Mr. Bryan left St. Louis yesterday morning on his journey east and at every station large crowds assembled to greet him. - Rev. Dr. John A. Preston. pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, is dead. The Newport News Company, the Scottsof San Fran co, and the Cram pa of Philadelphia, were awarded the contracts for building three new battleships.

Jake Kilrain was knocked out by Frank Slavin at Bal timore in two and a quarter minutes; Kil rain was in bad condition. Although nearly prostrated after the long journey from St. Louis, and with his voice nearly gone from the s:ore of speeches made on the way, Mr. Bryan made three speeches in Louisville, Ky., "to large crowds. Gen. Buckner and Hon. John R. Fellows, of New York, spoke to a large audience at Nashville, Tenn there was a lack of enthusiasm, the most demonstrative part cf lbe audience being Republicans. The Italian barque Monetabor was wrecked off the coast of Massachusetts; the captain and mate committed sui cide; five of the crew of twelve were drowned; the other seven reaching the shore in an exhausted condition, r- A plot to assassinate the Czar of Russia upon the occasion of bis visit to Eng land is said to have been discovered.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says "It doesn't matter if we call it Palmer and Buckner or Buckner and Palmer." No, it doesn't. The people see the decoy whichever end is put first. The Louisville Courier-Journal says as betwen Palmer and Buckner and Bryan and Sewall, a blind man in the dark could tell which was the Democratic ticket. Indeed he could. Mr. Grass is the Republican nom inee for Congress in a Texas dis trict. He was green enough to accept, but will, have a good time in keeping the Democrats from 'walking on him. Mr. McKinley doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that there is war in Cuba when he talks about the de crease of trade, with the island, which he attributes to' the repeal of his, or rather Blaine's, reciprocity. He ought to read up on Cuban news andWeyler's orders prohibiting ex ports. 'V. fcn'kjrviini . I . . ... . - . : - 1 - : : - VOL.

Mr. Hobart, Mr. McKlnley's run ning mate, doesn't take much stock in the "gold in circulation" fake of the McKinley and gold organs. In his letter of acceptance he says : The fact that few eold coins are seen in ordinary circulation for domestic uses is no proof at all thet the metal is not performing a most important function in oustness attatrs. The foundation of the house is not always in sight; but the house would not stand an hour if there were no foundation. . . , But the house stood all right for over three-quarters of a century with a gold arid silver foundation, and never showed any sizns of weakening until the gold conspira tors pulled the silver out of the foun dation. The old New Jersey fellow who hitched up his trotting horse to follow a fellow who was carrying his daug ter away on a tandem bike didn't catch up with them in time to pre vent the marriage but he got there time enough to kick the bicycle to pieces. Then he cooled down, em braced the couplet and took them home in his wagon. He is in a son-in-law but they are out a tandem. The Ohio State Journal, Republi can organ, thinks Mr. Bryan' treated Mr. McKinley with great discourtesy by going into McKiriley's State to make speeches. He will also, we suppose, be treating Mr. Palmer with discourtesy if he goes into Illinois. And he will also be treating Mr. Mc Kinley and ' Mr, Palmer with more discourtesy when he scoops them both out in their own States. In his speech in Chicago last week that soft-handed son of toil, Carl Schurz, demonstrated the brotherly interest he takes in the wage-earner by talking a lot of rot to him about 53 cent dollars. The scent of that 53 cent rot is so strong that it can be detected across a forty-acre field. Carl's speeches used to bring about $200; we do not know what they are selling at now. A Cleveland, Ohio, lady who came across the ocean on the same ship with Li Hung Chang, says he is a very approachable old chap, but ' it would be advisable to approach him from the windward side.

