"Immortal 900"
in Annual Meeting
Confederate Officers We're Placed
Under Fire Of FeAow Con-
fedcratcs al Morris Island.

The annual meeting OF the Immor-
tai Six Hundred, held yesterday at the
Medical College OF Virginia. was one
Of the many smaller but highly i'm :
portant events which occur at every
reunion.
The Immortal six Hundred were the
Confederate officers who in a Federal
prison at Morris Island. ;. c., were
placed under the fire of their own guns
and also further subjected to inhuman
treatment by being compelled to cat a
ration OF rotton corn meal and pickles
Al another time during the term OF
! imprisonment at Morris Island the ia :
zion consisted OF rotten. moldy hard
tack crackers, with one ounce OF fat
twenty-four hours. This sort of fare
was issued to the Confederate prisoners
for period of forty-two days.
The reason for the inhuman treat
ment was that the men would not take
the oath Of allee lance Every morning
the roll was called TO see if everybody
was ready to take the oath, but not
man yielded, despite the horrible fare
and the fact that daily they were in

negro soldiers. the stout-hearted Con-
federates still remained true TO their
allegiance and never wavered in their
devotion 20 the South.

lower grades were to be filled by exami-
nation, land the examination is stiff
one) and in the higher grades by promo
ton. Due to this order the consular
service offered career worthy the con-
sideration of high class of men. As a
political plum-tree it was severed at the
foot. To use the language of then Sec
re;ary Root, at the hearing on the bill:
so long as the present administration
is in power there is every assurance that
the merit system as provided for in the
executive order of June 9th will govern
not only appointments, but promotions

The work of the Republican party in
placing the, consular service on a firm
foundation has been productive of excel
lent results. The structure still remains,
despite several undermining influences
put into operation by the present admin
istration. 1t is splendid monument to
Republican achievement and serves us
further fefutation of Woodrow Wilson's
assertion that the Republican party has
not had q new idea in 80 years.

Home Market Club Says 1t Has Not Been a
Success as Revenue Producer.
BOsTON, Nov. II. A resolution de-
claring that the Underwood Simmons
tariff ''has failed as a revenue produc-
err" and urging ian adequate protec-
tive tariff" as safeguard against Eu-
ropean competition after the close of the
war, was adopted by the Home Market
Club at its annual meeting today. Near
ly all of the New England manufactur-
ing centers were represented. President
William B. H. Dowse of Boston was re-
elected. The text of the resolution was
as follows:
Resolved, That the Underwood Sim
mons tariff for revenue only has failed
as revenue producer. 1t promoted a
large increase IN imports, curtailed pro-
duction and deprived workmen of en-
ployment. When the war ends, the low
rates of the Underwood law, will leave
US wholly unprepared to meet the COM
petition of European nations, forced by
their necessities to find quick market
for their products. An adequate pro-
tective tariff is needed to safeguard
American inustries and protect the
wages of American workingmen. In
our opinion industrial preparedness is of
even more pressing Importance than
milit arv preparedness.

BLOCKADE OF WAR FREIGHT

New YORK, Nov. II. Congestion of
freight in and around New York con-
tinues to be so great as to cause ship
pers and transportation companies seri-
GUS concern. 1t is attributed mainly to
the rush of foodstuffs and war munitions
for shipment to the belligerent nations.
1t was stated today that one railroad
has upward of 1000 loaded cars blocked
between Pittsburg and this city and that
several hundred freight cars with loco
motive parts and railway equipment for
Russia are included in the blockade.
The president of one of the larg east
ern railroads said today that the conges-
ton is the worst within his memory.
Some of the freight must be distributed
to southern ports or to Canada, or vessels
from other ports must be rushed to New
FORK to take on the freight, he said.
Exports of all kinds from New York
last week were valued at $50, 548, O7O, an
increase of more than So, 600, 900 over
the preceding week.
