SLAUGHTER OF MULES. Manila, October <>.—(4:4o I*. M.)— The United States transport Siam, which left San Francisco, August 10th, with upwards of 3110 valuable mules, the coming of which had been anxious ly awaited as mules are in great de mand for continuing the campaign, ar rived this morning and reported that all hut nineteen of the animals had been lost in two severe typhoons, under peculiarly distressing conditions. The Siam, which left Honolulu thirty one days ago, encountered the typhoons early this week. One lasted forty hours. Most of the forage, w hich was on deck, was swept overboard, all the boats were smashed and the steamer rolled tre mendously in the trough of the sea al though the officers made every effort to bring her about. The mules were hurled from side to side and frightfully mangled and disem boweled. Their legs ami necks were broken and the wretched animals fell in such a confused mass that the at tendants were unable to relieve them. In the meantime the deckload was washed off, the ship lightened and the rolling increased. When the storm aba ted the injured animals were killed and their carcasses thrown overboard. When the Siam arrived her propeller was high out of the water and the wrecks of her boats were hanging from the davits. COTTON MILL TRUST ACTIVE. Trying to Buy the CUva-pel Hill Mill—l)r.

He Prefer a House Already Built The Fund Now $50,000. Washington, Oct. <1. —Admiral Dewey has elected to accept a house in Wash ington already constructed Instead of having one built for his occupation. In accordance with the invitationi of tin* committee which has had in charge the Dewey Fund, he called at the office of Acting Secretary' Allen in the Navy De partment, at 11 o’clock today, to indi cate his preferences in the matter of i residence. There were present besides Mr. Allen, Assistant ISecwtary Vaiuler- Hp, Assistant Poefimiaster General Heath ami General Corbin. The Admiral was officially informed of -the jairixise of til-' people of the United States to present him with a home in Washington. He frankly expressed his gratification at the tender which he immedfiately accepted. He said had the proposed l home been the gift of a few wealthy men he should feel indisposed to accept it. But in* note 1 that the fund had over 43,000 subscrib ers, indicating that the home was to be really the gift of the American people and as such In* would accept it with .ts amicih pleasure -as he had the sword be stowed upon* him by Congress. Then the talk turned upon the loca tion of the residence and the Admiral showed a decided preference for tin* se> t'ion in which. lie liad made iiis home during his former details of duty in AN ashington. lie wished the house to be located in the northwest section, some where west of Kith street, am-1 not t<a» far north, tints indicating 1 the indglibor hood of his funner residence and the chiles where In* had sqient a good deal of his leisure time. First of all, he wanted the lionise at the earliest possible mo ment, so that lie might “go fcn and hang up his Yat at once,” as Oie put it. Os course that .pr<*olii*h*d the iilea of erect ing a house to meet hii-s sqxx-iaJ needs. He expressed his ideas as lo the eh-ar acter of tile home lie desires, and asked that the house be modest enough in ap pomfiments ami cost to permit of the retention of a sufficient sum of money from the purchase fund to defray the expence of furnishing. The committee listened attentively <•» all of these wishes and saw no reason why each and all could not be gratified. The Admiral is going 1o New York and will stop over if lie can to sis- the yacht race on his way to Shebbume Farms. Vermont. He exjiects to return to AA'ashiington in the course of a v/oek. Meanwhile, tin- house committee. hav ing invited written pro]sisals of proper ties will go through the list carefully and hope to 'be able to present to * In* Admiral on his return as many as half a dozen available houses from which he may make a personal selection. The fund at the disjiosal of the committee now amounts to about $50,900, and it is earnestly desired that this sum may be substantially increased during the time remaining before the oil reins-.

