IBy Cable.l

LONDON, July 6.-The Emperor
William, accompanied by the Duke
of Connaught and brilliant staff,
to-day visited the Eton College.
Enormous crowds of people were
assembled about the approaches to
the handsome bridge which con-
meets Windsor with the town of
Eton. On the structure itself the
crowds of people were kept in order
by the police and the soldiers Of the
Scots Guards and Grenadier
Guards, who formed a continuous
line from en1 to end of the bridge.
The people were liberal in their
manifestations of enthusiasm and as
the helmetted Kaiser moved along
the all-admired centre OF gorgeous
retinue he was followed out of
Windsor, across the Thames and
into Eton by volleys of cheers, and
a storm of hand-clapping. The
bridge structure was handsomely
decorated.

TIL e KAISFR'S VISIT.
1t seems To Have Deep Political
significance.
Ry Cable

LONDON, July Ga Parish d;s-
patch says that a profound impress
sion has been created there by the
enthusiasm and cordiality of the
British reception to the Kaiser. 1t
is universally regarded as a proof
that England will be found with the
Triple Alliance i'll a European
war, and France and Rnssia would
have to calculate on the hostility of
the British fleet. The public SEN
timent is very strong against
England, almost no other political
matter is topic of public dis
cussion. There is no conceal
ment of the feeling that the
odds against France and Rus
sia have been increased to degree
that arouses the greatest appre-
hension as to the possible result of
a war. and while this has many
tendency to discourage war-like agi-
tation, others urge an earl y quarrel
before the Drebunde becomes solid
ified, and while England is yet
bound by no formal agreement to
sustain the cause of the Alliance.
The answer of Russia to the re-
newal of the Triple Alliance has
been the addition of two more regi-
ments to the force in Volhynia,
near the Austrian frontier, and
increased activity in the construc-
ton of ironclads. The Russian
government, says Vienna dis
patch, is not believed to be ready
for action at this time, or likely to
be ready in the course of this year.

For years the Fourth has been
neglected here; this year though
our people were fully aroused and

never known. Two weeks ago the
citizens held a large and enthusi-
astic mass-meeting, at which 5000 !
was raised and committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Watson, McRae |
and Patterson was appointed to get |
up programme. The manner in
which this committee performed its
duty will ever be an honor to their
memory. Two cannons Of ancient
service were resurrected and at 4
a. m. began III thunder tones to re-
mind us of our Liberty and
those who gave it. At 4
p. m. a grand rally was held
in front of Watson's Hotel.
All Chapel Hill was there and many
besides,the streets were packed with
men, wild with enthusiasm; while
the porches and windows of the ho-
tel were filled with ladies, whose
patriotism was second only to their
beauty. AS soon as he could make
himself heard, Mr.. F. II. Argo in

He was followed by Messrs. Alexan-

The cyclone passed over the

trees and carrying missiles along the
air for many blocks. The Gov

a clean sweep of every chimney and
cleared the front lawn Of its large
trees. The roof of handsome resi-
dence, belonging to Mr.. Marsh,
was carr led away and other damage
done to the place.
The boulevard is one mass OF
trees that have been torn up by the

pieces of house tops and other tim.

The penitentiary walls were blown

thirty wounded. The factory
