ACCORDING to Northern warriors
bold the "era of good feeling and of the
obliteration of sectionalism" has been
reached. This is well enough in writ
ten and uttered words, but acts would
be infinitely more convincing. A short
time ago bill, to pay a just claim OF
the legal heirs of Mrs. Mary GUSTS Lee,
was defeated by the almost unanimous
vote of the Northern republican major
itv in the U. S. House of Representa-
tiyes. for no other conceivable reason
than the fact that she was the widow of
General Robert E. Lee.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 4 1898.

AS THE United States have set out,
like Don Quixote, to right the wrongs
of the world, and Cypress their people
with enormous taxes on account Of
wars for humanity" and to establish
freedom among all the nations of the
earth, due regard for consistency
should induce them to recognize the in
dependence OF the insurgents in Sau
Domingo and in Turkestan, and to 60
TO war in their behalf. But it wont, for
San Domingo already possesses the lin
estimable boon of freedom" and Russia
is first.class power.

CAMP LEE Richmond. June 8

CAMP LEE, hlCHmOHu, Juuo y.
The last three days have tesn very
busy ones here in camp. First on We'd
nesday the orders arrived for the 2ud
Regiment to move at once. As soon as
these were posted on the bulletin board
at headquarters the news flew around
the camp and the men, especially Of
the 2nd, began to cheer wildly and
then set to work packing up ready to
move.
Another event OF interest on that day
was the regimental veri6cation of the
muster of all companies 10 the 3rd Jour
regiment) the entire regiment being in
line on the parade grounds.
Yesterday the great event was the
moving of the End Regiment. By sun
rise the men were hard at work packing
up and striking tents, and by s O'Clock
the regiment had assembled in heavy
marching order, together with about q
regiment of men from the 3rd and Alb,
who were to act as an escort to the de-
pot, and by 8 o'clock the Fad Regiment
OF Virginia Volunteers were marching
to the front. The day was very warm
and as the men hal ed on Franklin
street to rest the ladies came from their
homes with ice water ard some with
cakes and sandwiches for the men. At
the depot there were many touching
parting scenes. Strong men wept as
they bid farewell to their wives, sweet
hearts and mothers.
The point now in doubt here at camp
is, "Who will be the next ?" and the
general impression is that ours, the
3rd, will get orders in few days and
then off we go to join the 2od at jack
sonville, Fla. In the meantime ell are
we'll in camp and ready to move when
ever the call may come. CORPORAL.

The FACT that the condition of Lii

700 A WEEK DIE IN HAVANA

HAVANA, Oct. l7-Colonel Warnings
first inspection of Havana has filed
him with surprise. The conditions
are much worse than he had expected.
Everything is favorable for an out
break of fever: Garbage remains in
the streets sometimes for days, though
the Spanish authorities are making
every effort to keep the fever in check.
The streets, in many places, are filed
with fostering matter. Last night
hundreds of bushels of rotten potatoes
were dumped at the foot of Obispo
street.
DR.. Wilson told Colonel Waring that
the city was never before in a con-
dition more favorable for q yellow
fever epidemic. In normal times the
deaths in Havana number about 300 a
week. They are now averaging fully
100 a day. The deaths mostly result
from pernicious fever, which in many
ways resembles yellow fever.

An unknown man also received stray

Il Alum Poisonous?

Alum is used by many bakers to
whiten their bread, enabling them to
use an inferior flour, and it is also en-
ployed as a cheap substitute for cream
of tartar in the manufacture Of baking
powder. Its use in bread and baking
powder is very detrimental to health,
producing dyspepsia and obstinate
constipation, and under certain condi'
tons of the human system results IN
poisoning. What these conditions are
SO far as each individual is concerned
can only be surmised: some peculiar
ity of the system producing morbid
change in the secretions of the stOm-
ach with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or, the Sc
cretions may be healthy but in alb
normal proportions, and these lesser
or greater proportions in combination
with the alum constitute poison just
as two parts of mercury and two parts
chlorine form calomel, which is not
poisonous, while one part of mercury
and two parts of chlorine yield cor
rosive sutlimate, which is most dead
y poison.

DcWAGER AS A REFORMER.

fEKIN, Oct. 16--The reactionary
policy of the dowager empress seems
likely to return to moderation. An
edict just issued promises to attend to
the welfare of the people and to do
the best to secure prosperity. The
edict provides for the appointment of
two boards of trade, one at Shanghai
and one at Hangkow, having jurisdic-
ton over the whole south empire and
the Yangtse valley. including Shan 81.
Prince Ching, president of the
Tsung- L;-Yymen, has informed Sir
Claud Mcdonald officially that the
health of the emperor is improving.
He declares that the empress dowager
is not opposed to genuine reform, but
only to such violent and impracticable
reforms as were hastily decreed. Her
majesty will proceed on lines more
adapted to Chinese conditions.
TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 17.-According
to advices brought by the steamship
Tacoma from China and Japan, the
Oriental press is still in an excited
state over the triumph Of the dowager
empress over the emperor of China
The press is unable to solve the
riddle of the transfer of power. The
emperor's proposed reforms were wide
spread sd not at all satisfactory to
the masses. His last and most radical
change was contained in an edict
which proposed that an annual budget
should be issued, which would set forth
the annual expenses, so the people
could suggest reforms and means of
economizing. The emperor advised
the gentry to embark in the newspa-
per business for the purpose of educat.
ing the people. His edict confiscating
temples and other places Of worship
for educational purposes was opposed
from all quarters.

TO HOLD TANNER RESP0NSlBL E

VRDEN, Ill, Oct. II. Attorney
William Patton Of the Chicago virden
Coal company is authority for the
statement that no further attempt
will be made to bring the Alabama
negroes whose coming resulted in the
loss of SO many lives. There is under
consideration, according to ATTORNEY
Patton, an attempt to fix the response
bility for the tragedy upon the gov
ernor of Illinois. The lawyer declares
that it is the intention of the coal
company to press the matter and it
vii be for the grand jury of Macoupin
county to say whether Governor Tan
ner shall answer in court.
Tanner Defends Himself.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. l7.-Governor
Tanner last night gave out an inter-
view regarding the situation at Vi-den
and his attitude ON the importation of
miners into the state. He said:
my position has been from the be-
ginning. and am now more positive
in that position. emphatically against
the importation of labor into nli-
nois, not from the Southern states
alone, but from all other states
because such pernicious system.
as I have said before, necessarily
brings to our state and dumps upon
society an undesirable class of citizens,
and do not propose, if can help it,
that the state of Illinois shall be used
as a dumping ground for the criminal
and idle classes of other countries or
other states.
The Chicago Virden company has
been an Intentional law breaker, has
sent an agent to Alabama and by false
pretenses induced negroes to come
here, loading them on the trains like
cattle, locking the doors of the cars,
feeding them like stock, and procuring
the services of armed guards from a
detective agency, and invading the
state in an illegal manner"
He says if he had been appraised of
the coming of the train he should have
had it met at the state line with the
national guard and disarmed and made
prisoners of every man bearing arms.
