RUSSIA IS BECOMING DOMINANT Though This Evolution Has Been Slow and Almost Imperceptible Still the is Regarded as of Very Great Importance—Americans and American. Capital are Wanted and Encouraged in A hina But British Capital is Not Welcome. Washington, Sept 27. — Reports com ing here to the officials and to the dip lomaric representatives of Eastern coul tries indicate that the Slavonic, or Russian influence is becoming dammant, and that the Angle-Sax m, or English in fluence, which has hitherto been upper most iu the development of the East is being systematically and surely elimi nated from the control of China and the East. This evolution is regarded as of great importance. The advance of Russian influence and the retirement of the British has come by almost imperceptible stages, none of which has been sufficient in itself to at tract marked attention, but all of them combined toward complete Russian supremacy. At the close of the recent war, Russia dictated the evacuation of the Liao Tung Peninsula and the great fortress of Port Artnur which had been captured by Japan. It i 3 now believed by those ia a position to ce officially in formed of the situation that it is the ultimate purpose of Russia to occupy Port Arthur, and that the formal evacua tion by the Japanese will be followed be fore long by a Russian entry under Chinese approval. After Russia had dictated the retiie ment of the Japanese from Port Arthur, the Russian govefnment advanced the vast sum net e a’y to pay the first in stallment of indemnity to Japan. The amount reached 1100,000,000 in gold, m cludirg the war indemnity and the paj ment lor the release of Port Artnur. Tnis has been followed within the last few days by reports of the establishment at Shanghai of a Russian bank which will be a medium of Cnina’s financial dealings with Russia. These are some of the principal events which are regarded by those in official positions as tending towards Chinese dependence on Russia. While Russia is thus makiDg her hold on the east secure, the English influence is being thrown off by a succession cf events, some of them threatening to oc casion serious trouble. The Chinese have dismissed bir Robt rt Hart from the head of the Customs department. Sir Robert was thf? principal representative of Eng lish influence in Cuiua. He had modeled the Chinese Customs Service on English lines, and officered it with foreigners. His title was confi rred upon him by the Queen, by reason of his conspicuous suc cess in China. His retirement has been followed by a demand by China for the recall ot Mr. O’C jnnor, the British Min ister at Pekin, the ostensible reason being the zealousnees of the minister in the re cent investigation of riots against for eigners, though those conversant with the facts say that the real reason was the influence of Russia. A striking illustration cf the change in China has come to the attention of the officials here. An American gentleman recently arrived in Washinzton as er being in China for some time negotiating for the building of a railroad with American capital. He found the Russian influence so strong that be went to the Russian Ambassador at Pekin to learn if the American project would be viewed with favor by the Russians. The Am bassador said : ‘■Yes. Americans and American cap ital wili bo welcome in the development of China, b*t British capital is not wanted." In the most emphatic man .er the am bassador maue known his opinion that British influence iu China was at an end and that Russia had openly entered upon her cm se controlling and developing: China. TIIE W AR IN MADAGASCAR. The Hovas Intend to right t,<e French to the Bitter End. London, Sept. 27.—C01. Charles Robert Sliervinton, who was formerly Commander-in-chief of the Malagasy forces, which position he resigned in April last, has been interviewed by the Daily News regarding the war in Mada gascar. Col. Shervinton told the reporter that the Hovas intend to fight to the bitter end, and that he is convinced that the French accounts of their victory over the Hovas at Majuga have been ex aggerated for the purpose of cheering the French people. Col. Shervinton said further that it was ridiculous to suppose, as was stated in official dispatches from Mada gascar, this week that the main body of the Hovas aitny had been met forty miles from the eapitol and defeated. The Hovas, Col. Bhei vinten raid, would never expose tho capital by di-patching the ma u body of troops to the front The Frenou expedition has not met the Hovas army, he said, and will not until within twenty miles of tin cipitol. Then, concluded Col. Shervinton, there will be a desperate battle. ’! lie l.oltl Mill Going Out. Washington, I). C., Sept. 27 -The Treasury to-dav lost $1,500,000 in gold for export to Europe, which leaves the true amount of the gold reserve $92,- 705,067 IT IS NOW TWO TO TWO. The Next Race Will Oeclde Between Use Little Fliers. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 27*h.—The fourth race between the English chal lenger, Spruce IV., of the Mi. ama T eht Club, and Ethelwynn, of the Ind:sr Harbor Yacht Club, of Connecticut, war sailed to day on Long Island Sound un der circumstances that were very inter esting. It will be remembered that Ethel wynn quit yesterday after making one round of a cou’se of three miles to leeward, return and repeat. It was said then that the Yankee stopped because M \ Field, her owner, was afraid to trust his boat in a wind that was blowing s .uie fifteen milts an hour and a sea that was at least choppy. Mr. Field retired from the contest personally, but allowed his boat to stall to-day with his crew, Mr. E H. Bali and the latter’s brother, Fred, to run the boat The gentlemen named both did remarkably well and won the race by clever handling, al though it must be said that the opinion of Mr. Brand, expressed after the first race last Saturday, that Etlelwynn was a better boat than Spruce I v , was sus tained by the result. When the morning wind first put in an appearance to-day, it was a small sized gale of 18 miles au hour, aud kicked up a fine sea. It was suggested that a course inside ot Ouster Bty should be laid out. There was iess wind and comparatively smooth water m there. The committeemen wt re unable to agree and decided to let the skippers decide, which they did by the toss of a cent. The Englishman wou and selected the regular route: A start from the center island buoy and over the out side waters of the Sound. The starting gun was given at 2:25 Spruce had a reef in her mainsad when these signals were being given and she went over the line with it 22 seconds ahead of Ethelwynn. A surprise came when Mr. Sturdes after reaching the club house wrote out a protest. He was silent about its con tents, but he handed it over to the com mittee who immediately went into ses sion to act upon it. At about the same time the club members became aware that the official figures of the day were as follows: Start: Spruce IV, 2:25:00; Ethelwynn,2:2s:oo. First mark; Spruce IV, 2:48:03; Ethelwynn, 2:48:08. .Second mark: Ethelwynn, 3:33:36; Spruce IV 3:35:46 Third mark: Ethelwynn, 3:54:39; Spruce IV, 3:56:24. Fourth mark: Ethelwynn, 4:15:05; Spruce IV, 4:1613. Fifth mark: Ethelwynn,4:s4:2o; Spruce IV, 4:55,52. Finish: Etelwynn, 5:11:36; Spruce 1V,5:12:46. RFQUIRtSA TWO-THIRD VOTE. Doubts as to the Ability of Gov, Cul berson to Get His Law Passed. Austin, Texas, Sept. 27. —Gov. Cul berson’s proclamation, issued late Last night, convening the Legislature next Tuesday to enact another prize fight law, was a great surprise. There was some talk to-day that the Populists and other political opponents of the Governor may defeat the object by making a law to go into effect in ninety days. It requires a two thirds vote to give immediate effect. Representative Hame Ward, a leading member of the House, to day said that the Legislature would undoubtedly pass a law, to go into effect at once, and that it would make prize fighting a felony. He thinks that the law will be passed within a week after the Legislature meets. The Sporting Fraternity Not Alarmed. Chicago, Sept. 27. The Chicago sort ing contingent do not seem to be much alarmed at the action taken by the Cov er ior of Texas. They say it is one thing to call the L gislature together and an other to secure the passage of a law pro hibiting fighting. Dan Stuart lari night telegraphed F. E Kenn dy, who expects to run a train to Dallas for the right, that the mill will be brought off iu the Indian Territon if a law was passed for bidding it in Texas. What action Uncle Sam would take if the two pugilists at tempted to tqeet oq his domain is prob iematieal. Cyclone in West Virginia. Huntington, W. Va , S.pt. 27.