Persimmona. Mr. E. S. Warrock, who is in charge of Mr. W. S. Warrock's farm, near Masonboro Sound, has six persimmon trees which yield some very pretty per simmons of first-class quality and flavor' But one remarkable fact, is that they ripen before frost. Mr. Warrock brought the Star office a box of the fruit yes terday, and it was much enjoyed. Elector! Foaion Coming. We can't swear to it, but the star has information from Raleigh that it considers reliable that the proposition of the State Democratic Executive Committee for electoral, fusion will be accented bv the Populist Committee within ten days. The Star has never believed it necessary, but "if we must, we must;" that's all. The Carpet and Rug stock is now complete at C W. Polvogt & Co.'s. t 10RN1NG WILMINGTON, N.

Rivenbark. Fart of tbe Trade. Senator Marion" Butler says "there will probably be a Populist nominee in every Congressional district in tbe State." Yes, but he failed to say that the object of running these candidates in the Second, Fifth and Ninth districts is to defeat silver Democrats and elect crold-buz Republicans. Butler knows that this is a part of his trade with the Republicans; but he is not honest enough to admit it. Bit it is by no means certain that the people will ratify the trade. Special for Cbarlotte. Mr. H. McL. Green, chairman, an nounces that the County Democratic Executive Committee have made ar rangements with the Seaboard Air Line for a special train to Charlotte, provided 300 tickets at $2.00 each for tbe round trip, can be sold by 12 o'clock noon to day.

POPULISTS WILL ACCEPT THE DEMO CRATIC PROPOSITION. The State Central Committee Will Meet In Baleigh, Next Monday Other Po litical Q'oaalp State Crop Bulle tin Showing the Condition 1 ot Cotton in Notth Carolina. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C. Sept. 14. Last year the railroads gave a one cent rate on account of the State Fair and the largest crowds ever seen at the Fair were attracted here. People, and the railroad managers alike, pronounced the low rate a success. This year, it seems, the railroads are opposed to of fering the one cent rate. A strong ef fort will be made, however, to secure a continuance of the rate. - No one has doubted since the Popu lists and Republicans reached their par tial agreement last week that complete fusion on tbe Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Auditor would resuit, as was wired that night. Judge Russell or Maj ot Guthrie, one, will have to retire in favor of the other.. It will not be Major Guthrie. Judge Russell says it will not be him. But watch. There was a secret understanding when the writ ten agreement was reached, which the bosses are not ready for the people to know. Major Guthrie is not -coming down.. Now, Ed. Johnson, (col.), chairman of the Republican Congressional Executive Committee in tbe Fourth district, makes an interesting statement which adds to the gciety of the occasion. Johnson tells me that Massey, the Republican nominee for Congress in this district, will not come down in favor of Stroud, He says be nor Mr. Massey will abide by the agreement of the two Executive Committees, which virtually sold Mr. Massey cut. Johnson, furthermore! an nounces that Sheriff Smith of the Sixth district will not get out of the way. He think other nominees will stand firm. The Populists in Jackson county de cided by a two-thirds vote Saturday, in their county convention, to endorse the action of their State Executive Commit tee. Congressman Pearson was there at tbe time. It simply means an endorse ment of Mr. Pearson. There are only 150 fopulists in Jacksonville. Tbe situation is tbis: The Populists are ostensibly for Bryan for President and at theiame time tbey are endeavor ing to tie his nands by electing gold Re publicans to Congress. .The slogan of tbe Populists and Republicans is the same as in 1894: "Anything to beat the Democrats. The Caucasian will be a very interest ing number this week. Among other things I learn that it will sav the action of last week in fusing with Republicans is insincere and will advise Populists to act as tbey please. Special Star Telegram The Populist Central Committee fs called to meet Monday. Chairman Ayer says it is called for the purpose of deciding upon the proposition of the Democratic Executive Committee for electoral fusion. By Southern Associated Press . Raleigh, N. C, September 14. The Populist State Central Committee is called to meet here September 21. It will accept the Democratic proposition for a division of electors. The State crop bulletin, issued to-day. says that all cotton is open in tbe East ern district and half of tbe crop there is picked; that extremely hot and dry weather is forcing cotton to open in the Central district and two-thirds is open three weeks earlier than usual.

