CYouh- No. 1 of the lareeny-of a pocket book from Alonzo SCHLEY'S ORDERS Significance of a Prohibition Con- tained in'Them. WILL IITENSIY THE CONTROVERSY What the Friends of the Admiral Say About It. DEPARTMENT'S STATEMENT The naval sensation of the day is the de- velopment of the fact that Rear Admiral Schley, commanding the South Atlantic station, instead of receiving the usual orders issued to the commander-in-chief of a naval station. as was supposed, has been specifally instructed not to take or send any of the vessels of his small fleet to South Africa. In view of the long-pending controvsrsy over Admiral' Schley's conduct during the Spanish war, the action of the department in this instance is regarded as especially significant. South Africa is within the geographical limits of the South Atlantic station, and but for the explicit order to the contrary, Admiral Schley would have been perfectly free to go there or not as he saw fit. In fact it has been repeatedly stated at the Navy Department that Admiral Schley would be permitted to exercise his own discretion in the- matter. The officials gave tacit confirmation to this impression by saying that Admiral Schley's sailing orders were similar to the orders usually given to a flag officer about to pro- ceed to a foreign station. An official state- ment was issued Tuesday saying that Ad- miral Schley had been ordered to proceed in the Chicago to Rio de Janeiro, and then to Buenos Ayres, to inspect the repairs be- ing made to the gunboat Wilmington. As the statement was silent on the important point as to whether the admiral would be allowed to go to South Africa, it was natur- ally inferred that the orders themselves contained no reference to that subject arid that the admiral had been left free to act according to his own judgment. Text of the Orders. That such was not the case is shown qy the actual orders, the text of which is as follows: "November 20, 1899. "Sir: When the U. S. S. Chicago is in all respects ready for sea, proceed with that vessel by the shortest practicable route to the waters of your commanti, touching en route for coal at Port Castries, St. Lucia, or at Rio Janeiro, and at such other ports as may be necessary. The department de- sires you to be at Buenos Ayres with the least practicable delay, in order that you may inspect the vessels of your command. "It is also desired that special attention should he given to the repairs under way on the Wilmington. Submit to the depart- ment without delay a schedule of the ports you will visit en route and the probable dates of your arrivals and departures. Be- sides the Chicago, the Wilmington and Montgonery are attached to your com- mand. The Wilmington is now at Buenos Ayr*-s and the Montgomery is now at Mon- tevideo. "You will await further orders before any vessel of your command visits any African port. Very respectfully. "J. 7). LONG. Secretary. "To the Commander in Chief United States Naval Frce, South Atlantic Station." Will Intensify the Controversy. The action of the department will un- do,,ubtedly intensify the controversy be- tween the two factions of the navy. Ad- mirtl Schley and the other officers on the Chicago were extremely desirous of visit- ing the ports of southern Africa. That pros- pect had partly reconciled them to a two years' sojourn in the unattractive region of the South Atlantic. It is also understood that Admiral Schley had asked fcr the same privilege granted to his predecessor, Admiral Howison, that 19, that he be per- mitted to proceed to his station by way of the Mediterranean sea and the Suez canal. That would have enabled him to visit Dela- gea hay and Cape Town before visiting the ports of South America. Ills failure to se- cure thi; permission is well known. But it was not until the publication of the sailing orders this morning that it became known that the admiral was prohibited from viE- lt~ng the African ports on his statlin. What makes Admiral Schley's orders more distasteful to his friends is that he is denied the privileges usually accorded to the ccmmander of a naval station, and such as are now being freely exercised by Rear Admiral Watson, commanding the Asiatic station; Rear Admiral Farquhar, command- ing the North Atlantic station, and Rear Admiral Kautz. commanding the Pacific station. Those officers all exercise a com- plete control over the movements of their v-ssels within the territorial limits of their Btations. What Schley's Friends Say. According to the New York Herald, the friends of Admiral Schley say that there is no situation in South America demand- ing his presence with such dispatch, but that it might be different if he were under orders to proceed to South Africa, and they see In the promptness with which he is sent to the South Atlantic a desire to have him away from the United States or any point where he will he prominently in the eye of the country when Congress con- They further assert that the administra- tion fars to let the South Atlantic squad- run go to South Africa, knowing full well that the demonstration which the English would make could not help creating a fa- vorable impression at home. The Department'. Explanation. It Is said at the Navy Department that the orders to Rear Admiral Schley togo to South America have no connection whatever with the personality of that officer. Whoever commanded the South Atlantic squadron at this jur eture, it Is asserted, would receive similar instructions, for it is regarded as a matter of natiomnal policy to refrain from sending warships to either the Cape or to Delagoa. bay or Durban. 'rhe naval officials do not attempt to go further in explana- tion of the reasons for the adoption of this policy at this Uime, leaving that to the De- partment of State, which is said to have dictated it. The officials say it is felt to be unwise for the U nited States to initiate the send- ing of warships to South Africa now. Such action on our part might be followed by the naval powers of the continent, and French, Russian and German fleets would follow each other there to the probable embarrass- ment of the Uritish government and the encouragement of their enemies, the Boers. It is not to be learned that this attitude of our government has been assumed as the result of any representations from the Brit- ish government. C.OES TO RELIEF FUND. Chief of Fire Department Gets check for $50. Chief Parris of the fire department has re- ceived a letter from Mr. C. L. Neale, coun- sel for the International Navigation Com- pany, inclosing a check for 350. The letter, which explains itself, reads as follows: "I beg on behalf of the International Navigation Company to inclose you our check No. 804, for fifty dollars, upon Messrs. Lewis, Johnson & Company, bank- er., which please apply as you may think best, in grateful recognition of the valtu- able services rendered by your department in connction with the fire which occurred at our office building, 1306 F street north- west, on Sunday morning last." This amnount is In addition to the sum of S$100 that was given by Mr. C. C. Willard, owner of the building in which the fire oc- curred. The money goes to the firemen's re- lief fund.

