MEMORIAL BRIDGE.
Meeting of National Association to
Consider Ways and Means.

At a meeting Of the National Memorial
Bridge Association at 1905 G street north
west Saturday afternoon the partially COM
pleted draft of constitution was reported
by COMMITTEES and considered. A number
of sections were adopted. The objects Of
the association as set forth are, briefly,
that steps shall be taken Immediately upon
the adoption of the constitution to form
societies throughout the United States for
the purpose of arousing national enthusi-
asm and taking subscriptions for the erec-
ton of a bridge in memory of the American
soldiers and sailors from the time of the
Revolution to the present day connecting
Washington with the national cemetery at
Arlington.
The subscription feature was opposed by
DR.. A =. Pardon, who said that the pro-
posed bridge should cost $1OOO,00 and he
thought that the work of the association
should consist in bringing its influence to
bear upon the senators and representatives
in Congress.
At future meeting final action will be
taken on the constitution. The committee
appointed at the first meeting to consider
the nominations of the national officers did
not make a report. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the presidency of the association
has been offered to Chauncey M. Depew.
