The Department asked the Navy Department to dispatch a com pany of marines to Peking, for that is the quickest way of complying with Mr. Calhoun's requeBt. The Navy Department promptly di rected Admiral Murdock, commanding the American naval forces in the East, and sent a company of murines from the cruiser Saratogo to Shanghai. From there they will go by rail to Peking. The State Department declares that if a large force of troops ia despatched from Manila to China it will not be to intervene between the Imperialists and the rebels. The troops will be landed under the terms of the treaty with Chi na, promu'gated after the Boxer, trou b!eainl90l.

At the tut break of tne revolution in China the State Department asked th War De oartment to hold troops in readiness to move to Cbina at once. The War De partment replied that there was a force of 18,000 men in the Philippines ard that 12,000 of them were, available for duty hvChlna.

At the Craven County Teachers As sociation monthly meeting, held here on last Saturday Dc 2nd, the following paper "on Teachering Agriculture was read by Miss Clarice Smith of Thur man; 1 fear the committee has made a mis take in selecting me to discuss this sub ject. However I can only give my own iilets. In teaching rural schoals, you come in contact with the class that think education along this line is un necessary. 1 think it most important to interest if possible. Perhaps I should say the hardest to Interest New York, Dec. 2. Cotton has fall en below the nine cent level owing to the increasing pressure from the South to sell. Of course, there has also been more or less telling for short account, but this has been limited ta a small number of operators. Spot markets in aeveral cases have declined under the wt ight of a liberal crop movement and a tendency to increase the size of the estimates of the crop. The New Or- tears Times-Democrat put it at 14,835,- 000 bales exclusive of linters, and re packs. Some have figured that this real ly means an estimate of something like ir,30(),000 bales. A Texas estimate was as high as 15,815,000 bales. The aver age estimate of 183 members of the New York cotton exchange was 15,238,- 000 bales. December notices amounted to at least 30,000 bales and being larger than expected, a more or less depress ing effect. New low levels of prices have been large. Following the decline in raw cotton, the trade in c'btton gjods is said to have slackened somewhat and a large Chicago house is said to have made a downward revision of domes tics. Northern spinners' takings con tinue to run considerably behind those of last year. Rumors are in circulation to the effect that the next National Ginners' Association's report will show a large total. Manchester has been quiet. The spot sales in Liverpool have been small, Wall Street and Waldorf- Astoria interests havesjld to some ex tent. There is talk to the effect that, a superabundance of low grades exists in the present crop, and that this i a weak feature. On the other hand, the continent is buying freely in Liverpool and is taking considerable quantities of the next crop montns nere, particularly October, but also September as well as July and August. October is in such a demand that it has been selling at 12 points over July, whereas in recent years July has sold at 200 points over October. August has been Ave points over July as against 20 points under Ju ly a year ago. These premiums on August and Octo ber at this time of the year are most unusual and reflect the urgency of the demand for these far off months, Al ready it is believed that the continent has taken several hundred thousand bales of the next crop months. The sales of print cloth and convertible last week reached the big total of 15,000, 000 pieces, or more, Many think that the crop is being overestimated and that the censm report on the ginning on December 8th and the Bureau of Ag riculture estimate of the crop on Dec. 11th will tend to make this clear. The recent cold weather is believed to have Secretary .of Navy Wants It Un derstood. Government De ficit Grows. Washington, Dec. 2-Witha plea that there sball be no decrease in tbe effec tive strength of the United States navy George von L. Meyer, Secretary of the Navy in his annual report to Congress, declares that while seeking peace and playing a leading part in the movement for general arbitration treaties the world must understand that - America "ia prepared for war. " The short life of a warship for first or second line of defense approximately twenty years has caused the Secretary to ask more ships this year, not to increase the navy, but to maintain it at. its existing strength. This strength, he says, is being diminished by the elimination from active service of the battleships first constructed for the "new navy.' The deficit of the Federal Govern ment continues to grow. Up to date the disbursements of the current fiscal year have exceeded the receipts by $20,641,000 whiles month go the deficit was (20,181,000. The government col lected during November $56,589,00(1 and expended a total of $57,050,000. The receipts for the previous month were $56,054,000 and the disbursements $60,-188,000.

GUILTY IS PLEA OF Mill Sensational End of Trial of Noted Union Labor Leaders Sen tences Next Tuesday, - Los. Angeles, Dec 2-James B. Me Namara pleaded guilty ' to murder in tbe first degree in Judge Walter Bord well's court yesterday, His brother . . John J. McNamara, secretary of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, entered a plea of guilty to having dynamited the Llewllyn Iron Works in Los Angeles on Christmas day. 1910. John r B. McNamara's confession clears up absolutely the tragedy of the , , explosion and fire which at 1;07 o'clock : on the morning, of October , 1st 1910, . wrecked the plant of the Los Angeles Times, at First and Broadway, and caused the death of twenty-one per sons. For 19 of these deaths the Mc Namara brothers were indicted and J. , B. McNamara was on ti.'M specifically for the murder of Charles J. Hagger ty, a machinist., whose body was found nearer than that of any other to the spot where the dynamite was supposed to have been placed. Both men's sentences were set for December 5th, when it is expected Dis trict Attorney John D. Fredericks will , ask for life imprisonment for James B McNamara, the confessed murderer, and probably fourteen years for his brother, The men's lives are consider' ed saved. The great contention that -the Los Angeles Times was not dyna mited is dead beyond resurrection or agreement- '.; :i' ;' In less than twenty minutes, the big . ease was disposed of, but for hours previously there had be?n a feeling that something startling would develop, and so closely guarded was the infor mation that the spectators were pre pared for almost anything except the thing presented, It was not thought that, after the vigorous battle waged thus far, one side would lay down Its arms so willingly, so freely and even so happil-for both' prisoners smiled chewed gam and appeared as they have ; on other days confidently unconcerned. Even the District Attorney was not sure until just before noon that the end was in sight. . : , It was James B, McNamara who had balked at entering into an arrangement to plead guilty if it might affect his brother. ' : He was willing to sacrifice himself, but he wanted his brother to go free. The attorneys however, con vinced him that the better course was for both to plead guilty and take their chances on a merciful sentence. . Word that John B. McNsmara was coming caused the first ripple of excite" ment. He had not visited the court room aince October 11th, when tho trials were begun and the case of the McNamaras was severed. When he entered If waa generally realized that case had reached a climax, , , - The bailiff rapped louder than usual when Judge Walter Bordwell mounted the bench. Instant silence followed. "The People versus McNamara," re marked the court and Attorney Le Coropte Davis, of the defense arose. ; "In this cise," he declared, "aftf r long consideration we have concluded to withdraw the plea of not guilty and tbe like course we Intend to pursue with reference to J.
