LOSS AT LEAST $50,000 “We Are Not Giving Up, We Are Ready to Fill Orders,” THE INSURANCE WAJ LESS THAN $20,000 Telephone and Telegraph Communication Shut Off- Both Tracks Burned Out. No Trains Could Pass Until Late Last Night. (Staff Correspondence-) Cary, N. C., Juno I.—The entire plant of the Cary J..umber Crnpany was totally destroyed by fire early this afternoon. The most conservative .estimate of the loss sustained places it at $".0,000. The insurance amounted to less than $20,000. It was the biggest and most destruct ive fire that has occurred in this sec tion lor years, perhaps in all its history. One million feet of lu:nb< r, covering about two acres of ground were destroy ed .together with all the buildings and machinery of the plant. Nothing was saved except one office building and one fie* car load of undressed lumber- That almost the whole of Cary was not wiped out is a miracle, as there are rows ol dwellings just across the road from lumber plant. The fact that the wind was not very brisk was the only thing that saved a largo part of the town. As it was, not a single building outside of the plant itself was burned. There were no means whatever of fighting the fire, are no water works at Cary. The lumber Company hart a large tank into which water was forced front a small creek nearby. Hut this tank, mart* of wood, caught fire itself very early and all the water was lost through holt s burred in its sides. Although Cary is fully eieht miles from ltaleigh, so great was the confla gration that the smoke was easily seen from the streets here by 1 o’clock, a half hoar after the first blaze was noticed by those at the plant- Telephone cabs for <'ary failed to get connection, and cen tral reported that the wires were down. This caused the most intense uneasiness, as it-was feared that the whole town was being consumed by the -lames. It was the same when Gm i Im-raph was tried. All the wires woi ' down- Method was the nearest point that could be reached. It was reported, too, that th*' Seaboard Air I-ine fast train, north bound, ex pected here at ut noon, could not pass Cary on account of the she. Then the daleigh people v. ho had fam ilies or relatives in Cary started for the scene of the lire with many lmsgivings, and they \ :t as fast horses or bicy cles com wry them. The scene as one reached * arv was a terrible one. The smoke v is dense and blinding, and the heat was parching, terrific. Croat piles of lumber that had coutainad hundreds of thousands of feet each, were blazing like' l ucre bonfires, and some were reduced to a heap of hot white ashes. Through eh-- smoke and flames could be seen in distinctly a great mass of twisted anel 1 token iron and steel. This was all that remained of the machinery used in fie saw mills, four engines and three boilers. There was the water tank, blazing and smoking and dripping water, a strange sight, with its tall wooden supports charred and smoking, threaten ing every minute io fall upon the office building, the only building saved from the entire plant. At first it was thought this office build ing must go with the rest, as at one time the wind, which had been about North west, shifted, and it seemed as if it was all up with this small frame- house; but the wind chanced back to its original quarter, and it was saved. All the fur niture and office belongings, papers, etc., were removed hurriedly and strew e-d on the ground nearby. It was thought many important papers were lest. The telegraph and telephone poles for a distance* of nearly a quarter of a tni'e along the railroad track vote turned down and the wires -vere lying on the ground The Postal Telegraph Company lest eight poles, and ‘he Western Union a! out the same number. The railroad ties were burned our for nearly a ejuar tcr of a mile on both the Seaboard Air Line and Southern tracks. There stood the trains, effectually blocked, and transferring their passengf rs around the fire to enable them to get inta Raleigh. Wrecking trains from Hamlet and Greensboro were being hurried to the spot, and it is said that great efforts would he made* to get the tracks into passable condition by tonight. There were the' wheels and charred re main.' of five freight cars that hael been standing at the yards waiting to be un leaded- There were seven ears there, l«ui two were saved- one loaded with lumber and one empty. A Seaboard Air Li tic engine went out from Raleigh and brought in the one load rescued. Air. .1 <\ Angier, Secretary and Treas urer of the company, happened to be in fl’nrv today, having run Town from Durham. When asked how the fire The News and Observer. started, he said: “I hael just arrived here from Durham- about an hour before the fire broke out, at 32;30- I was in the office at the time, and heard, some one cry out and then heard them a sec ond time. Thinking some one was hurt, I ran out to the boiler house, where the call seemed to come from. I met the fire man running out. He seemed very much excited, anel tried to get the hose to at tach it to the pump so as to gel water from the tank. He said he could not get to it. I went to the -'ars on the side-track, where seven were standing, and managed to get two of them off. One was a fiat car belonging to the C. F. and N., loaded with undressed lum ber. The other was an empty box ear belonging to the Southern Railway. The cars destroyed belonged to the C. F. and N-, G. C. and N-. S- A. L., R. and G. and C. and O. One was loaded with dressed lumber billed, and the rest were being unloaded, having brought in lum ber to be dried and dressed, j “It would be hard to say exactly what ; the loss is, but 1 think it may he placed on a very conservative estimate at J50,- 000. The insurance was small, being less than $20,000. “Thorp goes eight years’ of energy," centinued Mr. Angier, "and the hardest kind of work wiped out in a few hours. We have put our best work anel vim in to the development of this plant, and it is hard to see it go like that, it’s burnt up a lot of energy, but v.e are still here, ready to fill all orders. We are ted giving un; we’ve got sand left in our craw yet.” Turning to Mr. Wilkinson, the book keeper. Mr. Angier said: “Wire imme diately to the American Wood-working Machine Company to send someone here at. once to take our order ” The principal stockholders of th" com pany are J. B. and B.

