Robert C. Tay lor of Tennessee. - GLOWING TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE AND WORKS OF Z. B. VANCE. Asheville put on a perfect holiday air today in honor of the exercises that formally mark the completion and ded ication of the monument erected to the memory of that noble North Carolin ian, Senator Zebulon Baird Vance. There was almost general decoration on the part of business firms on the streets near the heart of the city, and flags and bunting fluttered everywhere in honor of the occasion and the visit o Uovernor Robert L. Taylor of Tennes see, the orator of the day. ueaicauun day opened as beautifui as the most exacting resident of this city cf beautifui days could ak, ami the weather clerk continued to use hie &od oiiicts, although' there were mo-iiit-niaj-y lapses into cloudiness. Aianj people from out of town were on the iUetts, and mingied wuh the Ash- viwtiaiis to make the s.-v-i-.e h. quaie an animated one.

At Z.i a- large number of memtets 6i Zeouion Vance camp, United Cwued- eraie V elerans, appeared on tne square marching up from their hall on toutl Alain. At the same moment Uovernoi Taylor appeared on the stand, escorteu oy PresiUent tieorge S. Powell of th Monument association, and Col. James Al. Kay. Among the ladies on th rostrum were Airs. Loretta liaird anu Mrs. H. IS. Carter, respectively mother-in-law and sister-in-law of the distin guished Tenncsseean, and these were greeted with a kiss by the Governor. A music number followed, combining "Yankee Doodle,'' "Tenting on tne Oiu Camp C round" and, of course, "Dixie.' V hen tile tirst note of the latter brok forth, there came after it a shout that rattled the leaves of the tiees about Monument square. President i'oweil then introduced Governor Taylor in a few fitting words, referring to him as a man who occu pied to Tennessee much the same posi tion that Senator Vance occupied to North Carolina the tribune of the peo ple. Uovernor Taylor was greeted with a rousing cheer, and immediately began his oration. He said: GOV. TAYLOR S SPEECH. Lilies and Gentlemen: I cnie to join you in paying the last tribute of honor and love to the memory of a man whose life was a burst of sunshine to his peopie and a blessing to his coun try. When Zebulon B. Vance was born the angels smiled, his mother pressed him to her bosom and smiled, and when he began to toddle from the door of his happy home, prattling to the birds and chasing the butterfly from tfower to Mower, aJl who saw him smiled. A.nd soon smiles burst into laughter and laughter followed in his footsteps and cheered him all along the journey of life, from the humble cottage among the Carolina hills to the magnificent capitol of the Republic where he sat in the highest council of the nation, crowned with honors and blessed with the love and confidence of the State which he so grandly and nobly repre sented until death entered the Senate chamber and laid his icy hand upon the throbbing heart of mirth and turn ed laughter into tears Never again will his people be en tranced by his eloquence. Never again will the enraptured multitudes listen to the music o his voic. Never again will solemn Senators turn away from their dignity to delight in the glow of his genial spirit. The warmth of joy has departed from his lips, and the light of life has vanished from his eyes. The Star that once shed glory upon the Old North State has set forever. A coffin, a winding sheet, and six feet by two of mother earth, .a monument and precious memories, are all that is left of the orator and actor, the humanita rian, the statesman and patriot the pride of his countrymen, the idol 'of his country. The book of his destiny is sealed, his IMlgrimage between the two eternities has ended in" the tomb. The Angel of Death has stopped the pendulum that vibrated in his bosom, but let us re joice in the hope that his soul now swings to and fro on angel wings in the Paradise of God. ' It would be presumptious folly in me to parade in your presenc today the noble traits of character, and the thrill ing events of his life, which have en riched the history of his State and made his name immortal. They are thoroughly known to you all. When I was a barfooted boy, romp ins among the hills of Tennessee, the news of the fame and the tidings of his marvelous campaigns used to eome floating over the mountains, and rip pling with laughter into the peaceful homes of our people. .The boys heard his yarns and rolled on the floor with merriment. The old ladies sat at the fireside and cackled at his- anecdotes, and the sturdy old farmers listened to his tories in the fields and stopped their plows to laugh. His name was on the lips of all as thfe Apostle of SunsTrtn and the Disciple bf human happiness. No power ever ihecked the irtumpnal march of the you Nat ul mountaineer to the glorious destiny which awaited him. No political foe ever withstood his wit and humor and logic and his matcniess eloquence. They w ere his passports to the legislature and to Congress while yet a youth in his twenties, and as he grew older his powers developed, his wings grew stronger, and he became one of the leading spirits of his section. His popularity was unparalleled, his influence was invincible, and he sat at last as the great war Governor of North Carolina until the war ended, whn the doors of the United fciiates Senate epened to receive him where he served his people, faithfuiiy until the day of his death. Through all his long and brilliant career his love of hu manity never waned and his devotion to his country never colled. Always ready w itn a charming story to tell, always quick at repartee, always brim full of fun, he was the great -laugh producer and side splitter of the boutn and yet his logic was as convincing as the sword of Stonewall Jackson at Manassas or as the guns of Dewey at Manila, he was as honest as Davis, humorous as Lincoln, eloquent as Dan iels, as -true to the hopes that perish ed at Appomatox as Gordon and For rest, and afterwards as loyal to the Un ion as Wheeler and Lee, who now Wear the blue. Senator Vance was a splendid think er and a statesman of rare ability, but he always looked on the bright side of things, and no music was half so sweet to him as the songs and laughter of the merry throngs of country folks who gathered about him on every oc ;-asion with the shouts and hal lelujahs to while away tne hap py hours. And thus his busy lfe was spent in acdmg to the sum of human happiness. Ther is a prevailing opinion in tne vorld that those who have the power o make others laugh, and who dare to ight Jihe temples of thought wiib the windows of fun are weak and siialiow and-ought not to weild the scepter of; i rultr or sit in the councils oi a na tion. Hut 1 have never been ahle to athom the wisdom of such a philoso phv. I do not believe that a heart of ce is always the badge of a mighty jrain. I do not believe that a frowning brow is always the token of wisdom it is true that some great men frown but all who frown are not great. It is quaily true that a few great men augn, but it must De coniessea mat ill who laugh are not great. But vould rather trust my life and liberty n the hands of a laughing fool, than n the hands of a frowning tyrant. Nations do not suiYer when their rul- rs sincerely smile, and govern with lve and mercy. But (Jod pity the and whose ruler frowns and rules with in iron rod, ana una pity tne rui ;r mmseir. tor tne narvesi oi nis irowns death. The frowns of Caesar made nations tuake, but the harvest of his frowns as Qagtrers concealed under the loaks of snuddering Romans until the olocd of Caesar dripped from the blade f treason in the corridor of the ho nan capitol. Napoleon frowned and the world irembled, but his frowns were only the roih?sies of Waterloo, which left the .lower of France lying dead in pools of jlood, while the uncrowned and un chroned Napoleon wandered aimlessly jn the battlefield "the somnambulist of x vast shattered dream." The' life of Washington eclipses the lory of Caesar, and the beautiful reign f Victoria outshines the romantic re cord of Napoleon's rise and fall. Bismarck is called the Iron Prince, "jut it cost broken heai ts and libations tt blood to bund the throne and cement the Empire of Germany. Glory encir les the brow of Bismarck, and yet the humblest German peasant who scat ters sunshine with his songs and dries the tears of sorrow with his smiles will sleep sweeter tonight in his humbl? cot ihan the Iron Prince in iiis castle. 1 have come to believe that happiness does not often dwell in a palace, for the oubbling si ul of laughter does not sit ipon the throne of a king, and from the mirthless heart of a tyrant, the milk if human kindness never Hows.

