As he sat down President Dwight rose and said: ‘‘Yale University and the State of Connecticut extend the right hand , of fellowship to Old Virginia.” Mr. Tucker sprang to his feet and grasping President Dwight by the hands attempted to reply, but the outburst of applause was so enthusiastic that he stood several min utes holding the President by the hand be fore he could bo heard. Mr. Tucker thanked President Dwight for his noble sentiment and prayed God to bless the union of Connecticut and Virginia and Yale Univsrsity. This exchange of fra ternal greetings and the striking manner in which it was carried out created the great est enthusiasm and most favorable com ment. BURBEAR BEATS TENEYECK.

Washington, June 18.—Owing to the facts that the Senators are seventy-six in number, and the members of the House of Representatives are 325, and that the latter are elected but for two years at a time, and many serve in but one Congress, while the ordinary term of a Senator is six years, some of the Senators and their families are considered to belong to the permanent so ciety of Washington, and have social ad vantages more transient familes rarely, if evet, attain. These take their places among those of the residents of the capital who have the most attractive homes and most desirable circle of acquaintance, and who jierhaps know scarcely a dozen of the ladies of the families of the numerous itiemhersof the House of Representatives. The daugh ters of the Senators who have served more than one term have in many instances grown ,up in Washington, and made their first ap pearance as full-fledged young ladies at WaaWngton parties, and are so little ac quainted in the States which their father represent that it is a real hardship to them when compelled by necessity to live in the old homes of their parents. Some of these when taken back to the actual residences of their fathers, perhaps in a country district or in a small, inlana town, by their lack of interest in their neighbors seriously offend those on whom their fathers depend for con tinuance in political life, and thus bring about the very retirement the ladies of the family most earnestly desire to retard. There are, however, among the Senators' daughters some who have been so educated that they have resources of their own which would make them contented, if not happy, anywhere. This is especially true of Senator Ed munds' only remaining daughter, who has received under the direct supervision of her parents a most substantial educa tion, and has by preference mingled little in the gav scenes of Washington. She has rarely, if ever, attended a danc ing party, but sometimes goes to other en tertainments—afternoon teas and lunches, and occasionally to an evening reception. She takes great interest in her father’s pur suits, even in his law studies. Another exception to those who care ex clusively for excitement and amusement is Mbs Anna Dawes (the only daughter of Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts), who is better known to readers of her stories and text books for schools, which are much used in New England, than she is to many people in Washington, especially among those who frequent its gay social assemblages, in spite of her long residence here during many suc cessive sessions of Congress. Miss Dawes has never cared to mingle in society, ami beyond receiving with her mother on Thursdays, returning visits, and occasionally attending a lnnch party, goes through none of the routine of social duties and pleasures in which such a number of the ladies of Washington, including Con gressmen's daughters, take unmingled de light. She attends the meetings of the Washington Literary Society of which she has loug been a member, regularly, and often (-ontributes papers which she reads at such times, and she is of the greatest assist ance to her father in his work, whether in gathering material for his speeches, or in arranging his mail and printed documents which last must be sent out to constituents. She much resembles her father inf face and figure. Her hair, which she has never had banged, is light brown in color, and she wears it drawn plainly back from a high and prominent forehead. Her eyes and com plexion are light. The young daughter of Senator McMil lan, of" Minnesota, who has not yet quite completed her course of schooling, snows great interest in historal research, especially in the direction of classical and mediaeval history, an unusual taste in one so young, and. being with her parents in Washington during this winter, has made good use of the Congressional library in following up bar favorite study. There are also ladies of other Senators’ families who make good use of their residence in Washington by seek ing benefit from the libraries and scientific and other collections in the government buildings, as well as by contact with those, to know whom is in itself a liberal educa tion. On the other hand there are lw>th wives and daughters of Senators who regard a stay in Washington, whether brief or pro tracted, only as an opportunity to enjoy more of gay society than any other place could afford them. Avery busy life is led by some of those who rarely take a meal at home during the season except when entertaining company. They go to •‘breakfast" at 12, or a lunch at 2, then to an afternoon ten. or