This is delaying Work on the New First
Presbyterian Church.

1t is expected that work on the new
Presbyterian church, which is to replace
the old First Presbyterian church, cor
ner Morgan and Salisbury streets, will
begin within the next month. There is
some difficulty in getting brick, other
wise the work would now be gong on.
The contract calls for completion of the
new building by >Dctober /.
The contract is held by Mr.. Naring.
of South Carolina. the contractor who
built the handsome new Sunday school
room, now being used also as a church
pending the erection of the aew church.
The old church, though no longer in
use, will not be torn down until all the
material is got together for the new
structure. When completed it will be
one of the handsomest church ediiccs in
the city.

CHARLOTTE PERKINS STETSON
This Gifted Lady to Lecture in Raleigh
An Hour With Kipling.

&Ah IlouT W itu hlplIllS.
The evening of Easter Monday. April
,rd, holds in store Il rare treat for al!
lovers of Rudyard Kipling. Mrs. Char
lotte Perkins Stetson will talk for an
hour on the subject of this favorite
poet and author and his works.
She comes fresh from an ovation in
Atlanta, and en- route for Washington
aud Philadelphia. She, has just cabled
her acceptance of an invitation TO lee
ture i'll June before the International
Council of Women in Queens Hall,
London.
Current Literature" for February has
an article pronouncing her the brainiest
woman in America.
Mrs. Stetson's recent book, woman
and Economics" has called forth glow
ing criticisms in papers and magazines.
and she has been made the subject of a
lecture by Harry Thurston Peck before
literateurs in New York.
Watch the Sunday papers for a more
detailed account of the lecture.

TO GREET THE RALEIGH.
Silver Cup TO be Presented on Her Arri-
val at the Norfolk Navy Yard.
Norfolk Landmark

tNorfolk Landmark.l
The report that New York city has
petitioned the Navy Department to
have the cruiser Raleigh, the first of
Dewey's vessels to return home, sent
there has raised a storm in this city. The
ship is now under orders to proceed To
this port, and against the changing OF
these orders energetic protests have been
entered by influential citizens. 1t is
held that Norfolk, the birthplace OF the
Raleigh, is the most eminently suitable
place for her to come to upon her re.
turn from her first gloriously victorious
cruise. Every possible influence will
be brought TO bear upon the Navy De-
partment to prevent a change in the
Raleigh's orders.
A reception Of national proportions will
be rendered the cruiser upon her arrival
has been contemplated by the Business
Mems Association, and if the ship comes
she will he suitably crested. A large
delegation of the most influential citi-
zens of Raleigh. y. c., will come here
to welcome their namesake. This, it
seems. should be another reason why no
change should he made from the original
determination Of the department.
So far as is known the request of
New York that the Raleigh be sent
there does not include the request that
she shall 90 out of commission and re-
ceiye her repairs at the Brooklyn navy
yard. But the request to be permitted
to honor her is almost equivalent TO
asking to be allowed also to repair the
cruiser.
On the arrival of the Raleigh. which
is now near Barbados on her way
from Manila. there WILL it is under
stood, be an interchange of courtesies
between the ships officers and the rep
resentatiyes of North Carolina. who. at
Southport several years ago, presented
the cruiser with magnificent punch
bowl. A feature of the ships return
here will be the presentation by Mrs. A
w. Haywood tnee Miss Holt, who
christened the ship when she was
launched here, of twelve massive cups
TO match the bowl. 1t is also stated the
officers will present to the State of
North Carolina a gun captured at Ma
Mia and several other trophies of the
great May day battle in the Philip
pines.
The Raleigh should arrive here. il is
thought. by the 9th Of April.

Admiral Fdrqundr in Command Of
 North AtIanfiC Station.

