Charlotte. N. C., April 25,-To/an Ob
v*. reporter to-day Dr. J. H. Me
vj,n. president of the Southern Cotton
Spinners' Association, said that he had
of no developments regardingjlie
proposed strike of cotton mill operatives
0 n May !•
HO you think the operatives ki the
?ou , will strike if ordered to do so?"
* the strike is ordered by President
Gompers of the Federation of Labor, it
is 1 kcly t# be general,” he replied. "That
evpry section of the country will be
affected bv it. Xdo not think there has
pern much organization among the
roiH people, except in the cities
town*. aud 1 am sure that
mo st of the organization has been per
fected in recent moths—since the Burling
ton strike. The union seems to be strong
in Raleigh, Burlington, Greensboro, Con
vord, Gastonia and in Charlotte, but there
Bfp not many members of the union
among the operatives of mills in rural
districts. At McAdensville, for instance,
,],o operatives are not members of the
union, and declare that they will have
nothing to do with the strike, and opera
tes m other country places have a sim
ilar feeling."
"Have you received any notification, of
ficial or otherwise, of President Gom
pers' demands-"
Compere Wants Recognition.
•No The only thing Gompers wants in
the" whole business is recognition of him,
in his official capacity, and this recogni
tion ho Will never receive front Southern
mill owners.”
And the operatives?”
"Oh if they 'are forced into the strike
the only reason they can or will assign
p ,hat they wish a reduction of the laßor
Pours. The strike will be the greatest
mistake that could be mad© by operatives
in this Country."
In common with other manufacturers
in this section, Dr. McAden is not at ail
alarmed over the prospect of the strike.
The market is against the manufacturers
now: but they made money last year and
their financial position is such that they
<an < it her continue to run on short time.
b- at present, or else, if they are forced
to do so by the strike, they can shut
down altogether without overmuch con
cern about the ultimate outcome of labor
conditions and a bad market.
Taking a surface view of the situation,
the mill owners and operatives here are
o contented and prosperous aggregation
ond there is nothing to Indicate an ap
proaching economic storm. Disaffection
will come from without, and not as the
result of local conditions.
SHIPS OF THP VIBOIMA CI. ISS,
Urpnrtmcnt Stay Increase Armor
Thickness and Site of Guns.
Washington, April 25.—The Navy De
partment has about concluded that the
new battleships of the Virginia class
shall have armor <Jt six inches thickness
in casemate and from seven to eleven
inches side armor. This is about the same
as the armor on the ships nosv building.
Chief attention is now being given to the
batteries of the new ships. Although no
conclusions have been reached, there is a
tendency toward substituting Beven-ineh
suns in the broadside batteries in place
of six-inch weapons. It is said that this
change would permit the broadside guns
to penetrate one-inch more armor than
at present, at a range of 3,000 yards and
will materialily increase the effectiveness
of the guns in other respects.

A STORY OF THE KLONDIKE.
Terrible Experiences of a Party of
Goldseeker*.
Chicago, April 25.—A special to the Rec
ord-Herald from Victoria, B. C., says;
A terirble story of the fate of a party
of six gold-seekers in the Copper river
country comes from Dawson, where the
only survivor of the little company has
arrived. The party left Seattle three
years ago for Copper river, and, accord
ing to this man’s tale, the treacherous
Valdes glacier claimed one of the party
for its own. He disappeared in a Assure
in the ice, descending a distance of seven
ty-five feet, where he became wedged be
tween walls of ice. He remained conscious
and gave final instructions to his com
panions, who were powerless to assist
him.
The next misadventure was on a raft
which was tossed over Thundering rapids
and broken to pieces against the jagged
rocks. The five men made a desperate
fight for life, but three of them were
never seen again. Two reached shoTe,
one of whom was severely injured in
ternally and the other with a fractured
arm. They were bereft of all provisions
and hundreds of miles from civilization.
After days of untold suffering the spark
of life in the man injured internally was
mercifully extinguished. His lone partner
for thirteen days wandered on without
food. After that his life became a blank
for a period of twelve months and when
his senses returned ha found himself
among friendly Indians.

