Chu la tbe Hrar f Ttklig Observa tions, Wltb the Good Keasons Therefor. Washington, Aug. 17. Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, to-day issued the following circular giv ing notification of an important change In the hour of taking observations: "Beginning with September 1st, 1895, the hour of taking observations at cot ton region, sugar and rice stations' will be 8 a. m., 75th meridian time (Central standard), instead of 6 p. m.. 75th me ridian time." By making this change it will be possible to issue the cotton-region bul letins each mornine for the 24 hours ending 8 a. ro,, within two hours after the hour of observation, and to give the minimum temperature for the current day. At present the bulletins are is sued after 8 p. m. and as a rule reach the public not earlier than the morning of the following day from 4 to 16 hours after the time of observation tbe bul letin containing tbe minin unvtempera ture which occurred more than 24 hours before posting. The great advantages that will result from this change is therefore obvious. Id the cotton, sugar and rice-growing regions of the South hundreds of mil lions of dollars are invested, and tbe condition of the weather is at all times a feature eagerly watched by those in terested in those staples. The many disasters to these investments by drought, frost, floods, violent wind storms and sudden and decided changes in temperature have created a demand for such information as can be used in determining, at frequent intervals, the condition of the growing crop. The Secretary of Agriculture believes that in giving the information to those for whom it is collected practically 21 hours earlier than at present this change will prove of great advantage to the cotton, sugar, and rice interests of the South, and the practical benefits that will result will be greatly appre ciated by producer and dealer alike. Blackburn is the Winner. Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 17. In the pri maries held in Scott county to-day, the free silver men elected J. A. Hammon without a fight. This gives Blackburn one vote to spare in his race, which is really won, if decided in a Democratic caucus. Blackburn now says that either he or a Republican will be the next United States Senator from Kentucky. Hammon is a strong Blackbnrn man. BASEBALL YESTKKDAY. NATIONAL LEA9UI.

Losdon. Aug. 17. The speech of the Duke of Marlborough on Thursday in the House of Lords, in moving the ad dress in reply to the Queen's speech, is regarded as very clever and has won for the Duke compliments Irom all par ties. The London representative of the Unitvd Press learns that it is the Duke's intention to leave London for a visit to theUnited States in the course of a few weeks, taking with him only one servant. His object in making the visit is to see the country, for which he en tertains a great admiration, which his step-mother, now Lady William Bers ford, encourages. Despite the heavy rain storm which occurred, during the entertainment of Emperor William, of Germany, by the Earl of Lonsdale, II is Majesty's visit waa-.a decided suocesst On the 12th instant the Kaiser shot fifty brace of grouse. The Emperor greatly astonish ed his suite by appearing in an ordinary shooting suit instead of tbe theatrical attire that he wears on his hunting ex peditions in Qermany. This costume consists of a bearded tunic, high boots and a Tyrolean bat adorned with feath ers. These, however, His Majesty dis carded on this occasion, having ordered from a London tailor two hundred suits, grayish brown in color and of a pattern similar to the Prince of Wales' shooting dress. The Kaiser, it is said, has decided to adopt this costume for hunting and his example will be fol lowed by a majority of his suite. His Majesty, during his visit to Eng land, gave offense to Nasrulla Khan, the Afghan Prince who has for some ti me past been in England, by failing to ask the Prince to meet him and by not sending him any message or letter. The position of the Prince excites pub lic curiosity. It is known that he has received an almost unlimited number of hints from the Queen to leave Eng land, and that she has told him that he need not again visit any member of the royal family and so Nasrulla never leaves the grounds of Dorchester House, where he is staying. The governments of the countries, also, which it was Nasrulla's intention to visit, have all politely refused to receive him. The refusal of the Sultan of Turkey has been made public. In it the Sultan states that, in compliance with a re quest of M. Nelidolf, the Russian am bassador to Turkey, he cannot receive the son of the Ameer if he should carry out his intentions to visit Turkey. Vanity Fair says it is likely Sir Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador to the United States, will be asked to succeed Sir Edward Malet as the representative of Great Britain at Berlin, and that if Sir Julian desires to remain in Wash ington, Sir Philip Currie, British am bassador at Constantinople, will be named as Sir Edward's successor. The nomination of either of the diplomats mentioned would be generally satis factory. It is announced to-day that Lord Lansdowne, Secretary of State for War, will make a statement in the House of Lords Monday in regard to the com-mandership-in-chief of the British army. The report that Field Marshal Lord Woolsley wl succeed the