posed. while she is here, to run eXcur-
sions on her on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Fayetteville and Wilmington
Steamboat Company's wharf at Fay
etteville will be completed in time for
the Inauguration of the company's line
between here and that city. The wharf
will be under a sixty foot embankment

The Atlantic Coast Line officials here
say that they cannot give any informa-
ton about the rumors about the Penn

Iof the Coast Line. Apropos of this
Question, the Richmond Dispatch of
yesterday contained the following spe-
lcial dispatch:
New York. March "A. - If signs
here hold good, and the rumors
thick in the money district are verified
according to promise, there will be
Isome important and startling changes

within the next few weeks. A we'll
defined story, rapidly gaining credence
to-day, is hat the Southern Railway,
Ieither by itself or in conjunction with
the Atlantic Coast Line, is negotiating
for the Plant system. The story even
1goes so far as to give details Of the
proposed basis of negotiation, which
lis said to be a guarantee OF Az per

properties. If these should be secured.
they would add 1900 miles 70 the
Southern system.
The story, published a few days ago.
that the Pennsylvania has bought the
Atlantic Coast Line, is denied, but it is
apparently certain that there is some
thing doing"
On top this comes unwonted activity

blocks of stock have changed hands
within the last few days. Both Allan

firm, with an advancing tendency. The

III following is from the Richmond
News:
New York, March 25.-Nothing de-
finite can be learned here regarding
the published report that the Morgan
Interests are trying to secure control
of the Louisville and Nashville and the
Atlantic Coast Lin railroads. Presi-
dent Samuel Spencer, of the Southern,
refused to discuss the Plant system or
Louisville and Nashville rumors. Chas.
Steele, a partner of Mr.. Morgan, re-
fused either to affirm or deny that a
IDEAL was on involving the control of
the Plant system by the A. c. L. and
ISoutheCn.
Wall street generally is certain that
there is something doing in I. & N.

change OF date was made, IL not at the
suggestion. then with the full approval

ment today. This date should he \

VIII not only mark the acquisition OF
full independence. but will be the Cuban
inauguration day. 1t having been deter
mined that President Palma shall be in
augurated on the same day that Amer

All but the smallest details OF the
change in Cuba ave been planned and
these remaining details were under ad-
justment at a meeting held at the war
department today.
Beside Secretary Root. President
Palma and Seniors Tamaya and Cues
ada and General Wood attended. The
meeting occurred in the secretary's Of
| flee.
Besides the final selection OF May 10th
as Cuban Independence day, two other
important conclusions were reached.
The first was that General Wood.
should. Immediately upon his return to
Cuba. issue a call converting the first
cuban congress in session on May 10th.
so that the body might employ the ten
days following that date in supplying
1 any l1piClafinn n acaccor-
sumption of full powers In the island.
The other conclusion was that there
should be no half way evacuation Of the
island. the present disposition is to
move the entire United States contin-
gent. civil and military. away from the
island. not even leaving a corporal's
guard of United States soldier In nv
of the camps except in the coast de-
lenses. which will be garrisoned by
United States troops.

Cuban government to assume all treaty
obligations and directs General Wood
to continue a small artillery force to

fenseless until the Cuban government

New York. March 25.-The prices. Of
contracts for the future delivery of cot
ton in New York continue to decline
under the influence of bearish manipu-
lation and the enforced liquidation Of
weakly margined spectators. Their
value has. however. nc reference to that
of spot cotton and it is my opinion that
hos who own the article in the south
will consult their own best interests by
refusing TO accept current prices. The
foreign demand is shown by the facts
that while receipts today at the ports
are only $4,000 bales, exports are $4,000
bales. and with this rapid depletion of
the remnant of cotton remaining in
America. there can be no question as TO
its commanding better prices before he
end of the season.

POCKET PICKED
Mr.. HERBERT SMITH RELIEVED OF TWO
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
His Pocket Book Was Cut from His
Inside Coat POcket Last NiSht-it
Contained $1,000 in Cash and
About $500 I'm Checks and Drafts.

Mr.. Herbert Smith. a young man of
Kenansville, Y. c., well known in Vii
mington, arrived here last night at 6
O'Clock and registered at The orion.
After supper he attended the perform
ance by the Grau Opera Company at
the opera house and when he came out
he missed a big pocket BOOK which he
carried on his inside coat pocket on the
right side. He found that a slit had
been cut across the bottom Of his
pocket from the outsideJard the pocket
book thus extracted. The pocket book
contained about $1,000 in currency and
about 1000 in checks and drafts which
he brought to Wilmington 10 deposit
for himself and others.
Mr.. Smith reported his loss at police
headquarters and city detective Robert
Green was also notified. The officers
worked on the case all night but had
little to go upon, as Mr.. Smith is not
sure whether he lost the money on the
train while coming here OF after he
reached the city. At first he said the
last time he felt the pocket book and
knew he had it was when near Will
mington but afterwards he said he re-
collected that he la it after he got off
h train. He never missed it till after
ne came out of the opera house.
Mr.. Smith might have been robbed in
the jam of people coming from the
opera house last night but a probable
theory is that he was robbed on the
train. 1t is said that crooks are now on
every train bound to and from the
Charleston exposition. and some of
these light fingered gentry were either
on the train or have stopped over to do
Wilmington. The work, at any rate,
was done by an expert.
