WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 6, 1894. The chief subject to be considered at the Grand Caiup of the Confederate Veterans of Virginia that assembled here to-day will, it is understood, be propositions for the preparation and adoption ot a new and true history of the country, that shall be used as a text book in the schools of the South, so that the children of this section may not be taught that their few surviving fathers were traitors and rebels, who. instead of being hanged, were per? mitted to live and he taxed for the sup? port of their many victors. The histo? rian Dionysius confessed that he did not write lor truth, but to gratify the feel in sis of his readers, and most of his profession in the northern half of this country seem to have been inspired by the same motive, supplemented, how? ever, by inexcusable ignorance cr prejudice born malice.

If a true and unvarnished history of the country really desired, no new one need be written, nor old one revised or altered, for there is already one at hand, print? ed and in the bookstores, Greg's, which, certainly so far at least us relates to the war between the States, is entirely un? prejudiced, as its author was a foreigner. As MANY of the faculty of the Uni? versity of Virginia are, or until recent? ly were, republicans, and as a commit? tee of them a month ago recommended the admission of young women into that institution on equul terms with young men, it is not at all wonderful that Mr. Depew, of New York, who canvassed his State for Lin? coln and Hamlin, and has since been president of the ultra republican Union League Club, should have been selected for orator at the coming com? mencement there. All the students at the University are from the South. Is there no Southern man qualified deliver the address for which Mr.

De? pew has been called If the University people don't think there is, certainly Northern people can't bo expected to think otherwise. All is not well with tbe South. Things have gone awry here sadly. And the worst of it is, the prospect of an early change for the bet? ter is not favorable. Family affection is one of the few thing- that are both natural aud com? mendable, but its conspicuous mani festation iu public is certaiuly had form, and not unnaturally suggests the idea of an attempt at effect, and of mock sentiment.

President Garfield ki-sed his mother immediately after his inauguration, with the eyes of the immense crowd upon him, and at the last public band play? ing iu the White House lot. President Cleveland leaned over and kissed his baby in full view of all the spectators. The privacy of home should be the condition for manifestations of family love, not the glare and glitter of public parades. As anticipated in the gazette's Washington correspondence, Repre? sentative Epes of the Petersburg dis? trict will not be-a candidate for reuoin ination. Mr.

Epes has been a compe? tent and efficient representative, has done all for his constituents that any other man could have done, and is doubtless as popular as any other mem? ber of his party in his district. He is also perfectly familiar with the public fueling of the people in that district, and the fact that he has declined a re nomination, though his private busi? ness is not suffering, will not generally be considered as at all indicative of the election of a democratic successor. THE FACT that the cabins of all the outgoing steamers are crowded with rich people, who will spend the summer abroad, is by no means calculated to make the poor people who have to re? main at home better satisfied with their conti it ion. But still there are men who say the incomes of the for? mer should not he taxed, and that the necessaries of the latter should be. VIRGINIA NEWS.

of the Alesandria Washington, June 1S04. Mrs. Cleveland and her two children left the White House this morning soon after nine o'clock for the President's cottage at Buzzard's Bay, and will probably not return to Washington un? til the middle of October. Tho Presi? dent bade them good bye in the private apartments of the Executive Mansion and waved his adieus from one of lie windows as they were driving away. He does not expect to see them again until June when he has promised to join them at Gray Gables for a week vacation.

On reaching Jersey City it is expected that the party will at ouce embark ou Mr. Benedict's yacht, which will take them directly to Buzzard's Bay, arriving there to? morrow morning. They will find Gray Gables completely ready for their oc? cupancy.

These were the personal at? tendants of the President's household, all the official servants remaining iu Washington during the summer. Among the arrivals here to-dav is Mr. Smythe of Virginia, U. S.

minister to Havti, who has come home on a short furlough. Mr. Smythe says be has a very agreeable time at his post of duty.and is happy to state that he basac complished more for the United States than some of his predecessors. The com? merce between the two countries, he says 'S rapidly increasing. He says that while at State dinners he some? sits next to people who would be objectionable bere, his relations there are, ou the whole, entirely satisfactory.

