ator Vest, tn his speech this afternoon
In the senate, paid a touching and beau
-1 tiful tribute to General Wade Hampton,
who will b<- buried tomorrow at Colum

with emotion as he spoke of his old
friend and colleague, and more than
once he paused, scarcely able to pro
cud.
“Yesterday when I cante to the cap

"He commenced hts public life, a* a

in brotherly rivalry the qualities which
had won renown tor tneir tatners, the
men <>f the great war. It was my good
fortune to serve under an ex-confederate
general, gallant old Joe Wheeler, who
comiynnilui th.- cavalrymen at Santiago.
In my regiment there were men whose
fathers had served in the southern is
there were men wnoee tatners nau served
in the northern army. Among the cap
tains there was opportunity to promote
but one to a field rank. The man who
was isngled out for this promotion because

fellow-citizen, Micah Jenkins.
Ex-Confederate in Philippines.
“A few months ago. owing to the en
forced absence of the governor of the
Philippines it became necessary to nomi
nate a vice governor to take Ins place,
—one of llie most important places in our
government al this tune. I nominated as
vice governor an ex-conteilerate. General
Luke Wright, of Tennessee. It Is there
fore an ex-confederute who now stands
as the exponent of this governmi nt and
tills people in that great group of islands
in ilu • astern seas over which the Ain. f
iem flag floats General Wright has
taken a leading part in the work of
Steadily bringing order and peace out of
the chaos in which we found the islands.
He is now taking a leading part not
merely in upholding the honor of the
flag, by making it resected, as the sym
bol of' our power, bat still more in up
holding its honor by unwearied labor
for the establishment of orderly liberty,
of law-creating, law-abiding civil gov
ernment under its folds.
•’Tile progress which has been mule
under General Wright and those like him
has been indeed marvelous. In fact, a
letter of the general’s the other day
seemed to show that he considered there
was far more warfare about the 1 tiilip
pines In this country than there was
warfar< in the Philippines themselves.
It is an added proof of the complete
ness of tile reunion of our country that
one of the foremost men who have been
Instrumental in driving forward th* great
work for civilization and humanity in
the Ph'lippines has been a man who in
the civil war fought with distinction in
a uniform of confederate gray.
"If ever the need comes in the future
the past has made abundantly evident
the fact that from this time on north
erner and southerner will in war know
only the generous desire to strive how
eatcii can do the more effective service
for the flag of our common country. The
same thing is true in the endless work
of peace, the never-ending work of
building ami keeping the marvelous
fabric of our industrial prosperity. The
upbuilding of any part of our country
is ;> lienetit to the whole, and every such
effort as this to stimulate the resource
and industry of a particular section Is
entitled to the heartiest support from
every quarter of the union. Thoroughly
good' national work can be done only if
each of us works hard for himself and
at the same time keeps constantly in
mind that he must work in conjunction
with others.
Our Relations to Cuba.
"You have made a particular effort in
your exhibition to get into touch with
the West Innies. This is wise. Th"
events >'f the last four years have shown
us that the West Indies and the isthmus
in the future ueeupy a far larger place
in our national policy than in tin- past.
Illis is proved by the negotiations tor
the purchase of the Danish islands, the
acquisition of Porto Rieo. the preparation
for building an isthmian, canal, and final
ly the changed relations which these
years have produced between us and
Cuba. As a nation we have an especial
right to take honest pride in what we
have done for Cuba. Our critics abroad
and at home have insisted that We never
intended to leave the island. But on
the noth of next month Cuba becomes .1
free republic, and we turn over to th"
islanders the control of their own gov
ernment. it would he very difficult to
find a parallel in the conduct of any
other great state that has occupied suett
a position as ours. We have kept our
word and Ime our duty just as an
honest individual in private life keeps
his word and do. s his Ji >v.
•’Be it renumbered. however, that after
over tbiee years occupation >f the island,
we turn it over to the Cubans in a bel
ter condition than it ever has been in
the centuries of Spanish rule. This has
a direct bearing upon our own we. fare.
Cuba is s > m ar to us that we can never
be indifferent t< me government and
disaster within its limits. The mr •
fact that our auniinistratian in th"
islands his minimized the danger from
the dreadful scourge ot yellow fever
alike to Cuba and to ourselves, is sutti
cient to emphasize the community of in
terest between us. But there are other
interests which bind us together. Cuba’s
position makes it necessary that her po
litical relations witli us should diff-r
from her political relations with other
powers. This fact has been formulated
by us and accepted by th" Cubans in the
Platt amendments. It follows as a cora.i
lary that whore the Cubans have thus
assumed a position of relationship to oar
political system they must similarly
stand in a peculiar relationship to our
economic system.
What Cuba Must Do.
"We have rightfully insisted upon
Cuba adapting toward os an attitude
differing political I }' from tint she adopts
toward any other power; and in return,
as a matter of tight, we most give -o
Cuba a different—that is. a oetter—posi
tion economically in her relations with
us than we give to other powers. This
is the course dictated by sound poll y.
by a wise and far-sighted view of our
own interest and by the position we have
taken dming the p.ist lour years. \\ ■
are a wealthy and powerful country,
dealing with a much weaker one; and
the contrast in ji'ealth and strength
makes it al! the n ore our duty to d. il
witli Cuba as we have already dealt
with her. in a spirit of large generosity.
"This exposition is rendi red possible
because of the period of industrial pros
perity through which we are passing.
While material well-being is never all
sufficient to ‘he life of a nation, vet it is
the merest truism to say that its ab
sence means ruin We need to build a
higher life upon it as a foundation; but
we can build little, indeed, unless this I
foundation of prosperity is deep and
broad. T'iio well-being which we are
now enjoying can be secured on'y
through general business prosperity, and
such prosperity is conditioned upon the
energy and hard work, the sanitv and
the mutual respect of all classes of cap
italists. large and small, of wage-earn
ers of every degree. As is inevitable in a
time of business prosperity, some men
succeed more than others, and it is un
fortunately also inevitable that when this
is the case some unwise people are sure
to try to appeal to the envy and jealousy
of those w’ho succeed least. It is a good
thing when these appeals are made to
remember that while it is difficult to in
crease prosperity by law. it is easy
enough to ruin it. and that there is small
satisfaction to the less prosperous if
they succeed in overthrowing lx>th the
more prosperous and themselves in the
crash of a common disaster.
Social and Economic Questions.
"Every industrial exposition of this type
necessarily calls up the thought of the
complex social and economic questions
which are involved in our present indus
trial system. our astounding material
prosperity, the sweep and rush rather
than the mere .arch of our progressive
material development, have brought grave
troubles in their train. We cannot af
ford to blink at these troubles any more
titan because of them we can afford to ac
cept as true the gloqrny forebodings < ( f
the prophets of evil. rhere in in 1t
problems before us. They are not in
soluble, but they can be solved only it’
we approach them in a spirit of resolute
fearlessness, of common sense and of
honest intention to do fair and equal
justice to all men alike. We are certain
to fail it we adopt the policy of tile dem
agogue, who raves against the wealth
which is simply the form 01 embodied
thrift, foresight and intelligenet ; who
would shut the door of opportunity
against those wnose energy we should
especially foster by penalizing the qual
ities which tell for success, ’list as lit
tie can we afford to follow those who fear
to recognize injustice and to endeavor to
cut it out because the task is difficult or
daug7rous' r£or,nvtJ by unskilled hands-