to make a round of calls, have barely time to dress to go out to dinner, aud afterward attend a ball, dancing until 3 or 4 in the morning, or perhaps spend the evening at the opera or theatre, and go to a midnight supper after ward which lasts until 2 o’clock. But even among these there are some la dies who make it a matter of principle to give of their time and substance to works of charity, and in the very height of the gar season will labor to benefit charities. For instance, Thursday is the ilav for Senators’ families to receive calls. Yet at 9 o'clock on a Thursday morning, in Janu ary of this year. Mis? Dolph, the daughter of the Oregon Senator, who recently "mar ried Mr. Nixon, was playing the minuet for the dancers to rehearse it at Chief Justice Waite’s house aud kept another engage ment at noon. She received calls with her mother in the afternoon, went to another Kirmess rehearsal afterdinner and to Secre tary and William Endieott’s reception at 10 o’clock that evening, having hud no time to rest since before an early breakfast. Senat< irs’ daughters old enough to take part in Washington society, are, however, not very numerous here this winter, there having" lieen so many of them married within two or three years, and few of the married daughters of Senators live here, though they occasionally visit their fathers during a session of Congress. The following is believed to lie a tolera bly, if not wholly, accurate list of Sena tors who have had with them this winter duughters old enough to he in society: Senator Sherman. Ohio, the President pro tempore of the Senate: Senators Beck and Blackburn, Kentucky; Hro?vn, (b-orgia; Butler and Hampton, both of South Caroli na; Cameron, Pennsylvania; Cheney, New Hampshire; Cullum, Illinois;Dawes, Massa chusetts; Dolph and Mitchell, both of Ore gon; Edmunds. Vermont;Eustis, Louisiana; Evarts, New York; George, Mississippi; Jones, Arkansas; McMillan, Minnesota; Farwell, Illinois; Mahone. Virginia; Payne, Ohio: Pugh, Alabama; Sawyer, Wisconsin; Voorhee6 of Indiana, and Wilson, lowa, aud Whitthome, Tennessee. Of three the daughters of Senators Beck, Eustis, Farwell. Puvne, Pugh and Sawyer are married, while the daughter of Senator Sherman, one of Senator Butler's daugh ters. and the daughters of Senators Cheney, Mahone, Whitthorue and McMillan each made her first formal appearance in the so cial gatherings frequented bv her parents this winter. Some of the others were de butantes last season. Miss Eustis, who was married here in February, had her debut ball iu New Orleans just before accompany ing her parents to \\ nsbington early in De ceraber. She married her first cousin. George Eustis, the grandson of Mr. \V. W. Corcoran, of Washington. Scnatora Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Evarts, of New York, probably each has more daughters than has any other one Senator. The former has six and the latter five. Only one of Senator Evarts’ daughters is now unmarried, Miss Mary, who has always been so helpful to both her parents that her father in alluding to the fart that she alone of his daughters ha;; not married, says: “It it is an instance of the survival of the fit test.’’ She is always with her jstrents, whether in Washington or elsewhere. None of the married daughters live in Washing? ton. Senator Don Cameron has been married twice, but has no son of his own blood. His first wife's children are four daughters, and 'The morning news : Thursday, june 30, iBBv. the infant born to him and his present wife last summer, their first child after eight Sars of married life, is a daughter. He s adopted a little bov, the son of a friend —a Southerner, a classmate at college, who named the child Donald Cameron for the Senator. The boy’s parents are both dead now. Senator Cameron’s two oldest daughters are married, the elder to a son of Justice Bradley of the United States Supreme Court, "and lives iu New Jersey, and the second to a son of Admiral Raymond Rodgers. United States navy. This son is an army officer, and is stationed at West Point. Miss Mary Cameron, the third daughter, goe6 much into society, being still an in mate of her father’s family. She has been well educated, speaks French admirably and plays upon the piano with much skill. She was at school in Europe for more than a year. The late Senator Logan's daughter, ?vho is quite handsome, married Maj. Tucker, a paymaster in the army, now sta tioned in Washington, and his successor, Senator Farwell, also has a married daugh ter, Mrs. De Koven, who, when her father was here a few weeks back as member of the House of Representatives, was greatly admirod in Washington society. She has since her father’s accession to the Senate spent but a short time in Washington. Mrs. Tucker, the late Senator Logan’s daughter was, with her mother, often seen at social gatherings in November and De cember, before her father’s illness began. Mrs. Tucker is young and handsome, a brunette in coloring. The only surviving daughter of Senator Beck, of Kentucky, is the wife of Paymas ter Goodloe, of the United States Marine Corps, who is also a native Kentuckian. Maj. and Mrs. Goodloe always lived with her parents, during the session of Congress, in Washington city, and they spent much of their time during the recess with their daughter and her husband on the farm in Maryland, a