GREAT PAINTING
 HAS BEEN RETURNED
Famous Portrait of Benjamin Frank lin Is Again in America's
 Possession.

New York, April 15.-The portrait of lery in Dorchester house, London, al pres ent the residence of Ambassador White law Reid, which has been restored to the United States by Earl Grey, the governor general of Canada, arrived today on the American line steamship St. Paul The tin case containing the canvass was placed under the personal care of Thomas Einzey, the purser. It was addressed Ito the Hon. President, Theodore Roosevelt, Washington
 As the picture came from this country originally there was no duty paid upon it, and in the letter from the steamship company to the purser it was stated that its value was beyond count because of the sentiment attached to it.
 In view of the approaching blcentennial Franklin celebration soon to be held in Philadelphia, Earl Grey, who with Coun- tess Grey, was recently entertained in this country, thought it fitting that the picture should be resored at this time. The portrait went to England during the revolutionary period, and became the property of Earl Grey, a great grand father of the present earl. It was taken from Franklin's home in Philadelphia.
 The painting has been cleaned and re- vanished and Is in excellent condition. It depicts Franklin at an earlier period of his life than the generally known pie lures show him.
 It was forwarded to Washington with out delay

The state and division officers are all doing ex- eellent work, and the membership is in- ereasing at a wonderful rate. Texas is Tn inc along with all other sections. and on the whole the outlook was never bet ter The farmers have learned that if is prohtaple to them to reduce cotton acre age and diversity. Therefore the com Ing crop will be of about the same size as last years. His speeches were well attended by business men, professional men and farmers. The business interests in all sections feel as deeply interested as the planter and fully appreciate inc work of the association. They realize that 1t is not a planters organization but a southern industrial army in which all are equally interested''
 MT. Ellis will remain here in the in- terest of the association for some time and then return to Atlanta where ha expects to remain permanently

ENGLISH PAPERS
 DISCUSS SPEECH
PRESIDENT RoosEVELT's ADJ DRESS AT LAYING OF CORNER STONE OF NEW oFFlcE BUILD ING MEETS WITH FAVOR.

London. April 15.-NIost of the morning newspapers devote their leading articles to President Roosevelt's speech at the ceremony of the laying of the corner stone of the new office building of the House of Representative at Washington on Saturday. Their comment generally is favorable to the Presidents words. In the view of the papers 1t was a bold speech, but what was to be expected of President Roosevelt His defense of pub lie men appeals strongly to Englishmen
 Alr. Roosevelt the articles say, is com mencing 10 suffer from too much popu- lafity and already comment and abuse is heard whereas a year ago not a single voice was raised against him. His outspolSen words in the suggestion of a progressive tux to prevent any individual inheriting over a certain amount, the critics believe. will make him more ene- mics in America. but here they say tlre words do not sound dreadful. as Eng land has what he is aiming at, an in- come tax combined with a system of gradua ation and a succession duty, which does not limit the amount an heir may inherit but produces a big revenue from estates.
 Emperor Williams telegram to Count Gouchowsli. the Austro- Hungarian min ister of foreign affairs, thanking him for the support of the Austrian representa- tives at Algeciras, the splendid deed of d loyal ally" and assuring him of 'my rendering a like service on a like oc- easion" is also lengthly discussed. but where President Roosevelt Is compliment ed Emperor William is severely censured.
