referring to the thousands of people who
have visited the Fair this week.
Chief Mullen and his force have had
a comparatively easy time, and save
for the pickpockets who have operated

violations of the law. The number who

The accommodations for the crowd
We're better than ever before. The no.

were realized. The railroads have no
way of estimating the number of peo-
pie brought here, but they say it was
greater than ever before. Every train
was taxed to it's utmost, and even out
going trains yesterday, which were
twice their usual size, were filled to

Thursdays rush will be memorable
one. The transportation facilities,
though SURPRISING all previous ar
engagements and certainly the very best
that could be arranged, were totally in

it to the grounds.
Tt is estimated that not less than
$4,000 was turned loose in Raleigh as
the result of the Fair. Merchants and
every class of people received the bene-
fits of this expenditure by visitors.

THE TRAIN HOLD-Up.


Texarkana, Ark, Sept. 6.-The six
men who robbed the Cotton Belt at
Eylau Tuesday night are still at large.
The bloodhounds which were taken to
the scene were Of no service, as the
trail was dead. The trail OF the rob-
beers, however, was struck by w. H.
Ward, q Texarkana newspaper man,
and a member Of the sheritf's posse.
Ward was accompanied by Yardmas-
ter Taylor, of the Cotton Belt. The
men discovered where a horse had
been hidden near the company's fence
and where a heavy bag OF booty is
supposed to have been loaded. Ward
and Taylor, by the use of lantern,
followed the trail several hundred
yards and found where six horses had
been tied. They kept the trail until
it ran past an old millsite on through
a blind trail, which was abandoned
several years ago. For several miles
they followed the blind trail until it
entered the main county road and it
was shown that the horsemen headed
for Texarkana. Ward and Taylor
were exhausted and returned to the
main posse. When they reported the
entire posse returned here and the
trail was abandoned. One of the
horses known to have been used by
the robbers was found by Ward and
Taylor, 1t being the property Of
negro. From this house the first
start toward the capture of the men
who are believed to be implicated was
made.
News reached here last night that
the agent at Redwater, seven miles be.

man who is believed to be one of the
bandits. The entire county is swarm.

All the Companies Preparing for Trouble

Almost Inevitable.

Pittsburg, Kan, Sept. 6.-The min
ers' strike situation looks more Sc
rious. The miners national board has
authorized the district board to ust
extreme measures II necessary II
force the Big Four operators tc
terms. President Richardson, of the
miners union, said last night: 1--WE
will order strike tomorrow II we
can find no other way of securing a
settlement. Ninety per cent. of the
men will walk out"
State Labor Commissioner Johnson
Is here and has offered his services
as arbitrator. The district board de-
cided, however, that arbitration is
not wanted for the present.
All the companies are preparing
for trouble. Stockades are being built
about the mines and guards are being
posted. There is a bad feeling be-
tween union and non-union men and
serious trouble may ensue.
The miners district board will meet
to-day and canvass the situation. The
calling Of the strike can hardly be
avoided now as failure to do so
would, in the minds of the miners,
mean the disorganization of the
union. The companies have offered
the men every concession except the
recognition Of the union.

Texarkana, Ark, Sept. 5.-The six
men who held up the Cotton Belt
! passenger train at Eylau, Tex, Tues
day night are still at large. The rob-
beers evidently rode their horses up
Aiken creek and left them standing
in the stream. They then used
handcar and went five miles north,
as the handcar was found near where
the train was stopped. After looting
the mail and express cars the rob-
beers returned to the creek, mounted
their horses and again rode down the
stream, thus obliterating their trails.
At one o'clock yesterday afternoon
a special train was dispatched to the
scene of the hold-up with Col. O. K.
Wheeler, chief Of the Cotton Belt de-
tectives; Sheriff Stanley Edwards,
United States Marshal John Grant
and large posse Of deputies, who
had with them pack OF bloodhounds.
An effort was made to strike
trail leading to Aiken creek. At
four o'clock another posse, headed by
Constable James Rochelle, left for
Eylau to try for a trail where the
train was first stopped. Texas
sheriffs are rushing here from every
direction and are bringing many
deputies.
Last night the posses returned here,
having called the bloodhounds from
the track. It has been discovered that
the robbers secured one bag Of gold
which required the combined efforts
Of two men to carry from the ex-
press car to the engine. The through

remainder being boys. The arrest Of

nearly $4,000.
The Cotton Belt has offered re-
ward Of $500 for the robbers and the
express company ten per cent. of all
money recovered. All the posses have
been recalled to Texarkana and pur-
suit is now confined strictly to Tex.

