fax county, Virginia, November 10, 1885.
He graduated from West Point in 1856,
and served as second lieutenant in the
Second cavalry regiment in the west
against the Indians, receiving a severe
wound in one of the battles. In 1860 he
was appointed instructor of cavalry at
West Point, in which position he serv-
ed until the beginning of the civil war,
in 1861, when he resigned and entered
the confederate service as first lieuten-
ant of cavalry. He served as adjutant
general of Ewell's brigade until August,
1861, when he was made lieutenant col
onel of the First Virginia cavalry. He
was rapidly promoted until he held the
rank of major general. During the last
months of the war he commanded
cavalry corps. In 1885 he was elected
governor of Virginia, serving term of
four years, after which he retired from
active public life until he was appoint
ed consul general at Havana by Presi-
dent Cleveland. President Mckinley re-
tanned him in that responsible position.

TELLING ON TRADE.
War Outlook is Beginning to Affect
Business East and South.

New York,Ap 16.-Bradstreet's says
today:
The effect of the prevailing uncertain
ty in foreign affairs is reflected in a
further perceptible quieting down of
general trade, so far as future engage
ments are concerned, in nearly all parts
of the country. While there is little
more activity to be noted in the demand
for seasonable staples at the west and
northwest, where better weather has
nelped retail and wholesale trade alike,
rather more quiet is reported at the
east and at the south Atlantic and gulf
ports. where the interruption to business
has become particularly serious owing
to the foreign controversy. The least
notable effects yet experienced are
found in the central west, where diStri-
butive demand and movement is report
ed of seasonable character, the only
changes noted, in fact, being the
strengthening of money rates and the
encouragement of new enterprises, such
as railroad building.
In the iron trade business continues
of large volume, but the bulk of this is
claimed to be on account of orders pre-
viOuSly booked, and new business, where
noted, is for small individual lots. Price
weakness is more marked also than for
some time past. A feature of the week
is reported to be the gradual getting
together of the non-Bessemer pig iron
purchasers, who following the example
set by other branches of that business
are said to have formed a combination
which will include nearly all the manu-
facturers of foundry pig iron between
the Alleghanies and the Rocky noun
tains.
Wool continues dull at nominal prices
at the east and the activity in dry goods
is confined chiefly to goods needed at
once. Cotton goods, prices are steady
except for print cloths, talk of curtail-
ing production in which is continued.
Low price woolens continue In most ac-
tive demand in this branch of trade. A
heavy export demand is reported and
prices are considerably higher. The
price situation is one of comparative
SteadinesS.
Foreign impressions as to the out
come regarding Cuba are reflected in
sharp advances in wheat, wheat flour,
corn, Lard and other food products. De-
clines are to be found in Bessemer pig
iron, steel billets, coffee, sugar and lead,
price of oats, pork, beef, molasses, cop
per, cotton, wool and the manufactured
products of both of those staples are
generally steady and unchanged The

Exports of cereals are larger The
shipments of wheat (four included) this
week from the United States and Can
ada aggregate 4,044, 900 bushels, against

PRESBYTERIANS WAR.
Princeton Inn Incident Causes Re-
volt at the University.

Princeton Inn Incident Causes Re-
volt at the University.
Chicago, April 15.-The Tribune's New
York special says:
War is threatened in the Presbyter-
ian church that will overshadow the ia
nous controversy over DR.. Briggs al
legged heresy.
The present trouble grows out of the
Princeton Inn incident when former
President Grover Cleveland Joined with
Prof. Charles Woodruff Shields, who
holds the chair of harmony and science
in Princeton college and other property
owners of the university town in sign
ing a petition that liquor license be
granted to that hosiery, which is a. IA
vorite resort for students as well as for
members OF the faculty and their
friends.
1t was told that Prof Shields had left
the Presbyterian church and had been
confirmed in the Episcopal faith by
Bishop. Potter. This caused a sensation.
In Princeton, however, it was nothing
to the feeling aroused when it was
learned that President Patton, with
Prof. Duffield and Prof. Cameron of the
college, had refused to go as delegates
to the Presbyterian general assembly.
Many persons predicted that this action
presaged the absolute breaking away of
Princeton university from the denom-
nation. 1t is probable that the college
will be entirely without representation
at the convention.
The ground of the refusal of President
Patton and his two colleagues to serve
as delegates is that they expect the fac
ulty of the college will be censured on
account of the Princeton Inn trouble.
The opinion is expressed that no eXpla-
nation which they might offer would
be accepted by the assembly, as Prof.
Shields action in indorsing the applica-
ton for liquor license has been de-
nounced formally in scathing terms by
Presbyterian bodies in almost every
state in the union. President Patton's
present course is held to indicate that,
since war is to be declared between the
church and college, the college will be-

Fitzhugh Lee is coming north like a
conquering hero. At every station
passed by his train there is great
crowd. General Lee comes out and
makes a speech and is eheered by the
crowd.
That is all right. General Lee has
been in a. perilous position and has per-
formed his duties in a patriotic and arc
CeptabIe manner-aS thousands of other
Americans would have done under sim
liar circumstances.
For acting in this manner the Amer
lean people may elect to give General
Lee further honors, but the gush of the
emotional contingent to the effect that
he should be elected president of the

GAME LAW ENFORCED.
Lyon County Fish Warden Captures
Men Violating the Law.

Emporia, April 16-About ten days
ago Gov. Leedy appointed L. A. Newton
of this city fish and game warden for
Lyon county.
Yesterday he made his first seizure.
He took a trip to a point on the Neosho
river, near Neosho rapids, where he
captured trammel net several hundred
feet long, which had been used by two
men at that place. They had been catch
ing on the average two wagon loads of
fish per week, which they sold in this
city and Usage City.
He proposes to destroy the net ac-
cording to law, by making a public bon
fire on the streets here, in hopes that
it will be a warning to other violators
of the law.

One of the most alarming discoveries
brought out by the approach of war is
that many of our young men are afraid
to fight. This fact coupled with the
statement recently published that GER
tain young men had been detected
painting their faces and penciIing their
eyebrows, points inevitably to the ad-
vent of the petticoat as an article of
mems wear The desperate efforts of
women to be like men and men to be
like women are bearing fruit.
