C, June 10. The South ern Cotton Spinners' Association held two enthusiastic meetings here today. Two hundred and fifty spinners were represented in person and 150 by letter. The letters came from Georgia, Ala bama, Mississippi and Tennessee, and they heartily approved the association and i'ts work. The morning session was called to or der at 11 o'clock by Colonel J. T. An thony, president of the association, who said: 'Gentlemen, we know the purpose of this meeting is to complete our organi zation and take definite steps toward curtailing production of yarns and the reduction of freierht rates. We have already seen a slight advance in the price in yarns and a reduction of freight rates'. We have already seen freigh rates since our first meeting on May 15th. Our work is bearing fruit." A constitution and by-laws, which v.oH vwn nrenared for the association, was read and discussed, but were not nrinnitPHl until the afternoon session. This session was full Of life. A motion to curtail the production of yarn mills 25 per cent., beginning June 15th, was offered and unanimously adopted. The committee on freight rates re Doned that after June 15th the Sea board Air Line road would make a rate of 25 cents per bale for cotton a.M noints on its line.

(Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, June 10. The trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical, col lege have had three sessions today and filled Intervals with caucuses. Governor Russell, who has had his heart set on ousting four or five , members of -" the faculty and also on transferring the state experiment station to the college, is said tonight ' to have carried his point. All the populist and some of the republican trustees have attended these caucuses. The governor does most of his work with the populists. : President Holliday, of the college,' recommends that the college be opened September 1st, or two weeks earlier than heretofore and . that it close June 1st. Some increase of salaries of three proles, sors Is recommended. A majority of the board seems to have paid far. more attention to the pie hunt ing features of the business than' to any thing else. . The board met again at 8 o'clock this evening. It was at that hour said the majority of the board would surely put the college into politics, and transfer the experiment station t& the college; also that removals of some' of the faculty are certain. Those members of the board who oppose this course are very angry and are doing plain talking. Some of those who last night opposed are said to have changed their view today, J. C. Li. Harris has stood up like a hero for his policy of keeping the college out of politics. - Tonight's session of the board was stormy from start to finish. B. F. Dixon and H. G. .Connor made motions to ad journ for a month and then to July 6th, so as to have time to examine into the document" containing thirty-five proposi tions, which was submitted by Governor Russell's caucus. In ; this document the caucus crowd term themselves "We." The propositons- make most radical changes. When the motions of Dixon and Connor were voted down by the machine they very properly withdrew from the board. This was a very fit way to manifest their opinion of the proceedings. Pool, of Pasquotank, wrote a letter to day to the governor, saying some of his people were sick and he could" not be here. So late this eveningthe Governor Issued a commission to Clerk Crowder, of the state treasurer's office as trustee at large in Pool's place. Pool did not re sign and Crowder's appointment is proba bly for this occasion only. The session of the board was stormy and bitter. Trustee Hardin, of Raleigh, de clared a lie had been told by members of the board, in fact, more than one lie. It is asserted that J. C. L. Harris at last abandoned his long fight after a stormy Interview-with the governor. . Late this afternoon the governor had a caucus in the executive office and part of the propositions submitted tonight were on executive department paper. The gov ernor's chief supporter in his fight has been J. R. Chamberlain. Voting for brof essors of the college did not begin until yery late. Professor Irby was displaced and his chair of agriculture given to F4 E. Emery, who retains his place as agriculturalist at the experiment farm. ' E. G. Butler, trustee, was elected as sistant professor of English, also the bureau registrar and secretary to tne faculty was displaced. Trustee Hardin made charges against Butler and the latter spoke in self defense. Then there was discussion of the legal question whether a trustee can be elected an officer. Supreme court decisions were brought in. Trustee J. J. Brjtt was elect ed to take Professor R. E. Lyatt's place. The office of state chemist, held by Her bert B. Battle, was abolished so as to oust him. Cebern D. Harris, who gradu ated yesterday, was elected assistant chemist at the f ertMzer experiment sta tion, vice A. S. AsTOry. . Professor Charles B. Park was dropped, and his place left for the executive com mittee to fill. President Holliday was not disturbed. . - The board adjourned at midnight until December. - Henry Bonitz, democrat, who remained during the entire session, fought with all his power every movement detrimental to the best interests of the college. The state grants a charter to the North State Mining and Manufacturing Com pany, of Jackson county. E. L. Simmons, A. S. J. Gammon and W. H. Bowden in- corporaters. United States Marshal Carroll has re turned from Washington, and it is said will complete his term of office, charges made against him by various deputies having been withdrawn. - James Young, colored, says he is certain to sret the Ralelch nostoffice next March. when Charles J M. Busbee's term expires. President Joseph G. Brown of the Citi zens National bank makes the statement that the North Carolina Phosphate Com-; pany, qf Castle Haynes, does not owe that bank $31,000, but owes" it $8,457, for which the bank holds $31,500 of the company's bonds.

