" ' Tonight Captain Drake reported his ar rival at San Diego and said that he would at once proceed to investigate the condition of the Bennington and make a report to the department. Orders were issued to Holden A. Evans, naval constructor stationed at the"Mare Island yard, directing him to proceed at once to Sah Diego. He will go aboard the Bennington and make a thorough Inspection of the vessel, at the same time endeavoring to ascertain the cause of the "explosions which destroyed her. Rear Admiral Godrich, commanding the Pacific station, arrived today at pBellingham Bay, Puget Sound. He is aboard his flagship, the cruiser Chicago, xnd has just completed- a cruise in Alaskant waters. He received his first news of the disaster at San Diego when he arrived at Bellingham Bay, and found orders awaiting him there from Washington to go directly to San Diego. He. has not reported his departure, but it is prohale that he will start very soon. Rear Admiral Goodrich, commanding rival at San Diego receive all of the information concerning the accident that has so far been gathered by the officers already there. He will have absolute control of the situation and one of his first steps will probably be the appointment of a board of inquiry. This will come after a preliminary in vestigation, which will practically be completed by the time of the arrival of " Admiral Goodrich. If the court of inquiry after taking evidence from the officers on board the Bennington, and making a deep and thorough investi gation of the accident, finds that there was negligence on the part of any one, a court martial will then be ordered.

THE INDUSTRIAL NEWS Meeting of Stockholders to Be Held Monday Backers of the Republican Organi zation Newspaper Talking Boldly About Its Appearance Soon-Equipment Contracts, Etc. By THOMAS J. PENCE "Washington, July 22. Special. Sec retary Wilson of tub department" of agriculture has arranged to receive the committee from the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Much linteresjt attaches to this conference between the representatives of the manufacturers and the secretary for no decision with reference to the sub stitution of a new cotton report for the one issued June last will be made until this .meeting takes place. The backers of the Industrial News, the organization daily newspaper to be, are beginning to talk boldly about the early appearance of ttiat paper. Monday the directors meet in Greens boro, when a formal announcement as to the future of the paper will be made. R. H. McNeil, one of the stockholder? of the Industrial News, " says all the -contracts for the equipment, which were signed som time ago, stipulated that the machinery shall be ready for delivery by August 15. Asheville, N. C, July . 22. Special. Politicians of the Republican persua sion are today Interested in a report to the effect that the Industrial News, the proposed daily paper that has the support of the state organization, is soon to be an assured fact. State Chairman Rollins will go to Greensboro tonight ,and will on Mon day attend a meeting of the directors of the .new company, when final ar rangements will be made for the pub lication of the paper. Of special interest is the fact that the editor oT the proposed paper will be selected at this time, unless there' is a hitch In present arrangements. In this connection, the name of former Lieutenant-Governor Chas. A. Reyrfolds of "Winston is mentioned. Mr. Reynolds is a regular contributor to the Union Republican of "Winston Salem, and is a writer as weir as a politician of wide reputation. Very -little importance is attached to the "report, sent out first from Greensboro and later from "Washing ton, that Congressman Blackburn and Chairman Rollins have agreed upon a patronage program which calls for the appointment of Mr. Rollins as district attorney. A local politician, in . a position to be advised, says this latest report is simply a recurrence of the talk that has broken out periodically since the holding of the Charlotte 'court last December. . The Asheville "district conference of the M. E. Church, South, now In ses sion at -Barnardsville in the Big Ivy section of Buncombe, is being well at tended. ..

