THE PRESIDENT A'DUCKING.
Before Executive Aim.

BENJIE's POINT, DUCKING CLUB Nd,
March 2O.-President Harrison spent
the day between the shore and the club
house. He went into the blind at half
past seven o'clock with his doub!e-bar-
relied gun, and waited for the wary
duck. In half an hour his pa
tience was rewarded. A single pair
skinned along the water and rested
almost infront of the blind. The
executive marksman popped both bar
rels but only one bird succumbed to
to his aim. This satisfied the President
however, and he returned to the club
house, returning to the blind at ten
o'clock again, and twice during the af-
ternoon, his record for the day being
four ducks. The President, Senator
Sewell, Mr. Knight, Col. Dale, and 9th
er members of the club, dined at sever
o'clock on a part of the fruits of the
Presidents craftsmanship.

DURHAM MILLION AIRES.
Something Wonderful in the Art of
Money.making.

Money.making.
The Southern Tobacco Journal notes
that the town of Durham has six mil
lionaires-a thing which no other town
of it's size in this country can boast.
They are Messrs. J. S. Carr, Washing
ton Duke, B. L. Duke, J. B. Duke,
Geo. ". Watts and B. N. Duke. All
have made their fortunes in the smok-
ing tobacco and cigarette business.
They have made every dollar of their
fortunes themselves. They all began
life since the war with no property of
any consequence. The making of their
prlncely fortunes has resulted from pure
business methods, and these gentlemen
have all made their money within the
past twenty years.
Another thing remarkable about these
six wealthiest men in the South is that
they have made their fortunes in a
small place. Millionaires spring up
quick in Wall street and in great bust
ness centres where speculation is easy
but it happens seldom that such for
tunes are made in towns of less thar
10000 population, and by individual
and unaided effort. 1t stands without
a parallel that Durham to-day is with
out an equal in the matter of millionaire
citizens

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Secretary
Proctor has been giving his personal at

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Speaker
laid before the House to day letter
from the Secretary ~ War transmitting
the report of the 4cEississppi river COM
mission in further response to the House
resolution of March 10, relating to the
floods upon the Mississippi river. The
report is made by E. r. Compton, Col
onel of Engineers. He states that, in
bis opinion the s,s.oy1slon has has
y v4nment levees, works and plant,
so far as the same may be practicable
during the present flood, unless there
should be further heavy rains, 10 which
case $l50,O00 additional would be
needed. Thus far, though the river at
several points is higher than ever before,
but four serious breaks have been re-
ported to him, and from them the dan
ger to life is not great. But any addi-
tional rise would cause widespread dis
aster; and even as it is, the danger of
disaster is very great. In conclusion,
he says that seven steamers and many
barges could be supplied to give aid to
those in peril.

to a call. There were twenty-one Of
the thirty-nine trustees present. They
met in the rooms of the Y. M. G. A.,
and proceeded to business. During the

sition was made by Durham:
Mr.. Washington Duke formally offered
to give the institution eighty-iv thou
sand dollars in cash. Mr.. J. S. Carr
offered a tract of sixty acres of land,
known as "Blackwell Park valued at
twenty thousand dollars as a site, and
subscription of nine thousand dollars
was offered by the citizens Of Durham
with prospect of more, all to be given
to the college in case it shall be located
in that town; but this proposition is
made to hold good provided Raleigh
will release her claims to the institution
under the agreement already made with
the trustees.

three, the members Of which are Prof

and Mr.. ". F. Koruegay, to come t,
Raleigh and confer with the college
committee here to ascertain if a RELEASE
would be granted. The committee from
the board will he here to-day, aud tht
conference will probably be held
One of the trustees said las
night, that, if Raleigh should grant tn
release, there would be no doubt what
ever as to the acceptance of Durhan'
proposition.
1t is superhuons to state that Will
Raleigh would rejoice at the location Q
the college within her bounds, sh
would never think Of standing betwee
the institution aud more favorabl
proposition than she has made. So
is certain that the same moment i
which release shall be asked fror
Raleigh, she will willingly, yet regret
fully, grant 1t.

Of the 1,239 GOO people who emigrated from Germany in the last nine years 1, ,191,O ,OOO went to the United States, 14,700 to Brazil, 1G,O00 to other parts of America, 5000 to Africa, 1000 to Asia, and 1,500 to Australia. These are the German estimates; but they are lower for this country than the official returns of our Treasury Department For in stance. according to German figures, the emigration to the United States in 1889 was S4 491, whereas. according to our own official returns, it was 95,947, or II .450 above the German figures. This discrepancy is accounted for by the fact that many emigrants, in order 10 escape military service, avoid all regis try of their departure.
