The estimated cost of - the sugar bounty to be paid manufacturers is $11,- 134,200. Active measures for the relief of famine sufferers in Russian provinces are being taken.

A newspaper correspondent de scribes ex-Senator Ingalls as "a slender symphony in gray." We suppose this is a substitute phrase for an attenuated ''statesman out of a job." . v The Chicago News don't like the word "electrocution." It is bad enough to have the life shocked out of one by an electric current, but to be electrocuted is horrid. Everyone will object to that. .The Philadelphia committee which has been investigating the Keystone bank bust have discovered some things but they have not yet discov ered the hole into which the. missing milhon dollars of State money , went. Mr. Parnell announces that the Carlow defeat doesn't affect- him in the least. It would take about four pounds of dynamite, or eighteen hundred volts of electricity to shake up a man so far gone in stolidity as Mr. Parnell. The New Constitution of Ken tucky makes a direct pass at the free pass system, and deposes from office any judge, -State officer, or legislator who accepts a pass. But the new constitution hasn't passed yet. - . A Canton, Ohio, dispatch says "Maj. McKinley seems to be a very happy man nowadays." The Major is sensible. He should grab all the fun in sight before he starts for that gloomy country of political shades up Salt River. ' A ten-pound chunk of "gold" wa picked up in Indiana a few days ago, and the whole country thereabouts is in the wildest excitement. The Hoosiers are grasping at the hope that if they can pick up ten-pound lumps of gold they may weather the McKinley tariff. The Philadelphia Press, Rep., re marks that "the Republican party does not tolerate thieves, and quick- ly disposes' of them when known. It takes it a mighty long lime to be come acquainted with , some of its distinguished lights, for it seems that there are a good many of them that it doesn't know yet. The coolest proposition of the season - comes from the airy city of Kansas, Mo., where a company pro poses to furnish cool and pure air for so much a square foot, arid do an honest square business. With this inducement the Republicans should look upon Kansas as the city above all others for their next na tional convention to meet in. The Heathen Chinee is no slouch when it comes to catching on to the tricks in the country where he plants himself. One was arrested a few days ago in New York tor passing counterfeit money, but the prosecu tion failed because the principal wit ness could not distinguish him from a dozen or so other child-like and bland Mongolians who were trotted into court. . The Buffalo, N. Y.. Courier says the Germans in that town are against cheap money." Eastern phrase tor silver. There must be-some mis take about this. We never saw a German who wouldn't take all the money a mule could haul if he could ?t it, without making unnecessary objections. They are a good deal "e otner tolks m this respect. It is said that a huadred thousand Americans have sailed for Europe this summer from the port of New xrk alone. This means about $100,000,000 of American lucre scattered among the denizens of the effete monarchies for Americans abroad have the reputation of being cry lmeral cash squanderers. . 11 HE VOL.

A one-wheel cycle, eight feet high. that a greenhorn can "learn to ride in a minute, and then write his name in the dust with it in fifteen feet of space, not to mention a speed capacity of two miles in sixtv seconds on a good track, is something that is1 likely to astonish the bicycle riders of Wilmington erelong, The Springfield, Mass., Republican says that it is the invention which Victor Beranger. of Worcester, editor of Le Currier de Worcester, claims to have produced after two years of hard work. Last week, he says, his brother in Montreal rode the phenomenon seventy three miles in one hour on an ordinary highway. A Venerable Time-.Piece. Mr. E. 5. Tennent, of this city, has an English silver watch which is certainly o an heirloom to be prized. On the inner ease ls the inscription, "Edward len nent,' 1718." This shows that the watch is at least one hundred and seventy- three years old; and it may be older, as it is bv no means certain that the in scription Was not made earlier that the year 1718. At all events, it is old enougn to stop running, wind up business, and never raise its hands to work again. Cotton Region Bulletin.

