THE WAR TO CONTINUE.

London, May 4.-The chief points of
interest in the situation are: First, that
the decisions of the ministers who have
returned from the Greek frontier
seems to be in favor of a continuance
of the war, and second, that fighting
continued almost necessarily at Veles-
tino from last Tuesday until Sunday,
with the result that Gen. Smolenski has
been prevented from actually assuming
his new duties as chief of staff. AS
a further result the Greeks at Velestino
have managed to retain their positions,
but they are too much fatigued TO fol-
low up their success. Fourteen officers
have been recalled from Crete to be
sent on to Thessaly. and this also is
proof of the intention Of the new cab
met to continue the war. All the best
officers are being sent to the front,
nor is there any intention yet displayed
to eYacuate Crete.

Valestino, May An the battle here,
which lasted II hours, $4,000 Turks
made repeated assaults on the Greek
positions at the railway junction. They
were finally driven from the field. The
chief feature of the engagement was a
brilliant charge of 800 Circassian cav
airy in order to capture a field battery,
which was supported on each flank by
strong bodies of Greek infantry. The
Circassians nearly reached the guns,
but. swept by a fanking musketry fire,
thew were forced to retreat, the battery
shelling the retreating horsemen with
such execution that the wheat fields
were covered with the bodies of men
and beasts.
The Greek troops have entirely re-
covered their morale, and their splen-
did efforts here prove how great an
effect able commanders like Gen. Smol-
enski and Gen. Jannikosta can produce
on disheartened troops. The Greek
LOSSES were chiefly due to the infantry
fire. Very few of the Turkish shells
exploded. The enemy retreated out OF
sight toward Larissa during the night.
An inspection of the battlefield re-
yeals a long line Of wheat fields streWn
with corpses. The Turkish attempt TO
outAank the Greek right proved very
disastrous. owing to the musketry fire
which poured down the slope held by
the infantry and Evzones. The Turkish
cavalry charge on the Greek left seem
ed an act Of sheer madness, for the
horsemen az, .mpted to ascend a long
steep incline in the face of two strong
entertainments of infantry.
Among the dead on the Turkish side
were a German major and two Rus
sian officers.

Martin street from Harrington street
to BlOunt street
Hargett street from Salisbury to
BlOunt street.
Wilmington street from Hargett street
to Martin street
A force of hands is now grading and
broadening the sidewalks on Halifax
street near the agricultural building and
several handsome new residence are
soon to be erected on this street, the con-
tract having already been awarded by
Captain j. b. Martin, of Portsmouth,
Va, for a nice dwelling on his lot be-
tween Capt. Smiths and Mrs. McKim-
mons
All of this work has been accomplish
ed by the committee with very little, if
any, additional expense beyond the a
mount which has heretofore annually
been spent on the streets, viz, about S15,-
600 year. The policy of the present
committee is to spend as little money
rs possible lin the way of temporary re-
pairs and to put as much as possible
IN permanent improvements. The COM
mittee has necessarily had to neglect at
times some parts of the city, but they be-
Heve If this policy is continued all of
our streets will soon be permanently i'm
proved. In the course of few years,
they can gradually get out into every
part of the city and improve all the
streets just as has been done in the case
of Hillsboro and Wilmington streets, and
without any additional burden in the
way of taxes upon the people
The committee was at first somewhat
censured on account of being forced to
cut down some of the trees in the city
which stood in the way of progress, but
they have preserved every tree as far as
it was possible to do so, feeling that it's
beautiful trees is one of the chief glories
of Raleigh. Wherever a tree has been
taken down another has been put out in
its place and there has been planted
within the past two months 323 trees on
The streets.
The committees policy has been to
plant, in regular and systematic man
ner, a row of handsome oaks, either of the
chestnut, water, or white oak variety. on
each side of the city's four principal
broad avenues, viz: Fayetteville, New
bern, Hillsboro and Halifax streets. On
the side streets there has been planted
sugar NAPLES, elms and beech.
1t is believed that this policy of plant
ing trees should be pursued in regular
and systematic manner in the spring and
fall OF each year; and wherever the
streets have been graded and the tree
line established the Street committee
should see that all scrubby and decayed
trees should be removed from the side
walks and replaced by young and vigor-
Gus ones. All trees in the city on the
side walks should be trimmed up and
properly cared for at least once year
If this is done our beautiful shade trees
which are now one of the most attrac-
tive features Of Raleigh Will be indeed
a thing of beauty and joy forever.

A PHARMACY DEPARTMENT
ESTABLISHED At The UNiVER-
SiTY OFNORTH CAROLINA.
Prof. Edward Vernon Howell to Be al
the Head of It. Bright Prospects
for Summer School.

At meeting of the Executive commit
| tee of the University of North Carolina
in the Governors office yesterday, a new
| and very much needed professional de-
partment was added to this famous in
stitution-the department of pharmacy.
The establishment of this course fills
real and pressing need in the life of
the State. For many years the druggists
of North Carolina have been endeavor-
| ing to found such department at the
University, and they will be glad to
hear that it is at last fact Students
of pharmacy heretofore have been COM
PEELED to go north and spend $500 to
81 900 for their training; now it can be
accomplished at infinitely less expense.
saving the money to themselves and the
State.
The course will be two years, leading
to the degree of Phi. G..
The gentleman chosen as professor of
Pharmacy is Mr.. Edward Vernon How
ell.
Mr. Howell is Il graduate of Wake
Forest College, having taken the degree
of A. b. at that institution in 1892. He
then secured a scholarship at Johns
Hopkins, but gave it up to go to Phila-
delphia College of Pharmacy. There he
studied under such distinguished men as
Remington, Sadtler and Maisch, and
graduated in pharmacy in 1894 with the
degree of Phi. @. He is a member of
the North Carolina Pharmaceutical
Association, and chairman of the execu-
tive committee. He has twice won the
associations prize for original work.
He is young man, 26 years old, and is
now located at Rocky Mount.
Associated with Prof. Howell at the
University will be full corps of in
structors in kindred subjects-Drs. Ven
able and Baskerville in chemistry, Prof.
Gore in physics, DR.. Wilson in biology,
and DR.. Mangum in materia medica.
There will be properly equipped labora-
tories in the pharmacy for individual
work.
The fee for tuition will be $75. This
includes everything except books. board
and room rent.
The establishment of this chair is in
line with the progressive spirit of the
University, and the wise policy of the
State to keep her sons at home and
give them training in the vital arts re-
quired by law. There was a demand
for just such a department at the uni
versity, and it can but be successful from
the very beginning.
Provisions were made by the commit.
tee for the proper enlargement Of the
electric plant of the University.
DIR. Alderman tells me further that ali
arrangements have been made for the
Summer school. A number of the most
famous teachers in America have been
secured as instructors in this school, and
all indications point to a large and in
creased attendance.
These many evidences of progress and
growth speak very highly for the man
agment of the University, and must be
most gratifying to all the friends of the
Institution
