THE INTEREST IN THIS SENSATION UNABATED. TIio Woman to be Tried on a Writ of Habeas Corpus Itentlensness Over the Delay In the Street Railway ITIatter County Convicts ' Escape. - MESSENGER BUREAU, Raleigh. N. C. May 21, 1 There is little or no abatement in the sensation caused by the "baby aban donment" case. Last night Officer Beasley of the police force was sent down to Henderson for the woman ar rested. He relumed to this city to-day. He reports that she is held in Hender son under a writ of habeas corpus re turnable before Judge Whitaker to morrow. No action looking to the arrest of the man passing under the name of Ed wards has been taken, but the mayor is advising with the city attorney on the subject. There is considerable restlessness among our people owing to the delay in commencing operations. on the elec tric street railway. It' is supposed, however, that matters are being set tled up with the old company and it is hoped that work will oegin in time to have the road in running order by the exp sltion. While a force of work -house hands were engaged in working the road near the southern limits of the city yesterday af tornoon, a break was made and two escaped. They were fired upon by the guard without effect. Contributions for the Soldier's Hone are daily being received and the refuge will soon be in a comfortable condition. Donations thould he di rected to W. C. Stronach, Raleigh, N.C. The Railroad Commission is still in session hearing arguments of road offi cials. A fuil investigation will be al lowed, and the Commission will prob ably be here for several days yet. It will be at least the middle of June before payments of direct taxes will commence. There are about 30,000 names to be copied and sent out, which.

The daily output of the mills will be, for the present, about 5,000 pounds of paper with facilities for .increasing the same to 8,000. THE CHICAGO MARKETS. Tendency of Wheat Prices I'pward Corn and Oats Closed Lower Than the OpeningProvisions Ilather Weak. Chicago, May 21. There was heavy trading in wheat to-day, many round lots changing hands. Before the open ing the bears anticipated lower prices as the result of continued rains in the wheat belt and lower foreign markets, but the sentiment of the trade was against them almost from the outsetand though they succeeded in engineering two or three breaks during the course of the session, the general tendency of prices was upward and the close was firm at the top fieures of the days. The Items of news which, favored the bull side were reports that an area of low temperature was spreading over the Northwestern wheat belt, and notifica tion by the Government signal service that severe frosts might be expected in Iowa and Wisconsin to-night. July, which closed at 100 yesterday, opened at;99i99S, sold up to 100i. eased off to 99i, advanced to 100i, de clined to i91 and rallied to 100. By this time the email shorts had become thoroughly scared, and when near the close dispatches came in reporting large engagements for prompt ship ment from the seaboard and heavy char ters here, they rushed in to coyer, lift ing the price to 100f. Corn opened weak on account of fine growing rains in the corn belt and re ceipts in excess of the amount expect ed, but rallied with wheat and in cov eriog by the shorts. July opened 555 56!, sold down to 65i, up to 56 and off to 6oi. The closing rally in wheat lifted it to 654. Oats were governed by corn and went down with it. Provisions had a weakening influence in large receipts of hogs ami weakness in corn though the fluctuations were narrow. Ju'y pork sh ws a loss com pared with yesterday .of 5 cents. July lard is unchanged and July ribs are lli cents higher. THE LUMBER LOCKOUT. The Situation Unchanged The Steel Plate Prlnters's Strike. New York, May 21. The settlement of the lumber lockout is as far off as ever. The sub-committee appointed by the dealers wanted the men to sur render unconditionally in the Charles Bucki matter aDd they will not con sent. In consequence, the situation it as complicated as ever. . The strike of 130 steel plate printers employed by the American Bank Note company continues. The men struck because the company refused to dis cbarge three non-union hands who have been employed for the last eighteen years. Two of the men are veterans of war and the company claim that they once applied lor admission to the union and were refused. The "company will hold open the presses of the strikers .,n Mxnilav anA. it thpv dn not re turn to work then, new men will be employed. tiravesend Ilaces. Gravesend, N. Y.. May 21.

