New York Confederates Endorse
Government Action in Arlington
Cemetery Matter.

New York, May THE Confederate
Veteran Camp of New York tonight an
nounced the adoption of the following
resolutions:
Whereas, the patriotic declaration of
the President of the United States in
Atlanta in 1898, touching the care of the
graves of the Confederate dead by the
government. has been followed on the
petition of the Confederate Camp of the
District of Columbia by an act of Con-
gress in which the sum of $780, or so
much thereof as necessary, has been ap-
propriated, to enable the Secretary
of War to have reburied in
some suitable spot in the national ceme-
terry at Arlington, Va, and to place
proper headstones at their graves, the
bodies OF about one hundred and twenty
eight Confederate soldiers now buried in
the national soldiers home, near Wash
ington, District of Columbia, and the
bodies of about one hundred and thirty
six Confederate soldiers, now buried in
the national cemetery a Arlington, Va.
And whereas, we learn through that
DISTINGUISHED Confederate soldier, Col. II.
A. Herbert, late secretary of the navy of
the United States under President Cleve-
land that the plan adopted by the War
Department contemplates that beauti-
ful plot of ground adorned with trees,
walks and drives is to be set aside and
of course kept perpetually in order by
the United States government Gt being
part of the cemetery with separate mar
BILE slabs marked with the names, where
ohtainable of each soldier.
Therefore, the Confederate Veteran
camp of New York, appreciating every
step which marks the obliteration of bit
terness In the memories of the war be-
tween the states, desires to put on record
it's satisfaction with the success OF the
Confederate Veteran camp of the District
of Columbia in their noble and patriotic
efforts"

Fusion is the open and honest plan
of cooperation. The middle of the road

gether against the common enemy until
the country is rescued from plutocratic
tendencies and posterity is saved from the
retribution which always follows wrong

The commission at the secret session,
presented an extensive report of their
conferences with President Mckinley and
Secretary Root and a glowing account of
the banquets and receptions rendered
them. Senior Giberga objected to incor-
porsting an account of the social pro-
gramme in the report. but the commits
sion insisted upon this point
In reference to the third clause of the
Platt amendment the report stated that
the United States would not interfere
unless Cuba were attacked by a foreign
Power. or unless there existed In Cuba
condition of affairs similar to that
which existed under Spain at the time Of
American Intervention.
Regarding coaling stations the report
sets forth that the places so desired by the
United States were Capes Maysi and San
Antonia and another point commanding
the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico; these
would be definitely determined
upon when drawing up the
treaty, and that the object OF these
stations would be the maintenance of

Trade Follows Capital and Not the
Flag.
London. May THE Leyland Line
shareholders unanimously confirmed the
Morgan -Ellerman agreement to-day. AT
ter Mr.. Mattinson, who presided had ex-
plained the terms of the contract. Mr.
Ellerman, chairman of the line, set forth
his views on the trans Atlantic trade. He
said the outlook was not promising for
British shipowners, in view of the large
American tonnage building. the prospects
of the return TO that trade of the YES
sells now diverted to South Africa, and
the probability of an American subsidy.
He did not believe that Parliament would
inhict countervailing duties on subsidized
American vessels. Mr.. Morgan's railroad
and manufacturing interests would enable
him to make the purchase of the Leyland
line profitable.
Mr. Ellerman severely criticised the an
tiquated British navigation laws which
put British vessels at an increasing dis
advantage in competing with foreigners.
Mr. Mattison said the Americans were
evidently in the transatlantic trade to
stay. Trade does not follow the flag;
it follows capital. The conditions favor
their success. The fact that this pur-
chase has been possible had been grave
warning to Great Britain to revise the
navigation regulations which threaten her
supremacy.
