Although it was 2 o'cock this morning before the Em peror of Germany, after enjoying last nigb't's magnificent performance at the Royal Italian opera, went to bed at Buckingham palace, he arose at 7 o'clock and soon after left his apart ments for a long bracing canter in Rotten Row, the famous "swell" ride ia Hyde Park. The Emperor's ride lasteduntil 9 o'clock when he returned to Buckingham palace and in company with the Empress received deputations from various German social and be nevolent societies of London. The Emperor received these .deputations in the most courteous manner,patlen'tly listened to their addresses of welcome and briefly replied to them. After this ceremonious portion of the visit had been gone through with satisfactorily, the Emperor chatted freely and pleas antly with the. delegates, who were charmed with the young ruler's frank, open behavior. Later in the evening the Emperor received a deputation, consisting of a number of the German army reserve officer j, who are engaged in business in this and other cities of England, and who consequently make their homes in this city, while remain ing loyal to Germany and willing to obey a call to rejoin their standards should the war trumpet summon Ger many to arms. . j Brussels, July 9, The great strike of Beigian miners, which has been in progress for the last seventy days, was brought to an end today. : The Couocil of-Kaights of Ltbor has decided in favor of a general resumption of busi ness and'4, 500 men went to work this morning-i The remainder of the men who have been on a strike, will resume their employment tomorrow.

The German gov ernment has informed M. Rlbat. Min ister of Foreign Affairs that the relax ation of A' sace-Lxrraihe passport re gulations, which was ordered at the time of the recent Swiss railroad disas ters, in order to enable friends and rel atives of the dead, wounded or missing to seek for or attend victims, has been made permaneut. Dublin, July 9. The Parnellite pi ess is exceedingly down cast over the result of : the Carlo w elections. The Freeman's Journal says that there is now no more chance of getting home rule for Ireland than there is of get ting tne moon. The electors, the Jour nal adds, have abandoned their inde pendence for British party ire. The conservative Dublin Express says that the Eoglish will learn from Car low that "the Irish tet ant farmer, when not actuated by insane land hun ger,is a puppet in the hands of the Ro man Catholic triests and as unfit to be an elector as if he were an infant or a lunatic." -The McCarthyites are jubilant. , hf Rttpmac A vopc Tulir Q Thei-u Vi a va been fresh revolutionary disturbances in several parts of the country. The Government is taking vigorous meas ures to quell the threatened revolt in the provinces of Entre, Rios, Cordohi, and Catamarca. St. Petersburg, July 9. It is temi-cfficially announced that if the harvest proves a failure, the govern ment, cooperating with the public authorities, will provide ample means to ward off anything like a general famine. Large government stores of grain maintained tor military pur poses can b? distributed in the dls tressed regions. The minister cf the int-nor is preparing for an expected f carcity and has sent offi cers to make a tour of the threatened district. Enquiry is also proceeding in grain centres to ascertain how far it may be necessary to restrict tne ex portation of corn. The latest reverts from the grain districts are reassuring. The reports made to the Government represent the present inflation in prices as largely due to speculation. It is probable that the Government will intervene in order to put an end to the artificial embarrassment in the markets. Vienna, July 9.

Trouble Between White and Colored Itllners. i OskaloOSA, la.. July 9. Consider able excitement exists at Evans, five miles west of here, over the advent of colored miners to take the places of the white strikers. Yesterday a constaoie. also a striker, attempted to arrest a colored - miner; Charles Johnson, for disorderly conduct. Johneon picked up a car link ana proceaea to resist me officer, inflicting serious wounds. He was arrested by others, tnea anu bound over to the grand jury. There upon Johnson's friends took possess sion of the court and held the officers until Johnson escaped. Twenty five or thlrtv shots were fired but no one was .Ml . 1 hurt.

