the history of the world. - Wet'will not
hesitate a moment to give thfe small
amount to the honor of our dead soldiers.
It was not solely for the honor of the
dead alone, but so that our youth could
see in after-generation, . what fliey did
and emulate their examples of valor.
We will not forget thorn to-dAy. We
will not forget them to-morrotw or as
long as the English tongue is spten.
Mr. Watson, of Forsyth, spokeTnext in
iavor ottne proposition. Lie said that if
they had erected a monument tojthe he
roes of the battle of Guilford court house
the historian of. to-day would not be so
much troubled to prove to the wojrld their
bravery. He spoke of the bravery of the
Southern soldiers; how they fought to re
pel the invader. He did not stop to ask
whether it were eight or ten thousand dol-
ars. 1 hey were worthy of all hoAor. The
ladies of the ' association' wouldf supple
ment this amount and raise a monument
worthy of the heroic dead. I -
Mr. Merritt next addressed thfr House,
in favor of the bill. He spoke f of-diow
in other States, at every corner ind city
you will find monuments' perpetuating
the heroic deeds -of ' their patriots and
Eoldiers. xThe ladies asked this small ap
propriation. "Who was hV thattKstaid at
home and tilled the IrttM' farms, who
worked and cheered our eoldiersi o -pro-:
long the war to four long years? The
women of tne South. tie closed in a
fine "tribute to the bravery !bf - our
soldiers. Tv '
Mr. Lovill, moved to amend t by in
serting $5,000 instead of $10,000,
Mr. Gilmer next spoke in advocacy of
the bill. He said, after making a fine1
argument in advocating the measure,
that he hoped that the . amendment
would not be adopted.
Mr. Lovell addressed the House in
opposition to the bill,and favoring the rer
duction of the appropnanon.He tave as a
reason tnat ne wisned to care ;for the
living (alluding to the Soldiers Home).
He hoped his motive would notjsbe mis
construed. He was a soldier and fell on
Cemetery Heights, wounded badly in the
charge. ; j
Mr. Watson, of Forsyth, said 1 appre
ciated the motive of the gentleman from
Watauga (Mr. Lovill), but that we
would care' for both the living! and the
dead. He then proceeded to state what
appropriations would be made for both.
Air. Jvitcmn tnen began to address the
House when . Mr. Watkins, off Anson,
moved to amend the amendment by
striking out $5,000 and inserting! $15,000,
Mr. Kitchin then proceeded iA his re
marks in a most admirable and -.eloOjiient
appeal in favor of the bill. He I said if
the younger members of this Assembly
could have seen and felt what those who
took part in that gigantic strWgle had
seen the nght at Malvern milJ brigade
after brigade going to destruction if
they could have seen that sight, pr in the
serried ranks at Gettysburg where over
400 cannons and 270,000 muskelis stared
them in the face belching forth their
murderous fire and those 40,000 men
with superhuman strength scaling those
heights, they would feel different. "He
alluded to the monuments of bass and
marble in other States. He appealed to
the ladies to go on . with their glorious
work. God and their country was with
them.
Mr. Watkins withdrew his amend
menven the request of Mr. Kite lin, who
said he was opposed simply because the
ladies knowing of the various appropri
ations to be made had not asked jit,
Mr. Spruill next addressed thf House
in favor of the bill. He also favored
taking care of the Soldiers' Horrie.
Mr. Holt next addressed the House in
favof of the bill. He alludea to the
empty niches in the Capitol wfcere the
memory of our distinguished men should
be perpetuated. " "
Mr. Allen said that he thought any
member of the House should be allowed
to examine this bill without being brand
ed as a demagogue. The constitutional
limitations of 66c ought to be considered,
which they could not exceed. He spoke
of the other appropriations, Hej thought
that the monument dugllt to, be terected,
but he thought it ought to "be a free will
offering (ana he for one would contrib
ute to it) and not to be taxing the
people. He closed by paying ai tribute
to Mr. Lovill as a good eoldier. t

that it could be made within th consti

The Confederate Monument bill proved i
the greatest attraction of the Legislative
session. The gallery of the House as !
well as .tlie lobbies ; were packed with
ladiesj whose ciiuiusiasm regarding the
matter was unsurpassed. The pupils of
St. Mary's school and Peace institute
were present. Of course it was a fore
gone conclusion that the bill would, pass.

