The French people are the most

A report comes from Washington
that Senator Hanna is not in accord
with President Boosevelt in the
policy of his Southern appoint

his disapproval by resigning his po

If President Boosevelt doesn't
have a distinguished and historic
ancestry it will not be the fault of
the genealogical tree climbers. One
of them has succeeded in tracing
him back to 8ir Bobert Bruce, and
will doubtless get him back to Al

IT WAS ELKS' DAY.

THE PARADE LAST NIGHT.
"Best People on Earth" Donned Fantastic
Costumes and Captured the Crowds.
, Midnight Walk of Ghosts Post
poned Country Store.
"Elks' Day" at the Carnival yester
day was the , "biggest of them all."
The crowds on the Midway and various
streets down-town were larger than on
any night previous, not excepting the
opening. During the day people were
also here in large numbers, many of
them being visitors from adjacent
towns and from the country. All the
various shows were well patronized
and every where the Carnival spirit
was supreme. The extra and regular
trains on the railroads brought large
crowds and the steam boats also pour
ed into the city a goodly number of
visitors. The steamer Wilmington
brought a party of about 100 from
Southport and other boats on the
river did. their share in this respect
The steamer Driver brought an ex
cursion party from up the Cape Fear.
The crowning feature of Elks' day
was the fantastic parade of Wilming
ton Lodge No. 532, last night at 9
o'clock. It was witnessed by thous
ands of people and excited no little
interest and amusement The Elks
appeared in fantastic and ludicrous
costumes and fitted their actions to
their appearance in a manner that was
highly creditable and entertaining. It
was arranged by the Amusement Com
mittee and successfully executed in
the most minute particular. The cos
tumes were ordered from Washington,
D. C, and arrived just in time for
distribution. That very little time
was given for arrangements reflects
all the more credit on the enterprising
committee consisting of Mr. Thos. W.
Davis (chairman), John D. Bellamy,
Jr.. 3rd, W. G. Elliott" Jr., E. J.
Bear, W. A. French, Jr., J. P. Tay
lor, F. P. Turrentineand 8. A. Schloss.
Contrary to the rule of most
parades, that of the Elks last night
moved promptly on time. The route
was from the Temple to Nun street
up Nun to Third, down Third to Mars
ket, to Front and back again to the
Temple. All along the line the Elks
were greeted with tumultuous ap
plause and it. was the universal
opinion, that the parade was the most
creditable feature of the entire Fair
and there have been many good ones.
The parade passed as follows:
Dr. T. B. Carroll, the Irish police
man.
Platoon of Wilmington Police.
H. J. Gerken, Boosevelt
Hollowbush's Band.

Ghost Parade Postponed.
The ghost parade did not take place
at one minute past twelve as was ex
peoted owing to the impossibility of
securing as many torch lights as were
expected. The necessary illuminating
"sticks" will, however, reach-the city
this morning and Mr. Davis, chairman
of the committee, authorizes the ' posi
tive announcement that it will take
place at 11 o'clock to-night The earlier
hour will afford an opportunity to a
larger number of people to witness the
weird performance and ghosts, spooks
and fantastic visions will flit by to
the awe and terror of all who care
to witness it Every Elk io the city
is expected to report at the . Temple at
a quarter past ten o'clock to-night arm
ed with all - paraphemelia to partici
pate in the exercise., A white sheet
will be found a convenient addition to

The impression has gone abroad that
the "show will all be over" before Sat
urday night. Mr. H. J. Gerken, chair
man of the Carnival Executive Com
mittee, authorizes the positive an
nouncement that all snows will re
main open until Saturday midnight
It is confidently expected that the
closing night, will be larger than all
of them in point of attendance and
gaiety.-.
The Elks' Country Store.
The Country Store last night almost
exhausted its entire stock, and mer
chants will be called upon to-day for a
replenishment' About $600 has been
taken in from this source thus far and
as it all goes to the Elks without con
dition it is hoped that the contribu
tions of merchandise will be substan
tial. 8tock is wanted sufficient to run
the store through to night A num
ber of the valuable prizes, including
the rocking chair, oil stove, pearl
brooch and gun have not been disposed
of but these will positively "go" to-day
according to the announcement of the
management The "best foot" of the
proprietors of the country store will
be put forward to-day and those who
are wise will be the patrons of the
establishment.
Free Concert at Stieff' s Booth.
Beginning this afternoon at 4:30

