GENERAL FITZ LEES PLANS.
He VIII Reside in Richmond, and
Mny Engage in business.

RICHMOND, Va, June Seen. Fitz-
hugh Lee is TO make his permanent home
here. General Lee has scores of friends.
and he has been anxious to return here
with his family since mis- term of Office
as Governor of Virginia expired.
In an interview on the subject yester-
day General Lee said:
4 have determined to make Virginia
my home, and win. in all probability,
purchase property in Richmond
There seems to be great difficulty, how
ever. in securing a residence such as I de
sire. For several months past 1 have
had friends here looking for a suitable
home. but so far they have been un-
successful in securing any desirable
property. Richmond must certainly be on
a boom. as I not only have been unable
to purchase a residence, but have been
equally unsuccessful in renting property.
Mrs Lee and myself viii spend the
next few days in going about the city
and in looking over the field. There is
no place that I would prefer living than
Richmond I want to spend the remaining
days of my life in this city. 1t may be
that in or Ter to secure a home I win have
to build I prefer. however, to purchase
property I'll ready for occupancy"
General Lee said that after locating here
It was his intention to enter some kind
f business. in this connection. he said:
My life has always been one Of the
greatest activity. and 1 am not satisfied
unless engaged in some kind of work I
shall certainly enter some business that
viii occupy my time as well as enable
me TO take care Of my "a 1njIy. As to
just what viii be the nature of my work
I am as yet undecided. 1 shall not come
to Richmond until some time in the late
fall or the early winter. Mrs Lee and
myself expect to spend the summer at
some quiet Northern resort. In the mean
time I shall make ali OF my plans for the
future"
General Lee st5H takes an active inter
est in politics. and the FIRST question he
asked when approached today was as to
the results of the several county cleo
tons. He is an ardent supporter of Mon
tague for Governor. It was suggested to
the general that he would probably again
enter the political arena, and in this con-
neetion he lau6hingly said:
at viii indeed hard for me to keep out
Of politics. All of my life L have taken
an active Interest In public affairs. and
VIII undoubtedly be found in the political
battles Of the future"
When asked If he would ever become a
/ candidate for Office. General Lee was non
committaI He, however did say that in
all probability his Business would occupy
too much of his tine for him to eFer
again occupy an of iaI or political Office
General and Mrs. Lee drove over the
| city this morning looking at the residen-
| tiaI section of the city. They. however,
( reached no conclusion as to where they
VIII locate. General Lee has aged but
little since he occupied the Governor
mansion, and says that he never felt bet

Pence News From south Africa.


We are told today that Lord Kitch-

are in conference at StandeTton, their
object being to see if the South African
war cannot be brought to an end upon
terms which the brave Beers can &C

finances, and the WEAKNESS of the world
concerning the struggle, all should sug-
gest to Lord Salisbury and his col
leagues the desirability Of offering al
most any reasonable concessions to the
Beers to induce them TO stop fighting.
The difficulty is, as it has been all
/ along, that the Dutch colonists cling
| with the fervor of our own American
/ ancestors to the idea of independence.
/ The impossibiiity of attaining that
