Il am deeply conscious. Mr.. President
of the responsibility laid upon me, and
1 am well aware how hard it will be for
me ito prove worthy of the high mission
with which have been honored. l come
TO America for the first time with warm
admiration for her. but without any per-
sonai knowledge of the great nation over
which you have been called to preside,
and 1 feel my inexperience the more keen
iy because l succeed as British ambassa-
dor here one who had spent consider
able part of his life in this country, one
who had thorough understanding. and
I may add, whose character endeared him
to all who knew him.
II can only say, Mr.. President. that
with Gods help l will do my best 10
carry out the duty entrusted TO me. No
duty could be more in accord with my
wishes. and ii will be a very real happi-
ness when my work here comes TO an
end if l can feel that l have been able
to help. however little. in bringing about
an increase of the good will between our
two nations. 1 believe that upon the
good will depends, in no small degree,
the welfare of The world"
In replying the president said:
Following. as you do, in The steps
of one whose genial sympathy with our
people and whose intimate knowledge OF
this country stood him in good stead by
enabling him to gain the confidence and
esteem of this government and to win
the affection of all with whom he was
brought into association. I cannot doubt
that you, being inspired by the same good
purposes and animated the same KIND
feelings, will achieve no less than did
your lamented predecessor, and with him
the highest regard Of this government
and of my countrymen. 1t is fitting thar
this should be and that, mindful of tht
ties of friendship and speech. moved 10y
like aspirations OF progress in the paths
of peace. and sharing reverential trust
in the Almighty will that guides our
destiny over two nations and peoples
through their niinistering agencies
should strive to reach harmonious ac-
cord in all that affects their common IN
terests.'

Atlanta, Ga, June 4.-General John B.
Gordon, Commander-in-Ch Chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, has issued general
orders calling upon the people to con
tribute flowers for the decoration of the

Ohio, June IL.
General Gordon says:
THE commanding general feels sure, al
though the time is very short. thta there
viii be no lack of flowers at Columbus TO
decorate the graves of our dead at Camp
Chase. TO honor such dead is to honor
the living In this connection the general
commanding finds great pleasure in re-
mlndlng the Southern people of the hither-
to most general course of Colonel Knauss
of the Union Army, and of the broad
minded people of Ohio in decorating the
grave so fthese Confederate independently
and in erecting the monument which
adorns their resting place. Such acts il
lustrate the spirit of fraternity and unity
which is the surest guaranty of the re-
public's future progress and perpetuity"

TRAFFIC IN NORFOLK BARBoB.
Gradually Getting Back to Normal Conditions
---7Om Vessel waeIs Yield.
(By Associated Press

Norfolk, Va, June 3.-The traffic in
Norfolk harbor is gradually getting back
to its normal state. Many of the boats
which were temporarily laid off the first
of the week when the engineers refused
to work longer at the old scale Of wages
have been placed in commission again
In some instances the vessel owners have
acceded to the demands of the engineers
and in others, the operators of the boats
have effected other arrangements. 1t is
believed that in few more days all the
boats will be in use again.
Some OF the vessels of the Norfolk and
Southern Railway are in operation. the
newly adopted wage scale having been
granted the engineers. This company
still has four vessels out of commits
sion, however.
The steamer of the Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Newport News Company has
resumed its run from Sewell's Point to
Newport News. The steamers Nanti-
coke and Allen are running again at the
engineers scale. 1t was stated at the
headquarters of the marine engineers
today that several other vessels Lad been
placed in service again, the owners hav-
ing agreed to the newly adopted wage
scale.
There has developed no change in the
condition of affairs of the Old Domin-
ion Company This company still has five
vessels out of commission. President Gull
laudeu, of that company, has sarrived in
the city from New York and is confer
ring with General Agent Crowell on the
situation here. 1t is not known what ac-
ton the Old Dominion has in contempla-
tion with regard to the engineers in
their employ who refused to continue
work on the former scale of wages.

The BEER QUESTION
Statement by DR.. KiIgOre as
to PreServatives in the
Amber Beverage.

DR.. B. w Kilgore, the State Chemist.
yesterday gave out the following state
ment regarding the investigation being
conducted as to the need of preservatives
in beer:
''on May 18th an article appeared in
one OF the morning papers regarding the
examination of a sample OF beer obtained
IN Raleigh and which was found to be ar
tlficlally preserved. On the same date
samples of all the bottle and draft beers
on this market were obtained, for the
purpose of ascertaining their quality and
the extent to which preservatives had
been added to them. These analyses. as
well as a large number previously made,
show that most, if not all, draft beers
and considerable proportion of bottle
beers are preserved usually with salicyhc
acid In greater or less quantities. None
OF the samples just examined or contained
IN our former reports contained as much
preservative as the one referred to in
the article on May 18th. In fact. this
beer is not now on sale, it being offered
only in the early spring.
While there are some beers on the
market at present which contain no pre-
seHyatives and the amounts in others
vary considerably, the general condition
OF the market in this class of goods is
not very different now from what it has
been IN the past, judging from the anal
yses just completed and those made from
time to time in the past. 1t IS generally
considered that some preservative is nee
essary Tor draft beers to prevent deterio-
ration, especially when they arc shipped
long distances and must be kept for some
time before using. This necessity does
not exist, certainly not to the same ex-
tent, with bottle beers as with draft
beers. If absolutely necessary the pre-
servative should be the lea st harmful
one obtainable and the quantity should be
reduced to a minimum. The Department
of Agriculture has, under the Pure Food
Law, started tests to determine whether
bottle and draft beers, with and withot
pasteurization, can be kept reasonable
length of time in this climate without
preservatives. and if not, the amount of
antiscptic which is needed We believe
that beer in good condition. with a
minimum amount Of antiseptic. is better
than a beer in poor condition with no
antiseptic. We have reasons to believe
that manufacturers will gladly comply
with regulations made as a result of
these or other tests and put their goods
on our market in the best possible condi-
tion.
"The department desires to cooperate
with manufacturers and merchants in this
way.
This statement is made at this time
because of the ENQUIRIES which have come
to the department on the subject"

Farmer and Four Sons Killed
by Cowboys.
A GALLOP AMID BULLETS
The Farmers Pursued by the Cowboys TO Their
HOme---in the Fight There Three Of
The Attacking Party are
(By the Associated Press.)

