4 CLOTHING FRAUDS I AT SAN FRANCISCO. 0en nhafter Says There is No Shortage There Inltty of the Departments ' ! of the Army ;:y TeK-o- - h to the Morning Star. Washington, June 19. Tub War IV artment( to day made public two tcli crams dated yesterday, relating to Iho 'alleged' clothing frauds at San v-rancisco. The first is a message from General Corbia to General Bhafter, askinjr for information on the subject, statins: that "it is desirable from every point of view that detailed facts of riA- importance be given the depart mJnt before being exploited in the Newspapers." - . 1 General Shaf ter's reply is as follows : 'Keference to your telegram to-day, I l:e refrained from making a report regarding clothing seized by Colonel Mans, because the quantity was very smail and it all appeared to have come from the same man, a junk dealer who did business around the Presidio. The .,,.ii,;nT had evidentlv benn sold tn this peddler by soldiers and recruits. T!h j'J'ik man and his son who sold it have been arrested by the Federal au thorities and their case is being con-, sidered by the Federal grand jury to dav. "There is no shortage in any of the departments hera. This seized cloth ing u mloubtedly represents the accum ulation of articles which have been sold from to time during the past year or two bv the thousands of soldiers who have passed through San Fran cisco I do not regard this matter as of any importance, though it has been widely exploited by the sensational m spapers. However, the seizure of ihcs articles and the arrests made will have the effect, I think, of dis couraging the purchase or sale of oldiers' wearing apparel in this vicin ity hereafter. , "Following is an exact nt 01 ine articles seized: Blankets, eleven pairs; legging, five pairs; blue flannel shirts, forty eight; blouses, one; gauntlet gloyes, two pairs; black sSin shoes, seventy seven pairs; tan and russet shcn-M, hfty-three pairs. All these ar ticles are noiy in the hands of the proper departments.' PRO-BOHR MEETING HELD IN LONDON.

Outcome of a Conference of Populist?, Socialists and Free Silver Republi cans New Party's Principles. Mr. Bryan Not In It By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. " Kansas City, Mo., June 19. The allied. third party movement which its promoters say will result before 1904 in a national organization strong enough to name a presidential nomi nee, was launched heretbis afternoon. It was the outcome of a conference of reformers from the ranks of the old parties and its principles are sajd by some to have been adopted with a view to fitting the views of William J. Bryan, The conference was called by Lee Meriwether, of St. Louis, who, with twenty-twootner St. Louis leaders in the Public Ownership party of that city, came to Kansas City yesterday from a visit to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln, where the intentions of the delegation had been laid before the Nebraska statesman. Mr. Bryan, it was stated,' had expressed sympathy with the movement, if he had not gone so far as to support it At the conference there were repre sented Populists of all persuasions, public ownership was advocated, and free Silver Republicans, Socialists, Single-taxers and Bryan Democrats were in attendance. It was stated that it was proposed to form a third party in Missouri, which would final ly be taken up by the dissatisfied in the old parties from jbther States. A committee on organization was appointed and instructed to report to day. The committee, which repre sented each element present, to-day submitted the following as the new party's principles, and they were adopted. Public ownership of aU public utili ties, as railroads, telegraphs, etc. While awaiting the legislation necessary to secure public ownership, rigid control of freight and passenger rates and severe penalties for rebates and other discrimination by railroads. Taxation of railroads and other pub lie utility corporations in the same proportion as the value of farms and other property. Direct legislation by the initiative and referendum, to the end that the people may initiate good legislation and veto bad legislation. Graduated income tax, to the end that wealth which receives govern ment protection shall bear its just share of the cost of the government. That whatever is used as money shall be full legal tender, issued by the general governments in sufficient volume for business purposes, and that volume fixed in proportion to population. Just election laws throughout the State. : Home rule for cities and abolition of the present system of using the po lice as a standing army to carry pri mary elections in tha interest of dis honest politicians representing still more dishonest special privilege cor porations. Election of United States Senators by popular vote Thermetihg organised by electiug J. H. Cook, fusion Populist, chair man; J. H. Millis, Middle of-the road Populist, vice president, and F. S. Ko walski, pubiic ownership member, secretary. The committee besides deciding on ' the new name for the movement, will call a State Convention for some time next Fall. In the meantime, the mem bers will prepare an address to the people of the State. I Headquarters will be established at both Carthage and St. Louis and the committee will appoint a chairman for each county in the State, whose duty will be to enlist members and or ganize them into county clubs. The time for holding the convention will be fixed later. Mr. Meriwether this afternoon at the conclusion of the conference, was asktd: "Will not your movement only result in turning the State over to the Republicans?" I do not know, but 1 would a little rather the Republicans should win than the present organization of Dem ocrats. As Mr. Bryan said to me last Monday, I like an enemy under his town colors better than one who steals my colors.' " Bryan Not in it. Atlanta, Ga., June 19.

