THE PRESIDENT AT MONTAUK.
By Tf.lcgraph to the Times-Visitor.
CAMP WICKOFF, Sept. 3. Presi
dent McKinley, Secretary of War Al
ger and party arrived here this morn
ing and began the inspection of the
camp immediately after breakfast. The
camp looks better than it previously
has, as all unsightly objects have been
removed, The President will leave this
evening in time to go to Patterson,
N. J., where he will spend Sunday with
Vive-President Hobart. The ladies ac
companying the party will take their
departure earlier in the day.
There was a large otrowd at the sta
tion when the President arrived. The
party seemed much fatigued. Three
troops of the Third regular cavalcr,
one of the Sixth regular cavalry were
drawn up as an escort. When the -train
arrived a salute of twenty-one guns
were fired. The platform was cleared
of all except the military men so the
party reached the carnages without
any difficulty. General Wheeler, Gen
eral Amos of First Division, General
Chaffee of the Second, General Bates
of the provisional division. Lieutenant
Colonel Miner, General Pierson and
Captain Smith were present and re
ceived the President. Major Ledo act
ed as aid to the President, Captain
Marten to Alger. The President and
Secretary Alger entered the first car
riage, and on seeing Roosevelt at the
head of the cavalry nearby, because of
the accident to General Young, the
President alighted and went to him,
greeting him most cordially and then
the r?avalry saluted. A mounted band
played "Hail to the Chief." The cav
alry fell behind the Presidents car
riage, and immediately preceeding the
on. containing Vice-President Hobart
and Secretary Griggs. Secretary Por
ter and wife and two fntnds followed
In another carriage. Another carriage
contained Quartermaster General Lud
lngton and Commissary General Ae
gan. The party first visited Gen. Wheeler's
headquarters, then to the detention
camp to meet Gen. Shafter. After
wards they made a tour of the general
hospital and then to the infantry plains.
Later they inspected the quarters of the
cavalry regiments, while hundreds of
people viewed the procession. Several
enthsuastic privates ran out on the
road as the President's carriage reach
ed them shouting, ."Hurrah for the
President," and waving their hats. The
crowd cheered themselves hoarse. Eve
rybody seemed filled with enthusiasm.
The sight of Roosevelt at the head of
the cavalry also called forth great ap
plause. General Wheeler is .still in
practical command. Gen. Shafter hav
ing requested him to continue owing
to the latter not feeling equal to the
work yet. Gen. Shafter will probably
leave the detention camp tomorrow.
The Presidential party will probably
leave at two o'clcok this afternoon.

Special to The Times-Visitor.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3. At 4 o'clock
this afternoon . orders for the Second
Regiment to be mustered out were re
voked and the First Regiment was or
dered out of service. The Second and
Third are to remain permanently in the
service until some further action is
taken. This is done at the request of
Governor Russell. The First regiment
is ordered to piuce.-d to Raleigh as soon
as convenient. The War Department
officials agreed to act as the Governor
requested, but think he has acted un
unwisely in having the poorest repre
sentatives of the State kept in service
and the regiment with good record
mustered out.

