much salary he received.
Zone hundred and fifty dollars a week"
he answered.
The familiar was at once
forthcoming:
1T is too much. 1t is altogether too
much. You are not worth more than
$25 a week"
Some time afterward. while talking
with other newspaper men. the minister
learned that the reporter had deceived
him and that instead Of receiving $3.50 a
week be was paid not more than SEQ.
Accordingly the mex time be called at the
Chinese legation in search of information
Mr.. WI thus sharply dismissed him:
You lied to me about your salary. Ii
you will lie about such a thing as that.
you will lie about anything. l do Tot

HEROES OF FORT FISHER
PROPOSED REUNION OF CONFEDERATE
AND FEDERAL SURVIVORS.
Movement to Have an AFFAIR Lasting
Several Days at the Fort Late this
Summer or Early In the FalI-CoI,
Lamb and Gen. Curtis will be Here.

The Rev. ]. a. Smith, OF Fair Bluff.
and the Hon. T. T. Fullmore, Of Aus
tin, Texas, who were among the he
roic defenders of Fort Fisher and were
with the handful of confederates who
were killed or captured while defend
ing h gate on the riverside. in the
famous three days battle which began
January Is. 1865. are heading a move
ment to have a reunion of the heroes
Of h a battle late in the summer or
early in the fall.
There were heroes on both sides and
the confederates hope to have with
them as many of the federal survivors
as can get here. It is quite certain
that Colonel William Lamb, the con-
federate commandant of the fort. and
General Curtis. of New York, who led
the furious assault by land, finally
overwhelming the gallant defenders.
will attend the reunion.
Mr.. Smith was here yesterday and he
tells us That the intention is to make
the reunion a big thing, lasting several
days.
Judge Fullmore. of Texas. is a native
of Robson county, North Carolina, but
after the war he went to Texas where
he has distinguished himself at the bar
and on the bench.
The proposed reunion will be an ex-
traOrdinary event and The Messenger
hopes it a be carried out on the scale
contemplated by those interested in
getting it up.

Secretary Gage not Posted

London, June PA dispatch to a
news agency from st. Petersburg, dated
today, purports to quote M. DeWitte,
the Russian finance minister, as saying
that the statement issued by Secretary
Gage, in explanation of the United
States treasury departments action in
imposing countervailing duties on GER
tain Russian products, shows the ques-
ton is not fully understood by Mr..
Gage.
NJ. DeWitte says he cannot imagine
that Mr.. Gage would i%ntionally mislead
the people of the United States and,
therefore. he can only conclude that Mr..
Gage is not possessed of all the facts in
the case.
st. Petersburg, June 24.-On compe-
tent authority the correspondent of The
Associated Press is able to say that the
Russian minister of finance regards
Secretary Cages explanation of the pc
troleum question to be beside the point.
Russia has adopted reprisals in the
form of increased duties on American
goods for the second time, not be-
cause a certain shipment of petroleum
was taxed at an unduly high rate be-
cause t was not accompanied with a
certificate as to it's origin, but because
Russia does not admit the correctness
of Secretary Cages Interpretation of
the tariff laws Of the United States.
Section 626 of these laws places naptha
and the products of naptha on the free
list unless the country whence they
are exported charges duty on similar
articles from the United States. Rus
STA does not admit these laws authorize
the collection of a tariff on paraff1ne
made in Great Britain from Russian
naptha, as decreed by Secretary Gage
in his circular of March.
The impression has been conveyed to
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press that the hope of Secretary Gage
that Secretary of State Hay will sue
coed in explaining these matters to the
satisfaction of NJ. de White, will be
vain. If further action against Rus
sian trade is taken by the United
States, Russia's answer will follow in
due season.
In speaking of these matters the in
formant of the correspondent of the
Associated Press said:
THE entire rae of the United States
with Russia can be lost while awaiting
the decision of the court, and unless
the matter is fastened. l understand
the case comes before the lower court
next November. The Americans are
apparently not in a hurry to resume
business which is now falling into the
hands of the Germans"

Mr.. Mercer put s127 in a small can