few miles outside of Washing ton, which Senator Beck purchased five or six years ago and presented to liis daugh ter. The two daughters of Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, Mrs. White and Mrs. "Good man. discharge all the social duties for their mother, whose health is very bad. They are young and pretty and very fond of gaiety, so when they visit their parents they make the house very lively. As will be seen by the brief allusions made to the married daughters of Senators, which does not include all of those belong ing to that category, several of them have married into the army or navy or marine corps, as young ladies who find husbands in Washington are most apt to do. The officer who marries the daughter of a Senator, or Representative, is likely tojhave agood post thereafter through the influence of his father-in-law, ana generally is kept in Washington or not far from it. The most widely known and popular of the Senators’ daughters who have taken prominent places in Washington society in the past ten years derives her pre-eminence apart from her personal attraction more from her position as the wife of a member of the Cabinet than from her close relation ship to a Senator—the lady being Mi's. Whitney, the wife of the popular Secretary of the Navy, who is also the daughter of Senator Payne, of Ohio. Mrs. Whitney, who excels in dispensing hospitality, being very cordial in manner and ready in conver sation. greatly enjovs society, but has seemed far happier since her infant daugh ter came on Jan. 23 (the first child born to her in nine years) in assuming all the duties of motherhood than when, clad in costly satin or velvet and rare laces, and wearing numerous diamond ornaments of great value, she shone last winter and spring as a leader in Washington social life. She her self says when clasping the pretty girl in her arms: “This is better than all." Her happiness makes her prettier than ever before. Her hair has many gray t hreads in it, but her face is young and sun ny. She has two l>oys and a girl older than the baby. The little girl, who was the last f receding child, died a few years ago in 'aris, which was a great grief to both the parents, and probably this sorrow hastened the coming of the white threads in Mrs. Whitney’s hair, for she is still a young wom an. The only child of Senator Sherman, the President pro tempore of the Senate, is a daughter named Mary, to whom he and his wife are very deeply attached. She has been given every advantage in education, including a sojourn of several months in Europe with Mrs. Sherman, a few years back. She finished her studies and made her debut in society last winter. She is a blonde in coloring, has a modest manner and a gentle disposition. T?vn of the prettiest and most popular in society among the daughters of Senators were the daughters of Senators Dolph and Mitchell—from Oregon. 'The two gentle men were law partners in Oregon. Mr. Dolph is now the senior Senator from the State, because his term began before the present one of his colleague, but the latter had several years before served a term in the Senate. Few girls belonging to Senators’ families were as often seen at lashionable entertainments in the national capital as Miss Mitchell and Miss Agnes Dolptr. The former grew up in Washington, and after her father's first term in the Senate concluded (she heing then under 16) she went with her mother to Europe, where she spent several years and acquired many accomplishments. She speaks French, say those of that nation, as well as a native by birth and parentage of France. She has a perfect complexion, the skin being unusually white and very clear, and her hair is a light brown. She is rather petite in figure, but well proportioned. She receives great attention from ladies as well as gentlemen, and is considered indispensa ble at the dinners, lunches and dances given by the diplomatic corps, but she never for gets to be polite and kind to the other girls, even to the point of finding partners for those who have none for a german. She herself is always engaged for all the “fixed events,” In the way of dances, for weeks ahead. She dresses' simply, wears no jewels and carries no flowers. Miss Agues Dolph, who made her debut at a ball given her in this city by her nar ents last year, and whose recent marriage was reported in the daily press, has a most sparkling face, and a tall, slender, well-pro portioned figure, which, as she carries tier self well, gives her a commanding appear ance for one so young. Bhe has very bright, dark eyes, and a clear brune com plexion. She was thoroughly educated at one of the lest schools in the East, speaks French well and plays the piano and banjo admirably. Kh© is "of great assistance to her mother (whom she much resembles) both in social and charitable duties. Bhe spent several montiis last year in Europe with her mother. She dresses in most excellent taste in well chosen colors and rich material. Miss Daisy Hampton (daughter of Sena tor Hampton, of South Carolina), has ac companied her father to Washington for three successive winters, and, her mother being dead, has represented the family in society, receiving calls on Thursdays, and returning them in person. Though very young when first she tiegim, two years ago, the always trying duty of mingling in this way with strangers, for most of those who visited her when she first came she had never met before, previously. Miss Hampton showed herself fully equal to the occasion and even when reviving entirely alone, was not only perfectly at her case, but shower! wonderful reaninewi in beginning conversation and tact in choice of subjects. She is a sparkling brunette with very bright gray eyes, vailed by long, dark lash os, and and a clear skin with rosy cheeks. