The construc tion placed upon the recent utterance of Colonel Roosevelt that he would be ' willing to accept the Republican nomination ' next i time provided the Republican party accepted his political creed has very violently stirred the offi cials of the Bull Moose party in Wash ington. , i . They denounce this interpretationjof Colonel Roosevelt's remark in ';Re strongest terms, and following-- tnc example of their chief, hasten to nom inate, to the Ananias Club anyone who takes the liberty of drawing his own conclusions from Colonel Roosevelt's words. - , Their viewpoint seems to be that they and they -alone are the interpreters of Hheir leader, and that no matteV what he may say it is false and out rageous to interpret his sayings ex cept' as it may accord with tha opin ions, of the patriotic gentlemen who still manfully cling to the political ba k which the Colonel launched' for the last campaign.

Washington, D. C, Aug. 29. Offi cers intimately ; acquainted with the situation are authority for the state ment that the War Department is ready to mobilize at least 125,000 well trained militiamen on short notice in the event of war with Mexico. They would co-operate with 75,000 or 80,000 regulars, exclusive of the navy and the Marine Corps. Plans for the mobilization and equip ment of a big army on short notice were effected months ago, and it is declared that recent tests' at the War Depart ment showed every detail of the system to b: in fine working order. Mili tiamen all over the country have been instructed in the Mexican situation, According, to those who have given the question thought and who have talked with army officers, the War Department stands ready to order out the organized militia in every State in the Union. These troops would be hurried to a point selected for mobiliza tion, the companies put on a war footing as to strength, equipped for field service and rushed to the front as needed. The Government is declared to be in a position to equip immediately an army of from 50,000 to 1,000,000 men, including those now in the ser vice. ' . Under the law making the organizea - . . . . . . , militia a first line of defense to the reg ular army, the President is without power to order a regiment into foreign territory. All he could do, it was explained, is to order the organizations to the border, at which point the men would be given the opportunity of volunteering tor foreign service. The recruiting stations of the regular afmy are busy with recruits. It was stated that it was not d'-e entirely to the prospect of war with Mexico. "If men are out of work," said a re cruiting officer, "we get plenty of re cruits. If, on the other hand work is plentiful and wages good, business is not so brisk with us." DREDGE BURNED.

New Bern is to have two circuses this fall, one of these, Barnum and Bailey circus, is the largest aggregation of the kind in the world and the other, Young Buffalo Bill's Show, is larger than any which has visited this city in many years. The latter aggregation, which carries more than six hundred people with it, will exhibit here on September 16 and within a day or two the advance advertising car will arrive and a small army of billposters will begin their work of plastering the surrounding country with lithographs. Such a large circus as Barnum and Bailey's does not usually stop at cities having a population less than twenty-five or thirty thousand inhabi tants, tut their advance agent has been here and after looking over the city and making an investigation' as to the population of this and surrounding counties he came to the conclusion that Barnum and Bailey's aggregation would make no mistake in showing here and they will give two exhibi tions in this city on October 4. Both shows will exhibit at Ghent Park where the grounds will be accessible to the car line. P AT THE T PICTURES.; "Jack's Chrysanthemum." (Scenes taken and play portrayed in Japan.)

CI COMING KOCRftM ATHENS ODAY United States Decree - Didn'r Change it For Better, Says Independent. , CAN SEE NO IMPROVEMENT Some Of The Principal Stockhold ers Of A. T. Company Were Not Made Defendants. New York, Aug. 29. Otto S. Jona Secretary of the Independant Retail Tobacconist Association of America, has issued a statement in which ; ' among other things he says: I notice in to-day's papers an item from Washington to the effect that the Metropolitan Tobacco Company of' New York has filed a petition with the Attorney-General against the Tobacco Trust, etc., whereas, as a matter fact, such petition was filed by the Independent Retail Tobacconist As sociation against the Metropolitan To- .'.' bacco Company. Among other things th Retail Tobacconist Association say in their petition that: " 'It is a matter of common know ledge that the most effective weapon , or instrument employed by the To- bacco Trust to crush the independent manufacturers i the monopolization: of both the jobbing business and the retail trade. "By the arrangement between thi American Tobacco Company and th Metropolitan Tobacco Company they not only monopolized the jobbing busir ness in the metropolitan territory, but with the Metropolitan Tobacco Comr pany, the agent of the trust, as the only recognized jobbing house in the district, the independent manufacturer seeking to introduce his goods in ..the metroplitan market found himself al most entirely barred. Thus almost 20O old established jobbing concerns were simply forced out of business in order that the trust might control the ave nues and channels for the distribution. of tobacco produ ts, and to thus place the independent manufacturers en tirely at the mercy of the trust in the distribution of their goods in the terri tories where the trust controlled the jobbing trade. " 'Having first limited its territory to Greater New York, it has extended the field of its operations from time to time and by means of subsidiary com- ' panies and bogus independent con cerns operating as independents, but -who are in fact owned by thetMetro po itan Tobacco Company, that com pany has extended its monopoly qf (!he jobbing business to Long Island. Yonkers, New Jersey and other sec tions. Thus with the United Cigar -Stores Company on the one hand and the Metropolitan Tobacco Company on the other hand what chance is there ; for independent manufacturers or ait , independent tobacco company. "'Almost two years have elapsed since the decree of the Court for the .' distribution of the trust was entered : and yet the independent tobacco men are now suffering at the hands of the trust more than ever. "That the decree zgainst the Trust ' the Government suit has failed to ; bring about the hoped for improve ments in the tobacco industry is per haps due to the fact that some of the principal stockholders of the American. Tobacco Company before its disin- . tegration were not made defendant in the Government action and are-; therefore not bdund by any of the pro-" visions of the decree."
