Raleigh, N. c, Sept. 6. $
The weekly weather crop report says
that although slightly better weather
has prevailed, no improvement in the
crops has taken place. The early psrt
of the week waB decidedly too cool, the
temperature reaching the normal only
during the last few days. The exces
sive rains have ceased, but light sho n-er,-,
which were quite unnecessary,
have fallen. Tne rainfall was heaviest
in the Eastern district and least in the
Western, otherwise the same conditions
haye prevailed generally over the
State. Cotton continues to.shed and is
affected by rust. It is ooeniner verv
slowly. . Corn was not much damaged"
but the saving of fodder and hay is not
progressing very well. Tobacco cur
ing is progressing rapidly, the yield
not promising to be quite as good as
expected. The prospects are now for a
few days of saving weather and lower
temperature. The present condition
of the staple crops is as follows: East
ern district, cotton 69, corn 83, lobacco
82; Central district, cotton 73, corn 88,
tobacco 79; estern district, cotton 78,
corn 91, tobacco 84; for tha State, cot
ton 73, corn 87, tobacco 82 (130 reports
received, covering sixty counties.
The electric cars for the East Har
gett street line was tested last night
and work admirably. The workmen
are leveling the tracks in various, parts
of the city, doing the work after mid
night. Collector White received news to
day of the capture near Had ley's Mills,
Chatham county, but the man, Buu r
Thomas, who owned and operated the
outfit, escaped. He got away, with part
.of the still. .
Great quantities of brick have, been 1
made at toe penitentiary this year and
find a ready sale. - A number of the
convicts are employed at this work
nearly all tfie time. The clay is taken
from a swamp.a mile south of the city.
A very queer letter wss received at
the Executive Office tonday A claim
ant of the direct tax, it appears, was so
sure of getting his money speedily that
he pawned his watch, expecting to take
it "out of hock" with the funds. But
his claim is not passed up, and in a
great rago he sys he proposes to hold
the Governor responsible. If he could
see the Governor devoting hours each
day to these claims, and knew that
three expert lawyers are in the Execu
tive Office every day looking into the
legal questions involved, he would not
be 60 impetuous; Just as much haste
is made as is consistent with safety.
The sheriff of Moore yesterday even
ing brought.. five convicts to the pen i
teutiary two under life sentence.

It wculd be very interesting to know
what proportion of the Alliancemen
favor the Third party. Some members
of the order allege that the new move
ment will surely cause a split in it. The
endorsemi n" of the Third party by cer-
taiu Republicans has had a good effect
in showing the non-extreme Alliauce
men what they may expect. Mr. Marion
Butler, the new president of the Alli-
auce, nab be. u put down by some peo
ple as an extremist. He does not ap
pear to be that way at all, judging from
the tone of his paper, the Clinton Cau
casian, .which is very quiet, dignified
and conservative. Secretary Barnes,
of the State Alliatce, goes to'the other
extreme, and. bis paper, the Rural
Home, is really red hot. It is the most
extreme paper in North Carolina.
The fourth aunual report of the bu
reau of labor statistics was received to
day. It bears date January 1, 1891,
and isvcluminous,ccntaiciog319 pages.
Mr. Scarborough, the head of the bu
reau, says he endeavored to obtain ac
curate statistics regarding the negr
exodus, but could not do "so. The es- -
mates, he says, vary from b,000 to 18,
000, including women and children.
Yur correspondent knows very well
thit the largest of theses estimates falls
much under the real figures The
commissioner says no general inconven
ience has resulted from this movement.
The good crops last year had a cheering
effect and will, he thinks, largely arrest
the tendency of farm laborers to leave
orth Carolina for new and untried lo
calities and people.

Uvalde, Texas, Sept. 5. The train
robbers who were thought to have es
caped across the Rio Grande river with
the sum, said to be $20,000, which they
secured from the express car on the
Southern Pacific railroad, were met
yesterday . by a body of rangers who had
been in pursuit and a battle took place.
The leports received Bay thirteen of
the robbers and" two rangers were
killed and several on both bides wound
ed. The rangers followed what was
thought to be the course pursued bv
the robbers through the mountain
passes and, although they had at s v.
eral times lost the trail, they pulled up
on the robbers. Thursday they dis
covered unmistakable evidence" that
the men were but a few miles aiead of
them. The pursuers followed the
bandits tagevlv and made better time.
for afior pushiDtr ou a uortiuu of tac
night they were rewarded vesterdav by
falling in with the outlaws. The en-
gagement was short as the bandits
were outnumbered. They had tne best
position, however, and stood their
ground until their dead and wounded
became so great that resistance was
impossible and then the remainder
fled. It is said two men escaped.
COMMERCIAL NEWS-
The Oraln and Provision Markets of
Chicago Stocks In New York
Ifesterdav.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5. Business in the
wheat pit to-day was light and the
market dull and featureless. There
was little news of any kind, and none
that was influential. In the absence of
business the feelinsr was weak. Decem
ber wheat opened at81.00i(a$1.00i, hed

