Raleigh. N. C, Sept. 23. J
The railroad commission has made a
great change in the freight on cotton
which is to go into effect on the 1st of
October, It will be the lowest rate in the
Union. It Is as follows per 100 lb: Five
miles-9 cts.; 10 miles 9 eta.; 15 miles 11
cts. ; 20 miles 13 cts.; 25 miles 14 cts.; 30
miles 15 cts.; 85 miles 10 cts.; 40 miles 17
cts.; 45 miles 18 cts.; 50 miles 19 cts.; 00
miles 21 cts.; 70 miles 22 cts,; 80 miles 23
cts.; 90 miles 24 cts.; 100 miles 25 cts.;
120 miles 27 cts.; 130 miles 28 cts.; 150
miles 80 cts.; 160 miles 81 cts.; 200 milcB
35 cts. These rates do not affect Raleigh
much as a very low rate was already in
force for here.
In the matter of the lease of the peni
tentiary, Mr. Winder says that he can
not accept for the company he represents
the conditions imposed on the lessee,
and so unless they are much modified no
lease will be made. These conditions
demanded absolute control of the insti
tution by the Republican party so far
as the employment of officials and as
sistants, and many other unreasonable
demands.
The tcity treasurer, Mr. Joseph G.
Brown Ims issued a circular asking for
bids on the $50,000 city bonds to be is
sued, The bids are to be opened Oct.
12th. No bid for less than 105 will be
considered.
Adjutant General Cowlcs has issued
general order No. 12, announcing Jthe
death of Lt. W. J. Griffin of the Naval
Reserves and orders the usual badge of
mourning to be used on left arm and
sword hilt of the officers of the Stute
Guard for 30 days.
In the institutions for the white blind

Mr. Chas. A. Cookjof Warren did not

Governor Russell has reprieved Lumm
Iluynes of Columbus county until Nov
ember 5th in order for him to produce
evidence at the Fctober term of court in
regard to accessories to the murder for
which he was about to be hung.
Stewart Bros., ex State printers, have
about $6,000 worth of State paper. Mr.
Guy V. Barnes who is now State printer.
was sent to Winston to get the paper
This the Stewart Bros, declined to de
liver. Thus comes a clash between the
State Auditor and the ex-State, prinleis
that promises to be interesting. Stewart
Bros, declined to deal with any one in
regard to the paper except through their
attorney, and he was out of town.

The news of the death of the Hod.
Walter E. Faison formerly of Clinton,
N. C, but who has been in the Govern

was heard here with much regret.
The Superintendent of the peniten
tiary shows a financial report as follows.
Bills audited $19,171.23; accounts not
audited 18,736.17; fertilizers, about
818,000; borrowed from the State treasury
$15,000. Total indebtedness $53,007.40.
A little variation may be found as some
bills possibly are not in. Earnings since
April 1st. Amount of deposits $16,927.59
amount due from all sources $3,000.
There arises a question as to how the
$10,000 was borrowed as auditor Ayer
says no warrant bad been issued Super
intendent Smith and that the Treasurer
must have issued the money under the
act of 1891. There is no act of 1897
making any appropriation.
Dr. R. H. Lewis Secretary of the State
board of health writes Governor Russell

INTERVENTION IN CUBA.

Madrid, September 28 General Wood
ford has represented to the Duke of
Tetuan the gravity of the condition of
Cuba and requested, in behalf of the
United States, that would find a method
of speedily ending the war and giving
justice to the. Cubans. He offered the
good offices of the United States iu effect
ing a settlement to the Cuban troubles,
which practically gives Spain an oppor
tunity of gracefully ending the war. If
she does not embrace it within a reason
able time, notice will be given that the
United States must interfere, though
General Woodford has not said so yet.
Spain cannot expect the aid of Euro
pean powers, as the United States am
bassadors have ascertained that all the
European countries, except Austria,
recognize that the interests of the United
States justify the latter's interference in
Cuba. Austria, in this matter, is in
fluenced by the relationship between the
two dynasties, the Queen Regent of
Spain being an Austrian archduchess,
but lt is not likely that Austria will take
any part in the question beyond possibly
making a diplomatic protest against the
intervention of the United States.

TROUBLE AHEAD.
Jnpantae Buldlera In Hawaii Being
Landed Under ibe Qulae of Labor
era There.
San Francisco, September 22. When
the City of Peking arrived at Honolulu
on her last trip from Hong Kong, the at
tention of the other passengers on board
the steamer, was attracted by the re
markably symmetrical movements of
174 Japanese passengers in the steerage,
who were disembarking. Although
classed as laborers, their well drilled and
military appearance was too palpable to
escape observation, and occasioned con
siderable comment.
The Japanese were apparently under
the command of a veteran sergeant, and
divided into squads of twenty, under
non-commissioned officers. During the
voyage a military discipline was observ
ed, which created- comment among the
other steerage passengers and the stfcani
ers crew, and many conjectures were
hazarded as to the meaning of their
being shipped to the islands.
It was generally believed that they
were sent there for the purpose of forci
bly resisting annexation, if necessary.
Rumors of the presence of the Mikado's
soldiers are not new on the islands. It
is said that over one thousand well drilled
men have already been landed, and
about four hundred veterans of the Japanese-Chinese
war are expected on the
next steamer.

Washington, September 22 Orders
have been issued for the lighthouse ten
der Maple to convey the new Diamond
Shoal lightship to her station on Septem
ber 30. This ship comes within the dis
trict commanded by Captain Lnmbcrton
of the Maryland division, who sent the
Maple to New York today to accompany
the new light vessel to her station. The
captain of this craft will be the assistant
light keeper at Cape Charles, and bis
crew will all be experienced men. There
has been a long and vigorous controversy
over the practicability of u lightship
standing the weather and sands ot Dia
mond Shoal, and the lighthouse hi Bird
has been divided on the question. The
one officer who lias absolute confidence in
the ability of a vessel to weather the
gales and stand the force ot the sands is
the secretary, Captain Wilde, who is
willing to risk his reputation that the
ship will hold in the stillest gales.
The weather is severely cold in Paris,
and there have been heavy snowfalls in
several Departments. Eighteen inches
of snow has fallen at Craponne, in the
department at Haute Loire. In the de
partment of Yonne, snow has fallen, the
earliest on record.
