LONDON, Oct. 25. All the interest
today centered on Salisbury's additional
Pashoda correspondence, contained in
a publication on the British Blue Book
subject. Conservative newspapers ex

Opening
Today
THE PROCESSION
n accordance with the program as
arranged the formal opening of the
reat State Fair took place this morn
ing. Never before has there been a
more imposing street pageant, the long
line of marshals each' accompanied by
a Maid of Honor mounted upon spirit
ed horses, headed by the entire Raleigh
police force and the Durham cornet
band in a magnificently decorated band
wagon. These were followed by the
chief marshal and one hundred mount
ed assistants, led by a buglar In uni
form. Then followed carriages with la
dies and prominent State and United
States officials. Behind these came the
city government and the Raleigh Fire
Department and carriages with citi
zens.
The procession extended from the
capitol grounds to the Fal Grounds.
Reaching the grounds the procession
entered the big gate on the North side
md passed up the great Midway into
the race track.
At 12 o'clock noon the Fair of 1898
was formally opened by an address by
His Excellency Governor D. L. Russell,
aided and assisted by the officers of the
North Carolina State Agricultural So
ciety. Thousands of people joined in
opening who had already reached the
grounds, and if the weather only con
tinues pleasant, it is feared the Fair
grounds will not accommodate vast
rowds which will be here Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.
At one o'clock the racing began and
the Grand Stand and all around the
race track was thronged with anxious
lookers on.
The opening was a decided success
and every thing points to the-grandest
and best Fair Raleigh has ever had.
In the history of the Association there
will not be found any pages with
brighter coloring than those which
make up the record of the State Fair
of 1898. The agricultural exhibits are
certainly a gr,and showing for the pro
ducers of the State. The mechanical
implements, domestic articles and artis
tic work are there great' profusion.
Levitt the great Fair man has the
grounds perfectly dotted with amuse
ments, instructive and entertataing,
principal among which is me mystify
ing. Crystal Maze, Buckley's stables of
performing horses, Mount Morenzo's
troop of Tuks and performing bears.
The races as scheduled are all filled
and some of the best horses in the
country are entered.
The entire management of the Fair
was never better and is perfect in all
its details, and the crowd today were
happy indeed at the promised success
which without rain is already assured.
There is the best of feeling among
every one you meet and our readers
may rest assured that every comfort
and entertainment and amusement and
pleasure will be afforded them from
the moment they arrive in Raleigh till
they leave.
TOMORROW'S PROGRAM.
The procession will again form at
10 o'clock in front of the larborough
House and will probably be even more
Imposing than on the previous day.
It will move at 11 and march to the
Fair Grounds.
This day has been set apart as Con
federate Veteran Reunion Day. The
entire day will devoted to the old he
roes. Marshal Drewry has extended an
invitation to all veterans, who will pre
sent themselves at 10 o'clock, mounted,
to act as assistant marshals on this
day. It is expected that a large num
ber from the surrounding country will
accept the invitation, and add to the
interest of the occasion, and make It
a day to be remembered by the old
soldiers. It is hoped that the route of
march will be handsomely decorated
during the entire week.
At night there will be the annual
meeting of the Confederate Veterans,
held in the Senate Chamber.
There will be three races this after
noon, beginning at 1 o'clock.
1st. A trotting race, purse, $150.
2d. A trotting and pacing race, purse,
$200.
3d. A running race, purse, $150.
This last race will be in mile heats,
the best two of the three and will be
a very Interesting trial of speed.
While watching the races do not fall
to carefully examine the stock exhibits
and make arangements to purchase one
or more animals, that will be of benefit
and value to your farm'. The State
Fair offers to the farmers the best op.
portunlty to sell and to purchase fine
stock, and it is usually a wise outlay
j of money.
t All Confederate Veterans will be wel
come at the Reunion meeting in the
j Senate Chamber at 8 o'clock p.m.

