FAIRVIEW FARM. PROGRESS IN FDTE STOCK BREEDING IN THIS STATE. The Damage to the Penitentiary farms on the Roanoke A New Departure in Pavement ; Blockaders Broken Up A. Denial by Alliance Olil cers The Episcopal Convention. MESSENGER BUREAU, ) Raleigh, May 16. ) This morning Mr. W. J. Hicks, super intendent of convicts, left for the peni tentiary farms on the Roanoke river. Like the other officials, he is much dis couraged by the damage done by the re cent freshet in that stream. This was not a great freshet, but it proves that the river is very treacherous and that farm ing along its banks is a most uncertain thing. The levee or dyke broke in two places. One break is of 500 feet, the other about 1,300. The estimate of the damage done is $15,000, and Mr. Hicks tells me he thinks this not " excessive. River men said that tlie dyke would stand any freshet. At the place where 500 feet was destroyed the old dyke had been enlarged 'and strengthened and there were no fears of its going, but the water probably undermined it. After all, farming along such streams is conducted under disadvantages. The dykes de stroyed represented about six months labor by many convicts. The crop de stroyed was corn. . While Mr. Hicks is at tne farms he will arrange for the transfer of sixty convicts from them to Chatham county, to work on the Raleigh and Western railway ex tension. - The county is laying a pavement of vitrified brick in f ront of the court house. These bffck are pressed in patterns. They are laid on a new plan. Upon a surface of sani thin planks are placed and made true and on these another layer of. sand is laid. On this are the bricks. A per fect level is thus obtained. It js said the planks last for years, and that their de cay does not make the sidewalk irregu lar. . ' i The revenue collector had advices; to;, day of the seizure, near Beaman's Cross Roads, of an illicit distillery owned and operated by William Honeycutt and Alex. Strickland. Deputy Collector Grimsley made the seizure. Three convicts were received at the penitentiary to-day from Washington -county and one convict from Lenoir. . June com ids made their escape night before last from the workhouse of Dur ham, by crawling through a small hole in a lireplace. A guard was awake and only a few feet away. Mext week the dentists will be here in force, as their State association meets. Considerable rain fell yesterday after noon and last night. The weather to day became bright and warm. The changg will be benencial to all crops. iairview farm near here, which is vis ited by so many people is becoming a no ted training school for trottiug horses. It is a source ot delight to every horse lover to gee the fine arrivals there. To-day two fjne horses arrived from Mr. W. L. Kennedy's farm, pedar Dell, at Failing Creek, Lenoir county. Mr, Scott, the trainer, will get these iii shape. One arrival is a 2-year-old, Samantace, a son of Norval, record 2:13i, he by- Electionr eer, sire Sunol. Samantace is a fine bred colt, out of a daughter of Onward; second dam by Almont, a son of Rys- j dyk's Hambletonian; third dam by Black hawk. The other arrival is Silk Garter, a 3-year-old filly, by Baron Wilkes, sire of Brava 2:liJ. and of 180 in , the 2:30 list. There is no doubt that in a year or two North Carolina brl horses will be heard of on tracks all over tjjo' country. Jfext to Kentucky, North Carolina 13, of all Southern States, taking deeper inter-1 est in this matter. It is worth while to spend half a day at Fairview. The farm is not at all a local affair; i benefits the whole State. t The liquor dealers are pushing their j organization. They declare there is no ! politics in tlie matter. j The movement for a monument over ; the grave of the great Alliance leader, L. L. polk, in Oakwood cemetery, has not as yet resulted in the erection of a shaft, as was proposed. In to-day's Progressive Farmer ap pears a statement, dated May 11th, -signed by S. B. Alexander, J. f. John ston, J. M. Mewbome, Marion Butler, Cvrus Thompson, V. S. Barnes, W. H. Worth and W A. Graham, saying that as officers of tlie State Alliance they deny and denounce as false the statement made by Mr. J. A. Stevens that $4,304 or anyther sum of the Alliance fund was appropriated or allowed to be used in the interest ot the lhird party. J.ne state ment goes on to" say that last May, by ordep of the executive committee, all the Alliance lecturers were withdrawn from the field, this being, the statement fur ther tlecla res, several weeks prior to the start to organize a new party, and that not a cent sras paid for lecturing after that time -anil that no money was used save for legitimate I'Urposes of the Alli ance. The Protestant Episcopal convention of this diocese will hold its seventy seventh annual convention this week at Christ church, beginning to-morrow morning. The convention sermon will be preached by Rev. Frederick Towers, rector of the Chapel of the Cross at Chapel Hill, and Bishop Lyman will ad minister the communion. The Bishop will in the afternoon deliver his annual address and Mrs. Emery will speak on behalf of the wonjan's -auxiliary to the board of missions. , There will be organized tonjorrow evening a branch of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. Tkjs will be done at a meeting at which Messrs. S. S. Nash, Silas McBee, C. M. Busbee ad Rev. Mr. DuBose are speakers. , Crevasses In th Mississippi Lievees. New Orleans, May 16.

