Prediction That It win be Richer and
 More Powerful Than the North.
 New York, March 31-In its forth coming issue, Leslie's Weekly will print a paper by Colonel John s. Mosby, the famous Confederate raider on the Dawn of the Real South," in which he says
 "The real south is just at its birth. The growth of this child or the nation may be gradual, but in the end the south will be far richer and more pow erful than the north. Tn the dave to come the south will become the domi- nant section of the country.
 Without the war of secession the south could never have hoped to attain the future that is now certain. Slavery was great incubus, paralyzing natural energy. By abolishing this wrong our war benefited every state south of the Mason and Dixon line. The negroes are producing more as freemen than they ever did as slaves; and the great mass of the people are vastly better off to- day than they were under the old ante- bellum system.
 Socially, as well as industrially, the abolition of slavery was highly bene- ficial in its results to the masses for slavery was great wrong and no conn munity can exist in the highest state of happiness when it's system is based on. a wrong.
 There are the soundest reasons for asserting that the negro's status is bound to improve. While they are not as near to equality with white people as they were under the system of elav- cry, they are certain to be absorbed by immigration and in this engulfment they will disappear. This is the natural and wisest solution of what we now call the race problem "
 Richmond Is the city most likely to become in time the banking center and commercial headquarters of this coun- try and therefore of the world. Tho days of that famous old city as a polIti- cal capital are past; but it's career as the central point of men for the whole south and from there for the world at large. is just beginning.
 While great forces have been work ing for the change industrially and eo- cially the political change is hardly less marked. It is we'll nigh folly to-day to speak of the solid south That by the way. was a phrase of my own inven- ton. When Hayes became tAe republic can candidate for president, I urged silfs < a letter August, 1S76) that 1t was bet ter for some southern men to support him because if he was elected, his ad- fninistration must necessarily rest on whatever supported 1t. It was better for the southern people to divide be- 7 tween the parties, so that, no matter which sled won, there would be Ineil== friendly to southern people who would control it's southern policy. This con- tention is fully realized to-day and the solid south belongs wholly to the po- litical past"

AN o1D SPEECH OF THE KA1sEn,s
Rnked Up and Printed Because of Its
 Scnsatf onaltsn

Berlin March 31.--The Berlin papers publish a speech said to have been de- livered by Emperor William May 29 of last year at luncheon following pa- rade of the guards. His majesty refer red to the occasion of parade of the guards May 29, 1888, before Emperor Frederick, who was then seriously ill., and continued as follows: ''At that time the position I should assume with reference to the army was hidden in the mists of the future. To-day no doubt is possible on this point. may say that since the command of the army has devolved on me have exer- cised 1t and drilled it 50 that when | put, 1t to trial may leel secure and certain that 1t will not fail me-"
 His majesty then proceeded to say that for a long time, and in difference to6the solicitation of Field Marshals Prince Albrecht, Count von Blumen- thai and Count von Weldersee, he had considered the question of assuming the grade of field marshal.
 According to Prussian tradition" he continued, only the winning of bat tie or the capturing of a first-rate for tress entities one to that honor. This has not been vouchsafed to me, but in my own vindication, I can say that for twelve years l have worked on the army to the utmost of my power, and think have succeeded in keeping it up to the level of it's past.
 Tn a few years I hope to be strong enough at sea to secure respect for the name of Germany throughout the world. This new offensive flank which I am building on to the army by means of a powerful fleet will place Germany in position to defy all danger. no mat ter when combination may be formed against her"

 The department at once sent a tele- gram to H. F. Fay, the brother-in-law of Lieutenant Commander Roper, at 73 Monmouth street Longwood, Mass, asking that he inform Mrs. Roper of the news. The following expression of sympathy and appreciation is also made:
 With this sad news the department sends to Mrs. Roper deep sympathy in the great loss she has sustained and the highest appreciation of the gallant ry and self-sacrifice with which Lieu tenant Commander Roper gave his life for his fellow-men. It was a hero's death.'
 The deceased officer was born in Mis- souri and entered the naval service on June 25, 1868. He was commissioned to the rank held by him at the time of his death on March 3, 1S99 and ordered to. command the Petrel on November 15, 1899. The Petrel was one of the vessels under Admiral Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay, when he was in charge of Lieutenant Commander E. F. Wood. The latter officer came home shortly af- ter and Lieutenant Commander Roper succeeded him. The Buffalo on which the remains will be sent home. is now used for the transportation of troops, and is about to return to the United States by way of the Mediterranean

THE VALUE Of OIL FIELDS.

cause it is the fuel par excellence. It is
cheaper than coal or wood, makes a
