Antietam, Gettysburg, Shiloh, Frank lin, Nashville, Atlanta, and the ever memorable fields of Virginia was the storm which cleared the political at mosphere of our country and made It fit to support the life of the free, en- frightened, patriotic and united people of today"
 Secretary Herbert said that the gath ering at Chickamauga, considering the antecedents and the present purposes of those who composed the audience, could be paralleled In no other country. The civil war had brought enduring peace between hostile sections and set tied firmly the foundations upon which rest to-day the greatest of governments. The verdict of our civil war had been accepted as absolutely final The sec retary showed that the struggle be- tween the north and south was to de- termined underlying principles of gov ernment that had not been settled. Both sides, he said each desperately in earn est, believed themselves to be in the right It was fought out honestly, squarely and bravely on both sides. He said: You who wore the blue in the days that tried mems souls are not truer to-day to the flag than are the men who fought in gray at Chicka- mauga and Missionary Ridge. This loyalty to the union of the confeder- ates who once fought so bitterly against it is the crowning glory of the heroes in blue to whom monuments are to be dedicated tomorrow"

BEATEN IN STRAIGHT HEATS
JoB PAT0HEN PROVED TO BE NC
 MATCH FeR JOHN K. GENTRY.

ahe Race Was a Most Beautiful One and
 the Winners Best Time Was Made in
 2:O5 1-4-Patchen Went or His Feet
 While the Other Horse Went On at a
 Rapid Clip.
 Milwaukee, Wis, Sept 1s.-Over 2O,- 900 people went to the State Fair park to-day to see the great race between Joe Patchen, John R. Gentry and Vera Capel The race was for a purse of $S,O00 and was won by John R. Gen. try in straight heats with apparent ease.
 The first heat was a neck and neck race. John R. Gentry drew the pole with Vera Capel second and Joe Patch- en on the outside. At the second att tempt they got off with Gentry slightly in the lead. The pace set by the two great pacers was too hot for Vera Ca- pei and after the quarter pole she was carried off her feet, dropping about flf- teen lengths behind. At the half Patchen and Gentry were neck and neck, flying down to the three-q quarters pole and then went down the stretch with Gentry ahead. The latter won by length in 2;O5A with Joe Patchen one quarter of second behind. Vera 'Capel finisfed about ten lengths be- hind Patchen.
 The second heat was slower, owing to the slowness of the first three-quarters. Vera Capel was left behind at the first quarter and the fast pacers had to fight 1t out alone. They ran neck and neck all the way round until they turned into the stretch. Gentry then pulled ahead slowly and beat his big opponent by scant length. The time for the heat was 2:05s4.
 In the third heat just after the start Joe Patchen left his feet and fell about sixteenth of a mile behind, leaving Gentry a clear field. Vera Capel was close up to him all the way up to the quarters pole when Gentry pulled ahead and finished the last quarter in 291a seconds. The time for the heat was 2:07.
 Time by quarters:
 First heat, 3OA, 101A, 1:34, 2:05A.
 Second heat: 31A, 1:6s, 1:35, 2:05A.
 Third heat: 32A, 1:o5, 1:371s, POT.

ATLANTA'S SHOW OPENED
THE MACHINERY HAS SET IN MO- TION BY PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

 He Pressed Button at His Summer Home
 at Gray Gables Late in the Afternoon and
 the Greatest Exhibition of the Southern
 states Was Formally Opened.
 Buzzard's Bay, Mass, Sept. 1s,-The vast machinery of the Atlanta exposi- ton was successfully set in motion to- day from the presidents summer home, Gray Gables.
 Early in the afternoon Superintend- ent Viles of the Boston office of the Western Union Telegraph company was at his temporary desk at Gray Ga hles and made frequent tests to Atlan- shape, MT. Viles was in direct com munication with Atlanta and received concerning the progress of the exercises there. At about o'clock the chairman of the committee of arrangements tel egraphed Private Secretary Thurber, who is here, that the president would not be called upon to perform his part until or 5:30 at the earliest. This caused some little disappointment, for it was understood that the button
 would be pressed on or about ? o'clock.
 The room is known as the presidents s gun room, leading out of the handsome reception room on the northeast corner of Gray Gables. On a little shelf close
 by the window is placed the enunciator. This is of black rubber, with small solid gold band around the edge with
 the following inscription engraved
 thereon:
 Marion Cleveland, September 1S,
 1885"
 The knob of the enunciator is white,
 with an engraved masonic emblem
 square and compass-in gold, an ex-
 ceedingly pretty affair. Private Secre-
 tary Thurber, during all the prelimi-
 naries, acted as master of ceremonies and as fast as the messages were re- ceived, took them to the president and frequently the president himself would ask how matters were proceed ing.
 After the president was notified that the pressing of the button would not take place until o'clock he partook of lunch with his family and later board ed the Esther for a sail He was back long before o'clock and received a message from Atlanta that his part in the program would not be reached be- | fore 5:45. Later it was reported to be six o'clock. While these repeated de- lays were rather tiresome the president took the matter calmly and was not apparently in the least disturbed. From | o'clock until the button was pressed | he remained beside the operator and every detail of the exercises were sent here and read aloud by Secretary Thur Der. It seems that all the delay was caused by the parade being two hours | late in starting, and the president was l informed that the last speaker would | be Mir. Spear, after whose address he would be required to press the button | The special wire was disconnected from | the telegraph instrument and for one minute the wire was left open and at | the end of the next twenty seconds MT | Cleveland pressed the button. This | was at 6:56. His thumb was on the | enuneiator hardly second and as soon 1 as Mir. Viles could connect the telegraph | key word was received from Atlanta that the machinery started splendidly

TRIAL OF FILlB LISTERS,
Senator Gray is One of Counsel for the Defenaa


 Defense.
 Wilmington, Del, Sept. 1S.-The trial of the filibusters was opened in the U. s. court here this morning. The read ing of the indictment was waived. District Attorney Vandergrift asked a postponement for a week in order to se- cure new evidence not yet available. Judge Vails refused the request, stating it would be manifestly unjust to de- tain the accused any longer before giv- ing opportunity for trial
 At 1120 Senator Gray took seat with counsel for the defendants There was a hum of surprise when the sena- tor appeared. MT Rubens, for the de- fence, entered a demurrer to several of the counts of the indictment. He said they were defective because they charged conspiracy against some country unknown to the grand jury. but with which the United States was at peace.
 District Attorney Vandergrift replied at length, holding that the United States was at peace with the whole world and that conspiracy against any foreign nation was unlawful. Senator Gray, for the defense. held that the accused were entitled to have a reasonable description of their alleg- ed offence in the indictment. The thirty counts not objected to specified that military expedition had been set on foot against the king of Spain. The senator spoke of the seven faulty counts al containing a nebulous charge which hung in the air without shape and without form. Judge Welles sus- tained the demurrer filed by MT. Ru- bens. A jury was then selected
 District Attorney Vandergrift ex- plained in detail the various counts in the indictment and why they had been drawn. He then addressed the jury and said the government would show the accused met in this city and then proceeded with arms and ammunition at midnight on a tug boat to the Dela- ware river with intent to take passage on a vessel for Cuba United States Marshal Lannon of Delaware was the first witness. He narrated the arrest of the men.