—A cyclone passed over Green Bottom yes terday doiog great damage to property. Sixteen men were in one barn, which was blown away, and John Sauce and Will Ginbiy were horribly injured by falling timbers. Timothy Blake and Is idore Clarke were seriously injured. The storm lasted only a few moments. Citizens Organize Against White Caps. Nashville, rente, Sept. 27 - Law abidmg citizens of Lewisburg held a mass-meeting, adopted resolutions and organized for the purpose of assisting the shcriif and other officers of the law in arresting and suppressing bands of disguised men who have been committing deeds of violence and robbery iu Lewis burg and Marshall counties. Marked raiders have increased to such an extent that, citizens have taken this step to aid in their suppression. Contracts for New Torpedo Boat*. Washington, I) 0 , Sept. 27 -Score tary Herbert to day awarded to the Her reshoff Manufacturing Company, the contract for building two of the new torpedo boats authorized by the act of the last Congress. Mr. Herreshoff was the lowest bidder, at $144,000 for each boat. The thiai boat will go to Moian Bros., of Beattie, Wa h., it the depart ment is satisfied of their ability to do the work. RALEIGH, H. C.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 1895. IS DARK FOR DURRANT HIS ATTORNEYS OFFER LITTLE IN REFUTATION OF THE STATE’S CASE. HIS CASE GROWS MORE HOPELESS Hi* Alibi lias not a Log Left to Stand on am! His Lawyers Seem to be Groping In the Dark—Hut Durrani Shows no Sign of Emotion as he sits by His Parents Day After Day and Listens to the Evidence Against Him --Testimony of the Two Gas Fitters. San Francisco,Cal., Sept. 27.—IfDur rant has anything tangible upon which to base his denial of the charge that h rnurdeced Blanch Larnont and Minnie Williams, his attorneys have faded to give satisfactory evidence of the fact. After two days devoted to testimony of the defense, tho trial was adjourned at noon to day until next Tuesday. In the meantime, however, the defense had disclosed enough to sat isfy the prosecution that Durrant’s at torueys are groping in thedaik in iht hope that something will develop within the next few days to save the prisoner's life. The weakness of the defense is made more apparent at this time on account of the extravagant assertions that Durrant’s attorneys have uniformly made since the trial began. When the prosecution wasen gaged in putting in its case,and thesitua tion looked darkest for Durrant, Atfor ney Duprey was accustomed to snap his fingers and remarked that he had no fears for the future of his client. “We will clear him ia three minute-,’’ said Duprey, “and the public will be at a loss to understand how Durrant’s name was ever connected with the case.” The same line of extravagant claims was continued when Attorney Duprey made his opening speech for the defense. “Not only will the prisoner tell with his own lip 3 the simple story of his life on the day that Blanche Lamont was mur dered,” said Duprey, “but Dr. Cheney will tell you that Durrant was at the Cooper Medical College' at the very hour when the murder of Blanche Lamont is said to have taken p’icj. Besides that, we will prove to jou that Durrant never tried to pasn Miss Lament's ring at Oppenheima’store. On the contrary, we will bring forward the young man who did try to pavn a ring at Oppenheims’ similar to the one worn by Miss Lamont.” la view of these startling statements, it was first believed that the defence might have a strong ease held iu reserve which would pat to a severe tent the ease of the prosecution. In one day, how ever, the ease of the defence crumbled and fell of its own weight, and to day Durrant’s alibi has not a leg upon which to stand. Dr. Cheney, who was expected to tell so much for the defense was as strong a witness for the prosecu tion as has taken the stand during the trial. Instead of fulfilling Duprey's statement, and swearing teat. Durrant attended a lecture at Cooper Medical College oa April 3, he said he had no recollection of seeing the young medical student there. The den al dumb founded tn« defense. If further proof were needed on the belief that the defense has little to offer in refutation of the ease put forward by the prosecution, it was furnished to-day. Instead of p’acirg