AMERICANS AND ENGLISH
ON CORDIAL RELATIONS

NEW YORK. Sept. 10.-Most cordial re-
lations have been established between the
British and American generals attending
the maneuvers of $4,000 German troops
near Frankfort-On-Oder, cables the Lon
don correspondent of The Tribune.
Generals Young and French naturally
interest each other as cavalry leaders and
Lord Roberts and General Corbin are
good companions, although not well
matched in stature. General Hamilton,
being an outspOken and racy talker, also
pleases the Americans. Generals Wood
and KellyKenny are practical men OF me
ability and good organizers.
The British generals, being field mar
shals and lieutenant generals, outrank
the two American major generals ana
Brigadier General Wood and have pre-
cedence in presentations and court func-
tions.
General Corbin and the other Amer
leans are particularly impressed with the
ability Of Count Waldersee. The ma
neuvers probably will confirm the impress
sions Generals Corbin and Young formed
at the preliminary parades, namely. that
the superiority of the German cavalry Is
due to the systematic arrangements for
breeding horses for military purposes, and
that the German regimental method OF
artillery organization is workmanlike and
tends 20 consecrate the fire Of guns with
overwhelming effect. The American gen.

The president told OF his trip over the
battlefield OF Chickamauga yesterday. and
drew a lesson of the herOism shown by
the armies OF the north and south. The
men who composed these armies, he said
possessed the requirements OF which good
citizens are made. He referred to the in
scriptlon on the monument raised by Ken

battlefield. He read the inscription as fol-
lows:
'As we are united in life and they united

tarium. Late in the afternoon an old
friend of Mr.. Grady, while passing
through City Hall park. came face to face
with the man. The friend Immediately
recognized and spoke 20 Mr.. Grady, but
was unable to obtain from him any sign
of recognition and 1t was apparent that
he was unable to care for himself.
Others who have long known Mr. Grady
were sent for, but none was able to arouse
him from his heavy lethargy. To inquiries
he said that his name was Grady, and he
mumbled something about Boston, indi-
eating that he thought he was in that city
He also spoke of trying to find a boat to
take him home Mention of his wife and
baby had no effect upon him.
From his appearance Mr.. Grady must
have been wandering ever since he left
his wife last Friday. His face was COW
evered with a five days growth of beard,
and though he is by nature most scrupu-
lous in his personal appearance, he was
when found yesterday extremely emacia-
ted, and though he refused food, he had
the physical appearance of one who had
tasted for a week. The physicians who
examined him last night said that it was
impossible to tell until after observation
that would last several days what chances
he has of recovery. They admitted that he
is In a serious condition, and that the ut
most care will be required to return him
to health under the most favorable con-

HOW HENRY GRADY
DISAPPEARED IN NORFOLK

Henry w. Grady, one of the most prom
inent young men in Atlanta's business and
social eircles-a recent member of the city
council, disappeared Friday morning, at
Norfolk, Va, and for several days his
family and friends had not the slightest
knowledge of his whereabouts.
Mr.. Grady has recently been a great
sufferer from hay fever, and several days
ago with his wife and three-year-old boy
went east with the hope that the change
in climate might help him. After spend
ing a few days in New York Mr.. Grady
decided to return to Atlanta, by way of
Norfolk. Accordingly on Tuesday night
with his family he left New York on one
of the Old Dominion steamers. The sea-
trip greatly benefited him, at least tenn
poraily, for he told his wife that the sea
air gave him the first real curcease from
pain that he had enjoyed.
On Friday Mr.. and Mrs. Grady decided
to return to Atlanta and Mr.. Grady Fri
day morning left his wife and child for the
purpose of securing sleeping car accom-
modations for the return trip home.
Since that time nothing had been seen
or heard of him up to Wednesday after
noon, when he was found in City Hall
square, New York.
When, after a reasonable length of time.
Mr. Grady had not returned, his wife be-
came alarmed and instituted search LOT
him. After twelve hours had elapsed and
no trace Of the missing man could be
found Mrs. Grady telegraphed for her
brother-in-law, Eugene Black, solicitor OF
the city court Of Atlanta.
Two days later Mr.. Black. realizing that
as thorough a search as possible had been
made of Norfolk and its environs, sent
Mrs Grady and her young son back TO At
lanta. and he went himself to New York,
where. with his brother, Mr. w. H. Black,
a thorough search of the metropolis was
instituted.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept y.-Henry w
Grady. of Atlanta, Ga, has mysteriously
disappeared in this city, and though the
police of this and other cities have been
searching for him for four days, they
have as vet been unable to find any trace
of the missing man. When last seen Mr..
Grady, with his family, was in Norfolk.
They arrived here last Thursday morning
on the Old Dominion Steamship compa-
nys ship from New York. Mr.. Grady, his
wife, child and maid registered at the
Monticello hotel Immediately upon the ar
rival of the steamer.
After breakfast Friday morning Mr..
Grady left the hotel ostensibly to go to
general offices of the Seaboard Air Line
railway in Portsmouth for the purpose of
arranging for transportation for himself
and family to Atlanta. That was the last
time he was seen by his family or friends.

