The harbor of Re veal presented an imposing naval spec tacle today at the meeting of Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, and Emperor Wil liam, of Germany. The German Em peror arrived on the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, which was escorted by several German warships, and found awaiting him a large contingent of Russia's fighting fleet drawn up in - two lines. As . the German ships : swung into place a series of salutes - was fired and the strains of the Ger man national hymn were heard on the quarter deck of the imperial yacht : Standart and the Russian warships. The Emperor immediately sent Ad- miral von Tirpitz, minister of marine. .to welcome Emperor William, and af- Uer a short interval the German em iperor, accompanied by his suite, on a (gorgeous state barge, proceeded to the Standart to greet the Russian ruler, .Emperor Nicholas met his fellow sovereign at the gangway and greeted Mm with great cordiality. An inter change of visits lasted throughout the greater part of the day and evening, and they furnished occasion for long m formal conversations between the two ' idlers- Participating in the con fereite8 were Prime Minister Stoly pin a M- Izolsky, the Russian min ister c foreign affairs, and Prince von But fr. the German imperial chancellor WALL STRJST RECEIVES goi TOffflR JPWPres' o New York, 5Je 17-Wall street and the stock e iha.uge has Governor Hughes' "O K" tiG&W- The commit tee appointed by' governor last December to investigate and report on conditions in the .financial district gives it a clean bill: ct health.

Dail, at Argus GOOD BO ADS MOVEMENT. Congress Will Assuredly Establish a Good Roads Commission. The good, roads movement, Inaugu rate! th-vgr&iU lac states ct cr At lantic seaboard, has resulted in bring ing the matter to the attention of Congress, and the indications are that at the next regular session something will be done to secure the co-operation of the national government in the building, of good roads. Congressman James a Hughes, of West Virginia, will press his bill to create a good roads commission in the government. This commission will devote its at tention to the extension and develop ment of good roads as military and postroads and for the furtherance of interstate commerce. The constitutionality of such a step cannot be in doubt. In the ear lier days of the Republic great atten tion was naid to such highways. Un fortunately, these efforts were coinci dent with .a period of wild-cat finan ciering which brought distress upon the country, and eyil came of what should haye been an unmixed bless ing. But the new. project would be on a sounder basis, and it would be even more timely than it w.as in 'the days before railroads had been developed to their present high power and per fection. We haye given so much at tention to railroad development that the vehicular lines of travel and transportation have been grossly neg lected. It is time for us to wake up, and the indications are that we are wak ing up. It is hoped the government may be interested in this project, whereby continuity and harmony will result in great national highways. It is the logical consequence of the movement now going forward throughout the Atlantic states. JAPANESE BUY REVOLVERS. Troubles at Honolulu Seem to Be on the Increase. Honolulu, June 17- No reply has been received by the Japanese strik ers here to the cabled appeal which: the arrested editor of Ji.ji made to j Ambassador Takahira at Washington. : The appeal claimed that the authori-j ties entered the office of the newspa-i per without due process of law and thereby violated the treaty rights of the four editors now under arrest. A letter to Mr. Takahira setting forth the steps taken by the Higher Wage ssociation and reciting the acts of the authorities complained of in their cabled appeal to the ambassador will be sent by the Alameda, which leaves this port tomorrow. In re sponse to appeals cabled tp the Jap anese of San Francisco and Seattle replies have been received by the strike leaders promising financial and moral support. All of the mes sages said that subscriptions have been started. The strike leaders declare that the arrests have solidified the sentiment of the strikers and the whole Japa nese community. The Japanese Re tail Merchants' Association have re considered their resolution favoring a leturn'to work and now favor the prosecution of the strike. It is al leged that many Japanese are buying revolvers with the avowed purpose of resisting what they term unauthorized seizures. Today's Double Annular Eclipse. Washington, D. C June 17. At the Naval Observatory here and among American scientists in general much disappointment is felt that today's eclipse cannot be seen to its best ad vantage on this continent, for