H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER

Especial to the News and Observer
New Orleans, Sept. EARLY Liver
pool advices were disappointing conse q.
quently our market opened to points
lower, subsequently, however the later
Improvement in Liverpool coupled to the
unfavorable weekly weather report and
the anticipation of a poor monthly bu-
reau tomorrow caused an Improvement
of IA points from the bottom. Realizing
near the close occasioned a slightly
easier feeling, making thenet gain of 6
to points on the day. The fact that
rains have been general east of the Mis-
sissippi river during the past week and
that Texas has had general rains during
the past two days led many to believe
that the weekly weather report would
be more favorable than last week. 1T
seems though that the Texas rains were
not included in that States report, but
in the Washington summary an addenda
was added as follows: THE weather
may fthis date, September 2, shows
that good rains fell over large part
of Texas during the "a hours ending 3
a. m. September End" Nevertheless
while TaXas rains We're not included in
the itemized report by States, mention
was made as above and while 1T was
admitted that rains had fallen gener-
ally in the other States it was claimed
to have come too late to prove bene-
fetal. Therefore, according to these
correspondents absence of rains cause
deterioration and the NATURALIZATION or
rains also, consequently there is MOTH
ing which will cause any Improvement
in the condition of the plant. 1t is such
kind of reports which cause operators
to be skeptical. They do not forget that
the bureaus estimate for last season s
crop was 1874, 000 that Mr.. Prices
estimate up to March 18th was 9,453,OOO;
that Mr.. r. T. Wilson & Co.'S was
9 100000 and that the census bureau S
estimate on April LIST was 100000, and
that the actual outturn of the crop was
10, 691 900, or from 100000 to 100000
, over these estimates. The same parties
who issued these estimates are again
disseminating sensational reports OF
damage. While there has been the
usual August desperation we do not
think the crop prospects are as PAD as
claimed The bureaus general average
condition tomorrow is expected to be
around 20 per cent. as compared TO fI'I4
per cent last year. If these figures are
correct and outsiders are attracted to
the article the chances are values VIII
enhance further, especially as the world
believes that large crop is requisite
this year to meet requirements

PLAIN WORDS FROM PAGE.
He Serves Notice on Republicans. am in
Harmony With Democratic Ideas.
lsnacia1 TO News and Obseryer. J


Rockingham, N. c.. Sept. "A GOOD
gathering of Democrats assembled in the
court house today to hear two magnln-
cent speeches, which opened the cam
paign in Richmond. Hon. James a.
Lockhart made strong speech, discuss
ing the application of fundamental DEM
ocratic principles to the great natlonal
question. Our nominee for CONFESS, Hon.
Robert N. Page, made his first speech
! of the campaign, and if the Republicans
expected any comfort from MIN they
were entirely disappointed.
Touching upon the allure OF the Repup-
licans to nominate candidate against
him, MIR. Page said that he appreciated
the compliment paid his character, ana
supposed interest in the industrial well
fare of the Seventh district as expressed
in the resolution (Which however, was
not an endorsement passed by their con-
vention on August 9th at Lexington.
He said that it was no greater surprise
to any one in the district than himself;
that he had expected opposition, and for
many reasons preferred it. He declared
himself in absolute harmony, not for
policies sake, but because of deep con-
viction with Democratic ideas and ideals;
that he wanted all the votes he could get,
but not one under false Dretence or by
any sort of deception.
He served notice on any Republicans
present, and said he wanted, through the
press, to serve it upon every one in the
district, that in the campaign upon which
he was entering he should with all the
zeal and earnestness of his being, adVo-
cate Democratic doctrines, and in the
5Sth Congress only advocate, and work
and vote for those measures that are in
harmony with the Democratic platform,
not simply in a spirit of opposition, but
because he believed these things right.
and for the best interest of all the
people.
He then devoted twenty minutes to
State politics-comparing the admins
tration of public affairs under the last
two Democratic Legislatures and DEM
ocratic State officials with the Fusion
legislatures of '95 and '97 and Governor
Russell's reign. Instead of making any
apology for having spent million dol
lars more than did the Fusionists. he
claimed it was the glory of Democratic
rule, since it was spent for the eduea-

Battle With a Desperate Negro.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. This afternoon
Jerry Hunter, negro, shot at man who
was passing along the beach beat.
John McKenna, a patrolman, was sent to
arrest Hunter and Hunter shot him
from ambush. McKenna now is lying
in st. Joseph's Hospital in Long Island
City, dying. Both his eyes were destroy
ed by a load of buckshot. Three other
patrolmen were sent to effect Hunter
capture, and in an attempt to carry the
house by storm, Patrolman Arthur Brill
received a load of buckshot in the face,
destroying one eye. The charge struck
him full in the face and chest He, too.
is likely to die.
The reserves then were ordered out
but as it was growing dark, it was deem
ed best to wait until daylight to capture
the man.
Soon after the police had posted the
guard, Hunter opened fire on them. -Four
officers were wounded.
After at least two hours of shooting
on both sides Hunter set fire to the
house or it caught fire. Hunters wife
ran out by the front door and attacked
the men with an old sabre. In the ex-
citement Hunter escaped by the rear
but he was run down and captured.

