WILMINGTON, N. C. Wedxesdat Morning, August 2. HOW TO BALE COTTON. A DISCUSSION OP THE CYLIN DRICAL AND SQUARE BALES. Danger of Cotton Trnet-If Round Bairn Should bo Adopted It Would Place the Control of the Cotton Market in the Hands of a Tow, and the Fanners Would be at Their Mercy. From Daily Free Press, Kin ston, N. C Mr. Editor My attention has been called to the discussion going on from time to time of the comparative merits of the square and round bales of cot ton ; and several days ago I began an investigation of the matter, with the purpose of writing an article, by the request of several people interested in learniag which is best. I do not pro fess to have made a thorough study of the contentions of the cylindrical bale people in so short a time and with such limited means of information as I have had. but I have seen and read enough to know that until the times and the conditions change, bur people are not ready for the introduction of the cylindrical bale to the exclusion of ihe square bale. I hope that our cred ulous people may not be flattered, ca joled or bull-dozed into the acceptance of the new bale. I have no interest in the matter ex cept as every citizen is, or should be, interested in any and everything that vitally concerns the prosperity of the cotton producers. That interest bor ders, I admit, somewhat on selfish impulses, because what affects cotton affects us alL What reason is there for the change? Why should the ginners abandon as useless their machinery worth millions of dollars! What solid inducement is offered to the farmers and ginners? I have seen none. The South is praised a little we are told that the South is still conservative, butnot "slow." That it is beingaroused to modern methods and modern improvements in all lines of development, and fin ally we are congratulated upon the rapid acceptance of the cylindrical bale, and it is gently hinted to us that it is coming universally and that we had best prepare to receive it kindly than to accept it later forcibly. Do not be thrown off your guard by the fear of being called unprogres sive. Be sure that somebody has as an axe to grind. I do not absolutely deny that the round bale will ever be found best suited for all purposes, but so far their people have failed to show the neces sity for or the utility of its adoption. The only argument they have had worth consideration is the one that the round bale being all of one shape and size could be packed in the holds of the ships so as to economize space and therefore cheapen transportation and export rates. That was true, but since the almost general adoption of the uniform square bales, 24x54, that argument falls down, because a uni form square bale can be packed closer, if any difference exists, than the ' round ap bale. It is asserted that the round bale people are bending every energy to make the uniform square bale move ment a failure. If this be true, and the ginners generally testify to that effect, and you will remember that efforts like that require immense out lays of money, you will see that it is strong proof that the cylindrical bale people realize that the general adop tion of 24x54 inches as the standard bale will give a death blow to their hopes, because it can be stowed away in the holds of the ships better than the round bale. If they did not see that the only argument they have had would be thus answered, they would not be so anxious to prevent ginners from adopting the 24x54 press boxes. It is freely charged that promoters of the round bale have trust tenden cies, in fact that there is practically but one concern in the business. They deny the charge by saying that there are three round bale presses sold now, and that therefore there is no likelihood of the formation of a trust to control the ginning of cotton. Nevertheless two of the round bale concerns, the American Cotton Com pany and the Lowery Round Bale Company will not sell their presses out right, but place them on a royalty only. Ask them why it is that, claiming to be the friend of the farmers and gin ners, they will not sell their machines to them at about $350 and realize a handsome profit for themselves, and leave to the tinners the profits of the ginning, and they answer readily that they hare a good thing in which they are protected by the patent office, and they intend to keep it so that it shall operate always for their interest, net ting them from $1,500 to $2,000 on each machine. There is absolutely no competition between these people because the American Cotton company states, and the Lowrey Bound Bale company en tirely in the east. And add this fact when you ask them about buying the machines out right, they refer you to the third and only concern in the business, the Gin ners Compress company. Communi cate with them and you will find the price beyond the reach of any ginner in Lenoir county. Another peculiar thing will strike the average man as significant. The Ginners Compress company sends out American Cotton company's literature to explain the advantages of the ma chines. Is it not patent that they are all the same? Do these facts not point to an effort to inveigle the producers and ginners into the trap set Dy the round bale people? Once all the millions of capital already inyested in Ihe old pro cess is rendered valueless, and competi tion in the handling of the cotton crop destroyed, the greatest trust in the history of the world will be un masked, and we will be helpless. Let ns let well enough alone. It would be bad enough if the gin ners could buy the machinery to re place the old, but they should never think of abandoning their present ma chinery and paying a royalty for the use of somebody else's machine. Let every ginner adopt the 24x54 inch bale and the question will be set tled for many yean. It is commonly the custom to berate cotton buyers and compress men, but I am glad to call attention to the de termined stand taken byMessrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, of Wilmington, in faror of the adoption of the uniform square bale 24x54. Their efforts should be appreciated. It if to their own interest, of course, but they hare done the producers ana small ginners a great service in their stand for a uniform square bale, and against the monopoly of the ginning and handling of oar great staple in the hands of a few men, and those men foreign to our soiL P.

