Local lnil1ers think the preferential
rates obtained by the American min
lister to Brazil will be a benefit, in an
indirect way. 1t will come from the
larger foreign market for winter
wheaa mills which should enable them
to sell 100000 barrels more a year
for export, and this would lessen COM
petition from winter wheat at larger
domestic markets, and make it posi-
BILE for spring wheat mills to pene-
trate farther south. +

Prenarinp for the Twenty second.

The members of the George Washing
tom birthday Association are working
assiduously to make the parade this year
eclipse any That has preceded it. The
various committees are leaving nothing
undone that can in any way add TO the
grandeur of the occasion on the comfort
of those who may visit Alexandria on
the 22d. They have met with much
encouragement from the merchants and
the people generally, and should the
weather prove propitious an interesting
time is assured, while the number OF
visitors will be greater than on any
previous occasion. The committee on
transportation is making arrangements by
which all who desire can visit the city
without the discomforts which have here
tofore been experienced when large
crowds come to Alexandria. Special
rates will be given by the railroads rum
ming into this city, while such arr ange-
nents will be made to transport COM
fortably and expeditiously all who de-
Sire to come here from Washington.
The TWenty-second of February was for
many years peculiarly Alexandrla's fete
day, and up to the time of the civil war
it was observed by our people with
marked earnestness. The festivities oil
the day we're followed by public speaking
at old Liberty Hall and ball at night,
generally given by the Mount Vernon
Gnords afterwards company E OF the
Seventeenth Virginia regimenD. The
day was anticipated with pleasure by
both Young aud old, and all entered into
the low of the occasion with vim.
After the close of the war often several
wears interviewed between the observance
of the day. The present generation,
however, seems to be animated by the
spirit of their grandfathers, and the
anniversary Of the birth of Washington
appears destined to again become Alex
andria's Mardi Gras.

CARD FROM F. H. NJ. MURRAY

To the Editor ofthe Alexandria Gazette:
On last Tuesday an article appeared
IN YOUR paper under the heading Color
ed Republicans. 1t purposed to give
an account of a meeting of the Negro
Press Association, of Virginia, in Rich
mond. on last Monday. Inasmuch as
Magnus l.. Robinson was the only per-
son present from this city except myself,
| assume that the report emanated from
him.
His evident purpose was to place me
in false light before the people, and
incidentally TO show Robinson's loyalty
to the present State chairman-and
above all the great power and influence
Robinson welded in getting the assocla-
ton to turn down its committee at MS
behest. :,
The committee on resolutions, OF which
| was one, cid not report resolution
against Mr.. Agnew for next chairman
hence it could not have been strlc ken out
Furthermore, Robinson did not say one
word while the resolutions were being
discussed.
How President Roosevelt could have
been unanimously" Endorsed and We
civilian Murray" by whom is meant
me oppose him, | leave you to judge
The first statement is correct, the latter j
not. Robinson is not chairman of tn
executive committee. Respectfully,
F. H. NJ. MURRAY,
Editor of the Home News and Cores
: pouding Secretary of the Negro Pres
Association of Virginia.

The Question of Costs

The act of the General Assembly, ap-
proved December Both, 1903, creating
the Office of Police Justice, as published
in the Gazette of Saturday, January 9th,
last, makes no mention of assessing
costs against any one brought before
that court for trial. 1t appears that the
extract from the act approved May 20,
1903, and which was published on
Tuesday, last was not entirely original,
aud is to be found word for word in an
act of the General Assembly, approved
February 10th, 1898, on page S22 ses-
sion acts 1928, which is entitled Gan
act to prescribe the powers and duties OF
the police force of the cities and towns
of the Commonwealth of Virginia and
to regulate the same.

The Weather and River.

The mercury in the thermometer stood
ot 90 at 7 O'Clock this morning. The
nicht was cold throughout, but after day
break there was an appreciate rise IN
the temperature, and more pleasant con-
ditions prevailed. The wind had again
changed to the south. As the day adj
vanced the weather grew mild, and all
reioiced at the indications Of the passing
of the cold wave. The heavens, how
ever. became cloudy and threatening.
The condition of the river is practl-
caliy unchanged, navigation being as
difficult as ever. The wind having dis
minished last night, ice formed across
the channel again, and early this morn
inc the bosom of the river was again
stationary. Later the steamer Norfolk
came along and opened the channel and
subsequently the passing up and down
of tupboats started the ice moveing. Be-
low this city, however, the ice still affords
serious batteries even to powerful steam
er, with iron bulls.
The accident to the steamer Washing
ton of the Norfolk line on her way up
Yesterday morning was mentioned IN the

her propeller in battling with the ice is the

About four o'clock yesterday afternoon
