Gen. Buckner Refused Federal Commis-
sion
tn the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In YOUR issue of Saturday, August q ul-
timo. was published communication from
me in the form of an interview, which re-
cited some facts relative to the proffer by
President Lincoln of commission as brig
adler general of volunteers to Simon Boil
var Buckner of Kentucky and his subse-
uuent appointment to a similar rank in the
confederate army by Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston.
The information contained in that inter-
view was somewhat startling to many. 1t
was new to them copy of said interview
sent to Gen. Buckner has called out the
following reply, which is likewise histori-
callv Interesting and sheds additional light
upon the days OF 1861:
RIO P. O., HART COUNTY, KY,
September 9, 1904.
T Fraise Richard Washington, d. c.:
Dear Sir Your letter of August 70 has
been received. asking whether or not com
mission as brigadier general or volunteers
in the United States army, by order or
President Lincoln, was ever offered me.
Being too feeble to write, I dictate the fol-
lowing reply: The commission to which you
allude was rendered me through one OF the
most prominent leaders of the. Union party
in Kentucky, friend and relative. Judge
Richard A. Buckner of Lexington, KY, in
August. 1861 and was declined by me.
Previous to this, in July Of the same year,
Gen. Winfield Scott, to whom l was very
much devoted, offered me, through Gen.
A. E. Burnside still more important posi-
ton In the Union army under his command,
which l felt compelled also to decline.
Very truly yours,
S. B. BUCKNER.
From this communication and the pre-
vious one it is manifest that the federal
government did all in it's power to secure
Buckner's services in behalf of the UnloT
and it is equally manifest that he volun-
tarily decided to cast his lot with the cause
of the so-called confederacy Nor does he
deny 1t, but when the circumstances are m
telligently considered his action may not
seem so strange. President Buchanans ad-
miniStration was a feeble one. He lacked
the decision necessary to grapple with the
momeutous issues of the hour. His con-
stitutional advisers were divided, the ma
jority of them secretly and openly aDettlng
the cause of the growing conspiracy. HIS
weakness and vacillation were used as a
means of inducing officers OF the old army
to identify themselves with cause ana a
government that would have the moral
courage to maintain a position OF reSpecta-
bility before the world.

President Lincoln, inaugurated the 4th of
March, was GUST feeling its way cautiously

hundred ounces are secured each year. The
gold is chiefly placer mining, but there is
also quartz. The silver production OF the
Potosi region for 80 years was estimated
at So, 63O, 600 900, but the mines now have a
very small output. However. the Pulacayo
is one of the best producing silver mines in
the world. Its output having been about
$50. Oo0, coo for the last quarter of a century.
Copper comes chiefly from what is known
as the Corocoro region and the output is
increasing. The tin deposits are found In
the eastern fold of the lakeland and ex-
tend over a region 800 miles in extent, but
the greatest productiveness is between lati-
tude IL and 49,. The tin exists in combi-
nation with silver. Mr.. Pepper made the
statement that the highest mines In the
world are operated in Bolivia, some of them
being worked 1900 feet above sea level:
He drew bright picture of the revival OF
the mining industry which had been de-
pressed through the lack of TRANSFORMATION
facilities These, he said, would now be
supplied by the system of railroads which
the Bolivian government is planning 70
build using the $4,000 O20 indemnity re-
ceived from Brazil for the Acre territory as
a nucleus for the railway fund.

A Tricky Mandarin Punished.

In 1902 two British missionariesswere muir
dered in the province, with the approval Of
or at least by the negligence of, local
mandarin, who refused to protect them and
left them to the mercy of a mob, Mr.
Frazer, the British consul general at Han
kow went up to make an investigation He
submitted the evidence he had collected to
the governor, who was convinced, and or
dered the execution of the mandarin. AS
has frequently been the case, an attempt
was made to outwit Mr.. Frazer. A coolie
who was already in prison under sentence
OF death was dressed in the robes of the