Tbe Other Man's Wife" and "A Soldier of Pranoe" Two Good Flays Creditably Bender ed. The firm of Coote & Long, comedians presented at the Opera House last night the three-act comedy, "The Other Man's Wife." Bert Coote, who is familiar to theatre-goers as the New Boy, was cast as Oscar Timid. Nick Long, who is a well known California comedian, was down as Lionel Easyside. . To draw a pen picture of the audience it was at a "howl" all the time. The object of the play is fun; it illustrated home with a mother-in-law. The situa tions were ludicrous in the extreme. Miss Lillian Dix as Mrs. Stern, the mother-in-law, gave an impersonation of lhat well loved being. She fullv illus trated the motto, "Home,Sweet Home." The character of Oscar Timid gave Mr. Coote every opportunity of dis playing his inimitable drollery and eccentricity of manner. Mr. Long, as Lionel Easyside, was Mr. Coote's Siamese twin in. fun-making. He "embraced" every opportunity afforded to convulse his auditors. Mr. Harry C. Stanley gave an artistic touch to the character of Geranius Sprinkle. Miss Julia Kingsley, as Angelica, and Miss Idale Cotton, as Mrs. Ruby Timid, sustained their roles well, as did Miss Carrie Medford, Miss Marion Montrose. and Mr. Coleman. "The Other Man's Wife" was pre ceded by Jas, A. Heme's one act play, 'A Soldier of France." In this Mr. Long ably portrayed the character of Francis LePage, an old French soldier who had fought under Napoleon I, win ning the cross of the Legion of Honor. DEATh OF MrTh". M- DRANE, Bon of Ool. H. M. Drace, Formerly a Oltiaan of Wilmington. The Savannah Newsot Sunday last makes the following announcement of the death cf Mr. H. M. Drane, Jr., whd had a large family connection and numerous friends in the Cape Fear section: Mr. Henry M. Drane; Ir., died shortly after midnight yesterday morning, at the home of Mrs. Joseph C Thompson, at Hall and Habersham streets, after a long illness. He had been failing rapidly and his death was not wholly unex pected. Mr. Drane was a son of Col. H. M. Drane, who was summoned by tele graph, and was with him when he died. He was 24 years old. and was a young man of much promise, socially, and in the business world. His happy disposi tion and firm character attracted to him the warm friendship of all who knew him. His illness, although long and painful, was borne with patience and fortitude. An attack cf rheumatism was followed by congestion of the lungs, which proved fatal. Mr. Drane was, up to the time of his final illness, in the employ of Hunter, Pearce & Battey. Previous to that he was with Comer, Hull & Co., and before that with Hammond, Hull & Co. He was popular with his employers, and his fine business attainments won him their confidence and esteem. Mr. Drane was a brother of Mrs. W. G. Morrell and of Mr. Geo. T. Drane. His mother, who is ill, was unable to reach here, and was telegraphed the news of her son's death. The deceased was a member of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, and was recently a sergeant In Company C. His funeral will take place at St. John's church, at 3 SO o'clock: this afternoon, and will be attended by the battalion which will pay the last tribute. The in terment will be in Bonaventure. COTTON STEAMERS SCARCE. Savannah Is In Trouble Over the Searoity of Freight Boom For Cotton. There is a scarcity for freight room at this port, says the Savannah News, for cotton for direct shipment to Europe. Shippers are clamoring for engagements and are willing to pay full rates, but there is scarcely any room offering. There are only three vessels in port loading cotton for Europe. The ship brokers say that it is almost impossible to secure steamers, as tbe de mand for tonnage for grain is absorbing all of the nearby ships, and steamers in Europe will not contract to take cotton while offers tor grain freights are so profitable. At present there is a strong demand for room for cotton, with none available. The Savannah brokers have searched both sides of the Atlantic for ships dur ing the past week without success. Ship owners will not even give rates at which their vessels can be chartered, preferring to take the rates offered in grain. The steamship Guy Colin, which ar rived here a week ago with a cargo of pyrites, was offered full rates for a cot ton charter, but tbe owners took a grain charter and yesterday cleared for Balti more.
