2 THE REUNION AT FREDERICKSBURG Monument to the Army of the Potomac. THE CORNER STONE LAID The President and Noted Federal and Confederate Leaders Present. MONUMENT GIFT OF GEN BUTTERFIELD Ora'ions by General Sickles and Mr. Filzhugh. Committal of Monument to Secretary ts War by Colonel Hill. WLe ler Speaks at the Reunion. (By the Associated Press.) Fredericksburg, Va., May 25. —On the very ground over which the Old Fifth Corps charged at Fredericksburg. Presi dent McKhiley, his Cabinet and General Miles today witnessed the laying of the corner stone in a shaft which will perpet uate in bronze and granite the heroism of the army of the Potomac. Tt was an impressive ceremony and rendered the more so by the fact that among the hundreds who witnessed the event were noted leaders of both the Federal and the Confederate forces. The monument was the personal gift of General Daniel Butterfield, to the National Memorial Association. 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 with due Ma sonic 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 Fredericksburg was primarily in honor of the thirty-first annual re-union of the Army of the Po tomac. The town was in gala dress and turned cut en masse to receive its dis tinguished visitors. The President and his Cabinet were welcomed at the court house, which was decorated with the national colors and-the various corps flags of the Army of the Potomac. Welcom ing speeches wore made by prominent veterans from both sides of the Civil War and afterward the President held an informal reception at the home of St. George R. Fitzhugh, where he was wel comed by hundreds of the town folk, both white and colored. The special train, which carried all the members of the Cabinet except Secretary Wilson, arrived at 11:10. There also were in the party General Nelson A. Miles, his chief aid. Colonel Milcher; Generals Joseph Wheeler, former Adjutant Gener al Haggles, who was Colonel of the Pres ident’s old regiment during the war and the Marine Band. The train was met at Quantico by a reception committee from Fredericks burg, consisting of Hon. Horace F. Cris man, Major T. P. Morris and Postmaster John M. Griffin, who accompanied the Presidential party to Fredericksburg, where they were turned over to the hos pitalities of the local committe. The procession formed at the depot and headed by the Marine band moved at once to the court house, where the pub lic exercises were held and an official welcome, delivered by St. George R. Fitzhugh. and the response was made by General Martin T. E. McMahon. The oration of the day was th-en delivered by General Daniel E. Sickles. Mr. Fitzhugh's oration was a striking piece of oratorical work. He paid the highest tribute to the army of the Poto mac and to their Confederate opponents, saying that to erase the names of tho Spottsylvania battlefields of the history of the American army would be to rob it of half its glory. The same blood shed on the Fredericksburg fields, he said, still flowed in the veins of the American soldiers. Wherever the American arms might he 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 record would be one that would take no lustre from the glory won by the Wild With Eczema Fire Could Not Have Been More Painful. “ After spending two years in tak ing all kinds of medicines that were suggested for eczema, but without avail, my mother was induced to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The result was wonderfully gratifying. Her limbs had been terribly lacerated by the dis ease, and there were times when fire coqld not have been more painful. She was, in fact, almost wild. Two bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla com pletely cured her, and not a trace of eczema was left.” E. W. Deckek, Gardiner, N. Y. Eat Weil, Sleep Well. “ Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been a great blessing to me. I was weak, irritable, tired and nervous; bad no appetite and was always sad and des pondent. One day 1 got hold of a little book about Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I looked it over and resolved to try a bottle. I was better before it was gone, so 1 kept on until I had taken five bottles. I can now sleep well, feel cheerful and can do all my work, including plain sewing, and I can walk two or three miles a day. lam 55 years old and now feel that life is worth living.” Mrs. Emma Smith, 08 E. Mitchell St., Oswego, N. Y. Critical Period of Life. ** I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla during the critical period of my life, and now, at the age of 60 years, 1 am strong and healthy. It is a great medicine for the blood. 