Three New Cases li the Home lid 0ie Death Officially Reported Dealed That Negroes Died of the Dis ease at Phoebus. By Telegraph to the Morning 8 tar. Norfolk, Va., August 1. There is no change in the local situation, ex cept that the authorities have re doubled their diligence to prevent yel low fever from being introduced into this city from Hampton or elsewhere. The mayor, chief of police and patrol men are doing eighteen hours' duty daily, and special officers, inspectors and physicians are working day and night perfecting the quarantine against Hampton and neighboring poiats on the peninsula. It is absolutely certain that no one is able to slip in by land or water on account of the watchfulness of the land guards and patrol boats. Mayor Johnston today received a dispatch from Surgeon General Wy man, of the Marine Hospital Service, placing Craney Island at the disposal of this city and Portsmouth, and it will be used as a detention camp, if necessary. Six Cases and Two Deaths la Phoebus. News was received from the Sol diers' Home to-night that no new cases had developed in that institution to day, nor had there been any deaths. The report that six cases had been dis covered and that there had been two deaths among the negropopulation of Phoebus, adjoining the Home, was con firmed. Mayor Johnston called up Governor Tyler and asked him to urge upon Secretary of War Boot to send all in mates of the Home, whose removal was regarded as prudent, to some point North, there to remain until the dis ease has been stamped out The Gov ernor promised to give the suggestion immediate attention. Fishermen and oyster-tongers who have been operating in the vicinity of the infected district are not allowed to come near shore. Several were driven back to-day by the river and harbor patrol. Dr. Lynch, a yellow fever expert, has been appointed assistant quaran tine officer and is giving close atten tion to trains and shipping. He has systematized matters and is doing effective work. Our authorities are confident of their ability to keep the disease out. PrecantioBS at -New York. Niw York, August 1. Dr. Charles F. Robert, chief sanitary superinten dent of the health department, has been directed by President Murphy, of the Board of Health, to place him self in communication with the State Board of Health in New Jersey, and ask the co-operation of that department in the finding of the best means of ex amining passengers from the yellow fever zone. Baltimore's Quarantine. Baltimore. August 1. The first active step toward the euforcement of the quarantine against Newport News, Hampton and Old Point Comfort, Virginia, on account of yellow fever, was taken this morning when the steamship Juniata of the Merchants and Miners Transportation Line, from Boston, was held at quarantine station byorder of Health Commissioner Jones upon information that several passen gers had boarded the ship at Old Point She was soon released, however, upon the statement of her commander that the story was incorrect and that he had taken no passengers from any of the towns against which the quarantine is being enforced. . Excitement Allayed. Newport Niws, Va., August 1. The nreliminarT excitement over the existence of yellow fever at the Sol diers' Home has been allayed to a great extent, notwithstanding the un favorable report from Phoebus. Some people left the city to-dar on account of the situation, but the exodus was nothing like that of yesterday. The stopping of all coastwise, bay and river boats from landing here on ac count of quarantine regulations adopted by other cities at which these Teasels touch has materially impaired local shipping, and the Chesapeake & Ohio railway' will to-morrow transfer to Richmond a number of the clerks employed by that company on ac count of the small amount of freight being handled here. While the shipyard is handicapped to some extent, the number of its em ployes who have left the city and who are quarantined at their homes in Hampton is not sufficient to seriously retard work at the plant No Alarm in Richmond. Richmond, Va., August L The last refugee train from the infected dis trict reached here over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to-night, being some three hundreds persons from Old Point Buck Roe Beach and other re sorts. There is no alarm in Richmond, but rigid sanitation will be enforced. Policeman one of the Victlme. Hampton, Va., .August 1. The most important development of to-day in the yellow fever situation was the discovery of three cases in the town of r nee bus, adjoining the Soldiers Home. Policeman Joseph Mastin is one of the victims and the most remarkable fea ture of his case is the fact that he believed he had yellow Jaundice. While walking about the streets to day he was .seen by Surgeon" White, of the Marine Hospital Service stationed at Hampton, who at once pronounced the disease yellow fever. Dr. White ordered Policeman MtH to his home, which was promptly quaran tined. The other two victims are old soldiers who were found in a saloon. They were sent to the hospital at the Home. These are the only