BV JAMES BATTLE AVIBETT. F. Tennyson Neely Co., New York, 1901.1 The author of this entertaining book, a well known Episcopal clergyman, is a native of Onslow county, and the old plantation of which he writes so tenderly was his father's large estate, embracing many thousand acres around Catherine .. Lake. Although he has passed nearly the whole of his life since manhood in Maryland and Virginia, his love for North Carolina has never abated, but has rather been intensified by time, as is clearly mani fested throughout the volume. He served during the war as chap lain on General Ashby's staff, and wrote a volume entitled "Ashby and His Compeers," .and another entitled "Who Was the Traitor. . There is an excellent introductory chapter to "The Old Plantation" by the late Dr. Hunter McGuire, of Rich mond, who was chief surgeon of Stonewall Jackson's command. The purpose of the book is to por tray faithfully the real life on a large, well managed plantation previous to 1861, and the task has been performed conamore, and with minute detail. It will surprise those readers who have had no personal know lege of that life, in many par ticulars. Many of them will learn, for the first time, perhaps, that those whom it was fashionable at one peri od to describe as "slave drivers," were, as a rule, intelligent, kind, hospitable, courteous gentlemen who, in their re lation to their servants, were more like indulgent parents than cruel mas ters who required them to work like other laborers, of course, but treated them kindly and, when punishment for offences was necessary, had it ad ministered with less certainly not more severity than was practiced in the united mates navy at that time upon white men. Another thing that will be enlightening to some persons is the fact, herein fully set forth, that there was not only educated intelli gence, but careful system in the man agement of these large estates, and that there was always necessarily a proportion of skilled labor on them But while the author fully describes all these things, it is the social aspect of the plantation or, as the title ex presses it, "How we lived in Great House and Cabin" that is chiefly treated, and it is treated with a loving hand. If, gazing back through the vista of fifty years upon the picture which he wished to transfer to his pages, he has, here and there, put on a shade too mnch of color, it has been because he feared that his work would fail to do justice to the life he sought to por tray. It is very evident that he is in spired by an honest desire to avoid all exaggeration and record only the sim ple truth, and in this he has succeed ed, as every one who lived in those days must admit. The "old plantation" on which he was born and reared consisted of about 2,500 acres of cleared land, on which various crops were raised, and about 20,000 acres of forest, chiefly pine, from which immense quantities of turpentine were made. The land now belongs to many, different persons, and the life that once characterized it is a dream of the past a dream on which the author loves to linger "with fond recollection," and which he has invested with a pathetic in terest. His description of the mutual con ft dence and affection existing between the master's family and their two hundred and fifty or three hundred servants; -of the planting, gathering, housing and marketing of the crops; of the sports of fishing and hunting; of the festivities of the negroes, espe cially at "hog killing time," "corn shucking time" and Christmas; of their superstitions and their reli gion, and many of the features of the life of the old plantation, is a true and faithful one, and, of course. in the drawing of the picture the ele ment of humor is not lacking. The dialect of the negro of Eastern North Carolina is correctly given, with the exception that in one or two instances he is made to say "he am" an ex pression I never heard a negro use in my life, although it is very common in books and articles written by Northern people. The author nodded a little, that's all. No mention has been made of the graver questions suggested, or inci dentally ' discussed, in the book, al though it is but just to say that they are treated in a way that shows the author to be a patriot without dis honoring in the slightest degree bis Confederate record a gentleman, and a Christian.