They pointed outhowever, that no amount of production can bring prosperity to Cuba without a market for her crops.

"But it is especially fitting that the state of Illinois. which gave Grant to the Union army, should come here and set up a mon- ument to the heroism of Its soldiers upon the very ground of his field headquarters, and from which he observed the progress of the battle. It is also fitting that Illinois should place that other lofty shaft which looks down upon us from the crest reached by his victorious columns so largely com- posed of soldiers from that state. And It is especially fitting that Illinois, in the presence of its chief executive and his staff, accompanied by many of Its distinguished men, by this large reprisentation of its citi- zeiTs andl by these laurel-crowned heroes of the musket and the sword who glorified this region with the prowess of their arms a gene(ration ago, should gather on this anniversary to dedicate the monuments whi-ch their state has erected to commemo- rati the valor of her sons. 'A we stand uloh this spot. the spirit which actuateA Gen. Graint must of neces- sity move all hearts todaiy. What brave iran, whether he fought undr the flag for vwhlih we al! fight now. or un ]-r the battle flag of the -outh, will ever f, rget that the victor at Appomat.or sent soith ern Rol- diers h me with their horses. which. In his thoughtfulness of th" general welfare, he saw they wuld need for their spring ploughing? Or when will i;t:s from the minds of nn his military benelictien- heaven-irecttl, we must ulse- bst us have peace?' Over every corner of our land that p 1'esas come to abide forever. And In its blessed strenugth inspirel by the joint mnemories of ill their armies and the lead- ers and all our hattlfilds the nation has sent its flag half ar mni the earth and taken its plice as on of the controllng powers of the world. Grant Wns Not a Kicker. "What of the soldiers who won the bat- tIes which the-se monuments commemorate and the great captains who commanded them? Did Gen. Grant spendt his time about the commissary stores in the ca- pacity of a pure food commissioner? Did he send his staff ofihcer.s throughout the limits of his command to gather evidence to prove that the War Department did not know raore than a thing or two about war? Did he fill the press of the land with in- terviews criticising everything and every- body but himself? When he telegraphed G(en. Thomas from L uisville to hold Chat- tanooga, did Thomas reply. 'We are out of the proper brand of me.t, and it can't be done,' or lid he reply, 'We will hold the town till we starve?' Did Gen. Thomas and his general officers send a round robin to Washington concerning the condition of their stomachs, t'Vir temperature and their pulse, and promptly furnish a copy of it to the press? "And what of the soldiers who served urder Gen. Thomas? They went about the streets of Chattanooga and the horse and mule corralls, picking up kernels of scat- tered corn. They gathered about the re- fuse heaps of the commissary stores where nmoldy bread was thrown, whittled off the mold, and filled their haversacks with the crumbs; and when interrupted by the play of the siege guns, they would look up at the smoking summit of Lookout and ex- claim, 'if these rations htold, Mr. Johnny Rech. we'll get you yet.' "The monuments which IllInois here dedi- cates are' to such officers and me'n. Let the small, but the tout and terststent crowd of grumblers of the National Guard in the war with Spain. who filled the land with their baseless groanings. take notice of th" kindl of soldiers which an American state delights to honor. "And those who fought against thtese Iron men were soldiers of a like mold. When I'nion veterans gather, that fact should never be forgotten, andi ever be held as a matter of pride since, together, they tix the universal and undisputed statndard of American pluck, endlurance and heroismn on the field of battle.'' Brief informal addresses were made by others of the visitors, among them Senator Shelby M. tCullom of Illinois. The vIsitors will ep ind tomorrow at Chickamauga Park. SMOKING BY WOMEN. It Has Become a Common Practice in Arlutocratic London C'ate. From the New Orleans Times-Demoncrat. "While I was In London last month." saId a New Orleans broker who has .us't returned from a trip across the big pond, "I was greatly surprised at the number of women I saw smoking int public. Of course, one can always see that sort of thing In the bohemian resorts and the cafes patronized chiefly by folks from the continent, but it was sofnething of a shock to- bump into it at such establishments as the Sav'oy and the Hotel Cecil. In both places, and three or four ethers equally aristocratic, I saw soctety wome-n puffing cigarettes as coolly as chapples at a roof garden. The spe- tacle is so common that It has ceased to attract