CHICKAMAUGA.
A Move to Purchase the Old Battle Ground and
Make It a National
Park.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Sept. ia
preliminary meeting of the Chickamauga
association was held at p. m. to-day in
q mammoth tent erected for the occa-
sion. The big tent was gorgeously
decorated by ladies of the city, wives
and daughters of soldiers of both sides.
The tent was opened first 10 old soldiers
of the Army of the Cumberland and mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic
who were given front seats, there being
fully twenty-five hundred of them.
These. were followed by a long line of
ex-Confederate soldiers 1000 strong,
headed by the United States Seventh
regiment band from Atlanta. As the
boys in gray marched into the tent to the
enlivening strains of the Star-Spangled
Banner the immense throng of people
rose to their feet. A long cheer followed
for the old Confederate soldiers, which
was responded to with the "rebel
yell and a grand hurrah for the old
flag. There was general intermingling
of old soldiers, the Confederates being
sandwiched in among the old Federals.
This circumstance attracted general at
tention The meeting had been called
to organize a memorial association of
old Federal and Confederate soldiers
for the purpose of purchasing the
ground of the Chicamauga battle
field and converting 1T into
a national park dedicated to the memory
of the soldiers of both armies who en-
gagged each other on that bloody field.
Rev. J. w. Baehman, ex-Confederate
chaplin Of this city offered a fervent
prayer INVOKING the blessing of the
Almighty on the movement about to be
made to cement and bind the hearts of
the old soldiers together. Capt. g. F.
Shipp, commander of n. B. Forests
camp of ex-Confederate veterans of
this city nominated John Rosecrans as
chairman in a fitting speech, in which he
alluded to the general as the hero of
Chickamauga. Amid uprOaTous applause
the general was chosen, and in q few
words heartily iudorsIng the Chioka-
manga memorial monument he
called the meeting to order.
After some spirited music
Gen. B. V. Boynton of Washington,
d. c., was introduced as one of the
leading spirits in inauguTating he grand
movement. Gen. Boynton expressed
the belief that the next congress would
hear petition of old soldiers of both
sides and would rescue the old battle
field from the ownership of pri-
vate parties and dedicate it to
the perpetuation OF the memory of
the heroic bravery and foTtitude of the
American soldier. In the battle of Chick
amauga 3315 per cent. of both armies
was lost, over thirty-fv thousand men
being killed, missing and captured.
Gen. Boynton IS address was the key note
of the occasion, and the old soldiers stood
up and yelled for the Chickamauga ma
tional park.

where the medical men and clergymen
looked after them. The debris covers
the road in a solid mass some three hun
dred feet in length and fifteen to twen-
ty-five feet high. 1t is impossible to
say at present how many are dead and
wounded. Everyone is working heroic
ally and under difficulties, as the night
is intensely dark and the electric light

Cries of ''HeIpl Help!" are heard
from beneath the debris, but no eelp can
be given. Hery little progress is made
in recovering bodies owing TO
the stupendous mass of rock

What Japanese Laborers Earn.

The wages in Toxic, which is to Jap
an as New York is to the United States,
are about as follows IN American
money:
Carpenters get from 80 to As cents a
day. Cart men, who manage and help
the pullers and pushers of carts loaded
with heavy merchandise along the streets
of the city, get from 80 TO SO cents a
day, and the men undef them, who oct
as the dray horses Of Japan afd work
just as hard as our horses, get from 8 to
Q cents day. Wood-carvers are, very
fine workmen here. They receive from
80 to 90 cents day. Papcr-hangers
get from 80 to 40 cents and stone. cutters
receive from As to SO cents. Black.
smiths are paid from 23 to 80 cents a
day; mat-layers, Corresponding to our
carpet-layers, get 3S cents d Gay, and
painters do well if they receive from 19
to 26 CENTS day. The wages of gar
deners range from 10 to 38 cents, and
those Of ordinary day laborers from Is
cents to 80 cents. No European or
American country can compete with such
wages, and the laboreF here who works
at them, while he does not have the
comforts of the laborer of the United
States, is happy and really better of
than some of the laborers of Europe.
There is no herding together of many
families in one room on account of power
ty, and nearly every household rents its
own cottage or house.

LOSS OF 100000.

The Havoc Created by the Storm at
and Near Niagara Falls.
The foot and carriage suspension bridge
over Niagara river, blown down on the 10th,
was built in 1870. Its original cost was $780,
900, and fully half as much again has been
expended on it since in improving it, by the
substitution of iron for woodwork. The
bridge was considered one of the strongest
structures of its kind in the world. The gale
destroyed much other valuable property in
the neighborhood and the total loss will
reach 81, 900, OO0 The suspension bridge that
was destroyed was the carriage bridge be-
tween Niagara Falls village and the Clifton
house, and should not be COMPOUNDED with
the railroad suspension bridge, across which
trains are running as usual

GREAT BRITAIN'S DIGNITY.
Lord Salisbury on Sackville's Dis
miSSaI


missal
A blue book on the Sackville affair has just
been published in London. Interest in tbs
book centres in dispatch dated Oct. "a to
Mr.. Phelps, in which, observing that in the
Judgment of the government Lord Sackville's
conduct had ceased to be of Importance
President Cleveland having already sent him
his passports, Lord Salisbury controverts
the idea that the acceptance or retention of a
minister is a question to be determined solely
with or without the reasons assigned by the
government to which he is accredited. In
this matter, Lord Salisbury says, gen.
eral principles are Of more Importance than
the particular case under discussion. These
principles appear to the queens govern
ment to have been accurately laid down by
Lord Palmerston on the occasion of the
sudden dismissal of minister Bulwer from
the court of Madrid in 184S. A
quotation follows from Palmerston's COM
munication to Isturiz, to the effect that
international law entities the nation to
which demand for the withdrawal of its
minister has been addressed to decline to
comply with the demand even though grave
and weighty reasons have been assigned.
The Post, commenting on the subject, says:
Lord Salisbury acted with due regard for
national dignity. Lord Sackvile's indiscre-
ton does not condone for Bayards neglect of
decent international observance"
