Removal of the Lee Statue.
+ .uscisl Correspondence OF the Alexa. GAzsr1r]

The trucks containing the equestrian
statue of General Robert E. Lee, were yes
terday removed from the railway station in
Richmond 10 the plat, where the statue is
to be crested. Shortly after five O'Clock the
procession WAS formed with squad of
policemen in front. Then came Lee Camp
of Confederate Veterans, followed By the
old veterans organizations. Immediately
behind them came the four trucks in single
file, with men, women and children Juggling
at the ropes. The line of march wss Iitera,-
~ packed With people, while the cheering
and waving Of flags was continuous. Here
and there grown people would drop out of
the line, and a rush would be made TO eli
their placer. The boys aud some of the
girls. however, kept their places on the
ropes to the end. 1t Is estimated that there
were two thousand grown ladies and girls
whose fair hands held the ropes. Little
tots were carried out into the streets in their
mothers arms and their small hands placed
upon the ropes. All the trucks were hand
somely decorated with pictures of General
Lee and fags of the Southern States, while
foated to the breeze.
Wuen the head Of the line reached the
monumsnt grounds the brass bsnd played

Mr.. MCKINLEY in his speech on the tar
if bill In the U. S. House of Representa-
tives yesterday, said If any one thing Waf
fettled by the election of Mr.. Harrison, II
was that the people of the country were In
favor of high tariff, or words to that e.
feet. Mr. Mckinley was never more mis-
taken In all his life. In the first place. low
tariff was endorsed by the one hundred
thousand popular majority that was given
for Mr.. Cleveland when MIR. Harrison was
eleoted 10 the second, without the vote Of
the negroes, who don't know the difference
between high anu a low tariff, MIR. Harrison
would have been defeated by million ma
jority and in the third, had 1t not been for
Mr.. Cieveiand's personal unpopnlarity with
his own party. especially with the Tamma-
ny democrats of New York, his low tariff
ideas would have mere than Offset the "fat''
and "blocks of I've" by which he was de-
faated. Oh, no. according to the true his
tory of the last Presidential election, the
one thing decided by that election YVES, not
that the intelligent voters of this country
love TO bear the enormous burdens of q
high, but that they long for the relief that
that would be afforded them by low, tariff.

 When Roy turned to question him still further he was gone. He disappeared as suddenly and mystcriously as he had app pearcd.
 While Roy still remained silent ob- server Guy was planning with his nssoci. ates to contrive some untried means by which to induce Roy to go into some gnnie so that he might be more easily led on step by step to the trap so skillfully set to catch him.
 But occasionally the best hid schemes of the wisest and most cunning men, fail, and this was true of Guy Posters plans.
 As the merriment increased and the drunken men and women became more noisy, Roy. becoming thoroughly disgust ed with the place, ventured out into the crowd to look for Guy and make known to him his intention to leave for home at once He advanced few steps from where he had been sitting when he heard angry words near by, and d glance at two nicely dressed young gentlemen sitting on either side Of table upon which there was a pack of cards. bottle aud two glasses, assured him that they were en- gagged in a quarrel.
 They had evidently been drinking too freely. for their faces were flushed and their hands unsteady, while their eyes gleamed like the eyes of ferocous ani- mal X dispute arose between them and angry words flew thick and fast. One called the other liar and two revolvers glisiened in the dim light. For . mo ment the two men stood face to face with upiifted weapons, without nttering word.
 For moment all was as silent as the grave. The antagonists moved not mus cle, but looked one another squareiy in the face with the look of desperation. The silence was broken by the report of two pistol shots, aud the forms of two stall wart young men fell to the ground nor tally wounded
