MAJOR TUCKER HERE.
Explains His Failure to Resent an
Insult.

ExpInins His Failure to Resent an
Insult.
Major and Paymaster w. f. Tucker,
Department of the Gulf. with headquar-
ters at Atlanta, Ga, reached Washing
ton and registered at the War Depart
ment today. He is stopping at the home
of his relative, Mrs John A. Logan. This
is the officer who is alleged to have been
slapped in the face, while in uniform,
by a hotel proprietor at Atlanta. and as
the report goes, failed to resent the insult
then and there.
1t is further stated that some OF Ma
ior fuckers fellow-officers in Atlanta
have requested his recall from that sta
ton owing to his failure to promptly re-
sent the insult The major is presuma-
bly here in connection with this scandal,
and it was stated today that he will not
go back to the Southern city, but be as
signed to duty elsewhere.
Major Tucker denies that the proprietor
of the Hotel Majestic slapped his face,
but admits that he struck at him across
the hotel counter. He gives as reason
for not resenting the insult that ladies
were present and he considers that 1t
would have been more disgraceful to
have engaged in a fracas in their pres
ence than to avoid personal encounter.
The army register shows that Major
Tucker is on leave.

THE ELBE-RHINE CANAL.
Report of the United States Consul
Mt ChemnitX.


The State Department has received from
United States Consul Monaghan. of Chem
nitz. an important report on the new ship
canal in Germany, which is especially in
teresting at this time. The consul says:
AT time when so many people are
talking about the Importance of building
a canal through some part of Central
America TO connect the Atlantic with the
Pacific. it may be interesting TO know that
the Germans attach great Importance 10
canals and waterways as factors in indus
trial development Their latest effort Is to
cut through the territory between the
Elbe and Rhine. uniting those two rivers
and permitting not only of the direct
passage of ships from one 10 the other
without unloading, but allowing the Rhine
boats to carry cargoes gathered in the
harbors of the North Sea to places far in
land. This will save freight and cost of
ralOading"

The Grand Camp of Confederate
Veterans is now in session at Gull
pepper and the report OF the commit
tee on history for the most part is
engaging the attention of that body.
The report condemns a number OF
books that are supposed to be mimi
cal to the South and that feature
ought to go very far to commend 1t
to every member Of the Camp. OBJ
jections, however, are being made to
it for this or some other reasons and
spicy discussions have already taken
place between those favoring North
ern and Southern publications. That
there should be division of
sentiment among them in this
respect, seems strange. Every
Southern man ought to want
his children to know the true story
of the war between the States and
the causes which led to it; and the
inference is natural that it is more
likely to be found in histories pre-
pared by Southern authors than it
could be elsewhere. That a Northern
publication should be preferred by a
Southern man suggests the idea that
he mi ht be the paid agent of North
ern publishers, and charges to that
effect, in fact, have been made since
the Camp was convened. We wan
histories that tell us of the Los
Cause and the men who made it glo.
rious from a Southern standpoint
and hope it will be the pleasure Of
the Camp, and believe it to be their
duty, to suggest none other, what
ever their literary merit, for use in
our schools.

Protests Against a Successor to Miss
Winnie Davis.

Richmond, Va, October Lee
Camp met last night, and by rising
vote adopted the following resolu-
ton, offered by Major N V. Randolph,
in which is voiced the only sentiment
thai has thus far been heard here in
regard to the appointment OF sue
cessor to Miss W innie Davis. The
resolution reads:
Lee Camp learns with regret
through the daily press that an effort
is being made to perpetuate the title
of the Daughter of the Confeder-
acy." In our judgment, at the death
of Winnie Davis this title ceased to
exist. We had but one President of
the Confederacy, and he but one
daughter torn in the White House.
We believe that this is not an office
that should be filled again, and we
trust that this matter shall be care
fully considered by all of the Confed,
crate camps in the South and North,
and that we shall give our emphatic
disapproval of the proposition to per
petuate the office. We do not intend
to reflect on the name of any South
ern woman, whether she be the
daughter of a general or not. We
hope the Daughters OF the Confed-
eracy will take this matter up as one
of vital interest to them, as their Or
sanization took it's name from Miss
Winnie Davis"
1t is understood that a similar res
olution to the above will be offered
before the Grand Camp of the State,
which meets at Culpeper October 4
The State organization of The Daugh-
tiers OF the Confederacy will meet in
annual session in Petersburg October
10, and the question of Miss Winnie
Davis successor will most certainly
come up before that body also.