All Present and Accounted For--Gen. 1 i Cotton Takes Command General OrdersPreparations to Receive the Virginia Regiment Col Anthony's Luck Clergy in Camp Dress Pa radeLady Visitors, Etc. Brigadier General John W. Cotten. having arrived in camp late on Friday night, did not assume command until yesterday morning, when he took en tire control of Camp Fowle, and issued the following orders for the government of the troops pi the brigade : Headquarters First Brigade, N. C. State Guard, Camp Fowle, Wrightsville, N. C, July 17th, 1891. General Orders, No. 1. Until further orders the hours of ser vice and duties will be : Reveille, 5.45 a. m.; assembly, 6.00 a. m.; surgeon's call, 6.10 a. m.; battalion drill, 6.15 a. m.; recall from drill, 7.15 a. m.; breakfast. 7.30 a. m.; guard mount ing. 8.30 a. ra.; adjutant s call, 9.30 a. m.; dinner call, 1 p. m.; instruction of offi cers and non-commissioned officers, 3.00 p. m.; battalion drill; 4.30 p. m .; re call from drill, 5.30 p. m.; supper, 6.00 p. m.; dress parade, 7.00 p. m.; retreat, sunset; tattoo. 10.00 p. m.; taps, 11.00 p. m. I 11. Regimental commanders will see that the calls are promptly sounded at the time designated, and that all forma tions are made without delay, i By command of Brigadier General John W. Cotton. J. W. Wood, Capt. and A. A. General. Camp Fowle, N. C. July 18, 1891. General Order No. 2. Being in full command of this camp, all orders governing the same will be issued from, and all official reports and communications must be forwarded to these headquarters. - All reports j must be in writing and forwarded through their proper chan nel. By order of Tohn W. Cotton. Briga dier General. H. W. Jackson, Acting A. A. G, Camp Fowle, N. C, July 18, 1891. General Orders No. 3. Each soldier in this camp must con duct himself in a manner becoming a soldier. No noisy or 1 disorderly con duct, or the discharge of any firearms will be permitted in or about the camp at any time. After taps absolute quiet must prevail throughout thecam p. Sentinels will not be permitted to challenge or call the number of their posts in so loud a manner as to disturb the camp. Permission to leave the camp up to 11 o clock will be granted by regimental commanders. When longer leave of absence is de sired application must be made to brig ade headquarters. All officers must cause the arrest and immediate return to camp of any sol dier who shall condnct himself in any improper manner, or be guilty of any disorderly conduct either in or out of the camp. i All commanding officers will imme diately instruct the men under their command as to these orders, By order of Tohn W. Cotten, Briga dier General. H. W. Jackson, A. A. A. G, These are the orders, that have thus far been issued by Gen. Cotton, and he seems determined that they shall be faithfully executed. He, as well as all the members of his staff, are active and vigilant in their oversight, of 'even the most minor details and the camp has been brought to as high a degree of dis cipline as could reasonably be expected from a citizen soldiery who, in a great maiority of instances, look upon it all as a holiday pastime, instead of as a training school to prepare them for future possibilities. However, there is but little vulgarity or rowdy ism in camp, and if the pre sent condition ot things continues Camp Fowle may be well set down as a model for future encampments to copy. We are sorry to hear, however, that out of camp some of the men have" be haved in a reprehensible manner. Gen, Cotton has, however, heard of this un seemly conduct, and will at once take effectual steps to put a stop to it. BRIGADE STAFF. The brigade staff is composed of the following officers: Assistant Adjutant General, Capt. J. W. Wood; Assistant Inspector General. Capt. W.E. Newland; Assistant Quartermaster, Maj. C. W, Jeffries; Assistant . Commissary of Sub sistence, Maj. W.W.Hall; Aid-de-camp, Lieut. H. W. Jackson; Aid-de-camp, Lieut. Wm. Landis; Orderly to Brigade Headquarters, W. S. Howard. During the forenoon Adjutant Gen eral .Glenn, of the Governor's stoff, is sued the following SPECIAL ORDER : Camp Fowlb, N. C, July 18th, 1891. Special Order No. 2. Major Kobert S. Young, Assistant In spector General, is hereby detailed on eciai duly as instructor and inspector !guard duty. He will be obeyed and respected accordingly. By order ot the commander in chief, . Jas. T. Glenn, Adjutant General. . Official: W. E. Schenck, Capt. and A. A. G. THE VIRGINIANS. Capt. J. R. Tennant, Quartermaster of the First Virginia Regiment, with a, detail of six men, the regimental cooks and a colored barber of fully 250 pounds avordupois, together with the regi mental camp equipage, arrived at Camp Fowle late Friday night, and were as busy as they well could be yesterday in preparing for the arrival of the regiment this morning. Capt. Tennant spoke in the highest terms of the camp ground which had been assigned his regiment, and also of the' open and frank hearted courtesy that had been shown him by our troops, and was sure that the regi ment he represented would be pleased with every arrangement that had been made for the comfort and convenience of the regiment. Capt. Tennant we found to be a very clever, courteous gentleman and, al though he was up to his eyes in hard work, he found time to respond pleas antly and cheerfully to our questions, which were, of course, very brief and to the point. A LUCKY OFFICER. Col. J. T. Anthony, of the Fourth Regiment, seems to be as lucky as he is good looking, although he has been to a slight degree a loser, thns far. In the floor os his tent there is quite a large hole and "all unbeknownst" to the Colonel an opossum had taken up his residence unperneath the floor, and, on the night of the Colonel's arrival in camp, some luxury in the shape of some thing to eat had been placed in his tent during his temporary absence for him to eat on his return. His 'possumship, however, smelt the tempting food and without the fear of Col. Anthony, or a trial before a justly constituted and outraged military tribunal, jumped from his hiding place, and gobbled up the food, "quickern scat." It was not known until then that there was such a boarder, beating for a living at head quarters, but investigation demonstrated the fact, and now his marsupial excel lence is fed at regular intervals with the best the market affords. It is not from any kindness towards the animal that all this care and regard is shown, but it is the intention of Col. Anthony and his officers to have a feast of fat 'possum about the time the Encampment breaks up, and we hope they will not miss the treat; but "the best laid schemes of mice and men gang oft a gley." We hope that he and his officers may have a pleasurable feast from that 'possum, but would suggest' that delays are danger ous, and Mr. Possum may think his food is altogether too good and seek other pastures and a homelier fare. THE CLERGYMEN. Besides the Rev. N. Harding, Epis copal, of Washington, N. C, chaplain of the First Regiment, of whom we made mention yesterday, the following clergvment are either in camp or at Ocean View : Rev. A. G. McManaway, D.