May 10. j.'he stock mar ket was extremely erratic in its - course early in the day, and as a rule, lower prices were touched, but the declines were less important than of late. Fresh business troubles on this 6ide and the failure of the City of Melbourne bank in Australia were used to depress the list, but the bears failed to dislodge any con siderable amount of. long stock, and prompt rallies occurred after each attack The fact that no troubles developed on the Stock Exchange here inspired the bulls with courage and they gave the market much better support. The ship ment of gold by to-morrow's steamer will be $1,500,000, which is a smaller sum than was expected. Money continues extremely easy on call and this has a de- ciaea enect, as tne brokers are more wilt mg to take marginal accounts. During the afternocii there was good buying ngni enrougn tne list, and prices made a steady advance. Distiller rose 1, Sugar 4, St. Paul 2, Rock Island 21 Louisville and Nashville 2, Manhattan 3J, General Electric 3, Western Union 2J, and other stocks from 1 to 2 per cent. There was a brisk borrowing demand, although the rates were not quite up to yesterday's highest. Sales aggregated 282,000 shares, of which 23,000 were unlisted. The mar ket closed firm with prices within a frac tion of the highest attained, j Chicago, May 16. The feeling in wheat to-day was a little tame at the start influenced by the lower English cables and the Australain failures. The opening was about the same as yesterj day's closing, but the market soon greW stronger, on free buying by shortsj Prices were advanced with a slight fluc-i tuation lc, ruled steady and the closing was about the top. i Corn at the start was steady, but there appears to be ah inclination on the part of some of the shipping concerns to break prices, offerings increasing as the day advanced the price going off ic. Offer-j ings were quite readily taken and the price soon rallied, recovering the earlv decline and closed with a slight gain for the day. j Oats began with an easier f eelinsr.

The volume of trading was consequently light. Lard and short ribs sides advanced in sympathy. There was a moderate! reaction near the close. i Sun's Cotton Ileview. New York, May 16. The Sun's cotton review says: The decline in Liverpool caused some depression in early trading, but this was succeeded by an advance. Owing to another break in Mississippi river, very heavy rains in the Southwest, a rather better outlook m Wall street and the covering of shorts, prices roso 5 to 7 points, part of which was afterward lost, closing quiet with sales of 98.000 bales. Liverpool declined 1 to 2 points, but recovered most of this on near months and all the loss on the next crop which closed i to 1 point higher than yesterday and very steady with snot sales of 7,000 bales-. Manchester was depressed." New Orleans declined slightlv but later advanced 7 to 8 points.

North Carolina Postmasters Glenn and Elias Both Confident New Arrivals Assayer at Charlotte Appointed The Chinese Exclusion Law a Dead : Jjetter "Offensive Part isans" to ro. Special to the Messenger. Messenger Bureau, ) Washington, May lfi. J It is reported that Hon. A. M. Waddell is here, but I have not been able to find him. , Mr. Oldham, nephew of Capt. W4? P. Oldham, candidate for postmaster at Wilmington, is here, presumably in his uncle's interest. . ' The latest arrivals are Ws W. McDiar mid, of Robe8onian, in transit to the National Press convention; Col. Benne han Cameron, of Stagville; Mr. Stamps, of Caswell, and B. W. Taylor, of Coluni- bia, S. C. This is a season of wild rumors and malicious insinuations. Our people at home should be no more deceived than our people here are over roarbacks started by interested persons. Kope Elias came to-day. Both he and Capt. Glenn profess great confidence. Mr. Elias says that, in his judgment, the District Attorney's appointment will not be made until after Mecklenburg court in June. Tlie following postmasters for North Carolina were appointed to-day : At El rod, Robeson county, N. M. Patterson; at Science Hill, Randolph, Mary J. Mc Paniels; at Southport, Brunswick, W. R. Furgerson, Frank Davis (colored) rer moved; at Walnut Cove, Stokes, John W. Davis, W. K. Shelton, removed. The party here from the Eastern dis trict have freely consulted with Senator Ransom and other friends. While they expect to accomplish the desired results' they may do so by a different plan from that they had in mind when they ar rived. As this was Cabinet day they did not see the President but may do so to morrow. There is no change in the situation as to the class of Consulates for which the Charlotte men have applied. There are five of these names heretofore given. A prominent editor of an East Carolina weekly, whose ancestors come from Scotland, wants one'of the small Scotch Consulships. His name is withheld, as his papers are not yet in shape. Dr. Wood, superintendent of the Raleigh insane asylum, Capt. J. B. Bur well, of Wake, chairman, and Dr. G. A. Foote of Warrenton, and Maj. B. - F. Boy kin of Clinton, members of the board of directors, are here to inspect St. Eliza beths asylum. Some of the party have just inspected an asylum near Philadel phia. Before they return they will in spect one at Baltimore and one at Staun ton. They expect to be gone a week and to form from their plans the hospital and other improvements at the North Carolina insane asylum. - By Southern Press. Washington, May 16. The President to-day made the following appointments: Wm. H. Pugh, of