AN OLD Battlefield.
A Great Day at Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania.
Numerous Regiments Dedicate
Monuments.
Accident on a Chicago Cable
Car Line.
AT Gettysburg.

GETTYSBURG, July 1.-The second day
eff the reunion opened clear and beautiful.
No cloud menaced the enjoyment of the
visitors and the terrible battle of twenty
five years ago was on the lips OF every
one. Trains with thousands of passen-
gers rolled into the town, and the great
crowd increased until the place was filed
fuller than at any time since the remark
able days of 1862.
At 10 o'clock the FIVE regiments of
Green's brigade, the 18th lO2nd, Goth,
18th and l49th New York, dedicated
their monuments on Culpo hill; and i'm
mediately afterwards a reunion of the
brigade was held. Maj. Gen. Henry j.
Slocum, who commanded the right of the
federal line during the battle, and Brig.
Gen. George s.. Green, the brigade com
mander. made addresses.
At the same hour Sickles' Excelsior
brigade, made up of the roth, list, 72nd,
73rd and 74th New York regiments. met
at the site of the brigade monument and
held dedicatory exercises. Owing to some
unexplanable trouble. the monument, the
position of which is near the peach or
chard, is not finished, and the foundation
is the only thing in place. Gen. Sickles
was to have unveiled the memorial, but
this was dispensed with. DR.. Buckley,
formerly chaplain of the list regiment,
made the prayer. DR.. Twitchell delivered
the Grafton, and DR.. Buckley read an orig
inal poem entitled, Excelsior" APP
propriate musical selections i]nterspersed
the exercises
At $50 o'clock the members Of the
Irish brigade, composed of the ODD, 69th
and S8th New York infantry, marched to
the Catholic church, where a requiem
mass for those who fell in battle was sung
by Fathers Suillet and Corby. 1t was the
latter who, Just before the brigade went
into battle on the afternoon of the second
day, blessed and absolved the kneeling
brigade on the battlefield in the presence
of Gen. Hancock and other parties and in
view of both armies. After mass to-day
the brigade proceeded to the
near the Buck of the Devils Den, d"
where exercises OF dedication were held.
Gen. Robert Nugent and Dennis f.
Burke made addresses and Mrs. Rice
Knox and other ladies led the singing.
This afternoon a business meeting of
the Society Of the Army of the Potomac
was held at 4:30. The regular reunion
exercises took place at the rostrum in
National cemetery,
At 3 o'clock p. m. the Society of the
Army of the Potomac held its annual
meeting and elected Gen. Joshua Cham
berlain president for the ensuing year.

The Tariff Debate.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Congressman
Dingley of Maine, who is a very close OBJ
server OF the tariff debate, thinks that the
committee of the whole will now pro-
coed quite rapidly with the bill, and is OF
the opinion that the debate may be con-
Guided in the house within three weeks.
He has no doubt that the bill will pass
the house. He does not think it certain
now that more than three Democrats will
vote against the bill, namely, Messrs.
Randall, Foran and Sowden, and as to Mr..
Sowden he is of the opinion that there
possibly may be some doubt. There are
some indications of an attempt to win
over Mr.. Sowden, and this may prove
successful.
Should the bill pass the house in three
weeks time, Mr.. Dingley is of the opin-
ion that a final adjournment of the session
would be possible about the 18th of Au-
gust, unless the senate should desire to
devote a great deal more time to the tar
if than he thinks it will be likely to do.
Other congressman don't think so cheer
fully as to the completion of the work as
Mr.. Dingley does, and are of the opinion
that congress will still be in session on the
LIST of September.