MR HARRIS BACK

Commandant at ihe A. &
M. College
Mr. J. C. L. Harris returned from
Washington City this morning, where
he carried the accounts of the State
incident to the mobolization of troops
in Raleigh. Mr. Harris savs that he
succeeded in having the accounts from
this State placed second on the list, the
Ohio accounts being first. They will
probably be paid in about ten days if
they are all in proper shape.
Mr. Harris was asked who would he
mmandant of the A. and M. College.
He said it was Impossible to get an
army officer now. The government re
fused to send ("apt. Gresham back.
However, the navv department was
petitioned to send Lieut. Henderson.
md he may be the man. He was de
tailed here once before.
CONFESSED THE KILLING.
By Telegraph to The Times-Visitor.
STT 'RENVILLE, OHIO. Sept. 3. Jno.
C. Dubbs, aged seventeen, confessed
today to having killed little Mary Wes
ley, whose body was found In the woods
Saturday. He threw the fatal stone
at her because she wouldn't stop when
he called her.
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
For Raleigh and vicinity fair and
warm tonight and Sunday.
The barometer is highest over the
southeast section of the country and
is low throughout the north from Bos
ton to Bismarck. The lowest is 29.44
inches at Bismarck. These conditions
favor a very general movement of air
over the T'nited States from south to
north and explains the high tempera
tures prevailing everywhere.
Light rains occurrred at southern
points and it is raining at Atlanta this
morning, with a total of 1.0S inches at
8 a. m.: Knoxville reports very heavy
rain, 4.38 Inches. But over most of the
country fair and very warm weather
prevails. A decided fall in temperature
occurred on the Rocky mountain slope.
At North Platte the maximum yester
day was 98. this morning the tempera
ture is 64 degrees.
A BOY WANTED.
See Chas. E. Blaner's big extrava
ganza, "A Boy Wanted," at the Acad
emy Tuesday, September 6, and have a
long evening's laugh of three hours
that is the general verdict. It is the
best ever produced by Mr. Blaney and
his successes have been very numerous
the past five years. Why? Because he
has only the best comedians, prettiest
girls, sweetest singers, finest dancers,
and high class vaudvllle artists. His
plays always have a grand production,
consequently are always well patron
ized; and they have become a theatri
cal event in all cities In which his at
tractions play, and "A Boy Wanted" is
the funniest of 'em all.

WHEELER'S GREATEST FIGHT.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who fought the
Spanish so well at Santiago, says the
Philadelphia Record, has begun to fight
Malaria, Typhoid, Incompetency and
Death at Camp Wikoff. Wheeler may
win because he has a way of winning;
but he will have to drive a harder
battle at Montauk than he put up in
Cuba. He may thrash Malaria, he may
choke of Typhoid, he may scare Death
away but where is the man who shall
sweep Incompetency from the field?
FORWARDED TO WILMINGTON.
The body of Joe Cook, the colored
North Carolina excursionist, who was
drowned here Tuesday night in trying
to catch the ferry boat, wtch was found
in the river yesterday, was embalmed
and this morning forwarded By South
era express to Wilmington for inter
ment. Friends of the deceased in Wil
mington last evening sent 150 by tele

Influence,
Special Staff Correspondence.
Washington, D. C. Sept. ".A prom
inent War Department official, in the
course of an interview on the muster
ing out of certain volunteer regiments
today, got his tongue slightly twisted
and referred to the volunteers as Ho
boes instead of Heroes. The official
realizing his mistake cautioned the cor
respondent ni)t to use his name and
thus it is that the author of probably
the brightest saying of the week will
never be known. In this connection
the official was speaking when I was
introduced to him and he said pointing
to the bulletin board and laughing:
Your heroes are today relieved of
their responsible duties. Our last re
ports from their camp stated that they
were attending a barbecue in Georgia.
and I trust when they return home
uir people in North Carolina will give
them something equally as good."
On the bulletin board was the order
to muster out the Second North Caro
lina infantry, including forty-nine offi
cers and l.:iy men. The regiment on
the rolls of the department here is short
one olficer. This vacuiry it was
thought yesterday would be left on the
d'tieials rolls as it was: i. e.. one cap
tain for Company M. but this morning
I am told that the vacancy will be in
the Second Battalion. Adjutant David
Clark's promotion to a captaincy will
be acknowledged if received at once.
and when the regiment is mustered out
he will have the good fortune of a
captain. !t will be a pleasure to the
men and to their friends at home to
know that when the volunteers are
mustered out they are given two
months' furlough and their names, as
individuals are retained on the pay
roll two months thereafter. In the case
f the Second Regiment alone this will
imotint to about Jl.Ti.ftnii extra pay, and
when it is remembered that this regi
ment received back pay from the date
f the President's call until they were
mustered into service, it is seen that
they will have re.-eived almost as much
money for time not served as they have
for time in service.
The record of the Second was dead
against them and this Is considered
most unfortunate for many of its
members who have really deserved
c redit for their service.
Orders have already been issued for
the mustering out of eightv-one of
the volunteer regiments and for the
present one hundred and forty-one re
main in service. There is a doubt in
the minds of the officials as to whether
use can be made of the Third Regiment
and it is known that influence is the
cause of its remaining in service as
long as it has. It will probably not be
out of service until October.
The Miles-Alger controversy is com
ing to a head and the arrival of the
former in New York on the transport
Obdam early next week will cause no
little sensation'. Some officials here
thing General Miles' arrival will for the
time quiet matters but others equally
as well informed say the General will
not fail to make public his views when
he finds to what extent the controversy
has developed. He Is expeceted to ar
rive in Washington by Wednesday or
Thursday of next week. Secretary Al
ger says he will ask for no explanation,
and this taken as an almost cowardly
act by some. Though he desires to
avoid the publicity of an Investigation
there seems to be a united effort on
the part of the Northern papers to
force some sort of investigation, and
doubtless they will make it sensa
tional. Orders have been issued taking the
regulars from Montauk . Point and
sending them to various stations east
of the Mississippi. It is thought wise
to separate them from the volunteers
A hospital ship with a capacity to dis
til 60,000 gallons of water perday has
been ordered to Montauk Point to fur
nish water to the soldiers there.
The President's absence from Wash
ington has greatly affected news circles
and his return is eagerly awaited.
W. H. BAGLEY.
MUSTERED OUT BY WIND.
The Atlanta Journal speaking of
mustering out of Second North Caro
lina Regiment says:
The wind has already mustered out
the equipment of four of these com
panies, burying their tents and records
in the sea. Yesterday the department
here was notified of the trouble at Ty
bee Island, and this morning a tele
gram was received from Major
Dixon
at Port Royal, saying the tents and re
cords of his companies had been blown
into the ocean and the men had to be
taken to the city for shelter. The camp
is entirely broken up. After these ex
periences the men will hail with joy
the order, homeward march.

