"Northwest of Rojitche, on the Stowhod river, in the course of a hot engagenrent with the Germans, our Siberians, commanded by General ise, captured, by a brilliant attack, the village of Svidniks, taking four offers and 800 prisoner.

General Parker has ordered the third battalion of the Third Texas regiment from San Benito to Brownsville, and it is understood to have arrived there tonight.

Other precautionary troop movements were made. His action in not reporting was indicative of the charaeter of orders that the commanding officers on the border have. All are under orders to run down any band of raiders and to follow them across the international boundary line if there appears a reasonable chance of getting in contact with them. One Mexican Killed. The raid on the camp of the small infantry force at San Benito resulted in one Mexican being killed, and the band of raiders is believed not to have been more than thirty.

The engagement today on the Mexican side of the river was, from a military point of view, insignificant, but officers pointed out tonight the necessity of running down the bandits once the chase had been begun and also because they were merely a part, the officers believed, a much larger organization that, unless checked, would perpetrate a series of raids. The tension at General Funston's headquarters was evident tonight. There was no indication that orders would be sent to General Parker to withdraw Major Anderson's force, but rather that by the force would be strengthened. General Ricaut has in the vicinity of Brownsville a large force, but in that region immediately beyond Brownsville, towards the coast, in which the Americans entered, he apparently had stationed no troops. For him to move.

troops into position to attack the Americans where they were tonight, would not, however, be difficult, or require much time, it was pointed out. PROF. BARNES LEAVES SPENCER TO GO TO MT.

They will buy little and machines and hole go about into the mountains dig a as big 88 head, and get out little pieces of mica and punch it into pieces 18 big 88 dollar or a half dollar and sell it, and make a living. "This can all be done without the slightest injury the forest service, and of course would be done under strict regulations by the department.

It would give a good many of these poor people, who are my valued constituents, means of making fl living, and just at this time mica brings fine price. The importation of it from India has almost ceased. "All the other forest reservations have a law that covers the right to lease and mine 011 a much larger scale than this would call for. "The Department of Agriculture first thought, as I understand, that the general law would cover the right to lease in these cases. The Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, says that is so, but their attorney, on investigating it, said that the Weeks law was passed subsequently to the general mining law.

and therefore he did not think the general mining law covered the White Mountains and the Applachian forests. "In addition to mien, I will say to my friend from Illinois, there are that pockets of kaolin, a white. clay, and you find that in pockets too. I hope gentleman will allow this bill to go the through in for that the purpose of who giving have those people country many cases very little other means of livelihood, an opportunity to make a little money out of these mining operations. "One man will take his family out and find a little pocket of mica, and after he pays the government a royalty, he can make a living out of it."

Any publicity you could give 'our' city plan would result in good to Raleigh, we hope, and advertise work which cost the Woman's Club a thousand dollars. "The city plan was presented to Raleigh."

Fayetteville, June very heavy rains of the past 72 hours, accompanied by a strong wind last night, have done considerable damage in this section. Two persons were injured when the wind blew down a tenement house on J.

M. Owen's place in Seventyfirst township, injuring the wife of the negro tenant and wrecked a house occupied by Will Raynor on Dr. J. V. McGongan's farm, Mrs.

Raynor being slightly hurt. Her life was probably saved by the timbers falling across a sewing machine and some other articles of furniture. Residents of a negro section in the northwestern part of this city were driven from their homes by the rising waters of Cross creek, swollen by the opening of the dam at the municipal water plant at Glenville. Oecupants of some of the houses in this section had to be removed in hacks. The damage to the waterworks plant at Glenville, where the city's filtration system is located, is slight.

One hundred and fifty feet of the Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad's track was washed away at Rockfish creek and fifty feet at Buckhead creek, three and a half miles west of this city. Service between Fayetteville and Raeford will probably be restored by Monday afternoon, it was stated at the A. and R. oflices here today. Several dams in the vicinity have been "blown out" by the waters.

