Carnegie Wants Request of Lees
for Transfer of Lijrhthorsc
Harry's Remains.
Responding to protests voiced bj
various Georgia patriotic societies,!
Andrew Carhcgio has de lined to per- '
mit the transfer of tho body of Gen* |
era.1 Llghthorse Harry Lee from Cum
berland Islatld to Virginia, unless tho
surviving members of the Lee fam?
ily co-operute In th.? request for tho
Hugh A. White, of Rockbridge,
chairman of the special commltteo of
tho Legislature to supervise the .11?
Interment and r-jintermeht of tho
body, is now se'king the necessary!
Interest on the part of tho Leii fam?
ily. He believes that Mr. Carnegie
will be satisfied with action by tho
older survivors, without requiring
specific requests from every Individual.
Some of fine Lees have already been
heard from, and Mr. White expects
the others to Join In the movement at
an earl:- day.
>tnte Takes Action.
Ah act was passed by tho last Leg?
islature appropriating the necessary
funds for the removal of the body of
Generol Henry Lee, hero of the Revo?
lution and father of Geherai Robert
E. Lei, who h^s been buric-d for more
than a century on Cumberland Island,
near Savannah. The body Is to be
Placed in t! e vault of the Leo fam?
ily at Washington and Lee Cnlversl
ty, or at such other place as the fum
lly may desire. The act sets forth
the wish ot the people of Virginia
that the mortal remains of this dis?
tinguished citizen should finally rest
in his native State. He Is burled In
Georgia by accident, having died on
the island while returning from a trip
to Cuba in search of health.
Tho patriotic t?pciot!cs objected to
losing tho body, and passed sundry
resolutions, which have hud some ef?
fect on Mr. Carnegie, the owner of
the Island. But It Is expected the
matter will be adjusted.
If the work can be done speedily, tho
ceremonies of reinterment will be coin?
cident with those at the Installation of
the new prsldcnt of Washington and
Lie University next month.

[Spcctal to Tho Tlmes-plspaich )
Wilmington. N. a, August ;..?Be?
cause the grand Jury had declared 0.1?
of the convict camps in filthy condi?
tion, and tho treatment accorded the
prisoners improper, Judge Carter or?
dered the shorlff to go to the camp,
take Charge "f the prisoners and tak,
them to the Jail, keeping them thcrd
lo await further orders. Tho shcr'ff
und a n?mbi r of doputles went to tho
camp and tiiero was a clash of au?
thority, but tho sheriff was dutermlned
to obey the mandate of the court at nil
costs. Fnally, however, the guards at
the camp relihq?'sh?d possession of
tho prlsondrs and they are now in Jail
here.
Tho county commissioners disputed
the grnhd Jury's sensational charges,
but a committee of doctors who im
medlatoly went to the scone, rendered
a verdict sustaining tho grand Jury,
and hence the-court order.
The court named a odmmltteo to

ing that ho will not return there until

I ty leased the e'aslno to tills same Mar- j
quet, in defiance of the anti-gambling
law- and of the protests of the royal
family. Tho government then In olllco
at .Madrid, influenced by party political1
'considerations, declined to intervene.'
I and the sovereign was so Incensed that]
I bo accepted the offer or tin City of
S inlander, which with the object of rt-l
tractlng the court there during tho!
summer, built a very handsome and]
S|l .? lotts palace as a gift to ti," King.
There was not, however, only the
'? King to consider, but also the Queen I
Mother, who built her summer resi
j dence of Mlramar at San Sebastian over
twenty years ago. and originated all
I the prosperity of the place. She found
I 1 ist summer so intolerable by reason
I of tlio class of peOPld attracted thevo by
I the gambling tables that she. like her
soh; threatened never to come again,

Ways, managed to cause Premier

termination to enforce the hnll-gamb
? ilr.g laws, and the city fathers, fearing
. both the migration of the entire court
I to another resort and tho heavy hand
; of the government, cancelled Marquet'a
, lease, and caused him to move else

