In reply he stated that he had not for

hut it is his intention to indorse upon it
that Savannah and Charleston shall be

ihe government from a business stand

He added that he has no intention of
disdminating against Charleston, and to
that end he has authorized the location of
a. brigade camp and hospital at Summer

/This statement from the secretary seems

511ns Hill Thinks the Title Should
Die With Its Original Possessor.
Richmond, Va., Oct. 4.—Miss Lucy Lee
Hill, daughter of Gen. A. P. Hill, whose
nomination as the new “Daughter of the
Confederacy” stirred up a tumult through
out the South upon the ground that there
could never be a successor to that title,
has written a letter to a friend here, In
which she savs:
"It has given me much pleasure to know
how many friends I have in this matter
of the succession to the title of the Daugh
ter of the Confederacy It is an honor
unsought by me, and with Gen. Gordon I
say the title should die with the original
IKxssessot, Winnie Davis. There cannot
always be a Daughter of the Confederacy,
for I am the last one of a general's daugh
ters to he born at that time, and with me
it would end. I am content as I am, a
Confederate soldier’s daughter. You can
understand how I feel in regard to ’his
matter. The notoriety of it has worried me
greatly. If I could only write you as I
feel, you would see how keenly this af
fair of Ihe ‘Daughter of the Confederacy’
has distressed me. I appreciate the fact
that my friends sought thus to honor my
father through me, but it was a mistaken
kindness. I want you, and through you,
the It. E. Lee Camp, to know that the
whole affair has distressed me immeas
urably, and to that heart-hroken mother
I extend my regret that the controversy
should have arisen.”

BRUCE NOMIN ATED FOR GOVERNOR
Massachusetts Democrats Indorse
Bryan.
Worcester, Mass., Oct. 4.—The Demo
cratic state convention met to-day and
nominated a ticket headed by Alexander
B. Bruce of Worcester for Governor. The
platform indorses the Chicago platform
and demands the free coinage of silver as
follows:
“The Democratic party, with a convic
tion and persistency which have now been
confined by the observation and experience
of two additional years of disaster, again
demands the return of bimetallism, by re
storing silver and gold to coinage at tbe
ratio which was maintained during so
many prosperous years in the history of
our country, the ratio of 16 to 1.”
In regard to the war the platform says:
“The military administration during the
recent war has been a stigma on the his
tory of the republic and a disgrace to
civilization.”
The platform concludes thus: “We in
dorse with enthusiasm that true and trust
ed leader of the great Democratic party of
the nation, William J. Bryan, our candi
date in 1896.”

Paris, Oct. 4. —The American peace com
missioners devoted to-day’s session to a
conference with Maj. Gen. Merritt, who
detailed his personal views and those of
Rear Admiral Dewey regarding the phys
ical, geographical, moral and political con
ditions prevailing in the Philippine Islands.
Gen. Merritt’s exposition of his personal
views and judgment of the Philippine
Islands was not finished to-day. He will
meet the commission again to-morrow,
when he will continue to discharge his er
rand here.
President Montero Rios of the Spanish
commission and his colleagues were busy
to-day with telegraphic and other corre
spondence. Senor Rios denied himself to
all callers.
A newspaper, Le Petite Bleu, this morn
ing declares it has authority for the
statement that it has decided that an ad
justment relative to Cuba will be first dis
cussed at the next meeting, owing to in
cidents which have recently taken place
in the Philippine Islands. The same news
paper remarks that Senor Rios yesterday
“bought three copies of a work on inter
national law by one of our most eminent
jurists.”
La Petite Bleu does not accept the view
that the works of commissioners will be
concluded before December, but expresses
the belief that it will require a long time.
The Spanish commissioners were receiv
ed this afternoon by President Faure at
the Elysee Palace. The members of tho
commission were introduced by the Span
ish ambassador, Senor Leon y Castillo, and
Senor Rios expressed tho gratification of
the commission at meeting the President
of France.
At 4:45 p. m., immediately following the
reception of the Spaniards, the members
of the American commission were re
ceived by President Faure at the Elysee
txtiace. Gen. Porter met the commission
ers or the stej of the court of honor,
and they proceeded to the grand salon.
President Faure, surrounded by a few
members of his official household, received
Gen. Porter, who presented Judge Day
and the other members of the commission
in turf), after which Judge Day presented
Faure with a cable message from Prosi
dent,*UcKinley It was dated Sept. 30, and
read as follows:
“On this occasion, when the commissions
of the United States and Spain are about
to assemble at the captial of France to
negotiate terms.of peace, and when the
representatives of this government are re
ceiving the hospitality and the good will
of the republic, I beg to tender you my
most friendly personal greeting and the
assurances of my grateful appreciation of
your kind courtesies to the American com
missioners.”
President Faure, in replying, courteous
ly expressed his appreciation of the cor
dial sentiments uttered and heartily recip
rocated them.
President Faure said that everything
possible would be done for the comfort
of the* commissioners, and concluded with
saying:
"As the name of Lafayette is held dear
in theH'nited States, so is the name of
Washington revered in France.”
The President then added that he would
immediately transmit directly to President
McKinley his reply to the latter's cordial
me ssage.
The following is the text of President
Faure’s cable message to President Mc-
Kinley:
"I have had great pleasure In receiving
the American plenipotentiaries of the His
pano.Amerlcan peace commission.
"DrrrltTg the course of an audience Mr.
Day read the telegratiY which was so gra
ciously sent me. I am very much touch
ed by the sentiments which your excel
lency has been kind enough to express,
and I heartily thank you for them. I
hope the American, commissioner* will
have kind recollections of their sojourn
in Paris, which I shall try to render
agreeable to them, and I sincerely hope
for a happy termination of the pacific
work of the commission.”
La Patrle this evening prints an inter
view said to have been had with Gen.
Rafael Oerrero y Saenz, of the Spanish
commission, ln which he is reported as
saying:
"Peace between Spain and the United
States will complicate all the Eastern
questions. The day upon which the pre
liminaries are signed the first chapter in
the new history of Europe will be com
menced, as the United States will henee
forih play a preponderant role in events
of which different parts of the world will
be the theater.”