He says the existing government there is firm aud stable. When bidding the President of adieu, he says, the latter accompanied hint to the door and telling him he desired to give him a rose to take hem? with him, called an aide-de-camp to pluck cue hi the gar? den, but that upon his suggesting that one plucked by his own hand would be more valuable, the President hastened to pull oue lor him, and that he now has it in au envelope iu his coat pocket.

In the Seuate to-day Mr. Allen, populist, introduced a resolution pro? hibiting Senators and Representatives from dealing in stocks, the value of which may be affected by legislation.

This was a shot that told by the silence with which it was received. Since the docking of Representatives' pay for absence has been attempted there has been such a remarkable in? crease iu the sick list of the members of the House that the matter will be in? vestigated, and a resolution to that ef? fect lias already been introduced.

Representative Breckinridge of Ken? tucky returned to Washington yester? day after his brief campaign in Ken? tucky. He describes the meetings at which lie spoke as being among the largest ever known in the district.

He believes that if the convention was held within thirty days, he would get a ma? jority larger thau his two opponeuts combined.

A bill was passed increasing from $30 1 a month the pension of Heleu L. Dent, widow of Col. Dent, U. S. A.

A resolution was reported by Mr. (Blackburn, from the committee on rules, for the appoiutmeut of a select committee of Ove Senators on the exist? ing public distress and to which shall be referred the petition of Maurice I. Swift and others aud all other petitions for measures of relief from such distress. The tariff bill was then taken up, the question beiug on the tobacco sched? ule. Paragraph 1S-1, as it came from the House and as it was reported by the finance committee, imposed a duty of $1 per pound on all leaf tobacco suitable for cigar wrappers, if unstemmed, and $1.25 per pound if stemmed.

The Jones amendment was to strike out the para? graph and substitute for it the following: ''Wrapper tobacco, unstemmed, im? ported iu any bale, package or in bulk $1.50 per pound if stemmed, $2.25 per pound." Mr. Jones, on behalf of the finance committee, now modified the amend, raent by making the rates $1 on the unstemmed wrapper tobacco and $1.25 on stemmed (the Mouse rates), and his motion was agreed to as was all the other committee amendments and the whole schedule was adopted. The next schedule taken up was ''ag? ricultural products and provisions."

"And our friends on the other side," Mr. Vest added, "are prepared to cackle over this egg which has been in their nest all the time." "There is not any disposition on tbis side," Mr. Hale said, "to cackle over the Oregon victory." "I thought I heard a cackle from Rhode Island," Mr. Vest interposed. "Because." Mr.

Hale went on, in continuation of his sentence, "it is ply one in the succession of triumphs won by the republican party ever since the Senator and his associates sal. down to frame this bill. And we arc so used to these election returns'showing that what was claimed to be the popular judgment in tho election of the year 1S92 was being now reconsidered in the sober second thought of the peo? ple that this side is not inclined to cackle. What the Senator from Mis? souri claims to have been the verdict of the people in 1S02 is being all set back and reversed by the elections this year." "After that very interesting stump speech," Mr. Vest said, "I hope we will return to business." "Tho Senator started it," Mr.

A body of four companies immediately began the march in a heavy snow storm to meet the deputies, while five hundred remained at Bull Hill to meet the ex? pected attack. Denver, June numbering 1,000 left Divido this morn? ing to give battle to tho strikers. Heavy firing has been heard since they lefr.

McKeespORT, June until noon to day all was quiet about the city and the National Tube Works. Only ouo man attempted to go to work this moruiug, a Hungarian, who was hustled away in short order, but was not in? jured. About 10 o'clock last night ayor Andre read a proclamation to over 1,000 people congregated on the street, ordering all not engaged in le? gitimate business to disperse to their homes. Quiet was soou restored but large bodies of strikers and sympa? thizers spent tb.e night guarding every approach to the city in the expectation that deputies would arrive, but none came. The guards are still maintain? ed, however.

