BONDS BROUGHT $109 Esta Brook & Co., of Boston, Highest Bidders. WERE SEVENTEEN IN ALL Phenonlnally Large A Representative of the successful Didders in the City Bids Opened at May or's Office at Noon Esta Brook and Company of Bos ton get the fifty thousand bond issue for street improvements. Their bid was the highest of all received being $109 327 with accrued intersst. The bonds will bring the city about $54,800. The bids, seventeen in number, were opened at noon in the mayor's office by the city treasurer, Mr. Joseph G Brown, in the presence of Mayor Wm Russ, the commissioner of the sinking fund, Mr B R Lacy; the chairman of the finance commit tee, Mr J D Bouhall. A nunibe of citizens were present, including Mr J C Drewry, chairman of the street committee who was there in an un official capacity. Representatives of several of the bidders also witnessed the opening of the bids. Among these were Mr Butrick, of Boston, represent ing the successful bidders Esta Brook & Co ; Mr Seymour, of the firm of Seymour Bros. & Co , of New York; T M Pearce representing the Penn Mutual company. The formality of opening the bonds and examining the bids con sumed all of twenty-five minutes. As soon as the bids were opened it was ascertained at once that Esta Brook and Company of Boston were entitled to the bonds. Their bid was easily the highest. The bid of Sperry Jones & Co , of Balti more was next highest. The following is a complete list of those who submitted bids : Rudolph, Kleybotte & C, Cin cinnati, $108 21. Owen, Daly & Co , of Baltimore, $105.11. W. J. Hayes & Sons, Cleveland, O., $105.74. Sperry, Jones & Co., Baltimore, $108.76. Blair & Co., of New York City, $108.27. E. D. Shepard & Co., New York, $108.03. Felder & Co , of New York City, $107.91. Citizens' National National Bank, Raleigh. $10C.OO. Seymour Bros. & Co., New York, $107.51. Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co , $107,615. Esta Brook & Co., Bosto i, $109, 327. C. H. White & Cj , Ne York, $106.23. Fidelity and Deposit Co.. Balti more, $106.39. Mason, Lewis & Co., Chicago, $106.25. C. Hardy, for Norfolk National bank (20 bonds), $107. W. S. Blanehard, of Boston. (10 bonds) $107.75. Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance company (20 bonds), $105. Several of the bids were received by telegram today. Three came by wire after the award of the bond is sue had been made. As they were not so high as that of Esta Brook & Co., it made but little difference. Mr. Butrick. who represents the successful bidders, secured certified copies of all papers relating to the authority of the bond issue and he leaves to night for Boston, to submit them to the lawyers of the firm for which he is agent. The firm will accept the bonds at once. The very high bids of those con testing for the bonds speaks well for Raleigh. The bids were phe nominally high and it can be truly said that few city bands have ever been sold for so high apemium. The last issue of bonds brought $106.95. A Hot Letter.

The letter is filled with bitter sarcasm. A: KETTLE OF FISH. A Picture in the Post of Politics in North Carolina. A correspondent of the Washing ton Post, in a column article in that paper, gives a graphic review of the political imbroglio in this state. Among other things the Post's ar ticle says: Gov. Daniel L. Russell aud United States Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, do not believe that it is possible for tne republicans and populists to co-operate together in 1898 as one political organization as they did in 1894 and 1896. The reason for this belief is that the the populist party is pledged against the lease of the North Carolina rail road to the Southern company for ninety-nine years, and the republi can party, led by Senator Pritchard, is in favor of the lease. The populist state convention next year will de clare unrelenting hostility to the lease, and the republican state con vention will indorse the lease or bo silent on the subject, and the demo sratic state convention will take the same position as the republican state convention does. There appears to be a concerted movement of the democrats through out the state to re-establish the "white man's" party, and to make the color of a man's skin the badge of democracy. Senator Butler ap pears to be apprehensive that there is more danger in this movement than is ganerally thought to be, and the senator has declared to some of his intimate friends that ''something must be done to diyert the minds of the people from the white line issue which the democrats are making." It is known that Governor Russell concurs in the views of Senator But ler, and the plan of these two dis tinguished leaders tocircumvent the democrats is to organize a new parly next year on a platform against tho lease and in favor of its annulment. and against trusts and monopolies generally, and especially in favor of the reduction of passenger fares and freight rates. Next year being an "oft year" in politics, Russell and Butler believe that they can concentrate the atten tion of the peop'e on these home matters and thai they can win. If they can do this there will be no futherneedof cooperation between Republicans and Populists, because the new party will control the State, and the fear of a return of the Dem ocrats to power will be a thing of the past. In furtberanceof thislineof