4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1898. PRESIDENT MCcKINLEY AT ARLINGTON Joins in the the Bivouac of the Dead. Honors Paid D at the National and Other Cemeteries. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, May 30. In the center field of “The Bivouac of the Dead,” the great amphithedter of the National Cemetery at Arlington, President McKinley and three of his Cabinet to-day joined 6000 other citi- | zens in doing honor to the patriotic | dead. The ceremonies were held simul- taneously in different parts of the cem- | etery, but the main ceremonies were in the amphitheater close to the old Lee | mansion. There some 2500 people gath- | ered, while on the platform was a dis- | tinguished company headed by Presi- | dent McKinley, Vice-President Hobart, | Secretary of War Alger, Secretary of | the Treasury Gage, Secretary of Agri- | culture Wilson and United States Sena- tor Thurston, the orator of Just back of them sat Commi Pensions Evans and other officials, Chinese Minister and the Korean Min- ister and representations from other le- gations. Prior to the ceremonies there was a procession of members of the Grand Army, the Sons of Veterans, the ‘Woman’s Relief Corp, ex-soldiers and sailors and the general public headed by the Fourth Artillery band, halting | for a brief service at the “Tomb of the | Unknown,” the band meanwhile play- | ing a dirge, and then marching through | the grounds, proceeding to the work of | decorating the graves. | The President and party were very | prompt In arriving, and soon after they | reached the platform the assembly was | called to order by Commander Arthur | Hendricks of the Department of the | Potomac, G. A. R. The exercises em- braced a number of addresses, poens, singing by a quartet and the customary ‘ reading of orders. The feature of the ceremonies, however, was the address of Senator Thurston of Nebraska, who | was introduced as one always ready to lend his aid to the cause of liberty and patriotism. His oration was listened to | most attentively by the audience und | prolonged applause greeted his - | ence to the absence of sectioaalism | and to the presence of Admiral |_\u v in the harbor of Manila. Senator Thurs- ton said in conclusion: War Is a terrible thing, to be shunned | voided whenever and as far as pos- sible. But I have no sympathy with those who believe that war should be avoided | at the sacrifice of national honor, at the expense of humanity or the loss of lib- erty. I cannot love t who_turn dea ears to the unceasing s of the vietin of tyranny, inhumanity and barbarity, because liberty and relief can only come the shedding of blood. If I read story aright, civilization and ity have not come from the sur- | the fittest, but by the sacrifice of the best. What puny human intelli gence dares to assert that the blood of | Lexington was not sacred, even as the | blood of Calvary? Warren at Bunker | Hill, Baker at Balls Bluff, Bagley at| Cardenas, all_gloriously died to hasten | the coming of God's kingdom on_earth. | Yea, and Dewey, in the harbor of Manila, was' the blessed messenger of God’s just | wrath. I do not know when this war with Spain’| will cease. I do not know what sacri- | fices we may be calied upon to make. I| do not know how many headstones may | yet be added to this city of the dead. I| do not know how many mothers’ hearts | may mourn. I do not know how many al- | tars may be desolated. But I do know | that whatever the cost, the delivering of | the new world from the barbarity and | inhumanity of Spain’s merciless despot- {sm will be worth it all. I do know that the cementing together of the hearts of | all the people in enduring friendship and | abiding love; I do know that the con- | secration of American energles, the u lifting of American sentiment in so un- | selfish and holy a cause; I do know that | this touching of elbows under the one flag | by the men and the sons of the men Who faced each other on our battlefiolds | under two flags; 1 do know that this ac- | complishment of God's great purpose will bring to the American people God's choic- est blessing and reward. And I have faith to believe that from above the opened heavens the great war President, + Abraham Lincoln, looks down approving- 1y upon our great war President, Willlam McKinley, while Grant and Lee, could | they but 'speak to us to-day, would fire | the hearts of their old lieufenants now in command of the armies of the United States with the inspiring cry “On to S Rest in peace, oh mighty dead. The | cause for which you fought can never be assafled. Rest In peace—thé race whosa | freedom