two stacks on the Edmiston farm
below town belonging to George

malicious person or persons, and
on Sunday morning one of w.
B. McGary's best stacks was also
burned. no doubt, by the same

every assistance. Mr.. McGary
thinks his stack was burned by
some boys trying to smoke out a

Why Southern Orators Oppose the
Promotion Of the General.

When jefferson Davis was a prisoner at
For; Monroe. after the assassination OF
President Lincoln, he was put in irons by
General Miles. This fact became known
and is used to defeat the passage OF the
bill which proposes 10 revive the grade of
Northumberland. position which Gen.
eral Miles is very anxious TO secure. There
Is no denial OF the incident, but the au-
thority for the action Is contained in an
order from Charles A. Dana, then assist,
ant secretary of war.
The matter was brought TO the attention
of the. senate committee on military at
fairs. when the bill was under considera-
ton. by a southern senator, who desired
TO bring 10 the attention OF his colleagues

possession. as IL indicated. 10 his mind
a good and sufficient reason why General
Miles should not receive the desired pro-
motion. The records frem the war de-
partment. which he inclosed. showed that
Davis was put In irons by order OF Miles
The latter met the case by furnishing his
friends on the committee with the copy
OF an official order signed by Charles A.
Dana assistant secretary Of war direct
ing him to place the confederate in man
acles. The vote on the motion 10 favora-
oily repor; the bin was In the affirmative

corded as for the bill. All the Republic
cans on the committee thus voted affirma-
lively. together with two Democrats.
Mitchell OF Wisconsin, and Pettis of Ala
hama. The negative votes were cast by
senators from Tennessee. Missouri and
Mississippi.
Before the bill was voted upon I'm COM
mittee there was considerable discussion.
II originally proposed that the person TO
be chosen for lieutenant general should be
appointed by the president. by and with
the advice and consent OF the senate. The
word appoint was changed 10 "nomi-
nate. The most important change. how
ever. was he elimination OF the clause
which compelled the president 10 select
one of the three major generals. This was
stricken out, so that the president. IL the

the establishment of such depots and has
ascertained the feasibility of stocking them

Is believed. owing to the guarded manner
in which Mr.. Balfour replied to the direct
question as to the question Of the govern

Britain will adopt a middle course She
will probably refuse to allow one of the

allow any such ships arriving at her ports

to take them to their next port thus apply
