Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 20. The proceedings of the third and last day uf the dedication of ChlckumauKU and Chattanooga military park. Judging from the crowd which thronged the streets, were the most attractive of the series. This was the cane, possibly, however, fur the reason that there was nothing going on at the. battle field, and every one's attention was centered upon the meetings In the city tent. Another fact was that the military demonstration by the regulars and state militia in camp here was an at traction that drew to the' city muny residents of the surrounding territory who had not previously been present during the dedicatory ceremonies. There was a slight relief from the op pressive, almost overwhelming heat of the past few days, whereby existence was rendered somewhat more comfort able to sweltering humanity. There was a military parade through the principal streets composed of regu lars and militia, with General J. S. Klillerton as grand marshal. On the reviewing stand were l.ieutenunt Gen eral Schofleld. and Vice President Stevenson, the reviewing officials, and a large body of the distinguished visit ors and prominent citizens. The pro cession disbanded shortly after pass ing the reviewing stand, and the bat tery proceeded to Orchard Knob, on the summit of which was fired the Union salute of forty-four guns at noon. At that hour began the exercises In the tent Intended to commemorate In con nection with the dedication the battle, of Chattanooga proper.. The Tent IKxerelses. Vice-President Stevenson 'presided. The proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. Samuel J. Nicholls. D. V.. of St. Louis. Hon. George W.

G. .Montague, with whom he dined. His policy as governor was approved by Senator Cantor, the Democratic leader in the senate. Speeches were also made by John B. Stanchfleld, of Klmita: Speaker Hamilton Fish and Archie Baxter, clerk of the New York assembly. In responding to these Governor Mor ton said: Gentlemen The great honor you confer on me' tonight by your visit Is deeply ap preciate, I assure you. - I did not come here to make any speeches, but from all I have seen here today, and all I have heard strikes me that a great lesson tn patriot Ism is taught by what was done on these fields and from the results that have been achieved by the men who have fought here. It Is too late to make an exunued address, or one that I feel should be made on such an occasion. I can only thank you for the compliment you pay in coming here, and I wish you sood night. This afternoon the railroads are crowded to their utmost capacity In handling the departing visitors. Kvenlnn Ivxereises. Tonight's meeting of the survivors of the Army of the Virginia and that por tion of the Army of the.

Governor Oates, addressing his remark to the "soldiers of the lost cause and successful defenders of the Union," made some exceedingly point ed comments upon the causes of the war. Among other passages were the following: Let the blasphemous mouths of the bloody xhlrt slnlekers be closed- and tint truth be told and our cause and the hero ism which sustained It for four Immortal years will Illuminate tie brightest chap ter of the true history of the great enn fl -t. The presence In our midst of the African race, for Which they are in no wise responsible, has ever been the Pan doras box of our American polities. "Hlav ery, It must be conceded, Is contrary to natural right, but U was. a lawful state Institution and was so recognised by the constitution of the United Htate. lining a state Institution, It was the right of the state n which It existed to continue or abolish It as such. It was not for slavery as such, for the majority of our men never owned a slave, that we took tip arms. A lanje majority of our soldier were poor tailoring men. They were hor rified at the idea of 4.OOO.00U emancipated slaves being turned loose In their midst, raised to the equality of eitixenship, In vested with the electoral franchise and brought into competition with them as free laborers, the pride of race soperlor ity and the Invasion of thetr right of lo cal or state government, offended nKke the dignity of those men and the slave owner; they stood united aud fought like devils, as every Union veteran will tes tify, and their flag floated triumphantly on nearly a hundred fields of battle.

