Pensions to be Paid-The Comiojc Fair Determined on Suicide No State Exhibit at Max ton ; Fair Post office Changes To y Use North Caro- ! lina Iron. MESSENGER BUREAU, 1 Raleigh. Oct. 16. J T. C. Milliken, the Republican nomi nee for CJoDgrees in this District, spoke here this evening. His supporters em phatically deny the statement that he is "coming down" from the ticket, in favor of Stroud, the Populist. Milliken is very quiet. v A Democrat . from ; a county- near here says that while there are three tickets in his county, yet he believes there is a secret understanding by which either the Populists or Republicans will be taken off. There is : no telling ; what are the plans. There may be any kind of scheme up to the very day of election. -. Berry Sanders, a white man, was mortally hurt yesterday at a gin three miles from here. A bale of cotton was being hoisted; a rafter broke, he was struck on the head, whicli was fractured in three places. He was, 35 years old and leaves a wife and child. There was a heavy frost this morning in all this section.. . . The life insurance agents of this State and South Carolina met here to-day and organized an association. There has been an association! of general agents and solicitors. J Among the agents present were John B. Gary - f Richmond, J. D. Church of Charlotte, and W. J. Roddy of Rock Hill: i J James E. O'Hara, who in' past years was a power among the colored Repub licans, is here. He says that the Populists and Republicans are day by day getting further apart And that the cause of this is" the "too much dictation" of the Populists. ! Farmers who live on Neuse river say it was higher last week than in ten years, and that below here it has done vast damage. Much cotton is even yet under water and is ruined. 1 , The executive committee of the board of agriculture met here to-day to con sider the matter of making an exhibit at the Border Fair of the Carolinas. Ihe board has consented to make a sriecial exhibit from the museum collection, provided it did not conflict with the State fair. It was,, to-day found that if the Maxton . exhibit was made the museum E would have to be closed next Wednesday, right in the midst of the State fair, so that the packing might be done. It was therefore decided not to be advisable or practicable to make an exhibit at Maxton. Two convicts have arrived at the pen itentiary from Sampson and one f rom Watauga. At the penitentiary the convicfs are nearlv all now at work making brick. The winter clothing has been distributed. COMMERCIAL NEWS. 1- fcwill "EE WORK OF CONGRESS. PAniial Suinmarv Issued.

New York, Oct. 16. The receipt of lower quotations from London and the uncertainty in regard to the extent of the-outfiow of gold led to an irregular market for stocks at the opening, when General Electric declined 1 per cent to 35 and other stocks yielded I to i from the final prices of yesterday. The sell ing lacked force, however, and subse quently a ;better tone prevailed. The fact that there were no additional gold engagements and that the Sterling ex change market showed a tendency toward easier rates induced more or less covering by the room traders. The main factor, however, was the great strength shown by American Sugar Refining stock, which advanced from 84 to S6 on purchases of upwards of 80,000 shares. This was accepted by the street as mean ing that ; certain . influential operators, recently on the . bear side,- , have changed front and "intend to giye . the market Detter support. Aiannattan movea up from 1061 to 1081, but the changes urthe other leading shares were far less important, the Grangers, Chicago Gas, Westarn Union, Missouri Pacific, Norths era Pacific, preferred, and General Elec tric fluctuating with, a range of i to 1 per cent. As a rule prices closed frac tionally higher than on yesterday. St. Paul, General Electric and Louisville and Nashville were exceptions, showing net losses of ito i per cent. Trading in a majority of instances fell to un usually small proportions and was al most entirely local. Among the special ties Delaware and Hudson dropped 1 per cent, to 130J; Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis 1 to 17i, and -Jersey Central 2f to 107 i. American Tobacco fell from 97i to 95$, ex-dividend, but later rallied to 97f. Speculation left off firm in tone. Total sales were 173,000 shares. The bond market was lower. The sales to-day of listed stocks ag gregated 86,100 shares, and of unlisted 87,000. Chicago. Oct. 16. If talk was all that Was necessary to bull wheat, there was every reason for that market to advance to.day, but beyefind a moderate recovery from a.weak start and lower prices than even yesterday's close, and that rally on covering by shorts, there was. no evi dence of any radical change in the situa tion. The low price and daily receipt of reports as to the feeding of wheat to hogs would, it was claimed, eventually tell on stocks and naturally produce a change of sentiment. In the face however, of lower cables, big receipts and large ship ments from Russia and India there was no inclination to invest. Ihe activity in the grade was irregular and the tone variable. The opening was weak, then came a' slight rally, followed by an easier feeling, whilst the close was com paratively firm, December wheat opened from 52 tD 52 to 51c, sold be- tween 01 to osic, ci03ing ai oc$ 10 osc, . . . 1 rf-S l a shade better man yesieraay. iasn wheat was unchanged for car lots. Although governed in Epme degree by the fluctuations of wheat; still there was more firmness to corn .than could be traced to the finer grain v to-day. There 13 no doubt that a stronger tendency of wheat to advance would have allowed of much higher prices for corn, as the buy ing was of a more general character Ajfo.oii.w i,o Wn v,nTOQOtori I tnan tne selling, may corn openeu at some convicts will probably ba brought sold between 48e and 49 to 49fc, back to the penitentiary from the Koan-1 " w """" JNo ability to rise aoove or oecune De low a point marked by sympathy with wheat was noted in thevoats - market. There was a .moderate business trans acted, the oatmeal trust buying a fair amount. The close was unchanged ixom yesterday for May. Cash oats were weak early, out closed nrm, no essential change in prices taking place i Provisions Selling by the - packers early and later by the people who bought from them wer6 the only features worthy of mention in the market for product to day. No disposition to depress prices was seen; sellers rather inclining to sus tain them as much as possiWej, "A weak and lower hog rharket made itself felt at the ooenine." The close was 123-c lower than yesterday for January pork, 2$ to 5c lower for January lard, and5c lower for January ribs. v . f oke farms Mr. J. D.

