CONFEDERATE DEAD At ARLINGTON.
Reasons for Reintering in the Ma
tional Gemstery---7hose Who Died
In the North.

Washington, May 1.-THE bodies of
Confederate soldiers which are now in
tered in various parts of the District
of Columbia, are to be brought togeth-
er and buried in one plot at the Ma
tional Cemetery at Arlington, Just
across the river from the city. A
beautiful section of the cemetery has
been selected for this purpose plot
containing about 311a acres situated
south Of the broad avenue gate on the
western side Of the cemetery. The
graves will be arranged within circle
surrounding mound upon which Will
be placed flowers and shrubbery, and
the remainder of the plot will be
planted with similar growths, includ-
ing trees native to southern soil. Bids
for the work of removal have been re-
ceiYed by the War Department, and
the contract will soon be awarded.
When the subject was first mooted,
it met with favor from nearly every
body, but later some objections arose,
probably through misunderstanding
as to what was to be done. The law
providing for the removal Of the bodies
was enacted by congress at the in
stance of several prominent Southern.
ers, including Senator Cockrell of
Missouri, and ex-secretary Herbert of
Alabama, and has been endorsed by
the Southern Relief Association, and
by the Confederate Veterans Associa
tion of this city. The characters Of
these would seem to indicate that
the general sentiment of the Confede-
rate veterans throughout the entire
country is harmonious in favor Of
the burials at Arlington.
The Confederates naturally preferred
to take care of the cemeteries in the
south themselves, but knew it is be-
yond their power to remove or even
care for the 3O,000 or more buried at
various places in the North. Hence
their appreciation from their hearts
for the sentiments expressed by the
President when he recommended that
Congress should care for these. Mrs.
R. N Rudolph of the Virginia Monu-
ment Association, who is now protest
ing against the movement, admirably
covered the question when she wired
General Lee May 10, from Richmond:
while the graves of our dead must
not be taken from Us, we would have
an appropriation from the government
for those buried in cemeteries at the
North as we have appealed in vain
to their comrades to care for the 3d.
600 buried there The Southern
Monument Association had not the
money either then or now to remove
all these bodies, as the members say
they wish to do In time. Such remov-
al would require no less than 81, OO0,-
600.
In order to remove all possibility of
objection, the carrying into effect Of
the bill was postponed from last fall
and list of the dead published so
that their relatives might be given an
opportunity to remove their own to
any preferable burying ground, if de-
sired. The list was published through
out the South, but as not single re-
quest appeared up to March l it was
deemed expedieut to proceed with the
work.

John T. Dulaney, of Sommers Mill,
Bell Copnty, Tex, in a letter to the
Southern Farm Magazine suggests
planting the black walnut for shade,
oruarpent or its fruit He says
"Seventeen years ago Z planted wal
nuts 10 feet apart for half mile on
the public road Nearly every nut
came up, and the trees made such a
dense shade that this winter | had
them trimmed and topped. The trunks
average a foot in diameter at the
ground. The walnut does not draw
the substance from the growing crop as
much as other kinds of trees. At this
time probably wagon load OF nuts;
could be gathered under these trees. y
Our public roads for the most part,
need shading badly. Perhaps better
tree than the walnut could not be
found for the purpose. 1t is little
trouble to plant the nuts, and thas
counts for much in communities
which will not take any extra trouble
with trees, and when grown, as noted,
the trees are valuable for their shade
and nuts, as we'll as for their wood.
The species has been nearly destroyed
in this State and should be renewed.

English Army Reform.

