tloubts as to his return.
Mr. Stuart departed on February i23d,
ielHus' his landlady,; who resides on east
Grace street, that he was going to Wash
ington. He wrote: a postal card to one.
of the officers of the church, stating: that
he had been called suddenly to Ciiicin

:hat his friend request his congregation

BORE .ECELLEXT LETTERS.
"Mr. Stuart, came to Richmond during
the early-weeks of the winter from Phil
ndolphia. Pa., with excellent letters "of re
coir.mendation' from well-known Disciples
5n that city. He was a bookbinder by
trade, and soon secured employment in
v binder\- at^Thirteenth arid Bank streets.
While working there he connected him
n.'if with the Third church/and immedi-
F.tclya strong attachment sprung up be-
Tween him and Rev. S. R. Maxwell, who
was then pastor of that church. Stuart
Foon proved that he was well educated
and that he was a platform speaker of
small ability. /Mr. Maxwell had him
preach for him upon- several occasions,
much to the delight of the congregation.
31* was at oneed recognized as a strong
talker. ' . '. ■ . . . , -
SUCCEEDED' MR. .MAXWELL
At that time the Cowardin-Avenue con
gregation begaii to cast about for a pas-
Tor. Stuart was recommended by Mr.
iMaxwell. and an arrangement was ef
fected whereby he .was to supply the
pulpit for the month of January, 'though
continuing . v.-ork at his trade.
AVl:>?n the month was : out he received a
■unanimous call -to -become- permanent
pastor of the church. He accepted, and
iliearrangemerit was to have become ef
3'ective on April Ist. at which time he was
vi resign his position, and give his. full
Time and energy to the needs of the
«hurch. ' . '
INQUIRY A£ TO HIS PAST.
It appears that the Dispatch was no
insignificant factor in developing inquiry
ns to Mr. Stuart's past life. It will b"?
remembered ihnt at the time oif the
v.nanimous! call given him an; extended
account of his life and travels appeared
jn this paper.. The article was reprint
< 0 by th<? Christian Guide, one of the
-tiTicial papers of the. Disciples, published
in Louisville, Ky. It was read by per
sons, who: recognized the subject of the
Kketch*, but . not the name. lnvestiga
lion instituted by Cincinnati people led
50 correspondence with Disciples in Rich
mond. . ' ' ■ .. " •'■ :
AN INTERESTING- CAREER.
Stuart is 39 years old. "He is a native ot
r 'anada, but when quite young was taken
}•>- his parents to Australia. After living
"Jhere soin<? years his parents removed to
London. England. 'While there both of
liiem died, leaving; him a considerable I
s-'um of money. Prior to their death lie
received a. fair education under a .private
' itor. On being left: an orphan he return
♦'< 3to Canada, and after several j-ears ot"
-Aaud<_'ring in that country and in the
"I'liited States, lie-found himself v>.^nout
-n«ans.«He secured a-position in a bindery
Mid learned that trade. Prior to going to
Philadelphia, he was a member of and an
« vanp^list in the Methodist Episcopal
'_"aurch, doing special work in me slum
districts." In that; city he connected him-
with a mission conducted by the
3'Jrst Christian -• church; and is said to
"■'Hve. done good work before coming to
-•Richmond.
■^itf-.v he began his work "as supply for
''!? Cowardin-Avenue church, no minister
•v<--r received more, cordial and unanimous
f-'-T'Port from a. congregation than did he.
)i* was 3ie!d in high "esteem- bythernem
"••rs, and preached to large and intercstr
'fl. congregation ;
AVERSE TO TALKING.
A Dlsjmtch reporter saw Rev. Carey E.
f< rgar., pastor of/ the S.rve:uJi-Stre<rt
I •'hrisiian church, late last night, but the
Minister refused to talk c concerning Zthv:
iriatter.. save to admit that Stuart /had
J- 't Ilichmond, and that he would not re
;"rn. Stuart admitted to Mr." Morgan that
*"'«s rocflrtl v.-as riot' faultless— at least,
j'^nv a minister's standpoint.", . .-
The advisability of leaving the city was

