WASHINGTON, April 30 .- Since 1 o'clock this afternoon the remains of General Fitzhugh Lee have been lying in state at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, on G Street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth

Streets, Northwest. The casket remained at Providence Hospital to-day in the main reception room until it was removed quietly to the church. Mrs. Lee and a group of relatives and friends went from the hospital to the church in carriages. The body will lie in state at the Church of the Epiphany until 12 o'clock to-morrow, when brief services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, rector of the church. The remains will be escorted from the Church of the Epiphany to the Pennsylvania Railroad station immediately after the service.


May 1. 12 o'clock. Leaving church. Music, military escort, clergy, caisson, pall-bearers, mourners, official delegation representing the State of Virginia and the City of Richmond.


After the arrival of the funeral party in Richmond the casket will be escorted by the military to the place where the remains will lie in state until the funeral. The body cannot lie in state in the Capitol, because it is being dismantled for improvements. Mrs. Lee was last night desirous of having the body lie in state at St. Paul's Church, where the funeral services are to be held. It seems probable, however, that the remains will lie in state in the City Hall of Richmond.


General Lee not long ago expressed the wish to Mrs. Lee to be buried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, near the graves of Winnie Davis and Jeb Stuart. General Lee had always wanted to be buried near Jeb Stuart. Hundreds of telegrams were received from all over the country and abroad.


RICHMOND, VA., May 2 .- General Fitzhugh Lee's funeral will be held from St. Paul's Church here at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. His son, Lieutenant George Mason Lee, will reach Washington from San Francisco Wednesday afternoon and will be in Richmond that evening. Bishop A. M. Randolph, assisted by several clergymen, will officiate at the funeral, which will be the most impressive since the reinterment of Jefferson Davis. The body of the General will remain in the rotunda of the City Hall until a short time before the funeral.


May 3 .- All the militia of Virginia will march to-morrow afternoon in the procession from St. Paul's Church to Hollywood Cemetery, when the remains will be laid to rest in a section adjacent to that of President Jefferson Davis. All the Confederate camps will be represented. All the public schools will be closed and thousands of the children will walk in the procession to Hollywood. Each child will contribute a single flower to the floral offerings at the grave.


General Lee left Washington several weeks ago in the interest of the Jamestown Exposition, for which he had been working very hard. He was in Boston yesterday (April 27, 1905), to advocate the representation of Massachusetts in the Exposition, and in the afternoon appeared before the Legislative Committee on Federal Relations, making a strong address in favor of the erection of a State building by Massachusetts at the Exposition.

VIRGINIA FAMILIES


The General's brilliant record as a soldier in both the Confederate and United States armies, and his masterly administration as Consul-General at Havana, during the exciting period leading up to the Spanish-American War, made him conspicuous as a man among men.


Fitzlugh Lee entered West Point at the age of sixteen and was graduated in July, 1856, at the head of his class in horsemanship, and was appointed second lieutenant in the famous old Second Cavalry, which regiment furnished so many officers afterwards distinguished in the Civil War. He was sent to the Western frontier and became an Indian fighter in Texas under Major Earle Van Dorn. At the outbreak of the Civil War Fitzhuglı Lee found himself back at West Point as an instructor in cavalry tactics. He promptly resigned, and offered his services to his native State, serving first on the staff of General Ewell, then as Lieutenant- Colonel of the First Virginia Cavalry, under J. E. B. Stuart, whom he accompanied on his famous raid around MeClellan's Army in front of Richmond.


The last fighting done by the Army of Northern Virginia was the cavalry charge headed by Fitzhugh Lee at Farmville, a few miles from Appomattox, on the 8th of April, 1865, when the Confederates werc suc- cessful in driving back the Federal cavalry division of General Crook.


The personal friendship between Fitzhugh Lee and President Cleveland dated from the latter's first inauguration, March 4, 1885. The day after the inauguration Lee called upon President Cleveland by special invitation. In the same year General Lee was elected Governor of Virginia and served from 1886 until 1890. Eight years afterward, when Cleveland was again President, he appointed General Lee Collector of Internal Revenue at Lynchburg, Va. In the spring of 1896 President Cleveland appointed Fitzhugh Lce as Consul-General to Cuba, combining with the usual duties of the office the active requirement that he should inform himself as a military man of the real status of affairs in the island for the guidance of the President. General Lee's resignation had been on file in Washington several months already, when in November, 1897, he came here and reported in person to President Mckinley. General Lee's days in Havana in the early part of 1898 were among the most exciting in his long life of activity, and reached a climax when he quit Havana on April 9, with the American flotilla, which headed toward Key West with its many American passengers.


