THE MORNING ORE G ONI AN, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1900. ARMY OF POTOMAC Corner-Stone of Fifth Corps Monument Laid ON FREDERICKSBURG BATTLEFIELD Orations Delivered "by General Dan iel E. Sickles and St. George IU Fltrhugh President There. FREDERICKSBURG, Va,, May 25. On the very ground over which the Old Fifth Corps charged at Fredericksburg, Presi dent McKlnley, his Cabinet and General Miles today -witnessed the laying of tha corner-stone of a shaft -which will per petuate in bronze and granite the hero ism of the Army of the Potomac It was an impressive ceremony, and rendered the more so by the fact that among the hun dreds -who witnessed the events were noted leaders of both the Federal and the Con federate forces. Tha' monument was the personal gift of General Daniel Butterfleld to the Na tional Memorial Association. This, in it self, was a uniaue feature, as the battle-field monuments heretofore have been mostly the gifts of corporated societies or furnished by popular subscriptions. Gen. eral Butterfleld was himself present and assisted In the ceremony, but owing to ill health, the committal of the monument to the Secretary of War was made by Col onel Hill, one of the veterans of the Fifth Corps. The ceremony was conducted with dje Masonic rites, and at its completion the Secretary of "War accepted the gift in the name of the American people. The visit of the President to Fredericks burg was primarily In honor of the an nual reunion of the Army of the Potomac. The town was in gala dress and turned out en masse to receive the distinguished visitors. The President and party were v.clcomcd at the Courthouse, which was decorated with the National colors and the various corps flags of the Army of the Potomac Welcoming speeches were made by prominent veterans of the Civil War, and afterward the President held an In formal reception at the home of St. George R. Fitzhugh, where he was welcomed by hundn-ds of the townsfolk, both white and colored. The special train from Washington arrived at 11:10 and found the whole population of this staid Virginia town grouped about the depot or massed alons the main street. with National colors ap pearing everywhere. The President was accompanied by all the members Ci the Cabinet except Secre tary Wilson. There were also in the. party General Miles, General Wheeler; ex-Adjutant-General Rugglcs, who was the Colonel of the President's old regiment during the war, and the Marine Band, The procession formed at the depot, and, headed by the Marine Band, moved at once to the Courthouse, where public exercls-is were held and an official welcome tendered to the Army of the Potomac The address of w elcome was delivered by St. George R. Fitzhugh and response wan made by General Martin T. McMahon. Mr. FItzhugh's address was a striking piece of oratorical work. He paid the highest tribute to the Army of the Po tomac and to their Confederate opponents, saying that to erase the name of the Snottsylvania battle-field from the history of the American Army would be to rob It of half Its glory. The fame blood shed on the Fredericksburg fields, he said, still flowed In the veins of the Americn ol dler. Wherever the American arms mJgnt be in the future, whether those who bore them were ex-Federals or ex-Confederates or descendants of the two, they would stand shoulder to shoulder and their rec ord would be one that would take no luster "from the glory of the Stars and Stripes on the bloody battlefields of Virginia. Presi dent McKlnley and his Cabinet officers ap plauded this sentiment heartily, and the speaker was lustily cheered by the large audience. Gencrnl Sickles' Oration. The oration of the day was then deliv ered by General Daniel E. Sickles, who said in part: "If It be true that the world had never seen such a gigantic conflict between peo ple of the same nationality as that which severed the North and South within the memory of millions of survivors. It is equally remarkable that history chronicles no example of a reconcllation so spon taneous, so prompt, and so complete as was shown by the Spanish-American War to have followed the civil strife that shook this continent only a generation ago. "Contemporaneous with the revival of our National fraternity was the happy disappearance of the 6tralned relations be tween Great Britain and the United States which had existed with more or less ten sion ever since our War of Independence. 