you achieved will bless you with | their latest breath. Rest in peace—the | union you preserved remains forever, and | liberty, equal rights and justice are the heritage of your descendants to the Judgment Day. God bless the men who followed the flag. | The Presidential party left at the | conclusion of Senator Thurston’s ora- | tion, driving almost immediately back to the city. Hon. John C. Chaney, ex- Assistant Attorney-General of the | United States, also delivered an ora- tion, In the course of which he pre- dicted that no nation whose most glo- rious boast is the feats of its bull- fighters, can long withstand the ad- vancing columns of our military hosts. SimultaReously with the exercises in the amphitheater, a smaller assemblage gathered on the front porch of the mansion where the Confederate chief- tain, Lee, spent much of his life, to at- tend special naval services at the tomb of Admiral Porter. Ex-Secretary of Navy Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama | was the speaker of the day, and an ad- dress was also delivered by W. H. Michael, chief clerk of the State De- partment. Mr. Herbert said in part: Here rest the hallowed remains of heroes of the army and navy of the | Union, but here also are heroes of the Confederacy, all sleeping in the same goil and covered by the same flag, and ex- Unjon and ex-Confederate soldiers and sallors are here alike to pay united tri- bute to the deeds of those who maae for- ever glorious the epoch of our great Civil War. Never was there a clvil war like ours, and never were the fruits of a war richer or more beneficent. There was no compromise. Secession the issue and slavery the incident were settled for- ever; nothing left for dispute, and as the God of nature intended it should be, we became at last one country, such a union of state and Seople as Washington and Franklin an Jackson _fought for, dreamed of and planned, but never lived to see.

TRIALS IN DISTRICT COURT THOUSANDS CAMPED ALONG THE TRAILS. When the Ice Breaks on the Lakes and Rivers the Rush to the Klondike Will Be Resumed. Bpecial Correspondence of The Call. DYEA, Alaska, May 22.—During the last two weeks the United States Dis- trict Court in session at Sitka has been occupied most of the time with the trials of three cases of murder—two to the sallors of the Civil War. The| Union navy, better supplied, achieved re sults out of all proportion to the nui bers enlisted in the army and navy; aye, even out of all proportion to cost of the two branches of the service. Certainly no one kKnows better than the Confedeérates the telling effect of the blows delivered by the United States navy during the Civil War, and it may be that without them we' should | have had two governments where we now have one, and that Wheeler and Fitz- hugh Lee would be to-day commanding army corps on the South side of a line of forts and custom houses running | across_this continent from east to west, | while Brooke and Shafter commanded on | the Northern side of the line. Let us unite, my countrymen, in the prayer that in the war we are now waging for lib- erty’s and humanity’s sake our soldiers and our sailors may continue to be worthy of th from whose loins they have sprung that the future of our beloved co be as bright as is y m the promise of to-day. PHILADELPHIA, May 30.—Not since | the year of its institution has Memorial day had a more impressive observance At the Lincoln t, in Fairmount Park, ser- ere held by George G. Meade . 1, after which the post visited grave of General Meade. An ad- was delivered by Archdeacon Cyrus D. Brady. At Laurey Hill Cem- | etery General Daniel E. Sickles was the orator of the day, and an address was also delivered by General St. Clair A. Mullholland. At the tomb of Anna M. Boss, in Monument Cemetery, marked honors were paid. Colonel Fred Tay- lor Post No. 13, after attending the services, marched to Odd Fellows’ | Cemetery. In the parade was a pony phaeton containing two little girls, one dressed as America and the other as ngland. A float capable of seating sixty-five pupils of the public schools, decorated with the national colors of the United States and England, was also a feature. } CHICAGO, May 30.