Protection Sentiment In tn. soutb.

The protection sentiment is no longer
looked upon in the south as treason to
Democratic principles. Governor Cul-
berson of Texas, who is a candidate for
the United States senate, in recent
statement, intended as reply to Sen.
ator Mills assertions on this subject,
says that the advocacy of duties ON i'm
ports of raw materials has not always
been considered un-Democ,atic. On the
contrary, he shows that the tariff of
1916, known as the Walker tariff, and
considered a safe Democratic tariff
standard, placed duties on most of the
raw materials The state of Texas, it
now appears, will be represented in the
senate by a man having broad views ON
the protective question, and thus add to
the 30 or 40 votes from the south cast
for protection in the recent legislation
on that ubject.-Oswego Times.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
State Claims for War Expenses-To-
baccO Taxes-PersOnaI.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-(Spe-
cial)-Settlement OF claims Of States for
expenses incurred during the current year
is going ahead as rapidly as possible, but
it will be a year or two at least before
the work is completed. Much of the de-
lay is caused by improperly prepared
vouchers, but in addition 10 this the audit
ing and verifcation Of accounts consumes
much time.
Virginias claim, amounting to about
5000 has been settled but IL Is expected
that others will be forwarded later by
the State authorities in addition to indi-
vidual claims.
North Carolina asks for nearly $4,000.
Of which about $500 has been paid. One
individual claim from that State was
found to be also represented by a re-
ceipt, forwarded by the North Carolina
authorities as a voucher for money al
ready paid.
TOBACCO-TAX RULING.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has ruled that subdivisions containing
not more than three-fourths of an ounce
of tobacco each, and otherwise conforming
to the regulations will be authorized when
the same are repacked in a statutory
package. The outside package containing
subdivisions must be properly labelled
and stamped and the stamp cancelled be-
fore the same is removed from the fac
tory. These packages cannot be broken
at the factory @or The purpose of dis
tributing the subdivisions through the
mails or otherwise"
OLEOMARGARINE
He also decides that "the internal reve-
nue. law does not contemplate the ped
ding of oleomargarine: persons selling
oleomargerine In the manner OF peddlers
involve themselves in liability as retail
dealers Of oleomargarine at each and
every place where they make such sales"

LEWIS MORRISON IN FAUST"
Fine Audiences Enjoy the Production

Richmond play-goers seem TO never tire
Of seeing Lewis Morrison play Faust"
and though the weather yesterday was
not altogether agreeable. yet large audi
ences greeted him and his company at
both the matinee and evening perform
ance.
Mr. Morrison as Mephisto has made the
evil one, in the shape he is supposed to
be seen by mortals, quite a familiar
figure, and the theatre-going public has
become so we'll acquainted with HIS sa-
tanic majesty that they feel quite at home
in his presence. The actor yesterday inn
rersonated Mephsto in his usual manner,
and of course brought with him that at
mosphere OF birthstone suggestive Of his
vast domain below. Mr.. Morrisons sup
porting company was fairly good. Faust
was acceptably rendered by Mr.. Paul
Gerson, though he was not as good as
others who have been seen In the role.
Miss Mabel Morrison portrayed the gen.
tie loving Marguerite In a creditable man
ner, and gave TO her Characterization
much Of that sweet simplicity and gentle
ness that make the part of the con1ding
peasant girl one of the most beautiful on
the stage. Martha, the village gossip.
In the hands OF Mrs. Selby Tabled, was
the same laxative dame we all know
The stage settings were beautiful, and
the brocken scene provoked considerable
enthusiasm. After that act Mr.. Morrl-
son was forced to respond 10 a curtain
CALL and made a neat little speech, in
which he babe farewell to Richmond. as
"the DEVIL" but expressed the hope OF
meeting his friends here again next sea-
son, when he would appear in a new role.

CEN. MILES REPORT
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE)

American character and the honor Of
their arms"
General Miles closes his report with
some earnest recommendations for the
improvement of the military service. He
trusts the experience Of the last few
months will be valuable TO the people and
10 the government.
COAST DEFENCES.
The value of coast defences, he says.
has been proved, and the system should
be completed without delay.
ARMY INCREASE.
He favors the adoption of standard Of
strength for the army to meet the coun-
try's growth. and suggests that II be one
soldier for each 1000 population. yielding
a force Of 62,579. While this force is al
ready provided for, unfortunately the
authorizing act requires the army to be
reduced TO its former inadequate basis
on the termination of the war.
NATIVE AUXILIARIES
General Miles, in conclusion, recon-
mends the authorization of an auxiliary
force OF native troops in Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippine Islands, to be
differed by United States army officers
and not exceeding two soldiers for 1000
population of the islands; and all of these
increases, he urges. should be made at
once, as they are Of vital Importance.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave-, Philadelphia,
Pa, Is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see-
ing any improvement At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, / felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. ! can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. ! was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although
had everything TO live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, l thought I would lose my
mind. No one knows what l endured.
Il continued this way until the last
OF February, when l saw in paper a
testimonial Of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose.
continued taking it, and to-day am
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.

saundron-Man Sentenced to Hang

NORFOLK, VA, November lO.-(Spe-
cial)-Naval n4n disagree as to the PROB
ability of the vessel reported ashore OH
Cats Island being the Teresa. The Nui-
cans officers are disposed TO doubt. Inc
Teresa, they say. has. according to the
description cabed from Nassau. lost her
deck-bouse. received a coat OF black paint
and an extra mast since they lett her
plunging and rolling in the terrible gale
in which she was abandoned.
Captain LeCato, of the Merritt Wreck
ing Company, who was one Of the last to
leave the Teresa says the only chance
that the stranded vessel may be the Span
lard is that the cabled description Is IN
accurate.
Naval officers and officials of the wreck
ing concern say the deck-house could
easily have been washed away, but how
the Teresa sprouted a mast and got paint
ed is past finding out, they say. sun they
all entertain lively hopes that the vessel
may be recovered.
The Merritt organization will not dis
patch their steamer Merritt now In this
harhor. until they are advised by Lieuten-
ant Hobson. from Nassau, that the Cats
Island derelict is really the Teresa.
NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
The North Atlantic squadron will be re-
assembled in Hampton Roads as rapidly
as possible. The first Of the vessels COM
posing It to arrive the armored cruiser
New York. flagship of Commodore Philip,
cast anchor off Ola Point Comfort at noon
to-day.
The reconstructed cruiser Chicago, one
or more torpedo boat-destroyers, the
Montgomery, Nashville, and two other
light unarmored cruisers will join the
squadron in a few days. and the frst-rate
battleships will rejoin the flagship as fast
as their repairs can be completed.
II is thought that the reassembling OF
the home squadron at this time, when the
peace negotiations are In their present
critical shape. is not without significance.
Admiral Schley, aboard the flagship New
York, is expected In the roads shortly.
TO BE HANGED.
After having twice escaped from the
hands of lynchers, who were abont 10

and swing him to the nearest tree, Arthur
Levitt, a negro lad still in his teens, has
been convicted OF murder I'm the first de-
gree. He shot and killed Constable Beas-
lev of Princess Anne, while the after
was attempting TO arrest him. Indignant
citizens tried to lynch him when lie was
first captured, and after the jury disa-
greed al the first trial the attempt was
repeated. He has been confined in Jail
here to protect from him violence. The
Jury returned a verdict to-day in fifteen
minutes, and Levitt was sentenced 20 be
hanged December 10th.