Virginia, according to the latest
advices, will have solid democratic
delegation in the Fifty-sixth Con-
gress. In eight of the districts there
is not the slightest doubt of the re-
election of all of the democratic can
didates. In the other two, the Ninth
and Tenth, on the authority of
Speaker Ryan, while the contests will
be close, the defeat of the republican
candidates, Walker, in the former,
and Hubbard, in the latter, is as
sured. The news of course is crafty
ing to all democrats, and doubly SO
as to General James A. Walker. The
defeat of man, who has SO persist
emily villifed and DETAINED Virginia
as he has, ought to be received with
Joy by every Virginian, whatever his
political affiliations.

Miss Lucy Lee Hill Says No.

Miss Lucy Lee Hill, to whom was
rendered the honor of perpetuatine
the title of the Daughter of the Con
federacy by the Chicago Veterans. is
herself opposed to it, and in letter
she saws: ut is an honor unsought
by me, and, with General Gordon,
say the title should die with the orig
inal possessor, Winnie Davis. There
cannot always be Daughter of the
Confederacy,' for / am the last one OF
generals daughters to be born at
that time, and with me it would end.
Then, why not now? No greater
honor could be paid President Jeffer-
son Davis daughter than to bury
with her the title she wore 80 proud
ly. am content as | am, Confed

For Congress

The action taken by the potato
growers and buyers, in the meeting
held at Onley last Saturday, seems to
us to be step in the right direction.
1t is the beginning, we hope, of a
movement which will lead to the sale
of our potatoes at home, and no time
certainly could be more suspicious
for such an experiment than at pres
ent. The farmers, now that the crop
is being shipped without profit, lose
nothing in holding it, and the buyers
will have the opportunity, if they
will do it, to demonstrate to them
whether or not it is in their power to
be of advantage to them. If by hold
ing them demand is created and
there is rise in the market they cel-
tainly will be benefited; if there
should not be any at the present
price of potatoes they don't lose any
thing. If by cutting off the supply a
demand is created then the problem
is solved in great measure, what to
do with our potatoes. 1t will then
have been demonstrated that there is
nothing to do but hold them when it
don't pay to sell them, and en-.
courage buyers to bid for them
And if the buyers at home do it.ther
bidders will come to us from abroad
and the competition will be here
which will mean that our potatoes
will be up to the highest bidders in
stead of to the lowest as heretofore.
We need in other words a home
market if we would reap the bene-
fits of our staple product in
stead OF giving it TO others
The proposition of our home buy
ers is a liberal one, and by all means
should be encouraged. The farmers
in our opinion, could not suffer by
placing themselves in their hands al
this time. We hope they will be able
to give the fifty cents per barrel al
this time, which they hope to do,ane
effect the permanent organization
which they propose for our protec'
ton in the future.

President Mckinley has had sc
much TO say of late, about the era o.
good feeling which the war between
this country and Spain had pro
duced, it would seem that sectional
ism was not only dead, but that q
democrat could get justice from re-
publican administration. But that
it makes difference, when favors are
expected, whether you are demo-
craft or a republican, is indicated by
the following from the Washington
Times:
AS matter of common informa-
ton, the present government of the
country considers itself an admins
tration, and calls itself an admins
tration, and yet is not above doing
things that nobody could call decent
or square. For example, here is
Theodore Roosevelt, colonel Of
Rough Riders, let out of the army
like winking, in order that he may
indulge himself in all the pleasant
designations of the political campaign
in New York. Then, on the other
hand, there is William Jennings
Bryan, colonel of Rough Walkers!
He is bottled up in the service and
not turned loose at all to wallow in
the delights Of the Nebraska cam
paign. 1t simply is shameful.
