Robert u. Lee.

Washlngton's birthday anniversary
will be commemorated next week, in
New Orleans, by the unveiling of the
statue of the man who was his peer in
nobility OF character, and in holy pat
riotism.
As a captain, Robert E. Lee proved
himself the ablest of his day. Before
him, the gallant McCiellan--the great
est strategist that ever led IA Northern
army on the field-yielded the palm of
victory. After him, Pope, Burn
side, Hooker and Meade, saw their
fame wither at the touch of Lees un-
wayering bayonets. Then Grant came
with his masses, striking at Lees deci-
mated battalions, with that main
strength and awkwardness that the
blinded world misnamed and misjudged
to have been genius, until he had van
quished the glorious phantom of the
Army of Northern Virginia.
Had the world taken into account
Grants defeats at the Wilderness,
Spottsylvania, Cold Harber and Peters
burg, by mere handfuls of war-worn
veterans, the taciturn warrior would
not be wearing, to-day, the laurels
that Mcclellan in fairer combat would
more nobly have earned.
Napoleon met defeat at Waterloo.
Yet his fame remained undimmed by
that disaster. He was still grand at
Waterloo, though his genius failed to
guide his still brilliant army to victory.
Lee was not defeated at Appomatox.
The remnant of his army was over
borne by the mere weight of numbers.
Neither strategy nor his matchless
skill could contend against the odds of
| fifteen to one.
So that when the name of Grant will
only be mentioned because Its connec-
tien with the dramas enacted on the
fields of the Old Dominion, that of Lee
will live in song and story.
The people of New Orleans may we'll
be proud of the statue that in their
midst viii personify the beau ideal oil

BGNGHANIToN. n. Y, Oct. 2S.-The
special train bringing Blaine and his
party left Elmira promptly at a. M.
The first stop was at Waverly, where
there was large gathering for go early
an hour. Mr., Blaine spoke briefly.
WHERE THE SHOW HAS BEEN.
New YORK, Oct. 2S.-At : o'clock
tonight the train bearing MIR. Blaine
and his party ran into the depot at
Jersey City. A great crowd cheered
Blaine and crowded around him so
that 1t Was not easy for the party to
get through the Ferry house.
The Ferry company had provided
a special boat which carried the party
to the foot of Twenty-third street,
whence they were driven To the Fifth
Avenue hotel where Mr.. Elkins, Sem
ator Hale and Mr.. Blaine's wife
and daughter were awaiting him. 1t
IL six weeks since Mr.. Blaine left
Augusta. In that time he has trav-
eled more than 5000 miles and
has made from ten 10 twenty speeches
per day. He is in excellent health
and spirits, even better than when he
started. The run from Elmira, 272
miles, was one Of the longest made in
any one day and, owing to the excel
lent arrangements made by the Off
GERS of the Erie road and the good man
agement Of Mr.. Draper of the national
committee, was at the same time one
of the easiest, although it included
eighteen stops and speeches.
To-DAY's PROGRAMME.
New York, Oct. 2S.-At 10 a. M.
tomorrow Mr.. Blaine will receive a
committee of ministers at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. He will witness the
parade in the afternoon and attend

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 2S.-
Steamer Arabic which arrived yester-
day from China and Japan, brings the
following further details of the great
typhoon which Sept. 10 caused such
terrible destruction of life and property.
AT Yokohama and Toxic the storm
came up so rapidly and
with such tremendous force,
that no precautions could be taken.
In Yokohama the entire lower part of
the city, called 1.-The Settlement was
completely wrecked. Not house was
left standing. The inhabitants made
no attempt TO save their property, but
fled for their lives to escape drowning
from the rushing waters driven on the
land by the fury of the
wind. The foreign newspaper makes
no attempt to furnish any details OF
the destruction in that section of the
city, saying that as 1.-The Settlement"
was destroyed 1t was useless to publish
any details.
The higher portions of the city, be-
ing more exposed, were equally unfor-
tunate. Several of the largest and
most substantial buildings were swept
away as II built of pasteboard. In this
section alone lbs houses were destroyed
and 800 damaged. The loss of life on
shore IL less than at sea. OF so sailing
vessels, 81 were lost with 223 persons
aboard. Twelve vessels with 1870 per
sons are also missing. or the five life
boats that went to rescue the drown
ing crews were swamped and 10 OF
their crew drowned. The typhoon
was the severest experienced since

A Republican Orator Advising Negroes

TO Go TO the Polls With Guns.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 2S-Robert
Smalls. who has been nominated for
congressman by the Republicans Of
the "black district" Is making 4 red
hot canvass in several of the aeaboard
counties. Smalls' ire has recently
been aroused because the Democrats
have been, in his own words, $50 inn
pudent and Infamous as to attempt to
oppose me In my own territory
by bringing out at the
eleventh hour a Bourbon named Eli
liott.n The Democrats of this dark
reservation lately met in convention
and nominated as Smslls' opponent
for congressional honors one of the
ablest and purest men In the state,
Col. William Elliott of Beaufort In
this region of blackness towering me-
gro majority must be suppressed. Col.
Elliott bases his chances OF success on
the detection in the Republi-
can party aud the unpopularity
Of Smalls. Yesterday an immense
mass-meeting was held in Beaufort
county. IL is estimated that about
nine thousand negroes and one hun
dred whites were present. Smalls was
the only orator OF the day, ana ht kept
his dusky listeners standing in the
broiling sun for nearly three hours
while he delivered most incendisry
harangue. In the course of his
speech he said: 81 want TO give you
some good advice. First of all, you
must swear by all that's holy
to defeat the id Bourbon Democrats
ut all hazards. You must Immediately
buy each one OF you good gun and
pistol and procure good supply OF
ammunition. i tell you we are going
to have trouble, and you must be pre-
pared 10 meet 1t. Your liberties are
in danger, and you must fight for
them. The Infamous Demo.

zeal, damnable, helllsh plot to
try to count me out. You must follow
my advice and we will be on top once
more Loud shouts of I'VE will

Elliot"l This is fair sample Of
Smalls style OF campaign oratory.

as to follow Smalls' Infamous advice
then would this be compaign o
