EMANCIPATION DAY.
Forty-Second Anniversary of President
Lincoln's Proclamation.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Today Is the forty-second anniversary Of
the proclamation of emancipation of all
persons held as slaves in the United States
This proclamation was made by President
Lincoln on September %, 1862, and emanci-
patton was consummated by the final proc
lamation of January l. 1868. Mr.. Lincoln
had prepared a draft of the montory proc
lamation as early as June, 1862, but it was
not published until September % of that
year. The Union armies had suffered re-
verses in the early months Of the year. and
it was suggested by Mr.. Seward that the
issuance of the preliminary proclama ton
before the north had recovered from de-
preston might be regarded as the last des-
perate measure of exhausted govern
ment, a cry for help; the government
stretching it's hands to Ethiopia instead Of
Ethiopia stretching forth its hands to the
government; our last Shrek of retreat"
from Horace Greeley urging the President
to abolish slavery, Mr. Lincoln made the
famous reply in which he said that his su-
preme concern was to save the Union and
save the Union without freeing a single
slave l would do 1T. If l could save it by
freeing all the slaves 1 would do it,
Thus, says the historian, Mr.. Lincoln took
the question to heart, land, during the long
months of that terrible battle summer,
wrestled with it alone" He told the late
Chief Justice Chase that he had made a
to heaven that when the confedera te
army was expelled from Maryland he would
issue the proclamation land l am going to
fulfill it now" This was just after the bat
tie of Antietam, which was fought on Sep
TENDER II, 1862 Five days later the first
proclamation of emancipation appeared
Vice President Wilson, in his Rise and
Fall of the Slave Power in America" writes
OF Mr. Lincoln:
True to his convictions and obedlent to
the promise which he told Mr.. Chase he
had made to God If He would grant success
to the Union arms, he sent forth the paper
which has immortalized his name, and
which, more than any act of his admins
tration, has signalized both it and the age
of which 1t formed the great event"
The emancipation proclamations were war
measures, and were declared in the instru
ments themselves to be warranted by the
Constitution, upon military necessity. The
first proclamation gave to the rebellious
states sufficient days of grace within which
TO renew their allegiance and thus save the
institution OF slavery. The proffer was not
accepted ana slavery was at an end The
proclamation did not meet with universal
approval In the north. Far from IT Mr.
Greeley recorded his belief that a large ms.
1ority OF northern votes would have de-
clared against emancipation as a depa rture
from the object of the war, the restora tion
OF the Union. Lincoln will always he 70
membered as the great emancipator' the
herald OF the now universally ACCENTED
truth that the nation could not continne

The Ant Colonies From Guatemala

According to plans approved by the Secre
tary Of Agriculture, there will be further
studies of the ''kelep." the boil weavil eat
ing ant. o. F. Cook. who discovered the
ant in Guatemala, and three assistants are
now in Texas making preparations to es-
tabiish the colonies for the winter. Two
assistants will be sent to Guatemala to OBJ
serve the habits of the ant during the COM
Ing winter and to send more colonies If thew
are required. 1t is during the winter sea-
son In this country that the cotton crop in
Guatemala is grown. The Secretary states
that of the eighty-nine colonies already i'm
ported only one has been lost, and that
through an accident. The statements that
the ants have died off or have been killed
1t is announced, are erroneous. The ants
are vigorous and are stiil active in destroy
ing boil weevils, and all of the colonies have
increased in numbers since they were lib

L. Emanuel of Philadelphia, Pa; w.
Eooser & Co. of New Orleans. La, and S.
c. Bennett of Pueblo. Col. are all under
the ban of the Post Office Department by
virtue of fraud order issued by the as
sistant attorney general. These persons
have been barred from the use of the mails
for acting as agents for the Preferred
Mercantile Company of Boston, against
which concern fraud order was issued by
the Post Office Department March % last,
and later on April 49, when all postmasters
in the United States were warned against
delivering any mail to the company.
1t having been shown later that the COM
pany was carrying on its business through
agents in order to circumvent the order OF
the Post Office Department, an extra order
was issued on September IA against large
number of these agents, as was noted at
that time in The Evening Star. The order
eoday covers these other agents, since dis
covered. and it Is the intention of the de-
partment to treat in like fashion all other
agents who. it may be learned, are carry
ing on the business of this company. The
scheme as heretofore explained, consists
In promises to give diamond of twice the
value of a certain number of combined
payments upon maturity of the contracts

Body Washed Ashore Identified.