Washington, D. C., Oct 14.-Rear Ad- miraI N. H. Farquhar, until recently commandant of the Norfolk navy yard. hoisted his flag on the flagship New York in Hampton Roads shortly be- fore noon today. Admiral Farquhar called on Admiral Sampson earlier in the day and presented his orders from Secretary Long, assigning him to the command of the North Atlantic sta ton.
 Admiral Farquhar was formally re- ceived on the New York by Captain F. E. Chadwick, commanding that ship. The officers were in full uniform, the crew and the marines were mustered aft. Admiral Farquhar then read his orders assuming command and the ceremony concluded with the hoisting of his flag at the main truck.

CARL'S CRUSADE
COxeV's Son-In-Law Can'f Get Ills
 Crowd Together.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 14.-Tomor- row is the date set for the starting of Carl Browne's second crusade to the national capital, but advices from Syr- acuse, Kan, from which point the cru saders are scheduled to make their start, report that so far there are no outward indications that the second petition with boots on' to Washing ton will materialize. For some time, however, Browne has been industrious ly circulating his literature calling up- on all to join his jaunt to Washington to ask the administration to pass an antitrust law and to redress a long list of other alleged grievances of the former Coxeyites.
 The people of the Sunf1ower state, however, have been too busily engaged in marketing their record-breaking crops to pay much attention to the call for recruits to the commonweal army.

Sandy Hook. Oct. 1.-The yacht race was declared off again today. The next attempt at a race will be made on Mon day. The thousands who have been attending the course day after day in the hope of seeing trial of speed be- couraged and it is quite probable that when the first trial is successfully made the attendance will be less than ex- pected. People are tired of being fooled and will stop turning out until there is some probability of seeing a contest.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The following telegram has been received at the war department:
 Manila, Oct. 14.-Schwan's column swung into linus from Dos Marinas yesterday morning, camped at Bacoor last night and scattered the insurgents, who are probably retiring attachments on Indang. The condition of the roads prevented further pursuit. One hun dred and twenty-five men of the Thir- ty-seventh volunteers, under Major Cheatham, drove the insurgents south and westward from the lake town of Muntintupa yesterday, pursuing them several miles and retired to Bacoor last night by the Zapote river roads. They lost three men killed, two wounded and one missing. Schwans movements were very successful. He inflicted a heavy loss on the men and property of the southern insurgent army. He reports their casualties at 200 killed and 400 wounded. Their stored supplies are de- stroyed. Young, in moving from Ara vat north and westward, yesterday, scattered the insurgents who were re- tired to the northwest. His casualties were three slightly wounded. A con- siderable store of grain was captured.

ExPECrED DISASTERS.

London, Oct. 1.-The Exchange Tele-
 graph company received a dispatch
 from Cape Town dated this morning saying the Boers had blown up another
 a1mored train carrying telegraph op- orators from Mafeking. The Boers, it is reported, have destroyed the railway station north of Fourteen Streams, be- tween Vryburg and Kimberly. Fight ing is still continuing in the neighbor- hood. According to dispatches from the front the Boers have made several attacks on NIafeking, all of which have been repulsed. In connection with the rumored attack upon Mafeking a dis quieting report comes from Pretoria to the effect that the Rustenburg and Marico commands have crossed the border and entered Rooigrond territory between Lichtenburg and Mafeking. blowing up the bridge over the Malop- DO river and destroying a train load of dynamite and the track. As Mafeking depends upon Rooigrond for it's water supply, the significance of the move is evident.
 The capture of a train on the western borner of the Transvaal is the begin ming of a few anticipated reverses at the outset of the campaign. The Boer plan is now unfolding itself. It seems to be the intention to strike simultan- eously at different points with a view of obtaining a strong strategic posi- tiCn in Natal before the arrival of the British army corps. At all points the British are faced by Boer forces, su- perior, at least in numbers. The most dangerous positions, especially since the loss of the armored train, are be- tween Mafeking and Vryburg. Colonel Baden-Powell, who is in command at AIafeking, is a man of the greatest courage and energy, but he has only 2,00O men, many of them being irregu- lars.
