WiTTE IN HIGH FAVOR.
Report That the Gar Has Appointed
Noted Diplomat as Premier.

Report That the Gar Has Appointed
Noted Diplomat as Premier.
1t Is persistently reported in the
clubs and in government circles at
st. Petersburg that the emperor has
appointed Count White premier with
the portfolio Of minister of finance.
All the papers give prominence to
the report.
Count Witte, it now seems, has def
Eitely come into imperial favor. and
the shrewdest observers consider 1t
certain that he will shortly be in act
i've direction of the government as
premier and head of a responsible
cabinet. Since his return from the
United States Count Witte has bold
ly ranged himself on the side of the
liberals. and has not only advocated
complete liberty Of speech of the
press and Of assembly, but has urged
the extension Of the powers of the
douna along the lines demonstrated
by the reformers as well as a broader
franchise so as to admit Of fuller rep
resentation from to ranks OF labor
and the cultured classes.

CONTINUOUS OvATIONS
Marked Presidents Trip Through Old
North state-0reat Day at the
Raleigh Fair.

The ovation which President Roose-
veit received during his journey
through portion of Virginia Wed
nesday was continued Thursday as
he Travelled through the state of North
Carolina. Beginning with his arrival
at Raleigh, at O'clock a. M, he was
greeted by the cheering crowds at
Durham. Greensboro, High Point, Lex
ington, Salisbury and Charlotte, the
demonstration in Charlotte being
fitting farewell of the citizens of the
Old Tarheel State.
The feature Of the day was the pres
ident's visit to TIE fair which is in
progress at Raleigh. There he deliver
ed an address which dealt with the
important questions of railroad own
ership and the organization of capital
and labor His speech was given close
attention, and he was frequently in
terrupted by hearty applause He was
accompanied to the fair grounds by
Mrs. Roosevelt, and she, too, was the
recipient of much attention.
A bit Of sentiment was responsible
for brief stop at Lexington, where
the president was greeted by several
hundred people, to whom he spoke
briefly. Lexington is the county seat of
Davidson county, which was the only
county in North Carolina to give Mr..
Roosevelt a majority at the last ma
tiOnal election. Another reason for the
request was that the president might
be greeted by the three hunGrd or
phan childrn who are being cared for
in an asylum there. The little ones
made a pretty sight, waving tiny
American flags, as the train came to
a stop.
The presidents train stopped In
Spartanburg about five minutes on
Thursday night to change engines. A
large crowd had gathered at the sta
ton and the president came on the
rear platform of his car and addressed
them. The following kilograms were
made public Thursday night:
Columbia, 8. c., October 10. 1905.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Charlotte,
N. c.: / wish you pleasant jour
ney to Atlanta, where expect to
meet you and join in your welcome
to the south. D. C. HEYWARD,
Governor"
Charlotte, N. c., October 19.-Hon.
D. c. Hayward, Governor OF South
Carolina. Columbia, 8. c.: thank you
for your most cordial telegram. 1 re-
member with keen pleasure my visit
to South Carolina three years ago,
and only regret that lack of time for
bids my again visiting your great
state On this trip.

PRESIDENTS FAREWELL.
Rosevelt's Visit to New Orleans
Brings His Pleasant Trip Through
the South to an End.