the eclipse is one of the most interesting of astronomical phenomena. The present eclipse is one of the peculiar type of solar eclipses which " begins as annular, becomes total and changes to annular again. Although the rec ords of eclipses go back hundreds of years the history of astronomy fails to show any duplicate for the double annular and total eclipse such as that which occurs today. The central path of this eclipse lies wholly in the far north. It begins in Siberia and, crossing the Arctic cir cle, passes nearer the north pole than any explorer has yet reached, and leaves the earth In southern Green land. The southern region of partial eclipse includes China, Eastern Asia, and North America as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. But throughout practically the whole of North Ameri ca observers will be able to see only a very small partial eclipse so small In fact as to be hardly noticeable. Unknown Negro Lynched. Arcadia, Fla., June 16. An un known negro was lynched here for an attempted attack upon Mrs. P. R, Reed, the wife of a prominent citi zen.- A posse was formed as soon as the news of the attempted crime was spread and in an hour was captured and hanged. SHANNON-FIELDS. Two Weil-Known Goldsboro Young People Wed Wednesday Night. Seldom has been witnessed in Goldsboro a more ; lovely wedding than that of Mr. Jack Galloway Shan non and Miss Pearl Fields in the First Baptist Church Wednesday night at 8 : 30 o'clock, for which happy event the spacious edifice was crowded with the friends of the contracting parties who had gathered joyously and in all good wishes to witness the eternal locking together of the lives of these two popular young people. The chancel was gorgeously banked in green growing palms and ferns, in front of which sat the waiting minis ter and behind which was the choir, and as the large congregation waited for the ceremony, they were brought in sweet accord with the mystic charm of it all by the unspeakably beautiful rendering of the "Melody of Love'' my Miss May Vineyard Hol- comb, of Milford, Del., with Miss Maude Pittman as accompanist on the piano. Immediately thereafter the notes of Mendelssohn's wedding march an nounced that the bridal party had ar rived and all interest was instantly centred at the chancel, where the offi ciating minister, the pastor, Rev. George T. Watkins, stood in waiting, while the bridal party formed around him. These were Messrs. Henry Shannon, brother of the groom; Wal ter Denmark, 4- S. Lee, of Pollocks ville, and Dr. T, Malcolm Bizzell : maid of honor, Miss May Fields, sister of the bride; - bridesmaids. Misses Jane Powell, of Whiteville, and Clyde Johnson, of this city. As the lovely bride approached, with her brother-in-law, Mr. O. E. Jones, who' gave her away, the groom was escorted from the vestry by his "best man," Mr. Tom O'Berry. As the marriage vows were plight ed Miss Pittman rendered softly "Traumeri," and as the bridal party left the church she played Tannhau-I ser's recessional. Immediately after the ceremony thej bridal party repaired in carriages to! the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Bennet Fields, on East Spruce street, where an informal reception was held, till the hour of their departure for ! Washington, D. C, on their bridal j trip, and where their friends in great' numbers called to extend their con- gratulations and good wishes. ' The home was beautifully d eclated ; and brilliantly lighted and the dis play of lovely wedding presents at tested the happy young couple's sub stantial popularity with their Hosts of; friends. Of course there was the convention al shower of rice as the young couple took the train. The Argus joins with all of Golds boro in wishing this popular young couple life's fullest measure of hap piness and prosperity. The out-of-town guests were Miss Sue D. Powell, of Whiteville; Miss Jane Powell, of Whiteville; Miss Lillie Dickson, of Lake Waccamaw; Miss Maude Watson, of Fremont; Miss Lillian Hooks, of Fremont; Mrs. Har riett Dawson, of Klnston; Mr. A Street Lee, of Pollocksville ; Mr. W. Baxter, of Wilmington. Trouble Feared in Honduras. New Orleans, June 16. The Times- Democrat today says : Events are marching on toward rev olution in Honduras, according to dis patches received yesterday by local business men engaged in Centra? American trade. The country faces a crisis probably the most serious since the fall of General Manuel Bonilla in 1906. General Bonilla Is in New Orleans- and it was stated yesterday that he has secured his passage to Belize, Honduras, for next Thursday on the steamship H. T. Inge as had also Dr. Fausto Davilla, a step-brother of President Davilla. They stoutly deny, however, that there is anything sig nificant in their departure. - Anniversary of Slocum Disaster.