ference to induce the house conferees
to yield some point to the senate, and,
having been used in this way, would
be stricken out of the bill. Senator
Aldrich and Senator Quay both made
propositions Of this sort to the minor
ity with reference to number OF
things. The bill was loaded down with
things in which the constituents of
Mr.. Aldrich were especially interested,
the Rhode Island senator giving a
distinct assurance that there was no
purpose to retain them in the bill and
that the senate conferees would yield
to the house and have them stricken
out of the measure as reported from
conference.
According to a statement of Mr..
Dingley, the auunor of the bill, SIM
liar scheme of putting into the bill
excessively high duties or duties which
ought not to be authorized at all, so
that they might be trade on in con-
ference and finally stricken from the
bill, was adopted and put into practice
by the republican managers of the
house. Thus the measure was loaded
down in both the house and senate
with things which no one defended or
even regarded as tolerable, all OF
which, by mutual understanding, were
to be stricken out before the measure
should be enacted into law. But the
hOuse adopted the senate amendments
to the Dingley bill without action by
conference, and al those things which
it was declared were put into 1t only
temporarily, to be stricken out by con-
ference, became a part of the law.
very distinctly remember Mr.. Quay's
efforts to secure the temporary adOp-
ton of the anthracite coal duty and
his assurance that it would not be all
lowed to remain in the bill when en-
acted into a law"
The law which the republicans de-
clare is so perfect that it would be
monstrous to amend it is thus replete
with items in which the duties are Of
such a character that there never was
and could not be an attempt to de-
fend them, even by the men at whose
instance they were Temporarily put
into the bill.
The bill that was put through con-
gress by such fraud and trickery and
under which the trusts have been able
to charge American citizens SO per cent
more for goods than they sold the same
goods for to foreigners, will stand as
long as the republicans hold power.

THAT SACRED TARIFF LAW
How Quay and Aldrich Tricked Moderate
Republicans and Democrats-But
Hanna SAYS all Must "Stnnd Pat'

That the Dingley rates are some
thing almost sacred, that they were
worked out after much labor, that they
are in reality as nearly perfect as
anything human can be, has been the
slogan of all the republican leaders
except the Cummins faction in Iowa.
The fact is that it is the worst hotch-
potch of a tariff bill that was ever en-
acted. Scores of items were put into
it with no thought that they would
ever become law and the way they did
become law was one of the dirtiest
tricks ever played upon confiding men.
Ex-senator James l.. Pugh of Ala
bama, who was in the senate when
the Dingley bill was passed, made the
following statement, with the declara-
tion that he would if necessary, sup
port it by oath and that it would not
be disputed by those in the senate
cognizant Of the conditions attending
the passage of the Dingley act:
Senator Quay came over to the
democratic side of the senate during
the consideration of this part of the
bill (tariff on anthracite) and stated
to democratic senators that he wanted

his interests in Pennsylvania, that it
would not be adopted with a view of

would be a thing to trade on in con-

AS was said at the beginning, The

mind to proper realization of the i'm
portance of doing something-and do

be for good. But it is possible that it
may have the effect of discouraging

them Mr.. Client has compiled table
showing the increase of farm tenantry.
For Nebraska the figures are:
18S0-Per cent of tenants. ..... 18.
1890-rer cent of tenants. ...... 24.7
1900-Per cent of tenants. ...... 36.9
In other words, Nebraska has slight
ly more than the average percentage
of tenants, and there are more than
twice as many of them, in proportion
to the number of farms, as there were
in 1880. At this rate by 1910 about So
per cent of Nebraska farms will be
operated by tenants.