Industrial school at Greensboro is said to
be rapidly diminishing. Some of the op-
Eonents desired to limit to 200 the num
er ofjstudents. The feature of the at
tack by the private schools upon the
school has been that it came in direct
competition with them.
, ; In the course of discussion of the asy
lums bill it wassaid that supplies ought
not tojbe bought at the place of location,
but sent for elsewhere. In some way an
impression gained ground that supplies
were not to be purchased in the State.
This has stirred up same merchants, who
pay heavy taxes, and who see no reason
why there should be intimations that
they charge fancy prices. The fact is
that bids are made on, all supplies f ur
nishedj and the profits are not worth men
tioning, i . i
The (Railway Commission hag so far
this year had very few cases to dispose
of. Its members have done a great deal
of excellent work in connection with the
Wilmihgton and Weldon railway tax
matter. The success of that movement,
which began over a year ago," is largely
due to the commission.

talked about a great ideal to-day, and
there were many guesses as to what the

A Nomination Rejected.
rW-A SHINGTON, Feb. 23. It appears that
the nomination of John V. T. Findlay,
of Maryland, to be arbitrator for the
United States in tlie matter q the Chil
ian claims was rejected by the Senate
to-dayj when the agent and secretary
were confirmed. The rejection was not
made public, for the reason that, under
the rules of the Senate, it will be in or
der, until two succeeding executive ses
sions have beeh had, for a motion to be
made t reconsider. One such session
was neia yeBteraay,-anu is w posbioie
that such motion may be made at the
next session, Findlay having been ap-.
prised of the condition of anairs, which
is said to be due to the opposition" of the
Maryland Senators, is making Btrenuous
eirorta to have the vote reconsidered.
As this is still possible, an effort to re
verse the former action may be made.

New York, Feb. . 23. In the stock
market Ihe bears "are again aggressive
and active and their operations extended
to the entire active j list, although the
market, especially durfcg the early part
of tlie day, showed considerable nar
rowness and some resistance. The event
of the day was the resignation of Presi
dent Parsons and the directors of the
New England road in sympathy with
his management, and its effect was im
mediately to intensify the weakness pre
vailing in the general list. Th3 final
confirmation of the control of Reading
in the New England,, acted however, as
a sentiment of sustaining poyvefc' in
that stock, and after tlie opening der
cline it was well held within compara
tively narrow limits. The friends of the
Parsons management, however, were
liberal sellers of New England
and that stock! became one of
the weakest on j the list. Read
ing opened with a decline of 1J per
cent., but at the close of the day had re
covered i per cent. ; but New England
closed at its lowest Mgure with a loss of
3f per cent," Lackawanna closed with a
loss of per cent-i and Delaware and

Chicago became an established fact to
day and was one of the most powerful in
fluences in encouraging tne Dears in tneir
drives at the general list. Naturally, the
roads centering in Chicago were most
vulnerable and Burlington, St. Paul and
Rock Island all suffered declines
of over 2 per ! cent. The most
striking feature, however, was the
renewal ot heavy ! selling m sugar,
transactions in -which were attended
with quite as much excitement as those
in Reading and New England, and its
price was steadily depressed until at uo
it showed a los3 of 7$ per cent. The

lowea, which was i enet, iaju 111 uigutr
prices all over the list, Out there was a
marked lack of support in the stock, and
the last price was only per cent, better
than its lowest. Its net loss for the day
reached 1 per cent. Other Industrials

atiyely quiet and moved in sympathy

The Military Acadeiny Approppriation
bill waa then taken up. -The bill was
passed as rapidly as the Diplomatic and

The Legislative. Executive and Judi

up. The bill, as passed by the House,apr

Senate, $21,608,828, an increase of $257,
080. Last year's bill appropriated $21,

items of appropriation of a minor char
acter gave rise tq some discussion And
both were rejected, j -----
During the discussion the Pension Ap
propriation bill wass reported from the
Committee on Appropriations exactly as
it passed the. House and was placed on
the calendar to be called up to-morrow.
On page 112 of the j Legislative bill an
amendment was reached repealing so
much of what is known as the Bowman
act as authorizes the jQommittee of either
House of Congress td refer any claim to
the Court of Claims. J
Senator Hoar made a point of order

