Speech of General Sanford
 to Veterans at Den1opolis

On earth where virtue is feeble and
 villainy strong,
 It Is the cause, and not the rate or
 the cause. which Is glorious.
 As I was especially invited by Camp Oracle, thought no theme could be more appropriate than to say some thing of the life and career of that gallant soldier who loved you so well, and served you so faithfully.
 His father was an Englishman, his mother was a native of Charleston, South Carolina, and he was born in the State of New York on the 4th day of November, 1882. At an early age he was sent to Europe to be educated. There he learned the French, Italian and German languages, and became proficient in mathematics.
 After his return home, he entered as a cadet the Military Academy at West Point. and graduated with dis tinction In 1854. He was soon commits stoned a second lieutenant and as such was assigned to duty with the 4th Regiment of Infantry in the Federal Army. He served for nearly two years on the Western frontier. Subsequent ly, he resigned his office and settled in Mobile, where he engaged in busI- ness as a cotton broker. When the State of Alabama seeded. on January II. 1881, he, in command of a com pany of volunteers, seized the arsenal at Mount Vernon and secured arms and ammunition which were of great bene- fit to the Confederacy. Directly, hos tilities began, he entered the service of the Confederate States as captain of the Washington Light Infantry in the famous 3rd Alabama Regiment, the first regiment that left Alabama for Virginia on the 28th and 29th of April, 1861. He adopted this course not from interest or the accident of residence, but from an earnest conviction that the wrongs of the Southern States were many and grievous. and that a longer union with the Northern States would result in our degradation and ruin.
 In the meantime he had married Miss Mayo, a niece of Mrs. General Scott This connection induced the Federal authorities to offer him a high posi- tion in the army of the United States, which he promptly declined.

The substance, in part, of the ad- dress delivered by Gen. John w. A. Sanford, at the reunion of the Confed- crate Veterans in Demopolis August 10, was as follows:
 Members of Camp Oracle, Comrades,
 Ladies and Fellow-countrymen:
 l am pleased to meet so many repre- sentatives of as brilliant and bene- fcient civilization as has adorned and blessed mankind in any era of the world; and I am especially glad to ad- dress the representatives of remnant of as patriotic, as brave and as self sacrificing an army as was ever organ ized in the support of any cause. That cause was not, as has been erroneous ly asserted, to uphold and perpetuate African slavery. Both the immortal President Davis and MT. Everett of Massachusetts, agreed in this opinion.
 No people ever had a grander cause, or nobler purpose. We fought to preserve our civilization; the rights and sovereignty of the States, unim- paired and inviolable. and to establish a new confederacy in which there should be no fncongeniaI or discordant number. Tn this latter object we failed But the sovereignty of the States with all the term embraces or implies, with one exception, exists as vigorously now as when the Declaration of Indepen- dence was made in 1776; or when the treaty of peace was ratified between Great Britain and the thirteen free, in- dependent and sovereign States in 17s3. It was not destroyed by the surrender of the Confederate armies and the dis solution of the Confederacy, any more than the Universal Fatherhood of God was destroyed by the crucifixton of Christ or that Christianity itself was buried In the graves of the Apostles.
 It is true that iniquitous usurpa- tlon or power and unjustifiable vto- lence did trample upon the Southern States and remorselessly violate the rights and liberties of the people. but this vital and essential principle of all independent States did not perish It ascended Calvary that 1t might he resurrected to everlasting life. and immortal power.

