LAST BAY OF DEDICATION
Concluding Exercises of the Celebra
tion at Chlckamayga Purl.,
THE GRAND MILITARY PARADE
Interesting Exercises In ttte Tent-Governor
Morton Nominated fur the Presi
dency Aloha ma's Governor Speaks
of the Lost Cause.
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. Ochs,
Chattanooga's eloquent executive, was
Introduced to welcome the visitors to
the 'Mountain City.
He was followed by General William
B. Bate, and General Charles II. Oros
venor. Governor Morton was formally put In
nomination for the presidency by Sen
ator Kdmund O'Connor at a serenade
tendered him late last night by all the
New Yorkers present in Chattanooga
at the residence of F. 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. Potomac that
fought at Chattanooga brought to a
close the programme arranged by the
national committee In connection with
the dedication of Chlckamauga and
Chattanooga Military park. The meet
ing was held In the tent and was pre
sided over by General E. C. Walthall,
senator-elect from Mississippi, who
fought against Hooker in the clouds on
Lookout Mountain,
Colonel Lewis K. Stegman, of New
York, made an address and was fol
lowed by Colonel W. C. Gates, the one
armed governor of Alabama, better
known for his long congressional ca
reer. 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. We
fought with the same spirit of our revolu
tionary sires, who boutfht with their
precious blood the liberties We now enjoy.
We fought for the right of our states to
regulate and govern their own affairs.
We fought for the right as God gave us
to see the right. .' ' .'j
Conceding equnl patriotism and braverv
to those who bore aloft the standards of
the Union, the imperishable story of the
Confederates conspicuously appears In the
inequality of numbers, resources and ap
pliances of war. . (. .
A Patriotic Sentiment.
He closed as follows: . ' jl
The effect of the war upon the character
of the federal government was tersely
expressed by the supreme court of the
UiiitedH tates In a single sentence!
"An 'indestructible union of Indestruct

New Haven, Conn., Sept. 20. Palmer
Cox. tlm author of the famous "brown

tion on the old Green In the center of
the city, this afternoon.
Certulnly not less than 20,000 chil
dren took part In the unique gathering,
which was held at the point Indicated
by express permission of iMayor Hen
dricks. The mayor and several promi
nent gentlemen took part In the affair.

AIL MARKETS AFFECTED.
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.
Hanover, N. H., Sept. 20. Under
cover of a call for a Hpeelul meeting of
the athletic association In Old Chapel
yesterday the freshmen and sophomore
classes of Dartmouth college met for
the annual "salt rush." A motion by
a member of the sophomore class was
Immediately opposed by the freshmen,
when the exchange of handfuls of salt
commenced.
After half an hour's battle, the fresh
men provltfb the stronger, rushed the
pophomore class In a body from the
building, thus atoning for the weak
foot ball rush of lust week, and winning
the best and fiercest Bait rush Dart
mouth has ever seen.

Rlsca Cooker, pastor of the i.Metliodlst
Church of this H"'p, who has been on
trial here, charged with having ruined
'Mary (Mcintosh, was convicted this
arfternoon.
The ease created considerable Interest
here, as 'Mlsn Mcintosh was one of the
singers attached to the choir of the ac
cused clergyman's church and some
sensational developments were brought
out at the trial. The defendant's attor
neys took exception to the Judge's
charge and made application for a new
trial and Kev. Cocker was admitted to

. Havana, Sept. 20. The funeral of Ad
miral Delgado Pnrejo today was an Im
posing public demonstration, and
showed the appreciation in which he
was held as a brave otllcer. The pro
cession from the chapel of the Marine
hospital, in which the body of the ad
miral lay In state yesterday and last
night, contained all the prominent
military, naval and civil personages
In the city, members of the various con
sulates, representatives of all political
parties, and many prominent civilians.
At the head of the procession rode Gen
eral Arderius. acting captain general,
In the absence of Marshal, Marlines de
Campos. The escort consisted of u
battalion of marines, the survivors of
the crew of the wrecked cruiser Har
castegul, one battalion - of military
volunteers and the firemen and crews
of all the trans-Atluntlo steamers in
port. 'Military bunds were Interspersed
at Intervals In the procession. The
body was conveyed on n gun carrluge.
Upon the arrival of the cortege at
the cemetery, full military honors were
rendered. The body was placed In a
vault In the Colon cemetery. In which

niftiica and Arias and Admiral Unto.
While the procession was moving, and
during the ceremonies, salutes were
fired from the forts In the vicinity of
Havana. The streets through which
the procession passed on its way to the
cemetery were densely packed with
people, who manifested their sympathy
In every possible manner. General de
Campos telegraphed an expression of
his sorrow at the death of Admiral
Parejo, nnd ordered thut a wreath of
flowers be placed upon the catafalque
for him.
No more bodies of those who were lost
by the sinking of the crulseT have been
recovered, and It Is supposed that they
have been devoured by sharks, which
are very numerous at the entrance of
the harbor.
Admiral "Pelsado Parejo was born In

THE GAS THEORY EXPLODED
Durant's Only Favorable Point. 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.
The Pawn It, oVcr's Testimony. 1
' The other Important witness of the
day was Adolph (ippenhclm, the pawn
broker, who said that a few days after
the murder n man whom he recognized
us Uurant. came to his store and tried
to sell one of the rings taken from the
dead Kill's lingers and sent to her uunt
through the mall. 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.