1 find Hood’s to be the best.” Mrs. 11. Tomboy, 22 Lansing Street, Auburn, N. Y. You can buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla of any druggist. Be sure to ask for Hood’s and do not accept any substitute. Slnrs and Stripes on the bloody bat tlefields of Virginia. President McKinley and his Cabinet officers applauded this sentiment heartily, and the speaker was lustily cheered by the audience which packed the’ house. The exercises at the court house wore followed by a luncheon served in the opera house to the members of the so ciety, the ladies and invited guests. After the reception at the Fitzhugh residence the Presidential party drove to the National cemetery where the foun dation of the Fifth Corps monument had been laid. On a grassy slope overlooking the valley of the Rappahannock, the Stars and Stripes flew from a rustic flag pole. Opposite the President and General Butterfield were the members of the Ma sonic lodge under whose auspices the stone was to ho laid, Fredericksburg lodge, No. 4. of which George Washing ion was a member. The ceremonies were opened by the full Marine band with “Nearer my God to Thee,” in which all the audience joined. The corner-stone was anointed in due Masonic order and lowered into place, after which Colonel Hill in a brief speech committed the monument to the care of the National Government. Secretary Root in accepting made a touching reference to the heroism and sacrifice of both the Federals and Con federates who contested the field of Fredericksburg. At the close of the ceremonies the Presidential party returned to Washing ton, but the reunion exercises of the So ciety of the Potomac were continued at night in the opera house where addresses were made by a number of the veterans, including General Joe Wheeler.

Washington, May 25. —The liscnss'or of the Spooner Philippine Bill was con tinued in the Senate today by Mr. Mor gan, of Alabama. On the general emo tion of the ownership and governmen* by the United States of the i’uihppin ‘ Islands lie was in accord with Senators Spooner and Lodge, but lie regarded the pending bill ns unwise and dangerous legislation because of the great power it placed in the hands of ’he President. He was satisfied, however. *ha* fie measure would not he passed by this Congress and declared that it was being used as a foil to thrust aside the Nicaragua Canal Bill. Much of his speech was devoted to the Canal Bill, and to what ti» denounced as the political efforts that were 'ring used to prevent its enactment at this session. A conference on the Porto Rico Appropria tion Bill was agreed to. The session closed with eulogies upon the late Repre sentative Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to punish crimes against the United States not «om mitted within a State, with a view to the present emergency. The Philippine Bill was then taken up and Mr. Morgan addressed himself to it. Mr. Morgan declared that no promises had ever been made by cur military ml naval commanders to recognize the Tnga lo government, which, ho further said, did not exist when Dewey took Manila. , 1-Ie denounced Aguinaldo as a politic:.! adventurer and traitor. Mr. Morgan eulogized the Peris treaty He attacked the Spooner Bill, because, | he maintained, it concentrated all ibe power over the Philippines hi the Presi dent of the United States, and gave too much power to any Pres Tent, and to a dishonest President this power would be very dangerous. It was legalizing abso luteism and took away from the Senate the power to confirm the appointments ot' the President. “I do not know,” said Mr. Morga 1. 1 “Whether the President is demanding from Congress this impart n power, his conduct thus far of our island possessions does not justify the suspicion that he d°- ! sires the vast: powers conferred upon him by this bill merely for his own ng- j grandizement or for any imneri.il pur- I poses. This is an unhallowed power and ought not to be conferred upon the ! President. Fraud has already touched his administration in Cuba, but no one is more sorrowful nor indignant over it than he. In view of our occupation of the Philippines, Mr. Morgan adverted to the Nicaragua (’anal, arguing for that project. I He referred to what he hotly called the "assumption, arrogance and brazen faced audacity” of various Panama Canal Com- j panies, which were making representa tions to this Government. “It is an outrage on all public de cency.” he urged; ”an open violation of the criminal laws of the United States.” | With earnestness and vigor Mr. Morgan arraigned the new Panama Canal Com pany for having been instrumental in pre- J venting the passage of the Nicaragua Canal Bill at the present session. I “Never,” he declared, “has the United States Government and the United States j Congress been badgered and cuffed about as we have been by this new Panama j Canal Company: and the quiet submis- i sion and ease with which we take it is only accountable to the nearness of a 1 Presidential election and we are afraid to tackle any corporation that has or j professes to have, some great power.” 