he did not take his place on the carriage
from which the other speakers addressed
the audience his remarks could scarcely
be heard ten feet away.
Hon. Samuel NJ. Shortridge, orator of the
occasion, was introduced 10 the vast aud
fence IN brief and mplimentary terms
Mounting carriage, which served as the
speakers stand, Mr.. Shortridge with un.
covered head spoke in this manner:
Wherever on the face of the earth
man dies for man is holy ground. Where
sleep the men who have died for their
country is sacred and halIowed ground.
On this beautiful spot consecrated to the
memory OF the heroic dead, L place one
more flower on the tomb. The fame oi
the men who fought in the great cause
the blessed cauSe-of human liberty is
blown by these winds all over the earth.
The oratory of the future will be ex,
hausted in praise of those who gave their
lives 10 their country.
THE genius of art and poetry has been
invoked to tell the story of achievement
by the great leaders, but to the private
soldier and sailor ! would pay the full
measure OF my love and yours. 1t is easy
to die for ones country when the eyes oi
the word are upon you and fame awaits
death; but the grand and sublime sacrl-
fee Is TO die unknown in the dark rayin e
or on the depths OF the sea. The reward
I in the years and life to come, the crown
OF brightest glory and the diadem most
Respondent will be placed upon the brow
OF the common soldier and sailor who
died IN obscurity. an unknown sacrince to
his country's honor
In the words Of great poet l can saw
that the victory belongs to him who died
IN silence and obscurity, giving his life
and his blood that his country might life.
II trust that we who have assem bled
here on this beautiful and hallowed spot
to-day, and those who may meet here in
the future, shall prove as worthy in their
day and generation as the men in whose
honor We have reared this beautiful mon.
ument."
The eloquent remarks of Mr.. Shortridge
were frequently applauded during The
psuses OF his speech, and at the concIu-
sion OF the address a round of prolonged
applause greeted the orator.

With Impressive Ceremonies.
The scene at the Presidio National
Cemetery yesterday when the beautiful
monument of the regular Army and Navy
Union was unveiled will not pass out OF
the memory of visitors there assem pled
for long time to come. The panorama
Of land and sea viewed from the monu-
ment site is enchanting. The grace and
symmetry OF the monument itself enlist
admiration. The literary services incl
Gent 10 the dedication were profoundly
impressive, without being soiemnly de-
pressive. The glitter of military phara-
phernalla, the sharp explosions of the
artillery salute, the inspiring airs of the

borne by its defenders always awakens con-
tributed to render the dedicatory exercise
a celebration OF triumph
The Regular Army and Navy Union is

has come to stay. 1t will rear many mon

may speak 10 future generations.

The observance of Memorial day in San
Francisco yesterday was general. There
was complete suspension OF business for
the day, and every one that could be
spared from the avenues of industry rem.
dered in some form or another recogni-
ton of the holiday.
An event which gave larger interest to
the days Observance in this City was the
dedication of another beautiful monument
IN the National cemetery at the Presidio.
Il has now come TO pass that San Fran
cisco observes this patriotic holiday with
as much earnestness and devotion as any
other City in the Union can manifest.
Even the cities from which many regi-
ments were recruited for service in the
war do not surpass San Francls CO in patri-
otic remem brance OF loyal deeds.

Dragged Twenty-Five Miles in the
Hot SUN by Colombian Soldiers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-George w. Schif-
fer who arrived here to-day on the Atlas
line steamer Adirondack, from Port Limon,
tells a story of alleged outrage that may
call for interference by the Washington
authorities. Mr.. Schiller is an American cit
izen and resident of Buffalo, N. Y. He
was superintendent of the gold mine of the
Puma Mining Company at Honda, in the
United States of Colombia. Mr. Schiller
says that through ignorance of the GUS
toms of the country he failed to turn in a
certificate of the quantity of native liquors
sold at the mining company's stores. For
this Offense, he says, nine armed soldiers
entered his house in the middle of the night
and attempted to drag him to Jail. He re-
sisted and kept them at bay until morn
ing. Subsequently, Mr. Schiller says, he was
dragged slowly in the fierce sun by the
longest route to the courthouse, at Victoria,
twenty-five miles distant from Honda A
rope was tied around his neck and he was
jeered at, insulted and otherwise ill treated
by the natives. Mr.. Schiller, after his re-
lease. instituted with the United States
minister at Bogota a suit for $25 900 DAM
ages against the Colombian government.