About 20 feet of the dam at Mayor McNeill's Merchant Mills on Cross creek was. carried away, the dam at J. H. Culbreth's mill on the same stream was broken, while dams on the places of R. B.

Evans and W. A. Vanstory, in -first township, suffered a like fate. In the country it is said that the crops in the lowlands are completely submerged by water, while even on the uplands water is standing to the top of the rows in the cotton and corn. The amount of damage done to the crops of course cannot be estimated at this time.

At this writing the stage of water in the Cape Fear has not reached above 30 feet but the river is climbing, rapidly and river men are for a big rise in the next 48 hours. When the water from the many, swollen streams begins to pour into the Cape Fear the old river is expected to hump herself and start something. The rising of the waters is being called here the "Joe Brown Freshet," on the type of the famous "Sherman" and "Populist" freshets, in 1865 and 1896. Water and fireproof barrels will be made in Hawaii from bagasse, a sugar mill by-product, for exporting sugar and importing potash. N.

Indieations were tonight that neither Frank H.

FAVORS ABOLITION IN SECRETS IN MEDICINE "To abolish secrecy in medicine," says the State Board of Health, "is one of the things we are coming to. stock and growing plants in several States have already been given that proteetion, but live men and women and I growing children are yet to be considered. The laws of Nebraska, South kota and Oregon, for instance, require that every remedy sold for the treatthe name active ingredient conment of live stock shall have on its label tained in it, and even North Carolina protects her planta," sayts the State Board of Health.

"Years ago she decided that it was unsafe for farmers to use fertilizers, which are medicines and foods for plants, when they didn't know whether were poisoning their plants or helping them. So a law was passed requiring the manufacturer to put the contents of the fertilizer on the sack that the farmer might know whether he was killing or curing. "Both of these are good laws," says the board. "They have protected many pigs, sheep and cows and saved many acres of corn, cotton and wheat. But it is a curious thing that a farmer shall know when he is poisoning his pigs or killing his cotton but shall not know when "he is pouring poison down his baby's throat or down his own throat, as for that matter.

There's not an forced law in the United States today that will give the publie the knowledge of what is in the remedies that are sold for self-medication. What is stranger still, every attempt that has been made to pass or enforce such a law has met with overwhelming opposition. Even a eave man would know that something is wrong with such a state of affairs."

Numerous rumors were current in El Paso today that seeret organizations are being formed in Juarez, where numbers are pledged to take up arnis in the event of American intervention, but these were not confirmed by Mexican officials. Excitement of the last 24 hours in El Paso had abated tonight with the realization that every preparation has been made to protect the city in event the remotest possibility. Street ear service to Juarez has been resumed.

Persons closely in touch with the situation apparently Americans expected no overt act against the from the Mexicans in this vicinity. Even the arrival of 400 additional troops from Villa Ahumuda, miles south to augment the Juarez rison, caused but passing comment.

COMPETITION TO CUSTOMS OFFICE Transfer of Burden of Supporting Government To Those Most Able To Bear It News and Observer Bureau, 403 District National Bank Building, Washington, June 17. (Special Leased Wire.) The other day while in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue it came to my mind that I wanted some atntistica on the probable receipts of the Winston-Salem port of entry. I asked Colonel Osborn's confidential clerk. Mr. Neiss, where would be the proper place to seenre the desired information.

He replied: "Oh! That will come under our competitor, the Customs Division." The word competitor used there is wignifennt. It means simply that customs in the competitor of the multitude of people who have been paying the bill for running this conntry under the Republican protective tariff. Internal revenue, during Inst two years, under the power given by the income tax lAws has become formidable competitor of the customs, or in other words, the pion of the common people, as the figares of collections will show. Three years ago eustoms receipts fan about four hundred millions: internal revenne about two hundred and fifty millions. Last year customs amounted to only two hundred and sixty millions and internal revenue to over four Hundred millions.

This year eustoms will do a little better, they expect to collect nenrly three hundred millions. Internal revenue will collect five hundred and thirty millions.
