Does Not Want His Name Used in
Connection With Senatorship.
Richmond, Va. March 11.-ihe fol-
lowing letter from General Fitzhugh
Lee anent the question of his candidacy
for the United States Senate. was Civ
en- out for publication today:
Headquarters Seventh Army Corps,
Camp Columbia. Near Havana.
Cuba, February %, 1899.
Col. b. O. James, Attorney at Law.
Richmond, We.
my Dear Colonel: / have received
both your letters. Ny duties as COM
mander of a large body of troops have
occupied SO much of my time that
have not been able to give to the sub
ject you mention the careful considera-
tion it deserves. Many letters from nu-
merous friends in Virginia are being
constantly received by me in which they
urge my prompt return to the State in
order to arrange to make Il canvass Of
the whole State, so that the people may
be informed. so far as | can enlighten
them on the political issues involved in
the selection of the next Senator to rep
resent the State in the United States
Senate.
These letters have placed me under
some embarrassment. because | have not
been able to say when | can leave the
present important work | am engaged
III, and, because, too, | cannot say how
long my stay will be prolonged on this
island
In view of these uncertain conditions
| think it best to relieve my friends and
the Senatorial situation by authorizing
you to say that it is my desire that
my name shall not be considered in con
nection with the United States Senator
ship.
Il am quite sure my friends generally
will support for the seat now occupied
by Mr.. Martin any candidate who can
secure the greatest support from the
people or their representatives. LIN CON
clusion, / express the hope that the iico-
pie of Virginia will be given in the
near future the opportunity for the Sc
lection of a Senator to represent -heir
interests in the Senate of the United
States and that no man shall occupy that
high position unless he can read his
title clear.

Admiral Higginson's name was confirm

Secretary Long has addressed the fol-

Admiral: Will you let me express nY

to resume your former number Oh the

vancement which places you above other
officers who for their gallant services in

failure of the Senate to. act upon their
recommendations sent in by the Presi-

so admirable that | hasten to write you
this letter."
The other is the case of Lieutenant
Aaron Ward, who was recommended by
the board of promotions for advance
ment. On learning of this, he wrote
to the Department declining advance
ment, inasmuch as it gave him prece-
dence over his mates, Lieutenant
Staunton, stating that he did not feel
that the actions in which his vessel were
engaged were of so great value as to
Justify him in availing himself of the
opportunity.

BAILEY ON IMPERIALISM
SPEAKS IN BUFFALO AS GUEST OF THE
INDEPENDENT CLUB.
Why Should we Aggrayate The Race Qu, stion
The Party Against Empire that
of The PfopIe.

Buffalo, n. u, March 11.-Represen-
tative Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, was
the guest of the independent Club at
their March dinner tonight. About three
hundred members of the club and invited
guests assembled in the banquet room Of
the Ellicott Club to welcome the dis
tinguished Congressman.
Mr.. Bailey was heartily applauded
and it was some minutes before he could
speak His theme was "Imperialism. =
He repeated his well known views on
the subject and incidentally referred to
the tariff, free silver and other ques-
tions of public interest
The Filipinos, he declared, could main
tain as good a government as some of
the South American States. If, as
Admiral Dewey has declared, the Fill
pinos were as capable of governing
themselves as the Cubans. why not let
them govern themselves?
He would say to them assemble
peacefully form your goyeramcnt ana
we will recognize you. There should
be no taxation, however. without repre-
sentation. Our friends, the enemy" he
continued. had had some difficulty in
keeping the peace in the Southern States
and | have had some difficulty in assist
ing them. Why shall we aggravate the
race question further. The Southern
negro is Il prince compared with the
Filipino"
He then referred to the recent Presi-
Dental campaign and the epithets ap-
Piled to each party. and said it is light
we want now. not heat. Referring to
the increase of the army. he said every
war in which this country had partici-
pated had been won by volunteers, and
yet the powers that be would destroy
this patriotic feeling by employing hired
soldiers to fight its battles. Referring
to the future title Of President. he said
it would probably be the president of
the United States and Emperor of the
Philippine Islands,
In conclusion he said he would pledge
his life-yes his independence, which he
valued more-that the party that stands
for the Union against empire will com
mand the suffrage of the American peo-
pie.
Mr.. Bailey's remarks were frequently
interrupted by applause.

Admiral Higginson and Lieut. Wards S
Modest and Generous Requests.

Washington, March 1.-Two things,
in the opinion of Secretary Leng, so
creditable to the naval service have oc-
cured recently that they deserve to
be made public One is the request of
Admiral Higginson, which is contained
in the following letter:
Washington, D. c., March 10, 1899
''Sir: l respectfully request to be al
lowed to resume my former number on
the naval list after Rear Admiral
Kempff While deeply grateful to the
President and yourself for my nomina-
ton. for work done off Santiago. | do
not regard my own services as so con
spicuous as to warrant my advancement
while the other commanding officers nomi-
mated at the same time as myself go
mrewarded. They We're a gallant band
of naval officers and certainly deserved
well of their country, and if their ser
vices are to go unrecognized, | desire to
share the same fate.

WALL STREET EXCITED.
Trading Continues in unprecedcni-
ed Volume.

New York. Jan. 13-There was no ma
terial change in the character of the stock
market today IN comparison with its i'm
mediate predecessor. The trading contin-
ued in immense volume and there was a
pronounced rise in values, particularly in
the railway list. The noteworthy activity
of the market was indeed its most strik-
ing feature.
Speculative interest has reached pitch
where the facilities Of the Stock Exchange
are severely taxed 10 carry on the business
Offering. Those brokers who made a spe-
ciaity OF dealing in one or more particular
stocks today announced that they would
not accept stop loss orders, and in the
more active stocks it is fact that these
specialists, so-called, found their order
books so congested that they actually re-
fused to accept new business.
The real significance of this state OF
things is that public interest in the mar
ket has been awakened 10 a hardly sus-
pected extent. Wall Streets past history
furnishes many interesting illustrations OF
the power of the outside public in like cir
cumstances There is no question what
ever that this weeks stock market results
have followed operations for outside ana
professional account. For the most
part the regular and so styled professional
clement of the street are standing aside,
and are almost aghast at the dimensions
that the market has attained.
Interest in tOday's market was again
healthily diversified. but was still much
more pronounced in the standard railway
issues than elsewhere. In these cases
there were practically no exception TO the
advancing tendency of prices. The active
granger shares all made new high records
in price unless the quotation tables of
eighteen years ago should be brought out
for comparison.
Much buying of these stocks was Of an
investment character and investment con-
siderations only could be fitted to their
advance AS throwing clear light upon this
investment situation the free Offering of
money for six months at 3 per cent may be
instauced as a feature of the days gen.
eral situation. There were few other mat
tiers Of general importance that attracted
attention.
At enc time efforts We're made 10 shake
confidence by the dissemination of advices
frcm Washington that the treaty of peace
was in danger of failure of ratification,
but the matter attained scant considera-
ton.
Notably strong features were Pacific
Mail which rose on the prospects CT a Gov
eminent subsidy the Reading shares,
Southern Railway preferred and the Pacific
stocks The industrial stocks were fairly
steady and were comparatively dull. SUI
gar Refining American Tobacco and
American Gotten Oil were strong. The
foreign adyices reported an active and
buoyant market for American stocks in
London. but the arbitrage houses again
were sellers of stocks on balance in this
/ get
