ONLY ONE ELECTION FIGHT
And That Was Short Mill With No
 Stake Money.

Francisco Escobosa was the only man who succeeded in working up enough election excitement yesterday to get himself licked. He tried all the afternoon to get into trouble with one or another, but everybody was so good natured Francisco could not rub the hafr the wrong way. That was the sit uatiOn till Q couple of hours after the democratic primaries were closed, but it could not go on forever.
 Francisco wandered from one saloon to another and threw down the gaunt- let to every little bunch of men he came to. Finally he forced his way into d crowd at the corner of First aV- enue and Washington streets. and be-
 gan to throw language around in { most careless and offensive manner. He did not seem to care who he hit or what kind of an expression he hit him with. One of his three cornered epithets struck man named Cox, who was always brave, and whose bravery was scientifically educated at the ex- pcnse of the government while Mir. Cox was a member of McCord'S fighting brigade.
 When Francisco landed this epithet he was gesticulating wildly, and MT. COX thought he meant what he said. so it was but natural for him to lead out with his right and follow with his left. It was unnecessary to do any thing further, for Francisco had closed up like a jackknife, and his friends were carrying him into Dolls saloon, on the corner. Constable Porterie hap pened to be near, and he told MT. Cox that it was his painful duty to place him under arrest, but that he could go on his own recognizance if he would

/Rockport, Mass, August 23.-The line of battleships of Admiral Higginson's fleet, which are defending a lengthy strip of the New England coast from a foreign fleet, put to sea under. urgent orders at o'clock tonight, indicating that some news has been received of Commander Pillsbury The weather conditions at 10 o'clock were slightly in favor of the enemy, the sky being overcast and an easterly blow prevail ing.
 Many dispatches came during the early evening, the tenor of them indi- eating that the white" squadron was not far at sea, off the Isles of Shoals, off Portsmouth. At 10 o'clock tonight the cruiser Olympia was inside the islands, the Brooklyn was cruising to seaward off shore and the Decatur was patrolling Portsmouth harbor.
 With Admiral Higginson's battleships bound northward it would appear that Commander Pillsbury is expected to make his run in toward land tonight off either Portsmouth or York harbors. This afternoon it was understood that one commander of Pillsbury's cruisers have been reported off Rockland, Me. This is a long distance beyond the northerly limit of the blockade line but it was suggested that either the enemy was making feint to draw a preponderance of the fighting strength of Admiral HigginsOn's fleet to Port could be made into Massachusetts bay or else Commander Pillsbury desired in- formation as to blockade conditions.
 The blue" squadron officers are cer- tain that the enemy has it's own in- telligence bureau along shore and has landed officers at Rockland, Maine. and Provincetown, Mass. Suspicious sig

Lieutenant owens Investigating in the
 Disputed Alaskan Territory.


 Disputed Alaskan Territory
 Tacoma, Wash, August 23.-Skagway advices say the question of the destruc- tion of an old Russion monument in the disputed territory between Alaska and British Yukon has been settled. s. Welt man, a merchant of Haines, arrived at Skagway with the news that Lieuten- ant Owens had found two monuments in perfect repair and definitely located the place where a third one had been destroyed. One of the monuments dis covered is about ten miles above Rainy Hollow, fifty miles from the coast Lieutenant Owens is now examining other parts of the boundary and will secure the statements of Indians.
 The monument destroyed was leveled to the ground. The destruction had evidently been wrought within a few months.
 Lieutenant Owens also found an old storm house on the summit. This was called Boundary house when the Rus sians occupied the country. The walls of the building are falling down, but there is every indication of occupation at one time. This establishes beyond all doubt that the Russians did occupy the territory now disputed and that the boundary line according to the treaty is where the Americans assert that it is.

THE TRUSTS IN POLITICS.

In a singularly wise interview, pub
lished in to-day's paper, Hon. Carl
Schurz points out that there is no hope
of antitrust legislation from the Repub-
licans or hope of any reduction of the
tariff except by the Democrats. He ex-
poses the fallacy of Senator Morgan S
absurd statement that the Democrats
ought not to want to carry the House,
and makes an appeal that ought to help
in the election of a Democratic House.
But the most significant thing in the
interview of Mr.. Schurz is this utterance;
"There is much talk about trusts, some
of which develop into oppressive and
blood sucking monopolies. This is not
their worst side. A much worse feature
is the political power they exert and of
which we already have had few alb
horrent examples
These 'abhorrent examples" We're seen
in North Carolina when the Cigarette
trust and the Southern Railway exerted
their every effort to carry North Caro-
lima for Mckinley in 1896. 1t is seen in

WATCH OUT FOR BOGUS TICKETS.

