FREDERICKSBURG, Va., May 10.—The special train with the presidential party for the ceremony of unvelling the Mary Wash- ington monument, Including President Cleve- land, Secretarfes Gresham, Carlisle mont, Bissell and Morton and Private Thurber, Mrs. ham, Mrs. Carlisle and other ladies; Mrs. Waite, widow of the late , who Is president of the n Memorial slation Chief Justice Fuller and the Daughters of the Revolutio nd the National Marine band, was welcomed to this city by an im- Chief Justice W Mary Washing mense crowd. A presidential salute boomed forth from the guns of the Rich- mond and a scarlet-coated band playe “Hail Columbia.” The Richmond Light In fantry, in dazzling uniforms of blue and sil- ver, kept back the crowds with their bayo- nets. Aligned various o ations, them the confederate veterans flags fluttering over them The procession was cheered by thousands of countrymen it wended its way through the little town from the station to the green noll, topped with wooden stands, hidden in long the adjoining streets were ous among with Dbattle consp! patriotic bunting, where the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution and di tinguighed guests were assembled. One f ture of the procession was the ladies on who led the way. Then came the nd marshal, Adjutant General Charles Ander- son of Richmond, and his staff, followed by Willlam J. Crawford, the architect of the monument, Then followed President Cle land, Vice President Steven nd members of the cabinet in carriages, followed by the governor and staff and military organiza- tions and secret societies, conspicuous among them being the members of the Fredericks- burg and Alexandria lodges of Masons, in which Washington had taken his degrees. The program for the dedicatory s included addresses of welcome by P. Rowe and Governor Charle Masonic ceremonies, and address by rence Washington, a descendant of Washington, and an oration by Senator John W. Daniel, the orator of the day. SENATOR DANIEL'S ORATION. Senator Daniel said: “General Washing- ton was the noblest figure that ever stood in the forefront of a nation’s life. We are gathered today around his mother's grave. ““‘All that I am,’ said he, ‘I owe to my mother." “All that we are as a nation we owe to him. “His debt s ours. It is many times multiplied. It Is ever growing as the ever- growing republic illustrates in its virtue and in its faults alike the merit of his ex- ample and the wisdom of his tenchings. “Beholding the monument we rejoice that the debt is acknowledged and realize that no limitation of time can bar rendition of justice to a noble fame. Our gratitude goes forth to our country women who have 5o worthily achieved this work. Men at- tempted it and left it half accomplished. The state and the federal governments alike contemplated, discussed and then postponed it. Our noble women undertook it, and it is done. We thank you, madam, you Mrs, President and your companions of the Mar: Washington assoclation. Your suc i your reward and you will be hence blended in our generation with her whose name s carved on this sacred stone. It was fitting, indeed, that your pious hands should rear the first monument on earth erected by women to a woman; it is fitting, too, that it should bear the name of Mary the mother of Washington. “There are 10,000 Mary W among the mothers of the revolu honoring her we honor the mothe of heroic days and heroic men. It was in his_character, all sufficient in every emer- gency, that was displayed the overtower- ing greatness of George Washington, aud it 1s not doubted that this character was toned down and shaped by his mother's head. The pringiples which he applied to a nation were those simple and elementary truths which she first imprinted upon his mind in the digcipline of home." Senator Daniel reviewed eloquently the facts of history concerning the mother of Washington and discussed the spirit of the times in which George Washington was reared. OBELISK OF WHITE MARBLE. The monument is a beautiful obelisk of plain whige marble, fifty feet high and eleven feet square at the base, bearing an inscrip- tion in embossed letters, simpl ‘Mary, the Mother of Washington.” It was executed in Buffalo, N. Y., and was set in position on December 23, last. The whole fabric cost $11,000, raised entirely by the ladies of the National Mary Washington Memorial associ- ation, and the monument is in itself cred- jtable alike to the distinguished woman whom it commemorates and to the patriotic American women who have honored them- selves by thus honoring her. The association was formed only three years ago, with Mrs Amelia C. Waite, widow of the late chief Justice, at its head, and Mrs. Margaret Hetzel of Clifton Statlon, Va., as secretary; and it may be a subject of gratification with its members, and, indeed, with all Ameri- cans that the heroine mother of our first president, should at length, 104 years after her death, have a suitable token of respect raised above her unheeded grave, since the lack of such a fitting memorial has until now been a standing reproach to the whole nation. Projects were agitated soon after Mrs. Washington's death to mark her burial place by a stone to be paid for by the gov ernment, but in the confusion attendant upon ation of the new nation they were v forgotten, revived and forgotten \ingtons and tion elsewhere respecting Mary Ball, wife of Augustine Washington and smother of George Washington, everybody in Freder- feksburg knows all about her, and glories in her history.