Duke of Cambridge as commander-in chief, is regarded as true. The question of the future leadership of the Liberal party is causing a good deal of excitement and talk in political circles. The Speaker to-day angrily denounced the action of irresponsible extremists in tryingto force themselves into a position of supremacy in the party, and says it would be thought that these persons had already done enough mischief. The paper further expands upon the latter statement, and says Lord Kosebery wasanthe minority in his owd cabinet, and was not to blame for his tactical blunders. The Speaker also devotes a leading article to a eulogy of Lord Kosebery and his speech in the House of Lord's on Thursday last, saying that the ex Premier's address shows the temper of the real leader of the Liberal party, which is certain to be re-echoed by the party itself. The Radical section, how ever, met yesterday and took a dia-i metrically opposite step. They decided to remove their committee's head quarters from the building which they have hitherto shared with the committee of the National Lib eral Federation. The committee also decided not to appoint a chairman, but almost all of them are supportersof Sir Charles Dilke, and feelers have been sent out in order to ascertain what hos tility exists to his assuming the leader ship. The prevailing feeling of bitter ness towards the leaders in the last gov ernment improves Sir Charles Dilke's chances. He has informed his col leagues that he intends to take an active part in the debates during the parlia mentary session, and is willing to for mulate a line of action, if the members of the late government refuse to do so. With the exception of Lord Rosebery, the Earl of Kimberley and Earl Spen cer, the members of Lord Rosebery's government met on Wednesday at the house of Mr. James Bryce, and it was there decided not to suggest or inspire any amendments to the address in reply to the Queen's speech, but not to hin der their followers from doing .so if they desired. Lord Salisbury, the Premier, will go next week to his villa near Dieppe, whither the Marchioness has already gone. The omcials ol the f oreign Of fice have already found the Premier and Secretary ot State to be a great trouble, after the-routining docility of Lord Kimberley, his predecessor in the foreign ministry. Unless his lordship has an appointment with some ambas sador or deputation, the officials under him never have the faintest idea as to when he is likely to arrive at or depart from his office. He enters through a side door and usually locks himself in his private room, and after carefully reading the documents requiring his at tion and making what changes are necessary in them, he works all night, but in this respect "he is not as bad as was the l&te Lord, Randolph Churchill, who, during his brief terms in the India Of fice and the Treasury, made the time between midnight and 3 o'clock bis fa vorite working hours. He also insisted upon the attendance of his staffs daring his presence, owing to his desire to be inorougniy lniormea m regard to all small matters, Rear Admiral Kirkland, TJ. s. N., commanding the European station, whenever he speaks upon the subiect. is emphatic in his condemnation of the missionaries in Turkey. He says he has found that one of the most promi nent Sunday school teachers in 6yria spent three years in the penitentiary at pittsourg, jra., ana tnat taken aitogetn er they are a bad lot. The cause of ail the trouble, Admiral Kirkland asserts. is that, relying on the protection ot the American government, the missionaries defy the local laws,' and the action of the authorities do not merit the dis patch of a warship at every appeal of the missionaries, most of which are not true. SIX ALLEGED RIOTERS GET OFF. Forsyth Court to Continue This Week Criticism of the Lease TobaccoShlp monts. Special to the Observer. Winstoji, Aug. 17. In the trial of the rioters now in progress, the State is rep resented by Solicitor Mott, Watson & Buxton and Glenn & Manly, while sev eral of the prisoners are represented by Jones & Patterson, J. S. Grogan, A. H. Eller, J. S. Fitz, J. L. Lanier and Bridgets, the three last named being the colored members of the Winston bar. Quite a number of the defendants are without counsel. A verdict of not guilty was entered to-day as to six of the defendants. A telegram was received this after noon from District Attorney Glenn, who went to Raleigh this morning as a special messenger, saying that Governor Carr granted the request for a special term of court, to begin Monday, for the trial of the rioters. This afternoon Judge Brown sen tenced Micajah Watts, one of the negro leaders of the mob, to six months on the county roads for carrying a con cealed weapon. In its report to-day the grand jury urged the necessity for build ing a new court house. In calling at tention to the report, Judge Brown en dorsed it. Deputy Collector A Is pa ugh says that he has made 99 brandy bonds in his di vision this season. He has a number of other applications. Many criticisms were heard here to day regarding the action of the direc tors of the North Carolina Railroad in leasing the road to the Southern just at this time. Winston shipped 259,000 pounds of manufactured tobacco this week. DEATH AND MARRIAGE AT MONROE. Union Has Had Fine Rains Butler and Shuford to Speak at Monroe Personal. Special to tbe Observer.

