will set an example TO other teams
which sooner or later must be followed

students of the Virginia and North Caro-

welcome visitors to Richmond. and that
their welcome is due to their own gem

With this standard of propriety now

THE INTERVIEW WITH GEN. FITZ
LEE

The interview with General Fitz. Lee
which We published yesterday ought to,
and no doubt will. receive a great deal of
attention. General Lee discussed with
great force the all-important necessity
of changing the Constitution Of the United
States so as to cause United States SEN
ators to be elected by the people He
well said that under that system we
would have a body of senators in direct
touch with and responsive to the people,
whereas under the present system the
senator's do not represent the people, are
wholly Independent of them, and repre-
sent the mOneyed corporations which
spend money to elect men to the Legis-
lature, who are thereafter representatives
of those moneyed corporations and not
Of the people of the State. General Lee
is in as good a condition to discuss this
matter intelligently as any living man.
for he knows as well as any man alive
just how the present methods work
In reporting the interview with General
Lee our correspondent added that there
was a strong undertow running for MAX
ing General Lee the Democratic party's
candidate for Governor at the next gu
bernatorial election. 1t would be a great
day for Virginia if the Democrats forced
General Lee to be their candidate. II he
will accept the nomination there il no
power that can keep the people from
giving it to him, and from eecting him
after they nominate him
They have tried him as their Governor;
they know his sterling qualities, and
thew ftuSt him. huf above al thav yvant
chance 10 show him and the world
how deeply they resent the outrage that
was put upon HIM, along with them, when
he was thimblergged out Of that seat
in the Senate to which they would have
elected him if they had had a chance,
and which they longed to see him occupy
with honor TO himself and with credit TO
them.

SUG8K IRUSJ's SCHEME.
Opinions Agree That II 10 Int e nded to I'm
press Congress.

The New York Tim4s. in its issue Of
yesterday. says:
president Havemeyer's announcement
that the refneries of the Sugar Trust
would be closed caused much uneasi-
ness yesterday among holders OF trust
certificates and among the men whose
employment is threatened.
The refneries are always closed on
Thanksgiving-Day. In preparing FOR a
holiday, those in charge try 10 clean up
work, so that the machinery may be
oiled and examined This usually in
wolves a suspension OF labor until the
following Monday.
No orders for a departure from this
custom have yet reached the reiineries.
The men were laid off Wednesday night,
with Instructions TO report again Mon
day This order applies 10 all the REIN
cries except Havemeyer IL Elders new
refinery at south Third street and Kent
Avenue Brooklyn where work could not
be cleaned up "Wednesday night. The
men expect TO finish IL to-day.
Information obtained at the retineries
differed materially from that conveyed
In Mr. Havemeyers statement 1t was
pointed out in the New York Times yes
terday that. great as is the trusts pow
er, II can throw out Dt employment
only 5000 men. instead of $1,000 men, as
threatened by Mr. Havemeyer. The
Brooklyn retinerieS, the largest in the
trust employ 200 relners, and furnish
work for about 800 coopers and long
shOremen.
Superintendent Breton. of the Have
meyer refineres. said yesterday that the
stock on hand did not exceed 10000 bar
rels, against four times as much one
month ago. After election merchants
began to lay in stock for the winter, as
is their practice at this season. The
refineries wer. run 10 their full capacity
day and night to supply the demand.
Now that the rush is over, the work
would naturally be arranged for winter
business, which was comparatively light
These facts contrasted sharply with Mr..
Havemeyer's allegation that business had
been conducted at a loss and that the
refinerles were overstocked with goods
that could not be sold.
Ii is, Of course. possible for the trust
directors to carry out President Have
meyers threat and close the refineries
Should IL be done, il will simply illus
trate the strength OF Mr. Havemeyer's
will, regardless OF trade considerations
AS appeared by interviews yester1o-, in
the New York Times, he has not VET
thought IL worth while TO consult his as
sociates.
Opinions agreed yesterday that Mr.
Havemeyers announcement was intend
ed TO impress Congress, whltever mey

THE CASE GROWS MORSE

II is well for the United States that
Congress is about TO meet, for ii is only
too plain TO us that We are being hurried
along 10 state of affairs that may very
well result in war between this Govern
ment and Great Britain. We cannot
doubt that the Congress of the United
States will refuse to allow this country
TO be plunged into that awful calamity
on account OF the cause which now con-
stitutes the difference between the two
countries.
The latest phase of the case given TO
the public is this: 1t is said that Mica
rasua actually established a de facto gov
eminent over the Mesquite territory sew
eral months back. which the United
States. supposing England acquesced in
IL, acknowledged as the rightful govern
ment OF the territory. This Government
cannot. II is said. retrace its steps in
that behalf with dignity, and 1t must
therefore. aid Nicaragua in maintaining
that Nicaraguan Government over the
Mosquito territory which II has acknowl-
edged. But was ever non seQuitur more
complete? Suppose we did acknowledge
the Nicaraguan Government in the Mos
quito territory as the rightfuf govern
ment by what process OF reasoning are
we TO be called upon TO maintain II there?
Nicaragua is no part of the United States.
and we have no treaty of alliance. offensive
and defensive, with her that calls upon
us to fight her battles. Nicaragua is an
independent sovereignty. as much so as
France or England. and she must main
tain herself Ia the family OF nations as she
best can, as any other sovereignty does,
This is Nicaragua's quarrel, and not that
Of the United States, and Nicaragua
must light II out as she best can. We
have long acknowledged Coreas tribu-
tary relations 70 China, which Japan has
now very rudely dismembered Are we.
therefore. called upon to take China's
side in the war now going on there and
night Japan for her? The claim would be
prsposterous.

The press dispatches indicate that
Georgetown University will take the mi
tial step towards restricting football
games. The action Of the University au-
thorities is result of the rough methods
resorted TO by the players on both sides
in game between the University eleven
and the Columbia Athletic Club on Thurs
day last. Nearly all of the reports OF the
game go TO show that the contest was
simply a series OF pugiistic encounters
from beginning to end and which resulted
in a Serious spinal injury to Mr.. G.. D..
Bahen. OF the University team. besides in
juries OF less consequence to several other
players. The faculty has decided to al
low no more games between these two
teams at least. which is believed to be
the beginning of rigorous restrictions upon
this class Of athletics.
