SENATOR DANIEL TALKS.
Says Supreme Court is Not Unfriend-
 ly to South.

Washington, Oct. 1-(Special )-Senator John W. Daniel was in Washington to- day en route to his home fin Virginia from a visit to Gettysburg battlefield. Senator Daniel has acceded to the request of friends that he write a description of Pickett's charge at Gettysburg. and is en- gagged in preparing the article. He is re- ceiving much correspondence on the sub tect from surviving participants in the great struggle representing both sides. and having visited the scene, it Is believed the brilliant Virginian will present a striking story of the heroic dash of the 5000 men in Gray upon the imperenable heights.
 Senator Daniel said that the new V,r- ginia constitution was now in operation and giving general satisfaction. Incident. ally, he said. he was glad to learn that Senator Carmack had disclaimed any tn- tention of introducing a bill for the re- peal of the Fifteenth amendment, and that the question was one which 1t would be wise to let alone, especially while the regulation of suffrage qualification by the States was not interfered with from the outside. The attitude of the Supreme Court had been not unfriendly to this right of regulation. and was now the bulwark of safety for intelligent suff- rage in the South. R. H. Watkins

as 1t fought the political oligarchy with


 Jefferson"
 It denounces the trusts "as monopolies made by law entrenched behind a pro- hibitive tariff, buttressed by subsidies and special rates, plundering our people with the one hand. while with the other they reach for conquest, and sell their pro- duct cheap abroad that they may sell it dear at home"
 It continues: We despise that hypoc- racy which outdoes populism in placing the treasury money at the Service of fa- vored banks and breaks laws to favor Wall street spectators. We favor imme- diate regulation of trusts under the in- terstate commerce and taxation powers of congress. and the admission free of duty or articles controlled by the trusts on raw materials of manufacture and the necessities of life
 Third. We condemn the policy of con- quest and subjugation. We demand that Cuba be treated as we promised: we de- mand that the Philippines be treated like Cuba.
 Fourth. Reciprocity with Canada. long the hope of Massachusetts, must soon be achieved or abandoned forever.
 Fifth. We hold that the principles of civil service reform should not be de- serted by an official, however high or for political exigency, however great. Unit. ed States senators should be elected by the people and not by legislatures packed or corrupted"
 It further demands State and national legislation on behalf of labor; condemns the abuse of some Federal courts of high writ of injunction. favors tribunals for voluntary arbitration in labor disputes with powers to enforce their decrees condemns lynching everywhere and ia. vors, an early declaration of our pur- poses. and opposes the repeal of the Four teenth or the Fifteenth amendment.
 The convention was called to order by Congressman McNary. chairman of the State Central Committee. He was made temporary chairman and announced the committees.

Ford Derby could be very absent
minded, and once on a time he walked
with Lord Clarendon, his opponent,
and told him all the secrets Of the cabi-
net. Lord Clarendon listened amazed,
but thought it too large an order when
he was'asked for his advice. 1t was not
for him to counsel his political foes. At
this fntimation Lord Derby woke up,
saying, Really, I thought all the time
4 was talking to a, colleague" He had
continued, hardly recognizing the fact,
a controversy he had been having with
other ministers at the foreign Office. or
course Lord Clarendon honorably pre-
served the cabinet secrets, but he told
his story against Lord Derby and made
a laugh.

THE CEDARS OF LEBANON.

Now Remain.

Only a Few of These Historic Trees
Now Remain.
There are only about 400 cedars of
Lebanon now remaining high up on the
rocky slopes. Hadrian sculptured his
imperial anathema against all who
should cut these sacred trees; the Marc
mite peasants almost worship them and
call them the "cedars of the Lord" and
a recent governor Of the lebanon has
surrounded them by a S.eat wall so
that the young shoots may not be In
jnred by rowing animals. Yet. century
by century. their number grows less.
But If the cedars are few In number
these few are Of royal blood. They
are not the largest of trees. though
some Of. the trunks r,easure over forty
feet around. Their beauty lies in the
wide spreading limbs, which often COW
er a circle 200 or 300 feet in circumfer-
ence. Some are tall and symmetrical,
with beautiful horizontal branches:
others are gnarled and kpotted, with
inviting seats in the great forks and

Perhaps the unusual strength and vi

slow growth. When a little sproat

is hard to tell exactly. BY the aid OF

the matter more deeply think that some

ceiver as complimentary to him:

be warm must buy wood. Third, I &C

BREAK IN THE RANKS.
Textile Workers Returning at Phiiadel.
- phia Mills.


Philadelphia, July 1.-THE first
break in the strike of the textile work
ers in the kensington district &C.
Cured during the day when seventy
i've weavers returned to work in the
mills of F. A. Bachman & Co., who
operate two of the largest plants in
that section. At the Folwell mill 674
hands are said to have reported for
duty. The manufacturers, express
their determination to grant no con-
cessions and it is more than likely that
the strike will continue until the end
of the summer. The strike leaders
claim the few OBJECTIONS which have
occurred are not important and that
the great majority of the $4,000 strik-
ers will remain idle until their de-
mandS are granted
