the Equitable society and defending hb
father in regard to the safe deposit com
pany leases criticized in the Superintendent
report. Here is the stat ,ment:
4 ask the opportunity to make an un-
qualified denial Of the entire story. 1t
y on par with many Of the other tales
that have been said to the public.
Il. There was no system, arrangement
or agreement in existence at the time OF
my fathers death under which he received
one per cent. or any other per cent. OF pre-
miuiris, premium moneys surplus or any
thing else.
- There was no settlement or adjust
ment OF any such claims or any, claim by
the society with the estate and no pay
ment Of 5000 600 or any other sum,
The story of such u payment Is myth,
like many others OF the kind that are being
published.
For my own part can continue to suher
these libels in silence, for | sha IL have an
opportunity to be heard when the heat OF
the artificial excitement created by such
tales as these has passed and the public
But have no right to permit the mem
DRY OF my father to be thus defamed-the
man who throughout his useful life bore
an unblemished name and to whose untiring
zeal, enterprise and integrity the prosperity
OF the society Is due.
an this connection may also say In
passing that II the Superintendent OF In
suranoe had taken the precaution to maxi
a few inquiries into the history Of the safe
deposit leases, which has passed the scrutiny
Of various superintendents for twenty five
years and more, before assailing the memory
of dead man, he would have learned that
the society had made vast SUMS Of money
out Of these leases, and many other things
that would have materially changed his
point OF view. He would have learned
among other things, for instance, that the
Mercantile Safe Deposit vaults originally
belonged to the Mercantile Trust Com
pany; that my father took over these vaults
in 1879, when they were earning nothing;
that he paid $500 600 In cash to the Mercantile
Trust Company for the good will as a matter
Of personal pride and sacrifice, to save the
Mercantile Trust Company from insolvency.

Gen. Bra xton Bragg Of the Confederate
Army died Thursday at 1923 East ls7th

Gen. Bragg, in his early career, was that
Capt. Bragg Of the United States Army
to whom Gen. Taylor at the battle of Buena
Vista gave his famous order: A little
more grape, Capt. Bragg" 1t was he who
whipped Rosecrans at Chicka manga and
fought Grant at Missionary Ridge. He
left lands and estates when he died in 1875,
yet his daughter. brought up as Southern
gentIewoman with servants and gallant
society, lived for twenty years as the wife
of a railroad engineer, doing tho work
of a lar &c holisehold-for she was the mother
OF nine children. All this was the finish Of
an elopsment which stirred up the society
of North Carolina in its time
In the early eighties Arthur Graves. a
Yankee out Of New Haven, was wandering
in the South, doing an odd job wherever he
could find it. Carrie Bragg, daughter Of
the General, who died in 1875 was then
living with her mother on the family estate
al Newbern N. c.
Arthur Graves met her there, and thew
fell head over ears in love. But Graves
was a Yankee in a part where Yankees
were still unpopular, and he had no pros
poets The opposition was violent. One
night the couple packed up and eloped
They made straight for New Haven, where
Graves expected that they would be well
coined and married at his home He was
mistaken; his parents opposed the match.
So they eloped a second time went to the
parsonage Of the First Methodist Church
and were married there on Feb 49, 1884.
Arthur Graves, with a wife to support
had to get something to do. He took the
first job that offered, which happened TO
Ike firing on the New Haven Line, His
people forgave him in time and a wear
later Mrs, Bragg relented and visited her
daughter in New Haven. She died in 1885.
About that time Mr., and Mrs Graves moved
to New York. where they have lived over
since. Graves was promoted to he an
engineer on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford, and still works at the throt-
tie. Mrs. Graves bore him nine children.
eight Of whom survive her. The eldest. a
daughter, was married recently; the
Youngest is six-year-old boy Mrs,
Graves was AZ years old when she died.
"She was good mother and very happy

"Yes, she was a daughter OF Gen Bragg
but don't want to be setting the family
up on account Of that, said Ora ves. aShe
was my wife and the mother OF my chill

and kilograms are being received by Presi
dent Roosevelt calling for a less harsh
execution Of the Chinese exclusion law
in this country. Tho significance Of these
teeErams, coming as they do from a part
OF the country where the agitation in favor
OF the eyclu sion law originated il fully
appreciated by the President.
President Roosevelt had long con-
ference with Secretary Metcalf Of the
Department of Commerce this morning
and little later he talked with Solicito
Pontield Of the State Department In regard
TO the provisions Of our treaty with China.
The immigration service Ia under Mr. Met

not take the view that the administration
Of the exclusion law is any more rigid than
it ought to he.

Cabinet do not agree with him, however.

IoRILAND, VTs., June ~, lNo.
"The President, WoshinQton
The Portland Chamber Of Commerce
respectfully urges immediate action on
your part with regard to this country's
relations with China, the first consideration
being regard for the nations honor, which
demands faithful and fair performance OF
its treaty obligations. Secondly. our COM
mercial interests are seriously threatened
by the severe manner in which our present
laws regulating the admission of the Chinese
into this country are executed. which seem
in their practical working to contravene
treaty obligations.
I'VE earnestly recommend that a more
liberal Interpretation of the laws be en-
joined upon the immigration authorities,
and meantime the announcement OF the
appointment by your Excelency Of a COM
mission TO inquire into the present exclusion
laws and the method OF their enforcement,
with instructions to recommend to Con-
gress such Legislation as shall promote in
creased harmony between the two nations,
would have n beneficial effect