—In addition to than that of to-day. monu vices the great number of graves of Union 6000 Confederate dead lie buried In cemeteries here. Not one of them, Northerner or Southerner, was overlooked to-day. After the cere- monies at the cemeteries to-day there was a magnificent parade in the heart of the city. The line of march was ablaze with national colors. The city | has never before on Decoration Day en such an outpouring as greeted the old soldiers to-day. Practically the whole population turned out to honor the veterans and cheer the volunteer | defende: The parade was com- posed of six divisions, and was partici- pated in by about all the military or- | ganizations, secret societies and march- ing clubs of the city. The cheers were loudest when the Ninth battalion of | colored soldiers, under Captain Mar- | hall, fell into line. They will be the first to go out under the new call and | the only representation which this city | will have in the call for 75,000 volun- | teers. One of the features of the par- | ade which drew forth demonstrations from the crowd was the tattered pen- nant of the fll-fated battleship Maine which was borne in the ranks. CLEVELAND, May 30.—The Me- | morial Day exercises to-day eclipsed | in many respects all former events of | like character in the history of Cleve- land. The present war with Spain has increased the general interest in the Memorial Day exercises and as a re- sult & number of civic and semi-mili» tary organizations marched in the Decoration Day parade for the first time. Appropriate exercises were held and the graves of the dead in all of the | various cemeterles were profusely strewn with flowers. PITTSBURG, Mav 30. — Memorial Day was more generally observed in Pittsburg and vicinity than for many years, due, of course, to the war feel- ing. There were no special decorations at the grave of Lieutenant Jenkins of the Maine, but the naval reserve fired a salute. The day passed without ac- cident or special incident. CINCINNATI, May 30.—Owing to the arrangements now in progress for the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic here next Sep- tember, the local posts are unusually active and gave the largest parade to- day ever known here on 2’emorial Day. Starting at 9 a. m. the llne of march extended over the principal streets and then special trains took all to Spring Grove Cemctery, where the usual exer- cises took place. GETTYSBURG, Pa., May 30.—The memorial exercises held at the National Cemetery here to-day were participated in by more people than ever before. The school children, members of the Ladies” Aid Society and the people generally strewed flowers over the graves of the soldier dead. Congressman George J. Benner of this district presided and the principal address was delivered by Hon. Webster Davis, Assistant Secretary of the Interior. LEXINGTON, Ky., May 30.—For the first time since the war the Confeder- ate veterans joined with the G. A. R in observing Memorial day and decorat- ing the graves of Union soldiers. The ceremonies at the cemetery were most impressing. NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 30.—The graves of the Federal soldiers in the National cemeteries near Nashville and Murfreesboro were decorated to-day. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 30.—On account of the volunteer army en- camped on ground where thousands of Union soldiers buried here lost their lives during the Civil War, the Decor- ation day exercises to-day were unus- ually impressive. The 13,000 graves in the National Cemetery were covered with flowers and flags. At 3. p. m. a long procession formed and to the strains of martial music furnished by the Fourth Ohio Regiment Band marched to the stand in the cemetery where the exercises were held. The annual oration was delivered by Cap- tain Henry A. Castle of Washington, D. C. The benediction was pronounced by Frank M. Bruner, chaplain-in-chief of the G. A. R., and a salute was fired over the graves by a detachment from Camp Thomas. INDIANAPOLIS, May 30.—Memorial day was generally observed here to- day. Ex-Judge B. W. Howe, who de- livered the principal address, dwelt on the close relations between the North and South, and advocated the return- ing of the Southern flags. . from Skaguay and one from Dyea, which occurred last winter and early spring, when those towns were a m-I tle fuller of toughs, cutthroats and sure-thing men than they are now. But Sheep Camp, up on the Dyea trial, not to be tehind the more pretentious gateways to the Klondike, furnished a murder early last’ Friday morning for the next session of Uncle Sam'’s tri- bunal to try. John Peterson was one of the best known characters of Sheep Camp. He was an auctioneer and sold anything. Peterson’s place had the reputation of not being fastidious about where goods may have come from which were of- fered to him for sale. He is said never to have asked questions, and made an effort to get anything from a sack of | flour to a pack strap quickly sold and | out of sight. He and a gambler