tltt JWcrtmug tat WILMINGTON. N. C Saturday Morning, Aug. 25. 1894 GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheat, Corn and Oafa Lower Pork Pro ducts Firm and Higher at the Opening, But Closed Lower. r.v TcletTuDa la the Horning Star Chicago. August 24. Chicago wheat was weak to-day. but the trade was only a scalping one at best, with some chang ing from September into December, which served to keep traders occupied. Elevator men were all seiiers of the lat ter month and buyers of the former. Put" holders did their utmost to re cover the money they expended on these privileges last night, and in the main, were successful, although the close did not indicate any gain on the investment. The price went below "puts" several times, but rallied on purchases made against them. Partridge bought consid erable wheat, presumably to cover previ ous sales The increasing Northwestern receipts indicate that the spring wheat crop is on the move, and from this time forward until the bulk of the grain is out of the way attention will be directed to the arrivals in that section. Dec'em w ber wheat opened from 57c to 57 S 57c. sold down to 5757Jc, closing at 57457JgC under yesterday. Cash wheat was in good demand at a decline of 1 ; c from yesterday. Corn It was a quiet day in corn, values tending downward. The trade was neither active nor interesting, privilege holders doing most of the business. May corn opened at CSc, . sold between 52c and 51c, closing at 52)i52c ,MC under yester day; Shippers were the best buyers of cash corn at prices averaging lc lower than yesterday. Oats got into line with, wheat and corn to-day. For several days past there was an individual strength in the market, but it was absent to-day. May oats closed c under yesterday. The in quiry for cash oats was not urgent. Prices ruled J?c lower than yester day. Provisions were up on the light run of hogs and higher prices for them at the opening to-day. The Anglo-American Packing Company made an effort to force prices upward but two English shipping houses offered quantities enough to break the market. At the close January pork was 12Jc under yes terday; January lard 7c lower, and January ribs 5 to 1c lower. SPOTS AND FUTURES Total Net Heceip's of Cotton at the Porta New York Sun's Review. By Telegraph to the Morning Star New York, August 24 The follow ing are the total net receipts of cotton at nil the ports since September 1, 1893 : Galveston 1,011,304, New Orleans 1,882, 841, Mobile 213,951.

The New York Sun says : Cotton opened one point lower and then ad vanced five points, closing three points lower for the day, Spot cotton was l-16c higher here. Sales 5,791 bales (direct shipments for export), and 1,118 for spinning. Southern markets quiet.

New Orleans was at one time one to three points lower, but later recovered this and advanced one to two points. In Manchester yarns were firm and cloths steady. Liverpool unchanged on the spot, with sales of 8,000 bales. Futures one point lower, closing steady. To-day's features: Continued heavy rains in some parts of the South, a large export business, some advance here on the spot, a good dry "goods trade and some demand Irom the shorts caused the advance, but the trading was on a very light scale, and movements of prices are witbin a very narrow compass. Liver pool was less active and slightly easier; the spot trade cotton at the South is dull, and the situation in New England has not m proved.