SANFORD L- ROTTFR. RESOLUTIONS UNJUBT TO PRITCBARD AND BELLAMY So Declares Mr Burton of the Bivers and Har bors Committee of the Resolutions Adopted m Fayetteville. (Special to News and Observer.) Washington, D. C. June s.—Mr. Bur ton. chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, was shown .the resolutions adopted in Fayetteville on fno ticn of’ Mr. Hale last Wednesday, and asked to express an opinion about them. He said, "in more than a score of in stances I have been asked to write a let ter. or give out an interview relating to the amount of interest shown by mem bers and others in some river and harbor improvement, and I have been asked to express an opinion as to who is entitled to credit for whatever legislation was obtained. Also in every instance I have refused to write a letter, or give an in terview, but these resolutions are so grossly unjust to Senator Pritchard and Mr. Bellamy that it Is only right for me to speak. These are the two per sons. ih» one in the Senate, the other in the House, who were constant and un tiling in advocating the improvement of the upuer Cape Fear river, and to them especially credit is due. It would seem evident that these resolutions were pre pared by interested parties with a view to advance the interest of some outside person, or to exploit the action of others than the two gentlemen here named. Whether the object, was to detract from the credit due Senator Pritchard and Mr. Bellamy or not. the citizens of Fay etteville are probably not to be blamed for this attempt to belittle these two gentlemen.” It is true that Mr. Bellamy labored in season and out for this appropria tion. He deserves the thanks of the people of the upper Cape Fear country for his good work. It is also true that this appropriation would have failed but for the determined fight of Senatorv Ber ry in the conference committee anrl Sen ator Simmons’ Influence was most power ful with the Arkansas Senator. At the 'ns vance of Representative Thomas, who has returned from home, the War Department today cabled a sick furlough to General Chaffee for Sergeant Wentworth Pierce, son of Thomas B.

White for the visitors was taken out of the box in the fourth inning, but Leonard fared no better as the locals had their batting clothes on in this inning. The features of the game were the heavy hitting of both teams, the fielding of Kain and Softie for the visitors and Devlin and Templin for the locals. Randolph of the New Bern team had to retire from the game in the first in ning. Templin going to third while Wind went to center field. Both teams were not in the best of condition owing to their ride on the cars this morning. Five clean hits in the second inning tell how Raleigh made the first two runs.

A GOVERNMENTAL SHIPPING AGENtY Chaimette Was Used For the Shipment cf But One Class of Military Supples, Says tie Report by Colonel Crtwder. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, June 5. —The President . today sent to the House the report of : Colonel Crowder, who made the investi gation of the charges of Governor Heard, of Louisiana, that the neutrality lays , were being violated at Chaimette, La. I The message of transmittal is purely formal. It encloses a copy >f a letter written by the President's direction to Governor Heard, dated June 3rd. which j sums up the main facts as found by C.'ol ■ onel Crowder and also gives the rules on international usage respecting the sale of goods to parties at war. Mr. Hay says he found the point ir. the charges submitted by Mr. Pearson and by the Brer legislative committee of Philadel phia was that the British authorities had enlisted men in this country for ser vice in South Africa. The government j made particular efforts to find out if j there was any basis for this charge, but | Mr. Hay says that Colonel Crowder’s | report shows .that not a single instance j could be discovered by him- Mr. Hay j says that this charge must be considered I no! only as improved, but as having been mode without the slight pretence of justification of proof, Continuing he says: i “What has been found is that certain 'officers of the British army acting in the capacity of purchasing agents and in spectors have been engaged in the work lot buying, collecting and inspecting horses and mules at different places in the United, States and shipping them i from Chaimette to South Africa. There have been thirteen of thes'> officers. Thh British Government sometime since or dered teh recall of all of them. The men employed under them lia\o all been Americans. The shipment of mules and horses have been continuous month af ter month since the outbreak of the war. : The vessels in which they w ere shipped were of private ownership and not under the control of the British Government and have not the character of military* or naval transports. Chaimette vas not | a military camp or post, nor a base of military supplies as the terms are de fined by standard military authorities; nor in any sense save such os would make a flouring mill or a packing house a br.se of military supplies if flour or canned meat were shipped from either through a series of months to any bil legont