TRIBCTE TO LAFAYETTE.
President Mckinley Approves the
Proposed Contributions by Schools.


Proposed Contributions by Schools.
Mr.. A. H. Revell, vice president of the
Lafayette memorial commission, recently
wrote to President Mckinley in regard to
the plan of erecting a monument to La
fayette in Paris. The President replied as
follows:
Your letter written in behalf Of the La
fayette memorial commission has greatly
interested me, and 1 have read with much
satisfaction the plans already outlined for
the proposed monument to the memory
of a great soldier and patriot.
THE undertaking is one In which I am
sure it will be considered a privilege to
participate and the idea that the stu
dents in the schools, colleges and univer-
sites shall take a prominent part in this
tribute will not only be of vast educational
value as to one of the most fmportant
cpochs in history, but will keep prominent
ly before them the inspiration of a high
Ideal, OF devotion to great principles and
OF the pubic recognition paid to lofty pur-
poses.
General Lafayette was but young man
when he espoused the cause of liberty and
independence, overcoming well nigh insur-
mountable obstacles to do so. 1t is alto
gether fitting. therefore, that the youth
of America should have a part in this tes-
tlmon1al to his goodness and greatness
Il am glad 20 note that your committee
has fixed date when our people, in every
part OF the country, may testify their in
terest in this proposed monument and
their determination that the movement al
ready begun shall achieve the greatest
success"

RESOURCES Of BRAZIL.
Their Development by an American
Syndicate Proposed.

Consul General Seeger at Rio de Janeiro
has made report to the State Department
on the resources of Brazil, in which he
makes a strong Endorsement of the propo-
slton of organizing an American syndicate
for business operations in Brazil. While
the pcesent financial and commercial dc
preston is unfa vorable to new Industrial
ventures and to rapid increase in the sale
of American merchandise in Brazil, he
says 1t offers, on the other hand. excellent
opportunities for the investment of capital
in industrial enterprises already estab-
Eshed. on terms much more favorable than
could be obtained when the country is once
more placed or a solid financial basis
European capitalists, especially British,
are for these reasons making investments
there.
American capitalists" says the consul
general. ought to combine to send finan-
cial and technical experts to this country
men OF experience and mature judgment,
who speak the French and Portuguese
ianguases-and let them look around in
Rio, in Minas Geraes, in Parana, In Santa
Catharina and Rio Grande do Sui.
There is no. lack of opportunity for
good investments. This is also a good time
for the PREF aratory work that may lead to
permanent commercial relations at the tina
of a general trade revival, which is sure to
come sooner or later.
"A great deal Of harm has been done

export associations to quit sending circu-
lars here (Which are never read and to es-
tablish a monthly or weekly American

ASK MILLER'S PROMOTION
Colonies Of Regiments in His Command

Sons of the American Revolution
Urge an Investigation of Death
Rate in Camps.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, September %
An effort is being made to have Brigadier
General Miller, who has been ordered to
command the next expedition to the Philip
pines, made a major general of volunteers.
The officers of the Kansas, Tennessee and
Iowa regiments will today send kilograms
to the congressman in their respective
states, urging them to ask President Nc
Kinley to promote General Miller.
The going of General Miller leaves the
Preside without a commandant, and it is
very likely that general officer will be
sent out here from the east to take that
place. The appointment of another general
officer will be requested of the War De-
partment to go with General Miller, and
there is possibility that the colonel of one
of the four regiments comprising the expe-
dition may get the coveted star. General
Miller has expressed the desire that Colonel
Funston of the both Kansas be promoted
in case the new general is commissioned
from the troops here.
California Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution has adopted reSolu-
tions deploring the death rate in the mill
tary camps in this city, and calling upon
President Mckinley to urge an fnvestiga-
ton. A demand is made for the immediate
erection of barracks and hospitals on the
grounds of the Preside military reserva-
ton. SO that the sick now here and those
on the way from Manila may receive the
attention they need.
All goes well with the Red Cross in
Manila The first explicit official report
came by the China to Mrs Harrington, the
state president. o. H. ]. Schlott, who states
that his standing as financial agent and
general representative of the Red Cross
has been officially recognized by General
Merritt, who has assigned for this work
one of the largest and best equipped houses
in Manila He says that General Merritt
ordered that all Red Cross supplies at Ca
wife and other places be taken to that

we were told that we would have to disem-

All this time cur little Creole was not idle,
she just flew. Everything that was loose
was thrown into the furnace to make steam,
and we beat that Spanish man-of-war-the
Pizarro-into the port Of Key West and
under the flag of the United States by about
five minutes. When we got safely into port
we found about dozen United States cutters
there waiting for and expecting u.s. Those
little cutters Just flew around, and one of
them ran right between the Creole and the
PiZarro, which had rumsus into port without
firing gun, and had turned her broadside
toward us and openedt port-holes ready to
fire. That little cutterrd dared her to fire by
hosting flag, but the Spaniard did not fire,
and we were allowed TO land, although we

Soon as we were allowed to land, which
was some little time alters arriving in port,
we gathered our little baggage, among
which, in my case, was sbar of soap and
some rice, and were ordered to the Govern
ment barracks, which at that time was
empty, and not far away from the landing.
The soldiers who had occupied the barracks
were then over in Florida; had been sent
over there to quiet the Seminole Indians,
who had been threatening, and, ] think, had
committed some depredations on the whites
in and about the Everglades. The Govern

to occupy the building until some arrange