ItALEIGII, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 7, 1899. BRYAN 111 CANTON WITH M'KINLEY Bryan Speaks to an Immense Audience. HE FOLLOWS McKINLEY THE TWO MEN B'HAKE HANDS HEARTILY. AMONG THE FIRST TO GREET McKINLEY The President Spoke ot *he Flag, Prosperity, the Union of the Sections. Bryan Spoke of Silver, Trusts and Imperialism. Canton, Ills., October 0. —Colonel NY. J. Bryan visited the Canton Street Fair today and delivered an address in the public square to an immense audience. He said: “The silver question is not dead, not withstanding tin* fai t that for a num ber of years our Republican- friends have bet'll claiming that if has been interred. They claim that the jK-ople settled the silver question in 189(5, but this is not true, 'i'lie only party before flit* people in that campaign that had a gold stand ard platform was tile gold Democratic party ami that party carried ordy one township and that was in AVesfem Kan sas. which had in it only six voters. Tliiis dot's not appear to mt* to lie a settlement of the silver question,” He then paid his respects to the trusts,which lie said have in the main grown up within the l ist few years as the result of the Republican legisla tion. lit* did not agree with Mark Ilauna “who” said Colonel Bryan, “re cently said after returning' from Eng land that the English system of gov ernment was as good if not better than the American system.” Alxint half of bis address was devo ted to the foreign policy of tin* Annin ist rat ion. claiming that its trend was i; the direction of imperiali-m. The war in the Philippines, lie said, was a war of conquest and not one in tin* interest of Rej oblican Government. He wanted the Filipinos treated as the Government has promised to treat the Cubans. In stead of lining what was being done lie thought it would have lx**-n better for Admiral Dewey after destroying the Spanish fleet to have left for home. AIcKI NLEY’S SPEECH.

Our second great triumph is the triumph of prosperity. The busy mills, the active industries, tin* general prosperity, have scattered plenty o’er a smiling country. Our third great-triumph Is the triumph we have had over sectionalism. AYe are no longer a divided people, and who stirs up animosities hot ween the North and South is denied a hearing in Ixntli sections.

Last Night it Looked as if the Race To-day ( Would Come off in a Good Stiff Breeze. New A’ork. Oetuln-r o.—This has been a day of rest on ls»ard the International racers. The Columbia was towed from Sandy Hook to Bay Ridge to get her out of any danger from the north easter. The Shamrock remained at her anchorage at the Hook, her ix*ople will ing to take the chances. The wind blew up pretty fresh about six o’clock, but there was nothing to threaten harm to a paeht so well protected by tenders and tugs to say nothing of the powerful Erin. The feeling on both sides is one of confidence. Air. Iselin thinks lit* will win. Sir Thomas Upton has a nice little comer in the Erin all ready for the cup. The public is in doubt, and it must be said that there is a feeling of indecision among exi>ert yachtsmen. The two days of drifting have furnished 1 almost nothing on which to base opinion. They have, however, seemed to strengthen the In-lief that tin* Shamrock is a thoroughly dangerous proposition. This is now a well grounded opinion, and if the two days of light airs have done anything they have shaken that <Min li dent feeling that lias prevailed among the backers of tin* Columbia. Those who have watched most closely every movement of the two yachts are firm in the belief that there is little to choose between them in a drift, and when it is reinemlKTed that the Sham rock people have never asserted that sin* was a drifter it can readily lx* un derstood that there is reason for the rise in Shamrock stock. It now looks as though tin* first race to a finish would come in a good stiff breeze. At sundown the wind was Wowing hard from the north. Tile weather was clearing and there wen* good signs of a pretty hard nothwester in the morning. If it conics the world will see the greatest struggle for yachting suprem acy in the history of international rac ing. The observer at Galilee, X. ,T., tonight reports: “The wind tonight is north-nortlnvest, with a heavy sen running. The indica tions are that there will be a fresh wind at I lie oominencemen't of the race tomorrow, also a heavy sea, but that the sea will go down a-s the race pro ceeds.” At 10 o'clock tonight reports were re ceived from Bay Ridge, Long 'lsland, to the effect that the wind is moderating. T'lu* Columbia at that time "was riding safely at anchor off Bay Ridge. At 10 o’clock tonight the following dis patch was (received ‘from Sandy Hook: "NN ind still from the north mad blow ing at the rate of .’l2 miles an hou.\ The «ki<*s are clear. There lias been no change in the position of the Shamrock, the 'E-rini or the teiwh-r. Everything aiqx-ars all right from the olbservacory.’’ RUN ON ER BY AN ENGINE. Father and Daughter Frightfully Alan gled.—Both Die. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. o—AYhiie Air. James J.