any attention, and It was tolerably evident that the ladles who were indulging did so because they liked it, and not merely to be eccentric. "I dropped into the Cafe Royal one even- ing with a London frientd, and we were shown to seats In the large public dining room, not far, from what was evidently a theater party of eIght or nine people. They were Just concluding a late supper, and one of the iadies, who was the picture of ele- gant refinernent and by no means in her first youth, produced a jeweled cigarette case and passed it around. In a moment everybody was smoking. The lady was the American wife of a somewhat noted Lon- don clubman, ando"was formerly a con- spicuous figure in Philadelphia society. "I mention the incident -merely to illus- trate the prevalence of the habit, which reminds me, by the way, that the London of today is very different from the London of eight or ten years ago. There is. every- where a marked accession of gayety and sprightliness; one .notices it ini the slhop displays, the theaters, the restaurants, and the aspect of the crowds at night, and the city in -general has -much-mote the air and manef of' the great- espitals of- the conti-. pent. The chaige Is particularly notice-. able td -an ifreuerit,-isitoi 'like mnyself." .Thiwty Day. For mnaking threats against his wife, Mary R, Cole, Samuel Cole of Blaguden'g al- .ley was today held in 350 bond. In detaaslt he was committed for thirty dags by gudge AT THE WHtTE HOUSE Beminaty Git Bmfstd by the President TM hNong. pretty Raestie Mansteow teene- Flowver to So Seat for the Hobort Obeqates. President McKinley this morning received four or five statesmen and a party of Ten- nessee school girls, who have come to Washington on their annual visit. The young ladles are from the Centenary Meth- #idist School at Cleveland. Tenn., and the President found pleasure in their visit. Ie gave each a flower, but one young lady was not satisfied with the one given her, and proceeded to make herself historical with her schoolmates by taking from the Presi- dent's coat the beautiful flower he had fastened on the lapel and putting tho one given her in its place. The exchange was made so gracefully that the President looked on with pleasure. making no objec- tion, and apparently admiring the dexterity of the feat. The President always wears a flower on the lapel of his coat, and on his desk is always a basket of the rarest and most beautiful flowers. Flowers for the Funeral. It is understood that several magnificent floral wreaths will be sent from the White House to Paterson. N. J., on the occasion, of the funeral of Vice President Hobart. Senator Elkins and Representatives Cush- man of Washington. Gillette of Massachu- setts. Burke of South Dakota and Pearre of Maryland were among those in official life who conferred with the President. The President today appointed the fol- lowing assistant surgeons in the U-11ted States marine hospital service: Robert L. Wilson. Clarence W. Wille, Elmer R. Ed- son. John W. Amesse. The President has also made the follow- ing promotions in the navy: Commander Robert E. Impey, to be a captain: L;eu- tenant Commander Newton E. Mason. to be a commander. Cannot Go to Nashville. The President has about reached the con- clusion that it will be impossdble to visit Nashville on the 28th instant to join in the welcome to the 1st Tennessee Regiment, which is expected to reach home from Ma- nila that day. He has notified the com- mittee having the matter in charge of the improbability of his coming. Mrs. McKinley Will Not Go. Unless present intentions are altered. neither Mrs. McKinley nor the ladles of the cabinet and the Supreme Court will attend the funeral of the Vice President. While they are anxious to show all respect to the memory of the distinguished dead. it Is felt that the long journey to and from Paterson would prove too trying. espcial- ly for Mrs. McKinley, and the declsiom has been reached to confine the party to gentle- nen. Secretary Long's Annal Report. Secretary Long was at the White House this afternoon. The Secretary will sub- mit his annual report to the Presim.n: in a few days, and the President will then wr* that portion of his message touching upon naval affairs. BEARSKINS IN BRIT1I6H ARMY. Big Fur flats of the Coldstrenn. Grenadiers nnd Scots Guards. From.,1 The lwl0n Tileraph. F-r more than a;4 years "a tall hat or fur" has lben a cn .1cu1us arl-. ..f haiadgear in the 13rlt isi arm, and ! wa- with something -if a shck that pple r al in the p:ers the oth-r dA v thai ae-m- mittee was going to sit t < nil rth growing s,;treIty of the hear km- frim which are made the inlosing full-dre- har of the foot guards. War -ir;4e rnmit t-t on clothing are dreadfui things. but ti.