The company still an? nounces its determination to start its and it is feared more trouble will result.

Tho trains upou their arrival were im? mediately sent to Frostburg where the troops were massed, and afterward di? vided into three detachments and dis? tributed about, the region where the most trouble has occurred. These points were at Hoffman, Eckhart and Alle gany, at which places the Consolidation Coal Company operates the mines. Tin militia's presence had its effect and men desiring to go to work were not molest? ed.

It is feared though that when the troops are withdrawn (unless the strike is declared oil'or otherwise settled) that the strikers will be more bold. At 12 o'clock all was apparently quiet. June com? ing of the miiitia had a most satisfactory cilect on the strikers at all the mines. The men seem to realize that unless they at once resume work new help will be employed to fill their places. At the Eckhart mine, guarded by three companies of the Fifth regiment, sev? enty-five men went to work this morning.

Tho usual force is 000. There was little or no disturbance re? ported at the Eckhart shaft which is the largest and most important mine belonging to the Consolidation Com? pany. Only one unimportant ar? rest was made. At tho Hodman mine one-fifth of the regular force resumed work. The Alleghany mine had its full complement of workers.

A Disclaim. San Francisco, June claim Qled against theStauford estate by Attorney General as a preliminary step to enforce the govern? ment's claim against the original hold? ers of the Central Pacific grant, has awakened much interest here. The late Senator Stanford's estate was re? cently appraised at $17,000,000. Since the appraisement heavy obligations have been met, and it is stated now that the enforcement of the govern? ment claim would practically wipe ot the estate, not only leaving tho widow penniless, but cutting off all the bene? ficiaries under the late Senator's will, Including the endowment of $2,500,000 to the Stanford University.

The total vote may run as high as eighty thousand. The election of Lord for governor may be ascribed to the fact that the democrats refused to fuse with the populists.

Hermann and Ellis are re-elected to Congress by handsome majorities. A Sad Scene. There was a dramatic and pathetic scene enacted in Circuit Court No.

2, Baltimore, yesterday, before Judge Wiekes, when Mrs. Fannie H. J. Airey was brought in under an attachment for contempt, accompanied by her three small children. Some time ago Prank P.

Airey filed a bill against his wife, asking for an absolute divorce, saying that was living on Kenset street, Clifton, and had the children with her. The husband asked that they be placed in asylums, as ho did not think the home in which they were was a lit place for them. It was also alleged that they hud been put on the streets by the mother to beg. Mr. Charles Bonaparte, counsel for the society for the protection of child? ren from vice and immorality, sent Cap? tain George W.

Parker, the agent of the society, to investigate the matter. As a result, pending the litigation over the divorce case, the three children were taken from the mother, umier order of the court, and the girls, Fannie and Alice, aged, respectively, five and eight years, were sent to the Home of tho friendless, and the boy, who is thirteen yearsofage, was sent to the Boys' Home. All of the iittlc ones ran away and returned to their mother. Yesterday morning the woman aud the children were found by Deputy Sheriff Garrettin their humble, but tidy little home on Lemmon street. They were at ouce brought into court, the children, us well as their mother, being neatly dressed.

The little ones clung to her, and she held the smallest child iu her arms. Judge Wiekes reprimand? ed Mrs. Airy for not returning the children to the institutions, but she dis I.dined any intention of contempt of court. The woman pleaded with the judge not to separate her from her children, told him that all the charges against her were false, that she worked hard to support the children, that the boy worked, and that between the two they managed to get along. Judge Wiekes told her that lie would have to st paratc her from the children for a Lime, as he must send them back to the institutions from which they had es? caped, until inquiry could bo made its to her mode of life.

