WASHINGTON, April lO.-The heroic bronze equestrian statue of Major Gener al John A. lyognn, w hich rests on an im posing bron ae pedestal in Iowa circle, was unveiled yesterday in the presence of the president, the cabinet, the widow and relatives of the gallant soldier, many of his comrades in arms and n vast multi tude of people. The sculptor, Franklin 8immons, who was knighted by King Humbert of Italy as n tribute to the ar tistic character of the Mork, also was present. Master Geia-ge Tucker, a grand son of the honored warrior, pulled the unveiling cord at 2:45 o'clock. The folds of the large American flag fell away, nnd the dashing figure of "Blnck Jack" Logan seated on his charger stood reveal ed amid a roar of cheering that echoed down the intersecting streets und ave nues. The president and members of the cab inet had been escorted to the statue by a military parade under command of Colo nel Francis L. Gueulher of tho Fourth United States artillery. The procession Included detachments from the artillery And infantry arms of the regular army, a battalioiof marines and a company of seamen from the navy yard, a provision al regiment of the District of Columbia tuilitin, members of the Societies of Vie Army of the Tennessee and Army of the Cumberland and members, of the local veteran associations.

President McKinley received an ova tion as he was introduced, und it was some time before he could begin his re marks. He spoke in part as follows: "My fellow citizens, it is a good token when patriots are honiired and patriotism exalted. Monuments which express the nation's gratitude for great deeds inspire great deeds. The situe unveiled today proclaims our country's appreciation of one of her heroic sons whose name is dear to the American people, the ideal volunteer soldier of two wurs, the emi nent senator and commoner, General John A. Logan. "Logan's career was unique. His dis tinction does not rest upon bis military achievements alone. His services in the legislature of his own state, iu the na tional house of representatives and in the senate of the United States would hnve given hiiu an equally conspicuous place in the annals of the country. He was great iu the forum nnd in the field. "As a popular orator his voice has been heard iu every state and territory ' of the Union, always for his country and for the flag he so much loved. He wns ' among the first commander' of the Grand Army of the Republic, and to him we are indebted for that beautiful service which on the 30th of May each year brings to the graves of the soldier dead, among whom he now rests in everlast ing comradeship, the offerings of an af fectionnte people nnd the undying grati tude of a nation. "The highest fitlogy ever paid him was by his father. The latter iu his will di vided his property between his widow and children equally, except and I quote from the will 'John Alexander, whose marked abilities are such thut be can pro Tide for himself and aid bis mother, if necessary. This provision is not made from want of affection, but because of unbounded confidence in his future sue cmh.' What n remarkahle tribute from father to son! That expression of faith was enough to quicken the young man's . noblest aspirations and call out the best thnt was in him. Beloved of father, wife and children, beloved of bis comrades in war and in peace and beloved of his country, his whole life realized his fa ther's prophecy and Its words would adorn any monument to his fame." The president several times wns inter rupted by applause, and there wns a great outburst of cheering when he con cluded. The oration was delivered by Senator Depew of New York.