N EARING THE END. A Resolution Passed by ,Bo.h Houses of Congress for Pinal Adjournment Next Tuesday. By Telegraph to the Morning Star SENATE. Washington, Aug. 24. The session of the Senate to-day lasted until 1.25 p. m. and then an adjournment was taken until Monday next. The general public was excluded from the Chamber during all but four minutes of the session the remainder of the time being spent be hind closed door3. There was no test as to whether or not a quorum of Senators was actually present, and, in fact, matters were so arranged in advance, by mutual agreement, that the question did not arise. The matters discuised in secret session were not exclusively of an executive character. On the contrary, eight or teu bills (three of them bridge bills) were taken from the Calendar and passed, and the concurrent resolution for the final adjournment of Congress on Tuesday next at 2 p. m. was laid be fore the Senate and passed- without a word of opposition and without a vote in the negative. The Senate then, at 1.25, adjourned till Monday. The Senate went into executive ses sion to day on motion of Senator Har ris who Wished to have considered the nomination of James D. Porter to be United States Judge. There was no juorum, and as nothing could be done except by unanimous consent, the Por ter nomination was not taken up. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House passed a joint resolution to day providing for adjournment of the present session of Congress at 2 o'clock on the afternooD of Tuesday, August 28th. Another effort was made, also un successful, to consider the Hill bill for the exclusion and deportation of alien Anarchists. An amendment had been agreed upon by the advocates of the measure, and those members who had previously antagonized it, defining an Anarchist to be a person who. advocates the destruction by force of all Govern ment or of the Government of the United States. This satisfied the ob jections heretofore made, but Mr. Eng lish (Dem , N. J ) entered an objection and the bill again went over this time probably finally for this session, Two or three unirnportont measures were passed, and alter a session of an hour the House adjourned until Monday next. THE BLUEFIELDS TROUBLE The American Population Incensed at Ar rests Made by the Nioarajruan Govern ment. By Telegraph to the Morning Star BLUEFIELDS, NICARAGUA, Aug. 17 via New Orleans, Aug. 24. The greater part of the Nicaraguan troops were to sail at 7 o'clock in the evening of the 16th on the Lulu, the coasting steamer, and the Minister, Maddriz, de cided to send with them those persons whom he thought were guilty of firing on the Nicaraguan flag. Accordingly he arrested Consul Hatch, the British Rep resentative, a Mr. Limpton, Harry Brown, an Englishman. Capt. G. B. Wilttbanks, the American who accepted the position of Judge under the Mos quito Government, and several Mosquito Creoles. A note was immediately sent to the ungiisn cruiser and the news spread along the foreign quarters. U. S. Consul Seat was notified and he called on Mad driz. The latter said these persons were going to the interior to stand trial. He could not get evidence to convict them now, but he was sure they were implicated. Consul Seat then sent dis patches to the Columbia and at 2.30 o'clock the tug was steaming towards the Bluffs. What the charges are, Mad driz does not say. He has not even informed the American nor the English consuls. The latter is charged with having incited the Jamacians to riot and bloodshed. The owners of the Lulu, when told of the arrest, stated that their boats should not leave, and thus the only transport which can stand the sea is taken from them. The commander of the Columbia is expected before nightfall and the Eng lish commander also. The American population is greatly excited, and were it not that they have confidence in their country's agents the bullet-riddled buildings would suffer an other attack. RECKLESS RIDING. 8 range Behavior of a U. 8. Army. Officer at a Sham Battle. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Meridian, Miss , August 24. Fully 10,000 persons assembled at the encamp ment grounds yesterday afternoon to witness the sham battle by the State National Guards. Several serious acci dents occurred, caused, it is said, by the recklessness of Capt. R. R. Stevens, of the U. S. Army, who is stationed in Nebraska, and who was ordered here as instructor. This officer was mounted, and endeavored to rush the crowd of spectators back by ridingat a fast speed over them. Women and children were knocked down and trampled upon by his horse. Efforts were made to dis mount him, but he succeeds in escapinng. Orders were issued by the city authori ties to arrest himat once. Strong feeling exists, and the officer will be made to answer for his reckless riding. NAVAL 8TORES MARKETS By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New YORK, August 24.