UNDER HEALED ORDERS Tha Pla08blp yew fork Xeavas Boston In s Hoary Gale Fader Sealed Orders-Bar mlses as to He Destination. ; . Boston, June 10. The United States cruiser, "New York, the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, with Rear Admiral Montgomery Sioard on board, steamed out of the harbor at 5 o'clock this afternoon. 'I not a soul on board knowing to what' port she is bound, for it will only be when the big white crui ser Is well outside of Boston light, wiith her pilot over the side, that the sealed orders from Washington will be open ed and her destination "ascertained. It is generally believed, however," that when she reaches Cape Cod she will turn her nose , to the southward and that her twin screws will not stop until she is some Where -in the immediate neighborhood : of Cuba; for when she started she was fully provisioned and coaled, and could, if necessary, go as far as Gibraltar or Rio Janeiro, with out laying in more supplies. The New York arrived here on May 26th to participate in the ceremonies attending the unveiling of .the Shaw monument. The battleship Massachu setts eame with the flagship while the battleship Texas had arrived some days previously. The Texas left a few days ago, but the other two ships have been swinging at their moorings off tfie navy yard until today. That Rear Admiral Sicard must have had some inkling of an important cruise seems probable from ithe 7 fact that for the past few days the entire crew of the New York have been at work getting. the ship ready for sea, while her coal bunkers have been filled to overflowing. It was supposed, how ever, that the cruiser, would run around to New York, or, perhaps, Hampton Roads and a local pilot was notified that the ship would; probably proceed to sea in a day or two and that his ser vices would be required. Early this morning something more than the usual activity was noticed on board, and soon the excitement extend ed to the navy yard. It was seen that- all the steam' launches weirW being hoisted aboard and secured -as- .1 for a long voyage while extra precautions appeared to be taken to make every thing snug. , At noon an officer came ashore and notified the pilot to report on board at once, and shortly after 3 o'clock it be came known that sealed orders had been received from, the navy . depart ment by Admiral Slcard. Shortly after 4 o'clock the guns of the cruiser boomed a parting salute to Commodore Howison, of the navy yard. The anchor was weighed and the crui ser swung round in the stream and started out to sea, although a furious gale was blowing. Washington, June 10. The navy de partment officials were singularly , re served about the movements of the New York and showed a reluctance to answer any questions. Secretary Long, in answer to a direct interrogation re plied: "The New York is not going tc Cuba; she will next be heard from at some point on the Atlantic coast, well north of Cuba." The secretary refused to answer further, Standing on the short reply above given. The chief of the navigation bureau, who usually is always ready to tell where a ship is bound for, refused to say one word as to the destination of the New York. It was" learned, however, that the cruiser is expected to report next at Hampton Roads, Vsu, and that she will be at sea about two days. It is surmised that the navy department, which has been charged of late with the whole of the duty of looking after filibusters afloat, has been advised of the inten tion of some formidable expedition bound for Cuba, to puit out from some northern port, possibly out of Dela ware bay. fer perhaps there Is to be a repetition of the Horsa expedition, and some steamer is to take on arms for the Cubans off one of the now deserted sand beaches of Jersey or Delaware. In such case the department would send out a smaller cruiser usually, but it is said that at this time it was a case of the choice of tthe vessel able to get underway first. ELECTRIC BASE BALL. PITCHER. A Successful Trial of Prof. Hinton's Patent 1 Base Ball Pitching Machine. Princeton, N. J., June 10. Professor Hih ton's patent baseball pitching gun was a decided success today. Eight strike outs, one base on balls, one wild pitch and four safe hits is the record in three in nings in the first fair test of the ma chine's practicability in an actul. game. Nines representing the Ivy club and Tiger Inn, two of Princeton's social clubs, play ed a match game, using the gun to pitch for both teams and the contest attracted a large crowd of interested spectators, prominent among whom were Mrs. Cleve land, with a party of friends, and' many Princeton professors who came to see what success Professor Hinton's Invention would meet. The gun is discharged -by the batsman, who when resttiy for the ball to be delivered; steps upon an elec trical intercepting plate, connected by wires with the trigger of the cannon. The speed with which the ball is thrown Is regulated by compressed air, and prong like projectors from the cannon's mouth impart a rotary motion to the sphere when discharged, ' producing a curve in any direction, as the position of the pro jecting prongs is changed. There is but one serious defect in the operation of the machine that will prevent its use in games and that is the long time required for re loading. This was especially noticeable in today's game, because the intercepting plate was out of order and the frequent delays thereby necessitated, did not allow onlv were Dlaved. During tne first Inning only were played. During th first inning the batsmen were timid about standing near the plate and the big out curves caused them to jump back, but as the gun threw strikes in every Instance, they plucked , up courage, stood closer to the plate and succeeding occasionally in makinsr safe hits. The game was unin teresting excepting for the novelty or seeing the Ditcher's box occupied by a machine. The Ivy club won by a score of 7 to 3. Octagon Wins the Brooklyn Derby. . New York. June 10. There was a heavy track at Gravesend today and the showers whinh came occasionally did not improve the going. The attendance was fairly good, but not as heavy as might have been looked for on a Derby day. The chief event of the day was the Brooklyn Derbyat a mile and a quarter, for 3-year-olds, and six went to the post, with Scot tish Chieftain, winner of the Belmont, as the favorite. The Belmont pair, Octag on and Don d'Oro were second choice, and Budaha third in favoritism. The bet ting was heavy, and the bulk of the money- was on Scottish Chieftain. The delay was slight at the post, and they got away in good order, Octagon show ing the way past the grandstand for the first time, but all were under choking piiils. As they rounded into the back stretch they were well bunched with the exception of Octagon, who was running free in front of the others. At the upper turn Thorpe made a play with Braw Lad and got up into second place, but the effort was his last, and he slowly dropped back to the rear and was soon joined by The Friar and Scottish Chieftain, neither seeming to care for the going. As they came into the stretch Don d'Oro moved up into second place to his stable mate. Octagon, their positions in the Carlton stakes of a week ago being reversed.

