TIMES-VI NUMBER 8670. RALEIGH, N. :.. SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10. 1898. 25 CENTS A MONTH THE FROM THE CAPITAL Prt sideut McKinlev'sReview of Returned Hero, s A GREAT RECEPTION The (resident lines His Hat to Catch a Boquet From a Soldier- -McKlnley Is Coming to tuu Sooth Shortly. Washington, Sept. 10. To those who have never seen a great enthusiastic crowd In a great city the scenes on the Avenues In Washington yesterday would have been most interesting. Ear ly In the morning, some hours before, the usual breakfast time, the people7 began to flock towards the thorough fares through which the returned Dis trict of Columbia Volunteers would march and in the streets near the White House, where the President was to review the men who had fought at Santiago, was an immense surging mass of humanity, a jolly crowd, to express it better, it was a Washing ton Holiday crowd, different in every Way from holidays crowds in other cities, for here everyone is in good hu mor on holidays and this is caused by the facts that holidays come oftener here and the people learn how to use them, in fact they are required to make the fete days a seccess. In the morn ing papers it had been announced that the regiment would arrive shortly after noon and at that hour the popular Pennsylvania Avenue was Jammed with enthusiastic men, women and children each wearing some emblem and among these were interesting Santiago sou venirs. The crowd jostled together as the hours passed and not until nearly four o'clock did the Regimental Band announce the approach or the eoldiers. Then it was that the whistles in every factory screamed forth in one accord the bells from every tower rang out in ' harmonious sounds and a mad shout from more than fifty thousand throats threw ardor into the inspiring scene. When the regiment reached the White House, the President, with uncovered head stood on the north portico and as the men passed he saluted every one of them. There was one Incident in con nection with the review of the troops that especially drew my attention and it made many admirers ffcr the Presi dent. It was just after the Colonel, the Majors and the staff officers had pass ed, everyone was watching the Presi dent to see how the scene affected him. and then too, everyone was thinking of the men who just a few months ago passed under the same portico as they were en route to their train to depart for Santiago. "Here are the men," said some one and then the line of thin and worn sol diers began to pass before the Presi dent. He put his silk hat on his head that both might be free and setting the example for those about mm he clapped his hands, and when the crowd around the Commander in Chief followed his example he turned about for a moment to say "Good work. Keep it up." Oc casionally the noise would die down, but the President would start it up again by rapping on his "beaver," and more than once he appealed to the newspaper men about him, "Keep it up." Once as the sick were passing in the grandest equipages belonging to any of the citizens of Washington the crowd saw a little fellow In uniform lying with his head on the shoulder of a comrade and the President saw the little man too. He took from his head the silk hat and waved it at the youngster who in acknowledgement threw from the side of the carriage his beautiful boquet, the kind given to each man In the regiment. Evervone saw the flowers sail into the air, lome thought they would strike the President and yet others thought they would fall so far short of the mark that the President would never get tern, but they didn't miss themark for th Presi dent was quick to see them falling and quickly 'taking his hat from his head again he stretched forth his arm. swung the stove-pipe a little below the flowers and amid great applause caught the present In his hat. It was a rich scene and though In a way un dignified the good work was accom plished with Buch grace that the crowd was quick to show its appreciation. For hours after the review was over the streets were crowded with the happy throng and the men who were not fagged out by their long trip from Montauk Point and were well enough to be on the streets were given "glorious treatment. The car lines have an nounced that any soldier wearing his uniform will be allowed to ride free for a month, the drug stores are giving the men drinks free and in a little ways that one would scarcely think of the heroes are being made much of. Among the crowd at the White House today I found a number of people from North Carolina, and the arrival of them all was Mr. Sam Young, of Raleigh, who was quite fortunate In getting a position within twenty or thirty steps of the President Like the others from the Old North State, he led the crowd when It came to cheering the heroes. . There is little news here now that directly affects North Carolina, unless it be in the fact that it is not Improb able that the President will make a visit to Jacksonville to see the Seventh Army Corps, and after seeing the camp and the regiments quartered there, among them the First North Carolina, he will return to Washington through North Carolina. He seems opposed to travelling through North Carolina. He seems opposed to travelling at night and It Is therefore a probability that he will make his trip through the State in the day time. The North Carolinians whol ive here are making efforts to get leave to go to register that they may get a chance to vote this year. Few have been suc cessful.