TO CUBA IS THE ARMY'S CRY Movement jof Troops to the Front Today. A Great Rush at Chickamau ga Today. IMO NEWS FROM ADMIRAL SAMPS N OF HIS EFFORTS OFF PORTO RICO. WASHINGTON, May 10. The entire army stationed at Chickamauga has been ordered to the front. The move ment begins today. Gen. Miles and staff leave tonight for Tampa to accompany the first expedi tion to Cuba. Secretary Meiklejohn has chartered ai ships, w ith a capacity of 25,000 men. They will be used to convey the troops to Cuba and the Philippines. Up to the time Secretary Long start ed for the cabinet meeting he was without information from Sampson's fleet, concerning any positive action. While there is little doubt the officials know the approximate locality of the fleet it is quite certain nothing has been received as to the cruising and search for the Spanish ships. It is felt the next few hours will determine beyond fur ther question whether the Spanish fleet wmcn leit Cape erde islands, did in fact came to Porto Rico, or diverged northward back to Cadiz for formid v. 1 - auie concentration of the strongest ships of the navy. In the latter event. bampson will have no Spanish fleet to tight, save the smaller craft in Cuban waters. It will leave the course free to the Oregon to make a lunntnro uritv. the fleet, and leave Sampson's hands free for attention to Porto Rico or Cu ba.

It is said here that priests and Sisters of Charity of Ca vite hospital, in a procession, bearing crosses, petitioned Dewey not to mas sacre the sick and wounded, which, naturally, he did not do. The Spaniards tnereupon thanked the Americans for their humanity and repaid them Xy in forming them of a yarrow channel which, they said, was not mined, while the broad channel was fully mined. Investigation upon the part of the Americans, however, revealed the con trary, and the mines were blown up by the sailors of the American fleet. Dew ey, it is said here, finds the insurgents are growing dangerous. It is added he cannot control them, nor enable the Spaniards to do so. One Japanese war ship is at Manila. NOT INSTRUCTED.
