- Tbe Production of Caviare. --
Two distinct varieties of caviare are
manufactured in Russia the granulat
ed and tbe pressed forms., Tbe granu
lated form is obtained by passing the
fish roes under pressure through a fine
meshed sieve. The small eggs pass in
tact, but the envelopes are retained in
the sieve. .' To these pure salt Is added
In the proportion of one-twentieth or
one-fortieth. . It Is Intimately mixed
with tbe eggs by means of a kind of
wooden spoon. The caviare Is then
ready for consumption. It Is packed
In round metallic boxes of one and a
half to five pounds and enveloped In
parchment for transportation. The
pressed caviare keeps better than tbe
granulated form. ,
To obtain it tbe fresh caviare is treat
ed with a solution of salt at 25 degrees
Baume until the eggs acquire a-cer
tain degree of hardness. This opera
tion requires considerable skill and ex
perience. If allowed to stay in tbe so
lution too long, the caviare will be too
salty, and if not long enough the eggs
cannot be preserved. The caviare is
then put Into small sacks, which are
pressed under a screw press to drive
ont the excess of salt It Is packed ta
barrels containing up to 1.000 pounds
or left In the original sacks, which
measure 8 by 20 Inches, The average
export of pressed caviare for tbe three
years 1S00 to 1S03 has been more than
3,000 tons, representing a value of 51.

SENATORIAL PRIMARY.
An Example of Who MayPartioi-
pate in .the Primary.
Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer. :
The following is tbe text of the resolu
tion, introduced by Maj. E.J. Hale at the
meeting of the Democratic State commit
tee this month, as to who shall be al
lowed to vote at the senatorial primary:
"Ilesoived 1 hat the term 'Democratic
voters' in the resolution of the State con
vention shall be construed to include all
white and Croatan electors who vote in
the November election for the Democratic
presidential electors and for the Demo
cratic candidate for congress, as well as
all white and Croatan electors who voted
the Democratic ticket last August, and
we hereby extend an invitation to every
voter in North Carolina, not already so
entitled, to qualify himself for voting in
said senatorial primary by casting bis
ballot on that day for the Democratic
presidential and congressional tickets."
Maj. Hale said this would result in gain
ing several tnousand votes for Hryan and
btevenson. t
The fact is that the State convention
said that any one who voted the Demo
cratic ticket at theAugustelection should
oeengioie, ana toe committee, to "even-
up" things, added that those who voted
for Bryan and Stevenson and the Demo
cratic congressmen in November should
alno be eligible. ' -
For example: Bill Jones, a Populist,
voted in August against the amendment
and the Democratic ticket, but in Novem
ber votes for Bryan and Stevenson and
the Democratic nominee for congress, so
ne votes in the primary.
John Smith, gold Democrat, voted in
August forth amendment and for the
Democratic Btate ticket, but does not
vote in November for Bryan and Steven
son, so he votes in the primary.

DE3TRTJOTTVE FIRE.
The Atlantio Warehouse and Sta
bles and B. W. Oanady'a Barn
And Stables Burned. Loss About
$6,000. Tobaooo Market Not
Injured.
This morning about 1:30 o'clock, our
people were awakened and startled by the
cry of fire, as it rang from one end of tbe
town to tne otuer. The fire alarm had
already sounded, and in a few minutes
hundreds of people were at the scene of
the fire. ;;.! .vv.;..'
The fire originated in the barn and sta
bles lust back of the Atlati tic Warehouse,
on west Washingtoaetreet. In a short
time the warehouse was burn ncr. and
despite the efforts of the fire .cOmpanv
and other citizens, it was burned to the
ground. ' The barn and stables in Mr.
B. W. Canady'a yard were also- burned
as were the warehouse stables and the
fences about the place.
It seemed at one time that the Amen
can Tobacco Co.'s steamery would burn
but with ereat effort it was saved. Had
that building caught, no doubt tbe whole
oi tnat wock and other buildings , would
nave Deen aestroyed.
Toe long row of handsome shade trees,
rnnningfrom Mr. Canady's reeidencato
Heritage street, except those at his dwel
ling, were so badly burned that they wil

lie carried Insurance on the buildinar
for three years, and only recently dropned
it.- . ' . .
Mess. Crisp. Wooten & Co.. who had
leased the Atlantic Warehouse, had about
f i,auu wortn of tobacco . on tbe floor.
wnicn was burned. They bad onlr S500
insurance.
Mr. Canady has the sympathy of tbe
people in his great loss, the second one
witnin nve years. His hard ware store
was burned in the great fire of 1895.
Mess. Crisp, Wooten & Co. are unfortu
nate to lose their warehouse just in the
midst of the tobacco season. We hope
they can" make some ' arrangements to
continue tneir business this season. Mr.
Canady will rebuild the warehouse, in
time for the next tobacco crop. s - i
l He origin of tbe fire is unknown,
When first discovered ; the loft of the
stables, in which was stored a lot of
oats, was in full blaze. Some have sug
gested spontaneous combustion, and the
probability of a tramp accidentally set
ting it afire. ' .. : ' "
The people of Einstonhate to think the
property was purposely fired. ,.
JUnston s tobacco market need not
suffer on account of the burning of the
Atlantic Warehouse. There , are three
other , tremendous warehouses here and
plenty of room to handle all the tobacco
brougbt to Kioston.
BUTCHERED BY RUSSIANS.
Horrible Massacre of the People of
a Chinese- Village on the Amur
River. A,-. ,
London Sept. 21. "Authentic news
has been received here," says the Mos
cow correspondent of The Standard, "of
a horrible massacre at Blagovelchensk,
which was undoubtedly carried out un
der direct orders from the Russian author
ities, and which then let loose the tide
of the slaughter in Amur.
"The entire Chinese population of 5.000
souls was escorted out of town to a spot
five miles up tbe Amur, and then, being
led in batches of a few hundreds to the
river banks, was ordered to cross over to
the Chinese side. No boats were provided
and the river is a mile wide.
The Chinese were flung alive into the
stream and were stabbed or shot at the
least resistance, while Russian volunteers,
vbo lined tbe bank, clubbed or shot any
who attempted to land. No one escaped
alive. - ,
"Tbe river bank for miles was strewn
with corpses."
Russians Massacre 12,000 Chinese.
London, Sept. 21. Further details re
ceived here state that in the massacre of
Chinese by Russians at Blaeovelchensk.
12,000 persons in all were killed.