KRUGER HOLDING BOERS IN CHECK Both Sides Averse to Striking the First Blow. THE TROOPS SEE VISIONS EYERY CLOUD OF DUST BE COAI E'S A SQUADRON. DESTATE FOR WAR GROWS IN ENGLAND Dispatches from the Scene of Possible Hostili ties Meanwhile Grow More and Mora Lurid. “Ridiculous” Story of Vic toria’s Intended Abdication. London, Oct. (5. —Tin- few dispatches received recording military movements at various points all tend to confirm the belief that President Kruger will re strain any forward movement by the Boers, unless they are fired upon or war is actually declared. It is now practically certain that Parliament will meet on October 17th. Reserves will lx- summoned tomorrow in sufficient: number to bring up to n war strength the regiments warned to hold themselves in readiness for service in South Africa, or about one sixteenth of the total reserve. A dispatch from Mafeking announces that Commandant Cronje, of the Boer forces, has been promoted to the rank of General, and is massing six thousand Boers, with artillery, near Kamathla bama>, north of Mafeking. The dispatch adds that General Cronje has sent a message to the camp of the imperial trooiw that he will cross tin* border at tin* first shot fired in Natal. It is stated that Right Honorable Har ry Eseomlw*, former Premier of Natal, is going to Pretoria in the interest of peace. 11. AI. S. Philomel suddenly left Dur ban today for DeLagna Bay. All tin- reliable intelligence from South Africa ]x>ints to a continuance of the existing situation for some time, as both sides are apparently diffident about commencing an attack, although, from tin* dispatches received here, it seems as if every movement of a patrol, and every cloud of dust raised by a herd of cattle were turned into a general ad vance by both armies. A well defined conviction is prevalent that the Foreign Office is trying to dis cover away out of the impasse which has been created by admitted mistake's and miscalculations; and it is evident that peace advocates and peace counsels are gaining ground. However, Air. Chamberlain’s refusal to seize the chance given him by the petition of 58 members of the Cape House of Assembly to point out, in his reply, that the Boers still have an opportunity of accepting Great Britain’s previous offer, so long as her new proposals remain nnformulated, seems to show a personal determination on the part of Secretary of State for the Colonies, not to yield an iota in the interest of peace. NN’hile the distaste for war evidently increases in Great Britain, dispatches from the scene of possible hostilities grow more and more lurid. Advices from Pretoria describe the Transvaal organs as crying for impossi ble terms and President Kruger as refer ring to prospective struggle as a means of setting tin- republic “totally free of England.” •*« In connection with rumors that Qm-en Victoria is liable to intervene to prevent war, a curious story is published this morning by the A'ienna Kstrablatt, which alleges that Her Majesty intends to ab dicate in tlu* event of an outbreak of hostilities, declaring that it has this in formation' from “an excellent source.” The 'statement unfavorably affected the Vienna bourse. The British Foreign Office when shown the Vienna story, declared it “su premely ridiculous” and “utterly base less.” SEIZED B,(MM) TONS OF COAL. London. Oct. i>. —The Cup*- Town cor respondent of tin- Daily .Mail says: “A sensation has been caused here by the report that the Free State Govern ment has comma n dei-ded S,(MM) tons ui coal belonging to the Claim- Government.

Son Believed to Have Been Under the Influence of Liquor. Charleston, S. 0., Oct. <l.—News has just been received of a terrible tragedy at Lydia, Darlington county, yesterday afternoon. Dr. Maxey Lee, a prominent physician, 30 years of age, shot and fa tally wounded his own father, Dr. 11. J. Lee. The shooting seems to have been the result of the father rebuking tin son for some angry words six»ken to the housekeeper. The two doctors live and practice together. The .younger was in Darlington yesterday drinking, and that may account for the tragedy. The Lee family is one of the most prominent in the county. PRICE FIVE CENTS. NAVAL K-STIAIATES READY.
