DELAY IN PUBLICATION.
Governor Carr Requests the Return of His
Paper on North Cardinals Resources.

Governor Carr Requests the Return of His
Paper on North Cardinals Resources
RICHMOND, July 19.-Col. John Bell
Bigger Yesterday received letter from
Governor Carr, of North Carolina, asking
to withdraw his paper setting forth the
resources Of his State, which was to have
been published in the forthcoming work
issued by the governors of the Sou thern
States. His request was complied with.
Governor Cars reason for re calling his
paper is, he explains, on account of the
delay in publishing the work, which has
been caused by the hardness of the ex-
ecutives of the Southern States in send
ing their manuscript here. 1t is as
sumed that Governor Carr will probably
have his paper printed and sent out as a
separate publication. 1t is believed to
be one of the most interesting prepared
by any of the States that contributed TO
tho book which was proposed to be issued.
The bids for printing the pamphlet of
the Southern governors were to have
been opened at noon to-day by Colonel
Bigger. The withdrawal of Governor
Cars article necessitates postpone
ment. The whole matter has been re.
ferred to Governor McKinny, who, with
Governor Fishback, of Arkansas, and
Colonel Bigger compose the committee
on publication named by the convention
which met here last April.

MARKHAM TEsTIFiES.
His Official Dispatches to the Admiralty
Read Before the Court

Rehu Beforo the court.
VALLETA, Malta, July 19.-The first
witness to-day before the Victoria court
martial was Rear Admiral Markham,
whose flag was flying on the Camper
down at the time she run into and sank
the Victoria. His official dispatches to
the admiralty reporting the facts and
details Of the disaster were read and he
stated that he had something to add to
these dispatches.
He said that he had conferred with his
flag lieutenant and captain and that
both concurred in his assumption that
the Victoria was to pass round on the
outside Of the Camperdown. This as
sumption had been founded on the fact
that the manHuvre would have been
attended by no danger. When he dis
covered that his assumption was wrong
he watched the Victoria's helm signal
with the closest attention. The rear
admiral stated he was cognizant of
Vice Admiral Tryon's memorandum in
regard to discretionary obedience Of
orders when strict obedience would en-
tail disaster.

BASEBALL NEWS.
New and Strong Material Sc.
cured for the Home Club.

ID. L. Smith, the famous first base.
man of the University Of Virginia team,
will play first base for Roanoke in its
games with the Y. M. c A. He Ia o
phenomenal player and m ade asensat ton
at Chicago, knocking out three home
runs, and catching s. foul that ghost
couldn't reach. In this connection the
management intends to clean out teams
and bystanders at the first base line.
In every game balls are interfered with
there and fouls missed which could be
got at in clear ground. The rope should
be run in at the near end of the grand
stand.
There Is enough strong material in
Roanoke which can be obtained by the
management to make two strong teams
and by playing them and promoting
strictly on form and points nine could
be selected that would hold the State.
President Robertson means business.
The team is being worked now to bring
up it's batting; its weakest point. OF
viewed in the light OF experiments.
We think that Meade will not prove as
successful at short as Foster. He does
not field the ball as quickly, though he
may be shade steadier. In the last
game with Bluefield Meade made six
assists, but it was due to the general
tendency OF clubs this year to drive
towards third from the pitcher being
put back. Third base in all clubs is
pushing shortstop closely in assists.
The Charlestons have autographed to
secure dates at Roanoke, and we NAV
have Lynchburg here also next week.
Charleston is playing great ball, and
defeated Staunton Tuesday in a hot
game.
The management is seriously con-
templating an increase in the price of
admission. Lynchburg and several of
the other towns are fifty cent towns.
The club is even now behind financially,
and to give good ball has got to have
the wherewithal. We would suggest
fifty cents ticket, or three admissions
for dollar would be fair. The grand
stand would stand fifteen cents; twenty.
five is the rule in all the league cities.
There is so much trouble about get
ging the cars out in time a the close of
the game, that it would be good idea
to display red flag on the grand stand
at the end of the seventh inning. That
would give the Street Car Company half
an hour to mass their cars. 1t would
give them good many dollars and
please the public.
The following is the makeup of the
home teams in both games:

The Republican! Party on the
Money! Question.

The following from the republican
platform, adopted at Minneapolis, June
9th, 1892, shows that the republican
party is a bimetallic party. Read it
carefully, O my brethren, who accuse
the republicans of being monometallic
gold bugs:
"The American people, from tradi-
tion, and interest, favor bimetallism,
and the republican party demands the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money, with such restrictions and un-
der such provisions, to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the main
tenance Of the parity of values of the
two metals, so that the purchasing an
debt-paying power of the dollar, whether
of silver, gold or paper, shall be at ali
times equal. The interests of the pro-
ducers of the country, its farmers and
its workingmen, demand that every dol
lar, paper or coin, issued by the govern
ment shall be as good as any other"
