
accompanied by Mrs. Pritchard.
It has been rumored in southern po
litical circles that there may be a change
in the cabinet after March 4, and that
Senator Pritchard may be asked to ac
cept the position of postmaster general.
The senator states that nothing of the
kind has been intimated to him and that
be can be of fully as much service to
the country in the senate as in the cab
inet.
He is satisfied that the Nicaragua
caual bill will come up for consideration
at the coming short session of congress
and that this and the bill for the reor
ganization of the army, with possibly
some action on the Chinese and Philip
pine questions, will take up most of the
time of the coming session.

Washington, Dec. 3.—The president’s
message . as received and read' in the
house and senate at 1:45 o’clock today.
The message in part is as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives:
At the outgoing of the old and the iu-
• taming of the new century yon begiu
he la.-.c session of the Fifty-sixth con
gress with evidences on every hand of
individual and uatioual prosperity aud
wkk proof of the growing strength and
increasing power for good of Republican
institutions. Your countrymen will join
with you in felicitation that American
liberty is 111,ore firmly established than
ever before and that love for it aud the
determination to preserve it are more
universal than at any former period of
our history.
The republic was never so strong, be
cause never so strongly intrenched tu
the hearts of the people as now. The
constitution, with few amendments, ex
ists as it left the hands of its authors.
The additions which have been made to
it pro daim larger freedom and more ex.
piomacy,
tions of the physical force of fleets and
arms have been needed to secure due
respect for the treaty rights of foreign
ers.
BOXER INFLUENCE PREVAILED.
The sect styled the Boxers, with the
collusion of officials, including some
iu the immediate councils of the throne
itself, became alarmingly aggressive.
No foreigner’s life, outside of the pro
tected treaty ports, was safe. No for
eign interest was secure from spoliation.
The diplomatic representatives of the
powers in Peking strove in vain to check
this movement. The circle of the Boxer
influence narrowed about Peking aud,
while nominally stigmatized as sedi
tious, it- was felt that its spirit pervaded
the capital itself, that the imperial
forces were imbued with its doctrines,
aud that the immediate counsellors of
the empress dowager were in full sym
pathy with the anti-foreigu movement.

SPAIN AND OTHER COUNTRIES.
Satisfactory progress has been made
toward the conclusion of a general
treaty of friendship aud intercourse
with Spain, in replacement of the old
treaty, which passed into abeyance by
reason of the late war.
Referring to our friendly relations
with Great Britain and the temporary
boundary line agreed upon between
Alaska ana Canada, while the arrange
ment is working without friction, the
president says:
But, however necessary such an expe
dient may have been to tide over till
grave emergencies of the situation, it is
at best but an unsatisfactory makeshift,
which should not be suffered to delay
the speedy aud complete establishment
of the frontier line, to which we are en
titled under the Russo-American treaty
for the cessiou of Alaska. Iu this re
spect I may refer again to the need of
definitely marking the Alaskan boun
dary where it follows the one hundred
and forty-first meridian.

I renew the urgent recommendations
I made last year that the congress ap
propriately confer upon the federal
courts jurisdiction iu this class of inter
national cases, where the ultimate re
sponsibility of the federal goverment
may be involved, aud I iuvite action
upon the bills to accomplish this which
were introduced iu the senate aud the
house.
Iu my inaugural address I referred to
the general subject of lynching iu these
words:
'“Lynching must not be tolerated in a
great and civilized country like the
United States. Courts, not mobs, must
execute the penalties of the law. The
preservation of order, the right of dis
cussion, the integrity of the courts and
the orderly administration of justice
must continue forever the rock of safe
ty, upon which our government securely
rests.”
This I most urgently reiterate and
again invite the attention of my coun
trymen to this reproach upon our civili
zation.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The all-important- matter of an inter-
oceanic cauai has assumed a new phase.
Adhering to its refusal to open the ques
tion of the forfeiture of the contract of
the Maritime Caual company which
was terminated iu Octoffer, 1899, the
government of Nicaragua has since sup
plemented that action by declaring the
so-styled Eyre-Cragiu option void for
nonpayment of the stipulated advance.
Deeming itself relieved from existing
engagements the Nicaraguan govern
ment shows a disposition to deal freely
with the canal question either in the
way of negotiations with the United
States or by taking measures to promote
the waterway.

TAX REDUCTION AND TRUSTS.
After reviewing the condition of the
treasury showing a large surplus the
message recommends that congress at
its present session reduce the internal
i revenue taxes imposed to meet tiie ex-
| penses of rhe war with Spain in the sum
| of $30,000,000.
In my last message to the congress I
called attention to the necessity for
: early action to remedy such evils as
might he found to exist iu connection
with combinations of capital organized
into trusts, and again iuvite attention
to my discussion of the subject at that
time. Restraint upon such combina
tions as are injurious, aud which are
within federal jurisdiction, should be
promply applied by congress. ,
PHILIPPINES AND PORTO RICO.
After dwelling at length on his in
structions ro the Philippine commission
the president says:
It is evident that the most enlightened
thought of the Philippine islands fully
appreciates the importance of these
principles aud rules and they will inevi
tably within a short time command uni
versal assent.
In every division aud branch of the
government of the Philippines it there
fore must be observed that no per sou
shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop
erty without process of law; that pri
vate property shall not he taken for pub
lic use without just compensation; that
iu all criminal prosecutions the accused
shall enjoy the right to a speedy aud
public trial.
Iu dealing with the uncivilized tribes
of the islands the commission should
adopt the same course followed by con
gress in permitting the tribes of our
North American Indians to maintain
their tribal organization and govern
ment, and under which many of those
tribes are now living in peace and con
tentment, surrounded by a civilization
to which they are unable or unwilling
to conform.
The civil government of Porto Rico,
provided for by the act of congress, ap
proved April, 1900, is in successful op-

AUTHORITY TO INCREASE ARMY
After reviewing the need of troops
the message says it must be apparent
that we will require an army of about
60,000, and that during present condi
tions in Cuba and the Philippines the
president should have authority to in
crease the force to the present number
of 100,000. Included in this authority
should be given to raise native troops in
the Philippines up to 15,000.

The message dwells at / considerable
length on the census and recommends
that cougress, at its present session, ap

tion.

Albert Cox Make* a Proposition
Build One.
Atlanta, Dec. 4.—The feature of the
proceedings of the house today was the
killing of the Atlanta depot bill, the
vote being S3 for aud 69 against the
measure, A less than required for its
passage.
In the senate, however, the depot
question was a very live one, Albert
Cox, an Atlanta lawyer, making a prop
osition to erect one.
Mr. Cox’s proposition is that lie will
build a depot to cost §300,003, provided
the state will pay him, at the end of i&
years, the sum of §144,000 for the prop
erty.
Will Not Make an Exhibit.
Raleigh, Dec. 4.—Secretary Bruner
of the state board of agriculture, which
has heretofore made exhibits of the
North Carolina state resources at expo
sitions, says it is now impossible to
make a worthy exhibit at the Pan-Amer
ican exposition and will urge the board
to arrange immediately for exhibits at
the St. Louis exposition. He says at
least two years is necessary to prepare a
proper exhibit, particularly of agricultu
ral products.

THE NEW STORE.
HONEST CLOTHING
We know only one class of Clothing—worth a full one
hundred cents on the dollar, at which we price it. They
are garments built for comfort, service and style, and sold
with your money back if you want it. From this standpoint
1
of excellence it is impossible for us to give greater bargains
than we are now prepared to offer. Visit our new store.