1 He could not believe the President \tas in league with the politicians who were antagonizing the Canal Bill. I “For,” he inquired, vehemently, “Is it to be said here that the President is a party to this ambidextrous and cross eyed political rascality.” He did not believe, either, that the President was so afraid of British In fluences that he had an idea in his mind of abandoning the canal project. “The President, who is a candidate for re-election,” said he, “is in the hands of his friends and his friends are the ene mies of the Nicaragua Canal.” Mr. Allison then called up the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill. The bill carried as reported to the Senate $65,812,930. Sixty-five of the 137 pages of the bill were .disposed of. Some discussing was precipitated over a committee amend ment providing that the Secretary of the Treasury should prescribe rules and regu lations for the enforcement of the con tract labor law and the Chinese exclusion act. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) offered an amend ment providing that the Commissioner General of Immigration should prepare the rules and regulations and they should be enforced after the Secretary of the Treasury had approved them. Mr. Allen (Neb.) opposed he amend ment of the committee, maintaining that it was a practical nullification of (he Chinese exclusion act and tlie contract labor law. Without action upon the amendment the bill was laid aside until tomorrow. At 5 o'clock the Senate adjourned. ALASKAN BILL STILL BEFOBE HOUSE. The Session From Noon to Adjournment De voted to Private Pension Bills (By the Associated Press.)

Welker, were killed and a number of ethers sehiously injured Ms a result of an acident to a work train early today on the Akron and Cuyhoga Falls Rapid Transit (electric) suburban line.

KUCHIN FOR CONGRESS (Continued from First Page.) \Ye. the people who made North Caro lina and are building’ up. bet* - the county to let us settle' it in peace. "That is the w ist* course. W e desire no harm to ihe colored man. He’ll have his rights in the field and in the courts of justice everywhere, lint, luy countrymen, the right to rule tin* white man is not one of his rights, and by the eternal he shall not exercise it." Mr. Kitehin concluded his speech with splendid effect by a quotation from a declaration of Senator \anee, that “tne white man of the South will never again submit to negro domination, and what iff* worse still the domination of his white allies. For the position of elector two names were put before the conven tion; T. C. Wooten, of Lenoir, and John H. Kerr, of Warren. Mr. Woot en was elected by a vote of 17.> to 116. The following members of the ex ecutive. committee for the district were then chosen: Bertie. A. S. Ilos coe; Edgecombe, 11. A. (iilliam: Greene, Geo. W. Sugg: Halifax. K* L. Travis: Lenoir. J. W.

He is a son of ( apt. W. If. Kitehin. and a brother of lion. W. W. Kitehin. the present Congressman from the Fifth district. Mr. Kitehin was educated at Wake Forest College, from which he grad uated in 1888. Soon after his grad uation he married Miss Katie Mills, daughter of Prof. L. R. Mills, of Wake Forest, and began the practice of law with his father at Scotland Neck. He lias x never held a public office, though he has always taken great interest in politics and has made some notable campaign speeches. Asked this morning as to his plans for the campaign, he said: "1 shall not begin mv campaign for election to Congress until after the \ugiist election. Until then 1 shall have but one thought in any can vass I shall make the Amendment. Os course I shall continue my can vass for that, going wherever the State committee may see tit to send me. “After the amendment is adopted 1 shall begin my canvass of my own district.” The opinion is freely expressed on all sides that the. convention made no mistake when it nominated Mr. Kitehin. He is very popular, brilliant and magnetic, and ids campaign of the district will arouse such enthus iasm as will tell greatly for Democ racy in the November election. FRIII) L. MERRITT.