TOWARDS FURTHER IMPROVEMENT, And Brlatively Greater in the Southern States-Increased Confidence in Eastern Cities Notwithstanding Seriona Indus trial Disturbances. By Telegraph to the Horning Star. New York, August 24. Bradstreet's to-morrow will say: Serious industrial disturbances in New England, drought in the Central and far Western States, curtailing nearly all staple crops, and a disposition in all lines to continue to buy for near-by wants only, fail to greatly in fluence general trade throughout the country, the trend ol which is towards further improvement. Southwestern States, East of the Missouri, and the At lantic and Gulf States report relatively greater gains in volume of traffic and in the spread of that better feeling and con fidence in a larger volume of business in the Fall, oh which improvement in busi ness depends. Prominent among evidences of expan sion in general trade is this week's bank clearings total $820,000,000; a gain over last week of about four per cent., and over the like total one year ago, when clearings got down to about low water mark, the increase is 20 per cent. But compared with the total in the like week two years ago, this week's aggre gate clearings show a decrease of 13 per cent. It is also worth noting as a sign of the business movement that every city clearings total for the week is larger than a year ago except one. Gains in clearings at whiskey markets, Louisville; Cincinnati, Paris and Lexington have naturally been ex panded extraordinary. The greates. apparent increase in volume of business during the week is at St. Louis, Balti more. Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and San Francisco. At the larger East ern cities there is evidence of increased confidence that the Autumn will bring a largely augmented trade in nearly all stapei lines, but Baltimore is the only city in this group announcing a decided im provement. Southern buyers having placed good orders there for goods, notions, millinery and shoes. General trade at Southern cities betrays no change within a week in volume of transactions or demand, but business on the whole is relatively better than in some other portions of the country. There is a better request for lumber at Charleston, for hard ware and machinery at Augusta, rosin at Savannah and whiskey at Nash vill. Prospective early movement of cotton is expected to stimulate trade in all s aple lines. Jobbers at Birmingham, Alabama, reports a heavier August trade, so far, than a year ago, and the crop outlook in Louisiana is expected to help business interests there generally. Texas coast region crops are said to have been damaged by excessivo rains. Attempts of New Bedford and Fall River cotton goods manufacturers to re dnce wages have caused strikes and lock outs affecting nearly 30,000 employes, operating fully 3,000.000 spindles, over half the cotton spinning capacity of the country. Print cloths have advanced of a cent as a result, and the prospect seems to be for a month's suspension of operations, with heavy loss to employer and employed. IMPORTANT CONVENTION Of Southern Business Men to be Held Washington Next Week. Uy Telegraph to the Morning Star, in Washington, August 24. A practi cal attempt to develop the resources of the South will be initiated in Washing ton on Thursday, August 30th. Its basis is a Convention of Southern business men. which will begin on that day, and which is supplemental to the meeting of Governors of Southern States in Rich mond last year. Several of the Execu tives who attended that meeting will be present at the Convention, and scores ol the most prominent men will lend their co-operation to make the affair a sue cess. The programme will include ad dressess on the necessity for a public building in Washington for a permanent exhibit of the resources of all the States; a consideration of the timber resources of the South, the mineral and agricul tural resources of the South; transports tion facilities; immigration, trade, and manufactures and good roads. Sena tor Patrick Walsh, Governor Elias Carr, of North Carolina, Inter-State Cornmis sioner Clements and other prominent Southerners will deliver addresses A DESPERATE FIGHT Between a Moonshiner and a Foase of Offl cers Two of the Latter Wounded and .Likely to Die. Bv Telegraph to the Morning Stai Washington, August 24. A special to the Post from Bluefields, W. Va. says: A desperate fight occurred here this afternoon between Vinson Shrader a moonshiner, and a posse of officers As a result Chief o' Police R. H. Bald win ana Deputy Marshal crown are lying at the point of death and Shrader will probably be lynched before morning. Shrader is a Taze well county outlaw and yesterday wounded a constable who tried to arrest him at Graham. After that occurrence he took to the woods about two miles from Bluefields. Chief of Police Bald win learned of his whereabouts to-day and set out to capture him. He was accompanied by Deputy Allen Brown ahd Wm. G. Baldwin, the noted de tective, who is a brother of the Blue fields Chief of Police. The posse found Shrader's hiding place shortly be fore dark. They expected to take him by surprise, but as they stealthily approached he opened fire with a Winchester. The officers then opened on the moonshiner and a f usilade was kept up for thirty miniutes. The Chief of Police was shot through the stomach. Deputy Brown was shot in the groin. Detective Baldwin escaped injury and succeeded in arresting Shrader. The wounded men and the prisoner were brought to Bluefields. There is intense excitement here, and an immense crowd has gathered. Threats of lynching Shra der, in case either officer dies, are freely made. The Ladles.

