SOLDIERS FOR WILMINGTON.
War Department Denies That Orders
for Such Have Been Given.

for Such Have Been Given.
Washington, Nov. 4-There is a good
deal of mystery here over the attitude of
administration officials toward the politi-
cal and race conditions in North Carolina.
This morning the news came from Will
mington that the 200 men of the Second
Artillery. stationed at Fort Caswen, in
North Carolina, are under orders to pro-
coed to Charleston for embarkation to
Poto Rico, and that the time of their
movement has been so arranged as. to
have them in Wilmington on election day.
This information came from a highly re-
liable source and naturally 1t created
much interest here where the condition IN
the North state have been watched with
apprehension War department officials
are. however, very positive in their dec
larations that no such orders have been
issued '.' they know of.
AT the adjutant generals office 1t was
stated that any orders given the Second
Regiment or any part of it, must come
through that office, and there was no
knowledge Inere of any such movement
as that reported.
1t was reported that the Second Resi-
ment was under orders to prepare to take
part in the general movement on Cuba,
not Porto Rico, as reported from Whining
ton. but tina. no order for its movement
has been issued as yet, and that the de-
partmeut has had no idea of arrarging so
the soldiers will be in Wilmington that
day.
All of this, il is said, however, in way
that leaves the impression that perhaps
some such arrangement may have been
made outside the routine of the office,
that either the President or the Secretary
of War may have quietly taken such
step The suggestion, however meets
with deniais all along the line
AS a matter of fact, most of those IA
rniliar with the conditions in North Caro-
lima are inclined 10 believe that the dan
gers of a serious clash is passed. These
nersons say that a few days ago things
were much more critical than they are
now. that the withdrawal OF the party
tickets at Wilmilst Ton and the substtu
ton of legislative candidates named by
the business men, have relieved the pres
sure there, and that this has acted in
sense as a sedative on tie rest Of The state.
If il proves true chat arrangements have
been made for federal troops &c put in ali
appearance in Wilmington, this viii, it
is argued, inflame the people Of that state
and undo all the .sood that las been done
bv the compromise at Wilmington. While
il is strenuously 1CnIId that any such
ARRANGEMENT has Deeh made by the Presi-
dent. che secretary, or ally body else, there
is an impression here tnat here must be
some substance to The report referred to.

STAMPED BY FLYING SHELLS.
Queer Sort of Art work at Carnegie
Building in Pittsburg.


From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
In the Office Of Mr.. A. s. Mcswigan.
Carnegie building, Pittsburg, can be seen
photographs Of one of the most curious
were taken Immediately after the test of
a section Of hardened nickel steel armor
plate against which had been fired two
shells In the testing process.
Nothing unusual was noticed about the
armor plate az the time the photographs
were taken, but when the negatives were
developed there appeared Enthusiastically on
the plate two faces where the shells had
broken their way in.
The faces were human and plainly out
lined In the hardened steel, eyes, nose
and mouth In their right places. Without
doubt 1t was the strangest art work ever
accomplished, the human face drawn on
steel armur by the impact Of a modern
shell.
SO strange q freak Of chance was It that
when the photographs were completed and
exhibited in the window numbers came TO
see them and wondered at the queerness
of the thing. Since then closer exarni-
nation Of some Of the other photographs
taken of armor plate at which shells have
been fired show that the holes form the
outlines Of various shapes recognized in
accurate life. In one there can be seen
a face having all the appearance Of a Ii
ger snarling, open-mouthed and with dis
tended eyes. In another there can he
traced the form Of a dog curled up fast
as.eep. Turn the pictures which way YOU
will, there Is seen the resemblance Of some
form Of life OF course there are many
