This event, which is possibly without a parallel in the hbtoryyof the worid, was grated by the presence of the president of tho United Slates, a .■oniput’.ied by many members of his cabinet; a score or more of United Stales senators, as many mem bers of the house.

The president said: "My Chairman and My Fellow Citizens-- I app. r only a moment that I may make acknowledgment for your courteous greeting and express in a single word my sincere approval of this occasion for which we have assembled today. "In this presence and on this memora ble field I am glad to meet the followers of Lee, Jackson. Isingstrcet und John ston with the follow, rs of Grant and Mc- Clelland and Sherman and Sheridan, greeting each other not with arms In th*ir h ind.- or malice in theii souls, but with affection and r. speet for each other in their hearts. (Applause.) Standing hero todav one reflection only has crowned my mind—tho difference between the sections und that of thirty -eight years ago. Then the men who wore tho blue and the men who wore tlie gray greeted each other w ith shot and shell and visited death upon their respective ranks. We meet, after nil these intervening years with but ono sentiment-that of loj.vltv to tho govern ment of the United Stites, love for our flag and free Institutions, and determined men of the north und men of the south to make any sacrifice lor the honor and perpetuity of the American nation. (Great Applause.) Sentiments of Fraternity. “My fellow citizens, I am glad, also, of the famous miettng between Grant and Lee at Appomattox. I am glad we were kept together, aren’t you?” (cries of ‘yes, yes')—“glad that th * union was saved by the honorable terms made between Grant and Lee. under the famous apple tree, and there is one glorious fact that must be always gratifying to us—the American soldiers never surry’jider.oi but to Amer icans. (Applause.) ”1 account it great honor to participate on this occasion with the great state of Maryland in its tribute to the valor and heroism and the sacrifices of the con federate and union armies. Tho valor of the one or tho other, the valor of both, is tho common heritage of us all. And my countrymen, the achievements of the war, every ono of th'in, are just as much the inheritance of those who failed as those Wlio prevailed, and when we went to war two years ago the men of the south and the men of the north vied with each other tn show their devotion to tho United States. (Applause.) The follow ers of the confederate generals with tho followers of the federal generals fought side by side In Cuba, In Porto Rico and In the Philippines, and In those far off islands are standing together today fighting and dying for the fljjg Hu y love, the !!•< that represents more than any other banner In the world, the best hopes mid aspirations of mankind.” (Great and long continued applause.) The monument is of granite and brone, octagonal. 22 feet In diameter nt base and 85 feet high to the top of tho statue.

The plan to raise a. monument to the confederate dead took shape more than a year ago. Colom I VV. H. Knauss, of Ohio, a i embei of »ne Grand Army of the Republic, brought to tie- attention of the Daughters ot the Confeth racy that there at< in the cemeteries of the north tile graves oi thousands of con federal: soldiers, manv ot them unknown. The organization took up the matter and I’ •- gnn to collect funds, principally in the south, for the purpose of raising monu ments over these graves. In this city (hi' General Dabney Maury chapter un dertook the work and hop'-d in the be ginning to have the monument ready to be unveiled yesierday. Whether the project will be dropped, now that opposition to it has develojn d. remains for lit* general society of the Daughters of the Confederacy to deter mine.

May 30.-(Speclal.)-With cheerfulness of action that plainly showed that sectional feeling Is g mo for ever be tween th« north and south, the members of the Grand Army post of this city today journeyed to the Confederate cemetery on Johnson's Island and covA I the graves of their countrymen with bouquets and wreaths of cholctst flowers. An abundance of fl .w* rs had been pro vided to tastefully decorate the graves of the dead southern officers before the start was made, but upon arrival at the Island a company of young people started on a tour through tho wooded grove and in a short time returned with arm fulls of nature's sweetest gifts, the early spring flowers of this northern climate. The graves were decorated and tho wreaths and hu£ ■ bouquets spoke elo quently of the brotherly feeling that ex ists In northern breasts for southern friends. The national flag waves on high over the graves of the departed officers and a beautiful service was rendered un der one of tho spreading forest trees jn the middle of the cem-try. The grass In tho cemetery was closely mown and tho trees ncallv trimmed. Tiie headstones are kept in the best of rder. Situated upon a gradual slope overlooking the far reach ing water, with forest trees on three sides and tlie abandoned fort in the rear, the cemetery breathes an air of sacredness that was clearly shown In the faces of those present.

OPENING OF NEW LINE BEING CELEBRATED. Seaboard Air-Line Owners and Guests Are Inspecting 1 Route in a Special Train. By Frank Weldon. Columbia. S. C.. May 30—(Special.)— The greater Seaboard is opening its new Rlehmond-Tampa line In a style which surpasses anything ever seen in these parts. Even the historic opening of the Queen and Crescent years ago is over shadowed by the elaborate and sumptuous manner with which the Seaboard Air- Line is celebrating the yraetic.il comple tion and consolidation of Its physical pr<.p< rties. Prior to the war the greatest event of this character was the cleebratlon which marked the opening of a continuous rail line from Savannah to Memphis. That was the occasion when Presidt -it Gordon, of the Central, carried tt large party of Georgians, including a company of Sa vannah firemen, to Memphis and pump- d Savannah river water Into the Mississip pi, in that manner verifying the Ironi cal prediction of a Georgia legislator who. opposing the granting of a charter to the Central, had declared that when cars propelled by stenm succeeded In climbing the Intervening mountains the water of the Savannah would ilowr Into the Mis sissippi. This celebration is a promise of vigo rous competition between the Seaboard Alr-T.ine, Southern and Atlantic Coast line for the Florida and West Indes busi ness. In building the two links between Richmond and Riugewa.v and Cheraw and Columbia, the Seaboard has obtained a line forty-three miles shorter than the ('oast lino between Washington and Jack sonville and seventy-two miles shorter than tho Southern’s present route be tween the two points. The officers and guests of the Seaboard left Richmond this morning in two lux urious special trains, made up of Pull man sleepers, diners and private cars. A rattling good brass band composed of Seaboard employees from tho Richmond shops, accompanied us and at every stop serenaded the people who assembled to welcome tho special party. At one place the band leader .stopped In the middle of a piece to pack a hot box and finish ing that, picked up his baton and went on with the music. At Henderson, N. (’., both tho chamber of commerce and the board of town commissioners present ed President Williams and Vice President St. John with resolutions congratulating them on the completion of the Tampa line, complimenting them on their abilitj ns financiers and railway managers, and thanking them for past courtesies and aid to the town. At t'amden a group of ladles appeared anil cheered for the Sea board. The dining ear feature, which is supplied by the Pullman company, lays the Waldorf-Astoria la the shade. Among those in the party was John Skelton Williams, president; J. W. Mtd dendorf, chairman of reorganization com mittee; E. .St. John, vice president; V. E.
