Many letters from numberous friends in Virginia are being constantly received by me which they urge my prompt return to the State, arrange to make a canvass of the whole State, so that the people may be informed, so far as I can en lighten them, on the political issues in volved in the selection of the next Senator to represent the State in the United States Senate. These letters have placed me under some embarrass ments, because I have not been able to say when I can leave the present im portant work I am engaged inand be cause, too, I cannot say how long my stay will be prolonged on this island. "In view of these uncertain condi tions, I think it best to relieve my friends, and the Senatorial situation by authorizing you to say that it is my desire that my name shall not be considered in connection with the United States Senatorship. i "I am quite sure my friends will support for the seat now occupied by Mr. Martin any candidate who can se cure the greatest support from the peo ple or their representatives. In con clusion, I express the hope that the people of Virginia will be given in the near future an opportunito for the se lection of a Senator to represent their interests in the Senate of the United States and that no man shall occupy that high position unless he can read his title clear. i !

A Dan ville special to the Dispatch says it develops there from reliable sources, that the North & South Carolina Railroad, recently ' -chartered by the former State, and which, it was given out, was to be a local road, to develop copper mining and milling interests, is really intended to connect the At lantic & Danville road with the Plant System. The Idea is to form a line across North Carolina that will give a system in competition with the Southern road, the Sea board Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line. Mr. Newgrass, the owner of the Atlantic & Danville, is credited with being the prime mover in the new road, and is said to be heavily backed by English capital. i" i ' .

Increao in Pcrcia Trads. , New York, March 9. According to the annual report of the Cham ber ; of Commerce, which was. is susd jretterday, th f of eign coia tnerce of this port for the year end ed June 30 last was $39,255,756 less than during the previous year, be ing $996,955,416, against $1,036, 211,172 for the ; year ended June 30, 1897. This , was a much greater de crease than during the year 1897, compared with the year 1896, when the falling off was only $3,153,044. According tj the report the for eign commerce of the entire United States during last year was $2,069, 363,069, or an increase f $37,782, 876, compared with the previous year, so that there has apparently been a general increase outside of New1' York. ;".;;';:: 'i'!';'y::' k Of the total foreign commerce at this port, $127,792,345 was carried in American vessels and $866,342, 275 in foreign bottoms. Although no statement is made in the preliminary report as to the cause of the great falling oft in New York's commerce, it has long been known that it is due largely to the diversion of traffic to. other ports by reason of the alleged dis crimination of the railroads against New York, which make it more profitable to ship by way of South ern ports. . Must Deal With UcKinley. Havana, March 9. Governor General Brooke has received a sug gestion from Secretary Alger to notify the Cuban military assem bly that the United States govern ment will not recogize any finan cial obligation entered into by any persons claiming to represent the people of Cuba without the author ization of President McKinley. He will comply with the sugges tion, and will publish a statement to that effect in the newspapers of Havana. In connection with the question of taxes General Brooke is consid ering the abolition of the stamped reaper required by the old Spanish law to be used for all documents in civil suits. All parties to such litigation are compelled to use pa per varying in price according to the amount - involved. Stamped paper for use in deeds and wills costs ai much as $37 per sheet, and there is a fine for neglecting to use it: in the preparation of such documents.

The transports designed for the Philippines are being furnished, as far as possible, with refrigerated beef, but this plan is limited, in a number of cases, by the size of the refrigerat ing plant aboard the vessel. Where the refrigerating apparatus is not large enough to take care of fresh beef for the whole voyage, cattle on the hoof are being shipped to be slaughtered as required. r It may be said, however, that none of the troops now in transit are being furnished canned roast beef as a travel ration. The Com missary Department has only a small remnant of its immense war supply of this article left on hand and is not buying any more. Washington Post. - faShe Talked Too Much."
