Hamilton, then a colonel, went to Al
bany to urge Gates to act. The gen
eral proposed to return Morgans corps
to Washington, along with O. few worm

Die temper. Washington once accused
him of want Of respect for his chief.
1 am not conscious Of it," said he,
'Dut since you have thought of it we
part" Although Washington tried to
heal the breach, the young aid re-
manned firm. Hamilton's figure was
not commanding. He was light, but
well made. Little Lion" was a name
which suited and which clung to him
throughout his career. A fine shaped,
symmetrical head, eyes deep set and
full Of light and fire, long, sharp nose
above close set lips, these gave to the
advocate his penetrating features" to
the searcher of hearts his piercing
look" Socially 'the Little Lion" was
a favorite. Open hearted, hospitable,
helping any one in need with both
money and labor declining heavy fees
from the wealthy clients and taking
none from the poor. the man who bad
made the nation rich eft only name
and fame to his family.
The self confidence Of the young
West Indian" remained with the war
riOr and the statesman. AS he had re-
buked Putnam so he rebuked the SEN
ate for useless demands for inf0rma-
ton. and that august body took the
lesson meekly. He forestalled an out
burst of scandal by issuing pamphlet
which was at once confession and an
appeal and the American public &C.
cepted it. The self confidence of Ham
iltOn was rot born Of audacity nor con-
ceit but of conscious power. Impartial
contemporaries said that he was the
superior Of Webster in creative force.
AS an advocate before juries or as an
orator on the platform Hamilton won
by direct attack upon the intellects ana
hearts of his hearers. He had no silver
tongue, but drove his own deep cOnvic-
ton home to the heart by the spirit he
put into words.
Burr's bullet was aimed not so much
at a personal enemy as at public
Nemesis. Hamilton had denounced the
arch intriguer again and again in the
course of the fierce political fights fol-
lowing the adoption of the constitution.
He tried to make peace with Burr and
finally fought as public duty to vindi-
cate his dignity, his honor and his pres
tige as a leader of men. When the
challenge was given, Hamilton asked
for delay of the meeting in order to
settle important affairs for his clients,
Burr used the time in practicing with
his pistol. Just a week before the duel
Hamilton presided at a Fourth Of July
banquet of the Society of Cincinnati
During the convivialities Of the even
ing he was called upon to sing favor
lite ballad, which he did with spirit
Burr being one of the company.
The night before the encounter Ham
ilton wrote a protest against the code,
ending it with a statement of his rea-
son for fighting.
Said he, The ability to be in the flu
ture useful, whether in resisting evil or
in effecting good in those crises of our
public affairs which seem likely to hap
pen, would probably be inseparable
from conforming with public prejudice
in this particular"
A hero in war, master in council
and a prince in debate, he could not af'
ford to shirk an affair of honor. He
made no effort to kill his antagonist
but coolly stood at disadvantage tc
meet Burr's fire. His own pistol was
discharged as he fell forward, and the
bullet went in the air.

DREW THE COLOR LINE.
Northern Bricklayers Refuse to Work
With Negroes i'm the south.

CHICAGO. April 1s.-The Tribune says:
Bricklayers from Chicago and other north
err cities have tied up building operation
on the new state house at jackson, Miss,
by striking because of the presence of
negro bricklayers on the work. Advices
of the trouble We're received by Chicago
labor leaders last night.
There were but two negroes on the lob
ard they are said to be non-union men,
while the northern men are union, but the
trouble, ii is said. is due not so much to
union ideas as TO the color line. The north
ern men demanded the negroes be dis
charged, and when the foreman refused to
let them so the white men quit work.
Chicago labor leaders are at loss to
understand why the bricklayers should
have based their refusal TO work on the
color line, as the bricklayers union does
not draw the line against the admission
of negroes They call attention to the
fact that at the last convention of the
International Bricklayers and Stonemasons
Union. held at milwaukee,. there were two
tcolored delegates present. There are many
negroes in the hodcarrers' and building
laporers' unions. and the secretary of the
local granite cutters union is a colored
fsaan. The American Federation of Labor
went on record as appealing to the ne
groeS to join unions.

MAY HAVE SERIOUS RESULTS.
Burning of the Palace at Pekfn Oc-
cunied bN Wnldersec.

cup1eU by WaIdersee.
The Secretary of State received q cable
message this morning from Mr.. Squiers,
United States charge at Pekin, dated at
Pekin, April Is, saying: Winter Palace
occupied by Won Waldersee, accidentally
destroyed by fire; Gen. Schwartzhoff, chief
of staff, fatally burned
This incident may prove more serious
than appears on the surface. 1t is known
from diplomatic communications received
in Washington that intense feeling has
been aroused among the Chinese over the
occupation of the empress dowager's palace
by Count Won Waldersee and his military
staff. This was graphically set forth in a
letter received here recently from one of
the foremost officials at Pekin. He de-
scribed, in detail. the manner in which the
palace had been turned over to military
uses, and commented upon the indignity
to the imperial family. Moreover, it is
known that this military occupation of the
imperial palaces was a moving cause for
the rejection of all overtures for the return
of the imperial family to Pekin. From the
Chinese standpoint it was impossible to
even consider the return of the imperial
family so long as the commander-in-chief
of the allied forces was in actual occupa-
tion of the empress palace.
Now that the palace is entirely DESTROYED
it may have bearing on the return of the
imperial family. While there is no longer
the objection that the palace is occupied by
the foreign commander yet a new objec-
tion is created in the removal of the palace
itself, for under Chinese usage the imperial
family cannot be housed in any chance
quarters reserved for them within the pro-
hibited precincts.