are the same slick wire-pullers, who
saat into the Farmers' Alliance, marked
their way to the front, some of them
going so far as to organize a secret
band inside the alliance having for lis
object the control of the selection of its
officers so as to confer all the paying
officers on themselves.
"And when discovered in this nefari
ous scheming had the cheek and crimi
nal audacity to appeal to the lank ami
file of those whom they had sought to
undermine, to contribute of their hon
est acquired means to save tln-m from
punishment.
"We protest against the existence of
the same secret plan which we have
reason to believe is yet being secretly
worked in the committees of our party,
having the same sneaking objects in
view. Therefore we call upon all voters
who are in favor of our demands and
are hoping for financial reform to
abandon these professional traitors,
and like true, honest voters return to
our standard and with us continue the
struggle until we obtain the victory.
Theie is no hope for relief through
those who have proven themselves
traitors to every party and social or
ganization to which they ever belonged,
they proved traitors to the Democratic
party, traitors to the principles of the
Alliance, traitors to the People's party,
and will prove traitors to the Republi
can party as soon as a chance is pre
sented. Our is the only party before
the people that stands undivided on the
great question of the unrestricted cour
age of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1.
'Ours is the only party favoring gov
ernment issue of paper money, known
as greenbacks, which is the best money
in the world for the people. The Peo
ple's party is the only party favoring
government ownership of railways and
telegraph lines, which should be owned
by the people the same as the postal
service and the navy. The People's
party is the only party opposed to
trusts and combinations, which destroy
competition, and are plundering, and
enslaving our people and seeking to
control even the Intelligence of the
youth of our country by buying up our
great educational institutions. The
People's party is the only party op
posed to national banWs; they have
plundered productive labor of all its
earnings during the last 30 years and
financially enslaved our posterity for
years to come. Under forms of law,
they have acquired control of enarly
all the money of our republic, debauch
ed our government, created panics,
prostituted our Supreme Court and
caused more suffering than all wars
and pestilence combined. They have
destroyed ' the people's money, con
tracted our currency and forced the
nation to depend upon them for money
to conduct business of tli'e nation. The
People's party is the only party op
posed
to government by injunction, by
which capital bribed Federal Judges,
can order the mechanic and laborers
confined in prison dungeons for refus
ing to serve the money power.
"The People's party is the only party
favoring an income tax, by which those
who have plundered productive labor of
ist earnings and acquired control of
two-thirds of the wealth of the United
States should be forced to pay same
at least of the taxes necessary to run
the government.
"The People's party is the only party
favoring the election of United States
Senators by the people, by which they
may have a voice in the law-making
power of the nation.
"Therefore, as Populists, true to our
principles, we propose to stand by and
contend for the reforms embodied in
our plaform regardless of the fate of
those wreckers and place hunters who
appear to cherish no higher aims than
to spend their energies in abusing and
vilifying the same party with which
the filliated until the People's party
came into existence.
"We further more declare ourselves
opposed to fusion on any other issues
than those embodied in our platform,
and we appeal to our friends, who stood
so bravely oy our principles in 1S92 to
abandon that rotten klan of deserters
:nd traitors who have brought our
party into disgrace and are seeking to
make it a contempt for spoils only.
"And h't us note for and contend
for the reforms which we first started
out to sure. We believe our demands
are just and if enacted into laws would
place our people and country in the
hairiest, happiest and most prosperous
condition of any nation on earth.
"Therefore, resolved. That primary
meetings in various townships of the
county be cal! -d and held at their usual
meeting places on Tuesday. September
-Tth. to elect delegates and township
executive committee, and that a county
convention of su.-h deb-sates he held