tion to tl.OOi. remained dull andsteadv
till within ten minutes of close when it
advanced to fl.OOf , closing ic lower.
Corn was easy early, owing to the
fact that the weather map failed to
show any serious frost anywhere in the
corn belt. This encouraged the short
sellers and there was less demand to
cover. The opening- price of October
"was 59i69fc, but it at once began to
break and soon sold at 59ic Then on
the report that a cold wa e had ap
peared in the Northwest and was
moving toward the corn belt there was
a little scare, which was helped alone-
by vigorous bidding bv the clique, and
October jumped to 60ic, but the ex
citement soon subsided and the price
fell back to 59ic. During the last ho . r
corn developed a erood deal of weak-
ess on suspicion that the clique was
quietly selling all the market would
take, and October, after touching 60ic,
broke to 59c, rallied to 59c, and closed
at59tc.
Oats were steady with fluctuations
confined to a range cf ic and closed at
yesterday's last price to ic lower.
Provisions had quite a boom. The
feeling among outsiders is bullish and
there were tjood speculative buvinff
and covering of shoits. Packers, how
ever, are fighting the advance. They
claim to have no faith in the supposed
benefit to be derived from the action of
Germany, bus it is generally supposed
they are more concerned about proba

be pretty certain to follow the marked

Monday being Labor dav and holi
day, the Board of Trade will be closed.
New York, Sept. 5. The stock mar
ket to-day fehowed on the whole a mod
erate volume of business, and, while
displaying a strong tone during most
of the time, failed to score material ad
vances in those stocks which have, of
laU, been most prominent in dealings.
Other stocks, however, were taken up
by the interests identified with them
and advanced materially. In the.-e
gains Vanderbilts and especially the low
priced ones, were the features. Ihe
temper of the room was decidedly bull
ish still, and, aided by the liberal pur
chases for both foreign and domestic
account, the demonstration in the early
dealings was fruitless, except that
strong stocks of yesterday wera retired
fractionally.
Ihe bank statement was seized upon
to cause a reaction, but the bullish
temper was so pronounced at the time
that the effect was only momentary
and the upward movement ecarceiy
checked. The openine fisures were
generally slight fractions above last
night's prices, while Reading was up
1 per cent. IThe attack on early tradiDg
caused fractional confessions, but re
covery came toon and the advance
from that time was not interrupted.
All active stocks were traded in within
narrow limits, acd "Vanderbilts and a
few others led the improvement.
The market closed active and strong.
with most of the list at the highest
prices of the day. The final changes

Conferences between Chancellor von
Caprivi and Count Kalnoky, Austrian
Prime Minister, at Macairs Schloss
near Schwartzenan, have ended in their
advising the English Goyernment not
to be in a hurry 10 taKe any diplomatic
action in connection with the Dardan
elles incident.
The tone of the official Dress here indi
cates distinctly that the Government is
adverse to joining England in any hasty
remonstrance against the Porte's agree
ment with Russia. The JSorta (xemian
Gazette holds that the Porte's assent to
the claims of Russia is less important
as a breach of treaties than serious as
disclosing a new line of policy adopted
by Turkey towf rdi Ku.-sia.
The Viennese press, semi-official, an
ticipates sharp antagonism between
British and Russian influence at Con
stantinople and recommend that Eng
land become more amenable so far as
Egypt is concerned. In the opinion of
the press the new position of affairs
does not involve any danger to the
peace of Europe. Other great powers,
t holds, have no ground for lakiug any
active share in England's impending
diplomatic measures.
The waiting attitude, which the Im
perial Chancellors have recommended
to Lord Salisbury, is explained bv offi
cial advices received tonight from Con
stantinople to the effect that the life of
the new Turkisu Cabinet wiil be brief.
The highest Turkish circles are indigT
nant over the composition of the new
Ministry, and especially at the dismis
sal of Ghazi Uzman, Minister of War
and Marshal of Police. Strong protests
have been sent to the Sultan, whoso
own position is menaced by the -neat
contents. .
The reference of the Vinn ZsePresse
to the belief that everything will re
turn to the proper track, poiuts to the
expectation of an early collapse if the
pro-Kuisian Ministry. A successful
conspiracy for the deposition of the
Sul'an is among the contingencies that
are discussed covertly in diplomatic
circles. ,
Premier KalDOkv and Chancellor von
Caprivi are too deeply engrossed in
their conferences and will to; witness
tha coming army manoeuvres.
A large staff of te esraph operators
has been sent from Vienna to Sen warte-
nan and a i. umber of members of the
Austrian Foreign office are kept busy
with long dispatches, whica are going
to various European capitals. Com
munications passed t-4ay between