'Jnls fortunate concord between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race, dominating 'our continents by their mili tary and naal power, was an admonition to Europe forbidding Interference In the war between the United States and Spain. Americans will not forget a friend that alone, in Europe, stood for us, when others whose friendship we looked for were in different or hostile." Speaking of Cuba. General Sickles said: "Cuba would have been ours today, as It should be ours, if we had not chosen to renounce that island by a self-denying ordinance, in which wisdom was sacri ficed to sentiment. But Cuba will come to us. all the same, by the laws of political and economical gravitation. "We are honored today by the presence of our chief magistrate and of his excel lency, the Governor of Virginia. As a sol dier of fhe Army of the Potomac, Pres ident McKlnley is our cherished comrade and I am sure I interpret the sentiments of the survivors of the Northern armies nhen I declare my agreement with all our President said In his Southern tour last year. In recognition of the union of patriotic feeling that now pervades the hearts of all our people. The President 'fi to be congratulated because in his public utterances and In his public acts he has endeavored to contribute to the consolida tion of the North and South. "For my own part and speaking only fo: myself. I denounce as mlchievous and reprehensible the utterances of those In high executive authority who venture to rekindle the burnt-out fagots of sectional animosities. ,And of this I am sorry to observe a conspicuous example In a recent public address from the Governor of Georgia to surviving soldiers of the Con federate Army." General Sickles referred to the Boers ns follows:-'. "Thoy have earned the right to have their independence Tcspected by a generous foe. And when the unequal strug gle end:, as It must end be fore long In the occupation of the Transvaal capital. I trust that public opinion In America and Europe and. above all. In England, will be so pronounced In favor of magnanimous terms of peace that the British Government will recognize the wisdom of granting such honorable condi tions of settlement as may lead to a durable reconciliation. "Premature Interference ty any power 3r combination of powers would embitter Great Britain beyond hope of moderation In her demands and provoke a defiance that might inolve a war of unexampled propqrtlons. In such a conflict, this coun try could take no part against England, for England is our friend, while an at titude of strict neutrality may enable us to use our friendly offices in a direction that may contribute to a happy conclusion of the quarrel." The exercises at the Courthouse were followed by a luncheon served In the. opera-house to the members of the soci ety, ladles and invited guests. This was over by 2 o'clock, after which the Presi dent .held a brief reception before the party proceeded to the National Cemetery for ceremonies Incident to the corner- atone laying of the Fifth Corps monu ment. The corner-stone of the monument was laid by General Daniel E. Butterfleld. He had prepared for the occasion a hand some silver trowel, appropriately In scribed, and after the ceremony this was presented to the Masonic Lodge of Fred ericksburg. General Wheeler's Remarks. At the close of the ceremonies, the Presidential party returned to Washing ton, but the reunion services of the So ciety of the Army of the Potomac were continued at night in the opera-house, where addresses were made by a number of veterans, including General Joseph Wheeler, who said In part: "The history of the Army of the Po tomac presents features which are very distinctive in their character. Its record, considering the numbers engaged and the sanguinary character of its battles, pre sents a picture of martial prowess unsur passed by any army of modern limes. In some of the battles In which this army was engaged nearly a third of its offi cers and soldiers were either killed or wounded, while in the great battles of Europe the losses seldom exceeded one seventh, and In many of the European battles which history describes as severe and sanguinary the killed and wounded were on.y from p to 10 per cent of the force engaged. The fearful casualty list of both contending armies In the Civil War was caused by the determined cour age of the army which attacked, and the ttubborn resistance of those who met and resisted the assaulting columns. It was this heroic conduct which brought out to their fullest measure the splend'd qualities of American soldiers. Death Is at all times surrounded by sadness and sorrow, and this is especially true when the victims are the youthful, buoyant spir its who are always first to obey their country's call to arms: but the bravery of such men on the field, where their lives are sacrificed, is the mos precious memory in the history of our country. Their martial example is our pride, glory, safety and strength." AT THE nOTELS. THE PORTLAND. H S Hopan. San Fran S M Irwin. Seattle R C Haramond.Tampa E It Collins. Chicago R D H Vroom. X Y.

