Shanghai Dispatch, 6th. Peking advices announced the death today of Yuan Shi Kai, president of the Chinese republic. At a meeting of the cabinet a feel ing of confidence was evident that the government would be able to main tain order. The opinion was expressed here to day that the death of Yuan Shi Kai might have an unfortunate effect on political conditions and that it was most inopportune for the southerners. Negotiations were on the eve of suc cessful completion on the basis of the retirement of Yuan Shi Kai in favor of Li' Yuan Hung and the formation of a coalition cabinet in which the south erners expected to obtain a predomi nating position. The southerners were to guarantee the safety of Yuan Shi Kai and his monarchist partisans. The death of the president, which under the constitution will result in the succession of Li Yuan Hung, robs the southerners of all grounds of hos tility to the north, hut it also leaves them nothing with which to bargain for power. for use in the. general election to be held on the first Tuesday in Novem ber, 1916, as follows: Democratic Ticket.

London Dispatch, 6th. , The news that Earl Kitchener, sec retary of state for war, and his staff, who were proceeding to Russia aboard the cruiser Hampshire, were lost off the Orkney islands last night, was the most stunning blow Great Britain has received since the war began. This is the second shock the country has sustained within a week. The other was when the newspapers of Friday evening told of the naval bat tle in the North Sea, publishing a list of the ships lost with virtually no in timation that there was an compen sation in the way of enemy losses. Kitchener was the one outstanding personality whom the people believed is as a great man. A telegram from Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, commander of the fleet, giv ing the bare facts, was received at the admiralty about 11 o'clock in the morning, ine hrst omcial announce mentwas issued at about 1:30 in the afternoon, but before noon rumors were spreading and newspaper offices were busy with inquiries -anxious to know whether vague reports had any foundation. They were told there was nothing in them. Admiral Jellicoe's report to the ad miralty follows: "I have to report with deep regret that his majesty's ship Hampshire, Captain Herbert J. Savill, R. N., with Lord Kitchener and his staff on board, was sunk last night at about 8 p. m. to the west of the Orkneys, either by a mine or a torpedo. "Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind was . north northwest and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and de stroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast o search but only some bodies and a capsized boat have been found up to the present. As the whole shore has been searched from the seaward I greatly fear that there is little hope of there being any survivors. "No report has yet been received from the searching party on shore. "H. M. S. Hampshire was on her way to Kussia. BICKETT WON IN LOCAL ITEMS OF INTEREST. Important Business Transacted At Monday Night's Meeting. The town council met in regular session Monday night with a full at tendance of the board. Several mat ters of importance were taken up in addition to regular routine business. Prank Duckworth, formerly engineer at the State Hospital was elected chief of police. R. L. Ward has been serving in this capacity temporarily. E. F. Mull was elected to succeed J. M.:' Dellinger as night policeman. S. J. Ervin was chosen town attorney and W. E. Walton, mayor pro tem. The council instructed the town manager to proceed at once to get ting bids for the paving of West Union street as far as the A. G. Ly man property. The work will prob ably be begun at a very early date. Its accomplishment will mean much to the town as the street is in bad con dition at present. A sewer line was ordered laid between the John Edmon son property, now owned by E. M. Hairfield, and Avery avenue. The property owners on the south side of Avery avenue petitioned for a concrete sidewalk. The council prom ised to. take up the matter first after the sidewalk on Sterling street is finished.

It provides for the creation of five battle cruisers, four scout cruisers, 10 destroyers, 50 submarines, 130 aeroplanes, a government armor plant, and an increase of 17,000 sail ors. An amendment to the bill pro vides for navy yard improvements at Norfolk. " As passed, the bill is in substantial ly the same form as framed by the naval committee. Only a few amend ments were adopted during a week of debate and a final effort by Re publican leaders to have the meas ure recommitted with instructions to Morganton Will Probably Be In cluded in Public Building Bill.

Sites or buildings will be recommended for Wilson, Edenton, Mount Olive, Mount Airy, Lumberton, Lenoir, Morgan ton, Louisburg, Sanford, Marion, Dunn, Albemarle, Williamston and Clinton, Wadesboro and Rockingham.

The State Board of Elections met in Raleigh Tuesday, but because of the length of the ballot and some delay in sending in vote from some locali ties it has announced that the official vote will probably not be ready to4be given out before Friday. The gen eral results known now are based on the reports which are gathered from newspaper dispatches. For Secretary . of . State , Bryan Grimes, present incumbent, won over Jas. A. Hartness of Iredell and Capt. Clark of New Hanover. While the re ports have not shown a clear major ity for Grimes which the final count may show he is so far in the lead that his nomination is conceded. Even if Col. Grimes has not a clear major ity Mr. Hartness, who is second in the race, will not ask for a second trial. B. R. Lacy is renominated for btate Treasurer, M. L. Shipman for Commissioner of Labor and Printing, J. R. Young for insurance commis sioner and W. T. Lee for corporation commissioner.

More than 1,000 mines have been washed ashore on the Holland coast. In almost every case they were an chored mines which had broken loose from their moorings. The Dutch kept small warships on the lookout for them and these destroy them. The huckleberry season is on in the eastern counties. This is one crop that is practically all profit.

The Greensboro News yesterday stated that Tuesday afternoon's storm damaged the home in Greensboro of Mr. Max T. Payne, formerly of Mor ganton, but did not say to what extent. the second man is not clear. In the seventh district L. B. Rob inson of Anson county led with U. L. Spence of Moore next. They will doubtless contest in a second primary. In the tenth district Zeb. Weaver of Buncombe appears to have won over all opposition Judge Justice, Sol Gallert and Frank Hewitt. In this district on the Republican ballot the race between Jake Newell, of Charlotte and Chas. E. Greene, of Bakersville, was the center of much interest. Reports indicate that Greene has won though it is not known what his majority is. several hundred invited guests from the town. The beautiful grounds of the institution made a lovely setting for such a party. A luncheon in courses was served. Immediately fol lowing the fete the entertainment by the school was given in the chapel. Dr. Thomas W. Lingle, professor of of Modern Languages at Davidson, occupied the pulpit at the Presby terian church Sunday morning in the absence of Rev. C. E. Gregory, the pastor, who is spending some time at Loven's. Dr. Lingle is a scholarly man and an excellent preacher. The Presbyterian congregation were for tunate in having him preach for them.