Mr.. CLYDE R. Hoey, Democratic chalr-
man of Cleveland county and candidate
for the State Senate, warns the voters
of his county of the latest Radical
scheme. He says:
81 have authentic information that the
Republicans have had a large number OF
bogus State tickets printed, and they
will be in circulation on election day. l
write this to warn Democrats to beware
of all schemes originating with the Re
publicans. Their ways are dark and
they are given over to the doing of vain
things. The bogus tickets to which l
refer contain the names of some Demo-
cratic nominees and some Republicans.
For instance, it is stated that on the
tickets may be found the Republican can
didate for Chief Justice and also the
name of Walter Clark for Associate
Justice, thus intending to deceive the
unsuspecting voter. l do not know that
any of these tickets will be circulated
in Cleveland county. but it will be well
for the voter to carefully inspect his
ticket before voting, or else get it from
the persons who will have Democratic
tickets in charge"
Websters Weekly also sounds the
note of alarm and says that there will
be tickets printed, walter E. Clark, 4"
and CIV. H. Clark" 1t also says that
tickets will be printed with Walter
Clark of Halifax" instead of Wake
county.
From another source it is learned that
two sets of tickets have been printed and
circulated with the name of II. G. Con-
nor on one for Chief Justice, and on the
other the name of P. D. Walker for
Chief Justice On both these tickets the
name of Walter Clark is printed for AS
ISOLATED Justice. OF course these tickets
are circulated by those who are friends
of neither of these gentlemen.
The men who have been opposing a
portion of the Democratic ticket in this
campaign have been posing as better
than other men, and have been standing
on the street corners thanking God that
they and they only had character, sand
and independence. And yet in the clos
ing days of the campaign, some Gf the
more holy-than-thou crowd are resort
ing to methods that might be expected
from hypocrites.
The result of all such frauds and at
tempted deception will be to cause the
real honest Independents to resent the
conduct of the shams and frauds who in
this campaign have been posing as hon
est independents.

DEMOCRATS WOULD NOT RESORT
TO IT.

"Why does not somebody say that 1t
is the duty of the voter to support
Judge Clark because he is the better
man."
That is what the Durham Morning
Herald, an independent paper, asked
yesterday The Herald has evidently
not heard the campaign speeches. No
body has made any attack upon Mr..
Hills private character but there is not
q man in North Carolina who knows both
men who will truthfully assert that Mr..
Hill is a better man than Judge Clark.
His private life is clean and is without
. stain or blemish. 1t is not necessary to
reflect upon Mr.. Hill as private citizen
to advocate Judge Clark's election. The
people who know him best esteem him
as an able lawyer and an honest gentle
man in his private life. But the people
any truthful criticism upon his private
life, as well as upon his public actions.
Ii the opponents of Judge Clark had
been as fair toward him as Democrats
have been toward Mr.. Hill. no question
such IS troubles the Herald could have
been raised. So far as we recall no
Democratic paper has made any assault
upon Mr.. Hill as a man. They could
have slandered him as truthfully as the
Morning Post, the Winston Republican,
the Asheyille Gazette and the Charlotte
Observer have slandered Judge Clark
fair toward Judge Hill-but it is impos-
sible to conceive that they would resort
to such attempts to put a stain upon his
personal reputation.

A "HOARY>HEADED MALODOROUS
OLD FRAUD"

The speech of ex-President Cleveland
yesterdays News and Observer, was a
vigorous and able plea for honest tariff
reduction in the interest of the masses Of
the people. The arrangement of the pres
ent trust-made tariff was strong and true
to the facts. Referring to the recent
qualified declarations of certain Repub-
licans, in response to the popular de-
mand for tariff reform. Mr.. Cleveland
ridiculed the plea of the Republican
pretense of favoring tariff readjustment
and their absurd plea that tariff read
justment should be entrusted to them.
Upon that point, he said:
How can we believe this when we see
still paraded up and down before our
sight, the hoary Headed, bloated and
malodorous old fraud and pretense that
the tariff should be revised by it's
friends? What have these friends of the
tariff done that they should again be
trusted? They have quieted the peoples
fears and professed solicitude for their
welfare, and promised to lead them to
pleasant places; and now that shoals and
rocks have been struck, they seek by
another promise to mend the whole at
fair, and retain the confidence and trust
OF. those they have deluded."
The ex-President never said anything
better. 'The hoary- headed, bloated and
malodorous old fraud and pretense" is
the best designation yet given of the
dishonest plea that the agents of the
trusts ought to be selected to take away
the bonuses given to trusts.