witnesses on the stand to testify to some material facts in connection with Durrant's alib', two gas filteis weae called to testify with rigard to the suuburners in the gallery of Eajanuelchurch. For two hours the crowd was bored and the jury made tired by a long series of questions and answers relathe totheminu estpart of the construction of a sun burner. Not once during the entire session was the name of Blanche Lamont mentioned, nor was anything said to indicate that it was not a suit to collect a plumber’s bill instead of a murder trial chat was before the court. Toe evideut purpose of the examination, ho.,e,er, was to show that the repairing of sun burners would necessarily r.\ in the ei ape of a gieat deal of gas. This tes timony will ae used to substantiate Dur rani’* ,-tory that he was suffering from asphyxiation when he came down from the church b jlfry, trembling an ’ t! islnd and met organist Feng in the audi torium. A significant feature of the testimony of the two gas fitters was the fact that each testified that he made au examioa tion of the sun burners in Emanuel Church on September 21. The prosecu tion interprets this to mean the defense had nothing upon w hich to base a case uutil the case of the people was nearly completed. Only when confronted by the actual necessity ot opening its case, it is believed that the defense m uie an attempt tr secure witnesses to testify with regard to sun burners. The appar ent hopelessness of his case, however, produced no change in the demeanor of Durrant. Day after da> he sits in the court room beside his father and mother and listen? to the evidence against him w tooul a sign of emotion. This stoi cism o:i the part of the prisoner is only surpassed by th t of his mother. Mi>. Durrant seems to have no eoncep tion of the gravity of her son’s situation Attired in waving plumes and a tailor made gown,such as a lady might wear at a matinee, she laughs and chats with 1 er friends while the evidence that the prose eution believes will hang her sou is be iiig put in against him. To frequenters of the court room, Mrs. Durrani’s con duct is almost as unfathomable as that of her sou. AND NOW JOE PatchEN AA INS. The Big Black AA’as Too Much for Julia R. Gentry Yesterday. Sioux City, lowa, Sept. 27.—Fifteen thousand people attended the races at the SiGU.x City Fair to-day. The great race between Joe Patchen and John R. G utry was the main event of the day, and it proved a big card. In the first, Patchen had the pole and led to the stretch, when Gentry passed him and won. Time iu the last quarter o' the heat, 28 12, is one of the fastest on re cord. Only one other last quarter, it is said, was ever done in better time. This was made by Joe Patchen and was 281 4. In the second heat, Gentry had the pole, and the race was nip and tuck all the way around. In the stretch Gentry made a grand effort to pass the big black but failed, and Patchen came in under the wire a neck ahead, amid the cheers of thousands. In the next heat Patchen had au easier victory, coming in a full length ahead The track was in excellent condition and had be en especially prepared for the race. As it was, the time in tho second heat, 2 04, equal: Patcheu’s record. Summary. $3,000 match race, best two in three: Gentry won first heat by a length. Time: 2.03.

REIGN OF TERROR I M ARME'D. A Church Raided and Ten Armenians Massacred. Varna, Sept 27. —Advices from An tioch state that Ottoman officials there have succeeded in exciting Mussulmans with the report of an impending mas sacre by Armenians.

Constantinople, Sjpt, 27.—An Ar meman named Guerjian, who claimed to be a citiz r.*_: the United States, was re eently sentenced to a long term of im prisonment upon the charge of being an emissary of an Armenian revolutionary society. The United States Codsul at AlepjK), where Gerj: an was con fined, was not allowed by the authorities to visit the prisoner. Mr. Alexander W. Terrell, the United Statas Minister to Turkey de manded of the Sublime Porte that sen tence in the case of Guerjian be su pend ed until it could be ascertained whether or not he had forfeited the right of pro teetion by the United States. The Porte has now telegraphed to the authorities at Aleppo to allow the United States Con sul to investigate the ease and to see the prisoner. AND If ENDED IN A TRAGEDY.

