Commander Sexton Of Grand Army Won't Dis
cuss Presidents Suggestions.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE executive
committee of the G. A. r., today,
concluded its meeting which begun,
yesterday, and which was devoted to
arrangements for the national encamp-
ment to be held here in September next.
Hotel accommodations, railroad trans
portations and other matters in con-
neocion with the assembling of the vet
Grams at the encampment were dis
posed of.
James A. Sexton of Chicago, national
commander of the Grand Army of the
Republic, who attended the meeting of
ganization. today, declined to discuss
President McKinley's suggestion in his
speech at Atlanta that the national
government should share with the
Southern people in the care of the
graves of Confederate soldiers as it
new cares for the graves of those who
fought on the Union side. Regarding
the proposition that the same day
should be observed as Memorial Day
by both North and South, the colonel
said there could certainly be no OBJ
lection Ito the idea and he thought such
a step would go great way toward
celebrating so-called sectional lines.
Col. Sexton said:
Il made the suggestion over two
years ago to have the Blue and Gray
unite on the same day for the purpose
of memoralizing the soldier dead. In
Chicago, Richmond, New Orleans and
Atlanta, they follow this course now.
There are 5000 Confederate soldiers
buried in Chicago, and comrades have
contributed to the erection of monu-
|. ment over their graves. At the time
this monument was dedicated on Me
mortal Day, the commander of Massa-
| chusetts detained against it on the
ground that Memorial Day belonged to
Union men. l was then prompted to

mander and felt it my duty to do so,