REVIEW OF TRADE.


New York, Sept. 7.-Bradstreet's
says: Trade advices are, as rule,
very good. Fall demand, now in full
swing at the east, west and northwest,
compares well with last year, and
business continues to expand at the
south. Specially marked features are
the reports Of a large seasonable dis
tribution, heavy shipments and i'm
proved collections from leading west
ern centers. The steel strike is
gradually nearing its end despite ef-
forts to keep the trouble open. In
the meanwhile demand steadily grows
and promises for quick delivery of af-
fected products mount up. Much OF
the business usually offering has been
merely postponed, and great activity
awaits the reopening mills. Pig iron
Is in better demand at nearly all mar
kets, and foundry and forge iron are
in larger demand, even at Pittsburg.
The cotton trade is in an interesting
position. The actual yield in the sea-
son just closed was 10,3s3,OOO bales,
valued at nearly $5OO,OOO,OOO, the
largest value ever received for an
American cotton crop. The latest
government crop report shows that
on 100000 out of 27,532,OOO acres
planted the condition is better than
a year ago, and the outlook is there
fore, for somewhat larger yield than
last year.
Two months Of the cereal year have
passed, and despite the pressure Of re-
ceipts from the largest wheat crop
ever produced in the United States
and Canada, primary receipts are Is
per cent. larger than year ago.
Corn is slightly stronger on improving
speculative interest, while oats are
steady. Hog products are higher.
The statistical position Of lard is
very strong.
For the week business failures num-
Der 1859, as against 1888 last week and
154 in this week o year ago.

TEACHERS AT MANILA,


Washington, Sept. 6.-The cabled
report from Manila to the effect that
the newly-arrived American teachers
at mass meeting Wednesday decided
to cable to the president complain.
ing that promised commissary priv
ileges were denied them and that they
found their expenses double what
they were assured they might expect,
attracted considerable attention at
the war department. The privilege
OF purchasing commissary stores of
the government warehouses in the
Philippines was taken away from all
civilian employees by order of the Sec
rotary Of war issued in June, and as
that order was widely published it
was presumed that the teachers
who sailed subsequently to its issu-
ance were aware of its existence. The
letter and circular issued by the war
department to applicants for these
positions in the Philippines contain
no direct statement upon the subject
OF commissary privileges, but the
promise that they would have these
privileges might have been assumed
from some statements contained in
q manual OF information relative to
the Philippine civil SERVICE" which
was published in Manila early in the
present year and to which attention
was invited by Col. Edwards, chief of
the division Of insular affairs, in his
circular to applicants. The pamphlet,
in setting forth the conditions in the
islands for the information Of Amer
leans seeking positions in the civil
service there, contains the following
regarding the purchase OF commits
saries:
MANY Of the Americans secure
rooms with private families and
board in messes, the provisions being
purchased from the commissary. The
food obtained from the commissarv
stores is the best and tho average
cost for room and board for those
who live in this manner is about $35 |
a month. 1t is also proposed to es-
tablish stores similar to the army
commissary stores for the benefit Of
civilian employees. The stores will be
we'll stocked with provisions and
other pecessaries and civilian EN-
ployes will be able to purchase from
these stores at about ten per cent.
above the cost to the government"
The pamphlet containing the above
statement was mailed to each Of the
,eachers appointed, but attention was
lot called to the fact that the priv.
lege of buying supplies at the gov
,rnment commissary had been discon-
inued. The government was COM
,elled to cut off this privilege both to
top the frauds which were discov-
red to be due to its operation and
lso to satisfy the regular merchants
n the islands, who were complaining
hat the furnishing Of supplies by the
United States was closing one of their
main channels of revenue.
