Mr. Harrison's attitude on the Pres

last is that he is not-in "the race, as

The estate of the .late Jay Gould
is appraised at $83,000,000, only
$2,000,000 of which is in real estate,
the remainder being in stocks,

a good way to dodge taxation. Dur

when it "was increased, to $500,000
he kicked like a mule and 'com

MOR
WILMINGTON. N. C. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER
THE COMMODORE.
Orders Have Been Beeeived to Beleaae
Both Vessel and Cargo-Will iitave TJ
in a Few Dayi.
Alter a careful consideration of the
statements forwarded to Washington by
District Attorney Aycock and Marshal
Carroll. Attorney General Harmon yes
terday telegraphed the Marshal to re
lease the steamer Commodore and her
cargo. As the Star has kept its read
ers fully posted on this matter, they all
know that the ship and her cargo have
been held here on suspicion that the
cargo was intended for the Cuban insur
gents.
As the ship has been libelled, and the
case is now on the docket of the United
States Court, it is necessary for Judge
Seymour to issue an order dismissing
the case, and Mr. D. B. Sutton, repre
senting Judge Russell, counsel for the
owners of the Commodore, will leave for
Newbern this morning to procure the
necessary papers from Judge Seymour.
He will return this afternoon and every
detail will then be finally settled.
It is not yet definitely known when
the Commodore will leave this port, as it
is necessary to complete some repairs of
a minor character, which were begun
when she was seized by the' United
States authorities, but she will not be
here long.
The news that an order for the re
lease of the Commodore and her cargo
had been received caused great rejoic
ing among the people of Wilmington
yesterday, and when the gallant ship
steams out of this port flying the "stars
and stripes" she will carry with her the
best wishes of every Wilmlngtonian
who loves liberty and independence.
THE WEATHER.
The
Iiong Drought Broken Copious
Bains A Cold Wave Coming.
The long drought has been broken by
copious rains in the interior of the State.
For the 24 hours ended at 8 a. m. yes
terday, the rainfall at Goldsboro
amounted to .56 of an inch; Raleigh',
.86; Weldon, .36; Greensboro, .12, and a
'trace" at Wilmington. It was cloudy
at Charlotte, Lumberton and Florence.
Observer Graham, in bis synopsis of
the weather issued yesterday morning,
said:
"The temperature has risen slightly at
a few points on the immediate Atlantic
coast, but has fallen more or less
throughout the rest of the country, be
ing very decided in the great central
valleys, reaching from western New
York to northeastern Texas and from
northern Georgia to North Dakota. The
temperature was reported as low as 16
degrees in the Dakotas this mornine,
with minimum temperature of 14, de
grees in North Dakota. This cold wave
will pass across the country during the
next day or two, causing heavy frosts in
the Northern States, and possibly in the
interior of this State, but it is doubtful
if it will frost in this vicinity.
'Heavy rain has fallen in portions of
this State. South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi.'Tennessee,with lighter
showers in various other sections of the
country, and a heavy fall of snow in
upper Michigan.
"Good rains are reported from all dis
tricts of the cotton belt."
THE ROUND COTTON BALE.
What Is Thought of It in New York-It
Meets With Much Favor.
One of the cylindrical pressed bales of
cotton, of which there has been so much
talk abont during the last year, and of
which frequent descriptions have 'been
published, says the News & Courier,
reached New York one day last week
and was exhibited at the Cotton Ex
change. It met with much favor and
many were of the opinion that if it was
adopted it would be of great benefit to
the trade generally.
The matter in which the buyers man
ifested most interest was that of sam
pling cotton under the new process. In
the first place, it is impossible lor the
cotton to be mixed without it appearing
in either oi the ends ot the bale. The
cotton passes direct from the gin into
the condenser, lrom which it passes in a
broad continuous sheet, the width of
the bale, to the spool upon which it is
wound under great pressure. The very
construction of the bale, therefore, pre
cludes the possibility of mixing in bad
cotton without it becoming apparent at
the ends, it is possible to secure relia
ble samples at the ends.
An automatic sampler takes three or
more samples from the bale as it is be
ing prepared, which are afterwards com
pared and the ginner puts a sample to
gether that is certified to be absolutely
accurate.
This does away with the disfiguring of
the bales by cutting to get samples. An
other very desirable feature of the new
process is the compactness with which
it compresses the bale. The bale on ex
hibition had a density of 35 pounds to
the cubic foot.
One Cent a Word,
Hereafter advertisements to go in our

