VIRGINIA TROOPS IN FLoRID.

A dispatch from Jacksonville says
Considerable comment was created
Tuesday by the rumor that the Third
Virginia had been ordered from Camp
Alger to Washington. 1t was thought
to mean certainly that it would be pu.
in the Second Brigade. General Lee.
whom l saw at his headquarters at the
Windsor, hardly credited the report,
but it was persistent and widespread.
1t was finally learned to be withou,
foundation, and the VirRinians were
greatly disappointed. General Lee
visited Camp Cuba Libre yesterday,
and his appearance in the uniform OF al
msjor-general, seated on his magnificent
gray and accompanied by several of
his staff, was the signal for wild cheer
ing. When he entered the section Of
the camp where the Fourth was local.
ed the demonstration was so enthusi.
astic, and the men crowded about him
SO closely that he had to pause and adj
dress them. He told them he wanted
them to rest up, dress up and drill up,
and then he would take them to Cuba.
I asked General Lee if it was true, as
generally reported throughout camp
that his family would soon come here
to be with him. He said he though
not; everything was too uncertain.
found him hard at work with his secre-
tsry in his private room at the Vino

inquired about various Richmond PEG

will probably be gratifying to his fam

the familiar goatee, which he had SHAY

A House bill making certain grants

for educational purposes was passed.
Mr.. Gsllinger reported from the COM
mittee on commerce a bill providing
American registry for tho steamers
OLYMPIA, Victoria, Tacoma, Columbia,
Arizona and Argyll, of the Northern Pa
cifc steamship company. He express
ed the hope that the bill would be pass-
cd at once as the ships were needed by
the government to transport troops to
Manila. The vessels are all flying at
present the British flag.
Mr.. Gallinger said that the War De-
partment had found il difficult to OBJ.
tain transport ships on the Pacific coast.
One of the vessels secured, the Cen
tennial, had been found unseaworthy
and it was the purpose OF the commit
lee on commerce to take steps to secure
the repeal of the act providing Ameri-
can registry for the Centennial.
This statement gave rise to discus.
sion that developed some sensational
disclosures.
Mr.. Perkins sercastically inquired OF
Mr.. Gallingeg whether he supposed
the vessels which he proposed to pro.
vide with American registry were any
better than the Centennial had proved
to be.
Mr.. Gallnger replied that the YES
sells were satisfactory to the War De-
partment. Further than that he could
not say.
The measure offered by Mr.. CALM
ger was then passed without division.
MIR. Lodge precipitated lively dis
cussion by offering the following reso-
luton: THAT the committee OF claims
be directed to inquire and report to
whom the money was paid under the
claim of the Methodist Book Concern,

stances connected with the passage of
the bill providing for the payment of
said claim and with the subsequent
payment of the money under said act

AS to Sugar Protection.

1t begins to be the opinion of the
American people that we need protec-
tion, indeed, in connection with sugar,
Tut it is protection from the Sugar
trust. The. Review of Reviews has to
say OF this subject:
The great sugar refining interest naturally
desires n low tariff on raw sugar, with a gooG
deal Of protection on the refined article. ThiL
would enrich the Sugar trust, which controls
prices throughout America, but 1t would no..
aid in the rapid development Of sugar beet
growing in the United States, nor would 1t re
store the prosperity Of the cane growing and
sugar making industries Of Louisiana and our
southern coast. A tariff on sugar that would
discriminate only to a small extent In favor of
refined sugar would DO, In the opinion of the
farmers, amply sufficient to keep the American
refining industry alive, while protecting the
public against arbitrary increase of the mo-
nopoly prices fixed by the trust. 80 great IL
the production Of sugar in Europe and SO keen
is the European desire to supply a large part
Of tho American market that the domination
Of the trust can always be met by o tariff &c
adjusted as to allow foreign competition to &C.
as a wholesome price regulator.
1t cannot be a right thing in public ethics,
nor ought it to be possible under the law, for
q corporation to contribute to the campaign
funds Of any political party. 1t Is worse rath.
or than better for a great corporation to con
tribute at the same time to the funds of oppos.
ing parties. Such conduct would seem 10 in
dictate a purpos" to poison all political and
public life at the very sources. When great
corporations like The Sugar trust stand ready
to pour out vast sums Of money for purposes
Of political influence, n premium il at once
plnced upon the control of politics and legisla-
ton by bosses and machines. The existence OF
these secret funds supplied by corporations
that can afford TO pay fabulous amounts TO,
favorable Legislation causes great uneasines,
among honest men. Hardly another situation
40 fraught with danger las arisen since the
foundation Of the republic.

The Juke.

Poor little Consuelo Vanderbilt is
uncommonly fond of alluding to her
young husband as "the duke" She told
a newspape man that she did not put
her name to a subscription for an Amer
lean Memorial day bed in a London
hospital because 1.-THE duke" did not
think 1t expedient that her name should
appear IN a printed circular.
That is to say, the enterprise was an
American one, inaugurated by Ameri-
can citizens. Their names, not those Of
the British royalty and nobility, filled
the list of the subscribers. The object
Of the movement was to establish per
manently in one Of the hospitals a bed
which might be occupied at any time
by an afflicted and needy American in
London. But ''the duke did not think
II would do to have his wife's nam
down in a list Of plain Americans, SO
he said Consuelo mustn't.
To poor little Consuelo this green.
white headed British boy her mother
bought for her represents the climax of
wisdom and the ultima thule of. all
that is good and great. She rolls
mp her eyes toward him with an ex-
preston Of admiration not unmingled
with awe. She never for one mo-
ment remembers that only for the
money her grandfather, the Staten Is
land ferryman, bequeathed to his chill
dren "the duke" would never have
looked her way once. But after getting
the little girl and her money ''the
duke" is not man enough to let her put
her name down in a list with those Of
other Americans. We were aware MARI
borough was a raw, inexperienced lad
who did not know very much, but this
last act writes him down as the feeblest
sort Of a snob. American millionaires
ought to be proud to buy noblemen for
their daughters.
