BACK TO SCOTLAND
The Remains of Hector Macdonald
Will Be Sent

Paris, March 26-The body of Major
General Sir Hector Macdonald, who
committed suicide here yesterday, was
removed today to the British mortuary
chapel, where it will await shipment to
its final resting place in Scotland The
French law requires that the bodies of
suicides be taken to the morgue, but
owing to the urgent desire of the Brit
ish officials that the body of the dis
tinguished officer be not deposited in
the public morgue the usual legal re-
Quirement was waived.
It was said at the British embassy
that no orders have been received from
London concerning the disposition of
the body and it is expected that the
family of the deceased viii make the
final arrangements. Both the officials
Of the British embassy and the con-
sulate general of Great Britain disclaim
any knowledge of the existence of the
letters which were reported to have
been found in the room where the gen
eral killed himself Mr.. Ingles, the
British consul general, said to the As
ISOLATED Press correspondent:
7 have been personally assured by
the commissary of police that no such
letters have been found"
There is evidently a desire on the part
of the officials to shield the memory of
the general out of sympathy for his
family

THE great fight over the Cuban
treaty i'm the senate was due" says the
Buffalo News. ITO the opposition Of the
sugar interests to any legislation that
favored the Introduction of a product
that might in any degree compete with
the native product, whether of cane or
beets. Republican opponents stood on
the ordinary grounds of protection or
on selfish grounds of the interest of
their district. but Democratic antagon-
fists stood on wholly selfish propositions
They cared nothing for principle or the
country at large but everything for
their own constituents. Thus it appears
that the strongest speeches on the
opposition side in the senate debate
were made by Democratic senators
claiming for the industries Of their
states the benefit that Republicans seek
for the nation at large. Mr. Foster of
Louisiana headed the speakers list and
made the ablest speech Of his life to
defeat the measure yet he belongs to
the party that is forever crying out
against protection in all it's forms. He
wants it to the limit Of it's virtue when
ii drops its blessings on him and his
district or state. but in all other in
stances he opposes it. And thus it hap
pens that the country no longer takes
seriously the endless Democratic chatter
about revenue reform"