Star Correspondence.
Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 8th.
A good steady rain has been descend
ing since last night and all signs of the
recent drought are now with the past.
Farmers will lose a good deal by the
rain coming at this time. The farmers
variously estimate that, 40 per cent, of
the cotton crop is now in the fields. All
the cotton that was open was well filled
with dust and the rain will no doubt
stain s great deal of it, thereby depreci
ating the price. The condition of the
crops is very unfavorable, as given out by
the weather service.
Everybody here is watching for the
Government report, which appears on
the 10th.: It may mean that cotton will
take a big jump. The fact that New
York has held up while Liverpool has
gone down, gives encouragement to the
prevailing idea that the report will be
bullish.

MONROE DOCTRINE
IT WILL BE ENFORCED IF THE OCCA
SION DEMANDS IT.
The Massing of the War Bhlps -Evolutions
to Be Made in tho Vicinity of
Venezuela Significant Movement.
f Washington Star.
The winter plans for the North At
lantic squadron are important and very
significant, in view of the situation in
Cuba and the attitude this country has
assumed towards British encroachments
in Venezuela. This government does
not desire to make any aggressive
move prematurely, but at tbe same
time intends to be as well pre
pared as possible for any emergency
that may arise. The North Atlantic
squadron is to be greatly strengthened.
Transfers are to be made so as to assem
ble in that squadron about all the best
'vessels in the navy, and instead ot ceas
ing their squadron drill for the winter
they will continue it in the southern
waters. The result will be that the
strongest squadron that this country has
ever assembled will be cruising in the
vicinity of Venezuela, British Guiana
and Cuba. An impressive demonstra
tion of force will thus be made, but it
wili be under the guise of practice drills.
PRACTICE SQUADRON DRILL NECES
SARY. ' The excuse for adding vessels to the
squadron and going into those waters
will be that it is desirable that every one
of the new vessels should have practice
in squadron drill, and it is necessary to
continue the practice through thejyin
ter. Wl
These evolutions, while nominally con
ducted for the purpose of drilling the of
ficers and men of the ships ot the navy
in the evolutions of modern naval war
fare are, without question, to be carried
on for the prime purpose of having a
powerful fleet in the vicinity of
trouble, if trouble occurs. With
headquarters probably . at Colon,
there will be almost constant communi
cation between the admiral in com
mand of the fleet and the Navy Depart
ment, and should the occasion arise, as
it is feared that it may, for something
more than diplomacy in the Venezuelan
Cuban matter, a powerful fleet would be
within an hour's communication of
Washington, and at the same time with
in twenty-four hours' sailing distance of
the probable seat of tbe troubles.
SIGNIFICANCE OL THE MOVEMENT.
The new movement is regarded as of
the utmost importance and as of far more
significance than any similar action ot
the authorities for many years past. It
means that the administration proposes
to strictly enforce the Monroe doctrine
and to have a power behind itself to
bring about the enforcement.
The southern line of the cruising
ground of the North Atlantic squadron
is iust about a degree south of the
eauator. so that the United States can,
without appearing to make a .hostile
demonstration, mass her warships along
the entire coast of Venezuela and
British Guiana. The North Atlantic
squadron is the most powerful fleet of
the American navy in American waters,
and with the vessels to be added will
make an impressive showing. The South
Atlantic squadron consists of some
times one and sometimes three vessels
of the second, third and fourth classes,
with few modern cruisers employed. At
the present time it consists of three ves
sels, only one of which, the Newark, is
of a formidable character.
It is also asserted that the Secretary
contemplates holding the South Pacific
squadron in the vicinity of Valparaiso,
where, in case of need, they could be
readily communicated with by cable.

J. HICKS BUNTING,

WILMINGTON, N. C.
Yes, we want $10,000, but we don't want to borrow
it. We don't want to beg it and we don't want to
steal it. We just want to make it in a couple of years
We don't want to counterfeit Uncle Sam's money
either, we just want to earn it legitimately. Our gilt-
edge security is in selling the best quality of goods at
a reasonable margin of profit. If we don't make a
reasonable profit we've got to starve or steal. The
one lands us in the penitentiary and the other carries
ni to oar grave We are not anxious to take up our
abode at either place yet awhile.
We don't and we won't run a cheap John drug shop
and sacrifice Quality for price. Quality ranks first
