General Butterfield hiself was present | and assisted in the ce v, but owing 10 iil health the committal of the monu- ment to the Secretary of War was made by Colonel Hill, one of the veterans of the Fifth Corps. The ccremony was with due Masonic rites and at its completion the Secretary of War accepted the gift in_the name of the American people. The vislt of the President to Fredericks- burg was primarily in honor of the annual reunion of the Army of the Potomac. The town was in gala dress and turned out en masse to receive the distinguished vis. itors. The President and party were wel comed at the Courthouse, which was dec- orated with the national colors and the various corps flags of the Army of the Potomac. Welcoming speeches were mads by prominent veterans from both sides of the Civil War and afterward the Presi- dent held an informal reception at the home of St. George R. Fitzhugh, where he was welcomed by hundreds of the townfolk, both white and colored. At the close of the ceremonies the Pres- idential party returned to Washington, but the reunion exercises of the Society of the Potomac were continued at night in the opera-house, where addresses were made by a_number of veterans, including Gen- eral Joseph Wheeler, who sald In part: “The history of the Army of the Poto- mac presents features which are very dls- tinctive in their charscter. Its record, considering the numbers engaged and the sanguinary character of its battles, pre- sents a picture of martial prowess unsur- | passed by any army of modern times. In some of the battles in which this army was engaged nearly a third of its officers and soldiers were either killed or wound- ed, while in the great battles of Europe the losses seldom exceeded one-seventh and In many of the European battles which history describes as severe and sanguinary the killed and wounded were only from 5 to 10 per cent of the force en- gaged. The fearful casualty list of both contending armies in the Civil War was caused by the determined courage of the army which attacked and the stubborn resistance of those who met and resisted the assaulting columns. It was this he- roic conduct which brought out to their fullest measure the splendid qualities of American soldiers. ‘Death is at all times surrounded by sadness and sorrow and this is essentially true when the victims are youthful, buoyant spirits who are al- | ways first to obey their country's call to arms; but the bravery of such men on the fleld where their live: are sacrificed is | the most precious memory In the history | of our country. Their martial example | is our pride, glory, safety and strength.” WASHINGTON, May 25.—The Industrial Commission in its report to Congress on labor legislation recommends lmproved legislation to the State Legislatures rather than to Congress directly. ““The subject of greatest public Interest to-day,” says the report, “is perhaps that ories. The employment of children below the age of 14 should be prohibited in factories. Lne length of the working day in all pub- lic employment should be nxed at eight hours. The same time should be fixed for workmen in underground mines, except in cases of emergency. BEmployment in mines of children less than 14 years of age and of all women and girls should be forbidden. Congress might well enact that no person under 13 should be em- ployed as a telegraph operator upon rail- roads, and that all engineers and switch men should submit to an examination for color blindness; also that it be made a misdemeanor for an engineer or switch- man to be intoxicated while on duty. A simple and liberal law regulating the pay ment_of labor should be adopted by all the States, providing that all laborers shall be paid in cash orders without dis- count, not in gdods or due bills, and that no compulsion, direct or indirect, should be used to make them purchase goods at any particular store. Provisions for the fair weighing of coal at mines before passlni over a screen should be adopted, and the miners should have the privilege of employing a check welghman at their own expense. The question of the enforcement of the labor contract by injunction or contempt in equity proc is called a difficult one, mainly made so by the abuses which have arisen from injunctions carelessly issued. It is suggested that it might be well to 1lfmit punishment for contempt to impris- onment for a brief period, but equity courts must not be deprived of the power to protect themselves and to make their decrees respected. The practice of award- ing blanket injunctions against ail the world, or against unnumbered defendants, as well as the practice of indirectly en- forcing the contract for permanent serv- ice by enjoining employes from qultting work, should be discouraged not only by popular sentiment but by intelligent judi- cial opinion.

NEW YORK, May 25.—Joe Gans of Bal- timore knocked out Dal Hawkins of Cali- fornia at the Broadwag’ Athletic Club to- night in two rounds of the fastest fight- ing ever seed in the clubhouse. The men were acheduled to go twenty-five rounds at 133 pounds and both scaled under the limit. Hawkine assumed the aggressive at once and sailed in on his man with both hands.
