Judge F. R. Farrar, Familiarity and
affectionately known in all Virginia
as Johnny Rebn died at hotel in
Richmond last Saturday. He was
the oldest county judge in the State,
served with distinction in the Con
federate army and as lecturer was
almost without an equal. He acted
well his part in all these spheres, but
the story of the trials and triumphs
of the boys who wore the gray, told
by him on the lecture platform in his
inimitable style, endeared him to the
people not only Of Virginia but of the
South in way never to be forgotten
by all who loved the Lost Cause.
That story was told by him on the
Eastern Shore on several occasions to
the delight of all who had the pleas
ure of hearing him.

we Need Them In Our Business.

Minneapolis, Aug. 16.-John Goodnow.
consul general at Shanghai. China, in
private letter, discusses the expansion
policy as follows: I'VE should hold the
Philippine islands. the Caroline islands
and the Ladrone islands, also Cuba and
Porto Rico. 1t does not matter whether
we call them war indemnity or not. We
need them in our business. You have
no idea, and cannot have until you get
out here, where all nations are fighting
for trade, what an intense jealousy
there is of the United States. Just now
the continental peoples seem more jeal-
Gus of us than even of England. If
we are to have anything to say we must
have a navy and to have a navy we
must have coaling stations.

Manila surrendered to Dewey last
Saturday. After bombardment by
his fleet for two hours the Americans
stormed the trenches sweeping all be-
fore them. The losses to Americans
and Spaniards are not known, but
the loss to our troops is reported as
extremely small. The surrender ap-
pears to have occurred after the
peace protocol had been signed at
Washington. Dewey seemed to pre-
fer Ito get there" however. in his
own way, and did so in manner
that is gratifying to many Americans
despite the tact that he had the right
to expect peaceful occupation of the
city in a few hours.

Hon. John Sherman in an address
at Wooster, Ohio. warned the Ameri
can people against the greed for land.
He said in part:
1.-The vast extent and compass of
our country should satisfy our peo-
pie and prevent them from extending
their domain to distant lands, posses
sions difficult to control and impossi-
BILE to defend. I regret to notice a
disposition in Congress to reach out
for outside territory. This ambition
for the occupation of territory was
the ruin of Greece, Rome and the
great nations of Asia in ancient times
and Of Spain, Austria and Italy in
modern times. And now the United
States is in more danger from similar
causes than all others combined"

Hong Kong, Aug 16.-General Angus
IT, captain general of the Philippines,
arrived by the Kaiserin Augusta. He
refuses to be interviewed, and will say
nothing more than that he is going to
Spain at the first opportunity. 1t is a
significant fact that while the fastest
