C, as Second Class Mail Matter, OUTLINES. New Orleans had a $40,000 fire yes terday. Exports of specie from $ew York during the week amount to 4,703,062, all gold. A bill was in troduced yesterday iruthe British House of Commons prohibiting British sub jects catching seals in Behnng sea for a certain period. The latest con cerning the Chilian vessel Itata is that she has gone to Melbourne, Australia, having transferred her munitions of war to the Esmeralda. Chilian insur gents threaten to bombard the city of Valparaiso; but it is believed that foreign powers will intervene to prevent it. Secretary Blaine is about the same Surgeon "General Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital Service, has re signed that position, and will be suc ceeded by Walter Wayman. Chas. B. Rouss, a wealthy merchant of New York city, has given $7,500 to enclose Mt. Hebron Cemetery, Winchester, Va., with an iron fence; over 4,000 Confed erate dead are buried in this cemetery. Judgment has been rendered in Court in favor of Jas. A. Bryan, plaintiff, for the recover' of land on Trent river, on which negroes were settled by Federal authority in 1862. New York markets; Money easy at 2 4 per cent, closing offered at 2 per cent; cotton easy; middling uplands 8 cents; middling Orleans. 8 5-16 cents; Southern flour dull but steady; wheat firmer, with a fair business, chiefly for export; No. 2 red May $1 12 in store and at elevator; corn opened firmer and closed easier and moderately active; No. 2, 6667 cents at elevator; spirits turpentine quiet and steady at 88 3- cents; rosin steady and quiet; strained, common to good, $1 60. While Blaine is nursing the gout Harrison is getting in his work in the Bearing sea racket. The story that Blaine's mind is becoming impaired is contradicted. Premier Rudini never believed it. A drought prevails over a portion of Louisiana and Mississippi, which is becoming a serious affair. Corn and cotton are already seriously in jured. Somebody over in Germany has learned that Thomas A. Edison is wri;ing a novel which is to be dra matized. This will be a shocker if Thomas throws himself into it. The New York World says that during Parnell's visit to this country in 1870, he fell in love with a Rhode Island girl, but the affair was broken off. Maybe she didn't have any fire escapes on her house. A young man who was wanted in Louisville, Ky., for some crooked ness was found in the Indiana peni tentiary, where he was quietly serv ing a seven years sentence, under an assumed name, for forgery. Suppose after the United States and England have agreed to prohibit seal fishing in Behring sea for a stated period, Frenchmen, Germans and others conclude they will go in and take a few, what then? A Frenchman has invented a bill posting machine, but what the Phila delphia Times says is wanted is not a machine for posting bills, but some one to invent a goat that will not paw the bills down and eat them. Leonidas C. Houk, the Tennessee Congressman, who was killed by an accidental dose of poison a few days ago, was a cabinet-maker by trade. He read law in 1859, then went into politics as a Republican and was five times elected to Congress. Educated heels pay better in this country than educated heads. Car mencita, the Spanish dancer, who was so poor when she came to this country two years ago that it took two of her to make a shadow, has raked in in clean cash $50,000. A 650 pound woman died a few days ago in New York. For three months before her death she couldn't move without assistance, and when she was buried it took the assistance of sixteen ablebodied men to depo sit her comfortably in the grave. There are very few Japanese in this country and as a general thing they are of the better class, who are welcome. In San Jbraricisco, where there is a very decided feeling against the Chinese, there was none against the Japanese, but recently a disreputable class of women has been coming, and this is leading to some feeling against the Japanese. 1 HE VOL. XLVIII.-NO. 59. The New York Herald has come to the conclusion that we don't want any more "labor from abroad." But our statesmen seem to be laboring under the impression that the right thing to do is to legislate to keep the products of foreign labor dut, but keep the gates open and let for eign laborers come in without iimit to compete with home labor. If the American navy depended upon American seamen there wouldn't be any American navy. As an illustration, out of 215 men on the cruiser Omaha only forty are Americans, the remainder being English, Irish, French, German, Scandinavian, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

As the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation regard it as one of its" principles to do nothing to conflict with the regu lar work of the churches, announcement is made that it becomes necessary to close the Sunday-afternoon meetings for the present, since the various churches have begun to change to their summer schedules, thus taking up the entire af ternoon. The meetings have been of unusual interest during the past winter and have been instrumental in bringing a number of young men into active participation in religious work who would not other wise have been drawn out. They have also been the means of bringing some young men to decide to lead a new life. The meeting to-morrow afternoon will be the closing one for the present, and it is hoped there will be a large at tendance, as it will probably be an in teresting occasion. The meetings will be begun again at the earliest practicable date in the fall. Weather Forecasts.

Reports from One of the United States Consuls in Japan. An official report from the United States consul at one of the larger Ja panese ports has been published. Con cerning rice he gives the following: "The reports concur in estimating the yield of rice this season as unusually large; 173,701,500 bushels is a good average crop, but this year as much as 248,145,000 bushels will probably be pro duced. If this estimate be realized, the quantity of rice available for export will not be far short of 74,443,500 bushels, which is believed to be more than America and Europe can possibly take and is about ten times as much as the largest export hitherto made in any one year from Japan." This would seem to indicate a livelier competition than usual between the two Carolinas and the "Japs." But the superior quality of our rice will enable it to stand pretty strong competition with inferior grades. Sudden Death. Mr. Jacob F. Garrell, steward at the City Hospital, dropped dead yesterday about 12 o'clock noon, while in attend ance upon his duties at the hospital. The cause of death was heart disease. Mr. Garrell was a Confederate Veter an a member of Southerland's Artillery Company and a faithful soldier.

