ARRAiGNs ORDNANCE BUREAU

Washington. Oct 13.-The annual re-
port of Major General Wesley Merritt,
commanding the Department of the
East, is strong arraignment of the
whole situation in the artillery branch
of the service, being particularly di-
rected against the Ordnance Bureau and
incidentally the Quartermaster's De-
partment the latter for failure to furnish
what General Merritt considers proper
quarters at artillery posts.
General Merritt says that the system
on which the artillery is organized is
wrong in that the artilleryman who is
held responsible for the work he has to
do with his guns, has no voice in the
making or selection of them, this being
left entirely to the Ordnance Bureau.
But he adds that since the Engineer De-
partment in the same independent way
furnishes the artilleryman with his em-
placements, and there has been no fault
to find with this portion of the equip
ment. there must be something more
than the mere system to blame for the
unsatisfactory condition of affairs.

ANOTHER KNITTING MILL
FOUNDATION FOR A NEW ONE LAID AT
KERNSVILlE.
E. DC. Pope, Being Converted, Tears the
Stills from his Furnace and Destroys
All the Beer.

Winston, n. c., October 13.-(Special)
-Winston's tobacco association met this
afternoon and appointed committee to
confer with the proper officials of the
Southern Railway relative to the delay
in delivering freight in Winston.
The foundation was laid in Kernsville
for another new knitting mill today. The
style of the firm is Davis Crews u Co.,
and the enterprise will be known as the
Davis Crews Knitting Mill.
During revival in Davie county, e.
d. C. Pope was converted. He was
the owner of a government '1istnlery,
and Immediately after his conversion he
went to his distillery and tore the stills
from the furnace and destroyed what
beer or wash there was in the tubs.
What whiskey was on hand was in the
government warehouse and he had no
right to trouble that without stamping
it. He will have to account to the gov
ernment for the beer as though he had
convered it into whiskey, and this will
cost him about So.
E. J. Davis, of Petersburg, and Miss
Melissa Water, of Roanoke, were mar
ried in the parlor of Hotel Jones last
night. 1t was a runaway match, the
young lady's parents being opposed to
the marriage. The bride is handsome.

A HALF MILLION FIRE.
Many Thousand Bales of Cotton De-
stroyed-EIre Still Burns.

New York, Oct. 13.-Fire today de-
stroyed a large four story warehouse at
the foot of Forty street, Brook
lynn, owned by the Bush Company, limit
ed, and 5000 bales of cotton which We're
stored in it. Loss will be 100000, prin-
cipally on the cotton, which was well i'm
sured.
New York, Oct. 14.-At 1870 this
Saturday morning the fire again broke
out in the buildings of the Bush INDIE
pendent Stores which We're partially de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The
fire apparently started in building No.
= which was separated from No. 3 by a
brick wall two feet in thickness. Build
ing No. was totally destroyed yester-
day and it is thought at this hour (2:oo
Il. NO. that building No. will also prove
a total loss. The fire boats which had
not left the scene We're at once brought
into use and series of fire atSarms call
cd back the engines and companies
which had been employed until late
hour in putting out the flames ON the
first fire. Building No. contained
about 10000 bales of cotton, valued at
from S250,000 to 100000. Three fire
men were overcome by smoke, and the
IRE is not as yet under control. The
officials of the Bush Independent Stores
estimate that the total loss in conse-
quence of the fire in both warehouses
will certainly exceed 100000. Ware
house No. l was destroyed by fire few
months ago.

Dakota Volunteers.

Fargo, N. d.. Oct 13.-Oyer 10000
people greeted President Mckinley and
his party when they arrived here tonight
at 1855. The President had been accord
ed hearty welcome at stations along the
route. He made number of speeches.
Entering carriages, the party was driv-
en- to a reviewing stand through lines
of the First North Dakota volunteers,
who recently returned from the Philip
pines. The President was received with
wild demonstrations. In his address die
referred repeatedly to the situation in
the Philippines. When he declared the
United States Government would send
5000 soldiers to the Philippines to up
hold the American flag where the volun-
teers had placed it, the crowd approved
the declaration with wild applause.
Among other things the President said:
I'VE never dreamed that the little body
of insurgents whom we had just entanci-
pated from Spair--we never for a mo-
ment thought that they would turn upon
the flag that had delivered them from
Spain. But | always thought the boys
were quite ready for it. (Great applause.)
Il
here in the presence of their neighbors
and friends, their fathers and mothers,
that these boys bore all things rather
than disobey the order of the Govern
meiBt they were serving. The leader of
the insurgent forces says to the Ameri-
can Government:
You can have peace if YOU Will give
us independence Peace for independ-
tho.. i,.a
than that for peace once before, but the
United States pays no gold for peace.
lApplause.) We never gave a bride for
peace in all our history and we never
will Great applause.) Our flag is
there where you left it, you boys of the
North Dakota volunteers. You left it
there in the hands of those who took
your places, without blot and without
stain. And wherever that standard is
raised. whether in the Western or the
Eastern hemisphere, it stands for liberty,
civilization and humanity. Our flag
stands for liberty wherever it floats. And
we propose to put 65.000 men behind
that flag in Luzon to maintain the au-
thority OF the United States and the
honor and glory Of the Republic in the
interest of civilization and humanity. We
accept the responsibility of duty at
whatever cost"
Attorney General Grggs, Secretaries
I1ong, Gage, Hitchcock and Wilson and
Senators Hansbrough and McCumber
spoke briefly. The exercises were limited
to speaking and the review of the First
North Dakota volunteers.

sCHLEY THINKS OF THE POOR.
Subscriptions to Home Fund Might EN-
barrass Them at This Season.


Washington, Oct. 13.-Members of the
Woman'S National Industrial League
called upon Admiral Schley tonight and
presented the resolution recently adopt
ed by that body calling for subscriptions
to purchase home for the Admiral.
He expressed his appreciation of the
motives which aetuated the league and
his willingness to leave the matter in
its hands, but suggested that before
undertaking the scheme it might be well
to consider the advisability of beginning
such movement at time when some
embarrassment might occur to a large
and worthy class whose generous mo-
tives would prompt them to contribute.
While touched by the desires of the COM
mittee. the Admiral said he felt that
he ought to ask them to defer the mat
ter until the wants and need of cold
winter now coming on have passed, and
its demands ON the households of some
of the great industrial workers have
been met before any provisions is made
for him.
The work of raising subscriptions win
be started at once. The plan adopted is
to have every contributor give dollar.