THE “DARK MAN.”
JIM CALLAHAN IDENTIFIED BY
YOUNG Cl lAHY.
THE FAMOUS KIDNAPPING.
THE TRIAL OF THE CASE BEGINS
AT OMAHA.
Witness Testifies That Callahan Is
the Man Who Mndr Htin a Prison
er, Who Guarded Him in the House
and Who Was W ith Him W hen He
Was Released—Admits That He
Was Not Quite Positive at First
and Identified Him Largely by Ills
Voice.
Omaha. Neb., April 25.—1n the trial of
James Callahan, on the charge of con
nection with the kidnapping of Edward
Cudahy, Jr., Dec. Ik. 1900, the victim took
the stand and absolutely identified Cal
lahan as the "dark man” in the case.
After teeing of his confinement in a de
serted house, which he described minutely.
Young Cudahy was addressed by Attorney
Cowin as follows:
"You may state whether the dark man
who put a pistol to your head and made
you a prisoner, and who guarded you
most of the time in the bouse, and who
walked down tile street with you, and bade
you good-bye, when you were released,
was one and the same person.”
“It was the same man.”
"Who was that man?”
“Jim Calalian."
“The defendant here in this ease?”
"Yes, sir.” •
From this point on Callahan was re
ferred to by name and no longer by the
name “dark man.”
Callahan’* Cynieul Smile,
Callahan betrayed no emotion when the
boy said he was one of the abductors,
but a cynical smile played faintly over his
features.
Witness testified that Callahan's mus
tache was stubbier at the time of the
kidnaping than it is now.
Attorney Haller cross-examined young
Cudahy for the defense. Witness admit
ted that he had gone over the case with
Gen. Cowin with reference to his tes
timony. He again told of the route trav
ersed, as nearly as she could tell. He ad
mitted that the only direct view he had
of the dark man's face was when he ap
proached him. He admitted that at that
time he was pretty badly frightened and
said he could not have Identified Callahan
from “simply seeing him.” He said the
police told him they had a matt in jail
and wanted to see if he could identify
the prisoner as the dark man. He ad
mitted that he identified Callahan prin
cipally by his voice, and said he would
not be able to identify him by his appear
ance alone.
In answer to a question the boy said
he ivas as certain of the identity of Cal
lahan as he was of the identity of his
father or mother. He thought it hardly
possibly for there to be another voice
like Callahan's. He said Callahan had a
sort of a brogue and gave a peculiar turn
to some words and sort of talked through
his teeth. The boy admitted he was not
positive as to his identification of Calla
han at the close of the first interview in
the chief's office, but after a second sit
ting, was positive in his hjenlitication. •
WASHINGTON (GA.) NEWS.

the Cold on the Crop*.
Washington, Ga., April 25.—Mr. W. H.
Chase, a well-known citizen of Washing
ton, died yesterday of paralysis. He had
been a paralytic for a number of years,
and though unable to walk, managed the
affairs of a large plantation. He was a
brother of Mrs. H. C. Kemme of this
place and an uncle of Mrs. Harry Lee
Jones of Macon.
Crops and fruits throughout the county
have endured many hardships fi;om the
reeent unfavorable weather. Some cbtton
has been planted, but not enough up to
suffer material injury. Young corn is bad
ly nipped and much replanting will be
necessary. The fruit trees have been in
jured. though to no great extent.
A shrewd white man of good appear
ance was in Washington for several days
this week artd managed to circulate a
number of counterfeit half dollars. The
counterfeit coins are much lighter than the
genuine half dollars and can be easily dis
tinguished. The man left yesterday.
The City Council, at their last meeting,
decided to wage a vigorous warfare on
blind tigers. A fine of not less than SIOO
will be imposed upon any violator of the
prohibition law.

