have permitted that in South Africa the
right of nations. the right of war and
civil law should be trampled under foot
or little nation be sacrificed in an
unequal combat in defense of it's exist
Pnce"
The address. after a long eulogy of

MAY your reliance on the Almighty
similar to that of the Prince of Orange
support you. Mr.. President. in the ard

may the liberty of your nation crown
your courage. Then will Great Britain
have learned the lesson of how danger
Gus II is to attempt to throttle the in
dependence of a free nation"

tion committee proceeded in open car
riages to the Hotel des Indis, which
was resplendent with flags and bunt-
ing. There a bevy OF ladies. headed by
the Baroness van Hartmann, greeted

Of service would of course be short,
but he might have vote on some I'M
portant measures. He considers the
ship subsidy bill bad one, and IS
against it. His position on the stand
ing army is that the people have voted
to put down the war in the Philippines
and he will vote to give an army large
enough to do that, but not for an IN
crease for any other purpose. He does
not expect to participate in debate at
all during his short term.

Much regret is felt in circles well in
formed as to the probable result of the
meeting of the Island Legislature in
the spring over the presence in both
houses of majority for the Independ-
ents. There is expressed fear that
there may be such pressure as to pass
over the head of the Governor some
measures which will make it very hard
for the Islands to keep to the front in
the coming speedy investment of mon
les which have been thrown on the
market by the reelection of President
Mckinley. Some men here who have
read of the promises during the cam
paign made by Wilcox and his associ-
ates say they fear that there will be
little Eastern money sent to the Is
lands until it has been shown that the
independent majority knows how to
use its power and demonstrates that
there will be no oppressive legislation
against the sugar industries
THE PACIFIC CABLE.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec 1.-The
advocates of Pacific cable under the
ownership and control of the United
States Government will make a deter
mined fight at the opening of this ses-
sion of Congress for hearing and vote
upon the bill now before the lower
House, and the prospects are that in
the event of a vote being given it will
result in the authorization of the con-
struction of cable from San Francisco
to Honolulu Immediately, with the
completion of the line to the Asiatic
coast as soon as possible to secure fur
ther legislation. 1t is the temper of the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce that there should be
work and as there are few men in Con-
gress who do not think that the Gov
ernment should own and control the
line, that plan seems to be assured. In
the way of the acceptance of the Gable
bill at this session is the Shortness of
the time for the consideration of busi-
ness, and there is so much to be done
that some. things must of necessity lie
over. 1t is not too much to say. how
ever. that there is serious intention
on the part of some of the leaders on
the Republican side to endeavor to push
through the bill, even if the amount OF
money involved will preclude the au-
thorization of more than the line to
Honolulu at this time b.

the field, and was of the very last to retire.
For his conspicuous services upon this field
he was on Dec. %, 1862, promoted to the
command of the Fifth Corps, which, after
being engaged throughout the battle of
Charlottesville, covered the retreat of the
beaten army, and guarded the crossings
until the whole army was safely over the
Rappahannock. AT this battle his sagac-
ious advice and soldierly bearing made so
profound an impression upon Gen. Hooker,
the commander of the Army of the Poto-
mac, that in the following June, in asking
to be relieved from its charge, he desig-
mated Gen. Meade as his successor.
IN COMMAND OF THE ARMY OF THE
POTOMAC.
Early on June %, 1868, when in Mary
land with the Fifth Corps, Gen Meade
was suddenly and unexpectedly placed by
the President in command of the Army of
the Potomac, which at that time was not
far from Frederick, following carefully the
movements of Gen. Lee. Gen. Hooker
left camp i'll a few hours after he was re-
lieyed, and did not communicate to Gen
Meade any information as to his plan of
operations or views upon the situation

Allowing an enrolment of 1000 for the
9th n. y, it would give a total for the
brigade, 1850 men; the killed and NOR
tally wounded in action being 91a per
cent, nearly, and the total deaths being
16 1-3 per cent. This glorious record may
be better appreciated when it is remem-
bered that Pennsylvania stands at the
head of the States in the percentage of
men killed in battle, the figures being II,
and yet the losses of this renowned organ
ization considerable exceeds those figures.
1t is generally supposed that regiments
raised in the country are more rugged and
healthy, and can endure more privations
and hardships than those from the cities;
but comparison of the disease list in the
above table proves directly to the contrary
The 11th, 9th and 94th were all from
the country, while the 10Th, 9th, Goth, SSth
and 18th were practically city and town
organizations, yet the mortality from dis
ease in the rural battalions far exceeds
that in the city regiments. Thisis a mat
ter of record and not of opinion.
Popular opinion likewise credits the
country lad as making a better fighter
than his city brother. but there is no es-
sential difference in the pluck or courage
of either as soldier.
True, the rustic is more familiar with
firearms and is a most uncomfortable OPP
