any other. We will tell you. When

The bill to remit the penalties on
Ghe dynamite cruiser Vesdvius then
came up. MIR. Sayers (Tex) oppose
the bill, He read letter from the
chief Of the bureau of ordnance, which
he said showed the Vesuvius abso-
lutely worthless for the purposes for

morning hour expired and the bill
went over.
MIR Cultivate presented an order
Tor the consideration of the McCreary

UNION PACIFIC RRCEIvRRsHIP.
President Clark will Remain in Charge Of
the Road as Receiver.


OMAHA, Oct. 13-S. HI. A. Clark has
just been appointed receiver OF the
Union Pacific Railroad company.
President Clark this afternoon said:
The bill for receiver was not unex-
pected as careful student of railroad
operation the past few months must
necessarily conclude after review of
the startling decrease in gross and net
earnings which Western roads have
suffered. With the possibility of de-
fault in payment of interest staring us
in the face, the only thing to be done
to keep the property intact was to file
a bill of complaint praying for receiv-
ers and ask the court to intervene.
The property will be managed fer the
best interests of all concerned. Be-
yond this there is little to say, court
now having taken the road under its
protection.
The present action virtually con-
tinues the same management, giving
it additional sanction and authority OF
the court to operate the properties for
the real interest of all creditors and
stockholders. The court selected Clark
and Mink on account of their we'll
known familiarity with the property
and confidence of stock holders and
creditors in them. The important in
terest Of the government in the prop
erty is represented by the third re-
ceiver, Elery Anderson. whom Presi-
dent Cleveland recently appointed
government director. The bonds OF
the receivers are $50 900 each
December 1, 1899. the company had
outstanding bonds and notes for $97,-
6S2 1876, Of which $S5 400, 035 were
afloat. Subsidy indebtedness to the
government was not included in the
amounts named. There is coming due
interest on subsidy bonds of about
$l8,000,000. besides principal. The
liabilities of the company
April 90, including capital
stock and surplus $345, 43l, 041.92 The
bill alleges that defendant is indebted
for labor and material 81, 500 900. or
Ihereabouts, on which If not paid, the
company is liable to innumerable
suits, attachments and judgments;
that for the business year ending Dec.
81, 1892, the surplus for said year was
2,089 1855 IA, while for only eight
months, ending Aug 81, 1893, there
has been failing off in net revenues
of about $2,58S, 900. Concluding, the
bill alleges that defendant company is
insolveut and cannot. without appoint
IDent Of q receiver as prayed for, avoid
becoming further involved.

COTTON CIRCULAR.
McElroy Co. on the Condition Of the
Market.


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13.-McElroy
q Go. say:
Futures-The main feature today
has been the inaction Of the senate in
reference to the repeal bill. Liverpool
gave us all the encouragement that
could be desire in its refusal to follow
our decline of yesterday and especial
ly in the activity Of spots, sales OF
which reached the largest total for
many months past-l7, 00O-at 1-16d
advance Even though discouraged
by reports from this side that market
closed only to 2-C4 lower.
There is no doubt that a great deal
OF new business hangs upon the action
OF the senate. The repeal Of the Sher-
man law Is demanded by the country
aud until the senate shall have in some
manner taken this statute of the
books OF the nation we cannot expect
a proper expansion of our country's
energy Undoubtedly some compro-
mise will be arrived at which will re-
lieve US OF our present distress.
Receipts will fail to indicate a crop
much in excess OF last year, the total
for the week being 1858, 900 against 1885,
600 last year, while the total at interior
towns and ports is no greater than a
year ago. As Liverpool is reported
to be quite bullishly inclined,
we should not be surprised
to see that market show consid-
cradle steadiness under the influence
of the small movement. Gables re-
port trade excellent and spinners en-
gagged for some time ahead and IL is
difficult for anyone who is short to
look complacently upon the failure
OF the movement to equal the very
small crop Of last year. Spots here
have bee" ", although the sales
emo d, as yesterday, the total
being % al u prices. A feature
which Use emporary depression
was the sti Of prominent ex-
porting new CHI places the yield
1T 1906 II mi am, but its effect
was only 10 B, I'd temporary. Our
market clCeed nc practically the same
price az yesterday.

AMUSEMENT rs.

Tho Westerner" gave very satisfac-
tory performance at the Academy of
Music last night. The audience was
not as large as it should have been, but
it was friendly ono and the different
characters were we'll rende Tered. The
Westerner" is not picture of tho wild
West as its name infers, but treats OF the
experience OF young Western man in
New York, who sticks to his friends
through thick and thin and finally sue
ceeds in saving his fathers friond from
ruin. The third and fourth acts were
particularly strong and worked the
audience up to a high degree of enthus-
iasm.
The company on the whole is q good
one. Miss Pauline Willard, as Mario
Lawton, and Joseph Gibbs, as James
Enroll, tho Westerncr, the two princi-
pal characters of tho performance,
maintained their parts very we'll. Mr..
Gibbs has an unfortunate habit Of max.
ing too many gestures with his arms,
but outside of this his acting was good.
Albert Vivardo, as Andrew Burke, sus.
tanned his difficult character in a mas.
terlY manner. Tho other members of
the cast were also good. A new cleo
trical arrangement has been put in
whereby the gas in the house can be
lighted by electricity.