D., Epis copal, Wilmington, Chaplain Second Regiment, in camp. Rev. H. M. Dixon, Presbyterian, Mon roe, in camp. Mr. E, L. Harris, General Secretary of the Y.. M. C. A. at Winston, is also in camp. THE WALTERS' TROPHY. Col. Benehan Cameron, Inspector of Small Arms Practice, issued a special order yesterday in compliance with sec tion 17 of General Orders No. 6. for colo nels of regiments to hold their commands in readiness to begin rifle practice on Monday, the 20th inst., so that each regiment will have a day's practice at the targets during the comiug week, be ginning according to lot or agreement, and at the same time competing for the handsome "Walter's trophy," presented to the Guard as a token of its value as a conservator of the peace and a protec tor of property. The prize is a large sil ver shield, representing scenes from Milton's "Paradise -Lost." The contest will be before a board of judges com posed ot the four regiment inspectors of small arms practice, under the super vision of the general inspector S. A. P. The trophy will be awarded to the com pany making the highest score, allowing TAR WHOLE NO. 7,706 five rounds to each man at 200 yards from the shoulder, with a maximum score of 25 to each man. The prize is to be held, however, by the winning company only from year to year by a similar exhibition of superior skill and merit in rifle practice. The presentation will be made in due time and form, ' THE NJEW ARRIVALS on Friday night were nearly all of the nrst, intra ana rourtn Kegiraents, tne; Second Regiment having arrived Thurs day night and Friday morning.

It was witnessed by a large number of ladies. The general staff and field officers were out to witness it. A pleasant feature of the drill was the presence of the Governor's Guard Drum Corps. They looked very well in their handsome uniform. The Second Regi ment Band was also out and as usual rendered some very appropriate and lively airs. .
