 Improvement.

NEW YORK, September 9.-Consul- General Fitzhugh Lee. accompanied aby his son, arrived from Havana Yesterday. The general said he had been suffering from biliousness some time past, but felt much better after lis trip. When asked whether he would return to Cuba the General said: q cannot answer that, and would rather not talk on Cuban affairs until I make my report in Washington.
 In speaking of the case Of Miss GIsneros, the General said: "The voung woman is now confined in Casa Recohidas. She has never been tried. and do not think it was eyer Intended she should be banished. Th~ st,r:ts oi her ill-treatment are Very much exaggerated, and were it not for the hubbub which has been raised about her the girl would pro- Sbably have been released long ago. #ln fact 1 was given to understand 2 her name was on tine pardon list. { She has comfortable quarters and is treated as well as possible under the conditions. There is a great deal Of suffering in Cuba, but the Americans, numbering about 400, are being acared for from the fund of $50,000 which was appropriated for that purpose; they receive relief daily. and np to tAe present time about $15, ,000 bad been expended.
 "Is there any sign of business im- provement CT change for the bet ter in Cuba" asked the reporter
 No, am sorry to say there is $not." replied the General, ''and tbere sNill not be any improvement until &he war is ended"
 When will that be-"

Fish hack said there was great deal of suffering all over Cuba, and that the e 1nditioa of the people was even worse than when the latter was in- Nestigating the Ruiz case. He saw Miss Cisneros at Casa Reconhidas and said the reports regarding her Treatment were grossly exaggerated, and that the young woman was fairly well treated and did not com splain when he was speaking to her.

SHELBY "PROMOTEC"
BUT HIS PROMOTION WAS IN
 THE WRONG DIRECTION.
He Declined to Resisn as Special Indian Agent, Then the Score. tary of Interior Assigned
 Him to a Professorship.

Col NJ. D. Shelby, ex-sheriff of Con- way county, was in the city yester- day. He has been serving the United States government for the past four years as special Indian agent, at q salary of $2,000 per annum, and nas given "Uncle sam" faithful and eff cient service.
 When Indian agents were put underc civil service Col, Shelby s friends friends thought he would on under the new administration He thought f so, too, but has changed his mind recently. It leaked out yesterday that some weeks ago Col. Shelby re- ceived communication from the Honorable Secretary of the Interior requesting his resignation. He re- solved to put the matter to a test and force the department to break over the civil service barrier and dis charge him, Therefore he wrote q
 polite letter to the Secretary, respect fully declining to tender his resigna- tion. Nothing further was heard from the department until a few days ago when Col. Shelby received an official communication from
 Washington informing him that he had been promoted" to professor ship in an Indian school in Dakota. on looking up the salary attached to his prOfessorship he found thatit was $500 year, about enough to keep a gOod-sized family in coal and stove
 wood for the winter. On receipt of this communication Col. Shelby threw up his hands in disgust, and a day or so later packed his trunks and returned to Arkansas. He is now at Morrilton among his friends, and will of course decline the honor Of presiding over all Indian school in the bleak, frozen regions of North Dakota. The Secretary Of the Inte- rior will be surprised no douot when
 he receives a communication from Col. Shelby to that effect. He will
 wonder why it is that some men are incapable of appreciating a good thing, and will console himself with the thought that he has enforced civil service to the letter.-Arkan- sas Democrat.

Maj. r. Taylor Scott Dead.

Maj. r. Taylor Scott, Attorney-G en-
eral of Virginia, died at bis home in
Warrenton. Fauquser county, on
Thursday evening last, of typhoid
fever He was serving his second term,
as attorney general and was candi-
date for re election with large and
faithful constituency behind him. He
had proven SO honest, SO conscientious
and SO careful in all matters pertaining
to this exalted and exacting Office that
even the friends of other candidates
acknowledged the reasonableness OF
his candidacy and felt the strength of
his claims. He had been thought to
be fast improving and at one time was
announced out of danger, but he was
advanced in years and by long work,
his vitality had become impaired and
his physical condition was unequal to
the malignity of such disease. He was
aConfederate soldier of quiet butsturdy
bravery and did his duty in the field
with the same conscientious motives
which characterized every act Of his
well spent life.

Democratic Convention.

The State Democratic convention
met yesterday in Roanoke with large
number of delegates present. The
usual committees were appointed and
the body got down to work in a bust
ness like way. The nomination of
Hon. ]. Hoge Tyler being matter of
course. he will be placed in nomination
by Mr.. Glass of Lynchburg, and the
nomination will be seconded by gen.
tlemen from other portions of the
State. This will take place Immediate
ly after the committees have reported,
and whilst they are framing their re.
ports the friends of the various candi-
dates for Attorney General will get in
their work. On the nomination of
Major Tyler being gone through with.
provided it is not done at late hour,
the nomination of Lieut.. Governor
will be made. The outlook is very
favorable to Mr.. Echols An adjourn
ment will then be taken. The tug of
war will take place today over the po-
sition for Attorney General, and the
chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee. For the latter position Sena-
tor Tom Martin will make fight. Mr..
Ellyson is now the chairman and desir-
es to retain the position.

Assassinated.

