NEW LIGHT ON CIVIL WAR.

"
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-New light IL
thrown on the causes of the late UNI
pleasantness between the North and
the South by book issued to-day by q
prominent New York and London pub
Fishing house. 1t Is entitled "VIr
ginfa's Attitude Toward Slavery ana
Secession" and contains much mstter
never before given publicity. The au'
thor. Beverley B. Afunford, is prom
tnent member of the Virginia bar and
closely identified with the political,
Educational and social life of the
State.
In this work Mr. Munford has en-.
deavored to present the antf-slavery
and Union loving sentiments of Vir-
ginia, snd to show how neither de
votion to slavery nor hostility to the
Union was the controlling cause
which inpelled her to secession. The
work presents a comprehensive re-
view of Virginta's record with t'spect
to slavery, and the difficulties, legal.
ethical and racial, which embarrassed
emancipation.
The author has fortified his work
by mass of data, heretofore unpltb-
1ished. Critics, who have had access
to the advance sheets, pronounce the
work a most valuable contribution to
the historical literature of the time.

f1rnInn Associated Press. J


BUBNOS AYRES, Oct 15.-With
the expiration OF to-day the period in
which American and foreign nlanufac-
tltrers MAY apply for space in the In
transitional Exposition to be held here
next year, it is evident that the eXht-
billions fro mAmerica and Europe Will
surpass expectations. America will be
we'll represented, but the n1anufac-
turers OF Great Britain, Germany and,
France are more apprecfatiYe of the
opportunity and will have more impos-
ing Displays than the United States.
Not many business men of the great
North American Republic are familiar
with conditions in Argentina, consld
ering the people seml-savage and I'M
progressive. To these it will come as
a shock to learn that BuenoS Ayres Is
the fourth largest city in the New
World and by all odds the most beau
tlfuI and best governed, and that Ar
gentina is rapidly coming to the front
in the livestock and agricultural in
dustries European countries, espe.
cially Great Britain and Germany, are
spending millions of dollars to deVel-
OPP the Argentine trade.
Next years exposition will COM
memorate the centennial of Argentine
independence and will be devoted
largely to illustrating tine progress
made in railways, agriculture and in
dustry AS a matter Of fact, there
will be separate fairs, including the
Railway and Transpor-
tation Exposition, the international
Agricultural and Live Stock EXPOSE
ton, and smaller exhibitions of other
industries and the arts.
