i Exceedingly Appreciative.
Atlania, Ga , Dec. 16.—The
piesident yesterday received a
number of di-patches from
prominent men in all parts of
the country commendisg in
hearty terms his utterance of
yesterday to the effect that the
time had come for the nation to
share ia the care of the graves
of the confederate soldiers.
Washington, Dec. It.—The
suggestion made in Atlanta that
the federal government, assume
the care of the confederate dead
has made a most profound sen
sation at the capital.
The sentiment ax pressed was
a surprise sven to those who had
confidently expected the chief
executive to say something
which would further promote
the era of good feeling which
has been ushered in by the war
with Spain.
His speech is looked upon as
the setting of a seal to the com
pact of fraternity between the
seclions. He is commended on
all sides for hie bravery in ut
tering a sentiment which many
have felt, but which none other
dared express.
Leading members of the house
and senate a'i assart that coa
gress will act upon his sugees
d m as if it came as a special
i rco'H meisdation.
Representative Hitt, chairman
of the c< mmittee on foreign af
fairs, in speaking of the speech,
said: “It was a favorable mo
ment to express such a senti
m nt, and the president had the
kindness and love ia his heart to
express. I feel that his words
have an echo in the congression
al hearts.”
Senator Faulkner, of West
Virginia, said that his words
were a patriotic expression of a
sentiment that required, even at
this time, courage of a high
order to make.
Senator Thurston spoke feel
ingly on the subject. He said :
“I believe the time has come
when we should take all the
brave dead as the nation’s dead.
The President’s words find sym
pathy in congress as they truly
express the sentiment of the
people of this entire nation.
Senator Elkin said: “With
the flag wrapped about the con
ftder.de as well as the federal
dead, the living may well weep
with hands clasped above the
graves of a united d.ad.”
A bill will be introduced au
thorizing the federal govern
ment to assume care of the
graves of all soldiers who fell ia
the late war. The bill will be
referred to the committee oh
military affairs, who will report,
it back, after which the appro
priations committee will au
thorize the expenditure of such
mcney as will be necessary to
keep the confederate graves iu
eider. The whole will be under
the national park act.
