National Cemetery.
GLENN AND SIMS ORATORS
North Carolina Governor Looks Foward
to the Day When North and South
Will Join in Memorial Day.
Washington, D. C.—"1 look forward
to the day when those of the north
and those of the south will join alike
In decorating the graves of their com
mon dead."
This was the sentiment voiced by
Governor Robert B. Glenn of North
Carolina to a vast assemblage gath
ered Sunday In the confederate sec
tion of Arlington National cemetery
to commemorate Confederate Memori
al Day. Governor Glenn and Repre
sentative Sims of Tennessee were the
orators.
Aftt paying wann tribute to Gen
eral Robert E. Lee. saying that he
was one of the greatest chieftains that
the world has produced, Governor
Glenn made a significant reference to
General Grant. "Every true southern
man respects Grant for his kindness
at Appomattox.” he said, "and the
southland would not rake up an error
of the past to brand tiis character."
"I can trtuhfully say," continued the
governor, "that i long to see the day
when tiie name of Abraham Lincoln
and Ulysses Grant shall be loved and
respected in every nook and corner
of the old confederacy, and when the
names of Lee and Jackson will be
cheered in Main3, Massachusetts and
California.”
The governor, in justifying the ac
tion of the south in seceding from the
union, said that the southern people
did that for which they had no apolo
gies to make, and what they would do
again under similar cireumstanc’s.
Governor Glenn ipoke of the rapid
strides tae south has made in material
prosperity since the close of the war.
He said the wealth of the south In
18CS was $2,100,000,000 while In 1907
It was'estimated at $17,000,000,000.
Stating that the south lias patiently
mid faithfully borne its part in pay
ing the pensions of the union soldiers
Governor Glenn declared that this na
tion should unite in caring for the eon-
federate dead as well as the union
dead.
Representative Sims, who followed,
declared that the southern people
would never forget their ideals.
The exercises were under the aus
pices of Confederate Veterans’ Associ
ation, Camp No. 171, District of Co
lumbia, the United Sons of Confeder
ate Veterans, the United Daughters of
the Confederacy and the Southern Re-
lief Society of the District of Colum
bia. Music was provided by the thir
teenth United States cavalry band,
atationed at Fort Myer. The invoca
tion and the benediction were deliver
ed respectively by Rev. Dr. Randolph
McKim, chaplain, Camp 171, and Rev.
H. Waddell Pratt, chaplain Washing
ton camp. Among those on the speak
ers’ platform were Mrs. Flt/.hugh Lee
and Robert E. Lee, Jr., grandson of
the confederate general. As hafe b?en
their custom, the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt sent a beautiful floral con
tribution.
DISASTROUS WRECK IN MARYLAND.
Train Carrying Crowd to Naval Acad
emy Commencement.
Eight dead, one dying and eighteen
injured is the list of casualties of the
terrible wreck on the Washington, Bal
timore and Annapolis electric line,
when two cars crashed in a head-on
collision at Camp Parole, two mil’s
above Annapolis.
Among the most seriously injured is
Manager William E. Slaughter of the
company, who lost a little daughter,
and Harry Jacobs.
The regular train from Baltimore,
carrying a large numb ?r of persons
out to Annapolis to attend the hop at
the Naval Academy, dashed into an
extra as the two rounded the curve
above Camp Parole.
Those who witnessed the collision
are of the opinion that the sp?ed was
in excess of 60 mil s an hour and the
two motormen failed to see each other
until within fifty yards.
Tbe woman in ball dress who at
first unidentified was later discovered
to bo Mrs. Green.
The dead are: A. 11. Schultz of Bal
timore, Charles O'Neill, motor-man, <>f
New York; Richard Norton of Armour
&Co., Baltimore; James L. McDaniel,
employee of the company, Baltimore;
Georg? Screiner, watchman, for the
company at Academy Junction; Geo.
W. Green, Jr., architect in construc
tion of Soldiers’ Home; Mrs. George

