Washington, D. C, Oct. 27.
A member of the Cabinet said
tonight that there would be no
Federal troops sent to North
Carolina, unless an actual out
break occurred, resulting in
murderous assaults of the bas
est kind.
He said that the government
could not afford to take sides in
the matter, and frankly admit
ted that such was the desire of
one who had suggested the ad
visability of sending the troops
into the State.
It is the opinion here that
should troops be sent, to North
Carolina at this time it would
result in exactly what the
white people wisli, an undivid
ed vote of the white race . An
omcial stated that the state
ment that if troops were order
ed to the State, they would be
sent from Atlanta, was leally
a vagary of a reporter, as there
are now no regulars atAtlanta,
and only regulars could be
sent.
Requests for troops, no mat
ter by whom made, I am offi-
Icially informed, must in this
case come from men of more
than one party, and everi the
Governor's request would be
held up for investigation.

London, Oct. 27. A rumor was
current this morning that Pres
ident Faure had been assassina

ously cabled air over the world
as a rumor, in a few hours it
was definitely denied. Paris
advices say that the rumor ere
ated a panic when it was first
reported.
Paris, Oct. 27.--Nothing de

telling great ghost stories here
to the effect that the Governor's
life has been threatened, and
that a race riot is imminent in
North Carolina.
Even Republicans say that
such old chestnuts from the
South just before election have,
played out. Pritchard is not
taken seriously, and his talk is
recognized as the dying gasp of
a politician who is getting
ready an excuse for the defeat
ot his party.

Full Box, Light Grey, Thebet Cloth, to which we call
your attention with pride. Value and correctness are
the main features of this Coat. Other merchants can
boast of their perfect fitting garments, with silk linings
strapped seams, hand-worked button holes, French
facings, etc. A'lowing all these points to be true, we
still maintain the superiority of our garment. It has
every essential to a first-class Overcoat, and must be
seen to be fully appreciated.

This Overcoat, if it were the only one we could show