Wa> cross Grand Jury Jumps u This
# Institution.
Waycross, Ga.. April 25.—1n their pre
sentments the grand jury report finding
the books and vouchers of J. A. Jones,
treasurer, neatly and correctly kept, show
ing overpaid vouchers to the amount of
$4,259.04. The County School Commission
ers’ books are likewise found correct,
showing a balance on hand o*f $102.85.
The books and records of the county
farm show expenditures of $3,079.49 from
April, 1900 to April, 1901.
The clause in the general presentments
that has caused the greatest amount of
discussion is the report relating to the
poor farm. The committee appointed to
investigate the farm was composed of E.
M. Cribb, R. J. McQuaig, D. G. Miller,
J. R. White, R. G. James, W. B. Craw
ford, W. S. Booth.
They append an exhibit showing thp
value they place upon the property at
the farm as follows:
Land and improvements s2.u<> 00
Forty-three head cattle 300 00
Two mutes 250 00
Sixty hogs 00 00
One horse 75 00
Corn and other products 100 00
Farm implements 150 UO
Total $2,935 00
The committee say In their report:
"After a careful investigation we find
that the farm has only seven inmates that
are entitled under the law to share the
pauper fund. That the farm is maintain
ing at a heavy expense to the county
twenty-five people in no way entitled to
participate in the benefits of the pauper
fund, and that the farm Is iielng used as
an industrial home for the benefit pf a
limited few instead of being used for the
purpose for which it was originally in
tended.
The expense for maintaining the farm
is large, largely out of proportion in com
parison with the number benefited,
amounted last year to something over
S3,OU).
We learn that the County Commission
ers. without any legal authority so far
as we are able to discover, have claused to
be erected upon this farm an academy
costing at a liberal estimate about $300;
this academy is not only patronized by
the indigent children of this farm, but
largely from outside sources, nil of which
we insist is wrong in practice and in
principle.
It Is wrong in practice, for it is an ex
travagance to erect u building of this
proportion and maintain it for the pur
pose of educating the few children that
are inmates of this institution, when
some spare room -syf the farm building
could have subserved the same purpose
It is wrong ill principle, in that it
brings in daily contact children of in
dependent parents with those that aie
dependent, and this association is not cal
culated to lift up to the higher plane the
young anal pliant minds of the children
whose narents are self sustaining. If this
practice is legal, the county will be called
Ul>on to erect school houses ln all other
districts, that the children of all these
citizens might share the liberality of the
county alike.
We also find that the county farm is
in no way self sustaining; its expendi
tures largely exceed it sinc-ome and the
benefits given. As it stands to-day it is
an octopus that is drinking up the taxes
of the people and giving assistance and
succor to a very limited few.
ln the light of facts recited, and of the
further fact that it is costing this county
more to sustain the pau|ers of the coun
ty, end only a few participating, than it
did formerly when a much larger num
ber shared its liberality, wo respectfully
recommend that the farm and all prop
erty Incident thereto be disposed of to
the best possible advantage, the proceeds
of the sale turned back Into the county
treasury, and some mors feasible plan
formulated by which our |>aupcrs may be
taken care of upon a more oconomical
basis.
There has been much talk pro and con
Indulged ln slncie the reading of, the re
port, and jt remains to be seen what
steps the commissioners wili take in t|ie
matter, whether they will dispose of the
farm as directed by the grand Jury, or
continue as heretofore, ignoring the rec
ommmendation of the grand jury.
They recommend Judge J. fl. Williams
to succeed himself as Judge of the City
Court, and Indorse J. Walter Bennett for
solicitor of the City Court: that the sal
ary of the City Court judge be changed
from $1,20) to S9OO per annum, and re
queat the representative to urge the pas
sage of an act affecting this change.
It is recommended* that the County
Commissioners donate $25 to the Imfustrial
Home at Macon, Ga., to be paid out ot
the county funds.