CYCLONE IN NEBRASKA.
Reports Received from Cyclone Swept
Sections Add Victims.
Omaha, Neb.—Reports received here
place the known dead In the southern
Nebraska tornado at 23, and possibly
25, with three or four points yet to
hear from, and a cor?sponding large
list of injured. With every line of
communication by wire closed to the
stricken points, it has been well nigh
impossible to secure d stalls of the de
struction wrought by the tornado, but
sufficient has been received to show
that it is the worst of its kind which
has ever visited the state.
SlUTH TO BECOME IRON CENTER.
So States Mr. Snyder, a Leading Iron
Matter of Pittsburg.
Baltimore, Md.—The future of the
iron industry of this country is in the
south,” was the statement made by Mr.
W. P. Snyder, a lending iron master
of Pittsburg, Pa. in pointing out rea
sons for his faith in the great future
of Southern iron interests Mr. Snyder
[said that within six years the ship
ments of Lake ores will reach as
much as CO,000,000 tons a year, and,
j in connection with reference to the
rapid depletion of the Lake Superior
supplies under this tremendous drain,
he spoke of the very great develop
ment which Is taking place in the
south based on the Iron-ore and coal
resources of this section. The heavy
sales of Iron hi Birmingham for future
delivery, amounting during the past
two weeks to probably 500,000 tons,
indicates the steady expansion at that
point, and the announcement, made
at th? celebration of the opening of
the Illinois Centrnl's line to that city,
that that road had given a contract
for 40.000 tons of Birmingham rails is
a significant illustration of how rail
road and industrial development In the
South go hand In hand and is sugges
tive of a turning toward revived In
dustrial activity.

TWO BAD CALAMITIES
Deadly Work Done by Gas in
Colorado Mine.
TORNADO SWEEPS OVER IOWA
—
Property Destroyed and Many Head of
Stock Killed-—Charle* City Suf
fered the Mott.
SUverton, Colo.—Six men nre dead,
~ight others in a critical condition and
thirty more are temporarily confined
to their homes by gas poisoning suf
fered In the Gold King mine ut Glad
stone.
Fire destroyed the engine house of
the mine, and also the shaft house.
The two buildings wera near the doors
of tiie main shaft, and to prevent the
spread of the flames and smoke to the
workings of the mine, these doors
were elosed temporarily. Th? men
working the night shift in the mine
were Informed of the conditions on
the surface and instructed to with
draw. When the flames had been j x-
tinguished three men failed to come
out of the mines. Efforts to rescue
them were made. Th? first men to
enter tiie min? returned in haste and
| informed those in waiting that the
mine was filled with gas.
Two rescue parties ware formed,
and the men started Into the mine in
groups of five by means of the elec
tric elevator. The air generated by
i ’.he motion of tiie elevator had cleared
the atmosphere in the elevator’shaft
so that but little discomfort was ex
perienced there. Soon after a score
or more of rescuers had entered the
mine, some of those last in appeared
at the foot of the elevator shaft car
rying the unconscious forms of rescu
ers who had succumbed to the nox
loirs air.
Later n party reached the surface,
| bringing the dead body of Victor Er
ickson and the almost lifeless bodies
of John Sumston and Otto Johnson,
the three men whose absence caused
the necessity for rescu? work. The
others who perished or were injured
were of the rescue parties.

struck Charles City Sunday evening,
demolishing about 200 buildings of va-
i rious sizes and killing W. R. Beck
and a child. Three children are re-
; ported missing.
The path of the storm was about
ten rods wide and ten miles long. Tel
ephone wires are down, and th? de-
| tails as to the destruction wrought In
the country are meager.
The tornado started three miles
southeast of town, tearing down farm
houses and barns, and killing many
head of stock. It struck the south
west part of Charles City, plowing a
I path through to the northeast side,
and spent Itself a few miles from
J town.

