The account were so incorrectly made out that the government refused to pay them uutil they were iu pioper shape. The prospect for the establishment of an Army Post here grows fainter. There has never been enough acliug in concert of the citizens. Kayetteville now comes forward with a request that the Post be established there. Clerk Brown of the Railroad commis sion Is now busy on the next annual re port of the commission, which is to be Issued early in January, 189!). No opinions were handed down by the Supreme court yesterday. Tuesday is always the day opinions are handed down, but they arc never handed down until about the third week after the ouit convenes.

Cowles of the 1st Regiment, w ho is lo resign and go into the regular army. The tents at the 2nd Regiment camp here are being Moored. Why this is being done when It Is believed that in less than a month the re?lment will be mustered out of service is not understood. The National Farmers' Alliance organ, which is published here, comes out for fusion and bitterly denounces the Demo crats. Ii has made a shallow pretense of lieing neutral. The Populists In North Carolina were created by the Farmers' Alliance, and this took the State from Democratic rule. The Alliance has now but a few thousand members, w here six years ago It had 100,000. Governor Russell, after long ostraci.-m by the Republican leaders, Is again being taken in their counsels. Reports from the eastern part of the State say that the peanut crop Is consid erably below the average this year. The vines are luxuriant but tho nuts are short in uantity. Tli Lnuutblar.

One hundred regular troopa, under Brigadier General Bacon, had a sharp battle today on Leech lake, with several hundred Pill urer Indians. It is reported that four soldiers were killed and nine wounded. The loss among the Indians is not known. Late tonight tin unconfirmed rumor reached St. Paul and this city that Gen J eral Bacon and all of his men had been massacred. A telegraph operator at Braiuerd, not lar from the Indian toun trv, asserts that the story Is true. The Pillager Indians arc a branch of the Chippewa or Ojlbway family, which is scattered over several Northwestern States and portions of Canada. Leech lake, around which thoir reservation is located, is iu Cass county, iu Northern Minnesota, and is one of the bodies of water oaattiWrttng to form the Missis sippi river. Other Indian reservations are in the vicinity. Today's attack recalled to many old residents the noted ouibreaks of Sioux Indians in Minnesota during the civil war, which weie finally suppressed by Gen. John Pope, after 70(1 white persons hid been murdered, 200 taken captives, mostly women, eighteen counties rav aged, 30,000 persons rendered homeless aad $3,000,000 of property destroyed. St. Paul. October 11. A correspond ent of Tho Globe telegraphs today that tho attack of the Indians, in which they ambushed, trapped and annilated the command of Gen. Bacon, was more cow ardly than at lirst reported. The Indians soon pietcmleil to be friendly to the soldiers. The soliliere had unloaded ami uv.e n.

Raleigh, N, C, October B. ) Major Wilder of the 2ud North Caro lina regiment has been recommended by Major General Miles as colonel of the First Regiment of immunes lo succeed Colonel Richie. The State yesterday got $900 from the government as part of the claim for money spent in mobilizing the State troops. When returning from an excursion to Norfolk yesterday, a son of J. C. L. Har ris had some trouble with a drunken ne. gro on the train and the negro cut young Harris. The wound had to be sewed up by a physician. This trouble with the negro is getting home to J C. L. Harris who is one of the few backers of the present administration A Confederate Tea is to be held to morrow here under the management of 12 young ladies to raise money to help purchase fuel for the Soldiers Home There is no doubt but what it will be lib erally patronized. Raleigh is such a marrying town that a grocery man near the Union depot is said to have raised a splendid lot of chickens on the rice that is showered on the brides. Wonder if ho charges more for them than the other kind. The Second regiment w ill probably be paid oil' this week for September. Those men who are not here will have their money held for them by the commanding ollicers. The furloughed men are return ing to camp tiiite rapidly. The Good Shepherd congregation have given orders for work to begin on 1 lie new church to be built by this congrcga linn. The church anil trimmings will be all of Salisbury Granite which Is very like the granite in the Confederate mon ument here. The interior will be of yel lowish brick with while marble pillows and is to cost not less than $20,000 nor more than $2.r),000. It will be in the form of a cross. Dr. Pettinger, the rector last year brought Ihe comer stone from Jer usalem. There 210 students at the Agricultural and Mechanical college here, which goes over the number of last year. Today two ex Confederate soldiers began to compile from records of the civil war the history of the North Caro lina troops in that war. The work will be sold for the benefit of the Soldiers' Home. Cotton is opening so rapidly that pickers enough cannot be had to keep il picked out.