Charges Against Taylor, the Colored Beoorder of the District of Columbia, Laid Before the President The Treasury Net Balance. Bt Telegraph to the Morning Star Washington, August 24. The case of the colored Recorder of the District of Columbia, C. H. J. Taylor, who has been charged before the Civil Service Commission with sending circulars to colored employes of the Government soliciting contributions for campaign purposes, was laid before President Cleveland this afternoon by Civil Ser vice Commissioner Proctor, who has had charge of the matter. The report made in the case by the Commission is a short one, but the testimony taken makes a very bulky document. Besides Taylor, twenty-five witnesses were ex amined. Some of these witnesses were at first afraid to testify, fearing they would lose their positions if they did so. The Commission could notjguarantee to the men that they would not be dis charged from their Government posi tions if they made statements affecting upon Taylor, because it had no power to do so, but they were informed that the Commission would exercise its influence to prevent the dismissal of any em ploye who appeared before it as a wit ness Mr. Proctor declined to say what the findings of the Commission were, but it was evident that something serious had been found in the charges, or the matter would not have been laid before the President for action, The Treasurv set balance gained $2. 500,900 to-day. standing at the close of business at $125,243,000. The gold re serve partook of the general favorable condition, this increased nearly $200,000, footing now $54,553,000. Secretary Carlisle and Attorney Gen eral Olney were closeted until 6 o'clock at the Department of Justice, studying over the hard knots in the Tariff bill, with a view to Secretary Carlisle issuing a circular letter of instructions to Collec tors of Customs, explaining its doubtful schedules, and lhe bidden meaning of wrongly punctuated paragraphs. Sec retary Carlisle is especially anxious to find some law of construction by which he can admit goods which under the present law are dutiable, now in bond but which become free under the new tariff law, into the United States free of duty without subjecting the owners to the expense of exporting them and then re-importing them. The Government would gain nothing by deciding that the duties had to be paid under the McKin ley bill, as the goods so placed on the free list could be exported and re-imported, and the owners would have to pay the expense. This point was dis cussed with Attorney General Olney at length this afternoon and their decision in the matter will probably be first an nounced in the circular letter to Collec tors of Customs which Secretary Carlisle will soon issue. . TEXTILE MILLS STRIKE. The Bimation at New Bedford Unchanged The Strike at Bun Cook, N. H., Ex tending. tliy Telegraph to tne Morniog Star 1 New Bedford, Mass , August 24. The fifth day of the great industrial battle opened with much less change of condition and look than many hoped. The rumors that the Bennett and Col umbia mills are to open their gates on Monday to allow such of their employes as desire to return to work at the reduc tion are confirmed. This is a disap pointment to those who have hoped these mills would follow the lead of the Howland corporations. There are many who find encouragement in the belief that a spirit of hot-blooded contention is slowly giving way to a recognition on all hands that the crisis is one which de mands earnest and temperate considera tion. The results of the conference of last evening were no doubt far short of the expectations of the more sanguine, but it certainly accomplished something in the direction of conciliation, and may set in motion a tram of circumstances which will lead up to a settlement of difficulties in which the rights of the parties at issue will be recognized and conserved. Sun Cook, N. H , August 24. The strike at the mills here has spread some what, and it is expected will further ex tend. A labor agitator from Fall River arrived here yesterday, and it is said that he was the cause of nearly 100 spinners of the China mill coming out at 1 o'clock. The spinners in the Webster also struck, as did three-fourths of the weavers in the Webster and about one-half of those in the Pembroke. A large num ber of others did not go into the strike. There has been no disturbance as yet. "It is the policy of the mills here" said Agent Jewett, "to follow Fall River strictly. When they advance, we do. and it is the