BODY OF PAUL JONES ARRIVES The Cruiser Brooklyn Passes Through Virginia Capes - . .. NAVAL DEMONSTRATION Interment at Annapolis Where the Ceremonies Will Be of an Impos ing CharacterFrench Warship to Participate Distinguished Naval Officers to Take Part Norfolk. Va., July 22. The body of Admiral John Paul Jones, recently found in Paris as the result of a search inspired and conducted under the di rect charge of General Horace Porter; former United States American am assadobr to France, passed in the Vir ginia! capes this" morning' on the Uni ted States cruiser Brooklyn, under Rear Admiral Sigsbee, the Brooklyn having as escorts across the Atlantic from France the cruisers Galveston; Tacoma and Chattanooga, Off this coast the fleet waa met by the battleship squadron of the North Atlantic fleet in two divisions, the first being under the command of Rear Ad miral Evans and the second command ed by Rear Admiral Davis. The three squadrons approached the capes to gether, the vessels under command of Rear Admiral Evans leading, and the Davis and Sigsbee squadrons closely following. Upon the vessels reaching Cape Henry Admiral Evans squadron com posed of the battleship Maine as flag ship, the battleships Missouri, Ken tucky and Kearsarge, passed into low er Chesapeake bay at 10 o'clock. Then came the Sigsbee squadron. Following these were the vessels of Rear Admiral Davis Squadron, which entered the lower bay in this order: The b.ttieshipa - Alabama, ; Illinois, Massachusetts and Iowa, The ceremonies at Annapolis will be participated in by the French cruiser' Jurien de La Graviere, which was de tached from the French North Atlan tic squadron and sent to Chesapeake Bay to represent France at the cere monies attending the arrival and In terment of Admiral Jones body at Annapolis. " The French cruiser, which has been at Baltimore since her arrival in thesa waters, will leave that cits' today to join the American -vessels bound to ward Annapolis. The Sigsbee squadron when met by the squadron under Rear Admirals Evans and Davis, was given a salute of fifteen guns from each of the home squadrons, in honor to AdmiraJ Jones as a vice admiral. John Paul Jones, though an admiral in the Russian navy, held no higher rank than captain in the United States navy, ut was generally given the title of commodore as the commander of a squadron, and the French government, when the ody was borne away from Cherbourg on the cruiser Brooklyn two wefeks ago, accorded the deceased the honor of a vice admiral. The United States government decided to follow the same course In thf ceremonies on this side of the Atlantic Rear Admirals Sands, Sigsbee and Davis and the commanding officers of the attleships of the Davis ( squadron, which has proceeded to Annapolis with the Sigsbee fleet, will act as honorary pall bearers when the body is borne to its resting place at that point. Paris, July 22. France has decided to send a squadron across the Atlantic at the end of October in honor of the memory of John Paul Jones. Reception of Body at Annapolis Monday Annapolis, Md., July 22. At a late hour tonight, Rear Admiral Sand, com mandant of the academy, received ad vices by wireless telegraph that Ad miral Sigsbee's fleet, bearing. the re mains of John Paul Jones had appeared within seventeen miles of the academy wharf, and with Admiral Davis four convoys, eight vessels in all, had drop ped anchor until tomorrow morning. At 10 o'clock tomorrow the fleet will get under way and come up within a few miles of the wharf. It was about 11 o'clock this morning when the; first advices were received that the fleet had passed the Capes and was in the Chesapeake Bay headed for Annapolis. It is'a small brick structurewitfe stone trimmings open at each end except a net work of iron grating that will re ceive the casket. It will open and the casket will, be in fuU view at all times except during stormy weather, when storm doors, which supplement the grating, will be closed. The vault will be under guard constantly from the time the casket is deposited- there Mon day until it is removed a year hence to its last resting place. ' ' . v. The new vault is being built below the new naval academy memorial chapel. The following order of exer cises was issued late this evening by Admiral Sands . "The reception of the body of the late John Paul Jones will -take nlar.A this station at 10' a. m. Monday, the 24th instant. The, honorary pallbearers will be Rear. Admiral James. H? Sands, U. S.

All officers attached to the station will attend, forming at the foot of Maryland avenue at 9:45 a. m." Uniform for officers White service dress, white caps. Uniform for enlisted men White dresau Uniform for marines White un dress, white caps." ; The exercises will be very brief arid informal. The receiving vault is only about two hundred yards v from the wharf, so there will be no opportunity afforded for marching. . : Late this afternoon weather condi tions on the Chesapeake Bay became so bad that wireless communication be tween the fleet and the academy was suspended. . ' Raleigh People ih New England Boston, Mass., . July 22. Special. President Charles F., Meserve of Shaw University, Raleigh,: N.

