Monster Demonstration Was Made
Against Protection.

Monster Demonstration Was Made
Against Protection.
London, Nov. 24.-The Duke of De-
vonshire presided, and was the princi-
pal speaker at great demonstration
in Queens Hall here tonight, under
the auspices of the Free Food League.
The Duke of Devonshire outlined the
object of the constitution of the Free
Food League, which, he pointed out,
was formed a few months before the
governments declaration of its fiscal
policy, and, therefore, could not have
been formed for any pcrpose of hostil-
ity to the government.
The name of the league indicated the
purpose thereof. These might be differ
ences of opinion concerning the extent
to which retaliation might legitimate
ly go. Some members of the league
were not altogether opposed to some
form of operation; but they were all
united and prepared to resist to the ut
most the imposition of any protec-
ton on food. For himself, he claimed
the right to oppose anything in the ma
ture of a return to protection. =,
References to Joseph Chamberlain
were greeted with mingled cheers and
Kisses.
Lord Goschen moved the following
resolution, which was passed by an
overwhelming vote:
This meeting, while prepared to
consider in a friendly spirit any meas
ure the government may submit to
Parliament in special cases for mitigat-
ing the effects of hostile tariffs, is of
opinion that strenuous opposition
should be offered to any fiscal policy
involving the protection taxation of
food and the establishment of a general
preferential or protective system"

LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
COmmends the Proposed Jamestown
Exposition.

csKpOHItlOns
New York, Nov. 24.-The following
letter from former President Cleveland
was received to-day by Hugh Gordon
Miller of the jamestown, Va, Expo
sitiOn Company;
Princeton, N. j., Nov. %, 1903.-Hugh
Gordon Miller ESQ, New York: aft
er reading the prospectus of the James,
town Exposition Company and giving
more thought to the project it has in
keeping, 1 am thoroughly convinced
that the surfeit of expositions, which
have somewhat afflicted our country,
ought not in the least to interfere with
the success of the exposition planned
for the celebration of the first white
settlement upon the domain now en-
braced within the limit of the coun-
try we proudly call the United States.
I'VE have fittingly celebrated the
4OOth anniversary of the discovery of
America. The Booth anniversary of the
settlement of jamestown is hardly less
worthy of commemoration. A great
nation cannot bring TO mind it's small
beginning and its stupendous growth
through such a celebration as the
jamestown Exposition Company con-
templates without stirring in the
hearts of its people their best patriot
ism and the sincerest devotion to the
principles which have made this ma
thon great. And such patriotism and
such devotion so completely underlie
American institutions that their sound
ness and strength are absolutely neces-
sary to our strength and perpetuity.
Il hope, therefore, that nothing will
be lacking to make the exposition sue
cessful as an agency for the stimula-
t1on of our national pride and the in
crease of our faith in free institutions
(Signed) Yours truly, Grover Cleve-
land"

HAD MONEY BURIED.
The Earth the Bank of a LOwndes
County Negro.

County Negro.
Valdosta, Ga, Nov. PA story of
hidden treasure was brought to light
here a day or so ago when a negro
named Ben Pierce. from the Clyatte-
vile district, brought up $500 in coins,
most of them rusty from long conceal
ment in the ground, to pay for a small
farm which he had bought from w. T.
Lane of this city. Pierce has been
half-crOpper for many years and has
been saving money all of the time,
burying it in the ground where he
could get it ION demand" Last week
he closed a trade with Mr.. Lane for
his box of money to pay for it. There
was a large pasteboard box full of the
coin, and the negro admitted that he
had had it buried for several years.
The merchants at Ciyatteville say that
ne has brought rusty money there so
often to trade with that they sus-
pected that he had his money hid in
the ground.

One Negro Shot Another.
News was received here to-day of the
killing of a negro at Fargo by an
other negro, Tige Lewis. After the
killing Lewis went in the woods and
began his days work as If nothing
had happened, leaving the dead ne
gro on his porch to be carried off by
the neighbors. 1t seems that the ne
gro had been disturbing Lewis domes-
tic happiness and the latter moved
away from Baxter in order to avoid
the offender. In a few days the other
terday Lewis went to his house and
found the offensive negro on the porch
talking to his wife. Drawing his re-
volver, he fired three shots, any one
of which would have been fatal, and
then returned to his work in the
woods.
