FILIBUSTERING EXPEDITION.
Rumor ofthe Dauntless Again Engaged
in this Work.

Jacksonville, Fla, October 6.-No be-
lief is put in the report that the Daunt-
less is off on another flibustering ex-
petition. The vessel left port last
night loaded heavily with coal and pro-
visions and carrying extra men as crew.
The explanation offered today is that
the tug has gone to tow a schooner
from Key West to some Cuban port;
that she could not take on coal at Key
West without going into quarantine,
and to avoid this necessity, she carried
fuel, provisions and water sufficient to
take her to Cuba without landing any
phere. This is according to best au-
thority obtainable.

During the winter Of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one Of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, W.
Va, struck his leg against a cake of
ice in such a manner as to bruise it
severely. It became very much swollen
and panied him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and two
and a half gallons of whiskey in bath
ing it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain's !. Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in a weeks time and he believes
that had he not used this remedy his
leg would have had to be amputated.

Washington, October S.-Admirai
Dewey has elected to accep a-house in
Washington already constructed, In
stead of having one built for his occu-
patton. In accordance with the invi-
tation of the committee which has In
charge the Dewey home fund, he called
at the office of Acting Secretary Allen
in the nav department., at IL o'clock
today, to indicate his preferences in the
matter of a residence. There were
present, besides Mr.. Allen, Assistant
Secretary Vanderbilt, Assistant Post
master General Heath, and General
Corbin.
The Admiral was officially informed
of the purpose of the people Of the
United States to present him with a
home in Washington. He frankly ex-
pressed his qualification at the tender
which he Immediately accepted. He
said had the proposed home been the
gift of a few wealthy men he should
feel i~ndisposed to accept it;hut he noted
tina the fund had over A, 900 subscrib-
ers, indicating that the home was to
be really the gift of the American peo-
pie, and as such he would accept 1T
with as much pleasure as lie had tho
sword bestowed upon him by congress.
Then the talk turned upon the loca-
ton of the residence and the admiral
showed a decided preference for the
section in which he a made his home
during his former details Of duty in
Washington. He wished the house to
be located in the northwest section,
somewhere west of Sixteenth street,
and not too far north, thus indicating
the neighborhood of his former resi-
dence md the clubs where he a spent
a. good deal of his leisure time. First
of all, he wanted the house at the earl
lest possible moment, so that he might
Ego in and hang up his hat at once" as
he put it. Of course that precluded the
idea of erecting a house to meet his
special needs. He expressed his ideas
as to the character of the home he de-
sires and asked that the house be mod
est enough in apartments n cost to
permit Of the retention of a sufficient
sum of money from the purchase fund
| to defray the expense of furnishing.
The committee listened attentively to
all of these wishes and saw no reason
why each and all could not be graft
fed. The admiral is going to New
| York and will stop over, if he car to
| see the yacht race on his way to Shell
burne Farms, Vermont. He expects to
| return to Washington in the course Of
a week.
Meanwhile, the house committee, hav-
ing invited written proposals of prop
critics, will go through the list care
fully and hope to be able to present to
the admiral on his return as many as
half a dozen available houses, from
which he may make a personal selec-
| ton. The fund at the disposal of the
| committee now amounts to about $780,
900, and it is earnestly desired that this
sum may be substantially increased
during the time remaining before the
purchase.

Falling in Line.

For the PAST several issues of The
Ginner we a devoted considerable
space to the subject Of the standard
24x54 inch bale, citing THE manifold
advantages Nthat 1t would bring if gen.
eral1y adopted, and thus early the
gratifying news comes that thousands
of the ginners of the cotton belt have
fallen into lime, changing their press
boxes and will pack this seasons crop
ON same.
The standard, as was argued, has
everything ito recommend 1T. Common
sense would teach that the smaller the
foloW-block THE greater could be made
the pressure ito THE given square inch
of pressure upon the contents of the
box, and il 500 or more pounds of lint
can be pressed i'm a box of the 24X4 di-
mansions, and it has been shown very
c~onclusively that dit cam, the ginner
who does not adopt lit stands in his
own light and cares nothing for the
interest of his patrons who would real
ize from $500 ito $3.50 per bale more by
the use of the standard, because it is
easier to handle and almost double the
humble of THE old style baeS cam be
loaded into a car, VOuchsafing a half
freight rate as compared with the old,
and these considerations are what
would enable the buyer TO give a half
cent more per pound and viewed from
amy standpoint it has everything to
recommend it.
OF course to reap he benefit such as
we ave depicted, it will require a gen
eral adoption of the standard size press
by ginners, as There could be NO uni
form loading of cars with a half dozen
different sizes OF bales to contend with.
AS ten discordant horns would confuse
the music OF seventy others, so would
ten bales of as many sizes render the
uniform loading Of a car out of the
question.
LIE gfnners everywhere give this
matter the serious Thought shat it de-
serves and fall iI lime under THE ban
ner of THE Standard square bale which
Will sooner or latter be carried ito sue
cess.
A special Ito the Atlanta Constitution
under date of September 9TH, says:
The cotton season has fully opened,
about a dozen buyers are ON the streets,
and the cotton lis rapidly coming in.
The crop will be about 5000 short. A
lot of rounda and square bales were sold
today, the round bringing five-forty-
five n the old fashioned square bale
five and one-half.
The round bale Claim Bureau will
please take notice.
1t has been proven that cotton putt
UP in round bales does not bring more
money to the producer than the staple
baled in quare packages.-The Amer

Bound for Manila Killed In a Ty-
Observation-Disclosures With Insurgents.