Y. NJ. C. a. NOTES.

The railroad department Of the Young
Mems Christian, Association held meet
ing at the West End Wednesday night.
The meeting was attended with deep
spiritual interest, and an engineer
sought the Lord. A Bible reading will
be held at the same place Friday night.
On February 10 Rev. Frank Stringfel-
low will lecture here for the benefit of
the railroad department. The lecturer
bears the reputation of being one Of the
finest in the field, and everyone should
hear him.
On February 10 the ladies' auxiliary
will give musical and literary enter
tainment for the same purpose. Great
care is being taken in the arrangement
of the programme, and the entertain
ment will doubtless be success.
On the night Of February 0 there will
be formal opening of tho Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium in this city. Several young
men Of the physical department will give
some work in systematic body building
Members of the classes and the physical
director OF tho Lynchburg association
will be here. The event will be much
enjoyed by the lovars of such sport.

ANNEXATION.

The Hawaiian revolu ton has brought
out more prominently than ever before
the fact that the annexation sentiment
in tho Hawaiian Islands is it's controll-
ing sentiment. Four-fifths of the prop
erty of those islands is owned by Ameri
cans. The capital, the industries, the
commerce Of the islands is controlled in
the United States.
1t looks as though the policy of an,
neXation which made brilliant the
Democratic administrations and the
later presidents, which gave us Louisi-
ana, Florida, Texas and the Pacific
Coast, was to be again resumed. The
Sandwich Islands hold the key to tho
Pacific. The sentiment OF tho United
States from Maine to California is
strongly pronounced in favor OF the
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands.
The one protest against that annexa-
ton comes from England, but English
interests have always favored annexa-
ton when the annexation was to the
British crown. Sentiment in Congress,
too, runs strongly in favor of attaching
the islands We believe that they will
be attached, and that within the year.

The Charity Concert

Tho charity concert inaugurated by
Mayor Trout and others interested n
the amclioration of the condition of the
poor in this city will take place on
Tuesday evening, February a. at the
Academy of Music. Already the very
best musical talent Of Roanoke has been
secured and is being rehearsed for this
purpose under the direction of Prof. p
c. Leary. In addition to other attrac-
tons the Roanoke Machine Works Band
will render several selections. In order
to enable all classes OF people to assist
in this worthy enterprise the manage
ment have decided to fix the admission
at popular prices namely % and 80
cents general admission, with the pri-
vilege of reserving seats by the payment
OF % cents additional.
1t Is probable that tho boxes will be
disposed of at private sale. Tickets
will be placed on sale at convenient
points in all parts of the city. Those
wishing to reserve seats will be enabled
to do so at Thompson's bookstore.

OUR BUILDING EDITION.

The TIMES BUILDING EDITION is
making rapid progress toward tho day
of publication. 1t will be splendid
exposition of the still more splendid
growth OF Roanoke in 1892. We believe
that 1T will forecast strong revival of
business in all branches early this sea-
son. There are plenty of signs to justify
the prediction.
No city of any considerable spirit re-
manned in condition of depression
three full years. Roanoke's stagnation
has been confined to speculative real
estate operations, and the monetary
stringcncy due to the necessarily enor.
nous use of money to pay real estate
notes, which would have otherwise re
NAMED in the regular channels of trade
Still it Will be found that the real estate
transfers of 1892 have been largely in
excess Of the demands for building lots
for that year, showing that the demands
OF the future have been anticipated to
large extent.
The plans for operations for 1893 are
still largely formative. So much de-.
ponds upon.the developments connected
with the Norfolk and Western railroad
that it is too arlY TO come down to de-
tails as to the particular effect upon the
growth OF Roanoke. In general way
1t is safe to say that the growth of Roa
noke in 1893 will not be less than in
1892 and probably considerably in excess.
AS to the increase OF the Roanoke
Machine Works forecast in THE TIMES
recently, we would ask the doub ters the
following question: If the shops were
none too large to furnish equipment
when the road extended only from
Norfolk to Bristol, with the Poca-
hontas branch as it's only considerable
oifshoot, with loss than GOO miles OF
main track, how much larger should
they be TO supply additional equipment
for the Shenandoah Valley division,
2S0 miles; the Lyacabulg ono Durham
division, li3 miles; the Winston-Salem
19i miles; the North Carolina division,
As miles; tho Clinch Valley division,
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-02-03

1o3 miles; the Ohio Extension and Scioto
Valley division, 344 miles, total In
crease in mileage Of over 500 miles, and
with coal tonnage which has doubled in
five years?
Secondly, which is better, to buy cars
from Pullman on twenty years time at
6 per cont. OF to sell 100 year bonds
bearing per cent. and build equipment
at Roanoke. There are some things
which do not need q fish plate certificate
with q car coupler to be evident.
