I think it eminently appropriate that we should stand for a little time before going to the graves of our fallen comrades in this edifice, where the foundations of independence were laid and put into development to make this great nation today. In my recent extensive trip through the country I was able to see the effects of planting these seeds of freedom in the flouishing plants that have grown. “We are here in a community that was insti- tuted on principles of peace and good will among men. But you gave a conspicuous illustration of the facts that the fruits of peace need fo be protected. “You did not all depart from the great les- sons taught when you united with the comrades from all the other states to hold up the banner of the Union and to maintain peace and to perpetuate it at all times. You went out to ‘maintain peace, and you have estab- lished in the affections of all of us the flag of our faith and the question of submission to the Constitution and law in all states has been settled to the contentment of all. “I appreciate most highly this welcome, and take part in these exercises with a sonse of their fitness and a sense of the groatness of the event which they commemorate. f “Lhave never been able to think that this day is one for mourning, but think that in- stead of the flag being at half mast it should cd oes, 6 Partoy be at the peak.

An elaborate program was carried out, and ex-Gov. Foraker delivered san eloquent oration. Among those who oceupied positions of honor around the monument were the surviving descendante of the eight raiders, some of whom live in Ohio, others in Kentucky and others in Kansas, Ar- kansas, California, Nebraska, Iowa and Okla- homa.’ Quite ond, twenty-first and @hirty-third Ohio regi- ments of infantry, tov which the raiders be- longed, were among the participants. Gov. Foraker, in the course of his address, Why is it we aro here? What purposes re seeking to promote? Why should the foneral assembly of a great stato turn aside rom its ordinary cares and duties to take sach action as has been mentioned? Why should a justice of the Supreme Court and two distin- guished and honored citizens who are his asa0- ciates on the commission labor as they have with zealous pride to discharge the duties that have been intrusted to them? ‘The answer is plain and simple. In the first place there is no bitterness, vain glory or unworthy spirit of any kind involved. It is but stating @ exact truth to repeat as fairly applicable to the whole of that great army who wore the blue the dying words of Wilson, that he ‘had no hard feelings toward the south or her peopie;” that he ‘loved the Union and the flag, and was fighting to uphold them, and not to do unnec- ary injury to any one.! “he sentiments of gratitude to the men who saved the Union grow with the vears. But upon these particular men restsa stigma. Ohio is here today to remove that stigma. She pro- claims to future gencrations that these were honorable men and soldiers, that their punii ment was unmerited and that thelr names shall shine on the roll of honor among the brigh: of all that illumine the pagos of our history. {Cheers.} : The monument dedicated today was erected by the state of Ohio to the memory of Jumes Andrews and his seven colleagues, known to history as the “Andrews’ Raiders,” and who on April 1, 1862, when Buell was planning his ad- vance from Nashville, seized the train at At d north with it to this city, burning bridges and destroying tracks as the; went, for the purpose of breaking up railroad travel and transportatioa between Atlanta and Chattanoogaand who were subsequently hanged for their actlon. DE, BRIGGS OT SURPRISED. He Says the General Assembly's Action is Against Union Seminary, New York, May 30.—When the vote of the general assembly was brought to Prof. Briggs Just night he received it with no manifestation “The result is one that I ex- e said. “Tam not at all surpriscd even by the largeness of the adverse vote. From the stand that the directors of the semi- nary have taken it must surely be seen that the vote is not a personal one, but against the seminary itself.’ Prof. Briggs sailed for England this morning with his daughter. He will remain at Oxfor all summer, spending large part of his time in biblical studies. Dr. Beggs" health has im- proved greatly in the last day or two and ¢ is looking forward to the sea trip with great pleasure. A clerical friend of Dr. Briggs says yesterday's vote does not indi- cate the preys of the church at large, or at least cannot be known to do so. ‘The delegates were elected on the revision issue and before the Briggs issuc came up. Next year's assem- bly will, of course, be composed of delegates elected more or less on the Briggs ixsue, and they will represent the feeling of the 1 churches. a 3 THE BERING SEA BILL. Provisions of the Measure Introduced in Parliament, Loxpox, May 80.—The Bering sea bill intro- duced into the house of commons last evening on behalf of the government by Mr. W. H.

