mittee on military affairs of the House q
report which he called for from the
Chiokamauga and Chattanooga National
Military Park commission upon Repre-
sentative Grcsvenor's bill providing for
the erection OF an arch Of nationality
upon the battlefield at Chattanooga.
The commission expresses the opinion
that this Is an appropriate site. lee
cause all of the great arruies of the North
and South were either engaged there or
numerously represented, namely: In the
Union side, the army Of the Cumberland,
two corps from the army of the Tonnes
sse, and two corps from the army Of the
Potomac, which on the Confederate side
were the forces Of Bragg. mais up of his
own army. Longstreet's corps from the
army OF North Virginia and large forces
from Vioksburg and from Joseph Il.
Johnson's command In Mississippi. The
present and absent on the rolls OF these
commands, all of whom or their friends
are Interested are, Union, lS9. 500; SOL
iiers Confederate, l4l 00o. The total
organizations engaged were CSC, OF which
34s were Union and 3Ss were Confederate.
2.-Every state In the Union at the
outbreak Of the war east OF the Rocky
mountains had troops engaged In the
battles about Chattanooga except four
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island
and Delaware. In the mobilization az
Camp Thomas for the war with Spain.
New Hampshire and Vermont were
represented and troops from both sections
rallied there. This assembling Of troops
at Chickamauga, where fully one-quarter
of the entire army was gathered, IL
deem,d by the park commission to fur
thsr emphasize the appropriateness of the
proposed location Of an arch Of national
ity. since there were camped side by side
under the one flag soldiers from Minnie
sofa and South Carolina, Vermont and
Tennessee, Michigan and Georgia,
Arkansas and New York, Maine and
Mississippi.
9.-Ths com mission points out that
Chattano oga is nearer central and nearer
the center of population than any OF the
great battleneids, being midway bet wsen
Maine and Texas. between Minnesota and
Florida, between the lakes and the gulf

Mr.. Bate of tennessee followed in A..

Mr.. Bats OF Tennessee followed in q
speech In favor Of pi-mstaliism and In
opposition TO the proposed gold standard.
He urged that the pending bill was
framed in the Interest OF the national
banks and Of tbs bond holders who were
the stockholders In the national banks.
He maintained that the pledge Of parity
Of gold and silver would not be kept
that 1t would be broken rs soon as those
who profited by this bill should assert
their power and demand the sacrifice Of
silver. However, he maintained that
eventually silver would rise triumphant.
10 was the money Of the masses and not
withdrawing the obstacles now placed In
Its way, 1t would rise again rs soon ss
the demand Of the people for more money
should be felt. Gold monometallism had
no inherent power with the people and
WAS simply the pound OF flesh demanded
by the financial Shylocks.
Mr.. Bate declared his belief in state
banks and in local self government.
Mr.. Allen who spoke next, said the
money question.wns the most momentous
before the people today and declared his
adherence to free coinage at the rate Of

"That Is quite another thing" inter

Mr.. Allen-"Oh. no, beg your par

Mr.. Spoonsr-"Ths power to destroy

potato bug may destroy potato vine, but
1t cannot create one" (Laughter.)
Mr.. Allen-( Speaking with some feel
ipg-'I do not like to be made a butt Of
Jest Of that kind. This is serious
question with me-"
Comparing the House bill and the SEN
ate substitute, Mr.. Allen said: ''The
man who drew the House bill at least
had the courage of his convictions; but
the man who drew the Senate measure
had great craft and no moral courage.
The bill Is one of spoliation and oonfl.-
cation and to Increase ana perpetrate the

not change the status OF our silver money,

1t confers Z upon no bank or bank
currency any rights or privileges which
they do not now possess.
A Mr.. Allen (sarcastioaliy )-"It's very

Mr.. Aldrioh-'I should say rather,

Without having concluded his remarks,
Mr.. Allen at $50 p. m, yielded the floor

A new bill authorizes the secre.
tary of the navy to contract for Krupp
armor at s545 ton. In the naval
appropriation bill Of last year, the
limit of $500 a. ton was fixed upon the
price OF armor. No contracts could
be placed at that price, and the result
is that none Of the three battleships
and three armored cruisers authorized
by last years bill have been contract
ed for. For the same reason the bat
tleships Wisconsin, Alabama and IL
linois, which should have been deliv-
cred to the government complete last
year, have been delayed, and their
builders are seeking redress from the
government for the loss incurred
through failure to supply the armor.
Under the new bill, the secretary's
authority to buy armor at s545 ton
applies to, vessels before authorized
as well as those provided for in the
bill. -. -
