NEW REUNION MUSIC.

A new piece of reunion music
has Ieen published by 0. X.
Houck & Co., of Memphis, and
Little Rock. For originality and
brilliancy it can not be excelled.
It is called the gu. G. V. March, "
a two-step, composed by Theo. H.
Northrup, and dedicated to the
United Confederate Veterans.
From a musical as well as an
artistic viewpoint this produc-
ton, issued espec tally for the
coming reunion, is masterpiece,
and one that will live in the mem
DRY of those that will live who
hear it from scores of bands and
orchestras here during the great
gathering. The contrast of the

the conclusion is where the COM
poser has shown his art.
The cover is a beautiful thing,
wrought in the old Confederate
colors. The top of the sheet is
adorned with a Confederate stand
ard, with the letters ~. G. v"
in blue. Below this are the por-
traits of Gems. Robert E. Lee and
Nathan Bedford Forrest. To the
right of this is q fac-simile of the
Confederate emblem-the famous
reunion button. Two sheathed
swords and a branch of olive are
emblematic of the eternal peace
of the old North and South, Sec
tions that no longer exist, and
this effect is heightened by a
furled flag. shattered drum and
a dismounted field gun at the
base of the two portraits. 1t is a
work of art and a credit to the
designer. - Evening Scimitar

Mr.. VIM. H. Murray, Secretary

ment of Kentucky River, 1881
East Washington Street, Louis
vile, Ky:
Sir-Your letter of the 9th in
slant. addressed to the Secretary
of War and relating to the COM
pletion of the Kentucky River
Improvement, has been referred
to this Office.
The appropriations authorized
by the river and harbor act of
June 3, 1896, will not be sufficient
to complete the improvement.
There is now on hand balance
of about $3.50, 10000, and there
remains to be appropriated in
sundry civil acts under the
authority of June 3, 1896, $3.50,
10000. Work under the existing
balance and under the $500, 600. GO
yet to be appropriated will be
pushed forward as rapidly as con-
ditions permit. A contract is
just being made for the construc-
tion of lock No. 9, and prelim-
mary work in connection with
locks Nos. 10, IL, II, ID, and ID
is under way.
1t is reported, however, by the
officer in local charge liz his an
nuaI report for last year, that the
limit of authorized appropria-
tions will be reached before the
last four locks are we'll under
way. Estimates of the amount
required to fully complete this
improvement were given in the
last annual report of the Chief of
Engineers and will be again placed
before Congress at its next ses-
sion.
To permit of the completion of
this work under continuing con-
tract will require additional legis-
lation by Congress authorizing the
Secretary of War to enter into
contract for the additional work
required.
By direction of the Chief of En-
gineers,
Very respectfully your obedient
servant,

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. S--The Louisiana
Sugar Exchange has Joined the American
Cane Growers Association IN a protest
to the Treasury Department against It's
ruling that Russian sugar imported 70 this
country is not subject 10 the payment OF
a countervailing duty under the tariff, as
in the case with German and French su-
gar, on the ground that there is no direct
bounty on sugar exported from Russia.
The Louisiana and Texas growers allege
that there is an indirect II not direct
bounty on exported Russian sugar, and
that the law takes into consideration this
indirect bounty as we'll as the direct
bounty. The effect of the ruling of the
Treasury Department. it is asserted, has
been to ipjure the Louisiana planters

preston caused il the price OF sugar by
imports from Russia. and the protest de-
clares that if the ruling be made Fer

This is only one of the preliminary steps
in what promises 10 be an exceedingly
spirited battle between the Vice Presi-
dent-elect's neighbors, on the one
hand and the enterprising sand

the outset q grave question as TO the
right Of the War Department to extend
its Jurisdiction over navigabIe waters and
their unrestricted use for maritime pur-

It appears tnat some time ago Walter
B. Starr submitted 10 the War Depart

and dredge in front Of his property at
Oyster Bay, in order that he might profit
by the disposal Of large quantities OF sand
which serves no purpose at that point
save to impede navigation and perha ps
provide tempting resting place for the

In the course OF the red tape of the