Appointment of tee Creed Itevlslon Committee Anti-Canteen Ques tion Cozaes Up. ST. LOUIS, May 5. The most Import ant features of the afternoon session of the General Assembly were the bobbing up again of the Peoria overture which wa thought to have been given a rest by Its adoption by a vote of 2S7 to 23 at the morning session, and the appointment of the creed revision committee. One of the New York commissioners of fered two amendments as substitutes to the sections of the Peoria overture which provide for the number of members of the standing committee and the appointment of chairmen. The substitutes provide that an additional member shall be on each committee, and that the moderator shall appoint -the chairmen of the committees. Action will be taken on the amendments before final adjournment of the assembly. The greater part of the afternoon was occupied by reports of committees. Dur ing the discussion of the report of the committee on temperance. Rev. Hugh La ment, of the Presbyterr of Puget Sound, offered an amendment protesting against the existence, by official permission, of liquor selling In the canteens of the Army of the "United States. This caused a heated debate. The committee had an nounced that It had aimed to draw up j temperate report, and because a canteen section was In the report made by the committee last year no allusion was made to it In this year's report. The standing commmlttee rested on the declaration that "while deploring the exlstenco and the evils of traffic in Intoxicating liquors hi ail parts of the. United States, we heartily commend the efforts of the Government to suppress Intemperance, and urge that the Immoral traffic be restrained, and a rapidly as possible be abolished by all legitimate means In oil places under the jurlsdcton of the United States." Dr. Lamont's amendment was alopted. Moderator Dickey named the following ministers and eld-rs as members of the creed revlson committee: Drs. Herrick Johnson, of Illinois; S. J. Nlcholls, of Missouri; D. W. Fisher, of Indiana; George B. Stewart, of New York; William McKibben. of Pennsylvania; Samuel B. Sprecher. of Ohio; Benjamin J. Warfield. of New Jersey, and S. W. Dana and Eld ers D. R. Noycs, of Minnesota; E. W. Humphrey, of Kentucky: W. R. Craft, of Pennslvanla; John Parsons, of New York; Ex-Presldcnt Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana; El'.sha Frazer, of Michigan, and Justice Jonn M. Harlan, of Baltimore. Dr. Charles A. Dickey was appointed chairman of the committee by the assem bly. Stated Clerk Roberts announced that Philadelphia had been elected as the place of meeting In 1501, and Dr. Dickey named as chairman of the arrangement commit tee. The commissioners expressed general satisfaction concerning the amount cf Im portant business passed upon by the as sembly and results attained, especially the peaceful solution of the McGiffcrt case, the generally conceded wise disposal of the creed revision and the complicated and voluminous Warawalk case, which had been before the church courts for three years. The United Presbyterians. CHICAGO. May t5. A plan by which congregations will be supp led with minis ters without Interruption of serl;es, and which will give steady e-mplojmcnt to every minuter, was presented to the Gen eral Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church today. It was referred to a com mittee. The plan provides that a.1 the churches and preachers wlthm the Juris diction of a synod shall bo subject to tne Jurisdiction of the synod; that the m nis ters shall be appointed to the churches and retired for age or any other cause by the synod.

The majority re port, as presented by Governor Pattl- I eon, of Pennsylvania, favors the removal xrom tne ponai coae oi tne hook oi l:s clpllne" of the matter bearing on this subject and placing it on the advisory. The minority report favors no action. Many of the best debaters of the great Methodist body have announced their intention- of sneaking on the subject. The committee on the state of the church recommended that no action be taken in regard to the licensing of women pa preachers, and this was approved by the conference today. A formal protest against the taxation of legacies to charitable, educat'onal and religious Institutions was made to Con gress by the conference today. The con ference then proceeded to the election of secretaries for the various church so cieties.

Records Broken nt the Trials on Colombia Field. NEW YORK. May 23. The In'er colleglate amateur athletic championship games wcro begun today on Columbia Field before a meager crowd of specta tor and under weather conditions whlcti were anything but promising for a god afternoon's sport. The cinder track was soggy and fully two-flfibs of a secend slow, and the In-field was practically a quagmire. Pennsylvania gathered in enough positions thio'afternoon to warrant a prediction of a v.ctory for the red-and-blue striped athletes tomorrow. Their supremacy can be attributed to the prow ess of A. C. Kraenzleln, who qualified in four event!" today, and has a big possi bility of scoring first honors in the finalj of three out of live of these events. Two Intercollegiate records were broken In the trials, and It Is possible that with good weather and a dry track other rec ords may be broken tomorrow. The rcc ordo broken today were made by the heavy-weight division, and one of thsm for a short time was disputed. In the shot-put, F. Beck, of Yale, created a new Intercollegiate record of 44 feet 3 Inches, the best previous one being held "by J. C McCracken, of Pennsylvania, whose throw was 43 feet $s& Inches, which he made laot year. In the hammer throwing con test, A. Plauw, of California, took the honors by throwing the missile 154 feet 4 inches, which beat the previous recora, held by J. C. McCracken, of Pennsylvania, by several feet, and the collegiate record, also Tield by McCracken, by 9& Inches. FooRht With. n. Broken Hand. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo.. May 25.

