"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,

Philadelphia. May 31.— During the cere
monies incident to the decoration ot the
graves of the union and confederate dead
in the National cemetery ground yester
day it developed that in certain grand
army circles, opposition has appeared to
the erection of a monument to the con
federate dead in that cemetery by the
Daughters of the Confederacy.

i a post command r of the Grand Army of
the Republic, in his oration under the aus
pices of- Ellis post No. n says:
“We have burn d all of our sectional
feeling. We foiaot all sectionalism at the
close of the war. Wil l- 1 have no ob
jection to our brothers in the south rais
ing monuments to their generals as they
have a right to ‘io. yet 1 raise my voice
in protest against tie ir erecting nny mon-
to any one w’i ♦ fought against the
flag in any national e«metery.”
The post had adopted resolutions pro
testing against the erection of a monu
ment and laid the matter before the
Grand Artnv of the Republic Association,
composed of posts in this city anti vicin
ity. which also adopted resolutions against
tlie proposed memorial.
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. Mrs. Halsey has sent a report on
the subject to Mrs. Norman V. Randolph,
of Richmond, who is the chairman for
the general work. This will be forward
ed to the reunion of confederate veterans
at Ixtuisville.

Sandusky. 0.. 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. Following tlie profuse
decoration ot the graves. Rev. E. A.
Hteiner. of this city, delivered the ora
tion of the day. dwelling upon the beauty
of forgiveness, j'rayer was offered at tho
conclusion of the address, during wnlcii
the concourse of people stood will! bowed
heads. The day was an ideal northern
summer day. in opening his address the
orator of the day said:
“Nature is jn perfect harmony with us
on tills occasion, when wo have gathered
to honor the memory ot the brave sol
diers, who once were our enemies, and
now sleep .11 tills consecrat’d spot. Over
them God has spread bls canopy . f blue.
Their sentinels arc these trees which have
become viie with their sacred dust. How
ers gay and migrant grow where once
were their prison w Hl*, the birds stag
undisturbi d > mgs pf love and peace and
the spring wind joins in tills noble min
strelsy. This is our day of atonement
and those who sleep here, who came from
their southern homes, are sleeping their
hist slumber, not In tlie soil of strangers,
but tbev are sleeping at home. Maj- the
ties that bind us to our southern brethren
never be br ken and miiv these flowers be
our pledge and our witness.”

SEABOARD ENTERTAINS.
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.
