Al though she had been tossed by a strong gale and heavy stas for several days, the United States cruiser Raleigh, the dret of the ships which fought with Dewey in Manila Bay to return home, reached this port today, having passed through the storm as safely as through cbe rain of projectiles from Montojo'a deet. Captain Coghlau, the other officers and the crew of the ship are aH well, m excellent spirits and anxious to reach New York, where they know a tremendous ovation awaits them. The Raleigh sailed from Horta, Azores, April 1st and was expected to reach Bermuda April 7th. She was overtaken by a severe storm April Oth, and htr progress was delayed. The gale was so strong and the seas were so heavy, that her speed had to be reduced to six knots. There was some apprehension among the numerous Americans here who had been impatiently awaiting her arrival. Their welcome of the cruiser was no more enthusiastic than that of the Brit ish licet, which cordially received the famous ship when she anneared in the harbor. The Raleigh will take on coal and provisions here and sail for New York Thursday. INDEPENDENCE Absolute Freedom Affui- naldo's Duly Ideal ILONDON, April 11.

Mc intosh, representing the Postal Tele graph Company, appeared here before Judge Robinson in chambers in regard to getting a right of way over the lin of the Southern Railway for its poles from Danville, Durham and Winston via Greensboro to Charlotte, connec tions having been made with other im portant points in the State. The Wtatem Union, under the guise of the Southern, opposed the move, but the Postal won and an appeal was taken to the U. S. Court. Here the Postal won every time, the last hearing being before the court in Richmond, tfae result of which was an nounced last week. Col. Molntosh was here this morning with an order from Judge Goff and the commissioners heretofore appointed are to hear argument and fix the amount of damages) on the 20th at this place. Should the Western Union appeal on this amount, the work will proceed. This ends the fight, which has been one for procrastination only, as there nerer. was any doubt about the right of the Postal to come in, and offices will be estab Ksbed in the places eybove noted Within a short time. But this procrastination has been prof itable to the Western Union, keeping out opposition for a year or more, worth perhaps $150,000. The new company has extensive con nections and is the only one the Western Union has not succeeded in driving out of business, spending in the effort a large amount of money ana Drains. Capt. C. B. Dehson, treasurer of the North Carofina Agricultural Society, an nounced this morning that the coupons for 1895 of the bonds issued by the So ciety will now be paid upon presentation at the Oitisene National Bank. These bonds bear 6 per cent, interest. This announcement it extremely gratifying and speaks well for last year's Fair work, done by President Cunningham, Secretary Nichols and Treasurer Den son.

Dr. Feene.v of the New York Board of Health found upon investigation that clothing from this hot beds of disiase were being shipped to North Carolina. rD. McKee recommended that all sec ond hand clothing in Raleigh stores be baked and thoroughly disinfected also that no more second hand clothing should be allowed to be sold in Raleigh except when a certificate is shown from the health officers of tne city from which they wore shipped. City Attorney Busbee recommended that a strict ordinance he adopted by the aldermen imposing ' a tax on dealers in second hand.

Dus- ger, a very good doctor, who Is now an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, desired employment by the city to attend small pox parents. Dr. McKee recommended that if it became necessary Dr. Dugger be so employed. , - This completed the work of the Board today, SALE AT WORK.

CROP BULLETIN 1 lie F.rst Report of the Sea son GREATLY RETARDED Reports are All Unfavorable Farmers are far Behind Track Crop Growing Very Slowly. .The weekly crop bulletin, the first for tjiis year, " embracing the week endiac Monday, April luth, was issued today. X-the bulletin says: -The opening 01 the crop season of 1899 in North Carolina has been extremely unfavorable. The winter was severe; the remarkable freeze on February 14th broke all previous records for cold Weath er in the State, and since then the rain fall has been so cessive that the soil has been continuously soaked. Roads have b.eu almost impassable, and very little farm work could be accomplished. The season averages from two to four weeks late everywhere, with practically no pre parations yet made for the main crops coin, cotton, and tobacco. The rt ports of crop correspondents for tho week ending Mouda, April 10th, are unanimously unfavorable. The weather has been cold, wet and gloomy. The week opened with a snowstorm oa Tuesday, averaging from i to.O inches in depth and breaking all previous re cords tor April. Ou Friday a general and heavy raiufall occurred, bringing the average precipitation for the week to over U.UO iuches. Following the snow storm the temperature fell to below freez ing in the central and western portions of the State, with frost as far as South port. Frosts also occurred on the Oth and 10th as far south as Wilmington. Ihe average temperature for the week was over 1U degrees below the normal. On account of the very wet condition of the soil very little plowing could be done. An insignificant amount of corn was planted, and the delay in the prepar ation of cotton land will contribute to limit the acreag eto be planted. Gar dens have hardly been touched, but a irood many Irish potatoes have been plauted, a tew potatoes bedded, and some nvt lons put in. Tobacco plants are email and growing slowly; preparations inai cate'a large crop of tobacco. Winter wheat and oats are generally thin and small, having been badly winter killed, but east of the Blue Ridge the plants look healthy. Winter oats are in the worst condition. Much loss of grain on lowlands resulted from frequent fresh ets in the mountainous sections. Sow ing of spring oats has been delayed un til it is almost too late. Rice lands axe still under water. Truck crops are growing slowly and shipments to northern markets can hard ly be said to have begun, r rests cut down peas and unprotected Irish pota toes, but the greatest loss results from retarded growth. The reports of dam age to ctrawberries are very diversified, but considering that many acres of vines were covered and the number of blos soms was still small, the percentage of actual loss will not be great. The pros pect for other fruit is not encouraging; fruit trees and grape vines were seriously cut back by the February freeze; peach es especially show very limited bloom. IS IT MALARIA OR ALUM? (Popular Science Monthly.) Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion and often feverishness are the common symptoms of a physiological condition termed 'malaria." A 111 these symptoms may be and frequently are the effect of the use of alum baking powers in food making. There is no question about the poisonous effect of alum upon the sys tini. It obstructs digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the blood. All this has been made dear, thanks to physicians, boards of health, and food commissions. So "highly in jurious to the health of the comimnnity" does the eminent head of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the alum baking powders, that he says "their sale should be prohibited by law." Under these circumstances it is worth the while of every house-wife to employ the very little care that is necessary to keep so dangerous an element from the food of her family. A pure cream of tartar 'baking pow der, which is the only kind that should lie used, ought to cost about 45 cents to. 50 cents a pound. Therefore, if you are paying' much less, something is wrong; if you are paying 25 cents or less per pound, ' the - powdeir is certainly made from alum. Always bear these simple facts in mind when purchasing baking powder. U. S. GRANT, THIRD. ' Wrest Point, N. Y., April 9. A fierce battle occured at Highlands Falls at a late hour last night bttween candidates for admission to West Point as cadets on the one side and boys of the village on the other. The candidates are at tending the preparatory schools at High land Falls prior to being examined at West Point next June for admission to the academy. There were about thirty of them in the fight but they were out numbered three to one by the boys of the town. . The trouble began with a hand-to-hand encounter and the crowd soon increased to such an extent that stone-throwing took the place of fists. Several of the candidates were more or less Injured, the most seriously hurt be ing Grant III. The services of all the doctors in town were required to dress the wounds of the injured.