Raleigh. N. c.. Sept. 3. 1S?S.
Mr. Editor: I see that y..u are trying
to run a lot of it -ms of an exaggerated
character in your paper under cover of
the naaias club, but the a 1 Lord
knows and s. , y all things, and I can
loll you now. that all those stories are
is inn, h untruths as can possibly be.
and lla author will have to answer for
them at the last day. I am not one of
the "goody-goody" kin.!, and I like a
good j, ke wh.-n strictly true, but there
are pb nty of marvelous stories to tell
which are stri.-tlc true. i,,r "truth is
stranger than ti. iion. Now. 1 have in
mind one which is rather curious, but
oiihl I. lob t,. a Sunday-school class:
T!.-i ale several vntun; men in our
ity who -laim that they '-an catch
more s-aail !;sh with hook and line than
any other crowd of the sane- number.
Tin y wee all sitting in capitol square
a f-w evenings since, and an old dar
key came by with a small bunch of
very small fish.
"Hello! uncle, where .lid you catch
those fish?"
"Cra bliee."
"You ar- no fisherman nt all. When
we go lo crabtree we bring home lish.
We wouldn't bait our hooks for them
lish."
"Yes. I knows boss, but den vou
goniYm-ns lias good tackle, and can
git plenty asfedita to rub on vour
hooks, and 1 has to use wild inyuns.
Hut ter.lay down at the "big rock hole
I hung a fish what broke every line I
had. but I'se gwlnter fix fur him and
get him tomorrow."
The old darkey left, and Mr. George
rpchureh remarked: "Let's get Mr.
Dughi to go down with his seine. I'll
bet it's one of them German carp."
"No." said several others, "let us all
go down and catch him with a hook.'
So the entire crowd started to Crab
tree. George Uivhurch was the first
lo cat line, and before any of the rest
could unwind their lines he had a
"bite." and the cork went sizzing un
der about four feet of water. George
Upchurch thought he would let him
swallow it good, so let him "play." and
came perfectly limp, and to theese "fio
came perfectly limp, and made no ef
fort whatever to get loose. George
drew him to the bank, assisted by sev
eral, and found it to be a cat, weighing
at least sixty pounds. It was so strange
that the fish did not struggle any more
than he did that it was decided to hold
a post mortem, and when cut open it
was found that inside was apparently
t three day's old baby and half gallon
of corn whiskey, with corncob stopper.
The fish had swallowed the hook so
deep it caught in the stopper, and pull
ed it out, spilling the whiskey, which
made the fish drunk, thus making it
easy to pull him out. Ike Rogers of
the police force says he saw the jug.
A countryman from New Light had it
and the poor fellow must have got
drowned.
