"RUNIE" AND FITZHUGH LEE.

The Formers Modesty in Marked Contrast
with the Latter's Love of Display.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Gen. w. III. Lee.
who will be buried tomorrow beside his
father, Gen. Robert +. Lee, has been for
years one of the most picturesque figures in
the House of Representatives. With his
death the second generation of the Lees
does not expire, for there is another son,
Capt Custer Lee. The dead one was known
by everyone as "Runie" Lee In facial ap-
pearance he is said to have resembled his
distinguished father. but the resemblance
ended there. The confederate loader
was 1.-the of limb and of ath-
letic build, while his son "Runier
was of pOnderous Percheron build.
1t was his peculiar rolling gait which gave
him the name of "Runie." His farm was
within an hours ride of Washington, not
far from Mount Vernon. Va, and was q fa
vOrlte point fcr Congressman to visit. For
several years, during the coolest days of
January. General Lee made it point to

the House frequently took on o earmine
nue. a1ter several DatTel6 OF MS IeU roses
had been pinned oil the lapels of members,
officers, messengers, pages and dOOr-keepers.
His mOdesty over his connection with the
leader of the COnfederacy was in marked
contrast with the effusiye display which
Gen. ritZhugh Lee made. When President
Cleveland was Inaugurated Gen. FitZhugh
Lees appearance was one of the notable
features of the procession. He used the
saddle and trappings of Gen. X. 4. Lees
old war charger. 1t brought ont all the
enthusiasm of the Southerners. and made
Fitzhugh Lee the hero of the
hOnr. Wherever he went he left q
Lee trail behind him. but "Runie" Lee was
never known to mention his connection
with the confederate leader. although he
was son and Fitzhugh nephew. At the
moment when Fitzhugh was receiving an
ovation during the Inauguration procession
by reason of his uncle's trappinRs "Runie"
Lee stood on the curb-stone and was one of
the most modest of the spectators.
Roger q. Mills, Senator Morgan and q
number of public men who are here will 60
to the Lee farm tomorrow to take part in
the funeral exercises. which will be within
sight, almost, of Arlington, the historic
homo of the Lee family.

PARNELL'S SUCCESSOR.

Pierce Mahoney Greeted the New Leader

LONDON, Oct. I5.-Pierce Mahoney. NJ z.
for North Meath. speaking at meeting of
the followers of Mt. Parnell at Dublin to-
day, was greeted as the new leader. He
rallied at Dillon and O'Brien. A year ago
he reverenced them next to Mr.. Parnell; he
now despised them from the bottom of his
heart. Though the party had lost the
genius and craftsmanship of Parnell the
path he marked out was plain and they
would tread that path. Defeats would
not discourage them: if they had
not single seat IN the House
of Commons he would still have q
party in the country that would live in the
hearts of the independent men OF Ireland.
BY them and their spirit sooner or later
Ireland would be redeemed. Mahoney is u
mere figurehead.f He is poor speaker. and
has no known gifts as a tactIcian. The
section has but three men of proven par
llamentary ability-Redmond, Leary aud
John OConnor. The first named has be-
come the actual leader. The evaporation
OF the factions increases daily. Healy IS

Why Soldiers Should Oppose Any Party That

EATON. o., Oct. 16.-Major Mckinley ad-
dressed q gathering of several thousand
people in an open-air speech here to-day.
He spoke of the immense consequences of
the coming election in Ohio and it's effect
on national issues. There were many old
soldiers In the audience. and he spoke of
the effect upon them of q deprecated silver
currency. THE men of opulence,n said
Mckinley. "are no longer the principal
creditors of the government, but the SOL
dicrs. In 1861 the creditors of the govern
ment were men of wealth. They drew from
it Sl46, coo every year IN interest on the
bonds they held. while the old soldiers
drew from the public treasury as pensions
$4,000. To-day the conditions are reversed
The pensions amount TO Sl35 0O0 0O0 and

be put in power which shall depreciate the

the old soldiers shall not be paid in as good

Nc Treaty Likely to BE Negotiated Until the
Present Tory Cabinet Falls.
Special 20 the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Several of Can
ads's public men are quietly dropping into
Washington with view to ascertaInng
why it was that the reciprocity conference
set for Oct. 12 wac so suddenly dropped.
The prevailing opinion among them is that
our authorities believe there is no real de-
sire to have any conference with the pres
ent Tory government of Canada, and that
we ore waiting q change of party power in
Canada. This is the second conference
which has been declared off, and the
Canadian visitors want to find out II there
is not some underlying cause for these re-
peated failures. Thomas p. German,
editor of the Ottawa Free Press. is among
the visitors. He called at the White
House to-day and had ten
minutes talk with the President
concerning the cause of delay and
the attitude of the government toward
Canada The President assured Mr.. Cor
man that there was nothing in the post
ponement further than that it was not con.
venient to discuss the question at the pres
ent time. lie had only good things to say
of our northern neIghbors, and, IN q gener-
al way. expressed the hope that more cor.
dial relations would be established be-
tween the two countries.
Notwithstanding this assurance Mr.. Cor
man and his associates. believe that the
anti-character of the Tory party now in
power in Canada is the real cause of the
failure to secure q conference. The minis
ters who have succeeded Sir John Mellon
aid entertain that bigoted animosity
against the United States which has long
characterized the Tory party Of Canada
and the mother country. lr is the remnant
revolution. Public opinion in Canada
has forced the Tory ministers to
adopt pretense of reciprocity, but it Of
fends their lOyallst views and is merely a
surface effort toward kindly relations with
this country. The President and Mr.. Blaine
fully appreciate this and are said to be
waiting for the Tories to be turned out as
is confidently expected by public men here.
With Liberal government IN power
pied ged to cordial relations with the United
States, there Will be little difficulty in hav.
ing the President and Mr.. Blaine arrange q
conference with the Canadians. Mr.. Cor
man and his associates who are here, are
among the most conspicuous Liberals of
Canada. They have not only talked with
the President, but with Senator Morgan,
Roger =. Mills and other Democratic lead
ers. On all hands the expression is general
that the fall of the Old Tory bigOts in Can
ada Will remove the last obstacle in tine
way of extended trade relations between
the two countries.

A ROMANCE OF THE RIVER.
Why an Allegheny Engagement Was
Broken OF.

1t was the same old pair-the young man
and his best girl. This time they had been
up the Allegheny boating, and were return
ing home as night was falling. 1t fell some
where near the Seventh street bridge No
one was hurt The lady was at the helm,
and the youth was pulling energetically
with the stream. Some distance from the
Allegheny side and right acress their course
deserted barge had been anchored for the
night. Through some mismanagement on
the part of the fair steerer the boat crashed
up against the obstruction, and confusion
followed. The gallant youth, thinking all
was lost, quickly decided that this was
case where presence of mind was nowhere
with absence of body, and speedily
clambered out of the ill-fated skiff onto the
top of the barge, leaving the maiden to her
fate.
She. however, was of a different mold, and
seeing at a glance that the boat was in no
way injured, seized the oars and pulled for
the shore.
Half an hour afterward a shivering and
much disgusted wretch was rescued by
passing skiff and put ashore. Next morn
ing he called on his fair companion, only to
be received with scorn aud contumely.
Some day he hopes to be able to explain,
but in the meantime the engagement is off
and another fellow is squandering his salary
on ice cream for the heroine of the Allie
gheny
