itors could not overcome. Pat Tebeau was
put out of the game in the last half of the
ninth inning for kicking against a strike

Raleigh, May 15. t
. There was frost this morning over,
perhaps, two-thirds of the State. It
was heavier here than that Monday
morning. The cold winds, which have
been steady since Sunday morning, are
doing more damage to the crops, partic
ularly cotton, than the frosts. Many of
the farmers are quite despondent and.
have cause to be so, as, the crop outlook
is bad. "
Chief Marshal Carroll to-day com
pleted the route of march and the pro
gramme for the May 50th ceremonies.
The procession starts at noon and at 12:30
will pass the executive mansion, where
it will salute Governor Carr and his offi
cial guests and they will also salute the
procession. The latter will be in the fol
lowing order: Marshals as police, Chief
Marshal O. J. Carroll, 190 assistant
marshals, the military under command
of B;g. Gen. John Ws Gotten,
veterans, civic organizations, the fire
men; ladies in carriages.
The procession will reach" the Capitol
at 12:45. Governor Carr and his guests
will not be in the procession, but will go
from the Executive mansion directly to
the Capitol. The exercises there will be
held, not from the west portico, but at a
stand between it ' and the monument.
The chief marshal will present the chap
lain, Rev. Dr. Bennett Smedes, Capt.
Ashe, who makes the address of wel
come, and Col. Waddell, who delivers
the oration Capt. C. B. Denson will, as
master of ceremonies, present the other
speakers.
The preparations are now quite com
plete. The contributions of supplies for
the veterans are liberal. The headquar
ters of the veterans;will be in a large to
bacco prize house,' iu which, the Fifth
Maryland regiment was quartered so
pleasantly during its visit to Raleigh.

The Sun's Cotton Review.
New York, May 14. The Sun's cotton
review says: Cotton rose 4 to 6 points,
but lost this and fell 1 to 2 points. May
declined 4 points. ' Liverpool rose l-32d
on the spot, with sales' of 8,000 bales;
futures advanced 1 to 11 points. New
Orleans advanced 5 to 6 points, but lost
this. The weather at the South was
generally clear. In the primary Euro
pean markets the trade outlook is
deemed- generally favorable. Advices
from 41 of the more prominent trade
centre3 report the following outlook:
Commercial, 4 poor, Unfair and 17 good;
manufacturers, 9 poor or interrupted by
strikes, 11 fair, and 10 good. The
signal service predicts for the
next twenty four hours warmer weather
in South Carolina, Nortji Carolina, Geor
gia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisana. The Southern spot markets
were quiet and unchanged. New Orleans
sold 2,000 bale3. . Receipts there to-morrow
were estimated at 600 bales, against
2,209 last Thursday and 1,568- last year.
Ia Manchester yarns and cloth were
quiet Memphis received to-day 127
bales, against 407 last week and 197 last
year. Houston 913, against 407 last week
and 153 last year. Spot cotton here was
dull and unchanged. Sixty-three bales
were sold for spinning and 900" delivered
on ' contract. The port receipts were
3,267 bales, against 4,199 this day last
week and 2,197 last year; thus far this
week 20.315, against 29,995 thus 'far last
week. Silver declined 4 d in. London.
To-day's features: Prices ran up early
in the day, favored by the Neil Bros'
circular, which estimates a considerable
decrease in the acreage, and states that
the crop is backward and trade condi
tions favorable. The market was also
strengthened in a measure by the Gov
ernment weekly report, which stated
that the growth of the-plant had been
retarded in a number of States by un
favorable weather. Still another help
ful factor was liberal buying - by; the
Continent,, which took the distant
months, and the local buying for both
sides of the account was also a
feature. But later .on, too many
traders wanted to sell all at once.
and: there were too few buyers. Many
who had bought on the cold weather
sold when the signal service predicted
warmer weather in a large portion of the
cotton belt during the next twenty-four
hours. Still there are many advocates
here of better prices who think univer
sality of trade recuperation and the
bullish ideas prevalent throughout the
ramifications of commerce and industry,
both in this country and Europe, must
act very favorably upon cotton as one of
the, most important products " of this
country. Just now, however, it is in the
main a board room market, governed
very largely by weather reports.