policy it it is openly charged that Senator Butler.Gov. Russell, Judge Walter Clark, of the Supreme Court, and ex-Judge A. C. Avery, of the Su preme Court, had a long conference at the Governor's Mansion, and the various steps to be taken in order to prepare the people for the advent of the new candidates for political favor were then discussed and de cided upon . It was agreed that the fight on the lease should be pressed, and that the taking of testimony tending to prove fraud in the mak ing of the lease should be vigorously proceeded with by Gov, Russell. Russell and Butler before this had made strenuous efforts to have the Railroad Commissioners reduce pas senger fares and freight rates, and the commission had refused. About this time it was published that Mes srs. J. W. and S. Otho Wilson, two of the Railroad Commissioners, had become disqualified !o act as such, because of their connection and ownership of the Round Knob Hotel. The sponsors of the new party saw at once that another splendid opportunity had presented itself to keep the fight on the lease, and cor porations arid monopolies generally, before the people, and todivert their minds "from the white line issue," by removing the two Wilsons from their offices as railroad commission ers. Notice was at once served on them, and in due time Gov, Russell issued an order suspending them from office and appointing John H Pearson, of Burke countv, demo crat, to succeed S Otho Wilson, and L C Caldwell, of Iredell county, populist, to succeed J W Wilson. The Wilsons have refused to sur render their offices, and suits have been brought to test the question. Right here the complexion of the supreme court becomes an important factor in connection with these suits. Chief Justice Falrcloth, Judge Fur ches, aiid Judge Douglas are repub licans; Judge Clark is a democrat with populist tendencies, and Judge Montgomery is a populist "of the straightest sect." It is accepted that Faircloth and Furcbes will be against the power of the governor to remove that Clark and Mont gomery will 'je in favor of the power of ihe governor to remove, and that Judge Douglas is the doubtful and deciding member of the court. It is well known that Judge Rob ert P. Diek, of the United States court for the Western district of this State, cannot remain much longer on the bench, because of old age and physical infirmity. Judge Robert M, Douglas is his son-in-law, and Judge Dick is very anxious that Judge Douglas shall have the appointment, and it is known that Judge Dick will retire any time that he can have assurance from Presi dent McKinley that his son-in-law will be appointed to the vacancy. It is well understood that Senator J C Pritchard will dominate Ibis ap pointment, just as be did that for the Eastern district of this State. It is well known that Governor Russel intends to renew the fight for the reduction of passenger fares and freight rates if the Supreme court scats Pearson and Caldwell on the railroad commission. It is certain in this view that Judge Dick will not be permitted to retire before a decision of the Supreme court is ren dered in the commissioners' cases, and Judge Douglas appointed to fill the vacancy, because that would give Governor Russell an opportu nity to appoint some friend on th Supreme court bench to succeed Douglas The next move of Russell will be to obtain control of the Republican State committee. Mr. A. E. Holton, the present chairman, has recently been appointed United States Dis trict Attorney, and the retention of the chairmanship mikes him hold two offices, as theelection law makes the chairman of each State committee a high and responsible officer. The constitution of North Carolina for bids any citizen who holds an office under the State government from ho'ding at tbc same time an office under the United States. It is said that Governor Russell intends to force Holton to resign the chairman ship, and that the friends of Russell on the committee will elect a chair man who is a friend of Russell. Commissioner S. Oiho Wilson lias commenced the publication of a weekly newspaper known as the Haysecdcr, and is attacking Russell and Buller, both politically and per sonally, and proposes to tell ail he knows about both of them. Wilson is trying to gather around him such disappointed populistsleadcrs as ex Congressman ' Buck" Kitchen, ex J udge Spier Whitaker, Congressman Harry Skinner, Rev. Mr. Babb, and all the populist members of the leg islature, who bolted and voted for Pritchard, for the purpose of de stroying Butler in his own party. It is also asserted that Senator Pritchard desires to be chairman of the state committee, inasmuch as Senator ljuay, of Pennsylvania, was for a long time chairman of the re publican committee of that state. Governor Russell is a man of un rest. If he serves out his term of four years, he will keep tho state in a ferment and prevent politics aud politicians from falling into "inno cuous desuetude." But there is talk that Gov. Russell will not be allowed to serve out his term. His enemies among the populists and republi cans declare, with the aid of the democrats, they intend to impeach the governor through the legislature to tie elected next year and remove him from office and put a judgment on him that will forever prevent him from holding another office under the state government.