Then occurred one of the most affect? ing scenes ever beheld in tho court? room. The little five year-old scream? ed cut: "Oh Judge, please don't take from my mamma; oh, mamma, mamma!" The other children also broke into passionate fits of weeping, and there re a lot of lawyers and spectators in the courtroom who turned away to bide the suspicious moisture in their eyes. Judge Wickesand Agent Parker were visibly atl'ected. and at Mr. Parker's suggestion the mother was permitted to retain tho children temporarily until further inquiry could be made into the I imorc 1 mcrican.

Pulled His Kosa Moskovits, who keeps a dry goods storeon Seventh street, Washington, ap appeared in the Police Court, in that city answer toaebnrge of assault preferred against her by Max Siegel. Mrs. Moskovits is tho woman whose husband disappeared so mysteriously a fow weeks ago, and Siegel is the fellow countryman who offered to tell the wife of his whereabouts upon the pay? ment of 8100. Siegels actions in the matter raised tho anger of Mrs. )skovits.

Both attended the services at the Jewish synagogue Saturday evening, where they accidently met. Mrs. pitched into Siegel, slapped him in the face, pulled out his whisk? ers, tore his shirt, and otherwise mal? treated him before he could escape.

The Sugar Trust. The committee investigating the gar trust yesterday evening gave cut the testimony of Walter Gaston, the wire manufacturer, who occupied the roi next to Mr. Terrell at the Arlingi 1 Hotel, and upon whose statement to a Congressman was based the article in the New York Mail and Expres-i, which i is one of the topics considered committee. The article was re? i io i Gaston, and he said "With the exception of the fact that I was in the room, that I conversation on sugar, that told Congressman next morning from wl I heard that I did not believe the son bill would pass nor any other unless a better is absolutely manu? factured out of whole cloth, absol false from beginning to end. In telling this had confidi ntial relations together for some told him this in pure confidence, wit! giving him details.

I told him thai Senators had been in the room, tioned nobody. I simply told him th it from a sugar conversation the night fore, in an adjoining room, I did lieve the Wilson bill would pass any tariff bill unless a much more favorable bill lor the various industries of the country were framed. That 1 will admit." Mr. Gaston then told that upon be? ing awakened he learned from the i versation in an adjoining room that the sugar men were not satisfied with the sugar schedule offered by the sub-com? mittee of the finance committee. Ho did not recognize the vote of any r- in the room, although it was these persons who were dissatisfied with the sugar schedule.

From the general course of their conversation ho was sure they were interested in sugar. He denied that he arose and peeped through the keyhole. The only reason be had to suppose that Senators were in the room was the familiarity the) displayed with what was going on in the sub-committee of finance that day. Asked as to why he though the bill would be defeated, he said "The interests of one in tariff matters should he the interest-; of all, ami I knew, or though; I knew, tiiat tho sugar men could not get it all, and that it would have to be 'live ami let as ii is in all those matters. Therefore, if the sugar men were better taken care of the other schedules would be bette taken care of.

That was my infen i. ami it was not an unnatural one." The Sugar Schedule. The sugar schedule of the was disposed of by the Sen day evening. All efforts to form com? binations against it, all criticism which has been directed at it, had little or no effect. The democrats stood lly tho compromise amendments single exception of Senator Hill, and adopted them with but slight trou Three of the republicans.

Seuators Quay, Manderson and Perkins, dei in favor of the pending seht ihiie as i posed to free sugar, while Si i Allen and Kyle voted also with the democrats. As adopted the schedule imposes a duty of 40 per cent, ad valorem all sugars, raw or refined, with a differen? tial duty of one-eighth of a cent per pound on sugars above l(j Dutch standard, and an additional one-tenth of a cent against sugars imported from coun ries paying an export bounty, i Continues the Hawaiian treaty admitting sugars from the Sandwich Islands free of duty, and places a duty of two cents per gallon on molasses testing above 40 degrees by the polariscope. Tho ihedule goes into effect January IS! and the bounty is continued until that date. It is believed by democratic Senators that the vote demonstrates so tho usclessness of further resistance by the republicans that the remaining sec tious of the tariff bill, with the possible exception of the wool schedule, will ho passed over with but little discussion.
