OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
INV s;llrg Of the Monument 10 Memory OF
their Talor.


RICHMOND. Va., May 30.-Tbe exer-
clses incident to the unveillDg of the
monument to Confederate soldiers and
sailors began today with the cavalry
reunion. Fitz Lee, Wade HAMPTON,
Governor O'Ferrell, the Rev. j. William
Jones and Gen. Rosser made speeches
Gen. Rosser was bitter in his arralgn'
ment of the United States pension
system.
The exercises of the day passed OF
without hitch, Notwithstanding the
fact that quite heavy rain fell during
almost the whole time of the rendition
of the programme at the monument.
The parade of military commands and
Confederate veterans was the finest
ever seen here, with the exception OF
that at the time of the unveiling of the
Lee monument. The column was an
hour and quarter passing q given
point. A noble feature Of il was body
of several hundred children dressed in
Confederate colors-red white and RED.
These headed the line.
Ihenumber of veterans was a5 great
probably as at the Lee monument un-
yelling, and the presence in the ranks
Of Wade Hampton, Fltg Lee and other
heroes of the Lost Cause" was the
occasion of enthusiastic cheering all al
oDg the line of march. The city was
crowded with visitors from ether
points in Virginia and Southern StaEes,
the number being conseTVatiYely esti-
mated at 25,00O.
The Maryland delegation Of veterans,
headed by Gen. Bradley T. Johnson,
was large and imposing. That from
Washington city was also conspicuous
in the parade. A delegation from Char
lesion carried branches of palmetto in
their hands. North Carolina was re-
presented by Adjutant General Came
ron and several companies Of Stats
Guards, and South Carolina by several
companies of State troops. The Viz
gina Volunteers made a remarkably
fine showing.
Business was almost entirely sus.
pended during the day, the banks, ex-
changes and State and municipal offices
being closed. Almost without excep.
tioD, the houses on the line of march
were profusely decorated with the Con-
federate and Virginia colors, so that
the parade was through lanes of buns-
ing. "Old Glorly" was by 10 means &C.
sent, however, being often intertWlned
with other colors and flying frona
almost every flag staff.
At the monument the programme was
carried out as arranged. Mr. D. G.
Richardson, president of the Monu.
mental Association, filled the post Of
chairman with ability and modesty;
there was PRAYER by the Rev. Dr..
Hoge, Mr.. A. G. Gordon read his poem,
written for the occasion, and the Rev.
Mr.. Cave of ST. Louis then made the
address of the day.
On the conclusion OF the
address, the veil was withdrawn
by a little boy and little girl, repres-
enting respectively the army and the
navy and there was salute by artil-
lery and infantry, lasting some time
and walking the echoes of the James
as of yore. ToneighL camp fires and
social reunions are the order,

service in working up and prosecuting

T. H. Lee, of the American Bank Note

general auditor of the Southerni iExpres

wood was established so clearly that
there could be no doubt whatever.
Blackwood was prosecuted by United
States Dlstric Attorney Mlrphy and
his able assistants, Messrs Wood and

was made in the case by District At

GERMANS PROTEST.
The Additional Sugar Duty She Claims
Violates the Spirit Of Treaty Agree

The Additional Sugar Duty She Claims
Violates the Spirit Of Treaty Agree
ments.
The German government, through its am
bassador. Baron Won Laurma Jeltsch. has
made a strong protest to the Secretary OF
State against that clause Of the act which
imposes an additional duty of one-tenth of
a cent per pound on sugars imported from
those governments which pay an export
bounty on the article to their producers.
1t is held by the German government that
this feature of the new tariff act is more
oppressive In Its action against the sugar
prodl GERS Of that country than any other.
and violates the spirit Of the treaty ar
rapgements between the two governments.
particularly In view of the concession by
which the embargo against American pork
Tor time enforced by Germany. was rails
ed. Germany thinks that her commercial
interests in this matter should be upon the
same plane as the most favored nation-to
use the common treaty term of Europe.
Her representatives here, however, UNDER
stand the status OF the case, that IL is not
in the power OF the State or Treasury De-
partment to change the working of existing
laws; that IL Us the prerogative OF Congress
alone, by legislation TO take that step.
The German ambs ssador says that the
protest has been entered in a friendly spirit.
While the feature Of the law TO which his
government objects operases also against
France, Austria and Belgium, IL is much
more unfavorable 10 the German sugar in
terest. because the export duty paid By
Germany Is lower than that granted by
either OF tile other countries mentioned, 20
much lower that the German exporters are
placed at a decided disadvantage In COM
peting with their neighbors In the markets
OF America With this discrimination re-
moved the German sugar growers would b
able to conduct a profitable business with
the United States. The ambassador Is very
hopeful that legislation will be adopted az
the short session of Congress to obviate The
discrimination against his country.

When to this natural proclivity of the

excited by drinking. IL did not grow out
OF any seriously strained relations between
the two nationalities. who are on ordinary
good terms with each other. A few blows
were exchanged, and some of the English
men got roughly handled. There was some
feeling on shipboard. and the officers con-
cerned, as well as the men. generally were
prudently kept aboard until after the de-
parture of the Charleston for Japan. We
have probably heard the last OF that matter.