London, May 16.-In winding up the
debate on the army bill in the House
of Commons today Mr.. Balfour, the
Government leader, denied that there
was any large body of opinion hostile
to the scheme of Mr.. Broderick, the
secretary of state for war. Mr.. Bal
four contended that it would be i'm
possible to get unanimity among
the soldiers on any scheme of reform
and said that the objections to the
proposed scheme were fantastic and
groundless. Mr.. Brodericks' scheme
was then adopted by vote of 305 to
1853.
In the course of his speech Mr..
Balfour made the sensational state
ment that, at one moment toward the
end of 1899, there were in Great Brit
ain only $500 rounds of small arms
ammunition, with no reserve Of ar
tillery ammunition except what was
actually with the guns retained at
home.
Mr.. Balfour made the revelation in
au attempt to fasten or the Liberals
negligence in the matter of military
supplies, pointing out that the last
Liberal Government went out of Office
as result of the Conservatives re-
vealing the insufficient supply of small
arms ammunition, which was then
90, 100000 rounds, instead OF 146, 600,
600, which the officials regarded as the
nominal reserve He declared that
the Conservative Government had
raised this reserve to 170, GOO, 600
rounds before the war broke out.
With reference to the dark period OF
the war Mr.. Balfour said: | went
though that period and so far as / am
concerned, I never mean to 60 through
like period nor to throw on my sue
cessors the risk of such a stain. -
The Liberal papers seize upon Mr..
Balfour's sensational statements IN
the House, referring to them as AN
amazing indiscretion. y The Daily
News says:
This shows how near to ruin Mr..
Chamberlain and his colleagues
brought the country.

are brash, they don't know much OF
the experiences of this country from
its discovery by the white face until
this time. They don't understand how
the foundations of this government
were laid, nor the plans by
which its good and wise
uen have builded its great

they trying to learn, by study OF the
past or inquiry of the sages Of the
present days. They are, in their
own conceit, pathfnders, and it's

dom either.

the father are visited upon the chill
dren even unto the third and fourth

MORE HELP ASKED FOR.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 13.-At a
meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Jacksonville Relief
Association this afternoon it was the
consensus of opinion that the amount
of money so far contributed lot the
relief of the fire sufferers was far from
ADEQUATE to meet the demands. and
President Garner of the relief associa-
ton, Bishop Weed of the Episcopal
diocese of Florida and Mayor Bowen
were appointed a committee to issue
an address to the people Of the United
States. The committee has issued the
following address:
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES:
We, the undersigned, representing
the people Of Jacksonville wish to ex-
press to the people of the United
States the heartfelt gratitude OF the
people of this city for the way IN
which they have responded to our
needs. The relief committee OF Jack
sonville sent out a statement some
davs ago in answer to the numerous
INQUIRIES which the committee have
received. It was then too soon to
estimate the extent of the damage or
to estimate the extent of the needs OF
the people. It is now ten days since
the great fire, and we are beginning
to realize the greatness Of the calam-
ity which has befallen US. We have
received many generous donations IN
the way of supplies of food and cloth
ing. but we find ourselves confronted
with the need of clearing away the
debris and maintaining order and dis
cipline. trying to prevent sickness and
of caring for those who are SICK. 1t
is impossible to render 10, 600 or more
people homeless without extreme SUI
fering: it is impossible to meet all the
cases of need at once. The sanitary
condition of the city must be perfect
ed and maintained, and unless we can
have the aid of the charitble people OF
the United States we are compelled
to acknowledge our inability to fully
cope with the situation. Only those
who have been in the city can realize
the nature of the distress OF many
who have been turned out of houses
and homes, can appreciatete danger
of sickness from the huddled condl-
ton of the people, making the sltua-
tion here alarming. It will take a
very large amount Of money at the
smallest estimate to care for the ac-
tual needs of the people and put the
city in proper condition. Our duty
compels Us to call upon the generous
and always ready people of this coun.
try for assistance in this our hour OF
need.

AMERICAS cup NOT IN DANGER.
Sir Thomas Lipton's New Boat
Beaten by Shamrock |.

