FRENCH FLEET ON THE WAY.
The Report of It's Return to Toulon Was
Incorrect.
(By the Associated Press.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The dispatch from
Toulon announcing the return of Adj
miral Caillard's division of the French
Mediterranean Squadron to that port
proves to be incorrect. The officials of
the Foreign Office today informed the
Associated Press that the Admiral was
not returned and that the facts set forth
in these dispatches yesterday are cor
rect. The Admiral is now on his way
to Turkish waters.
The incorrect announcement from
Toulon of the return of Admiral Gail
lard's division, which created a great
sensation, emanated from the CORE
spoadent of a we'll known agency. The
expectation is that. Admiral Maigret,
commander of the Mediterranean fleet,
returned to Toulon at o'clock yester-
day evening with all his vessels except
those belonging to Admiral Caillard' S
division. The correspondent of the news
agency referred to miscounted the YES
sells.
A corrected list of Admiral Caillard's
ships is now published. A special
squadron was formed, composed of the
battleships Gaulois and Charlemagne,
the cruisers Admiral Pothuau, Chanzey,
and Galilee, and two torpedo-boa de-
stroyers of the Hallabarde type.

CASE FOR THE GOVERNOR,
Effort to be Made For the Pardon of Walter
Daniels.

An effort will be made to secure the
pardon of Walter Daniels, the young
white man who was arrested here a few
days since and taken back to Durham
after having escaped from the work
house nine years ago.
When a mere boy Daniels was arrest
ed for stealing two watches in Durham.
This was in 1893. He served in the ma
rine corps in the war with Spain, and
received an honorable discharge. Since
then he has been in Raleigh. assisting
his mother in conducting a store. He is
an only child.
The Durham Herald says:
"rlere was arrested in Raleigh yes
terday young man who escaped from
the work house here in 1894, while yet
boy. Since his escape he has settled in
Raleigh, engaged in business and is in
every way Il worthy citizen If nothing
is done in his behalf he will of course
serve the remainder of his sentence. yet
taking everything into consideration, we
think the Governor would not make a
mistake in granting him pardon. He
is now a good citizen; what he will be
after serving term on our roads no
man can tell"

DR. HASSELL IN JAIL
An Insurance Impaster Fin
ally Run Down.
com'r. Young Makes an important Capture
Near Rowland. To be Tried at KenIy
Monday.

Or" Hassell, an insurance sharp who
has passed under different Initials, has
been arrested in Robson county at the
instance of the Commissioner of Insur-
ance, Mr.. j. r. Young, who returned from
that place yesterday
He has been carried TO Smithfield,
where he is now in Jail there. The pre-
liminary hearing takes place at Henley
Monday. Mr.. E. S. Abell represents the
prisoner and Mr.. E. w. Pou has been
retained to prosecute for the State.
Commissioner Young has been on Has
sells trail for long while and he is
wanted on the charge of acting as an in
surance agent without license. and also
on the charge of representing an I'M
licensed and fraudulent company. 1t Is
alleged that Hassell has been soliciting
business without license for the Equitable
Life Insurance Company. The offense
fer which he was most sought was So
Letting for the Wayne Life Insurance
Company of Indianapolis, company
which Commissioner Young has refused to
license. and which he believes to be
fraudulent in it's dealings.
The knowledge that DIR" Hassell was
operating in the State was reported to
the Insurance Department more than a
month ago. He has been soliciting bust
ness at Kenly Lucoma, Ramona. Wilson,
Rocky Mount. Ashepole and Rowland.
Commissioner Young had warrants issued
for him and was on his trail for four
days, but he disappeared.
He was located again in Robson coun-
ty, and last Tuesday Commissioner Young
went there to investigate. Hassell was
near Rowland, a little place not far from
the South Carolina line. Deputy Sheriff
Mcleod went to the house where Hassell
and friend were said to be sleeping. He
found them in bed, both being exhilerated
with the fluid that cheers. Hassell said
he was not the man wanted. that his
name was C. w. and not G. r. Hassell.
However, when the deputy told him that
he must accompany him to Rowland Has
sell begged that he might go in the woods
short distance to get a drink. The
deputy accompanied him, but when they
had reached a spot considerable way
from the road the deputy refused to go
farther. HaSsell then pretended to be
very sick and spread his 200 avidupois out
on the ground. Nothing remained but
for the deputy to drag him through the
woods back 20 the road, which was no
easy task. The deputy finally secured as
sistance and Hassell was landed in bug
by and carried to Rowland. He reached
there too late for the train. so Mr.
Young had to remain over and awaited
the next train for Smithfield

no more attention to it. l did not APP
pear before committee in it's behalf
and knew very little about it.
Tho charter of Raleigh and other city
charters in the State give the privilege
of imposing license for the sale of whis-
key Immediately outside the corporate
limits. The bill gave opportunity to
those who paid such license to bring suit
for recovery. Immediately a number of
suits were instituted against the city
and several of them are on the docket
in ahe Supreme court. The cases in Raj
eigh will aggregate $4,000, and
if they are sustained by the Supreme
court the city will have to pay that sum.
Here is the bill which Mr.. Stewart.
unknowingly introduced and which may
result in serious embarrassment to Rail-
eigh and other cities in the State. 1t is

Very Short Crop in Sampson.

That the cotton crop in Sampson is the
shortest we have had in years, there can

business men say that it cannot exceed
one fourth of last years yield. and that
it is the shortest, by far. in their recol-