'ANOTHER RATE WAR The Seaboard Air Line Soon to Begin a Fight. DIFFERENTIAL SHEET Prepared and Issued---The Circular Set ting Forth the (Grounds ol Action MO Kate to At anta Georgia. It is said that, the Seaboard Air Line and Southern railway ci m panies will in the next ten days begin a rate war that will surpass anything of the kind that has been known for years. Both companies are in good shape, and the public will have an inning that they will no doubt enjoy . The Seaboard Air Line has ar ranged a differential passenger tariff to become effective Oct. 2.'), which will effect quite a reduction in the present passenger rate to Atlanta and the South. The fare to Atlanta will be $10, and there will be a re duction for all intermediate points. Tne Piikss-Visitor obtained today the following information from a Seaboard clicial, which was em bodied in a circular issued by the Vice-President. Mr. St. John: During the past three or four years the Seaboard Air Line has made many and frequent etl'orts to secure for itself and the public the same through sleeping ca1- service enjoy ed by its competitors (to say noth ing ol their solid train service), be tween New York and At'anta, (loorgia, and New York and New Orleans, Louisana, but request for such equal facilities, between those points has, in every instance, been met with a declination by counec tions, who have given as a cause for such refusal, first one reason, and then another, a majority of which bus been, to an extent, unsatisfac tory. Oue of the representatives to whom our application wasaddressed may be assumed to have given an honest reason for his decliuation, when he stated, as he did. us fol lows: "1 have frequently told you, both over my signature and in jersonal conference, that 1 did not think it policy for this line to disturb the re lations which now exist between its line and the Southern railway, by hauling a car for your line, etc. " In another communication, we pleaded with this same ollicial a sec ond time, endeavoring to show the injustice of the position occupied by bis company, and in reply he states that he "is not in a position to recom mend the operation of any through cars that will disturb the relation ship now existing between his line and the Southern railway." Oiher letters containing extracts of similar purport are on file, indi epting the helplessness of our con nections to accord the Seaboard Air Line, and its pat rons, that considera tion to which its importance as a through line would justly entitle it; and, with a desire to present to your self and the public the positiou we are forced to occupy, by reason thereof, we present the following by way of comparison: Distance, New York to New Or leans, via Seaboard Air Line 1,-140 miles; time 45 hours and 4." minutes; change of cars 'J. Distance, New York to New Or leans via Southern railway, 1,1571 miles: time, 40 hours and 10 minu tes; change of cars, (t. Distance, New York to Atlanta via Seaboard Air Line, 045 miles; time, 2S hours and 55 minutes: change of ears, 1. Distance, New York to Atlanta via Southern tuilwuy, K7li miles; time, 24 hours and 25 minutes: change of cars, 0. Distance, Atlanta to New York via Seaboard Air Line, 045 miles; time, 20 hours and 2.'! minutes; change of cars, 1. Distance, Atlanta to New York via Southern railway, S7(i miles; time, 2'1 hours and 4:1 minutes; change of cars, 0. The Seaboard Air Line, therefore, and in view of such continued dis crimination against its interests, and the interests of its patrons, has de termined for the purpose of equaliz ing, to an extent, the disadvantages under which it operates its fast mail and express trains, adopt similar ac tion to that taken by trunk lines be tween New York and Chicago, St. Liuis, Cincinnati and other cities; w!hich action is recognized by the trunk line association as being proper and right, where disadvant- agesexist; and will therefore, estaf lish Oct. 25 the rates named )a its differential rate tariffs, forwarded herewith, which rates we most re- ; l spectfully ask you to adopt and in clude in your tariffs (published or -v otherwise), making same effect! v on date named above.