ing tornado and sought safety in cy
clone cellars.
Barns were carried several blocks,
trees were torn up by the roots and
in some instances heaved through
buildings. Water was lifted from the
channel of the river, which flows
through town.
CAPTAIN DREYFUS WOUNDED.
Editor Shot French Officer—American
Ambassador Endangered.
Paris, France.—All Paris was once
more divided into two great Dreyfus
factions and the city was in an uproar
as the result of the shooting of Cap
tain Alfred Dreyfus in the midst of
the ceremonies in and around the
Pantheon in connection with the trans
fer of the body of Emile Zola thither
from the Mont Maitre cemetery.
Captain Dreyfus, U3 the man whom
Zola was the first to defend with his
thundering and reiterated ‘‘j accuse,”
was in one of the parties headed by
President Fallieres about the beflow-
ered casket on a catafalque. As the
party moved toward the colonnaded
entries to the Pantheon from the Inte
rior, a man, who subsequently proved
to be M. Gregorl, military editor or
tiie Galois, a violently anti-Dreyfus
newspaper, rushed out from the sur
rounding crowd on the portico, drew
a revolver and, firing two shots at
Captain Dreyfus, wounded him in the
light arm.
Dreyfus was standing immediately
to the side of President Fallieres. At
first is was thought that the shooting
was an attempt to kill the president,
but. tiie vituperative utterance of Gre-
gorit immediately after he fired
showed that he had meant to kill
only Dreyfus, lie was surrounded by
the guards, disarmed and arrested.
The American ambassador, Henry
White, was only a few steps from
President Fallieres when the shooting
occurred.

GEORGIA’S GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.
The Hottest Political Campaign Ever
Waged in thi State.
Atlanta, Ga.—This state is just re
covering from the gubernatorial con
test which took place Thursday, In
which Mr. Joseph M. Brown defeated
Governor Hoke Smith, the Incumbent.
The campaign was the hottest ever
waged in Georgia and for the first
time In the history of the state the
governor was successfully opposed for
his seat at the end of ills first term in
office. The contest was fought on lines
personal and general. Mr. Smith’s
cause was fought through the Atlanta
Journal and he canvassed the state In
wiiirlwlnd fashion, covering every
corner. Mr. Brown had no news
paper organ In particular to champion
his cause, but several in general. The
Augusta Chronicle was a force for him
in middle and south Georgia and while
the Atlanta Constitution and Atlanta
Georgian claimed neutrality they gave
Mr. Brown the right of way. He did
not make a speech during the cam
paign, but remained in his suburban
home in Marietta discussing, through
the press and campaign documents,
his side of the quetslon. Honorable
Thomas Watson, candidate for presi
dent of the Populist party, supported
Mr. Brown.
Ills campaign was managed by Mr.
Janies R. Smith. Governor Smith dis
missed Mr. Brown ns chairman of th
Georgia railroad commission soon af
ter taking his seat as governor last
year. The official returns will give
Mr. Brown a majority of close to
12,000 votes.
POSTAGE REDUCED.
Rate Between U. S. and England To
Be Two Cents an Ounce.
Washington, D. C.—Postmaster-Gen
eral Meyer announced that an agree
ment had been reuched with the Brit
ish government providing for a letter
postage of 2 cents an ounce between
the United States and Great Britain
and Ireland, to become operative Oc
tober 1, 1908. He stated further that
the British postmaster-general, Syd
ney Buxton, was making a like an
nouncement to the house of commons.
The matter of a "penny postage,”
as it is called in England, has been
under consideration for some time and
as far back as last July President
Roosevelt approved Mr. Meyer's
course in urging a "restricted union
with England."
At Berlin, Germany, a high official
of the German postoffice was ques
tioned regarding the possibility of ex
tending this reduction to Germany.
He expressed himself as in favor of
the Idea, but ho pointed out the finan
cial difficulties from which the United
States and Germany would suffer
should such a reduction with Germany
be carried out.
TO ENFORCE CURRENCY LAW.
Preparations Being Made by Treasury
Officials.
Washington, D. C—Treasury' offi
cials are making active preparations
to carry into effect the new currency
law enacted in the closing hours of
congress. Assistant Secretary Col-
lidge authorized the statement that,
the work of printing the new notes
would be begun within ten days. The
new notes will be identical with the
national bank notes now in use, ex
cept that the legend at the top of the
face of the note "secured by bonds
of the United States" will be changed
to “secured by bonds of the United
States and other securities." The
comptroller of tha currency now has
in the vaults about $203,000,000 in
old notes belonging to various nation
al banks, and these will be used as
required until the new notes are
printed and seasoned ready for issue,
it is probable that it will require six
months to change all of the plates
used by the 0,810 national banks, but
it is expected that some of the new
issue will be ready for delivery by-
July 1, next.
