ing assured that his native State
would upon any ect OF aggression
meke common cause With the other
Southern States declined the tempting
offer.
In letter written April 20, 1861,
ne made that never to be forgotten
declaration: "With all my devotion
to the Union and the feeling of loyal.
ty and duty aa an Amesissa oitizea, T
have not been able to make up nv
mind to raise my hand against my
relatives, my children, my home.
Save in defence Of my nstive State,
with the sincere hope that my poor
services may never be needed, hope
l may never be called upon to draw
my sword"
When at length hostilities began
and Virginia took her place in the
Confederaoy the people Of the Old
Domioion with one voice eurned to
him as commander of her army then:
Forth from it's scabbard, pure and
bright,
Flashed the sword of Lee!
Far in the front Of the deadly fight,
High DER the brave in the cause of
Right,
Lite stainless sheen, like a beacon light.
Led on to Victory.
Out OF it's scabbard! Never hand
waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led braver band,
NOE Drawer bled for q brighter land,
Nor brighter land had o cause CO
| grand,
| Nor cause chief like Lee!
The story of his military career il
practically the story of the army Of
northern Virginia, and it reads more
like romance than history. Through
four years Of the bloodiest war known
to history at that time that army
composed OF the flower of Southern
manhood, under its matohless leader
made record Of victories never sur
passed In the annals of warfare. ,

HAS HARD TIME.
Russian Cabinet Assistant Is Jeered
While Reading Report

st. Petersburg, July 16.-In the lower
house of Parliament today. NJ. Makaroff,
assistant to the minister of the interior,
exhaustively replied to thirty-tihree in
terpellations recently introduced in the
house. He was listened to quietly until he
began to read a letter which had been
seized during the domicilary visit to the
residence of a revolutionist when the
deputies refused to hear him further M
Makaroff then turned to general matters.
He explained that the imperial manifesto
of October 3O 1905, proclaimed liberty. but
abrogated no laws. These laws, he said
existed and should be obeyed, adding that
the minister of the interior would not
neglect his duty of upholding the laws.
His remark to the effect that the min
lister OF the interior would not neglect the
duty Of upholding law and order caused a
sudden change in the attitude of the
house. Cries of ''enough, enough" and
resign were raised.
NJ. Makaroff claimed the right to be
heard TO the end. The president of the
house repeatedly rang his bell but the
disturbance continued and M. Makaroffs S
further remarks were drowned In a gem
eral chorus Of jeers and hootings Twen-
ty-two deputies gave notice of their in
tenton of replying to M. Makaroff

RICH LoNDoNER DEAD.
Alfred Belt Controller of Gold Output
of South Africa.

London, July 16.-Alfred Belt, the we'll
known South African financier. died to-
day. He had been in bad health for some
time.
Mr.. Belt was born in 1853 at Hamburg.
He was a life governor of the Debeers
consolidated mines, a partner in the firm
of Werner, Belt & Co., and director of
the Rand mines, Rhodosia railways, Be-
chuanaland Railway Trust, Consolidated
company Bultfontein mine, and British
Chartered South Africa company. He was
reported to have been implicated in the
Jameson raid. Later q suit was brought
against Mr.. Belt on the ground of COM
plicity in the raid and his prosecution
was demanded by Dr. Lloyd, the repre-
sentative of the Transvaal in Europe,
and in 1896 his resignation from the board
of directors of the British Chartered
South Africa company was accepted.
When Cecil Rhodes died in 1902 it was
found that Mr. Belt was appointed one
of his executors, and Mr.. Belt thereupon
returned to the board of directors of the
British Chartered South Africa company.
Early in 1903 Mr.. Belt had an apoplectic
stroke and never fully regained his
health
Mr.. Belt is said to have been the richest
man in London. He controlled the output
of gold in South Africa. He gave large
sums Of money to the Red Cross and other
institutions and recently donated $4,000
to found a university at Hamburg

TAGGART WINS IN
FIRST LEGAL STEP
JUDGE BUSkIRk HOLDS THAT
THE STATE DOES NOT GIVE
FACTS SUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY
ACTION AGAINST COMPANIES.

Paloi, Ind, July 16.-Judge Thomas B.
Busdrk In the Orange county court today
sustained the third section of the de-
murrer of the French Lick Springs and
West Baden hotel companies against the
petition in quo warranto of the state for
a temporary receiver and temporary in
junction against gambling at the resorts.
In the third section the hotel companies
set up that the allegations of the state
in its complaint do not state facts suffi-
cient to constitute of action against them.
He overruled the two sections of the
demurrer in which they assert the prose-
cutting attorney was not the proper rela-
tor for the state in such proceedings and
the state has not the legal capacity to
sue.
Attorney General Miller served notice of
appeal to the supreme court. Should the
supreme court reverse his decision the
states information would be sent back to
Judge Buskirks court for trial Should
the supreme court affirm the decision
the case will be thrown out of court
The court held that under the law, be-
fore such extraordinary relief could be
sought, as is set forth by the state there
should have been an examination by the
