TO CONFEDERATE WOMEN.
Memorial Was Unveiled at Raleigh, N. C.
To-day.

Raleigh, N. c., June l0.-A monument
to the North Carolina Women of the
Confederacy was unveiled here to-day.
IT is the second tribute of the south to
its women of the Confederaey, a similar
monument having been erected by the
state of South Carolina Members of
the North Carolina division of United
Confederate veterans and scores of prom
inent men and women from this and
other states witnessed the ceremonies.
The memorial was made possible
through the gift from the late Ashley
Horne, who served as a Confederate sol
dier throughout the war between the
states. As a member of the state leg
islature from Johnston county, he in
troduced a measure providing for the
erection of statue by the state. Fail
ing to elicit the necessary support, he
gave $4,000, and accepted plans for the
monument before his death in October,
1912. The monument stands on the
south side of capitol square midway be-
tween Fayetteville and Salisbury streets.
On the southern side, in bas relief, is a
grandmother in a sitting position, with
book in her lap. The woman is relating
the story of the Civil war TO her grand
son, who grasps the hilt of his fathers
sword.
On the eastern side is bas relief rep
resenting the Confederate soldier going
to war His return to an emsnciated CON
dition and ragged, but welcomed by the
women of the Confederacy, is depicted
on the western side. The monument is
inscribed TO the North Carolina Women
of the Confederacy."

STABBED IN LUNG.
William Francis Is in Serious Condition.
Assailant Fled.

| Burlington, June William Fran
els, a resident of Malletts Bay, lies in a
serious condition as the result of deep
knife thrust in the ribs which probably
penetrated his lung. His assailant, OF
whom there seems to be a good csscrip-
ton, all the details being known but his
name, is still at large, having fled from
the scene when he stabbed Francis Mon
day night. The case is in the hands of
the authorities, who are now making an
investigation. The physician who ex-
amined Francis says he is at present un-
able TO tell whether or not the man will
pull through.
Although the stabbing took place
about five o'clock Monday night, the af-
fair did not become generally known un-
til yesterday. just how it occurred is
not known except that Francis and
another man, who is described as a
Hebrew, living in Burlington, had quar-
rel in front of Albert Potvin's residence
on the Malletts bay road, which was ter
minated by the unknown thrusting a
knife into Francis. The two ha,s been
in Burlington and it seems they had
quarreled while here and the same was
renewed when they met again at the
point described. Those who were nearby
say that the assailant Immediately drove
away Francis, covered with blood and
considerably the worse for the wound,
was cared for by people nearby and was
taken to his home. DIR. G. L. Latour
was summoned and attended the man.
He found that a wound had been made
in the seventh rib on the left side, the cut
being a clean one and evidently made
with sharp instrument. The cash was
about an inch and half long and about
quarters OF an inch deep 1t il
probable that the knife point reached
the lung. Francis suffered consider
able internal hemorrhage, which was
finally checked. TIe was in much pain
and yesterday he was suffering still
more. He was too i'll to talk much about
the affair himself
Francis is q grocer doing business at
Nalletts bay and was OF the delivery
wagon with young man when he be-
came engaged in the quarrel which led
hp to the stabbing. He is man about
10 years OF age and has a family His
lssailant is described as Hebrew who
buys and sells cattle and he drives
bay horse attached to a wagon which !
has yellow gear and red box.