Savannah's Big Day.
Savannah, Ga., May 15 Governor
Atkinson reviewed one of the largest
bodies of troops to-day that has been
witnessed in Savannah since the celebra
tion of 4;he city's sesqui-centennial in
1883. Twelve hundred men were in line
with five companies of marines and
blue jackets e from, the United States
cruisers, Atlanta and Raleigh, which are
anchored in the river below the city.
The review took place in the military
parade ground and was witnessed by
20,000 people. It was the first appear
ance of the Governor and his staff in
Savannah, and was. made the occasion
for an ovation to the Governor. Following
the parade the review prizes were awarded
to the visiting companies by the May
week festival for the largest and be3t
appearihg company. Tha Gordon
institute cadets of Barnesville, Ga., were
awarded the first prize for the largest
number of men; the Brunswick Rifles, of
Brunswick, Ga , were awarded the sec
ond prize and the Washington Light In
fantry, of Charleston, S. C, the prize for
the finest appearing company
parade. .
The sham battle by the marines and
blue iackets closed the display. The
day s festivities ended, with
display in the park.
To-night Governor Atkinson and bis
staff and the officers of the Atlanta and
Raleigh were tended a brilliant reception
at the De Soto.

Gbavesend, N. Y May 15. The Ninth
Brooklyn Jockey club handicap was run
at Gravesend to-day and was won by
Hornpipe. The result was a complete
surprise, only one of the horses that was
well supported in the ring finishing
among the leaders. Lazzarone got the
second place and j the game little Sir
Walter was third. The last named was
in active demand on the - future books
and was heavily, backed on the track.
Hornpipe and Lazzarone opened with 20
to 1 obtainable against each to-day and
closed at 15 to 1. Ramapo and Dr. Rice
were dual first favorites during the early
quotations, but Ramapo had a slight
call over last year's winner of the prize
at the close. Taral, who rode Dr. Rice,
is the regular Keene jockey. He did not
entertain the slightest fear of Hornpipe.
He had a wholesome respect for Rev El
J3anta Anita and Ramapo.- As Taral left
tne paaaocK t. Lakemand, who trams
for James R. and E. P. KeenS, remarked:
"Hornpipe will beat you anyway."
Taral took the remark as a joke and
laughed.
There was the usual delav at the post.
The twelve candidates got to the post on
time. There were five false breaks be
fore they got the signal to depart. Sir
waiter showed slightly m front of the
others for a few strides after the flag fell
and then gave way to Assignee, who
set a killing pace for the first six fur
longs and then dropped out of the race.
Sir Walter, who had been in a good po
sition all the time, then resumed the
command. Dr. Rice attempted to close
upon him, but soon had enough.
At tne iar turn every one was crvine
Sir Walter." Then the shout "Look
at Ed Kearney" rose. This erratic brute
was moving up to Sir Walter. All at
once Penn appeared to be in trouble.
Ed. Kearney began to swerve and stag
ger about and finally dropped back to
the rear. This was as they were round
ing the far turn. Penn had lost a stir
rup. In trying to keep control of Ed
Kearney he interfered with Dr. Rice
and Ramapo. Neither, however, suf
fered much through the jostling, as both

were beaten when it occurred.
Another bis change occurred when
they were half way around the upper
turn.
Lazzarone, who had been in the rear
ranks, began to thread his way to the
front. . With a phenomenal burst of
speed he collared Sir Walter as they
swung into the stretch. Doggett at
once went to the whip. Sir Walter re
sponded bravely, and again his name
rang in the air.
Lazzarone came again, but was
promptly challerged by Hornpipe, who
had crept up almost unobserved. A des
perate struggle ensued. The task was
too great for Lazzarone. He faltered
under the fierce attack of whip and
spur. This .cost him ihe, race.. ; Horn
pipe, running through to the last gasp,
won by a good neck. Lazzarone beat
Sir Walter ajength and a half for second
place.