same in regard to reduc tions. If we do not move in case of an increase the employes demand it, and we always comply. The cut here was to Fall River prices 11 per cent, and 10 per cent, otherwise. Our weavers under this will average from six to seven dol lars a week. Should they all go out, as seems probable, we shall shut down un til they wish to come back. We have been running at a loss for three months, and our storehouses are filled," HANGED HIMSELF. Willie D. Day Champion Hunn-r of the World- By Telegraph to the Mornmg Star. New York, August 24. Willie D Day, the champion runner of the world, committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree near the club house of the New jersey Athletic Club at Bergen Point to-day. Day was arrested on Tuesday upon a camplaint made by the Manhattan Laundry Co, of Jersey City, for whom he had acted as collector, which alleged that he had collected $112 for which he had failed to account. His relatives are of the opinion that, he must have brooded over the accusation and becoming discouraged, had decided to end his life. Day was the youngest son of his parents, who are. well-to-do and very well known about Bergen Point. Day held the five mile cham pionship and also the three mile cham pionship of the world lor running. The President has nominated W. E. Edmondson, of North Carolina, to be chaplain in the Navy. His nomination was confirmed by the Senate yesterday afternoon. ! Of lhe Southern Railway ana Steamship Association Old Officers He-Elected The Seaboard Ai: Line, Among Other Beads, Befnaea to Sign the Bate Schedule. By Telegraph to the Merging Star Oriental Hotel, Manhattan Beach, August 24. After a three-days' session the Southern Railway and Steam ship Association had a final meeting late this afternoon and formally re elected the old officers, and declared the regular rates schedule in force for arr other year. Inasmuch as there are eight or ten roads which have not signed the agreement. It is apparent'that all the sore spots are not yet healed. Doubt less, however, a compromise will ulti mately be reashed between the lines in interest. The chief points of difference over the tariff through the Ohio river gate way between the West and South is the bone of contention which has occu pied the attention of the Association at several meetings which have been held since the first of April, and in the face of repeated efforts on the part of members interested in 'peace and har mony, a satisfactory conclusion has not actually been reached. The officers thus continued in charge for another year are : fos. E. Brown, of Atlanta, President; J. W. Thomas, of Nashville. Vice-President; Col. E. B. Stahlraan, Commissioner; W. L McGill. Secretary, and Messrs. Thomas H. Car ter and John Scriven, arbitrators. The third member of the Board of Arbitra tion; Col. E. K. Sibley is replaced bV Maj. I. W. Green, of Augusta. 1 he day has been devoted to a ses sion of a committee that has worked steadily in the hope of arriving at an ad justment of difficulties that seem to prevent acquiescence by all the lines in the Association in the rate schedule or articles of agreement as technic ally designated. In the effort to reach unanimity of action there have been four meetings, two at Hotel Wal dorf!, New York, and two here at the Oriental. While the agreement has now been declared effective for another year the following lines have not yet signed it: Alabama Great Southern, repre senting the Queen and Crescent system; the Seabooard Air Line, comprising roads running from Norfolk, through North and South Carolina; Mobile and Ohio; Memphis and Charleston, and several minor roads. The rail ind steamship lines from Florida on the Atlantic Seaboard have agreed on the orange rate at the old figure of thirty-five cents per box to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York; the all-rail lines, however, indicating that they will make a slight differentia!. This action will be of interest to orange growers who bring to market their product October 1st. Tne Executive Committee of the As sociation will be in session at the Ori ental to-morrow tor the consideration of many important matters that need at tention. AN ALABAMA LYNCHING.

Bt Telegraph to the Morning Star. Atlanta, August 24 Alexander Carr emptied a five chambered pistol nto H. O. King on South Broad street here this afternoon, then tossed the pis tol awaw, and folded his arms and waited for a policeman. King is a well known man here, and was connected with a prominent family.