New York, Oct. 4.—A circular was dis
played at the custom house to-day, which
says:
“Thq government of Venezuela declines

The United States will assess duties on

“Lyman J. Gage, Secretary.”
Senor Antonio Defeno, Venezuelan con
sul general, said: "The matter is a great

great friendship existing between the two

lIHITTAMA BRINGS SUIT.
Louisiana Ha* No Rig:ht to Hold Out
the Italian Immigrants.
New Orleans, Oct. 4.—An interesting suit
in view of th<* provnilfng yellow fever
was filed fo-day by the French Naviga
tion Company, which owns the
Brlttania.
The Brlttania arrived several days ago
at the mouth of the river with 408 Ital
ian immigrants. Believing that landing of
these strangers in the City might provide
fresh material for the fever, and thus se
riously endanger public health, the board
of health issued an order holding the ship
at the mouth of the river. The company
sues for relief, saying the ship has a
clean bill of health, and that the board
of health is acting by virtue of a state
law that is unconstitutional, in view of
the fact that Congress alone has the right
lo regulate foreign commerce. Damages
are asked of the officers of the board of
health.

that year, and our guide had taken the
dogs out to start back of Beaver Mead
ows, eo as to drive the deer down to the
lake where we were posted on the differ
ent runways.
“It so happened Iha t. Georgy* Twitched
was given the stand where ‘New Lake
outlet’ comes down the mountain and
spreads out over a little sand flow. George
had never seen a wild deer. In fact had
never been In Ihe country, and was only
then away from his desk by doctor's or
ders. But he fancied he could hit a deer
easy enough with at least one of all those
bullets In his repeater, and we all hoped
he would. Well, after a while the bay
ing of the hounds echoed nearer and near
er, and every one of us felt his pulse
quicken and Ills nerves tighten as we
watched the woods and prayed in our
Inmost hearts that Ihe deer would chose
our runway. Presently all doubt as to his
location was dispelled by sounds of splash
ing and some terrible language in a very
excited voice which I recognized as be
longing Jo George. It was evident that
something had happened, and hastening
over to his stand I found that something
had happened. There stood George, rifle
In hand, excitedly swearing at everything
and loudly declaring that those must have
been blank cartridges, not to have killed
a buck at that short distance. Examina
tion, however, showed that he had pump
ed the eutire magazine empty without
once pulling the trigger. There on the
ground lay the entire ten cartridges, not
one of which had been tired!”
This reminded the other man of the
time “Ned Barker narrowly eseaied
drowning.” Said he: "In '94 a party of
us were camping on Sami Lake when Ned
caught sight of a big buck swimming
across the upper end of the lake. Hastily
grabbing his gun. he Jumped Into a boat
and pulled for all he was worth In that
direction. When mar the middle of the
lake the deer changed his course, probably
because of some hounds we then heard
for the first time since seeing the deer.
This gave Ned his chance, and, giving
the oars a mighty pull, he stood up, gun
In hand, Just as the deer swam past the
bow of the boat, and such a fusillade of
shots as he let fly would do credit to a
Gatling gun. but the deer kept straight on
and disappeared in the forest. Then our
Interested centered in Ned, for he bad lost
an oar and seemed to be sinking? When
we got out there with ihe other boat *e
found that that fellow In hte excitement
bad fired five of those bullets through the
bottom of his boat.”

THOMASVILLE DISAPPOINTED.
ID r Citizen* Expected a Camp to Be
Located There.
Thomasville, Ga., Oct. 4.—Thomasville
feels considerable disappointment at being
left off the list of cities that are to get
the Southern camps of soldiers. The city
offered every convenience, and the gen
tlemen who showed the Inspecting party
around were given to understand that
they had seen nothing better.
Some few people are greatly pleased,
however, as they felt that a camp of sol.
dierx would prove a curse instead of
blessing to the community.
