The members of the relief party were de.
lighted with their trip to the frozen North.
The Kite arrived at Falcon Har5or in lati-
tude 7448 on August 4. The steamer was
as far north on July 81, but was forced south
by heavy ice foes. Peary arrived at head
quarters about two weeks before the Kite
reached there.
In the expedition over the Tcecap, which
left Anniversary Lodge April l. Peary, Lee
and Hensen took part, having five sledges
and forty-nine dogs, besides supporting
party of natives, during the first stages OF
the journey. When they arrived at q point
1876 miles from headquarters, where he had
cached provisions on the failure OF the ex-
pedition in 1894, Peary could not find the
cache, which had evidently been showed
over and buried.
Owing to the smallness Of the party and
the fatal defect of scarcity Of food, Peary
could not make his way northward.
For more than two weeks all three lived
on one meal day. They ate their last
ounce Of food twenty miles from camp, and
passed twenty-six hours without food before
they succeeded in reaching home They got
back July rs, just week before they heard
news of the relief expedition.

Chickamauga Veterans Welcomed in the
Mountain City.
The proceedings of the third and last day
OF the dedication OF Chickamauga and
Chattanooga National Military Park, judg-
ing from the crowd which thronged the
streets, were the most attractive Of the
series. 1t was marked by great civic and
military parade In Chattanooga and by
speeches from representative men.
From the corner Of Market and Ninth
streets the parade moved at II O'Clock to
Georgia avenue, thence to McCallie avenue,
and out that broad residential street to the
reviewing stand on the Grant University
campus, and from that point back to
Georgia avenue by way Of Vine street.
Along this line Of march, two
miles. the sidewalks were blocked
and the windows of every house were full OF
eager spectators. One hundred thousand
people saw the parade, which cook one hour
and FIVE minutes to pass q given point. This
is the largest crowd Chattanooga ever had
and the longest procession that ever tramped
her streets.
First came platoon OF police, and then
the United States troops, foot and artillery.
In camp at Chickamauga Park, under COM
mand OF Colonel Poland. These numbered,
all told, about 1900 men. There were bat
taltons from the Sixth, Fourteenth and
Twenty-third Infantry and Battery F,

passing the reviewing stand, and the battery
proceeded to Orchard Knob, on the summit
of which was fired the Union salute OF forty
four guns at noon. At that hour began the
exercises in the tent intended to commem-

Ohio, and Senator William B. Bate, OF Ten
nessee, then spoke. Governor Levi P. Nor.
ton was afterward introduced and delivered
a short but patriotic address. At the close
of Governor Morton's address Governors

In 1898 the number of troy ounces was less
than the product Of 1886 by 142, 1853 troy
ounces, but the value was greater by $780,
600. Aluminium shows the largest increase
Of any of the metals reported, having risen
from 283 ounces In 1885, valued at $2550, to
$50. 900 ounces In 1894, valued at 1916, $50.
Tin does not appear until 1891, when 125,
2S9 pounds is reported, valued at S25,O5S.
slight increase in tin product and value Is
shown in 1892, decrease in 1893 and none
Is reported in 1894.
Bituminous coal product was largest in
1893, being 1913, 1886, ,231 long tons. The pro-
duct in 1894 fell off nearly ten million tons.
Anthracite coal also had the largest output
in 1893, being 4s.1s5, sos long tons, valued at
$85. .6S7. .07S. In 1894 the product was 49,

DESCRIPTION OF THE PARK
Unquestionably the Grandest Reservation
of It's Kind in the World.

Unquestionably the Grandest Reservation
of It's Kind in the World.
The park is unquestionably the grandest
reservation of its kind in the world, and per
haps, the most comprehensive military OBJ
iect lesson. The Federal Government has
expended on it 3750,000 since its establish
ment was authorized in 1890, while various
State governments have expended $500. 900
more, making the total OF 81 ,25o, 900. The
plan was to restore the old lines OF the
Chickamauga-Chattano campaigns OF
September 10 and 90, and November "a ant
25, 1868, as they were when the battles were
fought-marking all points OF attack and de-
fense by either side, setting up monuments
commemorating the troops engaged, and re-
storing the fields to their original condition.
This design has been carried out to the
letter.
The Chickamauga and Chattanooga cam
paigns were largely representative OF the
whole country. Twenty-eight States had
organizations in the battses-a more general
representation than appeared upon any other
battlefield of the war. Five States had troops
on both sides-Kentucky, Tennessee. Mis-
souri,, West Virginia and Maryland. AT
ChicEamauga Rosecrans had 129 regiments
of infantry, and enough cavalry and artil-
lery to make up total OF 1872 organizations.
Bragg had 1873 regiments OF infantry, 80 OF
cavalry, and Al batteries. In the Chatta-
nooga movements Grant had 2EO regiments
OF infantry, and, with his cavalry and artil-
lery, 261 organizations. Bragg had 163 reegi-
ments of infantry, 33 regiments OF cavalry.
and 46 batteries, makinga u total OF 242 or
ganizations.
OF the twentY-ei2ht States furnishing
these troops nine States have, thus far. set
up monuments in the park, providing, us
rule, one for each regiment. Should the
other States do the same, there will be the
magnificent array of 500 monuments, max
ing spectacle that will have no counterpart
on any ether battlefield in the world. ex-
cept that of Gettysburg. All these monn-
ments and markings are OF granite, bronze or
iron. thus insuring permanency.
The Federal Government has set up 4OO
historical tablets, and will set up l6Ou more
On the tablets, in embossed white letters, are
set forth the historic details OF the six battles
-Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Lookout
Mountain, Orchard Knob, Wauhatchie and
Browns Ferry. They also mark the posi-
tions OF army headquarters, corps, divisions
and brigades, both Union and Confederate
and the parts borne by each organization
are concisely stated, without censure
and without praise. Besides these
tablets the Government has erect
I'd nine granite monuments, all differ
ent, one for each Of the regiments and bat
teries Of the regular army. 1t has also built
eight pyramidal monuments OF novel de.
sign, each ten feet high, constructed OF
eight-inch shells, in honor OF four Union Of
flcers and four Confederate officers killed In
action, on the spots where they fell.

ever, General Gordon again claimed the at
tention Of the crowd. Holding alolt his
hand, he said:
"I have here button drenched with

was cut from his coat by G. G. Lindsay,

ment, who authorizes me to present it to any
friend Of that hero who will accept and
cherish it and hand it down to posterity.'
Turning to Attorne, General Harmon, q
resident of Cincinnati. which was also Gen.
eral Lytle's home, General Gordon presented
it to him. Subsequently Captain Silas Mo-
fort, of Cincinnati, informed MIR. Harmon
that George Lytle's nephew was present on
the grounds, and Mr. Harmon sent the prec-
ious relic to him. This incident having been
closed, General Longstreet made short ad-
dress. General Longstreet was frequently
interrupted by enthusiastic applause. The
audience then sang "Auld Lang Syne" and
dispersed.
There was big crowd in the pig tent in
Chattanooga at grand reunion Of the Army
OF the Tennessee, Union and Confederate.
General Grenville NJ. Dodge, of the Society
Of the Army of the Tennessee, presided. Al
ter music by the band and prayer, he intro
duced General o. o. Howard. Other speak
ers were General Joseph Wheeler, of Ala