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, whose mother was one of the noted Perry family, ail aunt of Mrs. August Belmont, of New York, and whose wife was the daughter of the late Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina, has two daughters in society, the youngest of whom, Klise. has ceased to he a school girl quite recently. Khe is very modest and shy, so has not often accompanied her mother and sister to Washington entertain ments. She has a decided talent for paint ing, and reeenibles her father in personal ap pearance. Both Kir 1 * have had the advantage of European travel, and of studying there un der the l>est teachers, and s|r*ak French per fectly. The elder, Marie, who bears a strong likeness to her mother Jin cast of features, and almost colorless complexion, is a fine performer on the piano, and has a real tal ent for music. The daughter of Senator Cullom, of Illi nois, a tall, slender blonde, has a face strangely like those seen in portraits of the Madonna, both in its shape, cast of features and coloring. She is very fond of society mid constantly seen at Washington parties. IfThe only daughter of Senator V oorhees nas a fine "voice, while she has highly culti vated, having a great love, as well as a great talent, for music. But the sudden death in January of her mother, to whom she was most tenderly devoted, and whose constant companion she had been, will make her feel little inclined to sing for a long time to come, for she has been perfect ly crushed by her bereavement. The only daughter of Senator Mahone. of Virginia, made her dehut in society this winter. She Is a slender, delicate-looking girl with dark eyes and hair, and is too timid to make any display of her accomplishments incoin jxiny. She is a good musician and is con sidered to have a voice of rare quality which deserves the highest cultivation. Senator Mahone presented his daughter during the past winter with a magnificent piano made to order, and of the most eostlv material. It is beautifully ornamented, and created quite a sensation when it ar rived at tlie hotel where Senator Mahone and his family live. Miss Mahoiie is very fond of horseback exercises, lias her own horse, and rides daily when the weather permits in Washing ton. Senator “Joe” Blackburn, of Kentucky, has two daughters, one of whom usually spends the winter w ith him in Washington —their names are Thereseand Corinne, and the latter, who is the younger, has been with her father this winter. Both are pret ty girls and very lively in conversation. Senator and Mrs. Sabin, of Minnesota, have no children of their own, but have adoptedthree little orphans, two of Whom— brother and sister—lost their parents w ithin one year. They fro the children of the late Delegate Raynitmd, of Dakota, and have been treated in all respects by their adopted jiarents as if they were their own flesh and blood, as the other adopted child has also. Mrs. Sabin attended the funerals of Mr. and Mrs Raymond, and was so moved with pity for the orphaned boy and girl that de spite the fact that she hail already one adopt ed child, which most ladies would consider enough, she obtained her husband's consent to take the little Raymonds into then - home also, and every advantage which the great wealth of Senator Sabin can give in the way of education will be offered the three children. Senator Sabin has six other waiVls. lie sides tiie three in his own home, making nine in all, and so far as possoible gives pa ternal care to each of them. DIVING FOR MILLIONS. The Hunt for the Sunken Spanish Treasure Begun Tuesday. Philadelphia, June 29.—Yesterday morning the schooner William P. Orr, which has been lying at the Christian street wharf, near Simpson's dry dock, for the last week, started for the breakwater to raise the Brit ish privateer Deßraak. which is supposed to have been sunk in 1798 with two Spanish galleons, containing $9,000,000. The Sub marine Company, of this city, failed to find the vessel last fall, but since that .time, on money advanced by Dr. Seth Panooast, the vessel which is supposed to hold the treasure trove is believed to have been located. Dr. Pancoast, through his attorney in liondon, has ascertained that the privateer Deßraak, sailing - ' with letters of marque issued by the British government, was sunk in the Delaware river off Lewes in company with two galleons from the West Indies. Tradition and history of the Delaware coast point to the exact spot where the grappling irons of the Submarine Company were sunk Tuesday. According to Prescott’s “Con quest of Mexico" the Spanish galleons never sailed with Jess than $3,000,000 and often with much more. The company estimates the treasure in the two boats, therefore, at $7,000,000, to which they aid 50 per cent, of private funds supposed to be on b >ard, which will bring the sum up to $9,000,000. Of this the