(By WILLIAM HOSTER.) Natchez, Miss., Oct. 29 On board the flagship Oleander, presidential fleet. President Taft arrived at 9:45 o'clock this morning, still two hours and three-quarters behind his sched ule. Admiral Tillman's carefully ar ranged plans again went wrong last night and the Oleander was delayed a full two hours getting out of Vicks- Dllrg through the clogging of the canal by the other steamers in the fleet. Though Tillman had issued an order against other steamers but the Oleander' entering the canal, six of them crowded in after the flagship, making, when it came time for the Oleander to leave, what is Postraas- ter General Hitchcock described as a narfonl VJontio cm iviQariina' Trior TFIA made jfeeble: effort to secure good coaX an(1 fainng ahe. was. unable to develop her maximum speed during the n'ght.

The Wells beat all the trailers info Vicksburg last night and i under the rules was entitled to clear! second to the Oleander. But the Al-! followed. 'Finally, along about 3 o'clock this morning, when the maneuvering of the boats began to bring them dan gerously close to the Oleander, Ad miral Tillman was called, and he or dered the Alton back to third place.

(By Cable to The Times) Athens, Oct. 29 Revolt has broken out in the Greek navy, and 300 men, led by Lieutenant Typaldo, today seized the arsenal on Salamis, an island ten miles east of here, when Typaldo learned that the mili tary league had promised to surren der' him to the government as a traitor. Troops were sent toward Salamis immediately on receipt ot the news ot the character of the revolt which was followed with the report of the seizure of Leros. an Islet, by the mu t - inAnwa navy minfeterwlth powerto rdorgftn- ize'the navy list. His demands were refused. He was formerly In charge 0f the government torpedo station, The capture of the arsenal today was consummated without resistance from. the troops. The navy deparfc- ment's building in Athens is under a heavy guard and the city is seething with excitement, The Greek fleet is off Keratsini, a port of Salamis on that side of the island opposite the arsenal. movement, to a man. The crisis has hitherto been con fined to the army, but in the last few days has spread with remarkable rapidity in the other branch of the nation's defensive service. The malcontents In the navy were supported by the military league but the king today brought all possible pressure to bear to disrupt the mu tinous factions. The rebel officers had given the government until Wednesday to yield to their demands, which Included the suspension of promotion for five years and the abolition of several high offices in the marine ministry. The first of these demands has lost them the help of the younger officers and may prove fatal to the movement I if the government troops fail to quell the mutineers. The present move Is but a part of the plan to force the abdication of King George. The first move in this campaign, which has been fostered by the military from the first, was the demand for the ousting of the crown prince as commander in chief. This was finally granted after part of the army had revolted. The situation has been acute for some time, but the navy revolt brings popular sympathy Is with the mal- contents, and it is feared that a gen eral uprisings will follow. The fight for the abdication of the king has gone so far that the Duke of the AbruzzI has already been sug gested as his successor. It was rumored today that Great Britain .France, Russia, Italy and Turkey have intimated to the mili tary league that any attempt to over throw the nresent dvnastv will meet with repressive measures by their combined forces.

(Special to The Times.) Durham, H C, Oct. 29 In the city court this morning City 'Attorney R. O. Everett, the prosecuting officer of that court, was unable to conduct one case owing to t.ho fact that ho was co-defendant in a fight with Ar ley M. Moore, a lawyer ot this city. The scrap occurred Yesterday , is a magistrate's court - A suit brought by Mr. Everett for Will E. Thomp son, of HillBboro, against Mr. Moore, was the cause Of the tronblo. That action was to 'secure Judgment of SS5 on the possession of a buggy which Mr. Moore had bought without know ing that there had been a mortgage) on it r. j-vf ' ". . 'Mr. Moore had a fight last week over the same matter and in the same court, Justice R. C.

Again Mr. Moore called him a liar and they went together. The city so licitor's face was slightly scratched and the opposing counsel received some jolts about the head while it was being held and pommeled by the city attorney, but. he was not hurt and neither received damage. Yes terday afternoon they appeared be fore Justice Cox's court and the jus- 1 tice exonerated the city attorney Mr. Moore again objected and asked for several days in which to present his affidavits. There was no contest this morn ing, both lawyers admitting their af fray and settling up. There appears to be no feeling between the two and the case will probably end without further trouble. The final rally of the baseball fans will be held tonight in the Elks Club room for the purpose ot determining whether Durham is to make a bid for professional ball next spring, or not The first meeting of the cranks ap pears to have exhausted Durham's capacity for enthusiasm, albeit there have been raised nearly $1,000 since that time. It was made the sense of the association that there would be no offer to enter the, league unless there could be found 12,250 as a starter ,and it was. desired that there be more. Barely 12,000 has been raised by promise and V as the en trance fee, better known as forfeit money, may be f 1,000, it's necessity for having big funds le manifest The Charlotte meeting Is Novem ber 2d. Two situations may confront the Carolina Association: There may be no bid from Winstoh-Salem, or there may be pne front every town no win that circuit with an additional one from Raleigh. In that event, it would be certain that, Durham would be wanted. As the matter Is, there fore, Durham's chance for making; the league are excellent and the mon ey is the only bar. TJnless the money is raised tonight the chances are largely against the league next year. In fact, it is doubtful whether there will be another effort , made as the Carolina Association has its meeting next week. The call is made by President Carr for 8:88 tonight and request is made that those who wish t to contribute, write if they cannot come In person.
