What Abraham Lincoln Wrote.

Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov.
Fl, 1864-Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Mass:
Dear Madam have been shown in the
files of the war department state
ment of the adjutant general of Massa-
chusetts that you are the mother Of five
sons who have died gloriously on the
field of battle. / feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words Of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from your grief Of loss so overwhelm-
ing. But l cannot refrain from tender
ing to you the consolation that may be
found in the thanks of the republic they
died to save. pray that our heaven
ly Father may assuage the anguish Of
your bereavement, and leave you only
the cherished memory Of the loved and
lost, and the solemn pride that must
be yours to have laid so costly sac
rifice upon the altar Of freedom. Yours
very sincerely and respectfully,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

American Fruit.

The action of the German govern
ment in shutting olt American fruit
from their markets comes as a rather
unpleasant surprise to the American
fruit growers, who had hoped, from a
foreign demand, to realize better prices
for their products. The reason for this
action is not clearly understood, but is.
according to all accounts, one that Is
not chargeable to the quality of the
fruit or its condition. The loss will be
keenly felt by the poorer Germans, as
American fruit, especially apples, had
been since their introduction steadily
growing in favor. The United States
as a fruit growing country has scarcely
an equal in the world. Its wide range
of climate. its variation in soil, and the
skill with which its fruit-growers han
die their orchards and gardens, makes
II of immense value in a commercial
sense. If Germany does not want our
fruits, there are plenty Of other coun-
tries that do, and it is scarcely worth
while for our farmers and fruit-growers
to borrow very much trouble about
markets.

Death Rate In Battle.

OF the fifteen decisive battles Of the
world the average death rate in the
last five of them (of which alone re-
liable statistics are preserved) was
about rs per cent, ranging from 20 per
cent, the British loss at Saratoga, to AZ
per cent, the loss of the Swedes at Pull
iowa. OF other great battles it is diff
cult to fix the average death rate.
though 1t may be estimated at about 20
per cent. The rates range from 90
(the German loss at Sedan in Septem-
Der, 1901 to 30 per cent, the British
loss at Bloody Albuera. AS a matter
Of fact, things stand very much as they
used to do, save that the slaughter,
when it does occur, always comes more
quickly. A great battle in which the
quick-firing guns can be brought into
effective use will probably increase the
death rate largely, but that remains
to be proved. General statistics prove
that since the Trojan war, 5000 years
ago, not single year has elapsed in
which some war has not caused the
killing Of large number of men;
while 1t Is calculated that all the
worlds wars are responsible for the
death Of $4,000, 100000 of human beings.

The Best Soldiers.

1t is generally supposed that desper-
adoes-men at war with society. and
with whom society is at war-make the
best soldiers; but this is an error. Ac-
cording to the testimony of all expert
enced officers, men of bad character,
however brave, physically, are curse
to any army. Such men are generally
the prime movers of INSTRUMENTATION
and mutiny, and, if there is any trea-
son at work, are pretty sure to be at the
bottom of it.
Moral courage is as essential in mill
tary as in civil life. and il is not an at
tribute of the depraved and vicious. He
who goes to battle with clear con-
science, confident in the justice Of the
cause for which he risks his life, and

CONGRESSIONAL.
House.,

| Washington, June 15.-The house mel
at 10 o'clock to resume the Hawaiian
debate. Representative Fitzgerald Dem.
| MasS.) spoke against the NewlandS reso-
luton. He emphasized the failure of a
majority of Hawaiians to express a de-
sire relative to annexation and insisted
that every people had right to the
government of their choice. Fitzgerald
further opposed annexation on the
ground that an injurious labor element
would be brought into competition with
American labOrers. Supporting the
resolution, Representative Berry Dem.
Ky.) devoted much of his time to show
that annexation was in line with the
Democratic policy.
Mr.. Berry digressed to speak of the
Philippines situation, and while not ad-
vocating the retention of the islands,
declared the United States should brook
no interference upon the part of Ger
many.
The general deficiency bill, carrying
an aggregate of 1924, ,032, 1923 was report
ed to the house today by the committee
on appropriations. All but Sis, 1000, 600
is for war; $s,OOO,O0O is for pensions.
Senate.
The senate, under special order, be-
gan the consideration of bills on the
private pension calendar.
Proceeding, Mr.. Berry advocated the
construction Of the Nicaragua canal
and added the inheritance OF its control
as an additional argument for annexa-
tion. He declared his independence of
any attempt to control his action upon
the pending question by the caucus.
This brought from the Democrats de-
nial that any attempt had been made.
In reply to remark of Mr. Clark MO-
relative to the national immoral dance
of Hawaiian, Mr.. Berry said he wit
messed the dance. and more immoral
performances could be seen in Wash
ington theaters nightly. Later, when
Mr.. Rhea Dem. Ky.) was speaking of
the immortality of the Hawaiians, Mr.
Berry interrupted to assert vigorously:
"There is more immortality in this city
south of Pennsylvania avenue than in |
all Honolulu" Mr.. Rhea argued chief
ly on the sin, idolatry and disease in
Hawaii in opposition to the pending
resolutions. Mr.. Smith Mich made a |
strong argument for annexation.
The Hawaiian annexation resolution |
passed the house by vote of 200 to 81.