At the end of nine strenuous hours
OF varied entertainment in New Or
leans, which brought his exceptionally
pleasant trip through the south to
close, President Roosevelt, at $50
o'clock Thursday night, boarded the
lighthouse tender Magnolia and later
went aboard the armored cruiser West
Virginia, which lay at anchor off the
mouth of the river to receive him.
For four days he will be absent from
American soil, which has never here
tofore happened to president during
his incumbency, but through the
means of wireless telegraphy it is
promised that he will be seldom out
of communication with the shore, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
staunch vessel in which he is to
travel will carry him safely to his
journeys end-the national capital.
The presidents New Orleans re-
ception was a signal testimonial of
popular esteem and of grateful recog-
milton of the service which he hal
rendered the city in her period OF
stress. New Orleans remembered not
only that the president had acted with
characteristic promptness when asked
to put the federal surgeons in charge
of the fever struggle, but that
throughout the fight he had sustained
the people Of the stricken city with
expressions of unfailing sympathy, and
when large share of the public opin-
ion Of the country opposed his ven
turing into New Orleans with the fe-
yer still prevalent, he refused to con-
slider the element Of personal danger
and declared his purpose to keep the
promise he made when he accepted
the original invitation.
Probably for the first time in his
public career the president was com
PEELED to abandon a public address
before he had got well started on 1t.
1t was contemplated that the military
and civic parade should pass in re-
NlCW USLOIC luC pICOluCuL dI Iu6 Cily
hall, but the crowd which gathered
at this point was so tremendous that
neither the police nor the troops were
able to move it, and the president,
foreseeing a possible catastrophe, in
the event Of panic, finally gave up
the attempt to speak and left the
p1atfonm.
When he decided to abandon his eff
fort he shouted to the throng to go
home and be good citizens, and then
disappeared into the mayors parlors,
well nigh exhausted. To those about
him he expressed himself as immense
ly pleased with the demonstration in
his honor.
The climax of the days entertain
ment was the luncheon. which started
shortly after o'clock. and was pro-
longed fifteen minutes beyond the
time set for it, as a result Of the
continuous ovation given to the pres.

COTTON VERY SHORT
Bales Ginned to 18Th Octo-
Der Were Only 4,94O,
CENSUS BUREAU REPORT
Figures Were 6,417,894 Bales.
Two Hours Delay of Report
Erlnss a Complaint.

A total OF 4,940,72S bales OF cotton
ginned in the United States up to Oc
tober 18 is the statement announced
In bulletin issued by the census
bureau at Washington Wednesday. In
this calculation, round bales are coun-
ted as half bales and the figures CIV
en- in the bulletin are based on re-
ports made by the bureaus special
agents in the field.
No estimate is made of the total
crop for the year, but figures are
given out concerning crops OF former
years. These figures show that up to
this date in 1904 the product OF the
gins had reached a total of 6,417,-
S94 bales, out of a total of 1858,
279 bales for the year. In 1905, the
total production was 10,045,615 bales,
and the ginning output up to Octobe.
rs was 3,706,248; in 1902 the total
was 10,S27,16S, and the amount to
Oct. 25 was 5,6S3,0O6. Wednesdays re-
port covered 26,364 ginneries, and the
statements upon which it was prepar
ed were supplied by telegraph by 7O2
special agents in the field, most Of
them representing one county each.
The fact that the bulletin was not
issued until o'clock, two hours af-
ter the usual time, caused some COM
plant from brokers in different cities,
and some Of these, which reached the
bureau before the document was Civ
en- to the public, were of sensa-
tional character. One from Secretary
Hester of the New Orleans cotton ex-
change was as follows:
New Orleans. La, October 25, 1905.
Hon. S. D. North, Director of the
Census, Washington, D. c.: Much
disappointment and dissatisfaction
here at delay in issuing ginners' re-
port to 2 p. m. Bache & Co. of New
York wired Hayward, Wick & Clark
of New Orleans as follows:
David Miller has just made the
statement to the effect that the gin
ners' report has been delayed from
II o'clock to O'Clock, so as to al
low more time to certain parties to
sell cotton on, and says he will stand
by the above
"One rumor here is that the re-
port will show, counting round as half
bales, 100000. All kinds of rumors
are being spread and parties are sell
ing the market down under suspicion
of something wrong in your bureau.
I send this because l think it proper
you should know it, The David Miller
referred to was the receiver Of Sully

GI EXITING OF ALABAMA
Extended With Wide-open Arms to
Nations Chief Executive-Great
Day In City of Mobile.

That peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war was never
better exemplified than in the recep-
ton accorded to Theodore Roosevelt,
president Of the United States. during
his two hours stay in the historic
city of Mobile, Ala, Monday even
ing.
There was a general closing Of all
business houses and along the route
Of the procession from the union de-
pot to the stand on Bienville square,
where the reception ceremonies took
place the residences and stores were
covered with decorations Of lights and
bunting in the national colors. The
route lay out Government street, one
Of the most noted crives in the south,
for ten blocks, passing the homes OF
some Of Mobiles most influential cit
liens, her chief educational institu-
tons, the Barton academy, and one
of her historic churches, the Govern.
ment Street Presbyterian.
The president seemed to be deeply
touched by his reception and alluded
to the warmth of the greeting in his
speech, In which he said, in part:
II cannot sufficiently express my
appreciation Of the magnificent greet
ing that you have given me today.
The man would be but poor Ameri-
can who could meet you here, my
fellow citizens, without being stirred
and feeling that he must even more
than before strive to do all that in
him lies for our common country. l
know that the rest of you will not
grudge my saying that most of all
am touched by the sight Of men who
wore the gray in the great war, pa
rading here today. I have just been
presented by Judge Semmes with q
beautiful badge. passed by the
statue Of Admiral Semmes as we
drove up hither. Adhafral Semmes had

record of American rule for integrity,

''The last time I came through this
beautiful, historical city of yours, l
was going with my own regiment to
the Spanish war, and in that regiment
| think there were more men whose
fathers wore the gray than there were
men whose fathers wore the blue. But
they marched in that spirit symbolized

THE CAR DOOMED
Rule of Autocracy in Russia
is lettering.
NICK GIVES WAY TO FEAR
Promises Witte to lnaugurate Reforms
at Once-He is Told That Even
a Republic Cannot Save the
+. Empire from Anarchy.

A st. Petersburg dispatch says !:
AS the result of series of special
ministerial councils under the presl-
dency of Count White, held to adopt
measures to deal with the situation,
the new national assembly of law
and laws granting practical freedom
of the press and of speech and meet
ing, will be promulgated forthwith.
Upon the peremptory demand Of
Prince Hilkoff, the minister of rail-
roads. the ludget covering the remun-
GRAFTON Of railroad employees will be
revised to meet promises made last
spring. Unless this was done the
prince announced that he would re-
sign.
Interesting details have been learn
ed regarding Count Whites interview
with Emperor Nicholas last week, at
which it was agreed that the time had
come TO limit the autocratic power
and give the people a real share in
the government of the empire.
The emperor asked Count Witte to
speak frankly, and after listening to
the stateman's exposure of the stu
alton he appeared to be utterly un-
nerved by the deplorable state of az
OF the struggle and felt like leaving
all and fleeing to Darmstadt, hence
probably the origin of the report that
the emperor was going abroad.
Count White, however, told the en-
Deror that, in his opinion, not even
republic could now save Russia from
anarchy. 1t was the emperor's duty
to the people and the country to face
the situation by meeting their wishes
namely, to abrOgate the autocratic
power and grant a constitution by Gre
sating ministry responsible alike to
the crown and the representatives Of
the nation. The emperor finally &C.
'cepted, requesting Count White to
draft project which in skeleton form
he approved last Sunday, when the
count agreed to accept the premier
ship On condition that he could name
the ministers and that they should
report to his majesty only through
himself as head of the cabinet.
st. Petersburg was in panic
Thursday, but to a large extent ap-
parently without reason. The most
alarming rumors were in circulation,
and the shopkeepers on all except a
few Of the principal streets closed
their stores and boarded up the doors
and windows, while peaceful minded
inhabitants kept within DOORS Anx-
fety was evidenced in the whole at
mOsphere of the city, but so far moth
Ing has occurred to justify these
fears. There were no disorders.
General Trepoff, who has been
placed in command of st. Petersburg
garrison and given an additional di-
vision of achievements, declared he
IFS amply able to maintain order, and
the police are allowing the strikers
to vent enthusiasm SO as to avoid a
conflict. General Trepoff instructed
the police not to interfere with the
,parades so long as they were orderly,
but he gave notice that he was pre-.
pared to cope firmly with any dis
order.