out increasing the present rate of State
taxation.
He dwelt on the claim of Republicans
that the only issue between the two
parties this year is prosperity, and said
that if such was the case the Republi-
can legislators would be entitled TO all
the creditor this prosperity, and that
the law of supply and demand, the
bountifulness of nature by which the
crops were watered and the beautiful
sunshine sent to cherish the young
plants into life, would have nothing to
do with 1.-The proposition that the Re-
publican party is directly responsible for
all prosperity and that God and nature
has nothing to do with it, is ridiculously
absurd and will be believed by no one.
He then quoted some official statistics
compiled by the Statistician of the Agri-
cultural Department showing how little
tariff affects the price of farm products
Mr.. Henderson also declared that he
could show by the governments official
figures that a workingman could live
better in 1896, when wages were low
than he can now.
He then touched on the trusts and
after an explanation of their many evils
he said:
"A tariff law like the Dingley act
which permits trusts in this country
intrenched behind protective laws
either tariffs or patents, to sell thelI
goods abroad at lower figures than they
sell them at to the very nation whose
people give them the protection that Is
thei Rife is not justifiable. 1t is rob-
berry. The man who said he was selling
goods below cost, and so could only
maintain himself by doing very large
business at it, is a by-word for idiocy
No successful concern sells it's products
at less than cost; and if goods be sold al
a certain figure in London or South
Africa. when made in American, then
thev can be sold for more profit right
here where they are made, and the man
who denies that seriously needs con-
servator. The protection given to trusts
that sell abroad cheaper than at home
should be taken off at once. 1 Will re-
mind Mr. Hiss that the American manu-
faeturers of cotton mill machinery sell
this some American made machinery ~
foreigners in their own land much
cheaper than they, do to Americans In
the home market. AS the Hartford
Courant has said: This is robbery.

Brilliant Feat of the Olympia.
(By the Associated Press.)

Woodshole, Mass, Sept. 1.-The
United States cruiser Olympia dashed
into this port this forenoon, landed a
force and seized all telegraph, telephone
and cable stations, thereby cutting off
all communication with Martha's Vine
yard and Elizabeth Island.
OF course the seizure and the distruc-
tion of telegraphic and cable facilities
We're figurative and it required the de-
csion of an umpire to make plain wheth-
err or not the point attempted by Admiral
Higginson had been won.
AS the landing was made, the tele-
graph and phone offices were entered by
sufficient force to have destroyed the
property, or at least the instruments
and at the same time boats crew had
located the cables with graphing hooks
and had held them sufficient period to
have allowed for the cutting of them,
There seemed to have been no question
that the move had been entirely success
full.
The Olympia appeared off this port
suddenly early this morning and imme-
diately two boats put off toward shore.
One was a launch and the other whale
boat, and in them was detachment I'M
der Lieut. L. NJ. Everhardt. The launch
landed here, while the whale boat lay OFF
shore and at once began graphing for
the cable. The men under Lieut.. Ever
hardt rushed to the office of the Mar
thas Vineyard Telegraph Company and
then to the telephone station and carried
out their orders to make the seizure.
Having accomplished this work they re-
turned to their launch, joined the whale
boat and returned to their ship
This move cut off the only communica-
ton with the islands of Nantucket and
Martha's Vineyard, which are very i'm
portant observation stations.

W. d appearance nothing tended to show
that she had been cruelty beaten. She
bersolf acknowledged that the punish
ment. while not exactly just, was only a
few light ticks and that she was in noWise
injured.
Mayor Powell, after hearing the evil
dence decided that a man has right
n whip his wife if he does it with
nothing larger than a switch. Bates left
the court room with a smile of victory
on his face that portended no good to
his better half. while his wife wore that

say "You may beat me all you like but
only do it with a switch"

FIFTEEN PEOPLE WOUNDED.
In the Struggle to Arrest the Negro Huntel:
He is Captured Finally.
fBy the Associated Press.)

New York Sept. FERRY Hunter, the
negro who shot a number of policemen
land set fire to his house, in Queens bor-
ough. last night, in an effort to escape
arrest. was captured early today and
locked up in the Astoria jail In the
fight between Hunter and thoe who tried
to arret him eleven policemen, three
citizens and Hunters wife were wounded.
Mrs. Hunter, who helped her husband in
his efforts to escape was taken 20 Il hos
pital, where it was today said she was
in a serious condition. Hunter was badly
beaten in the struggle when he was
cought.
John McKenna. patrolman, was shot
in the head and face. Both his eyes were
destroyed and the wounds in his head
were so serious that his recovery was
thought to be doubtful.
Hunter was employed as care-taker OF
large tract of land near North Beach,
l.. /. Yesterday he saw a man digging
sand worms on the property and he shot
at the intruder, who ran away and told
Policeman McKenna what Hunter had
done McKenna ran to Hunters home and
was shot by the negro. The police re-
serves were called out then and seige
was begun which lasted until after two
o'clock this morning. Every time a
policeman moved from cover a shot would
be fired.
Fortunately for the police Hunter
seemed to have only shot gun. Shortly
after two o'clock this morning Hunter
set fire to the house and tried to es-
cape. Mrs. Hunter carried an old cav
hairy sabre and with this she fought until
overpowered, inflicting severe wounds on
Patrolman Cassidy. Hunter ran for a
patch of woods near the house but was
caught and subdued after a severe strug-
gle in which he was badly wounded.