named Pat Malone had hot words over a batch of goods which had been stolen, and it is alleged, mysteriously disposed of. Friday morning early Malone stopped in front of Peterson's! place and opened up a volley of curses upon him that would cause a Spaniard to hide his head with envy. Peterson was in bed on the second floor of the house. He got up and opened fire on Malone. The latter drew his revolver and shot through the boards at the spot where he thought Peterson might be. At last Peterson appeared at a window. Malone's bis revolver flashed instantly. A heavy builet tore its way | up through Peterson’s abdomen and | body, and he dropped down a corpse. Peterson’s place was not popular at Sheep Camp, and his sudden death brought out but few expressions of sympathy. Malone was arrested and is now in custody here. He will be taken to Sitka on the next steamship for safe keeping. George Mehan and James Fox, two | well-known Alaskan miners, are re- ported to have been killed by Indians | a few days ago on McClintock River. | They are sald to have been coming down the river to Lake Marsh in a | small boat when they were fired on by | Indians from ambush. Mehan was| shot through the heart, dying instant- 1y, but Fox, fatally wounded, escaped from the boat and made his way down shore to the Canadian Police Station on the lake. where he reported what had happened and died. The report lacks confirmation and is not believed here. There is no trouble with the Indians in | the interior. Mehan had just sold a piece of property In Juneau for $3000 and left with Fox for the Yukon Basin. The ice in the lakes is showing signs | of impatience at the delay of the | weather in allowing it to break up. It| has thawed out 300 feet from shore on | Lakes Linderman and Bennett. The first hard wind that blows is expected to break up the ice and release it, and | then the thousands of men encamped | there will begin their long float down the river. The manifests of all ships arriving since January 1 last show that a total of 19,000 persons have been carried to| Juneau, Dyea and Skaguay. Of these about 4000 have returned south, about 5000 are in Dyea, Skaguay and on the trail, and the remaining 10,000 of the total number are an army encamped | between Lake Lebarge and the sum- mits of the trails. Most of these have their boats built or nearly completed. Among them are a number of specula- tors who will either make $50 or more for every dollar so far invested or go broke entirely. One man has three large boat loads of oranges and lemons which he expects to sell for $1 each at Dawson, and another has three tons of nafls which are worth from $5 to $10 per pound in Dawson now. Of course there will be plenty of nafls for building purposes after the first flo- tilla of boats gets up the river next month or in July, but the naill specula- tor will make Dawson in ten or twelve days after the ice breaks up so he can go down with the water. The Canadian police over at the lakes are doing many humane acts for the relief of man’s most useful brute friend, the horse. There Is no more working horses without food till they drop from sheer exhaustion, as was very frequently the cruel practice on the trails last fall during the rush. ‘When the police find out that a man cannot feed his animals they either compel him to do so or they shoot the animals. In this they have the support of the generalr sentiment. Within a week after the ice breaks the river will present the unprecedented spectacle of ten thousand men in nearly half as many boats floating thick as the sec- tions of Xerxes pontoon bridge down the Lewlis into the mighty Yukon and on to Dawson. Campfires at night will gleam thick as the flash of fireflles along a distance of 600 miles. The Dalton trail from Pyramid Har- bor will be the cattle trail of the sum- mer. It is being cleared now, and bridges are being bullt across the streams by Jack Dalton and his asso- ciates. A toll of so much per head will be charged the cattle crossing on the bridges. The general merchandise house of Scott & Lindsey of Dyea failed yesterday for a total of $2103 91. Creditors closed in on them. The San Francisco credi- tors are: Greenebaum, Weil X Michels, $304 31; Buckingham & Hecht, $255 44; Louis Klein & Co., $161. The heads of two small firms at Skaguay have skipped out for the lakes, leaving their creditors in the lurch. United States, District Judge C. 8. Johnson during the regular term of court at Sitka this week imposed on each saloon in Alaska a fine of $100. As there are about three hundred s: loons in the various citles of the dis- trict the total fines will amount to $30,- 000, quite a neat sum to assist the revenue of the district. The saloons are fined for selling liquor in violation of law. HAL HOFFMAN. Columbia Being Repaired. NEW YORK, May 30.