Eloquent Address—Description of

Fredericksburg. Va., June 10.—The

in honor of Memorial day and the unTeiling
of the confederate statue. Thousands

ing a number of confederate oamps

with prayer by Rev. I. W. Cauter of the
Methodist oburch, and then Gen. Bradley
T. Johnston of Baltimore, the orator of the
day, delivered the unveiling address, which
was in part as follows:
GEN. JOHNSTON’S ADDRESS.
Fellow-Confederates, Men and Women—
For the last twenty years I have been observ
ing with growing wonder the phenomenal feeling
toward the actors on Hie confederate side. It
is a fact,land a wonderful fact, that the pathos,
sentimupt and romance of the war between the
states, is concentrated and crystalized about
the cause of the confederacy. In the north to
day no name thrills human hearts like that of
Lee; no name elect rifle ) the people
like that of Stonewall Jackson; no
flag flashes, no saber glistens like
teat of Stuart. Neither Grant, nor Sherman,
cor Sheridan, great and successful soldiers of
the victorious side, have left such an impression
on the imagination or hearts of the people as have
the leaders of the confederates who died in
battle or yielded to overwhelming force when
further resistance would have been criminal. I
do not mean to intimate, for I do not believe that
the north has changed its opinion as to the wis
dom of our course. They thought then, and
they think now, it was foolish to break up the
union, because, first, the union was profitable,
and, second, because it was impossible
before overwhelming forces for us to succeed
But Ido say that the idea is dimly pressing itself
upon the northern mind that we tried to avoid
t lie war aud did Dot want a war, but that it was
brought on, waged and continued for the pur
pose of keeping a faction in power and ena
bling controlers of faction to make profit out
of it.
He declared that the confederate soldiers
were the greatest the English race had ever
produced.
a tribute to southern women.
Gen. Johnston then paid a warm tribute
to the confederate soldier and to the women
of the south. Occasionally one of the lat
ter, he continued, has picked up
a handsome, dashing and gallant ynn
kee officer. “Iho temptation to get
even,” he went on, “was so strong for oven
a confederate woman, but she has since held
his misfortune at having been a yankee over
bia head, and has made a better man and a
bettor Boidier of him every time.”
The speaker was frequently interrupted
by applause. Tho statue wa3 then unveiled
by Capt. John W. Barney amidst great
cheering. The band played, and then the
exercise) closed with an artillery and in
fantry salute.
THE STATUE AND MONUMENT.
It is a bronze statue of a confederate sol
dier 93>i feet high. He is represented as
standing at parade rest with musket in hand,
at.d with a blanket thrown over tho left
shouidcr. His haversack swings from tho
same side, while from the right side swings
a canteen and bayonet and scabbard. On
bis head rests the familiar slouch hat.
The corner-stone of the monument,
the apex of which is now crow ed
by a confederate statue, was laid June 4,
1374, by Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4, A.
F. and A. M., and the monument was c r.i
pleted and unveiled Memorial day, Thur -
day, June 9, with imposing and elaborate
exercises. The monument was erect; and la