Superior, Neb, June Eight mer were
killed in a battle between cokboys and
family of farmers named Berry at St
Francis, Kan. The cowboys were en-
rloyed by the Dewar Cattle Company and
there has been bad feeling between them
and the boys for some time.
Land had been taken UP by old man
Berry as a homestead. The fences of the
cattle company interfered with his passage
to and from the roads. Wire cutting on
the part of the Berry family in order
to get the shorest possible road to town
is said to have been the original cause
of the quarrel. The cowboys on The
Dewar ranch had threatened to kill the
family.
The fight resulting in the FIVE deaths
came after a recent trip Of the Berry
family to town The father and four
sons were returning To their homes Eight
miles from their destination they stopped
to cut their way through a wire fence.
The boys came upon them just as they
completed the work. The Berrys mounted
quickly and the cowboys fired. The oldest
Berry. John, was wounded but stayed in
lis saddle. The farmers had the freshest
mounts and soon we're beyond accurate
rife range. The cowboys kept up a scat
tering fusilade of shots.
Arriving home the Berrys did not think
they had been pursued all the way and
they We're in front Of the house when the
party OF cowboys rode up the hin few
yards ia the north The Shooting began
Immediately. Two Of the Berry boys were
killed before they could reach their rifles.
The old man and the other two boys got
inside the house. There were abotN TWEEN.
ty cowboys and they started on the gallon
for the house, intending to fire it and
burn the defenders out. The old man and
the boys attempted to escape from the
other side of the house and were shot
down in succession. Three Of the COW
boys were killed by the farmers while thev
were defending the house.

Granting the Strikers Demands.
fBy the Associated Press. J


Philadelphia, June 3.-This was a good
day for the textile strikers in this city
Eight firms granted the demands Of the
workers and the ranks Of the strikers were
swelled by the workmen in several mills
going out The three most Important
breaks on the side of the employers was
the granting of the fifty-hye hour week
and an increase in pay by Lightenbergcr
& Company, manufacturers of ingram car
pets; Samuel Biswick. yarn manufacturer
and the Frankville Dye Works. The en-
ployes of the carpet and yarn concerns
asked for ffty-fve hour week and q
ten per cent increase in wages, and the
dyers asked for the shorter week and an
increase of wages from S12 to SIS a week
The strikers declare this break portends an
early ending of the strike, because the
have all along declared that
they were unable to grant an increase IN
pay.
Another new branch Of the textile in
dustry brought into the conflict was the
hair cloth mills There are only six of
this class in the city and all the workers
employed in them quit work today be-
cause they we're not given the ffty-fye
hour week.

whatever the pretext, as tending 10 Drlne
back the disastrous days OF Democratic
tariff revision and free trade. Changing
conditions and the possible benefits or re-
ciprocity may call for timely readJust-
ment of schedules, but protection as a
principle and as a policy must be admla-
istered by the friends of American pros
perity and must not be sacrlncea.
Combinations for the monopoly of
trade and kindred unlawful purposes are
directly amenable to penalties provided by
Republican legislation and their vigorous
enforcement in the courts. No worthy
interest is imperilled but whatever will
work public harm is restrained and that
without resort to the Democratic plan of
destroying all American industries through
tariff revision or otherwise. If further
legislation should be found necessary. the
Republican party can be depended upon
to enact and enforce it with equity and
safety in every legitimate interest.

(By the Associated Press

Monastir, European Turkey, Sunday,
May 31.-Horrfble details are arriving
here of the slaughter of the inhabitants
Of the village of smerdash, south Of Lake
Presba, May q, by shi-Bazouks.
1t appears that on the arrival Of the
Bashi-B -Bazouks Chakalarof's band of in
surgents withdrew to the mountains with
out sustaining any loss. As no rebels were
left in the village, the inhabitants exper-
fenced no anxiety until suddenly at sun
set the Turks, who had completely sur
rounded the place, commenced a regular
bombardment, whereupon all the villagers
assembled iii the streets. Though the ar
tillery ceased firing during part of the
night, the Turkish infantry fired all night
lcng.
The artillery bombardment was recon-
menced at daybreak but it was Ineffective.
the Turks set fire to the village on all
sides and commenced a general massacre,
slaughtering women, children and the aged.
About 300 houses were burned and up
wards of two hundred persons. mostly wo-
men and children. were killed The women
and girls were murdered while resisting
outrage.
Whole households were slain. One fam
ily of seven were slain and their bodies
were heaped on the hearth. Not a living
soul was left in the village. The survi-
vors, many of them half burned or other
wise injured, fed.
Some OF the fleeing villagers were cap
tufcd and had their ears and noses cut
off before they were butchered.
The report adds that 1900 villagers
were in the mountains without clothing
or food One band OF these, consisting
of forty women and children were caught
by soldiers in a raTine and we're killed af-
ter horrible treatment.