—The cruiser Columbia was placed in the drydock this afternoon. A number of me- chanics and laborers were at work rip- ping out the damaged plates. The collier Leonidas left the yard to-day and the collier Pompey, in command of Captain Narley, steamed out a few hours later, The destination of neither vessel was made known, but it is un- that they are bound for south- ern waters, A TRIED T0 RON THE BLOCKADE British Steamer Restor- mel Captured. HAD COAL FOR SPANIARDS BUT A SHOT FROM THE ST. PAUL STOPPED HER. Bold Attempt to Carry Fuel and Re- lief to the Fleet Locked Up in Santiago de Cuba Harbor. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. KE{ TEST, May 30.—The British steamer Festormel was brought in | here this morning as a prize, having been captured while trying to put into | Santiago de Cuba with coal. The Restormel was captured under the very guns of Morro Castle. She carried 2400 tons of the best Welsh | coal from Cardiff, presumably intended | for Admiral Cervera’s fleet. The St. | Paul had been lying off Santiago for six days, and early last Wednesday morning the big collier was sighted, making at full speed for Santiago har- bar. The St. Paul fired a blank shot and the Restormel came to four miles from the Santlago forts. The forts did not fire on the cruiser. A prize crew, in command of Lieutenant J. A. Pattson, was put on board and dfs- possessed the British officers, whomade no protest. Notalinewasfound among the ship’s papers relative to the destination or| consignee of the cargo. The Restor- | mel was hearded at once for Key West. | She was leaking badly when captured | and is still in a serious condition. The Restormel now lies in the har- ( bor near the wharf. The British flag | is flying at her stern. Marines patrol | the prize and will allow no one aboard. | The members of her crew are not even | allowed to take newspapers offered to them from launches that come along- side. In addition to the St. Paul there were | five other naval scouts outside Santi- ago, establishing a definite blockade in | the sense that no merchant vessels are allowed to enter, The guard on the Restormel is go | strict that even the British Consul is not permitted to go on board. The steamer cleared from Cardiff for San Juan, and is believed to have touched | at that point and to have been ordered | to Santiago. It is rumored that she had Spanish officers on board. Lieutenant Pattson, the prize com- mander of the Restormel, made an ex- plicit statement this morning, saying the steamer hove to after the first shot. He added that the Spanish forts did| not appear to notice the capture. The | lieutenant also said the Restormel is | uninjured, and he has madJe the same | statement to the Federal authorities | here. AMENDING THE WAR REVENUE BILL | Senate Finance Committes Devotes Three Hours to the Measure. WASHINGTON, May 30.—The Sen- ate Committee on Finance was in ses- sfon for three hours to-day considering amendments which have been sug- gested to the war revenue bill. The| time was spent largely in an exchange | of views upon the policy of accepting | any amendments which are not ger- mane to the bill, the result being a de- | termination to accept none such of whatever character. The talk was directed especially toward the amend- ment of Senator Lodge for the annexa- tion of Hawaii and that of Senator | Morgan providing for a form of gov- ernment for acquired territory, and there was a general expression of opin- ion that they should not be accepted by the committee, and, furthermore, that if necessary they should be met with motions to table. This decision was also made applicable to other like | amendments, such as that offered by | Senator Pettigrew for the abrogation of the Hawaiian reclprocity treaty. There was no dissenting view from this policy. Senators favorable personally to the various amendments agreed with those who were not, that, with | the door once opened to changes not | pertinent to the main subject of the | bill, the end would be indefinitely post- | poned. The committee also discussed, tosome extent, amendmentssuggestingchanges in the method of taxing transactions of stock and grain exchanges and in- surance brokers, but decided to leave the provisions relating to these sub- | Jects as they now stand. The only two changes of importance decided upon related to drugs and to recipes. The amendment regarding recipes exempts them for amounts be- low $5 and that in relation to drugs is a verbal change making clearer the meaning of the committee that drugs and proprietary articles should be | taxed only when sold. There was also a virtual understand- ing that, if the Gorman amendment should be adopted by the Senate, there would be still further changes in the stamp tax made, as in that event it will not be necessary to collect so large a sum on stamps. The committee is divided on the Gorman amendment. OUTBURST OF FRIENDSHIP. FOR THE UNITED STATES Services in Which the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack Shared Honors. TORONTO, Ont., May 30.