American Tobacco Company. The wit
ness said IL was not, II he could not buy
directly from the manufacturers.
on cross-cxamination the witness said
he had been here from st. Louis since
last Monday. at the request OF Mr.. OIL
colt. who guaranteed hin his expenses.
He further testified that he could not
make as much profit on the American
Tobacco Company's goods II he bought
them second hand. as II he purchased di-
rect from the company. He knew that
the National Tobacco Company guaran-
teed n certain amount Of money TO cover
any loss on account OF any differences
between the firm and the American Com
pany.
The witness did not know very much
about the agreement between his firm
and the National Tobacco Company. His
partner, Mr. Harms, knew all about II.
but he was in St. Louis. He could not
tell how long his firm had been receiving
payments from the National Tobacco
Company. He supposed he did testify in
December 1894 that the arrangement
was still continuing. He could not tell
how long after this the payments con-
tinued Neither he nor his firm, either
directly or Indirectly, contributed to
suit or suits against the American To-
bacco Company. The contract OF the
American Tobacco Company had been
satisfactory one TO the witness. The
company fully lived up to its agreement
until October. 1888 Just before that time
he was visited by several representatives
OF the National Tobacco Company.
Mr.. Choate sought TO have the wit
ness testify that his firm never had any
intention of changing the American To-
bacco contract until the visit OF these
representatives, but the questions were
not allowed.
The witness said he and his partner
had conversations upon the subject
of handling National Tobacco Company
cigarettes. previously TO his interview
with the representatives OF that COM
pany. The nature of these conversations
was not allowed to be brought out. He
did not have the agreement of the Ma
tional Tobacco Company with him.
Theodore Allen was the next witness.
but so many objections were made by
both sides that nothing important was
brought out.
Daniel Dressler, n Brooklyn tobacco
manufacturer: Frederick b. Hyer. and
Henry /. Stockwell. were the other wit
nesses to-day.

GENERAL LEE INDIGNANT.
Washington Dispatch About Rutx
Report shows Ignorance.

alabama Correspondence N. Y. World)
| saw Consul General Lee to-day (20th)
in reference to the New York Herald's
Ruiz report was move on the part OF
General Lee towards securing the COVER
norship of Virginia. General Lee said;
II have always tried to do my duty
conscientously. The Heraid's corre-
spondent shows great ignorance in as
suming that 1 use my office to play Vir-
ginia politics. 1 have not taken and
never would take, any such part. No
one was more surprised than l at the
publication Of the Ruiz report before ii
reached the State Department, and no
one was less connected with such publi-
cation.''
AS General Lee has already been Cover
nor Of Virginia for four years. and has
invariably declined to accept q renomi-
nation. the Herald's story does him great
injustice in charging him with being guilty
OF playing with the national safety to
secure his own selfish interests. The diff
icult duties of his Office have been dis
charged fearlessiy, in the face of great
opposition by the Spanish officials. and
n bitter feeling frequently displayed by
the American people. They should be
proud of the stand he has taken in be-
half of American citizens. Only those
who are here can realize the obstacles
ne has had to encounter. To assal him
at such time does incalculable harm.
The Spanish papers have copied the
Herald story extensively, making it ap-
pear that the American people have no
faith I'm General Lee. The nation must
uphold him strenuously. remembering that
he is holding the office only to oblige
President Mckinley during trying