Many other southerners are sum mering at various New England re sort. Others -are from Memphis, Vir ginia, Nashville, Atlanta and Alabama, MRS. WEBB-DUKE AGAIN Additional Light Thrown On Life of the' Adventuress Woman Who Took in Brodie Duke Was Once Employed by Senator Depew's Construction Company. She Refuses to Tell New York, July 23. The American of today (Sunda) says that .Respite, the fact that ;Brodl L. Duke's attor neys and detectives class his wife as "an adventuress ; of the most danger oust type," after tracing her record since she became fourteen years of age, George Day, a promlrietn' New York real estate man, declared today that she was at one time the author ized representative of Chauncey M. Depew, in connection with the Depew Land Company of Buffalo. v In a sworn statement, now on file with the papers in the proceeding recently instituted by Duke for an ab solute divorce. Mr. Day. who is at the head of the Ludlow-Day Realty Com pany, also makes mention of Alice Webb Duke's connection with Depew's land improvement scheme, in which was sunk more than $200,000 of the 'unds of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Additional sensation and mystery Is added to the story by the absolute refusal of Mrs. Duke to divulge how she managed to gain the confidence of the - statesman who has recently "fig ured so prominently in the ' most gigantic financial scandal the country has known. On her part she positively denies that she ever was connected with the now defunct Buffalo enterprise. When pressed, she seemed annoyed and threatened criminal prosecution for those who, she said, had been instru mental in obtaining and giving what she said was false testimony about her past life. Mr. Day is positive in his assertion, however, that he has known the pres ent Mrs. Duke for many years Imd that there can be no. mistake about the statement he makes. DE WITT AND R0UVIER Russian Envoy Holds Conference With French Premier Paris,' July" 22. 7M. DeWitte called at the foreign office today and held an exceptionally conference with Pre mier Rouvier. It was assumed that the length of the meeting waa in regard to the coming peace negotiations. How eer, the .officials entourage, declare that both ministers observe complete circumspection regarding the details of their convoy's action. It was point ed -out that the report circulated re garding the transfer of the Japanese war loans to Russia as one of the con ditions . of peace was entirely . unwar ranted and likely to' endanger the pros pects of a settlement. Such a tran saction would arouse a protest from the investing public who subscribed to the loans . many, of whom consider that the transfer would be contrary to their interests. - hey received certalA guarantees from Japan, and they fear that . those given by Russia would not be equivalent. President Ixnibet received M. WItte this', afternoon- at the Elyse palace. The .meeting: was devoid of ceremony Iand consisted of half an hour's talk in the president's library and Mme. j Loubet' left Paria for their summer va- cation at Rambouillet. . i ' .. , - , - . '. ' : S CZAR AND KAISER CONFER TODAY Proposed, Abdication of Czar the Subject WILHELSI IS AGAINST IT This Meeting of Monarchs One 'of Great Importance Hoes of Set tlement of War Through Peace Conference Are Not Augmented by Recent Developments St. Petersburg, July 22. -The em peror sailed at 2 o'clock today on the yacht Polar Star, ostensibly for a cruise along the coast, but really it is believed to meet the kaiser in Swedish waters. He is expected to be absent five days. He will give a great ban quet to- the kaiser aboard the Polar Star tomorrow. - Berlin, July 22. The meeting of the kaiser is the exclusive 'object of the czar's journey. The czar expressed a desire to consult the kaiser and the Baltic Sea was selected as the meet ing place, as the czar can not go to Germany nor can the kaiser go to Rus sia on account of the political condi tion. These are established facts, even in case internal events should cause the'' czar to delay his departure. The Laff ans correspondent at St. Pe tersburg says dispatches are' printed throughout Germany as first rate in formation deserving." of more credit than Russian semS-official denials London, July 22. The question which i9 being gravely ' considered in .. high Russian circles today is will Nicholas be on the Russian throne when Japan makes known her demands of M Wltte and his associates. Put in another form the question of the hour is, , has the czar gone to feek advice of the kaiser upon the momentous proposal of his abdication in favor of a regengcey in the hands of the Dowager Empress? If such be the object of his mes sage there can not be the slightest I doubt as to how the influence of Em peror William will be directed. The ! kaiser will use hi utmost efforts for 'three ends to inducte Nicholas to re tain he crown, to make an early peace and to maintain the autocracy, witn I the fewest possible concessions to the ! popular demands. I There is no man living of more mas terful personality than the German em ! peror. Those who know both men have Ismail flniiht as to what will be the re J suit of tomorrow's interview, which will ! certainly be of greater historic impor j tance than any modern , meeting of monarchs. The imagination, indeed, is staggered i hv its nossible consequences. It win be interesting to know what was its inception.. The Lafan's correspondent at St. Petersburg wires that it is due to the kaiser's initative. The Laffan's Berlin correspondent on the other hand says it is of the czar's seeking. It is th Inst desnerate resort of a dis- jtracted monarch who feels the throne ! tottering beneath him and longs to es icape with his life, or it is primary to another great move in the world poli tics by the master mind who let slip no opportunity for the aggrandizement of the erma-n empire. While, we await the answer to these fateful questions we may turn to the less pressing matter of the impending peace conference. An unfavorable im- Jpression has been created by M. Witte's declaration regarding Russia s peace attitude. The sole interpretation put upon it is -that it is a disheartened piece of bluff intended to alarm Tokio. The Spectator newspaper justly re marks today: "M." Wltte, like all Russians, can not quite" rid himself of the idea that he is addressing Inferiors and that it lis well to begin at home vfbw gzkqkq is well to begin with a covert but per otible menace. ; It is not a wise way to. begin and it will somewhat shake i rnnfirtence in M" Witte's capacity. He iforerefs that' Tokio is as proud as St j Petersbrug. Does M. Witte after all ' recent experience imagine that Japan ese diplomacy is ill informed? The tone of his Interview seems to Indicate that Vinif ' comprehension of ones enemy which is always the greatest obstacle to successful negotiations. CHERAW IS .GROWING Business Activity of a Live Palmetto ' - State Town Ckeraw. S. VC July Cfi- Special. Last night a gentleman representing a large northern syndicate' met the city council council in regard to es tnhlishinff an up-to-date water plant, tand it now looks as" though the plans would mature, In which event, within the -next eighteen months ' the town wljl have a water-works system. The "board of trade has received nirationS from a party In Ken- ! tucky with - reference to the erection of an Ice plant. An enterprise of this character should be a profitable in vestment here, owing to our admir able location, with . railroads out In six different directions. Thebuilding activity continues, and although there have been erected with in the past three years more than one hundred and sixty buildings, the only vacant house in town today is the Seaboard Ah Line passenger statlqn, which has .been completed over two months, and is still unoccupied. -After promising this building for some nine months, tie Seaboard faile dto pro vide it until ordered to do . so by the railroad commission- The present ar rangement is positively hazardous to life and limb, for frequently , in . the congested space "available for passen gers boarding and leaving trains, peo ple are actually rolled along between moving trains and box cars on the sidetrack. This (Chesterfteld)-' county subscribed $50,000 in bonds to aid in the Seaboard extension to Columbia, and was the only county along the line giving one penny to the cause, and the town of Cheraw furnishes more tonnage thaji any point between Columbia and Raleigh. It would jseem that the powers "higher up" would appreciate these facts and endeavor to help us. - JERRY SIMPSON DYING Famous Kansanthe Victim of Attack of Heart Trouble Rosewell, N. M., July 22.