thies ol Southern People Ire With
Democratic Parly and Will Re
main So.
Washington, April 25.—Representative
IJvlngston, who, notwithstanding his re
cent illness, has kept track of the politi
cal situation in the South, expressed him
self on that subject to-day:
"I am not surprised to hear expres
sions from some Southern men favorable
to the jiolicies of the Republican party.
Among the bankers, railroad men, cotton
manufacturers and others interested *n
big business enterprises in the South,
there are some w ho believe in the policies
of the Republican party. They believe in
protection, expansion and liberal expendi
tures for public improvements, and a pol
icy for the development of industries and
the extension of trade ami commerce.
“The negro question has kept them in
the Democratic party, but that question
out of the way, they are Republicans in
their theories. I am not surprised, there
fore, to bear from men in those states
where the negro question has tn a meas
ure been eliminated, express themselves in
favor of the Republican administration.
As the negro question is made less serious
to our people such expressions will be
come more common and more open, and
the Republican party may acquire a re
spectable character in the South, though
I do not think that party can dominate in
Southern states-. I think a majority of
our people in the South believe in ex
pansion, though not in imperialism.
“Business is developing and foreign
markets are sought.
"Some of our peg-pie believe that the
iwssession of the Philippines means a
gateway to tiie Oriental trade, and cot
ton manufacturers and cotton planters
want a market for their products and
look in that direction for development.
I think a majority of our |>eople have
no objection to the retention of the Phil
ippines under a territorial form of gov
ernment. They do not want a territory
held under a colonial form of govern
ment outside the constitution, and they
do not want any of these, islands, the
Philippines. Porto Ktco or Cuba admitted
to statehood under existing conditions,
but they have no objection to the islands
we have acquired being held as terri
tories, just as other territory has been
held for forty or fifty years. They would
be satisfied to hHve independents republics
created with .the Installment of trade re
lations of mutual benefit, or to have ter
ritories made of the islands under the
constitution.
“The South has been struggling along
for years trying to build up its Indus
tries, and there exists a strong senti
ment in favor of the encouragement of
the industries which have been and are
being developed. Our people have
seen other sections of the
country enjoying prosperity un
der the protection which has been
given to their products. 1 think I see
a tendency within the Republican party
to modify the protection policy and this
may counteract the development of Re
publicanism in the South. Protection
sentiment in the South must be a large
factor in making Republicans of mill
who, while believing In Republican |>olt
cies have been associated with the Dem
ocratic party and tf the Republican party
abandons or modifies its protective policy
that might counteract what would be
gained by that party by the gradual eli
mination of the negro question.
1 do not believe that the Democracy
can be overthrown in the South, but
the Republicans may gain strength and
respectability througm the relief of the
pressure on the negro question if the
old Republican |x>licy of protection is ad
hered to.”

man was uninjured and when he returned
he said:
('Why, Charley, I didn't think that of
you; aren't you ashaffied of yourself?”
The next instant Huffman was grabbed
by the big elephant and thrown to the
bottom of the river and held there by the
forefeet of the animal. Then with a great
roar the elephant ran away. Several
show men shot at him. with no effect. He
broke down fences and roamed about in
a big field, keeping everybody at a dis
tance. Apples louded with strychnine
were thrown near him. and he ate one.

terrible agony. A rifle shot finished him.
“Big Charley" weighed over three tons,
was valued at SIO,OOO, and in his lifetime

London, April 26.—William T. Stead, ln
an interview with a representative of the
Dally Mail yesterday, said:
“The Boers are calculating upon Eng

or upon some other international compli
cation. If lam not mistaken we are on
the verge of a storm across the Atlantic

“When the United States Congress

torn Into shreds and flung In our faces.
We shall have to choose between lighting

"The first serious discussion of the
possibility of such a war will do more
to keep the Boers In the Held than all the
speeches of all the pro-Boers in exist

