THE DRIFT IN NORTH CA RoLINA.
Probable Outcome of the Democratic
State Convention to Meet This Week.

Probable Outcome of the Democratic
State Convention to Meet This Week.
RALEIGH, July 2.-The Democratic State
Convention which assemblies in this city next
Wednesday, July 5, will adopt the color
line issue upon which to fight the coming
political war. The coalitionists, the Bour-
county government and Prohibition issues,
and the Democrats think their strongest
card will be to arouse the prejudice and pas
sions of the white people against the negro.
Colonel T. C. Fuller is now preparing the
speech that is to be made by him on that
occasion in the advocacy of those measures
which he and the Bourbons think will have
the desired effect.
Judge Risden Tyler Bennett will doubtless
receive the nomination Tor Congressman-at-
Large. He is now holding a special term of
Wake Superior Court in this city. He is a
strong man, but he cannot command his in
fluence or the votes of the Ku-klux element
of the party. Having been one
himself he afterwards, as member
of the Legislature, voted against the amnesty
act that restored the ex-ku-klux to citizeI-
ship and extended to them pardon. By this
action he incurred the everlasting displeasure
of his former associates, who will not lift an
arm in aid of his election, If the majority
of them do not vote against him outright.
1t is rumored here to-day that Judge d. c.
Fowle, one of the ablest men in the Bour-
bon party, who has been badly treated by
the "machine" and who was a good second
in the race for the Gubernatorial nomination
in $780, will renounce Bourbonism and join
the Coalitionists.

there will be 10000 troops present, COM
posed OF military organizations from this
and adjoining States. Governors, Senators,
prominent divines, as well as masters
among mechanics will assist in the opening
ceremonies. 1t is likely President Arthur
will attend, as he contemplates run out to
mountains, and preparations are going on
among the bonanza kings to receive him.
There will be ample accommodations for all
who are drawn here by the exposition, and
If there should not be 1t would not take the
enterprising ones of Denver long to provide
them.
For the purpose of encouraging
TRAVEL TO THE EXPOSITION
the railroad companies have decided to re-
duce rates for tourist tickets from the Mis-
souri, river (Omaha or Kansas City, to the
Exposition, including Pueblo and Colorado
Springs, which latter place is only five miles
from Maniton, the foot of Pixies Peak.
Many people are hoping to see some OF their
Eastern friends during the Exposition, and
If any of them do come l advise them to
leave trade dollars at home and bring no
change smaller than a five-cent piece, as
that Is the smallest coin in practical use
here. A trade dollar is taken for 80 cents
at Kansas City, but they grumble here if
they have to give 75 cents for one. They
don't want them at any price. Buzzards
pass all right, and the more you have of
them the better.

SHARKS IN THE BAY.
Another Big Fish Yarn from the
'Rec0rd''-SharISs and Bluefish.

philadelphia Record
eyes, sir, sharks as big as a man, right
in the wake of our boat" said Captain Will
halns, of the tug Leader, who had just come
up from Milton, Delaware, with one of Coy
ernor Halls new schooners in tow. "They
followed us for some time" continued the
tugboatman, ''and really seemed to be
anxious to get chance to chaw up one of
our men," The sharks were first seen at
the mouth of the Mispillion creek, and after
ward came out into the bay, where they
struck a great school of bluefish, whom
they drove for miles down toward the
Breakwater. The bluefish ran like flash
before their dreaded enemy, but could not
entirely get out of the way, and there was a
constant flash on the bosom of the river as
the white-bellied bluefish threw themselves
in the air to escape the capacious maws of
their relentless pursuers.
The sharks could be plainly seen as they
ran down behind the immense swarm of
smaller fish. Some of them were as large
as a man, and most of them as big as stur-
geon. They ran along with the tide, making
great wake behind them. The school of
bluefish was "A mile wide and extended as far
as the eye could reach to the South. The
tug and schooner passed through a great
space of water covered with dead bluetish
which the sharks had cut into pieces, and
the mangled bodies floated for miles on the
surface of the bay A portion of the school
of sharks followed the tug quite distance up
the river, as though tired Of bluetish and
hankering after some human flesh. "If
one of us had fallen overheard" said Cap
tain Williams, set would have been the last
of him, and we all kept as far from the
waters edge as possible"
The sharks did not disappear until the
tug had made many miles up the bay, and
finally went off to chase school of trout,
their course being plainly marked by the
suface disturbance on the water, as the
trout fled before their pursuers. ~

THE sTRIKERs CoNFIDENT.
Freight Handlers Expecting Immediate
Success-The Companies Apparently
still Firm