power. Chaimette was simply a ! shipping station for the loading and j shipping of mules. Fhsically the station i consisted of half of a set of buildings j which did not differ from the other half | of the same set which was not hired by ; tho British authorities, the buildings of | this unhired half being continued in their i former use.” Mr. Hay next addresses himself to the | law in the matter anel says our duty has j been laid down again and again. He ; quotes from the declaration of Thomas I Jefferson when Secretary of State, at I the time of the hostilities between Eng j land France: ! “Our citizens have always been free to make, vend and export arms. To sup -1 press their callings because a war exists in foreign and distant coun Irina in which we have no concern hardly would be ex pected.” Similar declarations by Alexander Hamilton, President Pierce, Chief Jus tice Chase and President Grant are cited. "As for the treaty of Washington," Mr. Bay says, “those who allege that it has any bearing upon the present situation have not taken the trouble to read the published dispatches of Secretary Fish on behalf of President Grant to Minis ter Schcnck at London at the time of the ratification of the treaty." The dispatch of June 10th. 1871, states that the “President understands and in sists that the second rule of Article VI dors not prevent the open sale of arms or other military supplies, etc.” In conclusion Mr. May says: "The President regards i» ns evident, in view of the quotations given above * hat wha* was asked for by Mr. Pear son .vms the reversal of tfco consistent policy of .the United State? since the formation of our government. The right of our it;z ns to sell horses and mules and to shin them from New Orleans to any other port is as undoubted as their right to ship flour and meal, whether for the use of civilians or soldiers of (he country of cither belligerent. There is no shadow of excuse for the claim that there has been any violation of the duties and obligations of neutrality on the part of this nation." (’olonei Growd-T's report is an elabo rate presentation of the conditions exist- ing at Chaimette. He sums up his find ings of fact under six heads, which are substantially as follows: "1. The British re-mount commission, officers of which are operating and di recting purchases of shipments of sup plies in the United States, is a Bureau of the English Army Administration. “2. As organized by these officers Chai mette station is a governmental shipping agency for but one class ot military sup plies and it has not the character of a base of military supplies nor that cf a military camp or post. “3. No attempts to recruit to the Brit ish army have been made at‘Chaimette station nor does the evidence disclose any such attempts at other points in the United States. A few muleteers were re cruited but this was against the orders of the British Government. “4. All shipments have been from the port of New Orleans to South African ports, upon vessels chartered by the British admirality, under ordinary com mercial charters. “5. The transactions of the commission aggregate $17,939,350 from October, 1899, to March, 1902, with an average monthly value of $597,978. The total shipments are given at 98,687 horses and 75,108 mules, 65 different vessels being engaged in the trade, making 166 voyages. “6. All supplies have been for the use of the English army in South Africa, the trade having no existence prior to the war.” Colonel Crowder adds that the port of New Orleans was extensively used in 1896-’97 to supply the Spanish army, then engaged in prosecuting hostilities in Cuba.

London, June 5. —In accordance with King Edward's message to the House of Commons, yesterday, the Government leader, A. J. Balfour, in the House this afternoon asked for a vote of 50,000 pounds sterling to Lord Kitchener. The Liberal leader, Sdr Henry Camp bell-Bannerman, who seconded the mo tion, paid a warm tribute to Lord Kitch ener as a soldier and statesman. John Dillon, Irish Nationalist, led the opposition in behalf of the Nationalists, Mr. Dillon he and his friends abso lutely objected to the vote because they were opposed to the policy of the war in South Africa and the conduct of the eam -1 aign. which involved wholesale devasta tion of the country, the burning of farms an I sacrifice of life. Henry Laboucnere also opposed the vote. William Redmond, Irish Nationalist, caused a scene of great disorder by re marking that Lord Kitchener would go down to history as a general who had ‘‘made var on women and children." This remark called forth loud cries of “With draw.” and appeals to the chairman to call Mr. Relmond to order. The (hair man said the expression used was not disorderly but a majority of th« House refused to listen any further to Mr. R<>l - and interrupted him with all kinds ol shouts. After a quarter of an hour spent by Mr. Redmond in fruitless endeavor to gain a hearing. Ut closure was niov«»d. The closure was adopted by 278 to 15- votes and the grant of 50,000 pounds ster ling to Lori Kitchener was carried by 880 to 44 votes. The minority consisted of Irish Nationalists and two or thro" Radical.*.