COMMON ERROR* ABOUT THE MOON,
Explanation* ot Ita Real Movement*
t**atcd hy Mistake la Fasbnrgh
C-aac.
From the Boston Transcript.
The Transcript's explosion of a moon
theory in the Fosburgh case, on Its edi
torial page of February 4, exposed au
unusual specimen of the many senseless
things continually published about that
luminary, from persona who fairly may
be. called well educated. An Associated
dispatch of January 31 had reported
Prosecuting Attorney Gardner as saying
that on the night of the murder tho
moon was in Its last quarter, far down
the southwestern horizon when the shoot
ing occurred.” That is to eay, the moon
in its last quarter was nearly setting at
■.nout 1.30 in tho morning!
The movement on the moon from "new”
to "old" and its puatt lon in the sky at
any hour of day or night might be ex
plained and Illustrated in the schools in
a single month, not over 15 minutes being
devoted to it each day, ending with the
request that the pupils look for tbe moon
that night, and note ita form and ita
place in the sky. On cloudy nights, of
course, them can be no observation.
Some would take but a languid interest
in the lesson; others would be incapable
of taking it tn; but in general they would
glow up ejear of such foolishness as ia
often pitifully exhibited in conversation
nnd in public print. Nothing need bn
taught ot the satellite’s varying distances
from the earth, its aphelion, its peri
helion or Its nodes. Not an- astronomical
term need be used. All one need know
for cvery-day use can be shown on a
simply physical basis, and be under
stood from what can be seen.
All will understand that at the hour
of (he new moon It cannot be seen, b>-
c.tusc th ? sun Illuminates only its aide
opposite from us. That it falls behind
the sun in its setting, day by day— gets
fuither to the left of it each evening,
lit ns say-until about 48 hours after the
Instant of the new moon It is far enough
out of the sun’s glare to be seen as a
thin cresent of light, on its right edge
!.*' us call it. and not speak of east and
west on the satellite’s surface, nor of
Its north or south limb. Some new moons,
when first visible, have the crescent
rather on the lower edge than on the
right; but this makes no difference in
the plan of explanation.
Each evening as the sun sets the moon
is more to the left of tt—higher In the
sky—and the light on Hs right side grows
more and more O'er it* surface. About
seven days rfter It wns "new” It 1h at
the highest point of its nrched course
through the heavers at nearly the time
the sun sets. Slid the light han epresd
over half the moogfe face. It rose at
noon and was visible all the afternoon—
If the sky was clear, of course—climbing
the eastern heavens, but pale, until at
sunset It becomes lustrous. It ts now at
the completion of Its first quarter. Still
day after day H is seen further eastward,
the, light extending more and more over
Its face, until tt is a full moon. This cout
jdfltes Its second quarter. It now risen
not far from Ihe time the sun sets. (This
1s nor for the reader’s enlightenment,
perhaps, but to suggest simplicity of In
st ruction.)
From this lime the light on the moon
begins to pass around to the side away
from the earth. It passes over the loft
edge and shadow begins creeping upon
tiie right edge, where the sun's light
formed a crescent the first few evenings
of the new moon. It Is now In the third
quarter. This darkness on the right In
creases nightly; each rising of the moon
Is later, as It is iu all tts phases, until
It rises at about midnight. The left half
of its face—a quarter of its entire sur
face-1* still bright an ever. The last
quarter begins and the time of rising
is not far from midnight. There should
he no need of reference to the almanac,
to learn that when the moon Is In its
last quarter at an hour or two after mid-.
night, as it is sold to have been ln the
Fosburgh case, It cannot arrive there
until late ln the forenoon of the coming
dny. In the middle of the last quarter
It 1* seen mounting the eastern sky In
the rooming about four hours ahead of
the sun, very slender and wan, and
K sets ln the middle of the afternoon.
It now rises nearer to the time of sunrise
each morning, the sun's light upon it
shrinking closer upon Its left edge. The

but the morning old moon.
Even tn “Jane Kyre"—a book with not
another blemish irv details of natural
phenomena, so far as I could ever see
you find this same blunder about the
moon, and never have I seen noticed tn
the mile* of columns and page* written
relative to that notable story during the
54 years of It* life.' In her desolation
Gateshead, Jane nits alone peering loth
the meaning of the pictures In a book of
plates. Jane tells the render:
“I cannot toll what sentiment haunted
the quiet, solitary churchyard, with Its
inscribed headstone. Ha gate. Its two
trees, it low horizon, girdled by a broker*
wall; and its newly risen crescent at
testing the hour of eventide "
It la clear that If the crescent was
“newly risen." It had risen not at even
tide. but before Hie sun. In the early
morn. If tt was evening, the creecent
was within an hour or two of setting.
A newly rlaen crescent never "attested
the hour of eventide” since the creation.