Success-The Companies Apparently
Still Firm.
New YORK, July 2.-The freight handlers
formerly employed by the Erie railroad on
its North river piers met at 475 Pearl street
this afternoon. They were all dressed in
Sunday clothes, some of them accom-
panied by their children. The meeting was
large one. Daniel Hayes presided. The
president of the executive council of the
Freight-handlers' Union, jeremiah Murphy,
was present, and addressed the strikers.
"The people, he said, ''admire the manly
and dignifed stand you have you have taken
in the cause of labor. Ours is nothing less
than crusade against tyranny. The rail-
Ioad companies do not make issue on the
three cents they know that there is prin-
ciple behind it-that we intend to be free
men in the future. We are fighting govern
ment more powerful than that of the
United States, government of railroads"
Mr.. Murphy praised the men for their
orderly and sober demonstrations during tho
past week, and entreated them to continue
TO act in manner that would lend dignity
to their strike and get them the good will of
all reputable people. In conclusion, he in
vited the men to attend in body the recep-
tion to be given to Michael Davitt, in Union
Square, on Wednesday evening.
A Sabbath stiffness hangs over most of
the New York city freight piers and depots.
Only at the Thirty third street freight house
of the Hudson River railroad were there
any signs of activity. About so Italians
were there, endeavoring to reduce the
accumulation of freight. About 200 boxes
of decaying cabbage were piled in the old
Manhattan market 1t is thought that the
Italians who have been recently working in
the places of the strikers will not return to
work on Monday. Delegations from their
striking country men have visited them and
explained the situation to them.
The striking freight handlers at Jersey
City remained inactive to-day. Some of
them lounged about Hamilton Square, en-
ioying the shade and discussing the situa-
tion with their friends. They seem to be
convinced that the railroads will eventually
accede to their demands, and some of them
expect that the concession asked for will be
made this morning. The representatives of
the companies, however, deny that they
have any intention of yielding or of com
promising. They profess that they are
getting their work done satisfactorily by the
new hands.

CAMERON SCARED.
Coming to the Conclusion That He Had
Better Unite with the Independents.

Coming to the Conclusion That He Had
Better Unite With the Independents.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-There is every
evidence at the Republican headquarters Of
panic. Senator Cameron is represented as
being very much frightened, and Col. Quay
does not attempt to hide his anxiety. Even
the hopeful Cooper, chairman of the Senate
CommitteS feels that something must be
done or the election of Pattison by the
Democrats is insured. The leaders are COM
ing to their senses. They find very popu-
lar young Democrat at the head of the
ticket, and they see no signs of
wagering among the Independents.
They have also learned that Boss
McManes went to Harrisburg the other
day and told Gov Hoyt that if he would
come out and lead the movement against
Cameron all the machinery in the grasp of
McManes should be used to squelch the
Cameron ticket. Gov. Hoyt wouldn't
promise, but the Stalwarts have learned that
McManes will do his best to defeat Beaver.
In this emergency the State has been sum-
moned to meet on July IL, and at that meet
ing efforts will be made to unite the Repub-
lican party. just what will be done is not
known. 1t is said however, that the Stall
warts will make all sorts of propositions to
the Independents, including one to hold an
entirely new convention. There is some
talk that Beaver and the rest of the
ticket will be withdrawn, but it may be set
down as a fact that if this is done it will not
be with the consent of Cameron. There are
stories ahoat that the State Committee will
even force Cameron into the background,
throw him overheard if necessary, make all
necessary concessions, ,and come to the terms
of the Independents. The only thing that
the Independents will listen to is the entire
wiping out of the Beaver ticket and new
convention, with the understanding that not
man on the ticket shall be renominated,
and the ignoring of Cameron. This may
possibly be done.
1t is confidently predicted by the Stalwarts
that there will be but one Republican ticket
in the field in November. If this is to be
the case, it will only be accomplished by the
complete overthrow of Cameron and the
withdrawal of the Beaver ticket. A united
Republican party alone can beat Pattison,
and it is very doubtful if he can be beaten
under any circumstances.

COLORADO SPRINGS, July "A destruc-
tive waterspout visited this section last even
ing, the centre of the storm being Manitou
Springs, in which place every house was
more or less damaged. The water came
down from the mountains through Williams,
Ructon and Ute Pass canons, forming wall
eight feet high and sweeping everything
before it. During the day several parties Of
excursionists had gone up these canons, and
1t is feared that several have persisted.
One body washed down Williams Canon,
swept past the hotel and lodged in the float
wood. An omnibus filled with passengers
for the train was swept from the street and
dashed high on the rocks. The occupants
escaped with slight injuries. Four hotels
were more or less injured and horses and
cattle were swept away. Hailetones
measuring Ii inches fell, breaking windows
and destroying shrubbery. Over a mile of
track of the Denver g. Rio Grande railroad
was washed away and the wagon bridges
between Manitou and Colorado Springs are
gone The loss is placed at $75, 900. s.t
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-A dispatch from
Bakersfield says that the Indian settlement
in TETON Canon was destroyed by a flood
caused by cloud-burst in the neighboring
mountains. Several persons were drowned
and many injured by drift timber. The
farmers lower down the valley are supposed
to have suffered heavy.

Hundreds Of N1illions for penmons.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-From a memoran-
dun recently compiled by the Commissioner
of Pensions it appears that the actual
amount paid for pensions on account of the
late war to March l, 1882, is $500, ,7S1 $50.
1t is estimated that there are now on the
pension roll the names of 900 pensioners
of the late war. This does not include
10000 (estimated) service pensions on
account Of the war of 1872. Estimating the
disbursements for May and June, the total
paid for pensions during the current fiscal
year will not vary much from $65, ,000,0O0.
On April 1, 1882, there were on file 217, ,162
pending claims, which, if allowed, would be
entitled to arrears estimated at S2l4 $3.50, 800.
There are So, 179 pending claims which were
filed subsequent to the limitation imposed
by the Arrears act.S If the two classes just
referred to should be at once added to the
roll, it would increase the annual value of
pensions S24, 800, 900, which, added to the
present annual value, would make S54,-
100000.