Ho Denounces Republican Methods of . levying Income Duties and Criticises the Positions on Tariff Taken by the. Demo . erats The Sugar Schedule Under Discus sion SenatorYest Shows the Iniquities of the Differential Clause. " v SENATE. V Washington, June 10. The senate be gan work at 11 o'clock a m. today, and the tariff bill was taken up as soon as the routine 'business was out ttf the way. ' Senator Tiltoan took the floor on the pendfn'g amendment of Senator Can non, of Utah, providing' am export hounty on agricultural products. He said tie d esired tthe attention of his as sociates and as "the attenldancfe was meagre, he noted the absence of a quo (pm. The call disclosed " that fifty fouT senators , were present, nS-ne more tthstnr a . quorum, and; .Senator ,Tttlmian. proceeded. He said the tariff debat had dlscloseid a -nebulous condition 4n the minds of senators. Thfe-republican senators sat quietly, apparently con trolled 'by the caucus, refusinjg to dis cuss the dnlqulties of the "bill and unan imoufcly voting for the exactions in be, naif of trusts and monopolies.' "On ithe other hand," proceeded Senator Tillman, Tithe democrats are In a period of transit'fcm. They don't know where they're at. The older, more experienced, proclaim their alle giance to Uhe old, time-honored doc trines. We -had' an impassioned speech yesterday (by Senator Mills) in behalf of the Walker tariff principles, brought forward at this late day as democratic doctrine. Secession, nullification and other issues which) have passed: out of the minds of men might as Well be brought here. The tariff is merely a question of policy, as to how the gov ernment will raise its revenue. I say without hesitation, ft 3s 'to the best in terest of the American people that the articles consumed by pur people should be produced by our people. If that is republican doctrine, well and good. If that ts not demooraitic doctrine, . it ought to be." ' Senator Tilhnan went on to show that diversified Industries igave diversified (means of labor. As to the farmers, the need was not for more farmers, tout for a ttlariff which would no longer roD itne lEarmers we have. The farmer stood, his skinny, hioney hand out stretched, asking this export 'bounty to overcome the robbery of the pres ent system, and yet senators sat in stony silence,, expecting' this idiotic farmer, with tine motgage gnawing on his (home, mat to know ifchat they re fuse to give him relief. The senator 'vehemently pledged "his word to Wis colleagues that they would not de ceive the farmers and that the 9,000,000 followers of the plow -"will settle iwlth you alt the ballot 'box." Referring Do any "bill, not giving ad equate relief to farmers, Senator Till man exclaimed: ""I am prepared to throw some rooks that will stagger some of you amen.' The senator ana lyzed the extent of agricultural inter ests throughout the country, includ ing the south, "the Ishimaeliite, tine sec tion that has had no rights since the war."1 While that section had labored under the ban of secession paying bil lions as a result of Its attempt to se cede, it was stili face to face with the demand of the" horse-leach, Crying more, more, more. This section and the agricultural interests always had been at the mercy of tariff hills which found itheir genesis In th'e 'benefits con ferred on New England. As Senator Tillman spoke, ithe gal leries filled in anticipiaition of a lively time. While speaking with Ms usual Vehemence of voice and gesture, th senator' adopted an argumentative style, to show that ithe farmer was re ceiving' the hurdens, without the .bene fits of the tariff. When he referred at one point to the Chicago platform's declaration on the tariff, it 'brought Senator Vest to his feet m, explanation. He voted in the Chicago-convention, amid great uproar and contusion, rsaid Senator Vest, for the long and in pant nebulous platformi He never knew, until ft had come out here, that theTword 'faly 'had been left out of the declaration for a " tariff for revenue. "If I had known it," proceeded Senator Vest, "I would have risen in my place and imoved to lnsent ft, for it is 'the creed of the democratic party. lAnd I 'believe a 'majority of the convention did not know of the omis sion, as all our attention was concen trated on the money issue." Proceeding, Senator TiMman. turned to his democratic associates and said they now had a chance, with the votes of a few republican senators, "not lost to all sense of shame and decency," to give some measure of relief to the farmers. They would receive little or no benefit 'from the duty on cotton and cereals. They asked for 'bread and were given a stone. They asked som& relief and democratic senators set up a "mummy and laheled it a "itariff for revenue only." H "Great God, such democracy!" ex claimed Senator Tijlman, With dra matic emphasis. 