Beacons for the Cape Fear.
The United States buoy tender Wis
taria arrived in port yesterday on her
regular inspection trip. While here
she will replace certain buoys in the
river and will establish new beacon
lights along the channel as recently
asked for in the petition circulated by
Capt Edgar Williams, the harbor
master. The government has already
appropriated $500 for the additional
lights and they will be established just
as soon as possible. Some trouble is
being experienced in securing a pile
driver but this necessary apparatus
will likely be secured from Charleston
at an early date.

THE LIBEL CASE DISMISSED.
Snit of ViriinlaCarollna Chemical Com
pany Against J. P. Klrvea Still In ; .
Hearing May Get to the Jnry,
To-day Other Notes.
There was little yesterday of general
interest in either of the courts 'now in
session at Wilmington. The Federal
Court convened at 10 o'clock A. M.
and was in session only thirty min
utes, having adjourned at 10:30 A. M.
subject to the further orders' of the
Judge. The Superior Court was en
gaged the entire day until 5:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in a continued
hearing of the Kirven case from South
Carolina. Adjournment for the day
was taken until 9:30 o'clock this morn
ing.
The case of the Virginia-Carolina
Chemical Company against J. P. Kir
ven has engaged the attention of the
Superior Court since Tuesday after
noon. It involves the title to 100 bales
of cotton approximating in value $2,-
400 and shipped to Messrs. Alexander
Sprunt & Son in the Fall of 1898. The
defendant J. P. Kirven was indebted
by lien to the plaintiff in the sum of
about $3,200 and the plaintiff claimed
that the cotton shipped to Messrs.
Sprunt & Son was the property of
Kirven, the defendant who, on the
other hand, claimed that the cotton
was the property of his brother, E. E.
Kiiven. The latter, claiming the cot
toa, demanded payment for the same
nod the Vtrginia-Caroliaa Chemical
Company entered suit and attached
the money in the hands of Messrs.
Sprunt & Son. It is to settle this con
troversy that the court is now en
gaged. The hearing of defendant's witnesses
was resumed yesterday and concluded
about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The plaintiff then began introducing
evidence in rebuttal of that offered by
the defendant This will be conclud
ed with the examination of one or
two other witnesses this morning and
the attorneys will then address the
jury. Appearing for the plaintiff are
Bountree & Carr, of this city; Wilcox
& Wilcox, of Florence, 8. C, and W.
F. Dargan, Esq., of Darlington, S. O.
The attorneys for the defendant are

Esq., of this city; and Geo. W.Brown,
Esq., of Darlington, 8. O. It is ex
pected that the case will be concluded
this evening.
The Federal Court Yesterday. ,
The business of the United States

Wednesday afternoon, the Circuit
Court was convened yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, His Honor, Judge

al attorneys interested were busy in
the Superior Court, now in session,
very little business was transacted.
In the case of Charles M. Whitlock,
libellant, against the steam tug
Buck, upon exceptions to the libel of
the claimant, the steamer Buck, her
tackle, apparel, boiler, machinery and
furniture, the Judge issued an order
that the exceptions to the libel- are
sustained and that the libel be dismiss
ed and that the costs be taxed against
the libellant.
The case of London Cotton against
the American steamship Saginaw,
suit for $5,000 for injuries received
while at work in the hold of the vessel,
was continued. The plaintiff's attorneys
are Herbert McClammy, Esq., and
William J. Bellamy, Esq.
The clerk submitted his reports of
the disbursement of funds in cases on
trial in the District and Circuit
courts and the same were approved.

largest ever held in this division
of this district there having been a
hundred and two cases disposed of and
thirty cases continued to the next ses
sion to be convened on the first Mon
day after the fourth Monday in April.
The. grand jury acted on sixty-seven
bills of indictment of which they re
turned true bills in fifty-two cases,
having ignored fourteen indictments.

bill and pleaded guilty as upon infor
mation filed. One case was continued