London, Sept. 5. Commenting ou I
tha statement cabled to this city irora
Shanghai, and purponifcg to give the
views of the educated classes of Chinese
in regard to foreign missionaries ana
demanding the withdrawal of foreign
missions from Chinese territory, which,
it is claimed, have utterly failed in
the objects they were intended to ac-
complish and oaly tend to foment re
volt, the limes to-day says: "The les
son to be drawn is that liberal treat
ment of China is useless. Europe
should inflexibly and sternly insist upon
the observance of treaty rights and
thus avoid fussy -naval displays. We
are glad to believe that this is the view
now held by our Foreign Office."

Palestine, the writer eays, is at present

In conclusion, the clergyman says
that the country across tne river Jor

and, at the same time, deal out justice
to the colored men, and assure them
that the Republican party is their best
friend.
"Many of our white friends, so called,
met at Asheville recently to build up,
as they said, a Protectionist party in
the State. All over the State they are
getting themselves together in little
knots here and there, especially at
night, plotting how to undermine and
neutralize the negro's power in the
party. This would not be so if there
were no offices to be disposed of.
"The Asheville convention had a
double meaning. First, it was to for
mulate a secret opposition to the ne
gro, and second, to effect an organiza
tion in the State to boom Blaine and
elect delegates to the next National
cpnvention opposed to the nomination
of President Harmon. ,
"The time has come when the 120,000
negro Republicans of North Carolina
mustassert their rights and make their
power felt. We do not desire to lead
but only wish to be fairly dealt with by
those whom we fcaveplaced in power.
We ask nothing more and will be sat
iified with nothing less.
ALLIANCE MATTERS.
President Marlon Butler of the State
llliaucc Iulerylewcd on the Third
Party Question.
Raleigh, N C, Sept. 5. Special
To-day Pretidett Marion Butler, of the
State Farmers' AlliaDie paid his first
visit here since his election. He was
interviewed by your correspondent and
said: .
"I don't ree in North Carolina any
prospeot-fof the succets of the .Third
party. My view is that we can accom
plish what we desire without it. The
farmers want certain relief. The easi
est way to get it is the best way. At
t the same time the farmers do not com.
promise in ary way their demand for
reliefs There are enough reasonable
men in the State to know that it will
not do to fighi the farmers, if the latter
act in a sensible and conservative way.
I believe tbey il so act; bat they will
.Ct be trifled with any. As their Pres
idfen', I shall stand by them in their
demand for relief. Of course the Third
party is already organized, but it is no1
needed ia North Carolina. Here the
farmers can get what they need. All
we have to do is to conduct ourselves
properly and success is assured."

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
THE RECOGNITION OF THE CHILIAN
GOVERNMENT.
Facts as to Its Recognition hy Our
Government Not to Be Obtained
Chilian Refusees Taken to
Peru by Admiral Brown
The Chilian minister
Leaves Wash
ington. Washington, Sept. 5. Whether or
not the Congressional Junta has been
recognized as the de facto Government
of Chili cannot be officially learned at
the Department of State, as the Acting
Secretary refuses to make any state
ment whatever on the subject.. Never
theless, there is good reason to believe
that, acting upon Minister Egan's in
formation that the authority of the
Junta is supreme in Chili, he has, as
already predicted, been directed to open
new relations with them.
If there has been any question as to
the proper treatment of the refugees
aboard Admiral Brown's flag 6hip, the
Baltimore, it has been decided oy the
Admiral himself, as appears from the
following cablegram received by Sec
retary Tracy from' bim this afternoon :
Valparaiso, ikpt. 5, 1S91 The Balti
more left yesterday for Mollend, Peru,
taking away twenty refugees whose
lives are not safe in Chili. There was
no other way to reach neutral territory.
The Baltimore is to return without de
lay. The excitement is subsiding
rapidly- (Signed) Bkown.

night all was dark within and a ser
vant, who answered the ring at the

could'tell nothing of the ultimate dea
tination of Senor Lazcano, but it is be
lieved that he is on his way to Europe.
Word was It ft at the Minister's late
residence referring inquirers to Senor
Jorje Asto Burnago, who recently