ENGLAND, FRANCE French Troops Attempt to Exercise Rights in Soudan THEY OCCUPY FASHODA French Troops Attack a Steamer, sent Up the hite Nile by the Natives, killing Many i f the Crew. By Cable to the Times-Visitor. Omduman, Sept. 7. (Delayed) An Important incident occurred this morning. It appears that Khalilia Abdullah, a few days before the arrival of the Anglo Egyptian army, heard that a force of white men occupied Fashoda, a town on the west bank of the white Nile, and also the capital of a very fertile and densely populated district. Fash -oda is about four hundred mles south of Kyartoum. 'Kalifia im mediately sent two steamers to investigate the report. One of them returned this morning and surrendered to General Kiteh ner. The commander of the steamer reported that upon his arrival at Fashoda he found that that place was occupied by a force of whites. Latter they opened a heavy Are on the steamer, which narrowly escap ed annihilation. The crew lost many killed and wounded. From the bullets embeded in the hull of the steamer it seems to be certain that the whites are at Fashoda and that thev are a force cf French troops. The 'British commander will send a : flotilliCof gun boats up the White Nile to investigate these affairs. The Anglo-Egyptian cavalry has captured the prin lepal wife of Khalifa and his mother. Osman Digsa and Sheik Eddin were found in ex treme disstitution on the left bank of the Nile. London, Sept. 10. It is believed that the French force at Fash oda was Major Marehand's ex ploring party. It is not thought that they will be like ly claim or exercise any sover eign rights in Soudan in behalf of the Republic of France. ! MUSICAL RECITAL. rrof.

On to Boston is the word now: the Souvereigners will meet there on the 19th. The Rebekah will celebrate their anniversary on September the 21st. The Grand Secretary visited part of the lodges in Moore and Montgomery last week. An outfit and supplies have been sent to Statesviile for a lodge to be organ ized next Wednesday. Including the work of instituting at Statesviile, the coming v.eex, our Grand Secretary will visit the lodges in that section. We are glad to nnti."e m the last is sue of the Orphan Home, the acknowl edgement of a nice gift from Ruth Lodge of Raleigh. We anticipated giving our readers the address delivered by i;ro. I'errln Bus bee before Capital Lodge a few weeks ago, for their enjoyment, but have been unable to get it. Bro. H. is modest. We are triad to note the spirit of rev ival in all our lodges as well as the en campment. It begins to look like we are going to have something like the old time fires kindled again. Do you stay away from your lodge because some one else attends who you do not like to associate with? Tf so which of the two do you think is worth the must to the Lodge? If the non attendants would organize themselves into a body and go to one meeting of their lode they would be surprised to see how easy thev could out-vote the regular attendants, who they sometimes accuse of trying to run the lodge on a ring basis. Are we not making a mistake In try ing to increase the membership? Cer tainly, if wi: can increase by securing men to join no who are likely to be of service to (he order and to raise its dignity air1. !-'o:al stamina we ought to do so. but In .jr eagerness to secure members have we not lost sight of the most valuable object and increased to our own hurt? Verily it were belter that our number be small, but of the right kind rather than larf.:e and of the wrong kind. It is exceedingly refreshing to have a ' District Deputy Grand ila. iiT, who. not only appreciates his position, but is dis charging his full duty to the work i m iii.ttcd to his charge.

"I am too biitsy." This Is an expres sion oftener used than It should be. It means too much. It is intended some times to mislead, and so frequent has this been the case that it is rarely ac cepted as an excuse. Too busy to attend my lodge. How often do we hear this. Busy at what? If it were some other work of love or charily then certainly it is acceptable. If busy at something to help somebody else, something to assist humanity, something to relieve distress, something to enlighten the mind, to enlarge the affection of the human race, then there is a valid excuse for your non attend ance on account of being busy. But, being too busy to attend, in nine cases out of ten, is busy for self. Too busy, but can find time to stand around the streets until midnight discussing poll tics. Criticising someboay, and dis paraging others. Find time to shuf fle cards, throw dice, shoot billiard balls and maybe get tipsy. Busy for self and self gratification. Too busy to do anything for anybody but self. These considerations apply to other matters beside Lodge matters, too. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Sunday School 1 a. m.