A Paris dis patch stating that the Itata is to be peaceably surrendered to the United States by the insurgents upon her ar rival in Chili was shown to the officials of the Navy and State Departments to day but one and all declined to discuss the matter publicly. Nevertheless, it can be slated positively that there have been no negotiations, as reported, between the insurgent agents in France or elsewhere and this Govern ment respecting the Itata. There is reason to believe that this Government expects that the Itata will be peaceably surrendered to the United States- by the insurgents when she reaches Iquique. but that when so sur rendered she will be found to have dis charged her arms and munitions of war. It is surmised that if the Itata did not place her arms aboard the Es meralda, the latter probably a r ran gad a rendezvous for her and one of the in surgent ships now at Iquique, so as to admit of a transfer at some specific point at sea. Besides arms the Itata had aboard a large quantity of flour, which Is very valuable now in Chili, but, as this is not a contraband of war, there would probably be little difficulty in securing its delivery to .the insurgents. The surrender of the Itata might prove to be a stroke of good policy for the in surgents, particularly after they have secured her stores. The obiect of libelling the ship in California was to determine wheiher she had violated the neutrality laws. If she stands a trial on that charge the status of the insurgent must be judicially determined as a pre liminary. If it is held that they are "Belligerents" according to prece dents, and the definition of Interna tional law, the insurgents will have realized a substantial advantage and all that they risk is the loss by forfeit ure of an empty vessel. Nothing has been heard at the De partment vet of the Charleston. She is due at Panama to-day but it may be that she has proceeded straight on to Payta, Peru. Washington, May 21. The Secre tary of the Treasury to dav directed the dismissal of sixteen employes and the reduction in compensation of fifteen others in the customs service at Bos ton, making an annual reduction of $25,000. These changes are in the col lectors'and surveyors' departments and take effect June 1st. They are in ad dition to some half a dozen previously ordered. ' Collections of internal revenues dur ing the first ten months of the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1891, were $119, 936,221, an increase of 5,39i).4S3 as com pared with collections during the cor responding period of the previous fiscal year. The collections were as follows: On spirits, $68,370,043, an increase of $2,448,258; on tobacco, $27,860,866. an increase of $2,168,084;on oleomargarine, $880,761, an increase of $239,845; on miscellaneous, $233,709, an increase of $108,242. The aggregate receipts for April 1891, were $2,190,795 less than for April 1890. Speaking of this subject this after noon, Commissioner of Internal Reve nue Mason said: "It will be noticed that there is a decrease in the receipts for special taxes on. rectifiers, whole sale and retail liquor dealers and man ulacturers of stills far the month of April of $1,254,889. In the special taxes on brewers and wholesale and retail dealers in malt liquors of $115,425, and in special taxes on manufacturers of and wholesale dealers in oleomas a rfre of $11,880, making an aggregate less from these items of $1,381,694. This is due to the fact that the last Congress changed the special tax" year so as to commence on July 1st instead I of May 1st. Collectors therefore on May 1st collected only two months taxes, from May 1st to July 1st, instead of twelve months' taxes." The total amount of special taxes collected during the last fiscal year was $7,342,yb3. Congress, however, has repeated all of special taxes re lating to cigars and tobacco, thus taking off $1,515,481, leaving a balance of special taxes which would have been payable on May 1st, but for this change of law. of $5,826,602. So that instead of Dearly $6,000,000 being due May 1st there was in fact less than 91,000,000 and as a considerable part Of the tax due on May 1st was paid in April there was a decrease in the special taxes for May of 1 1,3S1.694. This will be made up, however, in the montDs of June and July, when the taxes for the new fiseal year will be collected. There is a decrease in the amount collected from tobacco and snuff as compared with the amount collected during the same months of the last fis cal year. This Is due to the change in the tax educing the tax from 8 to 6 cents per pound. Notwithstanding all these reductions there U still an increase in the total amount collected of $5,399,482 for the ten months ending April 30th, 1891, as compared with the same months of the previous year. Washington, May 21. It can be statea on the highest authority that Gen. Raum, Commissioner of Pensions, has not resigned and that he has re ceived no intimation from the Presi dent that his resignation is desired. It is stated; upon what appears to be good authority, that the Civil Service Com mission has made a report, not only to the- Secretary of the Interior, but to the Attorney General, in the recent case of Green B. RaunJr.vaBd-others, alleged to have been concerned in the appointment of a man named SraLh to a position in the Pension office, in which they express their 'belief that all have violated the civil service law.

CRITICAL FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL SITUATION IN PORTUGAL. , Rumors of Agreement Concerning the Itata Invasion of England by Rus sian Jews-Five Thousand Rus sian Prisoners tor Slbma Died to Save Others. Paris, May 21. The Chilian agen's in this city who represent the Con gressional or insurgent party, declare to-day that arrangements have been made between the Congressional party and the United States authorities by which ' the insurgent steamer Itata, which is now being chased down the west coast of America by the United States warship Charleston, will not be seized by force by the Charleston or by any other vessel of the American navy. By the terms of this arrangement, the agents here state the fugitive craft will be handed over by the Chilian insur gents to the United States authorities pending the settlement of the question in dispute as to whether or not tho Itata has violated the neutrality laws. This action, it is added, will be taken without prejudice to the Congressional party, insomuch as the Ttata has enough the start of the Charleston to enable her to reach a port in possession of the Congressional party and to un load there before she surrendered to the United States.

The Sun's cot ton review says: Futures opened at last night's prices, closing steady at 1 to 3 points advance from yesterday's final figures without apparent cause and in fact with some influence opera ting to depress values, there was to-day a stronger market. Reports of the weather at the South were about as good as they could be, warm with light local showers, yet the next crop at tracted more attention and showed greater strength. There is a growing sentiment in favor of bulls. It is stated on excellent authority that much more cotton and leesjshoddy is being used in the production of goods men's wear. It Is also not Improbable that receipts at ports will be less liberal. It is cer tain that stocks are undergoing rapid reduction, spot cotton was dull. The Presbyterian General Assembly.

From ad vices received here from Chili and from information cerived from an Ital ian actor who has arrived here from there, it appears that the news publish ed in the United States and Europe about the revolution causes laughter. as the many so-called insurgent vic tories are myths, as will be proven in a few days when! President Balmaceda's final triumph will be made known. The actor believes that difficulties will soon arise j between I Chili and Peru. The latter country, he says, is fostering the revolution, and large amounts of Eng lish gold come from there for the revo lutionists. Don't read I Don't think ! Don't believe' Now, are 70a better ?
