sCHLEY AS A LAND FIGHTER.
Won Il Victory in Far Away Korea as
Brilliant as at Santiago.

y. assass -
The entire world knows the way
Schley fights on the watcr-few we judge
of the present generation, know that he
is equally as good Il fighter on land as on
the sea. The following is condensed
from Harpers Weekly, August Is, 1894.
Some twenty-eight years ago 1S94) the
General Sherman visited the coast Of
Korea. that peninsula projecting in Il
southerly direction from Wanchorra,
and lying between the yellow sea and
the sea of Japan. The vessel was load
ed with Yankee notions and the purpose
of the captain was il peaceful exchange
of the commodities with the Koreans.
The crew of the General Sherman was
assaulted and murdered and the vessel
burned. This news was furnished by the
Chinese. The following year Rear Adj
miral John Rogers commanding the
Asiatic squadron, sailed into the Korean
harbor to investigate matters. His
ships were fired upon by the natives
from several forts by cannon. On Sun
day, June H., 1871. on an intensely hot
day, Adjutant General, Lieutenant Com
mander w. S. Schley, landed with Il
force of about 600 men to attack the
Notifications by land. while the ships of
the squadron opened a furious fire from
the river front.
The attack on the Notifications was
begun at 1910 p. m. on Sunday Adju-
tant General Schley and Lieutenant
Casey led the battalion over the crest of
the ridge on which the Notifications
were situated under a fierce fire from
the enemy Lieutenant Mckee, Adju-
tant General Schley and Lieutenant Al
len (the titles under which the men serv-
ed on land) were the first to climb the
parapet Allen and Mckee were both
instantly killed, Schley alone escaping.
Within the fort were about 1000 kor-
cans, drawn up in lines Z or deep, but
the Americans charged with fixed
bayonets and a furious hand to hand con
fict ensued. The Koreans attempted to
retreat. but were taken in the rear by
companies posted for that purpose. In
the fort alone go dead were found. The
entire Korean force of $500 men was
literally wiped out. The American loss
was three killed and ten wounded. That
was the way Rear Admiral Schlay
fought on land.

WILL CARRY
EVERY COUNTY
PEOPLE IN WAKE, WAYNE, HARNETT AND
JOHNSTON AROUSED AS NEVER BEFORE.
Negro Rule at Home, High Taxes, Millions of
Bonds, ard Five Cent Cotton are the
Fruits of Republican PuIe.
Mr.. Pou Confident.

Solicitor Edward w. Pou was in the
city yesterday. He came at the request
of State Treasurer Worth to aid him in
obtaining Judgment against the dclin-
qucnt tax collector and sheriff of Swain
county.
The solicitor didn't seem ut all annoyed
at the action of the negro convention in
putting up Dockery.
Il shall make Il complete canvass of
this district" said he. 1T is rather too
hot to commence right now, but during
courts, | shall give my entire time to the
Democratic cause This district is safe.
The Republicans did not carry it upon
the basis of the vote of 1896, and they
certainly cannot hope to better that vote
this year. To tell the truth. | believe
we will carry every county i'll the
Fourth judicial district We are making
gains from both Republicans ana Iopu-
lists
asked Mr.. Pou if he knew of any
Republicans and Populists who would
vote with us.
Il can write down the names of a
dozen men in my county, who have been
straight Republicans, who were in our
County Convention on the 2Sth of July,
and | believe | can write the names OF
as many populists who also participated
| believe there were many more, but L
know there were this many. as to my
own county, we have put out grand
ticket-ten of the fifteen townships are
represented in it. and people are aroused
as l have never before seen them. The
opposition is disorganized and ratified.
It amounts to little. In fact | find Il
determination all over the State to re-
establish good government.
Our Republican friends think the
war will help them. In this they are
mistaken. The war has put up taxes,
but it hasn't put up the price of cotton.
The acquisition of territory is not what
the people want so much as sufficient
money to~mcet their necessities. They
want good government for Cuba. but
above all they are determined to have
good government at home. High taxes
millions of bonds. five-cent cotton, and
incompetent rule in North Carolina are
the fruits Of Republican victory

FRAUDULENT INVOICES.

Incident In the Case of Suspected I'm
dervalustiOn of Imported Embroideries.
Some good has already accrued to the
federal government from the searching
Investigations into the undervaluation
of imported merchandise which is be-
ing conducted, under authority of the
treasury department, by the local APP
praiser at the port Of New York. a sig.
nificant incident transpired only few
days ago indicating that certain persons
who have been engaged in bringing for
eign made goods into this country on
fraudulent invoices are becoming fright
ened. An importation of embroideries
was entered at so low a valuation that
the appraiser examiner suspected that
something was wrong and so reported
10 his chief.
Appraiser Wakeman sent for the con-
signee, the goods having come in on
"the consigned plan" and not as the
actual importation of an American buy
er, and subjected him to rigid exam
ination regarding the cost and market
value of the merchandise. Evidence was

sources that the invoice figures did not
fairly represent the market value of the
embroideries.
Whatever may have been the impress
sion left upon the mind of the consignee
by his visit TO the appraisers inquisi-
tion room an uncommon thing happen
ed Oh the following day The customs
authorities received from this same con
signee a second invoice of the merchan-
disc under examination, with the values
advanced per cent and 40 per cent adj
ditional. Accompanying this new in
voice was an explanation that the docu-
ment had just arrived on that day 5
steamer. 1t was dated on the day fol-
lowing the first invoice. This corrected
invoice made a considerable addition to
the revenues of the United States gov
ernment, and the circumstances led a
high customs official to remark that if
similar corrections" could be made of
all invoices that bore evidence of fla
grant undervaluations the government
would be benefited TO the extent of mil

RiGHTlNG A WRONG.
Tardy Justice Rendered to Victim OF
Cleveiand's Administration.

Cleveiand's Administration.
Justice tardy and imperfect, is done
% tho memory and family of the late
John Roach by the passage in the house
last Tuesday of the bill already approved
by the senate paying $500. $50 to the
heirs OF John Roach. This payment is
for labor and material. dockage and de-
tention and occupation of yards and
shops for the gunboats Chicago, Bostc
and Atlanta.
The ruin of John Roach by the first
Cleveland administration is one of the
most discreditable episodes in our his
tory. Politics was at the bottom of it,
and very malicious and cruel politics it
proved to be. John Roach built many
vessels and built them we'll. He did
work for the government, and until the
Cleveland administration came in there
was no complaint of his work. He fin
ished the Dolphin soon after Secretary
Whitney became secretary of the navy,
and it was pronounced structurally
weak, and $40, 900 was taken off the
contract price. Without spending a
penny of this $25, 900 on the strength

se;it on a trip around the world and
has been doing active duty as dispatch

Roach was laade bankrupt and died a

Cummings of New York supported ON
the floor of the house the bill TO make

that my own party at the time was en-
gagged in the denunciations. That is
what | know. dislike to say so, but it
is true. There never was man in the
world treated more unjustly than this
honest old Irishman. He fell into the
hands Of political sharks and had his
business ruined thereby. He was hound