Our appre- clation of the warmth of your reception is not diminished by the thought that in the light of the highest meaning belonging to this occasion there are no guests here. We have assembled on equal terms to worship at a sacred national shrine. Nothing can be more important to those who have as- sumed the responsibility of self-government than the cultivation and stimulation among themselves of sentiments which ennoble and pvate and streng! n humanity, As a clear and wholesome stream must have its flow from a pure fountain head, so must a clean and beneficent popular government have its source in pure and morally healthy men. This purity and thig moral health are in nothing better exemplified than in a love and reverence for motherhood. The man who #ald he cared not who made a people's Taws it he could write their songs might have said with more truth that he could gauge the rength and vigor of a people and their fit- ness for self-government if he knew the depth and steadfastness of their love for thelr mothers, “I believe that he who thinks it brave and manly to outgrow his care and devotion for Nis mother is, more than he who has no music in himself, fit for treason, stratsgems and spoils and should not be trusted. Let us recall today slusive proof of the close relation b American greatness and a lasting love and reverence for our mothers the proud declaration of George ‘ashington, ‘All 1 am 1 owe to my mother,” and let us not forget that when his glory was greatest and when the plaudits of his countrymen were loudest he valued more than these the blessing and approval of his aged mother. “While these excrcises cannot fail to in- spire us anew with reverence for American motherhood, we will remember that we are here to do honor to the woman who gave to our nation its greatest and best citizen and that we have the privilege of participating in (he dedication of a_monument erected by the women of our land in loving and endur- ing testimony to the virtues of the mother of Washington. Let us be proud today that the nobility of this woman exacted from a distinguished foreigner the adm'ss ‘If such are the matrons of America, may well boast of fllustrious sons,’ and that Lafayette, who had fought with ler son for American independence, declared after he had received her blessing, ‘I have seen the only Roman matron living at this da temembering these things, let us leave this place with our love of country strength- ened, with a higher estimate of the value of citizenship and with a prayer to God that our people may hold fast fo the sentiment that grows out of a love and reverence for American motherhood.” At 3 o'clock a banquet was tendered the distinguished gue Vice President Steven- son was the principal speaker and George Alfred Townsend, ““Gath,” read a poem. gt S Don't Delay, It is your duty to yours ween 1t to get rid of the foul accumulation in your blood this spring.

NEW YORK, May 10.—In pursuance of a notice to Mr. T. J. Morrison, a member of the New York bar, that the house committee on Pacific railroads would hear a presenta- tion of the views he represents regarding the Union Pacific railroad, that gentleman has sent to the committee a lengthy com- munication embodying his views en- closing the draft for an act entitled: “A bill to provide for the payment of the United States 6 per cent bonds issued in ald of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific railroads with the proceeds of the govern- mortgages placed on the raflroads for purpose. and ment that He says the relations between the United States and the Union Pacific railroad are treated in the bill from a purely business standpoint, His proposition seems to be a reply to the plans of the attorney general and’ the reorganization committee, and. ap- pear to be the first suggestion in favor of sustaining the full claim of the government, it being understood t Mr. Morrison's clients are willing to purchase the govern- ment mortg He says the bill propo the government shall realize from its property rights in the railroad the funds necessary for the payment of the United States 6 per cent subsidy bonds, with inter- est, to accomplish which it authorizes the secretary of the treasury to assign the gov- ernment mortgages for cash. The bill, in order to facilitate the acquiring of the gov- ernment mortgages by the bond and stock- holders of the Union Pacific Railway com- pany, who will naturally desire to acquire them and avold the foreclosure features of the bill, enables the company to issue its ccured by an assignment of the mortgages to the trustees, the bond and stockholders to privilege of subscribing to bonds, the total amount recei the total amount of the net the company, being the bonds to be government company's first the comp: ble being bility of lia- principal and interest of the aid bonds, less the sinking fund.

In addition they could give themselves a new general mortgage on ther “system” of branch lines, and other property which they now offer to the government; or if they did not choose to take up the first mortgages with their own subscriptions they could re- new them at 5 per cent, or as a prior lien with a long-time bond, the government would at once accept its claim pajd over and thus sever all connections with the com- pany. The company would thereafter enjoy full latitude in financlering, as in its gen- eral corporate affairs. The transfer of the zovernment mortgage upon full payment is the primary purpose of the bill. In aid thercof aud in addition thercto it provides for a forcclosure proceedings, in the interest of any one who may become the owner of the government liens. In case the bond and stockholders of the Union Pacific Raitway company do mot avail themselves of the favorable terms provided for redemption in this bill, and the government thereupon fore- closes, the Importance of the judicial fa- cilities herein provided is much accentuated. Haven't Made a Settlement Yet. CHICAGO, May 10.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—Absence from the city of Pas- senger Traflic Manager White of the Atchi- son prevented action by Western Passenger officials on their proposed plan for settlement of the immigration trouble with the Union Pacific. The assent of the Atchison is necessary, and an adjournment was taken until this morning, when it is thought word will be received from Mr. White. He and President Reinhart are in conference with President Huntington of the Southern Pacific regarding their passenger Qifferences. It is very probable the Atchi- son wants the assurance of the Southern Pacific that it will join a transcontinental wger assoclation before it will consent he plan of settlement with the Union Pacific. No final settlement can be reached unless all western lines are ‘in an associa- tion. El I'rocession. The Elkhorn has joined the procession of cut rate roads and announces that it will put in effect May 12 its new tarift conform- ing with the tariffs made by other roads. But the Elkhorn goes further than either the Union Pacific, Burlington or Rock Island by announcing that rates to intermediate points will be effected in proportion as through rates. Assistant General Freight Agent Merchant stated to a Bee man this morning that the Elkhorn was a believer in reciprocity, and if low rates are made the interior points had as much claim on the road as terminal points. ‘“They have wanted low rates, seemingly,” sald Mr. Merchant; now we propose to give it to them.