cases that have been reported at Phoebus, al though many wild rumors regarding the outbreak there-have been in circu lation. The report that two neeroes died there to-day is an error. Hampton this morning quarantined against Phoebus." Business there has been almost entirely suspended and it is practically dead here. The leading hotel closed to-day and the merchants axe discharging their clerks. Arrange ments have been made for the steamer Hampton Roads to run to Norfolk and Newport News to-morrow to bring Srovisions for this town and the Sol ion' Home. At the Soldier's Home. Washhtqtojt, August 1. "Three new cases of yellow fever in the Sol dier's Home' at Hampton and one death" is the official report received to-night bySureeon General Wyman from Dr. Wasdin, the yellow fever expert on duty at the institution. Ad ded to Dr. Wasdin's figures sent to Dr. Wyman yesterday this makes up to date forty cases in all which have occurred at the home, of which eight hare proved fataL Surgeon White to-day telephoned Dr. Wyman that in his opinion there isMssMsss , HIA..M M, iint r i iiAnn nrnYnflf! i Cnn"T I.-'.- WftH MfflHIIMfl 'AH - wwmm- was little doubt that '.there had been some . fever infection ' in ipe neighboring village of Phoebus, but the surgeon general said to-night that thin dispatch had not been fol lowed by any evidence of a pos.tive case at that place. Should the fever develop there, however, no surprise will be felt in view of the proximity V . U V M.vv w wmw and the mixing of inmates of the iu. stitution with the people of Phoebus. Its appearance at Phoebus, Dr. Wy man thinks, under these circumstances would be simply a coincidence. The opinion was expressed to-night that the situation continues encourag ing inasmuch as the disease has been kept within its original bounds. None of the nearby towns other than Phoe bus have reported the appearance of infection or suspicious cases. The people for miles around the home are very mnch alarmed, but are quiet Doctor Wertenbaker. The Surgeon General continues his precautions to prevent the spread of the disease and is dispatching addi tional help to the surgeons now on the ground. Dr. Wertenbaker will remain at Newport News for the pres ent and will supervise matters along the line of the railroad between that citV and Richmond. Hospital Steward Eolb, who is a yellow fever immune now a Norfolk, has been directed to report to Dr. White and render what services he may be called on to per form. Dr. White will remain in chsrge at Hampton. Arrangements have been made for the disinfection of mail matter sent by the inmates of the home to their friends. Two suspect veterans, who have been at the Hampton home, have been detained by the local authorities in this Tity, but they appear to be all right and no alarm is felt at their presence in Washington. House to House Inspection. A telegram was sent to day by Gen eral Wyman to Surgeon Pet tus, at Old Point, directing him at once to insti tute a thorough sanitary investigation as far as Phoebus. Surgeon Wasdin, at Phoebus, was ordered to make a house to house inspection there. This is in accordance with the plan for a thorough investigation of the whole area surrounding the infected home. The soldier who is supposed to be responsible for the importation of the fever from Cuba to Hampton has not been apprehended, although seeral other inmates of the home have been recognized and detained at various places. It is said by the Marine Hospital authorities that there is but little dan ger at the further spread of the dis ease by the soldier in question. He had not developed the fever himself when he left the home. COTTON AND TOBACCO. Weather Bareaa's Summary of Crop Coo ditions Heavy Rains Injurious In North Carolina. Br Telecraph to the Morning; Star. Washixqtojc, August 1. Follow ing is the Weather Bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions, as to cotton and tobacco : Drought has been relieved in the South Atlantic and East Gulf States, and beneficial rains have fallen in Ohio and Alabama, but rain is now needed in portions of New Tork and Pennsylvania, the central portions of Illinois and Missouri, and Louisiana, Arkansas, Dakotas, Western Nebraska and Central Mississippi. Local storms, accompanied by ex cessively heavy rains, have proved damaging in Alabama, Western Flor ida and Southern New Jersey. Not withstanding these conditions, the week may be said to have been upon the whole generally favorable, the most unpromising reports being re ceived from the Dakotas, where high temperature and lack of moisture are being seriously felt Comp?aints of shedding continues from the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt and while rains have improved the condition of the crop in the Carolina, the excessively heavy rains in North Carolina have E roved injurious. Good growth is, owever, generally reported, espe cially in the central and eastern sec tions, and as a rule the crop is fruit ing welL Picking is well advanced in portions of Southern Texas and the general condition of the crop is prom ising. Tobacco is suffering from drought and has been injured on low lands in Tennessee by heavy rains; else where the weather conditions have been favorable for the growth of to bacco, a marked improvement being reported from the States of the Ohio valley. Cutting and curing contin ues in the Carolinas and will soon be gin in Maryland and Virginia. INDIANS ON THE WAR-PATH. TheYssais, la Sooora, Mexico, KlUiog Mexicans aad Americans A State of Terror Prevails. Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. St. Louis, August 1. A special to the Globe-Democrat from Ortiz; Mex.. says: Any doubt that Yaquis are on the war path in earnest was dispelled to day when news reached here that sev eral Americans and Mexicans had been killed in pueblos, or towns, in the Yaqui river valley, east and southeast of this station. The courier who came in with the news of the slaughter declares that he saw a des perate fight at a point forty miles, southeast of Ortiz and that he has posi tive evidence that J. F. Bemley, a merchant of Her mosillo and E. MUfer, a photographer in his employ, were among the killed. Bemley was one of the best known Americans in Sonora. The inhabitants of the. towns in and near the Yaqui valley are in a state of terror. General Torres, commander of the first military zone, which includes Sonora, Sinaloa, and Lower Califor nia, who was in the field with the Twelfth regiment is reported among the slain. No information is obtainable as yet of the number of fighting Indians un der arms, but if the outbreak is of the proportions of the war ended in 1897, the number may be placed at between three and four thousand. This out break is a surprise to the State and army officials. It is impossible to secure accurate figures as to the total number killed to date, but the estimate at fifty on each side is not considered excessive. BASE BALL BULLETIN.

Mr. Elihu Boot took the oath of office as Secre tary of War at 10.45 to day. The cere mony occurred in the large tffice of the Secretary of War, in the presence of Secretaries. Gage and Hitchcock, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, a large number of army officers in uni form and other employes and officials. The oath was administered by Judge Cole, of the Supreme Court of the Dis trict of Columbia. General Alger shook the new Secre tary's hand most cordially, and said with evident. feeling: "With all my heart, I congratulate you and the ad ministration. You will find around you here men who will help in the arduous duties of your position. May God bless you and give you strength. Secretary Gage then stepped forward and congratulated SecretaryBoot He was followed by Secretary Hitchcock, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, Gen eral Corbin and Chief Clerk Scho field. General Alger picked up the com mision signed by the President and at tested by the Secretary of State, ap pointing Mr. Boot Secretary of War. "Here is your commission," he said, handing it to Mr. Boot "in which, you lose your identity and become a sov ereign citizen of the United States and I become Mr. Alger." "I sincerely wish it were the other way," said Mr. Boot & he accepted the parchment Then the officers were presented to Secretary Boot by Mr. Victor Mason, the confidential secretary of the Sec retary of War. As soon as they were introduced they passed on and shook hands with General Alger. Nearly all stopped to express their regrets upon his retirement, and wished him great success in the future. They also thanked him for his consideration and many acts of kindness and uni form courtesy during the time they had been associated with him. General Miles appeared with his staff in the full ' dress uniform of the major general commanding the army. He stopped to talk with Secretary Boot for some time, longer than any of the others. Following the presentation of the officers the civilian officials and clerks of the department came in and shook hands with Secretary Boot and said farewell to General Alger. Secretary Gage before leaving the room, went up to General Alger and shook him cordially by the hand, bid ding him good bye.

The in ternational phase of the Italian lynch ings in Louisiana have assumed a rather more serious aspect as a result of several official reports received here. These show that the Italian officials on the scene believe that four out of the five men lynched were Ital ians in the fullest sense.! While tbe re ports are not final, the Italian authori ties have no doubt that; they will be borne out by the inquiries now in pro gress, and it is to remove all possible doubt that Marquis -Romano, of the Italian embassy, has gone to Louisiana. He has been commissioned as consul to New Orleans, owing jto the absence of the consul on leave, and in that capacity will go to Tallulah and make a careful investigation. I The Italian authorities have also taken note of the statement attributed to Dr. Hodges, whose assault led up to the lynching. This states that after the assault he walked away, indicat ing that the offence was not of a char acter to warrant the lynching of five persons. WARM WIRELETS. The U.
