Roosevelt Wants to Honor Sons
of COnfederatea


A recent dispatch from Wash
ington says that the surprising
nomination of j. e. b. Stuart, Of
Portsmouth, Va, as marshal OF
the Eastern district of that State,
in place of Morgan Treat, whose
resignation was asked tor, is still
the talk In Southern Republican
circles there.
Its Significance is being sought,
but the fact that the President
consulted few people as to it and
acted quickly prevents a grea.
deal being known among the
Southern leaders. 1t is known,
however, that several reasons ami
mated the President.
The first is that he in tends to
make some radical changes in ap-
pointments to Federal positions in
the South, and the second is that
he wishes to show that he has no
hostility to Southern men who
participated in the Civil War, or
whose fathers were famous in that
struggle.
The principal reason for the APP
pointment of Mr.. Stuart was that
he is a son of General j. E. b.
Stuart, of Confederate cavalry
fame; that the President admires
the history of that intrepid lead
er. and, as far os possible, wishes
to honor his memory.
The next is that Mr.. Stuart
represents an element of the Demo-
cracy that broke away from old
time traditions several years ago
and stands ready to work for the
upbuilding of n Republican party
in the South.
Mr.. Stuart wa,a Democrat I'M
til 1906, when he broke away from
his party and voted for Mckinley.
He applied three years ago for the
office that has been given him, and
among his papers are the recon-
mendations of General Fitzhugh
Lee, Colonel j. S. Mosby, of Con-
federate guerrilla fame, and John
S. Wise, now of New York.
Mr. Stuart was captain OF
volunteers in the Spanish Ameri-
can war and was at one time COM
mander of j.. f. b. Stuart Camp,
Sons of Confederate Veterans at
Portsmouth.
The Presidents recognition of
the memories of Southern heroes
is shown in mere ways than by the
nomination of Mr.. Stuart. Several
weeks ago he announced it as his
intention to appoint the grandson
of "Stonewal." Jackson as cadet
at West Point.

day morning. Funeral services

Densed a generous hospitality.

referring to the report of Foreign Secre-

commercial treaty negotiations, asked how

The greatest wealth is accumulated in the
United States at the cost of the entire

States above all.
This agreed. Count Won Kanitz claimed
with what Chancellor Won Buelow formerly
said. Nevertheless. nothing whatever had
been heard indicating that treaty nego-
tiations with the United States had been
commenced. Won Kanitz expressed special
pleasure at the fact that the commercial
classes were beginning to see that the
present status of trace relations with the
United States cannot be continued. He
cited the yearly report of the Hamburg

Small Volume Of Business In Wall
Street-Demand for Erie and
Wabash Issues.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Opening prices of
stocks generally showed no decided change
today from last night, and many of the
most prominent stocks opened at last
nights quotations. The volume of bust
ness was very small. A feature of the
market was the transfer of 800 shares of
Wabash preferred at 38A and 39h. COM
pared with 3S1s last night. Consolidated
Gas rose IL.
Spirited selling followed, and intervals
of inanition and substantial fractional
losses were scored throughout. The west
erns, Pacific and Pennsylvania groups led
the decline under large offerings.
Liquidation of the Rubber Goods stocks
cost the common points and the pre-
ferred 21s. United States Rubber preferred,
Tennessee Coal, Metropolitan Street Rail-
way and Chicago Great Western preferred
"B'' were also a point or more lower. and
Consolidated Gas lost its rise.
The market hardened in the second hour.
some stocks rising higher than the open
ing. Erie and Wabash preferred were in
demand. Trading became very dull. and
prices yielded slightly. Consolidated Gas
rose over last night. Brooklyn Union
Gas lost ~ Northwestern and Pacific
Mail 2, and Delaware and Hudson and An
aconda point or over. Bonds were irreg-
ular at noon.
Erie continued to advance and gained a
point despite the complete absence of specu-
lative interest elsewhere. Rubber Goods
rallied point from the lowest. Virginia
Carolina Chemical fell IA.
The dealings in Erie monopolized the linn
tied trading for a time. or until a demand
for other prominent stocks was fostered by
it's steady absorption. st. Paul, Union Pa
cific and the Pennsylvania stocks lfvened
up and sold higher than at any time pre-
viously. Price movements in general were
trivial and the buying spasmodic.
