JUST AS was anticipated by all intel
ligent and unpreiudiced people, Rev.
DR.. Hepworth, who went to Armenia
to investigate the condition of affairs
there, says, in effect, that the whole
trouble in that country and all the
bloodshed there are only the natural
and legitimate result of the actions Of
the Armenians themselves, and were
brought on Intentionally by the insurrec-
tionists among them solely for the pur-
pose of obtaining money and invoking
sympathy from England and this cour-
try, and that in view of the clrcun :
stances, the Turks, instead of being de-
nounced for cruelty and barbarity,
should be commended for their civil
zation and moderation. The general
and prevailing fault with the people OF
this country is their failure to follow
Davy Crockett's wise advice, to be sure
they are right before they 60 ahead,
and that failure results from their ignc-
rance and prejudice.

Concessions TO RUSSIA

PEKIN, Dec. 22.-The Chinese gov
eminent has granted Russia permission
to winter squadron at Port Arthur.
Great Britain demands quid pro quo,
if concessions have been made to other
powers. It has been suggested that
The Japanese and British occupy Wei
hal 0ei jointly. The situation at Kaio
Chou bay is unchanged. Germany re-
mains unyielding and the Chinese
counsellors are divided as to whether
it should be peace or war with Ger
many. China regards Russia as her
only friend and is asking her advice
alone, British influence having suffered
greatly. China is now negotiating a
loan with Russia. The latter demands
the dismissal of the British railroad en-
gineers in north China, and it is prob
able that it will be granted. The Ger
man drill instructors will be dismissed
at the expiration of their contracts, and
will be replaced by Russians.

About o score of others were rescued

AS THE President has already ap-
pointed negroes to important offices in
Georgia and is now thinking about
making one Off them postmaster at
Savannah, the white people Of that city
have assembled and declared that il
there be any sincerity 10 Northern
protestations that the South is an inte-
grail portion of the country, and not
eubjugated province, subject to the
whims of the conqueroI, the Presi
dent has no right, except that Of might,
to impose upon them officers to whom
they have settled and abiding objec-
ton. But as under no conditions
would Georgia ever vote for the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Mckinley, protestations
from the people of that State have no
effect upon him.

schooner Olive Pecker began with argu.
ment by counsel upon prayers for in.
structions. the jury of course being re-
moved from the court room. District
Attorney White contended that there
vas no evidence to justify plea OF
self defence and therefore, he said.
manslaughter as an element in the case
was removed, and it was murder pure
and simple. 1t was, he said, the jury's
duty to bring in verdict of gully or
else acquit. There was, he said, no
middle ground. Mr.. Mcintosh, coun-
sci for the prisoner, desired the court in
its instructions to take into considers
ton Anderson's credibility as witness
and in doing this 10 place before the
jury the hypothesis of manslaughter
as well as that of murder. Argument
upon the matter of instructions occu-
pied two hours.

JUDGING from the way things are
now going on in the Pacific ocean, it
would not be at all surprising if the
disregard of General Washington's ad
vice, to avoid entangling alliances with
foreign nations, would involve this
country in serious and most expensive
trouble. The wisest course it could
pursue in respect Of Samoa now, would
be to withdraw at once and let Eng
land, Germany, and the people CT
Samoa settle that matter among them
selves. This country has now more
than it can we'll do to attend to its own
affairs.

The HAWAIIAN now in Wash
ington. alluded to in yesterdays
Gazette, is wise man in his day and
generation. He Says the title of the
people of his country to the territory
thereof is infinitely older and clearer
than that OF Americans to theirs, and
that on theI score of crime and vice,
Hawaii should annex the United States
and thereby improve the manners and
morals of the people of the latter by its
superior religion and civilization. In
deed, why people protesting Christian
ity should favor the scheme to rob the
Hawaiians of their country, is wondrous
strange. Pirates asd ilibusters attempt
such outrages, but they don't profess
Christianity.