Doctors Southwlclt and Daniels Pro nonncethe Execution of the Four Men at Sins Sins a Success There Was No Burning of the Flesh The World's Statement Pronounced '- -. a tie. - , ! Buffalo, N. Y., July 9. Dr. South wick and Dr. Daniels, both of L whom witnessed the Kemmler executioa, returned today from Sing Sing where they witnessed the electrocution of the four murderers on Tuesday. "The executions were a success in every way," said Drl South wick, "and there was not the slightest hitch. Electric execution, has come to stay. These executions has demonstrated that the method is humane." "Do you say that all four died instant ly?" t ' "Yes Sir. They died the instant that the current reacned them. It was ab solutely a painless death?" 44 Why was the second shock given?" "To prevent the muscular exhibition that was noticed at tbe Kemmler exe cution." '"Was there any burning of the flesh?" "There was not. There was & slight scald,raising a white blister, and that is all." He denounced the evening World's statement that Smiler's body, when it reached New York,showed burns, as a downright lie. "How can you be sure, doctor, that the men died instantly?" "I'll tell you one very satisfactory test. Slocum way praving when he died. So was Wood. The others said nothing, but I particularly observed Slocum. He was saying 'Lord haye mercy on my soul.? When he received the shock, he had just said the word my and started to say soul. A syllable sound of the V was made but the word 'soul' was never uttered. ; The syllable was cut in two."J "Another indication," continued Dr. Southwick, "was the appearence of the men's features at death. They were un disturbed. I suggested that the v should close their eyes so that the salt water from the electrode on their foreheads should not run into their eyes and give them needless pain. They did close their eves. That action made a cer tain contraction of the features. That contraction was there after the men were taken from the chair There was not a single person who saw the execu tions but said they were instantaneous and painless and a humane method of producing neath. Sixteen hundred volts were given." "The executions were an unqual ified success in every way," said Dr. Daniels.. "The men had no sensibility of pain and they died in stantly. The execution demonstrated that the electric method is quick, pain less and humane. There were no sounds of burning do odor of burning flesh, nothing whatever that would re volt any spectator." Dr. Daniels also spoke of one the men praying and reaching the hissing sound of'VVwhen the shock came. "It cut the syllable in two," he said, aiid "not another sound came from him. I look upon that as a supreme test." DIRECT TRADE FOR THE SOUTH. A Line of steamer to be Put on From Newport News to Europe Promising Outlook for Southern Ports. Baltimore, Md.. July 9. The Man ufacturers'' Record of this week says the Chesapeake and. Ohio Railway com pany has closed a five year contract with C. Furness, one of the largest steamship owners in England, for three regular lines of steamers from Newport News, .Va., to Liverpool, London and Glasgow, and . also for occasional steamers to H& re . and Antwerp The6e will be the first regular Euro pean steamer lines from t-.ny port Eouth of Baltimore. Heavy engagements of grain, provisions, flour; tobacco, lum ber and live stock are being made in the West for export by these t-teamers, one order for sixty thousand bags of flour having just been booked in St. Louis and another of 54,000 bags direct to Havre, said to be the largest single shipment of flour ever made from this country to that port. The steamers are' of frcm 3,000 to 5,000 tons capacity and each line will send out a steamer every ten days, making about nine or ten steamers a month, on three regular lines.' The Manufacturer's Record says that the "establishment of these three regular steamship lines from Newport News to Europe must mark the begin ning of a great increase of the South direct tra e with Europe. The starting of these lines, backed by the Chesa peake and Ohio Railroad will stimulate other great Southern railway systems to turn then attentiou to the estab lishment of lines from Norfolk Wil mingtnn. Savannah, Charleston and other ports. All the indications point "to a very marked development of Southern seaports. THE PRESIDENT AT THE SEASIDE.

It Is Not Endorsed by the Farmers' of New England and New York They Favor Independent Ac tion In the Old Partv. Springfield, Mass., July 9 An extended canvass by the New England Homestead shows that the new Peo ple's Party isnotendorsed by the farm ers of New England and New York. The men interviewed were all promi nent farmers.: While some favor more indepencent political action than here tofore, nearly all oppose the idea of special Farmers' party. The proposi tion of new issues of paper by the gov ernment on land values, is looked upon as a wild scheme. The free coinage of eilver has a small following. The opinion in general is that the farmers a" C Al movement in ims section oi me coun try will consist more in independent action through the old parties than in forming any new party.