W ash i Nt.Tt n , Oct. 4 The War In vestigating Commission began taking f testimony lodsy and Major-General Jos eph Wheeler was on tbeetand the greater part of the day. General Wheeler's testimony covered the case of the soldiers at the two important points of Santiago and Wikoff. He said with reference to the conduct of affairs at Santiago, that there had necessarily been some suffering in the trenches, but that General Shsfter had exercised the utmost effort to protect his men. There had been, he said, a shortage of land transportation facilities for a time, and there had been no tents for a week, and Ihe roads were very fair. Discussing the plan of the Santiago campaign, he said he doubted wkflthcr a more effective plan coirfd liare ftuen adopted. Speaking of the medical department, he said that at times there were com plaints, but that they were not serious, On occasions there was a shortage of surgeons, some of the surgeons being sick or wounded. According to General Wheeler's belief the wounded in battle were promptly cared for by the surgeons. After the tight of duly 1st, all the wounded were carried from Ihe field that night. The witness hail heard that there was more complaint of the shortage of medicine among the infantry than in the cavalry arm of the service. Going back to Tampa he said that at the season he was there, the lirst half of June the site was without objection bul he had felt that it would be wet later in I he season. "There was," lie said, "at times a shortage of supplies at the camp." "But nothing," he added, "lliat a soldier could complain of." General Wheeler said he had no con trol over any of the supplies which were taken to Santiago on the transports when he left Tampa. This was attended to by different staff ollicers. He only knew from conversation with these that there was an abundance of the supplies of all character. There was suffering when 1 lie men were compelled to lie on the breast works. Meat was poor ami they had no bread but hardtack, They were forced lo lie in the sun and water alternately, anil necessarily there was much sickness While they had the full quota of doctors and nurses, he thought if more had been furnished the men would have been bet ter cared for. As for rations, three days supplies were generally issued. Whenever the troops went into action Ihcy would throw their food away, as well as their packs, and I hey often did not recover them. Vet he had no personal knowledge on this point, lie had seen some wounded men crawling to the rear in the engage ments, but as a rule after a man fell in battle he was carried to the hospital by the medical corps, He said that as a rule the quality of the hardtack was flood Where there was any deterioration il was due to local rains and not to the fact of original inferiority. The spirit of the army was such, lie said, that there was no disposition to complain. They were all proud to be there and w illing to undergo i In- hard ships. Captain Howell asked lo what he at tributed the development of tliseu-e after the capitulation of Santiago and ' o in ral Wheeler replied that il was due to the climate and to the exposure made lo res sry. He had, he said, known of no in stance of a sick or wounded man dying from want of care In the physician- So far as he knew there was general com mendallon of the medical corps, except that on one or two occasions there had been some grumbling in regard lo the general conditions. Referring to thti sleeping apartments ou the transports, General Wheeler mil they weru quite warm and there wan some discomfort. Ho had often gone down among the men at night and found that there was comparatively little dis comfiture, except from the heal. Com ing from Santiago to Montsttk he hud sailed on the Miami, having chosen it be cause it was aali) to bo the wornt lb found It viy comfortable, and when he Undid there weto only thirty four aick and only three or fuur of ihono were too ill lo slanil up for Inspection Tbete tn plenty of water on the veaiel and a auftlcluncy of Ice for the sick. The army was more abundantly anpplied than any amy In the field had er boon. Aakeil If be thought there had ber any neglect Id preparing the campaign, be replied that be bail been ao busy that be bad not glrrn ihe mailer any great attention, bul be hail not thought that tbere bed bean any neglect. He aald tbal some tents bad been left on tbe traospo't and aald ihla had been don because there waa no lime lo re move tbem, "and be felt thai prompt disembarkation and a apeedy movement to tba front would compass mora tbaa anything else could d).