THEY MEAN BUSINESS. The Ugrcett Myers Company to Make Clsarretta The Drnmmasd People With Them Col. Fairbrother Slek. Special to the Observer. , Dubhak, Aug. 17. Mr. Albert Kramer, a prominent tobacco man here, has letter from the editor of the Western Tobacco Journalr qnoting a letter to him from the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company in which the latter say that the report that they contemplated going into the manufacture of cigarettes is correct. They say that they have for some years past kno vn that it is a grow ing and profitable business and have been for some. time quietly investigat ing the subject and formulati-oe plans. and now have the necessary machinery and raw material of all kinds contracted for and some in transit, and are fitting up one ot tneir ouuaings to be used as a citrarette factory. Special interest attaches to the letter from the fact that the New York papers state that Liggett & Myers and the Drummond tobacco people are now in New York in consultation with the Na tional Cigarette Com pang for the avow ed purpose of forming a big combina tion to fight the American Tobacco Com pan v. Col. Al Fairbrother is very sick at his home on Austin avenue, and Mr. A. Hatchett, his brother-in-law, who had made arrangements to go to Wilson to take charge of the Mirror, was advised by Mrs. Fairbrother not to leave home as they considered the patient's condition very serious. The leasing of the North Carolina Railroad has been a topic of general discussion here to-day, and the senti ment is about evenly divided pro and con. Misses Margeret Morehead and Lida Carr and their party are expected to land this evening in New York and to come home at once. THE COLUMBIA CLUB RAIDED. The Private Liquors of Members Seized by Constables and Carted Off. Columbia, S. C, Aug. 17. This after noon three State dispensary constables, Speed, Davis and LaFar, assisted by two police officers, armed with a search warrant issued by an administration trial justice, visited the rooms of the Columbia Club, and going into all the private lock-boxes, in which the mem bers keep their liquor for their personal use, seized every bottle of it, together with all the glasses, spoons, bitters and other appliances in the room. One of the members, Mr. M. C. Robertson, who took a bottle of fine whiskey that belonged to him and poured it all over the floor in the presence of the consta bles, was arrested, but later released upon his own recognizance. The club is one of the most exclusive social or ganizations of gentlemen in the State, and some of the most prominent men in Columbia are members. They have Dot allowed a di-op of liquor to be sold on the premises since the liquor law went into effect, but adopted the lock box system. Several declare their in tention of bringing proceedings against the raiders immediately in the United States Court for contempt in seizing liquor intended for private use only, in violation of Judge Simonton's injunc tion. A curious crowd blockaded the pavement in front of the building to watch the constables bring the liquor down and put it in adispensary delivery wagon. FARMKRS' INSTITUTE IN ANSON.

Rows Between Brice and Anti-Brice Forces in a County Convention. Cleveland, O., Aug. 17. There was a big row and nearly a tree tight be tween the Brice gold and the anti-Brice silver men in the Cuyahoga county Democratic convention here to-day. After the anti-Brice men had won a signal victory on the election of a chair man a motion was made that the chair man appoint a committee' of seven to name the deleeates to the State conven tion at Springfield next week. This precipitated the fight. The Brice gold men .howled and stormed "and finally withdrew from the convention and elected delegates of their own. Ex- Attorney General of Ohio James Law rence led the Brice forces and Alfred Whittaker the anti-Brice people. Law rence called Whittaker adamned scoun drel and the two leaders nearly came to blows.