Movements of fKiehunge and of Gold Have to a Certain Kxlcnt t'nsottlod Trade-1'neertulnty Hclgns All Around. New York. tvpt. 20. H. a. Dun & Co.. In their weekly Kevlew of Trade to inorrw, will xuy: .Movements of exchange and of gold have somewhat affected all the markets this week. Kxchange has fallen, tlioui;li not because commercial bills have greatly Increased, and exports of specie though diminished will reach about $12,400,000. It Is conlideiitly believed that the International syndicate will allow no financial disorder, and many are certain that an i.sue of bonds will come. Hut the root of difficulty is not removable by bunkers, namely, that merchandise exports disappoint gov ernment and the syndicate falling to meet the case of merchandise imported, and leaving a hcuvy balunce to be paid abroad. August Imports exceeded ex ports by $lii.2S2.T29, and net exports of gold were $l5.ir,7S2. A small cotton ctop, with large stocks held abroad, a slender demand for Atlantic wheat, with Iiussinn arriving In London In large quantitloet, and merchandise ex ports and Imports at New York 30 per cent, larger than last year In Septem ber, thus far scarcely promise speedy change. The volume of domestic trade measured by exchanges, 20 per cent, greater than last year, but 8 per cent, less than in lsa2, is not quite as near the record of full prosnerltv tnr Sep temperlty as for August or July. In spite of gold ex-ports, wheat ad vanced for some days in all nearly 2 cents. Corn rose and fell ln sympathy with Wheat with as little reason. Good reports of foreign crops, weakness of flour In Minnesota, and large exports of oorn from this country, all work against a rise in wheat, though scarc ity of contract grades may help a spec ulative advance. The surprising Increase In production and advance in prices of Iron seem to be bringing a natural check, as prices have gone so high as to cause some purchases from Europe, both of pig and finished products, and have also caused a distinct shrinkage In home demand. The cotton mills, which laid in stocks of cotton below 6 cents, are enriched by the advance In material, and en abled to make frequent advances In goods, which are sustained. The pres ent demand Is dull, but there are no reports of stoppage, and the threat ened strike at ' Fall Itlver does not come. The woolen manufacturer is do ing well In dress goods and hosiery, but the demand for men's woollens Is much restricted, and a few mills have closed. Foreign prices for clay worsted have advanced and mohair goods also, the price of the material having risen 15 per cent, at Bradford In a few months. Failures this week have been 213 In the United States against 210 lust year, and 32 In Canada against 48 last year. DARTMOUTH'S SALT RUSH. The fiercest on Kccord and Was Won by the l'rcshmcn.

Is Brushed Aside. FKAXK SADEMAX'S TESTIMONY Ho Explains the Smell of Gas in tho Church Which Attracted Organist King's Attention-Pawn Bro kcrOppcnheiin's Story. San Francisco, Sept. 20. The only point at all favorable to Durunt brought out thus far In the trial was brushed aside by the prosecution today. This was the statement of Organist George It. King that he detected the dor of gas upon entering the church on th" day of lllunche Iimont's murder. This fact gave coloring to the state ment of Imrnnt that there wua a leak in the uas pipes above this ceiling which he claimed to be fixing. Janitor Krank A. Suileinan, who was placed on the ntund by the prosecution today, explained that the gus, the odor of which attracted King's atten tion, came from a loose cock on the chandelier In tho vestibule at the en trance to the church. Suileinan was otherwise an Important witness, as he said he had met Durnnt nt the ferry on the day of the ..Minnie Williams murder nnd that iDurunt had then told him thnt he was waiting to Intercept Blanche I.amont. as he had hoard that she was that afternoon going to cross tho bay. This witness also testified that the mechanism connected with the lighting apparatus wiis not In need of repair on the day of the murder.

This ring was picked nut by the witness from among the three taken from Miss I.amont by the murderer. Its peculiarity Is what Oppcnhelm said attracted his atten tion. The Incident happened within a few days or his birthday, and that, he said, lixed the time In his mind. tin cross-examination Opnenholm was shown another ring very similar to the one taken from Miss Lamont, nnd was asked if he had ever had it presented to him for sal. He said he had not. The defense also placed two other rings In evidence, and by these. It is said, will try to discredit the testi mony of the pawnbroker by introducing witnesses who tried to sell him a ring about the same time, f ippenheim Is the last of the prosecution's main wit nesses. The case, as already represented, will be fortified with testimony to show that Durant did not attend the lecture In college on the afternoon of the murder nnd that of a witness who says he saw a man he Identified as 'Durant coming out of the pawnshop one morning about the time Durant Is supposed to have tried to dispose of the ring, but all the main points have been made. The defense is still eontlden't and re ticent, and. though many rumors as to what it will try to prove havt been set nllnat, nothing authoritative has yet been learned. It Is notthought that the counsel for the defvnse will even outline Its case In the' opening state, ment, which may be, made next week. BLANK CHECKS. LANTERN.