An; rly commissioned officer of her majenty's naval forces is by the bill clothed with full power to stop and examine any British Yensel found in Bering sea during the period of interdiction.

Sir John Alexander Macdonald was bi in Glasgow, Scotland, Janus father, Hugh Maca Sutherlandshire to Kingston in 1820. ‘The son entered public life in 1844 as the representative of the city of Kingston in the house of assembly, fand con- tinued to sit for this constituency until the union of 1867, when he was elected to the house of commous ‘by the same electorate until 1878, whon he was defeated. He was re-elected in 1887 by both Carleton and Kingston. He took ‘an active part in bringing about the Canadian confederation, andin 1! 7 he was chairman of the London colonial conference when the British North America act was passed by the imperial parliament. mn July 1, 1867, the new constitution came into force in Canada and Sir John Macdonald was sworn as privy councillor and appointed minister of justice and attorney general. In Pers Febpo of his services he was created a knight commander of the bath (civil) by the queen, and in 1884 he received the grand cross of the same order. He remained prime minister until 1873, when his government resigned on the Canadian Pacific charges. Alexander Mac- kenzie accepted the office, and for nearly five der of the opposition. tember, 1878, the liberal party wae de ted at the polls on the cry of protection to native industries, and Sir John again be- came premier and has remained at the head of affairs in Canada ever since. He achieved a decided victory at the polls at the recent election on the issue of restricted commercial relations with the United States as against the plan of unrestricted reciprocity ad- vocated by the liberals. It is currontly be- lieved that the conservative victory was due absolutely to bis astute and experiénced ma- neuvering. His death, therefore, might mean = very serious change in the political balance of power in the dominion. Sir John Macdonald executed several deli- cate diplomatic missions. He was one of the British joint the Alabama claims question with the United States. For this service he was called to the privy council of Great Britain, an honor sel- om conferred ona colonial statesman. His Wife, Susan Agnes, whom he married in 1867, is a daughter of Thomas J.

After Tm Stan's report closed Dr. Worcester of Chicago offered a substitute to the amend- ment of Mr. Logan and to the entire report of the committee of Dr. Patton, asking that a committee pf eight ministers and seven elders be appointed to confer with the directors of the seminary; that the directors be especially requested to reconsider this action in traue- ferring Dr. Briggs; that they be requested that Dr. Briggs should not be allowed to perform the duties belonging to said chair for the ensu- ing year. DR. PATTON'S REPORT ADOPTED. After some confusion Dr. Carlisle got the floor and maintained that the question of the relations between the assembly and Union Theological Seminary was not a proper subject of conference. “The compact fixes that and we have no authority to treat with them as to anything outside that compact, Shall we sur- render an authority we have to assume—one we have not? ‘The compact is the only means We buve of controlling the instruction.” = Dr. Lewis deprecated too harsh action, lest it bea means of giving greater currency to error by making Dr. Briggs a martyr. Elder Junkin of Philadelphia made a very spirited speech, insisting that strict aduerence to the compact was the only common sense as well asequity. He said: “We areasked not to cut off Dr. head; it is not on till we b; approval put it on. He ia not a profesor till we make him one. The plan to put that head onand then ask New York presbytery and Union Seminary to dissect it and by and by tell what it contains is a boomerang.

No in- formation can be obtained at the de- partment as to what instructions have been sent her, but the opinion is that she has received orders to discontinue her ef- forts to capture the Itata, and it is believed that an arrangement for the peaceful surrender of the [tata bas been made and that she will be turned over to this government for trial. The Charleston should finish © today and, if her machinery is in order. proceed on her voyage, but to what point cannot be learned here. ‘Some think she will proceed to Iquique, while others express the opinion that return to San Francisco and be held in readi- ness for duty in Bering sea should her services be required there.
