CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED.

tiye.o Rut Not yioIators of Law.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 3l.-It
was definitely announced at the Civil
Service Commission to-day that the EVIL
dence taken in the recent investigation
of charges against the Federal officials
at Richmond, Va, had not been sustained,
and no further action is probable The
testimony which was taken by Messrs.
Doyle and Wales has been informally
submitted by them to the commissioners
as a body, and their full report is in pre-
paraton. 1t will show that while there
was much to be deplored in the facts
brought out, there appeared no evidence
Of violation OF the civil-service laws or
rules.
The charges were taken up behind closed
doors to-day, and the preliminary report
made called attention to the fact that the
participation Of officials in the political
gatherings was, In their belief, violation
Of the Cleveland order regarding per
nicious political activity" but that does
comes within the cIvil-seryice law.

SQUEEZE IN SHORT RIBS.
r. ID. Armour Said to Have Given Up
% Snug Sum.


CHICAGO, October 3i.-P. ID. Armour
gave up a snug sum to-day as the result
Of a little squeeze In October short ribs,

they speak. 1t was the last day of the
October delivery and ribs, which could

apparently scarce, with the price soaring
up toward 81. The price was only stopped
at s6.75 by private settlement of about
1900, 900 pounds. There is no telling where
the deal would have gone had the peo-
pie running it pushed it to extremes They
demonstrated their absolutely control OF
the situation.
II was the elimination of a deal by
syndicate of what are known as the
English packers, with number Of con-
Germs associated with them, said to have
been against John Cudahy and p. d. Ar

tive denied it, which had been under way
for something like two months. Just
who they are Is not yet public property,
but they include Swift & Co., the Chicago
Packing Company. the Continental Pack
ing Company. the International Packing
Company, and probably the several COM
mission concerns which are made up of
people largely interested in the packing
companies named.

Review of the Situation.

WILMINGTON, n. c.. October S1.--(Spe-
ci5l)-The situation here is rather more
strained owing to a rumor that the Re-
pubiicans will run a county ticket despite
Governor Russell's promise that none
shall be put out. Governor Russell ar
rived here tonight and is closeted with
local Republican leaders and O. II. Dock
gry. Republican candidate for Congress in
this district.
The Democratic committee and the COM
mittcc Of businessmen to-day selected
Mr. Martin willard and George Roun-
tree. Esq. as candidates for the lower
house on the Democratic ticket in the
stead OF Peschau and Kerr, the conven-
ton nominees. This was in compliance
with an agreement with Governor Rus
sell that II Democrats would change
their legislative nominees he RusselD
would prevent the running of an opposi-
ton ticket. Willard and Rountree are
both prominent Democrats.
The increased excitement tonight is
on account Of a rumor that there would
be a Republican ticket in the field despite
the Governors promise.
The Morning Star will say editorially
tomorrow: LAS to a Republican county
ticket or any other county ticket named
in the interests of the Republican party,
the man or men who undertake TO place
such ticket in the field may as well un-
derstand that no violation Of the under
standing already reached will be tole-
rated for one moment; this is the plain
truth"
Mr. Frank II. Stedman. chairman OF
the Democratic Campaign Committee,
said TO the Dispatch correspondent to-
night: "The Democrats here are fun OF
enthusiasm. and are determined to re-
deem the county at the election. The
republicans are demoralized by the ag-
grc%sive night being made upon them. II
is now conceded that the county Will
give a large majority Tor the judicial.

sides clectng all the county officers. The
organization is thorough and Democrats
Will go TO the polls with a solid front
and roll up the largest majority ever cast

THE NEW TOBACCO COMPANY.
The Reported Combination of Plug
Manufacturers Confirmed.

The Louisville Courier-Journal con-
firms the report sent out from New York
and published in the Dispatch Saturday,
that the Continental Tobacco Company.
embracing the firm of =. II. Mayo &
Brother. in this city, and large factories
In Louisville, st. Louis, Middletown, o.,
and Detroit Mich, had been formed.
The Courier-Journal states that all the
companies have signed papers, and that
the properties have practically been turn
ed over. A dispatch from New York. con-
firmatory of the sale, is also published.
1t was impossible to confirm this report
here yesterday, as nobody in a position
TO speak authorltatively would talk. 1t is
the general opinion OF the Tobacco Trade,
however, that the Mayo plant is either a
part of the new company. or that its
promoters have an option on the prop
erty.
A very. significant statement made by
the New York correspondent Of the Cou-
rier-JournaI is that the American Tobac-
co Company will retire from the manu-
facture Of plug tobacco.

THE TIDEyvATER RAILROAD.
Great Interest Displayed by the
People of King WiIIiapi.

The people OF King William are greatly
interested in the proposed Richmond and
Tidewatsr railroad. A largely attended
meeting was held last night at Ayletts
in the interest OF this important enter
prise. Mr.. w. G. Pollard presided, and
Dr. j. b. Moore was secretary. Enthusi-
astic addresses were made by Messrs
William II. Turpin, DR.. j. b. Moore. $.
w. Adams, Henry Hill, Beverly Booker,
and c. w. Berkley.
After the discussion a committee was
appointed to notify gentlemen in the diff
ferent precincts to call meetings as fol-
lows: Enfield Wednesday, at =. NJ;

The question OF increased taxation, IN
order to meet the interest on the bonds
which it is proposed the county shall is
sue was freely discussed. Those who op-
pose the county's issuing bonds for the
purpose of building the road are using
the argument that it will double taxes,
whereas facts were presented to this
meeting to show that under no circum-
stances can the increase be more than a
few cents on the 500 worth of property.
