pected that this combination will largely
take the place of solid copper in the trans

President Roosevelt yesterday ap.
pointed w. 7. Hopkins postmaster
for Newport News, sending the nomi-
nation TO the Senate about noon
with number of others. The term
of Postmaster Fred Reed, who has
held the Office for over eight years,
expired on February and his sue.
cessor will take charge of the Office
as soon as the appointment Is con
firmed.
This appointment settles contest
in which all Newport News was inter.
ested and which attracted no little
attention in State political circles.
Mr.. Read was endorsed by a large
majority Of the business men of The
city and his record was without a
flaw. but this was overbalanced by
Mr.. Hopkins standing with the row
ers that be politically. Mr.. Hopkins
had the endorsement of Colonel
Slemp and in addition to this was
able TO advance claim upon the
party on account of the fine show
ing he made in his race for the
Legislature against MIR. Barrett last
year
The news of the appointment Gre
ated little surprise here, for it. had
been generally believed for several
weeks that Mr.. Hopkins would be the
successful candidate The Read
forces kept M the fight to the last,
however, and even yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Read seemed to be conf
dent that he would hold his position
for another term.
Mr. Hopkins has for years been q
foreman at the shlpyard and has
lived with his family at 122 Twenty
eighth street since the early days of
Newport News. He has been an ac.
tive Republican, belonging to what
Is known as the Slemp faction. He
has been mentioned as candidate
for postmaster and collector of Gus
J toms. He was u strong candidate for
the latter office at the time Captain
Stuart was named. Last year he
was nominated by his party for the
House of Delegates in opposition II

Reed the assistant postmaster, was
appointed by the postmaster and II

takes charge.

bic STEAMERS
He ne F OR
COTTON
August Belmont, Aristea
and Capreva to Take
Big Cargoes.

Three big steamers reached port
yesterday and the day previous con-
signed to the Gulf Transit Company
and will take out cargoes of cotton
and phosphate rock to Bremen, Ham
burg and other foreign ports. The ves-
sells entering were the August Bel.
mont, one of the regular liners be-
tween Pensacola and Bremen, the Aus,
trian steamer Aristea and the Italian
steamer Capreva.
All of the steamers are of large
carrying capacity, none being under
200 net tons, and they will carry out
an immense amount of export freight.
The principal item to compose the
cargOes of these vessels will be cot
ton, especially the cargo of the Bel
mont, which will be made up almost
exclusively of this staple. This YES
sci some months since carried out
the record breaking cargo of cotton
for the season, and it is expected that
she will again take out large
amount. The warehouses of the L. &
n. are now well filed with cotton, but
on account of the car shortage now
prevailing there is some delay in get.
ting the phosphate rock, and for this
reason one vessel. the Cycle has been
idle for several days.
1t is expected that the rush of OK
port cotton through Pensacola within
the next two or three weeks will al.
most equal that of some time since.

An interesting meeting of the direcs
tors of the Pensacola Carnival Assoc
citation was held last night in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
there being good attendance of di-
rectors, and many matters pertaining
to the coming big show received at
tention.
The principal matter discussed was
the financial condition OF the associa-
ton, but the committee reported that
1856 shares of stock had been guaran-
teed by the citizens of Pensacola.
which gives the association good
start upon the work, and it Is antici-
pated that many other shares will BE-
subscribed for within the next two or
three weeks. thus largely swelling the
amount received from this source.
II is the desire to make the MarJh
Gras festival OF 1907, and especially
the mystic parade. the grandest and
most complete yet given in Pensacola.
and plans have been mapped out
along these lines. Instead of twelve
large floats that formed the mystic
parade last year. there will this year
be fifteen, and they will be equal IL
not greatly superior to any seen in the
city on former occasions.
The work of building these floats
has been in progress for some weeks.
and already eleven have been conf
pleted. while the artists and workmen
employed by the association are busy
upon others with every assurance OF
having them completed some time be-
fore the Carnival, which is now about
five weeks distant, and thus prevent
any rush OF work towards the close.
The prospects are that the big cele-
bration will be one of the grandest
ever given here. and 1t is expected
that many visitors will come to the
city. for all of the railroads in the
Northeastern Tariff Association have
made rate of one and third fare
for the round trip, and this will be
well advertised by the railroads, and
in addition the association will also
do considerable advertising.