ers, the most powerful organization
among the eolored people of the South,
died in Washington yesterday from
blood poisoning, be having refused to
permit the amputation of his arm as the
only chance for his life. The organization
of which he was the head had charitable
and helpful features, and has been
managed by him who originated it.
A savings bank is attached to The or
gauization in Richmond. 1t was the
only bank which, during the panic Of
1898, cashed its own checks without re-
serve. During this time when the city
of Richmond could not draw on its own
bank accounts to pay its expenses
Brown voluntarily advanced the school
board two months pay for the public
school teachers, though that city had
no account with his bank. He was
slave il Georgia until the war. He
then Joined the Union navy and served
as a gunner on the United States gun
beat National, and when mustered out
of service was sergeant major. He
became prominent among his race in
Georgia as Methodist preacher, and
left there because of his prominence in
the movement in Georgia which finally
resulted in destroying the ku-klux

head by that organization. He was
worth S125,0OO Ga his deathbed he
transferred to the Grand Fountain

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 22.-1n a
strongly anti-British article to-day the
Novosti says TN consequence of the
pretenson of England 10 compensate
herself for the Russian occupation OF
Port Arthur by the acquisition of Port
Hamilton or Lazaref, and in view OF
the possibility of the disturbing action
of japan, Europe stands on the brink
of grave diplomatic complications. 1t
is therefore we'll to recall that
the reinforcement of the German
squadron in the Pacific permits Russia,
France and Germany to effectively pre-
vent a disturbance CT the balance of
power between the three powers on
one hand and Great Britain and Japan
on the other, such as might be produc-
ed by violent seizures of territory" In
conclusion the Novosti expresses the
hope that the isolation of Great Britain
in regard to the other European powers
will 'paralvze her action sufficiently to
permit the preservation OF peace from
the dangers threatening it at the pres
ent moment
MADRID, Dec. 22.-General Weyler,
in an interview, is quoted as declaring
that there is no hope of the success of
autonomy, adding that no insurgent
will submit except to the Marquis of
Santa Lucia and another chief, assert
ing that the insurrection would con-
tinue furiously. The general is also
quoted as saying that if the Spanish
government persisted in autonomy
Spain would lose Cuba in few months.
In conclusion General Weyler said he
opposed the dissolution Of the chamber
until the government renounced its
policy of giving Cuba an autonomous
form OF government.

FROM THE way the negro and scala
wag bandittii in Cuba are carrying, on it
is plain to be seen that they will not
have autonomy, and that nothing else
except independence, and ofcourse DOM
inance, and consequently anarchy and
ruin will satisfy them. This is what all
the people who have any material in
terest in the island have known from
the first, and es San Domingo, Haiti
and Jamaica have afforded them object
lessons of the effect of negro dominacy,
they naturally oppose it with all the

GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE.

In recent address delivered in Chi
cago, Dr.. E. Benz amin Andrews, pres-
dent of Brown University, said
General Lee joined the Confederacy
because Virginia asked him to. He
was Virginiap. The call of Virginia
10 all of her sons is the voice of law aud
duty. He had the faith of the crusa-
der; his letters would make a guide to
holiness. He was always soldier,
never impure in thought or act, never
profane or obscene. He did not touch
the cup, as did Grant, Hooker or Phil.
Sheridan, and when he lost fight it
wes never said of him that the defeat
was due to a habit which makes mems
heads into muddles. He was never
outgeneralled by Grant in all the cam
paign from Rappahannock to James
river; never trapped and never caught
tapping. 1t usually happened that
when the men on our side ordered
march at in the morning they never
made more than half the distance be-
tween the two armies. Lee had order
ed an advance at 4;30.
81 fail to find in the books any such
mastery generalship as this hero show
ed, holding that slim, gray line, half
starved, with no prospect of additions,
and fighting when his army was too
hungry to stand, and the rifles were
only useful as clubs. His courage was
sublime. He was as great as Gustavus
Adolphus, or Napoleon, or Wellington,
or Won Moltke. His cause was not the
Lost Cause SO much as is expected. All
that was good in his cause has been
grated into our laws and our Constitu-
ton. The doctrine of States rights, as
now interpreted by the Supreme Court,
is in exact accordance with his claims
on the point Nashville Banner.
