PLEASED TO
SEE HIM BACK
Washington Glad to Hear of;
Senator Daniel's Return.
NOBODY WAS SURPRISED
Not Expected that He Would Hav2 Op?
position?Tribute of Senator Bev?
eridge?-Represr-ntative Under?
wood Talks of Birmingham.
The Tlmes-Dlspateh Bureau,
No. 1417 O Street, N. W,
"Washington, D. C, June Oth,
The news of the renomlnatlon of Sena?
tor Daniel was received with greatest
?satisfaction In Washington. Every Vir?
ginian The Times-DIspabch correspon?
dent talked to about It said that It was
a fitting recognition of the Bervici.*! of
Senator Daniel In times past that he should
r.ot have any opposition for renomma
tlon. Ills colleague In the Senate, Sena
:or Martin, seemed especially pleased
that ho had such a pleasing cvlepnce of
the regard the people of Virginia feel
for him. When asked If he ia.1 tele?
graphed hit* congratulation? to Senator
Daniel, he replied that he had u? t, be?
cause It wae such a foregone conclusion
that ho had congratulated him muny
tlmoH on It before. Tho other Virginia
Congressmen In town were likewls?? glad
to know Senator Daniel's claims upon
the people of the State were so fittingly
recognized by thoso who have ajpiratlons
In the direction of the Sonata.
Senator Beveridge, who came In laut
night with the President from Indiana,
said:
"I am ploased to learn of the r?nomlna
tlon of Senator Daniel. A statesman in
".vary sense of the word, ho omrnanels
the respect of every member of the Sen?
ate, he he Democrat or Republican. Ilo
Ib a credit to his State and to the F-cnate.
I am glad to see the Virginia people? .?o
fittingly recognize his services."
SENATOR DANIEL PLEASED.
Senator Daniel regards It as one of tha
most pleasing incidents In his entire
career. Whon he was in Washington a
few weeks ago he expressed this feeling
to his newspaper friends: *'I know of
no evidence of the confidence and esteem
of tho people of my beloved Stale
which woulel be more appreciated by me
than to h3ve no opposition to my re?
election to tbe Senate. I have ever tried
t?> do my duty by my State and by my
people." said he. "and I would appreciate
beyond words the feelings of the people
which such a state of affairs would Indi?
cate."
BOOMING BIRMINGHAM.
Representative Oscar Vf. Underwood,
of Alabama, who Is an alumnus of th**?
T.'niverBlty of Virginia. Is In Washington
looking after some matters pertaining
to his district. This morning he happened
In the dining room of th? Ralel**h. w'eiere
Senator Martin and Congressmen Hay
nnd Flood were hnving breakfast to?
gether. Mr. liny aske'd hlm how things
? were down In his district. Mr. "iider
wood represents the Birmingham district
nnd lives In Birmingham. ^lic replied:
"I never saw anything to <?qual it. We
are having the most prosperous era there
now that I ever saw. Wh?*n ore was
seven dollars a ton our furnaces were?
making a good profit, but now that it Is
up to the neighborhood of eighteen dol
Iirs a ton they are making money hind
ever fist. ."Why, I do not think that then;
Is any doubt that on every ton of Iron
they turn out they realize a net profit
of ten dollars. This has brought about
an unprecedented boom In the iron busi?
ness In my section, and many new fur?
naces have started up all around. ?
think that It Is In a measure unfortu?
nate. Already Iron has come down nbout
three dollars a ton, and It ls my opinion
I hat some of theso days the bottom will
drop out, and then some of the weaker ?
furnaces will have to iro out of business."

Of Culpeper, an Alumnus of Richmond
College and the author of the
following poem:
J
The Strength of Love.
Ah! dear, this, morning could I see thy
face
And hear the whispered accents of thy
voice
Bidding me strive up from place to
place,
Still ever onward to my gleaming
choice?
Ah! love, nnd feel about my neck en?
twine
The dear loved circuit of thy God
sent arms,
And on my cheek thy breath like unto
wine.
Soft, zephyr-born, yet thro' a thousand
harms
Strong e'er to press me on, sweetheart,
the day
Would stream In glory o'er a sea now
gray!
Thy pardon, mine! 1 mean not that my
will
Feels less the strength . which it doth
know thro" thee,
Thou being nb*-ent. O still it throbs. O
etili!
With thot fierce energy which was
born in me
When first the purpose that doth run
thro' thing;??. ,
And life's high goal, dawned as mine
answered pray'r
In thnt strong light which sprang and
ever springs
Out of the pacred passion that I bear
For thee. O, love! 'tis this my verses
sing.
I yearn thee?so, the message that they
bring!

Assembly approved by the Governor Jan?
uary 26, 1903, appropriating a certain sum
to erect an Iron fence around the General
Robert E. Lee monument, I aelvortlsed
for bids, which, whn received, did not
come within, the said appropriation for
the character of fenco I deemed it wise
and best to erect, and not being willing
to contract In excess of the appropriation
and bind the State for more, I have de?
cided to refer the matter back to the
General Assembly for further considera?
tion. I will be obliged If you will publish
this, so that those who submitted bide
may be Informed on the subject.

In reference to the charge In the Black- -

Dr. Smith, who ls in charge of the Alms
house, says the body was so swollen that
It could not be put into a coffin, and was
even too large for a coffin box. It was
therefore wrapped in a mattraes and bur?
led. The rapid decay of the body made
an Immediate burial necessary. >
