Erection Urged.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Thu value of Commodore Maurys con-
,,,hu,,on, to science and the welfare OF
man entities him to q monument equal 10
any ever yet erected.
our government and people have ex-
hiblted a liberal and grateful apprecia-
ton OF patriotic and military merit, but
xeem tardy and Indifferent In recognizing
and honoring civic worth This should
not characterize the nineteenth century
which is so distinguished for It's discov-
eriers.
In bonorine the heroes Of peace we
honor ourselves and encourage EFFORT. IL
IL a duty we owe to the past and the
future.
RESPECTFULLY suggest that Maury
memorial association be organized TO de-
wise the ways and means Of erecting TO
his memory a monument commensurate
with his great moral worth and benefac-
ton TO mankind. The whole civilized
world will contribute individually and
through their various governments Tor
"his residence Is creation and his fame Is
eternity"
As he was a true and whoie-souled
yirginian, its location should be within
her bounds, and II seems to me the most
eminently 1T and suitable spot is the Rip
Raps. OF Old Point. The government
would doubtless grant the privilege and
lend a liberal helping-hand. IL We never
begin operation, nothing will be operated.
SO let us begin and secure TO the present
generation and to Virginia the merit and
ant
which is sure 70 come I'm the courst OF
time. POWHATAN.

evoked considerable discussion. When
the eleventh article had been discussed.
the remaining twelve articles Of the new

posed OF. Many Of these. however. were
not definitely disposed Of. but were laid
on the table for further consideration.
After tn" question Of new agreement
had ben DISPOSED of so far as its imme-
date adoS.aoe Is concerned. the question
OF the restoration of rates was again
taken up. A recess was finally taken for
an hour, at 2:30 o'clock, without a salts
factory conclusion having been reached.
Just before the adjournment of the con-
vention tonight, to meet at Iiarrowgate,
Tenn. on July nth, a resolution was
unanimously adopted agreeing to gene
raj restoration of rates on August LIST.