Although public gambling establlsh

, tiie fulfilment bv King Charles of his
; threat to leavo Slnaia If Marquet stays
th. ro. Is likely to prove effectual, since

scandal In connection with th<? phenom?
enal Increase of tUlcs of nobility in
Spain, an Increase against which the
Kim; Is vainly protesting. When the
English House of Lords refused to pass
i measure enacted by tie- Common'*
restricting Its legislative powers, the
Aaqutth Government obtained an ex?
tremely reluctant assurance from King
George thai If the Lords continued to
reject tho meusuro he would consent j
to the creation of enough peers to give I
tie- administration a nmlurity In the
Upper Chain ba r. King Gborgo was ad
vised that he had no alternative under
t: ..? terms of the Constitution.
So it Is with Alfonso VIII. of Spain,
who llnds himself compelled to affix
his signature to almost every nobiliary
patent presented to him for approval
by the Premier, under pain ot provoa
ing a Cabinet crisis.
Dowager-Quoen Maria Christina dur?
ing her regency, at the Instance *of that
Duke of xamanes who accompanied the
Infanta Eulalia to this country for the
Columbian celebration in lsiio, scoured
tht ? nuctmciit of a law providing timt
every person on receiving 11 title, eltno;
through bestowal by the Crown, by In?
heritance, or by marriage, should bo
compelled to have it registered at too
Uoyal Department of Heraldry at Mad?
rid, and pity a very heavy fee for each
beparatd honor, Tho object of th'< law
of course, to diminish the extra
ii nnt number of nobiliary titles, par
tlcularly those that, owing to the ac?
cidents of tline and Inheritance; were
held by Indigent or improper persons.
So large are these charges, that many j
of tho old nobles even Imvo been unable
to assume tlielr Inherited honors, or
have had to restrict thernseives to one,
permitting their other dignities to I e
com.- dormant. On the other hand, the
i?uke of Alva; wno is also iniku ot
Berwick, of Llria. of Arjona. of Huesoar,
and of oiivares, und in addition posses
sei twelve ni?rq?lsateB and twenty
countshi'ps, has had to pay toes to the
amount of Several hundred thousand
francs.
The good Intentions of the thon
Quceu-Hegent aro, however, oemg set
at naught, by tau constant creation of
new nubility at tho bauds ot sucoessivd
cublnuis. tho now dukes, mar lUOSses
and counts being always members ot
the moneyed classes, who gladly puy
tiio necessary dues from pockets usual?
ly most unattractive, and frequently
not over-clean.
Not content with Oils, the Spanish
Government has taken to granting
Uoyal Ceuuics or patents to foreigners,
giving thorn thu ojiunisii ntjht to tltli .
Which in some cases aru merely usurped
and III others uro tho subject uf grie?
vous controversy in oilier countries.
.Numerous Moldo-Wallachs, Belgians
and Levantines havei tnus "obtained*'
the sanction of the Spanish Crown to
doubtful Honors,
Tho (.Umax has been reached In the
grant of tho title of tno ancient Dukd
uotu of D?razso to a Jtusstan of i.ha
name of D.irusaon, a wealthy ontrao
lor, presumably of French origin. The
government gav,.- this title in the belief
thai it was a .Neapolitan honor winch
had become extinct In tho days when
the Kings of Sp?th Were likewise Hol?
ers of Naples; but it now turns out
that the dukedom formerly pertained
to the house of Anjou-Sicliy and
passed by inheritance to the present
Emperor of Austria.
All tho Italian. Austrian and Ger?
man papers, and curiously enough also
tho Spanish press, are up in arms
ibout the matter, calling on the Span?
ish Crown to cancel the patent, walle
the Buke of Tamanes, an president of
l the Uoyal Association of the Spanish
Nobility, has lodged an oillclal protest.
I So great Is the scandal aroused by
! the affair that It Is doubtful whether
I .1 Spanish C abinet will ever again dar?,
] to demand King Alfonso's signature to
a Spanish patent bestowing a foreign
title upon .1 foreigner.
The late King Humbert made ono
and only one such mistake, at the in?
stance of his ministers, namely, when
In 1900 he granted a patent recognizing
In Italy the unwarrantably assumed
title of "Prince Kretzulesco" to a Rou?
manian; that Is to say. a citizen of a
country where all nobiliary tttlc-s are
not only abolished, but forbidden under

I train hit him he turne.I across I lie
j track. His legs and arms woro sev?
ered and carried along the track man;,
yards. His remains were gathered n,
and brought hero, where an under?

potfit where Rcdcross was killed is
In York county, and Justice Schenck
was summoned, but after hearing the
statement of tho woman who saw tho
accident or suicide, decided that in