glve a reception this evening to the

The Auspicious
The Washington Star's Ac
count of the Affair.
DISUJS8ED BY CABINET.
Senator Pritcburti fixpectn ScrionsTrouble
Dct ween the Haces Will Governor
Nussell Ask for Troops 'A
Yesterday afternoon the Washington
Star (IndepencTen) says:
"The possibility of having to send
Federal troops Into North Carolina was
discussed at the White House by the
President at an informal cabinet meet
ing this morning. The gravity of the
situution in that State is felt by admin
istration officials here, andr nobody
knows what may be the outcome.
Senator Pritchard has written a let
ter to the Republican officials picturing
the situation there, and saying that
Governor Russell may have to call on
President McKinley if there Is not a
change in the situation. He says that
the State troops are in the government
service, and not many are available to
quell prospective riots.
There were with the President, At
torney General Griggs, Secretaries Al
ger, Long and Hay. The facts as set
forth by Senator Pritchard were dis
cussed. Of course the President has no
power to send Federal troops to North
Carolina until the Governor has made
reauisition for them and sets forth that
he is unable to harfdle the situation
with the forces at his command. The
President desires to do nothing to give
the appearance of using Federal troops
at election times, when their presence
might affect the election.
INTENSE RACE PREJUDICE.
'The letter of Senator Pritchard was
written before the riot near Lumberton,
N. C, yesterday, and Is based- almost
wholly on the intense race prejudice
and the wholesale purchase of arms.
The Senator sees trouble ahead. The
white people have bought, arms in large
quantities and the colored people are
buying them wherever purchasable, al
though it is charged that the merchants
a majority of whom are Democrats, will
not sell weapons to the colored people.
"The most serious trouble Is looked
for in the counties where the colored
people predominate. It is charged that
the Democrats are buying weapons in
those counties to Intimidate the colored
voter and to keep him away from the
polls.
"After the talk at the White House
Chairman Babcock of the Republican
Congressional Committee saw the Pres
ident about the outlook i North Caro
lina. He apprehends trouble on elec
tion day and probably earlier.
'So far there has been no extensive
rioting in the State. Governor Russell
could not call for Federal troops until
the rioting had actually occurred, and
he was able to show that he had ex
hausted all the efforts of the State to
suppress It. The expectation is that the
trouble may be kept In hand until elec
tion day. Wise and cool heads in all
the parties in North Carolina are work
ing to prevent fighting at the polls and
hope to succeed, but the information of
all kinds coming here is that bloodshed
can hardly he prevented on election
day.
AIM OF THE DEMOCRATS.
"It Is alleged by high officials here,
and charged byNorth Carolina Repub
licans, that the aim of the Democrats
is to elect- silver. Democrats to the
House of Representatives, but North
Carolina Democrats say that they are
simply, trying to wrest the State gov
ernment from the Republicans and from
what they declare to be negro domina
tion. 'Governor Russel! is a Republican,
He was elected two years ago, and has
two more years to serve. The legisla
ture, county officials, court judges, etc.,
are to be elected. The Democrats are
working hard to secure the legislature,
If they do-, not win this year they say
they will never win.
"Senator Tillman is now speaking in
North Carolina. Senator Daniel of Vir
ginia will go there in a few days to
make several speeches."

To-liey.
The announcement that Senator
Pritchard, Senator Buthir, Governor
Russell and O. H. Dockery, Sr., would
speak in Wilmington next Saturday
night was received with surprise. The
arrangement is said to have been made
by the fusion campaign committee. It
was telegraphed the Wilmington Star
last night and today an important
meeting of citizens was held there. The
meeting was said to be for the pur
pose of passing resolutions and taking
other action necessary to prevent the
speaking from taking place as it is
deemed unadvisable. and even consid
ered dangerous by some.
Senator Pritchard arrived in Raleigh
this morning, he came up from Char
lotte, where lit; .spoke last night, lie
spent the morning in Republican head
quarters and hail many callers. He
said that he presumed that lie would
speak in Wilmington Saturday.
First Assistant Attorney General
James E. Boyd arrived in Raleigh this
afternoon and is advertised to speak in
the court house tonight. He is consid
ered the "big gun" in his party.
In a special from Washington in the
Post this morning Attorney General
Griggs was quoted as saying that he
would approve the appointment oi dep
uty United States marshals to preserve
order in North Carolina.
Marshal Dockery was asked If he
would appoint special deputies. He re
plied, "No. I don't intend to appoint
any special deputies."
The Democrats today were generally
indignant at the Idea of sending Fed
eral troops here to manage affairs In
this State, and believed that this seem
ing attempt showed that the fusionists
saw defeat ahead.
RIP VAN WINKLE TONIGHT.
The Peruchi-Beldeni Company Enthu
siastically Received.

to finish and interest never flagged. The
play last evening was "The Western
Judge," and although this play has of
ten been presented in Raleigh the ren
dition was the best seen hero and fa
miliarity with the plot did not detract
from the performance. The personifi
cation of the "Judge" by Mr. Morgan
was unsurpassed. The specialties were
very amusing and kept the audience in
a continual laugh. The Carlton Sisters
were very clever.
Tonight the company wni present
Rip Van Winkle. This is one of their
best and most interesting plays and
they should have a full house at popu
lar prices. The Wilmington papers all
praised highly "Rip Van Winkle."

AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
A large and fashionable audience
greeted the Wilbur Opera Company and
Miss Susie Kirwin at the Academy of
Music last night at tneir opening in
Stahl's immensely funny opera, "Said
Pasha," the rendition of which was per
fect. The cast in this apera is most
excellent and each sustained his char
acter admirably. Mr. E. A. Clark as
Said Pasha, Mr. Lyman Wheeler as an
officer of the Turkish patrol, and Mr.
W. E. Hilliard as an officer of the gov
ernment were good. Especitlly well
personated were the characters Terrano,
a Mexican nobleman by Mr. Harold
Gordon, and Rajah, commander of AI
tara, by Mr. Charles A. Fuller. The
very life of the evening's entertainment
was in Nokey, a hobo, by Mr. J. Clar
ence Harvey, who is great as an all
round commedlan. Hadad, an adven
turer, with a most ridiculous make up,
Mr. George Muzzy, created much mirth.
The female characters were superbly
sustained. Miss Susie Kirwin as Sere
na, the Pasha's daughter caught the
large audience at once, and held it
throughout the evening. Miss Louise
Roberts, as Bala Lojah, the Rajah's
sister, a most difficult character was
perfectly rendered, while Miss Margaret
Baxter as Alt), Queen of Altara was par
excellence. The chorus is composed of
splendid voices, male and female, and
a bevy of beautiful faces.
After the first act, "Old Glory." Ani
mated Song Sheet, being a large back
ground representing an American flag,
dotted with the pretty faces of the fe
male shorus peeping through the