Uounter Tenor, the 3-year old who
went begging at 50 to 1, was ridden in
and around his field as if he were a polo
pony ana came rourth. in the hands of
a capable jockey this colt would have
given Hornpipe an argument. Rey El
Sanita Anita, who was kept out of the
race in Bergen fashion until the stretch
was reached, flattered his backers for a
few strides only. Dr. Rice, Ramapo and
Kunicon ran as if totally unfit. They
were oeaten Deiore tney had eone a mile,
Sir Walter would have done better had
Doggett not fallen into the trap set bv
Lakeland with Assignee and thus killed
himself trying to keep up with the light
weigntea pacemaker.
In speaking ! of the race afterwards,
Murphy said that when he began to
move up with Lazzarone he got so much
mud in his face he decided to rush him
to the front at once. Hamilton, who
rode the winner, said that the. other
jockeys did their racing at the start
and he did his at the finish. Hornpipe
pulled up lame, but he cooled out all
right. He could not have gone a mile
on a dry .track. Taral said that Horn
pipe was a better horse than he had any
idea of, but considered Lazzarone the
best horse in the race. He had no ex
cuse to make for Dr. Rice's defeat.
There were fully 15,000 persons pres
ent. The betting was conducted on the
private and alleged credit base. No
odds were placarded, but money changed
hands freely. ! Some bookmakers stood
on high stools and others wore their
names on their hat bands. A few irre
sponsible men tried to do business. Those
were spotted and ejected. A few welch
ers bobbed up ana were arrested as va
grants. .

mo uruuu uovernmentTs uevion as
, to Two of the Men Convicftlrl of
j Treason by Court-Martial in
V i .' j,- Hawaii.
San Francisco, May 15. Correspond
ence of the United Press" per steamer
Australia Honolulu, May 8. At a meet
ing of councils yesterday Minister Hatch
read the following communication from
British Commissioner, Hawes :
"With reference to my dispatch to you
of 23d of February last on the subject of
the nationality of Messrs. Rickard,
Walker and Hewett in which I informed
you that I had decided to submit the
whole question to my Government and
ask their decision, I have the honor now
to inform you that Lord Kimberly has
had tinder his careful consideration the
question of the nationality of the aboye
named men. and has come to the ennrfn.
sion that in the case of Mr. Hewett there
is no ground on which to support a claim
to British nationality, as he appears to
have made the proper application, given
the requisite proof, and obtained a certi
ficate of Hawaiian nationality
jThe case of i the other two men has,
however, been viewed differently. His
Lordship states that they do not appear
to have voluntarily and knowingly be
come naturalized. They are only shown
to have taken the oath of allegiance to
King Kalakua and his succor, and they
assert that they took that oath on the
express assurance that it would not afT
feet their nationality, and there is no
proof that the certificates of naturaliza
tion were issued to them, I am, there
fore instructed to represent to your Gov
ernment that Her Majesty's Government
cannot admit that the Hawaiian nation
ality of Messrs. Rickard and Walker has
been established." "
The affidavit made by Walker is:
"In order to obtain greater facilities
for employment, I did, at the suggestion
of the late King Kalakua, sign a docu
ment which I understood from the King
would insure to me greater privileges as
a resident in Honolulu and as the hus
band of an Hawaiian wife, but which
he told me would in no way affect my
position and rights as a British subject.
I had no knowledge whatever that the
said document was the oath of allegiance.
I simply signed my name in a book
before a clerk in the Department of the
Interior, and not in the presence of a
magistrate or a member of the Govern
ment "
Rickard's affidavit i3 similar to the
above and states in addition:
"I was informed by Maj. Wodehouse,
her Brittanic Majesty's commissioner
and consul general, that no such for
feiture was conveyed by the declaration,
which I made only to qualify myself at
the urgent request of many British rfhd
other residents, to become a member of
the Legislature " '
uopies or the oath taken bv Walker
and of the naturalization certificate of
Rickard have been obtained. The law
authorizing them, which was quoted by
Secretary Gresham, provided that the
person receiving the new citizenship
should place himself under the pains and
penalties of treason by appealing to his
country of original allegiance. From
these documents it appears that Walker
and Rickard did take the oath, notwith
standing their affidavits to the contrary.
