Trust Company, with paid up capital of $120.hjO, has failed. The Trigff shipbuilding plant at Richmond was bid in for the bond holders at $368,000. Field Marshal Lord Roberts has created a sensation by declaring that the' British militia is unfit for war. The cotton manufacturers ask to be allowed to be present when the August cotton report is being made up. Secretary of Navy Bonaparte has returned railroad passes and says lie cannot avail himself of such consid eration. Cotton is doing well in the Caro linas and tobacco is promising; boll weevils are playing havoc with cot ton in Texas. President Harvie Jordan and Sec retary Cheatham have gone to Oyster Bay to see President Roosevelt about the cotton leak. Another mutiny of the Black Sea fleet is imminent ; Russia is vigorous ly demanding of Roumania the mu tinous crew of the battleship Kniaz Potemkine. The papers in the cotton leak in vestigation have been placed in the hands of the Acting Attorney-General at Washington and he will probe the scandal. A Japanese squadron has bombard ed and taken Cape Notovo-Sakhalin Island, and at Korsakovsk, the chief city of the island, the Japanese have already landed 12,000 troops. The first news the Russian army had of the mutiny in the Black Sea squadron was sent to them by the Japanese who placed proclamations in shells and fired them over to the enemy. Weyman Bros. Tobacco Company, one of the largest independent manu factures, has sold out to the Ameri can Tobacco Company. It took be tween $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 to make the transfer. Major-General Count Shouvaloff, perfect of police at Moscow, Russia, and formerly attached to the minis try of the interior, was assassinated Tuesday morning while receiving pe titions. The Portland, Oregon, Chamber of Commerce, in view of the . Chinese boycott, unres President Roosevelt to see that decent treatment is accorded to Chinamen visiting the United States and recommends the admission of a number of Chinese immigrants. Russia is insisting that Roumania sum nder the mutineers from the battleship Kniaz Potemkine, claiming bat ihoy are murderers and robbed the ship of several hundred thousand roubles; before leaving the ship the crew !( iu d her cocks and sank her. The Kniaz Potemkine which has a, WLCK 01 more been the terror of the Black Sea, has at last been elimi nated as a source of apprehension, yn last Saturday the vessel steamed mto the port of Kustenji, Roumania, and expressed a desire to surrender as foreigners to a foreign power.-As a guarantee of good faith during the cpnierence, the Roumanian authori ses demanded the breech blocks of e -mis during the conference. Af ter some parley it was agreed that o mutineers would be allowed to surrender and that they would be fcen sale conduct to such frontier a they might choose. The grand jurv at Milwaukee, Wis., Tuesday, returned sixty-seven indict ments against twenty-five individu als, most of whom are former county officials. Thirty-eight similar indict ments had previously been returned and more will follow. Most of the indictments charge bribery in con nection with county contracts. Hon. John H. Mitchell who, with the exception of one interval of six years, has represented Oregon in the United States Senate since 1872, was convicted in the United States Court at Portland, Ore., last week of prac ticing before a department of the government for compensation while occupying the- position of Senator, which is a violation of the law. Sen ator Mitchell is also believed to be implicated in enormous land frauds which have recently developed in the West. Statesville Landmark: Caleb Pow ers, former Secretary of State of Kentucky, who has been tried four times for the murder of Governor Goebel, and i3 now under sentence of death, is to have a hearing in the Federal Court. Somebody is guilty of Gobel's murder and somebody ought to hang for it, but we have always seriously doubted whether any of the prominent Republican officials charged with his murder could get equal and exact justice in the State courts ; and so it is just as well, prob ably, that Powers is to have a chance in the Federal courts.
