His First Day as Pope.
(By the Associated Press.l

Rome, August Pope Plus arose at
$50 this morning, saying that he did not
wish to change his habits. He slept last
night in the apartment occupied by Car
dinal Oregla during the interregnum.
which is situated on the first floor of tho
Vatican. No decision has been taken con-
corning the Pontiff's ultimate quarters,
but it is already said that he desires them
to be extremely modest.
At 7:15 the Pope said mass, assisted
only by Mgr Bressan, his conclavist. He
afterwards took breakfast, which consist
ed of only coffee, milk and a roll. Then,
as he stood against the window, from
which he caught glimpse of the gardens
of the Vatican, the Pontiff exclaimed:
''My first pleasure, when 1 can spare a
moment, will be to explore the gardens
which now confine my little world.
Heigho, how shall get on without my
long country tramps; how shall l miss
them and my Sect
Pope Plus wished to see personally most
of the innumerable kilograms of congratu-
lation received, giving instructions for the
answers to those for which he cared most,
and looked at the copies, changing here
and there word.
The third and last audience of the
Sacred College was consummated this
morning with the same ceremonial as be
fore, in the Sistine Chapel. the Pope be-
ing in his full pontifical robes and palpa-
bly, restored in mind and nerves by a
nights rest The cardinals filed before
him and kissed his hand and foot, all
smiling and apparently in perfectly con-
tented frame of mind. They themselve.
in turn received a hearty embrace from
Plus X. The music was directed by Abbc
Perosi, who was the Pontiff's protege ali
present remarking how the Sistine choir
had improved its method since being
under the Abbe's care. Every available
corner of the small chapel was filled this
morning and those present seemed to for
get Plus X in their pleasure in the mag
nifcent harmony of the voices Of the
choir, and the feast of color as they rest
ed their eyes on the pictures before them.
The ceremony ended about noon.
Both going to and coming from the
Sistine Chapel when he passed through
the Raphael Ioggia and the ducal hall the
Pope refused to, be carried in the se6ia
gestatoria, which, however, followed him,
After taking a few steps, he turned to
Mgr. Bisleti, and said:
II shall never voluntarily get into that
box
The new Pope has confirmed Cardin2l
OregHa as camerlengo. Cardinal Agliardi
will probably be Secretary of State.
The Pope, yielding to the pressure ex-
ercised by the foreign cardinals, who are
DESTROYS of returning to their respective
countries as soon as possible, has decided
that his coronation shall take place next
Sunday.
The Associated Press representative was
received in audience today by Pope Plus,
being the first journalist of any nationality
to have this honor. The Pontiff gracious
ly granted the prayer of the correspond
ent to send a MESA ge to the American
people, saying, word for word
Il love the Americans, who are the
blooming youth of Catholicism. Convey
to all of them how gladly I impart my
apostolic blessing to the whole country"

Wilmington, n. c., Aug. 5.-Capt Bry-
ant M. Potter, one of the best known and
most competent coast pilots in the South,
was drowned this morning from the steam
er Franklin Pierce" operated by Messrs.
Brooks and Taylor, of this city, between
Wilmington and Shallotte, N. c.
The steamer was on her way to Shallotte
and passed out at Southport about nine
o'clock. Capt. Potter was in the after
cabin when the boat went to sea, but
about an hour later one of the crew dis
covered that he was missing. The deck
of the steamer was piled high with mis-
cellaneous freight, and it is thought that
in attempting to climb over this he lost
his footing and fell overheard.

FEELINa IN NEW BERN,
Intense Excitement at First. Greatest Sur.
prise Ever Known.

New Bern, N. c., Aug. 5.-There have
been no new developments today in re-
gard to the defalcation of Cashier Dewey
of the Farmers and Merchants Bank. of
this city When the news was given out
late last night twothrds of the depositors
were asleep. However, early this morning
the news soon spread and the town was
thrown into state of intense excitement,
but when they read the statement issued
by the directors, that all depositors would
be paid dollar for dollar, things quoted
down.
1t is needless to say that the an
nouncement that the bank had gone into
liquidation was the greatest surprise this
city has received for some time. All kinds
of rumors are afioat on the streets, but as
they are not official little uneasiness is
felt. But it may be expected that some
new developments will take place in the
next few DAYS.
1t is said that the reason assigned for
Mr.. Deweys action is that
he has been dealing in cotton futures
pretty heavily of late, and the slump that
came some days ago put him to the wall.
Mr.. Dewey owns a magnificent home out
on National Avenue, also he is interested
in several tracts of timber lands. He is
also treasurer, of the local lodge of Elks,
director of the North Carolina Railroad
and a Mason.
1t is said the shortage in his accounts
will reach $4,000, but this is
not positive, as it will take several days
before the exact amount can be ascertain
ed
The last quarterly statement of the
bank shows that the bank was in healthy
condition. The following is the statement:

WHERE Is THE HOSTILE FLEET,
The Naval Manoervers Along the New Eng
land Coast.
(Bv the Associated Press


Portland, e., August 5--At midnight last
night that portion of the New England
coast from the British boundary to Cape
Anne had been theoretically threatened
by hostile fleet for period of II hours,
but so far as known the enemy had not
taken advantage of the northeast storm
and thick weather to slip past the defend
ing fleet and establish himself i'll any har-
Dor. The attacking feet has been at sea
for about three days and will have till
Saturday TO win the game planned by the
naval experts in Washington, of occupy
ing any of the harbors on this portion of
the coast for a period of five R1urs with
out being discovered
1t is expected that the attacking fleet
will head for some of the many harbors
to the eastward of this port, as those to
the westward, especially to the New
Hampshire and Massachusetts coast are
comparatively few.

Dunn, N. c., August 1.-THE Dunn to-

large sales at both warehouses. The town
is thronged with people from Harnett and
the adjoining counties. The prices are
not as high as usual and some of the
| farmers express dissatisfaction. Despite
tins fact the warehousemen are hopeful
and expect to do a good business. The
| buyers here are experienced tobacco men
and are IN the position TO buy almost any
amount and pay the highest prices. This
section has been visited by good rains and
the crops are wonderfully improving.
The prices were undoubtedly lower than
last year and look of disappointment APP

should remember, however, that it is early

the American Tobacco Company are pre-