New York, June , 15. Presbyterians from all over the world are attending the international convention of the Presbyterian Church, which opened today at the Fifth Avenue Presbyte rian Church. The; delegates number more than three 'hundred and they represent among tlrem ninety separate denominations and 35,000,000 mem bers. . Included among those present are some of the most distinguished theo logians and ecclesiastics in the world. The presiding officer is Dr. Oswald Dykes, of Cambridge, England. Other noted delegates from abroad are Sir Alexander Simpson, late dean , of the faculty of the medical college of the University of Edinburgh; Dr. J, Camp bell Gibson, moderator of the Presby terian Church of England; the Rev. Dr. James Orr, a leading theologian of Glasgow; Prof. McAllister,' of the University of Cambridge; Dr, J, H. Stevenson, of Edinburgh, a nephew of Robert Louis Stevenson ; Rev. Dr. Laws, moderator of the United Free Church of Scotland; Sir .Samuel Chisholm, former Lord Mayor of Glas gow; Rev. Charles Merle O'Aubigne, of Paris, and Rev. Chevalier Muston, of Italy. v Among the American delegates who are on the program for addresses are Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia; President Woodrow Wilson, of Prince ton University; President James D. Moffatt, of Washington and Jefferson College; Rev. Samuel L. Smith, of the Columbia, S. C, Theological Semi-; nary; Rev. Frederick B. DuVal, for mer moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada; Rev. Ira Landrith, of Nashville, and Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts, stated clskve the Northern Presbyterian General Assembly. " " The local Presbyterians have made elaborate preparations for entertain ing the delegates. The Pan-Presbyterian Alliance, as the gathering is commonly called, is not a legislative body. Its work is to discuss church and religious questions, and while it has no legislative functions its rec ommendations carry great weight with the governing bodies of the sep arate denominations. The sessions of the present meet ing will continue ten days. One of the most vital questions to be consid ered when the convention gets into full swing will be the uniting of the various branches of the Presbyterian Church into one strong body. This problem has been broached at other conventions, but, according to views expressed by some of the leading del egates today, the question is to come up in more concrete form at this meeting. . - Immigration will be another impor tant matter to receive the attention of the convention. The gathering will also take up civic and social prob lems, and there will be discourses on these by clergymen and laymen from all- over the world. Summer Battleship Maneuvers. .

MUCH TALKED OF COMET w MAY NOW BE SEEN HERE Many Local Persons Have Seen Tail of Comet in Southeastern Sky at Night.; The much talked of comet, that was reported last week as traveling at a rate of 100,000 miles- an hour ; , and having a tail 200,000,000 miles long has been seen by Goldsboreans in the sky,-a little south of east. It appears to be sinking and is easily discernible by the naked eye.: f Beamfh r ha Rind m Haw Always tj CHARLES W. . A.J :. k"W tfHE MANNA. l'hat the Most Melaneholv Chanter of Lamentations Remains to Be Written. The most distressing Information that has come over the wires for a long time is the story that a number of negroes In Louisiana have died from the effects of eating blackber ries. - ; The shock of this statement is about what it would be If we sudden ly discovered that the trout were be ginning to drown in the mountain brooks or the cows had caught enter ic fever in the sweet fields of clover, From a period beyond the memory of man- the blackberry crop in the Southern states has been to the negro population like manna in the wilder Less, while to the white people them selves it has been one of the most im portant adjuncts of daily diet in the good old summer time. . The latter, for the most part, were not their own purveyors. They bought the dusky bucketfuls at the back door, and serv ed them fresh for breakfast, made them into jam or cordial, in fifty-seven different varieties finding them wholesome and delightful. It was the country darkey to whom they belonged as of right. Neve a and owner in all this Southland was so ' hard-hearted as to maintain that he had any vested or prescriptive rights to the blackberry vines which wove themselves along the rail fence. giving white promise in the spring of rich largess when spring rounded in to summer. This succulent fruit. wild as the crab and "sweet as re membered kisses," was in the cate gory with dogs valuable, but not property. - - 1 It was the spontaneous