Annual Meeting Election of Officers Resolutions Adopted, Etc. The annual meeting of the Ladies' Memorial Association took place at the Hook and Ladder Hall yesterday after noon. About thirty ladies were present and the meeting was quite animated. Several resolutions were offered and adopted first that resolutions be drawn expressing the deep regret the Associa tion feels in the loss of their beloved and efficient President, Miss Hettie James, who positively declined are-election although the vote for her was unanimous, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to her, and also be placed in the archives of the Associa tion. A vote was taken to send the sum of $50 for the National Monument being erected to President Davis, most of this amount having been collected for the Medallion fund. Also voted, a formal vote of thanks to be sent to Rev.' Dr. Patterson, with a small gift from the Association, as a slight testimonial of their appreciation of his coming to them at this time. Also, that the money raised for the N. C. Soldiers' Home be sent to Raleigh to Mr. Beasley for that purpose. Resolved, That Col. John L. Cantwell be invited to serve as Chief Marshal permanentlf. Miss Hettie James declining a re-election for President, Mrs. John Hedrick was elected to that office. Mrs. James Stevenson was elected Vice President, Mrs. Gaston Meares Treasurer, with Mrs. T. E. Sprunt as Assistant Treas urer, and Miss E. Kate Burr Secretary, with Miss Mary Cowan as Assistant" Secretary. The election of Managers was neces sarily postponed for a later meeting, which will take place early in June. The resolutions referred to above are as follows: Whereas, Our zealous and greatly esteemed President, Miss Hettie James, who has served the Association so faith fully for the past twelve years, and man aged its affairs so successfully, declines a re-election, again unanimously tender ed her; and whereas, the Association is desirous of placing on record their high appreciation of her sterling qualities of head and heart, be it therefore Resolved, That in accepting the re signation of their late President, the Association deeply regrets this action on her part, as she had served them so long and so well that they had cause to look up to her as their counsellor and guide in all matters connected with their organization. Her unselfish devotion to the interests of their Association, her unwearied zeal and tireless energy, and her great administrative abilities are seen in the successful workings of the Association, and the harmonious action of its members. Of her it may be truely said "she hath done all she could," and it has been well done, faith fully, untiringly, in good report and evil report. The severance of official . ties which bound the members -of the Asso ciation to their ex-President cannot be easily sundered, nor can they be broken without a pang. Resolved, That this Association ten der their late President their assurance of their great respect, and their warm affection, and their hope that she will still continue to give them the benefit of her wise counsel and enlarged ex perience. Resolved. That Miss Hettie James, our late President, be elected an active and honorary Manager of this Associa tion, for the term of her life; that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Association and that the Secreta ry furnish her with a copy of the same. The New River Excursion. A gentleman, who for the pleasure of the trip, a short time since spent an after noon on the route that will be taken next Friday by the New River Excur sion, says that he was very pleasantly surprised. The thrifty farms and homes along the way, the one glimpse of white breakers and ocean in the distance, the large native growth of timber all are refreshing and varied. As the train stops on the banks of the river one can but be delighted with the appearance of the bright clear water and beautifully shaded banks. If next Friday proves to be a favora ble day, all who go can be assured that they will be well repaid for their trip, and refreshed with new and varied scenery. The train will leave from the foot of Queen street at 2 p. m., and re turning will arrive at the same point at 8 p. m. The Adventist Evangelist. Rev. John A. Cargile will deliver an address to children at the Advent Church at 3 o'clock .this afternoon.

Mr. Cargile's subject bunday morn ing will be "The Opening of the Seven Seals and the Signs of the Approaching End." Subject for Sunday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, will be "Why am I an Ad ventist." Mr. Cargile will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday night. He will leave for Alabama soon afterwards. Mr. Car gile is an . able exponent of the Scrip tures, and his visit to Wilmington will be long remembered and cherished. Market quotations from S. H. & E. H.

Some Very Kind Words From Wade Harris, of the Charlotte "ITews." Mr. Wade Harris, of the Charlotte News, who is a frequent visitor to Wil mington during the Summer, has the following pleasant words for our seaside resorts in a recent issue of his paper: "The gateway of the finest seaside resorts along the Southern coast those reached through Wilmington, has been thrown open for the season, and already people are flocking there. The accom modations this season are much better than they have yet been. Fourteen daily trains run between Wilmington.Wnghts ville sound and the Hammocks, while two elegant boats ply between the city and Carolina Beach and Southport. Capt. Jno. Harper is in command of an elegant new steamer the Wilmington, and it makes convenient trips to and from the beach. A first class hotel is" now open at the Beach. At the Ham mocks, the hotel is in charge of Mr. Hunter, a hotel-keeper with a record, and he has already thrown open his doors to guests. Capt. Manning, pro prietor of Atlantic View, has had ap plications from a number of people, and already has a nice crowd in his house. A better prospect is ahead of the Wil mington resorts this season than ever before." BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta R.