Manila. October General Fred
Grant, with three companies of the
Fourth infantry, two companies of the
Fourteenth infantry and a band of
scouts attached to the former regiment,
advanced from linus this morning,
driving the insurgents FROM the entire
west bank Of the linus river. Three
Americans were wounded.
1t is estimated that ten of the Fill
pinos were killed.
Companies C., and II, with the scouts,
crossed the river at Big Bend n ad-
vanced westward in the direction OF
the Bincayan road, the insurgents mr.
ing volleys. but retiring. Twenty
Fflipinos were discovered ~intrenched
at the .Bincayan church, about midway
between Bacoor and Cavtte VieJo.
These were routed, six being killed.
RiIey's battery, of the Fifth artillery,
made an effective Sortie about a mile
south of Bacoor and sheled the west
bank of the river at close ange. That
bank is now held by the Americans.
The United States transport Siam,
which left San Francisco August 18th
with upwards of $50 valuable mules,
the coming Of which had beeen anx-
iousiy awaited, as mules are in great
demand for continuing the campaign,
arrived this morning and reported that
ALL but nineteen of the animals had
been lost in two severe typhoons, under
peculiarly distressing conditions.
The Siam, which left Honolulu thir-
ty-one days ago, encountered the ty-
phoons early this week. One lasted
forty-hours. Most Of the forage, which
was on deck, was swept overheard, all
the boats were smashed and the steam
er rolled tremendously in the trough
of the sea although the officers made
every effort to bring her about.
The mules were hurled from side to
side and frightfully mangled and dis
emboweled. Their legs and necks
were broken and the wretched animals
fell in such a confused mass hat the
attendants were unable to relieve them.
In the meantime h deck load was
washed off, the ship lightened and the
rolling increased. When the storm
abated the injured animals were killed
and their thrown overheard.
When the Siam arrived her propeller
was high out Of the water and the
wrecks of her boats were hanging from
the davits.

Raleigh, n. c., October 6.
Attorney General walser was asked
TO give q list of the legal holidays in
North Carolina and he was astonished
to find hat there were no less than
nine. He says he thinks no other state
has so large a number. The holidays
are: January 1st; Lees birthday. jan
nary 18th; washington's birthday:
memorial day, May 10th: Mecklenburg
declaration anniversary. May Goth; July
4th: Labor day, September 4th;
Thanksgiving day; Christmas day.
The name of Thomas Ruffn, OF
Washington, is being quite prominently
mentioned for the assistant professor
ship of law at the University or North
Carolina.
Each day a car load of furniture is
shipped By the factories at High Point.
These factories will have a collective
exhibit at the state fair; and this ex-
hibit will be not only the first of the
kind, but the largest ever made In this
state.
Mr.. NJ. Mfttledorper, of Richmond,
mas arrived mere W ueCoio'C CITY
for the fair.
Raleigh is to have an ordinance
against expectorating OF the s-rcc-s
and in street cars. 1t has been badly
needed these man years.
Deputy Revenue Collector Satterfield
reports the seizure of two illicit dis
tilleries in Person county.
Fine rains fell last night and sup
piled a need, as streams have been

Cotton receipts continue very light.
At all the farms cotton is rapidly ac-
cumulating, and the farmers are hold
ing on. Some say when it goes to 8
cents they will hold for 8.
A very interesting case involving the
removal of a Western Union Telegraph
Company damage suit from the state
to the federal court is under the
judges consideration at Durham. The
company contends that as the amount
is 81, 900 there is entire right of re-
moval under the general federal law,
and that in such case the Craig do
m~estication' law is null and void. 1t
will be a complete test of the Craig aw.
At the state treasury today it was
| said that in August the penitentiary
had paid in $4,SS5, and in September
$7,S36. Between February and August
no money was paid in by the peniten-

The pe~nitentiary has as yet sold no

will be governed by the conditions.
Today the agricultural department
| had a letter from a prominent citizen
of Halifax county, saying he had
bought 200 cattle, some of them in the
lower part of Martin county, and put

tened for market. The splenic fever
broke out and has already killed forty
three, and the deaths continue. The
cattle, which are infested with ticks
n which cause the disease. are the
ones bought in Martin. Some of the
cattle are said to be loaded with ticks
The state veterinarian will go there.
1t is said that these cattle were being
fattened for shipment to Norfolk
which is the cattle market of eastern
North Carolina, as Richmond is of the

New York Stock Market.

New York, October THE stock mar
ket was much neglected today, the
yacht race proving the greater attrac-
ton. Prices move narrowly except in
a few industrials and the small room
traders had the market all to them
selves. They bid up prices after the
opening in expectation of a favorable
bank statement. Prices declined when
the statement appeared, but there was
no urgent liquidation and the bidding
up Of Louisville to a point over last
night steadied the market. The closing
was rather irregular. Attempts to
still further depreSs Brooklyn Transit
met with resistance and the stock got
ed a point net. Changes generally are
very small and mixed, but the MAORI
ty are gains.
The bank statement failed to show
the large relief as a result Of expendi-
lures by visitors to the Dewey celebra-
ton which has been much harped on by
spectators all the week. Not more
than $1,000, 900 offset Of the drain to the
interior and tor the sub-treasury can
be detected from the bank statement.
The reduction in the reserve r." --e-
ments by reducing loans So, 500, 200 was
not sufficient to offset the loss in cash
and the surplus falls to $643,20
IToday's clearing house statement
shows the sub-treasury a debtor to that
institution for 81, O91, 800. Coupled with
the receipt of gold by today's incom-
ing steamers, this had the effect of
counteracting to a slight extent the un-
favorable bank statement.
Bonds have been dull and have NOV
ed in sympathy with stocks during the
week. United States Us declined Is;