-- that sit on hats are ututt-,rabie. Every- body remembers with ho.rror the allg,-d helmet which such a ectnmitt-e 1,rood a few years ago. It was to be the uni r.4.l head covering of the British arni., and must be serviceable and us-ful. Th- tom- mittee decided, as a first princi;le. that at article possessing these two qualitie- m-t h). ugly. lroceeding frm tihis pr-i--. the members of the conmitti. ga. full expression to their ideis of utility. and promuced a hie iml c --vri like of which was never b,fore s-en on earth, and, it is to be hoped nev-r will he again. There are me-mbcrs of the- head- quarters staff who to this day have not quite got over the sight of the experim.-n- tal helmet devised by the committe-. Fmr- tunately, only one was made. or inte ad of only having to lament the ,,oareity ,t r eruits the nation would have fiiulti it-sif without any army whatever. No r-gular soldier or self-respecting militiaman-a volunteer will wear anything-would have put it on, and its adoption into the serviie would have left no service to wear it. This much is necessary to eplain th- alarm felt the other day wh-n it was an nounced that a war ofti-e h.-lddr-e' com- mittee was about to tamper with Th- guardsman's bearskin. Fortunat-ly tn committee has only limited piwers. 1 nly function this time is, so to speak., to haggle with tradesmen. The plain fact is that bearskins are growmg scarce. and the cost of providing the guards with the r magnificent "tall hat of fur- is increa-in. yearly in a remarkable mannter. Onl in-- kind of fur is used for this purp. it is that pirodiuedt by the Anmeriman bl ek bear, and as l'rsus Ame-rimantus, despite the extraordinary cordiality subsisting bm-w~e the two Itreat branches of thle Anglo dax\n race, refuses to produce wel-furremi ln-egu- me-nt in suffi-lent quantities to emrte heads of ouor guardsmnent at a reaso~n-leI rate, the never-falling resource of a com- mittee has been called into impration. It costs on0 an averagi' L1 a h-ad pe-r an- num to maintain the imposing apipearance imparted to the busby. The great caps coats the government about £A each. Those worn by the Cioldstreams are a little I--s. but those for the Grenadiers and Scots Guards cost mo-re than that sum. Ac- cording to the regulations, a busby must last for eight years. but there are- several reasons why the regulatiotn "life" of a busby, like the regulation life of a whole lot of other equipment, falls considerably short of the war offle-span. One of the principal reasons is that the cap Is only a home service equipment. When a guards battalion is ordered ott foreign service them big busbies-stirring battle pictures to the~ contrary notwithestanding-are returtwd to store at the Pimlico clothing factory. They are not kept there awaiting the return of their former owners, but are reissued to iewly joined recruits or to battalions re- turning home, so that men get what is called "part worn equipment." More than 400 machinists and helpers employed in the locomotive works of the New York Central railroad at Depew, quit work yesterday. Baltianore Markets.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Spectal ispathe to Tbe Evening Star. NIFW YORK, November 2L.-Higher Ton- don prcees and onlne buying for that centAr. probably 20,000 shares In all, had a bene- ficial Influence on early prices thin morn- ing. Foreign exchange yldead another ha!f point on foreign purchasee (of 14Ii ses- curitles. This Incident helped the market and for a time comrnisslon houses were more active. Toward the end of the first hour the demand slackened and traders realized on prvious purchases. The decision relative to the closing of the exchatigd on Saturday on account of Vice President Hobarta funeral revived titer.st in the money rate over that period. An tomorrow's contracts go over until Mon- day. traders were inclined to even up con- ttacts. fearing a further Hlurry in money rates. The bank statement gives every indica- lion of being favorable. and sume larg- .locks of bonds are said to be on the eve of delivery under the terms of the treasury circula,r. The double holiday reulted in some mio- gitings as to what might develop in the Transvaal over the clwe period, hut the confident buying by I,-,lidon was ubse- quentlv accepted as an indication that ine authorities were satisfied with the pros- pect. The act.mn of the local gas stock! wa.i perhaps the most signlliant if the lay's developments. The New Amnt-rdam 4'oim- iany announced its intention of raising its rate to the legal limit. This announcenent was taken as an in- dication of approaching harm.ny among the several companies. While the Gas war and its attendant evils are purely local matters, the daily evidence, of the ruinnus policy has had a perceptible influence on the ontire market. Today's tra-ling in the Amsterdam Company made the curb mar- k-t unusitally interesting, th,,usands of shares of stocks changing hands aruat 1 :12, an avance of 2 per cent over yestet- dav's closing bid.