Senior Canovas del Castillo, the
Prime Minister of Spain, was assassi
mated at O'Clock Sunday afternoon at
Santa Agueda, by an Anarchist. The
murderer fired three shots, one of
which struck the Premier in the FORE
head and another in the chest. The
wounded man fell dying at the feet of
his wife. who was with him. He lin
gered in agony for two hours and then
passing away with the cry of s'Viva
Hispania!'' (Long live Spain), which
were the last words upon his lips
Senior Canovas was SPANS Prime
Minister, and as SPANS King is child
eleven years old, and as the nominal
head is a Queen Regent, who possesses
the frailties of her sex, Canovas was
the real head of the government. 1t
was he who guided and directed the
wars in Cuba and the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, which have well nigh bankrupt
ed Spain. and which, now that Cano-
vas is dead, are likely to prove too
much for his successor. It is always
sad to hear of cold blooded assassina-
ton. The people who do these deeds
are usually on the verge, if not in the
midst of insanity, bnt in most cases
the perpetrator loses his own life and
Kills the cause he espouses. The An
archist who committed this deed said
that he was only carrying out the
plane Of his organization, which is
death to all monarchs. It is sad state
of affairs, but it will occur as long as
insane men can go where they wist,
and as long as there are rulers to slay.

eft that there is every reason to be
lieve wheat will still further advance.
1t has been steadily climbing, and
whilst it may receive a backset for one
or two days there can be no serious
decline. To help the situation, since
our last issue, RUSSIA has issued an
order prohibiting the expectation of
wheat on account of her short crop.
Those who are obliged to sell have
done well to hold SO long, those who do
not have to sell will, we think, do
better.

Lieutenant Governor.

The death of Maj. r. Taylor Scott
will possibly have considerable infu-
ence in the selection of our next can
didate for Lieut.. Governor. AS there
will be an effort to chose the Lieuten-
ant Governor from that portion of the
State which will least interfere with
the chances of most of the candidates
for Attorney General. it looks as if
there might be combination amongst
them for this purpose. Logically then
the Lieutenant Governor would come
from the Valley. This stronghold OF
Democracy is a very important factor
in the approaching campaign. A pop
ular candidate from this section would
add much weight to the ticket. From
the present outlook the party can
make no mistake in the nomination for
Attorney General, as every man in the
race measures up the high standard
which our people demand, and ii q
mistake is made at all it will be in the
nomination for Lieut.. Governor 1t
would be very disappointing and dis
astrous to make such. An unpopular
or i'll advised nomination for that posi-
ton would throw wet blanket on the
enthusiasm which now pervades the
party, and cause many to sulk in their
tents. We therefore urge upon the
convention the Importance of nomi
mating the man who will give most
strength to the cause, and who will
bring with him energy and influence.
The Valley of Virginia and
county OF Augusta present such man
in the Hon. Edward Echols. 1t has
been said that he was not an original
silver man. This may be. He has
been some time in public life, the peo-
pie of this county have for years en-
trusted him with an important office,
and we have no evidence tending to
show that when he first entered poll
tics he became enamored with the sill
yer idea. But this can be said of us
all, we ourselves were not born with
uAO POAAuASebA ohfOA oPOOA III Jul
mouths. Most of the thousands in this
Valley who swell the Democratic ranks
hoed corn long before they followed
for silver. but when the issue came
upon them, when it grew large enough
to be studied and acted upon. they,
like Mr.. Echols, gave it their best
thought, and whether they became
converts to the theory one day, or one
year, or ten years before the day of
election, they claim equal credit with
those who profess to be the pioneers of
the silver idea, whether they wrought
in the vineyard from the first or from
the tenth hour.
Should the Democratic convention
undertake to place invidious distinc-
lions upon the record of members of
that party, by holding to the person
who claims to have been the original
and only silver man from his youth
up, and despising the man who. when
| the issue came to be a practical one,
decided favorably upon the questions
it raised, and adopted it as his future
political course, then it will have been
guilty of the most gigantic political
folly which ever belittled party. We
have heard such threats, but we be-
lieve the good sense which to this time
has characterized the party will not
desert it in it's hour of travail, and that
the issue will be one in every way cred
liable to the party and the cause.

A Bit Of His.orz.

In 1892 the Republicans of the fourth
Congressional Districtof Virginia, the
one in which the accused resides, held
a meeting at Farmville and here are
the resolutions they passed:
WHEREAS, 1t is apparent to the Re
publicans of the 4th Congressional Dis
trict of Virginia, that the Collector of
Internal Revenue for the 2nd District
of Virginia. in the person of Col. Jam, )
d. Brady. is in sympathy and CO opera
ton with the leaders and managers of
the Democratic party of this State in
keeping the State in the control of the
Democratic party, and in wrestling by
unfair, unlawful and fraudulent means
Republican districts from the control
of the party in this State; therefore,
resolved, that this gathering OF Repub
lican delegates elected, and coming
fresh from the people, in convention
assembled, feel constrained to voice
the following sentiments:

have proved that the entire energy of
this man has been devoted to efforts to
disrupt our organization for his. own
selfish purposes and to advance himself
and his political family in Federal
and emoluments only.
Resotced End: That we condemn and
denounce his action in taxing and as
sessing the employees under him, who
are lily prepared to spare it, large sums
of money from the support Of their
families for the purpose of aiding him
in keeping up factional fight in the
party, when, as the collectio n Of dele