government receives 10 per cent., the remainder being divided between Dr. Pancoast and the Submarine Company. One of the cannon in the Deßraak has already lieen grappled, the points of the irons, it is said, showing the verdgris scra|ed from the sides of the copper gun. The diver who succeeds in bringing up the first cannon has been promised a suit of clothes from hat to shoes. The outfit of the schooner Orr is one of the most complete which lias ever been put together. It is rigged with a suction pump with a capability of bringing up from twen tv-five to thirty" tons of water an hour, and throws a six-ineh diameter stream upon a sieve through which whatever is brought from the bottom will have to pass or fall. A condenser for the purpose of furnishing the divers with air has lieen purchased, which will do away with man power at the pumps and is capable of compressing 125 pounds of air to tne square inch. The crew is composed of three divers, three attend ants, the engineer, cook and firemen, all picked men. They are under contract not to leave the vessel for three months, and whatever fresh provisions are furnished them will lxi brouglit on board by the en gineer, who will be the only person permitted to leave the vessel. A QUESTION OP CITIZENSHIP. An Ex Naval Officer of the United States Who Joined the Confederate Army. From the Macon (Ga.) Telepraph. When the United States Court met Tues day morning Capt. W. W. Carnes, who had been summoned as a talas juror, raised the question of his inelgihility to servo as a juror and claimed exemption from jury duty in the Uuited States Court on the ground that he had been in the naval service of the United States before the war and lun 1 re signed to accept service under the Confed erate government, and that his disabilities had not been removed. He stated that he claimed to be as loyal now to the Stai-s and Stripes as any man. but that as he was de prived from holding any office, civil or military, by the fourteenth amendment, lie thought ho ought to be exempt from jury duty in the United States courts. Judge Speer ruled that the qualifications and exemptions of jurors in the United States courts were prescribed by the act of Congress of June .10, 1879, and made the same as in the State courts, and that the question of the juror’s eligibility bn tlie grounds mentioned, iviuld only lie raised by the goveriunent, if it could l>e raised at all under section 821 Revised Statutes, that it was not a personal privilege, and that the government, through Its officers, declined to raise it in this case, and that the court rec ognized in Capt. Carnes h good and loyal citizen, not the less so, because, like the Judge presiding, he might at one time in hi* life have lieen found firing upon the ting. Capt. Carnes then desired to know whether in the event the United States en gaged in a war with a foreign nation, and nis company, the “Macon Volunteers,” should offer their services to the United States government, he would be allowed to command them. The Judge replied that, so far as the court had authority in the matter, lie had full idierty to lend the Macon Volun teers if call**! upon in the service of his country. The juror was not excused. A New York policeman, having a warrant for a woman who was wanted oil Rime small charge preferred by a neighbor, refused to serve it when he found that the woman wn* engaged In noising two of her children who were ill with scarlet fever. He expected to he dismissed on returning to the court, nod was greatly *ur pnsed when, on telling the Judge the circum stances in the case, the Udder complimented in stead of censuring him. The nobbiest line of Straw Hats in the city to be aeon at. Apnel tt Schauta. THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH. Maj. Burke, of New Orleans, Explains Its Prosperity. Frcnn the Xew York Star. Hon. E. A. Burke, State Treasurer of Louisiana, was seen by a reporter at the St. James last evening. In the course of a conversation the progress of the South was commented on. Maj. Burke, whose active connection with matters relating to South ern industries, as director general of the World's Exposition, and general knowledge of the Southern States, qualities him to speak on the subject, talked at length upon that theme. His attention was called to a statement attributed to Mr. Lamar, indicating that values were speculative, and that the growth ofSouthem cities and towns had been largely at the expense of the country or agricul tural communities. ‘‘l should hesitate to criticise the remarks of so good a friend of the South, and appre hend that he was misunderstood,” replied Maj. Burke. ‘‘The growth of the South has been steady and rapid for the past ten years, and was greatly accelerated by the exposi tions at Atlanta, Louisville and New Or leans, as will be seen by a reference to a comparison between the conditions existing in 1880 and on Jan. 1,1887. ‘•Hero are the figures, - ’ he said, drawing a memorandum from his pooketbook. By improved cultivation of the soil, diversification of crops and better labor, our crops are now valued at $745,000,000 1680 612,800,000 Increase 132,600,000 Or 22 per cent. “Live stock has increased in value $247,- 000.000, or fit* per cent, since 1860. “Fruit and garden crops show an increase of $13,000,000. “Saw mill and forest products