SCHLEY'S ORDERSSignificance of a Prohibition Con-

tained in'Them.

WILL IITENSIY THE CONTROVERSY

What the Friends of the Admiral

Say About It.

DEPARTMENT'S STATEMENT

The naval sensation of the day is the de-velopment of the fact that Rear AdmiralSchley, commanding the South Atlanticstation, instead of receiving the usualorders issued to the commander-in-chief ofa naval station. as was supposed, has beenspecifally instructed not to take or sendany of the vessels of his small fleet toSouth Africa. In view of the long-pendingcontrovsrsy over Admiral' Schley's conductduring the Spanish war, the action of thedepartment in this instance is regarded as

especially significant. South Africa iswithin the geographical limits of the SouthAtlantic station, and but for the explicitorder to the contrary, Admiral Schleywould have been perfectly free to go thereor not as he saw fit. In fact it has beenrepeatedly stated at the Navy Departmentthat Admiral Schley would be permitted toexercise his own discretion in the- matter.The officials gave tacit confirmation to thisimpression by saying that Admiral Schley'ssailing orders were similar to the ordersusually given to a flag officer about to pro-ceed to a foreign station. An official state-ment was issued Tuesday saying that Ad-miral Schley had been ordered to proceedin the Chicago to Rio de Janeiro, and thento Buenos Ayres, to inspect the repairs be-ing made to the gunboat Wilmington. Asthe statement was silent on the importantpoint as to whether the admiral would beallowed to go to South Africa, it was natur-ally inferred that the orders themselvescontained no reference to that subject aridthat the admiral had been left free to actaccording to his own judgment.

Text of the Orders.That such was not the case is shown qy

the actual orders, the text of which is as

follows:"November 20, 1899.

"Sir: When the U. S. S. Chicago is in allrespects ready for sea, proceed with thatvessel by the shortest practicable route tothe waters of your commanti, touching enroute for coal at Port Castries, St. Lucia,or at Rio Janeiro, and at such other portsas may be necessary. The department de-sires you to be at Buenos Ayres with theleast practicable delay, in order that youmay inspect the vessels of your command."It is also desired that special attention

should he given to the repairs under wayon the Wilmington. Submit to the depart-ment without delay a schedule of the portsyou will visit en route and the probabledates of your arrivals and departures. Be-sides the Chicago, the Wilmington andMontgonery are attached to your com-mand. The Wilmington is now at BuenosAyr*-s and the Montgomery is now at Mon-tevideo."You will await further orders before

any vessel of your command visits anyAfrican port. Very respectfully.

"J. 7). LONG. Secretary."To the Commander in Chief United States

Naval Frce, South Atlantic Station."Will Intensify the Controversy.

The action of the department will un-

do,,ubtedly intensify the controversy be-tween the two factions of the navy. Ad-mirtl Schley and the other officers on theChicago were extremely desirous of visit-ing the ports of southern Africa. That pros-pect had partly reconciled them to a twoyears' sojourn in the unattractive region ofthe South Atlantic. It is also understoodthat Admiral Schley had asked fcr thesame privilege granted to his predecessor,Admiral Howison, that 19, that he be per-mitted to proceed to his station by way ofthe Mediterranean sea and the Suez canal.That would have enabled him to visit Dela-gea hay and Cape Town before visiting theports of South America. Ills failure to se-cure thi; permission is well known. But itwas not until the publication of the sailingorders this morning that it became knownthat the admiral was prohibited from viE-lt~ng the African ports on his statlin.What makes Admiral Schley's orders

more distasteful to his friends is that he isdenied the privileges usually accorded to theccmmander of a naval station, and suchas are now being freely exercised by RearAdmiral Watson, commanding the Asiaticstation; Rear Admiral Farquhar, command-ing the North Atlantic station, and RearAdmiral Kautz. commanding the Pacificstation. Those officers all exercise a com-plete control over the movements of theirv-ssels within the territorial limits of theirBtations.

What Schley's Friends Say.According to the New York Herald, the

friends of Admiral Schley say that thereis no situation in South America demand-ing his presence with such dispatch, butthat it might be different if he were underorders to proceed to South Africa, and theysee In the promptness with which he issent to the South Atlantic a desire to havehim away from the United States or anypoint where he will he prominently in theeye of the country when Congress con-

They further assert that the administra-tion fars to let the South Atlantic squad-run go to South Africa, knowing full wellthat the demonstration which the Englishwould make could not help creating a fa-vorable impression at home.

The Department'. Explanation.It Is said at the Navy Department that the

orders to Rear Admiral Schley togo to SouthAmerica have no connection whatever withthe personality of that officer. Whoevercommanded the South Atlantic squadron atthis jur eture, it Is asserted, would receivesimilar instructions, for it is regarded as amatter of natiomnal policy to refrain fromsending warships to either the Cape or toDelagoa. bay or Durban. 'rhe naval officialsdo not attempt to go further in explana-tion of the reasons for the adoption of thispolicy at this Uime, leaving that to the De-partment of State, which is said to havedictated it.The officials say it is felt to be unwise

for the U nited States to initiate the send-ing of warships to South Africa now. Suchaction on our part might be followed by thenaval powers of the continent, and French,Russian and German fleets would followeach other there to the probable embarrass-ment of the Uritish government and theencouragement of their enemies, the Boers.It is not to be learned that this attitudeof our government has been assumed as theresult of any representations from the Brit-ish government.

