The official compilation at the Cus tom House of the export* of cotton from this port for the month or Sep tember show that during this period 42.484 bales, or 21,811,643 pounds, of the staple have been shipped to foreign markets.

WELCOMED TO THE CAPITAL (Continued from first page.) and received from Mrs. McKinley, ns well as the President, a most hearty welcome home. Returning to the library, the President invited his Cabinet associates to meet the Admiral. Secretary Huy headed the party, followed by Secretary Hitchcock, Postmaster General Smith, Attorney General Griggs, Secretary Root, and Secretary Wilson. Former Secretary Alger was also present, having lx*en re quested by tin- President to join the party, and was among those to meet the Admiral. The greetings with tihe Cabinet wen brief. Then the President and Admiral Dewey headed the party toward the re viewing stand. They passed out ol’ tin rear of tin- White House, down tin gravel walks and out to the street in rear of the Treasury. The crowd seenn ed to know that the hero was approach ing for a great wave of cheering went up and Pennsylvania Avenue was bathed in light from end to end. Tin- stand had been erected at the head of Pennsylvania avenue, just south of the Treasury Department 'building, and as Admiral Dewey moved through th staml to the prow built out from the front, leaning oti the arm of IYesideiu McKinley, the crowd started a mighty enoer. which passed down the avenue and was taken up for blocks. The Ad miral frequently bowed his acknowledg ments. The President and; Admiral Dewey were joined at the front of tin stand by .Secretaries Hay, Root, Hitch cock and Wilsoni. and Postmaster Gen eral Smith, the offieerifc of the Olympia and other naval official!! As tin- cheer ing at length died away the Admiral turned to Mr. McKinley and the two seating themselv*** cut (-red into conver sation. while awaiting the arrival of the procession. The head of th civic parade, which had been arranged' in honor of the Admiral Ix-gan to i«is* in review before him short ly after 6 o’clock. There were many novel and interesting features relieving the sameness of the ordinary civic pa rade. The spectacle, as the marchers came up the length of the evenne in th -of the red lights, under sweeping arches of stars from thousands of ro man candle# was beautiful and impres sive. The beginning of the march was heralded by the bursting of thopsands oif gin rut crackers, while bombs along the line sent up showers of fire into tin air. The crowd was so eager to see Dewey that they spoiled the effectiveness of this part of the arrangements by break ing through the ropes and surging about the grand stand where they gave vent to wild cheering and a noisy demon stration that completely njwet this part of the review. Admiral Dewey gave frequent acknowledgement to the cheers for him and seeing that the review had lost its distinctive character as a pro cession quitted his place early and with the President, followed by the membera of the Cabinet, left the stand, the Admi ral proceeding to the home of hi# hos tess, Mrs. McLean and some of the others accompanying the President to the White House. The procession was in line for a half hour later and there were frequent salute# in ignorance of the Admiral’s absence. It was 9:10 o’clock when the fatigued recipient of the day's demonstrations reached the residence of Mrs. Washing ton McLean, mother of the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, on K street, facing Farragut Square. He was accompanied- by Chairman Moses, his two aids. Lieutenants Brumby and Caldwell and his son George G. Dewey. The Admiral was nw-t at the head of the staircase by Mrs. McLean, and her daughters, Mrs. Hazen and Mrs. Lud low, and her grandson, Captain Fred erick Burger. Mrs. McLean welcomed the Admiral and turned over the house to him, for use during his stay in. Wash ington. Mrs. McLean and the members of her family then left, going to her country residence Beauvoir, in the su burbs of Washington. The Admiral had arrived sooner than was expected, and before a crowd had collected. Presently the people surged in on all sides, and for some time would not believe the officer who said the Admiral was inside. A band came up and serenaded the Ad miral, the crowd cheered and cheered, and finally Dewey appeared at the win dow and bowed his acknowledgements. Cries of “Speech, speech,” were heard on every side, but met with no response. Luncheon was served by 9:30 and the Admiral retired, though crowds 'lingered about the house for some time. IS THE ADMIRAL TO MARRY? His Name Linked With That of a Wealthy Washington Widow. (Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.) Washington, Oct. 1, —Admiral Dewey, who was never known to capitulate to anyone but a woman, is said now by the gossips to have surrendered to the charms of a widow who has made her home in Washington for years. Since his arrival in New York it has been currently ru mored here that the Admiral is engaged to Mrs.. Hazen, the widow of General Hazen, a sister of John R. McLean, and daughter of Mrs. Washington McLean, at whose residence the Admiral will stay while in Washington this week. Several month# ago the Admiral was reported to have been engaged to anoth er lady in Washington, hut this report seemed to have no basis of fact. Mrs. Hazen, to whom he is now said to be engaged, is a striking widow, wealthy and one of the society leaders of the city. Her sister three years ago, who was then Mrs. Bugher, and very wealthy, married Capt. Nieoll Ludlow, of the Navy. It was at. one time reported Mr. Herbert, when Secretary of the Navy, was engaged to her. Mrs. Bugher was not only rich, but very attractive per sonally. Captain Ludlow was a if' officer of striking appearance and, like Admiral Dewey, a widower. As Admiral of the Navy Dewey holds a position scarcely second to any ex cept the President. It is one, too, of leisure and assured service always in Washington, with little more to do than in<ake an annual report to the Secretary At least that is all Admiral Porter did. With a fine house presented to him by the people of the country and a salary approaching $15,000, Admiral Dewey may be regarded as a “catch,” and u man that perhaps few widows, no mat ter how eligible, would decline. He is not quite 62 years of age, fine looking, vigorous and accustomed to polite so ciety- It is quite certain the Admiral will not he let alone by matchmakers and gos sips, and his name will be connected in the matrimonial line with someone until he is either married or society abandons hope of getting him married. A STATEMENT. I. D. Parrish & Son Make a Statement With Reference to Cert aim Beef. To the Editor: In your issue of the 20tih hist, there appears a certain article on “had beef” which, without further explanation, does us great injustice. Knowing that no harm was intended by the publication, and Ixfiieving that you acted hi good faith an giving the matter publicity, we ask to be heard 1 in reply. 'The beef offered for sale was butchered 'Monday at 10 a. in. and forwarded to Raleigh through tire country. It arrived there after Mr. U'rawford (to whom it was directed) had closed up for tin night, mild so had to be kept on tin* wagon till morning. We are not sur prised that the meat should have soured wit him that time-tying in bulk all might, after having been hauled about thirty five miles, exposed to the sun. The cow was apparently in perfect health when fed Monday morning, and ate heartily, as usual. A few hours later, when her condition was discovered, we thought it lx-st to -butcher her, be ing advised by parties Whose experience we thought warranted us in heeding their suggestions that the meat was not less fit for food. Our local butcher offer ed four cents per pound 'here, which is as high as he generally pays. 'Having other produce which we wished to place on the 'Raleigh market, we thought we could we'll afford to haul it for one dol lar per hundred, and so refused tin- of fer. and sent it to Raleigh. We would be as far as any one from offering sijhfiled meat on the market, and commend’ the authorities for their action in condemning it, after it had soured. Neither do we blame any one for giving the matter publicity, not knowing but that it was a willful attempt to impose on the public and endanger the health of the people. Such, however, was not oar purpose. The above is a true statement, and we hope will set the mutter at rest. Yours very truly. .1. I>. PARRIBIH & SON. Benson, N.