Drunlten Policemen Arrestias Inno cent Parties Taking Bribes For "Protection" Registration '--of Released Criminals-Selfins wnislcey to Prisoners , f Bay ins: Privileges or Police Per j ary of Witnesses. New York, Oct. 16. Policeman Cal lahan's "pull" was the subject of the earliest inquiry today by the Lexow committee. James Smith, who! keeps a restaurant in Greenwhich street, told the committee how the officer came into his place intoxicated one day last week, threatened him with a revolver and conducted himself in a disorderly man ner, wmding up by taking the witness to the police .station. Lawyer- Moss- told the committee that in all due season the police commissioners would be called upon to explain why Callahan and other brutal or drunken officers were per mitted to remain on the force undis ciplined. - Jos Frankel, a saloon keeper,' told of paying Policeman Shelvey $5 a week for "protection" and of having . peen ar rested upon a trumped up charge and Jbulldozed into paying f 200 for the assist ance of Silver Dollar Smith to ave him from State prison, Frankel was dis charged without a hearing by the police justice after the money had been paid. Counsel Goff called the committee's attention to the registration of pauoers and criminals released from BLackwell'a island. He said he had written to Superintendent Byrnes and the commis sioners of charities and corrections con cerning this allegal registration. He read the reply, from Byrnes in which the superintendent said he had taken steps to bring to justice those who had regis tered illegally.. Mr. Goff said 800 in mates of the workhouse had il been re leased without judicial proceedings. After Mr. Goff had assured the com mittee as Mr. Moss had already done, that when the time was ripe they would be asked to consider the offences of the higher officials, the police commissioner, John Johnson, an inmate of the Tombs, was placed in the witness boxt He re lated that when first arrested he was lodged in Jefferson Market prison, where Keeper Leach insisted, with curses, that he must engage a lawyer named Gatlio. On two occasions the witness paid Leach $1 for the privilege of walking in the corridor. This was the custom. Leach sold whiskey to the prisoners for about four times its value.' Leach was called to the stand. j "Do you know what perjurv 14?" asked Mr. Goff. f "No, I don't" said Leach nervously. The nature of perjury was explained and he was forced to acknowledge that he had received money from prisoners and that he had recommended .lawyers Gatling and Pentecost to prisoners. Chairman Lexow then succeeded in getting the witnesses to admit that it was the custom of the keepers ito share lawyers' retainer fees. But Leach strenu ously denied that he ever sold whiskey to prisoners. " Patrick McLaughlin was the next witness. He said he was a first cousin of Officer John B.'McLaughlin, and that bis relative was a perjurer and never in the army. This puzzled the- committee and they probed into the conflicting testimony. It was found that there was hard feeling between the cousins. The witness said his cousin came to him and said he had secured a discbarge paper from the army from a friend of his and he was going to ue itto help him on the police force. Policeman McLaaghlin was recalled to the stand. He described the different parts of a gun and the duties of an artilleryman. Chairman Lexow said he believed the officer was telling the truth. The cousin persisted in his assertions. "One of you ought to be in State's prison for perjury," com mented Senator O'Connor. ( Moses V. Hamilton, a business man of Tremont street,brought to-day's proceed ings to a somewhat dramatic close. He identified Capt. Marten, who was pres ent, as tl e offic r he had pa d $15 tc;wo yeas ago. ihis was to secure ;the pnyi lege of letting his store for a regis tiyand pol ing place, ihe city pays $00 for these stations and it? appears to have been the custom of the poli:o to get $15 out of it. Police Capt. Berghold testified that he examined Quinlan's hotel and found evidence of an attempt te colonize voters. 7 There was a demand made for the committee "to go up higher.f - By this 13 meant that some of the members of tbe committee are tired of the investigation of policemen and minor criminals and that the police commissioners and lead ing politicians should be placed on the stand. This demand was expressed by Senator Lexow, who said (that it-was time to go high up. Senator O'Connor echoed bis sentiments in stall stronger language. : He said ' that enough testi mony had been produced against the rank and file of ' the police! that it was how the duty of the committee to find out just how far the higher? officiate of the force had been derelict iri their duty. Chairman Lexow said that the public demanded this. '' ' " Mr. Goff in reply said that he was not quite ready to go up higher,! but that he would soon be ready to call the police commissioners to the stand. The Work of Dynamiter?.

A despatch from Shanghai says it is reported there that Port Arthur, the Chinese - stronshold where the Chinese fleet has been repair-1 ing damages, has been captured by the Japs. - The Central News agency claims to have the highest authority for saying that overtures looking to a declaration of peace between. China and Japan weremade yesterdav;, evening, but that Japan rejected the proposals made,"con sidering them inadequate. According to the Central News, however, there is every reason to believe that the pro posals were eminently: satisfactory to China and that her representatives sig nified the willingness of their Govern ment to acquiesce in them. The Star publishes a despatch from Yo kohama, saying that a large number of Chinese prisoners were arrested there.