C.OES TO RELIEF FUND.Chief of Fire Department Gets

check for $50.Chief Parris of the fire department has re-

ceived a letter from Mr. C. L. Neale, coun-sel for the International Navigation Com-pany, inclosing a check for 350. The letter,which explains itself, reads as follows:"I beg on behalf of the International

Navigation Company to inclose you ourcheck No. 804, for fifty dollars, uponMessrs. Lewis, Johnson & Company, bank-er., which please apply as you may thinkbest, in grateful recognition of the valtu-able services rendered by your departmentin connction with the fire which occurredat our office building, 1306 F street north-west, on Sunday morning last."This amnount is In addition to the sum of

S$100 that was given by Mr. C. C. Willard,owner of the building in which the fire oc-curred. The money goes to the firemen's re-lief fund.

.GOV. TANNER ALSO SPEAKS

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., November 23.-Th.. exercises of dedicating the 1IT monu-ments and markers of the state of Illinoison the battlefields surrounding the city wereheld today at Orchard Knob, the site ofone of the principal memoial shafts andfamous dnring the civil war as the head-quarters of Gen. Grant. The day wasclear and warm. Among the ilsttors wereSenator Cullom, Gov. Tanner and staff, '4.Clay Evans, eommnissioner of pensions; Gen.H. V. Boynton, representing the Secretaryof War, and a large- delegation from theconfederate -amp of this city. Maj. Chas.A. Connelly *delivered the speech present-ing the monuments to the governor of I111-nois, on behalf of the Illinois commission-ers.Gov. John R. Tanner of Illinois received

the monuments, and In turn presented themto the government.Gen. Henry V. Boynton, president of the

Chickamauga Park commission. receivedthe monuinents in behalf of the Secretaryof War.

Gen. Boynton's Remarks.Gen. Boynton said:"The citizens of any state, or of any na-

tion, might well be proud to stand on thishistoric spot, with the right to stand hereas the military associates of General Grant,participants with him, each in his appoint-ed rank, in that miracle of military history,the storming of Missionary Ridge. First,toward this point, and then from this pointhe directed that series of memorable bat-ties which have given Chattanooga a world-wide fame."But it is especially fitting that the state

of Illinois. which gave Grant to the Unionarmy, should come here and set up a mon-ument to the heroism of Its soldiers uponthe very ground of his field headquarters,and from which he observed the progressof the battle. It is also fitting that Illinoisshould place that other lofty shaft whichlooks down upon us from the crest reachedby his victorious columns so largely com-posed of soldiers from that state. And Itis especially fitting that Illinois, in thepresence of its chief executive and his staff,accompanied by many of Its distinguishedmen, by this large reprisentation of its citi-zeiTs andl by these laurel-crowned heroes ofthe musket and the sword who glorifiedthis region with the prowess of their armsa gene(ration ago, should gather on thisanniversary to dedicate the monumentswhi-ch their state has erected to commemo-rati the valor of her sons.'A we stand uloh this spot. the spirit

which actuateA Gen. Graint must of neces-sity move all hearts todaiy. What braveiran, whether he fought undr the flag forvwhlih we al! fight now. or un ]-r the battleflag of the -outh, will ever f, rget that thevictor at Appomat.or sent soithern Rol-diers h me with their horses. which. In histhoughtfulness of th" general welfare, hesaw they wuld need for their springploughing? Or when will i;t:s from theminds of nn his military benelictien-heaven-irecttl, we must ulse- bst ushave peace?' Over every corner of our landthat p 1'esas come to abide forever. AndIn its blessed strenugth inspirel by the jointmnemories of ill their armies and the lead-ers and all our hattlfilds the nation hassent its flag half ar mni the earth andtaken its plice as on of the controllngpowers of the world.

Grant Wns Not a Kicker."What of the soldiers who won the bat-

tIes which the-se monuments commemorateand the great captains who commandedthem? Did Gen. Grant spendt his timeabout the commissary stores in the ca-

pacity of a pure food commissioner? Didhe send his staff ofihcer.s throughout thelimits of his command to gather evidenceto prove that the War Department did notknow raore than a thing or two about war?Did he fill the press of the land with in-terviews criticising everything and every-body but himself? When he telegraphedG(en. Thomas from L uisville to hold Chat-tanooga, did Thomas reply. 'We are out ofthe proper brand of me.t, and it can't bedone,' or lid he reply, 'We will hold thetown till we starve?' Did Gen. Thomas andhis general officers send a round robin toWashington concerning the condition oftheir stomachs, t'Vir temperature and theirpulse, and promptly furnish a copy of it tothe press?"And what of the soldiers who served

urder Gen. Thomas? They went about thestreets of Chattanooga and the horse andmule corralls, picking up kernels of scat-tered corn. They gathered about the re-fuse heaps of the commissary stores wherenmoldy bread was thrown, whittled off themold, and filled their haversacks with thecrumbs; and when interrupted by the playof the siege guns, they would look up atthe smoking summit of Lookout and ex-claim, 'if these rations htold, Mr. JohnnyRech. we'll get you yet.'