Ohio, to be commis sioner of. customs, vice, S. V. Holiiday of Pennsylvania, resigned; Robert M. Causar, of Tennessee, to be deputy first auditor of the treasury, vice Alex. F. ' McMillan, of the District of Columbia, resigned. Secretary Carlisle to-day appointed Samuel Roads, Jr., of Massachusetts, to be chief of the stationery division of the Treasury Department, vice A. L. Sturte- vant, resigned by request. The President to-Uay appointed b. VV , Cramer to be assayer of the mint at Charlotte, N. O. Comptroller i;keis to-day apposed Jno. K. McDonald, of Montgomery, Ala., national bank examiner for Alabama, vice C. J. Campbell, removed. Numerous telegrams have been re ceived at the Treasury Department asking that the Chinese Exclusion law be suspended, for at least six months, as its execution at this time imposes groat hardships on Chinamen in the United States. The message of Secretary Gresham to Minister Snowden at Madrid Sunday night, informing him of the conclusions reached oy tne administration upon wie matter of the reception and entertain ment of the Infanta, Eulalje, which was at once conveyed to the Spanish Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, was apparently satisfactory to the Government of Spain, inasmuch as the Captain tienerai oi Cuba received instructions yesterday to have the programe governing the Infan ta s movements, as originally prepareu, carried out in the departure of her Highness and suite from Havana for New York. The Infanta is expect to arrive in New York Friday and will come direct to Washington. CAPT. HIGGINSON ASKS FOR AN INVESTI GATION. Capt. Higginson, of the United States Bteamship Atlanta, anticipating that Secretary Herbert would not be satisfied with his actions ana aeiay in getting me Atlanta started for Nicaragua when or dered, has written the Navy Department requesting a court of inquiry into the matter. Secretary Herbertl has decided to errant the request and a court will be ordered as soon as Capt. Higginson re turns to the United States. The court, it is understood, will also be instructed to inquire into the navy yard methods generally. THE CHINESE NOT TO GO. At the Cabinet meeting to-day, with a full attendance, the Chinese question as complicated by yesterday's decision pf the Supreme court, was discussed from everv rxrint of view, and it is understood the conclusion reacnea was mat tne iaw l X 1 A J 1 1 could not be enforced for the reason that there was no money available for that purpose. The act only carries an appro priation of $100,000. Secretary Carlisle showed that no more than $35,000 of that sum i;emained: wit n some diiis, still un audited, to" be acted "UpQH- Jt wasesU: mated that it would cost to deport all the Chinamen now in the country who have not complied . with the law more than 0.000.000. This statement exhibited what one "member Of the Cabinet called the utter inability of the Government to - give any effect to the law without further action bv Congress. .Under the circum stances it was understood that nothing could be done, and it is said there is lit tle, if anv. probability of the Federal Government making any immediate effort to put the law into effect. One member of the Cabinet, who holds a high place and ta looked upon as a man ot force and strength of character, made the broad assertion after the session was over that the law was nothing short pf a po litical scheme enacted tor political effect me Raid ' in fact-, something about denia goguery) and intimidated that there had been general hopes among his associates that the noiirt wnnlrl I lia-tr. - : - - .... . wtm lb 1A7 be unconstitutional. It is assumed that in tne ordinary course of diplomatic usage a copv of the decision nf t.l-iA Si - w vine court, as soon as a majority of the nieni- uers oi tne court nave determined upon its exact phraseology, will be transmitted to the Chinese Minister to be by him forwarding to his Government. This will necessariiv invnlvo rrmcido-oKio - itii VAC- lay and Congress will probably be again in session before a return can be made to this commission. TO ESCORT THE SPANISH INFANTA. Commander Davis, of the" navy, who will act as representative of the Presi dent in escorting the Spanish Infanta during Tier visit to the United States, re ceived his final instructions at the State Department this morning, and this after noon left WTashington for New York. He will meet the Infanta at quarantine Friday and it is expected that the' Royal party will come immediately to Wash ington by epacial train ovef the Pennsyl vania road to perf orm the Official part of the visit, 1 I MARSHAL BUCK MUST GO. .

The doors of the Bank of the Carolinas. with tha home, office at Florence, in this State, closed to-day with a notice of temporary suspension until a meetmg the directors. The capital stock of this bank is nearly 00,000. It has branches at Kingstree, Conway, Williston and Varnville in this State, and at several towns in North Carolina. It is believed the bank has assets to cover all indebtedness. The stringency of the money market and the consequent inability to realize on the se curities held by the bank is the cause of failure. The bank was started by J. P. Coffin over two years ago and has done a good business and successfully withstood considerable pressure' at different times. Little, if any, doubt is entertained of the bank's paying dollar for dollar, and Mr. Coffin has executed a deed of trust for all his town lots and personal property in Florence to secure any possible deliciency, London, May 16.