usufrust which belonged to all the people, and most especially to the country negro. The neWs that the blackberry crop had failed would have created greater consternation and infinitely greater hardship than the failure of the Bar ings or the arrest of the tide. The beauty of it all was" that it was crop which never failed. It could be relied upon with the implicit faith we plaee in Johnson grass. Nor has it failed yet; but the trag edy of it all is that a parasite the ever present and all devouring has made its appearance, and this para site, it seems, is poisonous. At any rate, the Louisiana negroes are dead,, after a hearty al fresco meal, partaken from the vines-on the roadside. We have scarcely caught up with our sleep since the San Jose scale gave us such a jolt, when the staple crop of the South seemed threatened. What cotton is to the Southern negro as raiment, the blackberry is as food throughout the summer months. He could lie down and rise up, and there was no one to make him afraid ef go ing hungry so long as the blackber ries held out. It was a kind of sus pension bridge between the two ends of the 'possum season. And now this most delectable of fruits, so free and abundant, has fall en under suspicion if not actual con tamination. We are told "there's death tu the pot." If these fears should prove well founded, the most melancholy chap ter of Lamentations remains to be written. MEETING OF KAISER AND CZAR. Meeting of the Two Rulers to Take Place Off RevaL Berlin, June 16. The imperial yacht Hohenzollern, with Emperor William aboard, is now on its way to the Finnish Gulf for the meeting ar ranged for tomorrow between the Em peror and Czar. According to advices from St. Petersburg the meeting of the two rulers will take place off Re- val. Both the Emperor and the Czar are to be accompanied by their for eign ministers and other advisers. Great political significance is at tached to the meeting of the two rul ers, it is ruiiy recognized tnat uer man mediation, which brought about a settlement of the recent Balkan crisis, was not altogether to the liking of St. Petersburg, and that as a conse quence the support of the Russian government in future might be more likely to be given Great Britain's con tinental policy than to the German policy. The possibility of close rela tlons between Russia on the one side and France and England on the other has been viewed In Germany with some concern. A ; determined effort will now be made to detach Russia from England and France and to engage Russian su and France and to engage Russian support for Germany. The personal element plays a great part In interna tional European policies, and the striking personality of the Kaiser counts for a great deal. The Kaiser is expected to exert all his personal fascination in order to gain the sym pathies of the Czar and thereby to in-fiuc-nre the foreign policy of Russia in a direction; favorable to Germany. ' i. " PRUDENT CONTRACTING Goldsboro's Bitulitiiic Paving Done at Minimum Cost. Our City Fathers Have Been Conser vative in Expenditure of City Funds and in Driving Good Paving Trade. That the bitulithic paving put down along West Walnut street is the best, and that our City Fathers, who bar gained for it at $2.25 per square yard, made a good trade as to price, we copy from yesterday evening's Nor folk Ledger-Dispatch the following item: "The local board of the Seventh ward, at its meeting Saturday night, awarded the contract for paving 34th street to the Atlantic Bitulithic Com pany, the local representative of which is John Whitehead. The con tract price is $2.24 per square yard, and the aggregate of the contract is about $23,000. Bitulithic was used on a part of the Boulevard here and has given good results. "Bids for various other kinds of paving were also submitted, but the board concluded that, everything con sidered, including probable cost of re pairs, the bitulithic was the most eco aomical and desirable proposition be fore them." It will be seen from the above that in a city like Norfolk, where all kinds of paving have been put to the prac tical test, the bitulithic is considered In every way the best, and won out over all other competing bids. Furthermore, it will be observed that the 'contract price at which the above bid is awarded is $2.24 per square yard. This in Norfolk, where competitive railroad freights and wa ter rates prevail, making transporta tion of pounded rock much cheaper than to Goldsboro, and yet Goldsboro iias a price of only one cent per square yard more, viz, $2.25. This speaks well for the prudence and sagacity with which our JPAtv Va. thers handle the public fundOh their hands. -$5 3t EUREKA HAPPENINGS. Messrs.