"The monuments which IllInois here dedi-cates are' to such officers and me'n. Let thesmall, but the tout and terststent crowd ofgrumblers of the National Guard in thewar with Spain. who filled the land withtheir baseless groanings. take notice of th"kindl of soldiers which an American statedelights to honor."And those who fought against thtese

Iron men were soldiers of a like mold.When I'nion veterans gather, that factshould never be forgotten, andi ever be heldas a matter of pride since, together, theytix the universal and undisputed statndardof American pluck, endlurance and heroismnon the field of battle.''Brief informal addresses were made by

others of the visitors, among them SenatorShelby M. tCullom of Illinois.The vIsitors will ep ind tomorrow at

SMOKING BY WOMEN.

It Has Become a Common Practice inArlutocratic London C'ate.

From the New Orleans Times-Demoncrat."While I was In London last month." saId

a New Orleans broker who has .us't returnedfrom a trip across the big pond, "I wasgreatly surprised at the number of womenI saw smoking int public. Of course, onecan always see that sort of thing In thebohemian resorts and the cafes patronizedchiefly by folks from the continent, but itwas sofnething of a shock to- bump into itat such establishments as the Sav'oy andthe Hotel Cecil. In both places, and threeor four ethers equally aristocratic, I sawsoctety wome-n puffing cigarettes as coollyas chapples at a roof garden. The spe-tacle is so common that It has ceased toattract any attention, and It was tolerablyevident that the ladles who were indulgingdid so because they liked it, and not merelyto be eccentric."I dropped into the Cafe Royal one even-

ing with a London frientd, and we wereshown to seats In the large public diningroom, not far, from what was evidently atheater party of eIght or nine people. Theywere Just concluding a late supper, and oneof the iadies, who was the picture of ele-gant refinernent and by no means in herfirst youth, produced a jeweled cigarettecase and passed it around. In a momenteverybody was smoking. The lady was theAmerican wife of a somewhat noted Lon-don clubman, ando"was formerly a con-spicuous figure in Philadelphia society."I mention the incident -merely to illus-

trate the prevalence of the habit, whichreminds me, by the way, that the Londonof today is very different from the Londonof eight or ten years ago. There is. every-where a marked accession of gayety andsprightliness; one .notices it ini the slhopdisplays, the theaters, the restaurants, andthe aspect of the crowds at night, and thecity in -general has -much-mote the air andmanef of' the great- espitals of- the conti-.pent. The chaige Is particularly notice-.able td -an ifreuerit,-isitoi 'like mnyself."

Flowver to So Seat for the

Hobort Obeqates.

President McKinley this morning receivedfour or five statesmen and a party of Ten-nessee school girls, who have come toWashington on their annual visit. Theyoung ladles are from the Centenary Meth-#idist School at Cleveland. Tenn., and thePresident found pleasure in their visit. Iegave each a flower, but one young lady wasnot satisfied with the one given her, andproceeded to make herself historical withher schoolmates by taking from the Presi-dent's coat the beautiful flower he hadfastened on the lapel and putting tho onegiven her in its place. The exchange wasmade so gracefully that the Presidentlooked on with pleasure. making no objec-tion, and apparently admiring the dexterityof the feat. The President always wears aflower on the lapel of his coat, and on hisdesk is always a basket of the rarest andmost beautiful flowers.

Flowers for the Funeral.It is understood that several magnificent

floral wreaths will be sent from the WhiteHouse to Paterson. N. J., on the occasion,of the funeral of Vice President Hobart.Senator Elkins and Representatives Cush-

man of Washington. Gillette of Massachu-setts. Burke of South Dakota and Pearreof Maryland were among those in officiallife who conferred with the President.The President today appointed the fol-

lowing assistant surgeons in the U-11tedStates marine hospital service: Robert L.Wilson. Clarence W. Wille, Elmer R. Ed-son. John W. Amesse.The President has also made the follow-

ing promotions in the navy: CommanderRobert E. Impey, to be a captain: L;eu-tenant Commander Newton E. Mason. tobe a commander.

Cannot Go to Nashville.The President has about reached the con-

clusion that it will be impossdble to visitNashville on the 28th instant to join inthe welcome to the 1st Tennessee Regiment,which is expected to reach home from Ma-nila that day. He has notified the com-mittee having the matter in charge of theimprobability of his coming.

Mrs. McKinley Will Not Go.Unless present intentions are altered.

neither Mrs. McKinley nor the ladles ofthe cabinet and the Supreme Court willattend the funeral of the Vice President.While they are anxious to show all respectto the memory of the distinguished dead.it Is felt that the long journey to and fromPaterson would prove too trying. espcial-ly for Mrs. McKinley, and the declsiom hasbeen reached to confine the party to gentle-nen.

