THE TROOPS DISMISSED.
A Blunder That Has Caused Much Talk of In
peaching the Governor

The soldiers who have been here
under arms since Wednesday after
noon were yesterday afternoon dis
missed by the Governor.
Acting Adjutant General Harris was
asked why His EXcellency did not
continue them on in service as a reg
ular part of his administration. He
replied that it was believed all dan
ger was now over and no further ne
cesslity for the troops existed, there
fore they had been dismissed.
The action of the Governor in call
ing out troops on the unfounded com
plant of a private citizen and keep
ing them on duty for three days-and
one of those election day-when there
was no trouble actual or threatened.
has been much commented upon. So
great is the Indignation of the people
that they are declaring the Governor
ought to be impeached

CHARLOTT Re DISBANDS
The Baseball Season Ends
August 9Th.
Raleigh Defeated Statesvlle Yesterday by a
Score of -Four to Three. Little Persons
Pitched Fine Ball.

Little Person was right there yester-
and his drops and shoots. He had speed
to burn, and his curves were all right.
1t ought to have been a shut-out game.
But Crockett made two errors in the
ninth, throwing the ball away over Far
rells head and enough runs came in to
tie the game. 1t was this way: Raleigh
scored an earned run in the first on
Bivens' bunt, a steal to second and
Sutch's two Dagger. In the second Per-
sons led off with single to left, stole
second base, went to third on Sutch's
sacrifice hit and came home on Kennas
wild pitch In the eighth Manners hit
Texas Lacquer to center, stole second and
came home on Bivens' two Dagger. This
gave Raleigh three runs lead until
Persons unlucky ninth innings came, UP
to that time the nearest Statesville came
to scoring was in the fifth, when Shu
Khan Kenna hit to left for three bases
after Murphy struck out. He was doubled
up however, on Turner's seeming base
hit to left, which Bivens caught and
doubled up Shu Khan on third.
In the eighth Manners fly was muffed
by Murphy, and another run was fattened
on Bivens' two Dagger. 1t was well that
it was, for in Statesvilles ninth Per-
sons unlucky inning, Crockett made two
errors, which together with Malone and
Lambeth's safe hits and Persons wild
pitch gave Statesville their runs and tied
the score. But Crockett redeemed him
self in the ninth by lining out a base
hit to center, after Farrell lead hit safely,
and two were out. Murphy tried to
catch Crockett on first, but threw wild
and Farrell crossed the plate with the
winning run after two men were out. 1t
was a close shave.
This is the fourth game Raleigh has
played this week, and it is it's fourth
victory. They are right after second
place.
The features were Persons pitching
Manners catching and Malones over
hand catch of Biven's fly. Score:

cline to dlvulge the nature of his in
structions. They say that Mr.. Girls
com does not need express instructions
to forward the claims. for he has of his
own volitiOn taken rather advanced
attitude in this matter and the pre-
sensations he is now making, though
this time by express instruction, are
in no respect more peremptory than his
own preceding deliveries to the Turkish
Government
Novel though the prospect was from
u diplomatic standpoint, yet it is learn
ed to be true that the effort was made
by the Porte to pay this American
claim under cover of an order for
warship to be built in the United States
for Turkey. The reasons for the fall
ure of the project were several: The
United States Government has no war
ships for sale. and is not authorized to
build any for foreign order.
NO WARRANT OF LAW
There is no warrant of law for enter
ing into an arrangement with private
ship building concern for the collection
OF an International obligation in the
manner proposed. Lastly, judging by
the experience of concerns that have
had dealings with the Turkish Govern
ment. any ship builder accepting an
order from Turkey would require
4IOLi tic OitCb Sb'ilCo WV
ernment and the result of the trans
action might be the assumption by the
United States OF an obligation as much
larger than the original claims as the
price of n battleship exceeds the 500. 600.
Even If these obstacles were overcome
the scheme would be an utter failure
so far as concerns the accomplishment
of&the prime object, namely the secret
payment to the United states of the
indemnity with a view to avoiding de-
mands from other nations for settle
ment of their claims, for under our
open methods of business the transac-
ton. would have to be n matter of Off
cial record.
MORE AMERICAN CLAIMS.
One effect of this sudden application
OF pressure upon Turkey is Il renewal
OF the applications from American hold
ers of other claims against Turkey for
a presentation of their cases Save the
missionary claims, the 5000 indemnity
contains only one small allotment OF
about 1000 for the benefit OF the fam
lily of the bicyclist Lenz, who was killed
in Turkey while making Il circuit of the
globe. But it is believed that however
we'll founded the outstanding claims
may be. the present time is not regard
ed as propitious for urging them upon
the attention OF the Porte. as II is eX-
pccted that nothing will be done to d.
vert the negotiate from the mission