The roads finally united, and the man and the woman, reaching the junction at the same time, went on from there to gether. The man was carrying a large iron kettle on his back. In one hand be held by the leg a live chicken, in the other a cane, and he'was leading a goat. Just as they were coming to a deen. dark ravine the woman said to the man: "I am afraid to go through that dark ravine with you. ; It is a lonely place, and you might overpower me and kiss me by force." "If you are afraid of that," said the man, "you shouldn't have walked with me at all. How can I possibly over come you and kiss you by force when I have this great iron kettle on my back, a cane in one hand and a live chicken in the other and am leading a goat? I might as well be tied hand and foot." "Yes," replied the woman, "but if you should stick your cane in the ground and tie the goat to It and turn the kettle bottom side up and put the chicken under it, then you might wick edly kiss me In spite of my resist ance." . "Success to thy Ingenuity, O wom an!" said the man to himself. "I should never have thought of this expedient." And when they came to the ravine he stuck his cane into the ground and tied the goat to It, gave the chicken to the woman, saying, "Hold it while I cut some grass for the goat," and then, lowering the kettle from his shoulders, he wickedly kissed the woman, as she was afraid he would.

Secretary Gage Raises the Question Rus sian Ambassador's Views Issues Do Not Seem Very Grave Has No Political Significance By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, June 19. The situa tion as to the retaliatory tariff war be tween the United States and Russia is such that the next move must be made by the former, if this contest is to be pursued. Secretary Gage, in his letter, raises the question whether the Russian gov ernment has not infringed upon the rights of the United States under treaty. Article VI. of the treaty of commerce with Russia of 1832, reads: "No higher or other duties shall be imposed on the importation into the United States of any article, the pro duce or manufacture of Russia; and no higher or other duties shall be im posed on the importation into the Empire of Russia of any article, the produce or manufacture of the United States, than are, or shallbe, payable on the like article being the produce or manufacture of any foreign coun try." By levying maximum duties on United States bicycles, rosins and ma chinery, and especially designating them as United States products, the Russian government has, it is not doubted, made just such a discrimina tion as is provided against in this article of the treaty. The question is raised, however, whether, by our action in levying a duty on Russian petroleum, especially describing it as such, the United States government has not also violated this article. There is no penalty article in the treaty, but under the common practice of inter national law a country may renounce the whole of a treaty where it is satis tied that one of its provisions has been purposely broken. If such extreme action is taken in this case, there would be no trade between Russia and the United States, and as far as. Russia is concerned, the maximum tariffs which are practically prohibitive, would ap ply to all imports from the United States. On the other hand if such action by Russia is regarded as discrimination, the United States government may, by existing law, exclude any or all im ports from Russia. No Political Significance. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa dor, in discussing the latest phases of the tariff issue which has arisen be tween Russia and the United States, to day said that the issues do not seem to him to be very grave and be is hopeful that thev will be satisfactorily adjusted. He said that the action of Russia is an economic move, pure and simple, and is qurle certain' that it is due to no antagonism against the United States. Count Cassini said that no political significance could at tach to a matter of a purely commer cial nature. He said he knew nothing of any European movement against American products.

However, if there is plenty of sunshine from this on the wheat may yet be saved in good shape. A close observer says that this year reminds him of '86. when it rained all during wheat harvest and wheat was ruined and the other crops that year were no good. Raleigh News and Observer: Mr. R. N. Hackett, who is just back from Wilkesboro, says that the rain of last week produced another freshet alone the bottoms on the Yadkin. On Saturdav the water was up so that communication between Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro was cut off and a detour of three miles had tobe made to get from place to place.

Winston Sentinel: Sheriff Alspaugh spent Sunday at his home, five miles West of Winston, tie -re ports that the rain storm in his section Sunday afternoon was severe and did great damage. He does not think he ever saw the creeks so high. The Vest mill dam and saw mill were washed away. At Carter's mill the creek was so high that water a foot deep stood on the floor of James Alspaugh's store. The sheritt says wheat was blown down and in many fields he does not believe more than half of the crop can be harvested. The Hamburg American line steam er Deutschland, arrived at Plymouth, Eng., at 8.15 a. m. yesterday, having beaten her own speed record. be covered 3,082 miles in five days eleven hours and 51 minutes at an average speed of 29.48, against 23.36 her best previous record. As vaccination nrevents smalloox. and oni- nlne chills and fevers, so TEETHINA nrevents and counteracts the effects of the summer's beat, much dreaded toy motners witn sait children. TEETHINA relieves the many trou bles incident to teething and the hot summers, and no mother is excusable for not giving it, for it costs only 25 cents at druggists; or mail 25 cents to C. J.