'Democratic senators had spoken of a "new Evangel," he said, and had twitted h&ni and others of leading' the democratic party into ithe republican camp. These senators, instead of off ering the cardinal demo cratic principle of efquality, 'gave the Sodom apple of "tariff for revenue only" to their constituents. "You are holding the telescope with the big end to your eye," declared Sen ator Tillman, addressing his associates, "and, at the little end you see the le gend, 'tariff for revenue only,' Instead of that great doctrine of democracy, equal rights for all, special provisions for none." 1 In conclusion) the senator said he 'be lieved in! secuTirig for the south as many 'benefits as possible. He arraign ed! republican senators for the ine qualities of their Tegfelaltion and for 'keeping Cuba under the heel of IWey- ler." They claim, he said, to be fol lowers of Lincoln, ibmt "you are un worthy tto tie the shoe-latches of that great man." The democratic senators claimed to toe followers of Jefferson, while itihey were abandoning J errerson a cardinal principle of equal rights to the people. After the amendment had been furth er debated by Senator Allen, of Nebras ka; Senator Perkin, of California, and Senator Cannon, a vote was taken on it and It was defeated 10 to 59.- This closed' the consideration of the Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and delicious. Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. ctrtal p4r4rraph of th agricultural schedule and Senator Allison, la chtrft of the bill, asked that the further con sideration of the agricultural schedule be postponed, and that the senate go back to the sugar schedule. There was no opposition and. the senate thereupon entered upon the consideration of the sugar schedule. Senator Jones, of Ar kansas,, made the first speech on the schedule. ' He had before him small bottles showing the various grades of sugar, raw, and, refined, and with these illustrated his argument as he pro ceeded. He asserted that the new, su gar proposition would increase the profits of the sugar refiners in every point. If that was the purpose of the managers of the bill, they should let It be known. He was In favor of a tax on sugar, but he believed that it should be made as light as possible and should give no sepcial benefit to anybody by the way in which the duty was ar ranged. Senator Jones read a statement from an expert accountant, showing profits of 39 per cent, by one of the sugar com panies of the Pacific coast which vig orously supported the abrogation of Hawaiian reciprocity. It disclosed the comfortable condition of a concern which came here and pleaded the baby act, he said. Senator Vest criticised the general features of the sugar schedule. He spoke of the effect the senate's action weuld have on the speculators in Wall street and said . he had heard it pre dicted, from those who ought to know, that if this schedule stands, sugar stock will go up to 150 a share. He de scribed the new sugar schedule as "in genious and artistic." The speculators understood it. He had ascertained and was prepared to prove mathematically that the protection given the trust on sugars testing 36 degrees in the present law was .34 cent a pound; in the Ding ley schedule .59; in the original senate bill .62 and in the new schedule agreed on by the republican senatorial cau cus .67. In conclusion Senator "Vest de clared that the schedule deluded the public in the interest of this "gigantic monopoly." Senator Lindsay (Kentucky), offered an amendment to strike out the. dif ferential. on refined sugar. Senator Morgan gave ndtice of an amendment to be offered at the proper time, levying a tax of 1 cent a pound on all sugars refined in this country, ex cepting, however, sugars that are re fined by concerns not in the sugar trust. 1 Senator Caff ery, of Louisiana, fol lowed. The old fight between the pro ducers of raw sugar and the refiners which in this country was the trust, was, he said, again on. He spoke of the scandal of 1894 over the sugar schedule produced by the rapacity of the sugar trust. It was to be repeated now. There were consumed In this country 4,000,000,000 pounds of sugar an nually. Jf the trust was to receive half a cent a pound, as this schedule pro posed that would mean $20,000,000 to the trust. Here then was the ' impellant cause wheh brought this great corpora tion to Washington to look after? Its in terests. He discussed sugar production In both Germany and his own state and said he did not believe 100 per cent, or 80 per cent, duty was necessary t6 keep the Louisana sugar industry afloat.