increased $22,500,000. “Our fisheries and canning establishments are competing with Baltimore for the trade of the \\ est. “Cotton still reigns, but is now only one third of the South's agricultural yield. “These figures surely exhibit a'gratifying increase in agriculture and industries other than manufacturing. The development of mineral resources has imparted a healthy growth to Southern manufactures, as will be seen by glancing over the list. “The increase from 1880 to Jan. 1, 1887, has been: Factories 19.600 Capital in factories $192,500,000 Hands 172.300 Products 218.900.UU) “A large number of furnaces are being erected, coal mines opened and railroads extended, all of which tend to draw to the South skilled mechanics, and persons en gaged in carrying on factories. These pay rolls build cities and towns, and will con tinue to increase the growth of all of them that are favorably located. “Take the increase of manufactures in the respective Southern States, and it will readily be seen why cities and towns are springing up in all of them: INCREASE SINCE 18S0. Georgia $31,457,000 Kentucky 30.961.000 Tennessee 28.469.UX1 Alabama 26.i59.U10 Virginia 24.988.UX1 South Carolina 18.600.UX1 North Carolina 16.800,000 Texas 14.724.000 Louisiana 13,418,000 Arkansas 7.657.000 Mississippi 6.300. UXI Florida 5,225.000 In round figures, total increase of $214,000,000. “Bear in mind, also, that the total in crease of products, farm, live stock, fisher ies and manufactures in the South for the past six years has been $352,000,000, or 3fi per cent., with an increase of only 17 per cent, in population; also that we have gained in assessed value since 1880 $933,000,- suo, or 42 per cent. “The fact of the business is, the South has the richest soil, the best minerals and forests, 39 per cent, of all the arable land in the United States, and can offer cheap homes to fivefold our present population, in a land where they can work twelve months of the year. “We have 239,000.000 acres covered with forests, and the value of our pine alone would, if cut and marketed, be equal to the pro-sent total assessed values of all the South ern States. “Every Southern community is earnestly soliciting immigrants from the North. We want skillet! mechanics, farmers and fruit growers. No locality in the world offers such on inviting field for investment. “In 182fi our paternal government laid out the cities of Floreuce.Triaiia and Bridge port, on the Tennessee river, and put town lots on sale. Presidents Jackson, Madison and Monroe lent their presence to the 'South ern boom’ by attending the sale at Florence, Ala.. where town lots sold as high as #5,U00. “These prices were based upon the ex pectation of furnaces, coal mines and manu factures. The difference between the ‘boom of our daddies’ and that of to-day is that we have built the furnaces and are building more. We have opened our coal mines ana are opening more. Instead of having to de pend wholly upon the opening of rivers, we nave railroads with branches spreading out to evrv mine and furnace, in addition to the water ways, and far in excess of the dreams of our paternal statesmen. “As we are on the subject." he continued, “I may as well give the young men of the North who contemplate changing homes a ‘pointer,’ and some of your elderly manu facturers may profit by it. “We have raised a very good crop of boys since our little unpleasantness ended some twenty-four years ago. They are hammering iron, making buckets ami tulw and master ing the agricultural implements you kindly sent to our expositions, instead of spending their time bossing darkies. I dont think they have begun to make wooden nutmegs gis yet, but they are at work. V “Their ‘daddies’ have pretty generally Vxne to work since they discovered that, under the provisions or the civil service regulations, ‘no Confederate need apply’ for office embraced within the classified lists. Moreover, in every Southern State agricultural and mechanical schools have beou established, and more are being built. “In our twenty-one industrial schools we have 3,12 G boys receiving industrial train ing now, and hope soon to increase the number to 100,090. Every little rebel of this new crop is arming himself to fight for the ‘industrial independence of the South.’ He is not afflicted with the slight est sentiment of disloyalty to the ’old flag,’ on the contrary, a patriotic feeling is grow ing in him. These boys have discovered that the South has Ben-einer ores enough to supply the market with cheap American steel, and patriotic instincts prompt them to look forvvai/mo the time when they will fortify the build up the navy and reduce tli*^P ; jius. "By new crop of hoys is turned forests ami on the iron hills, theirJPpfcr' will, at the present rate of increase, enough to build them shops and mHfsem tools and machinery, and then theWwill he trouble for ‘the man ufacturer over the border.’ “Your young men that desire to change residence and set up for themselves, your manufacturers that want to get close to cheap and abundant, raw material, and your capitalists seeking gooj investments had better come down and occupy the fort. “Within five'years you will pay five times the present prices of coal, iron and wood lands, just as the present purchasers are paying five times the (trices paid five years ago."