RALEIGH’S EXPOSITION.
President Harrison Invitsd to Visit
the Old North State.
Washington, June 10. —A delegation of
about seventy persons, representing all the
southern states, waited on President Harri
son this morning and invited him to attend
the exposition to be held in Raleigh, N. C.,
in October and November. The party was
headed by Senator Ransom of North Caro
lina and Patrick Walsh of Augusta,
Ga., and included Maj. Badger
of Raleigh, Col. A. B. Andrews
of Richmond, Maj. R. S. Tneker. Col.
Burgoyue, and representatives of nearly
all the southern cities. Gov. Holt of North
Carolina intended to be with the party, but
was not able to come.
RECEIVED IN THE CABINET ROOM.
Tbe President received them in the cabi
net room. Senator Hanson made an elo
?uont address, inviting the President to
taleigh, and assuring him of a warm and
hospitable welcome. The President, in re
ply, thanked them for the cordiality and
impressiveness of their Invitation, and said
it was very gratifying to him
to feel, that they had come so
far for such a purpose. Their
invitation called for serious consideration
on his part, but be could not now say what
he would be able to do at the time of the
exposition. He said he knew he would be
received with kindness, as he bad recently
had very conclusive evidence on that point.
He regretted that it was not his privilege
to pass through North Carolina on his re
cent trip.
CHAR* ABOUT PROMISES.
He continued : “No, loannot promise
at this time; indeed I am very
chary about promises. Pnblio men
have been severely criticised for mak
ing promises they could not perform, aud I
have made it a strict rule not
to make promises. There is
too much doubt as to the
future state of publio business for me to an
ticipate what I may be able to do. You
will bear in mind that October and Novem
ber are apt to be busy times with the Presi
dent in connection with the assembling of
congress and in the discharge of my con
stitutional duty I must try to enlighten
congress as to tho affairs of the country, so
you see it will not be easy for me to get
away in the fall, i am in full sympathy
with every movement for a display of our
magnifioent development and material
prosperity in the arts and sciences. I will
near your invitation in mind and will try
and arrange my affairs so as to attend.”
The President's few remarks were loudly
applauded.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1891.
WALLA WALLA’S LYNCHING.
The Grand. Jury Find True Bills
Against Only Seven Soldiers.
Walla Walla, Wash., June 10.—
The grand Jury impaneled to investi
gate the lynching of J. Hunt, by soldiers
April 23, has made its report to tho superior
oourl. The report says in part: “We
found true bills against only seven enlisted
men of toe Fourth United States cavalry,
yet we are satisfied there are a number of
soldiers against whom insufficient evidence
has been procurable to w arrant an indict
ment that are equally guilty with these In
dicted. There is no dsubt Col. Complar
did not believe his troops would
make an attack on the county
jail, although the prosecuting attorney and
sheriff interviewed him regarding tbe re
ports which had reached them of the pre
meditated lynobing of Hunt, but tbe attack
on the sheriff and the prisoner. Hunt, on
tbe night before the lynchiug, and tbe open
defiance of the commissioners, supported by
the guards, should have been
sufficient warning to him of what
might be expected, and that negli
gence existed in not taking ample
precaution to keep his men under his di. ac
tion. While precaution would have pre
vented the outrage, in justice to Col. Comp
ton we will state that sinqs lynching he has
rendered the jory all the aid within his
power in our Investigation. We are also of
the opinion that the sheriff was taken by
surprise and was not prepared for defense,
but we believe that if the sheriff had made
proper resistance a general alarm
oould have been sounded, and in
all probability the mob would huve
dispersed without gaining their objects.
We suggest that the board of county com
missioners prepare a statement of the ex -
penses which the county has incurred, and
will incur, on acoount of tbe outrage, and
present the same as a claim against the
United States government. Since the re
lations must oontluue very much strained
between the enlisted men at Fort Walla
Walla aud our citizens, we are of tbe opin
ion that it would be wise and proper that
the troops of this fort be exchanged.”
ATCHISON'S CAS® OF R A BUS.
The Fourth of the Family Taken With
the Remarkable Disease.
Kansas City, Mo., June 10.— Tba fourth
of tho Vandevere family at Atchison, Kan.,
has been taken with hydrophia. The father
was stricken yesterday and his death is
momentarily expected. One member died
Saturday, and two others, it seems, cannot
recover. The case are the most remark
able over heard of in tbe west.
There are six brothers aud oue
sister in tho family, and there is consider
able apprehension lest more of t hem snould
be stricken. Dr. King says that there is no
doubt that the disease was transmitted to
tbe boys when tuey skinned the affected calf
nine years ago. Thomas Vandever is rest
ing easy, and tbe o< ndltlon of his
mind has entirely changed since yester
day morning. He is not quite
convinced that he will live. When Dr.
King called on him be was engaged in
writing a letter of consoiatiou to his father.
Jacob V’audevere, the 15-year-old boy, baa
not taken a particle of nourishment since
he was attacked by rabies Saturday. The
peculiarity of the strong*! disease is its
centering at the muscles of the threat, com
pletely preventing him from swallowing.
The sight of anything nourishing, or any
thing that suggests swallowing, throws him
into the most horrible convulsions.
PRESIDENT POLK'S PLANS.

ments of the newspapers upon the case just
decided, saying that the newspapers
were at perfect. liberty to say
what they pleaied. When the verdict
was pronounced against him Sir William
again offered to cancel his engagement to
Miss Garner, 1 ut that lady, believing in bis
innocence, would not hear of such a thing,
ami insisted that the marriage should take
place to-day. It is expected that Sir Will
iam and nis wife will visit the United
States in the autumn. Lady (Jordon Gum
ming is the eldest daughter of tbe late Com
modore William Garner of New York, who
was drowned in July. 1870, with his wife,