A SHORT COTTON CROP TIIE UPWARD MOVEMENT IN PRICE A FEATURE OF TIIE (WEEK’S BUSIN ESS. THE WEEKLY TRADE REVIEWS Other Striking Features of the Week Are liiereaNed Demand for Money, Ea-t and West, and ihe Widespread and Active Demand for Iron and Stccl—Grain Producers in the West Will Hold Their Wheat lor Higher Prices—Failures for the Week. New York, S pt. 27.—R G. Duu & Co's weekly review of trade will say : The speculation in cotton has lifted the price five eighths during the past week, and quotations here are so muffi higher than at Liverpool that, free ex ports cannot be expected. It seems no kmger possible to hope for a good crop, and Neill Bros, have issued a circular predicting a yield of 7,000,000 bales. T ;e accounts of injury and loss gro v more dismal every week, and while they may be somewhat exaggerated, the sen era! outlook is decidedly unfavorable But for the extraordinary supplies cur tied over from last year, the manufac turer h .-re gnd abroad would be in trouble. But prices of goods rise each week, adding to the p oflts of miils, which on both sides o* the ocean can use, for some rime to come, old cotton bougi t at low prices. It. is not yet clear how far the con sumption will support the manufacturer at trie preseut rate and at present prices for goods, though the demaud from deal ers is naturally urgent, while the market for the raw material is constantly rising There is still some chance of a strike in Fall River mills, though the rise in prices will make it et sier for the mills to grant some advance in wages. Nothing is clear about the iron and steel manufacture, but some of the largest Pittsburg concern?, professing to have orders for many months ahead, are bidding for small coutracts in east ern markets at $l to $l 50 per ton less than quoted rate. Some say that it is done to di press the market, and again it is thought that the object may be to ouy materia!. Contracts have been made at the east for 250 tons of foreign ore to be used in Bessemer iron making at eastern furnaces, and the termination of the Margette strike sets free about half a million tons more of Bessemer ore within the period of lake navigation. Failures for she week have teen 216 in the United States, against 235 last year and 50 in Canada against 55 last year. Bradstreet’s Weekly Review. New York, Sept. 27--Bradstreet’s to morrow will say: Striking features of the week are in creased demaud for money, east and west; the maintenance of the widespread and active demand for iron and steel, and the further upward movement of the price of raw cotton, together with ad vances in quotations for wheat flour, wheat and wool. Sudden changes in the weather affecting a wide expansion of territory have made general trade irregular but reports from those sections unfavorably affected are in part offset by the stimulation of demand for certain staples in other portions of the country. General business at the south has shown improvement at Memphis, Nash ville, Atlanta and Birmingham; demand for funds there is improving and all that appears needed is a freer movement of cotton. On the Pacific Coast, Seattle continues to ship general merchandise to Central America and to Alaska freely, and Tacoma reports the wholesale grocery business heavier there than in 1894, with the Alaska trade improving. General business at San Francisco is comparatively quite. The canned fruit output at California will be about equal to that of last year. Telegrams to Bradstreet’s from widely different points seem to indicate a very general intention on the part of grain producers to hold their wheat for higher prices This refers to spring wheat ter ritory tributary to Minneapolis and to the wheat couutry in Oregon. Wheat exports from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week (which o.tt flour as wheat) are the largest since last March, 3,151,000 bushels against 2,538,000 bushels last week, 2, 562,000 bushels iu the week one year ago, aud as compared with 3,189,000 bushels two years ago, aud with 4,017,000 bush els three years ago. • tank Clearings far th* Week.

His posi tion in favor of putting a Virginia Democratic boycott on all prominent National Democrats is antagonized by a large element in his party. PRICE FIVE CENTS. EIGHT, PASSENGERS INJURED.

Mr. Moir said, in an interview to-day: “I have long w ished to build a yacht to compete for tue America's cup. I wrote a challenge, which was published first in the Financial News last week. Since then Mr. Rose has challenged for the cup. “I first started in yachting in Sydney harbor Like all good yachtsmen and Australians, 1 did not see why the cup should remain in America.