CUJBAXS iy "DOUBT I
Can't Believe The Platt Amend
ment Is Final Action.
HAVANA, March s.— The. Cuban amend
ment to the army appropriation bill has
been forwarded to the constitutional con-:
vention by.Genaral Wood/ and it was in
formally discussed this afternoon by a
large number of /delegates. General ' San
guilly and .Senor Alemen contended that
the amendment had become law, and that
President McKinley /could do ; nothing
other than enforce it. They declared that
the suggestions from the convention had
been ignored:, that: the United States Gov
ernment, evidently intended to do what it
|. pleased with Cuba, and that the. only
manly thing for delegates to.d o was to
dissolve,; and let' the .United States call
another convention.'... -.",-.- ; -
Senor. Juan Gualberto Gomez, although
radically opposed to the amendment, said,
S he did .not believe it ,was the final decis
[ ion or the. United States regarding the fu- ; '
| lure. attitude of the government towards
I Cuba. He thought the convention should
-dlscus.^-xhe"ia^endment._ajTid_^etuxii_iLj.p^
I General Wood] with a careful "opinion, as
it was possible that President McKinley
would call an /extra session. " in ' the hope
of bringing about a compromise. '
A niajbrity of the delegates favor, ofli-/
cial action by the convention, regarding
the. amendment, and this question, will: be
decided to-morrow..
:. "WASHINGTON, March 3.— No credence
is" given; here . in official xircles to the re
port from Havana that General Wood
has informed members of the Cuban con
stitutional convention that the declara
tion of Congress, as made in the Platt
amendment to the army appropriation
bill, is merely a bid for further negotia
tions as to the relations between the
United States and Cuba. v and that the
rejection of the amendment by the con
vention would be followed by the re
convening of; the American Congress, in
special session. There .is authority for
the statement that such remarks are
contrary to the view held by the ad
niiinsiraiion.
! The expectation in "\\ r ah-hington is that |
the 'Cuban ■ convention will accept the j
conditions laid down by the American']
I; Congress eventually, if not in the. imme
diate future, and that the Cuban dele
gates; will; be given to understand that
the action of Congress was final, except
in the event of the development of a.
radical and unlooked-for -change in the
situation. -An official says the declara
tion of -Congress will /.and until the
convention is ready to act in accordance
therewith, otherwise the existing .mi.i
tary government will continue in power
at least until December next, when Con
gress reassembles in regular session, and
the Cuban question; can again be taken
up for such legislation as may to be
necessary. " ■•' ;

\WASHINGTON, March .s.*— Such reports
as reach here from Pekin" indicate
that the State Department ' by no -means
underestimated the' difficulties that/would
be experienced in reaching an agreement
; between the foreign ministers respecting
the amount of indemnities. -to be levied,
upon the -Chinese Governfneni, and the
method .of collection. 1 Special Commis
sioner Rockhill is doing all that" he can
do to restrain the demands of the Powers
to a sum total that will be '""within the
ability of the Chinese Government to
meet, without ihe destruction of. the
dynasty. It appears, however, .that the
demands, in their present shape,, are of
an onerous character, and* grave diffi
culty is anticipated in securing an ame
lioration of them. .-. * .
It "will not be surprising if it; should
become necessary" \ for the Powers, sin
cerely desirous* 'of-', avoiding -a.-, partition'
of China, to address themsclveis .directly-
to the foreign oflices of the other Powers,
as was doiie in the case of the punish
nient section of the agreement.' in the.
hope that they may instruct their minis
ters at Pekin on different lines" from,
those they 'are now pursuing. ; ■