Weymouth, May E+In weather con-
ditions all favorable for fair trial
with the wind fresh and steady, the
course clear of all distractions and no
tides of any consequence, the Sham
rock I, today beat Sir Thomas Lip
toms new boat by five minutes and
five seconds over triangular course OF
about 20 miles. The only possible dis
advantage to the challenger was IN the
fact that she used her old mainsall
which sits worse since its salt water
bath of Thursday. There were no dis
coverable holding back Of the challen-
ger, although once or twice she point
ed such course as left the suspicion
that the steersman was not taking ad-
vantage of every chance. There is no
doubt the result of today's trial was
distinctly Disappointing to those who
had pinned their faith to the new
challenger, especially as the Shamrock
/. on the previous spins had not
showed even quality with the new
racer on that point of sailing with the
exception of running.
MI. Watson considers today's results
so unsatisfactory that he decided OFT
hand to take the new boat back to
Southampton and to have her docked
in order to ascertain whether any OF
the plates were displaced by, the
grounding on Dean bank last week.
Opportunity VIII be taken to have
her new gaff and mainsail fitted.
The work will proceed night and day
mil II is finished and the trials will
then be resumed at Weymouth.

History Repeats Itself.

The Beers are the most herolc race
of people who have figured in modern
history. In the face of overwhelming
odds they have Kept up the fight and
are still keeping It up There is one but
parallel to it that we know Of in his
tory, and that Is the revolutionary pc
Rod in. the history Of this state after
the fall of Charleston when the State
was so completely overrEn and in the
power of the British that Sir Henry
Clinton turned over his command to
Lord CORVALLIS and wrote home:
81 may venture. to assert that there
are few men in South Carolina who
are not either our prisoners or in arms
with US.
Gen. McCra dy in his history of
South Carolina, which thas been re-
viewed by the Springfield, Mass, Re
publican, says of this period:
This was undoubtedly true. There
was not continental officer or sol
dier in the field. Lieut.. Col. Francis
Marion and Maj. Thomas Pinckney
had been sent out of Charleston, before
the surrender and had escaped into
North Carolina; so had Gen. Isaac
Huger. AL the rest of the South
Carolina continental officers, includ-
ing Gen. Moultrie, Col. c. c. Pinck-
ney and Col. John Laurens, were
prisoners, and their soldiers on prison
Ships in Charleston harbor The mi
litia were disbanded- Gov. Rutledge
had escaped into North Carolina.
Gadsden and his party of the council,
with Edward Rut1edge, Arthur Mid
dleton and Thomas Heyward, Jr., the
three surviving signers Of the Decla-
ration, and all other prominent men
of the low country in rebellion, were
prisoners of war IN Charleston. Raw
lins Lowndes had abandoned the
struggle and With the old men, Henry
Middleton and Gabriel Manigault, had
retired to their plantations and ac-
cepted the establishment Of British
rule. Henry Laurens, president of
the continental congress, was in Phil
adelphia preparing to sail for Holland,
and was soon to be captured at sea
and thrown into the Tower of Lon
don. The revolutionary party was
thus completely broken up
This State was more completely
overrun and subdued than the Trans
vaal and yet before a year rolled
around the British were driven from
every stronghold in the State and
cooped up in Charleston. Cowpens
and Kings Mountain had been
fought and won and the beginning OF
the end at Yorktown was in sight.
The Republican in reviewing Gen.
McCardy's excellent history on this
point goes on to say:
Let England compare this with her
costly situation in the Transvaal and
let Mckinley compare it with the con-
dition in the Philippines, and say. in
view of what happened in Carolina
soon after. under Sumter and Marlon
and Gen. Green, whether it is yet safe
to boast of final success in either OF
the shameful wars which the money
kings have forced upon weak nations,
contending with strong and unscrupu-
lous ones, and of which our admins
tration is the promoter. And let nov
elists gather up the incidents Of Tarle-
tons brutaities and Jacksons' boy
ish resistance to criminal aggression,
and Marion's adventurous dashes and
put them into a romance as Gilmore
Sims used to do.