The attorney general said positively this
morning that they took the statutory
oath; -This Government does not assent
to the views of Lord Kimberley and ex
pect? to have further correspondence on
Both Walker and Rickard held office
under, the Hawaiian Government, for
which naturalization was necessary.
Should the British Government maintain
its position that it has the right to inter
fere in behalf of these men as British
subjects, such interference would prob
ably open the question whether tbey
were legally convicted by military tribu
nal Their counsel, Neumann, made a
protest that such a criburral was uncon
stitutional and illegal.
Kickard was sentenced to thirty-fave
years imprisonment and $10,000 fine,
Walker to thirty years and $5,000. Rick
ard was One of four chief conspirators
and helped to land the arms. Walker
filled bombs with dynamite. He pleaded
guilty. It is learned that the leading
point in the argument against Lord
Kimberley's conclusions that Walker
and Rickard are still British subjects
will be that their cases are identically
ihe same in all respects with that of A.
M. Hewett, who, his Lordship concedes,
is not a British subject.

Two Oourt-M artials.
Washington, May 15 The results of
the two court-martials on the Asiatic
station reached the Navy Department
and the finding of not guilty in the case
of Lieut. Thomas Stevens was made
public to-dav. Lieut. Stevens, who is
acting executive officer of the York
town, was accused by his superior officer,
Commander Folger, of intoxication on
duty. The court found that JFolger
failed to prove the charge. This is the.
third time Commander Jbolgers charges
against subordinate officers of his vessel
have been overturned.
The verdict in the case of Paymaster
H. R. Smith, of the Concord, although
not announced, is understood to have
been unfavorable in some degree to the
accused, inasmuch as orders have been
issued to Paymaster Kerr at Mare Island
to relieve him, sailing by the next
8teamerfrom San Francisco. At last
accounts Paymaster Smith was confined
to his vessel and not allowed to go J
ashore. The exact charge against the
paymaster is not known, Admiral Car
penter having simply cabled a request
to have a new paymaster sent out to
relief. '

The Women Want to Run Their Own
Board.
Baltimore, May 15 The sixteenth'
annual meeting of the executive board
of the Woman's Foreign Missionary so
ciety of the Methodist Protestant Church
was . begun to-day in the Lafayette
Avenue Methodist Protestant church.
Twenty-two members of the board were
present.
Mrs. M. A. CohQuer, formerly a mis
sionary in Japan, conducted the opening
services.
The Rev. D. E. Colbourn, of Lynch
burg, Va., the general missionary secre
tary, delivered an address in which he
suggested that it would be a good thing'
to consolidate the regular mission board,
composed of men, with the women's
mission board.
The Rev. Mrs. Englina St. John, of
Kansas, in responding to Mr. Colbourn,
smilingly said that the women prefer to
run their mission work entirely inde
pendent of the men. They prefer this
because tne women neea tms scnooiing
in independent thought, action and in
work- oo, too, they prefer to edit ana
obnduct their own paper, that it may
reflect in its columns womans' own
thought. .
This evening Mrs. J. T. Murray of Bal
timore, conducted the religious service,
and Mrs. F. A. Brown, the president of
the board, delivered an address.
- Executions for Large Sums.
Lancaster, Pa., May 15. Executions
for $62,855 were issued here to-day
against Amos B. Hostetter, leaf tobacco
dealer, formerly of Lancaster, but now a
resident of Philadelphia, by C. A. Fond
ers truth, trustee for creditors, most of
whom are tobacco -dealers of this city.
Executions by the same parties for $31,
427 were also issued in Philadelphia, and
a large amount of tobacco, valued at
$70,000, has been attached in both cities.
The liabilities will probably reach $200,
000 and it is not likely that the unse
cured creditors will receive anything.
