Gen. Fitzuugh Lee has finally de
termined the question as to whether

important work he is now engaged
In, and because he cannot say how
long his stay will be prolonged on
the island, he desires Col. James to
say 1t is his wish that his name will
not be considered in connection with
the U. s. senatorship. He further
says he feels sure that his friends
will support for the seat DOW occupi-
ed by Mr.. Martin any candidate who
can secure the greatest number of
votes. In conclusion he expresses
the hope that the people will be Civ
Ell in the near future an opportunity
for the selection of ga senator to rep
resent their interests, and that no
man shall occupy that high position
unless he can read his title clear"
There is good deal of meaning in
the conclusion of Gen. Lees letter.
1t was proposed in the last State con-
vention that primary election plan
be adopted for indicating the choice
of the people for Senator, but this
very fair proposition was voted down.
We don't think today it could be de-
feated, since we have learned of the
shameful proceedings in some Legis-
lAtures attending the election of a
u. 5. Senator. Gen. Lee indicates
that he would favor a plan for the
election of senator's by the popular
vote. We think instructions of this
character ought to be passed by the
next Virginia Legislature.

A dispatch from Havana s

A dispatch from Havana says for
the month of March the various
provinces, excepting the province of
Santiago, have made requisition for
two million rations. Thus, instead
diminishing, the requisition has
donbled since that of January l..
This is due partly to the fact that
the Cubans use every possible oppor-
tunlty of getting rations under false
pretenSes, and partly to the fact that
the American distributors are unable
to discriminate properly between i'm
posters and the really needy.

Alger Meets With an Obstacle.

An amendment to the army bill
introduced by Senator Foraker, Of
Ohio, and adopted by Congress, pro
hibiting the granting of franchises
which includes, of course, the selling
as well as giving them away, in ter
rltory not owned by the United States,
is said to be giving serious concern 10
Secretary Alger and the presidential
syndicate generally. The exact text
of the amendment is as follows
"And provide further that no bus
mess franchises or concessions of any
kind whatever shall be granted bv
the United States or by anv military
or other authority whatever in the Is
land of Cuba during the occupation
thereof by the United States"
To say that Secretary Alger is an
CRY at this inconsiderate action of
Congress and that his love for Sena-
tor Foraker has not been increased
thereby is to put the case mildly.
The amendment was vigorously but
unsuccessfully opposed by such dis
interested patriots as Senator Mark
Hanna, also of Ohio; Senators Platt.
of New York, and Sewell. of New
Jersey, 1t has now, it is stated, been
referred by Secretary Alger, who
seems to be particularly hurt by its

Board of Pardons.-Confede

Several month ago the Richmond
Times suggested that there ought to
be Board of Pardons created to re-
Ieve the Governor of the labor of ex
aiming the mass of material sent to
him with an application for the ex-
erclse of executive clemency. The
Times presented the subject with its
accustomed ability, but it omitted to
say, SO far as our recollection goes.
whether the creation of such a board
could be effected without imposing
an additional charge upon the State.
AS we are sincere advocate of the
abolition of all needless offices, we
were not prepared to endorse to rec
omnendatIon of the Times until we
saw it stated that the Tennessee Leg
islature had created such a board,
impsrting to it advisory powers, and
that 1t was to serve without compen-
sation.
1t may be that from among the of
fcials already drawing salaries from
the State such board az has been
created fol Tennessee can be called
into existence in Virgins, without
any additional charge upon the State.

lie service should be rendered for
nothing, still there are doubtless off.

plenty of time to investigate the tes-

We shall hesitate to sanction any
measure for the creation of offices
that will be charge upon the State,
because we are convinced from per-
soDal observation that Virginia will
have to do more than she has done
heretofore for the support of needy
Confederate veterans, or else shut her
eyes to their wants. Those who have
been able to support themselves find

Two Prominent Men Shot

The bitterness that has several
times characterized the taking OF
testimony In the congressional con.
test between Gen. James A. Walker
and Judge VIM. F. Rhea, of the 9th
district, resulted in bloody episode
at Bristol last Saturday night, in
which Gen. Walker received two bull
lets in the right shoulder, and w. 5.
Hamilton, attorney for Judge Rhea,
two bullets in the abdomen. and both
are thought to be seriously wounded.
The account in the Baltimore Sun
says that a controversy arose between
Walker aud Hamilton, both rising to
their feet, but were quieted by
friends on either side. Calfee propos-
ed an adjournment of taking deposi-
tions. Rhea objected. Gen. Walker
proposed adjournment, but the nota.
ny decided to proceed. Walker stat
ed he did not propose to do so with a
drunken attorney (referring to Ham.
ilton). The latte denounced the
statement as d-n lie.
Statements of facts as to what fol.
lowed disagree. Walkers side state
that Hamilton, with an oath and his
hand in the right coat pocket ia sack
coat, and with the statement that he
would blow his Walkers brains out.
attempted to rise when shot was
fired presumably by Walker, taking
effect, as stated, in the abdomen.
Walkers friends say that George Z.
Davis, who was standing to the right
of Walker, fired two shots. the balls
striking as described.
Rhea's side state that Hamilton
was sitting down on the opposite side
OF the room Gury room, 12xI2 feet
In the courthouse; that Walker arose,
and, stepping forward, deliberately
shot Hamilton while sitting: that
Hickman, they suppose, shot Walker
accidentally, as a pistol was seen in
his hand. They say they did not
see Davis have a pistol, but some one
fired two shots, after which people
left the room, and that Walker. af
ter shooting, laid his pistol on ia.
BILE, which was found upon return
ing to the room after being vacated.
The pistol was single barreled Der
ringer, forty one calibre, and the
shell was empty.
Walkers side claim that such a
pistol was not his, but admit that
Walker was armed with army Off
GERS Colts revolver, six barrel, forty
four calibre, and a dirk or dagger
blade about five inches long and
sharp on both edges. Examination
of these instruments showed no sign
OF use.
Hamilton tonight states that Walk
er shot him. Walker states that
Davis shot Walker. A rumor that
Walker was shot by Hickman is
wholly without foundation, as from
the positions occupied by the parties
such thing would be impossible.

Alexandria Gazette: There is q vast
discrepancy in the statements of the

army. General Gomez puts the
strength at $4,000, the Cuban as
sembly at $4,000 and Inspector Gen
eral Roloff at $4,000, of which 25.-
600 are commissioned officers. None
of the different authorities state when
and where, or by whom, the army
referred to was enlisted o. organized.
nor does the latter state by whom
the $4,000 in buckram were commits
stoned. But officers salaries are
high, and a country that can afford

paying $4,000 officers of an magma
