United States Confederate | Veterans, New Orleans, La., | Dec. 7, 1895. | The progress made by the able and | distinguished committee appointed | in general orders Nos. 145 and 146 | from these headquarters to examine Vato and report upon the plans sub | mitted by the great philanthropist | and benefactor, Charles Broadway | Rouss, for the establishment of a} grand memorial hall, where confed- | erate relics and mementoes are to be disposed for all time, and which | is to become “Battle Abbey” of the south, must be very gratitying to( the old veterans and to all those who love the traditions of the south and who cherish the memories of the courage and heroism of their sons and the unparalleled devotion of their noble and self-sacrificing women. This splendid committee bas now successfully launched the grand en. It is believed tha‘ ‘syne half of the amount require? will be raised through the subscription of the mcra than 50,000 embers of the U. C. V. Association, and which will enti- tle them to certificate showing their eontriLution, thus giving each con- tributor an interest in this glorious enterprise which is so near and s0 dear to the heart of every veteran— and it is considered to be sure and beyond peradventure that the other half or balance, whatever may be re quired, will be raised by the noble women of the south The committee suggests that the} most feasible manner of reaching the desired object is to set apart a/ “Memorial Festival Day,” aud they sk that the general commanding | will designate the date, and I issue \ a general order. The general commanding, there- fore, in compliance with the request | ef the committee designates, Friday May 1, 1895, as the most suitable fora ‘Memorial Festival Day,” to be set apart for the use of the wo} men of the south in raising funds for the great memorial hall All the details and exercises of this “Memorial Festival Day,” are to | be planned, conducted and carried | out entirely under the orders, con | trol, ideas and management of the women of the south in their respec- | tive localities. For in whose hands could this sa- | cred trust more properly be placed, and with more certainty of success, | | than into those of the gentle women terprise, and through their action and that of the sub committees, have formulated a mode of proced ure which, if energetically carried out, cannot fail of success. It will be remembered that the generous and large-hearted donor, Mr. Charles Broadway Rouss, who aJone conceived the project for the perpetuation of the history and glory of his countrymen, presented a plan for its consummation to the veterans at the Houston reunion, at the same time subscribing $100,000 as his in- dividual subscription to assist in carrying out his grand views and ideas. conditioned upon the veterans raising a like amount To raise this $100,000 additional, }0f the south, who have never yet| | faltered or failed in performance of | /any duty, either in war or in peace, | ‘imposed upon them for the south-| ern cause. j Their spirit and determination an- | imated the men ef the south at the/ | Scene of the first conflict; they were | | the most constant and remitting pat-| riots and workers duriog their cours try’s travail, and the last to be abare don the sacred cause after southern | hopes vanishe™ behind the clouds! at Appomattox. | The true history of their deed and | triumphs has not yet been told. i No historian has yet written the! ; Story, nor muse sung the song, nor i | depository, to the order of the Unit minstrel strung the lyre, to fitly cel- | quests | ebrate their praise. tbat every newapaper | throughout the south and elsewhere i The straits to which they were re- lfavorable to this grand historic en- | duced for food and clothing, the terprise will publish this |self-abnegation and hardships en-}with editorial dured by them during those dark | widest publicly. jand gloomy days of war finds no} ' parallel in history; their patriotism | order, and comment give it By order of J B.

Here in this temple of fame, which is to be dedicated to all the people of the coming centuries, in a niche carved out by the story of their wondrous deeds and glory, a monu- ment will also arise, commensurative of the courage and fame of the “he roines ot the south” a name which will ever be proudly linked in his tory with those of,““Roman Matron” and “Sparian Mother.” For did net evary southern mother, like the “Ro- exclaim: ‘These are offspring bravely and loyally to bat- tle for their country, and with the “Spartan Mother's” injunction: “Re- turn your shield, or on it.” It is to the survivors of these illus- trious women and to their deacend- ants to whom tae general command- ing, therefore, confidentally intrusts this important mission of assisting in this holy undertaking. The general commanding appeals to and urges those heroic women, survivors of a heroic age, and all the daughters of the south who take pride in the history of such worthy and glorious ancestors, to immedi- ately, upon the receipt of this order, organize societies and elect presi- dents, secretaries, treasurers and other officere, in every city, town and hamlet and neighborhood in the south, and to notify Col. R. C Wood, general manager of the con- federate memorial association, No- 44 Perdido street, New Orleans, La. so that he can at once supply in- structions, and that they will com mence without delay the collection of funds for the erection of this de pository of the records of the valor of svuthern manhood and the hero- ism of southern womanhood, and, continue their efforts systematically, making the ‘“‘memorial festival day,” May 1, 1896. the culmination of their efforts.

I have seen enough of war to dread its consequences and I believe that Great sritain will soon realize that she has too much at stake to invite a hostile encounter with this country, ut while he held this view he be- lieved the president to be right in tak- ing the position that the United States asthe strongest nation on this hemi- sphere should not permit weaker na- tions on this side of the Atlantic to be trampled upon by European powers. Nor did he believe that the English people would support their officials in refusing to submit the question to arbitration. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, fol- lowed in a vigorous speech. He said that he was not in haste, but he thought the time for the committee to report should be limited, and gave no- tice of an amendment providing that the committee should report by April 1. He did not think that the Monroe doctrine could be upheld as a proposi- tion of international law, but he be- lieved that it should be supported as the declaration of independence was supported, because it wasan American doctrine. Mr. Voorhees spoke in favor of im- mediate action. Great Lritain took months to say that she would not arbi- trate. He thought this country should not make any further delay, but ap- point a commission to see what be- longed to Great Britain, and give her that and no more. He did not believe there was any danger of war, but thought the dignity of the United States demanded that congress should act without any further delay. Mr. Chandler sent to the desk and had read a petition dated February 19, 1895, to the president and congress of the United States, signed by several hundred members of the British house of commons, praying that the United States would enter into a treaty for the arbitration of all international Mr. Chandler made no com- Mr. Teller fol- lowed with a speech and said should we go to war we would not be without allies and he sketched the conflicting interests with European powers.
