NO CABINET CHANGES.
hckinicy's Present Advisers Urged
to Remain I'm Ofice


to Remain I'm ONCE.
Washington, Nov. 14.-President Nc
kinney yesterday announced clearly
and forcibly to the members of his cab
met his desire that they should all re-
main with him during the four years
OF his coming administration. His
wishes were made known in an ex-
tended speech st the cabinet meeting
In the White House. Responses were
made by all the members present, and
while there were no definite pledges
from any OF them that they would &C
cept the portfolios thus rendered
afresh, there was, on the other hand
no definite declination.
Yesterdays proceedings relieves the
members of the cabinet OF the custom
airy obligation OF rendering their resig-
nations at the end OF the term, unless
they have made an irrevocable decision
that IT Will be impossible for them to
continue in office. II also sets at rest
all speculation and slate making of the
country's political prophets, for 1t is
understood generally that there is but
one doubtful factor in the homogeneity
OF the present cabinet That factor IS
Attorney General Griggs, as he holds
MS present position at great financial
sacrihce. Still, Mr.. Griggs replied in
terms OF warm appreciation to the COM
plimentary remarks OF the president
and voiced no intention OF retiring
from his present position.

PERRY TO HANG
FOR WHITES DEATH
Americas Negro to Walk scafOld
Shortly.
WAS CONVICTED VERY QUICKLY
Perry, With Two Accomplices, Tried
For the Murder of Prof. White In
Philadelphia-All Three Will Very
Probably Stretch Hemp Soon.

| Charles Perry is to be hanged for the
murder of Prof. Ray Wilson White,
which brutal crime was committed in
Philadelphia in May.
After two days trial the jury return
ed verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree, and this, of course, means
the death sentence. Justice in this
case was certainly swift and sure.
The date of Perry's execution is not
known here yet but will scarcely be
long delayed. All three connected
with the murder will probably go to
their death in bunch.
1t will be a sad ending for Perry,
who is an Americus negro.
The news as received here yesterday
created little surprise among those
who had kept up with the trial of Perry,
Ivory and Sterling, the three negroes
charged with the murder of Prof Ray
White, a Philadelphia lawyer, who was
brutality killed on May 10Th last.
Ivory. who with Perry had made a
partial confession, was first tried end
convicted of murder. Perry's case was
next to be taken up.
This has just been concluded and he
stands convicted, like Ivory.
Henry Sterling, the third accomplice,
is now on trial. His case will probably
be finished tomorrow, and if guilty, as
is most probable, the three will likely
be sentenced to die on the scafold to-
gether.
Charles Perry, six months ago, stood
well as a trusted colored citizen of
Americas, but falling in with gang
here he was soon connected with dar-
ing and successful burglary. His
downfall was surprise to many here
who had long known the negro.
His house was s'fence" for stolen
plumber, and goods to the value of sew
eral hundred dollars were found there
by the police.
Perry, in the meanwhile, had es-
capped, and his presence in Philadel-
phia was not known until the murder
of Prof. White was committed and
Perry connected Herewith.
Chief of Police Wheeler afterwards
went to see Perry in Moyamensing
prison, and secured information re-
garding the burglary here with which
the negro was connected. His broth
or, Jim Perry, also made trip to Phil
adelphia to see the unfortunate.
But it will, probably, all be over
with Perry very shortly now.

COTTON. BoLLs FAST RorTlNG.
Top Crop Here Will Amount to Very
Little,

While the recent rains and continued
warm weather has infused new life into
the seemingly deal cotton plant, the
bolls now upon the stalk are of little #
any value. They are watery and soft,
while a greater foe, the cotton boil
weevil, is playing havoc in the fields.
A gentleman here drove out into the
country yesterday for the purpose of
examining the stop crop" and gives it
as his candid opinion that it is utterly
worthless. Selecting fine and
healthy stalk containing thirty large
bolls, he cut all of them open with his
knife and found only two sound ones.
All the others were weeviI-eaten and
rotten, aud such cotton would not
make bale to fifty acres at the best.
The boosted top crop" if like that in
Sumter, will amount to little.