BACCARAT ECHOES.
Koboes of tbe bacourat suit still fill the
air. Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarke,
who so ably argued the case, is ill and thor
oughly exhausted to day. He has entirely
lost the use of hfs voiee and Is obliged to
retire from an important case in whioh he
was retained for to-day. '1 he denunciation
of tho I’rlnce of Wales by the newspaper
press, especially by the tory press, is strong,
ihe shameful scandal has caused a tremen
dous sensation throughout Great Britain,
and it is freely assorted that
ihe revelations made during the trial in the
baccarat suit in court are judged to have
done more to imperil the monarchy than
any event which has taken place for many
years past in England. The assertion made
by tho Daily Chronicle that until the
Prince of Wales, on oath, swears, as his con
federates did, that he. the prince, did not
violate the eolemn pledge he gave to Sir
William Gordon Cuaamlug, the heir ap
parent rests under tho imputation of dis
honor quite as shameful u< that whioh tho
jury put upon Sir William Gordon Cam
ming, reflects the general fooling on tbe
subject.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
The Star to-day, under the heading of
“Royalty at the (Stake,” says that the
Prince of Wales is tbemalo head of bis raoy
The women of his house are virtuous, seli
restraiued and reinin'. Tiie English poor
pie throughout the world want men tub*
more like the women of this royal line,
adding: "This is a proud country, and tbs
man ho aspires to represent Englishmen
must keep everything about him fresh and
bright, and must be exceedingly j alous of
his reputation and must not bo known as a
baocarat banker and as a specialist in gain*
ing couuters.’’
The tall Mall Gazette this afternoon
strongly defends ti e Wilsons, who, tha
Gazette declares, took a “perfectly reason
able and honorable course.” The Gazette
adds: “They could not stop the playing,
as it was evident that the princecame to
the house to play ha -carat, and for nothing
else. Nobody who gave duo weight to the
e > idence could possibly come to any other
conclusion than that Sir William Gordon
Gumming was guilty. Everybody kuow*
that the tastes of the prince and of the
prince’s set are little, if not exactly low, and
that he prefers ohio to culture. It is ab>
surd to stickle about the priuce playing
baccara? when we give publicists carte
blanche to play blackg iardi”
The St. James Gazette this afternoon says
that it is not sure of the guilt of Sir Will,
iam Gordon Camming, who.it adds, will
not go Into retirement without the sympa
thy of many who remember that he served
his country well. This is more than can be
said of vulgar parvenus, male and female,
and of self-indulgent fops who set
themselves to spy upon and hound him to
ruin. “Plain truth is that there ie rowdy
ness, coarseness ami vulgarity of tone about
sooiety, which has been steadily growing of
la'.e years. The refinement and distinction
of salons of a decade ago is vanishing, and
amusements are becoming noisier, rougher
and more coarsely ostentatious every year.*
The Globe this afternoon strongly attache
Gen. Owen Williams and Lord Coventry,
as officers of the highest rank and social
position, for entering into a compact to
permit Sir William Gordon Gumming to
mix with and to retain the respect
of his fellow officers and of 'society
when they fixedly believed him guilty
ot card sharping. The Globs adds that
they with the Prince of Wales, seemed to
prefer the most imprudent course, resulting
in a scandal, of which it is impossible for
the most tolerant to think without tbedeep
est pain. The leader of English society has
displayed the most disappointing indiffer
ence to bis responsibilities.
The provincial newspapers also strongly
condemn the Prince of Wales’ connection
with the scandal.
QUEEN VICTORIA’S DISPLEASURE.
A precis of the court proceedings was
telegraphed each night to the queen, who is
now at Balmoral castle, in Scotland. Her
majesty is said to have expressed her dis
pleasure in such strong terms that Truth of
this city asserts that it would not be sur
prised if the court of the queen’s bench
revelations were the cause of the Earl of
Coventry’s resigning his office as master
of her majesty’s buokhounds, or chief
of the royal hunt of her
majesty’s household, for which office the
earl draws an annual salary of $7,500. The
queen does not attempt to conceal the fact
tnat she U angry witn every one connected
with the baccarat scandal, and effects of
the royal displeasure may yet be felt in
several quarters.
THE PRINCE DENOUNCED,
At the Primitive Methodist conference
now being held at Northampton, several of
tb speakers denounced the Prince of Wales
for tho share he took in the baccarat
scandal. Ia addition sorue of speakers
urged that the Prince of Wales should not
be allowed to succeed to the throne unless
he abaattoas gambling. The conference
will consider to-morrow some resolutions
upon this subject
81r William Gordon Gumming has re
signed front all tbe clubs of which he was a
moroter. Hir Camming told a friend to
day that it was cot tho lady very generally
mentioned, but another lady woll known in
society who was the principal factor in the
betrayal of the card Beorot.
Bir Gumming’* caste in the trial amounted
to $35,000.