The Sundry Civil ( Appropriation bill
with the Senate ameifdments was laid be
fore the House and referred to tlie Com
mittee on Appropriations. ,
Mr. Bland gave a significant sugges
tion that the Ckmniittee on Appropria
tions should report back ; at as early a
day as possible, as hej intended tq have
the benate amendment fully and fairly
discussed in'Oohjmittee of the Whole.
Mr. Outhwaite called up the confer
ence report on the Army Appropriation
hill. While explaining the measure Mr.
Hillary A. Herbert entered the hall and
modestly leaned overja screen in the rear
of the chamber. But) he could not escape
the eyes that wire in search of him and
the House spontaneously broke into
applause and cheers, which lasted sev
eral moments and which evidently came
from the lieart. r i
Mr. Outhwaite, smiling, bowed to Mr.
Herbert and yielded him five minutes of
his time, and so Mr Herbert wa3 com
pelled to come forth from his retirement.
He was deeply niovedj by the cordial re
ception given him and his voice quivered
as he said: "This reception from the men
with whom I have issociated and whom
I have known so long touches my heart
in a manner that I have no words to ex
press. I can only sa$r that I thank you
from the bottom of my heart."
This short speech "was greeted with
long and loud applause, and then Mr.
Herbert held a levee m the rear' of the
hall. . f.
The conference report was agreed to,
Mr. Beele moved that the House go
into Committee of the; Whole for consid
eration of the general appropriation
bills. J.
This motion was antagonized by Mr.
Hatch, who wished consideration of the
Anti-Option bill. 1 ;
Mr." Peele s, motion prevailedyas,

Mr. Hodman moved to reduce the

CLEVELAND'S CABINET.
General Satisfaction at its Composition-Comments
of Polliticians on
the Appointments-Mr. Her-
bert's Numerous Con-
gratulations., ' '
Washln-qton, Feb. 23.4Mr Herbert's
popularity in the House left no reason to
question how it would be received by
Democratic congressmen. The fact is
also that he has been so overwhelmed
by telegrams and letters of congratula
tions from others than his' associates in
congress , that he finds it utterly im
possible to acknowledge j them except
through the? medium of a press dispatch
of thanks. . j
I Mr. Olney's selection was equally as
well received by New England Demo
crate, who said that it was a- fine ap
pointment. Members from the South
and West were disappointed, bujt would
not criticise it, simply saying that the
appomtes . wa3 entirely unknown to
them and might be a good man.
' In speaking of the entire Cabinet, Mr.
Blount, one of the oldest 'members of
Congress, said: "Herbert is well quali
fied for the Navy Department. Smith
will I think, make an able Secretary of
the Interior. Carlisle is the peer of any
man in public life. Doubtless, the other
gentlemen chosen will be successful in
their departments. Cleveland is a man
of rare wisdom His endorsement of the
Cabinet gives assurance that his selec
tions are wise." I j
i Other comments were as follows: '
I Speaker Crisp said: "It i3 a very good
Cabinet, and a stisfactory one, I guess. I
am very glad that Herbert was taken
for the navy portfolio."
r, Mr. Turner, of Georgia, said: "It is a
very good cabinet." . j
j Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania said:
"It is a strong Cabinet. I am very much
delighted with Herbert's ! appointment.
The Cabinet has this peculiarity and this
satisfaction. It is the first which has
ever been announced before March 4th.
I liked that. It is a personal Cabinet
and. is chosen for the fidelity of its mem
bers. That is a point about it which is
not always apparent in Cabinets."
j To these comments ex-Speaker Reed,
of Maine, added this characteristic cap
sheaf: "I think that Cleveland changed
his mind about appointing me to a place
in the Cabinet because of j some speech
which Mr. Hill or some other Democrat
made about me. I am disappointed."
i The selection of Herbert to be Secretary
of the Navy in Cleveland's Cabinet, is the
cause of much satisfaction among bureau
chiefs and" other oncers of the service on
duty at tli- Navy,Department. Herbert's
long service as. chairman and as member
of the House Committee on Naval affairs
has given him .personal l" acquaintance
with a great number of officers, and the
sentiment is universal amoug them that