Quarantines have been proclaimed -against New Or leans by the state board of health of Texas and Mississippi and the ; city board - of health of Mobile pn the ground that yellow fever existed in khfiS city.

Provision was made for the disinfec tion of all houses in that section the screening of all cisterns, and the kill ing of all mosquitoes.' All the quar antines are of individuals this year and no attempt will be made to in tefere with mail or with freight of 'any kind. As a consequence there was no depression in business here," The local stocks have been depressed for several days. , Galveston, Tex., Juiy 22. Thjs city today put in force a rigid quarantine against New Orleans where yellow fever is reported. State Health Officer Tabor upon report received declared a state of quarantine last night and prohibited railways from bringing pas sengers from Nw Orlfenas into the state and has directed the establish ment of inspection stations at every state line railway entrance on vthe eastern border of thes tate. He' left today for New Orleans to thoroughly investigate and report 6n the conditions there. At-noon today the .city and county commissioners met and "author ized the city and county physicians to place medical inspectors and guards at statoins beyond the city limits to ex amine all passengers and have them make oath whether they have been in New Orleans or not. If they have they will be removed from the trains and detained five days in detention camps established at Virginia Point and Port Bolivar on the mainland.

The govern- . ment is unable to co-operate in such a movement and Mr. Lucas was re ferred to the New York immigration! ; off lic&ls. An . interview with Mr. Lu-, cas quotes him as saying that North Carolina can take 200,000 immigrants "We don't want all these people at oncsj," Mr. Lucas is quoted as say-1 ins!. . "We could not place them all in a 1 single season, but we can take such.i a number, if they are willing to worto and anxious to better their conditions, i In the next few' years. We want them in groups, and neighborhood companies if possible, so that they shall not be come lonesome and homesick. "We have a number of such colonies in the state now and they are doing well. There is no limit to the oppor tunities) and possibilities of the state for such people, and we need them. The whole south needs them.

The Laffans despatch to the effect that a special session of Congress would be called by President Roosevelt on November 10th was confirmed today at the exa cutive offices. In that session, the president, it Is understood, desires to put through; some legislation very much needed from the progress of the Panama ca nal. By the time the extraordinary ses sion hetrins the plans of Chairman Theodore P. Shonts and Engineer J. J. Stevens will be in a measure formu lated and the president wishes tha work to go on without a hitch for want of provisions and appropriaions. in president also -wjshes some anti-rebate and other railroad legislation put through and it is highly probable that the president ideas with regard to tarifl conditions will receive attention at th4 session.