Reported for the Observer. States villk, Aug. 17. The con ven tion yesterday evening was opened by prayer by Kev. S. W liatton. Kev. J S. Moffatt lead in a praise service, the Congregation singing several psalms. Tbe first paper was by Miss Mattie Boyce, of Tampico, Mexico, on "Spirit ual Development. spiritual develop ment is no more miraculous than phys ical development. As physical devel opment is a result of food and exercise, so spiritual development comes by eating, doing and praying. Miss Boyce is a returned missionary from Mexico. Mr. W. C Crosby, of Bigbyville, Tenn., spoke next on "The Field to be Cultivated." Mr. Crosby pointed out the grand possibilities of the work in the West and plead for an increase of effort along that line. He also advo cated a better understanding among denominations that the work might go on more vigorously and with less fric tion. Mr. J. M. Knox, of Huntersville, spoke next on the nursery of the church, the Sunday school. Every church should have one. The Sunday school properly managed may be used as a check to tbe flood of bad literature now Hooding the country. Charlotte, Pisgah, S. C, Old Provi dence, Va., and Hopewell, Tenn., were put in nomination for the next meet ing. After a good deal of skirmishing Charlotte was selected. THIS MORNING'S 8ESSION Was opened by a prayer service con ducted by lie v. C. E. Todd. Prayer was offered for the success of missions by Rev. Messrs. Atkins, Bonner and Dale. Rev ll.-G. Miller spoke on "The Needs of the West." He urged the necessity for missions in the cities and plead earnestly for an increase in con tributions to the work in the West. Rev. C. E. Todd wants the young people to take the work in the West un der their own care. Rev. O. Y. Bonner heartily endorsed this plan. Mr. M. M. Ross thought that if some plan could be suggested for the work the young people will enter heartily into the matter. No action on this matter, howeyer, was taken by the convention. Rev. W. J. Wishart, of Allegheny, Pa., general secretary of junior work in the United Presbyterian Church, next addressed the convention. Mr. Wishart spoke of the existing social and religious condi tions, in the large cities more especially. Bellamyism, Ueorgeism and the like will not solve the problem. Applied Christianity is the only solution. The world needs young peopie at their best and needs them organized. It is proba ble that the organization of young peo ple just at the time, when the mutter ings of discontent are growing louder, is providential. These questions are being transmitted to the twentieth cen tury for settlement. Those who are now young people will be called upon to settle them. Mr: Wishart in closing transmitted the Chr stian greetings of the United Presbyterian young people to the convention. Upon the motion, the president whs requested to thank the United Presby terian messengers, Rev. Messrs Dale and Wishart, for their presence, speeches and kind greetings. Mr. Vishart was requested to carry tidings of brotherly love and Christian fellow ship to the United Presbyterian young people who meet in Columbus, Ohio, next week. The president complied with the wishes of the convention in quite a neat little speech. On a motion advocated vigorously by Hon. D. E. Finley, of Yorkville, S. C. the convention decided to make an ef fort to raise $1,000 to build a church at Rock Hill, S. C. THE AFTERNOON SESSION Was opened with prayer led by Rev. D. Q. Caldwell, of Erskine College. A praise service was conducted by Rev. O. Johnson, of Leslie, S. C. The first thing on the programme was by Rev. O. Y. Bonner on "Four En couraging Signs of the Times in Our Missionary Work." The first, he said, was the opening for the work. The people want the gospel. Second, the school work is encouraging. The suc cess of missionary schools is one of the wonders of Church work. Third, the number of Church workers in Mexico: three ministers, six native male work ers, six lady workers from this country and three native female workers. Fourth, the widespread interest in the work among the Church membership. "Nothing," the speaker declared, "is so dear to the hearts of the A. R P. people as their missionary work." Miss Macie Stevenson, of Tampico, Mexico, read a paper on the sub ject, "Does Romanism Prepare for the Ueception ot ital Christianity ? Roman Catholicism in Mexico is not like it is in the United States. Roman Catholicism has the essentials of Chris tianity but the truth is so buried under superstition and mystery that it fails of its upnrting effect. They are taught to hate the Bible. No sentiment exists in favor of temperance except that which is the result of Protestantism. They have hotrsetiold gods and from all this Miss Stevenson concludes that Catholic ism does not prepare the way for vital Christianity. The question of an organ was next taken up and the following plan adopted: 1. That this convention adopt a dis tinctive organ: 2. That this convention elect a board of control of five members, whose duty it shall be to secure an editor and busi ness manager to operate this organ as a private enterprise. Kev. U. It. White, lion. D. E. rrhley, W. T. Bradley, L. J. Echols, Mrs. A. G. Brice, - were constituted the board of control. HOTEL. Major Baird is a genial, composed and self-possessed presiding omcer. Kev. Messrs.

Watson Reid takes great in terest in the labors of the convention. He frequentlyasets it right on parlia mentary questions. Mr. L. M. McAllister is a good direc tor. Leastwise, all the people sing and sing well. Kev. u. u. cam wen s presence is a great pleasure to his former parishion ers and friends. They Cant Go. Frankfort, Kj., Aug: 17.