Queen Victoria and Anglo-American harmony were cheered to the echo last night, dt the banquet in honor of the Slst birthday of Great Britain's ruler, at the Wellington Hotel. Over 100 men were seated at the table?. Among the speakers were . ex-Con- troller of the currency James a.. .ckcis. Captain Wyndham. Bishop Thoburn. Gen eral J. B. Leake and Bishop Hartzeh. George E. Gooch. chairman of the com mittee which arranged the dinner, acted as toastmaster, and regrets were read from Secretary Hay, the Premier of the Can adian Provinces and from the foreign Con suls in Chicago. Before the toasts were made'a motion was carried amid great enthusiasm to request Captain Wyndham, British Con sul In Chicago, to cable to his ruler the sincere congratulations of those present To the music of "Star Spangled Ban ner," the assemblage toasted "The Pres ident of the United States." James H. Eckels made the response, saying in part. "At no time In the past hundred years has the President of the United States not been a patriot before a partisan. He may be the most rigid of partis are before taking his position, but the conserving properties of the office bring him to act for country first and always before party interests." A reference made by Mr. Eckels to ex Prcsident Cleveland as an example of a President sacrificing party preotlge to the dictates of his conscience, aroused one of the demonstrations oC the evening. Mr. Eckels scathingly denounced the efforts of men who sought to arouse hatred of England in America to secure partisan advantage, declaring that the commerce of the two nations would Increase- from mutual good will and action. The toast. "The Queen," brought the enthusiasm of the evening to a climax, and when Captain Wyndham, the British Consul, rose In response, it continued for several minutes. Captain Wyndham re ferred to the respect and veneration with which Queen Victoria la Held In all parts of Great Britain's possessions.

A Crank Is Mnch Safer Oct of Office Thr.n In. Chicago Times-Herald. Up to the time that the man was sant to Cuba his career had been such that he was commonly regarded with detrust. People who did not question his honesty classified him among tne visionaries. But whatever the construction that was put upon his promoting antics. It Is clear that he was not a person of strict integrity. Such a person cannot be irresponsible In the whole course of his business expe rience, cannot be utterly Insensible to all financial obligations and persistently lead others Into heavy lccses at no r'sk to him self with the lntenticn of becoming rich out of their capital. Colonel Sellers is an amusing character in fiction, but no sane man would trust him in real life or feel that he had any very clear appreciation of the difference between right and w rong. In the actual. If not in the idealized character of the general promoter there is always a suggestion, too. that the pas sionate enthusiasm which is so much In evidence Is not entirely sincere, and to this complexion it had come with Neely when he was loaded onto the public serv ice by "an Influential party leader." The Indiana politicians, it appears, "made sharp demand for Important positions" when all was in readiness for tne estab lishment of a civil form of government lh Cuba, and Neely's friend was one of the most importunate. In his demand for favors there was no hint at the fltnes of the applicant. He simply advanced hl3 own claims to patronage and a share of tho spoils as a party worker. His pro-tege'-' startling unfitness was plainly indi cated in his ultimatum to Rathbone. the director of posts: "I want Neely taken care of. He la up against it financially. Is clever, and I want him placed." A fine recommendation that for a chief of a bu reau of finance! The terms "to take care or' and "to be taken care or' have become almost tech nical, however, in such connections. They are In the mouth of every beggarly loafer who seeks a political sinecure to avoid hard work and imply an obligation wh'ch Is recognized. If It is not always fulfilled, by political traders. Neely went In sim ply on the strength of his "pull," in de fiance not only of the spirit of the civil ficrvlce laws, but of all prudent business considerations. The results correspond to the previous record of Neely's life and to the manner of his appointment. And unless the rule be made absolute that no such appoint ments shall be countenanced In the future this Government can best protect Its good name by withdrawing from the control of distant dependencies at once. If there is need of Americans for administrative positions they should be taken from our own permanent civil service, where they have learned the duties of the various de partments thoroughly and established a reputation for unquestionable integrity. Srenklug Horses In Sonth Africa. From "Among Horses In South Africa," by M. H. Hayes. The way In which horses are broken to saddle in South Africa Is one which I have never seen practiced in any other country. It Is charmingly simple, and has Its good point? as well as i s bad ones. It consis s of tying the head of the neo phyte cloee up to that of a steady horee by means of a cord connecting the re spective headstalls worn by these ani mals. After they have both been sad dled and bridled, the "schoolmaster" is first mounted, and then another man ge's en the young one, who is powerless to buck, rear or run away, on account of his head being fixed. Besides this, the fact of his being alongside another horse gives him confidence, and no matter how wild he may be, he will learn In a short time to carry his burden and regulate his pace according to that of his com panion. As he rettles down quietly to work, the connecting cord may be graa uallv loosened out. until at last It can be taken off altogether. This Is a capital plan If one has a good break-horse, and If one knows no better way. Its great fault Is its tendency to make a horse un willing to go alone. Of course, it has no pretensions to giving a horse a good mouth. A Soldier's Do p. Chambers' Journal. Pafe picture was In the Royal Scottish Academy, representing him as a smooth coated little tyke.