BABY PROVED A GODSEND
To Miss Ellen Stone and Her Com
panion in Captivity.
New York, April 10. —Miss EJ’en M
Stone, the missionary who was cap’.’.'’ 1
by brigands in Bulgaria and hld t
ransom, arrived here today on the
Deutschland. She looked pale and worn,
and said the sea voyage had made he ■
very ill. She was met at the steam-.’ s
pier by h.-r brother, Charles A. Stoae.
and by many other relatives and frien Is
Miss Stone said the brigands were not so
fierce as might have been imagined. T!
said many insulting things, but
struck nor beat either 1 er or her e in
panioii, Mme. Tsilka.
"There have been several reports print
ed which states that Mme. Tsilh :>1

said Miss Stone, “but that is a mistake.
I was the one they wanted, and tin •
ways take a married lady to chaperenc a
single one. no matter how old the laster
1 may be. The brigands meant to t>k the
first married woman they came across to
accompany me. but the one they first
found happened to be Mrs. Wisclieva. a
native missionary and a widow, who was
very Hi at the time. Mrs. Tsilka ’a’-
therefore, decideil on by the brigand*,
for which 1 was very thankful a£te'-
s ’ and 1 wUI tell You why.
Seven weeks before we were reb g 4
a baby was born to Mrs. Tsilka The
brigands had. by this time, become
insulting and cruel in their remarks, that
It was becoming unbearable. The appear
ance of the baby stopped all this, for th®
reason that the brig.,nds of Turkey I--

It was when the negotiations for our

treatment. 'You are t>> die twenty days
from tow.’ or We will put a bullet in
your qrain soon,' were some of the pleas

Miss Stone said she would go at once
to t hel sea. Mass., to see her mother, who