THE RETURN OF A HERO


The trip of General Lee from Key West to Washington in April was that of a conquering hero. He arrived in Washington on the evening of April 12, and the entire city turned out to welcome him, cheering him to the echo. Fully 4,000 persons were at the depot when his train pulled in, and officials of the Government were on hand to greet him. When he landed at Tampa, the Fifth Batallion of Florida State troops turned out with a band, and the trip from Tampa to Washington smashed all records, cutting

nine hours off the regular schedule time. Crowds were at every station along the line, but the reception at Richmond was notably enthusiastic.


The arrival of General Lee in Richmond brought out one of the largest crowds and caused one of the most remarkable demonstrations ever wit- nessed in the old capital of the South. When his train pulled into the city the Howitzer battery fired the major-general salute of thirteen guns; the band played "Dixie" amid a shout which fairly shook the roof of the train-shed, and the Richmond Light Infantry Blues and many other organi- zations were on hand, with Governor Tyler, and about 18,000 persons. The crowd, with a thundering shout, demanded a specch. General Lee bowed, said he was still in official harness and could not publicly discuss Govern- ment affairs. "But," he said, "I was reared a soldier, and believe more in action than in words."


Prolonged applause greeted this, and then General Lce said: "You fel- lows must want to fight." "We do, we do, and under you," came the reply from the military. General Lee afterwards said this was the proudest moment of his life, and his car was loaded down with flowers when he left Richmond for Washington.


At the outbreak of the Spanish War General Lee was, in May, 1898, appointed major-general of volunteers, and went to Cuba in command of the Seventhi Army Corps. He was honorably discharged April 12, 1899, and breveted brigadier-general of the regular army, and in February, 1901, he was appointed brigadier-general in the permanent establishment, com- manding the Department of the Missouri, and on March 2, 1901, he was placed on the retired list.


VII. Major General George Washington Lee7 (Robert®, Anne Carter5, Charles+, John3, Robert2, John1), b. at Fortress Monroe, Va., September 16, 1832. His earliest school days were passed at Clarens, in Fairfax Co., Va., under the Rev. George A. Smith. Later he entered the classical school of Benjamin Hallowell, Alexandria, Va., where his father had studied before him. Presi- dent Zachary Taylor nominated him to a cadetship at West Point. He entered the institution June, 1850. In June, 1854, he gradu- ated at the head of his class, having spent four years in the United States army. On May 2, 1861, he resigned from the U. S. army to enter the service of his native State. On the last of August, 1861, he was appointed aide-de-camp to the President of the Confederate States, with rank of colonel.


In the autumn of 1865 General Lee received the appointment to the chair of Civil and Military Engineering at the Virginia Mil- itary Institute, at Lexington. He continued in his professorship until after his father's death, when, February 1, 1871, he was

Smith, near Alexandria, Va., then with a Mr. McNally, of Baltimore, Md., and lastly, under the care of a Mr. Nugent, of York City, he entered Harvard College in the autumn of 1854. In 1857 Mr. Lee was appointed a lieutenant in the army at the personal request of General Seott. Upon receiving his ap- pointment to the army Mr. Lee left Harvard to join his regiment, · the Sixth Infantry. When he married he settled down a typical Virginia farmer.

December 26, 1863, while her husband was a prisoner. Their son was named after his grandfather, Robert Edward Lee.

Though the students of the University were ex- empted from army service, all the young men of suitable age has- tened to join the Southern army; among them, Robert E. Lec, Jr. In February, 1862, he joined the famous "Roekbridge Artillery" as a private and served with it until appointed a lieutenant and aide to his brother, General W. H. F. Lee. He continued with the cavalry staff until the close of the war, rising to the grade of captain.

EXTRACTS FROM DIARY OF COL. LANDON CARTER.


Col. Landon Carter, of Sabine Hall, kept a very minute diary of his plantation life, some portion of which has come into the possession of the editor, from Robert Carter Wellford, Esq., to whom it has descended. While most of it is given up to the details of planting and Col. Carter's reflections upon all sorts of things, we eatch occasionally some very interesting glimpses of society in the Northern Neck before the Revolution.


Col. Carter was the son of Robert Carter, who, according to the "Gentleman's Magazine," left at his death, on August 4, 1722, 300,000 aeres, 1,000 slaves and £10,000 in money. Col. Carter lived at "Sabine Hall," on the Rappahannock River. His brother, John Carter, resided at Corotoman, near the mouth of the river. Another brother, Charles Carter, up the river at "Cleve," King George County, and a third brother, Robert Carter, resided at Nomini, on the Potomac. The nearest neighbors of Col. Carter were the Fauntleroys, and above them was Col. John Taylor, at Mount Airy. Col. Landon Carter served in the House of Bur- gesses from 1748-1764, and was prominently engaged in politics. Ile married three times :


(1) Elizabeth, daughter of Jolin Wormeley, of Rosegill.


(2) Maria, daughter of William Byrd, of Westover.