AT LoGGERHEADs IN CONFERENCE.
United States Will Not Allow Huerta to
Name Foreign Minister.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June l0.-The
United States is unwilling to extend
recognition to a new provisional presi-
dent if named according to the method
prescribed by the Mexican delegates,
which is that Gen. Huerta would ap-
point as minister of foreign affairs the
man who is agreed upon here to head
the new government.
The Washington administration con-
tends that if Gen. Huerta is permitted
to name the foreign minister who, by
constitutional succession, would be ele-
waited to the presidency, even though the
selection be made here, such an act
would be construed as recognition of the
Huerta government.
On this issue the mediating plenipo-
tentiaries came to fiat disagreement
late yesterday at a conference held for
consideration of the exact method by
which the new provisional government
in Mexico would be created out of the
present regime.
For more than two hours the media
tors and American delegates argued in
vain and it was apparent when the con-
ferences ended that what hitherto had
been considered matter of detail had
suddenly developed a snag. The Mex
ican delegates had not discussed the
point at any length with the mediators
when the latter took it up with the
Americans.
United States Flatly Refuses.
Niagara Falls, June l0.-A dangerous
obstruction to progress on vital point
in the mediation proceedings has arisen
which again threatens failure for the
negotiations. The United States has
said to the mediators in unequivocal
terms that it cannot consent to any
method of transition from the existing
regime to the proposed new provisional
government that can be construed as
recognition of the Huerta administra-
fion

1T is not congress in the true sense
of the word, however" Brigadier Perry,
the organizer of the Army's work in this

have no debates or discussions.
This is the first congress we have had
since 1904, and it will give many of our
leaders an opportunity of meeting Gen
eral Booth for the first time. Over 1000
delegates from overseas will meet 5000
from various parts of Great Britain.
Forty-five different nationalities and
colonies will be represented and "a diff
ferent languages spoken. The $50 dele
gates from the United States will in
clude both white people and negroes,
while one contingent of reformed drunk
ards will bear proudly on their banner
their own selected title of the United
Order of Reformed Boozers.'
"The South African contingent will
include Zulu warrior, witch doctor. a
'rickshaw boy and red -banlket Katfir

all European countries, will be
Some of the crew of the
lifeboat Catherine Booth, which patrols
the Norwegian coast and has been in

and 2,226 men, will attend. There will
be Newfoundland fishery contingent,
with white seals embroidered on their
blue jerseys; some of the workers in the
leper settlemnts on Java and Sumatra,
among whom will be DIR. Willie, former
Copenhagen physician, who gave up a
lucrative practice to take up his work
and a contingent from the so-called
'riminal tribes of India, with whom
thieving is not only almost part of
heir religion, but practically their only
means of livelihood.
Among the other delegates viii be
swdss yodelers, an Italian band, Span
ards, Cingalese and Koreans. One dele
yate has led nomad life among the
4appa. They viii all attend in their
native costume, and will thus take part |

INTERSTATE TRADE COMMISSION.
Favored by Business Men Throughout
the Country.

Washington, D. c., June 10-An
analysis on the referendum vote recent
" taken by the chamber of commerce
of the United States, on the question of
a proposed interstate trade commission,
shows that business men generally favor
the measure. The chamber sent to every
member of the House and Senate to-day
letter containing the results of the
vote. A scrutiny shows, however. that
there is wide divergence of opinion
between organizations in different local
titles. The eastern states voted 81
against to rs in favor, and the central
states 179 for and u against.

A FAMOUS REPLY
The Cynical Comment Made by SNo
den's Greatest Chancellor.


The career Of Axel OxenstternA n
a proud chapter In the history Of Swe-
den. In 1911 Oxenstjerna became the
chancellor OF the Swedish empire unr
der Gustavus Adoiphus. and much Of
the glory that befell the reign OF that
remarkable monarch was due to "the
mastery diplomatic ability, great cn1P-
age, and moderation Oh hts
prime minister.
For In the days of Oxenstjerna Swe-
den was n OF the powers Of Eu-
rope, and the Swedish dominion FOR a
time extended yer Prussian territory.
During the entire period Of the Thirty
Years war in Europe, Sweden, through
the fundamentally Of her mighty
man In peace maintained an enyiable
place In the council Of nations.
And when in 1913 negotiations for a
general continental agreement began
at Osnabruck the Swedish chancellor
appointed his own son. Johan, az the
Swedish representative. The son ex-
pressed his distrust of his ability to
properly serve his country In % ~
sponsible q capacity. To this natural
difadence Of youth the father made his
famous reply:
'Dost thou not know, my son. with
how little wisdom the world 10 gov.
