At 5:45 yesterday afternoon news earner that the cruiser had been sighted off the bar, and at 6:20 her arrival at Southport was announced. A special from Southport to the Morn ing Star says: , The United States cruiser Raleigh ar rived from Philadelphia and anchored in the harbor at 6:50 o'clock this even ing. This has been a gala afternoon for the lower Cape Fear, for Wilmington sent bar "beauty and her chivalry" down ths river to give the cruiser Ral , eigh a ronstng Boutbern welcome to" the waters of the Old North State. South port's water front was alive with flags in- the Raleigh's honor and the steamer Marion, gaily decked with flags, came down the river about 12 o'clock with the Navigation Committee on board and a little later cum toe steamers Compton, Hornet and Wilmington covered with .busting and crowded, with people an, loos to give their cheer of welcome to the cruiser. The afternoon passed slowly to waiting crowds, but at 5:15 o'clock the Oak Island Life Saving crew signaled that the Raleigh was in sight. Tho steamers immediately passed out and with checres and whistles met the cruiser just off the bar. As the Hornet came abreast, sbe tired the national sa lute of 21 guns iwth ber Iiotcbkiss. The Raleigh followed by the Hornet, Wil mington, Marion and Compton and Cape l'ear then came in over the bar at 0:10. aud as she came opposite Fort Gaswcli the fort welcomed her with the national lute of 21 guns with her Iiotcbkiss. The Raleigh responded with 21 guns, mak ing a slight picture of how she must have looked entering Manila harbor on that memorable first of May. The Ral eigh then steamed on and anchored in front of the town at C:50 o'clock. The Raleigh is drawing twenty feet and six nehes and Captain Coghlan and his offi cers much regret that on account of this draft, it is not advisable to take the ship on up the river to Wilmington. 1 lie Raleigh still has her war paint on but otherwise looks the same as when she was here two years ago.

When the company was mustered out. two of its volunteers were not with their com radesthey had gone to that world where there is no flash of musketry and whexe, war sounds no lond alarms. It is now" proposed to erect a monument to the memory of these two brave men. In a letter in yesterday's Morning Herald, Col. Julian S. Carr writes: "Durham should be interested in the erection in our 'City of the Dead' of a suitable monument to the memory . of Privates Matthey Barbee and Rufus V. Stem. These two heroes, side" by side, 'sleep the dreamless sleep of death,' covered by the green sward of our cemetery. This community will not have done its duty, until we mark their last resting place with a suitable monu ment. And I appeal to every lover of our 'soldier boys,' who on the 2d day of May, 1898, marched away so bravely to defend our country's honor, to re spond to this appeal to suitably mark the honred graves of these two heroes, who will come back no more forever. I will hand Mr. Leo. D.

Heartt, cashier, whatever amounts they feel disposed to con tribute." BLIND INSTITUTION CONCERT.