The failure is attributed to shrinkage in
values and bad accounts.
jnosGor tne xrip from Key west to
Newport to be Made Without Go
ing on the Open! Sea Interest
ing Report on Decline of
Our Trade in the East
by Consul General
uernigan.
Washington, May 15. The torpedo
boat, Cuahing, left the Washington navy
yard this morning fo Key West, Fla.,
unaer oraers to make the voyage as
much as possible without going into the
Atlantic ocean, and alt such speed as will
return it to -Newport, R. I., about
June 15th. The object of this trip is to
demonstrate the advantages of the in
land route along the TJnited States coast
line from the Gulf of Mexico to Newport
in times of war, Newport being the
torpedo station where it is proposed by
naval strategists to maintain a large
torpedo fleet, which in times of necessity
could be sent expeditiously to any point
east of the Rocky mountains without ex
posure to attack from sea-going vessels.
The portion of the route from Norfolk to
Newport by Chesapeake bay, Delaware
river, Raritan canal and Long Island is
familiar to Lieut. Fletcher, command
ing the Cushing, who has made a report
upon it for the guidance of the officers.
For several months he has been studying
the coast charts south of Norfolk to find
out what channels afforded the needed
depth of 5 feet at ordinary tide.
The Cushing will go by way of the
Potomac to Norfolk, thence by canal
to the chain of North Carolina canals,
Currituck, Pamlico.Cove and Bogue,past
Beaufort.' For a few miles from Cape
Far to Winyaw bay she will probably
be compelled to run out to seabut the
rest Zot the way is inland . through the
channels of the sea islands all the way
past Jacksonville and along the Florida
coast until she will be forced outside
from Jupiter to Biscayne' bay, whence
Key WeBt can easily be reached through
passages among the keys. Naval offi-1
cers except to prove that with less than
fifty miles of sand cutting the interior
route is practical from the gulf to Cape
Cod. '
The Department of State has received
an interesting report from United States
Consul General Thomas R. Jerningan,
of North Carolina, stationed at Shanghai;
China, on our trade relations with that
empire. Noting a falling off in the im
portations of domestic cottons from tbe
United States as well as Great Britain.
Mr. Jernigan advances the opinion that
the manufacture of cotton cloth by
China and Japan is responsible for the
'decrease.
In 1863 the first spinning mill was
erected in Japan with 5,456 spindles. In
1883 there were 16 mills ' with 43,700
spindles, and in 1893 there were 46 rn
with some 600,000 spindles. The statis
tics regarding the industry in China
have not been published, but a conserv
ative estimate is that the end- of this
year will witness 360,000 spindles, 3,000
looms, 'besides numerous cotton gins
ready to operate in 15 cotton mills. In
Japan the mill owner pays from 8 to 20c
per day in silver for mill hands, while
m th Unjl SialfPi.Jahor. he says is
paid zor in goia. uurmg f i in goia
has been equal to $2 of Japanese silver,
which makes clear, according to his
reasoning, that the mill owner in the
United States is paying twice as much
for labnr as the Japanese.
Mr. Jernigan says that he does not
wish to intimate that the price of labor
in the United States should be regulated
oy tne price or labor in oriental coun
tries, but unless some standard of inter
national value for the payment of labor
is agreed upon the products of the
oriental laborers will become a danger
ous rival to that of the occidental labor
ers. Silver, he says, is used by one-half
of the world and gold by the other half,
ana wmie wages in one-half are paid m
a depreciated currency and in the othef
half in an appreciated currency, a rivalry
between the respective products of the
labor of each is encouraged with the ad
vantage in the outset to the products of
the laborers paid in depreciated j cur
rency, especially when the latter can
supply his-daily wants with such a cur
rency, which he willingly receives and
remains contented therewith. Such ap
parent advantage is no longer offset
by the superiority of the machinery
heretofore employed in manufacturing,
which was oonfined to the other half of
the world now using gold. The same
machinery is now used in China and
Japan as in other countries. I