Raleigh's Chances Good The Real Estate Room at the State Capital Land Selling at $4 a Foot The Charge Against Clarence Rusbee No Stock In Tariff League. . Messenger bureau, I i Raleigh. N. C, July 9, f The great sale of real estate which took place yesterday afternoon at Idle wild, surpassed even the most san guine expectations. It commenced at 4 p. m. and from the first the bidding: was most spirited. At 6 o'clock a very heavy rain set in which required a pestponement until . this afternoon. Among tbe bidders were several; from the Northwestern States. The sales aggregated $10,300. Prices ruled high, especially corner lots reaching $4 a foot. ' y - The members of the committee to se lect a site for the proposed Odd Fel low's Orphan Asylum, started out to day on a tour of inspection of the sites offered in different sectioi.8 of the State. They will make a most careful investi gation into the fitness of tbe various local ites, taking into consideration mainly the burroundings as to health, access, &c. They will visit Wilming ton on Friday. It is understood that Raleigh's claims are looked upon with much favor-. Your correspondent had an inter-, view this morning with Clarence Bus bee, the unfortunate young man now in custody here, charged . with f embezzle ment. He says that he was acting in the capacity of confidential clerk, for the Buena Vista Saddle and Harness company. His g alary was small and in order to keep up he would occasion ally take small sums varying from $1 to. $5, which, in some cases be charged against himself, and in others did not. On an examination into his accounts, he found that he had exceeded the amount due him between $150 and $200. He notified the President of the com pany of the shortage, stating that he conld not ascertain the exac. amount. He says he left :or New York with a small sum of money hoping to obtain employment by means of which he could make good the de ficit. He failed in this, and made his way towards home. On arm iDg in Norfolk he was most kindly treated by MaiJ John Win der, Superintendent of the Seabord Line, and his wife. Maj. Winder aided him m getting home and gave him some most excellent advice. The young man seems to be deeply peni tent, and rather appears anxious, than otherwise, to return to Buena Vista, without awaiting any formal requisi tion froai the Governor of Virginia, 'it is expected that an officer from that State will arrive here to day.1 The health of Raleigh was never bet ter at this season than at present.

The rush upon the clerk of the Superior Court for certificates to par ties who paid the direct taxt-s con tinues. At the Executive office the private secretary is besieged all day with anxious expectants. The Governor is extremely anxious to hear from Mr. Busbee, who is in WashiMgton lookmg after a check for tbe much desired balance of $26,218. A dispatch from him is boutly expected, and. whether favorable or not, payment of claims will soon commence. The new addition to the Yarboro House is fast approaching completion and will become a "part aud parcel" of the hotel some time before the Exposi tion opens. Several other houses in the city, suitable for the purpose, are in course of repair and alteration for the accommodation of guests. Raleigh will be fully prepared to take care of all who come. The County Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction will hold a competitive examination in a day or so for appli cants to fill a vacant scholarship in the Agricultural and Mechanical college, from Wake. The "new idea" of a tariff league, which was started here several days since, is meeting- with poor success. None but original Republicans have yet loined, and the invitation for all re gardless of former party affiliations, does not seem to be acted upon with that alacrity expected. Outside of National office-holders, there are but few who "take stock" in the move ment. JudeT, C.

Mcjver, presi dent-elect of the industrial Bchool to be established in Greensboro,1 is here to day in the interest of the North Caro lina i University Alumni Scholarship fund provided for at the last com mencement. He is having good suc cess, and the plan of founding scholar ship by the alumni promises to be a fine one. It Is generally known that Dr. George T. Winston was ' elected president of Cornell Alumni Association; it is not generally known, however, that in ad dition to this great honor, he was the lever of the day at the Cornell com mencement, and to-day your correspon learned by means of persons who at tended the Harvard University com- menoemencement, that at that great institution President Winston was also a prominent figure, and made the best and most popular speech of the day at the commencement banquet.Great god will doubtless result to the University from President Winston's northern tour. W. H. W. " CommuEloattd.1 Over-Production ot Cotton. Editor Messenger: It is somewhat notorious that South erners are, with a lew exceptions, on the bull side of the produce market. No one is more sensible of this or more closely allied to the producing element than the factor or commission merchant Traders in all wares are exuberant and spirited when quotations are firm, and down hearted and morbid when prices are dull and downward. We all lose our equipoise, but the shipper stands pre-eminent as being nervy and plucky to hoia tor a price. Hope springs eternal in the human breast," and the more close the contract with nature the stronger it springs. 1 Not once in a season does the middle man get in struction, "Sell for the beet price you can," but more usually. "If vou don't think the market will do better," or noia lor nine cents; the ginner said mine was the best cotton he had ginned this season." The man who crosses his legs over the table at the Exchange and says to the incomer as he scans the late post ings, "How you like 'em?" Has the benefit of association to bolster him up and the bank to back him? But the til ler of the soil from the time he burns blackjack to make ashes to fertilize his crop, even before the per simmons have all dropped, follows his own thoughts as well as his mule to the end of summer, cogitating on what price he is going to get, and is not to blame for being opinionated and firm in the be lief that prices will be good. At least he feels that they ought to be, and has little eLte to cheer him than the neigh bor whom he always manages to get to his end of the row to see, if he has to give his mule an extra slap with his -plow line to get there in time. Of late it is a lamentable fact that the farmer goes along down hill with prices, down in the fall, up in the spring picking his flint to try again. The Alliance has been of advantage to the people who stirs the soil to cre ate tbe basis for all our trading. The producer never thinks that prices are growing lower, he ' holds for a rii-e, for a fall, never. They should always be satisfied to produce and let the specu lator speculate. With the stiff sea breeze puffing up the murkey Cape Fear, our commission men fight away at checkers intheeven iog, their morning hours occupied in shipping the material which makes the brain and muscle of man and beast as they till the mother earth. Cotton is no longer king, the weight of Its empire is crushing the life out of it. ' Legislation is our only hope. Can't the law say only cultivate cotton half of each week, and out down the crop two- thirds. Is the Alliance equal to a solu tion of the problem I We think not. The sub treasury bill iust now would rnV be very, popular prices are not always low in the fall and high in the spring. Farmers, statesmen, heroes, poets. solve the problem of over production if you can and let us know the remedy Transportation may glory in big crops. but to the farmer we say woaghl CUPIB.

