THE DAUGHTERS AT COLUMBUS.
Miss Rutherford Speaks Good
Word for Booker Washington.

Miss Rutherford Speaks a Good
Word for Booker Washington.
Columbus, Ga, Oct 31.-The morn
ing session of the Daughters of the
Confederacy was devoted to routine
work. Reports of work and condition
of various chapters were read, making
an excellent showing for each OF them.
The report of Miss Rutherford of Ath-
ems, historian of the Georgia division,
was especially interesting. Miss Ruth
erford spoke a good word for the work
of Booker Washington among the ne
groes and deprecated that blame should
be attached to him for social atten-
tions shown him by people of the
North. In accepting invitations. she
said, she did not think Washington
considered the question of social equal
ity.
Miss Rutherford congratulated the
society that so much good work had
been accomplished in wedding out i'm
proper and partial books and histories
in schools of the South and promised
that efforts in this direction would be
prosecuted with energy and yigor in
the future.
At the close of the morning session
an elegant luncheon was rendered the
convention by the Oglethorpe chapter
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution. The lunch was in the Court
House. and was much enjoyed. A
pleasant feature of the session was the
introduction of Miss Loretta Chappell
Miss William Voolfolk, Miss Jane
Morton. and Mrs. Rosa Tickner, the
only surviving members of the Sol
diers' Aid Society, which suggested and
originated the custom of memorial day
in the South.
The daughters of Gen. Henry L. Ben
ming, "Old Rock were also presented
to the convention. This afternoon a
memorial to Lizzie Rutherford Ellis.
1.-The Mother of Memorial Day" was
unveiled with appropriate exercises.
The address was made by Hon. Lionel
C. Levy. the silver tongued orator of
the South. The most important work
of the convention will come up to-mor-
row.
The attendance includes many of
Georgia's most gifted women.

! patches of this subject, stating the
dates on which they were received. He
said the orders were not communicated
ia Commodore Schley.
Mr.. Rayner questioned Capt. Chad
wick at some length concerning the de-
tails of the conversation between Nd
miral Sampson and Commodore Schl=y
at Key West on May IS, but the wit
ness insisted that he had given in his
previous testimony, in which he had
said that Commodore Schley had pro-
fessed absolute loyalty to Admiral
Sampson, the only actual detail of the
conversation which he could recall. He
was sure, he said, that if anything had
been said on that subject he would re-
call the fact.
Capt Chadwick said it was impos-
sible that a conversation regarding or
ders not to expose the ships to bat
teries should not have impressed itself
ON his mind.
"Why that any more than anything
else?" asked Mr.. Rayner.
simply because ii was so out of ac-
cord with Admiral SIMPSONS views
and ideas. 1t never could have occur
red to him to advise a subordinate to
act differently from the way in which
he had acted in regard in firing at bat
teries
Capt. Chadwick said Admiral Samp-
son had bombarded San Juan under
that order.
Mr.. Rayner asked the witness If he
did not think that in view of the fact
that Admiral Schley was going to Glen
fuegos and Santiago, 1t was not likely
that Admiral Sampson would give him
the purport of the governments mes
sage.
Spanish Guns of No Account.
The reply was: 1--WE knew those
places were not fortified. that there
were no guns to be taken into ac-
count"
did you know that the batteries at
Santiago were of no account"
Our information was that they did
not amount to much. The st. Paul
and the Wompatuck bombarded those
batteries without injury on the 18th of
May two perfectly unprotected ships"
What was developed subsequently
by the New Orleans in bombarding the
forts near Santiago?" asked Capt.
Lemly
"She was ordered in one morning by
Admiral Sampson to attack the bat
teries. She went in alone and was
under fire some twenty or twenty five
minutes. and came out uninjured."
did the Texas do the same thing?"
"She was struck once"
WAS she injured?"

mony at 1855 o'clock, when the court
adjourned

ROOSEVELT WANTS HORSES.
He Finds Difficulty i'm Getting Good
Carriage Animals.

Washington, Oct. 31.-President
Roosevelt is experiencing considerable
difficulty in securing carriage horses
to suit him. Since the three which
were purchased in New York on APP
prevail were returned some time ago
he has tried several, but none of them
have measured up to his standard. A
fine span of Virginia horses was sent
him a few days ago. They had size.
style and gait, but when tried on the
hard asphalt streets of Washington
their feet were found to be too tender
and it was feared that if purchased
they would soon become practically
useless. Accordingly they were reject
ed. The President will continue to
use the government horses until he
finds exactly what he wants.

WEST POINT, y. Y, June 3.-The sec
ond day of the examinations and exhibi-
ton drills before the Board of Visitors

horsemanship we're performed by the
cadets and the final charge was wildly
applauded At $50 the cadets made ex-
cellent records as marksmen at the rifle
ranges at the butts near the river. At 6
o'clock an exhibition drill with Sailing

Justice White declares for himself ana
Justices Shiras and McKenna that they

Justice Brown, it comes very near Delhg
an intimation that Justice Brown does
not understand the logical effect OF ms
own reasoning, and that he nad got
on the wrong side of the case. Ana
there are many who win be strongly IN
clined to take this view, Cor nothing
can be more certain than chat Justice
Brown was wrong either Ill the de Lima
case or in that of Downes VS.. Bid
well. Upon the whole, his action in
the first named case must be regarded
as by far the more logical and salts
factory. for his course in the Downes
case does not even commend itself to
the justices who unite with him in the
judgment.
In order to avoid the force of his
own argument in the de Lima case,
Justice Brown simply splits hairs, or,
as Justice Harlan might say, he jug
| -les with words in the Downes case.
| He attempts to distinguish between ter
ritcry that is part of the United States
| and that which is merely subject to
! the Jurisdiction of the United states.
! This distinction. if it exists, was quite
! as ESSENTIAL in the de Lima case; but
SO far from making it h expressly
negatives it by declaring that by the
! cession of the Treaty of Paris, Porto
| Rico became territory of the United
States, as absolutely as if the anneXa-
! ton were made by act of Congress-
| In short, when Mr. Justice Brown
! looked at Porto Rico from the stand
point of the Dingley law. he saw 1t as
! American territory, pure and simple:
| but the moment he glanced at it in
! the light of the FOraker-Payne act it
underwent a Kaleidoscope change and
became not actually foreign territory,
but merely territory subject to the
| Jurisdiction of the United States Such
a distinction is worse than Juggling
! with words'-it is a fat self-contra-
! diction. BY the de Lima decision the
duties collected upon Porto Rico prod
ucts were not held to be Illegal because
| Porto Rico was subject 20 American
Jurisdiction, but because the island was
American territory. 1t is impossible tc
give the language of that opinion any
other Interpretation without pervertina
its sense.
Small wonder is it that the Adminis-
tration is reported as being perpieXet
and confused by these conflicting de
cisions, and that the Attorney Genera
is Iaboring to reach an understanding
of what they actually mean. Admins