Secretary Long's Annal Report.Secretary Long was at the White House

this afternoon. The Secretary will sub-mit his annual report to the Presim.n: in a

few days, and the President will then wr*that portion of his message touching uponnaval affairs.

BEARSKINS IN BRIT1I6H ARMY.

Big Fur flats of the Coldstrenn.Grenadiers nnd Scots Guards.

From.,1 The lwl0n Tileraph.F-r more than a;4 years "a tall hat or

fur" has lben a cn .1cu1us arl-. ..fhaiadgear in the 13rlt isi arm, and ! wa-

with something -if a shck that pple r alin the p:ers the oth-r dA v thai ae-m-mittee was going to sit t < nil rthgrowing s,;treIty of the hear km- frimwhich are made the inlosing full-dre- harof the foot guards. War -ir;4e rnmit t-t

on clothing are dreadfui things. but ti.--that sit on hats are ututt-,rabie. Every-body remembers with ho.rror the allg,-dhelmet which such a ectnmitt-e1,rood a

few years ago. It was to be the uni r.4.lhead covering of the British arni., andmust be serviceable and us-ful. Th- tom-mittee decided, as a first princi;le. that atarticle possessing these two qualitie- m-th). ugly. lroceeding frm tihis pr-i--.the members of the conmitti. ga.full expression to their ideis ofutility. and promuced a hie iml c --vrilike of which was never b,fore s-en on

earth, and, it is to be hoped nev-r will heagain. There are me-mbcrs of the- head-quarters staff who to this day have not

quite got over the sight of the experim.-n-tal helmet devised by the committe-. Fmr-tunately, only one was made. or intead ofonly having to lament the ,,oareity ,t r

eruits the nation would have fiiulti it-sifwithout any army whatever. No r-gularsoldier or self-respecting militiaman-avolunteer will wear anything-would haveput it on, and its adoption into the serviiewould have left no service to wear it.This much is necessary to eplain th-

alarm felt the other day wh-n it was announced that a war ofti-e h.-lddr-e' com-mittee was about to tamper with Th-

guardsman's bearskin. Fortunat-ly tncommittee has only limited piwers. 1

nly function this time is, so to speak., tohaggle with tradesmen. The plain fact is

that bearskins are growmg scarce. and thecost of providing the guards with the rmagnificent "tall hat of fur- is increa-in.yearly in a remarkable mannter. Onl in--kind of fur is used for this purp. itis that pirodiuedt by the Anmeriman bl ekbear, and as l'rsus Ame-rimantus, despite theextraordinary cordiality subsisting bm-w~ethe two Itreat branches of thle Anglo dax\nrace, refuses to produce wel-furremi ln-egu-me-nt in suffi-lent quantities to emrteheads of ouor guardsmnent at a reaso~n-leIrate, the never-falling resource of a com-mittee has been called into impration.

It costs on0 an averagi' L1 a h-ad pe-r an-num to maintain the imposing apipearanceimparted to the busby. The great capscoats the government about £A each. Thoseworn by the Cioldstreams are a little I--s.but those for the Grenadiers and ScotsGuards cost mo-re than that sum. Ac-cording to the regulations, a busby mustlast for eight years. but there are- severalreasons why the regulatiotn "life" of abusby, like the regulation life of a wholelot of other equipment, falls considerablyshort of the war offle-span. One of theprincipal reasons is that the cap Is only ahome service equipment. When a guardsbattalion is ordered ott foreign service thembig busbies-stirring battle pictures to the~contrary notwithestanding-are returtwd tostore at the Pimlico clothing factory. Theyare not kept there awaiting the return oftheir former owners, but are reissued toiewly joined recruits or to battalions re-turning home, so that men get what iscalled "part worn equipment."

Foreign exchange yldead anotherha!f point on foreign purchasee (of14Ii ses-curitles. This Incident helped the marketand for a time comrnisslon houses weremore active. Toward the end of the firsthour the demand slackened and tradersrealized on prvious purchases.The decision relative to the closing of the

exchatigd on Saturday on account of VicePresident Hobarta funeral revived titer.stin the money rate over that period. Antomorrow's contracts go over until Mon-day. traders were inclined to even up con-ttacts. fearing a further Hlurry in moneyrates.The bank statement gives every indica-

lion of being favorable. and sume larg-.locks of bonds are said to be on the eveof delivery under the terms of the treasurycircula,r.The double holiday reulted in some mio-

gitings as to what might develop in theTransvaal over the clwe period, hut theconfident buying by I,-,lidon was ubse-quentlv accepted as an indication that ineauthorities were satisfied with the pros-pect.The act.mn of the local gas stock! wa.i

perhaps the most signlliant if the lay'sdevelopments. The New Amnt-rdam 4'oim-iany announced its intention of raising itsrate to the legal limit.This announcenent was taken as an in-dication of approaching harm.ny among

the several companies. While the Gas warand its attendant evils are purely localmatters, the daily evidence, of the ruinnuspolicy has had a perceptible influence onthe ontire market.