The Chllllan steamer Itata Seized Aarents Appointed to Secure In formation About the Seal Fish eries In Alaska for the Uni ted States Other News from Washington. Washington, July 9. The investi gation instituted by First Comptroller' .uauhews has resulted in the discovery that the State of North Carolina i- en titled to 826,218 mo'e than was origin ally allowed on account of the Direct Tax act. The mistake was the result of an error in the calculation made nearly twenty years ago when the question of the refunding of this tax was first considered by Congress. A committee report was prepared giving the amount ea-h State would receiye, through such legislation. Ac cording to this report, which until now has never been correoted, North Caro lina was given a credit of $377, 836.43, and about a month ago the claim of the Governor of the State for that amount was allowed by the accounting officers. At that time, however, one of thl clerks in tbe Fifth Auditor's office, wlhere the accounts are kept, reported that a part of the tax collected from individuals had appa rently been omitted in the settlement of the case. Investigation showed this to be the case and that the State's proper quo to was 1404,054. Judge Matthews says steps will be taken to pay the balance as soon, as the necessary formalities shall haye been complied with. San OrEGO. Cal , July 9. The pen alty of $500 which the Treasury depart ment has demanded of the steamer Itata for leaving port without clear ance papers, has not been paid yet, but will probably be paid soon. Marshal Gard seized the Itata yesterday and placed an officer in charge. This act was necessary in connection with the libel proceedings commenced by the Uoited States District Attorney. It is now understood here that the attorneys had adyised Captains Mauzen and Tejeda to pay the fine at once in order to get the vessel released from the cus tody of the custom officers, and before Marshal Gard could seize the Itata, to get out of San Diego harbor as quick as steam would carry her. Upon receiv ing this advice it is reported Mauzen returned from Los Angeios and tele graphed; to Tejeda, who returned at noon yesterday. Meantime Mauzen and other officers of the Ituta had re turned to the vessel, none of her crew had been allowed ashore. At 10:30 in the morning, however, Marshal, Gard and a Deputy stepped aboard the Itata and seized the vessel for violation of the neutrality laws and carrying off United States officers. Mauzen is said to have been crestfallen upon the ap pearance of the Marsail and awaited Tejeda, who hastened to the ship im mediately upon the arrival of the train and held a consultation with Mauzen. No further steps were taken in regard to leaving the harbor. Had the Itata got away before the reseizure much delay would probably have resulted be fore the Charleston could get under way to chase her again aad by that time the Itata possibly could have escaped. Washington, July 9. Alonzo A. Hinton has been appointed United States Gauger at Greeosboro, N. C. In order that the Government of the United States may be fully prepared with all the necessary technical infor mation respecting the actual state of the Behring Sea seal fisheries, and the effect of poaching in the probable event of any arbitration, the President has decided to send two agents to Alaska to gather the necessary information. He has named Professor Mendenhall, Chief of the Coast and Geodetic Survey,' ana Professor Merriam, ornithologist of the Department of Agriculture, as agents of the United States. Professor Mendenhall has accepted but Professor Merriam . is now out in the field in Southern California and the Depart ment of State has been unable to com municate with him. Their mission will be similar to that with which Sir Geo. Baden Powell is charged in behalf of the British Government. As seal ing in season is already so far advanced the utmost expedition will be re quired on the part of tbe agents to serve the purpose of their appoint ment. special Uoticcs.