—An extra- ordinary outburst of friendship for the United States and in favor of Anglo- Saxon unity was witnessed in nearly all the Toronto churches and in many churches throughout Ontario yester- day. The Central Congregational Church, on Bond street, had more than 2000 people at each service and this was a sample of others throughout the city. Pictures of the Queen and President McKinley were prominently displayed above the pulpit and the building was profusely decorated with Union Jacks, Stars and Stripes and Cuban flags. Many of the congregation carried small Stars and Stripes and Union Jacks. The vast congregation joined heartily in singing “God Save the Queen” and “The Star Spangled Banner.” At Massey Music Hall there was a military service conducted by the Rev. G. Ellerid of Austin, Tex. He preached a sermon which was an eloquent plea for the closest possible rélations be- tween the two countries, which he be- lieved would be the best secured by the federation of Great Britain and her col- onies. He predicted that the errors and animosities of the past would be forgot- ten in the great work which lay before | | and_Recorder, the two countries in llberntln{hlhe op- pressed and throwing wide the com- merce of the world to the enterprise of the Anglo-Saxon race. TALLEY ROAD NEARS TULARE Grading Completed to the City Limits. RAILS WILL BE LAID SOON. END OF MONOPOLY'S RULE IN SIGHT. Before Many Weeks Have Passed the First Train of the Competing Line Will Be Given & Welcome. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. TULARE, May 30.—The graders on the Visalla and Tulare branch of the | Valley road have completed the grade from the main line at Jacob's Well to the eastern edge of this city. The grade through Tulare is completed with the exception of a fifty foot fill where it crosses the tracks of the Southern Pa- cific. and for all the side tracks and corral tracks are now finished. The grading outfits will now move to a line east of the town, and the work of completing the grade from Tulare to Visalia will be rushed from now on. | This grade is not a heavy one, and will not consume quite as much time as was expended on the work west of Tulare. Less than ten miles of grading remains to be done, and then the work of laying the rails will beicommenced. A part of the Grant Brothers’ outfit, consisting of four cars of horses and | mules and two cars of grading utensils has been shipped from Tulare to Chi- huahua, Mexico, where the Grants have a large contract to complete. A con- siderable force will remain here to com- plete the grade to Visalia. Before many weeks Valley Road trains will enter Tulare, and the people will give them a warm greeting. TO CHECK BLATANT PRO-SPANISH FEELING Special Effort Made by the American | Colony in Paris to Honor Lafay- ette’s Memory. PARIS, May 30.—With a view to check the blatant pro-Spanish feeling here and enlist the sympathies of Frenchmen on the side of America, a special effort was made by the Amer- ican colony to-day to do honor to the memory of Lafayette. A big gather- ing proceeded to his tomb in the Pypus | Cemetery, which was decorated with wreaths and mutual flags. The United States Embassador, General Horace Porter, deposited the America. wreaths and in an eloquent speech referred to America’s debt to Lafayette and the ‘“‘unbreakable ties between the two people.” He was warmly applauded. M. Bartholdi followed in the same strain, but he said he deplored the fact | that it was believed that there existed a new spirit among modern Americans ‘which differed from the traditions of he founders of the republic.” Con- inuing, M. Bartholdi said Frenchmen looked to General Porter and Amer- lcans like him to ‘“keep the United States faithful to its great principles of liberty and justice which presided at the birth of the republic.” The military band present played American and r'rench anthems and all those who attended the ceremonies de- filed before the tomb. —_—— COLUSA COUNTY PRIMARIES.
