[Special tu Reflector. | Wasuineton, N.C., Jan, 20.—In- terest in the trial continues to hold on well, although the crowd at times on Saturday was not so large as upon some ‘jother days. Only eight witnesses were put upon the stand that day. Evidence given in by Wyatt and Robert Best corrobated what Mrs. Best said when she was being examined. The chiet witness for the day was M. J. Fowler, chiet of police of Washing- ton and a general detective, who has done much in working up the evidence in the case. His testimony was looked for with interest by everybody. He corroborated the testimony of Credle a3 to the confessions made to him (Fow- ler.) ki, S. Simmons, counsel for Brantley, was very severe in his cross-examina- tion of Fowler, but the detective did not lose his self-control and gave sub- stantially the same testimony on both direct and cross examination. Mr. Sim- mons being blind adds interest to his examinations. Soon after court opened this morning the State rested its case and testimony for the defense was begun. Several witnesses were put upon the stand and it was proven almost conclusively that Criah was at a dance .from 8 to about 1 o’clock on the night that Credle claims they all met and were swornin. This was about the substance of the testimony |. given in this morning. Further de- |velopments are looked for with inter- est.

It is reported that England’s cabinet has concluded to re-open diplomatic correspondence with Venezuela, through some American re- public other than the United States, which, if done, would be a direct snub to this country. But here is the trou. ble in regard to the report, it might be construed as a back-down by England as she has already sent her ultimatum to Venezuela. Besides there are other reports — that seriously couflict. So that heard Germany has nearly every report is can be disposed of, ovcupied Kngland’s closest attention recently over the congratulatory mes saze to President Kruger, of the Trans- vaal republic, by Emperor: William, of Germany, thereby moditying Eneland’s. attitude somewhat toward an arbitration of the Unined States-Wenezuela affair. Their moditication has also been brought its government to go slow and not have too miiny irons inthe fire. But when the excitement over. the message cf Emperor Wiiliam sabsiles, semtimeny on the Venezuclan question may revert to the original determination not to allow the United States to interfere. The commission appointed by President Cleveland have had two meetings and are now thoroughly organizedand ready for business. The commission has decided that they will haveto visit Venezuela and several European countries to ob- tain access to documents bearing on the disputed boundary line. In an ticipa- tion of their visit to Venezuela, Presi- dent Crespo has appointed a commission to confer and assist them in their delib- eration at Caracas, and Holland offers her assistanee in their researches at The Hague. The Commissioners say it will take them about four months to complete their investizations and in the meantime England will have plenty of time to carry out any plans she may now really contemplate.

Last year there were 245, ° Of these 20 are dailies, 170 weeklies, 32 month- lies, 5 semi-monthly. © There are 112 Democratic, 12 Republican, 7 Populist, 9 Farmers’ Alliance, 10 independent, 5 independent Democratic, 11 educa tional 28 non-political, 31 religious, 1 fraternal, 9 not classified. Raleigh leads with 23. This report shows that the ne wspapers of the State are keeping pace with the general progress being mude in manu- facturing and agricultural pursuits. In saying this we do not mean to be witty, for really the “keeping pace” is the other way. The newspapers are tak- ing the lead, and if all the papers in the State were as much in earnest as some are, the State would be a. new country in ashort while. For many years most. of the Noith. Carolina newspapers were run for fun, ih > i SAE a Seale, be fd ‘ liad The National Democratic Executive | There are. about by the English press counseling: the paper was.conducted by the same management depended upon the amount of money the editor eould expend in| working off a practical joke. The’ peo- ple generally entered into the spirit of fun with some enthusiasm and rarely ever refused to take the paper from the postoffice, but only in exceptional “ cases would they back up their interest in the joke with cash. After awhfle the editor would quit sowing his wild oats and settle down and begome a good ctuzen. Then some other man, generally a young one, «Would start another newspaper enterprise and keep itupafew months and the people would have all the tun they could stand while it lasied. Most of the papers were stricily party organs. The party they 1epresented wa8 as pure as the morning dew, but the other party was a hideous eruption on the top side of the earth. | That day is over. Many of our news- papers are permanent enter- prises and the editors are making a pre- business carious and hazardous living out of them, We all find it hard to get. out of the old ruts, and harder still to edu- cate the people up to the true value ot a newspaper. But we are slowly, but surely doing it. After a while the leay- en will leaven the whole lump, and ey- ery family will realize that they must have at least one or two good papers, ant they will not hesitate to pay for them. The people will soon learn that a good couniy or State paper is worth more than a great sastitution of learn- ing In any country in the State, and we are not deirac.ing from the ‘value, of colleges. It costs from two to: tour thousand dollars a year to ran a good county paper, and then the editor and printers only make a bare living, but if eight-tenths of the families in any cour try would subscribe and pay for the papers the cost of it would be a mere (rifle as compared to its value. People sheuld learn that it is just as important to pay for a hewspaper as itis to pay for shoes or any article they buy. ‘The publishers of papers are largely respon- sible for the carelessness of the patrons, and we must adopt better business inethods in order to build up the papers ond substantial basis and keep they there, some of the editors in the State are angels, but many of thei conduct clean, truthtul, independent néwspapers. If the people will pick out such only as are worthy of patronage, the dross will soon disappear and the newspaper profession will be benefited thereby.— Progressive Farmer, IF > YOU HAD A LOAD OF WOOD LO .

I thus killed two birds with shore, and relieving the boat of my weight, thus enabling her to ap- proach land near enough to let the captain jump ashore dryshod. I had painted a Norwegian flag on a large box, which we fastened on a | strong pole near the place where we landed, and leaving the rest of the crew to be entertained by the pen- guins I proceeded alone to investi- gate the peninsula and to make ccl- lections. I found seaweed on the beach, but whether it had grown on the shores of Victoria Land remains to be ascertained in the future. I believe that..Cape Adare is the very place where a future scientific expedition might stop safely even during the winter months. From the spot where we were several ac- cessible spurs lead up to the top of the cape, and from there a gentle slope runs on to the great plateau of Victoria Land. The presence of the penguin colony, their undisturbed old nests, the appearance of dead seals (which were preserved like Egyptian mummies, and must have lain there for years), the vegotatioy of the cape above, all indicated that here is a place where the powers ©! the antarctic circle do not disi> the wholo severity of their for : Neither ico nor voleanoes scein:t 7 Eave raged on the poninsaia at C2» Adare, and I strongly recomuicnd a future scientific expedition to choose that place as a center of operations. On this particular spot there is am- ple space for house, tents and pro. visions. I myself am willing to be tho leader of a party to be landed either on the pack or on the mainland near Colman island. From there it is my scheme to work toward the south magnetio pole, calculated to be in latitude 75 degrees 5 minutes, longi- tude 150 degrees east. Should the party succeed in penetrating so far into the continent, the course should, if possible, be laid for Cape Adare, there to join the main body of the expedition. As to the zoological re- sults of future researches, I expect great discoveries. It would indeed be remarkable if on the unexplored Victoria continent, which probably extends over an area of 4,000,000 squarg miles, there should not be found animal life hitherto unknown in the southern hemisphere. It is, of course, a possibility that the un- known land around the axis of rota- tion might be found to consist of is- lands joined only by perpetual ice and snow, but the appearance of the land, the color of the water, with its soundings, in addition to the movements of the antarctic ico, point to the existence of a mass of land much more extensive than a mere groun of islands.
