IN MEMORIAM.
Mary Z. {Hunter) Cathey, wife
of Thos. B. Cathey, was born in
Navarro county, Tex, near Old
Spring Hill, Aug. 20, 1874. She
was baptized by the writer, Aug

Honeyfat Church in Hill county,
Texas.
She was married to Bro. Thos.

moved to Ardmore in 1892, where
she took membership with the

earnest, devoted Christian life.
In the last hours of her life she
sang, There will be rejoicing!"
Oh how sweet to look back over a
life devoted to the cause Of the
Dear Redeemer, and to know that
Jesus can, and does make the dy-
ing bed as soft as downy pillows
are.
Sister Cathey leaves a husband, 3,
two children, father and mother,

proposed TO the council consisted in admitting

foreign iron and steel for building sea vessels.
which have been imported duty free since April
%, ISIS. In order facilitate the application OF
the above measures, and the control by the Gus
tom-house OF the materials imported for ship
building purposes. it Is proposed 10 fix limited
period during which iron and steel man be i'm
ported duty free. rs guaranty the shipbuilder

him when the vessel i completed. Besides.
it is proposed to import dut, free whole parts
of the mechanisns of vessels such a> are not
manufactured in Rnssin. viz. cylinders exceed
ing ten inches in diameter. windlls=es for an
chois. and steam helm apparatus.
Representatives of the several iron and ship
building factories Of Russia whc took part in the
meeting were of the opinion that the above meas
would be of benefit the Russian ship
building industry, il other materials used for
building vessels not admitted duty free They
also recommended premium for every vessel
built in Russia. This latter question not
seriously discussed. There was considerable oppo-
siticn to the proposition To admit completed
machinery free.
Before these measures become laws they mast
first be confirmed by the Minister OF Finances.
then by the council Of ministers. and finally by
the Emperor. This will require six months.

CHoATE THE GUEST OF HONOR
Timely Speech That Met Hearty
Approval.

London. April 11-Ambassadcr Choate
was the guest Of honor at a small dinner
OF twenty-cne covers at the Reform Club
last night. His fellow diners included
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford and
Lords Acton. Hobhouse. Chesham, and
Monkswell. 1t was agreed that no speeches
should be made. but the compact was abb
rogated amid amusement, and Mr.. Choate
was unable to escape making an impromptu
reply to toast to himself. He said that
his life since his arrival in England had
been a round OF entertainments. with the
accompaniment Of spe .ca making.
which was one of Great Britain's princi-
pal sports He had already been asked
to speak at fifty charity dinners. He stole
away sometimes to study the other man
ners and institutions of England which,
however. were no new studies to himself
or his countrymen. These studies were
dear to Americans because they reminded
them of the ties of kinship and took them
back in imagination TO the time when the
mother country had not seeded from the
common partnership"
He continued with an air of gravity
which momentarily puzzled his hearers.
saying that il was always open to her to
come back She would find Americas arms
wide open to receive her. She had taken
away with her a great deal Of the general
property of the race. but that was being
restored to the common fund with every
interchange of friendly feeling between
the two peoples. II was his political duty
to promote that feeling. and with it the
peace OF mankind. His task would be
lightened if Englishmen would travel in
his country for observation and study,
as Americans Travelled in the old land. The
speech was heartily applauded

WEDNESDAY, APRIL L., 1899.
Treacherx in SnmOn.

The pews of today from Samoa is OF a
kind to change the tone of the rabid anti
American newspapers in Germany. IL Is
probable they will cease TO urge an en-
uuiry into the causes and course OF the
trouble. The statement is very positive
that the American and English marines
were cruelty ambushed by the rebels Oh
a German planters pace and several kill
ed That the German had nothing to do
with the ambush will not be believed in
the light of the former charges against
the German Consul. II is clear, and 1t is
not denied, that the immediate cause Of
the later outbreak was the proclamation
of Herr Rose; it is positive that the Ger
man sympathy is entirely with Mataafa
and that the German Consul is the inspi-
ration of the rebellion. When, therefore.
the allied Americans and English are am
bushed on German plantation, the natural
inference is that the Germans were in it.
Indeed. Mataafas followers have no initia-
tive and act only as they are directed. That
has been proved several times. t-
Since the Germans demand an enquiry
into the action of Admiral Kautz; since
they insist on a restoration of the illegal
provisional government and the continued
suspension of the Supreme Court, it is
proper that America and England should
call for full history of the German part
in the rebellion. This latest tragedy can
not be CLOSED over. We cannot consent
10 the restoration Of the status quo ante
bellum as a condition precedent to a set
tlement, but should require strict observ-
ance of the act Of Berlin pending the for
mutation of a new agreement.

A strange Forecs.t.

A prominent Republican newspaper IN
New York forecasts the report Of the Court
Of Enqyiry into the beef scandal In way
that must surprise its readers. The Court
is to find that the charges Of General Miles
have not beenssustained. 1t will then rest
with the President to decide what punish
ment Miles shall receive for slander and
for insubordination. THE President 10
much 'perpiexed over the situation, for
while he believes that Miles has basely
slandered the Government. he hesitates
to make the general martyr"
1t would not be worth while to
consider this ominously shocking pre-
diction II 1t were not for the prec-
edent Of the Alger Relief Com
mission. That body was composed in part
of men fairly well known in public life.
and who would be expected. in ordinary
circumstances, to render verdict based
entirely on the evidence Yet, from the
first, two or three members assumed full
control of the machine. and exposed their
purpose to admit no testimony unfav-
orable to the War Department il they could
help it, In spite of their abuse OF wit
nesses who knew things that were not to
the credit and glory OF the department: in
spite of their positive refusal tc hear i'm
portant testimony, the defence was so in
consequential and weak that the fair
minded public could not avoid the convic-
ton that every charge was abundantiy
proved Disregarding evidence that would
have been decisive in any legally estab-
lished court. the Commission carried out
its purpose and made a whitewashing re-
port.
There was no proof OF the falsity OF
General Miles charges to warrant any
against him. Was this the
reason for the creation OF the Court OF
Enquiry, II is true that many newspa-
pers have expressed the opinion that the
Judge Advocate was disposed to favor the
packers and the War Department and that
the Court would not be displeased II the
Miles charges should be disproved; but
there is little in the proceedings to sup
port this newspaper opinion. Certainly
evidence which the Alger Relief Commits
sion declined to receive the Court has ads
mitted without question. We do not be-
lieve there is any ground to fear the JUS
tice OF the Courts verdict. On the con-
trary, there is every reason to expect that
its report will declare that every charge
made by General Miles has been fully sus-
tanned and that the packers should be
prosecuted and the responsible officials of
the War Department subjected to disci-
pline. That the evidence warrants this
every unprejudced reader will affirm. 1t
is not right that the perfidy of the Alger
Relief Commission should throw suspi-
cion on the Court OF Enquiry. 1t is natu-
raj perhaps, that the public should be
distrustful after such an experience, es-
pecially when an intelligent and careful
newspaper forecasts such report, but the
members of the Court have done nothing
TO Justify a doubt OF their absolute i'm
partially.