A cablegram from London last night
says: body washed ashore today near
Broadstairs, Kent, England. has been
identified as that of Charles b. Spahr
Numerous documents and a considerable
sum of American money were found on
Mr. Spahr's body. Included among the
property found were a gold watch, a
number of L. S. bank notes. a passage
ticket by the steamer Aurania, a note
book and number of other articles. The
recovery of the body is very rare In cases
of being lost in midchannel and it is
probably due in this instance to the con-
unuous strong east winds of the past
few days. From the point where the body
stranded il is supposed that Mr. Spahr
must have fallen overheard when the
vessel was about half way between Os-
tend and Dover, probably off Dunkirk
twenty-five miles from the English shore

Fatal Tenement Fire in New York.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Mrs Annie Fox was burned to death
and a half dozen women and children saved
their lives by leaping into life nets during
a tenement house fire in Jersey City today.
The fire started on the second floor and
spread rapidly, barring the escape of al
most a score of persons on the floors above.
BY the time the -firernen arrived many OF
the tenants were imprisoned on the top
floors. Life nets were spread in the streets
and several women and children leaped
into them. Mrs. Fox was found wrapped in
flames in her apartment on the top floor
and was carried out by a fireman. She
lived only a few minutes.

The Cody Divorce Suit.

dispatch from Denver, Col, last night
saws: Relatives of William F. Cody living
here are authority for the statement that
the divorce application of the scout will
be withdrawn before it comes up for a
hearing at Sheridan, Wyo., this week. The
settlement is said to be due to the efforts
of the attorneys of the scout, who feel
that Cody has been misled in his charges
against his wife, who helped him in the
days before he became worldwide char
acter .--.s.
The arguments of the attorneys are said
to have been reinforced by the supplica-
lions of his daughter, who finally per-
suaded Cody to withdraw the suit, that
only served to injure mother and wife.

Gen. Estes War Record.

General
will speak at the annual banquet tomorrow
night.
Gen. Estes War Record.
Gen. Llewellyn G. Estes enlisted in the
1st Maine Cavalry in 1861 as private, and
became a brevet brigadier general. Every
promotion from a sergeant was won by him
for heroism and skill on the battlefield. He
was five times wounded and participated In
121 engagements. He was General Kilpat-
rick's chief of staff from 1862 to the close OF
the war.
Early in May, 1863, while carrying a mes
sage from General Fitzpatrick to General
Hooker he, with his escort, was captured
by the confederate home guards, and, with
a heavy guard, started for Richmond, as
prisoners of war. That night with his es-
cort of fourteen men, he captured his guard
and took into the federal lines a lieutenant
and twelve men as prisoners of war The
adjutant general of the state of Maine, in
his report, refers to this as "a feat full OF
romance and worthy of the best days OF
chivalry."
During the battle of Falling Waters, in
July, 1863 General, then Captain, Llewellyn
G. Estes saw the colors of an imposing
regiment drawn up in line Of battle in his
front. Imbued with an irresistible desire to
possess the flag, Estes put spurs to his
between the hostile, lines of battle, seized
the flag from the bearer, and, amid show
er of leaden hail, bore the trophy into his
own lines. This flag, captured with so much
bravery, was sent to his mother.
He accompanied General Farnsworth in
his memorable charge through the confed-
crate lines at Gettysburg, was by Farms
worth's side when he fell, and led the COM
mander back into the, Union lines.
He fastened the Fall of Atlanta.
On the afternoon of August 80, 1864, with
scarcely $50 men, he, drove 800 of the enemy
four miles, and got possession of Flint
river bridge. This exploit fastened the fall
of Atlanta and saved the lives of many
men, For this act General O. O. Howard,
commanding the Army of the Tennessee,
recommended, and he received, a medal OF
honor.
When on the march to the sea, and in
the vicinity of Milledvlle, Ca, General
Sherman dispatched Estes with 200 cavalry
to rescue federal prisoners then con-
fined at Millen This was a most perilous
undertaking, as the enemy was in great
force in the section of the country through
vhich his command would have to pass;
but through day and night marches and by
making detours from the main thorough
fares Estes succeeded in getting to within a
few miles of Milen. Estes scouts reported
that the prisoners had been removed the
day previous.
In this raid Estes and his little command
traversed 100 miles. To have gone so many
niles with so small a force into country
occupied by the enemy in force and to have
returned to his command without the loss
of single man was a very remarkable
exploit, and SO regarded by both Generals

San Juan, Barbados, Kingston, Colon and
other ports. He figured that the raw ma
terial would cost nothing; the expense of
transportation would include the charter
of three tugs and about twenty extra men;
while the price of Ice in the ports men
toned is seldom less than sos ton Hence
there seemed to be enormous profits in the