ci P itaf ;ed to-day/ at the first-business
session of the Seriate of the Fifty-Seventh
Congress. ■■;■- Mr. iPlatt, o£ Corinecticut; of
fered; an amendment to the rules, .to
limit "debate in the- Senate! . Its propo
nent "had no purpose of provoking-dis
cussion upon it to-day, but several; Sen
ators expressed their" views iri no uri
certain terms. Senator. Mason,' of Illi
nois, thoughtit did not go far enough,
and gave notice of an amendment, under
which, he said, the majority would not
be "under control of the minority. ■- ' • Sen
ators - Wellington, of Maryland, ■ , and
Bacon, of Georgia^' denounced ti.e effort
to change the" rules, as unseemly, the
former challenging the right. of the Sen
ate to consider -the proposition at- this
. session. . - ■- ■. ; -■ ; ; , ' ,
Many " of. the new senators -were re
cipients of beautiful floral offerings from
their friends,, "several, of the pieces on
the Democratic side of the chamber being
particularly notable.- : " " : ; .
Mr. ; Simmons; of:; North Carolina, was
among the recipients. ;
PEFFER ON; THE FLOOR.
Former Senator Peffer, of Kansas. , was
on the floor during the early part of the
session, and was- cordially received by
his former ■colleagues"."'; "" " ••-•-.-■
To-day's session of the Senate was
practically the first : of the "Ififty-Seventh
Congress,, that .of ; yesterday being- : brief
and ; routine iiy character. '
•An --immense throng crowded the gnl
leries. ■ ._■ - . .
A r ice-Presidant Roosevelt's appearance
evoked a great wave "of applause from "the
galleries. After" the reading-ofUhe-jour
nal, the' A'ice-President administered the
oath of office to Mr.' Nelson; of Minnesota,
and Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi.
tors Allison and Cockrell were named- by
Mr. Roosevelt' as -a committee to /notify
the President that a quorum of the.'Senate
was' iii' session,' and ready to "'receive any
message. - . - ;, .....-:" .
*"'"'''"*""T"HE~PTrATT'"^^
Mr. Platt,; of; Connecticut,, gave notice
of an amendment. to : the Senate rules," to
limit debate upon any" bill or ■'resolution/
to' "reasonable limits," to enable the-ma
jority -to do business ; in the; Senate.- ; '••'.■
Mr. ,Mason.V.,of Illinois, gave" notice of
an amendment heproposed to offer' to 'the.
amendment of Mr. Platt's. He insisted
that a time • should :be fixed in the rule
for the limiting of debate. The Senate,
he said, was the only legislative body
in the world in which, the majority was
controlled by the minority. ; -... -..
BACON FOR ANCIENT LANDMARKS.
Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, utterly disap
proved of the proposed change in the
rules, and declared his purpose of doing
everything in his power to; defeat the.
amendment. The methods pursued, now
by -the Senate, in his opinion, were the
best possible. They permitted full time
for the discussion and examination of
•'every, measure presented.
■ As; to the proposition of Mr. ; Mason's
to adopt a modification of the Reed. rules,
he asserted that the House of Represen
tatives, operating under those .rules, tUd
not deliberate upon any legislation. It
merely suggested legislation, which came
to the Senate in crude form, and by it
had to be put in proper legislative shape.
He warned the" Senate that if the pro
posed rule were adopted, it would; soon
go the. whole length, and the spectacle
would : be presented.o f a* Congress, not
only the House, but the Seriate also,
dominated by ; one or two men.
"A MEANS. OF REVENGE."
Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, chal
lenged the propriety of the presentation;
of such a proposition at an extraordinary
session. Referring "to the defeat" of, the
river and harbor bill, he declared that
"this proposed rule is offered as a m<>aiis
of revenge." ;
Mr. Platt retorted that he was not in
favor of the passage of the river and
harbor measure. : ;•
Mr. AYellington replied that, Avhile he
; was arguing against the river, and harbor
bill, he was threatened,-"' unless- h«. : ceaseU
his opposition, "that a cloture rule would
be presented and -Its adoption ..insisted
upon. "I bow," .h« said, "to no party
and . to no man when my conscience .tells
me that 'a measure is wrong.". ' :
MESSAGE FROM. THE PRESIDENT.'
Mr. Allison then reported that the com
mittee had called upon the President and
conveyed to him / the ; Senate's resolution,
and-thar the President had indicated 1 his'
purpose to communicate immediately with
the" body. ,; / ' ; ; . .
Major. Pruden. the A'ssisuiin Secretary
to the President, 1 presented at once a
message from him. \
After Mr. had offered a reso
lution declaring the Claytori-Bulwer
treaty . between ' the United , States and
Great Britain abrogated, the Senate-went
into, executive session, and at ]2:40 Pj M.
adjourned. : . ■ .
The House |' was. not in session, riot

as'; proposed: by. Mr. Andrew Carnegie,
who has generously promised to contribute.
$100,000, upon' condition that the city of

of great moment to this city, and will
conduce greatly to the welfare of its citi-.

'.. QUKSTION.OF A SITE. j
■Many think now that the matter is
' finally .settled, - and that the library is
'assured; but others contend that a most
' important matter' is yet to be disposed
of, arid'that is, the question of . a sitefor
the new : building. "... This , will cost any
where between SIO.COO and $rsO,OOO, v and
will have to'lie furnished by the city. .
-.'■ Jn case .the offers of Mr. Carnegie and
of the • Passenger and- Power Company
are' accepted, the* city, in providing I'-.a.1 '-.a.
site ; for. the" library, would have to,.ex
ercise considerable tact and ingenuity in
providing a. desirable place with the 'lim
ited means, which the city has for; such
disposal. - ;
■ "Many have suggested that the large
; vacant'^ lot, at the corner of -Fifth and
Main streets, would be especially / valu
able' for the "purpose", and others : have
suggested . a corner a t Sevent h. arid G race.
Still/others think that, portion -of itlie
Murphy property, at the corner of Eighth
and Grace,: immediately behind the new
Murphy Hotel building,, is '.one of the
■very best locations in the city. for. a,
library." *'" '_ ;..'."■ ' . '"*■•'. . \
.-■'■ All this, however, is mere speculation.
■ arid .cannot be." .taken -too seriously. 1 f
: the offer "is accepted, the authorities niay
choose^a place/ that has. not as .yet been
thought .of , in - this .connection. " : Thero.
are ; many fine 'building sites In the /city.
now, occupied.- " by .-,' old, comparatively
.worthless ;' and unsafe buildings. ■ ; ';';'" Such
