PRESIDENT MoNRoE's BODY
Monroe's Remains From New
York to Richmond.

The state library, rich in SO many
volumes devoted to Virginia and Vir-
ginians, contains book compiled by
Udolpho Wolfe devoted entirely 10 the
Grand Civic and Military Demonstra-
ton in Honor of the Removal of the
Remains of James Monroe, Fifth Pres
ident of the United States, from New
York to Virginia" Mr.. Wolfe is
Virginjan, the son Of a citizen soldier
of the Old Dominion" The Seventh
Regiment of the New York National
Guard was the escort of honor Of the
remains from New York to Richmond.
1t is an interesting fact that neither
the body of President Monroe nor his
wife were destined to rest undisturbed
in the first grave which held their
bodies. The fifth president died in
the city of New York, July 4, 1881, at
the residence of his son-in-law, Samu-
ell L. Gouverneur, and his remains
were put in a vault in the Second
Street or Marble cemetery.
He was the third president Of the
United States to die on July 4, Adams
and Jefferson being the other two who
passed away five years before. In 1858,
twenty-seven years after Monroe's
death and 100 years after his birth, his
remains by an act of the Virginia leg
islature and with the consent of Sam
uel L. Gouverneur, Jr., grandson and
only male lineal descendant, were
brought to Richmond on the steamer
jamestown, and with elaborate cere-
monies reinterred in the tomb in Hol-
lywood. Rev. Charles H. Read,
then pastor of the United, now First
Presbyterian church, conducted the de-
votional service at the grave, and Gov.
Henry A. Wise delivered an address.
President Monroe's wife had already
been dead several years and buried at
Oak Hill, Loudoun county, when he
died. That accounts for his living In
New York with his son-in-law. He
was very poor during the closing years
of his life. Some one has remarked.
applying 1t to him: ITO handle mil
lions and die poor, that is virtue"
1t is an interesting fact possibly all
do not remember, that Monroe lived in
Richmond when a boy and went to
school, Interesting also is it that he
boarded at the "Old Stone House."
now called "Washington's Headquar-
ters," and almost without doubt the
first house of any consequence ever
built in the confines of the present

Paper Mills in Louisiana.

Manufacturers of paper have been
searching diligently everywhere in
the country to find suitable materials.
Louisiana, it was discovered, produces
two excellent materials, rice straw
and bagasse, from which the best pa
per can be manufactured, but it has
not utilized this opportunity, and
throws away the bagasse and rice
straw as waste products. We have
one mill in the state converting the
refuse from sugar cane into paper, but
the industry has been very little
pushed. IL II were extended it would
insure an important financial addition
to the sugar crop. just as the manufac
.are of cotton-seed oil has made valu-
able what was formerly waste prod
uct of cotton growing. and was deemed
a nuisance difficult to get rid ON. o.

st Petersburg, July 1:25 D. MI
With the return of three days fine
weather, drying the roads at the the
ater Of war, the military authorities
here are once more inclined to believe
in the probability Of heavy fighting and
even In the possibility Of a general en-
gagement. The japanese columns ap-
pear again to be pushing forward at all
points, but the strategic plans Of the
japanese, as well as the location Of
their main force and the place wnere
their chief blow will be struck, wheth-
er at Kai-Chou, Hal Cheng, Liao-Yang
Or even at Mukden. are still puzzling
the Russian authorities. In general
way the Japanese seem to be with
drawing their pressure southwest of
Kai-Ohou and Liao-Yang, but to be
maintaining it northeast, as if con-
templating combined attack on Ia
Tche-Kiao and Lao Yang The sue
cess of the Japanese f1anking opera
tions is disconcerting the Russians.
One by one the passes in the noun
tains which the Russians had fortified
in advance with infinite pains have
been attacked by the Japanese, who
have always managed, by trails not
marked on the maps, to circumvent the
Russians. When operating along the
interior lines, with the railroad to facil-
itate the movement of troops, the Rus
sian general staff believes this fine
quality Of the Japanese will disappear
and that when the Japanese deb0uch
into the plains the Russians, who are
accustomed to maneuver in a fat coun-
try. will be completely at home.