The morning papers stated that this case
would be called before Judge Joshua Baker
in Seotiou B of the criminal court, conse
quently when the court opened there was
a large attendance of spectators.
After Judge Baker had dispatched
Ihe customary business of the morning
O’Malley aud MoCrystal were called. They
both appeared, accompanied by their coun -
sel, Capt. A. D. Henrlquas. The prosecu
tion was represented by District Attorney
Luzon berg. Judge W. T. Evans and Charles
T. Heard. After the wituezses had been
called the district attorney asked
for severance of the two accused,
as the state proposed to place McCrystal on
trial first. Accordingly O'Malley was told
to step aside. The purpose of the ee veranoe

the jury was immediately begun and soon
completed.
M’CABE TESTIFIES.

lector. He related the circumstanoes of his
being summoned as a teles juror on Sun
day, and on Monday morning before going
to tbe court MoCrystal called upon him
and told him he (MoCabe) could make
money out of the caeu. On the same even

Washington, June 10.— The report of
tho statistician of the department of agri
culture for Jane makes tho acreage in cot
ton 07.7 per cent, of the area of 1890, and
the average condition 82. The reduction of
the area is attributed in some district* to
ooncerted ooutraction on aocount of low
prices, but it Is evident that it is mainly
due to the unfavorable conditions for plant

the general condition.
Tbe general condition is lowest for Juno
since 1874, though it it only afraotion lower
that that of 1883 and 1889, the latter a year
of good yield, through favorable later con
ditions. The state averages of conditions
are: Virginia 78, North Carolina 75, South
Carolina 80, Georgia 80, Florida 80, Ala
bama 89, Mississippi 88, Louslana 88, Texas
91, Arkansas 89, Tennessee 73. Tho tem
perature of May was quite too low for
cotton, tbs cool nights checking germination
and retarding tbe growth. Of course these
conditions make the crop of late develop

THE CONDITION OF WHEAT.
The June report of the statistician of tha.
department of agriculture makes tho area,
in winter wheat os compared with tha
breadth harvested last year, 111.5; springy
wheat 103.4; barley 107.1; rye 101.5; oatai
97.9. The condition of winter wheat isixi.flj
spring wheat 92.6; barley 90.3; rye 95.4 4
oats 85.
In comparison with 1889 tbe increase iu
the wheat acreage is quite moderate. ThaJ
reduction last year of more than 2.000.000<
acres suggests a reason for most of tne pres
ent inoronae. This advance Is, therefore,,

in several territories.

Tho violent fluctuations make invcitiga*
tion diffioult, and iu some districts will ren
der necessary a supplementary work. Tcs
this extent pre.ent estimates may be con
sidered preliminary. The extension of tho
acreage, according to the department oor
respondents, depends on the prioe oQ

land. A largo increment of wbpah
breadth is reported in Washington. A
amount of new land Is being broken ITilt

Texas 98, Ohio 99, Michigan 90, Indiana 99,

averages of spring wheat makes Wisconsin

Dakotas 90.
THE KFFKCTS OF RAIN AND DROUGHT.
Early sown wheat was injured by fros®
iu \V isconsiu aud Minnesota. Germination
was arrested by drought iu the same region,
in South Dakota tho drought has retarded
the growth. The conditions have been mo; a 1
favorable generally iu North Dakota. Thai
recent rui s in Nebraska and lowa hava
greatly benefited wheat and encouraged
growers. The drought in May hast
greatly injured oats on the entira
Atlantic coast. Winter oats in thar
southern states are far betten
than the spring crop, which has been par—
tinlly destroyed by drought and insects.
Not only was the acreage reduced in tha
Ohio valley, but the condition is low im
consequence of the dry weather. In Alin*
neaota tha injuries by drought wore supple-i
raented by those of cut worms. The
tmn is highest on the Northern Atlantia
const end on the Pacific, where the arena
are very limited. .
INCREASE OF BARLEY ACREAGE. I
The increase in acreage of barley is gen*
oral in aim t every section where it ia

of the Ohio valley, in Wisconsin and CaiH
