GEN. HENRY EYD DOUGLAS
DEAD AT HAGERSTOWN
Noted Confederate Commander, Author
and Jurist, Passes Away After Long
Illness, Aged GO Years.

HAGERSTOWN. Md, Dec. 19.-Gen.
Henry Kyd Douglas, the noted Confed-
crate general. author and jurist. died
here last night after a long illness, aged
sixty-six years. He was born at Shep-
herdstown. w. Va, and was graduated
at Franklin and Marshall College at a
time when James Buchanan, afterward
President of the United States, was a
member of the faculty.
He enlisted at Harpers Ferry in the
Confederate army as a private in Com
pany y of the noted "StOnewall'' Jack
son Brigade. He took Part in the battle
of Bull Run. and for his bravery was
promoted until he rose to be a captain
In March, 1862. he made a ride of 103
miles in order that General Ewell might
at once join Jackson. This ride became
celebrated in history. Horses were
changed five times, and the ride was
made through rain and mud. on his
return he was promoted TO inspector
general by Stonewall jackson. with
whom he served in every battle. At
Gettysburg he was seriously wounded
and was in prison nine months.
His brigade was the last to surrender
Douglas was wounded nine times. He
was arrested while being taken TO prison
and put in the penitentiary with the
assassins through whom the murder Of
Lincoln was effected. A soldier who
twice deserted said he saw Douglas talk
with Booth. the assassin of Lincoln.
The deserter proved a fraud and Douglas
was released.

TREATY WITH CHINA
RATIFIED BY SENATE

The Chinese commercial treaty. which
is expected TO have part in Fastening
the arrangement OF the Manchurian sit
uation, was ratified by the Senate In
executive session shortly before ad-
journment late yesterday afternoon.
The most noteworthy incident OF the
debate was the stand taken by Sena-
tors on the effect OF the Russian posi-
ton on the treatys provisions. Mr..
Nelson Of Minnesota and others criti-
cised the treaty as making insufficient
provision for the trade OF this country.
He declared that as the ports of Muk-
den and Antung are inland ports, ac-
cessible only TO light draft vessels, the
new opportunities for extending Ameri-
can trade We're slight in comparison with
what this country ought TO have. He
blamed RUSSIA for hampering this coun-
try's efforts to get better consideration
from China.
Senator's Lodge. Morgan. CuIlom. and
others thought immediate action essen
1al 10 protecting this country's interests
and felt the treaty would prove an en-
tering wedge for greater concessions in
the future There was no call for the
cas- and nays, and without division the
treaty was ratified.

ordinary workingman has to compete,
under unrestricted immigration, with
French Canadians who come into the
country as temporary means of
earning money, wages here being
higher than they are in French Can
ada, and go home to spend it; with
Polacks who herd together in board
ing houses and novels, and spend per-
haps ten cents a day for food; with
Italians who do not in any circum-
stances assimilate with the native
population, and are not permanent
settlers, focking here and there ac-
cording to the demand for cheap la
Dor on railroads and other works, and
knowing nothing of the customs OF
the country. All these competitors
could be kept out by a test which
should exclude illiterates, and most Of
them are only valuable elements of
American population when they take
up land and settle down as farmers,
which they cannot dc in New England,
owing to the price of land and their
rnfamihaIity with the methods neces-
sary to raise crops in that region.
On Western ranches, or in the great
expanse of territory settled by pio-
reers WHO have bought farms, litter
acy is not so serious a disadvantage,
since, in this generation, practical
knowledge of farming is better than
book knowledge. All the time of the
settler is taken up with clearing and
working his farm, and his children
will III any event be educated on
American soil.
In New York the immigrant with
out money or knowledge Of books
simply helps to crowd the tenements
and increase the pauper problem, be-
sides lowering the price of labor as
he does in New England.
A property qualification in an i'm
migration law would keep out nearly
all of the immigrants undesirable in
any section of the country, and take
some of the difficulties out of the pau
per problem 1t is not a perfect So
luton of the puzzle, but it seems to
be the best possible at present.

The Anomalous Conditions Prevailing

in Certain Parts of the Country.
1t is freely predicted that the
Northern Securities case will be as
much discussed and be as important
III the legal history of the country as
was the bred Scott decision of by
gone generation and this seems by no
means improbable The defense Of
the railroads rests partly on the as
sumption that it is wrong for the Gov
eminent to interfere in any way with
individual enterprise, end that even
interference with monopoly cannot be
justified, because it takes initiative,
brains, and individual capital to es-
tablish one.
Against this more or less prevalent
idea may be set the feeling created by
the actual workings of monopoly In
various parts of the country. Take,
for instance, &c case of a typical
railroad monopoly which controls
traffic in certain Northern States. 1t
is well enough known that the railroad
men control the Legislature in at least
enc of those States; that no man can
be elected a mGnlber OF that body I'M
less approved BY the railroad. 1t is
also known that their service is. in
point of cleanliness, time and COM
fort, one of the worst in the country.
But there is nothing which the people
can do about it. 1t is impossible for
them to discard the railroad as
means of getting from one pant of the
country to the other, or as a means of
transporting their goods. They must
take what the directors choose to give
them. Is the individuality of the peo-
pie in the region through which this
railroad runs of no account Is ir-
responsible control of transportation
facilities, the Legislature, and any
ether interests connected with rail
road matters in exact accord with rep
resentative government These are
rcatters which will have to be settled
some day, and perhaps it is as well to
be considering them now.