The resignation of Prince Ching Yuan

The tension of Chinese relations with
Great Britain has been increased owing
to the opposition in the province of Che

sanctioned by the government, but lat

Japan's aggressive attitude also Is

These rights. meaning independent

u. S. BESTS BRITAIN
IN TARIFF TREATY
sALEsMEN'S SAMPLES TO BE
ADMITTED FREE
BY New Arrangement American Firms
viii Be Benefited--President
Unable to Recipro-
cate

| BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. PA pitifully
small concession is that made to the
United Kingdom by America in the new
reciprocity arrangement, according to the
admission of the officials here themselves.
! AS stated in the cable dispatches, the
United Kingdom agrees to admit Tree
samples of commercial travellers, and III
return America agrees to admit at re-
duced rates of duty works of art origi-
mating in the United Kingdom.
| The value of the concession made by
| America is measured in comparatively
small figures. Last year the total value
of dutiable works of art imported from
Great Britain was s740,0l6 The rate of
duty was 20 per Ger ad valorem, and un-
der the new arrangement this has been
reduced to Is per cent, which, In round
| figures, would amount to an abatement
| of duty to the amount OF $4,000 per year.
| The British concession of free samples
| for commercial travellers requires the de-
posit of the amount of duty or bond
for the same as preliminary to the
free admission of the samples, the duty
or bond to be withdrawn at the pleasure
of the traveller upon leaving the country
The samples are, it is stated. to be used
solely "for the purpose of obtaining
orders and not for sale" The value
of the new arrangement will be found
in the privileges conferred on agents
for houses dealing II beer, tobacco, con-
| fectionery, preserves and all forms of
sugared conserves.
Great Britain wished to obtain much
more than the meager concession made
in the arrangement just completed, but
| IL was found the president was strictly
limited in his powers by the law in cases
where reciprocal and equivalent conces-
sions are made in favor of the United
States" Having given the United States
free admission for all other forms of
goods within it's power, the British gov
eynment had nothing to offer in this
case but free drummers' samples
The British merchants wanted an
abatement of the duty on spirits, which
would have been of immense value to
the Scotch whisky trade but the pres
;dent could not regard the abatement of
the restrictions upon drummers' samples
as at all equivalent.

CUBANS TAKE LITTLE
INTEREST IN AFFAIRS
First Step of Terminating American
Intervention In Islands Corr
pleted with Taking of
Census

BY Associated Press.
HAVANA, Nov. 24.-With the compile
ton of enumeration of the population
of Cuba there has been accomplished
the first step in the direction of the ter
mination of the American Intervention
and the re-establishment of the Cuban
republic.
Pending the difficult task of tabulating,
the results probably will not be known
for some weeks. Taking precedence OF
all other features of the census is the
proportion of the registration lists by
municipalities and wards These natural
ly will be subject to revision, involving
much delay,
An estimate by one of the most ac-
complished statisticans in the service of
the provisional government places the
population of the island at 100000, of
which about 100000 are foreigners, not
entitled to the franchise.
An element that may prove to be of
prime Importance In the coming election
is the health of Jose Miguel Gomez. 1t
is rumored that the general is afflicted
with a dangerous ailment which may
compel his retirement from the field,
in which event a reconciliation of the
Miguelists and Zayasists factions is not
improbable.
A singular feature OF the present situa-
tion is the utter apathy with which
the Cubans appear to regard the prepara-
tions making for the restoration of their
republic. At no time since the inter-
vention began has political discussion
been SO languid.

Prominent Member of Parliament Ex-

May Be Reaehed--Suspend

LONDON. Nov. 24.-National unity
foreshadowed by John E. Redmond, the
nationalist leader, appears to be on the
eve of accomplishment. Communica-
tions have been passing between the
leaders of the party, and William
O'Brien, member of parliament for Cork,
speaking at Ballycum, Wexford, today,
expressed the belief that all Nationalist
representatives would soon be put under
the same flag.
Timothy Healy, Nationalist member for
the north division of Louth, wrote also
expressing his approval of the suggested
terms of the agreement. but requesting
that the question of his re-admission into
the party be deferred
Mr. OBrien, referring to this letter,
said that lit would be ungracious to de-
lay Timothy Healy's re-admission."
1t is understood the terms of the pro-
posed agreement are that the chief work
of the coming session of parliament
should be Chief Secretary ByrelIs new
university bill that the agrarian agita-
tion in Ireland should be to a great ex-
tent suspended. and the efforts of the
party devoted to securing an amendment
to the land act through further confer
ences with the landlords, while prepa-
rations should be made to raise the home
rule question on Gladstonian lines at the
